the, the business needs to be news live from the land. china as president, makes his 1st trip to europe in 5 years. she didn't being as arrived at his 1st destination, bronze trade tensions, and the was in ukraine in the mid least likely to top the agenda as role close as the main entry point for 8 into the guys a strip after and attacked by how most a minute and group claims responsibility in saying it was targeting is really soldiers in the area and prospect policies. find guys, a peer slim after talks in cairo and without

a deal as role and how much fail to agree on the lens of a choose the, i'm telling me all logical. welcome to the program. chinese president. she didn't being has arrived in france kicking off his 1st trip to the you since 2019. she is due to meet with the french president, a manual ma call on monday. later in the weeks, the chinese president will continue on to serbia and hungry. the 2 countries that are seen as close to the aging you need, those are divided over how to deal with china. i made it's going global influence and economic might us more of this. we are joined now by kelly rico from washington dc. she's a senior fellow at the think tank stimson center. welcome to dw category. now,

what do you think is the main aim for shooting pain during this visit to europe? i well, thank you for having me. i would say the main goal here is really damage control you do as a result of the war and you create as well as rising trade disputes. china. the meet your pin view of china has really taken a hit. and this is really and a time for him to come there the 1st time in 5 years and tried to reset relations and put them perhaps back more on a more pragmatic cooperative study. but looking at the different european countries, are they all sort of unified in terms of the stance towards china? no, not at all. and this i think is very much reflected either you can see the difference is in the language for this. for example, great britain uses versus germany. um or, you know, certain certainly serbia, or hungry, you know, i don't think it's an accident. the 3 countries that he's visiting,

including france and that varying degrees, friends, serbia, hungry. i agree and some, to some degree with the chinese about the need for it and not to just be a us versus the china choice. the country is navigating a 3rd way either. this is certainly with the practice of replies to this sort of college leadings. i've been talking about strategic autonomy and strategic sovereignty. and so i think he's trying in the visit to remind europe that there is another path. one that actually has significant economic opportunities, which i'm sure will be highlighted when he visits serbia hungry. and of course, the 1st is meeting him on on a crawl, friends can my call and get excusing ping to use his influence over russia to bring an end to the one you claim. so yes, i think this is certainly one of the things that will be discussed during their tops and the french, i would say a mom. european leaders at home is the one who believes the most strongly. it seems

that beijing does have some leverage to help move rush out towards negotiating table. i don't expect to actually see much progress made on this issue at the moment in part, because i think the russians are so believe they can win militarily on the battlefield. and so i think it will be hard for the chinese to make a lot of movement. the issue i was looked at to see if we have progress is that they're supposed to be a you creating a peace conference in switzerland, in mid june. and the chinese have been non committal about attending that the russians are, will not be there. and if we see any evidence, the chinese might send some kind of delegation to that, even if it's low level, that would be a positive development. and we talked about the different the 3 countries um, changing things going to fond sylvia and hungry, but brussels is not on the agenda. can we read much into that? yes, i think that's interesting. i mean, we do know that the european commission president will be attending some of the

topics with my own representing the european union there. and so i think this is, you know, the russians to, as our chinese tend to prefer bilateral relationships and pursuing by level diplomacy. and so i think to a large extent that was reflected here and in the opting to meet with a heads of state of various countries and not the european union itself. okay, how often is it that can agree goes in your fellow with the re imagining us grand strategy, a program at the stimson center? thank you very much for speaking to us. thank you. are now israel has closed the term, shall on border crossing into guys as to how much the launch and attack on it is really media is say 3 soldiers were killed. it was military release. this footage that a claim shows a mass of fights as firing at the crossing. the madison group has claimed responsibility for the attack saying it was targeting is ready soldiers in the area . the cam shalom crossing is the main entry point for 8 into the guys. a strip

adults between negotiate is trying to reach a guy is a ceasefire. i have ended in cairo without a deal. how much the officials at his delegation. we tend to don't have, for further consultations, palestinians and guys that have been getting that helps on the outcome of the tools, hoping temporary truce would allow them to return to their homes. but in israel hopes of fading that a deal acceptable to both sides can be reached at all. demonstrates as they are divided about the government's military operations and sci fi efforts. as. 8 these is really protest is demanding the government push on with this plan for a military operation in brussel in southern gaza. many of them are relatives of soldiers killed in the war. they believe a rough are encouraged and is the best way to pressure how much to release these really hostages. it still holds. visiting troops in

the central gaza strip is riley defense minister. you'll have gallant, indicated that he agrees with the protest as a knuckle is a snare, a concerning signals that thomas is not planning to accept any deal or agreement with us. issue with the risk you meet the much mo, this means in operation and rough uh and then the anti strip record in the very near future will build the guidelines, sentiments what a code in a video message for me is right, the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, the audit to show the contributes relating to how most of the mountains would be of terrible defeat. for israel, it would be a great victory for our mouth drawn in vx as an evil. it would show great weakness to our friends and enemies. bring the next to our closer and push the next piece agreement. by the way so little more about the outside netanyahu's office in jerusalem. thousands of protesters made it clear that they don't share his feelings,

that we are calling for saying yes to the deal of the hostage released you to release as many hostages as we can while they're still alive. the hostages are there for $212.00 days. the deal we're talking now about about now is the humanitarian deal. it's for elderly people, it's for 6 people. it's for young women and they can't last there anymore. we know that hostages are dying all the time. and if we don't reduce them now, we don't know who will have to the slater was a temporary true school. so the humanitarian dissolved across the board. the in gaza. the you and says pulse of the strip or wendy experiencing from and earlier on sunday is well close. had him shut on, a keyboard crossing used by any of the homeless militants attacks it. following the attack is riley tanks could be seen moving along the bowl defends in
