as long as they will be fed the prussia made by regional mitigates is to bridge the gap weed from us. and isabel, regarding the 2nd phase, they believe that i'd be durable, that you have the ceasefire with homeless and continue as the prey is a sites all heading to the 2nd round of negotiations that will enabled palestinians to witness the isabel incomplete with the trouble from the gaza strip um the acceleration of the reconstruction efforts by the original mid. yates's and humanitarian organizations. on the grounds, tara composer, algebra, han eunice, palestine. earlier in the day, the 3 is really captives appeared on stage and central gaza ahead of their release in a scene identical to previous exchanges. our correspondent who, who dar is in there. although with more on how the day unfolded as the. 1 surround from us by twos in central, clauser. 3 is really captives our net onto a stage before they release the exchange market attempt and significant stuff in

the seas. for d, as between how much israel how much seem defined is reduced based by the cost of the periods size of b, which is really some of these really been waiting for 16 months shortly after seems of started patients and food infinity units in central kaiser. as relatives work in the process of policy presented release from is really present . i found the conditions with terrible no food and nothing to drink, no medicine. i set for 24 hours a day for 40 days straight, and cooked and blindfolded. i wasn't allowed to go to the bathroom or anything as part of the ceasefire deal. israel has a nice 183 policy prisoners. most of them were arrested after that to be 7

some who been in prison for decatur, made through geneva, to cause other policy new prisoners were forced to delay their homecoming. instead, going to hospital to treat serious medical conditions, obama, 100 or less. i would allow yourself sure it's a feelings that i kind of described. i am very happy. i'm elated having my son released up to 14 months of detention by these really enemy. how about me in the course since his release was announced last night? we couldn't sleep. we went out here to meet all really some students completely different. now we couldn't believe what we saw, the comparison before, detention. and now this is an indication that there was a lot of oppression and torture. more is really competence are expected to be released from cause and next saturday was listing is remain cautiously optimistic that the ceasefire will hold. the top of the prisoner exchange between 10 knots and is

a very significant step in the ongoing negotiations with many hoping to stabilize the ongoing to squire. and that's the kind of thing, despite a successful exchange, a mazda is told else is 0, that the ceasefire deal is in jeopardy, accusing israel of repeated violations. we have uh well it conveyed to clear and strict messages to the mediators including the americans. that all views danty games by this is to possible the influence of the need and the stuff for the medicine and $0.10 to cut off on some generators and implementation of other items of this uh deal including the very nations by 10 and something i've seen is about 500 and a something above this could fit it and the to collapse and twitter to fit it in

the deal and up to be perfect as it has been agreed upon. but this part of this, from the one overboard was how to still decide collision. how to prevent the war against our people that came into the game. and therefore we have with them in the of those a clear uh, points describes that we are ready to overcome any problems i know of seconds and challenges in order to give this a should this be less of a shots to succeed? but if the site has insist on it, violations of the deep enough implementing the data as it is agreed upon the shore . this one, the effect of the data to uh for the above the collapse this is really prime minister. benjamin netanyahu has criticized the scene of the captive exchange. his office released the statement saying, quote, the shocking images that we have seen today will not go unaddressed office. there

was no days in amman, jordan to address this, you're there because the is really government and the palestinian authority have banned from 0 from reporting inside israel and inside the occupies westbank. so nor it feels like we've kind of seen this cycle before. i'm us orchestrates, a heavily staged release, which is real invariably does not like, and then says so very publicly, this threat by net, you know, this will not go unaddressed is very on specific, any educated guesses as to what that actually means. yeah, and, and really nothing you all had a you know, the statement to make. and then there were some leaks in the as rarely media talking about possibly retaliating by limiting the amount of humanitarian aid and food entering gaza. and possibly also asking for a report on the status of health of the is really captive, is that all those who still remain in gaza,

but the person who responded to nothing. yeah. who's staged outrage was the head of the is really opposition? yeah, he's not beat and he told them, look, you knew this was the status of the is really captives. you know that the policies of his world, a limiting food of starving garza, of not allowing enough medicine was affecting the health and lives of is really captive. do not act surprised now, and that's why there's a big flush now. and israel from the is really opposition, at least for a for nothing. yeah. hope to keep moving forward to keep those releases happening and to push forward on negotiations for phase 2 because otherwise these tests of patients between have us and, and israel really jeopardize the this fragile ceasefire. and we could see possibly complications down the road that you know is realistic up is upset about those images, how mosse is equally upset about not enough food or 8 or mobile homes entering. and

it's also outraged by the state of health of deteriorated health of palestinian prisoners. and those were disappeared. will have been released many of them suffering from illnesses, from skin conditions like scabies, from a psychological trauma. and a lot of them have to be treated in hospital not just immediately, but even afterwards, a lot of them need a lot of medical care to be able to recover the weight of the house they've lost nor right. now what we're seeing in gaza is stage one. it's a temporary cease fire. where are we on negotiations for a permanent end to the war that stays to a yeah, that says very critical stage to negotiations for that sarah, let's remind our viewers were meant to start on day 16, a phase one that didn't happen because nothing yahoo made sure it wouldn't t delayed it, and now this evening, there was an announcement that

a delegation would be dispatched from tell of these to don't have this delegation is still not mandated to make any decisions because the security cabinet hasn't met, hasn't really formulated a united policy. and that's not by chance. first of all, these really prime minister is still in washington. he has extended his stay in it . there been more critically perhaps, and this is most likely what he's avoiding. his cabinet is not in agreement on phase 2. in fact, one of the ministers in his coalition at one party and his coalition quit because is real agreed to phase one, another one bets and smokes, which was now the finance minister and the defective ruler of the occupied westbank . having devised the ministry within the ministry of defense to oversee supplements, construction and permits for palestinians in the territory. he's threatening not only to withdraw from the government and, but also take it down. if nothing,

yahoo agrees to end the war and completely withdraw from the gaza. strip which is what is required in face to so for now, really the hope and everybody is clinging on to the hope that the mediators would be able to drag the parties to the negotiating table and make sure they continue talking. because without that, a breakdown would mean the no more captives, i will send you an or is really will be released and the, the trauma, the traumatic, catastrophic situation and gaza would get even worse in nor thank you very much. this alpha 0 is nor de reporting from amman, jordan, many of those released from is really jails have given testimony of mistreatment a deal. shatara is a form of house the and prisoner. she wasn't president heifer for 7 months and was released in the 1st wave of prisoner exchange on january 20th. it's very complicated. it's so it's kind of mix ceilings with excitement, a c or a. you would see what's waiting for you and nothing. the village, of course,

to pretend it to you, i've been treated, we will be mistreated and all the other prisoners were released on the next exchange. dave with his staff and she had the experience, it wouldn't be too. we were dread. here as women business, the tennessee with is the last 2 hours inside the prison. i made us not knowing what to expect and what's coming next until the moment came. when we were with our family, we're really hoping that this axis fire continues to be really hoping that all the prisoners would be see because they turned on this prison to a big den in human entities where things to human beings in there are we,

one of the security is to be built, he wants people to address these. and my last which is the whole world, we stand with them as of today because because any time and the kids and my husband, it's the whole world to be united for them to have their life back again. the turning to some of the days of the news, lebanon's prime minister, and it was a slum, has named a new government sidelining has been law for the 1st time in decades. he said the $24.00 member cabinet would focus on security, which additional and financial reforms i left on friday. the us deputy special envoy for the middle east said has blocked, must not be part of the new government houses. 0 is in a harder, isn't they root with more honest. so, after much political bickering and international pressure,

lebanon's politicians have agreed on a new government. it's a very different government from previous ones. this time has full law and its allies no longer controls the executive authority. they've lost. what is known here as the blocking. 3rd, they don't have the number of ministers uh, to block decisions, as well as to the top of the cabinet. there was a lot of international pressure on lebanon's politicians simply because this country is in dire need of a financial assistance not only to help revive the economy, but to help a reconstruct what was destroyed during israel and as well as war. last year, the reconstruction bill is in the billions of dollars and this is a nearly bankrupt. the state of the government was formed uh, just hours after a special envoy from the trump administration visited lebanon,

and really set the tone on what the us administration believes. 11 on should be doing moving forward and that is, carry out reforms fight to corruption of carry out the needed a changes in order for the international community to trust this government and unlocked the billions of dollars that are needed. and we also know that there was international pressure to keep hospitalized in fluids out of this government. the us and void was very, very clear. and, you know, she, she, she says that the strong declarations after meeting the president. so no doubt, international pressure played a role in a country where it's usually takes months while political factions, vi, for their share of influence and government. the new government is going to have many challenges ahead is such as the economy and rebuilding. it's also about men

painting that sees fire agreements with as well. 11 on is under pressure to accept the state's authority across the country. out to this are all non safe actors, which means has a lot. now no doubt, hezbollah has been militarily weakened by israel, but it is still of course, to be reckoned within the country, along with its allies. it has a significant number of seats and parliament as it has popular supports. but it is a very different, has a lot in the past, was able to impose its, its decisions, and now it's influence has weight. so the balance of power changed and 11 on, not just 11 on, but across the region center for there was a 0 fatal still a head on alpha 0. it's helped people around the world for more than 6 decades. will be looking at the work of the us foreign agents as us president trump threatens its existence. the impact told by internal conflicts. could it be in them then?

um, what dumbness these are. the zip codes have made the country's economy unstable. let me go. christy. if any deal, let me put democratic alger 0, it examines how struggling nation 6 to build new alliances and its quest for stability, which may come to a very high cost for cause new directions. money. turning the tide on al jazeera, examining the headline, assessing the discussion, exploring abundance of wealth cloth programming, designed to inform, motivates, and didn't find. on out you 0. this is turkey. turkey a is the 1st country to develop a national, sustainable tourism program in collaboration with the global sustainable tourism comes. this country holds more beauties than just those. you see blue flag,

beaches, historical and cultural treasures, euro valley rooms, and michelin, greenstone restaurants, come and discover not true. historical and cultural beauties. the the, [000:00:00;00] the, you're watching else 0 reminder of our headlines this hour is real and homos have successfully carried out. the 5th exchange of 3 captives for 183 pellets, theme prisoners must loads of the free to prisoners have been arriving across casa and the occupied west bank. earlier a 3 is really camped is were released and handed over to red cross officials. and

during bala hunt been i me, alisha, robbie and or levy have been flown back to israel and reunited with their families all along pick, i think us is a former console general of israel and new york alone. you're joining us from television. it's good to have you back. so look, we're currently halfway through a 6 week ceasefire and gaza, which is supposed to progress to a permanent ceasefire. the logic of the mediators when this deal was set up was okay, we can't get israel to agree to a permanent ceasefire right now. but let's get them to agree to a 6 week temporary ceasefire. and after 6 weeks of no fighting and seeing captives return home, there's not going to be, or at least that was the hope appetite to go back to fighting. you're in israel halfway through this. do you think that is working as it is working right now? if you look at the, you know, reality on the ground, it is working. and by the way,

a majority of israelis inconsistent power will support this deal so forth. the sequence of events support the ceasefire and effectively and essentially support the end of the war. but there's one is really called benjamin that time. you know, he also happens to be the prime minister who doesn't think that way and tried his best to convince trump that the president trump, the american president, trump, that the war needs to uh, resume. now that's almost 2 possible. given the israel aloud, tens of thousands in excess of a 120000 miles to use. i'm assuming is in the gaza strip to move from the south back into the north. so that makes a resumption of the want very probably max um but there is another aspect to this even if there is no um success, no accomplishment in the 2nd phase negotiations the ceasefire are supposed

to um carry all. and so everything now pinch is not on the definition of the difference between cessation of hostilities ceasefire and permanence desirable that's important. but about effectively i'm a ceasefire and right now it is held. what i do not know 0 is what's gonna happen in the so called the 2nd phase, which begins 3 weeks exactly from now 21 days from now alone. like my question was this, this idea that the deal is supposed to have momentum and the after 6 weeks is real, including its leader. benjamin netanyahu just won't have appetite after 6 weeks of no fighting, they just won't have appetite. there isn't going to be the political space to go back to fighting. and i know it's hard to gauge, but my question was, do you think that momentum is building is not necessary because mr. newton, you know,

faces the formidable coalition problems. if there is a permanency fire and then out of nowhere president trump through is um guys. uh where is the arrow idea and expelling our relocating call. what you want? 2 point. 3000000 pals. the news in america taking over the got so that's however on viable that is that that changes the uh, the calculus of someone like that's on the, on the appetite you, you're right. yeah. the tides for, for a resumption of where does not exist except with the in the government. the idea usually with the passport is, does not want the water resume and majority of the public, not the public makes decisions on the national security issues, but, but at least in terms of opinion and opinion, poll and problems sent them at the public does not want the warner resume yet i don't know what mr. nathaniel has june store because he is hell bent. i'm not

not allowing the 2nd phase to go through alone. thank us. former console general of israel in new york. thank you very much. thank you. 00. it's a federal judge has temporarily blocked the trump administration from placing employees of the us foreign aid agency on pay leave. more than 6 decades usa id has been one of the biggest providers of medical and humanitarian assistance world wide . rob reynolds looks at the history of the agency, the president of the united states. the us agency for international development was founded by president john f. kennedy. in 1961, bringing disparate aid programs under one organization during the hottest days of the whole war, rivalry with the soviet union, sending aid in the form of food, technical experts and loans was seen as

a way of extending us influence. stopping the spread of communism and thereby keeping markets open for us corporations. this is a very, a powerful source of strength for us. it permits as to exert influence for the maintenance of freedom. if we did not, we're not so heavily involved. our voice would not speak with such a bigger, you know, way usaa id was the successor of the marshall plan, under which the us funded the rebuilding of western europe after the 2nd world war, which succeeded in keeping those countries from turning communist over the decades . the agency ship hundreds of millions of tons of food medicine and medical equip. analysts say with us a cut off china will benefit for china. a pretty good is a good number one priority. it is west strategic members live. it is where major,

you know what a ways these ways come out the rate see they've got a full vision. notable us a id efforts over the years included fam and relief in ethiopia, and the 1980s in somalia in the 19 ninety's and to war ravaged countries including sudan, bosnia and afghanistan, as well as natural disaster zones. among the most significant and successful humanitarian programs administered in large part by u. s. a. d is the president's emergency plan for aids. really, for pep, far the brainchild of president george w bush. it manages prevention, treatment, and health care system strengthening with a major focus on sub saharan africa. since 2003, the program is estimated to save 25000000 people from dying of h i. v. aids on friday, a worker was seen covering up the us and the emblem at its headquarters in

washington with black plastic tape, rob reynolds, l. g 0. the us federal judge has also temporarily blocked the trump administration panels led by elan mosque from accessing payment systems and the us treasury. those systems are used to process trillions of dollars in payments. the judge said there was a risk that's sensitive and confidential information could be leaked. the lawsuit was filed by 19, mostly democrat, lead states. leaders from europe's largest far right. block of gathered at a rally in spain. do you want to make space spain? great. again, the summit in madrid has adopted the slogan, make your a great again on gary and foreign minister victor, or ben and francis marine. la penn, were among the attendees. patriots for europe has become the european parliament's

3rd largest block house that it was created just last year. and that's it for me. so then yay. is more information on our website, that's l 0 dot com. the weather is next. and then inside story, we'll take a look at the impact of donald trump sanctions on the international criminal. be right back at the top of the our stay with the, the hello, the web. it looks like a fresh thing up a little as we go through the next couple of days. full, the middle east. we have got the cooler winston, i think the blow its way in even though temperature is that amount. 20 celsius. but for the cool weather, with a little further north is struggling to get into the, the low change, the fact that we change that to white, there's some snow. it's a northern pont solver. i'm pushing into afghanistan, quite a mobile system. this one level eventually pushes way to northern parts of park the

stuff we have got some west to whether she could say just around the eastern side of the mediterranean size, looking pretty miserable just around the live and some plowed on the rice making his way out so for, sorry for us pushing across to was western syria, easing across the 11 on down to was gone. so shabby couple of days here, we are going to see more white weather then as we go into the pots of next week and perhaps a little more widespread, then it has been recently some showers to into the final searching easy uh, libby, pushing across states, egypt time of the next hour, so a brisk when to cool with a normally when just knocking the edge off. those temperatures have still quite a rush. the showers down to was a golf game which doing up with a shout was across central africa pushing down towards mozambique to was madagascar and still some big showers for south africa.

the since the last no criminal court receives a wave of support. all states fit with us sanctions, president donald trump is punishing the cold for investigation and as well as conduct in gaza wills from actions to international justice. this is inside
