03:31which continues to not show concrete signals in the negotiation path,
03:37insists on attacks against civilians, perseveres in beating the indispensable infrastructure for the population.

04:20That's why I'm announcing today the UK's biggest package of drones into Ukraine this year.
04:28Over 120,000 new drones will be delivered from the UK into Ukraine.
04:35We'll also provide hundreds of thousands of artillery rounds and thousands of air defense missiles,
04:40which together will help Ukraine defend its territory and strike back against Russian aggression.

05:46after President Donald Trump earlier indicated that the war could be over very soon
05:51and that a deal is near.
05:54We've remained very much engaged in these negotiations, in these talks.
05:58You heard from the vice president directly and the president this week
06:01that these conversations are productive and ongoing, and that's where we are right now.
06:06We feel good about the prospects of a deal.
06:08The president mentioned that in his interview yesterday,
06:10and it's obviously in the best interest of Iran to meet the president's demands.
06:14I think he's made his red lines in these negotiations very clear to the other side,
06:19and so we are continuing to see how these conversations go.

06:56The talks are taking place in Washington and are mediated by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
07:01The number one objective at this stage is the end of hostilities and the cessation of the violence.
07:09Lebanon has paid an extremely high price and continues to pay an extremely high price,
07:14both in terms of death, injured, as well as massive displacement.
07:18More than 2,000 Lebanese have been killed and around 1.2 million people have been internally displaced
07:25since Israel launched an air offensive, followed by a grand invasion in March.
07:30Asked how Lebanon would circumvent Hezbollah's demilitarization refusal
07:35while seeking to convince Israel to end hostilities,

08:27We stayed at that point, that the Prime Minister will be able to refer to the current situation
08:32to the current situation as possible.
08:33He thinks he is what he thinks, and I think everyone thinks,
08:36that the Hungarian government's interest is that,
08:38that after a strong decision-making,
08:41after a strong decision-making,
08:42it will be able to make it faster.
08:43The government's decision-making and the government's decision-making is.
08:46I said to him, that if he doesn't have a decision-making,
08:49then we will have to live with the decision-making,
08:53the decision-making and the basic decision-making and the necessary decision-making
08:56to make the decision-making,
08:58that the government's decision-making is.

10:57The relationship of Italy with the U.S. is a relationship that goes on for a few years, no?
11:02It doesn't concern the single government.
11:05We try to do our best, clearly in a given context,
11:09considering the U.S. a strategic ally and priority ally.
11:14But when we are friends, when we have allies, particularly if we are strategic,
11:18we must also have the courage to say when we are not in agreement,
11:20which is what I do every day.
11:22When I am in agreement, I say to be in agreement.
11:24When I am in agreement, I say to not be in agreement,
11:26because I believe that this will do well to Europe, to the U.S. and to the Occident in general.
11:31Following Trump's attacks, Meloni simply reiterated the point
11:34that being allies does not mean being subject.
11:36She declared,
11:37Here to help on that
