1:04 pm
before. and the 2nd thing is that things are moving quickly, so we must be sure and clear of all at once we are going to do. and what we need to do is to assure that ukraine has an opportunity to accept or look next up. anything about ukraine. so what you can do, we can deliver that many to support constantly. what we have done and problem is we can deliver the funds. what we have promised already, and also we can see there are some frozen assets more than 300000000000 embassy as well. the more political we have to do that. so we have many things in our hands. what we can do that the better cannot be anything we've all to print or also anything without your your you say that, and you say things are moving quickly. they all the tools coming up in saudi arabia and they are tools with the us and russia. know ukraine, the know europe, the so things are moving quickly and they are moving without europe. and without you cry. let's see what is going to happen. but it's sure that we thought to ukraine, that cannot be any kind of lost in peace. and this is what,
1:05 pm
what is your pin uh, position is we, we need to be sure, and we need to assure so that your brain has this opportunity to make their own decisions. so we need to constantly support right now ukraine. it's not only about different and it's about europe as well. your family security architecture for the future. now, i have the meeting this morning. it was called by the hi representative kind of call us at the end of it. she said that you are working on new initiatives that would come soon. can you give us idea of what those new initiatives are going to be at? we adjust that as a new new idea of what we can do and we can do it without consensus. meet at up in details, we're going to explain a bit later. we're looking into that. so, but it's a, it's a pretty huge portion of funds we can actually deliver to your credit. so what i wanted to say is that your up is trauma x. we have a money, we have resources. what we need to do is to understand that no one else is coming anymore to solve all the problems here. our relations with us,
1:06 pm
they will be very strong, but they will be different. so we need to stand up as well, and this is something that trump, as well as accepting. so let's act you say europe needs to be stronger with regard to defense. if, if we have a situation where we can get to a peace deal, the us is no longer backing. you trade? come euro pick up the slack. do you have the results is to run this on your own without the us there for that that we have money and also we have a rice unfrozen assets, move them for you on the billions in europe we can use so about funds, it's a lot. so we can, we can deliver lots of funds to ukraine with a mandatory support. of course, it will be complicated without ukraine, without uh us, but uh, it's up to ukraine. you know, we need to understand that only you can. and together with ukraine, there can be a piece, and it's not only about ukraine, as i said before as well,
1:07 pm
because putting as much change the goals were just talking about the root causes. and then this is what about some territories and ukraine. it's about europe as well, it's about tomato, it's about voltage states full and seen on sweden. so this is, you know, interest, just a 40 grain. and on top of that, the conditions of that to have a piece. what kind of a to do you have of the us is planned for ukraine because you had different figures here in munich. yeah, we have these tools coming up in, in saudi arabia and general kettle keith kellog. he's supposed to be invoice for this isn't even going to saudi right. bit it, steve went call for the billing that friend of donald trump, who was doing the calls a deal seems to be up to running the talks with the russians on each of these things. that seem to be sending out different signals. do you have clarity on what the trump plan? so that is no clarity, i think. and the, and also i'd say it's not the ult this special invoice it's about. and they told me, trump, who's going to make decisions and everybody around him as well as said the same
1:08 pm
thing to us as well. so but, but we need to be what we need to be clear is that i, i'm a repeat that to say and this is up to just the thoughts without ukraine. they're kind of beat any kind of long lasting piece, even the ceasefire. it cannot happen without the grain. so we need to support your brain and to be very clear as well that you are piece of taking the big role there . and also this is a message to president trump, or that that you are piece able to act on president trump has already said. and perhaps he's giving up one of these cards already. but he's going to go to russia some too much. he might even go that on victory day in moscow and is, is this misconduct is you know, we have to deal with all problems we have to do. what can we do? we cannot to deal with freshmen charles because he's doing what he wants to do. but we need to understand that the we have the munich and we have in munich as well, the year 1938, and all the bad things follow that. we have steals the opportunities to not have
1:09 pm
everything, but it came late later in 1948. so i'm to talk with fortune even before as we have a sure of what we are going to do as an i lies. it's not that that strong position, but the we need to do what we can do in your minutes. the 2nd of all is toni and thank you very much for joining us here on out you 0 very, very fast moving to about basic developments. as we heard there was a european leaders meeting taking place in paris that's taking place on monday. the talks about being the americans of between uh with russia that's just taking place in saudi arabia. so lots to watch in the coming else. it sounds like it. okay, james. thank you. james bases are diplomatic editor, reporting for us to from munich. we will get now more on what's happening on the grounds in ukraine. charles stratford is joining us from, keeps a while that diplomacy takes place in munich at least right now. tell us about what's happening on the front lines. certainly no
1:10 pm
indication of any less thing in the, in the fighting on the front lines along that 1300 kilometers on the line in the east of ukraine. according to the ukrainian ministry. they releasing a statement saying this morning that over the last 24 hours or so they've seen it uptake in attacks by russian policies, a 2 and a half times greater than they had done in recent weeks. of course we've got no way all independently verifying that and it's interesting ukrainians are releasing statements like that at this time where there's so many complicated china issues going on with diplomatic fun, ukrainian ministry. those saying that the majority or a high percentage of this increase in the tax is happening around the town or across computer strategic importance that is being pulled over for 4 months. now, a strategic importance because blue cross is a huge transport hub. it has, has a railway and do once a long time have a very large population that are too sensitive across was the full,
1:11 pm
then the focus of attention, which by the russians would fall on the la other law, it's down to the area, another large sound, cold come stand significant there all the development scenarios around car keeps as well. um and the, the townhome co pence which is south of car keys. but in general, as i say, we see no really big gains made by russian forces for months now. but no indication that the fighting is, is going down is decreasing, and according to the ukrainians, the granite armies, they say that they're in date, seeing a huge increase in the, in the last 24 hours or so get those attacks. right. and here's the thing, ukraine's president has been speaking out and he's been making it very clear what his country's position is on these negotiations with russia and tell us what he's been. have what he's been saying. what? yeah. so i mean, the ukraine and lead reading leadership of waking out seemingly every day these
1:12 pm
days to a new, that very complicated reality. presidents zalinski saying on the backend of the munich security conference that that would be no decisions about your grade. that would be made without you grade. and a similar thing with respect to you or anything about your or if you said involved, you're being involved in those discussions, specifically with respect to his continued base. but you're going to one day become a member of night. so something that this become increasingly unrealistic, certainly in the last couple of days, some statements that have come for people, i pick pete, access the, the, the us defense secretary, who said that the next hug membership is increasingly unrealistic. the ukraine. he also said that the return to the 2014 voters was increasingly unrealistic. zalinski saying, well, if we don't get next to it membership, then we're going to need what he describes as an army of, of you. or if you are appearing on me,
1:13 pm
which could involve up to $1500000.00 person out including you grade in false is that is something that is being led in recent years. but there's obviously not come to fruition. there's already been pushed back on that by the polls. the publish 4 minutes to against that idea already. i just interest you to bring you up to date with respect to these trump relates deal with respect to ukraine's natural resources. ready mentor. ready this was a plan, a, a draw plan that apparently the ukrainians have now seen zalinski saying that he's on the happy with it because he does not offer and his words sufficient security guarantees by the americans the plan before the involves the ukrainians giving access to the us to these mineral resources, it's understood in exchange for potentially more us weaponry. and what trump describe just being compensation for the money that the us spent so far in the 3 years since this was started. okay, thank you. charles stratford reporting from keep the
1:14 pm
for one to back to m. 23 rebels are advancing rapidly in the eastern democratic republic of congo. veteran because that's the capital of south keybo province. just weeks after taking goma, the capital of neighboring north chief who calm has returned to the city. after initial panic and widespread looting, some residents cheered as the rebels arrived with thousands of soldiers and civilians have fled. the city is an important transit point for rare earth minerals . this is lieutenant for stuff to a hit by bullets inside the house in the room. we're taking the bodies to the mall . these were much straight bullets. a soldier did this out of his own welcome. i only have heard latasha joining us from this album by that is where african leaders are meeting right now for an annual summit. but 1st we bring in catherine story.
1:15 pm
joining us from nairobi, katherine year following the developments on the grounds in the eastern democratic republic of congo. tell us what you're hearing about the situation. and we'll cover right now, and who's in control is quite safe to say that m 23 and it's all lies are finally in control. it's all because we've seen the fi to marching through the city streets, including the independent square, which is very significant. they've been speaking to residents there and telling them to go back to that home a for now as it, as they tried to clear and secure the entire book of booth. and then they say that after that the residents can come out and continue doing their business. now we also know that to the soldiers, the government soldiers also withdrew way back. and because of that security
1:16 pm
vacuum that has been c looting and people's homes, uh, government offices uh, you know, n g o offices including the wsp. we have seen many people uh, walking away uh, making away with um, you know, food a sacks of food as well known friday that rebels uh to the airport, which is about uh, 30 kilometers away. again, very little resistance. uh by uh, government forces who was there as well as the wound in forces were helping the government. so right now we're just waiting for him to do so. we need issue a to be the way forward. okay, catherine. thank you so much for that. reporting from nairobi will bring in harriman's house. and now joining us from the african union summit to an audience
1:17 pm
of, of us. so tell us what's, what's being discussed there and what leaders are saying about the situation in the d. r. c well the diaz, the present is not at this time. and so in all of the people involved videos onto the table, what you're going to be achieved as applicant the to say some progress has been made the last 24 hours. the 2 piece processing, the narrow, the piece process, and then the one the piece process, the piece process. i've been trying to get the to the, the, the schedule wanted to meet face to face. that roby wanted to try and include all the players, including the rebels to come to the table, to toll and tighten as of the price. as we've been told these to, these causes emerged into one. there is now one center of the to say in the past. so my acid indeed is even some ripples has picked and chosen which these punches do participated. clearly that wasn't working. so the to say matching the 2 into one
1:18 pm
needs is some sign that progress is being made. ok. thank you so much. herman's house and thank you for that reporting from audi. saw by well, the potential follow because it was another blow to the d. r. c. governments all forward in the east. on january the 4th, the m 23 rebels to control the msc, a colton mining hub and north cable province. they also began marching toward south keybo, taking the port out of me no problem. and that cut off the army supplies from boats crossing like cheap bu. so with go my isolated the rebels swept into the city and announced its capture on january the 27th. and now with the possible capture of because of the group effectively controls the lake area bordering rolanda, will fix it livingstone, who's an independent journalist covering events within the new york city. he's a former west africa correspondent for if you joining us from can try so thanks for your time. what happens next after the fall of because of do you think
1:19 pm
that's everyone's guy? so that's the question. the everyone is asking themselves the cause and perhaps the even more significant in some way as a result of going out before they've gone. it was, was very symbolic. and it was a combination of the 2 years siege. but it's uh, kind of hulu, especially. they have pores next to because of concentration is a large bulk of the companies army. i'm is allies now with the flu have to move with the phone. and because of the question a close by everyone is, is one is less of the company's army. one thing that is potentially on the horizon is more cost is between the and $103.00 on bieber ones. and the task force runs in forces inside the side of the kingdom is not clear exactly where the origins of these are at the moment, but they are like 300 review time sizes. and because i mean 23 and in public statements. how sad to bring in forces in the problems are threats and if they
1:20 pm
don't leave, but they will have taxes about some pretty, pretty clear statement of in times how biggest threats are the rebels posing right now to the capital congest? do you think that they are, are heading there, and it is that the plan on the coordinating on got the, the, the, the figurehead of the $23.00 with the political arms again, 23 cents the task was on. but the question is whether or not it's trinity diploma and whether they have the capability of doing this. one thing to bear in mind that the court in on god will though he is the figurehead, is not calling the shots. rwanda is calling the shots. so whether he said something or not, it is a, it's an invitation and it's a 2, but it's, it's not a 100 clear message. doesn't open much about whether it be a $103.00 and even the audio that's with them. how contingent didn't seem to go to concise us. i just came by from gomez and gomez. there's there's,
1:21 pm
there's very few arms man on the streets and there's very few $123.00 visor is on the streets and also by the, there's a large amount of crime. and now they're controlling the 2 largest cities in eastern congo. um, and it's a question as to whether they will be able to continue administering territory and also continuing towards concise. so what do you think the original implications of all of this are that the fact that the, the, you know, the, the m 23 are making all these advances and sorry, because the internet connection. i'm not sure i heard the question. i'm not familiar with the regional implications of the crate originally. interesting 3 advancements. yeah, go ahead. and the reason is because i'm using streaming extremely combustible. um, almost anything could happen. you have a african armies assigned to each other on comedies, phone, direct. com things,
1:22 pm
for example, between the rewinds and army oliver ends, you know, i mean, is ask you through the, could obviously escalate in the west of scenarios into address war between rwanda and burundi and some scenarios on top of that, you have 4 african armies including the bridge in armies, protecting the city of gomez, the were effective need to see it says, so i'm allowed to use that offer kind of times them. yeah. so many of those terms are still in gomez, and this is still a live issue. has you got those troops out? you've done the is making noises up as pushing further into eastern congo, especially to town. i mean, yes. so you have a very, very, very many different answers. a lot of different moving parts and a lot of real managers active on call me for that. so anything can happen, the regime of the regional, the speaking of the regional actors, can you just elaborate on who is on the ground right now in the d. r c, in terms of the armies from,
1:23 pm
from the neighboring countries. i'm sure that to the, to the best of my knowledge that the veridian army is, is on the ground, especially inside the room in north teams with the rest of the sad tax force of the ministry. 4th floor by the development community doesn't suit as the country doesn't suit, is allow and traditional sometimes in the entrance you have a new structure. so the un peacekeeping forces can come from a range of different countries that they come from south africa and they come from a rock of india, pakistan. and then for the problems of a tree, you have the guns, an army which is officially deployed. as part of a joint operation with the comedies governments to go out to be highlighted on the product forces, which is as long as it stays are still yes. but the dungeon army is also um
1:24 pm
considered uh potential for us to move further into eastern home to invite for other reasons. um so that is my knowledge. it is the is the complete number of foreign forces on, on comedy for the moment. okay, great. thank you. so much, all right, shut down to remind them to kind of sort of course, thank you so much. i am at livingstone, you are an independent journalist covering events within the d. r c. you're speaking to us from control. so thank you. the ok, and it was really or striking southern gaza has killed at least 2 palestinian police officers and injured a 3rd. that's despite an ongoing cease fire that's meant to hold the attacks. the strike happens in the southern city. if enough, how much says the policeman were deployed to help secure the entry of a trucks is really army says it targeted quotes armed individuals moving towards it
1:25 pm
. soldiers, how much has repeatedly accused israel a violating the ceasefire deal with just 2 weeks until the end of the 1st phase of the ceasefire. several terms have yet to be implemented by israel. that includes the delivery of $60000.00 mobile homes for palestinians who have nowhere to live after 15 months, if is really bombardments, so far as really, authorities have not allowed any of them into gaza via that f as border crossing with egypt. honey, my whole joining us for a bit had one in the north of the guys us to our 1st. so let's start with this attack. and if i find the south, what more do we know how many? as well as reading another driver's side, saying god that these uh personnel on the ground, the individual that is targeted, they approach the military to approach the the crossing and that's why it fired at them. but for the past few days, and since the end 3 of the trucks is parted and was even more trucks have come in
1:26 pm
and, and there was one of the requirement is to safely secure the delivery of a 2 organizations are managing the distribution designated size. so these big uh, security guards, the law enforcement order from the area, they are well known in the area, they're there within the site. and the range of these really monetary. so for us, did you know what they were doing and they were targeted that the time to do where securing the delivery of the trucks, the crossing of the kind of asylum at point to the leading road in to rub my hand to the designated point. this is not the 1st time that we're seeing, this is violations of the times of the see is fire just yesterday drawn fire. the missile a bowl. those are that was trying to create a rubble of from the wave for people returning to their homes. and garza and the northern part of districts of the 3 core door. so and before that, many of the attacks happen,
1:27 pm
we can easily account up to close to $200.00 violation of the ceasefire agreement since it is started earlier. it last, last month on the 19th of january, many of these violations are threatening the sustainability of the c as fire 2 of the the security guards on the law enforcement were killed. the 3rd one is that a critical condition and just we receive the word that the 3rd person, he's in a live support. so he's between life and death at this moment then might not be able to make it till the end of the as his injuries were described, quite severe. he lived a lot before the work uh, taken to the hospital for treatments. so that's a kind of a violation, the kind of concerns the are rising right now, and it's threatening the sustainability of the ceasefire. how much and it's part is, should a statement accuse israel repeatedly of failing to meet the obligations of the
1:28 pm
ceasefire agreement? tiny, what's been the impact then of these shortfalls in aids coming into the gaza strip? as we've been reporting there are about 60000 mobile homes, meant to go into the strip that still have not been as well as of this bombing we, we don't see any of these much needed trucks coming in. we're talking about the machinery, the equipment and clinics of all those are the trucks, on the other side of the board or the are much needed now to remove bubbles of from the streets and roads. there is an immediate need to reopen many of the major roles across the gusts for not only in northern dogs or jobs is but across the gaza strip . wherever you look, wherever you turn your eyes, you see pile of rebels blocking major roads. so that's has also been of blocking the routes of the aid of trucks going into a designated location at a cost, the journey to take longer than it was expected to when the delay and,
1:29 pm
and delivering much needed. it can cause patients inside the hospital to get bunch of need of medic, medical supplies, or medication or other important stuff, including the fuel being delivered to the hospice. so mobile homes for vans and medical supplies are not coming in a but in an amount that is needed to respond to the greater demand mobile homes and curve as are not coming in at all. fuel is coming in at a very limited amount, only enough to keep hospitalized operations, but this still is the hospitals running around the clock without the, with the power plan. the story completed, there is much reliance on the fuel coming in to run the power generators. but we see people here, they're setting up dense and because they have been waiting for the tense to come in more proper one day to provide shelters, provide warrens then and, and the privacy for people. people are recycling materials that they have used in the past 15 months just to build a temporary shoulders or trying to find children inside buildings the already risk
1:30 pm
of collapsing. okay, thank you. honey. my who was reported from baton, went into north of the gaza strip. thank you so much. i it shares a closer look at the scale of the needs and gaza. israel should allow $60000.00 mobile homes and took hours before march the 1st. and as we mentioned, none have been sent until now. the delivery of $200000.00 tons is also stipulated in the deal. only 10 percent have arrived. un says more than 1800000 people in gaza or anita for emergency shelter and says there is no time to lose and delivering the age. because about 69 percent of all homes and buildings are destroyed in gaza, according to u. n. estimates, forcing palestinians to live in the rubble on 10000 bodies are thought to be buried under that rubble. israel is preventing the construction equipment needed to recover them. will not speak to sarah davis, who is the spokesperson for the international committee of the red cross joining us live from occupied east jerusalem. thanks for your time. so.
