world, i can't help but wonder if anybody's thinking about the future of this country. where is the water disappearing to river is at risk. the global war surprises unveiled. starts march 21st on the w a. c w. news coming to live in berlin. the commission present issues of stark warning as a european leaders gather for an emergency summit support for ukraine, tips tops the agenda as well as discussions on the future of europe's defense. also in the program, donald trump needs meets freed, is really hostages in the white house as he issues a stern warning to a master free, others still held in gaza. the

hello him, terry martin, thanks for joining us. european leaders have kicked off. crisis talks in brussels, aimed at boosting defense spending and showing up support for ukraine. choppy leaders have been joined by ukraine's present for allowing me is lensky, the toss. com. just days after the us pause, military aid and intelligent sharing with ukraine. european nations are under pressure to step up following tropes, decision to distance us from europe's security. speaking head of the summit, ursula thunder line, the commission present, made it clear just how important this moment is for ukraine and for europe. this is a watershed moment for year old and ukraine as part of our european family. it's

also water shaped moment for ukraine. europe faces a clear and present danger. and therefore, europe has to be able to protect itself to defend itself. as we have to put ukraine in a position to protect itself and to push for loss thing and just piece by phone there. anyway, earlier i spoke about this with the w as brussels bureau chief alexander from now when i asked her, what's at stake for europe and ukraine. well, the stakes are incredibly high. i would say there is no doubt about that. terry, and we've heard from many, you appear need leaders stressing exactly dads with lisa and yes, presidents nosy does saying that this is the moment for that. you are p and you're going to decide whether they are a global play or for just a clump of discussions at the polish crime. and as to task told us today that there is actually no room for failure when you consider the potential consequences. and

rush, of course is seen here as a huge threats to the whole cons. and then so we are hearing also from a diploma is telling us behind closed doors that they have the uh, the feeling that there has been a change of mindset with many european leaders. no, acknowledging that you cannot any longer rely on the you ask protection, and it's that it is up to them to run upstairs, support for ukraine to make sure that they can send out freshman techs. now the us has paused military support for ukraine at a critical moment. alexandra, replacing that support is a monumental task. can european countries build the guy? they can not, at least not in a short term. we have to be honest about steps. what do we look at the kinds of

weapons that to you as provided to kids since the beginning of a rush us invasion, ukraine was able to rely for the protection of the cities and infrastructure. on the u. s. made sophisticated or defense system states were able to carry on long range strikes with timers and attack. can miss aisles produced into us? and even in the past, when some european nations decided to provide to clean with u. s. made fight to jets. they had to get the approval from the us. so that's tells you a lot about the quality of the weapons. that's one western official described as the cream of weapons. but of course, it is also a question of quantity as the world's most powerful military. the u. s. was able to provide 2 claim, for instance, with hundreds of humvees and other vehicles. and that will be difficult to match

for many smalley, european armies. the last week, the commission chief us on the line table to plan that could unlock around 800000000000 euros in defense investments over the next 4 years. how realistic is it that this some will actually come together? it is a huge amount of money that has to be mobilized yet. but when we look at some measures, for instance, that you a p and commission is saying that they can borrow up to 100000000000 euros at international markets. and then a, give them money to member states to boost their weapons production and to buy a munition. for instance, that is quite realistic. that's could happen soon or quickly. but when we look at other measures, they can take longer time to be implemented. so all of that to talk you about, you know, this is a crucial moment for you to. those are big words,

but we will needs to see some action to follow. alexandra, thank you so much. our brussels bureau chief alexandra phenomena says european leaders look to boost their military defenses. the war and ukraine has already up ended years of establish military doctrine. drones become one of the defining weapons of the conflict. something ukrainian soldiers say nato countries are not prepared to handle tanks. the trenches and artillery the early battles and rushes invasion of ukraine play down like scenes from the 2 world wars. but now 3 is on. another weapon has come to dominate the battlefield. drugs. the thoughts of a little abuse it had not been for drones. everything would have been

a lot worse for you across boys less if you can. drones or the tool which allow us to give them a symmetrical response. when the enemy is larger for people, stronger, and doesn't value it, soldiers lives, and it's in the wheel to task. let us loosely useful, but from unmanned aircraft to tiny home made models, drones. and now the most common with in, in the ended c, ukrainian officials estimate they are responsible for around 60 to 70 percent of old casualties on the battlefield. cutting edge, conventional weapons like germany's liquid to tank have taken a back seat. even sophisticated air defense systems like the us to provide high mazda battery, making less of an impact, as hundreds of drones swarm across both sides of the front line. so ukrainian soldiers on the ground. the reason for this dramatic shift is simple. what type of process, so just elementary mathematics, how much does a missile that shoots down a sure head drone costs and how much does a head costs and the cost of it?

and how much does it cost to deploy a ship, a plane in an air defense system to fire at it? both ukraine and russia are now racing to expand the drone production and adapt to rapid innovations from the other side. something that ukranian soldiers say the west and allies also need to learn is to show you i bought from what i see and here and available were not a single needle. army. is that it is ready to resist the cascade of drones. not only as you are paying the allies look to ramp up to the defense spending. drones already shaping how the was of the future will be for sure while ago i spoke about this with marina miran. she's with the defense studies department at kings college london. i asked her what lessons can be learned from how ukraine and russia are using drones on the battlefield? a good afternoon. well, um, we have to understand that. um,

the ukrainian and forces have to be very flexible and you've seen that as a very beginning of the war. one bowls, so ukrainian, since the russian started using the j i. magic quad cultures. so we up talking about a degree of adaptability here. of course, there has been in the government grants for civilian drone producers to switch their production in for military purposes. and that is what has happened in ukraine as part of the, for instance, break one on a program. and therefore, the benefit here is that you bring in forces can get for all the types of loans to test them on the battlefield. and can give almost real time feedback to the producers to adjust the drawings. because it is an interplay, the premiums produced new drones. the russians adapt the produce new electronic warfare systems or adjust their existing electronic warfare systems to jams or

brands. and so you have this katherine miles game going on, but both sides are kind of trying to lead into this technological reese. so there is no point in mass producing drugs because they could be redundant just in a couple of weeks. now, drones have been used on the battlefield for many years already, also by western forces, long before russia's full scale invasion of ukraine. how well is nato prepared for drone and warfare today to well, let's clarify for a 2nd. drones have been used since 1950 is to be more precise, but so strong and so different from the drones that i use now as a drones that's from the united states. and nato has been using large reconnaissance drones or stripe drawings, which are very expensive. similar to the russian, orland pan, or the turkish and by iraq todd to be to drones. what we're seeing now is

a shift towards smaller 1st person view drones, drones. and this is where the problem is. nita forces has not experienced the character of was it? we're seeing now in ukraine, and so i think in the there will be a lot of lessons learned for me to, to adapt to these kinds of tactics. to use these drones for different purposes for as loitering, munitions, as well as a tactical, reconnaissance and so on. and so you, doctrines will probably be written up, production will be adjusted and also training and the education of the armed forces of respective countries will have to be adjusted to include this training to include as tv drones of house a will be used on the bottle too, but we should not forget that it's still critical to have that, that kind of logical edge so that your drones cannot be chummed and to have enough

of them to make some sort of a difference on the operational level. because i'm still you see ukrainians. russians use drones, but they still use the water for delivery. so drones do not really serve as a substitute for more conventional weapons. what do you think the nato country should be doing now? marina to scale up their drone capacities as well. they shouldn't be observing both sides specifically not just in terms of how ukrainians use rodents, but what the russians are doing in order to counteract the use of drones. and there is a lot of innovation happening on the battlefield. and it's important to study both sides very carefully to see how, for instance, electronic warfare, housing will still aquatic warfare techniques have rubles. now the russians, for instance, started using drones was a fiber optics cable. so in order to make someone general both same was the

ukrainians, they have taken that idea copied it as well. and so i think that this doing those lessons will be important, but nothing will probably substitute for real battlefield experience. and unless you are in that situation where you, you, you faced was a stressful drones and you have to defend against runs, of course, simulations, training. nice thing that movie is a keen, not so much drunk production. because as i said, the drums that are produced today might already be out of date. arena. thank you very much for talking with us. so that was marina mirand of the things college level. thank you for having me. let's look at some other stories making headlines. lithuania has become the 1st european union member of state to withdraw from the international convention on cluster munitions. within a 120 countries have signed the convention, which prohibits the acquisition use and production of the weapons with waning it is

bordered by the russian territory of colleen and grub, and russia's closest ally. belarus, bosnian serb leader, meter dick was, has, has approved several laws, banning central government, police and judicial authorities involves news, semi autonomous or territory. the laws will escalate tensions in bosnia and herzegovina where dick is already facing prison time and removal from office. he was sentenced last week for ignoring decisions by the authority ever seeing the country's peace accords. protesters have clashed with police in the argentine capital, when desirous as they tried to march around the congress building. the demonstrators were demanding higher pensions and protesting present hobby and malays austerity measures. the weekly pensioners protest was joined by football fans heating the call of, of a social media campaign, calling for more support. the chinese nationals who work traffic to scam centers

and myanmar are being sent home toilet which motors me on mars, facilitating the transfer of more than 1400 people back to china. the victims were lowered to the region on the premises of, of the promise of lucrative jobs, but were instead forced to work for on line fraudsters. south crews military says the pilot error was what caused one of his fighter jets to accidentally dropped 8 bombs on a civilian area. during training, a people were injured in several buildings damaged when the k. f. 16 jets released the bombs onto a civilian area close to the border with north korea. the military says they will hold live drills while they investigate the accident and that they will cons, compensate the victims. earlier i spoke to journal as bobby and crush who's in the south brain capital soul. he began by explaining how this incident on folded it's

yeah, the incident happened during regular military exercises that are conducted here by the south korean army together with the u. s. army and been something really unprecedented happened and we talk about an area that is actually quite close to the north korean border because those submitted to exercise as a part of a deterrent strategy against the french from the north. but the usually um, those fighter jets, they fly around shooting ranges and then drop their bombs. but this time a fight a pilot has dropped a bombs on civilian area on a village. and um yeah, people were in judge buildings were destroyed. but given what we know, i think it's rather astonishing that the damage is not even much greater because to the bumps that were dropped are a so called mock 80 to bottom stair, 500 pounds heavy. they're more than 2 meters in length, and their radios of destruction is comparable to a football field. so it's really serious damage. there's probably in crestwood

talking to us a little earlier from so well us present donald trump has issued what he called his quote. last warning to hum us leaders threatening further destruction and gaza. if all remaining hostages are not released. he issued the ultimatum on his social media platform. the president also told gardens that a quote, beautiful future awaits them. but if they hold on to the hostages, they are good. earlier the us present met with freed captives in the white house where we pledge to return those still being held off on this with joint in the studio by our middle east analyst shawnee rose on is charlie we've got trump saying he wants all the hostages out now how much is the only way for that to happen is if the agreed piece still moves forward into the next stage, what are the chances of the deal actually proceeding as planned? well, it seems like we're in a very critical days because we are

a hearing and as always, reports that there might be, has been a break. so in those talks in direct talks been, come us mostly. uh, you know, so when a go shooters uh, caught her in egypt and, and trumping his people's teeth, which cough is his chief envoy to this topic? israel is denying any progress. we're still need to see if this is about just, you know, keeping, you know, positions a tougher, but we know we, americans are pushing strong and they keep on pushing because the steel of 3 stages it was agreed upon and started on some, on january 19th, shortly before trump took office seems to be the only pass forward if you want to stick to negotiations. but the thing is that it's not quite clear if israel wants just to see negotiations as the only solution we hear in, you know, from us saying this is the only path, but for israel in, for an it to now there's a lot of, uh, you know, questions on whether this is what needs to be done because his real has promised to eradicate her mazda. so you have seemed to be quite adamant in going edit and it seems like the americans are not going to stop him. the question is,

what happens 1st, are they 1st focusing and bringing the hostages because operating in gaza with around 22 is really hostages. still alive, believe to be alive, would make it very hard for the idea of to make any progress or any changes. this has been the struggle that they have had in the past and will still have as long as they are leaving hostages in gaza. so this is exactly where we are now. maybe there's a chance for breakthrough, but if not, this is going to be, you know, the determinant, next 2448 hours crucial times. now it's crucial to because i mean in the meantime, israel has cut off all a shipments going into a gaza. so that's a factor as well. if the talks moving into a 2nd phase, do not proceed. what happens next? is there a plan b? what we hear the rhetorics from israel and from trump talking about unleashing how that, you know, guys, over all of these things. i mean, let's be very honest with you know, gaza has been through so far has been horrific as it is. but is really expanding to

do is 1st may be cut out of the tricity. maybe siege maybe take over some parts of guys that it has not taken over before. so escalating even further as much as it's maybe hard to imagine and, and may mostly, what is real, feels like it needs to be even more aggressive. what is what would want to see what it's and yeah, i would like to see. and what trump is somewhat hinting at in his post as if they want to complete the surrender of how much this is a very wild dream that mentioned y'all when the right in his role have had from day one. i think how must has been showing a lot of, you know, you know, perseverance and i am not seeing how any of this is coming close to, you know, any closer to being achieved, even with a trump in the white house. but it's clear that an attorney i was gonna try and it seems like trump is not going to be the one to stop him showing. thank you very much. i really say little shiny, recently. welcome to her. in the united states, a prices have been have more than doubled within a year. the surgeon costs are partly due to an outbreak of bird flu that's led to

the calling of millions of chickens. the price hike of such an essential part of the american diet as feeding into wider fears of inflation. and it's leaving many consumers and restaurants enters shell shocked. few foods there is crucial to the american breakfast is eggs. but the price is searched by more than 100 percent in the last 12 months. and that's left consumers and restaurant owners scrambling for solutions. eggs are really important. we go through a lot of eggs. they're usually $46.00 a case. and right now they're a $146.00 a case. this is a 3 is impose the surcharge of $2.00 on old meals containing ex employees. say most customers have sold at the move for now the others. it's yet another reminder that the cost of living in the us is going up. it's a good mix. i mean,

some people have been keeping up with sort of, you know, the shortage of eggs. and so they're not surprised, and other people, you know, are upset because food's really expensive. the shortage of eggs and this guy high prices have been caused largely by an outbreak of 80 in flu. which is fault, foam is to coal more than $160000000.00, but because it comes as us consumers are starting to feel more pessimistic about the economy with inflation rising unexpectedly to 3 percent in january 2025. there were also concerns that us president donald trump's trade targets will drive up prices even more for american households. during his campaign, trump promised the opposite. so when i went, i will immediately bring prices down starting on day one. many, many days later. and some a wondering if trump may have to eat his woods. for now,

the, the us is looking to make up the some of the shop full by importing eggs from turkey when the world's biggest ex voltage, which is unclear if these quick fix will contain the launch of problems, the american consumers could face it, trump fails to deliver on his pledge to reduce prices. still, donald trump is double down on his stated goal of alex in greenland. in an address to congress the us president said the island would eventually be in america's hands, one way or the other. but with the elections fast approaching in dreamland, many voters there are taking the opportunity to reignite the debate on what really matters to them. and that is fully independence from denmark. america is donald trump reiterated his desire to antics greenland to the us in typically contradictory style. we strongly support your right to determine your own future.

and if you choose, we welcome you into the united states of america, but we need it really for international world security. and i think we're going to get it one way or the other. we're going to get it the reason for the sudden interest in an enormous arctic island with just 57000 inhabitants. well there's, it's coveted strategic location. while under the ice ly valuable rear f metals vital for telecommunications as well as billions of barrels of on top oil, denmark, illinois to island 300 years ago and still controls its forwarding and defense policies. will greenland has been sent me a ton of us since? 1917. i know elections next week. we'll see the question of filled greenland independence brought into sharp focus on the elections on the march 11th. that

going to be historically, it's very likely that there will be a process at talking about independence, real independence for the 1st time between denmark and greenland. there's denmark for administer, set. the most important part of trump. speech was to respect the island, the southern thieves, white that they want to loosen that ties to denmark. but i've no idea the that the want to do that in order to, to, to become, you know, an integrated part of america. so we emphasizing what he did, the rights with sophia determination, i think, was the most important part of the speech. residents of the capital nuke gave a mixed reaction. this is one way or the other way, going to keep on dreaming. on the drone. got the village, so you've got the fluids, you've got everything. i think she didn't keep audit related to relay tap. no more than this homo. everything we did,

we did have and he might like to add add a lot of taxes here, which would also increase the home this year. so it's really we feel like it's a bad idea and we just more why don't be like for a little i land just more independent than anything else. meanwhile is greenland prepares to vote. the message from its incumbent prime minister is clear. we don't want to be americans, nor danes, which would be exit route on facebook. greenland is ours. you're watching dw news, just reminder the top stories were following for you this. our european leaders are meeting at an emergency summit in brussels, with the aim of ramping up defense spending and shoring up support for ukraine. the talks calm as the united states pauses all support for ukraine in its war with russia. and on his social media platform, u. s. presence donald trump has issued what he called is last warning to hamas
