u . k and e. u. leaders are hoping it finally has been jonah, how al jazeera london richie snack should know not to be to soothed by this warm scented bath. the praise that he's been receiving since monday in westminster and a large part of the british press for his new deal with the european union. people genuinely surprised by the depth and the scope of this deal and encouraged by this new atmosphere of co operation and dialogue with the european union where some of rich's c next predecessors had chosen a more competent, adversarial approach. but pretty soon that will you know that the real acid test for this deal is how it goes down here in northern ireland. and if you speak to people in the business community here, i think that generally encouraged, if you speak to people on the streets, i think many of them genuinely encouraged as well. but the main power broker here for this is the d. you pay the main unionist party, we pulled out the power sharing in the store want assembly more than a year

from the point of view of national defense, as sonya added that this is not quote, an e u compensation scheme, but the stakes are much higher to beat back russian aggression. the biggest challenge to our security architecture since the 2nd world war. now actually it is literally an e compensation scheme that we're dealing with here. but apparently now any and all shady ness is supposed to be just swept under the rug if it's related to ukraine. ah, a former australian soldier, shoes of murder, an afghan, but it has been granted bale amid concerns of taliban sympathizers, could attack him in jail. helmet camera footage appears to show the soldier oliver jordan schultz shooting the unarmed farmer several times during the 2012 incident. only you may find the following images disturbing. oh, i ah. right now. stop my god. why the case was initially exposed in the australian media 3 years ago with footage of the killing shown to the public. the defense steam fossils who is currently 41 years old, has argued that he does not pose a flight risk because he has so far abided, why all the restrict

i want to tell president hassan shake mohammed to cut ties with the u. e and the u. s . mr. president, we love you as our leader, but please cut ties with arab nations in america. we beg you, our brother, my americans are in somalia for their own national interests because if they were really serious about fighting al chabarise, they would have ended that menace a long time ago. and they are not helping us at all. i want them to leave our country. yes, they should just leave our country. several arab countries, saudi arabia, jordan and the u. e. have condemned a decision by the israeli government issued construction permits for a 1000 new homes on palestinian land. media report. say that is where he authorities have even bigger piles, to build more than 7000 jewish homes across the west bank resident of one past. in village in the west, i have decided to take masses into their own hands as they have moved into ancestral caves. instead of allowing the area to be taken over by israeli settlers, mo goose have been suffering from a lack of the basic necessities, such as walt

by the trade minister to the u. e. the u. k. and other western countries must separate politics from trade in the economy. the u. k. must tone down standards, human and workers' rights provisions in trade deals. if they want more market access and more business opportunities. the minute we bring politics into discussions, we are deluding from the main objective of the agreements. the statement comes as the u. k. has been testing the waters and the region in a search for new trade partners and its post racks at existence. british officials are seeking to strike a deal with the u. e and other middle eastern countries from the gulf cooperation council trade bought the push. however, as said to have been hindered by critical reporting on human rights records during december's world cup and guitar. the chairman of the middle east center for strategic and political consulting believes the gulf states won't give vent to western imposed values. political oppression has been used to get benefit because normally and we, we learn the lesso

it is slowly becoming a legitimate question among e u. leaders, whether e u. member states could send peacekeeping troops to ukraine in some form. not only as the e u, abdicating its role of honest broker or mediator between the west and the east. but it's joining washington and conveniently, exploiting the conflict in ukraine in which it keeps saying that it isn't directly involved to write a blank check for its own military industrial complex. as suggested recently by the blocks chief diplomat, yoseph bro, europeans have reduced investments in the defense industry over the past 20 years. but due to the radically shifted security environment, we need to increase that again. specifically, we want to deliver a 1000000 artillery shells to ukraine. within a year. we are providing a total of $2000000000.00 euros for this. as part of the european piece facility with a reimbursement rate of 50 to 60 percent, we can allocate around $4000000000.00 euros with this new package. yeah, well it's now part marshall of creating problem that now has to conveniently ramp up the

the opposite happening from kuwait, u. e. so the about us, we send our jets to bring our citizen to coit. that is what we call protecting the human rights. giving the free vacation is to protect human rights. but giving a hey speech and allowance hate speech among the society. it's not, it's not the human right? right? no, this is, this is insult and this is against also the personal ethics. and in addition of that we, we have a good, a just we have a 33 degrees of course. so he kind of bring the lawyer and defend itself we. we are sick and bored from this file that they always complaining and accuse our countries, but we are happy with what we have now. we are not ready to adopt something i guess, a fix and religion and position. you know, you make a really interesting point there because when it comes to those western values, i mean the west has a history of being able to say, hey, this is how we believe that you should live your life. is, is how we believe that your government should act? do you think this is one of those

u. s. e u organizations like amnesty international, have repeatedly sent a message to jerusalem warning. the settlement policies dangerous contradicts the idea of a 2 state solution. and encourages the settlers aggression. israel's response was bold and clear. the settlements will expand, beautiful and peaceful as this area may located hides life threatening dangers. the palestinian presidency offers says last year there were $16000.00 tags on palestinian farms by israeli sat. thousands of trees are burnt, a cod animals slaughter though stolen. and just since the beginning of this year, 7 palestinians were killed in these attacks, fearing for their lives. and after losing hope that the law will protect them. many local farmers, young and old, had decided to the attack as studies faction to move living these fertile land that has been feeding them for decorations, behind ration, osha, r. t, from the palestinian authority to the latest release of twitter files now. and which american journalist

the e. u to the now is the bomb against the french broke asa. often the block did the very same thing against russia and media outlets. and splitting it to france, 25 has done is something is not an in the media outline is not good on why they don't do it in a way what they wanted to know. under 400 is another colonization, another form of position to africans. they cannot give a listen. the way of shipping information is not. everyone knows we cannot owe another new formulas of how to treat an information. there is a base on how to do unfair information. and the way that they have done with the experiments group is something very about actually the, you know, the, you, on monday, if something is not good because we remember the, why do i live? that has been event with nick and you. so the, the eel doesn't have a right or to think about the way. and if they do the like, just wanted to have to think why they've been out of p 2 region. i think your decision is, stedman is not that on. it's not t

u. s. media reports have said the only 30 percent of the american weaponry sent ukraine has gone to the front lines. the e u has raised concerns about such on flooding into black markets in europe. the eas border control agency has reported increased guns, muzzling russia as also alleged that middle east and terrorist groups. i've been painting weapons from ukraine. there have been rising concerns among regular americans about why that government is sending more than $100000000000.00 in 80 plane. while those funds might be better spent on domestic need. money to be accounted for. we need to know where the money's needs met. and not, not fraud, it would feel better if we used our resources to support and aid and people. and those people within our orders ran outside to to afford can make it better than that. here's the other only obvious, one of the main beneficiaries of the u. s. defense funding is actually private contractors. there are estimates that over the past year, independent recipients got more them off of washington national security budget. the u. s. in a spent a general all afghanistan has war

according to an israeli state television channel senior government official in the u. e says, israel is risking relations with arab states with the direction the country is going. the direction of this government goes completely against the abraham accords . these railey governments actions in danger, any potential advance and relations with the u. e and other arab countries. some israeli politicians are even supporting violence. this goes against the spirit of the abraham accords and the current practice and endangers regional stability. be advisor added the other job is investments, and israel may be impacted student instability in the region. during a tv interview. the u. a has instructed it's a master and tell me not to meet any israeli official lawmaker or minister as well as escape any official events. whereas really ministers or politicians are in attendance. this reaction comes after the israeli finance minister demanded the palestinian claim that the policy and nation does not exist. there's also a count that saudi arabia and iran agreed to restore diplomatic re

that so his definitely received an institutional funding and were an institutional material from the e u. m. but the report i should details that it's the relationship between the e on the one hand, the libyan coast guard, and then the traffic networks, the work at the heart and a compromise. the work of the lab income of that had been coast guard. not only for the last year, but for the last several years and over several governments. i think that's where this report for me at least doesn't even go far enough. and one of the reasons why it doesn't go far enough is that if you look into the very details in the methodology of this report, it says that we for a fact finding mission that wasn't able to go and access their detention sites and libya wasn't able to access southern libya, which is the point of departure for a lot of a migrant. some refugees you 1st enter into the country. this report wasn't able to even to, to establish the hardest fact on the ground. so it doesn't go far enough. it is only able to assert things that are absolutely nose on paper. and what we absolutely know is

it is slowly becoming a legitimate question among e u. leaders, whether e u. member states could send peacekeeping troops to ukraine in some form. or these are comments came as a e. u foreign policy chief joseph burrell, cold for europe to increase its military spending, adding brussels as ready to provide key f with another package of financial support . europeans have reduced investment in the defense industry over the past 20 years . but due to the radically shifted security environment, we need to increase that again. specifically, we want to deliver a 1000000 artillery shells to ukraine. within a year, we are providing a total of $2000000000.00 euros for this. as part of the european piece facility with a reimbursement rate of 50 to 60 percent, we can allocate around $4000000000.00 euros with this new package. sounds like a lot of money let. so take this further, not with george samuel, a senior research fellow at the global policy institute of london. very well welcome to you. george is always a pleasure to see you. i know you've been following these stor

so and joseph or l d u e foreign policy chief speaks about europe being at garden in the rest of the world being basically jungle that comes from that euro centric. so premises and he doesn't take into account the fact that europe has destroyed much of the rest of the world through imperialism, through colonialism. he does not understand. he does not want to understand. i'm sure he knows deep down the truth, but he doesn't want to understand that the minorities that have climbed over the walls of this garden are only there because europe has destroyed their lands, they have nowhere else to go. now the chinese government, they are officially atheistic, not secular. they are specifically atheist, although they do officially recognize a few big world religions. how does this lack of religion and government reflect in how they create laws or develop their foreign policies? again, here, i think the, the issue is that china, these tell now has been focused on its own development. unlike western countries over the past few centuries, which are looked abroad, which have look to expand their

u in recent the support given by the e. u to the libyan coast guard in terms of pull backs, push backs, and interceptions, lead to violations of certain human rights. you can push back people to areas that are unsafe and the libyan waters are unsafe for the embarkation of migrants. course libya was plunged into turmoil during a nato back to uprising an bombing campaign of 2011. it was of course, a traditional bout of attempted to regime change. we all know what happened to bow a mock a daffy. anyway, libby as a key transit point of migrants from africa and the middle east was seeking a better life in europe. during a probe into alleged human trafficking and smuggling investigators found that migrants from libya were victims of crimes against humanity, including murder of the european commission, responded and said, brussels is taking the new ends can sons, serious? indeed, of course, we out of there about this late these findings and are also very much of it about the very difficult situation on the ground which we are tryin

he said the u. e has instructed it's ambassador and tel aviv not to meet any israeli official lawmaker or minister, as well as the skip any official events where his rally ministers or politicians are in attendance. this reaction comes after the israeli finance minister claim the palestinian nation does not exist. saudi arabia and iran have also recently agreed to restore a diplomatic relations and re open their embassies following talks, brokers in beijing earlier this month. they've also agreed to re establish cooperation and economic and security in issues. the agreement was a boost for middle east relations. television has been trying to build ties with gulf countries after signing the abraham records in 2020, which were aimed at improving relations with bahrain and saudi arabia. we spoke to a geopolitical analyst in bahrain who says that it's time for israel to decide if it's going to continue with this current policy or change course. i believe the outrage is not just regional, much internationa

now here in the u. e. we also have issues with a coalition, especially with some statements that are that come out of this coalition and this is why because it has been postponed for many times. when that is a big issue, isn't it? the fact that joe biden has not invited the president of israel, as many us leaders have done before to come to washington, that still has not happened. does that not give you? perhaps pause for thought on the current relations between us and israel is give me some thoughts about the the opinion of the us administration on b, b. s, coalition, not be himself, and not also his already, but a many, many, many, many statements. it came from the us department and also from go to the farms and have relations with israel regarding the statements me wrong, the coalition of be sending about the palestinians and re settlements in the west bank. so these things make things it henders. what, what, what is real can achieve more and more with its neighbors, and that is the real, the real issue

u. s. and the e u to reassure businesses with resources to help that sanctions do not apply to humana tarion assistance. they're also working to get more access from within syria for deliveries to get through damascus. and then there's the need for funding. a pledging conference in the coming days will ask countries to contribute nearly $400000000.00 to respond to the crisis caused by the earthquake. that's on top of some 4800000000 dollars that the un was already requesting to address needs that were brought on by 12 years of civil war. that campaign is so far, severely underfunded for the quarter outbreak. his latest struggle of fort syrians in the city of italy, who trying to rebuild the lives of beg reports, piles of rubble, where holmes once stood, a bloody hardly recognizes his neighbourhood. he is recovering what he can of his former life. hi, the vehicle that little of another or none of this homes are rock, it's part of a life. it's now cracked as a result of the earthquake on collecting up positions and will look for shelter. i can afford to restore the building of a lot, all the c

welcome back to going underground, broadcasting all around the world from dubai and the u. e. tomorrow will be 12 years to the day since the u. s. u. k. and france began their bombardment of libya using un security council resolution. $9073.00 is justification. and within months africa's richest capital nation was devastated. is leader mammography brutally assassinated thanks to nato aerial bombardment. to day libya is at best a failed state. joining me today from munich, germany, the former official spokesperson for the late mammography. doctor mussa abraham. thank you so much a most of a coming back on before we get to the future. rob, i suppose i have to ask you what sir, or what your reflections are 12 years on. and they're reminders of your role as you tried to as you see it. stop the catastrophe. thank you actually, and for having me here again, when your excellent sure. of course, to morrow, marks, 12 years after the nato attack, violent aggressive attack against my country. that went on for 8 months, in which tens of thousands of libyans, civilian and military personnel

there was a broad agreement essentially for combustion engine cars to stop being sold in the e u by 2035. but germany then came in and said it ones to make sure that cars that are going to use e fuel. so fuels that are created as a byproduct of electricity production that they will still be able to use. a lot of other countries have concerns that will essentially mean that because you can't tell the difference between a fossil fuel and then if you often, the combustion engines will be able to continue to be produced for cause and therefore that plant green of phase eyes combustion engine cars won't be in place if the germans get their way on this at a friend for most folks in their opposition to this. and they were essentially trying to get concessions on making nuclear power, which france is heavily reliant on it for its production of domestic electricity that they would be concessions on that. and i both the 2 leaders came out and said there is no discussion. there's going to be a deal is all going to be fine, but we know behind this, there have been big battles and the shouts, even bl

it is slowly becoming a legitimate question among e. u. leaders, whether e u. member states could send peacekeeping troops to ukraine in some form. while the comments came as a u foreign policy chief joseph burrell, coal for europe to increase its military spending, adding brussels as ready to provide key f with yet another package of cash. europeans have reduced investment in the defense industry over the past 20 years, but due to the radically shifted security environment, we need to increase that again. specifically, we want to deliver a 1000000 artillery shells to ukraine. within a year. we are providing a total of $2000000000.00 euros for this as part of the european piece facility with a reimbursement rate of 50 to 60 percent. we can allocate around 4000000000 euros with this new package. i was speaking about earlier with a geopolitical analyst or george zamarelli, who says, europe is involved in confrontation with russia. as europe is no longer a sovereign entity. spending is a misnomer ever. will the spending that the use engaging in is offensive spendi

do you think this is one of those cases where the u. e, at least with the official said, but do you think that this is one of those cases where there is some pushback we understand the game we are ready to to play the game. but we are not accepting any kind of pretending human rights issues. we as a society, as a citizen, as a family man, i cannot accept that. and i think that gcc government, and mostly the semi government is not accepting that issues. the international committee has brushed off women's attempts to pressure the sports body into banning russia and bell russian athletes from next year, summer games in paris saying that giving it to such demands would have a detrimental impact on sport. it is not up to governments to decide which athletes can participate in which international competitions. this would be the under world sports, as we know it today. we hope very much that the british government will respect the autonomy of sport, which it has emphasized in so many decisions, statements and united nations resolutions. it's not

the u. e. normalize relations with syria back in 2018 sedans, military leaders, and pro democracy groups say they have agreed to begin establishing a new civilian lead, transitional government. both sides say they will sign onto the changes on april 1st and introduce a new constitution immediately after sedan has struggled to maintain political stability since protests removed, omar bashir as government in 2019 the military has ruled since of cool in 2021 progress on a deal to return to civilian rule has been slow. in spite of promises. still ahead on al jazeera security has ramped up across nigeria. has the country tallies results of state governors elections? ah, ah. hello. there will start your north america forecast with the satellite image showing those storms pulling in to california. this is the latest parade of wet and windy and wintry weather. working its way into the u. s. a west coast. dropping some heavy snow on the mountains. the sierra nevada's and of course the rockies and movin

a monkey wrench if you will, to ban combustion engines in the e. u. by the year 2035, he wants cars powered by environmentally friendly e fuel to be exempted. critics, such as france say it would threaten the use plans to become c o. 2 neutral by the year 2050, a for his part, french president, emmanuel micron. he wants nuclear power listed as a green energy by the e u commission. that proposal as angered the green party and the governing coalition right here in germany, which is phasing out nuclear power. well, you see the problems here, car making and nuclear energy to highly lucrative industries of national importance for germany and france respectively. i'll be talking to or corresponded in a moment about what's at stake. but 1st, let's hear what some of the leaders have been saying today, skipped clark for standing in the hole farther to see there is clear understanding within the you and this includes the idea of signed by all legal give a should be a regulation proposed by the european commission that ensures that after 2035 vehicles that can be

is it risky that nor use e. u. people from e u countries have no real se and deliver it. so it's not just the gift. they get money for it. and this is instead of christ, if you are a friend of ukraine, you would say, this is kind of money should be given as the grant as a gift. but no, they are using this kind of a i, m f. you know what i'm afraid of is that at the end of the day, that's that, that trapped at that trip so that ukraine cannot pay for the debt anymore is aspiring problem. and then that will be pressure to use the frozen foreign currency reserves of russia, which is about $300000000000.00 out of the $640000000000.00 of reserves. and then this was else for the used to pay back this. i am f loan and other loans. yeah, that's another big issue, isn't it? a lot to chew on. thanks so much for breaking down the news today. what we believe is happening anyway. that's a huge loan being given by the i m f to key professor dr. colleagues under she'll of expert and strategically to ship an ortiz chief economic observer. thanks. car. thanks a lot. ok, something either f
