it is a growth engine for this non e u country. but when goods travel further, they typically travel like this. but you can see how the cargo moves in and out of this board where there is no rail. it all goes by truck. soon there could be another way, the use funding, a real connection between the age, biotic and black sees that could provide a boost of cities along the way. there's another reason europe wants it, its own security, alternative paths to the black. so you haven't treat nearby towers for a long time, but more recently, it's been the problems posed by the boss for us were 30 exercises sol control. that's pushed nations to look for alternatives. in particular, at rail. the one problem is already the current state of albanian rail investment has failed. for decades, many routes are no longer operable. the traits themselves olds and in constant need of rebuilding the josh, really the busy times. i just don't want children, but i'll be in israel. system hills from another era, a 20 year period when china was its closest al

but we heard from president micron off the summits, saying that all the e u countries were interested in that and that those conversations are being had. now, how does this will affect the war in ukraine? one of the moments not to clearly ukrainian president brought him, is the lensky he was in brussels for this summit. but what this is all being about really is about the european union and european union countries trying to re on themselves potentially some of that support though, will trickle down to ukraine to another side notes that was a dissenting voice in the support the ukraine at this summit, hunger hungry vig to old on he wouldn't sign onto the document the you just put it straight in spite that support assign to talk with 26 of the 27. you countries that didn't bother even trying to persuade him around. it seems like pack that in brussels will you credit and president, a lot of mr. landscape would travel to saudi arabia next week to hotels with us officials on ending the war with russia. the saudis, already hosted towards last month between russian and us officials, who as

well, as a result, despite all the anti moscow rhetoric and ports of russian, alan g by e u countries are sending records. and what about all the crude oil that flows through india from russia? after being refunded asia, it goes straight to the european buyers in form of petrol and diesel sounds exactly like that peculiar brussels hypocrisy that dissenting voices within b. u had been pointing out for a while now. this to popular see unfortunately, characterizes all of european politics today, especially war politics. so there is an amazing hypocrisy that everyone shakes their fists at the russians. and when we turn our backs, then boom, business is done quickly, and then they shake their fists again. so a little starting to start europe is trying to take the position of a peacemaker and is sticking its foot in the door, which at least now the representatives of the united states and russia want to close, so that there will be calm in the negotiations and we'll see who is suppose to believe in the sincerity of european countries and that they want to sit at the negotiating table and si

to get in to the you, then you shouldn't be in the business of sabotaging the call. them is an e u. countries see, but apparently that's, that's the obvious logic, but it doesn't seem to have of, you know, it seems to eluded the grasp of the you with these. all right. does, does, but potential reputation damage ever factor into key is a decision making over. so that's kind of a tax with the problem is that we need to red reputational damage. reputational damage, among whom. now the united states is one thing. i mean offices, there was a get a major dressing down on uh, friday. but um, you know, the correspondingly that was this massive uh flow of the support of photos, the landscape from the e u member states. and it just about every single e u member states came out, you know, and then the emotional, almost hysterical support for the landscape. so he hasn't lost um, we shouldn't have, but he hasn't lost any of his reputation reputation. i'm not sure what have you taishan among the you, they're still saying that they will, you know, build the stand with the ukraine. so the 2nd thing and onwar

is an e u countries. but frankly that's, that's that obvious logic doesn't seem to have of, you know, it seems that eluded the grasp of the e. u was, is now it's been revealed that the us national security advisor was one of those past with giving you creating a lot of them is the last key is marching orders from the white house that you follow the explosive exchange and the oval office with donald trump, how do you come in salt? someone when you are practically begging them for money and assistance? when you're wholly dependent on the lark, asked to be american people, and then walk into their white house in their own hall offers. and try to be argumentative and insulting. in fact, checking. so we made that clear in no uncertain terms. we made it clear that the negotiation which could have been a fantastic day for them and the country was over and that it was time to go. he had an opportunity do apologize. he had an opportunity to say that he, you know, is, is absolutely in favor of hitting the reset but

and it's been a pop from increasing the budget and defense budgets across of these e u countries. how is it likely if the tool to change the situation with what's going on when it comes to this will so the europeans do what they have to do, you have to do just the analysis, asked to call them and say the something most of us is full in the trees on, so i need to you. crew that was told me i seen today is very much a representation. that's true visit honesty. there's something that i need to refinance. and the truck is actually more in a county is european. our friends, i want us to have their all yes. freshman as well. i mean by hundreds of almost as full. but as ever with your impressions, whether the some of the sometimes with you are peaceful to the right to nice individual pos costs the french i the you, there's a 2 important parts of it and you guys, most of the positive that's easy to get in the way that college, if you just got to try to bother us, is changing portia davis poles. and i'll start thinking about how you can move on slowly. so lensky are ukrainians as a, maybe

e. u. country on charges of organizing a criminal group, and the staging a to with most goes help. but it's apparently all parts of a crackdown on the remaining and presidential candidate who was walked a victory off the he placed 1st in november in 2024. another defendant joined to the organized crime group, old members carrying out continuous conscious, public or conspiratorial actions in order to achieve the proposed goal. also the members of the criminal group repeatedly contacted agents of a foreign power located both on the territory of romania and the russian federation . well, this is the so called lab fee and pay a commandment group name to offer the influence nobleman from transylvania in romania who is known to carried up both barack acts. and in spite of the legend of count dracula. they has been accused of freezing and forming a power of military group with the intent of bringing down the remaining government . there also choose by the intelligent services of wanting to take romania out of nato and to a polish or political policies and the director at for investigation

one country can old or something. it happens, the e u is $27.00 countries working together and they have to come to consensus, an agreement, and they have to work out exactly how to fund it. you have to look just at the sanctions package packages. we've had 16 of them over the last 3 years, they announced the sanctions that it takes a long time of haggling and deciding exactly on the details before they get unified action. and i think that is what is likely to happen here. and there's not complete unity among the european countries, and i think we're going to see that in a summit. this taking place in brussels is charles also said there was a problem in that. i don't think that they have the capability, the, you and the u. k. and no way which are the other 2 european allies that all members of the, the, you to fill in all the gaps, the big ticket items like patriot missile defense, like the attack comes missiles of the doesn't have that they don't have necessarily, all the intelligence capabilities the u. s. has and provides 2 u k. at so

e u, which again hungry, had objected to that they found some way to get hungry on board. so i think that what the accounting is that they can apply pressure and hungry is it's a small country, it's economically vulnerable. and so if the e u of the class that well, you know, we're really going to cut you off from all kinds of uh, your bmw funding. they think it a long ariens we'll get on board, or at least we'll app stain from voting or, you know, just, you know, they take a coffee break as the boat is being taken. a majority of the european population does seemingly support continuing aid for ukraine. but they are less interested in having their own governments, increased funding. why do you think that is? are they just not facing reality of where this funding comes from? well, the problem is that the road is essentially an american protector of the europeans . have been getting a free ride from the americans for decades. so when they say we're good, you know, we need to do this. we need to do that for ukraine. what they mean is that the americans do it, and that's why they talk to often they beat the chest and in the hero it posturing because they know that nothing much i

this war, israel was also on the path of normalizing relations with some of these countries, notably saudi arabia, the u. e. does these rather they have any influence on the course of the events in saudi arabia an influence on what our leaders might decide ultimately as well. there were no normalization talks uh before october 7th, and that was predicated on 2 things that was predicated on a, uh, is there any concessions towards the palestinians and also on american guarantees to start with your radio? this is, this is undeniable. to what extent were they achievable this is we will never know . but right now this is just become very, very far fetched and the, the knitting yahoo government and the manner in which they are, they are conducting this entire operation has made the, the, the likelihood of normalization, unlikely in the very near future. for many reasons. so i'm not extending that, i think that the saudis, especially because they are the ones that you know the is really the government really wants to normalize relations with have a card to play. and that is basically normalization. they understan

e, d, u a g. and this includes issue as a country of those new test. it sounds like give me a little bit, a couple of things you miles look across the board of the book and be able to use colors and know with g. but the name is baton the lowest, pretty part all definitely to do to the goose the left on top of that i was going with is just love the boozy was a fix it on us could. could you show customers didn't make full shift because part of the sites i still think the church and my team was in college and they kind of thought so thought about 50. so you got the 2nd image, the for me to q. that's what i'm supposed to do. i will we need to shop the patients. we have done that, but i'm sold a lot of beautiful issues. so through nation us again, science with the photos of jewish. did you go and i'm so sure what you mean via those. don't say new stuff to for me to get them. could i get the billing you just give me a little bit of a music just up on the, from the cadets use of for the at the by the so sure. i did it to the computer to just look across what

basically, the e u now seems obliged to pay for security of another country despite their own searching costs. and he's an energy. and it looks like there's actually no confidence that mccomb presents interest of his own citizens. the latest paula ment free elections actually show that mackenzie policy is on the side most popular. and the latest polls actually show that mccullin's trust level is a 25 percent, which is quite low. and the reaction circulating in the media is indicative with means of matching that are making fun of the practice. french president has been holding maj. mine even compared to a napoleon, basically predicting him the same state. and you know, in a public address book on stated that's promising your right to support ukraine from the very beginning of the conflict and to impose sanctions against russia and declared that russia actually poses a serious threat. a lemon escalates. the russian threat is here and to fix the countries of europe affects us. russia has already turned the ukrainian conflict into a global conflict. it has mobilized north korean soldiers an

e. u member states of scrambling to drum up more defense spending in germany, frederick most conservative leader unlikely the next child so says he wants to change the country's constitution in order to scrap limits on borrowing. and he also says it would allow berlin to increase defense spending by hundreds of billions of dollars box guessing, parliamentary approval will be a complicated process. think about that. so don't that cain is invalid. was more on that story and stuff. profound words from the leader of the christian democrats fried, reaching out to the man whose policy came 1st in the general election 2 sundays ago about the need for much greater defense spending in saying effectively, germany needs to grow up and do whatever it takes to change its constitution, so allow more money to be spent on defense because of the situation in europe, in ukraine, the way the trump administration has been acting. but in order to get that the clock is ticking for him, not only does he need the support of the social democrat policy, that's the policy that he's currently in talks with to try and form a new government. he needs other policies to vote for it to any e

countries still allocate less than 2 percent of g d p to their military budgets. and that's below nato's 3 percent target. latasha butler reports from brussels on what to expect from the e u summit on thursday to dictate and what since that is all stories of office meeting between ukrainian president hello, demeans zalinski and us president donald trump. it's been a dizzying few days for europe's leaders. betty, able to keep up with the pace of offense is post cold war. a line for the up tend trumps refusal until now to of the key for new york. security guarantees in the same to the ukraine ceasefire has shield a continent fearful of russian aggression. but will say propelled it into action. no defendant guessing we must needs to united as your opinions determined to protect ourselves. your opponents, to ramp up the defense spending, arms production and ministry cooperation. this tool because it being a defining moment for europe, a wakeup call. since world war 2, the us has insured europe security, helping to create nato and deploying thousands of soldiers as a deterrent. if the us steps away bidding the gap wouldn't be easy, because you are blacks with and towards natio

see a lead is also called the for the countries to minutes arise is a something your p and tax payers would accept. absolutely not. actually, you know, already the e u was a vassal state to us corporate interest and has been a nato, was a us commanded military alliance. now they're being told, they gotta pay the whole cost. and they're already the industrialized, really, because they've cut their gas and oil. and on so many shipments from russia, they're part of the sanctions. well they really and all of that, are they willing and ready for an new relationship? they say they're going right ahead with militarization doubling their military bunch. it's that will take vicious cups in every conceivable social program. and i don't think the workers throughout europe are going to accept this and we can see even what trump's planes are for here, which is huge cuts on the workers here. so i think there's very difficult days ahead of a lot of co workers piece, but it is by a billionaire and corporate interests who are always tied to war in europe. and here. and that is the problem that i think we need to mobilize and confront more strongly. now, do you expec
