for them, when generation industry feels like the rate the business dw news line from pilot donald from read tonight's global trade center. the us president threats to impose 50 percent terrace on impulse from the european union, claiming at samantha state, sol, maintaining a string of unfair trade practices against america. shep prices have tumbled on both and israel presses on whether it's offensive in gaza as some food medicine deliveries, breach, palestinians. in the way the government is planning to set up a zones and gaza for civilians to receive supplies on su, crane and russia. begin an exchange of thousands of prisoners of war. on each side,

you meet the ukrainian mother whose son has been held for 3 years. the gulf is welcome to the program and we begin with breaking news from the us where president donald trump says he has recommended a 50 percent tariff on all the impulse from the european union. he made the announcement on his truth, social media network writing, the powerful trade barriers v a. t taxes ridiculous coal for penalties. non mandatory trade barriers, monetary manipulations on fed unjustified lawsuits against american companies and mold may have led to a trade deficit with the us of more than $250000000.00 a year. a number which is totally unacceptable. our discussions with them are going

nowhere. the answer, the 1st reactions that go straight to the w as process corresponded on solver. and so for now, trop only says he is recommending a 50 percent areas on you products. how much will be read into this? we could the cloud significantly so fastly because this is a us president talking so it's possible that he is going to just go ahead and, and, and, and push through that. the 2nd reason is the timing. now this announcement by donald trump is comes as i was before the eas trade commission that was due to talk with his americans down to font and talk about these differences or what arabs the trade will that has been inflicted on the allies. and so is, so i'm going to actually go ahead do with the 50 percent. it looks like he's unhappy with that e use called a proposal to the us as the moms now us had not seen talking to the youth previously, at least about the work and wanted that happened about

a week or so ago that you prepared. it's gone to proposal and said, look, here's where we can do that. we'll see some stop at at of seems the president is not happy with what the use is that 2 of us now trump, the roads on social media that the us quotes very difficult to deal with and all negotiations of them are going nowhere. what do we know about these negotiations? i mean the steps they could just be, you know, making this threat as a negotiation tactic, right? but as far as the negotiations themselves are concerned, we know that the u. s. said that it's ready to buy more energy purchased more energy sources from the us, which was the fast demand by donald trump. you know, when this trade war was on least the e was also a come up with several other proposals, you know, on how to deal with the chinese over capacity in a joint model. so we could still be allies and a contain china's going economic influence. look at how we can secure supply of

critical mentos. again, something that is controlled by the chinese look at how we can, can uh, have the supply that supply chains of semi conductors are protected from chinese dominance. but it seems that this message offered jointly taking on china now, jointly dealing with that of challenge has not resonated with the trump administration. however, it most to be said those similar message by the british which you and you can see that in the u. k. a u. s. threat agreement has a resonated with the americans. so it seems that there when it comes to the e mail, dean web, where the us, the things are going to have more challenges. thank you very much. and so far that reporting from brussels, israel is stepping up, it's offensive, and old and gaza. health officials say at least 60 palestinians have been killed in the latest attacks. this is a prime minister benjamin netanyahu as been criticized by allies over the west. and

then she went to jerry and prices, but he says he has a 3 pump plot. the 1st phase is improving basic food deliveries. the 2nd was the u . s. companies distribute food and the 3rd phase, the so called sterile zone, free of home us would be created where palestinians should move and receive aid is are those bill security car doors mocks here in solid, blue, and so called buffers? all those of the red pots of a map that divides gaza into several sections. no go areas are mocked with red stripes. the i was also said that palestinians who go to the plant stairwell zone in the south quote, don't necessarily go back. let's dig a bit deeper that and to bring in my references on shot. and she's a senior analyst on israel, palestine at the international crisis group, i think time. and she joins us from tel aviv now. my, what is the strategic purpose behind these so called sterile zones and gaza as

well. the stated claim of maintenance in the o and his government is that he wants to cut some us away from the population and come us out of the supply of aid. and basically dismantled from us as ability to govern the strip of israel claims that how much stays in power and keeps money by using the aid and selling it. but there is very little evidence of that. and humanitarian aid organizations have actually said that they have a very meticulous way of checking and that there has been very little uh, taking of a buy from us. so this claim has to be taken with some doubt. but the, the, the basic strategy is that israel wants to still defeat from us. we don't know exactly at what point israel will say that it has defeated from us. but it is now been clearly using aid and food, and starvation as a weapon in this war. on us. so you're saying this is not so much about

distribution of a demo and the creation of a temporary military buffers on. is it more of a long term vision then for the territory? well, if you listen to some parts of this and you have a coalition the far right and his government, they open, they want to take over all of this guy's a empty it. if it's posted, he ends and rebuild settlements, but even nothing yahoo himself said in a statement the the other night that the demands for him to end the war would include not only the release of the hostages and her mouse disarming, but also what he called the implementation of the trump plan, which as we know, trump said in february, but you know, guys and she should be relocated posted in, should leave guys a, this is a euphemism for forcible transfer, ethnic cleansing, depending on the term you'd like to use. so, you know, as well as kind of being quite open about the fact that it wants to empty guys of its palestinians. and i think it's pretty clear that it's also made guys

a completely and livable for most people who are surviving their. so whether or not this is going to be a long term occupation, something that i think many military officials in israel do not want to happen. and i think most israelis would agree is not in israel's interest. this is the trajectory that we are on, regardless of what you notice in yahoo is or isn't the same. now as we had now indicated that for people who go into the zones, for them every turn is no upset. and what does it mean by that? i mean, he means that he like to cleanse guys up. it's posted in, so you know, this is it's, it's almost something that you did a, it's not even a facade anymore. i mean, this is what he's saying. i mean, if you look at the, at the images of god, does that mean they don't have where to go back to they don't have running water or in some places they don't have running water or clean water. and israel has managed to really destroy guys. it hasn't exactly managed to destroy your boss or released the hostages, which are the war objectives. if you kicked people out and it destroyed the

infrastructure, you know, they could, they have nothing to come back to. they live in tents. and again, i don't see how this isn't is real security interest, so it's not achieving its work goals. it's, it's, you know, there's a lot of genocide, a language coming out of israeli government officials from the very beginning of the war. and now with the entry of the trump administration, as much as he's put the hostage deal uh, up front and center, he continues to arm israel and enable is ro to continue with what, what we see is the destruction and you know, of masturbation and possibly also mass displacement. so do you think that the creation of the stairwell is almost as ra? there was a step towards a solution or will it cause even more problems to everyone involved? it is a man made humanitarian catastrophe. it is not making any one safer. it is not getting us any closer to a solution. and what's very frustrating is that many of the many european countries

even are countries. they all agree that how much must be removed from power from us is willing to negotiate many aspects of the governance of the strip. obviously it's still holding hostages. obviously it's a violent tear group, but without negotiation, there will be no solution. there is no military solution to this problem using starvation using displacement. these things are, you know, making 2000000 people's lives miserable. i don't see how it's going to reach any solution in this notion of sterile zones or creating a new aid mechanism by private american companies. no, i don't think anyone thinks this is gonna work. this seems to be some kind of weird ploy by his route to avoid being incriminated for war crimes. and it's all very, very disconcerting and messy. my response on that from the international crisis group, i think time. thank you very much. thank you. and deliveries of food and that's enough stops. and strickland to gaza again is rather suspended

most aid from entering the territory since mid months. it's at the low cables, part of it strategy to talk to him us. but to minute terry and organization say the age coming in now falls far short of meeting the basic needs of the civilian population. it's been weeks since this bakery last fired up. it's of in the lack of supplies for the owner to close. as guys ran out of wheat flour and cooking fuel 2 months ago. as 8 begins to trickle back into the strip. workers are producing brett for thousands of people in need. symbolically, you know, the middle of a prize, but here's the smell of how once we brought is anything, you know, turned off, but we hold the fluid remain open and we'll be able to bring money into guys, 2200000 people on guys. almost everyone depends on the inside.

in a desperately home, we thousands crowded, some of the trucks and swing the stream, trying to secure a bag of flour. when to this we is royal. have forbidden all is humanitarian. 8 and spring gaza since the beginning of march saying how mass was stealing and profiting from it. the palestinian authority has administered says more than 25 children and elderly people have died from starvation in recent days and has warrant thousands more are at risk down since main hospital is over whelmed with children suffering from the effect of the blow paid for the session since i gave birth, i keep spending time in the hospital isn't that is yeah, i leave for

a few days so i need to return again. he's malnourished, has infections everywhere to some months of blood infection. how do you there's no baby formula. there's no milk tools here on the for sure. hadn't been mowed around . according to the u. n. children's agency, more than $9000.00 children have been treated for malnutrition this year. as some food and medicine finally arrives, josh is still under the environmental, which is what i was saying. it will escalate its military operations, making 8 deliveries, even more difficult. that's updates, you know, and some of the other stores in the headlines. diplomats from iran in the united states. so i'm meeting enrolled for the 5th round of talks over to ron's nuclear program. the usa needs to limit the ron's uranium enrichment program and exchange for lifting sanctions. donald trump pulled out of

a previous agreements during his 1st term and office rescue as in south africa trying to reach nearly 300 minus trapped on the ground. the operates of the mine west of johannesburg, says all the work is safe and will be which to the surface. they were trapped by the damage chopped stones in china is southwest. we shall providence have caused land slides killing at least 4 people, and sweeping warehouses and roads authorities of issue to dissolves, to walk heavy rain and in china is the southern region skilled at least 7 people last week to of your freight in sources have told you that a major prisoner spoke with russia has begun. $1000.00 soldiers from each side could be exchanged over several dates. once the swap was agreed during the 1st direct talks between chief and most often, it goes since 2022. the go see ations and it's tumble last last week,

failed to deliver a significant breakthrough despise international pressure for us. these 5 w is eastern europe and it's a roman gun. try and go told us more about this exchange. oh, i think it's safe to say that this will press taking place at the moment. it is unclear how many prisoners will forward the detainees have been exchanged if it's been the major as well. one day 1000 people for each side or maybe 3 or $400.00 and then in the next day or days there will be another swap or another swap. so um um we have just talked to our sources who are there? uh, they are still waiting for those who are exchanged to arrive at a set of settings center why journalists are waiting. and it is okay that it's taking a few hours because some people may be sick. they will need to probably medical

care now, so relatives will be given time to talk to the people they probably haven't seen for 3 years. but anyway, and it's, it's a major development, and it is to be seen as a ice breaking stop following that negotiations between russia and ukraine in east timbo a few days ago. but on the other hand, russia is not showing any signs of being ready for a compromise on the show of a c spy. and so expectations could be lower. what could come in the coming days of those talks about those talks? i planned and they will happen probably next week, or maybe in early june w, as in europe editorial, i'm gonna try and call this thank you. roman. as we've had the latest business web follows the 1st direct tools which in russia and ukraine in more than 3 years. the w as rebecca ritz, as has been speaking to one mother and keith, who enjoyed

a long ways and spend the time campaigning for her son's release. it was the last time i saw she was in december 2 months. it's been 2 once. he came home just for vacation, she always came for his father's birthday and nods and breast grow. t on his son. tim has spent the last 3 years in a russian prison. a. he was a soldier and ukraine's as of regiment. defending the city of mary paul through its 3 month long siege. the city would eventually full, and his russian troops encircled tatiana received what would be the last communication from his son? yeah, i received the next semester from him in the evening where she rolled, that there would be no contact for a long time. but don't worry, everything is really fine. i love you. and i'm proud of my parents. just days later, that ukraine's commander in chief ordered the last remaining as of troops to surrender with the promised states to be exchanged and returned to ukraine. 3 years

on autumn and hundreds of others from his regiment remain in russian custody. along with thousands of all the soldiers and civilians in the 21st century, children are in such torture chambers. i'm a mother, i can't do anything. the worst thing is that i understand that at this moment he can be tortured. he can be the, i don't know what to do with him. i've come to any same. instead she lobbies, her government, who she believes should be doing visits. i'm not sure it seems to me that i will government is doing a lot, but they could do better. there are many questions about how the prison exchange lists are formed. where is the guarantee that it's your son who gets the no one can explain this to us. every single day for more than a year, tiana has made the 2 hour round trip into keith to hand deliver a letter of petition to the president's office. the lack of acknowledgement adds to the pain, is that when you make pressure,

at least feel that you're doing something that you're not sitting for too much, you're just doing what you can doing what she can until she can do what she really wants to be. i will hook him and say that i love him more than anything in the world. the best, the most valuable that i have without thinking, i would get everything i have for him. in the us hobbits, university is to challenge and order by the trump administration. the bands that from enrolling foreign students, the ivy league institution says the order is illegal, more than a quote for 5 of the students from overseas. and the shocks and they'll face an uncertain future in the future of thousands of students at stake at one of the most prestigious universities in the world. more than $6000.00 students enrolled at

harvard, could now lose their spots after the department of homeland security informed the university that it's not only bored from accepting new students from overseas. that current international students on certain visa types would also have to transfer to another university or risk losing their legal status in the us ever since i was a kid um, harvard has represented, you know, the sort of like the epitome of higher education globally. so, so basically it is, it makes sure of like shocked into kind of just, you know, you know, the devastation, you know, like frustration and then uncertainty, anxiety. you know, i use a combination of all of those feelings. i would say among students in the community and right now from is furious at the university for rejecting his demand to grant

the administration oversight on admissions and hiring. he has accused harvard of being a hot bed of anti semitism. quote, woke liberal ideology. his administration already froze billions of dollars and future research grants and other a to the ivy league institution. trump administration has also been cracking down on international students elsewhere, provoking visas for a range of given reasons, from their involvement and pro palestinian activism to minor traffic violations. last month, china, which has the highest number of international students in the us, shooter warning advising students to closely monitor political developments they're considering studying in the states. now, china is accusing the us of politicizing, the educational exchange. to me to the u. s. china educational cooperation is mutually beneficial. china is consistently

a post politicizing education. this will only harm the u. s. as image and international standing. critics, warren implications can go far beyond harvard's gates, that the us maybe shutting the doors that made at the top destination for the world's brightest minds. now that's the bringing cornelia versus the president of the how to school berlin and to profess of international political economy. now the homeland security of secretary says this action being taken because harvard has failed to adhere to the law harvest as in turn, cold, b o, the unlawful. what's your take? well, i think this is quite clearly just the latest of a long list of attacks with one single objective and that is to bring harvard university to its knees. the fig leaves the protection of the 2 students or the fight against the liberal and okay, the ology are the items that are sizes. but what you can clearly see is that some

of the measures the trunk government has put into place really target the resources, the university house in order to continue its operations. so we 1st saw a freezing of public funds, completely independent of any of the content that it was used for. we saw fight over the tax benefits for the endowment and for the property desktop it owns. and now it's an attack on the tuition revenue. this target can house the, from the student body and from enrollment of the force of the students that come from overseas. so it is an attack only economic resources of an institution that will not follow down to the list of demands that the end of the use administration expects. it's to follow. how do you expect this to affect american, the american scientific landscape of the attack on habits and on all other universities? it's a real blow to the scientific landscape that the united states have built. and that has been the appeal to me of what scientists aspire to, because of course,

harvard's might be able to resist, might be able to be successful in the legal responses that is currently doing. but the anxiety that students feel that researches feel is going to last as long as this government has in place. and as long as it is clear that government really can intervene with much for us in the free a science that is supposed to be produced in these universities. so it creates a context of uncertainty that leads to international student mobility going into other directions and they will lead to also to researchers thinking differently about where they wants to apply when they are looking for a job or where they want to do their research projects. i do not know to what ends up will distribute flows in the world, but i do know that it is a big blow to the us, us scientific masking, talking about these flows of ways such as in the world, many upset,

this could be the start of a brain drain in the us and you and other researches have suggested that effective researches could be off of the fresh stalled in germany. what would that look like? briefly, if you can so i think it is very important to signal a to everybody, including the trump administration, that research goals enormous society value, economic value. it is really an asset that it's an asset that this government is willing to destroy. and if that is true, then it's important that there is competition over these assets. and that countries everywhere signal that they understand the value of research and scientific insights and that they're willing to host the researchers. and these projects that can no longer do their research and uh, and also possibly some of the infrastructure of the data, etc. so that it doesn't get lost. so i think yes, that could be a brain drain simply because the researchers are more vile. um, students are immobile and it is clear that the research environment in the us that

used to be of the highest standard is getting less attractive. but i think it is important also to understand that in the being a host to these researchers as a country, as or as a region, there's a european program fall to 0 for science. means that we can allow the global scientific advances to continue. because we can host the some of the projects we can allow them to be interconnected across the borders. and we, we would all hope that this will eventually also mean that the us can be part of these networks. and sometimes the scientists may want to return possibly through a period of uncertainty. quite commonly of all of that president of the half the school in burling. thank you very much. i thank you for having you watch like the, the news on the top story. donald trump is calling for 50 percent terrace, an old impulse from the european union. the west president is blaming the youthful

maintaining a string of onset practices on trade with america. and that's it from me and the news team for now coming up eco, in the looking at the potential benefits of a full maybe it's me and gather thanks for watching the,

the co india just watching it died without getting any kind of heat. you know that saturating should not be that that was the turning point for an a half punch in mia. she and her team has been rescuing animals in distress ever since small and large. and the best part is renewed because he's been back out. they don't even don, the eco indian next on d w to the point, strong opinions, clear positions, international perspectives. the vatican is in the spotlight as it could host the

solutions, the future is 77 percent. every weekend on dw, the, we share a relationship with so many animals around us, from our bets to those on the streets or in the schools, and even the ones that end up on object. hello and welcome. i'm finally got the body and all watching equal india. it is surprising and even alarming how dp choices and our relationships with the animals around us in fact and shape.
