my money. thanks so much for joining us. and we'll have more on one of those stories in just a moment. but 1st, some breaking news just coming in here. from germany. authorities have arrested 3 ukrainian nationals allegedly working for russia. prosecutors believe they were planning austin and explosive attacks on railway freight to transport. and that they had contacts with russian state institutions. all right, we can get more on that story from a political correspondent, matthew more. matthew, obviously this is just break and what more can you tell us? so that's why i'm the prosecutors who in germany city of arrested suite, you created nationals and 2 of whom the rest of here in germany,

one was arrested by authorities in switzerland. and what the accused at these, these, you could in men who only knew it under german laws and sluggish love t don. you'll be on your head and be and they say that they have been in touch with agents of the russian state. and that they had admitted their willingness to send explosive items to ukrainian ukraine using freight transportation. and they say that this was a plot that was under way for some time that there had been preparation carried out their way to test and parcels that had been sent with which had been packed with gps track. cuz i'm on the see that this amongst to an act of pep, a potential act of sabotage that they have essentially foiled. i know none of this really comes, the greek shop to, to those wasn't generally because this is not the 1st case of this kind. there was

a similar pull that was foiled, involving the transportation freight transportation, and here in eastern german leipzig that was allegedly planned by russian state actors on the security. substitute generally of one of the time and time again of a surprising threat of hybrid warfare, which the sea has grew and sharply since 2022 since the russian invasion of ukraine. they say that since then, they've been that the threshold for the fight for, for rough shows willingness to carry out such hybrid welfare has fallen. and therefore these 3 individuals have been arrested and they are now in a detention. and we are wait for more details on the story. nothing you think so much less to bring us up to date and t w's must be more reporting on that breaking news. and we will, of course, bring you more on that story when it comes in back to a top stories. now in the us president donald trump,

who is in re add on the 1st leg of a trip to goals. countries announced on tuesday that the us would be listing all of its functions on syria. now that announcement triggered an outpouring of celebration on the streets of the max with, with syria desperately needing for an assistance to help rebuild of to move in a decade of civil today, trump is missing with serious new lead off model. sure, automation of goals, nations, as we said, hosted the by saudi arabia. us president explained his decision to lift the sanctions. let's listen and we are currently exploring normalizing relations with serious and is government as you know, beginning with my meeting with president meadow share a pen secretary ruby as meeting with the syrian foreign minister in turkey. after discussing the situation with ground prince bomb and president 3rd

again of turkey. i am also ordering the association of sanctions against syria to give them a fresh start. it gives them a chance for great just the sanctions were really crippling, very powerful. donald trump speaking then a daniel get like is a middle east, excuse me, x but on the editor in chief of the german middle east magazine venice. when i spoke to him earlier, he told me more about why trump is lifting sanctions on syria as well. i think the saudi arabians, the time, particularly maybe also the united. i'm the risk i seem to do that. these countries are willing to invest in syria, stabilize it, and they are as far as saudi arabia and consumed on saturday for the task that the new regime of the masters. and therefore, if they want to support the syria, if they want to bring that investment to syria, they need to sanctions really because we're seeing the u. k. and not the countries

lifting the sanctions. but of course, the banking sector depends very much on the american willingness because america, that loved the set of controls to finance set to world wide and bass, who want to do business in america, need to make sure they don't do business with the wrong people. so they would wait for sections really and this was the main request and the government of president though, and it doesn't shut off, was willing to do everything to make sure this happens. does this signal a wide uh, uh, us reset in the region. would you say, well that's what you can call it. but inside of the course, there's a lot of spectacular events happening in a lot of spectacular rhetoric. but if you look at it carefully, the approach of uh, transfer them at least is not that much. this meant that much different from his previous services and others like to, uh, invest in this uh, alliance with the uh, wealthy, uh,

because states on the moving peninsula asked me to continue in american policy. we don't know exactly what's going to happen to the us troops that are still present at the northeast to syria. this indeed is going on with the present data of turkey, the self declared dissolution of the p k. k. so there's a lot of dynamics happening and it could be that the americans would withdraw from the northeast. on the other hand, i'm not so sure that's going to happen anytime soon. so i would also look at the coaching, continued t, with regard to israel. america has been very supportive of a or at least not critical of is really action in syria. and we see that the government, the government of shut off did not. so it was rather complacent, if not different, to this is really strikes and is really military activities in syria. and i believe it did so no, no, and because it is weak and it knows it cannot confront, is real. but also because one address why don't come and tell the go station that

americans look, we are not an interview. israel, we might even be willing one day to join the room, a quote. and that's why we're in no danger trays. really. you can release sanctions, which is fine and irony, given the fact that missed us on a few months ago, was the leader often as long as the hottest group in the middle east. so we see interesting dynamics, but i won't see so much like difference or disruption of the previous use policies . if you look at it, we can continue talking about israel. do you see this visit? then shifting the regional balance in terms of us is really relations or not. you know, i don't see a shifting of the balance, but we will see what's going to come out of these a strong set of the, the greatest um, stealing us history. i think it's uh, volume wise, probably the greatest skill in world history. but let's not forget that these are just, as you said, a new commitments. these are not signed contracts. so we'll,

we'll see what comes out of it. if, if there is really, if he's not implemented, then we would have to ask ourselves the question. if saudi arabia and probably other gulf states are going to obtain military equipment that is superior to what they have received before. and that is equal to israel's military equipment. there's something in us policy for positive in chicago, just called the qualitative military edge, which is logic according to which america would never do live and the most sophisticated weapons to all the congress in the middle east. then to israel to make sure that his role is always the off the hat. now what we see going on, you have a saudi arabia, is that it seems that trump is not so much caring about this, this principle of usability policy, the father to this military ed. and that's a concern as well. we see that the gulf states, of course, not at the cost of israel, and even saudi arabia has indicated it, is willing to make peace with israel. is really government to change this behavior . but this also get an increase of office a. it's

a military supplies to the gulf states could also one day turn against israel, and that is something that is really strategist certainly have in my middle east expert daniel guy left. daniel, as i thank you so much. thank you. of the european union has just approved a fresh round of sanctions against russia. it's 17th since most goes full scale invasion of ukraine in 2022. the focus this time is on russia. so called shadow fleet. now this 10 k, you can see the evan inventing is believe to be part of most of those efforts to evade sanctions, including oil price caps. it was discovered addressed of jeremy's baltic coast earlier this year on its way to egypt, and it was caring oil was $40000000.00 euros. the shit, so often uninsured with lucky ownership and all considered a security threats as well as an environmental hazard. let's get

more from the w use a corresponding truth, christy mcguire, who is in brussels. good, see, christine, do we know 1st of all how these vessels are currently able to evade oil price caps as well? any of these old ships that these old sort of tank is, as you've highlighted, what they do is they engage in these ortiz talking gauging in these shady practices, for example, is transmitting false data. they're known to 10 of their transponders, so as to become invisible. and then they're engaging in the practice of circle ship to ship transfers while out at sea that is transferring their barrels to other ships so as to conceal the identity off or rather the, the, the, the, the origin off of the barrels that these barrels would be coming from russia, so the whole idea here is, is to crack down on the activities of,

of these trips because this is helping russia allegedly, to, to evade the sections that have been posed, particularly the price cap right now. oil products from brush all kept it about $60.00 a barrel, and if rusher is able to to evade that by conceding the ident and origin of this oil, then it and get more revenue for its oil. and this ribbon use, of course, what is believe to be spending. it's war if it's in ukraine, so your pee inside this centrally blacklisted. these chips. this in the latest numbers about 200. they are already 100 plus other ships that are involved and that has been targeted. so just give this gives you a sense of the scale of this operation. the amount of these ships that are, i'll say, uh, possibly selling russian oil concealed as, as oil originating from elsewhere. so would you say that in terms of sanctions, this is a significant step against russia. oh, is it more sort of about symbolism? and i know this, this wouldn't be the strongest package that the

e u has put forward just comparing with other previous packages that, that you had started. but this is also just giving you a sense of how difficult it is becoming for the european union to agree on targets on, on what's the targets. and of course, the, how do you go the, how do you're able to hit the russian economy, the bigger you have, the potential of, of the backlash coming back to the european union, potentially affecting countries and the your opinion. so it wouldn't just be, for instance, the hungry v to that we've been reporting about consistently we're hungry, would oppose missions, etc. but other e u member states that stand to be affected by emissions, like, for example, confiscating unfrozen assets. that is massively opposed by countries at belgium and others. so it is becoming difficult. it's not just symbolism because again, you know, russia's war if it's is being funded largely by the revenues it's making from selling energy and other related expos. so targeting that and, and capping russia's ability to be able to then more revenue would be an effective

way. but even e officials would have met. this isn't the strongest package that they have put forwards, desktop, christine and whatever. pushing from brussels, christine, thank you so much. all right, we've got some your vision. some contest news for you. it has kicks off with the 1st time the final taking place in basel, switzerland. 15 ax baffled it out for just 10 places in the south states final, the ag for the taste of it. the funds in the pack, serena would treat it to a number of flashy shows, from portuguese guitar ballads to buying belgian tech. no favorite sweden with the cap sheet song, a song book that place in the final, the 2nd 70 final is going to be held on the

all right, i'm looking forward to that as well. we have time full, thank you so much for watching. the daily news i've seen again the history is very much a live. you may not have that name bodies, i live in your policies. and on important initial i shift any smart devices, the hunt for the rule materials of the few to advocate june 7th on dw, the those you love it and non go clean disney, cuz my name is lorraine fox and then.
