despite efforts by his route to sabotaged it from outside we robust many times repeatedly stated we are committed to this. so this need, we really need to build up much time to, to get this the, the shelves to succeed because it was our one from the one. how to stop this regression analysis of this must have thought, you said that guess i'll be when i have to help, but i know all my people to come back to their houses in the most. therefore we are committed. we, we don't do much. so when we come to give and forget, this is just as i've seen willow point, i know the stuff is on a trend in just in call. but actually on with that media textbook. unfortunately, we have for was, this, is this the gives a blend button to bring this in your author's government to use. so he's trying to to, to see, to see it for other execute was the sport or so that's the guest of the when suddenly he started to talk about the slicking, which was not part of the v. we will be the no bus of least cups of this light is

what much agreed upon megs, but i know it, we have this part of this we have encountered, hooked up with our brothers on the go out there in government. we have done so much, certainly the last 4 days i was to avoid. so with doesn't this deal to oh, israel's former national security minister who resigned in opposition to the sci fi deal has slammed the return of palestinians to northern garza. it's my been give, this is the opening of the necessary in cordele and the entry of tens of thousands of guys and into the know of our images of how mazda is victory, and not a humiliating part of the reckless. this is not what complete victory looks like. this is what complete surrender looks like. we must return to war and destroy and difficult to let's speak to him. i want to show our senior political analyst about this is joining us live from bill ha. the signals my one coming from israel and tomas is that the cease fire is,

is holding and is going to continues back on track. even if some politicians in israel as we solve it would like to return to war. what are your thoughts about where we are at this moment? is this the end of the more you know, fully we, we understood since last spring that the war had already run its course. and then from been on it was just an exercise of sadism. even then president by then understood by may june, that this war has right. it's course if you think how much was a few to exercise and that is, or i'm sure it's war and if must it good. so we started in a different kind of way. so the past 67 months, they were just a waste of time and a lot of destruction for that i to being viewed a genocide should not be just the dissemination of people in part, as the likes have nothing you know, wanted or the like

a small church wanted for being via to show such it'd be destroying the whole people or destroying the whole place. so he is not satisfied with the desktop, tens of thousands of 20000 children, of the 201-3000 or friends, or more than 100000 casualties. that's just not enough for being viewed. but for president trump, on the other hand, this is a bite of war and he doesn't want to continue this war. i think if he must, he would do his own wars. but he certainly don't want to get involved in a by then what, what it's about us on or ukraine, by the way. and last but not least, it's clear now that being clear and even smart, which could not threaten to submit it to this government because they are the like so many guns the general who was before and the coordination is not proportional to go back to the coordination and the to fanatics big via and smart church would not be able to bring down the government if not anyhow,

understood the american ultimatum that this war is over today. my one was no doubt, i'm a meant to stay for palestinians. we saw a remarkable pictures of them returning to their homes in the north, despite the destruction. but we haven't seen much of is, is riley's returning to their homes in northern israel despite the cx 5. it was agreed and nothing on where people have also been trying to return to their homes. what, what do you make of that as well? there are a number of possibilities. one is raina is cool, are not back in their home in the north are staying in hotels instead of even nathaniel and other places and stuff. so they're not exactly rushing away from their 3 or 4 star hotels. that's one to i don't think they trust and if any, all governments did inside of it, i know already government has proved them right, by postponing the withdrawal of his very to forces and handsets find the seats 5

conditions by x and they get from 60 days to whatever 78 is. so clearly the situation still unstable. but for the palestinians, it's a whole other ball game. they have been displaced once and again and for them the grand return, as it were, even if it involves walking 4 miles up on miles or 4 miles in the rain in the cold with the children on the shoulders and with the suitcases. i don't know where they would just have to do it. they're going from one to refuse to another refuge, but it's been in their homeland. and hence the whole thing into it clearly. you know the indigenous as it where the authentic people of hand. and certainly the ones who been tortured for the past 15 months to this genocide and, and, and scare tactics and attempts at the cleansing and kidding, as also 4th certainly would want to go on to, to,

to their homes. and i think in so many ways this has been seen fit on by itself as a victory. while for many, this was a little cost or me over the emotional day. there is no doctor about that. there was a despair and there was the whole. there was the optimism and depressive new wasn't sufferings. and then was the joy. yeah, absolutely. roller coaster of emotions, no doubt. thank you so much. my one for joining us. my island bush, our senior political on this as my one mentioned the 11 on, has agreed to extend the ceasefire deal between israel and has, will live by 3 weeks. is where i was suppose to withdraw its troops from the south of lebanon by sunday. but its military remade is deployed, that spawns protests among local people. is ready for scale of 24 people and injured more than a 100 in the unrest. whole parties now have until february 18th to fully implement the deal is in a hot or has more from bailout there were concerns about the continued. so the,

let's say of the ceasefire agreement between the hezbollah and as well that ended the war last year with levon on has confirmed that this will continue to adhere to that agreement despite the fact that israel did not meet the deadline to withdraw its forces from lebanese territory along the border as well, was supposed to pull its troops out of 11 on by a 60 day deadline that ended early on sundays to allow the lebanese armies to fully to fly along the border and carry out its mission to this arm has the law and make sure it has the lot and it's a weapons are, are moved away from the board or the white house said that the deadline for the full implementation of the deal has now been extended to february, 8th teams. the white house did say a few days ago that there was a need for a short temporary extension of the deadline because quote, has been a lot still remains a threat. so that's the deal is supposed to see the is really army pull out of lebanon,

and 11 is the army deploy and hezbollah pulled back. but that deal is also supposed to see the full this argument of hezbollah. now the people of southern 11 on the village are throbbing this place for more than a year. tried to make their way back home on sundays, but they were met by is really life fire as well. kills more than 20 people injured . dozens of people, many of them were support this of hezbollah. now it was a show of defiance with many also saw this a message from the group, which has been severely weakened by the war last years. but this is a message from the group that it has not been destroyed and it still has influence in this country center for their l as as 0 balance. so your opinion has agreed on a stage plan to easy economic sanctions against syria to have satellite as a country. you foreign ministers in brussels of food, a road map to gradually lift the penalties, including bonding in force of oil and petroleum products. the blog is keen to help

with the reconstruction of the war torn country and bill ties with its new leadership. syrian present the shot aside, was ousted by opposition, forces in december. let's speak to hush in my head bar, who's in brussels for us covering that you meeting. so this roadmap for lifting sanctions imposed on syria. what does it mean and how significant this is quite significant. finally about it, this is not going to be a blank check bunch of by the a step by step approach. so this is why the, what the e u is planning to do. they've got into thoughts easing of the sanctions on the banking energy and transport. second, to, to pay the wasteful economic recovery. and so again, these were the sexes that were imposed by the us starting from 2011 when i saw a set cracked out on city in protests as if that works well. and if the government

puts together a transition with an inclusive government, then there is the potential for a sanction to be completely lifted. if the international community in particular is not happy with the transition to democracy. zip codes reverse some of the decisions they made today. hit in brussel, but they say that this is quite a significant step, an indication that the is willing to move forward when it comes to dealing with the new administration in damascus and hash and the also deciding to resume a mission to monitor the roof of border crossing between egypt and gaza. tell us more about this. yes indeed, this is possible is the you to be in a uni boards of assistance because in you them, which was put into place in 2005, but then was suspended by the a you in 2007. what, how much took over and does that even though is to send civilian monitors,

to the boys are costing to ensure a smooth entry of aide into gaza. but then that could expand it further in the near future. as i say, this is crucial for the european union when talk spots about the 2 states and you should because they've been, they've, that this is going to be something that could be very important for the economic prosperity of guys. if you want goods to be in to the guy that the area you have to have at those bots, you particularly an international monitoring group who can be as with the egyptians and the is riley. and the ultimately, at the very end of this whole agreement, they are looking forward to see more k regional players come together to ensure that they are going to be part of sending more humanitarian, a reconstruction of gaza. and also all the political details about a final settlement and also the arrangements about the post world goes onto who's going to take over. so this is from a european union, a very, a, quite

a very significant development and indications that the a you wants to have a bigger say in the near, in the future. i don't cause a thank you how shameful that hashim i have barbara in brussel of the nabi united nation says the situation in the eastern, the congo city of goma is very floyd. that's after the m $23.00 rebel fighters. they said they captured the city gun fire has been heard near the airport and go mind many residents have been fleeing the city malcolm lamp password columns of m $23.00 scientists into the city of government hours off to the groups that had taken control. some residents watched from a distance to head. the other kid people here have decades

of experience. this advise living under the rule of various on groups. some of the fights is very sophisticated weapons, democratic republic of congo. government says when soldiers are in the city, when the support for the on that advance is being widely documented. when the previously denied it recently explained condos government escalating the conflict and says it has the right to defend itself. to level, well done bottles continue, set hours this government so just worries for his life. you go to, god bless you must be one of the ones that we are goldman soldiers. we had a band. so thought of these have left us here in the bush to fight the enemy. but when did i didn't go my viewed abandon? we do not know what to do. we laid on our arms. what's all these men say they government soldiers who were trying to flee by boat from governments,

pulled across like tv to the city of because they say they've been intercepted by rwandan marines who were taking them to surrender to end $23.00 to this home goes always be fighting along sides un sanctions of groups all sides of the accused of widespread atrocities including sexual violence and killing civilians. the u. n. u . s. u k. and from the cold on rwanda and m. 23 to stop. that's what's going on. the seminal front strongly condemns the offensive laid by the m $23.00 supported by the ro wanted on forces, which resulted in the death of peacekeepers and caused the displacement of tens of thousands of civilians. the fighting must stop and dialogue most was here. the 5000s of people have fled government to neighboring lawanda about 2000000 and have already been forced from their homes in 3 years of fighting. just relate

this chapter in a decades long conflict. wondering, you've gone to invaded, congress really says he has a game that has been accused of meddling and detain minerals ever since the last time m. 23 to government was 13 years ago. the u. s. and some european countries, top military aid to we're wanda, and in 23 was late to defeated. people here waiting to see how the international community will respond to this time. malcolm web houses era. the spring and knowledge is here is gabriel is under now is at the united nations in neil for his gave the un peacekeeping chief has been speaking about the situation in eastern d r c. what he had to say a yeah, that's right. we just got out of a briefing from him and he said 1st off, information is very hard to come by. so the situation is very, very fluid in gama, even for the united nations. and that is because at times peacekeepers and even a u. n staff in and around goma he said have had to go into underground bunkers for

periods of time to stay safe in the middle of the fighting. and so he said, that's why there's been times we simply cannot get a lot of information out of goma. however, he did say, one asked does the m 23, a control goma? he said the situation is very fluid and he said we're not there yet. there's still a lot of fighting going on. so clearly the u. n is not at this point definitively saying that the m 23 controls all of government at this point. very, very murky situation there. he did say that uh and confirmed again that you uh you, a non essential staff have been, are being evacuated out of goma given the situation there. and he also said he monitor and officially was briefing with him. also said, getting humanitarian aid in to go my in around government for the hundreds of thousands of displays. people that need it is almost impossible,
