u. s. might do to already a need make e you economies, and indeed the political prospect of leaders in those capitals. remember the 2 biggest markets in the u. you, france and germany are already in political crisis. so driven europeans have a plan to meet this threat of the lot. i think largely the reaction of european markets i'm standing in front of the brussels. you are next exchange here is a reflection of the fact that the 27 member states of the you don't have a concerted and agreed plan of attack as it would do. they, for instance, agreed to buy it for oil and gas. they've said they are willing to already anyway, or do they prepare a set of retaliatory tyrese's they did during the 1st the trump administration, or perhaps a combination of the 2 to try and strengthen their end in negotiations? well, we have publicly, at this stage of comments made by a number of leaders at their summit here in brussels, in the last 24 hours. suggesting an appeal to the transactional nature of the businessman. donald trump telling him that the you companies provided a lot of jobs in the us and that both

so the chinese navy is already larger than the u. s. navy, in terms of ship, the number of ships that it has gone to solely in the quality of the ship. so besides the ships, but she and number of 6 ships already bigger. how, how is that gonna develop in the future in the next few years? will this ship building capacity of china these ship build is, is 230 times as large as us ship building capacity. 230 time some of this we came out to a leak, the u. s. navy presentation. and i spoke to somebody in a position to know in washington st. coming to us and thanks dice, this must be an exaggeration. and he said no more like 500. yeah. so that was a huge difference in terms of ship building capacity. and how can the us defend taiwan? how can us defend alcholay, so from a chinese invasion, if in 5 years china has 234 times as many ships can completely dominate the seas, it won't be able to. so this is a massive priority for the americans right now, and they are going to need one expert was telling me they're going to need japan, they're going

they wants to spend all the money already approved by the u. s. congress to help ukraine. and the strategy is broadly supported here by may till members, because they understand stay at the wants to, to provide you quinn with all the equipment, all the weapon stay needs to protect their cities, their infrastructure, and also to they wants to strength and key of the position, should there be any talks with russia in the future? good ideas. so there's some phenomena reporting from brussels. thank you very much for the assembly. thank you. us. and that states are up to date coming up next. the documentary on the dress. this secret police headquarters of the communist regime. i've got office in berlin. excellent. the name is the calls back. said loud. thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. that's what it being nosy bay, like good. everyone to king. check out the award winning called cause. so hold back . the in september 1961 to 17 year olds, met on the blue wonder bridge and dressed, and we just wa

u. s. the f as had to abandon already a totally thoughts and monday and some other areas. um, but um, uh, but again, its way too early to say a completed united states is telling turkey not to proceed in this matter. and uh, we'll see what our tricky heats that advice without tomato router is estimated by itself is in no position to carry out that 5 by itself. it goes to much stronger as the f. so we'll have to see, you mentioned the united states have the kurdish forces, have they lost their leverage with washington, or is us support? is it still reliable? is all i ain't getting possible to say because we're in the midst of a transition in washington. i'm going to buy new administration, i would say no. the gods have it left, lost and rich. there is still in a rush, you know, fighting isis where the courage, of course, we're a partner to the us military. that threats is much diminished in syria, but it's still there even today in eastern syria. um, but under the trump administration of things could change the cost of the trump administration. the care scares more about th

every dollar that is available, they wants to spend the funding that has already been approved by the u. s. congress. that to make sure that ukraine is getting military equipment that they need to face this very difficult winter. but with russia intensifying their attacks on infrastructure and on civilian targets. but of course, the idea or the reason for that is that nobody really knows whether donald trump will continue supporting ukraine the way that the incumbent and administration has done so far. so there is a lot of uncertainty, and that is why many countries not only do aspect to germany, for instance, as well, increasing their health for ukraine to make sure that people can survive this winter. they don't use others on the phone now and in brussels alexandria. thank you so much for that. now, nato has stuck sources offering ukraine membership in the alliance for the, for simple future. but as we've just been hearing kids weston allies continue to help to train volunteers and conscripts as the country is facing down, the much larger russian army dw is rosie. 3 challenge got a chanc

donald trump has not even come into office yet, but it seems a new trade was already breaking out between china and the u. s. beijing has banned the export of a number of key chemicals accusing washington of deliberate, a, talking it's industries. and this using trade regulations, well you're going to and you have china family opposes the us over stretching the concept of national security, abusing export controls. and once in the imposing illegal unilateral sanctions along them jurisdiction of a chinese companies, such practices gravely disrupt the international economic and trade or to destabilize global industrial and supply chains. i'm home the interest of all countries. we will do what is necessary to family safe. god or security and development interests involved. china cited national security concern saying the materials in question could be used for military purposes. the us cited some 140 chinese companies to its entity list, a register of individuals on organizations on the export restrictions. most of the farms specialize in computer chips and software the present elect. donald trump meanwhile ha

in fact, to, to washington's dismay, russia has already moved in to full vacuum. the continuous u. s. troops with tubing take our rod, the withdrawal taking place on this a. how is just one example of that and the, the, the actions. it's a house that just that some countries in the region a feeling will lead to by washington. and now looking for new partners with russia and china as a full frontal, but as a job, i didn't mix this true, but there's a lot to consider. the u. s. has attempted to undermine africa. assume pressuring african countries to condemn russia. that's the police attack took on his own. the u. s. also championing seeds on the security council. looks commendable on the surface, but the lack of the 2 power exposes the balances between africa and the advocates and members. even the fact that button is only visiting africa the last days of these presidents seduce that. advocates not a priority planned to have concerns current tea. a regarding his visit on the african continent, a new will come out from these 2 days. yeah. all right, well wait to see how these pan out s

already. so it violates the constitution that the u . s. has also announced another $50000000000.00 when fall for ukraine to sustain is economy and the defense capabilities. but on this occasion they will be co opting the frozen russian assets in europe. we spoke to jack rasmussen, professor of politics at saint mary's college. he says, ukraine pays a price in human lives for these western handouts as well. you know, the real prices. uh you, ukraine is lost considerably about 500000 since the war began. uh, and if you sugar the u. s. a you together in money and in time, in training and so forth, is spent close to 500000000. that puts the price of $5000000.00 for you currently in killed that $50000000000.00 is coming from the frozen assets in europe. us has no more frozen assets they, they've already taken the 5000000 motion assets they had here this past spring, 260000000000 of the 300000000 originally frozen is a european bags. so either blinking is to say, yeah, well, we're going to take that money, 50000000000 and give it to ukraine anyw

u. s. government data shows europe is already buying most of america's oil and gas, but without additional sales, the us would need to increase output or re route supplies from asia. john, a hole has more from brussels of the major european markets of remains in the read through friday, ending one of the worst weeks in months success evaded the coast by those comments by president elect donald trump on his trip. social media platforms, threatening trade tire. if some europe and goods, it's the he you doesn't degree to buy more us oil and gas to close what trump described as a tremendous trade deficit. in other words, the us buys more, you produce and goods the need you does from the us, which was the case in 2023. what this is done, these crystallized fee is of a potential trade war. if is donald trump 2nd before the election, he went to applied trade towers to all inputs to the us of between 10 and 20 percent. it's have you repeat, lead is running scared of the impact of a trade war on there already, a need make economies and with their own political prospects, the reaction, i think 2 eur

u. s. media claim, the food was on his death bed. you might already be dead. and yet you see him go in, gosh, to talk to joe with western journalists, cuz it's the same time that the russian journalists are not allowed to report. allows us to conduct the interviews with with you as president biden, which would be a disaster compared to what we just saw present to you. hopefully when project trump comes in, there will be a relaxation of, of, of these propaganda. the blocks that keep products you have the truth for being told about the balance field and, and certainly from those areas that ukrainian 5, again, just the only reports that we get your western media just, you know, blind labor feet and an impulse emphasized i thought it was particularly interesting and as i put in, acknowledge that the assassination of the russian general was being acknowledged by the west of the news media as some sort of a terrorist attack or an assassination. something that the by itself is a little bit unique. and i think that it'd be pointed that out in this interview as well. i

already mentioned that to h t. s of cause a being a also called a terrorist defined united nations and the u. s. and they are in charge of syria. now when you mentioned about the sort of the worries that some of the syrian civilizations, all the people that i have about what's in store for them, has the been any sign yet, you know about sort of as long as the rules of being in post on them, or do we know anything about the h t as planned for syria? there haven't been any sort of you know, concerning signs on the ground here, syria that would indicate that, you know, the shift has some sort of getting some history plans in store for serious minorities. but that doesn't mean, but they're not concerned because it has to keep in mind the history of this country and the history of how minorities have been treated. and of course, there is, you know, we have been doing with decades of as i was living through an uncertain it's fine because there aren't any concrete answers of a concrete plans yet. but it remains to see really what the, what this new government does a for my more. all right, so still, i'

suzanne, i mean, it was lots of, of guesswork we can do here, but we were already mentioned the idea that it could be the c d u m s p d. in some sort of coalition, whoever comes out on top. so it could be trump slip schultz, it could be transfer fee trick mess to tell me a little bit about him. paint a very quick pen pen portrait of him for us. well, i mean as the leader of the opposition, um somebody with a finance background, i picked a lot of people here in brussels, are quite confident stuff. if he is elected, the things will start moving in germany on like from square to really is police ago stagnancy. now, one micron is going to be lamed to present for quite a while. there is a sense of impending relief, fear that at least if it's more of a decisive election results in berlin. and you have a chancellor friedrich merge with more of a mondays. and i kind of a stronger political authority at home that he would be able to drive through and more forms on the boat or maybe in his economic vision at one of the big debates. for example, if the debt break that kind of the route that's in place and berlin, that kind o

already suffering from plummeting rates of popularity? how would you characterize the relationship between the u. s. and south korea under his leadership. and so it's been, it's been a little mixed to june, has attempted to position himself actually more as someone who would be able to manage and work with the incoming trump administration. he's been much more aggressive or a sort of on north korea, on the issue of north korea's missiles, north korea as human rights. things of that sort of. she has facilitated the ability of the trilateral defense cooperation with japan, which is something his predecessors were unwilling or unable to do. and in that sense, overall, the united states has perceived him as a, as a fairly positive actor. if we do so use impeachment, for example, his replacement is likely going to come from the, the more liberal opposition and some of those try lateral dynamics with japan may be put at risk once again. thank you so much, roger. that's rhonda bank from the stratford center for applied to your politics at rain. a seal ahead on 0 to 0. and now the knights of demonstrations in georgia protest is around happy wit

and already today you can imagine here is rails war and gaza has claimed, well over 45000 lives. and the u. n.
