a new future scenario. rough soft that's national donald conference talking but huge challenges that lie ahead. lots, lots ways of showing it. last time, the dog coughed a power blackout interrupting mining operations in the world's biggest compet producer. and on piece of statements with your sports news send a bunch of coach chose a marino's, has been accused of racism. so it gives the leaders gala test drive, so they, in terms of those criminal proceedings, figured by comments was made off of a game on monday, the, and a welcome to the program. ukraine says that it's agreed on a minerals deal with the united states. but there's no confirmation yet from washington. president donald trump has been pushing pressure on you according to make a deal to repay the united states for it's more time aid. ukrainian president loads

of his landscape has rejected previous demands for billions of dollars in mineral as well, because it didn't come with any specific security guarantees. of course abundance of following all the license developments, both in ukraine and the us unofficial standing by for us in washington, dc for us last cost life to charles drafted is in the quite in capital key for us as we had that, not the 1st proposal that the us has put forward, charles ukraine rejected the previous ones. so what are we hearing about this version as well, so the voices, the reuters news agency at the moment is reporting that presence of the escape, the ukrainian lead to is due to travel to washington on friday to meet you don't, will trump off. and this is voices attributing these to 2 separate sol. she's

saying that an agreement has been reached with respect to this mental day. and of course, this may know do is being cap. she's being seen is essential to ukraine's hopes that it can win back favor with donald trump off to what you described in the intro as being effectively a war of words. we saw an initial rejection of a, of a draft proposal by zalinski of that initial deal. him saying that it lacked security guarantees and late to him saying that he wasn't prepared to sell the country out. but that was responded to by president trump in trump colon zelinski, a dictator implying that he had started the war with russia and everybody knew crane, everybody in europe knows that america is central potentially, to any kind of peace initiative that donald trump has in plan through his contacts

with the russian lead to vladimir putin. so this is huge, he's significant. it's a false moving story. certainly, according to reports, we're getting a little bit more detail. a report saying that this agreement would involve the establishment of a fund and that ukraine would have to contribute 50 percent to that from the proceeds from a few ship monetization of states owing to minerals facilities including oil and gas and associated logistics. and the fund would invest in proceeds, so the more in projects, so apologies in projects in ukraine as i say, as yet no response, solid response here from ukraine. but this is significant because it really has been central to this massive diplomatic spot. as trump, the president of the us with this very new vision on how to bring peace to this

region has dictated the way things otherwise. and so we wait for a response from ukraine, but yeah, a significant movement. if indeed these lines that we're getting through are true. okay, charles stratford, the for us in keys, let's bring it out. and especially he's in washington, dc allen, a full ukraine. the hope is that the still will pay the way for best relationship with the united states as well as the security commitment. what is in it full, the united states? well, there's a couple of things. first of all, donald trump has been very clear that he thinks the united states has been short changed the support for ukraine during the 3 year war. he claims that the us suspend somewhere in the region of $350000000000.00 at the government's board and $1.00 to $2.00 and unit says somewhere closer to a $180000000000.00. and some of that is in the form of loans that will be paid back

. but perhaps more importantly for donald trump, is that 5 percent of the world's rear asked minerals. so you're talking things like lithium and graphite are thought to be inside the ukraine. and if you could mind them unexplored them, you then take china out of the supply chain, not seen as very important by donald trump. what is interesting is that, well, everyone in ukraine seems to be saying that there is a deal. there is a deal. clearly details still have to be what type, and we'd be surprised if there was a deal. if donald trump wasn't pulling about it, that he'd manage to negotiate something special, something to the benefit of the american people. and so we would expect him to be seeing a lot more not the husband speculation to run the white house. and you know, i was there on monday, the blood of me was the landscape could be visiting sometime this week or early next week to sign the deal. the fact that the white house is not confirming yet i think, suggests that there's still a bit to go in the steel. i'm,

but we do know as it stands at the moment. your training is would be please, because it would in just a long term commitment from the us to you create insight in the various drafts that are going around. and then there are a few of them. one line keeps coming out, that the us government would provide long term financial commitment to develop a stable and economically prosperous ukraine. that is a long term commitment. what is missing is any security guntee, and that is something that the cleanings are very keen on, but it appears that both sides are perhaps moving closer, although the us are not healing. any finalize is ation of a deal at this point. okay, thank you for that. alan fish show that for us in washington dc. let's get mall on this with not to leave and he's the rights of the razor program at the quincy institute for responsible state croft. he joins us from washington, dc. thanks for your time. sir, so as we have that from out and we all still waiting for official couple

confirmation from the united states. but if this is indeed confirmed, this minerals deal is done, how significant would you say it is as well potentially, i mean, what it does is it commits the us to the reconstruction of ukraine, off the walls, but through investments and profits not simply through through aid and since frankly, the reason the way otherwise the, from the ministration is going to how to crate and off to the war, it's going to leave that to the or pins. this would be of great importance to ukraine in economy. not that said, uh, it looks very much as if the website needs, the trump administration, would expect that this fund would help early american investments and american ownership in ukraine. which will not please the or depends, especially if in fact your pin a then has to be used to be paid by ukrainians into this funds,

to then to benefit the americans. so it is that question and the it will increase american interest in ukraine off the will. it will not cause you a us security commitment from trump administration has made that absolutely clear. i bought it will make america more just interested in the face of ukraine box. um, as, as your previous speaker said, that the, the, the phrase is that these, um, these rare us all said to be in ukraine and also uh, said to be in the premium controlled areas of ukraine. because it's also told, clear, actually how many of these roads are actually that, you know, nobody has done a reliable survey, but also, um, how many of them are on the russian control? what happens to them? pollution has come up with a counter offer of doing a amenities dealing with us,

which of course, from his point of view would get to us money. and we get normalize ation of relations. but it would also imply it's a degree of recognition of restroom control as these areas of that would certainly not go down. well, can we all can any way thing for a lot more detail about what the terms of this deal will involve if it indeed is confirmed by the united states. but we do know that the agreement, if it's true as, as come off to this rule of woods, which is going on for some days now between the cranium presidents and trump. trump cooling a zalinski, an unpopular dictator who needed to cut a quick peace deal or lose his country. was the lensky of the, pushed into a corner. was he left or has he been left with no choice but to sign

a deal? i think to a degree that is true, i mean the obviously o d u training and government is desperate to maintain good relations with them. with trump. i mean, that said a, trump is an amazing tyrant to, from that point of view, he hoes the most vicious insults of people on you to be for. are they sometimes 100 insults of him? if you look at us domestic politics and then later on, think us on fine. the, there is a, a source of school playground aspect to this so, so what, what is at stake here for the united states, it appears from what we're hearing, but it has made some concessions. it's dropped demands to this $500000000000.00 and potential revenue from ukrainian resources. why would they do that? the money for trump is obsessed with money and profit. this allows him to say,

yes, we are reconstructing do crane. we are committed to you praying without actually spending a, a sense of us taxpayers, money owners, um, so from, from, you know, as we know, very transactional point of view. um this looks like a good fit. okay. many signs for your time annual analysis, and that's all leaving direct of the raise your program at the quincy institute for responsible. stay cool. thank you. the at least 6 children have died in garza because of a lack of protection from the cold weather. one of the victims was a new born girl named shaun who passed away inside, displaced families, tens and tens of thousands of palestinians across the street on living and worn out

tents among the rubble of that destroyed homes. mountains hurrying cries. this across enclave is being worse than by israel's continued blockade of 8 by understanding from our humanity and colleagues is that there's been a lot of challenges in getting tens and caravans and populations. and we continue to push some of going in. but we need, we need more is that the restriction from these are really all right, that's why i understanding correct honey, my married, visited one hospital to find out more about the impact is having on palestinians for these machines are peeping desperately to keep the new born baby, so lives in this hospital, this is the friends of the patient. medical society in the hearts of the gods is prevent for a lot of people and families. $130.00 is just another season, but in gaza it has become more of a distance. and for these and sense right now,

as for insurance and drugs, winter has become so blue the positive to day then babies are dying because of the severe cold with their families unable to keep them warm. medical officials in the ground reports rise in hypothermia cases and with families unable to keep them warm . the likelihood of these incense a new born, the loser of life are very, very high here at the hospital. the doctor is confirmed that many of these are new born leaves arrives to the hospital here. they arrive with no particular diseases. they were simply new of one and their family had no way to keep them warm. lots of little weeks, we received the mining units in our hospital and they come with a case which caused caused injury or hypothermia. 3 babies that survived and treated successfully and discharged home, asked and one baby in order to utilize the you increase because, you know, the condition of course of this condition is because of the cold weather and lake of save ship those league of central heat think and lake of electricity in does it

start with chatter and press structure has reliable of electricity. these machines are keeping in the background risk of shutting down at any moment, leaving many of the newborn babies without proper heat and without being warm enough to survive the difficult conditions. honey makes more just data from god, the cities, palestine as well as continuing to expand that's offensive across the occupied westbank. the palestinian ministry of foreign affairs says that the ministry raids are a continuation of as well as genocide displacement and onyx station joint forces have stormed and open fi in the city of novelists killing at least one person. i will say fontaine, gas and targets at medical crews, as well as ministry res. across the territory and recent months have forced tens of thousands of palestinians to flee

as also sales has been taking focused on the janine refugee camp and the northwest tanks. i've been deployed and ordered to remain all those is also demolishing lodge areas off the camp that and now virtually empty as big as my one of the show around is there a senior political analyst who joins us now live from the lot more one children in gauze that wouldn't be freezing to death. if israel was an blocking shelter from entering the strip, it's a clear violation as an edge of the times of the ceasefire. i do a yes of course and it's intentional and it's declared and it is obvious and it has all objectives which is not getting into page 2. and it's deliberate. make me short the people of gaza choosing the show, then pay the price for. this whole thing has been one long strategy by the

parts of the israeli government to strip palestinians of all the rights of all their livelihood. clearly killed in the after getting tens of thousands of them now . they're basically torturing them. it is the same human policy, the genocide, the policy that's we've witnessed the past 15 months is continuing. there's absolutely no surprise whatsoever in israel's behavior. it has always been illegal . the past 15 months it continues to be illegal and legitimate and quite criminal. more on the 6 week truce, which have given palestinians at least some respite from the fighting is due to expire this saturday. and there's no indication that we're about to move into phase 2. so what's next? what's next? it seems, judging from the news the past. uh,

4872 hours is the west bank. that's what's next. it's uh try to recreate guys in the west bank. uh, starting with a sort of mini genocides and the in the west time refuge jacobs is right. and wants to get rid of the palestinians as many as possible starting with the caps. so now it has made its policy or the camps quite deliberate and public. it says it doesn't want that a sitting has to go back to the caps. imagine, i mean, not only made displaced once twice, now, 3 times. so i think we've got to see copying guy, guys, and that was. a why guys are continues to endure this a 100 and uh that is uh, inflicted on it by his right and a half just hard just now from, from damascus. uh, from dallas. uh, i'll go to the masters. oh is right. i was just launched one of the widest attacks on syria since it's attacked all the military installations within the country. so

it's been attacking also. busy various locations who suffer south of damascus. so insured is acting with the community and gaza in the west bank and love it on and in syria. token is supported by the united states and quite united and it's cabinet and it's uh, and it's precious phonetic governance in expanding of award. whether it's garza again occupied, westbank again, occupied southern city a now more more occupied that it remains in leather. not ok. many thanks for that model, i'm sure i'll just share a senior political analyst speaking to a staff from dell or the

well more one mentioned what is going on in syria? well, the conference on serious political future has just wrapped up in damascus, where the countries present enough, but also rob promise. democratic reforms off the years of civil war. delegates approve the formation of several committees that will work over the next 3 years and constitutional reforms, transitional justice, and economic recovery. the aim is to establish a new legal framework address, move crimes on help rebuild serious economy with emphasis on lifting international sanctions. participants also condemned israel's incursion into its territories demanded. we store and the means, eddie, this is a period of rebuilding our country of 2 decades of destruction of devastation.

syria is indivisible, and that one might slice in our unity. serious economy has been reeling on the systematic vandalism. yep. the nucleus of development lives within. we require a plan for resuscitation, and we must 10 series opportunities into practical investment johnson. we must stand firmly, harshly against those who may seek to undermine our unit of the coffee l home. there is an active as based in syria. he says, the interim government is trying to convince the international community that syria is making progress by including all voices and opinions. this is the is very important and it's one of many steps are looked for by syrians who are looking for peace. what are looking for just just those people who are looking for looking for a lot of things from the new government. and in fact, a whole thing. the said, a cold friends as for him in this time grew the real intention of the new

government of the big steps afford it covered at the time the country afford service is not easy for, i mean having a big country in a very good situation was not as easy as the many sit in work because the, this, the government's face a lot of intelligence that's might hinder or slow down the progress of the kids. that the new governments are taking a to the, to make the situation better. so it is not literally united impact is the student to book support, but he's refusing to join the then you'll government thing for you to have. they are attending the entity and the moving at which is gonna be as a dixon by august cvn from different parties. oh, so today we have another problem, for example,

from the external statements that are coming from the south from is running about a, you know, to wait on some as south residences. in fact, unfortunately, the new government is facing some problems from sprint marks. internal ones like that, it's do you. yeah. and even some external add a statement that's all the reasoning, the definition of having distortion piece in the country a let's go live to washington dc and speak to could tell you. but it d v as a resident senior fellow officer at the atlanta council, many songs for joining the program, i want to start by getting you to respond or react to some breaking news a way of getting in the last few minutes we're hearing that is rarely will planes have carried out quite a significant attack? we here on the south of damascus. this is according to the syrian state television is randy. will paint plains have have carried out

a strike on the south of damascus. the still a more information that needs to come out, but we, we believe a series of loss and the sound of airplanes flying lower what had over the syrian capital, damascus. this is a, according to the latest news. why is any reaction at this point and what the implications of this attack by a israel on damascus would be? i mean, i think the main implication here is really the bein espanol government trying to is to you and your and your concepts. and the reason i turned the from singles in loveland is really calm down. i think realistically, are you arguing that the leaving isn't? yeah, hold on right now has become the main source of instability in the region with the long auto. celia is a quiet argument actually to present, especially as

a prime minister in this and you hope pays a potential a lot of long term or political term want of until a beef. now that the war and gaza and then let the known as old myself or i think that definitely inside syria is an increased instability of the latest um is really communication specially with some communities or leaders in southern syria and in western syria is only delaying the potential peaceful resolution of bringing the country back together with the new leadership in damascus with the current outreach and, and this sort of force that his role is showing in damascus. there was a clear message to those who are not so happy with different outcomes in damascus. but they can potentially depend on israel of this form that easy, they can potentially delay their acceptance of any deal that is coming from

damascus to unify the country after a bloody 14 years of war that syria has been. so, i mean, the reason we're talking today is because we are meant to be discussing the national dialogue process that syria has just on the gone uh, in that process. and itself is to come up with a new constitution for syria elections for syria. how difficult do a, a strikes like this by the, is really on the hoss of the capital of syria a make the whole challenge for the new leadership to come up with a new constitution? absolutely, i mean the national dialogue conference has already been facing. it's on challenges in terms of coming together before a d o has been reached and especially with the draws little religious community in

the south and with the leadership, all the courtesy of and then a product forces. in ne, syria, you know, the, the new leadership in damascus want to bring this conference together as a show of unity over the country. despite again, the lack of agreement with those 2 communities in powers in southern syria and the northeast syria. as i mentioned, anything this strikes on damascus right now are only gonna serve to delay such agreement as powers in northeast syria and new south syria. they will see the more empowered to try to find a deal and perhaps some military support from actors outside syria that would perhaps increase their loved rage and power on the go fusions table of devices. so there is no doubt that the task again of finding an agreement among the syrians is only going to become harder. and you know, not only for the authorities in damascus,

but i think also more importantly for the communities inside syria of the different religious and ethnic communities that have found themselves, especially in the last 14 years at some point. so it's conflict lines. and that the potential now for peace among them would only be pleased with such acts from israel at this point and more closely despite the regime change, syria continues to face these substantial economic and political restrictions without any limited adjustments so far from western powers. what's holding the west back from lifting sanctions on the syria and what is it going to take for that to change? i think there is a realistic although non essay cult position, i'm from washington from capitals across here that is totally holding the sanction region. use that were imposed on the soccer team and on syria because of the actions on this 100 team. those are continues to be held by washington and other

capitals up prusio as leverage or as specs for points on the new government in damascus to fulfill or on so forth. national security interests for the united states and for countries across europe in syria. i think while this is again, a realistic position for washington specifically to take, i don't think it's really i think so and 0 and does really help to build better relations with this young people over the next few decades and to hold the same sanction programs that were designed to pressure the sub routine to boost his loved ridge on the new theater in government. what would it would probably take for washington to move forward on permanently removing such sanction programs? is really a lot of war, specifically on security related to the continuation of permission to the people. i says, related to ensuring that syria is not

a platform to support quote unquote terrorism onto the region or to start the stabilisation to the vision. and more importantly, of course, i think there is an argument rent for i'm washington and you're working capital is to hold onto the sanctions until there is a political transition. i'm actually physically transition in damascus. that's really outlines a process where all syrians are part of this process and we're all syrians are represented equally on the table. i think the national dialogue conference was a step in the right direction. but it's, i think it's arguably it has arguably fail char from it's really, it's cheating on the outcome needed in terms of showing that there is real participation from all communities in see area under process. okay, catawba, it leave a really good to get your perspective resident senior fellow force area at.
