we must start by recognizing that returning to ukraine's pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic object chasing this illusionary goal. we only prolong the war and cause more suffering is real issues, more threats to resume the war in gaza as mediators upper and egypt. step up efforts to save the fragile cease fire, agreed and leaders of the african union discuss the conflict democratic republic of congo, where half a 1000000 people have now been displaced. due to finding the nearly 3 years after russian troops invaded ukraine, us president donald trump says vladimir putin has agreed to immediately start negotiating an end to the war. in a 90 minute phone call between the 2 leaders, trump says his russian counterpart agreed. a long term settlement could be reached

through peaceful means. the kremlin says the 2 leaders agreed to organize a personal meeting, a trump detail, some of that call on the social media platform. truth social. he says, we both agreed. we want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the war with russia and ukraine. president put in even use my very strong campaign motto of common sense. i've asked secretary of state market rubio, director of the c i, a john radcliff national security advisor, mike walls, and a bassett, or, and special envoy, steve woodcock, to lead the negotiations, which i feel strongly will be successful after that call with boot. and trump also spoke to ukraine's president to load them as lensky took to the social media platform x saying they talked about opportunities to achieve peace and a readiness to work together. and they will prepare a new document on security and economic cooperation. he mentioned ukraine's technological capabilities, including drones. he finished by saying together with the us, they are chart, they're charging steps to stop rushing aggression and ensure

a lasting piece. all right, let's going out of my can't, i was live for us in washington dc. so mike, we're starting to see what president trump plan for peace when it comes to the war . and ukraine means, tell us more about that call that he held with president putin but certainly it's clear that they is now directing gauge, meant between the to the cold. clearly explain lead friendly commitments from both sides to find ways in which to achieve a piece in ukraine. uh, president trump clearly leveraging what he, regardless his personal relationship is that to me a put in a to bring pollutant the negotiating table. something that has failed in the past, but t is being exceedingly hopeful. it would appear from his social media tweet that some kind of resolution can be found. and he believes it would appear that that'd be uprooted. is ready to talk with the us as an interest as a and mike trump 1st spoke to put and then he was quick to speak to ukrainian

president board him as a lensky after that. any more details about that call as well. it is interesting about the sequence of events that he 1st spoke to put in, and then he speaks to beloved to me as a landscape. once again, that was by will accounts a very, very pleasant cold. the deed is agreed on the need to achieve a piece at too much killing has been done and said trumping his social media. but trump banking very to as well. but the next stage, and all of this is going to be at the munich security conference at the end of this week. the lead is hits of state from around the world will be gathering in the by and we show holes to this, to talk about security european security. now the us delegation that will be headed by the secretary of state along with the present vice president j. the vance at this stage, it does not appear that the secretary of defense, the texas is going there. but this one very important note that i must pick out the

hex it's, as you heard a little bit earlier, has said that the ideal for to ending to pre 2014 lines is unrealistic. secondly, he says that the ukraine cannot do detain ideas to becoming a member of nato. at this stage, before talks of even started a represent to us is laying outlines that should be a basis of negotiation. not a premiere to them. that actually shows exactly where the trump administration is going on. this somebody is going to lose out and these negotiations, and it does appear that the us does not care if it's the ukraine. right? that's how does, here's my candle. why for us in washington, dc. thanks so much mike. maria, as all kina is the head of regional security and conflict studies at the democratic initiatives foundation, one of ukraine's oldest think tanks. she says, president trump, this phone call with putting is a significant step of your grade, was constantly informed about the i'm going to seconds which channels of

communication between us and moscow. but the 1st school to put in i wouldn't over exaggerated significance because this is roster who must be either confused or post actually to be constructive and to start negotiations, ukraine here are, has declared already that they are ready. i mean, you, craig, and the storage is they are ready to, to talk about some temporary decisions like a ceasefire. but the rest of these not interested literally in that. that's why i wouldn't. so was the jury disaffected from cold, would you? but uh, the, the, the sense of this for the confidence of this conversation is the more challenging already to me because trump is not following the she's the prep is brad presidential electoral campaign promises. when he said that he will be making pressure on both sides. ukraine and russia, and we don't see any pressure on russia now withdraw the loyal, simple sizing and very soft report about finding the common ground to his present,

put him personally, which doesn't make any arguments, any reasons for russia to be really interested in final resolution. even in the ceasefire earlier the new us defense secretary, p, texas, told the nato meeting it's unrealistic for ukraine to return to its pre 2014 borders or for it to join nato. if it wants the war to end exits for march, where the clear syndication you had on the new us administration's position on ukraine and on it the security relations with the e. u hash and i had about a reports from brussels. so sorry for day 2 members, this was a caution moment. the old wanted to hear what the us defense secretary had to say about ukraine. one of his. busy official trip approved the u. s. has been the largest supplier of finance, some of the support for ukraine they to and they use strongly believes supply more

cash and weapons to key if is the best way to end the war. both of us under term things differently. we want like you, a sovereign and prosperous ukraine. but we must start by recognizing that returning to ukraine's pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. chasing this, illusionary goal will only prolong the war and caused more suffering. x, it also said ukraine must abandon any idea of joining the day to the us, had no intention of sending troops to the country to support any peace deal. earlier in the day, the native secretary general set the alliances, members were increasing that defense spending to reach 2 percent of that g. d. b. this home were ukraine, theirs on the battlefield. the stronger day will be attending, go straight to the table. the greater the chance of getting a good deal for the lasting piece. this is bo, this of,

to russian beside strike targets in key on wednesday, the wall shows no sign of legend go. nato members, the pushing ukraine to a premature deal could in boulder, russia to expand its influence across europe to us president donald trump wants today to members to stop relying on us protection and spent fine incentive that you did beyond defends and demand dismissed by germany and many your being countries as of its type with whether we see that tag of 3 percent or 3.5 percent is not the main issue. what method is, is a clear continuous increase in defense spending. i already left, as i often say, we need a security mixed will generation will plan something like one of them and shows are sustainable on long term investments and defense capability and the tier and until a few days ago they 2 and a you members were hoping they might convince the drum on the merits of, sorry,

trust the atlantic alliance to navigate an event changing to political landscape that even offered to buy more weapons from the us as a side of gratitude. but trump seemingly wasn't swayed. this is going to be a moments when most european countries have to re think the defense priorities. and why is that, or the segue on how to move forward. then down accept that. it's just a matter of time before the us shift, it's focus on defense strategy way from you are to come to china's economic and made it to rise hosted by the 0 brussels. the us is expected to release suspected russians, cyber criminal, alexander vick, as part of a prisoner exchange deal with moscow. been a cooperated b t. c e, which was one of the largest crypto currency exchanges. he was arrested in 2017 on suspicion of laundering $4000000000.00 through the exchange. phenix release comes

after americans. schoolteacher. mark fogel was freed from a russian prison and arrived on home soil. on tuesday, the 63 year old was met by donald trump, with the white house full was serving a 14 year sentence for possession of medically prescribed marijuana us and us citizen andre cause metric was among 3 people released from prison by the bel origin government. the journalist was reunited with his family after being held for 3 and a half years. he had been sentenced to 6 years for creating an extreme. his group charges the us officials and human rights groups have called politically motivated . the egypt and the thought are stepping up efforts to salvage the gauze. a cease fire, deal mediators are urging israel and how much to commit to the agreement as a how much delegation arrives in cairo for talks is really prime minister. benjamin

netanyahu has threatened to resume the war if how much does not release more captives on saturday. at the same time, you as president, donald trump, is standing by his plan to take control of gaza and forcibly relocate its entire population. but the egyptian president and jordan's king save the strip should be rebuilt without displacing palestinians. israel's defense minister israel cap is now saying the war should resume to fulfil trump's plan to take over gaus. he says, if how much does not release these really hostages by saturday and the gates of hell will open on them just as the us president promised, he adds the new gods of war. will be different in intensity from the one to for the ceasefire. and will not end without the defeat of him us and the release of all the hostages. and it will also make it possible to realize the vision of us president trump on gosh, how does to the who it is in jordan's capital, i'm on because the is really government and the palestinian authority of band elders here from reporting in israel and the occupied west bank, i'm the,

could you elaborate on these comments from his real catch and tell us more about what he said and how we are to understand and interpret them. the movie is really defensive and is there is that going was prime minister benjamin netanyahu said just 24 hours ago saying that if a mouse does not release the captives by saturday at noon local time, then the war would resume and the fighting would be even more intense than what we saw in the 15 months of war, which is a little bit difficult to believe, given how many palestinians were killed and how many buildings in guns were destroyed. it's also worth mentioning that these really army is already drafting a plans for a resumption for fighting, and these really media is reporting that benjamin netanyahu was set to visit the southern command division tomorrow on thursday in order to meet with troops. to see these plans that they are finalizing, if the war should continue. however, i must as accused israel a violating the ceasefire,

which is why this all started in the 1st place. i must says that israel did not allow the entry of critical humanitarian aid in the form of tens, caravans and other sort of temporary shelters for palestinians until their homes are rebuilt. and several officials had confirmed that anonymously to different media outlets, both in the united states and in israel. so have mass says that israel violated the agreement, mediators now scrambling behind the scenes to try and come up with some sort of solution to this. but behind the scenes, both israel and how must have said that they are committed to the agreement. if the other side upholds it's end of the deal. all right, that's obvious. here is how does the who would live for us and jordan's capital? i'm mine. thanks so much from the time, even though it has more for me. but if i hadn't southern gaza on the latest developments were still reporting from rough i city. and just minutes after the sunset, the area started to become more of

a desert here with the lot of people who were here during the daytime, inspecting their homes just within this area. not going far away because they're still 60 percent of the area according to run by municipality under these really military control and within the range of fire are departing the area and making their way back to their 10 site. this is part of the growing fear as statements and news about the possibility of the ceasefire to collapse at any time giving the stand up in the past 48 hours as these really monetary repeatedly failed to meet its obligations. an honor the terms of the ceasefire and the chief among them is the do i have the permission and to allow the many of them much needed aid and basic necessities to enter the gods strip. among them beats the fuel trucks as well as the tents and the mobile homes that have not made there. we have not been allowed to enter their off. i crossing for much needed population, the northern parts of district and gaza city. all of this, coupled with the mounting fear of the ruler route to resume. there is almost

a unanimous agreement among people here that as soon as these really military return the, the captives or the cap is, are being released. they're going to resume the war. and that has post on many of the people, the plans here to go back to their homes in northern part of the strips and gases in many of the area that being control and devastated by these really military. we're still in rough city. we're seeing much of the devastation that is causing this not only causing fear, but also much of them on a 3rd tendency of the future of this city. similar to other parts of the gaza strip . honey, my more just data from roof acetate, palestine, so head on al jazeera, serious new president finds a committee for a national dialogue that will discuss the country's political to the pan, america's biggest suppliers of steel, thomas, an extremely strong response to terrorists would come into effect in march,

the full hail the planet interrogates while i was think about climate change, the way we do this, a global issue is abstract, so whatever i do, it doesn't seem to make a dent. alley re reveals how with being when it collated into distancing also from the climate crisis and delaying meaningful action outside the logical reactions has been both intentionally and unintentionally quite a few ideas to create confusions. if we're confused with the power of psychology in booking climate action on out to 0, the

hearing the facts, the is very systematic and deliberate. destruction of causes who would that infrastructure as lift more than $2000000.00 pieces out just the it was teens across the world. when you closer to the house of the story, news the you're watching on the 0 a reminder of our top stories. this, our us president, donald trump says vladimir putin has agreed to immediately start negotiating an end to the war. and ukraine. trump says the russian leader agreed

a long term settlement could be reached through peaceful meetings. earlier the new us defense secretary pete hex as told a needle meeting in brussels, that ukraine's hopes of joining the organization were unrealistic. the offices keep should abandon any ideas of returning to pre 2014 quarters egypt and felt that are stepping up efforts to salvage the gaza sees, far deal mediators are urging israel, and how much to commit to the agreement with a high level, a must have legation in cairo for talks, israel's prime minister has threatened to resume the war if, how much does not release more captives on saturday. syria is entering president has announced the creation of a preparatory committee to shape the country's political future. syria has been under the control of a transitional government led by some of the shut off since the fall of the shuttle said in december. several armed factions have agreed to this band with their members being integrated into a future. national force is not clear. if general elections will be held for

reflected in actions as well. it is a long charge ahead because it was remembering the time of the shot as soon as he took the office and said that he has the support of all of the attractions and civil society. he disbanded the military. he disbanded of the parliament. the constitution has been has in advance, and there is no more uh room or for the previously do you mean anything affiliated with the previous version which is underway? so this committee is going to try and bring all of those fractions together. work on the rules of engagement, how these people will come together and then work on the bigger aspects of a city and societies moving forward on how electrons are going to be held. who will form the constitution? what when it's applied and what's the role of the city and president of which was under 50 years of your thoughts on the 2 essential figures we used to control everything. will it be the same orville provinces and other institutions have more power and a comfortable so far?

this is going to be the 1st step towards of some of the jobs of the semester. a delegation of catholic bishops has met rebel leaders in the congo. a city of goma as part of efforts to resolve the ongoing conflict. fighting between the army and m 23 rebels resumed on tuesday. after a 2 day pause for you in says more than 110000 people are on the move from displacement. camps in the east, after one and back rebels told them to leave him 23, and his allies denied. forcing them out saying that this place people are moving voluntarily. people sheltering their insist they've been told to lease an african union meeting of foreign ministers has taken place. and if you'll p as capital the ongoing fighting in the democratic republic of congo is on the agenda. part of a renewed diplomatic, pushed to in the conflict. leaders from east and southern africa had been calling for an unconditional ceasefire our own, which also has more from addis ababa on what to expect from the african union. some
