the meeting in brussels. comes just days off to the west. pause, military 8 and intelligent, sharing with keith european nations around depression following the tropic ministrations decision, distance the united states from european security you're paying commission president also the fund line said european lead has a considering a plan to re um, europe. we are determined to invest more to invest better and to invest faster together from paris to london to brussels. we have shown that we are willing and able to step up our joint efforts and to coordinate effectively. this text is that europe is facing a clear and present danger. and this is why i presented the re on your plan today to the lead us a plan to give you up the military capability that it needs to face to day sweats.

it's coach, mobilize up to $800000000000.00 euros and it is about taking more responsible on our shoulders for our own security. because the urgency is real, very own check power is at the summit. tell us more about what's come out of this meeting. of the well, essentially what we saw is this plan, the sort of land, the line put forward at the end of this week called re um your up as it seems to be being approved. now the details are still a little bit vague, but this idea of raising a 100000000000 euros a 150000000000 yours of it's through the use of loans that the european union institutions will take on. and the rest 3 sort of a marketing different funds, moving the money around, allowing countries to support the industries at leaving desktops, etc, and different ways that appears to be approved. how it really works out when it comes to it will have to wait to be seen. but the leaders all 27 of them approve

this re um your plan going forward. now what happens is the institutions have in brussels. they look into how they can operationalize this plans. the idea of being that you countries instead of purchasing, all of the same old of them buying exactly the same technology, all of the same military equipment. they can pull together by it together, either buy it together or procure it together and use one another's. the idea is to make this more efficient to make it quicker, and really your to try and stand on his own 2 feet off the trump has pulled his support type of ukraine and therefore, so there's subsequently active your of jack the way you frame it. it sounds like you're is very united in its support for you. is that the case? you know, as far as opposed to ukraine? actually no, that was another discussion point here at the summit, which was a by ukraine in the continued support, the ukraine,

and 26 of the use 27 countries agreed to it. one of them, you probably might have guessed it already hungry, didn't agree, and that's because a big old on is pro russia and is in line with trump. and essentially, what was interesting about this, um it from what we've seen is they didn't even really boulders to try and get him on board with this. they've essentially put an asterix in the document signed. it also has $26.00, use the special clothes that they kind of meet you and just moved on ordinary. these are mazda advice about this. now they've moved on, but the rest of them appeared to be united in the support of ukraine's defense against the russian invasion. okay, so we can now expect concrete steps to be taken as far as expanding european support. thank you. ok. what, what's interesting with this is this, it's the some, it's really been about your own defense, but some of that will trickle down into supporting ukraine because the more they procure weapons, the more they'll be able to give to ukraine, should they want to,

we had brought them is the landscape of ukrainians president here today. he won't have really got that much out of what he wanted it part from the big strong show of support and that's what he needs at the moment off to that k of take meetings in the oval office with the vice president and the president of the united states, there is one other important issue that's been going on here at the summit today. french president remind you of my crohn riled the russians out by saying the french nuclear weapons could be used to protect the european countries that he could sort of put forward a protective shield. the russian said that that would be seen as a direct sign of aggression, a threat to them. but we heard from emanuel macro on the french president off the summit. he said that he had to have discussions with of the leaders and the some of them were very much interested in that proposal. very interesting times. they don't use jack power. thank you. as well as you kind surprise it and shows up your pain

this mission is all about science. that's why we're going there. the 1st place you may say, or companies doing it, or what we're going there to do, sized understanding, what is like to be the soft pull the mood and then prepare for what we'll do when humans go. but there's another cool thing uh, the other day. the firefly lander, which came down a couple days ago, show that you can use gps, you know, the stuff that you use every day to drive buying places on a map that you don't need the map or any more. now this row over the 2nd one that just landed has no key or hardware on there to use cellphone technologies with 6 g . so you, it's identical to what you use your notes. so here we are. we now apparently will have gps and cell phone coverage in the mood. oh, you do is to send people there to use it. a stiff calling back from nasa one still . com. you're up to date, but stay with us. dw business is up next asking if the you can compete with china is investments in european royal projects and dates as well. and thanks for joining us. a lot more use for you next out here on the w,
