which is 0 we are the ones traveling the extra mile there are the media, don't go, we go there and we give them a chance to tell their story. the . ready ready ready the hello, i'm sort of hide us and this isn't use our life from the coming up in the next 16 minutes. cuts us foreign ministry says an agreement for cease fire and gaza is asked. it's close this point than it's ever been. we have reached a point where the major issue is that go preventing of the of them it happening. what are the rest and we have a language, but then it could be say, it should still a thing again,

syrians return home to rebuild the lives. one month off to the aside, regime was toppled plus find some live out in the pacific palisades almost a week after that fire broke out, the devastated and it's high commute. and now concerned about more extreme winds on the white potentially more flies. and we report from south africa when move or the saw being pulled down. so if in the legal mine officer, stand up with police and sport form or 10 as well. number one, daniel method that loses his cool at the australian open. the 3 time the final is destroyed, his racket and a net camera during his 1st round with the off the 15 months of devastating. who more than $46000.00 palestinians killed and

hundreds of thousands injured, a long awaited sea spot appears to be on the horizon. israel's worn gauze of box its forces having is there a tax on the strip? at least $33.00 people were killed in early morning attacks targeting residential areas in central garza and that brings the number of people killed across the strip since early on monday to more than 90 people several months ago. so it's all bouncing. going to end the genocide and gaza and free those is really captives to excel underway and know how to press for a deal between cost to remediate, says us the invoice and the scene is ready. delegation, the cost for a foreign ministry says it's optimistic about the tools during the past month, they were underlying issue with major issues between the $2.00 parties under these all these issues would result during the talks in the past couple of weeks and they probably have reached a point where the major issue is that, well preventing a deal from happening, what are the rest and we have

a language pertaining to the same issue that have been difficult to get between the both parties. we especially appreciate those of both abiding investigation and the incoming trump administration in the, in the end, the talks in the past couple of weeks they had been involved fully in the and the talk apologies that we have 3 correspondence following those developments. white house correspondent kimberly hall could standing by in washington dc. honey, my mode is indeed a valid in central was about 1st. let's go to bun expense who attended thoughts meeting briefing rather earlier in the ha brundage in the was of on friday the tools all i to develop sage, but it seems that not quite there yet. you know the know the yes. in the category. foreign ministry spokesman was also keen to say that it's important not to raise expectations. reset the develop stage, the tools,

but we mustn't get over excited. he said he hopeful, based on his hope all of these talks will lead to an agreement. we have been here before, we've been very, very close to an agreement being reached only for it's a full at the very last minute. the 2nd se a different now maybe the incoming trump administration, putting pressure on the and yahoo to come to an agreement from my electric has made it played automatically. he doesn't want this will to go on when he takes office. so that is why that seems to be some more men, some behind it this time for the counselor is eager to say we're not the yet still here in cancer of the heads of israel, security services, the shouldn't. but the most of the american negotiators, a representatives from the outgoing by the ministration being coming trump administration here, how boss is represented as well as kata in egypt,

who with the go betweens, between those different parties of us still at the still talking the countries sites so the res, hope that something is going to come of this. okay, so some hope that is you're saying that, but do we know how they're going to implement the sci fi plan if it does take place? well, one of the reasons that there is a representative from the trump administration here is to make sure that if i would cease fire agreement is reached, then the americans will be the guarantor of it. they will continue to guarantee it, even with a tray, a change of it, of us administration. that's why is important that us representative from donald trump. trump's administration is here. there's no trust between these rallies on time us. it's why the americans going to need be needed to be the mon, it says a base along with the categories and the chip sions. but if they come to an agreement with everybody still hey, and cancel out, then there is hope that all the mechanisms will be the to monitor,

right over the met to main stages. won't believe it to main stages of the seas. 5, the 1st stage being the release of some $33.00 is riley cops is in exchange for hundreds of palestinian prisoners, which will lead up to day 16 of bots to another stage too. well, that will discuss the release of more of the mail, cap saves, believes to be sold, just which could go on for to the 60 days also. and then a 3rd stage, further down the road, the reconstruction of casa. okay, thanks for that. so update from here in the, on those these 5 to expanded smith, the palestinians in gauze. i have enjoyed 15 months as non stop violence team and dated by the has been asking people about the hopes for a cease fire. and do this is what some of them have to say. yeah, not a problem enough numbers. okay. although we're only good to hear about a ceasefire deal. we have deep concerns that many families, including mine will not be reunited. many children don't know where the parents are

. most of us have not only lost all homes, businesses and loved ones. we've lost our life memories too. it will be very hard for all palestinians and gaza to restore the normal way of life. but we will start to new to rebuild our lives from 0 and above all, many of us, namely gentleness on leaving the will with deep scars and our hearts and souls. from those of the no, i will be so happy when it happens. i probably united with my family members and return home and go back to school. all right, well let's bring in handy my mode, his life for us and data about that. that's in central garza honey talks. of course, as we're seeing, narrow the see spa that's happening here as we speaking how but where you all bones are still being dropped on palestinians across the strip of the pharaoh. one would have expected

a slow down that our lives up in the tops across the gaza strip. but what we're seeing here is more of a service that is increasing has been increasing this expense for the, for the pots a few days. the more they are least about the potential seeds fire agreement, the more we hear about the talks, the, the higher the pace of these attacks and just the positive view when it this whole area, the courtyard of the hospital turn into a may have expired biotics the and right here at the, hosted after 4 people were killed in the why, the town. that's it, the moving parts of their velocity, the northern western parts of data. but i city in such a busy area, you know, this place people now are everywhere in the central part of the golf strip, including many of these residential pockets here and small neighborhoods in towns around the area that that happened at a very busy hour with people are moving in and out of their 10 sites when a drones struck

a group of people on their way from the the site where they are saying this video reminded us of the, the past months when the attacks were a dear highest. so we don't see any it change on the grad date is significant. seems to notice it doesn't happen up till now despite oh, good talk. the talk also continue to be carried out in ga the city and for the northern part of the step were more drone is try killing more people and attacking more residential buildings and public facilities. the tools are not as of this moment as bad as yesterday, as were big guys us 3033 people up to this moment on the number is expected to increase down in the phase of costs about these 5 when we see a number of people killed in a single day or in less than a day or 12 hours so far. it just that a very consistent become great, consistent with what people have been expressing, give a cautious optimism. they still express their concern and their fear that,

that this might not happen because of the many times they have been live down in the positive return. do it are so close. i do, i see inspire agreement, and all the sudden it burst out and fighting. it picks up once again and the intense bombing campaign. and the last time there were talked about the fees fire, it was followed by the invasion of the northern part of district, the destruction of more health facilities, including canada, with wanda indonesian hospital as well as the out the hospital, the northern part of this trip, the entire population to trap their whoever remains are still without the proper access to any of the basic necessities they're not, they're not dying of the bonds or dining both the supplicating fees imposed by this really monetary. okay, thank you for the update. as we were hearing the voices, ray, the stripes have increased and the goal is the street. well, let's go live to our white house correspondent, kimberly whole cat who's been listening and standing by on all of the latest developments on the sci fi. they don't have the cast rate for minutes to switch

some case, special things, not just to the current by that is administration but also to the incoming trump administration, saying that they've been holding tilts of both sides to yeah, because right now we're in this unique time where we are watching the hand over of the, by the ministration to the incoming trump administration with the inaugural ration set for monday for president elect donald trump. uh, so what we have is a situation where a president biden is currently a maintaining, but his team is doing all it can to get this across the finish line. a joe biden has said he wants this to be part of his legacy. and he says that his team is on the brink of getting this agreement to finally come to in his words, fruition and they are pressing hard. this would be of course, based on that proposal, he put forward in may of 2024. that would allow for the search and humanitarian aid,

the exchange of palestinian prisoners for is really captives and also would allow for the home and the fighting. so this is key to have the trump involvement then by the trump team, given the fact that as burden smith pointed out, they're really the ones that are going to act as the guarantors. they're the ones that are going to see this implemented as so you have to remember, not only are they involved, but donald trump, himself put his own kind of staff on all of this. when he said, i want to see these captives release before january 20th, or in his words, all hell will break loose. so he's kind of put a little ad the threat if you will, to kind of hover over these negotiations and add some added urgency so. so in the midst of all of these negotiations, there is a unique trump step, and there is the bite and diplomacy as well. we've had joe biden working the phone's in his usual sort of states when like manner. he's spoken to benjamin

netanyahu as of last sunday, the egyptian president cc and also of course, uh, speaking with the guitar and mirror. so uh, this is really kind of a unique time in the united states, but in the ceiling and washington is if they can get it done, then that's all that really matters right now. exactly. thanks very much. kimberly hold cuz i with an update from uh, washington dc. well, israel's fall right? national security, minnesota small bank is a, has threatened to resign. if a deal does take place, take a listen as konica kenneth is currently homeless. the deal doctor is taking shape is the surrender deal for how much the full i call on my friend buffalo smoked for us to join me and corporate and working against the deal. my jewish public policy does not have the power alone to prevent the deal, but together it is possible. we can go to the prime minister and tell him that if he pauses the deal, we will resigned from the government. i stress us, if we become the opposition, we will not spring down, let them know whose government,

but joint cooperation is the only way to prevent this surrender deal this terrible deal. and to ensure that the deaths of hundreds of folders, i must in vain stuff. okay, well to wrap all of this up for us that spring in full time, but i called to professor of public policy at how much been holly foot universities full time. thank you very much for joining us. i'm sure you've been following all these latest developments. a cautious optimism, it seems that's the update that we have now from the category foreign ministry spokesman in terms of where we're moving forward with this daily said he couldn't exactly give details. but he says it's the details that are all important because of this critical stage where it could fall through potentially. absolutely. if uh, if we take a minute to reflect back on the times, we've had some of the positions where a data was eminent and then it did not happen almost in all locations in the past. it was because of the detailing and or because as they're hiding behind the

democratic system, what it needs to approve the deal. so it's cabinet now if nothing, you hope placed the same game now and say in principle we agreed the wording of those agreements, which i think what the parties were more or less saying earlier today. but you know, we have a democracy, we can possibly move forward without me being along my cabinet and parliament is on . if it goes down that route, you've already heard the comment from you guys here and others. they will frustrate it. but the same time, the circumstances that have shifted a little bit in terms of the leverage offered by the united states and both the, i guess, both the palestinians and those writers. and i'm very unfortunate against days riley's, i think trump was very clear in his request. he requested it politely but firmly of nothing. yeah. who to bring this crazy war as you put it to an end. now whether it's comes to an end on the 19th or the 20th april matter in terms of ford takes the legacy of this. is it by then, or is it trump?

but i think up domestically we are, we are speaking. we are a almost true that it is really reaching uh, its uh, end result. now the war and very importantly, i think some of the things that have changed over the last few weeks, i think as well, has come to the conclusion that they cannot defeat from us may tardy. they have tried to posit the victory so that it's still seems to me no i, as you said, how much is still that for many is riley's certainly having spoken to them. they felt that this would be done very quickly. it's taking a very long time, though it's taking a long time and the fact that over the last couple of weeks, almost 15, maybe more as a associates have been killed in northern gas or this northern guys, or has been devastated, which is good on this age. for so it's been clear this under siege, et cetera, and for the time asked people to appear from under ground and attacked and killed. 15 soldiers picked and soldiers way 0 is a lot of tall and you know, they,

they're the way that calculates things are very different from the busting inside. so it does show that this rule which he has been pursuing, is not gonna lead them anywhere. he has to reach a negotiated settlement of some sort. now the fact that he's reaching it and then on negotiated way, it's partial when to have miles in a, in a, in a form. and i think, uh, nothing has come to appreciate that this is inevitable. it's, it's his original objective. now with trump coming in, so soon as not going to be, i realized, i mean, if you can look back to some of trumps policies, when it came to israel, he was very keen on the normalization of the israeli relation. suddenly when it came to a saudi arabia, for example, but he also controversially moved to the us embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. and of course for many palestinians, this was pro, is still problematic because east jerusalem is occupied by israel and in jerusalem

as a whole, as seems to be for all different religions. that was, it was a political statement there at the time. and he said that it needed to be done. how do we think trump, what do we think his policies will be when he comes? or when he more, the embassy is a move that based on the decision that was made by presidents before me, the decision to move it was, it was to move. it was the idea that he just activated it. and he want certain political captain with his raiders of the time. and i think ghost is still is very supportive as well. but the, the way he came to the elections, the support from data from the stream community, the nice safe have for to interface what he needed to show some kind of empathy with their course. and uh, i think he is serious about at this time, at least in terms of stuffing the budget. now where he could be very tricky towards the other thing is in terms of the ultimate solution, the day after. and this is part of what's being talked about at the moment,

and that's what defines 12 of the so how would i administer the ga, the gaza strip? and i suspect the most likely is to have a multinational arrangement mountain national force that offers the posting in a degree of protection and allowed them to start the rebuilding and will not know that that point was put forward to the farm and a spokesman who said he didn't really give much way apart from saying that the is randy, occupation and goals are not supposed occupied. start trees must end on the so they should be immediate says or a monitoring body, but she didn't show that the sci fi field is implemented all of this. while there are also reports that the families of those health, cognitive, on meeting, we've promised benjamin netanyahu. so it'd be interesting to see what pressure they put on him. thank you very much, mrs. hall farm. but i called for joining us on the lease with sci fi deal proposal, and i'm the

right, well, it's been more than a month since. so position forces in syria, it's helpful, the sod regime during the nearly 14 years of civil war. many revel, strongholds of and bones is by the army, rendering them on inhabit simple syrians on now slowly coming to terms with the devastation and the rebuilding the lives. the summer been java reports from that i a full, the opposition stronghold on the outskirts of damascus of the just for the keep the lights on and machines running the charge of the dollar for every car washes, the business slope. an operational costs are high. can you turn to the right after security and especially from it from the vision? i mean, it has memories of all interests and gardens. yeah, those are the members the days of the revolution and this damascus. some of

that i, it was warmed extensively for being that have been strong strategically situated on the edge of the military gear for as it strikes and thinking it's responded opposition quite as mortars and brock. a detox such as notorious interrogation center as well known here. many of the people some that i would go through there, but i mean it was a visual, a little bit clear. so this is what's left over yards old car wash in the midst of us that used to be the bedroom that has 1st daughter was born in addition to his family life. he also remembers detention and displacement with them. i know it's what does she want when you go into the cell, you see methods of prison. this many of them is sleeping on the floor and some of them and make it. my witness even told me we use the roll exxon. we just have all the prisoners that bodies and all of us would use bodies to stay warm in the winter . what have you thought that was what you thought that was just that i asked

playgrounds are still torn and it will take time for its children to play, hit the bombing and destruction in there. i was so intense the fight as the tellos underground until the 2016 been assigned forces to control of this area. now the more areas are being uncovered, a new spaces are being dug up. these fellows are reappeared. of thousands of fights is resisted for many years, but they were no match for the regimes by a power back by russia's air superiority. and it was here. the strategy of reading buses must displacing populations 1st effected these best as begin the symbol of in force displacement and demographic change. as tens of thousands of people were forced from their homes for many years that i was a ghost town solely, it's residents are coming to terms with the devastation i'm planning to turn it on . but i'm the 1st one of my family. i want to to stay here around 2 or maybe 3 days and come back to turkey,

street after street. the philosophy of the regime's bombardment is evident everywhere. and i'm a bit of a glimpse of what used to be a kitchen. an entire building here was wiped out by ballad bombs. but the people say despite poor prospect and the lack of basic services is ready to rebuild their homeland. however long it takes some of the job with other data that i damascus countryside. well are my next talk mostly on is a non resident scholar of the con. you conduct a middle east sensor in baby. ruth new joins us live now from budapest, on the next, the 1951 refugee convention says that refugees shouldn't have to return home if it's not safe. if scenario considered safe now, it was not quite yes. i think one of the, one of the major barriers to returning syria was security of many,

many considerations. one was conscription which was preventing lot of people from returning another one was a lot of money. syrians were either afraid of the syrian how old regime security forces, or they weren't haunted by them. so those, those concerns have gone to so to large extent. however, there are still security concerns for assessing home stereo in the south for a lot of places which day to day security is not still a given. so uh to declare sir, yeah, safe. i think one needs to follow you in and see ours uh, guidelines who have no record of use measures and experience on declaring the country or a territory say for return and millions of syrians, the living abroad that were forced to lease against the will. of course, some are going to want to go back home, but not a problem. well, because some of them have built their own businesses and folder and lives. some of

them have had children abroad that haven't even been to syria yet. is there a concern that some of those host countries could put pressure on them to it's on, or even force them to return? and there are 2 servers, but of course this is different from one country to another by a large. but all i have to say that we haven't seen such pressure yet. there are a lot of countries which are thinking about a number of measures which could encourage the return of syria refugees. for instance, recently germany announced that they made, consider allowing syrian refugees to go back to syria for a discovery sold, so called discovery, a visit, or a temporary visit, just to check on their properties on their documentation on your issues as see if they can return or not this one, not in all their refugee status in a, in their home countries, other countries including from us or considering similar measures. and i think this

is, this is encouraging because it will help people assess the situation in syria on their under, on. however, you know, it must be noted that uh, you know, there were some conditions preventing severe refugees from returning under the old regime under that, that disappeared recently but ordered still exist. one of them use the very bad, you know, economy, which still needs to recover a lot of hopes and plans for recovering suv and economy, but retail has been happening on the ground. another problem is, is that the return has to be heading to have an important nation with not just you when it's you are, which is responsible for many serial refugees. but also, 8 organizations would be partnering with this here and all sort these and building the destroyed infrastructure in, in syria return of refugees, pretty naturally, in fact, could exacerbate the existing problems. so of course, as it could just use that exacerbate the existing problems within sarah,

we hardly heard from the a cat's, a foreign ministry spokesman saying that they are ensuring that humanitarian aid is being delivered to sir area that they discuss serious suffering. see now when it comes to refugees, we're not just talking about those that we're forced to leave because that has been internal displacements within syria. what's that looking like for syrians within syria, especially because of the humanitarian situation with such a full economy, it seems one of the poorest of the moment in the world. yes, i entered the full morning. tory internal displacement is a bit harder because syria, you know, you, when it's all right. and other organizations had heart are access inside syria. uh they, they, they had problems. the next is a comprise, and wonder who the dumpsters are on. the cereal were in europe. so there are no accurate statistics, however, uh some have returned specifically from it. lips counts and northwest syria has

many can into i live for a c t. you can see that the social media. you can see that a lot of reports, although there are no accurate numbers. i would argue that it is a somewhat easier for them to, to return because they are moving. we deem dissenters fiction within the same country. and therefore, you know, there are no darnell authorities which could present their returns back to their, let's say displacement area, etc. but when we're talking about refugees, this is something else. this enables crossing international and border and this, it was, you know, a lot of authorities and jurisdictions that of, in europe or 11 and or others might not allow the return of districts to just back to a backpack to say in the, in this country. so it is a bit more complicated when it comes to refugees and relatively easier for i did these nevertheless. all the challenges we talked about reading duration, economy recovery, some security issues are relevant, not just for refugees,

but also friday peace. okay, thank you very much. i'm in that good talk miles young. from the condo, the mili center stephanie's interior minister has suggested the syrian refugees should be allowed a one time trip to the home country without since affecting the refugee status. this would be for us to genius x pro, the situation on the ground and see whether a permanent moves is even feasible. normally in germany, refugees would lose the protections as they travel to the country of origin. germany who's the largest syrian refugee population in the european union. right, well dominic cane joins us live from the german capital berlin. dominic, tell us more about this proposal and how likely is it going to be implemented? well the 1st thing to remember is there uh something in the old, around $972.00 families and people from syria in germany who have not yet become

german citizens who vis would see a rest that clay applied to. and the point behind all of us is that you have right now in this country, a bit of a see change of opinion that's taking place in the course of the last 12 months. also, where the view from many different political parties about refugees in this country has hardened. and so the desire has been to see, well, how can we make it easier for people to go back to the countries. and so if you then view what's being proposed in that light, then it see then it becomes more obvious why the politicians are doing it. how likely is it to go through? well, if you listen to officials at the interior ministry, they say they don't need a change in more to be able to effect this to make this happen. and so then you have all the elements as world governments, the green, foreign minister amended bell book agreeing with the idea saying it's a good idea.
