welcome to the news, our palestinian arms. groups of name 3 is really captives, health and gaza will be released on saturday as part of the ceasefire deal. all 3 are due is released citizens, they're being really easton exchange for 369, palestinian prisoners and detainees. hondas on which is joining us from jordan's capital. i mind reporting from there because that is really government. and the palestinian authority have banned all 0 from operating and israel and the occupied westbank. so that exchange happening in a few hours from that. meanwhile, as really media is reporting that talks on the 2nd phase have reportedly begun. what more do we know about this? well these leaks in is really media say that the negotiations for phase 2 began but with the objectives of releasing captives still held in gaza. not necessarily toward the end to the war or rebuilding of gaza as the rhetoric within these really

realm and the american realm has shifted within the last couple of weeks. it's also worth mentioning that according to these reports, the american envoys through the middle east, steve wood, cough is working with other mediators like egypt. and i thought to try and figure out how to release the remaining captives in phase one earlier, then outlines in the deals so after the captives are released tomorrow, there are said to be 6 remaining captives who are alive. those are the ones who are set to be released in phase one. that is now the schedule is supposed to be they to be released on february 22nd and on march 1st. but the americans are working to try and expedite that timeline. but it's a little bit unclear exactly how that's going to take place, because how may still accusing israel of holding really important a that's supposed to go into the gaza strip in the form of caravans, other sorts of mobile homes and tends to house palestinians in the interim until

their homes can be rebuilt in the 2nd and 3rd phases of this deal. but it's also worth mentioning that israel has not given any sort of official comment about tomorrow's release. okay, thank your homes. i thank you for that recording from a man. meanwhile, the un has warrens that cannot undo 15 months of suffering and gaza in the space of a few weeks. palestinians lack shelter and the most basic necessities like food and medicine. israel has been accused of blocking much of the desperately needed aid from entering gaza convoys carrying mobile homes. that heavy machinery have been waiting for is really approval on the egyptian side of the border crossing. how my says this is a breach of a ceasefire deal. earlier a diplomatic attitude. james base spoke to felipe was a really, he's the commissioner general, a foreigner. right? so you and relief and works agency for palestinian refugees. he says a fam and has been prevented in gaza. the palestinians are still facing desperate

conditions. all the needs. uh, i use for the position in the guys obviously need absolutely everything they need the shelves turns to need the um, more medicines and we'll need more the rest of it into full do need the, the so called the item switched to not come into gaza. but at least the good news is that the, the hunger, the deepening of the anger has been prevented. present drugs of course is the situation and cause is so bad that everyone has to leave. and he's also suggested the palestinians should leave for good. what? so you ends position on, on, on, on the fight. the situation is so bad to rebuild the tire, treat everyone, the whole territory would have to be depot was the, the situation is extremely bad. everything is destroyed. and the reason why we need a strong plan to rehabilitate and rebuild the gaza for the position of the united nation and the international community regarding force of displacement is very

clear. those should be no fault displacement because this would constitute the will crime or family is displaced by israel's devastation of northern goals are trying to live where ever they can with neighborhoods, bomb to rubble, palestinians are enduring in a place that was never meant for the living a cemetery and she was in the east of gaza city. but i haven't had any reports. it's hard work. but now that i'm with him with these, the round 20 families inhabited 20 pins and this a graveyard and to make more space for the living. now there must, this are the dead mountain bottom, the model on the fed. what can we do? gaza is destroyed, and all the shelters are overcrowded. we live here among insects, among the bones at the dead, a series of basic existence. now, cherry space with rocks and shattered grave stones sheets, blankets ended flying and call this and many people who have nowhere else to go.

realtors, i see in the upper or so here, as you can see, this is a child whose father was murdered during the war. he lives with us together with his mother because they can find a place for themselves. so the mother came here to live with us and she's a cemetery. our suffering is massive of the formulas where life year is simple and, and brutal, have enough children not to freeze, find enough food for your children to starve. and it takes its toll on those forced to endure way. i'm not to say no, there are no bathrooms, no place has to take a shower. we don't have food. the raines hit us heavily. my daughter gave us a week ago and there is no proper place here for we live on the bodies of the dead . no one cares about that house seeing as in gaza, or in a kind of level call between war and peace between this i'm life. some have no choice but to wait and see that the reason for whatever tomorrow might bring,

but was so many killed in the last few months. my supervisor is a graveyard. now this claim was i really just the wrong guys, a city. how does fine? well, even in the midst of desperate conditions, people in gauze are looking ahead to the upcoming exchange of captives for prisoners, honey maxima. the reports in the southern city of hon. unice throughout the days would be unable to monitors people reactions to the news of releasing captives as of tomorrow and experience for 369, palestinian prisoners among the 300 fruit. this 3 palestinians did not been detained if from evacuation centers of, from schools or from hospitals from their homes in the past 15 months. business has provided policy me with a sense of relief, a sense of hope that the ceasefire is going to stand. and despite all the challenges within the past, the 3 days as there was a suspension of the release of the hostages, met with the challenges by these various side,

coupled with very intimidating statement by the us. the president who suggested that by uh, saturday afternoon deadline. all hell will break out here in the gaza strip that has a frightened people and give them a sense that the word is coming back to cease fire was the threat of collapsing and, and the mice being pushed back to the same square of mass going and nice destruction the news of today hasn't changed to mode and give people more hope and more relief that the ceasefire will continue there. also a wide believe that this will affect the entry of a but so far what we're seeing is the same amount of aid we've seen in the past weeks. and since the beginning of the ceasefire more of the food parcels and more of the basic necessities, but we don't see many of the basic essentials like the truck simple. those are the solar power panels. the powers in areas that are much needed right now. the many things that needs to be live in to help people to support their existence at this difficult time of the or whether it's changing. as for sending people,

they need to be protected, need to be warm and needs to be in proper shoulder. but that does not happen, it is expected to happen as soon as the captains are release of how the city and the prisoners are released. the from is really deals and it's really detention centers as of tomorrow until then. people are going to be watching closely. it'd be very anxious to see that development as of tomorrow, where the exchange of copies and policy prisoner will take place. i didn't before. i was just data from eastern hon eunice until i had been wrote palestine. okay, well last week to tommy, who did, who is a distinguished public policy fellow with the american university virus, they root joining us from boston. welcome back to al jazeera, so the exchange is going ahead in a few hours time. but in your opinion, how fragile does the cease fire remain the o it's always fragile. you never know what my disrupted, but this was the most significant. a tension that we've had in this situation for since it started and the fact that it was overcome. i think suggests that it's

going to happen to the, the, for the cease fire is going to continue. the really tough part is now phase 2, when the negotiations will have to tackle these rallies fully getting out of gas. and the power sending and starting to plan to rebuild a deal with other matters of governance and things like that. but i think it's going to go go ahead because everybody's benefiting from it. the only person who really wants to not to go ahead is nothing at all for his personal incumbency, but he seems to be overpowered by the american desire for the ceasefire. the skill of the country and egyptian negotiators on their under and on insistence on getting this done on the desire of how much on the palestinians to have the ceasefire continued. look, there are reports that seems to suggest that this hour,

that the us own voice steve would cough is trying to speed up the release of the remaining captives who are still alive in gaza as part of this phase one. why with the americans want to expedite that timeline? now, if true, if it's true, it's probably because they want to do a favor to the is rarely is because they feel that they can help these rallies in any way they can. that's there. and one of their main jobs in life. so if you're an american political leader and perhaps they'll get something in return for that, it's hard to tell the, the united states is under pressure by the israel to either wage war against the wrong or healthy is rarely is attacked. iran in the united states seems pretty reluctant to do that. that doesn't want to get into a war of that nature and it wants the guys are fighting to end as well. but it's, it's not clear if this is going to happen. but if it does happen,

the palestinians will get something in return because one of the really important lessons of what we've experienced and the phase one of the cease fire has been the ability of how i'm asked to insist on being treated with the same respect and respect for the rule of law on the agreement that israel has treated enough to be taken for granted. and that's why i am a said we're not going to release the prisoners until is real. that's, that's part of the deal and the is really good. so this is a pretty significant, the moment when the, the arrows to the ground and the egyptians, and jordanians and others stood with them. and it's not so easy to push the palestinians around as used to be, but, and the final analysis, the last resort for these rivers in the americans, there's a key bombing, but it's not gonna have to evaluate those. that's not gonna achieve anything more

than what they've achieved so far. so a peaceful resolution of the conflict is a better alternative. now, look, i'm glad you bring up the arabs and the instructions and the jordanians. because certainly the us presidents, i mean, he's talks about forcibly displacing causes entire population, which of course goes against international law as well as resolutions for the arabs . though how difficult the situation is this, these countries are meant to now come up with an alternative plan, get at the same time their strong u. s. allies, some of whom receive substantial financial aid from the u. s. o, this is essential for a job done jordan video. they rely on the us for their continued survival and almost militarily economically, politically and, and other ways of so they, they can't just eat, especially jordan, which is much smaller. egypt is a bit stronger, but even the egypt is very,

very vulnerable given its depth and it's, it's your mama condition, the poverty and they don't really have the ability on their own to stand up to the us fully. but that's when a so the link is important that i think the change and the so the language and behavior that we've had with us in the last year is really quite significant. that's not fully clarified yet. we will have to see they're hosting a summit soon. or some on the out, the key are countries and they're gonna come up with a counter plan to present to drum and to the world. and this is really, really significant because they have so broadly speaking, have not been able to really take initiatives related to their own condition on their own rights on their own desires. they've tended mostly to respond to the initiatives of others, whether it's a foreign powers or these rallies or somebody else. so this the,

so the link is really critical. this is also have loaner abilities, the to the west, some foreign powers, but they're much, much more powerful and they will generate more respect. i think for the world if a lead a process by which a serious proposal is put forward to re, uh, rebuild jazz a letter from manage itself. i left the palestinians. mileage a guy was a, with a significant out of an international aid, but not under the some of these rarely as the, or the americans. and this is not only a technical counter proposal. this is really a symbolic gesture that the colonial period has to end at some point. okay, thank you so much. what on the, who the distinguished public policy fellow with the american university of a routes? joining us from boston. thank you. thank you. the, the,

in the democratic republic of congo and 23 fighters have entered because that's the capital of sales people province. it comes hours after they captured an airport in the nearby town of cover, hulu. that airport is critical to supplying the d. r c's army, which is being supported by burundi and forces. the rebels of rapidly gains more territory after taking control of go my 2 weeks ago. heavily armed chronically soldiers were seeing on the streets in blue cobble earlier on tuesday, catherine sawyer, our correspondent, joining us on the phone from nairobi. katherine, the rebel alliance leader, has now confirmed that the troops did indeed enter boot capital. what else are we hearing this? our i guess we've been speaking to uh, commanders of m. 23. 0, who are on ground? and they said now they are in the process of just the securing the area more

picking up that area. we know that the army was trying to protect because who left the area a while back. we also know that says the government officials, who are a call, who also last now are you, as you mentioned, um m 22 and its all lied to the airport. the main airport in couple moves. uh, that's about to 35 uh 30 kilometers away from lou calvo as that airport has a military base as well. again, so the military that was controlling the airport who left without a fight. now we understand in the look for the last 3 weeks or so that because some of the soldiers are a bit disappointed about what has been happening, particularly in go low,

where many of the school just was killed. so they say that they do not want to engage because of the grievances that they have. now what all this means is that now and 53 has the control of south q n or q booth. a we've had vast mean it will, it cost to do old to has a control of a lake q which is a very important boot where the empty tray can now get the supply in and out the 2 cables. so very strategic development right now, especially when it comes to a and $23.00, we are gaining more a territory. it's catherine. what is the impact of all of this on the people there and what are you hearing about the humanitarian situation? yes,

um. so when i'm 23 started, i'd wanting to because people the residents there was very afraid because they so what happened ingle, my doing that takeover more than 2000 people were killed. a lot of the residents did not have war time at tcp as they stayed home for days doing that fly thing. so people in because who thought it was going to be the same, but tonight would be toward because who is a quiet that know gunshots? people are at home, of course, right now it's at night. so we're going to have to wait to see how speed the loop during the day. but again, a lot of the, a lot of people in particularly north keywords have been displaced. and because

people say that they just one piece, they just want a solution. okay, thank and catherine, so reporting from nairobi. well, the i'm 23 revel advance comes ahead of the african union summit set to start on saturday. an audi solvable lawanda has denied any involvement and recent violence in the d r c. what i was trying to say is that we are not accepting the single point instructors because we want to know about dwanda has to close on and has one to how it has a nova at tactical. and we'd never do. so. what do i have done is phase of that nothing kind across from the table and you'll find that is also good. i thank you very much. well, the congo least president felix for security has confirmed he will not attend the african union summit and has accused juanza and officials of lying about their involvement with the office. it's not that i don't trust the afternoon union,

but i'm also astonished by the i'm these yet that you apparently it must be a habit and the wrong and routing class to be struck by news yet when the world's cameras have shown how the rwandan army invaded the democratic republic of the congo, a representative of rwanda says that they've never attacked the congo. well, they live in their dream world, cement. remember, these are the senior fellow and director of the africa program at the center for strategic and international studies. joining us from washington dc get to have you with us. so if indeed the rebels now control both cells, keep a north key. bu how big a set back is this for the government and the military, and the d. r. c, a very in thank you for having me. it is unimportant on the developments now that because he's about to fall, it is a big, big deal. that's the question is not so much that they control both area. so the question is, what is next? this is not the 1st time the m. 23 has done this kind of incursion. we will

remember that dm's 22 has come to the region before meaning north keeping, particularly, but it means other 1000000000 in the rebellion in the region. so the main question 2 days ok will cover falls, then what do they continue to march down to 0 and soft cable? or do they take a hold of the 2, provost is and just stop there. the problem is taking because is not really really raising the n t, because not only just next door, and loony as heads. troops in the congo warranty is bilateral agreements with the d, r, c, and balloon d, as in very times relations with the whiskey valley. so this means that the conference is about to escalate. we don't know in which way, what is the end goal for m $23.00 and for the countries supporting it. so we don't know, this is part of the challenge is when we talk on the talk on the top of these

program rhonda is always denied its involvement. that's already makes it very difficult. we know that united kingdom, united nations, united states, all the big institutions and countries, the money to the region of set up the rondon troops. i involved rhonda is united continuously. that doesn't change the fact that the is the price and everybody's reporting that the m 23 is one and back because the one the is use denial as part of these engagement. it makes it very difficult to have peace process. it piece process that makes sense because the piece process cannot be done with the m $23.00 alone. i'm 23. does one of the many on group seem to reach and so we're on the is really the big sponsor if you will, in this area, wanda, is put out some grievances that need to be address, but it's good. this is getting only be address if other parts of the responsibility

is also taken by one dog so that they can come to the table and get those issue address properly. both sides of this conflict may be 3 tied, 3 size if you want to use. and 23 d r c. and rhonda has the onset of grievances and those can only be address when everybody's taking responsibility for the group versus the addressing. so whole brings them to the table. i mean, of course on saturday, as you know is the a, is the a new summit come the africans a tougher? can countries find a solution here or who, who plays that role? as i'm fortunate to this is not enough. we can problem. this is a global problem. well, we know that they cross border issues. rhonda is made to clear the d r c as well, but there's also another reality here. the d r c is an important country in spite of the various problems that it's facing today. it's more, it is 9 countries. it so is reaching minerals which and the other resources,

but to struggle with its leadership and struggle with governors. when d r c folks in it dominates the region. so the other countries in the region has no interest in seeing a d r c. that is functional. the reality is most countries in the region would like to see the or see that this week. and d, i see that is barely functional and in the cases of countries like romando, you've gone to it come to dr. allows them to continue taking resources to the on benefit. so also we need to keep in mind that the organization like the european union, as, as a blog signed and mining agreement to fonda. it is clear that trundle does not have the level of resources that you want. and it's also well established. that's one that has been the conduit to resources out of the d r c. that means this is a global problem. it's not to run to the problem is not to communities problem, it's everybody's problem. so it's time to find is ball. so whether it's the nor

away united states and that the country that can take leadership in bringing these partners or neighbors together to try to a call to solution that would be lasting. that's the key. that is beyond individuals that commit countries and institutions. that's kind of a piece of process is not being seen in the region and the seems like regional leaders, particularly the neighbors of go, i'm not interested in such a and if not, how concerned are you that the impact off all of this will spill over regionally it's a real threats and it's a real possibility, but that's will depend on what the back codes of m. 23 will do it to depend on what concerns will do. it will depend on what the east africa community will do and exactly also what decided,

southern africa development community will do. we know that side because troops in d, r. c does any and have troops them allow we as well as south africa. we know some south african troops we killed about 2 weeks ago. so they are tensions between different countries here as much as the tension between the r c and, and the run the tension between samsung and rhonda the tensions between south africa and wanda. that's why i mean that this is not just enough, it can probably of interest the communities and run them. problem, is it much bigger problem than that? and the solutions need to be adequate. okay, thank you so much for speaking to us from washington dc. my pleasure, very of all the un secretary general antonia the terrace, has called for an end to what he described as the dramatic suffering episodes in these people as the, as long they call the month of ramadan approaches. the terrace also calls for an end to the flow of weapons. this comes as the susan, these army is making progress, and its fight to regain control of cartoon from the parent military rapids support

forces. the military captured a major bridge connecting the east of the capital to the cell. the one has also condemned the tax on account housing displaced people in north star for we are very much alarmed by the escalation of fighting in and around this. i'm displacement kept in no fashion nor door for the office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs says the attacks by the rapid support forces on the captive increased over the past week. with reports including satellite images indicating the use of heavy weaponry and the destruction of the main market area. international n g o. as in sam's, i'm have reported extensive civilian casualties, which you've added here, and personnel among those reportedly killed sometimes is estimated to be hosting hundreds of thousands of displace uh people, child. and yet us don's unicef representative. he says that conflict has caused the largest humanitarian emergency in the world,

but is not getting the attention it deserves. the conditions are catastrophic. we're now 2 years into this war. we are seeing the largest humanitarian, where do you see in the world? and frankly, it's not getting the attention you deserve. i thank you for putting some attention on it today. we've got some 5000000 displace children. we've got pockets of famine . who's got outbreaks of colorado. we've got some 80 percent of children throughout the country. not going to school, we've got health centers, hospitals, schools being hit by uh, why, what ends up being boned, being targeted. we've got a re violations against the child, right. so the children kidnapped to children, kill children main. um, we have a massive catastrophe here, a one that needs more attention and one of them is and still ahead on the out. is

there a news our protest or is 11 on set fire to a un car. and during a peacekeepers here in a room here for us at around.
