in fact, for the k to the e, u, and the united states. so, and you see as the most valuable and cooperative cost me was the whole region. but the military that took place and struck jane 2023 chased all of that, especially with the new forces we kicked out of the region. so this re quote of the key you invested as follows, months of strange diplomatic efforts, improving frustration on the east side over what the pool disease, lack of progress towards democratic restoration. what do you mean best use to spending is hundreds of millions of development age packages. to initiate straight off of the cool stopping military training programs on the it's a whole mission which was aimed at combat to, to resume the e u. which as well as saying. ringback not to recognize submitted to need is often these days and wonder what the motive was behind the so called 8, but the e. u was not one to initiate. so not to is one to add. you has also made it clear that it is not interested in relations with the european with ms as well. so this move really unders

so this re quote of the e. u. invested funded was months of strange diplomatic efforts, improving frustration on the east side over what the pool disease, lack of progress towards democratic restoration. what do you mean? best use to spending is hundreds of millions of development age packages to initiate, straight off the cool stopping military training programs on the it's the whole mission which was aimed at come back to terrorism. the you went as far as saying it was not to recognize, submitted to need is often these days and you wonder what the motive was behind the so called 8, but the e. u was not once it's in the shape so not to is wanted and you has also made it clear that it is not interested in relations with the european with ms as well. so this move really underscores the challenges of the use different magic engagement in this hall as you government and lead, as i said, to the independence and resist wisdom precious to the middle east. now where the lebanese capital has come under yet another barrel

now in order to solve the financial management process has been requested even though the e. u has rejected these claim saying that these claims are h college to it's too many children. if it's not, these funds would have supported flooding that affected full reaches. me see, we have dreams and esteem flies, west. we have destroyed buildings, bridges, and go with more than city 100 people have been killed, and children faced the risk off of water for diseases and electrocution from exposed. why is the official government figures shows that more than 85000 households have been affected? over a 1000000 people displaced and dozens of schools have been damaged. and again, the j government sees the did not off for international humanitarian aid for flat victims of state. it's wanted to reduce the damage to the sources, which is not even shocking considering all nations in this. the whole region has distance themselves from wisdom ad lives. in fact, for the k to the e, u and the united states, sonia z as the most valuable and cooperative pos name to solve each and. but the military t

fossil fuel lobby groups are the american petroleum institute, or in the us and fuels. europe in the e. u. companies like show the impacts on mobile, a part of what we are looking at industries agency, dpi is $600.00 vendors. you can look at basic the strategy of, of the $600.00 companies by the way, just looking at what industry association that's tom whole. and he works for think tank influenced maps. the company on a license of business and finance. in fact, the climate crisis, industry associations all are heavily engaged because you've actually that profiles . so they really getting involved in a variety of different strands of climate policy. so greenhouse gas reduction targets on the transitions of renewable energy target. according to influence map companies like show and chevron pay up to $12000000.00 a year or 2 holds membership at the a b i membership it fuels. europe is significantly cheaper but still more than $2000000.00 annually. so what's the bank for the buck here? lobby groups of air, time and important places in front of decision makers. for example, the new parliament

even though the e. u has rejected these claim saying that these claims are a challenge to it's too many to even if it's not these funds would have supported flooding that affected all regions in the z. we have your readings and explain slides washed away houses, and destroyed buildings, bridges, and built with more than 300 people have been killed, and children face the risk off of water for diseases and electrocution from exposed . why is the official government? a figures shows that more than 85000 households has been affected. over a 1000000 people displaced and dozens of schools has been damaged. and again, the j. a government sees it does not us for international humanitarian aid for floods, victims. instead, it's wanted to reduce the damage of the sources, which is not even shocking considering how nations in this, the whole region has distance themselves from wisdom. add lots. in fact, for a day to the e. u and the united states, sonia z, as the most valuable and cooperative cost me this, the whole

however, under the re power e u strategy, this will change in the coming years, the e u. n. 33 energy infrastructure operators plan to re purpose sections of existing natural gas pipelines and to build new connections, overland, and underwater. this will primarily supply central in southern europe with renewable energy from northern europe. must stay in the mac jones of norm denmark and norway have a lot of hydro power among other resources. these can be directly harness to support the hydrogen infrastructure. when this comes off to bonus and their new energy producing countries, germany doesn't have that. so our approach is different. this has to have the guns and then the obviously in further ratio, some final permits are still pending. and a few more hurdles remain. our ambition and strategy i'm place on the business level for the trend into production of green item is more expensive than production of gray height. and so the subsidy schemes and the certificates and schemes that needs to be in place to make it attractive for my customers. to buy green items in frankfur

it will be the e u, that opposes opening the board is especially come in. it's not that we won't let you out. it's that they won't let you in the format. so the secretary of the embassy of ukraine in the us on the way to the shank coast as the number of casualties fall higher than what's being reported. surprise, surprise, i will listen. the, the official figures are much, much greater than the ones that are published in the conners. i think that is why they're publishing them to try to undermine the real numbers that are out there. because if he turn key, craig, just see those everything graveyards. that's, that's just a, it's much, much more than 800000 or 200000 degrees and. ready just at what from my information and speaking to anita officials, they understand they know that the number that we claims it's a 1000000 disagreeing soldiers that's lost. and 2nd of all, how long will be pretty, pretty close weight and how long will they have to tolerate what has happened to them are those legal. ready actually people, so down the street, the man and woman, so

the lo do me is a lensky told e. u low make is not to be fearful of doing more to end the conflict every day. the best moment to push fresh out hot up. it is clear without such a dfcs as rationally will elect real motivation to engage in meaningful negotiations is rising for a defense meeting also in brussels, nato secretary general mont ruetta said ukraine would need more support to prevail over russia. today. marks a 1000 days off to russian on slopes on profile to original. i'm small to home, you free. so today we will discuss how we can help you frame to prevail. that means more age, more money, and we have to make it available to them, particularly now that the north koreans have come on board. with that is not the only leader to re god most goes addition of thousands of north korean troops to come by to operate sions against ukraine. as a major publication, it may also influence washington's decision to allow teeth to deployed attack comes . now, washington's move has prompted russia to update you few weapons pol

well, i think the same principle is being applied over year p n e u government's and b, p u bureaucracy. they're answering to someone else. they're answering to these people do these interests, which most people don't know about. instead of answering to those whom they're supposed to, sir, and that's the main problem. so i would say it's a big democracy. that's a set that's turning slowly to a economic and humanitarian disaster. yeah, it's interesting, you know, i was on the brussels as pressure or pressure, so be hungry. i'm still back here to stop buying gas from musket. meanwhile, some country supposed to explain how well the, the motors, watch it as a d y. is there a sort of this double standard from brussels? you know, the, i mean, that's par for the course. you know, i. e, we've heard, you know, the european for, and the upstairs dimension of joseph around, you know, keith said that you use like the jumbo. i mean, everything outside of you is a jungle and the you itself is a garden and you know it's not the same standards. the jungle is something that needs to be civilized while t

moving out, i see 5 on finally the e. u has expanded its sanctions against it wrong this time on allocations that it has provided minute treat support to russia. the council today decided to widen the scope of the you framework for restrictive measures in view of a ron's military support of rushes, war of aggression against ukraine, and 2 armed groups and entities in the middle east and the red sea region. this additional measure is targeted to the use of vessels and ports for the transfer of iranian made the unmanned aerial vehicles, missiles, and related technologies and components. it looks like b, u has wrapped up it's worries about ending the conflict in ukraine. and the only thing left on its agenda is slapping more sanctions on juan based on claims that even ukraine has doubted. of course, uh the new sanctions. now i include a ban on exporting components used in missile and you, a redevelopment from the you to iran. they've also put his comp on a 2 transactions involving ports, link to individuals or entities on the

and to lobbying fossil fuel companies have been able to deliver this solution to the e u. n. g o c. one subject that is recurring often is the use of hydrogen and carbon capture and storage. and that's specifically for the lovely me, things that will help either with the fossil fuel companies or with that network. now this is sort of a solution to currencies quite debated by the science community, whether it's really effective or not. but we do see some results because we sold that in the new guidelines of the new european commission and it is future and quite put them in permanently. the e u and its institutions are often criticized for not being transparent enough in declaring lobbying activities a report by fossil free politics, analyzing the european commissions meetings, showed that fossil fuel lobbyist met with you. commissioner ursula funded lions team 900 times in the last 4 and a half years. that's nearly one meeting every working day. and according to transparency international, dis trevino's the abstract power of fossil fuel companies and their networks wheeled over at ea

that germany has a favorable approach to the free market and it sounds like you're saying that the e u is becoming increasingly centrally planned. does this mean that the solution is more or less of the because this internal market requires an excess of cooperation? uh uh, i think we need, uh, not more or less you, but the right type of you, i think the, you does have some approaches to, for instance, the environmental policy to find a plan of policy which are very effective. uh like c o 2 pricing. the, the, the, the plan is out there now to extend the c o $2.00 pricing to the building sector, and traffic. that's exactly right. what we need to get rid of is this over regulation. and this plan, the economy approach, like in the uh, techs on me for instance, defining sectors that are supposed to be sustainable and other sectors that i'm not supposed to be sustainable. that's for instance, has left to us defining the defense sector as unsustainable. and that now how it's becky or ability to, to defend itself. so it's a totally misguided approach to try and define politically which sectors

small island and less least developed nations have rejected an offer with $300000000000.00 from the e u. and of the wealthy nations to deal with extreme weather caused by climate change . they say they need more than double that amount. and their proposals have been ignored on the comp $29.00 summit, but we're seeing a live pictures from the events experts that estimate that climate vulnerable countries need more than a trillion dollars a year to mitigate the impacts of global warming consideration. let's be now to need a new climate report to team schellenberg who is that the talks in backlit. tim, what's the latest the fall? the latest is that there is a deadlock which is concerning, not only the least developed countries and the islands said small island states which have left the, the negotiation room a couple of hours ago. also other major developing countries and also industrialized countries are concerned because what we're seeing here is that we're seeing not enough. we do not see negotiations at the moment since that party is have less than a go see ation rooms. there was actua

k said most goes, escalating hybrid activities against nato and e. u. countries are unprecedented in their variety and scale, creating a significant security risk. this comes just one day after similar under seas cable between sweet, unless the way any it was damaged. that cut lithuania is internet capacity by one 3rd. similar incidents in africa have caused internet blackouts in the past. there are many more such cables in the seas around europe. authorities in the region are on high alert. and we can take a look now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. spanner, superstar raphael nogales has been as tearful farewell to the tennis circuits. the $22.00 time grand slam winter retired after losing and spain davis cup series against another. and there were more than 2 decades. the 38 year old, also 114 french open titles and 2 on fixed metals. iran studios, sri says it has not issued an indictment against a young woman taken into custody after she stripped to her underwear and the university campus impair. on active is said s

and let's head to e. u foreign ministers. he's sides serious concerns about possible breaches of international humanitarian law in gaza. your top diplomat argues israel has not sufficiently address these concerns. a suspension would need. the approval from o. u. member states for ministers are expected to discuss the proposal at that meeting on monday. it's the last one, brown chairs before ending is 5 year term. as a process correspondent rosie budget told me more about barrels initiative. well, the context here is the european union. israel have a written agreement which governs their relationship girlfriends, their trade ties, but also their political relations. what use that bro is suggesting is that part of that is suspended in general european union statements on israel's actions in gaza after those october 7th. come off. attacks. often ask the israel respect, international humanitarian law in the strip, or say, israel must respect international humanitarian law. and what burrell is asking is, but a member of states go b

so the head here on the program protests he top in georgia, the pro e u demonstration. outside the country's teenage miners and management. just use the south african goldmine saying they were denied food and beat the in depth analysis of the days headlines. what are we supposed to read painting through the use of basically you miss all by russian informed opinions. finally, after over a year of genocide, the i c. c has come to this decision, critical, the bank to the difference between china and most of the rest of the world is a china plans long term inside story do conferences and meetings like cop $29.00 and others make a difference on out as the era a full year of war in gaza and now it is really troops invading lebanon. are the us in israel working to reshape the entire region. now with trump back in the white house, what can america expect? and what can the world expand? so quickly to look at us politics, the bottom line here is from, i'll just say on the go and meet tonight out is there is only mobile app. is that the, this is where we just fix allies from out i

on joining the e. u. dozens of interest in a group of george diplomats of sign and open letter, criticizing that decision, saying it did not reflect the will of the people and that's all for now. coming up next. and our documentary, we meet a budding thing, are fighting for justice after an attempt on her life. nicole really from all of us here in berlin, thank you so much for your company. and joining us again at the top of the we are all set and we are watching to see all the to bring you the story behind the new wheel on about com, biased information for free might say due to me in the .

k said, most goes escalating hybrid activities against nato and e. u countries are unprecedented and their variety in scale creating a significant security risk. this comes just one day after a similar under seas cable between sweet and less when it was damaged. that cut lithuania is internet capacity by one 3rd. similar incidents in africa have caused internet blackouts in the past. there are many more such cables in the seas around europe. authorities in the region are on high alert. a lawyer we spoke with elizabeth bra, she's a security analyst at the atlantic council. this specializes in hybrid threats. we asked her if she thinks the cable was sabotaged and why questions are being raised by the presence of a chinese flag bustle in the baltic. it certainly seems like it, so it had been just this case, one could have said, oh, it was a chinese flag vessel that the boss of reading those navigation on charts properly . it didn't see where the cables were located. bus last year. we had a similar incidents also involving a chinese flagged vessel as that

it's probably not a e. u. member states tend to be extremely divided on this issue. it needs unanimous support and in general, wonderful not said to me, look if they can't even get agreement on a basic statement language that is highly unlikely. they agree to such a bigger step and the divisions tend to be along some these lines. so me, you member states including for example, ireland and spain would like to go even further than barrels proposal. they would like to suspend some trade to parts of a trade agreement with israel or the u. member states like hungry and check here, for example, tend to be much still on for and their support believe they would talk about israel's right to defend itself. germany more broadly just to note, says it has in the past said that it political communication should be kept open with israel. so it looks like this is not something which will necessarily go anywhere quickly. and it's worth noting also, i mean there are 2 sites in this conflict. you might be wondering about how possible that you consider is from us as a terrorist organiza

the e u leaders had hope to inflict damage upon russia, but it didn't go as being tended the. they are crazy criminals to promote positions that harm the people of europe. they are leading europe a drift. they are bringing it towards an increasingly failing situation. worse than europe's economies. i don't believe that the e u has any serious labs to develop the european economy as a sanction. so russia can seen it to cause damage to europe. in particular, in be increasingly struggling in energy sector. as we have seen from the very beginning, with shortages and prizes shooting back up to very high levels during the winter period. because there also leads you to not care about the interest of the people of the nations. they're simply warmongers. global is, have pushed for war with moscow. russia is increasingly becoming economically stronger. it is natural for the european economy to reopen to russia in the future with old economic and commercial interest that country exist and must activated the fullest, easily. russia beller was an old country. so if you raise you are intere

now, it seems to me that the people of georgia have said no to nato and the e u. o. mr. mit mit together. i'm like confused, and also some, it goes up measuring the thing is, i believe, attitudes towards the e. u and new to have changed in georgia, nato was a military block. the e u is quite far away, not to mention the united states, but russia is right next door. we're historical neighbors. we share the same faith and histories. we've helped georgians many times throughout our shared past. yes, there was this incident, but the responsibility lies specifically with president soft. gosh, really no one else. and by the way, recently the georgia leadership has essentially acknowledged that it's time to reassess those events and recognize the role play by for an influence. richard. so i don't know, maybe some people in georgia want to be in the you, that's fine, somewhat natal membership, which was offered back in 20 o 8. but as they look around and observe what's happening in the ukraine, a significant portion of people understand the real price of such a membership is

the boat closures were initially demanded not by the landscape, but by the e. u. and the us who understood that after a brief euphoria, the issue of forced mobilization would arise if you don't believe it. look at how actively they are equipping border security units. the e u needs foot tall ukranian women, and children valuable assets for the black labor market and demographics, men and needed in limited numbers. so they do not interfere with the assimilation of women or create families, a diaspora, therefore, off to the will. it will be the e you that opposes opening the board is especially for men. it's not that we won't let you out. it's that they won't let you in but that's got more and there's no cost live to. andre tele, shanker is the form of food secretary b and the c o. b crane in the u. s. thank you very much for joining us here. these are to, to meet striking figures from the economist talking of a numbers of dead military personnel of up 280-0004 the food, the full 100000 injured to the point where they wouldn't be able to be re deployed . but it's ve

some people were seen waving e u and even ukrainian flags. the countries were willing georgia dream policy, $0.15 and all types of support was meeting a counselor in power without having school in the coalition. but the authorization is demanding a re run. i'll say, corresponds in the us, and i can report from the c, the supporters of the charge and opposition gathered in the charge in the top of the police seat in front of the georgian parliament to voice their support for the georgian opposition, the georgia president sent me a sort of a surprise that it was really, she said that the elections were unfair, that they were illegitimate. that there was interference in an interview by the judge of presidency waters. she said, of course, we cannot prove these planes, encore, the sacrament. there is not necessarily something that can be backed by hard evidence, which is why the prosecutor's office has called the georgia president to visit the office and provide a testimony, especially the clients of one of the biggest, talking points of course, w

norm or act that can hinder this entire process live and says the government will cooperates with an e u technical emission company who to investigate alleged electric irregularities. but the e u, as in no mood yet to restock georgia, sold accession process, they knew well they are applying for. they are applying to enter europe in union as it stands with its principles, values and rules. yet they are not willing to respect those. georgia is boys from here. different directions are possible and much depends on whether it's constitutional god. rails can hold very germans out to 0 to believe that the society people have been killed and renewed. fighting in that curriculum, it just straight to have pocket stones northwest high, but pumpkin clump province. there's been violence for months between shit and so name was in groups. 48 people were killed on 1st day and then the attack apparently targeting ship muslims traveling in the convoy, regions bordering afghanistan has a long history of terry and violence. now the government of the house has opened an investigation into the depth of severa

the final results of mo, data is presidential of bundle selection has seen pro e u tons of take. my son do cut off on south and large poles. thanks to those calls by x spots in the west revival alex on the store in oakland. however, secure the majority of the votes on home ground driving his policies or brands, the incumbent and illegitimate leader, the opposition states. it sounds to contest the results in cost for my son that has become the diaspora as president the mold open socialist party does not recognize the voting at 4 and phone stations, which allowed sound to be declared the winner of the election. my sons is legitimate president, she's recognized only by her sponsors and stewards from abroad. the people of mall, though i feel deceived and robbed the recent presidential election, especially at the voting entrance. mister end at fordham, palm stations cannot in any way be called a free and democratic expression of the will of the people we have faced and unjustified reduction. a number of folding stations, blockage of boat or excess campaign on the day of silence and on

while renee sentiments in china, i rushed to all strengthening the incoming e. u for impose the chief has reacted with criticism. she says, those eastern powers, all supposedly taking a volunteer on the openness of western society. i see china and russia weapon isaac into dependencies, and exploiting the openness or societies against us. we must be aware of what the threat these and respond accordingly together with our closest allies at partners, and without losing and one inch of who we are. that sounds like a lady that's trying to apply for a position at nato. i mean, also somebody that sounds really kind of almost jealous of a good partnership between both these nations, china and russia. this is a partnership that has gone back to generations. and it's kind of like an alignment of countries that are showing solidarity in each other and preparing for whole fully commer geo political times. i would say the trade is going up up and up and it will continue to go up. we are seeing relationships to being built every day here. the chinese are understanding the diffi

it restricts depictions of homosexuality, agenda, reassignment surgery to minors, a new borrows e u member states have spoken now to about the measures with some noting the law resembles a similar one in russia. but the past has brushed off the criticism, setting its rights to dictate its own domestic policy and assist me. i'm amazing for the whole though. the recent experience contradicts this. i don't think we are primarily confident with common sense because not yet being completely lost and brussel set to keep this for anyone who reads the text below and does not falsify it as the signal 3 countries have done. and yet, it is quite clear that it prohibits both heterosexual and homosexual propaganda for children. therefore, what since this lower is not tetra phobic, it is not home a site because we have to, we have to be named by senior research fellow, had the global policy institute in the past george samuel and he says a hungary is increasing a finding itself subjected to e u criticism. but it's completely upset because, i mean it's, it's and when, when it comes to hungary then you kn

computing consumers to apply and get in the take a look at this chart, it shows how much lithium the e u is producing. it may look like a lot, but compared to the rest of the world, it's only point one percent. basically next to nothing, with the units of white gold, we need to make batteries for electric cars and shoot wants to serve renewable energy. so a pretty important mineral for the green transition to you is trying to pin angle the point one percent. it means the block has to massively rely on imports, and you don't need to be an expert to see the big problem here because it means any trouble overseas could spell disaster for the use battery needs. i think the you is panicking. 0 is very good. relate so the, your team, the commission which draws up new laws for the 27 member park, has hatched a plan. they want to build out a homegrown with him supply chain from mining to processing and turning it into batteries, all of which is going to happen in someone's backyard. you cannot come to serbia and take land from the serbian farm and expect people to be what. so how realistic are th

a number of national e u and today, so latest, including the hon. gary and prime minister have said euphrates fall to corrupt to join i the blog. i'm the you, i'm boss of the 2 key of recent e stress that will, is no excuse for ron pins corruption. earlier a pentagon report to us congress stated that the military conflict has created new opportunities for the prosperity of corruption. and a recent poll in the country itself, so the ukrainians believe, as we say, of government is corrupt. some more on this, less plus live to in the pendant started as sonya bonds. and then the many thanks for joining cuz i'm a product. i'm good to say, oh, so what do you make of entre? yeah, i'm not suggesting that your trade is no more corrupt than other data. and then businesses that will be invited to the alliance as well. of course, this is not true where i mean it is a low, as we know for a little bit of time already, that they are very corrupt. i mean, in the netherlands, stay focused for this back for brenda, that ukraine became part of the, the treaty. so that

to use the day, the torques here was parliamentarians and also with the e. u commission are important and guessing these plans implemented and that the e u as a whole ultimately found the impulse of trophies hello daniella from ya on to green parliamentarian. if for those of course, we're really pleased to see the majority has widened in the new parliament and for the people it's clear. so if you show that the majority of european citizens are against trophy hunting till seeing you act up clean and take it, it's also about a certain prestige related to hunting. which in my opinion is totally outdated. the you would definitely be ready to take the next step to make some scripts and then the parliaments cool to bomb the impulse of trophies is a success for daniella freya and us sent back for stephan ventilation. like most countries in southern africa, maybe a opposes and import fund favoring it could lead to fuel guests and less revenue which is live on delish has allies in the ministry of environment and tourism. first of all, so possible, as well. romeo ma'am,
