these are indeed the most important voting topics for people across the whole of the e. u vs here in the netherlands, have been doing lots of docs and the last few years, just 6 months ago, that was a national election. we saw the fall right party when the most seats for the 1st time in does history. i'm not sure expect it to be replicated again in this european parliament selections. in fact, the far right is expected to make gains across the u. the netherlands gets the t one seats in the european parliament. there is $720.00 in total for $27.00, e u member countries post to save the size of the elections. come make it complicated to protect. you could result one slice it is very difficult to bring together all the data from 27 member states into one projection to understand how the european parliament will look like. we will most likely on sunday and monday understand how the european parliament will look like in the future. until then we have to deal with about 15000 candidates, 600 different lists and individual candidates across europe, and about 200 to 10 parties tha

on reload and services as well as shipped to ship and ship to show transfers impulse going to the e. u. a still allowed. so what's been happening is that russian gas from siberia has been coming into the u. n to countries like france, belgium, spain, and the netherlands and navigates turned around and sent right over to places like turkey and china or elsewhere and southeast asia. the e u is now saying that can't happen anymore, but what is, is still entirely possible under these new rules. this for the russian l. n g to be dropped off in europe and stay there for a little while and maybe enjoy of that. i get. and a rose a, somewhere in a french cafe before deciding that it's no longer self with that defying as russian elegy, but rather european analogy and well that you can then make a profit from selling it to asia. i guess that's how they're going to stick it. to put in by marching up russian gas that they claim they want nothing to do with. it's kind of like drop shipping where someone buys the products on the cheap from an online wholesaler in asia like alibaba, for example, and t

right to send long range weapons to countries like the arcade in response to the west and holding the e u agrees this sanction rushes liquefied natural gas sector, but the block itself keep the important l n g from the country based on why asian economies in particular could suffer from the booth plus come to mass isn't ideas to mass is a policy it's received in the things we can live in a text message and around and leave with writing statement from the idea of stuff person seemingly come predicting prime minister netanyahu dislikes of rhetoric on tow k y thing. all right? the published an invalid input, the really delving into all about and plenty more. this or a welcome to the global use round up on our team. russia has no need to consider a pre emptive use of nuclear weapons. however, any such attack on the country will be met with a devastating response from moscow bounce according to president, put in speaking on thursday. after wrapping off his state visits to vietnam on north korea. a letter like we have still thinking about how nuclear doctrine could be changed. we know that the

the e u has a non fits 1st sanctions against russia's liquefied natural gas sector. and it's 14 package of restrictions against mil, scope the measures sick to stem, the resale of russian l. n. g imports by other countries on while that could mean harming some economies in asia. the european block itself is made sure it can keep buying russian gas years to take of our to contributor rachel morrison. all right, so here we go again, more anti russian sections that are so powerful that it was 14 rounds ago. now that cleaners, so a promise to bring russia to its knees. and european leaders brag about how every one could play along with the straight at home by taking short showers like the german economy minister, robert had back was bragging about france, present a menu. and mack, who was modeling turtlenecks tops during the winter time, encouraging people not to heat their homes. and of course in the summer time, not to cool then also they could ditch rush and gas for ukraine. well, it turns out that it was just another virtue signal, a performance to impress their girl

driven not by the what's good for the europeans living in the u, but by the political agenda of the e. u leadership in particular or so on the line. i'm the president of the u commission, who is it has of a fanatical russell phobia and he's driven by her agenda of mobilizing the e you against russia. that's all that it's about. it's not in any way about improving the lives of the radians all the mold opens. so that's why they doing it and how they get and the, the way they've been getting around with this agricultural products which as well, but just ignore the common agriculture policy which is that.

he sees the e. u is seeking to secure its own interest while ensuring others like india, where he's based are getting less you even though we have been one of the biggest thing for the while for a long time, during the period that they impose sanctions on russian loyalty. because one of the biggest export does, because the same you young countries where the buying that allows us generalize via india. so the more i showed that it was coming to india and getting a defined view it and then it was being sold it to you to be on countries. similarly, were never done this time is that they are ensuring that the most generally that option gas comes on. and the reason why we only prevent is that the option for you to be enforced cannot exported to slip with our country. so, you know, with they asked, ignoring themselves while ensuring that doesn't get home, which is very unfortunate and that's why i read through it that i don't think that the government's up in the sanctions didn't find somebody gotten his unc

in europe, that typically means fierce opposition to the e. u. they used to be in agreement, for example, about your benefits would be in the open union. and there was probably there's a question about that, the items you'd have free markets in the union. and you just have basically a variety of different standards as well that could be set and to be recognized within that. since the 2016 brags of both various far right parties in europe afflicted with n t e u positions. although some notice a softening, since the turbulence of the u. k is exit, or not all firewood parties, if you do mind, for example, the end of the european union. don't tell me, let me, for instance, pass the depth to had a job for which and this trying to change. do you union comb with the and seems to be much more mainstream then what was expected? and i made a payment in funds also have stepped away like against then leave the west making payment, leaving the you picking it. but it sort of again for you, you can get, get one party who is on t e u position has not softened, m

since the 2016 briggs of both various far right parties in europe afflicted with n t e u positions. although some notice a softening, since the turbulence of the u. k is exit or not all firewood parties. if you do mind, for example, the end of the year, can you tell me, let me for instance, past adaptive had a job for which and this trying to change. do you union comb with them and seems to be much more mainstream than what was expected? but i mean, the pen in funds also has stepped away, like against them, leave the ice, my can pay monthly, you're going to, you put unit, but it sort of again for you, you can get, get one party who's on t e u position has not softened to much is germany's alternative to you for deutschland or the f d. currently, the 2nd most popular party in the country going by opinion polls that party was founded in 2013, in response to the your as own crisis. understandably as fiercely your skeptic roots, which has held onto, was also developing a broader nationalistic, anti immigration philosophy. if they are still explicitly by the color, i think i'd have sort o

so the big headline with these new sanctions is that the e u is now apparently going to do something really new. and finally hit russian l n g. it may come as a surprise to some folks playing along at home that they weren't actually already doing that. in reality, they were wrapping up in ports of russian liquefied natural gas. jumping by 41 percent between 20212023. that's according to u energy regulator data, and maybe it will come as an even bigger surprise that well, they still really aren't going to be because russian, ellen g shipments of gas for use in europe still are not going to be impacted. what's new is that the ships that bring the rushing gas into european ports now just aren't allowed to transfer it to ships so they can leave for other countries. the package includes donald trump shipment of russian hill and g to 3rd countries via the e u, including a prohibition on reloading services as well as ship to ship and ship the shore transfers imports into the you are still allowed. so what's been happening is that russian gas for the siberia has been coming into the you into

and, uh, you know, the best thing it is to say, i want every single one of you, nato e. u members. the united nations here or the united states. here's one for you. france, here's one for you. germany, you are nazis ones. now you're not to use again. here's another one for you. i want you to have the stuff, toys, of the children that you murder the way from the regions. now review his announce it's imposing it 1st sanctions against the rafters liquefied natural gas industry. of the metro is part of the blogs for teams, packages, restrictions on moscow. and while that could end up having so many economies in asia, the european block is granting itself dispensation with hard take on the story here is archie, contribute to rachel mass that so the big headline with these new sanctions is that b e u is now apparently going to do something really new and finally hit russian l n g. it may come as a surprise to some folks playing along at home that they weren't actually already doing that. in reality, they were ramping up in ports of russian liquefied natural gas. jumping by 41 percent bet

the e u. is now saying that can't happen anymore, but what is still entirely possible under these new rules is for the russian l. n g to be dropped off in europe and stay there for a little while and maybe enjoy a by get and a rose a somewhere in a french cafe before deciding that it's no longer self with that defying as russian elegy, but rather european analogy and well that you can then make a profit from selling it to asia. why is that you even bothering putting on this or so anyway? because virtue signaling for crane is a whole lot less damaging, then actually carrying out the kind of self owning idiocy they displayed earlier on in this conflict. like when they said they do something that sounded suicide on like cutting themselves off of russian pipeline gas. and then they actually did it, and every day the repercussions of that are still felt as this industrial founder just explained this week, your semester federal kind of goes to everybody's leaving patch chemicals in your says, i've n

elections. opposition liter pace or matthew are, is promising to build better relations with other e u. member states to get the latest from the mariana evans, dean. it's good to have you with us. israel has rescued for hostages, a live from gauze of one woman, and 3 men were freed as armed forces carried out heavy airstrikes in gaza. among the 4 as relays is no, are the money. she and the others are in stable condition where they're being checked in the hospital. how mos kidnapped all 4 of them at the nova music festival during its terror attacks on october, 7th of last year. these really army gave more details of the rescue operation. this morning at 11 am, is really special forces conducted complex hosted rescue mission and successfully rescued for awhile hostages from come off to visit in garza to log the money out of mobile mails on slow means if and i'm drake was of they are back home in israel, they are alive, they are well, they will, under the will under go medical examination and will soon be re re united with their families in the hospital. the rescue of these really hostage

this is a contradiction here because the e. u is ready to open these negotiations for geo political reasons. it wants to express solidarity and support for ukraine. send a clear message to put in that we don't accept any notion of a russian sphere of influence, including ukraine. that said, the you is a community of, nor, and any country joining the you must be in a position to implement the north of the european union. and frankly, all the existing candidates, including ukraine, are still far away from that. so the same strength criteria should be applied to ukraine as to all the other candidates. there's no quick fix and i think all the use books, people have been clear about that to expect. certainly new members to slow down the process hungry, for example, is taken over the new council of presidency in july. and the government in budapest doesn't seem to be a huge fan of ukraine's accession. that's right. hungry is in favor of enlargement, with like minded conferences run by a liberal elites kind of just like step you, for ex

if israel launch is a full scale war with his group, he also said sign for us, an e. u. member would be a legitimate target in any future war. and it continues its military cooperation with israel statement followed. israel's announcement that it's military had approved a plan for an operation in southern lebanon to the latest strikes on lebanon is rule. and the militant group has boss, have been trading cross boulder, a tex almost dates, you know, they have taken steps for the potential for a full scale conflict. israel has approved what it calls up, irrational plans for an offense, if in lebanon we've made absolutely clear that one way or another diplomatically all through. uh, minutes remains uh, off of mold in bold. uh, the north of our country will, uh, is really silver and tara tree will be made safe for israel is population. israel's people to attend as well as lead to hoss on the thrall of responded by promising a fight with no risk. they have to wait for us on the ground in the and in the see we have said this before, and i would say this again today if the boss

but i think this is one area where the e u is very much resolved, as it is in have china approaches. it's friendship with russia when it comes to, to the war and ukraine. they feel that china is just giving too much support. it's not giving support in terms of direct support in terms of weapons and they've been reassurance. is that this won't happen from the chinese again. but at the same time, it's sort of tacit support is helping the war efforts against ukraine and that really angers the europeans. so i think that this is one area where we're going to see more and more pressure coming from new york inside. and something to which, at the, the chinese are going to have to weigh up whether they're prepared to keep trades expanding with your, a lot of the same time supporting russia, which is not as big a trading partner for them. so it's going to be an interesting few months to see how they balance this coming between the 2. the between china and europe, dw, the china analysts, clifford couldn't cover. thank you so much for all of your insights. it's all right now to the european foot

an eastern gemini success that came despite scandals involving the lead candidates for the e. u. elections a if the leaders had a clear message vinzini intent and we see a train here in germany. the opposite. the governing coalition has been punished. it is a vote against the chancellor, getting things from us now paved the way for new elections in vague for the no i have on file for more security while his government rolled out to new elections. the chancellor stayed notably, ever served about the outcome of either get this off the lecture. results were poor for all 3 governing parties. none of us should simply continue on with business, as usual is about what the policy change will look like. charles has yet to make clear and exciting revelation from scientists researching african elephants. they say the elephants appear to have names for each other. researchers say the elephants communicate using unique calls, low rumbles that can be heard across great distances that can be used to grab the attention of a specific elephant sign to say it's an ability only a few wild animals h

he's very critical of e u, a foreign policy, particularly on the ukraine. and he has been critical of what nato has been doing. he has still been a team player. so when push comes to shove, ts rate is supported, you, but let's say when he came to sending money to ukraine, he did not offer any resistance. i'm saying with the nato, he just said, okay, fine, if you want to help you crane, you know, help them. however, we, we, i'm not going to send any of off horses that we're not going to allow our territory to be used for transporting a weapon rate, the grades. so he is also have some resistance. but, you know, when, when the, you know, the, the crucial votes need to be made on the re, can be relied on to deliver the growth of those. but it could be gathering momentum because i put a to joyce that if trump picks up office in the oval office in november at ukraine is going to be looking nervously at that. and especially with the power of the republican told in the heis. then you've got this, if there is momentum in the european block with, with enough groups s

it's another e u country that's holding both european parliament and national elections. it is a 6 parliamentary election that bulgaria has seen in 3 years. this not vote was triggered by the collapse of the coalition government in march. let me go, so i'm sure a free for symbol gary is capital sophia, selling taking time's full bulgaria and buy guidance. given this political stalemate issue isn't just resolving over the past 3 years at a time. and by getting to actually one big government to focus on installation jobs or the lack of food energy bills. but what we have in place out cafe. so revolving to governments, then i'm not able to tackle under forms and cannot take those hard decisions. and that's left many bug get is really to question whether they can trust the political cost. they've come to see them as an app that they've come to see them as corrupt. and that's the issues i'm not going to be at as the whole. now for this snap election day, about 32 parties and coalitions ranging from from you far ride to russia and the contest things. but i have to tell you like

the e u is now saying that can't happen anymore, but what is still entirely possible under these new rules is for the russian l. n g to be dropped off in europe and stay there for a little while and maybe enjoy a bag yet. and a rose a, somewhere in a french cafe before deciding that it's no longer self with that defying as russian elegy, but rather european analogy and well that you can then make a profit from selling it to asia. i guess that's how they're going to stick it to put in by marching up russian gas that they claim they want nothing to do with. it's kind of like drop shipping where someone buys the products on the cheap from an online, wholesale or in asia like alibaba, for example. and then march the price way up and sells it in their online store as their own product and makes a profit on the margin on the arbitrage. so this would be what the, you could then do with russian gas, sure ships carrying russian fuel. you can still come here to the you, but you have to leave your russian fuel here. can't just transfer it offshore to another country so they could do a deal with
