on the fresh on rasp in siri as in papa looks like the a region as over a dozen members of the country. security forces are reportedly killed in heavy clashes with us boy list the h t s. military of bombing, the villages and suburbs of la takia, the suburbs of generally, reports are coming out that the people of 3 villages in that area by the airport, leaving the houses and the refugees. now they're leaving the house because of the bombing. where will the cash coming from? that's the question. immediately raised after you leader is agreed to run off the blocks the fence span to the june of an 800000000000 euro with russian name,

the primary reason for the mazda of hike, not all member states. however, were on board with the new arms race. donald trump, this foreign policy chief confirmed side laws of the width is repeatedly leveled russian propaganda by your trade president, trump views this as a protracted stalemated conflict. and frankly, it's a proxy war between the nuclear power as united states, helping ukraine and russia, and it needs to come to an end the for must go to the world. this is archie i'm you know, neil and you're welcome to the news rob to violent says again, escalating and syria flushes between the new estimates, governments, forces and government link to the countries ice. the leader of a rough did in the western city of job left an area, ethically, all of white, the grouping to which the charlotte side belongs, the h t s military of bombing,

the villages and suburbs of la takia, the suburbs of jibley. the muslim l white council has called for a massive protest tomorrow, a peaceful protest to condemn the attack on civilians and la whites reports that coming out that the people of 3 villages in that area by the airport are leaving the house is in a refugees. now they're leaving that house because of the bombing the clashes a very close to the airport. so i'm wondering the image is coming out of that hockey are disturbing. a syrian broadcaster is reporting the 13 members of syria security forces were killed when local army groups targeted their vehicles with explosive devices. the country state news agency has labeled the militants, quote, remnants of assad's militias were also hearing the serene army is sending additional units to let's talk. you have governance and a curfew has to be declared across the area, telling us more about all of that. so our tease now we're seeing these huge anti

government protests taking place in a number of governments in syria and hama, and the talk you and talk to us and talk to is the protests. we've seen the image is circulating across social media, which are paid to us shows the protested storming the government building that. now, of course, the situation has been like a tinderbox waiting to explode, that have been these big anti government protests the, the government, of course of i told her i was shy mother, it's need to have it l gilani who is being re branded now. as i would shut up with these new head coach a new to accepted at by the west, but this new stable this new for a new democratic syria appears to be a nothing of the sort with these a big anti government approach has now high power alshaun they have moved the forces, the government forces into those areas to try and read tight control. they've been opening fire on the protests, according to some local reports up to 30 high,

a ton of real shon militants, or soldiers have been killed during the protest. ease of loss, the pain in ambush attacks by groups according to cells. the syrian resistance, some cool, some heights are strong, but they say that moving a gates, the former soldiers associated with the government of basra side who was out of state in december that to claiming that that is tied to go on the remnants from those forces that happiness has been a group that's covering us together, cooling, so the syrian resistance, they've been taking part in some of these uh, ambush attacks. so the protest movement, the one that's still continuing. however, that has been some indication that the other white community all being targeted now this has been very much the case where the since december we've heard stories we've met. so some people, the flank, the country themselves, are talking about some of the risk of seems happening that including kidnappings.

but headings, people being burned out, the villages burns out of the homes, extra did judicial executions. and the persecution of minority communities, particularly targeting the lights and also the sheer community. so the situation is an incredibly volatile at this stage. and of course, there is that loss, the splits into areas under the control of, of the gilani government. in the north, of course, the turkish pac forces and in the northeast the, the cody forces which are back to cost by washington. so we're going to have to see how this one plays out, ready, but the western image of this free and democratic this new syria perhaps isn't as stable as we've been led to believe money pictures as well. head of news at west asia focus thought that the cradle esteban colorado leaves up despite all the promises on western barking. the leader of h t. s will not be able to bring unity to syria. this is 100 percent,

the leaving type scenario. what i, what is happening is here, it's very, very unlikely that, uh, that makes stream is leader and 1000 from the rock data is likely to bring the elf gate in syria is likely to bring together a ride. the 6 they the different sexy and see we have to bring the unit that he's promise up inclusion his. busy problem is diversity and he's meetings with a german 4. i mean he started with the french part of me starting with the complicated of western officials that travel to syria over recent months. but the reality that has not been the case, syria has been racked via by violence a, by a, a, you know, they, the position of chevy, yellow in certain areas, is simply what we're seeing is the expansion of the way that the farmers, yolande, was runing. indeed, leaving the north a west of syria for so long under 30 sponsorship spread to the rest of the areas of syria that he has on there. he's control, which is also a big question mark, right? because if you have israel continued the expanding into south and 13 looking to take control of most of the not,

then what is exactly going to be left for the learning to control the donald trump special ukraine and boy has launched. i'd keep blaming. there's a, let's be government for the recent pause and us military support to the country they brought on joan cheap range right. me might not click when we were in the oval office last week on friday. and i kind of give you the background a little bit, which is where we talked with presidents once getting for that meeting, there were 13, you a shot of her said hey, ouch. then we said ok, this is like stage management. this is what you want to say. it's basically gonna come in. we have this is precious metal. see all you're gonna sign the deal or you know, the sub lunch, every press conference that you said, right? can you good to go? we'll continue to go. what happened became a very combat of me who press conference. you don't negotiate police to discussions in public. you don't try the challenges present in united states and the over one percent. in fact, you need to start with being not the russians call. we have hired quite

a lot of for resurrection, says the lensky is blogs or the white house in february. that was followed up by his expulsion from washington with evidence at the moment. is that so washington is trying to push ukraine into negotiations by limiting its support to key of, according to media reports. marco rubio, c with call fans, and michael walls will travel to saudi arabia and she's a to meet with the ukranian delegation. but sure will include andre, your mark of who's the top official after the lensky in ukraine. this will be the 1st meeting between the 2 sides. it seems to meeting in the oval office. according to reports, the white house was a ceasefire. as soon as possible in order to expedite it's rare minerals and natural resources deal with ukraine now. so take a listen to this. we have now we're now in discussions to coordinate

a meeting with the ukrainians in re i'd or even potentially jetta. so other cities moving around a little bit, but it will be saudi arabia. and i think the idea is to get down a framework for a peace agreement and an initial cease 5 ceasefire as well. it is common consensus that in order for the conflict, the n t f is going to have to talk to moscow. but here's the thing. remind we need to point out that mr. zalinski has explicitly for bitten negotiations with the law the mirror put in the law he himself brought in. that's another thing that stands out from everything that was said by the sol calls the collective west and the recent years, a so called a fresh thought. if you will, that's it, continue me, attempts to isolate and not communicate with russia is not really a viable strategy. they can listen. there is also a broader strategy, a play in president trump's approach. this war that is informed by the realization

that the united states needs to reset relations with russia to continue to isolation. and lackland gauging with the russians as the war and ukraine continued, is no longer a viable or a sustainable strategy, closure sullivan use you know, that, or russia had never ever said no to negotiations with ukraine. and on the contrary, zalesky himself had made it illegal for any thoughts were to be held with most cold . now that a side in the moment says some of the european officials are now claiming that puts in is about to invade the entire continents. and they're ready for a new, clear defense. just listen to them. i crohn's, the latest statements. and that's something that was completely made up. and the never even ordered by the russian leadership taking this the only way. but let's

see that we must choose for our sales version of peace that will suit us and that will ensure the piece for our country is a long term historical perspective. we do not need anything that belongs to all of us, but we will not default what is ours. so another run of talks between the us and you crate is up ahead and uh, at the moment you craze option seemed to be limited, but are now completely exposed to the rest of the world. know in a moment that will have shocked many, the us secretary of state has openly admitted the ukraine. conflict is a proxy war between the us and russian fuel, by the previous administration. a very clear from the beginning that president trump, to use this as a protracted stalemated conflict. and frankly, it's a proxy war between nuclear power as united states helping ukraine and russia. and it needs to come to an end. and no one has any idea or any plan to bring it to an end, the plan of the ukrainians up to now and their allies on capitol hill. and the people

you talk to in other countries is, let's just keep giving them as much as they need for as long as it takes. that's not a strategy. you know, it took 3 years for washington to find that the experience of my month of clarity and actually has made that a, it is, in fact, the proxy war against russia led by the us. and this comes of to use of denial, especially in the media because, you know, media outlets repeatedly called most based on some, the conflict of russian propaganda. and the conflict and ukraine was actually unprovoked. and this was despite to his russia raising concerns about nato's expansion. easterwood, while moscow itself had to actually advocate for its own national security. but russia was silence and blames for this propaganda with 12 military officials in the west actually to 9, but any proxy were actually exists. so this really is a, a, a proxy war. you don't have boots on the ground, you're not making decisions which are helping ukraine kill russians for helping

ukraine defend themselves. but now the new us administration, the trump administration, is breaking away and actually aligning itself with the rush of stones. so the us is admitting the crate in conflict is a proxy war. but what about chance other backers? well, former british prime minister boris johnson. so joint and despite his previous role in splitting, actually the play store tools that happens in march in 2022 and a stumble according to moscow. johnson actually allegedly advised key of to keep fighting, and you do believe that hi me a uh then head of the ukrainian delegation is what's known as to jones flat, actually played an influential role in the process. but now boys still the same seems to be seeing a compatriot differentiated. we are now, let's face it what wage in your proxy will. but wait, your proxy will, but we're not giving a proxies. the ability to do the job and wet and for, for years and years now we've been allowing them to fight with one hand tied behind

their backs and it has been cruel. it is being cruel. and you know, this is the same bar as don't send them back in 2022 actually stated that there's no proxy war in response to loud real statements. the russia is a war notes with ukraine, but with the west and the war means war and, you know, movies he is here of has been repeating the mantra that russia is the aggressor. and i think it's important to repeat some narrative. there isn't that karesha and i were just, a grain is a victim and rush, she is there to restaurant. we only need to be realistic about russia. russia posey's ex, essential threats to our security today. the threat of war may not be imminent, but it is not impossible, but not still in europe has been beating that drama about the russian threat for

a while now and after 3 years of conflict, there does seem to be no letting app, but what effect has the us changing its approach to the conflict had if any, well, you know from the last few weeks and days the we've a seen washington stones on the conflict has indeed changed. and new wally, europe is still pushing for this will to continue us is actually pushing on. is the lensky a to negotiate with mockery bill actually admitting that the landscape is reluctant to end the contract. we asked to credit is not to sabotage it when the vice president made the point that it's got to take diplomacy to get things like to solve. present zalinski unfortunately made the decision to challenge the vice president and start questioning whether diplomacy is even possible. in essence sabotaging and undermining the president's plan, my understanding is poor and said he is willing to get into a negotiated settlement. is that your understanding? the answer was we are interested in talking about it. we now need to follow up. it's hard to follow up when the other side of the conflict is saying they're not

interested in peace at all. and that was the message that was coming across as a result of silence keys. a reluctance to negotiate washington has actually stopped . it's a to key of and most importantly they stopped the transfer of intelligence data. and this pause is supposed to last until to have changes. it's gone. so, you know, overall we all see a slide shift and the narrative that the west has stopped to since february 22, 22 to a former virginia state senator for the republican party dick black toner, t. the new us administration is now actively debunking the narratives of the biden team had been push, are very important. the. the topic demonstration has a totally different take on those in mind. buying was part of this biased media property that they spend the most bizarre on truth was told to the people. for example, earlier in the war there should a lot we're,

we're going to return. we're rushing and moving to the us will crush, coming through. we had all sorts of very prominent paper size washers, nothing but a but for a wells and, and it, and a military and an army. well, of course, that was absurd, contract now, but the rubio was the secretary of state is saying this was a proxy war wage by the us, by nato, against the against washington. it's accurate. it sounds like there's all of us has known for a long time. what, what is happening now is that the war is beginning to unwind. it's coming to an end . they tow united states or recognize that this more is, was jones was there and sold. so when ski you were talking about to get back to work, we've got

a lot of money variety on this. a lot of hedge funds, a lot of global diapers, expected back a lot of money. we gotta keep this board want. and now the whole thing is on rivalry, and now every body is starting to live. so rich uses. yeah, i wish we could put all these b you later so far. why? what i'm going to tell you, sweet people say that there be shipping their, their car, 2000 and then are walking around with shiny shoes of diamond rings. they don't give a rip about the people that they serve. they don't care about the brand is dental care of every brandy and they don't care every wash and god, you know, i, i have just have so little regard for these d. u leaders. a while with european nations flirting with recession due to storing energy cost. many other issues, the e. u has not pledge to spend an extra 800000000000 unresisting russia and

beefing up their defensive capabilities. the block bullet sessions will have to brainstorm how to pay for it with an idea and using their own investment bank being floated. the motion of the emergency summit was passed despite member of nation hungry, refusing to support. the european council stresses that europe must become more suffering more responsible for its own defense, and better equipped to act and deal autonomously with immediate and future challenges. and threats with a $360.00 degree approach calls on the commission to propose additional funding sources for defense at a u level, including by means of additional possibilities and incentives offered to old member states. coles on the board of governors of the european investment bank to urgently continue to adapt the best practices for lending to the defense industry. notably, by reevaluating the list of excluded activities, and by increasing the volume of available funding in the field of security and defense. well that's welcoming writer journal is donny lazara joining us

from new york. daniel, thanks for your time today on unprecedented levels of defense. spend pledge by the you. what's your immediate reaction to the news? well, the, my immediate reaction is that the europeans don't have any money for welfare or for health care, but they certainly have a lot of money for a waging war. it's a pretty amazing the reversal of priorities. how does it get paid for it? we're already hearing the european investment banks will not shift towards lending for defense purposes. that's that going to be a lot of the euro is being printed. is it a well thought i'd policy in your view? well, it certainly raises the debt levels ever higher to very dangerous levels. the european economies do a very poorly and there's a big question as to whether it can take debt. i don't think it can,

but i think it was a major uh, i cannot mix drains as a result surrounding the issue. it's interesting to, as donald trump posts a bite at lessening near killer stop piles with russia and china, you've got the french leader saying that we're going to both get off and we're going to protect europe. there's going to be some contrasting, there's within nato own that isn't. there certainly will big. i think nato is under a growing strain. the future of the alliance is uh, is more and more questionable content survive it. i think that nato nato is going and going the way of the worst. so a fact, i think that we're seeing a uh, a major change and in defense alignments, something has to be so interesting at this emergency summit down the hungry at refuse to support at the high st piece effort to write non ukraine should be the

priority. again, it appears though, as if opposing voices to the main street, there seemed more is a ball duration rather than a valid point made by a member state. it's, it raises all sorts of questions that he use democracy doesn't that as well that they're trying that the war party is trying to cheap out the sense and they're trying to get to the wall and off in a, in a race of philosophy and see where the places, but they can't do it very well. i mean that as the people of europe, but not to be very happy as their standards of living, declines due to the steps that was set up for spending. and i'm sure they keep these officials will arise and we'll see more and more just sets concerning where all this is going as much as it used and elite, so abuse donald trump, the see him,

us some sort of older. it seems as if his view on europe and other parts of nato offering their defense spend. that's something that he pushed for now they're doing it. months later, do you see a direct link there? oh, of course, of course i mean trumpets and pushing the europeans to spend more and they're finally responding. ironically, after truck status, essentially. uh, you know, call and use it. it's a question the entire war effort. but there's no doubt that increase military spending is now on the agenda. busy all the attendance, economic strains that will cause it will cause a fine and living standards for your p and workers. there will be great anger rate to send these. these policies will not be happy, not be popular. and i think that europeans will begin asking how they got into this

fix. i mean, how does this work erupt? what causes what went into the calculations back in 2014? the answers will be very painful. it just finally down here is the world now, a safer place with this news that the 800000000000 you're always going to be spend on beefing up european defensive? no, it's not. i'm, i'm quite convinced this. uh, that's the violence. the crane will only grow bigger. i think that the, the, the, the stabilisation instability is growing. i think this conflict white and i don't think we, uh, we're gonna, we're, we're answering to a very unsettled, very dangerous period. journalists on orthodontic, those are live from new york city. thank you so much that will today. thank you. well, with the you console helping now approved thoughts, massive spending hiked to come, but what they call the imminent russian fred. just 3 years ago, there was quite

a different picture with the year chief 1st level under line, claiming moscow was already on its knees. the russian military is taking ships from dishwashers and refrigerators to fix the military hardware because there are no semi contact us anymore. russia's industry is in tetra re um you could to mobilize close to 800000000000 euros of defense expenditures for a safe and resilient to europe. we will of course, continue working closely with our partners in a tool. this is a moment for you and we are ready to step up. well as your up scrambles to come up with more cash for a key of it has actually what i wrote, mike lee spent 3200000000 euro more on russian oil on gas

at compared to aid to ukraine. we spoke with british history and politics expert chuck, john laughlin, who stays europe's leadership continues, beating the war drum because it suits their political agenda as what they are doing is they using this crisis, which they all by the way, aggregate. so in order to build up, as you've said in your report, an 800000000000 euro from, for defense for the alms industry. and that by 2 creates one some through a european power structure and they'll tell numerous, rein federal european power structure. that's what my call once that's what he's wanted up as soon as he was elected. and that so basically what was left on the line once a tractor sees referring to is the threats of a, an alleged, or imagined russian invasion of, of the nato. europe itself, in other words,

beyond ukraine. and i think that's crazy on all kinds of levels and see what she is doing is the same as my cold. so that's simply using this for their own internal political ends. and we'll have to see if they succeed. i'd personally am skeptical that they will succeed, but i have little doubt now that they are going to try and that's where we sign off or not from the new user and but our programs are just getting going see what showing where you are in moments and by the, the, the, [000:00:00;00]

the the,

[000:00:00;00] the you mention all size the area might tons of the images for, unless far as far as the steps and of course, freezing temperatures. now, while you might have the wrong sort of any of those things today, we'll show you

a different side to side barrier. one way ancient traditions may cutting edge innovation the the fix here, this thing is most precious to smells like probably mobile device of who to the junior coupled ocean chest, the, to the switch to the, the machine you want to grow. and can you pick what i chose pressed on? could you tell them by somebody the, there's a newsletter to sign up for the to, to come out. i still do it as opposed to the dealership in the dark system. so she will probably underscore no point in
