some of the sanctions to remain in place sanctions against our stock henchmen who committed serious crimes during the civil war must remain in place that germany proposes to take a smart approach to sanctions providing repeats really for the syrian population missing from the meeting and re add what ran and russia based storage allies, it'd be ousted asset government who helped it bypass sanctions by providing vital supplies. but serious political landscape has changed dramatically and this will move in a month. those who suffered a weak economy and crippling sentients for use say they're ready to rebuild the lights and the countries infrastructure. there's a huge task ahead and serious new leadership will need to win the confidence and support of the international community to make it happen. victoria gave some b, l, g 0 for inside story. the. okay, let's bring in all of our guests in damascus. i'm a cough, is the executive director of the own run center for strategic studies and focuses on economic development and local government. i think as he ends up in a couple labs is a professor on

the latest set of sanctions targeting the energy sector is part of that plot. the by the end of this ration imposed a new sanctions in an effort to squeeze russia at russia's energy sector. now they claimed that this list of sanctions is the most significant, one to date, against a russia target in russian oil and gas exports, including rushes, major oil producers. now that includes gust from nest and the root enough task as well as substitute. there is an additive to that we're providing services to both oil companies, including insurance and transportation. the us treasury also issued a determination allowing american authorities to impose sanctions against any person determine to operate or has operated in the energy sector of russia over 2000 subsidies of the companies were also added to the sections list. and they've also targeted over a $180.00 vessels, largely oil tankers link to what the us had describes the shuttle fleet of brush or operators used to ship russian oil and over 30 russian based oil field service providers were full, sol slapped with rest

the sanctions into the positions of syrian people in development and reconstruction. the i don't know about this, and this is all just a life from joe hop, also coming up the one size more than 1000000 children and gaza face on mental health crisis as visuals. water and garza wines on concerns of wildfires in california will continue to grow with wings, expect it to pick up again 16 people a day. and we report from the democratic republic of congo, the armies trying to retake, drawn from and 23 fighters. this is the village of one of the big data. well, the deal, i mean has been frustrating for most days. right now the the lifting of sanctions against syria has top the agenda at our meeting of european and out of leaders in riyadh. e leaders agreed to discuss sanctions relief at the end of this month, some brussels. the new survey and administration has called for the removal since december and bought out all a side was i've stood for germany's folder and this has some sanctions must remain in place. so they have various fold, administer options, file been functional

we also confirmed the necessity of lifting sanctions imposed on syria because the sanctions and the emissions of syrian people in development and reconstruction on friday, the also states central should be lifted by throne. we need the support of the easier built if that's still up in an embryo. the you repeat communion, said to convene the meeting later this month in brussels to discuss the listing of the sanctions that you want the lift. they could be reimpose developments going to the right, the middle east germany, the use because the economy, safety one, some of the assumptions, 3 main sections again, are henchmen who committed serious crimes during the civil war. must remain in place that germany proposes to take a smart approach to sanctions providing repeats really for the syrian population. syrians now need it which dividend from the transition, the powers, the us and european union with central. so city of the bus driver on a separate team track done on government protesters. they were meant to punch through jim. but the battery had serious economic sanctions have made it difficult

the us announcing a slew of sweeping sanctions against russian oil industry. i talked you're targeting a pair of other nations major energy producers. however, bivens admits that, while the move is meant to talk, if not impertinence, americans who are going to end up paying the price you've made today, decision about sanctions against russia. are you concerned that that decision will perhaps be to gas prices going up? i can explain why those sanctions were imposed today and not earlier in the term. essentially to impose today because they will have profound effect on their growth and their refreshing economy and make it more difficult for putting to conduct as wars. it is probable, a gas prices could increase as much as $0.34 a gallon. but what's going to have a more profound impact on russia's ability continue to act in the way it's act to conduct. meanwhile, london is following washington's footsteps imposing its own. nancy russian side, sions, which essentially mirror what uncle sam has in store. moscow has responded to what biden's, leaving behind, suggest

they've said that they are going to ease sanctions for the next 6 months. they want to see more a coming in. but again, this hasn't happened yet, and it's always been very difficult and it's going to be, it's going to need to be a much smoother system going forward to ensure that they can actually get in here. and the sanctions really means the people in syria are feeling that as soon as possible from nevada. thank you very much, my have a jump jim talking to us from damascus there. while we're going to take a closer look at the sanctions on the sale which are being in place since 2011 target, it's financial transactions. it's only like sports and the trade, amongst other things. since then, it's economy has shrunk like 85 percent as g. d. p has dropped from $67500000000.00 to $9000000000.00 in 2023. 90 percent of citizens now live in extreme poverty. any 13000000 don't have enough food. sanctions also made it difficult to bring an aid and medical supplies, and experts estimate it to take a decade to return to 20 eleven's g d p. and another decade to fully

it was more sanctions. in fact, the present trump himself has recently put out one of his truth social posts, making that point again. and they threatened the ukraine with a cut off with military assistance. i think a potent and the crime 100 would be very happy with the deal where they keep the territory and ukraine. they have, there's a cease fire. nato does not accept the ukraine as a member. all of this was laid out by j. d bands who is now a vice president during the campaign. that was a piece plan that could be written in the crime on the now the news syrian foreign minister has been speaking in davos. the islamist complained to his interviewer, a former u. k. prime minister, tony blair, the western sanctions placed on the previous assad government, or the stabilizing the country and make ruling the nation virtually impossible. what's the biggest challenge, what, what are the, the thing that you'll most concerned about? the big challenges depending on this uh 50, this is the economic sanctions. i know

, political sanctions. is that right? you can put it that way. i'm having the business, i guess. um, but i as, as i said, i mean, you should be clear that there's no sanctions on importing busing gas. and this is a pragmatic thing where many countries have chosen to try and win themselves of russian gas gemini, being the biggest example in so much as it was entirely dependent on inputs of gas fi pipelines and the north stream to pipelines with blowing up in september and those were the main pipelines that were landing in germany. um, but one of the strands is still intact and could deliver gas. but germany is taking the principle of the system not to use that will restart that despite the fact goods and offered shots to turn them back on again. and it switched to n n g a great expense because it had no energy terminals. um, but as you know, hired these floating terminals, but the whole business uh, the account economics surrounding the gas. i'm, it, it's cause you're a huge problem because energy prices her

the sanctions were imposed on the previous regina ousted regina and the sanctions hit, the syrian people, they must be lifted it so typically will take a role in this regard. and i think open and structured dialogue in this particular period of time is quite important. so me a look at are design and i've also been by the we need to confirm my commitment to the values and principles that will boost the human rights and seriously every 30 and regardless of the 6 because the law will prevail and citizenship will apply equally to everyone, this is quite important to keep and maintain the stability and sovereignty of syria and will be good for all for the region. farm the size of 0, senior political unless any joins us now from the good speak to again low. and so we had talents arriving in damascus off to the french and the germans. but all the best positioned in syria given the embassy, was already opened when the rebels took damascus or the opposite, or the opposite. the meaning that on like the germans and the french, there were excited in 2024 even before that. 2 or 3 years before that bu

but america just simply could impose most sanctions. it could scope of this deal is they still strong enough to withstand an american response. as i said, is that the russia and during the last 3 years proved to americans prove to europeans that know sanctions that work during that work. and it gains that in the interests of europe as europe, in countries at all, their ruining m a u r, p, and the economy, but not the russian, they quote another russia benefit from these sanctions special a 3 tons, production inside, and many other branches of industry that were destroy jordan's less such a yes of to is it gives production of the soviet union. now uh are you calling gardens is as it is as that is out of american policy. so in some way we can think american policy. oh, essentially. well, is it against the rush? i because it's free to rush and liberal circles ruling circles that there is no way to go up. what they do is that the west on the same way that it was collaboration, we saw a jordan, a less associate. yes. so i assumed that the ru

some sanctions on syria. they want the sanctions to remain on people who are involved with that said, reviewed and committed crimes during the war. there are other member states, of course that have said that all sanctions should be lifted going forward because that's the only way that syria can start rebuilding the economy. you heard mr and shaped bonnie and dabble is also state the fact that they want to make sure that refugees who left syria can start returning because those refugees for work in other countries got valuable work experience there. they can come back here and help develop the economy as well for and he made the point that syrians went through a time, sarah, because they like, sorry, i'm having some june, many things. indeed, for joining us that from damascus. the thought that if i were president over with was there's white house correspondent, kimberly how could joins us now. and we knew that trump was very teens, and this was a new credit as quickly as possible. is this how we expected him

sanctioning and attacking the i.c.c. is not only bad for israel, my colleagues, it's bad for the united states. it's bad for the world. i urge no vote and i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts reserves. the gentleman from florida is recognized. mr. mast: mr. speaker, we are the people's house. let me translate what was just said. it's not a priority for the people's house to do everything possible to get our people home. to include getting in the way of those that are getting in our way. mr. speaker, i'm pleased to yield four minutes to the genesis of this legislation, the gentleman from texas, the lead sponsor, mr. roy. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. roy: i thank my friend from florida, the chairman. i thank him for his support on this legislation. i thank him for his statesmanship on this particular issue which is critically important for not just our friendship with our ally, israel, but also our own national security, the protection of our own men and women in

now spaces of financial sanctions from the us as early as next month, the u. k. and the you are also likely to follow in the us as a foot steps. but the serbian president didn't know that the us sections against the company due to russia's ownership of it. shares would not affect the belt bridge refusal to join the n t. a russian bandwagon. now as specifying that bold grade will fly to anyway, maintain friendly relations with moscow. oh, i don't. gas from on the other hand has set that to the prepared for this. they would not taken by surprise when it comes to the functions and this new measures generally. and they were prepared for a new us, but the actual assumptions about how russian companies which to the measures in the past, against the us sanctions and all of this. you know, see thing from all sides as, as the, a quite a conflict to russia has become the most sanctioned country in the world. except that it seems to not have works the way that the was has been hoping for. for us, as in 2022, the g 7 nations created an oil price tap intended to limit how muc

yeah. sanctioning that animal feed. the us as buying from russia is going to be a real turning point, a real economic a bomb for the russian economy. the us cut itself off completely from its biggest russian import. that would be oil back in 2023. and that didn't even do the trick, but depriving lucky because somewhere in the american midwest of his russian food to stick it to put and well do the job a russian imports last year or just under 3000000000 dollars way down from 14 and a half 1000000000 before the brand complex, so not much wiggle room left there now. but russia still has way more us imports to play around with if it wanted to me while frontier sounds like the guy at the bar who wants to settle scores in the parking lot of back. and by parking lot, i mean to social his social media website. i'm going to do russia, who's economy's failing, and president, put in a very big favor, settle now and stop this ridiculous war. it's only going to get worse if we don't make it to you and soon i have no other choice but

we also confirmed the necessity of lifting sanctions imposed on syria because the sanctions and the emissions of syrian people in development and reconstruction. let's take a closer look at the sanctions on the syria, which have been in place since 2011 against special assad government restrictions focused on financial transactions, oil exports, and tried since then, the economy has shrunk by 85 percent g. d, p has dropped from 67500000000 to just 9000000000 and 202390 percent of syrians now live in extreme poverty. nearly 13000000 don't have enough food. the sanctions also made it difficult to bring an aid, as well as medical supplies experience estimates. it could take a decade to return to 20 live ins, ged pay, and another decade to fully rebuild the country. let's go to the homes of a homeless who is in damascus for us and as well as saudi arabia, usually does a meeting later this month to discuss sanctions release relief. can you just explain how positive that is for the new administration, but also the syrians as well, of the the city and the city and delegation came to the looking form

the sanctions are still going to remain in place. and the company is the largely disconnected from the international. so we have system. this is ada. i'll just sorta damascus. let's get more with dr. masato hyundai is president of the syrian american medical society joins us from chicago. thank you so much for your time, sir. so what we've heard today from the bond and administration is that the issue this syria related general license, i wonder if you could explain to me exactly what that means and what the implications are on the ground from a humanitarian point of view. this is really great news and actually it kind of is the perfect time now. and it's just that it was well a way to lift gate on the sanctions and lobbied hired by the certain american community here. we hope this is a jennifer steps we're going forward to lifting all the sanctions against syria. this means a lot to uh, the humanitarian sector right now, because a lot of the steering people, most of the sharing people rely on the governmental uh, sex or for their li

and then you have another day or which is activity esg sanctions done by old fact. and then the other layer on top of that, because the un sanctions that is, i'm sorry, i'm in a room where the lights seems to, didn't want to magically. so. so now the other layer is actually the sanctions that are, that are all told him a skin nature. so the sanctions are imposed by countries, primarily because of the role of the asset regime. but these are also, again, extremely complicated because they've been, some of them were actually imposed since 1979 for x step for committed by shop as a sub for instance. okay. what yeah, i mean that has, and this is my query because we, there is so much focus on the sanctions, but what is also critical to the economy is reconstruction and the, the money that is, that comes with that. and we have the recent visits from the german and the foreign ministers to damascus, which was followed by all these headlines, declaring that the will not fund a new quote as long as structures for the country of the country needs billions of dollars full recon

the office of financial sanctions implementation is ensuring the case . financial sanctions are robust and enforced against anyone who seeks to circumvent them. unfortunately, it seems that the o f s i is old book guns. no bite of the 52 cases. it's looked into 15, have been dismissed with no fines or any of the punishment. it's still looking at $37.00 of the cases. so progress, there's nothing. in fact, the most, the o f i saw i has been able to achieve is a fine to a property management company. what so i can choose, what was it in breach? you'll view me one, the one talking to the crying is, did it help put the trait, keeping it cuz own it was fine. so basically paying the water bill. i do not integrate concierge service is limited, made 6 payments to utilities and will to companies pursue into these licenses. while these payments will not themselves breaches of the regulations i csl failed to comply with the reporting requirements contained in the licenses. if there was an award for the most useless, fine f o b o f s. so i would walk away with it. yes, the u. k continues to troll t

i mean, the sanctions are pretty useless all by to them. so interestingly, that all know any direct sanctions preventing russian pipeline gas or russian liquefied natural gas from entering europe. we saw a domestic reduction in europe, russian pipeline gas in ports in 2022. that was not down to a direct sanctions and we are still seeing a strong deliveries of liquefied natural gas into, into europe, from russian terminals. so in, in that sense, and also the, this ad mentis day for, for the european gas market where ukrainian transit halted. but that was really not down to sanctions, but rather to the expiry of the russia, you train transit deal and to ukraine's unwillingness to sign a new deal for that transit to continue then it's a very interesting with the natasha is just use as my mentor is and the main to stay because ukraine has said enough is enough. this a business deal, no sanctions deal. we can get rid of this deal if we want to. and actually it's hurting us because about building those billions are being used to kill our people .

later the us and you expanded those sanctions. i think the central bank, the electricity and energy sectors in 2019 the us passed the seas act which effectively banned states and private businesses from doing deals with outsides. government while outside is now gone, western sanctions remain in place including on the high i'll tell you, i'll show them the main group it over through us side and is now leading. syria is transition document photo hyundai is the president of the serial american medical society. and he says while the us as the some sanctions, oh functions needs to be lifted. it was much trickier before today because, you know, then we, we really were very hesitant to be able to do anything. and now it adds a little bit more clarity the, the, the new license, a 24 allows us to be able to deal with the steering government institutions that are working with him in a jerry sector. so that makes it much clear, but it's still now we're so you know, there are certain individuals on this government now that are under the, labe

china and india are now— directly sanctioned.ntially in i india are now potentially in search of new suppliers, they have been the big customers here, so how will they respond? they will be very cautious. as well as the sanctions on the vessels themselves, there is also a tightening up in the pre—existing sanctions regime and it will affect a russian insurance company and traders as well, so chinese and indian buyers will be wary, and they are bidding up the prices of alternative routes from latin america and the middle east and west africa. i suspect russia and iran will probably have to discount their crude to make sure that flows continue albeit likely at reduced levels. david, thanks forjoining us. thanks for your insights on this complex geopolitical picture. the uk government is considering plans to clamp down on ransomware by making it illegal for companies and services providing critical national infrastructure in the uk — to pay a ransom in the event of a cyber attack. it would include hospitals, data centres and ultilit

what a wide array of most of the western sanctions have seems to be. we can serious economy under threatening it's recovery often in the 14 years of civil war. shortly after mass protest interrupted against special aside, back in 2011 and the bottom crank down to follow the u. s. and e, you impose sanctions on syria, followed by several other countries like to the us and you expanded those sanctions hitting the central bank electricity and energy sectors. in 2019 the us passed the seas act which effectively banned the states and private businesses from doing any deals with assad government. while outside has now gone west and sanctions across the board remain in place, including on high october a rush. i'm the main group that over through him and his now leading syria is transition stopped him aside. our honda is the president of the syrian american medical society. he says that while the us as ease some restrictions, all sanctions need to be lifted was much trickier before today because, you know, then we, we really were very hesitant to be able to do

you seem to be to hear about using sanctions as leverage against booth and rushes grown up through sanctions and has been celebrating sanctions at home as a by the 90 percent of trade with china is now to you on and maybe 90 percent of the trade winds at the rate is going to be in the rails. what do you think ruby has up is leave or we got as regards ukraine or is it all about trump is regards ukraine as well. this is an aspect of the trunk policy, which he and the other advisors have commented on during the campaign. there they, they why a negotiation because as with everything was dropped to the world is just a long line of deals and he wants a deal to take this for a new crank off his table. he views it in spite and spore. he is said that the war never would have happened to any been elected president, which of course is neither approval or disapproval, but he wants it. oh, her way if he doesn't want it complicating his agenda. i think that's very bad news for ukraine. they have threatened rush, it was more sanctions, in fact, the present trump himself, but has recently put out one of his

or to expand the sanctions leave. so they say that it depends on the performance of the move in his vision in damascus. and also the authorization saying that us why the government seeing that this authorization does not unblock the property of any beloved or sanctioned persons, including the south comedy assad associates the central government of syria or the h d. s. if ever shown, which is now the dominant pulled to go and made it to be poverty in celia. and also seeing that these authorization is not a loving any transactions, any financial transfer to any person that is still under this section. so the authorization is also loading some of the american city and citizens to have some personal reminiscences to pay their friends for families that are leaving in the north east at the north west of the conference. so here what we can understand is an important step, a strong show of goodwill from the united states to have the ceiling is what we're is suffering from the poverty. the scene is what science of color from s

something funny, i don't think the sanctions policy should be such that the one who has sanctioned suffers more than the one who imposes the sanction. that's all, unfortunately, in the case of the sanctions policy imposed by the european union, it is partly the opposite. the reset and relations with russia will happen regardless of what anyone thinks in poland. we live in a world of propaganda, where it is believed that the western world has definitively severed ties with russia. so this is plainly a fall. so it comes in the western world, all business and politics are waiting to return to business as usual with russia. i think i've seen that on a midst it all, major european economies are feeling the heat. archie contributor rates and morrison brakes done one case in point as well. i mean, i could ramble off a whole lot of success. x for example. people here are paying 20 percent more for food than they were before the ukraine complex or they're paying 40 percent more for electricity. i could just go on and on with stuff like that. never really ends and there is no end insights. but let's

and these, the sanctions will have a little impact. uh, once again on the vintage the people as they choose the past that brings them closer to i said to china and to other countries in the region and beyond. all right, washington has even announced a $25000000.00 bounty for my do as capture. i wonder, what do you think about that maneuver? i think it's less of a, i mean this is a, this is the, the, the guy empire trying to reach out and trying to show that he still has power. and mike, and it's, uh, it's really an embarrassment that this is an elected president of a country and united nations of a country that has diplomatic relations with other countries in the world. and they put a bounty of millions of dollars for his capture. this is so the other depravity of the united states at this point. and i'm serious that by which they continue to engage with lots of american and couldn't be in countries that are on to the their own path and not cowed selling to washington. and of course, it only shows the power that venezuela has in the mi

n. sanction this. now where it's just becoming less important because in a sense he's moving to become the government of syria and they're trying to limit its presence and even its appearance the so at the very beginning the flag was, has featured. now it's been weeks without referring to the side and so on. for the individuals that remain an issue and they have to be addressed. some like the minister of foreign affairs, a shaped body is not listed and he's allowed to travel, but others are still listed right. and he's traveling as a right now meeting his daddy and kind of thought that you to hold a press conference in itself. and so will close to that just as soon as that starts from the time being. thanks very much indeed. so can mark out here as well, julia as well international flights to and from damascus resuming for the 1st time since the i've been through a bus routes that last month kind of roadways. one of the major international headlines now flying to this tier and capitol. it's light from

the integration coincided with us announcing new sanctions on venezuela and officials. washington also increased the reward from other widows arrest or conviction to $25000000.00. less than america editor to see in human as following developments from santiago into that swearing end of nicholas. my brutal for a 3rd consecutive term as president of and as well. i has not come as a surprise, but it has been a deep blow to his opponents, particularly edmondo bone scientists, the man who was the opposition candidate and last july's presidential elections and who is widely believed to be legitimate and winner of that whole. now, while they are claiming that they won the, the opposition leaders, most of them at least are either in hiding or in exile at this moment. their strategy over the last 5 or 6 months from july until now was to try to get the international community to pressure president, missouri to either step down or to hold pressure elections that has not happened. meanwhile, president, my brutal does have the support of china, of russia, iran, and many other countr

this is the economic sanctions. i know we inherited a lot of problems on from the gym, but also we inherited the sections and we should remove it and lifted the from the should. this wouldn't because uh no, uh that it wasn't the best. the boots for the seat of people, but now it's, i guess, the city and people. so if you have a development vision, you mean it was put in order to help the certain people that struggle to get us the previous regime. but now it's a, it's a general day on. yes, it's like, uh, its uh, removing the equipment function is the, is the key for 70 of senior. yes, today's terrorist is today is on a doubtful guess. this is where the city is hosting the 55th. well, economic form probably the problem. yeah. a co chain bought for the global political on finance, so elite, but he has debut performance. we saw that serious new foreign minister. and i said i'll. so i bought a used to stage time to petition of the, the removal of western sanctions, which would have been suffocating damascus for over a d

but america just simply could impose most sanctions. it could scope her, this deal is they still strong enough to withstand an american response. and i think that the russia and during the last 3 years, bruce to americans prove to your opinions that no sanctions that work during the work and it gains in the interests of your europe in confidence at all. they are ruining m a u r a b and they're going on, but not the russian they call into their russia benefit from this sanction special dunn's production inside and many other branches of industry is that where destroyed jordan's less such a yes of to is it gives the direction of the soviet union. now uh are you calling gardens is as it is as that is out of american policy. so in some way we can saying the american policy, oh, essentially, well, is it against the riser? because it's free to rush and liberal circles ruling circles that there is no way to go up. what they do is that the west on the same way that it was collaboration, we saw jordan last us. okay. yes. so i assumed that the ru

the sanctions were imposed on the previous reaching, the house did redeem and the sanctions will hit the syrian people. they must be lifted. last week, the french and german foreign ministers came to the must castillo's books with serious new leaders. the us and you'll see they want to see cd up in the past to democracy and be with the rights of minorities are respected before the assumptions are listed. but cd and d to see it to take several years before elections can be held in the country. then the administration in damascus. us problem is that right? so if the cd we've been respected unprotected located because i'm in the process, been in the body of the we need to confirm my commitment to the values and principles that will boost the human rights and seriously every 30 and regardless of this 6, because the law will prevail and citizenship will apply equally to every one of the sections and nearly 14 years civil have left 90 percent of the population living in poverty. the conflict was also the district much of the country's infrastructure. on monday, the s e. some of the restric

you impose sanctions on syria, followed by other countries later for us and you expanded those sanctions hitting the central bank. the electricity and energy sectors. in 2019 the us passed the cesar rack, which effectively band states and private businesses from doing any deals with us as government. well, so there's now gone. western sanctions across the board remain in place, including on hey, you have to have either shown the main group that over through s a and is now leading serious transition doctrine will fund that hyundai is the president of the syrian american medical society. he says that while the us has ease some restrictions to make it easier to bring. so mandatory in a to syrians, all sanctions need to be lift. it was much trickier before today because, you know, then we, we really were very hesitant to be able to do anything. and now it adds a little bit on clarity. the, the, the new license a 24 allows us to be able to deal with the steering government institutions that are working with him in a jerry sector. so that makes it much clear, but it's still now we're so you kn

to talk about sanctions, just to finish answering your previous question about sanctions, the sanctions today — are sanctions that are blanket, that are indiscriminate, that are directed against anybody who holds a russian passport. sanctions should target putin's war machine. putin's war economy. the goal of the sanctions should be to make it more difficult, and ideally impossible, for putin's regime to continue conducting this criminal war... so you're saying that the baltic states and poland, which have made it virtually impossible for a russian to enter their territory, you're saying that that's fundamentally misguided, are you? yes, i am, because this doesn't affect putin, this doesn't affect lavrov. i don't think they were planning to drive in the baltic states with a russian number plate on the car. but you know who it affects? it affects independent journalists. it affects human rights activists. it affects lawyers who are helping political prisoners in russia because they cannot enter these countries because they hold russian passports. you know, the last i've looked at the eur

k continues to try out the line that sanctions are working. all they have, according to sky news, we're just, companies are exporting hundreds of millions of pounds. but quitman and machinery, which ends up in russia. this includes pulse with drones. i wonder where they used, but don't worry, you pay, you're not alone in being useless, but you are still guzzling, rushing gas on sending money into the crime. this causes at an alarming rate. russian energy, particularly gas, is still present in the you and gas imports from russia have increased in 2024, including l. n. g imports. cheap gas warming, those cold european homes this winter from russia with love on it is not the only headache the brussels is facing. donald trump set to take the controls in washington in the coming days. many in your fall getting cold feet hungry is for the show. the trump is going to reverse many of the the russian sanctions and has already threatened to veto the next act as a rolling ones. meaning russian assets would be released from the deep freeze that's, that's

so very unclear as to whether the sanctions are in fact possible because the full are off to sanctions has already been applied by the, by the administration. but still, president trump is confident in this posting that he can get talks on the way and that he, himself, because of his relationship with president putin partially, would be able to get an negotiated end to that ongoing one you crate. unlike meanwhile, trump is targeting the physical entry of migrants, the us us southern border yes, it's a mass of operation. he's issued an executive order, essentially confirming a state of emergency on the country 7 folder. uh, this gives him a lot of leeway in terms of action that he can take. he's direct to the old government department to stop the physical movement of immigrants across that border. he's also confirmed that he will be sending at least another $1500.00 active service troops up to the board to, to join in the efforts to prevent any to the immigration. now it must be made clear as well, but there are already more than 2000 active service troops on the border. they was sent t

if the us reimpose the sanctions. but if american companies are in the bond, it will be much more difficult for the us to ever go back to sanctions policy. so if you actually want to have sustainable sanction, certainly if you need to welcome in the america as into the learning economy. so i think there's an opportunity there since this is a key trump interest the wrong, it seems to be realizing this. the question if is, if the mechanics and the movements of diplomacy actually enabled the 2 parties to even get to the stage of discussing these core issues. any is an interesting point, is that because you've heard trace of policy that talk about the idea that donald trump is a business president, you want the american interest put 1st, that might not chime very well with the europeans, but i mean, that's going to be sticking point when it comes to getting everybody together, surely like i think that's and for better for us we are in a situation where there are so many tens points between your up either on the new father

, and the tanker was sanctioned, and the unit where the tanker came from is also sanctioned.the impact of those sanctions, the impact of those sanctions, the impact basically is limited and short lived. impact basically is limited and short lived-— short lived. the energy admit -- the energy _ short lived. the energy admit -- the energy administration| —— the energy administration has raised its forecast for supply? has raised its forecast for su -l ? , , , has raised its forecast for suul? , ., supply? the industry is known for delays _ supply? the industry is known for delays all _ supply? the industry is known for delays all the _ supply? the industry is known for delays all the time - supply? the industry is known for delays all the time is - supply? the industry is known for delays all the time is not l for delays all the time is not necessarily that all the planned outputs will come online, at the same time we have seen company is like exxonmobil promising us to triple its output by 2030 only to find out they been struggling financially and its recent quarter. this mean

and by snapping back a, the sanctions that you and sanctions now in terms of uh, the radium priorities, of course they don't want escalation for their ideal outcome is and we can see the ation may be in the short window of opportunity to do that. i think it is going to open with the new administrations, washington. it is a reconciliation that can basically re a re reinstate as sort of a deal that can resemble the j cpa not exactly the j 6 here by the saint. john would lower the sanctions that were imposed unilaterally by the united states on yvonne now snap back mechanics. and we'll do the opposite by basically international revising the sanctions that are you in the lateral. now it will give it more, a legal brain international, the right. of course. that's a concern. but ron has, and i think it's part of the rational why they ran against are now talking to the europeans, considering really the harsh rhetoric we hear from you. okay. and capitals trade. so one of the things that donald trump said, one of the reasons for pulling out the deal is he said that iran didn't stick to the spir
