pushing the hydration and extreme stress conditions best with both their lives and their babies actress from the heart of the story. these shots have been closed due to the fog. their owners have been forced on board, shows the i think they have to make peace, that people are being killed and i think they have to make peace. us president donald trump says a ceasefire and ukraine could happen. the key for has to make concessions. the cherry johnston, this is officer a lot from also coming up as well issues, more threats to resume the war and guns as cats on egypt tried to rescue from jones c spot agreements. within 40000 palestinians have been forced from the occupied

westbank. not a nation is described as alarming and serious new president forms a committee for national donald discussed the country's political future. the u. s. president donald trump has said that he and russian president vladimir putin have agreed to meet to begin torques to end the war, new crime assault that he spoke with booting for over an hour on the phone before speaking to the ukrainian president, let him as a lensky president trump said a ceasefire in ukraine was likely and not too distant future, but keith would have to make concessions on an official reports from the white house. almost exactly 3 years since the board and ukraine started. donald trump believes he can bring it to an end, pushing both sites to start piece talk. i think they have to make peace,

that people have been killed and i think they have to make peace. i said that was not a good way to go into and i think they have to make peace. that's what i'd say to campaign. see he could negotiate a piece deal this new defend 6th street, giving me too. i like an idea of what that me look like. we want like you a sovereign and prosperous ukraine, a 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 from spoke of letting me put in for 19 minutes and wait and see. you told social media, we both agreed. we want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the war with russia. ukraine president puts in even use my very strong campaign, multiple of common sense. we both believe very strongly that we agreed to work together very closely, including visiting each other's nations. we've also agreed to have

a respective teams, stock negotiations, immediately a vice president, judy vance, a new secretary of state, mark ruby will just lead the us to be joined by the c i, a director and the national security advisor. they'll meet you, clean president, let them use the landscape at the munich security conference on friday. during the election campaign, donald trump said he would end the war in ukraine as soon as he was elected before he even to call for us. but there was never any detail on how we can to give an interview saying that at some point you clean me become russian or president zalinski confirmed. he's spoken to donald trump. give little insight into what may happen next. the press down from going from the president, trump informed me of what person had told him. we believe that america strength is enough together with us and all of our partners to push russia and put into pieces . you're not part of them, but you're cleaning observer. see,

they're concerned tom is being played by putting your most speaking as above the facts of the russian aggression. the speaking to as many some strange conflict somewhere that they are going to meet the president the landscape said he would consider smoking territory, giving up your cream line for games they made in russia. and he's been cleared in the past. any piece deal will be between russia and ukraine, russia and america. i was so sure, i'll just go to washington. you know, top of that of a has more and rushes reaction tools this for most good. and there are many positive comments. so russian politicians on the sloan anticipates of donald between the 2 presidents, even de, nobody's calling. it's a breakthrough. many say that old biscuit donald, there's a bunch of them. his absence people here. hopefully they see the trump is actively trying to keep his promise to boot and then to the when you trade. but still, there is no way to go before any turning points in relations between function the

united states. because according to the russian side, from street assess, is, are responsible for the to ration of relations for too long. and patient is obviously not an easy person to negotiate with. he never gives into ultimatums. it's only possible that there will be any kind of the so called toe tricks change a criminal spokesman to the troops. coal also has said that russia is not discussing the issue of exchanging territories with ukraine. something that you create in presence blood the minute the landscape have previously offered, according to best called o ukrainian units, which are currently occupying ponds on versus post region will be expelled from that. and russia is not going to make any territorial concessions retaining all the previous should take is cranium, learners. something that to create is no going to accept, but still we can see that things begin changing quite rapidly. here we can mention there were some present as well between the 2 countries. so the supplied all the disagreements. there was room for pushes, optimism, nashik of oliver,

which is the rent most scary. just bring in the indian. so now he's a form of us diplomats and most guy who now teaches russian foreign policy at johns hopkins university. he joins us from washington, dc, welcome couches here. so, how does russia see the prospect of negotiations that ukraine and why would it be to ship even consider negotiations now as well? i think the fundamental fact about this movement we've seen today is that a rush receives negotiations very, very differently than does the united states or ukraine, or frankly, the west for russia. negotiations talks after table or another form of let's call it non violent warfare. they use it to get what they want their strategic objectives, which are the dom, being the dominant power ukraine. ukraine. that's for sure. it to russian foreign policy interest as a change of the leadership in ukraine. that's what they want. and maybe they have drugs at this moment that's sitting at the table with the united states and or

ukraine is the best way to get that. the western view, i have, people have to keep in mind. the western view is very different. we believe in compromise. so called a win win win situations. that's not how the russians see it. so the russians have calculated that the, the moment is right to go to the table to try to see what they want the 9th directory to mr. press cops, comments that in your introduction, there's not going to be a trade, for course, there's not going to be uh, a situation where russia has to give up what it has so illegally seized. and that's going to be a significant, significant obstacle to making a peace deal anytime soon. donald trump had previously said he could end the war in 24 hours, but to these kinds of things usually take a lot longer during the day with many different issues to consider there. sure, certainly are you, maybe we are probably too young to remember the vietnam negotiations for the lapse

of more than 2 years in this case. is that not just the question of last week about the question of, of the word crimes, the russians have committed. we've got the question of what to do about the sanctions. if there's a deal, we've got all sorts of questions that could map children. the russians have snatched from your client. all these things have to be dealt with one step at a time. and that's why i would not be over optimistic about all of this ending any time soon. how with america's nato allies spend the viewing this apparent see change in american policy? presumably with some of this may? well, i think you have to go to the secretary of defense comments access carlos today, which really put the responsibility squarely on the europeans, our nato allies, to step up to increase suspending the target. they've talked about as 5 percent off, and i think that's really part of what's going on here. which is to say it's

a topic administration. i might view, sees the europeans as needing to, to step up to the plate. as i say, it may fall to do more for ukraine, so we have to walk. i think very heck staff comments in particular were very, very interesting. and clearly point in that direction in your views and well, russia already be feeling more involved. and by the advent of the new trump administration, or i can say that they have, there's been a lot of common in last out about this. and the predominance of a so called russian expert opinion hasn't been that they don't really count on us administration to be any more sensitive to their concerns or their so called concerns than any but any other a prior us president. i think moscow realizes that this is a going to be a tough process. if it goes anywhere, it will be a tough process and they realize that they're going to have to maneuver amish. they always do, sometimes lie,

sometimes. right. there are partners. sometimes act very uh, frankly, irritating of the table to get what they want and what they want here. as always the case is to wind and that means a neutral ukraine, a new kind that they can dominate. and frankly, it's the reductions of things like sanctions which i would a serious stand and the russian economy when it comes to that negotiating table then, i mean, it seems that the us the saying that certain things like day time membership fee, crating for example, already off the table of the ukraine may say that's will simply unfair as well. i think if you look at the language carefully by united states and ministration today, you see that there were still considerable support for ukraine from all segments of the political spectrum. and mr. hex f, a talked about the assistance to ukraine, indicating it would continue even if the your opinions had it more uh, uh,

front row, or the product of himself. uh, just write up a press release a couple of hours ago. the president himself talked about continuing to support ukraine. so if the russians think that the us is ministration is going to cut them off, i think they're sorely mistaken. i could be proven wrong, but i think the secretary of defense to present himself, made it quite clear what the position is and that is not going to please a lot of people in the crime. i'm telling you some things pretty much indeed for joining us. thank you. what us present, donald trump says ukraine supplies of read us materials, could be the key to a p steel mills of vital components and many new technologies. and ukraine has potentially huge reserves in non con reports, not from them. yet scrooge disuse, mine's adult, the landscape if you cranes east, but the mining sector could be powering up and going into production. again. ukraine sits on 12 trillion us dollars with the breast minerals needed to power

technology, including lithium and titanium. it could be arrival to china, the world's biggest current supply. and that's interesting to the us, which is wary of china, is rise globally to the famously transactional us present. donald trump and says he has found the deal he wants to make with ukraine to help and the wall. so we're looking to do a deal with your brain with giving them weapons and aid in return to read of materials and ukrainian presence. without them is lensky is open to the idea of russia. it's pot says the alms for minerals deal as some have deb, this is a sign of the us slowing down the simple for ukraine. the biggest commercially viable array of mineral deposits. i'll also in the territories, russia has annexed away the west of the will rages. they include the hands that zachary's you. together. they all with

a 6 trillion dollars or 53 percent of ukraine's rack of mineral deposits. but with that much money involved ukrainians, click no development of resources until the full and to the war and complete russian withdrawal. ukraine. a strategic resources only after the war. and uh, we can do it only when uh, the territory of you green will be de occupied when it will be liberated because manuals such resources are right now are located in the territories occupied by russia. donald trump, i said maybe ukraine will be russian, maybe not a statement that is confused many here and, but even if the war ends tomorrow, ukraine has to be safe. an open said business. one of the many challenges to that other line line is that russia has 7 across the east. it's slow, dangerous. what?

according to the mining organizations, one year of laying down and burns takes 10 years to remove. that's so t, yes, so far. i know the big challenge will be the full and soldiers and dead civilians in the face of those sacrifices giving up territory to moscow is an emotional issue . but that's exactly what russia once, according to that public statements, at least. so getting peace through red minerals is going to be a very difficult challenge. and we're on con, how does there then? that's the region media. it is on a race against time to save. the goal is as the spot mazda locations arrived in colorado. it was, each of them kind of thought tried to salvage the deal, but it's paul 12, the agreements from us was shed you to at least the next group of it's really captive in just 3 days. let's postpone the exchange accusing is where the bar they think the deal is where the defense minister, israel caps has reiterate to that war, and the strip will receive if the release doesn't happened on saturday from the

cell, who has more on this, not from jordan's capital among us because he's very government and the posting of 13 bandages here from reporting inside israel an occupied westbank. it is really defense minister israel cath reiterating, comments, vice really prime minister benjamin netanyahu just the day before noting that is how much doesn't release the captives by new local time. on saturday, the war would resume, but the defense ministers comments were a little bit more severe saying that the war would be much different in its intensity and scale, saying that quote, the gates of hell would open on gonzo, which is a little bit difficult to comprehend. given just how much carnage we witnessed in the 15 months of war, tens of thousands of palestinians killed and nearly the entirety of the gaza strip destroyed. but how much has accused israel of violating the deal in the 1st place, saying that they are holding up critical and vital humanitarian aid that is supposed to come into the strip in the form of tens,

caravans and other temporary shelters to house palestinians in the interim but in the meantime, these really military is drafting a plans for the potential resumption of the war and is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu was set to visit, is really military southern command center. that's according to his really media to talk about the next steps for what's gonna happen if this war to resume. but nonetheless, mediators are scrambling behind the scenes to try and make sure that this, these fire holds. this was a sensitive deal from the beginning that was never guaranteed to centrally than just eat off a month. well, just as palestinians have relocated back to the homes of the 15 months of war, fare is growing up, the conflicts will start again. honey might lead report some reference southern dogs to where it's very forces maintain a significant presence were still reporting from rough i city and just minutes after the sunset, the area started to become more of a desert. here with a 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 military repeatedly failed to meet its obligations and honor the terms of the ceasefire. and the chief among them is the do of 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 the crossing for a 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 are going to resume the war and that has post once many of the people, the plans here to go back to their homes in northern part of districts and goals in many of the area that been control and devastated by these really military. we're still in rough, i city, we're seeing much of the devastation that is causing this not only causing fear, but also much of them on certain of the of the future of this city. similar to other parts of the gaza strip hunting, much more outages data from rough acetate palestine. it's not a nation's is warning that the number of palestinians being forced from the homes and okie pods. westbank is increasing at an alarming rate. within 40000 had been displaced since israel wants to submit your operation. within 3 weeks ago. stephanie deca of the still secretly from the window is rarely

soldiers arresting palestinians from their homes in the loop comp. in hebron. neighbors captured these moments in the dark of night, late night detentions are coming here, but have increased since these really minutes. we launched large scale offensive in the occupied westbank in january storming and rating several refugee camps, including janine to cut them and no trims in between the sound of explosions is really forces order, palestinians to leave notions. the one says the old sword has displaced at least 40000 people in just over 3 weeks. israel cools the military operation, iron room and says it's aimed at reaching out armed resistance fighters and preventing what it calls terrorist infrastructure from being established. but entire neighborhoods are being destroyed. israel is also carrying out air and drone

strikes in these densely populated areas. homes have been demolished, infrastructure destroyed, and there is a shortage of water and medication. the latest is ready operation and the occupied westbank started just a few days after the cease fire and goes off, took effect stephanie decker or g 0. so my head on i was just returning home off to decades. i jerry and refugees of finally leaving. they bring the, had a lower the satellite image across east asia. it shows a weather front and moving its way across the korean peninsula. and japan bringing significant rain to some areas that pushes out pretty quickly behind it. we've got cold and bringing more winter weather to the likes of chicago and home shoot. it

clears up behind that for the korean pin. and sheila will see some settled weather and sunshine was sold at 5 degrees celsius. and temperature is all set to pick up across the north of china, beijing at 10 degrees celsius shanghai at 9 degrees. it is looking more funny here, but we will see some west. so whether developing out west and across most central areas eventually work its way in through the weekend. it is looking very which as well across a taiwan over the next few days. not the dry story from much of south asia. we could see some showers coming in to bangladesh. that means while the mucky with hazy sunshine in jacka wester, across the northeast of india with some showers and thunderstorms of mountain snow as well. but for much of northern india and into pakistan, it is very dry picture as it is for much of the country and for a lanka, we will possibly see a shower or 2 in columbus. the story here is sunshine. that's your weather.

the the the,

you're watching out mind to about top stores the us president donald trump says he and the russian president vladimir putin have agreed to meet and begins folks to end. when you create, trump says a c spot is likely not too distant. future master negation is arrived in colorado. the tools of the sayings will postpone and next captivity egypt and the cats are trying to salvage the dogs, as the spot is, what has mobilized troops and one sent to the committee to protect journalist has released its annual report. the funding show that last year was a douglas project is since the organization began documenting 1992. it says 124 inch on this a media workers were killed across the world in 2024. israel is responsible for almost 70 percent of that total was $82.00 john. this is killed in dallas or in 311 and 59. so in this were killed in other parts of the world. so don and pockets dawn

were among the most dangerous for the medium. and at least 24 jetting this were killed because of that. what that includes 10 cases. what israel nodded members of the press, but deliberately targeting them in gaza and living in their portal. so highlights the unprecedented kidding. so freelance is 43 died in 202431 of those with palestinians in gaza area. we spoke to frank small in the founder and ceo of global journey security and a veteran that press freedom advocate. he says he's really a sold on guns that has caused the highest join his desktop on record. we've never seen a conflict with so many journalists have been killed ever since. 1992, going back in c. b j's data base and going back even to 1981 when the organization was found that. and if you go back in time to prior conflicts, there's no,

there's no death toll even in world war 2, world war one that we know of reach is this level. so this is extraordinary. and the fact that 70 percent of them had been killed by is really forces in the, in gaza or in the wider theater around gaza. is alarming a, c, b, j has also talked about impunity. now in the past, when c, b, j has talked about impunity, they're usually talking about impunity for journalists who were murdered or killed in homicides 2 shots in the back of the head. and then there's some, there's always been concerned about disputed shoes and shootings such as mays in dana, who was killed in a rock, i believe in 2003 or writers journalist and a shooting by us forces. but this is extraordinary, and it raises the question of impunity for war crimes or violations of the rules of war committed by is really forces. there are also work crimes agree just for crimes

committed by a mosse at the start of his conflict. but the over whelming majority of journalists killed since october 2022 in gaza and the your surrounding theater had been killed by his really forces. serious transitional precedence has announced the creation of a committee to shape the country's political feature. syria has been under the control of an interim government led by off my l. sharah says the phone of i shot out a southern descend. several um factions have agreed to dispense with the members being integrated into a future national force. it's not clear if general elections will be held. sullivan topic reports for the capital of damascus. the government has announced is 7 member committees, which comprises of members from the ruling coordination. the highest part of the shop group, which has been disbanded by the intern president. it also includes members of the civil society and 2 of them, and one of them is a christian. so all of them,

all of that hearing from the international community and the 2nd people of, into 70 and diversity being reflected in the actions of this government seems to have been taken on board. although this is a long way away from national dialogue where we're heading that more than a 1000 people, the citizens from all walks of life are expected to take part to try and charge it future strategy for sylvia. but this is going to be your 1st step, which is already being built in by some analysts who see this as a positive step towards bringing also you to the table to assuring them to discuss government to under. i'm of the shut off. that means what it says, and it will be reflected in actions as well. it is a long charge ahead because it was remembering the time of the shut off 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 ministry, he disbanded of the parliament. the constitution has been, has in advance and there is no more room or for the previous regime in anything

affiliated with the previous regime, which is under way. 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 me. it was essential to figure out who 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 some of the jobs of the semester. regulators have met to delegation of catholic bishops and the congress that you'll go and that's what the result, ongoing conflict with fighting between the army and m. $23.00 rebels resumed on tuesday after 2 days. course. un says more than 110000 people have been evicted

from displacement camps in the east and have no obvious place to get london back to m. 23 levels and its allies, the noise forcing them out, claiming that moving on entire the meanwhile, the african union meeting of foreign ministers is taking place in ethiopia as capital. the conflict and the democratic republic of congo is top of the agenda as part of a renewed diplomatic push to end. the fighting harm attached to has more than a sub of on what to expect from the african union summit. the main day is would be saturday and sunday. that's when the heads of states will be at this time. but right now, what's happening is the ministerial meetings way. the d. c. conflict is high on the agenda. some delegates, a saying there's a need an urgent need to defuse changes between the d. c, and rewind to otherwise nothing much could come out of this assignment. also on the table, a talks about measuring the different piece processes. one of these, a lawanda piece process and then arrow the piece process. the one to one is trying

to get the d. c under one to need us to meet face to face. i not the differences that really one is trying to get old placed around the table, including the rebels. but the problem with that is that the d. c. presence of materials, if you will not meet with the m 23 group of issues on the agenda, include the conflict into done issues and with applicants, hel, reason things like climate change was affect a lot of the continents also on the table will be the election of the african union, cheaper than any port in position because the asking you now has full membership in the g 20 we have is it led to the will take applicant issues to the international stays the next to 20 some. what will be inside that for the later in the so after go will want to push his interest in terms of trade, finance, climate change. what to do about us present donald's tons of policies, for example. so applicants, i'm hoping this person window elected will put advocates emphasis. this will show this as a community that applicants do match the applicants issues do matter. and the

voices are important when it comes to matches, involving the geopolitical stage item tasks out there at a stop by doing refugees or.
