and that isn't just a matter of science, that's a matter of what do you think about your fellow human beings because it is a matter of democracy. the israel will release 369, the largest number of alison and prisoners on saturday as part of a cease fire deal with how much the alarm from the sounds your life and also coming up house his name, the 3 is really kept as will do will, nationalities will be released as part of the swap, hoping for an engineering piece, palestinians in gauze, and continue to wait for temporary homes and shelter. still being blocked by israel

. a hail and ukraine would weaken europe. but it was also re, comes a united states, she says, refrains future lives in europe. the us vice president. there's a new sheriff into the israel is set to release 369 palestinian prisoners on saturday. and return for 3 is rarely captives. it will be the largest exchange under the ceasefire deal with how much a among them are. $333.00 palestinians from gaza who were detained by his rarely forces without charge. the prisoners will be released to the occupied westbank, occupied east jerusalem and gaza at least 25 people serving life sentences will be deported through egypt. how about us in the past and in the stomach? child have named the 3 is really captive held and gaza that will be released on

saturday. they are alexander truth and i'll, so he'd couch and, and yeah, your horn is real, says it has received the list and that it is acceptable. have this is a who it is live for us and i mind she's there because these really government and palestinian authority have banned alj, a 0 from reporting from both israel and the occupied west bank. but 1st, let's talk to jaime, my fluid whose life 1st and verify in southern god. so honey, how are people reacting to all the developments that have been analyses past couple of hours? well, so far what we're hearing and we're seeing it from people's reaction, it's a quite positive a to definitely give the people hope and a sense of relief compared to the past 3 days, where the news about the suspension of the release of, of captives from gaza. strip and exchange for palestinians. detainees from is really attention centered when to quite a still negative with its impact on people. and as of this early hour of this

morning, we're seeing a different mode right now. reacting to the news of the earlier statements just by the way, the came at earlier hours compared to the past exchanges a release of top that at this time as of the day a given the early hours of this morning compared to the past experiences, we would have to wait until late afternoon was or evening time to read at official statements by i'll forget or other palestinians fight in good deeds. the arrangements for the release of the top is from the gas here. so this has already set the stage for people to be more comfortable and to be more relief for the coming days that the, that phase one is going to continue as a schedule, as per the agreement between how much then as well. not as the deadline set by donald trump or go in as how much insisted it's it's compliance for compliance with the the terms of the agreement as the deadline has been already set for saturday,

a, the date for the release of the captive. so that has really changed a lot of things on the ground. the chief among them is the feeling of being relieved. now from the pressure that the cease fire was going to collapse or near collapsing, and what we see on the ground from people postponing their return to their homes because they are, they were worried of returning to the same quote, air of destruction and mass going that took place for the past 15 months of much of the devastation that we keep seeing every day. every day we cover new stores of the devastation of the past 50. and most people are already trying these days to take advantage of the ceasefire. to read the piece their life together and to try to rebuild their shudders life and honey, when it was announced that these 3 is really kept as would be released, it was also announced that as a result, there would be $369.00 promised indian prisoners released in exchange that's as i

understand that the largest number of palestinian prisoners exchanged thus far in the cease fire deal. how is that news being greeted where you want a similar to past exchanges. the release of palestinian destiny is inside the pension centers is always will come by palestinians as a whole, whether in the gaza strip and doc of pipe with bank or any palestinian anywhere the release of palestinian and prisoners are those good nap then and obtained by the v the monitor in the past 15 months old is good news for people because here's one fact about being and is very these deals where it is really present. you walk into the unknown from 9 dean us from the 1960 all the way to this day. it's close to $300.00 palestinians. the kidnapping, detained by is really a army. died inside cells in solitary confinement. that's the, the, the tragic and the harsh reality of

a day to present it to both many of the harsh treatment that steve and i, they shouldn't be that the physical torture as well as the abused at the in door. all that, that we've seen, or read examples of how palestinians are out of his way to prison, how they look, how they feel, much of the trauma and the tragedy have the look the quite a physically weak because of the months and years of its imprisonment of torture at the united nation. so a lot of people think of that as something positive because it's more of. 5 being resurrected from the dead than this is exactly how people feel about it. a lot. not many thoughts. people are where they get down and the data from me that question centers and schools are from the gaza strip in the past 50 months. we're going to see the lights of the day until the exchange is started to take place. so for these people that's always even more of a miraculous act that these people are walking out and they're going to see the day of the life because everybody thought they were going to die inside his videos and nobody knew about them. all right,

that sounds easier was how many my would live for us from dropbox in southern garza . thank you so much, honey. so let's cross now to have this in a hurry which was joining us from jordan's capital. i months come to what other details can you tell us about saturdays, upcoming release of captains? well, after a big week of uncertainty, how much did say that they would release 3 is really male captives on saturday and have released their names. they include an american is really a russian is really and an argentinian is really, but these really prime minister's office released a statement saying that they have received this list. previously. there was a statement saying they accepted it, but released an additional statement. walking that back saying that it was just a typo, but that they did receive the list. but it's the most we've heard from the prime minister's office in the last few days since have asked did indeed confirm that they would be releasing these captives. so what we can expect tomorrow is what

we've been seeing in previous weeks, 3 captives released handed over to the international committee of the red cross. and preparations being made for the release of palestinian prisoners from is really jails in the home. the, if you can just remind us of what the process is supposed to look like when it comes to the, the captives that are to be released during phase one of the ceasefire. that's right. in phase one, the $33.00 is really captives are set to be released according to his really intelligence. 25 are living and 8 are deceased. and as part of the agreement, women and children would be released 1st female soldiers as well, followed by men over the age of 50. and finally, those who are sick or in need of medical care and attention. and during the last week, we can expect the bodies of those who are deceased to be brought back to israel. but what we also know is that this is the largest number of palestinian prisoners

who are set to be released as part of this deal. but only 10 will be going to the occupied westbank $333.00 of them to the gaza strip. and one to occupied east jerusalem. all right, that's how this would lie for us in jordan's capital. i'm on thanks so much from javier. of all. he does a political analysts. he joins us now from bethlehem in the occupied westbank. javier so many developments over the course of the past few hours. obviously the cease fire process has been complicated from day one only seems to have gotten more complicated the past couple of weeks based on what you're seeing thus far. where do you think things stand and are you more optimistic now than you were a few days back? i think of how much clearly we are all more optimistic on this page. but again, we should remember that the government depends. i mean it's, i'm, yeah for which household the power to boy this whole process. it was never came to have a ceasefire. remember that's what we're facing now for according to what these freight

is doing on the ground level. if, if fire it's, it looks more like a kind of a, in, in minimizing a bit. the, the amount of attacks on palestinians we have over a 100 stimulus. kilten does a file that says fire. it was not supposed to, in any case, i think the release of kind of thing and prisoners. it's always a welcome. if it's something the kind of feeling society is expecting us your correspond. the thing that i was saying is the conditions for palestinian police centers. it's, i'm just, i'm known, we all know the tortured excess of people have been killed, demonstrated jails and the for it. i think this is a very important than welcome, a step home or something. but we're talking merely about the ceasefire in gaza and not about the more comprehensive agreement, the tubing what's going on here in the occupied westbank, heavier just in the past few days, there was a lot of concern that phase 1 may not even be completed. that's how fragile things seemed. of course, right now, after these announcements the past few hours, there seems to be a bit more cautious optimism,

a bit more momentum. but i'm curious to get your thoughts on where you think things stand when it comes to phase 2. because if things have gone according to plan, the details for phase 2 wouldn't be getting negotiated right now. are you confident in any way that those discussions will proceed? i'm confident on the 10 minutes and nothing. yeah. what's not interest that to get to face to eh, what's what p he's people the prime minister's office in is for have been leaking just really need be over the past week is what they would be willing to extend face one perhaps to offer a release of more publishing and precise but not reaching a stage to one because face to involve not just a, the withdrawal of israeli forces from all of them does it before the end of the war . but also because of the prospect of, of additional palestinian prisoners being released and particularly the expectations of many people having pa this time or who is considered to be the most popular

a fallacy leader. but one of the but we'll see from something that could be released after 25 years on a sorry to james. so from that something from that perspective, i don't think they've been something that them. yeah. who really wants to get the phase 2. and if we get to get to that place, it would be basically because of international engagement. however, after his visit to washington and manual because the producers have changed, and many people don't really trust that we are going to reach face to a at the time. but it's supposed to take place. all right, that's heavier, i believe, live for us there from beth lanham in the occupied west bank. thanks so much. have a great to get your perspective from the european commission presenters. lawanda lion is warning a failed ukraine would weaken the united states as well as europe. she made the comments at the munich security conference, where she also told the us, the cooperation was needed on trade. terror acts like the tax,

the drive inflation. the hardest hit are inevitably work cuz companies, the small income, the middle classes on both sides of the atlantic. and we know how quickly charged on effect essential, trans atlantic supply chains. we do not believe that this is good business and we want to avoid that below the race to the bottom. but as i've already made, clear, unjustified tariffs on the european union will not go on and search. our diplomatic editor james base joins us now. live for munich. james, ukraine, obviously on the top of the agenda there in unit with a call for unity from europe for ukraine. but us, vice president j. the van struck at a very different tone, right. the j d. vance, we were hoping perhaps we'd hit more of the ukraine piece plan,

the donald trump piece time for you try we didn't, we had changed events saying that he wants to focus on the enemy with it. and then that me states, i think, pretty big attack on european nations say that they was censoring of their own population. they weren't allowing free speech, they were cracking down. and what you said was this, what, what they say is this information. and he said was just that populations right to say and the thing that they want and he said that right should be respected. so on the crating fall, nothing new from vance, but i think it, it adds, i think, to be on the use that exists here in munich, particularly among the european allies about that relationship with the united states. let's discuss this further without dispos rasmussen, he is the former secretary general of nato. he's the former prime minister of denmark. how would you describe the atmosphere here in munich? well, in munich, we're still focused on the extra center this for us and busing go. russia represent

the major, right? so you'll repeat cute t. so 1st of all we have to fight the voltage. but i don't think the us necessarily agrees with that. does it in the way that you just put it? we have seen difference decorations from, from the u. s, and i would appreciate if that process leading to i lost the head for stadium or piece ukraine could begin, but whatever might be the outcome of that process, the ukraine would need security guarantees at the end of the road. either natal membership for security guarantees from individual or allies. but you know, how negotiations work and president trump 40 seems to have given us some of the call to way even suggesting ukraine's never going to get membership of the state. so we'll have some great visits where president trump is

a business man. you should know that to get a coach outcome, you need some liberal great labor and she award fee to provide to creighton is with the strongest parson for hand in those things. oh, sure. delivering on the weapon, say of pregnancy needs of offering you know, crane membership of a nature that should i mean, inconclusive. every thing should be on the table. nothing should be extruded in advance. you are the nato secretary general lines of you do many times during the war and i've got a song. and of course, although it was president biden, that's an executed the withdrawal. the negotiations were done by president trump. do you see any coast, all of those negotiations? when again, many people say, is it the way it was negotiated by the americans pulled the rug under the gun

administration? absolutely. i see maintenance similarity is and i would say to trump don't let you cream, becomes your advantage. don't let food to defeat you to see these. but it should be a fair and last the, the center that the end, the equipment needs beauty guarantees. when you are the top tables of international leaders that were lots and lots of challenges, but there was a way business with that was done when you have difficulties you 10 days to talk about them, at least the 1st behind closed doors. how do you see the way the way this is being done now the transactional, aggressive way it's being done? well, it's a new style, no doubt, addressing your of we have to adapt to this uh, that new style. and we should conclude that these to us does not execute each rower as it was for each man. then we have to be able to protect

ourselves. we have to invest much more in our own security. you say a new style, but let me take it to your own country. denmark, president trump said he wants greenland. greenland is a ton of a region of denmark, and he says, if necessary, you use always not ruling out using military force. how's that going down in your country? we couldn't see the a to see rare, so we're, i mean, green then does that constituent in the search charts? uh, american security. the americans already present a queen and they have a patient green that we have a security agreement between the us and denmark, that added onset and i to the stage church. and that means that presents is our wish. so we, we would actually welcome should a strong call us freshman's in greenland. so if that's what pressing on,

which is then he could get it without reckoning at close and reliable, allied like denmark. this year marks the a to sound of the 3 of the end of the 2nd world war of the signing of the un shots and all the things that followed, including nato. are you worried that we're entering a new era and the international norms? the international rules are collapsing? yes. actually, i think we are approaching a new word or a new world order with a 3 centers of the sphere of entrance entrance to the u. s. were dominated south america and north america. i'm try greenland, as well as russia way to dominate the your ration region that is central asia and europe and china,

the south east asia. and the in that word order easily be the will of the strongest federal government. the worthy will not be aware of law, but these will be the ruler of the roo slash, i think in euro we should fight against that word or by investing much more in our own defense. thank you very much. and this will rasmussen the former prime minister of denmark and also from the secretary general of nato to join us here at the unix security conference where the discussions continue a range of subjects. obviously ukraine and european american relations very, very high up on the agenda moment. all right, that's allergies. here is diplomatic editor james base life for us from munich. thank you so much. james. still ahead on al jazeera, the cases of sexual violence are on the rise and eastern democratic republic of congo as fighting escalates and cracking under record prices. we find out why

of african. so for us it's about so being that put it to representation pockets with fresh perspectives from less are heard. voices the stream, explores the key issues of our time on algebra of the, [000:00:00;00] the, on the how much enjoying your watching out to 0. a reminder of our top story is this, our israel is set to free 369 palestinian prisoners on saturday in the largest release under the cease fire deal. both of them were detained in gaza during the war. at least 25 people serving life sentences will be deported through each of us. and the

palestinian islamic john of named the 3 is really captive. seldom gaza will be released on saturday as part of the deal. they are alexander trooping off couch and, and you are the ukranian president. the loading the landscape says europe will have to unite behind ukraine, so it can protect itself. speaking at the munich security conference to lensky says, decisions about ukraine's future can't be taken lightly. for us sled committee monitoring the ceasefire between his bullet and his real confirmed that israeli troops will be pulling out of population centers in southern lebanon by february. the 18th deadlines set by the agreement that soldiers will remain stationed in strategic positions just in 5 live in on the lebanese government has rejected the decision saying, hold the reports from beta. the lebanese army has been moving into villages along the southern border, as is ready, troops pull out it's part of the ceasefire deal. that's the end of the war between

hezbollah and as well. in november with the help of un peacekeeping troops, 11 on is expected to keep, has beloved away from isabel's border as well claims that still hasn't happened. and it is why it wants to hold onto 5 strategic locations, just inside lebanon. after february, 18th, the deadline for its troops to withdraw. israel does not trust entirely de new political leadership that has come to power in lab and on and wants to have the last word in the implementation of the terms of the ceasefire. and therefore, it keeps met and keeps presence on that to return. in order to surveil, isabel has already missed an initial january deadline to withdraw. this doesn't help lebanon's new leadership, which is trying to extend the state's authority under the cease fire deal. it is also required to disarm hezbollah, which was the most powerful actor in the country. the smartest thing for these

released to do right now would be to end definitively the issue of occupied territories. get out 11 on as per the international agreements get out of the ship of farms in northern has just an end this issue and allow the lebanese state to fully try to control. and to then also this arm has above an invoice from the trump administration. was invaded last week. morgan ortega's didn't use the word withdrawal, but re deployment. when she said the us was committed to the february 18 deadline. i say fire has been in place like november is really strikes, i guess what the army called has the military assets continue and they are not expected to stop even after is ready to leave. 11 on israel has made that clear is believes that service agreement gives it the right to act against what it considers immediate threats posed by hezbollah has the last fighting capacity has been

effected by the war. but it continues to try to project strength through its supporters, along some stretches of the border. they're seen driving with the groups, flags in the message of defiance. but there is a new political order in lebanon and the ceasefire deal is not. it has been less favor center for their eligibility to build your stuff is accusing on demand likely on both sides of the conflict of raping young children. at least 170 boys and girls received medical treatment in eastern d r. c in just one week that includes boys who were raped as retaliation for refusing to join an armed group or to fight. it's part of a surge in human rights violations. i'm just here a spoke to women and goma, the capital of north keeble province. we say they were sexually assaulted during fighting between m. 23 rebels and government forces 2 weeks ago. catherine solely reports. this woman says she was raped in her home in goma. we call hi sabrina.
