Er ist also sehr vielmehr die minority voice. Es kann also sein, dass sie, wenn sie das ohne ihn entschieden haben, das als eine gewiss Entscheidung gemacht haben. In der Vergangenheit ist er in der Raum geblieben und Entscheidungen wurden gemacht. Aber er ist sicherlich der Thorn in der Seite von vielen der wichtigen EU-Führer in der Ukraine.
These aren't just words. He is really hoping that what happens today is that some of these pledges manifest to hard commitments and things that make a difference on the battlefield. Of course, this is an emergency summit, so whether or not we get some big agreement at the end of it, I think, is unlikely.
But it is symbolic, and we saw the hands on the shoulder there, the fact that they were standing shoulder to shoulder, President Zelensky and the people who really are figureheads. In Europe, that sends a message. It sends a message to Vladimir Putin. And of course, in these extraordinary times, it sends a message to President Trump in the White House, too.
Another thing to bear in mind is that the decisions that are taken here in this format at this summit, they're always unanimous. So all 27 leaders have to agree. And the problem comes in the form of Victor Orban. He's the Hungarian leader. He's close to Putin. He's more sympathetic to Moscow than probably any other member of the European Union.
He's said that he can't put his name to any sort of words on Ukraine, which may or may not say we'll be with Ukraine for as long as it takes, because Mr Orban's argument is that the facts have changed. You've got the White House talking to the Kremlin directly, President Trump... wanting to talk more with President Putin. And so Mr. Orban is saying, well, look, Europe should follow suit.
It should be picking up the phone, talking to President Putin, trying to bring about peace. So I think that could be one stumbling block. But it's worth pointing out that in the past, they have actually got round this when they've made decisions when Mr. Orban has left the room. So there has been some quite careful choreography that's worked out and they've been able to make a decision.
Getting more aid into Gaza was a key component of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. But on Sunday Israel said it was stopping aid crossings, calling on Hamas to agree to extend the first phase of the ceasefire. Aid agencies are now warning the blocking of relief is having a significant impact.
The World Food Programme told the BBC it had enough stock to provide assistance to Gazans for less than two weeks. It warned if crossings into Gaza remain closed, it may have to further reduce rations. Christian Aid, which operates in the Strip, said market prices had increased by as much as a quarter, with some goods like meat, fish and imported vegetables starting to disappear altogether.
Christian Aid also said the lack of relief risked what they called an even greater humanitarian catastrophe if aid deliveries don't resume soon.
A sea of Romanian flags in central Bucharest. Last Saturday, tens of thousands of Romanians marched through their capital in support of Kalin Georgescu, a 62-year-old agricultural engineer who says he wants to put Romania first. I asked Dragos, a Romanian living in Canada, what he's protesting against.
Viele in der Gruppe verurteilen die Krieg in der Ukraine nicht an Russland, sondern an dem, was sie als globale Elite sehen. Sie verurteilen das aktuelle rumänische Regierung, dass sie ein Puppet dieser Elite ist, während ihre Kritiker ihren Helden, Kalin Georgescu, als ein Puppet der Russen verurteilen.
So you want Mr. Georgescu to win the election?
Lavinia is marching with her husband, Sherban, and their three-year-old daughter, watching it all wide-eyed from her push chair, astonished by the commotion all around her.
I can see who you are for, but who or what are you against?
Back in December, Romania came under US pressure from the outgoing Biden administration, as well as its NATO allies in Europe, to prevent Kalin Georgescu's victory. Now the Trump administration is pressuring Romania to let him run. Their response was dramatic. In a series of raids across the country, police discovered gold bullion, cash and an arsenal of weapons.
They belonged to Horatio Potra, a former soldier in the French Foreign Legion, who backs Kalin Georgescu in the May election.
Das sind ziemlich ernsthafte Angelegenheiten, die gegen die konstitutionelle Ordnung konspieren. Die Mitgliedschaft einer neofaschistischen Organisation, Antisemitismus. Du glaubst das nicht?
Georgescu hat mit Potra fotografiert, der auch Militärs in Afrika rannte. Und Potra hat kein Geheimnis von seinem Unterstützung für Georgescu gemacht, obwohl es nicht klar ist, was die Verwaltungen in der Gerichtssitzung beweisen werden können. Aber die Anzeichen gegen ihn können ausgesprochen werden, um ihn aus dem Stand in der Mai-Elektion zu disqualifizieren.
If you look at the photographs, the videos online of Great Blaski, it does look glorious. Beautiful rocks, the wildlife as well. But Camille, it's going to be quite tough at times, isn't it?
James, do you lose the thing that everyone's obsessed with these days, the mobile phone, or despite the lack of electricity supply, can you still do that?
