where is the voltage disappearing to grid is at risk. the global war surprises unveiled, stops march 21st on dw, the. the state of the news coming to live for berlin. war monitors report violence classes in syria between the government troops and supporters of the hosted former president for 4 to pam bushes and 650 to q. sions emerge. and one of the biggest challenges to the new governments since the fall of bushel hello saw. also coming up the repeating commission present warrants to use facing a clear and present danger as us ships towards prussia. european leaders free up billions of bureaus to rearm a consummate that may no longer be able to rely on washington's protection. and as m 23 rebels advance and the democratic republic of congo, the government in contrast to the considers offering vol,

minerals to the united states in exchange for security guarantee, the hello, i'm terry martin. good, heavy with us. the serial observatory for human rights says clashes between syrian troops and forces loyal to ousted liter bus y'all. law, so i'd have tooled more than 70 people. the funding broke out on thursday is concentrated in coastal cities in the west. through just government has launched a large scale security operation ambushed by pro a solid fighters near the port city of look talk you still 13 story in certain troops. the region is a strong hold of us out supporters and the for us now and effect the flashes of the deadly as since i saw was toppled by insurgents in december as

well. joining me here in the studio for more on this is the w reporter garcia or honest. gotcha. what more do we know about these developments? these clashes in west and syria? alteri, these are the worst clashes on the syrian coast since the fall of the assad regime . and right now, as it stands, the security forces of the current leadership says that they've captured $200.00 loyalist forces after several classes with them. they said there was an ambush on the low talk you highway and they responded with drones. overhead. they sent a ground troops from different major syrian cities. and all of that has resulted in a lot of bloodshed. there's different numbers coming in. so i'm saying more than 70 people now killed, including many being held captive house, understand the background to this. we know about the, our white community being associated with the former regime. but why are they clashing with security forces now that are running the country in this way at this

point? so yeah, when the security forces 1st entered this region, you know, when the assad government fell, a lot of the all white community just abandoned their troops. they didn't fire bullets, they didn't put up a slide, and it is happening in and much worse way now. and there could be different reasons for that. one was that there was this settlement plan that the security forces offered. they said former officers and high ranking officers and the former army could present themselves hand over their weapons and then they would be cleared away. but that deadline expired. even the extended deadline expired last month. so now anyone who didn't do that can face harsh punishment, and this could be fueling, you know, armed fights and classes because there's no other option for these people at the moment. another thing has been

a lot of protests within the little white community. they've been demanding the release of prisoners, alo, wide prisoners being held because of their role and a former government, as well as demanding that you know the current at a temporary government stop making legislations in the country and just focus on providing security and services. these demands were not met either. all of that has led to the rise intentions and now they're option of clashes. so, do serious new leaders have this under control now or does do these classes have potential to escalate into something bigger? administrative defense spokesperson has said that they're very close now to, you know, is re establish stability in this exact region and on serious coast. however, we also have trouble doing reports emerging that show these aren't just clashes, but there's a executions as well reported that are seen some of these videos surfacing on

telegram channels as people being shotwell, attempting to flee, or attempting to surrender. all of this is going to lead to an increase intentions already existing between this community of all a why it's which is an offshoot of us. yeah. as long as the sunni leaders and the current government, it's going to lead to more secure intentions. and through the government doesn't just space this one challenge. it also has challenges with occurs in the north. it has challenges with the jews in the south. and now, you know, they've promised a new government in march, and this will be one of the key things they have to tackle in order to bring things under control. garcia, thank you very much for fillings in there. that was dw reporter gusio or harness well, here in europe, europe, the leaders have held twice as talks and brussels in the wake of washington's parents, tip it away from its translating partners. the summit was sparked in part by a heated exchange between us present donald trump and ukrainians for ukraine's

president belonging his landscape at the white house which exposed the growing risk between the us and its allies. european commission president was up on the line, is proposing a joint procurement fund and changes to fiscal rules that could unlock up to 800000000000 euros of extra military spending. this public display of support for ukraine's will we re, president, was the 1st thing you need just wanted to achieve with this emergency meeting, which comes a week after the let him use savanski was kicked out of the white house off the caching for donald trump. the front of the me yeah, we do seems to day when we will continue with you know, and we will continue in the future. i want to thank all our european leaders festival and for such signal, strong support. these cons so strong support from the wherever you know,

the war and lots being during all this pure and last week you stay with us. zalinski use the occasion to us. you need us to continue urging washington to involve keep and peace negotiations with moscow. you need his agree with savanski that an agreement to stop the fighting without security guarantees will you claim wouldn't to, to russia from attacking again. the summit statement, e u d does have endorsed, says a ceasefire, must be part of a process that leads to a full peace agreement. it adds that any agreement must be accompanied by quote, robust and credible security guarantees for ukraine is henry's prime minister, big the old on, didn't back the statements. but all the leaders have committed to working together to both the goods defense they discussed easing the block street budget dead rules . so member states can increase their military spending. today, history is being written. we're coming out of this european council,

very determined to ensure europe security and to act with the scale the speed and the result that the situation demands. i present that 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. this is a moment of indication for fonts as president to menu mccall who forgive, has been urging europe to build the capacity to defend itself without relying on nature and the united states. fonts is not considered in protecting european allies with its new pos know, could you pull position to propose to open a strategic conversation with the member states that are interested in making progress on this subject? the more i don't say so,

so sure you it's an option that would have been unthinkable under the decades of transatlantic cooperation. well, thursday's you summit has been described as historic. i asked on a visa lender director for northern europe at the atlantic council, which she makes of the use pushed to mobilize 800000000000 euros in defense spent. well, i think this has been a historic week actually for europe. we finally see that europe comes up in the amount of money needed to actually make a difference when it comes to talking about crating european defense. we have had such a small sum before initiatives, but a very low less. busy an industry others have, you know, said that this is not enough. these, these are peanuts. that's what we have been discussing. but now we have the ability of mobilizing a 100000000000 euros. and we saw also germany taking decisions in,

in the range of, of perhaps $400000000000.00 euros, and then $500000000.00 useful investments the investments in infrastructure. these are the kinds of initiatives. these are the kind of sounds that we need to get used to talking about if. busy i'll have to create more of a european defense ability spending is one thing ramping up capabilities quickly and bundling them effectively as something else. again, how well is your position to do that in the defense sector as well? i mean, we have an excellent defense industry, so what we haven't, but we've had a very awkward situation in the past years where everyone recognized the need for increasing procurement quickly, both to feel our own stocks, but also to provide for ukraine of course, and to be able to sustain that circle and increase our overall at defense capabilities. but the industry has said that they have not had enough security long term security to do the investments. and the petitions have said that, you know,

we have provided that and it is to of industry schools. so to get out of that deadlock, you need to be able to move forward with them. that's what i expect things to happen out because industry must see that there is enough money, long term commitments in order for this to get going. and the politicians to provide the framework that is needed in order to get the production very quick rate . and if we have that set up, i think that's all the other components actually of their own towards easily solvable. now, publish prime minister dental tasks has said, quotes europe as a whole is truly capable of winning any military, financial, economic confrontation with russia. we are simply stronger, he said, they'll that may be true, but do you think that european countries have sufficient will and unity to muster that capability in the face of growing fall right populism a well, i think this is a challenge. we should not, not take everything for granted this past week,

so it's been weeks of shock, shock waves running through european capitals and the european population at the cost of the truck ministrations, various initiatives and the moves. but we need to sustain this. it's extremely important to have that conversation with the public. now, why is this necessary? what is the russian threat? it's a systemic fact that threatens not only ukraine, but all of us to europe and more globally as well. and they are aligned with china, and china is another adversary at a global level. so we are facing severe challenges and if we can get that conversation right in like the, of the internal domestic loadings ahead of us, that would be extremely difficult to sustain. but we need to, to really get this conversation going and that was on

a visa of the director for northern europe. atlantic council speaking to me issue a while ago sketchup on a few other stories making headlines around the world today. russia is carried out widespread attacks on ukraine's infrastructure, including in the northeastern city of hockey. the people were injured and a missile attack on a residential area in the city, which is one of your cranes largest president below him. is landscape called for a mutual end to such a tax of the court in south korea has pencils, the arrest warrant of impeach president, you and so your, after his lawyers argued, died, but was taking too long and was arrested in january for a short lived declaration. of martial law in december 2024. investigators say it amounted to fidelity train service in paris, so been disrupted, and after in fun, designated world war 2, mom was found near the gods in north station. one of your busiest eurostar trains between london and the french capital had been suspended,

leaving thousands of passengers struck the democratic republic of congo says it will not ruled out giving the us access to its best mineral wealth and return for security guarantees. the statement comes as the m 23 arm group, backed by. rwanda continues its advance and the eastern part of the new york city. the rebels of seas territory, including the main cities of goma and because of in recent months, the congolese government accuses the m. 23 in rwanda of stealing its natural resources and is urging other countries, including the us not to buy minerals from we want to use us getting us the new york, these ministers communications and media about reports that this country would consider allowing the us privileged access to its mineral wells in return for some form of security. nothing is back. if a most popular and we want to extract,

i'll mean are associated with americans. i think that's was the main idea for the president in here. actually we have chinese, we have japanese. we have a order or other country from i think from in general from caesar, and we are working with me on resources outcome. we cannot american, you know what is happening now, because one that keeps getting an order company working with one then side bring it in by the way. because those mean on the link it to me assessing that. sure enough, you know, some people link it to my central link it on those best things. what we've been doing is to pin on the process. that's one of the reason present companies doing as well because we stopped clean the process to keep going for under out. what is the portfolio for me? i assess, would it be possible to think of some kind of deal between video, see, and,

you know, states of america, where many rows, the united states will get access to many rows. and in return, there might be security guarantees or something and treat them. incoming training depend, doctor discussion between the 2 boxes. if they don't put it out in interest, there is that it shouldn't be of course discretion. one thing is key or in 0. so we need to, of course, to have security is security can come from some partnership with united states. it's not by or of more of this we're joined by chris john 0 nima. he's a non resident scholar in the carnegie africa program, and joins is from port louis maurice just now we just heard the d. r. c's minister of communications, talking about providing access to strategic minerals in exchange for security, possibly from the us. what are you hearing about the prospects for a deal? the prospect for discrete the long term process before getting to the the d o c proposal is coming. it meets the us, china competition over critical minerals. if,

if we look into the latest that load, these, that the government is hired in washington was been sent to them. tamaqua reviewing the policy makers in dc. you realize that it's really um, detailing into everything related to the saying the us competition about could you domino was. so the deal us is really trying to incentivize and to give you enough input as to the us government intervening to the all. see, because of the also, you can also do us what is to be looking for us to crate to camino is on one hand and smoking and containing 10 expensive audio to hand. so that's the idea behind a proposal. so how likely that's will happen. it's something us because it's going to not going to be been only to the us government, but screen to defend it. lots moved from the us, private sector and spend so far. yes, perfect citizen showing any strongly interest into investing dibiase under the current circumstances. now the m 23 rebels have seized the large portion of new york. they use mineral rich east,

displacing hundreds of thousands of people. the area has been subject to conflict for a long time. the un calls while the world's worst humanitarian crises. what kind of deal with the us mean for security in that region cost you to the deal for the deal, see from the logic on video. so you would mean the fact that you having access to the all secret you come in the rules instead devising us to build the may be military basis in did you all see every access to the region in the way that the, the, the us can put enough political pressure on run the just like they did in 22 in, in 2012 and 13 to redraw from the support from the m 23. and to redraw from the d. c as well. so for the region, it kind of this kind of deal if it comes to, if it's come to fruition, if it's, you mean, well implemented can, may be created conflicts where the united states becomes the one government assisting us to use the security against any enemies for an enemy is, i think,

and it is really mirroring what's we've seen an attempt that we see up and in between, you create a new united states, that's basically the blueprint that you'll see is looking in. so for the region, we're probably the derossi's screen, it indications minister in that interview said his country is seeking to diversify its partners. so tell us cushion, who are the new york sees current partners? a deal secret important as the main part is when you look into the mining sectors of china, china is basically the one having the strong hold onto into coal both and cofer in southern, in southern southern part of video seem to get the end of the region but also try a nice present in the supply chain of the middle east and the mean it might and coming from the eastern part of the deal. so in terms of final destination, when you look into quote on team costs, the, to the right coming out of the deals through the end destination is china. where does smith does that transform? so china is really a key element here in the supply chain of yours into d o c. but strangely enough to do, yes, it is an approach didn't

a put china into being playing the role of granting that security? because i do believe that they know that china doesn't interfere into politic and internal politics. so there's no much of incentive for china to intervene. so the idea nice to bring other part as maybe the us, as mentioned earlier, because of the us china attention given to us enough incentive to want to intervene to deal with the situation. so thank you very much for your insights that was posted on zillow nemo. of the carnegie for the program. thank you, derek. so for a 2nd consecutive ties space x is picking up the pieces after a launch ended an explosive fashion. the new starship spacecraft is designed to carry it on most startling satellites and orbit in far greater quantities than his existing fleet. successful, the new rocket could be worth billions in space cargo contracts. but before business can start booming,

the starship itself has to stop going through the debris from the space x. the ship streaked across the night sky above the bahamas rock is enthusiast who had gathered to watch the space croft lift off. sowards explodes just minutes late to a star shift appeared. right where it's supposed to be kind of rising up. initially it had this beautiful big jelly, they call it a jellyfish umbrella, where the sun reflects off the exhaust fumes and that really look normal. and then it may be got about 20 degrees above the horizon and, you know, turn into a huge ball of fire. video footage shows the a $123.00. me too long rocket to make an initial clean a cent from texas. the full of things started to go wrong.

and we just saw some engines go out. it looks like we are losing attitude control of the ship. getting video down from the ship. he gets a we've lost several engines and we've lost attitude control of the vehicle. this is the 2nd consecutive failure for the company space ship program. so for this yeah . in january, a spacecraft exploded over tax and k costs 8 minutes off to lift off in the social media post space acts as engineers say. they plan to learn from the latest failed mission, but this is a blow to own. the e mail must, i'm vicious rocket program. the starship spacecraft is designed to travel to the

main malls and beyond. most cars become a closed adviser to us president donald trump. he recently reminded congress of his own space ambitions. we are going to conquer the vast frontiers of science, said we're going to lead humanity into space and play of the american flag on the planet mars and even far beyond expos. so divide to don't if and when emission to miles will be viable. but as the space race heats up, conquering the red planet remains a key go. the number bolts living in the wild here in europe is estimated to have almost doubled up to the last decade to more than 20000. that scene is a success for conservation measures with was classified as strictly protected, but farmers have protested, angered by the killing of livestock. now a new european law comes into force that makes it easier for landowners to shoot

what's the use rosy bird shot? and nathan kind us have this report, a pack of wolves penetrating the value of national park in the netherlands. and the result in the light of day, we find only traces of them. so you can see, so we'll skip hair everywhere as he's eaten well, bar. this was an outside of bark. de, also a lot of wildlife. they attacked so also, so they at tech, some college park ranger, yackel bly. decker has watched wild life change since wills me to come back in the metal and several years ago, crossing from germany after the species was previously content out of existence. here in the 19th century, the 1st wolf came in in december of 2021. then we have pops, 5 pops in, 2022, and then it went on old move lots of boyfriends as killed by christmas 2022. so in one and a half year, 300. moving on stats,

a few point visitors have also had to close encounters, like the cyclist back in 2022. it's leading farm was furious and some locals worried. if it's getting more dark, then i am more cautious about that. i know the wolf is here and i teach my children to scream. the bark owners were among those asking to we can will strict protection status too long for some hunting. and they got their wish. last year, the european union pushed for international changes and come know, start the process of dying grading. you legal protections. but the decision has been slammed by environmental campaigners. they argue rules, which hasn't caused human dice here for decades. are important predators keeping herbivores and check on helping more plants flourish. activists also points to you . evidence showing most regional wolf populations still lack strong, long term survival prospect. it's definitely

a political move. there's no science behind it. what's reading worth? and this proven to be effective as non nissan methods, like electric fans and other what we called quick suspense measure. that really works in terms of stuffing the ethics like coding and shooting, even if it seems that for us, this is really an effective back in the netherlands. the possibility of shooting some rules in future is welcome here. though not all park visitors are in favor. i understand that the farm is set, a lot of troubles with it. but for me personally, a personal i, i love to move this into the plants to keep her distance and keep an eye out for these controversial creatures. sometimes because on camera and often caught up in political debate to you're watching dw news from berlin. just reminder the top story. we're following for you this hour for monitors, say dozens have been killed in clashes between syrian troops and forces loyal to ousted liter busch. our loss on the funding is concentrated in coastal cities in
