well, defence stocks are up, gas prices are rising.rrowing costs on british and german government debt — have been surging on fears about the cost of all this military spending. a little earlier, i discussed that with thomas more, along with his take on what's driving up defence stocks so sharply. in terms of the move we are seeing — in terms of the move we are seeing this commitment by european politicians to spending so i do think that's important, that commitment in that sense of urgency that we are hearing from politicians that— are hearing from politicians that is— are hearing from politicians that is driving notjust the british— that is driving notjust the british aerospace but also lots of the — british aerospace but also lots of the european companies. gilt ields are of the european companies.

number one is national defence spending, and number two on national defence.pean more on defence. if you have a look at the baltic states, estonia, and they're talking to spend up to 5% in the very near future. to big european economies, italy and spain, the public and they're not even spending 2% of gdp, much to the frustration of eu members and nato members who are very close to russia. our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse is kyiv. he explained ukraine's next move mi” have a next move might be. have a listen. it's been a bruising few days. he is still hinting that he would still go guarantees he wants. in that even if he agreed, which is unlikely, at the moment, ukraine in this active war is trying to defend where it can. russian advances to enable it to keep surviving as a country. that is what has happened in years gone past. he is clearly under some this european summit we saw over the weekend, this is an exercise in trying to pull washington but ultimately, and there is a real concern here, each other, and you've got the entire entire of europe tha

as the prime minister knows, we welcomed the uplift in defence spending to 2.5% of gdp by 2027.pport the use of foreign aid to achieve this. we welcome a commitment to reach 3% in the years ahead, spending decisions, including on welfare, and we will return to the details of how the government will fund this in the near future. but for now, it is right that the prime minister is working with allies in europe and with the united states to bring peace to ukraine and not a surrender to russia. as part of this, the prime minister has suggested that british troops could be deployed in ukraine. for what such a deployment could look like, and we are keen to work with the government, but we will need details of any such plan. this will be a difficult but significant step. i know that many in parliament and across our country will be interested in what this entails, and i ask him to work with us so there can be effective scrutiny. i also welcome the coalition of the willing to support ukraine and agree that europe must do the heavy lifting. in the last few minutes there's been a statemen

defence is something that the germans will have to invest in heavily. at a time where president trump has completely rewritten the accepted norms, the relationship between america and europe. and mr merz, it's got to be said, he's an atlanticist. he really loves america. he loves the united states. he's talked about visiting the country more than 100 times, and some of the language that mr merz was using in the hours after the polls closed were quite extraordinary. he said that the interference from washington, as he put it, was as drastic and as outrageous as moscow's. i watched with great interest when you were reporting on election night from the alternative fur deutschland headquarters. tell me, what are they as a party? girls still can't go to school? no. there are thousands of religious madrassas. they have filled the gap. i visited a couple of madrassas as well, and for me, it was unprecedented. i had never seen anything like it before. women... ..believing that they should be in the service of men. and the stuff they are taught in these madrassa

we saw today, this £2.26 billion loan are being offered to ukraine that would bolster defence and youned there are some kind of vague promises by leaders like france's emmanuel macron, so do you think look ahead to tomorrow and other european allies offer any material and concrete support to ukraine's war effort? i have been watching very carefully. i have no doubt we will be seeing material support. i also expected at least two, three countries to step up and also offer some troops. sorry to interrupt. do you think these would troops on the ground in ukraine? i think what macron and starmer have been talking about on troops on the ground in ukraine not on the front line but even what they propose is a clear step forward and it is something that should be welcomed. it is also true, i think, that it is important that mr starmer and his government are encouraging mr zelensky out to you zelensky to fix that spat which needs to be fixed for the interest of the united states, ukraine and europe. are these sorts of offerings from europe enough to replace the us�*s support, we have heard som

and what of the north atlantic defence alliance, nato, america for so long? at its heart, but now with an unpredictable president? i think it was a good meeting. it was a very good meeting because what you see is european countries stepping up, first of all, to make sure that ukraine has got would be struck. obviously, there is no deal yet. there is no ceasefire yet, but we have to prepare for that moment. those willing will intensify planning now with real urgency. europe must do the heavy lifting, but to support peace in our continent and to succeed, this effort must have strong us backing. in norfork, meeting the king. ukraine's future is the continents todayis today is a big among future, today is a big day among many big days europe an era of many big days europe in an era of war donald trump. sat down with journalists before returning to ukraine. laura kuenssberg was there and sent this report. bitter years of war. but after two days of turmoil tonight, speaking in his own then for 11 hours i flew because the president you're gambling with the lives of

for europe — of course, we saw a very big show of strength on sunday of uk export finance to buy defence at france and germany, they havejust had emergency elections because they cannot agree this is a tricky time for europe. but if america are not going to be doing that, so i'm afraid it looks for a moment a really very difficult situation indeed, unless the ukrainians can when will be more fighting going on so it will be to achieve that. justin from and ethereum have seen double—digit gains over the past 2a hours, digital assets he expects to be included in a new us according to cryptocurrency data firm coingecko, announcement on sunday. explained why many crypto investors will be relieved by the news. so far this year. you've had the failure of the trump and melania meme $libra — did the same, and there was a major ethereum theft from a dubai—based firm of more than $1 so this news from president trump following through from according to cryptocurrency data firm coingecko, the total cryptocurrency market has risen around 10% — that's some $300 billion — since trump's announcement on s

earlier i spoke to sir malcolm rifkind, the former uk foreign and defence secretary.action was to what he saw in the white house. well, like everybody else, i was appalled by it. it should never have been allowed to happen. and i don't know why the white house decided to have a press conference before, when it was likely was totally unnecessary and very, very provocative. and given that is your sense that there was some strategy here going into this, some kind of bargaining position opening up? what was the thinking? you destroy in order to rebuild and to warn your opponent that he has to make more concessions. so that's a possibility. but i'm not saying i'm convinced that was what happened. an explosive personality and zelenskyy was under intense pressure. but i think there's one point i really want to make. i think it's a very important point. yes, zelenskyy has got a huge amount to lose if he doesn't rebuild his relationship with trump, but so does president trump. because president trump's whole basis of his current position that will end this war. that's what he'

justin crump is a defence, intelligence and security expert with 20 years' service with the british militaryelligence firm sibylline. he gave us his assessment on what's been happening. i think zelensky�*s stance helped... the more imperative is clear. we saw the aggressor was in a conflict. it was russia. light to european leaders in the run—up to invasion three years ago and zelensky took a stand, what he might hope to sell at the start, when he said i need to out of her, i need ammunition. i think that had a lot of widespread animation. ukraine has fought under excellence or threat. it has survived as far as it had with help from allies. i think ukraine that it might help ukraine got was out of respect and i think it is very effective. what we are saying now is more transactional driven era of relations. of course, that is a stance that is probably unacceptable to ukraine when they see russia being cosied up to and offered everything at once and ukraine is being told he must accept all these terms and treated like the aggressor not the victim, it is a very hard thing to bear. not the vict

you know, europe needs to step up more. that the uk defence spending was going to go up to 2.5%, go up to 4% or 5%." the goalposts, i guess. but it's interesting in terms of this approach that how they come to those meetings and what they say, and just really careful measuring of the language. themselves before one of them comes to talk to donald trump you know, you've got these calls. there were a bunch of calls before the prime i think that's very interesting. it's, you know, like a team effort almost to see, "well, how should we approach this problem?" you know, we need him, we need an american role in the security guarantees supporting this notional peace deal between ukraine and russia. you know? "ok, well, i'll make this point to him..." the job and agreed on a tone and a message to use at 1600 pennsylvania. i think that's very interesting. i mean, we were told as well there are many calls and for sure starmer and macron spoke. i think starmer said he'd spoken to 13 leaders starmer will most definitely be speaking to zelensky and then they all regroup back in london on sunday int

on friday. european leaders agreed to increase their military budgets and boost ukraine's defences with economic and military aid. zelinski spoke about the future of us ukraine relations. after that summit in london, he says keith is ready to sign a weapons for minerals deal with washington despite the spot with trump, where he pushed for a security guarantee. not shaven most a little by thinks that all relationship will continues. and just because this is more than a relationship and one moment we need to be open, ukraine is not the largest country and the wealthy. however, everyone can see how you crane is fighting for its independence and freedom. and we are grateful to the people of the united states as a u. s. aircraft carrier has docked in south korea days after north korea tested cruise missiles. the south korean navy says the arrival of the vessel is a display of military partnerships aimed at countering north korean threats in the past. feeling yang has viewed such military deployments as provocative and responded with miss l. tests. doctor's treating. pope frances say his cond

justin crump is a defence, intelligence and security expert with 20 years' service with the british militaryf private intelligence firm sibylline. i spoke to him earlier about the current tensions between the us and ukraine i think zelensky�*s stands helped rally europe at a i think zelensky�*s stands he divided y europe at a i think zelensky�*s stands he divided in europe at a i think zelensky�*s stands he divided in supportta be divided in support for ukraine. because a moral imperative was clear. we saw who the aggressor was in the conflict, it was russia. they lied to european leaders in the run—up to the invasion three years ago. zelensky took a stand and what seemed like a hopeless stand, i think that one pretty widespread admiration. and it was a genuine stance. they are fought under existential threat, and survived as far as it has with help from allies and i think the help ukraine got was out tough about vladimir putin. and then putin invaded ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country. the path to peace and the path to prosperity is maybe engaging in diplomacy. we trie

on friday, european leaders agreed to increase their military budgets and boost ukraine's defences. with economic and military aid. doctor's treating, pope frances say, his condition remain stable and that he remains awesome. mechanical ventilator, the head of the roman catholic church, suffer breathing complications in hospital on friday. people have gathered to pray outside the hospital in rome, where he's being treated the 97th academy awards, also known as the oscar sar underway here and coke in was among the 1st winners. he received an oscar for best supporting actor for his work in the film, a real pain. and the lot being film flow has one in the best animated feature category. those are the headlines or a reminder you can keep up to date with all the news on our website, al jazeera dot com. now back to elgin 0 world the the dentist i have a copy of that to the quad. every day they get me is that out and i take part in the too much seller through them. the deed is nearby of the month, itemizing i converted out the budget that is in prison and will be able facilities that was u

after that crucial defence summit with european leaders in london, sir keir starmer has given some detailsdeal is struck with russia. he confirmed that the uk and france would lead what he called a "coalition of the willing" to defend ukraine, which he said "a number" of allies had signed up to. but he said some kind of us involement would be needed. he also announced a £1.6 billion deal to provide but where he is likely to be questioned by mps is in the detail of this coalition of the willing that he talked about yesterday at the international summit. how many countries have signed up, what is likely to contribute and what would a peace deal look like. today we had basically cold water being poured all over a french suggestion that there could be there zelensky last week, and that there is now people who are willing to move it pays to come up with the kind of contribution they would make in the event the truth is the us wants europe to do the heavy lifting but donald trump wants an end to the war, a quick end to the war no matter what. and vice president shady bands is expected on fox new

he wants our national defence budget come up with an agreement on national security. and we're worried that he is going to include taiwan in some deal. there is a notion he has a grand bargain almost like a g 2 approach, how does that change your calculation or does it? is this something that you see as inevitable thing that the u.s. companies need to pull out or can the whole dynamic change of president trump up end the trajectory from trump to biden .. >> i think it's important to assess the trump administration to distinguish between the twitter track and the policy track. there will be at any point in time a wide range of conflicting it spur of the moment comments made on social media. these are a poor predictor of what the trump policy is over the medium to long term. in the first term it was and i think in the second term it will be as well. i think you do a lot better if you do look one layer under that at what is actually sort of motivating the concerns and also, in particular, what sort of people are being put in place to actually try to execute on various fa
