the the, this is dw news live from berlin, us, vice president, cala harris, up to the pressure on israel to agree to a truce and gaza. there must be an immediate faith buyer, but it's rarely forces intensify operations in southern gaza. also coming up us supreme court rules in favor of donald trump, the justices unanimously rejecting an attempt by the state of colorado to block trump from its ballot. but it clears up just some of the legal troubles facing the republican presidential front product plus germany denies. it's invested or was

summoned by the kremlin. russia says that the envoy was called in over a lead reporting of the german generals discussing the ukraine war for land, maintains the investors meetings, most routine. and dw speaks with kids from ukraine raising awareness of thousands like themselves, abducted to russia, the sarah kelly. welcome to the program, mediators are raising to broker a cease fire and gaza before the holy muslim month of ramadan gets underway next week. gotta egypt, and the us have been holding talks in cairo, seeking a truce, and the 5 month war between israel and mos, which is seen as a terrorist organization by several nations. us officials have said israel has broadly of proved, a deal said repeatedly to us,

vice president. cala harris is calling for an immediate cease fire in gaza for at least the next 6 weeks. president or comments are the strongest by the us administration. official on israel since the war started. she's hosting benny guns on monday, a member of israel's more time cabinet. new york harris says that the sci fi would benefit both sides. and given the amends scale of suffering in gaza, there must be an immediate cease fire or at least the next which is what is currently on the table. this will get the hostages out and get a significant amount of 80 in and with egyptian media reporting that significant progress has been made and the cease fire talks. i asked the journalist kareem

alcohol right in cairo for the latest a quite a bit. so 1st of all, very, very sketchy news. we don't have any refresher statement said we know that the how must indication egyptian intelligence, the customer immediate us and us intelligence of sitting together in cairo. now we have to egyptian state media reporting that there is significant progress without any from the substance or defense uh, what this process parenthesis mines in paid. but one of the problems yesterday, one of the sticking points. why the is there any indication? did not show up in cairo, was that the x rays demanded and this is from home us about it who is going to be released, the names who is still alive, who is injured, who is that they wanted to have more details about the hostages. and how most refuse to give this the test, they say this will be given when there will be finally

a ceasefire. and the other thing which is also may be important, but also not confirmed it. so that's it from these really media. there are reports that the, these right is a no, not any longer demanding this list and the, that the, the modeling, just the number of people, the number of hostages, who us, the life. but a very important all this reports are not really officially confront. and we're also getting reports and this, this is what the united states are saying is that israel has already agreed to a framework for a proposal. and they are saying now that it's up to him off to respond to that proposal. so, you know, how does things now progress and move forward to yes, we know that the old sites that we took, the framework and the framework is a 6 week tools and the, and there was a get, a sense free about 40 is range and hostages in exchange for the 10 phone number of

palestinians in. ready really presents we have about 9000 policy isn't. is there any prisoners for many of them at children's $3000.00 of them was on this else any former try and so it no one of the points. this is a point where they both sites are not agree. this point is going to be released on the policy inside exchange for the is there any hostages, these read yesterday presented a list of punish tuesday out? not willing to is it sets free. so i think that's one of the main discussion points in this position to that. how much is also asking for guarantees that this process of assessing 3 more hostages and then later possibly even more should end up in a permanent fuse for the ceasefire. basically in the end of the war, that is something that is right is not willing to accept it. i think this is one of

the main contradictions in this whole legal she, since we have here 2 sites negotiating, it basically is one that is regression thing with home us who at the same time, one of the pointed to the goals of this war is the destruction of from us, and this is something of course, this is decisive for all the decisions. both sides make note within this negotiation process. journalist kareem alcohol, right in cairo. thank you. you're welcome. i and elsewhere in the world, the u. s. supreme court has ruled, of states cannot keep former president donald trump off of the 2024 ballot. the unanimous ruling strikes down, colorado is fed to bar trump from its presidential primary. colorado support removed the former president from its valid in december, so exciting a constitutional ban on insurrection. this running for office, similar attempts had been made in other states,

pointing to trump the roll in the january 6th attack on the us capital. the supreme court's decision applies nationwide. 15 states including colorado hold their primaries this week on super tuesday. janelle do milan jones us now from washington dc. so you know, tell us a little bit more about what the court had to say as well. the supreme court has unanimously ruled that donald trump can stay on the ballot and a very big win for the former president and one with far ranging implications. it basically ends all challenges to his candidacy that revolves around section 3 of the 14th amendment banning insurrection is from holding office. so as such, it will not only apply to colorado, but nationwide. we know that there were similar challenges in illinois and in maine . so this ruling would put that to rest as well. now,

one of the key sticking points, and one that we heard a lot during the oral argument, is that it would be difficult to justify having individual states decide for the rest of the country. who can appear on the ballot and who can't, if different conclusions are arrived at in different places. well, that could definitely lead to some amount of chaos. now embedded also within this ruling is this opinion from the supreme court that it would be quote, critical for congress to decide when section 3 could be involved under which standards and how it would spend to be enforced. so using this argument appears to have been a long shot, but it was an important question to clarify ahead of super tuesday. colorado is one of the states, of course, going into a primary tomorrow. now donald trump and true donald trump fashion has already responded to this ruling, saying that it is

a big win for america. and we also have to mention, you know, he's on track to quench the republican party's nomination as, as the presidential candidate of course. but, you know, this isn't his only legal end table bent janelle, to any of the other trials, pose a danger to his election bed. indeed now the thing with this particular supreme court ruling is that it only rules on this very, very narrow question of whether trump is eligible to appear on the ballot. what it, what it does not, for example, tell us is whether the supreme court thinks that. so donald trump engage in an insurrection, which is obviously the conclusion that, that entities in colorado and maine and illinois have arrived that. but, you know, if we look at, for example, the january 6th, federal election interference case put forward by special council jack smith. he,

he doesn't charge donald trump with suspicious conspiracy or inciting an insurrection. in fact, of those cases centered around disenfranchising folders or trying to defraud the us government as well as of obstructing a congressional proceeding. so in the case that cases, for example, in limbo because trump has challenged it within immunity claim, saying that he's immune from prosecution for acts committed while he was president . now, since the supreme court has agreed to hear that immunity case in the spring, that pushes the trial forward closer to the elections. now if there were only to be a verdict to come after the election, and donald trump wins that elections and it might not matter because he could use, he could use his presidency to pardon himself or get the department of justice to junk the case. so a lot of questions are still unresolved,

including how these cases will impact his bid for the presidency. washington correspondent, janelle, do milan. thank you. here's a look at some other stories making headlines or more than 40 governments are calling for an international investigation into the death of russian opposition leader alexi and of all the countries including the us and the member states. express outrage at the un human rights council. they accuse president vladimir putin of being responsible for an of all new stuff. ukraine says that a railway bridge blown up in russia some our region was being used to transport military supplies. you currently and intelligence has confirmed the crossing was destroyed, but has not said that it carried out the attack. russia has blame to crane for recent strikes on its infrastructure. german trade union verity has called

a 2 day strike of tons of airline ground staff. the union wants to pay rises of at least $500.00 zeros a month. trained drivers have also announce strikes later this week, talks with well operator to a to bon over pay and conditions have broken down. the german government has denied russian media reports that berlin's and bassett, or was summoned to the kremlin. the claim follows the week of a conversation between german generals about weapons for ukraine. berlin says the ambassador arrived for a plan meeting, not a summons. he refused to answer questions from russian journalist. in the leach recording, published by a russian state broadcaster r t. senior officers discuss the potential use of german made tourist cruise missiles to attack the purch bridge in occupied. pry me up. germany's defense minister boris the story as has accused russia of conducting an information more

tickets. i'm boy, this is clearly about undermining our unity because it's about splitting our domestic politics a part time. and i very much hope that putin doesn't manage that to link does that we remain united despite any disagreements over the tourist issue and all the questions that need to be onset telephone in the end, it's crucial that we remain united and not allow ourselves to be divided by 210, that's exactly what he wants and we need to stand united against that. so that was the response from the german defense minister. earlier i asked, are russia affairs analyst konstantin accurate for more about how moscow is framing? this rush is trying to frame. it's versus the media and the foreign ministry, and all the propagandist, they are trying to frame it to the classic way of feeding into pollutants may narrative uh, theme you great. russia is not a tool with ukraine as such, but with nature and need to seriously considering, uh,

sending sending soldiers to the brand new and sort which of course, the gremlins as will be a red line that does not advise the west of groups. so essentially, this is used to strengthen domestically the idea that russia is fighting the whole of the west in you grain and externally. why social media of i the, the, the sort of the network of also pro western symbols, a west and supervisors of the gremlins, especially with extreme rights and extreme left. the idea is also simple. you see all these people in nasal, the americans and the germans approving of the west into direct confrontation with russia. this should be stopped. so i think these other 2 messages they're going to use, how much mileage can moscow potentially get out of this as well? it depends, i think that domestically they will exploited to the full and with the russian

public being wrote generally pretty much ignore it, about western narratives and western decision making. good with what? i think externally that is frankly speaking, it big scoop for the grandmother because it gives a munition to all those that basically wants and a 2 grand to be seized for all those one kind of compromise with a granite and that'd be expensive. be great. this is an extra m all. this is an extra proof that you know, we will ride to alone. there should be beast rushes, distraught to ignore. i think that in this respect, i'm afraid to say this is a success of quotes for the russian intelligence which bought the drum jones and that was constantine aggregate speaking with me earlier, a group of ukrainian children having visiting the us to help raise awareness of mass abductions by russia, ukrainian authorities estimate at least 19000 children have been forcibly relocated

from ukraine to russia since russia's full scale invasion 2 years ago, though, using us pull reports from washington dc. so i saw you on kiera victim. so 1st i swore in ukraine as the 3 children were adopted by russian soldiers during the brutal siege of mario pool 2 years ago. often most of the parents were killed indeed tech. they travel to washington to share their stories and seek support from lawmakers to continue funding ukraine. why we're working very hard with wondrous and the white house and everyone on the additional supplementary budget. this issue kids and especially having their voice as a having brave 11 year old, 13 year old saying i wanted to go back home. i am ukrainian, i didn't want to be turned into russian and they, they were holding me again my,

my will, this is such a powerful message. the organizers hall trying to avoid re traumatizing the children by having them repeat their stories multiple times. they have provided pre taped interviews for an event at the ukraine house, or say, i know what to say. i'm one minute but a but so so the to pretty almost and you or she will hear me too when in the, in the building and when you pull for such as lovely. this is the in the bush you do most of mama read a my mind the police only me please on the glues available separately. you hello. yep. letter 0 to $1.00 and there's a girl. it's a few moments later we talked with a 13 year old sa shaw, and the 14 year old kiera outside too young to be sure, and i've done it, but it my hopeful victory, and for my mazda to return your money. i dream of becoming

a firefighter. somebody i dream of helping people and, and the most difficult situation for me at the shop i'm at the i remember lying in the hospital with injuries as they told me, i might be taken to, nor financial, but of them to a grandfather managed to rescue her but i was very relieved because i was afraid it wouldn't be possible for them to bring me back to me. as of right, the grandfather traveled with her to washington. you too, at the shooting place that i need to do to the children, another future over any country, the children of the future of our ukrainian and my opinion by taking away children from our country. there is simply trying to do private, our country over the future. with issue, so i am seeking help to assist and bring back our children longer. there was a shit and i shall be to at least $20000.00 ukrainian children are still being held

hostage. these 3 are among the $300.00 which was being rescued. they are using their voices to help free those who weren't as fortunate and ukrainian authorities estimate that at least 19000 children have been forcibly taken to russia. i asked of, i saw salad for coffee if from save the children ukraine, for his assessment sort of the short answer is that there is no sort of another sort of very fight or end to secure number that we can operate with. somebody have different estimations provided by a russian and by you create a government government. but in stock, the short answer is that's we don't know. and this brings so much complexity to the issue because we're not able to properly praise those children as it. and as a matter of fact, i know people to 100 percent uh, fully facilitate their return anyway. if occasion was that families can you give us

a window into what happens to some of them? i just want to talk to you about the children that are beings that have been separated from their families. there is so much a people and uncertainty for them because they are being put to an area environment . and often they even have not and chance to put you in and see to be able to contact the parents or relatives, or maybe even to know what they are afraid to use. and it makes them so vulnerable on so many levels viable for home, abuse, ex rotation or even a being trafficked and to say the children, our main concern is of course children smell be as this we all facilitating the research as well. local partners here in ukraine, we have been able to witness this atrocious often. mazda children have a problem being returned to their families. and we know taste is when children

could not spend a minute to wait from the parents. upon being returned, legible and required weeks of psycho social support and psychological work before being able to interact with other children again and do simple things as just go to school and you know, the, the 10s of thousands believe to have been abducted. we have to mention that only a few 100 actually have been returned or rescued. so far. you mentioned that you're working with partners, give us a sense of, of how you're partners, how you crane, as well as going about finding some of these children. and then bringing the back. so it looks we've seen so far just to serious of sporadic returns and the most effective vice, as far as proven to be just parents. are they going they, i'm taking their children by, been facilitated by civil society organizations. and some major does what we really

see is that the search party diplomacy is also playing a very success control. and this, judging by the returns that caught off, for example facilitators. but when we're talking about thousands of children, be forcibly taken to russia, we need some sort of a structure, some sort of a mechanism. and when we can not expect any sort of a diplomatic panel being established in the near future between ukraine and russia, it is important that search parties engaged into this situation and facilitate this pro just process as well as international doing us. and we as charge what attachments are in organizations are involved into tackling the optim us. it's actually pro coffee if uh with say, is the children, ukraine. thank you so much. here are some other stories with me headlines. the european union has find apple 1800000000 euros. it says apple was on fairly

preventing spot of fi and other music streamers from informing users of payment options outside of its app store. apple is to appeal to penalty. so much about the service has been sworn in as a prime minister of pakistan the ceremony. and as long as god follows last month's general election, which was marked by allegations of both breaking and violence, the most popular party was disqualified. sharif is returning to power with political tension. so unresolved law. the leaders of the democratic republic of congo and rwanda are to hold talks on the regions long running conflict. congo accuses rolanda of supporting the m $23.00 rebel group, which is waging an insurgency in eastern congo for wanda denies the claim. the latest fighting between the rebels and congo, these army has erupt in your goma and the towns of saki sha sean and ramada.

hundreds of thousands of civilians are flame. when claudine arrived with a 2 children of discount on the outskirts of goma, she failed to leave. but only briefly. she's one of the newest, internally displaced persons here. the un estimates of the fighting has driven 800000 people to seek refuge in this city alone. despite claudine being a fresh race that's come, the 20 year old is not a new tool. she was born into the conflict and it continues to rob her. her loved ones, i saw them killed my friend. we were on our way to my saucy, and there was a lot of gunfire. that's when my friend got shot in the head. keith. so he, claudine is running from the m $23.00 rebels. who's resurgence in recent years has fueled violence and humanitarian crises in the area. with the ripples gaining more and more ground inland becomes further east of buckling under the pressure and the

advance mixed fluid in fearful that it's only a matter of time before the conflict catches up with a. i mean those i'm scared when i hear that m. 23 is getting closer. i feel that things are not ok in my body. in the capital contessa, the focus is on diplomacy of to previously accusing rundle backing up to into 3 rebels companies. president felix do security has extended un only branch saying he's now open to meeting the runs and counterpart. gigante has consistency denied any links to m. 23. talks between the 2 sides have failed before a civil society. it's a not optimistic that diplomacy can do much to change. we on the issue that it guys see here in the conference every day. there are 6 steps for either because of the war or like disease or famine such but do you want the congolese people to keep dying is really critical. would be some die in the battlefield or some die because

they have nowhere to sleep. i think you may, others are dying because they're in the come, you know, but yet they're fleeing therapy because they're afraid of me to ask you to about it . but here to think so it's the same thing. the most base you'll see. so the president, because the u. s. w. zation mission, one new school admits the d. c. crisis is one of the most neglected in the world. the mission will leave the country by the end of the year and leaving most security questions open for this cause of protection of cvn at the heart of its mondays. it's great new will default to and certainly have an impact on you. many tell you on the variations, especially internal boxes, for those into come. the biggest challenge is a clear way out of the conflict either through diplomacy or military action. the empty tray rebels seem determined to take over more to retreat. meaning one thing for claudine and have family things could get even with here

and with that know you're up to date here on dw news coming up. next is the program global us taking a look at one of the world's most dangerous routes from my current statements the
