bullets. a soldier did this out of his own welcome a potential for because who is another blows the d. c. government, so 40 in the east, on january, the for the i'm 23 rebels to control of my cc, colton mining hub and north q province. they also began mounting towards south k through taking the port town mendoza. the coffee on these supplies from boats crossing lake keeper. with game isolated the rebels swept into the city and announce the capture on january the 27th. and now with the possible culture of the cover, the group effectively controls the lake area bordering valenda. and we have to correspondence following the story from east africa, haven't metasource in addis ababa where african lead is amazing for an annual summit. but 1st, let's go to catherine story in nairobi who's following the developments on the ground at east d. c said catherine, what is the very latest happening in accomplish?

yes, um the rebels have not just entered uh because they are ted. they have taken control of it. we have seen that the fight says in the see to center. they have been talking to residents in the independence class and they have been telling residents to stay calm and have told them to go back home until the school situation is sorted out. so we have had a from the rebel commanded just telling the residents to go back home for now. so we also know the military, the soldiers of who was supposed to protect was causing left of that area because of that security vacuum. we seen lots of things, looting in people's homes, people's whole uh, businesses and also um, you know,

agency offices as well and government offices as well. we also know that about 2000 inmates who are in the present ha, it's so have also the flag from the back of a facility. so what all this means is that now m 23 has taken control of a big chunk of north cube proteins. and south q will providence as well, and it's strategically, it also means that to, they've taken charge of, you know, the air port 0 port in lakes keeble. and these are the regions that have minerals like, you know, less array of minerals. uh so we also know that to m 53 leadership has been said that it wants to speak directly to contrast that to the government about the grievances they have. but i can show us that the government there

a saying that that will not happen because this group is being backed by one dot and it keeps you also wants to talk directly with a new one. but we also know that that had been on the s f for particularly for the catholic church, which is very, very influential to bring this local leaders together like you know, the opposition, the president, and also m 53 to see how this issue can be resolved. but it's very, very in are the days uh when it comes to those talks that the catholic church is a, b r, a d, y capturing with the very latest and the situation. and because the reports, the of m. 23 rebels now seen in the sense of the city, the 2nd largest in eastern d. c. catherine. so in order to be, thank you. let's go to harm a task who joins us now from the african union subsidy. you can cancel that as of a bond. so how are you giving it to ya? see, president is not there at the summit. what is being said about the deepening crisis

in d. i see the one is not the 1st meeting that he's, he's missing, imagined to simultaneously recent, gather eastern, southern african be this, but to find out more about the a you and the 2nd of what's happening, undergrad into the d. c. i'm doing mike before my asking in to missing treatments and what's inside. that means you might thank you very much for talking to us when you are the cheapest thing of the d. c wasn't. is it still let me see? what can be done to big piece very well, i think we should not think that these can be sold through more. i think it to the sides through sitting down. and that's the ending that roots quotes and been trying to address those costs and not seeing we can fight each by the hours. but that was the thing,

that's the d h c itself should pay attention to all the coordinates of that they should be no power to see that that the, i need to make i know d. s, these are very big country. so it's not the easiest, but i think it's f, which be made in the see should be, has to really be then to, for the coordinates of let's talk about the us 8 types and how it just takes us to, to how can the content and deal with these 8 when made it difficult situation like these much i'm just saying is that this is an opportunity for us to realize that to invest date would be to to

realize that it must develop its own the at north. i think it's good to leave would be so i think it's. ringback cool, and we must, we come at lake. so that's what able to look up to us as we have the lease us. if we really appreciate to see we'd get to elect to sort of flip the if we started to to see what we couldn't see what we'd see fit to, to fund if we saw that to a pension funds, we had fords when we get money, insurance funds and everything would be able to expand those goods and let's move away from 8 to plate and to invest, to invest in

a matter because i didn't let me be so much. thank you very much for taking us to for my asking in commission cheaper such as if you need us, we'll be discussing a lots of issues here. sign is the last day of some of the final communicate will be released later on sunday evening apartment types of them and how this up about the that is really striking southern cause it has killed at least 2 palestinian police officers and injured as the spies and ongoing seesaw. this wanted to hold the attacks to strike happens in this of the city of rafa says the policemen were deployed to help secure the entry of a trunks. he's ready, army says it targeted quote and individuals moving towards and soldiers. a mass us repeatedly accused israel, a violating the seas, 5 deal and ways just 2 weeks until the end of the 1st phase of the seas,

5 several tubs have yet to be implemented by israel. that includes the delivery of 60000 mobile homes of palestinians of who have no way to live up to 15 months. so it's really bombardment who say font let's try the authorities that haven't allowed any of them into gaza via the roof of border crossing with egypt. that's gonna be heading to a northern gauze or speak to honey my mood. so honey, i want to start 1st. see with news of this attack and roscoe, one more, do we not as well on his radar strike target. a law enforcement and security person are securing the delivery of a truck coming off kind of a style him to the crossing to the main leading road in dropbox, city and into distribution points designated by honor. what by units defend by other international organizations and local organization? this is not the 1st time we're seeing this attack happened. but today's the time in

a time of c as fire is a, is another violation of the terms of the seas by a part of the failures of these really side. not only a lot, a comply with the obligations of the term of the seas fire, but also the many repeated failures of securing a safe route for a into the gaza strip. if we have so far, people who would aid workers were killed in et cetera. talk to people who are seeking aid, the waiting for flour trucks were killed as well. in addition to the many of the law enforcement personalities. security guards are hired at by the ministry of interior or the are members of the ministry of interior securing the delivery of aided trucks into the gospel to people reported killed in a 3rd one in a critical conditions. as we were told by medical source inside the hospital and his life is a, is a bank at a very critical point right now. it is very military use the same exact needs

deploying it drones, which is another violation of the terms of this. these fire that fired at least one missile on the security person out of the group as they were securing the delivery of a truck at the right. and on a, as we were saying, there's still these huge shuffles in age of uh for people in guns that including of course, the delivery of those $60000.00 homes. absolutely, there is, and there is no indication that this is going to happen any time soon. have the latest we've heard about that this, these really government rejection complete rejection of the entry of corvette and mobile homes into the gaza strip. now this has just one at a conclusion. it's further complicates the situations on the ground. it creates further difficult living conditions for people returning to their homes in the

northern parts and, and gaza city without these will buy homes. people are going to continue to have difficult times in terms of providing protection and, and to proper shelters to their family members in the city a bit handle. and this is just a sample of what we've been seeing over and over in different parts of the gastro. but we're seeing people here who set up tons here in this area. it's in the middle of the demolish side as per se, as many of the buildings at its vicinity, has been severely destroyed completely. a severely damaged, completely destroyed by many months of devastation and bombs fall in on this area, which by the way, it's a border line. very close. we are one kilometer away from the border light. we can from here see the military post on the other side of the, of the camera, but here many of these buildings accommodated many of the families for now in these temporary shelters. the 10 sites that were built as soon as people return here took them some time to clear rubble it from here to use their bare hand and many of the

operated tools to remove the rubble and set tens and use for use of old and recycled materials. to be used in the past months, many people are re refraining away from sending up to 10 to trying to find a, a temporary shelter inside some of the buildings like the one in the back at where the tried to find shelter inside some of this still standing but severely damaged buildings, but again, the, these are, these people are trask now of, of losing their life of being injured, being hurt because many of these buildings are at risk of lapsing the bonds that were used here. so the foundations of many of these buildings, including the hospitals on the left side, the mosque and the background, and the police, the station, or the police department here. and also destroying many of the water was in the area. many people who are lower of this morning waited for a to trucks to a for water trucks to come today, or you have to get water. but as soon as these trucks left many of the,

the less fortunate one, we don't have an option. but to wait until the next morning to have their share of water for the day and vice a a picture of what is left of 891 with that, thank you. and then ok by the westbank, these ready ministry operation and took around and its neighborhood come, has entered a 4th week is already full days, is continue to destroy the remaining infrastructure, cutting off water, electricity, and communication networks. troops of set up new military outposts within the homes of palestinians who being forcibly displaced within 15000 people to fled. as is right, the soldiers continued to carry out home raids and vehicle inspections. yes, 2nd, we have state marco rubio is in israel, and his 1st trip to the middle east is america's top diplomat. he set to mates is rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu in the coming hours. we are landed shortly after the latest exchange of it's ready. come to so putting you into tanny's. his trip comes as present. donald trump pushes his widely condemned plan for us to take

over the gaza strip. still ahead on out just sarah. re or did you knew i was chorused, feeling the worst of a sweltering heat waves, the the hello we got the usual shop showers across the good parts of south east asia, which is where the recently has been down into indonesia. some big down. pause here . $72.00 millimeters afraid in that $24.00 as a typical kind of value for southern parts of the region more heavy showers, the average to the philippines. solomon i received some lot of shows lose on things and pretty wet weather as you go on through what monday wanted to shout was creeping over towards vietnam. maybe until allows maybe into time, but nothing too much to speak of here over the next few days. what's

a little further south? you can see some. what's the weather coming back into borneo as we go 13, tuesday. the shower has started to ease a little further east was of the states. small tra, pushing down into a java seek some very wet weather along with the far north of australia. i'm pleased to say that so i wrote typical side kline xhylia continues to make his way further south as a weakening, as it does so the rain becoming a little more patsy as we go through the next few days, but it's still there. you can see as driving his way across to the positive w way for monday. how does that loveseat dry, high pressure trying to dominate things here? keeping it essentially 2nd, 2nd full most temperatures getting up into the low, 27 melvin. we're looking at some what the weather gravity making his way to new zealand or the democratic nations justify this kind of behaviors, colorado,

beverages collateral damage. that's why we all team is leading to what we're seeing that will allow me to push back for a moment is the you are systems corporate is real effective. it's a little bit standing from the impact of the us selections, the escalating conflict in the middle east of the urgency of climate action upfront sets the stage for serious debate on out jersey or it's the the, your challenges here is a reminder of our top story is this our panic as went through because we were in the eastern democratic republic of congo after over when to find m. 23 rebels and to the city. soldiers and civilians have fled to widespread looting has being

reported and is ready as strike is code to posting a policeman in southern gaza despite the ongoing c spy. a mass nice thing with deployed to help secure the entry of a trucks and rough or east, where the army say they targeted and individuals now is ready. the army, drug and strikers, killed at least 3 people in southern lebanon. several others were injured when the best saw his car in the town of john to. the ministry says it talks, he's a senior, has black amanda european leaders, including the french president, emmanuel, my phone and british prime minister kissed thomas at the holes and emergency summit on the war. a new crane. this comes as washington is taking the lead on, pushing for talks with russia to end the conflict. the fee is the cure and the rest of your may not have much of a say in those negotiations, automatic as a james base reports from the munich security conference. the rain creams leader

had to be somewhat restrained, a diplomatic. despite this being the week, the president trump said he was planning to fly to russia to negotiate with president boots in the us suggested his country would never be allowed to join nato . that is until now, this is the moment zalinski hits back. let's be on us now. we con, throughout the possibility that america might say no to europe on the east, that threats and that many, many leaders have told it was your that means its own military. and i me, and i mean of you are a, and we, and or not from trip to russia. he was even planned to put in was one on one, talks with america, just like before the war when they met in switzerland. and it looked like to call

them up the world next put in, we'll try to get the u. s. president. standing on the red square on maine on may 9th this year. not as a respected later, but as a pro, in his own performance. we don't need that. we need the real success. we need real piece related skills, speech receive, sustain, deplores. compare that with a day earlier when the us vice president j. d. then spoke in the same room, just the smattering for like class and audience done for his attack on european democracy. i'm told by an informed ukrainian source, but it was vance. a speech that prompted zalinski to change his tone to the us administration. now believes his best approach is trying to unite european nations behind to we will say there's

a risk that zalinski is tough comments. the continued late to news conference will antagonize trump pollings for them and as a told me in the circumstances, plain speaking is justified. i think with the new administration, there is a premium on frankness and times a very hard you create and use facing is essential choices. a so presidency landscape tells it like it is. and i hope it gets hurt. here in munich. the very real differences between the us and europe in plans for peace and ukraine being further exposed. james base. ouch is era munich? king. okay, let's get more now. what's happening on the ground in ukraine shells transfers, isn't you creating a capital k of so i chose a present. so let's keep making it very clear on his countries position when it comes to negotiations. the

thoughts, right. i think it's fair to say that ukraine and ukraine's leadership is, is waking up to a very much a new reality and a reality that is incredibly complicated as well. so let's keep making statements of the backend of the munich conference security conference saying that no decisions about ukraine should be made without ukraine and no decisions about your should be made without your that on the back cover an announcement by the us invoice. you great, and keith catalog saying that your opinions would be involved in consultation and was going forward on id please pam, but would not have a presence at any kind of. i didn't go, she 18 table catalogue, saying that this was a, as a result of him. describing previous attempts at these agreements referring to the mixed agreements of 2014 and 15 as being as being too complicated because as involving too many players, of course it was problems and jeremy that took the lead in those failed initiatives

. also, his unexcused commenting on the fact that, you know, that seems to be a very concert you push and the potential for withdrawal, all american funding and american support for nature and ukraine in this crisis. zalinski calling for the information of what you described as an army of you or your opinion on me involving up to 1500000 soldiers including you. great is that we said that the fact that by these to happen what we want you to happen, if indeed you crate up completely excluded the potential of the not being included in the night. so he said that he was still hopeful that eventually ukraine would get nato membership costs based on comas after devastating wakeful ukraine. when we've seen the vice president of the usa, of that nature, membership for you. great. and he's no longer reality

a return to the 2000 and. ready the folders. busy is no longer a reality interesting, we also zalinski commented on these trump late deal. busy which would give us access to potentially hundreds of millions of dollars of ukrainian minerals and, and railroads as well. this is a draw, do you understand is be presented to the ukrainians. citizens keeps saying that, that draw failed to noise, supply or do not imply sufficient security guarantees to ukraine, so that very much on hold as well. although we understand that negotiation fidelity not due on going just interesting that has been also coming from poland with respect to that by calling for the so called all of you of your budget landscape of the publish foreign minister. busy busy shapes that if you understand the unit, the cation of national armies across europe, that will not happen with respect to opponent. you said that it was probably strips

. you should that there be no totally strips in that ukraine ever and poll, palding's juicy was to nato to protect its own territory, all the c with the opponents eastern flag. but what did you crime? right, charles stratford time was a little violate. just ask some kids. thank you. in most go supports is of russian opposition. lead likes and have found the gather to have gathered round it to mock one year since his death. hundreds is met. first sent me by his grave with separately passengers in attendance. devonte dodge was serving a 19 year prison sentence. he was one of the most prominent critics of russian president vladimir putin. his tests foot hubris protest, as a 14 year old boy who is being killed in australian. what police are describing is a random stopping attack. well, one is lit candles on the streets of villa square. the tact took place, police for others was stabbed and injured. police arrested us to be a national,
