the priority is the release of all of these people to start the negotiations between a negotiation between the government and the indigenous and farmer associations. so the government is insisting that till the nice policemen are held by the community, there will be no dialogue possible with the government. that's the situation as we know right now at this moment, we also heard from the government's minister of interior of stolen. so pride that he also said that sort of government the priority of the release of a policeman. he also said that he does recognize the importance of the work that these farmers associations do in that region while at the same time, also insisting that there could be an influence by criminal groups that could be responsible for some of the violence that we saw on thursday and beyond securing

the release. there is a lot at stake here for president petro isn't dead. what impact the crisis have on his plans? has total peace plans as he calls them, given that they could be an announcement soon of negotiations with fock dissident groups. absolutely. i look, this is a very, very ambitious plan. one of the reasons why pits are the 1st left expressive in practically in the history of colombia. was that he had to promise to do more to reduce violence in the country. and it's very ambitious plan has to do with negotiating deals with essentially all criminal groups operating and the country, both those that have a sort of political backing lag case, the case with the again the groups like the land, the main rebel group that exists in the country in these distant again, groups of the fact that didn't participate in the 2016 piece deal that the

government signed with that with 5 rebels at the time, but also with drug trafficking groups. it's very ambitious, it's very complicated to actually achieve, obviously. and there have already been a number of crisis, for example, when paid through announced right before christmas that he had to deal with l. n. a rebels for a sci fi that turned out not to be true. now there are talks of starting negotiation with the fact the students rebels, but at the same time, the government, they are saying that they are behind a lot or they could be behind that violence that we've seen on thursday, our position politicians, but also people closer to the government, like the senate, so are they like how you, who was the main government negotiate there's in the negotiations with the far has said that what happened in and one on thursday was close to on our key and that the

government has to be very careful and giving us for instruments to the police and the forces to continue fighting the criminal group. so very, very complicated situation in many ways that were expectations for these situations to happen since what peter is proposing, as is a change of parody again. and the way i violence am mafias in criminal organizations are dealt with in the country, no easy feat, and a lot at play here that is alessandra romp, yeti. joining us live from for which i thank you. a funeral has been held in the occupied westbank for a 15 year old palestinian killed by the israeli army on thursday. mohammed without selling the shot after as rainy forces entered. the town of uh zoom in the occupied westbank too. i was looking into it including a child who's in critical condition. at least 66 palestinians have been killed by israeli forces, or settlers since the beginning of this year. and israeli forces have fight tear
