in planning for guys as future, we need to ensure one guys that remains an integral part of a future policy in state to guys and the westbank, including israel's to them are unified politically, economically and the minnesota fleet. 3, there will be no long term idea of prisons in gaza, and israel's legitimate security. some concerns are addressed, but the pressing issue during the meeting was to cease fire. we urge old policies to sustain the sci fi to implement the agreement in full and support efforts to move to phase 2. despite being long over due us unceasing, persistent challenges. a sustain ceasefire is our best chance. it seemed. peace intermediaries, many words were spoken in the council about the necessity for the cease fire to stick. the big questions are,

who is listening and how to achieve it. gabriel is on the, i'll just need to do nighted nations in new york. at least 6 children have died in goal so because of a lack of protection from the cold weather. one of the victims was a new born named shaun. she died in her family's tension, hall newness and the self of the strip. tens of thousands of palestinians and living and make shift shelters among the rubble of the homes, which were destroyed by his riley from both ends. as well as refusing to allow mobile homes at $0.10 a garza one of the terms of the ceasefire agreements 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 30. that's why you're standing, correct? the

transitional justice, constitutional reforms, and you call to make recovery and then the, the, this is a period of rebuilding our country of to decades of destruction and devastation. syria is indivisible. and that one might slice in our unity during the confidence more than $500.00. the syrians from different backgrounds and officials were simply talking interesting comedies, each focusing on a crescent issue. the most important is the constitutional calamity, which was draft a new constitution for the country over the next 2 years. the national battle conference on the and advisory, buddy, it's music binding decisions about serious challenges. school is shared understanding and eventually national consensus. sylvia has just come out of the state and civil war that causes the divisions alone, security in an ethnic lines. the national de la corpus aims to promote unity,

ukraine says it's degrees on a minerals deal with the us, but there's no confirmation yet from washington present. donald trump has been putting pressure on keith to make a deal to repay the us, so we'll assign mays off present below them. is that then the rejected previous to moms full billions of dollars and minerals? well, because it didn't come with any specific security guarantees. i here's it is coming on friday. certainly it's okay with maybe like 2 and a he would like to sign it together with me and i understand. busy it's a big deal very big deal and i take the american people even if you look and. busy all and very happy because you know, by the way, throwing money around like it's cotton, candy and. busy it's, it's a very big deal, it could, it could be a trillion. busy deal, it could be whatever, but it's rivers and other things. and look,

we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars or ukraine and russia fighting a war that should and never, ever happened as well. we will get reaction some teeth, but 1st i'll just say risk. ellen's fisher explains that few details and learn about the deal. well, donald trump has been speaking in the oval office, but never gave a hint that the deal had been done. he says he's the weight of reports. the blood to me as the landscape would like to come to the white house, perhaps as early as friday to sign a deal. but we know that if there was a package that had been agreed, donald trump would be bragging about the it'd be saying that it's a cute, a great deal for the american taxpayer. he believes that the united states has spent somewhere in the region of $350000000000.00 to help ukraine during its 3 year war. the government supported monitoring unit size is much more in the area of a 180000000000. and of course we had that staggering moment in the oval office on monday. when donald trump criticized how much you could spend in ukraine at when at

emmanuel macro and put his hand on donald trump. r uncorrected to the united states also wants access to really f minerals is thought about 5 percent of the minerals in the world are under the soil. and you create including the likes of granite and lithium, and to be able to exploit that would essentially take china out of the supply chain . something that the united states has been very keen to do, particularly since the cold, with pandemic, ex, expose floors in the supply chain. so the united states very keen to get a deal done. what is missing from this, of course, is any security guarantee from the draft that they was seen that the us will under pen ukraine security. but it does promise to what for the long term economic stability as liability of ukraine. so it ties the name in one way but not exactly the way the blo do mean. so landscape was looking for so perhaps there is a deal in principle, but still

a few eyes to adult and teased across before. both sides will be healing that they have an agreement. and i would say, sure, i'll just do the washington. let's do this being described as central to ukraine's hopes and trying to win back the favor of the us president donald trump of to effectively a couple of weeks of a war of was we know that the ukrainians initially rejected the 1st draft proposal . zalinski saying that they didn't offer sufficient security guarantees from the us late to saying that he wasn't prepared to basically sell ukraine out. and we are getting reports. now. certainly, according to the reuters news agency that the presence of lensky could be traveling to the us on for. busy the day to meet donald trump off to an agreement over this deal has now be made. there are various other reports being um,

being reported on the international media. one goes into detail about exactly what this and potential deal may mean. it says that involves jointly developing mineral resources, including oil and gas off to the us dropped. it's to mullens for effectively 500000000000 in compensation for the aid and the contributions that he's made to for ukraine in the war. so far. there also reports that this will involve the setting up of some sort of fund of funding which ukraine would control 50 percent, and the proceeds would go towards the the funding of, of projects. one can only imagine in relation to the pre construction of ukraine. but as i say, this is usually significant because it has been such

a difficult time for ukraine in dealing with the kind of pressure is that seemingly the us administration has put on it with respect to this deal. and we wait for further confirmation and details from ukraine in the coming hours. child stuff, houses 0 keys, at least $63.00 soldiers from the democratic republic of congo is all male being tried in the ministry course charged with this. the thing that positions they allegedly fled in the face of the m 23 level groups involved in the barry territory in north key the provence. i'm like on a report this a complaint is government store this in the middle territory of people pro is being played by military court for this is on the closing funding and looking for part of this fluid from unforeseen entered 2 levels of misleading. so just yeah, and the government wants to show that there is

a little feasible for me. it's the crime wouldn't be punished. victory exec today, the actions the of clicking this credit army and provide on the nation told the enemy, justice must speak. the law is clear, we do not want this happening again in the armed forces of the democratic republic of congo. this is the estimate of the little things place. it will be the point to buy this thing. sonya is more than such a business in india out at the tone the most affected it was most human to do another $75.00 just sort of this old so big. right. and so to do for see me though, 1st is, this is not the 1st time homeowners, i mean i've been acquired for suspected white abuses incorporate the area of subsidies, amenities that the official allow them to, into tables as well. so i might have been accused of killing severely and then noting their properties that um you save this quote with multiple on spanish you. and as i choose, the quote is only for 30 minutes on this as well as the one on buck and $22.00

levels. of committing atrocities and is done deal to see this wake up. did you say that? um yup. is overwhelmed and out the guns from a different from the army isn't functional because that hasn't been any meaningful reform. this so much corruption within the military ranks, especially among top offices. what we're seeing on the ground is just the failure to resolve many of the issues within the army. the soldiers that just victims of the system, those with up the new bill say they're happy to test this is being saved. i am very happy to see that our companies are starting to take things more serious. i believe that our government had no loads to punish the people who stripped us of our belongings. and today they have a risk that they and those who are still at large will be afraid. i'm from the to the most us that will be on the here to drop off a little bit. will everyone here is on page, like on the oh,

thursday. and with this he might be hoping to appease from who is being repeatedly calling the native governments to increase the defense budget. you might also be hoping to find some common ground with trump, who is also recently caught his countries for an age spending no storm and says that the u. k. will continue to play a humanitarian role in places like to don, ukraine and scholars as well as choice continues to tackle climate change for charities or recording these cuts catastrophic. they say that this is just a political decision coming so soon off of the cuts in us 8. and it's just another lifeline that is now being taken away from those desperate names charlie on to the out of there and the electricity has been partially restore the impulse of chinney boss and millions of spill in the don't cost a massive power outage across the country. the state of emergency and because you have been to clubs, i left an american, the editor at least see a new vendor pulled from the capital sunday. okay. and was early afternoon when
