diana, you are an economist. you are the managing director of colona rod at an advocacy organization. you are joining us from there. it's good that we were able to get you back. so there's so much that needs to be fixed and living on politics, security banks, and it can't be fixed until there's a government. now there's a government, do you think that this is the beginning of real change for level a good evening. happy to be with you. i mean this is definitely a reformist government that has an impressive line up. so a lot of hope for the form the government, as you have also mentioned, reflects and you will change in the balance of power in the country, particularly after his bullet has been significantly weekend due to the events of the recent months. this reflection of this balance of this change and balance of power is you can mainly see it because now the has bullet as you do not have

a blocking 3rd in the cabinet which they had used for several years in order to stop the work of the government, however, many would have wanted to see it give a to reflection of that change in the balance of power. many would have wanted to see a minister of finance, very key position, particularly keep up the forms and minister of finance that is not aligned with the has bullet. i'm a deal guarantee. the minister of finance is aligned menu would also have wanted to see if she figure that is completely independent for the week of positions she. i figger we do. it's not the case today. we're waiting to see what the minutes did . statement would look like, because it's when the ultimate to the fine girl, it's not according to which the government would work. so to sum it up. yes. a government that is a pharmacist named that promise a lot. but more transformation with hope for the the country is almost bankrupt,

as we know, ordinary people have their money locked up in banks, their, their pensions have lost almost all their value. can this government ultimately reverse this? yes, this would be one of the main pilot just for the upcoming governments, particularly destroying a bank sector restructuring plan and implementing it. we've been waiting for such a plan since 2019. this plan is also linked to a lot of the 8 that would come for the reconstruction of 11 on we're hoping that with the names that we're seeing in this government, they will be able to push forward on a reform plan, particularly for the financial sector. the government says it's going to implement un resolution 17 o one which was passed more than 15 years ago and never fully implemented because it means disarming has the law and the lebanese army controlling the entire territory, which hasn't been able to do up until this point. do you think that now becomes

feasible? doable. and there's a lot of international focus on this issue, particularly us focus definitely on the implementation of 17 o. one is very important milestone is february 18. this is the extent that that's line after which is really forces are supposed to withdrawal from o lebanese territory. they have not withdrawn yet. it would be a key determinant of whether the agreement will actually continue to be implemented . and definitely on the 11 east side, it's very key and that the new president of the republic, the prime minister, has committed very clearly to the implementation of 17 o one. the mechanism that was set up after the cease fire agreement between the 11 on industry. so far, working in a rather satisfactory manner as i have to say, although definitely the expectation of the east side was, was an earlier is really

a withdrawal. but yes, i mean, if there is a chance for 17 o one to be implemented, it's now the international pressure is here, the 11 years want to see if implemented. and we have a new leadership that is committed to implementing it. diana minimum, thank you very much for joining us on the else. is there a news? our thank you. ecuador ends are preparing to vote in the 1st round of the presidential election on sunday. daniel and the boy took office after a snap election in 2023, and he is favorite to win a full term. but his war on the violence campaign has run into a controversy and scandal with critics pointing to increasing disappearances and victims. alexander and p. a t reports the anger and the spirit of funerals or young black boys from a working class neighborhood in ecuador spore city of y, a k o. the names. so who's a is man in steven

direct quote. the military initially denied involvement later and meeting air force personnel to obtain the boys. but saying without evidence that they were robbers, 16 soldiers are now in pre trial detention families, the main justice. but fear silence may be the only answer in the country increasingly dominated by fear, violence and corruption. allison that i'm be at the as, as ita, honduras is deputy foreign minister says migraines from his country living in the us or scared to leave their homes in case to get the ported. he made the comments after playing, carrying the port it on germans arrived from the us. president donald trump promised mass deportations of undocumented migrants during his election campaign was young. and what was the last of consent and the loss of nervousness in the united states on the part of my country, who are afraid to go to work for it to take the children to school, afraid to walk on the street and many businesses have closed because the employees say they could take name, so there's

a lot of nervousness that the federal judge has temporarily blocked the trump administration from placing employees that the us foreign aid agency on paid leave . the legal challenge brought by the workers union said, trust orders were illegal and unconstitutional. more than 6 decades, usa id has been one of the biggest providers of medical and humanitarian assistance worldwide. alpha 0 as 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 cold 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 possible source of strength for us. it permits as to exert influence for the maintenance of freedom. if we did not, were not so heavily involved. our voice would not speak with such a big, 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. africa is a good number one priority. it is west strategic mentors light. uh it is well major . you know what a ways these ways come out the red sea. they've got a full vision. notable us

a id efforts over the years included famine 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 still ahead on alpha 0 mentions to cities done to buy an incredible strike. there it is. but was that enough for an upset? we'll have the details on the way the, on the power of this journey is taken by calculus. refugees fleeing danger to meet me there. but perhaps worse than death is the packing of survive. the syrian refugees seeking ounces, searches for disappeared. sister mine may suit a, with this documentary on a just hearing the fact the is very systematic and deliberate destruction of causes will, will to infrastructure has left more than 2000000 people in

a state of color. since from asking questions, what do you think will be the last thing? impacts on journal is reporting from the action when firefighters did arrive. there wasn't sufficient with an in depth coverage. it's a gathering of intention to speak to wisdom teeth this out. as it was, teens on the ground when you closer to the heart of the story of the science of sport with far as mal, who's doing this in the studio far 0. thank you so much match with your city. avoided a huge shock in the a cub. 4th round does a turn things around to be late in or in 21 english champions were heavy favorites against the 3rd tier side. for the moment of magic from jamie donnelly gave late

and orient the lead. donnelly is on loan from talk them, it was eventually credited as a stepping on take our own goals, say responded in the 2nd half new signing of they'll call their cushion off level things and the 56 minutes and a super sub kevin to brain that made sure, it was not to be an upset to one to city how it ended, what to do. so it was a fantastic issue and key the quality technique, the speeds, the flight of the bowls. so when you said, when you couldn't see this goal, it just comes too late to the guy who i think was the only is in crowd left for player. we saw him and he may give a single to a late goal from hiring. mcguire, san matches the united move into the 5th round trophy holders has come from gold

down against lester city. joshua is this for the 2nd half the equalizer adult copper wire tier to for is from an offside position, but there is no video system roughly at this stage of the have patients. so united going on to when it's, by to this sometimes you need to be plugged into the we have, he's not allowed to because we v r was not the goal. and i think it's important to have because these fit for the, for the game is really hard to lose one game. in the last minutes we the, the north side in place. so, but we need it. sometimes we, these are believe will be like and the german, but does legal fire. you like to go on 9 points clear at the top somebody reno victory again for to brandon. harry came was on target times twice, being kept in the sales for $29.00 consecutive penalties without missing for club and country. find the right to or sign out was also when she's been sick. company side,

securing the teams are just kind of using my career and i know how that bill. so i try and keep the run as low as possible, but they were pulling, you know, like today when the games type. nobody's going to open the game up. like i said, and then from there we dominated, so they're important part of game. sometimes they get overlooked because you're expected just ball, but uh yeah, they can be by oh and yeah. and the games and i felt bosses are hoping to stage a future super bowl outside of the united states. this sunday's championship game is taking place in new orleans with the kansas city chiefs facing the philadelphia . eagles. league already holds regular season games in countries beyond us borders and a team based full time in europe is also a possibility. and i do think there's a potential, some people going to have an international franchise. and if we do, i think it would not surprise me at all for super bowls. thousands play there. this

is a great example being here in new orleans. it's a great thing for the new orleans saints to be the host of the super bowl. have the world's attention, and i think the same will be true if we had an air national franchise to be able to play a super bowl there to support that franchise. we've been talking to nfl broadcast or richard graves about the sports global ambitions. it's when it's $26.00, the nfl will stages 1st regular season game in australia, the m c, g. i clinic, melbourne, cricket ground will be the venue. the la rams already been designated as one of those teams to take part in that game. and of course, that comes off the back of playing games in london playing in germany. this lights, we see it, we're going to say a regular season game played at realm the trades ground, the bone about as a in the drapes. so the nfl is expanding its reach. we've already seen a game played last year in brazil as well. it is becoming

a truly global brand in america low. that will be an excess of $203000000.00 view is just just still in the united states. watching the super bowl that can be expanded exponentially. so a global world wide tv audience comes sunday. the nfl has gone out of the way to attract to an external audience. i think by general consensus, there's a feeling that the growth within the united states as perhaps reached a finite limit. and international growth is now the next boundaries to be achieved . and we're already seeing with the demand for international games that was sitting around the world growing by the year that this is a market that the nfl looking to explore. and so these points are exploring fairly successfully to directly 6 nations and wells of last for the 14th time in a row with a 20 to 12, the seats, at least wells haven't won a match since the 2023. we'll have to get started and see that that ranking. so he does a loss and the success is h. s it lose 1st victory at home against wells a 2 years

a try some and it happened was that we're doing the damage for their 1st went, which was was player belinda bench which has one her 9th career title. and her 1st since returning from maternity leave, the 2023 champions came from behind the beads ashlyn cruiser b united states. when the abra job title is reached, that benches and victory palaces 10 months after her daughter is born in more than a year off and the next stop on the w seems to is the cuts are open. this begins on sunday amends will never h. alec seminar is 3 to the final, the router them open, you know, sterling was a convincing straight since winner against his holly and and there was a home victory for mark is goga and of the latest a free ride world tour event in canada. and he won the men race in british columbia to us which are serious and snowboarder signaling some of the world statements.
