12:04 pm
for the last few days. we're waiting. and so to say how they'll respond. there's been some reports that side how mazda officials and loving these media to suggest that the response is likely to be negative. but that doesn't mean that the talks will completely collapse way hearing. but if i can also offer a gain, some of their uncounted proposals and i'm in the middle amendments to the current deal. now the deal way hearing that's currently being mailed over, is talking about something along the lines of a 40 day c style, during which time they'll be 8 to 10 hours, all of no planes or drawings line over the goal is a strip. we're talking about the somewhere between $20.00 to $33.00 hostages, women elderly and even including some female soldiers we're told will be released in a phased a phased process in exchange for more palestinian prisoners. now we're also hearing that is ralph has included a close that moved, but we'll see
12:05 pm
a sustained period of calm. now that's a direct quote from what we're hearing is on that proposal, but it falls short of the permanent se file. the moved moved towards a permanent se, saw that hamas is demanding. so that's part of the reason we think we're hearing that. i'm also likely to, to refuse the deal and insights benjamin netanyahu saying in the last couple of days that he will go into rafa with or without a deal gives a mouse, potentially even less incentive to accept this deal. knowing that it will just finding more zoom in the off them off. rebecca, thank you very much. our correspond to rebecca rivers there in jerusalem to well protests related to the war continued to spread at universities across the u. s. leading to more confrontations with authorities. the chaotic scenes follow a night of unrest and violence on campuses in new york city and los angeles leading to hundreds of rest. you're looking now at live pictures from the university of

paralysis. the told her to use are echoing the sentiments. definitely gotten the edge the security closest and the police to family and strictly implemented lebanese low on the syrian refugee. depend on host, the great this number of refugees per capita of any country into what more than 2000000 students in lebanon formed 45 percent of the population. this would be equivalent of nearly 38000000 refugees in germany. and some 163000000 refugees in the united states of america. the sort of numbers are very significant in the context of depend on security and power. shedding months of the vast majority of that, i could use our sunni muslims, that has been viewing fears of a huge demographic in balance in a country where christians and muslims shared power equally. in new jersey, you know, political unity, why the political parties are calling for the partition of the syrian refugees.
12:13 pm
pushing many of them towards choices that is making udall very nervous. a lot of had that a long icons stay here against the wind locally beneath my water sewer down when i don't know what to do, but honestly the fun. yeah. as i like that that i had going, i may try to leave for another country. the way i'm on the box. i'm. i know i have no other choice, but has it go through in the go to migrant focus on the with on word migration for the the roots out of reach the dangerous c journeys to you will only increase and we can now talk to dw, as my home a straight to who filed that report to join just from they root mohammed tell us more about that 1000000000 euro aid package announced by the u commission chief, how is the age supposed to help living on so this visit body site president and the commission that to be
12:14 pm
a problem to pave the way for more support from the in you in different forms including a fund of 1000000000 euros announced by a fund a line for developing programs and to improve the balance of infrastructure and health care system and, and education. all this is much needed in a country that has been facing the worst economic and financial crisis and it's more than history for more than 4 years now. but additionally, the use commission announced that living and we get in more support in terms of logistics and equipment to help them. and he's the armed forces and coast guard to the control of the voters and the shores of the been known and therefore limits of the migrant. both sailing from the cypress and to other european countries. to explain to us mohammed why the e u is making this announcement now, because syrians have been taking refuge and living on for a long time. well, let's talk some,
12:15 pm
some numbers to understand how big of a problem is. this is due to cyprus, so according to the ministry of interior and in cyprus, more than 2000 people, arrived in a cypress by boat between january and april, off of this year, compared to only 78 people using that same period and a 2023 last year this is nearly 13 times the number of refugees and one year. and that's why cyprus is ringing the bell and is putting pressure on the e. u to a ton and i to the been on and, and helps live. and on a managed, the longstanding drafted you problem in your reports, bahamas, you show the tensions are flaring between syria and communities and local hosting communities in lab, and on can, can you financial aid do anything to address those tensions?
12:16 pm
that's what i would say. the problem is much, much deeper. there's no doubt that the influx of the refugees into the been on has put pressure on the economy in the infrastructure of the country in some cash flow . that could be a small relief. but if we look at the numbers of the city and communities form 45 percent of the population of 11 and lately as the report, the showcase series of fest and murder crimes, allegedly committed by syrians that had been creating more age from hosting communities even among those who supported the cdn uprising is since 2011 but old. this is really the tip of the iceberg and the buttons fading the stage, the political paralysis and the inability of the building. it needs to deal with the many layers of complexity of problems in the been a loyal aspect like economic,
12:17 pm
financial, political, social, the list goes on. so scape quoting cdns has been largely used by the, the been east politicians who blame the countries crises on the presence of more than one point. 5000000 syrian refugees who are thank you very much for that. that was the w's be root bureau chief mohammed straight. so now a quick look at a few other stories making headlines around the world today. colombia and president gustavo pedro says his government is breaking diplomatic relations with israel. patriot described israel's war against him off as genocide. columbia has historically been one of his real pleasures, partners in latin america, but relations have cooled since the former member of left wing armed guerrilla group was elected president in 2022 to the manhattan district attorney's office. says port hollywood, producer harvey weinstein, will be retried in new york,
12:18 pm
after his 2020 right conviction was overturned. last week weinstein appeared before a judge in new york city. he had been serving a 23 year sentence. more than 80 women have accused of sexual misconduct. demonstrators gathered in the george and capital tbilisi for another night, a protest after lawmakers approved the 2nd reading of a controversial foreign agents law. the bill requires media and civil groups receiving funding from abroad to register as being under foreign influence. potent say it's similar to a law used to silence government critics in rush, armenia says it's willing to return several villages. it's controlled since the 1990 is to azerbaijan. it's part of a wire piece process after i was original and took control of no garner car box last year. the armenian villages are mostly uninhabited, and only a few people will be directly affected. but local armenians who live close to the
12:19 pm
borders are angry, dw, find the fall, jobs reports from to bush and up to bush. providence, in northern armenia, which is on the border with a special barbed wire along the edges of the top of province. here in northern armenia, marks where this country ends and azerbaijan begins for now handled tumblers, young was born here. life is hard, there not enough jobs, but the land is for a child. she says her guard and it's her pride. she fears the new boy did the medication, could put her house officially, azerbaijan, with the people many here dislikes so much they called them to uninstall us. we are told that this very didn't bridge belong to text when not giving the me the most think on is the government has promised some form of compensation. she says, but that's not what you want down. what are the, this is my, i mean,
12:20 pm
the land and i don't want to leave armenian azerbaijan. neighbors with up bloody his story to wars and many conflicts in the past 3 decades. armenia now wants to give these full full ma, azerbaijan villages back. they are uninhabited, but local geography and administrative borders mean several other nearby armenian villages will be effected. the land in question is only a few square kilometers, but that's not the point for people living in this area. armenians here are afraid losing patches of land in the name of peace. they say they knew bordeaux, we literally bring an old enemy azerbaijan, closer, and they're worried. azerbaijan was once more, i mean, he is prime minister,
12:21 pm
a new called pushing young, visited last month to tell locals, like condo, there was no other option on or how the border is a certain guarantee, a piece i. but we must always remember that something may not go as planned, but if everything goes as we a plan, we should stay in a dialogue with each other. but many armenians very things could escalate full, suggest the things that concerned and the most our national security and border issues. those are the sizes and we don't want to be the we o one p with as a by johnny's is impossible to negotiate peace and thomas province. so close to the border. relics can still be found from hostilities in the 1990s. so in order to similar shall landed here and here is the shrapnel here, here and here. so for the fighting is seen as a real possibility. leo of course,
12:22 pm
done yet is a veteran. he says to fierce armenia wouldn't get much help against the neighbors to go to if there is, there's no use, it will be good. we cannot fight the whole world stands by them. so unfortunately, i don't know how to get this isn't the process opposition. politicians made a trip from armenia as capital yara von, to these little villages near the border to support furious locals. they are worried land that they make a living on may be returned to azerbaijan, and that their farms might end up on the front line of a future conflict show. while ago i spoke with the w, just not a thought. you all who filed that report, i asked her why armine is prime minister says there's no alternative but to return land to us. what is wrong to? and that's exactly what i mean is probably so pushing outsides and visiting those very same villages that they have been to during the past couple of days and
12:23 pm
publish probably, and so close to the board. if he doesn't buy, john, he made clear if there was uninhabited enclaves on not being handed over, then basically armenia is risking yet another room with its rival, azerbaijan. on the other side of the was bob why us were seen in the report. see, he basically makes clear, there's no wiggle room, he has to do that. i mean, he asked to deliver. and also by john, they made clear that this has to be a pre condition in order to add some sort of a long to and peace between the 2 countries. now i think it's really important to have a to see this entire new buddha or new dom acacia in line to be set on between the 2 countries on some parts of media in the bigger context of the more in ukraine ever since russia has become quite busy, obviously, in ukraine, that means that, you know, many of the leading some sort of avoided because russia has been seen as a key part know to provide security for media. now the picture and that sentiment
12:24 pm
definitely has changed since last year, especially when they're going to car box has been sort of basically a not, not directly handed over by our media, but as a by john to control ultimate, gone to pro box. we doubt russia protecting s thing, i mean, yes, that was expectation from our media because they're part of a security alliance led by russia. so that did not happen. so what does it mean for media? they have the perspective now that they need to deliver. they need to hand over some land in order to avoid a lot of the war. yes. so this is about trying to establish peace, but the political geography of that region as we're hearing is here's the complex what a piece agreement funny with us, a bunch on guarantee piece for our media, the ordinary citizens, but also politicians who oppose this plan will tell you that this will actually portray armenia as a very weak country, because if you hand overland means the basic can,
12:25 pm
you won't be able to defend that land. so you will have a level of skepticism from ordinary citizens, not just very close to the board of it. as a by john, but even in the capital as we have food in your, of on, if you look at the big picture, once again, our media is at crossroads because as it doesn't feel protected by russia, very much even to as a former soviet state. and once again, being part of the secure, which alliance led by russia, that was the mis for decades, in fact, that they will be protected by russia. so now, problem it is the pushing on is using the word diversify diversifying for employee 6, but also economy, meaning they can show that this country doesn't depend fully on the roster when it comes to the other just extra. but also it comes to the of the security factor here . but as i'm saying, and you just pointed out that you open to the complexity of the region of the neighboring countries day. it's a very difficult place of maneuvering of food. i mean, yeah, being a level country, small as small as belgium,
12:26 pm
but really surrounded by major regional power was russia to key, and then obviously the rival azerbaijan towards the e. so it is going to be difficult and people will tell you they do not believe that they is going to belong to a piece. even if those few is quite come to me to is going to be handed back to us . so by john, in your report, we heard about the concerns of those locals living close to the border. are they facing an uncertain future? funny the people who have been speaking to i really worried that it's not just about the fact that there will possibly have to leave the land that their cars won't be able to graze. they won't be able to maintain the agriculture and basically their way of living their income, but also they were a day in order to say, possibly they would have to become as a buy johnny. and this is exactly what they do not want. it's a very emotional topic overall, and the question just really is what's going to happen to a media once then you'd invitation line between us or by john and
12:27 pm
