of the piece, it said that what is the ground level? the pressure on rasp in siri is in papa elect select the a region us over a dozen members of the country. security forces are reportedly killed and heavy trashes 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 that house because of the bombing. where will the cash come from? that's the question. immediately raised after you leader is agreed to run the ball . the blocks defend spend to the june of 800000000000 euro, with russian name,

the primary reason for the mazda of hike. not all member states, however, were on board with the new york race download from the store and policy chief confirmed side laws of the west. those repeatedly leveled russian propaganda by the president. trump use this as a for tract of 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 violent says, again, escalating and syria flushes between the new estimates, government forces, and government linked to the countries ice, the leader of erupt in the western city of job law, an area ethically, our white, the grouping to which bashar assad belongs of the h t. s. military of bombing,

the villages and suburbs of le 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. a warning the images coming out of that talk a are disturbing. a certain 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, both remnants of a science malicious are also hearing the serene army is sending additional units to let talk here. governance and a curfew has been declared across the area, telling us more about all of that. so our team is 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 appeared to us, showed the protested storming the gulf from the 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 an old yolande who is being re branded now as oh, shut uh, with his new head coach a new day accepted at by the west. but this new stable. this new for a new democratic sylvia appears to be nothing of the sort with these a big on to government protest now high power alshaun, they have moved the forces, the government forces into those areas to try and re take control. they've been opening fire on the protests, according to some local reports up to 30 high,

a ton of real sean minutes or so just 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 they're moving gates, the former soldiers associated with the government, a boss you lost out who was out of state in december. that to claiming that a typo on the remnants of those forces that happiness has been to groups covering us together cold. and so the syrian resistance have been taking part in some of these uh, ambush attacks. so the protest movement, the one that says, 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 flight, the country themselves are talking about. some of the risk seems happening that including kidnappings, but headings, people being burned out,

the villages burns out of the homes, actually 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 surveys that last the splits into areas under the controls of the gilani government. in the north, of course, the turkish back forth is 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 by 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 and as well head of the use of west asia focus thought that the cradle esteban cover you leaves up despite all the promises i'm western backing. the leader of h t. s. will not be able to bring unity to syria. this is 100 percent. the libyan

type scenario. what i, what is happening is here, it's very, very unlikely that that i'm extremely leader and the founder of data is likely to bring to end of updating. syria is likely to bring together a ride, the 6 that different sexy and see we have to bring the unit that he's problem is up in pollution. his. busy problem is diversity, and he's meetings with the german 4 administer and with the french part of me starting with the complicated or 5 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 law in certain areas. they 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 expanding this out in 30, looking to take control of most of the not, then what is exactly going to be left for is that i need to control the donald

trump special ukraine on boy has launched ikea blaming. there's a, let's be government for the recent pause in u. s. military support to the country. they brought it on joan c. print join me might not click when we were in the oval office last week on friday. or, you know, kind of give you the background a little bit, which is what we talk with presidents once getting for that meeting. there were 13 you a shout or said hey, ouch. and we said ok, this is like stage management. this is what you want to say space. we've got to come in. we have this is precious metals. you can assign a deal, you know, the sub lunch, every press conference that you stay dry. 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 to challenge the prism united states and the overall oversight. in fact, you need to side with me and not the russians call. we have hired quite

a lot of for rhetoric since the lensky is blogs or the white house in february. that was followed up by his expulsion from washington. was 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, which will include andre, your market, 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 wants a ceasefire as soon as possible in order to expedite it's rare are minerals and natural resources deal with ukraine. now take 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 disagreement and an initial ceasefire ceasefire as well. it is common consensus that in order for the conflict and key of is going to have to talk to moscow. but here's the thing, remind we need to point out that mr. zalinski has explicitly forbidden negotiations with a lot of them are putting the law he himself brought in. that's another thing that stands out from everything that was said by the a sole calls the collective west. and the recent years, the so called fresh thought, if you will, that's a continuing attempts to isolate and not communicate with russia is not really a viable strategy. think listen, there is also a broader strategy of 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 gauge with the russians as the war and ukraine continued. is no longer a viable or a sustainable strategy, pauses sullivan use you know, that russia had never ever said no to negotiations with ukraine. and on the contrary, zaleski himself had made it illegal for any thoughts were to be held with most of the goals. now that aside at 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 my crohn's, the latest statements. and that's something that was completely made up and the never even audited by the russian leadership. think of this go actually live, but let's see that we must choose for our sales version of peace that will suit us

. and that will ensure peace for our country in the 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, great is up a head and uh, at the moment you craze option seemed to be limited, but are now completely exposed to the rest of the world. no, 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 previous administration. some very clear from the beginning that president trump views this as a protracted stalemated conflict. and frankly, it's a proxy war between nuclear power as the 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 and 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 experience a moment of clarity and actually has missed that a. it is, in fact, a proxy war against russia led by the us. and this comes off to use of denial, especially in the media, because, you know, media outlets repeatedly called most goose thompson, the conflict of russian propaganda and the, the conflict and ukraine was actually unprovoked. and this was despite to his russia raising concerns about nato's expansion. easterwood, while most of the south 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 you try and kill russians for helping ukraine defend themselves. but now the new us administration,

the trump administration, is breaking away and actually a lining itself with the rush of stones. so the u. s. isn't meeting the a crate in conflict is a proxy war. but what about chance other backers? well, formal, british prime minister boris johnson also joined in despite his previous role in splitting, actually the play store tools that happens in march in 2022 and a stumble according to most gay johnson actually allegedly advised key of to keep fighting. and you know that, that hi me a, uh, then head of the ukrainians allegation east of what's known as to jones lot actually played an influential role in the process. but now boys still some seems to be seeing a compatriot differentiated. we are, may, let's face it, what waging your proxy will await 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 lateral statements, the russia is a war, not with the ukraine, but with the west. and the war means war. and you know, these he is here of has been repeating the mantra that russia is the aggressor. i think it's important to repeat some narrative. there is a neck restaurant and i never asked to crane is a victim. and russia is there a restaurant? we only need to be realistic about russia. russia poses a suspension of threats to our security today. the threat of war may not be imminent, but it is not impossible. not still in europe has been beating that drum about the russian threat for

a while now. and after 3 years of pomp like 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 war to continue us is actually pushing on so lensky a to negotiate with mockery of the i'll actually admitting that the landscape is reluctant to end the conflict. we asked you, credit is not to sabotage it when the vice president made the point that it's going to take diplomacy to get things like to solve, present zalinski. unfortunately, it 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, 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 pool was supposed to last until 3 of 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 to even you us administration is now actively debunking the narratives of the biden team had been pushing is very important. so the, the topic demonstration has a totally different take on those in mind. mining was part of this last media propagate that their spend the most bizarre on truth was told to the people. for example, earlier in the war, they said a lot we're, we're going to return,

we're rushing and we're waiting to get us well crush. coming through. we had all sorts of very prominent people, say groceries, nothing but but for wells and in the military and an army. well, of course, that was absurd. contract now with the rubio, as the secretary of state is saying this was a proxy was ready to go to us by nato gibbs doing again sports and it's accurate. it's something with all of us as known for long john 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 lost. jones was there and sold. so when ski new, we're talking about these get back to war. we've got

a lot of money riding on this. a lot of hedge funds, a lot of blo be bankers expected back a lot of money. we've got to keep this board one. and now the whole thing is unraveling, and now every body is starting to lift the rich uses. yeah, i wish we caught all these b you later so far, why, what i'm going to tell you when people subtract their be slipping, their, their cocktails and, and, and 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 brain and they don't care of february 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 europe and 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 block electricians will have to brainstorm how to pay for it. with an idea and using their own investment fund 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 welcome in our writer, internally as daniel, as are 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 bank will now shift towards the landing 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 to a very poorly. and there's a big question as to whether it can take dec. i don't think it can, but i think it was major and i cannot mix drains as

a result surrounding the issue. it's interesting to, as donald trump posts a bite at less, sending the killer stockpiles 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, well, big, i think nato is under a growing strain. the future of the alliance is, is more and more questionable, comments or advice that 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 else we so interesting at this emergency summit down the hungry at refuse to support it. 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 balder ration 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 defense and they're trying to go into a wall and off the, in a, in a race of philosophy and see where the places. but they can't do it for very long. 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 on these officials will arise and we'll see. busy more just sets concerning where all this is going, as much as it used and elite, so abuse donald trump, that see him uh, some sort of older. it seems as if his view on europe and other

parts of nato offering their defense span. that's something that he pushed for now they're doing it. months later. do you see a direct link there of 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 get the, it's a question the entire war effort, but there's no doubt that increased military spending is now on the agenda with all the attendance economic strains that will cause it will cause a to combine and living standards for your pin workers there will be great anger rate to send these, these policies will not be, have it not be popular. and i think that europeans will begin asking how they got into this fix. i mean, how did this war uh, erupt? what caused it?

what went into the calculations back in 2014. the answers will be very painful. it just finally exists on what is the world not a safer place with this news that the $800000000000.00 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 institute. busy of these 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 during this down north, our dining. those are live from new york city. thank you so much that will today. thank you. well, with the you console, helping not approve thoughts. massive spending hiked to come back, what they call the imminent russian fred. just 3 years ago, there was quite

a different picture with the chief of underlined claiming moscow was already on his knees. the russian military is taking ships from dishwashers and refrigerators to fix the military hardware because there are no send me come back to us anymore. russia's industry is in tetra. we um, your coach, mobilize close to 800000000000 euros of defense expenditures for 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 and gas

at come heard to aid to ukraine. we spoke with british historian on politics expert chuck, john laughlin, who sees 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 verified to create one some through a european. this is a power structure on no ton on the screen. federal european power structure, which is that sort of my coal 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 an alleged most 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 code. 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 news room, but our programs are just getting going see what showing where you are in moments and by the take a fresh look around his life kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by tell us to do vision with no real opinions. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills and is it just because it shows you fractured images?

present it is, but can you see through their illusion going underground can the there's a growing consensus that a deal is necessary to end the conflict in ukraine. this is progress. the problem is there is no consensus on what kind of deal that might be. trump demand to crane negotiate with russia. the europeans and zelinski talked the language of peace while supporting the

this is the moon, but he must say, lloyd gentlemen, got their own guy and got your district into the roof valley in the republic of k. yeah. and as we continue to talk about africa, one can never quite the, you know, the international dimensions given that there was, is in many ways of global feet age. the conversations that we uh, engaged in is so allies, the relationship between russia and the united states of america, and its implications to the world. and of course, in the cost of that discussion, we cannot help but also talk about africa in that scenario. because africa,

inescapably becomes very important at the ripples, the 3, not only of human resources, but specifically because of the natural resources that she has on the how badly. so whenever we talk about negotiation, we must always have that history at the back of one mind. and when they are full of the will, between russia and ukraine started, it must be seen in the context of the collapse of the soviet union during the presidency of president, governor shift. and during that period, we remember that in 1909 to with the collapse of the body in wall one can vividly remember that then set free of the united states of america saying india 1990. is that russia, which was now imagine from this.
