the, the safe them even come in as an international insight, corruption, excellence award, nominator hero. now, the 26 prisoners are released and one of the biggest swap since the cold here involving 7 countries are still will not have been made possible without our allies german homes, medium nor richard. the they all stepped up. you as president joe biden says, the release of americans came with tough schools. the find for me the,

this is all to 0 live from dell also coming up the funeral. lovely senior, his block amount has taken place and 11 on he was killed in an as rainy as striking the route and hope of finding survivors of state in the southern indian stage of carola whitland slides is killed nearly 200 people. the we begin with what's been described as one of the largest prisoners swap since the end of the cold war. the white house is confirmed, it's carried out an extensive multi nation prison, a swap with russia among those exchange and the bill, american citizen and whole street journal reporter, event augusta, which and a pool. we learned a us marine veteran equipment confirmed the 12 present as well pardoned by russian president vladimir food and directors. officials say the national intelligence

agency coordinate to the exchange in ankara, as the brutal ordeal is over us. president joe biden's latest remarks on the present exchange from the white house that was a short time ago is some of what you have to say is still not been made possible without our alex german polls for media nor were in turkey. they all stepped up and they stood with us. they stood with us and they made bold and brave decisions, produce prisoners being held in their countries. you're justifiably, be now provided logistical support to get the americans home. so running a lot of questions with allies matter. they do, they matter today is a possible example of why it's vital to our friends as well. the bill is extensive and involved 7 countries across europe as well as the united states. the turkish intelligence agency quote today to the present a swap in ankara. well,

much of the focus has been on the sweet us citizens. other countries also played a vital role in ensuring the swap went ahead. 12, the german nationals and russian political prisoners will also included in the deal that will be returned to germany from bella, luce and russia. among them was rico k. whoa. who was sentenced to death and, but a roost in june of to being charged with terrorism activities. h, russian citizens are returning home from the for europe in countries and they include no way poland, germany in slovenia. they include a full people accuse of spying for russia to act as a businessman and a for my high ranking. if is be cano who was serving a life sentence in germany for murder, or we have stuff us and in. but then let's suppose to live to join hands. and 1st in washington, dc. and john, the united states government considers those now released as having been wrongfully detained, as has made a priority,

getting them released. that's right, president biden has said that one of his biggest priorities has been getting wrongfully detained. american citizens returned to the us and today he said that was made possible only because the u. s. has good relations with its allies. it required germany, for instance, to give up a volume crash, a cough, a russian who was accused of killing a former chechen rebels in a berlin park. so that was part of the exchange that went on and it involved 7 countries. and that's a settled big a at donald trump, the republican rival to now come to a harris, formerly president biden, who his talked about pulling us out of nato and other alliances. biden is saying that it is those alliances that have allowed this exchange to happen at this historic exchange. and as you point out,

the biggest one since the cold war and perhaps the biggest ever in terms of the importance of allies. and as you say, the prison invite and emphasize that specifically is a greater detail on who a watch was involved. because we also have german chancellor shoals saying, i've spoken with vitamin who was very grateful for germany's assistance that we don't know a whole lot more than that. all those details are coming out. but one thing that the state department is emphasizing here in a briefing it just occurred is that this is not a change in relations between the us and russia. if ident patel at the state department spokesman said rush, it continues, it's aggression against ukraine. that's a major bone of contention between the us and russia, and that has not changed. and therefore he said relations between those 2 countries have not changed. all right,

don't we'll leave it there for the moment. thanks very much for that additional information. that's john henry, the in washington, d. c. o. step vessel joins us from button step. one of the tough pools that's president biden spoke of was made by germany and it's decision to participate in this bill. the yes and as we speak, chancello all of shows is basically talking about a phone call a has with the president biden, and shows is in cologne, where the person knows that have now been released from russia and also from by the rules are arriving. as we speak, and this is a town in the western part of germany, and as we heard president biden say, he was very thankful for his allies and for the bowls and graves decision. and is a specifically about germany's decision to let one of the key players in this whole exchange go back to russia. and this is

a convicted assassin who has killed a chechen on the fields commander in 20. 19 a brought him caustic off and he was sentenced to life, and president and germany has been very reluctant to let him go. but there has to be in this pressure, of course, coming from the united states and also in return as we are expecting to see any minute now, is the return of 5 months. some of them have dual nationality and also 7 russian opposition. members, people who have been in prison in the, in russia for quite some time, some of them of what people say has been some of the charges. so basically shoals is also using this for his own publicity showing a to the world that he is accepting. well, calming this present most is opposition, members, opposition politicians back here to germany to have a life here. so this is something

a very difficult decision as the government has explained between loving a convicted criminal goal and return for the freedom. and as he also stress, possibly even the lives of people who have been in prison and it's simply. 2 on political charges and we talking about also the youngest, who is going to be released at the moment and the family. of course, the actual is anxiously waiting for him. is a 19 year old jewel national russian, a german boy. you was in prison for 4 years for taking photographs of military installation. so when he was 16, a not a person is a 7 to one year old, a, a physician leader, a this so them so that we know well known for us and in russia. a ilya ya, sion is coming here to germany as well. so we have a whole group of people who now have left all these prisons in russia, and this very uncertain times on certain conditions in russia now coming all to

germany and chose is, is welcoming them personally. this is also a very important side on at the airport in cologne. it's the best and thanks very much for keeping us updated the from well in the head of his will. uh, how soon this wireless is the group will respond with anger and retribution of the and he's ready strike killed one of his senior commanders. he made the comments at the funeral, all ford sugar, and they root is real. a choose sugar of planning and attack in the occupied golden heights which killed 12 people on saturday. as a local general reports from a route. the full ad soccer was hospitalized. most senior military official is ro killed him in a rear strike, invaded southern suburbs in what was seen as a serious security breach. hezbollah,

called tuesday nights, assassination. an aggressive, that's part of the sacrifice since the group has been paying for its support of garza. but the leader has on us from the 2nd. the conflict has moved beyond that. hello, hello. hello. can you buy the land of have a lot for looked at because you wouldn't cry a lot to me i was to do. you don't know what the red lines you have crossed, you don't know what's kind of an aggression. you cut it out. and when you took this conflict, that is why you should know all the fonts have entered and you phase different from the past. hezbollah says the fascination of sugar violated the unwritten rules of engagement between the group and the israeli army. because it was an attack enabled on a residential building and it killed civilians as well as promising what he's calling a real, not a symbolic response. how does uh say it has something similar from like this when

husband alida hass on the sonata talks about a real response. what this means is that has been like a target minute treat or political personalities, for example, or a group of soldiers. oh, come on, those or strategic facilities on israel claimed responsibility for shockers killing, but has remained silent on the assassination a day later in a run of how mass political leader is my you, honey. almost 10 months since as relevant. got as hor on garza iran and his regional allies have been trying to strike a balance between the putting military pressure on israel and avoiding an all out regional for the 2 assassinations in booth. and to run in. just a matter of hours have again brought the region to the brink as well says it doesn't want the full on war, but that it's ready for any scenario is really media. our reporting is really in american officials have been in discussions to prepare for a potential retaliation from iran and its allies. so all these going to call the ne

or each one when the seek revenge on its own. that is a question today is wrong, has expanded the power meters of the conflict. prime minister benjamin nothing. yeah. who says he will not submit to calls for an end to the war on garza but has the law, which is part of the iranian lead regional network. says how much will not surrender in gaza, nor will the other support front. the trend appears to be towards escalation center for their else as the to be able to the funeral serve as val how most political lead to is melania is taking place in a runs capital supreme. lita ayatollah ali, coming a let the prayers before crawls of people accompanied the procession as the body was taken to freedom square. honey, it wasn't there on for the local ration of president must have position when he was assassinated. his party has arrived and cut the head of the burial on friday.

these really all me says it can confirm it till the come on to of home us when the to being warm. but they've, it said he was killed in an attack on a building in the con eunice area in southern gaza. how much is it con, confirm the claim as it's a matter for the leadership of the custom brigades, it's minutes away. or let's talk to him. the cell which is joining us live from amman and jordan because these really government has vandals there from reporting from as well on the claims of some high profile assassinations. yeah. but so not to all the smile on is when the strike happened. did on the was the all those weeks ago. that's a no was dish, but for some kind of military when of the that's right. and in fact, we heard from these really prime minister and a press conference on july 13th the same day as that deb,

we strike on the i didn't my west the area west of han eunice. remember, this was a place that was supposed to be designated as safe by these really military were hundreds of thousands of palestinians had been forcibly displaced to time and time again. but we do know that this saved zone was attacked all in all 9. the palestinians were killed on that day more than 300 others who were injured and that same night prime minister benjamin netanyahu gave a press conference his 1st in months 2 is rarely media talking about the achievements of even carrying out and assassination attempt on someone as a high profile as him, how much live now for weeks, these really army said they hadn't had the intelligence to confirm the results of that attack. but they say that now they can confirm it. they had previously said that this was a precise and direct attacks, but as we saw from the images on the ground and witness testimonies in our own reporting from our teams on the ground, that was simply incorrect giving the damage and scale including attacks on medical

workers who were rushing to the scene to help be injured. and we also would appear is getting more details of how is mile honey, as assassination was carried out. possibly was a bone that was stashed and the guest house as well. let's 1st point to the remarks by these really are re spokesperson danielle hum, gary, who did give a press conference tonight on thursday, who said that his role only carried out one assassination via airstrikes on that day. and it was in be due to assassinate the, his bullet commander full at show. good. and several media outlets including the new york times an axial citing is really officials were speaking of not to mislead . but citing several of them had said that this was a plan by israel's most son. that's the external security services. they are very well versed in assassinations doing it in different countries. and the reports site,

these officials saying, but these were plans given by the director of a prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who ultimately gave the go ahead for honey is assassination saying that there was a bomb that was planted in his room many months prior. this was something that was planned over the course of months as well. but when we heard from him, us officials yesterday invaded with giving a press conference. they said that this was a no significant intelligence achievement for these really as, as everyone knew where honey, you stayed when he was in it on. all right, i will leave it there for the moment. thanks very much for that reporting from online and jordan. and a reminder that the honda is reporting from jordan because israel government has banned ultra 0 from reporting in that country. it was still a head on al jazeera. the defiance from demonstrates as the lease used to a gas, to disclose crowds at the start of 10 days of protests in nigeria and coastal
