a decade of attacks by i'm close, but somebody you ivory coast ask in french forces to leave could be strategic with elections do in october and then to french sentiments on the rise. yeah. their presence on i board as well. may lead to disruptions or even chaos. the homeless hands over the remains of shooting above us. ours officer names the success rate of captives to be released on saturday in exchange for palestinian prisoners. the hello i'm about to send. this is august. you have a life from to have also coming up. a striking reversal us president. donald trump says controversial proposal to take over the cost is only a recommendation after out of leaders meet and re add to come to his plan. the when

the security council calls on the one that to withdraw its troops from the democratic republic of congo and directly condemns it for back a. m 23 rebels and russian attacks take across the ukraine as keith is being pushed to sign, a bare minerals deals with the us. the hollow sizes handed the remains of his very captive. should he be best to the red cross off to israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu accused the group of violating the cx 5 deal by returning the wrong body on thursday. israel's, as if what isaac team has been sent to confirm the identity of the body on us as long as an investigation into the ada. as it comes out to how much of a of the names of 6 living is really captives to be released from gaza on saturday

. that old man. and at least 2 have been held in this trip for nearly a decade and all be handed over to the red cross before being taken back to israel for medical checks on finally to be united with their families. an exchange, israel is expected to release 600 into palestinian prisoners and detainees since the cx 5 deal came into place. more than a 1000 palestinians have been freed into garza and the occupied westbank. some have been deported is going to bring in a new world in new jersey or capital on mom and she's there because these really governments and the power steering in the follow to find out just either from reporting from inside israel and they occupied westbank. so new or just focus through the process is, is going on at the moment to try to identify the body that we believe may be should be this, this overall, what will happen is once the forensic team is handed the coffin in which those

remains are kept there will be a series of tests conducted to match the dna of those remains with information that the teams have been in the ministry of health has, as well as these really are me to confirm the identity that this is in fact, these remains belong to. she the boss, of course, this will take a few hours. we have not heard official confirmation from these really are me yet. that the hand over has, in fact happened from the red cross to the is really our mean we have to remind our years this is a complex situation on the ground. the fact that this is not fall it's, it's a past midnight at the moment in palestine. and so moving at the red cross to the area where the is really military is still present in garza and then outside of the parameters or the borders of garza would take

a lot of coordination. but certainly this process will be closely watched and anticipated, especially by the, the bus family. yeah. and the confusion that happened over they oversee the previous was body, obviously created a tremendous amount of time tension. i had of state prisoner and kept to swap that we're going to see on site to just remind us what that process is going to involve on saturday. this will, saturday, we'll see the largest exchange of is really captives and palestinian prisoners and detainees. this is the last group of living is really captive in this that fall under the category of phase one of the ceasefire agreements. so those 6 living is really captives will be released in exchange at least $444.00 palestinians taken from gaza forcibly disappeared. will be released in addition to

a half of the women and children disappeared from gaza. that is, of course, if the identity of chevy be busses also confirmed, there will be a several people who are serving life sentences and long sentences also released israel has not released a full list of the palestinian prisoners. but we do know that the palestinians were initially released and in, in the exchange deemed for get obsolete. that his ready soldier who was taken by armed groups a it and then released in 2011 will also be released and ex of outside the occupied territories. no, thank you very much. indeed. that's no, they bring us up to date there from i'm on. while you as president donald trump says, is controversial blind to take over. guys is only a recommendation and then he will not impose it. but previously suggested the entire palestinian population of the strip should be forcibly removed and re

settled elsewhere. it is a pot of traversal comes off to a meeting of autumn leaders inside there may be in which the future of gauze it was discussed later. some egypt caught jordan and i to that amount of time to wait a bit of time during the informal meeting for according to the sorry, state use agency, the discussed efforts to support the published any calls from really out is how summer how about it. i didnt borton's gatherings that took place here to the sounds of capital the we are well decency leaders listen to the plan that was presented by the jewish and presidents. i've been such a high c c age. it has its own proposal for rebuilding. garza is going to be based on phases last thoughts with cleaning the degrees all the way to was final reconstruction with the entire area that was destroyed during more than a year and a half of which then plus is riley bombardments. but to be able to move forward, you need to have quite none. so contribution from wells, the gc countries,

there is an international estimate of about 50 with $1000000000.00 to be able to rebuild, does the amount of stuff which is going to take up to 10 years. but there's absolutely no doubt that those, this is a country is going to do themselves to rebuilding guys a will have conditions attached to the commitment is the going to me, particularly the, the terms of the reconstruction. but most importantly, the issue of who is going to take over gaza. there is a growing consensus now that it's about time to consider a 100 over control of the area to the policy and authority. now when it comes to that particular issue, they're going to go to the different capital cairo on the 4th of march for a pool. the consensus, the going to invite out of lead us to come up with a unified spence 1st of all,

an alternative to the sum proposal number to tackling the delicate issue of who takes over gaza. but this is undoubtedly an extremely important moment for the region of this explains why many people have been saying that the meetings that took place here really i could have huge ramifications on the entire region for many years to come to mind. but i just the re, re a particle haynes in washington d. c. far as i was just one of several long statements that the trump had be making . what else is it insane? well here you pretty much laid out what his original plan was, that the us would take the gaza strip, redevelop it, get rid of her moss and keep it. those are things that as aids to try to say no, he didn't really mean to say that. but now he's saying that this is just a recommendation that he's not going to demand. if he implemented, he said he was surprised the egypt and jordan didn't want to taking the millions of

palestinians. and he said that it's such a horrible can horrible conditions that given the chance to leave, he believes all the palestinians would in fact want to leave. and it just to give you a sense of really indicating who maybe doesn't understand the history of very complicated history. in this region, he talked about the fact that he's surprised israel ever left, that it was a horrible deal. but he then he said, maybe the israelites are looking at us and said, why did you ever leave the panama canal? so very much trying to describe this as a real estate transaction. but i think the important part here is after the pushback we seen from not just the region but the entire world. the president is starting to signal that he realizes that he does not have the ability to impose a basically getting rid of all of the palestinians. so he seems to be withdrawn either goes okay, well that's fine. i didn't really want it or he says doubles down and says for example, egypt and jordan, if you want this billions of age a,

then you're gonna have to do this. so he's definitely giving the indication that it's the latter that he's going to just sort of let this one go, at least for now. parties thanks a lot. that's part of go ahead and talk to us in washington dc there of the, the insecurity kansas condemned one does backing of m $23.00 fighters in democratic republic of congo for the 1st time is called them cause ali to immediately withdrawal troops and support for am 23, you are an export, say 4001 done. soldiers are supporting the group, which i see swats of territory in eastern d. i see any recent leaks christmas to them. is that the united nations in new york? first i just focus to 1st of all, what's been happening for the last few hours or so? a yes, well the security council had a meeting and it took them 2 weeks to get there, but they unanimously passed

a resolution on the situation there. and the fact that it was unanimous, all 15 counsel member supported, it shows growing international concern about the situation in the democratic republic of congo. the resolution calls for an immediate cease fire and withdrawal of forces there, including the m $23.00. and it calls on rwanda to stop its support for the m $23.00. something that they've denied doing rolanda is denied supporting the m $23.00 and deflected on that in the security council. the resolution also condemned the systematic and elicit exploitation of mining in the region, something that's added to the tensions and the interest in this area so much. so we've had some very strong words coming from the security council. it did take them 2 weeks to negotiate bad in the fall of major cities like goma and book view in the process. but in the end, they came out with this unanimous resolution binding under international law. at

the same time, we're seeing a countries unilaterally attempt to put pressure on lawanda. and the m 23, the united states just issued sanctions on a government official and rolanda the u, calling rwandan officials to the capital for talks and discussions. so clearly there is growing concern on the part of the international community, and this is the results with regard to the to both rolanda and d. i. c, a we had any sort of reactions who was being said or yeah, they both spoken to cancel the rwandan and bassett, or deflected the accusations about their backing of the m $23.00. they said that this resolution failed to address the root causes of the conflict and withdrawn may of 23 on its own. wouldn't be enough to, to calm things down there and said that the council had stayed silent

on other atrocities committed in the region by other parties. and so you saw this is unfair d r c for it's part of welcome to the agreement, but said it took too long to get there. the foreign minister of d r c had been to the counsel 3 times in the last 3 weeks, basically, begging for help from the international community. this as civilians have been fleeing the country, the un now says that more than more than 40000 refugees have crossed into bronte. talking to some of you guys have issues in new york. that's kristen. so let me christy, thank you. leaving. you've got an opposition for your case investigate it has been charged with treason is accused of bulk is tracing applause to over. so the government guy could face the death penalty if he's found guilty, the city is a long time critic of presidents. you waiting most of any of the 68 year old is gone and hunger strikes to protest at his detention. this is still a hand and i'll just see if there's 160 percent on

a powerhouse of your upside as january 1st, because the polls will look at how it's aging infrastructure has become a 600000000000 dollar problem. the phone, counting the cost, as donald trump's term, his policies begin to take shape. we take a look at the potential impact on american industry. consumers of the economy. really increase inflation, level of playing field portions of the rules of the global trading system. counting the cost on that, which is 0. nature 9 made catastrophes. any rate was quite severe weather events or resulting in other words, think devastation. the variety of human factors means their intensity and impact is a purely natural and the politics behind normalizing climate change as was to fact, if i was supposed to be seen as normal,

but you said something that should have to happen to any one. is it really a natural disaster? oh, hell. the permits on al jazeera shakera model war for translation and international understanding is inviting nominations for its 11th edition, starting january the 1st and ending march the 31st 2025. for more information. please visit the awards official website at w w, w dot h t a dot q a the the, i'm about to send you one thing. i'll just need a reminder of

a top story. is this uh, how much sizes handled the remains of israeli captive should be the bus to the red cross. israel says a forensic teams being sent to confirm the identity of the above. you as president donald trump says who's controversial planned takeover. gaza is only a recommendation. he won't, imposes some of the previous suggested suggest to be entire policy. me and population district should be forcibly removed and we settled elsewhere as a product professional. comes off to a meeting about of leaders and saudi arabia in which the future guys have as discuss your own security councils called on one dr. immediately with jar troops or d r. c. for the 1st time, it's a victory condemned to jolly of backing the m. 23 rebels, an eastern democratic republic of congo. the ukraine and america's deteriorating relationship has been dealt another blow. us

president donald trump has doubled down an anti ukraine rhetoric saying the country needs to come to the negotiating table despite body ukraine's leadership from any adults with russia. i've had very good talks with put and i've had not such good talks with ukraine. they don't have any cards, but they play a tough but we're not. we're not gonna let this continue. this is worse to have. it would have never happened if i were president. but it did happen so i got stuck with it and the whole world is stuck with it. and right now you have a country that has its cities, they look like demolition sites. those beautiful towers, those 1000 year old golden domes, that was so beautiful the most beautiful in the world. they say they're all in smithereens. millions of people are killed. i think far more people than anyone understands mand. so we have people that better get to the table,

get it ended tom's comments, comments. i've ministration pushes key to sign a controversial where of minerals agreement, discussions that are ongoing them you finding capital between the us and boy to the ukraine. keith kellogg. i'm president, florida me is it landscape. the deal would give the us revenue from some of ukraine's key mining industries and resorts is to make up for aid, provided over the course of nearly 3 years. president zillow is called the latest round of talks and keeps extensive and positive. no shame as normal today. we also had a lot of international activities with general kellogg, a meeting that restores who we need strong agreements in the united states agreements that worked for the work. i gave instructions to which swift fleet and very sensibly economy and security must always go hand in hand and the details of the agreements matter, the bits that they are structured the bit to the results of. meanwhile, rush and forces of launch renewed attacks and northeastern ukraine. at least 8

people have been injured in the russian artillery strike on the city of subjects. the attack is the latest and as soon as it strikes and civilian infrastructure in the done, yet screeching emergency responders arrived the same or contrasting comments between us officials and president trump. i've cast a cloud of uncertainty over washington's i control stands on ukraine's future. after his meeting on the special ed board for ukraine keys, kellogg praise, do ukrainian prizes loved to move to landscape on x saying along i think 10, stay with the senior leadership of ukraine, extensive and positive discussions with the landscape. the bottles and courageous leader of a nation of war and whose talents of national security team the comments of install contracts to those made by president trump, who earlier this week, accuser landscape of being a dictator and of prolonging the war to keep money coming in to ukraine, a, a dictator without elections. so lensky, better move fast,

or he's not going to have a country left. gotta move, gotta move fast, cuz that was going in the wrong direction. in the meantime, were successfully negotiating and into the war with russia. something all admit that only trump is going to be able to do on the trump administration. we're going to be able to do. i think boston even admitted that by never tried. europe is failed to bring peace angel landscape probably wants to. it may be wants to keep the gravy train going. i don't know what's the problem, but he hasn't been able. he's very upset. so because he is an associate professor of political science have baylor university, he's joining us from dallas and texas. so thank you very much indeed for being with us on all just needed to talk to us about this. so we've had the comments from donald trump. we subsequently get the comments the keys kellogg. the invoice of us to invite to ukraine has been making i'm, i want to talk to you about the, the, the visit from keith kellog. did you cleaned actually gain anything as of that to

relatives, at least it was a possibility to communicate its concerns about the negotiations direct negotiations between russia and the united states. is concerned that the deal between these 2 countries can be signed without ukraine's participation. and i think demonstrated the of very severe consequences of the russian attacks continued russian text on ukraine and the importance of continuous military support from the united states to ukraine. at the same time, i'm just seeing a line here that's saying that the us is proposing that ukraine text for the un i'm making mention of occupied territory. and i was just quoting diplomats there, and i don't have another source for that, but that's just a line that's coming at one of the agencies. and we've heard the statement, of course, from donald trump. but at the same time, he's urging that the president is zalinski and president present work together. is it a sense that you could or does a crate? and actually do you think have a sense of where it stands and all of this?

because there seems to be an effort to constantly wrong fruit ukraine in whatever negotiations may be going on. there is a clear change in the rhetoric coming from the united states and there is a clear change in the attitude towards ukraine, a rush of problem, uh, the trumpet administration. and it is very visible. the trumpet administration believes that the easiest way in which they can end the war is by putting a lot of pressure on ukraine at no pressure on russia. they understand that they have a lot of leverage over ukraine, because ukraine depends on the united states for continued resistance or to the russian regression. and so they are in this way uh, persuading, trying to compel your printer citizens negotiation table and size a deal that may not be that for you terrible to you credit. and i think it's difficult for many ukrainians now to accept this reality. there is

a lot of anger within the society or the new policy of the trumpet administration. mm hm. in the event that some sort of agreement is reached under whatever circumstances in practical terms, is it possible for a cease fire to actually be put in place if you cream isn't involved? and indeed, of course, the you as well because the us a side note that as far as they're concerned, european governments, i'm not going to have a role in this side. or is it actually possible to make a ceasefire happen in practical sense is so the sci fi itself has to be agreed between the 2 random parties between russia and ukraine. and i don't think it's possible to imagine the ceasefire agreement without a cheap res participation. but the conditions on which russia will agree to cease fire before the size of, with ukraine, can be negotiated directly between the united states and russia. and his absence ukraine will not or you are not the parts to the is direct agreements. now if you

you credit and accept these terms and will be willing to sign the ceasefire agreement, it will only happen that the case will receive security guarantee is that has been a clear demand coming from polanski. the has to be a clear deterrence. otherwise, we should be just expecting to russia to recoup its forces and then start regression again. so in this sense, there is a clear expectation that maybe your intro tool, some, some of their forces to the, to the cease fire line. or that will be a different type of international dis, keeping condition that will ensure that the new war will not start all over again. is really answer them for us and to get your thoughts. and this is so sorry to ensure that associate professor political science at baylor university, we appreciate it. thank you very much indeed. thank you. you have a nice political parties are holding their final campaign bodies ahead of sundays, generally election. the conservative cd, you see a huge loss is leading opinion, always was around 30 percent of the vote,

but all parties have refused to work with the far right eye if day, which is recently serves in popular honestly, germany is likely to face weeks of legal. she, asians, before the bosses can fall in with coalition government. but one of the most urgent tasks for the next government is to fix germany's aly infrastructure. europe's economic part has once an example of efficiency and punctuality, is that data set? vices reports from dr. sta, in a few minutes after the last drum passed, one night in september, the 55 year old code, a bridge collapse into the river. alba, nobody was injured, but the broken bridge has become a symbol for the diet state of jim niece infrastructure. he's been 1st off the fuel . i am almost 80 years old and i have never experienced that a bridge collapse is not even during socialism. it's unbelievable. it's openly collected $5000.00 highway bridge, as i said to be in critical states. 7000 kilometers have multiple ways and 4000

kilometers of train tracks are in need of repair. traffic in germany has become a challenge with long traffic jams and trains often canceled this in the country famous for its guides punctuality when we talk in school. but the german characteristics, punctuality is still one of them. but i think this is wrong. nobody seems to care anymore to him and he was once seen as an economic miracle, quickly recovering and booming after world war 2. it's industrialization and design became an example to out us. but the infrastructure has age and maintaining it has not been a priority. yeah, it impacts the economy and the whole society, one of the biggest barriers in germany is, let's say trustable infrastructure. and if you, if you lose this, we lose everything. it's the basis of all society. not only to him, these physical infrastructure is broken or put as they say here, the transition to

a digital economy has been slow as well with internet connections often for and many businesses, only accepting cash money, say germany is seriously exec, in behind. somebody say you controversial deb break needs to be lifted for the country to move forward. but the christian democrats who are leading the poles don't degree. they say coughing, red tape is the answer. all this was fine during a peace time. so during times of the economic growth or but no, we have to definitely address the reforms. so normal business as usual, if the country wants to get back on track and compete globally by reviving its famous model of complete kite stuck fast and l just sierra dress than the sizes of people are violated across the viking to call for 5 minutes of a sequel to resign. demonstrations of the staging regular protests against the full time leaders pro most of the policies fighters riley is also not 7 years since the

murder of investigative journalist john quits. yet he's getting sparked mass protests, which led to speak to his resignation as prime minister at the guide of the cost is next. i'm robots as and stay with us on the the had a lot of that will stop down on the where a circulation is for me in the car. we'll see. it's set to become a storm system as we go into the new week. before it does, we're still going to see that wet and windy weather, affecting northern parts of queens and trailing down the east coast of australia remains very wet across the top and much dryer for central and southern areas. now us of hot air and gusty winds hasn't helped the extreme fi

a danger risk remaining in south australia and victoria, but things all set to change as we go into some that you can see the cold front sweeping and dropping temperatures in places like melvin and adelaide will be going from $38.00 down by 10 degrees to $28.00 on monday and much pleasant. feel to stop the week. things are looking pretty pleasant across new zealand. yes, a few showers here and there. you'll get a little bit cooler in christ church, but 19 degrees celsius with more in the way of sunshine of the we tend, now for east asia, it's set to get very cold across the north, particularly for the korean peninsula. and japan is more wintery weather to come here with the weather for southern parts of china, but it remain settled and sunny in facing the sun goes down. russia is a fairly challenging place to work from as a journalist,

even though the say you can't do it, it's not allowed to be a feel for sitting there, always pushing on boundaries for faithfully marston's. here we are the ones traveling the extra mile where all the media don't go. we go there and we give them a chance to tell their story. the hello, i'm adrian said again, this is counting the cost on al jazeera. you'll we can look at the world of business and the comics this.
