[000:00:00;00] the the hello i'm sort of in. yeah, it's great to have you with us. this is the news our life from don't. coming up in the program today. we are rated to peace with just in the last thing. this is very important. ukraine agrees to us proposal for a 30 day ceasefire with russia after high level talks and saudi arabia and the kremlin says it waits details from washington. anger and gaza asked us for palestinians are killed by is really fire despite

a ceasefire. and the efforts to move along the process. pakistani forces are in a stand off with an armed group that has attacked the train and taking hostages and baluchistan prophets. they have rescued a $150.00 passengers so far. the boss in prosecutor's office issues interest warrants, the bosnian serve leader miller. our daughter will have a live up and is 4 or 5 sounds on my i've not clear to pull out of the champions. the, the tie was decided and the penalty shoots out to a p, a. c. securing the spot in the quotes upon or the equipment has responded to ukraine's approval of an american ceasefire. proposal saying it is a waiting details from washington. this is the 1st official comments out of most go into us plan for a 30 day ceasefire between russia and ukraine. the plan proposes

a hold to all the fighting on land sea and in the air. the agreement between keys in washington came after several hours of talks and saudi arabia houses here. as i said, big as this report from keith. for over 3 years, the warren ukraine has raised tens of thousands killed millions displays to end result to ukraine losing 20 percent of his territory to russian forces. but now we're stuck to the fighting is within sight. today we made an offer that the ukrainians have accepted which is to enter into a ceasefire and into immediate negotiations to end this conflict in a way that's enduring and sustainable and accounts for their interest, their security, their ability to prosper is a nation presidency that's gives us to meet the white house of $2.00 to $4.00 that to the us present donald trump less than 2 weeks ago. don't tell us what we're going to feel that the tone tools that you create insights on the americans has changed. ukraine will sign a re, uh, minerals deals to develop a clansman roosevelt and has also accepted the us proposal for an immediate cease

fire issue we'll give it was more reasonable up to date in that conversation. there was a proposal from the american side to take the 1st step right away and try to establish a complete cx 5 to 30 days. not only regarding miss solve drones and palms, not only in the black sea, but also along the entire front line. in return the us, we lifted the suspension of minute to 8 intelligence share with ukraine. it's where the ukranian forces to once again have information on russian positions. the meeting inside your rape is just the 1st step, but it shows ukraine has made the fast move towards peace. sure, great. you love to bring your ukraine is ready to accept it. russia agrees to us to introduce a 30 day cease far as the 1st step in order to start preparing some of the important documents to prepare for negotiations on the streets of the ukrainian capital keeps . the news is met with skepticism. russia is not ready to stop the war. there have

been a few attempts of negotiations, but even during these talks, there were missiles being fired of the united states as it was, take the proposal to russia. ukraine is agreed to it and hopefully russia will agree to it. we're going to meet with them later on today and tomorrow. and hopefully we'll be able to wipe out a deal. but i think this is far, is very important. we get rushing to do it. that will be great if we can't, we just keep going on and people to get a good deal of lots of it. for now, everyone is waiting to see what happens next. i mean, nobody else. so big is with a slide from key 1st. so let's go to dorsey jabari, who is in moscow dorset, the pressure is now on russia to respond to the ceasefire proposal. you've just started hearing from russian officials in the past hour. what did you learn, as well as the position that we've heard a on wednesday from the kremlin spokesperson, dimitri pest golf, is that russia is not going to rush to make any decisions. they need more

information. the kremlin spokesperson during his daily briefings, said that russia is closely studying the statements coming out from ukrainian officials, as well as the us officials after the meeting in jetta in saudi arabia. and that context between us officials and russian officials are planned in the coming days. and that is when russia is going to get more information from the united states government about this propose a ceasefire plan. and then they will make a decision, their mutual best costs, obviously being very cautious. and this is a decision that's going to have to come from the commander chief, that is, the country's president vladimir put in. and in the past putting has set explicitly that russia is not interested in a temporary truce, because this provides ukraine with an opportunity to re arman regroup, and then restart the fight a once the truce period. and so they are very skeptical about the possibility of

a temporary cease fire being acceptable to the russians. and that any kind of an agreement, russia would accept, has to be a long term as settlement to the crisis in new crate. so it dimitri pest golf, again saying that the russians are waiting to have discussions with their us carol parts. and then we will know more about the russian position and their decision. of course, as lighter we put in is the one that will ultimately have to make that call door. so i wonder how's the russian press responding to the developments that unfold? of yesterday, the talks between ukraine and the us in which the us seemed to take a step back towards you credit as well. there's a lot of skepticism. i'm going to show you a 2 newspapers. this is the are. so are us as kayak, cuz that's how this is the government's affiliated paper and the main headline is

about cursed. it's about deliberation of the russian forces. retaking 12 settlements one day over the weekend in the western region of russia. and that they were, they've been fighting with ukrainian forces since the ukraine launch this incursion onto russian territory. and course in august. so that is the main headline. and then the on the side here, it says kids plays with the world ukraine, broad subject, the settlement plan that is unacceptable to russia. this gives you an idea of where this article is heading and the point of view of governments affiliated newspaper. there's also commerce on which is an independent paper and the main headline is reads 30 days without war. us offered ukraine weapons in exchange for peace. this gives you a some sense of how this proposal by the us government is being viewed. there's a lot of skepticism, of course the russians have been here before and they're very cautious about how

they're going to proceed. and the media is very well aware of that doses or borrowing reporting and most of the thank you very much. the ortho is going to keep as a big a, standing by in the ukraine in capital. so yesterday i said was a win for ukraine. what are officials saying what we've just heard from the farm is in the foreign ministry spokesperson go. okay, that's the headset that difficult to compromise. these were made in negotiations with the united states and just the inside you rape. and he said that the training and ticket delegation that by president speed, remotely, he spoke about some of the things that happened off campus. some of the things that are not in the headlines that with a managed years later, and i think what the farm is both based on to say is that this is very difficult for that. you claim the delegation of they may even get criticized by some hair in ukraine, but people don't see what happens behind those doors that we've also heard from the fine mr. andrea civic. uh huh. he says, ukraine is ready to create

a working group that will prepare for the implementation of the ceasefire. and as you just heard from my colleagues do associate, she said that this skepticism in russia, but there's also skepticism here on the streets of the ukraine. you'd have to keep many people's hope for a cease by hope for the end of the will, but also very skeptical over the russia with a, by any kind of agreement as a vague reporting from key. thank you very much. i said the israeli forces as killed at least 10 people in gaza in the past 24 hours. funeral prayers have been held for for palestinians were killed on tuesday near the next room car door, which separates northern gods are from the south. they've also been attacks and rasa, and by noon and, and gaza city, israel has conducted regular strikes on gaza since the ceasefire came into effect

in late january. it comes as israel's total blockade of the strip enters the 11th day. no food fuel or medicine has been allowed to cross into gaza. on monday, the only remaining electricity line from israel was also cut, which supplied a vital water dissemination plant. a tie, cowboys, whom is live in on this. they're out in central garza so tara, cuz i understand that you are at a power plant in guys that we know that there is very, very, almost no power remaining inside the gaza strip. it has been the case for a significant portion of the war. there was a little bit more power that went in and now is real, has cut those lines. so explain to us what the situation is that the power plant behind you doesn't generate any colorado as well, sir, what we understands that since october 2023 uh, this post plans that you can see at the bucket ground has not been operational due to fuel shortages as well has not allowed

a full fuel impulse to take place except in very limited amount that has been uh, that have been used for humanitarian purposes. as a result, we know that hospitals will, to problems along side with communication networks has been facing us. the power outages and shortages as we started to read all your own backups in the rates as that were restarted to struggle due to fuel costs 50. and we also need to remind all of us that this part blonde was built back in 2002 and has been always struggling to provide electricity. services for palestinians are due to a set of factors, including the political disputes in press drop, ship them to damage, and if you'll shortages. and now with this, the ongoing is fairly control over the intro. the q has made its operations to take place on the ground to lay a place, sounds on exist, non existent. tar, just before i go back to do hard to get

a briefing from stephanie decker on the current state of the ceasefire talks. what are how my saying on these talks right now the world, how much has issued a statement saying that a 2nd round of negotiations assaulted yesterday as the movement has been dealing seriously? which huge positivity and also a positive it see with the, the, the, the, these ongoing negotiations. we understand that these things, agents also including having conversations with us in volume of captives the 1st uh would. they have also reiterated that they hope that this a round of negotiations will bring, tell them to pull progress that will pay that way for the reconstruction of garza, for the usability withdrawal from the entire territory. the completion of the, of the is of the prison exchange to you as how much is spokes person i've loved be . so kind to has the states that this has been

a part of how much this is chuck disease that has shown over the course of the past week, but posted in for us to close the monitoring and watching the outcomes of these meetings in order to see what the gaza strip of witness a new period of a step in it to or will be plunged into new darkness installation and very difficult a carrier that will absolutely bring nothing more instability and destruction to the gaza strip. so yeah, it's are couple assume reporting from on this, they're out in the central guy, so thank you to you and your team dark. a high level is really delegation is in doha, as we were discussing for talks with mediators on the gaza ceasefire. first phase ended on march the 1st. now us special envoy, steve woodcock, is also expected to join the negotiations. israel wants to extend the 1st phase while i'm us wants to progress to the next phase as agreed a back in january. there's been no agreements on how to implement the 2nd phase, which would see the complete withdrawal of israeli troops and the release of the

remaining captive. stephanie decker is live in doha. so brief us on the talk, stephanie, where we are now and where it might be headed of the yes. oh, very secretive. we do know that steve, with the call is now here in doha. they are holding tubes with these res was a guitar is on what the next steps are. you were talking there about phase one and phase 2. the problem is, was phase 2 when it comes to these raise is that these really prime minister sees phase 2 for him. it is political suicide. already his allies in government have said that there will never be a face to and they will withdrawal from government meeting a collapse and of you know, essentially netanyahu as prime minister, only long since the beginning. everybody said when the ceasefire was agreed that the big question was whether it will ever get to phase 2. why? because it needs a full withdrawal of israeli forces. it means, you know,

i'm looking to the step forward, basically an end to the war. now, from these really side, the images that we've seen of how mass, when you've had captive releases in pristine uniforms, hundreds and hundreds of organized fighters vehicles with weapons. the message has been very clear that how much is not defeated groups, so there is no way benjamin netanyahu, who can capitulate to his right wing to the pressure and agree to a 2nd phase, which would basically mean ending do more. so this is what the americans with the stars in the addictions are trying to mediate a step forward what seems to be on the table. just briefly, farrell is a 60 day extension of the 1st phase for 10 captives to be released, live captives on behalf of how much we're gonna have to wait and see if anything comes out of the tools. but they are certainly ongoing. stephanie decker reporting from the thank you very much, stephanie. 3, miss scott joins us. your reporter or re and commentator. are these really newspaper hall red cent channel. 13 use you are joining us from television today. thanks for your time. we're going to talk about politics in just a 2nd,

but before we do that, what's just the day to day conversation, like in israel at the moment about the war and about these negotiations. as well as, because it depends where you talk to in the morning. but i would say there is a vast majority of these relatives now we're really wants to get all the hosted hostages back and are less eager to go to war again in guys that i wouldn't mention that it's all very mixed here with the intent and political problems and you know, it's not only is the right wing government, it's also a budget they have to pass in. the parliament is also facing is a criminal litigation, him courts even now as we speak, he is in court fighting the charges, the state has stated against him. so it's very complicated here at the moment. okay, so re i was gonna ask you about the budget, and i think many of our, perhaps many of our international viewers will look at this from the outside. don't

understand how significant this is. but benjamin netanyahu has an end of the month deadline to pass a budget. now he needs a certain amount of political capital to get that over the finish line, and he may not have it. tell us about that and how that impacts gauze to okay in general lines. and if you don't approve the budget until the end of march, automatically the government falls, the bottom and resigns. and we have new elections within the. okay. and the for the, because it's not very popular at the votes at the moment so we can go to election. this thing with the budget in the things the world has coasted so much to these really kind of makes in state of we have no tory, it's been many things. i'm not working well economically here and he's right wing 5 and is like the orthodox jews in the settlers. and once they share and there's not enough money for the audit goes and that's makes it very controversial,

very tight racing. the problem in, at the moment, i know it sounds strange, but the, the effects also the guys a question. because as you said before and my colleagues will talk to you said before everything is in these red is connected, budget is also connected to the policy guys right now, i think what anthony wants to do more than all of them. it's what he's always doing is buying time postponing the problem is postponing the decisions, but he doesn't have much time left since march is already on his way. we have 19 days to budget time. okay, again i, i want to make sure our viewers get that connection between domestic politics and the guy is a ceasefire plan. you said if there's no budget or a new elections which benjamin netanyahu might lose. and he's got very, very little political capital to spare, right? now, on things like sci fi, it talks that may not be popular with the government is that, is that how we square that circle? is that right? very good description or what it just it,

it will be popular in the easier and the majority of the population because most of these early to my opinion are sick and tired of the ongoing work. and 1st of all, the ones or the hostages back in the ceasefire was not been for policies, or at least it's both a little bit, a comma quite against. and it's not popular in these really majority to go back into war. no, but it is popular in he's right. wing govern. that's the noise problem. all right, so remains gov commentator at all right, so i've got more questions for you, but we're out of time for this hour. we will talk again. thank you very much. all right, thank you. is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is back in court and telling me to testify in his corruption trial as or where he was just reminding us 3 separate cases were filed against him in 2019 including allegations of bribery fraud in breach of trust. that now who has denied any wrong doing and he has called the allegations, fake is really forces have killed,

at least for palestinians during raids. and janine and the occupied westbank have also blown up a house in calculating the north. israel has demolished dozens of tennessee and homes in recent weeks. syria's new government has revealed more about what the country's future constitution could look like. the administration in damascus says there will be a focus on transitional justice and ensuring crime is committed under the previous a sad regime or prosecuted. it will also restrict the possession of weapons to the states. the european union says it is responding to us steel terrace with its own counter measures worth $28000000000.00, which will be implemented into phases starting april. the 1st it comes out to the trump administration, imposed 25 percent terrace on all stealing aluminum products. going into the united states, the seo of one of the largest us aluminum makers has one of the towers could cost around

a $100000.00 jobs. but president trump has defended his tears in front of business leaders in washington. he says they're a targeted tool that will force companies to increase manufacturing in the us. as the tariffs are they, they don't want to pay 25 percent or whatever it may be. it may go up higher, maybe go up or look, the higher it goes, the more likely it is they going to build. and ultimately, the biggest win is not the tariff or that's a big when there's a lot of money. but the biggest win is if they move into a country and produce jobs, that's a bigger women, the tariffs themselves, but they used to tear. so going to be throwing off a lot of money to this country. and we've been ripped off for years by other countries many, many decades. and they were doing the same thing. the terrace of driving a wedge between the us is top and supplier canada, rob reynolds reports on the terrace that risk pushing the closest north american neighbors apart. troops metal terrace will have an immediate and harmful effect on

us base manufacturing, increasing supply and increasing prices for vast number of us made products, the us auto industry for one is heavily dependent on imported metals. so is airplane manufacturing which relies on imports of cheaper canadian aluminum in the food and beverage sector, 70 percent of the steel used to make food cans comes from foreign sources, including canada and the list goes on. what we have to recognize is it will be a cost driver across the economy. so even though it's focused primarily now and ceiling alone, there will be a ripple effect across the economy and the ability to manage those costs is going to take a series of months. if not years. for decades. us industries have been heavily intertwined with their counterparts in canada and mexico. for example, canadian companies produce a large share of parts for the us. auto industry prompts move destroy that

intricate web of trade. the largest difficulty in terms of the trading system is that nobody knows what the united states is going to do from moment to moment. canada has long been, one of the us is most important trading partners. second only to mexico in overall trade, the tariffs on such an established us economic ally, send a message worldwide just as the us under trump can no longer be relied upon for military aid to its allies. other countries can no longer look to the us for economic stability. they don't understand this guy. they are use to be phenomena, political security, cooperation, and consistency. and all of that is gone. so it's not knowing what's gonna happen tomorrow. or in some cases, the next hour,

trump threatened to escalate the trade war by levying new tariffs on canadian automobiles beginning next month. and he repeated his call for canada to become part of the united states. rob reynolds, l g 0, los angeles. or i'll surely as government says it will not impose retaliatory tariffs on the us, but probably minister anthony of an easy says trump's measures have called into question australia is relationship with the us. such a decision by the trumpet administration is entirely unjust upon dcs against the spirit of that to nations in during friendship and fundamentally adults with the benefits that out. economic partnership has deliberate of a more than 70 is a strategy. it has no tariff, some good phone data, not states. it's a large military operation is underway in pakistan to free hundreds of hostages taken during an attack on a train in baluchistan province. on tuesday,

the train was traveling from the provincial capital of quite the to the northern city of special or what it was attacked inside of the tunnel. 155 freed passengers are receiving medical treatment. like a 70 security official say dozens more still being held. and the 27 attackers have been killed. the separatists baluchistan liberation army has claimed responsibility for this attack. i beg you with folded hands, please bring my child back. why didn't you stop the trains if they weren't safe? if you had stopped the train and there were no tickets, we would have known and would not have departed. this is a difficult time for the entire nation or security situation is not ideal, but it also has its own factors like the government is below, tristan and its security forces are doing their best to improve security and come out hyde or isn't this some of that he sent us this report, the military operation to save hostages on the job for the express has been

underway all through the night. i know still continuing this figure, do force him to think that this is a sensitive operation that lives at the stake. i figured it starts, it goes to saying that idea that goods that suicide jackets that a large number of people on that trade. but there is some confusion as to read the edward that security forces that letter to release of those hostages. doug was cause of a to a nearby of interest asia north for the walk are they included women and children that believes liberators unami at says that they were releasing good women and children. so question marks on that. however, that security forces are also claiming that they have good at least $27.00 of the attackers. there's a large number of attackers. hundreds of passengers are still under j. now the but usually what is your nami, has taken responsibility for several tedney at tax, including attacks on chinese engineers. and the question marks as to whether the government of watch prepared for the subject or de sure it's

a dag given the fact that but not just on had been racked by why they come out of how you did the data is some about the south africa's government is set to present as budgets and the coming hours. the nation has been facing of cost of living crisis that has been affecting tens of millions of households. the budget has to be postponed last month after the 2 main parties and the routing coalition failed to agree on an increase in value added tax else's here as for me to miller reports from cape town, living hand to mouth. that's how when he's one of describes how she and a family get by each month until she lost a job. 2 years ago, she was one of the main bred windows. and now the 10 people living here rely on the income of one as an l. that have to search for it, but the on it if they've gone have a safe place to stay. i cannot afford at the moment how we lie, survive with that to,

to st extra on the feet to cost. it's when you click on to a kid and that's exactly what the south african government is considering. raising the venue at a tax play up to 2 percent to send a revenue show for the finance minnesota once to waive an additional $10000000.00 in the next 3 years. but there appears to be additional agreements and how we does that. governments coordination partners, civil society and union, say a tax increase is an extreme measure that will only make the plus cora. you're in the on whole familiar engine harness, but people line up what could be their only meal of the day i started doing covert full time doing 232 and the numbers have increased drastically since we see that there's a huge demand for food. people continuously phoning us every day, messaging us and boxing us to help them with food campus to buy electricity. you even somehow cry out to help them pay the rent the budget speech is expected to

outline how the government will support economic growth in a country that will really has $1.00 of the world highest unemployment and poverty rates. part is exhausted by the 2nd plus effect, caption corruption, work as a study, the size of most people pace with inflation. the cause of lucas by like electricity solves for food. also have a place that is high above the overall inflation rate. so we think it is limited for government to continue to force on those use of corruption and government mismanagement. i've already closed significant anger. so me de la ultra 0 cape town, south africa. the still ahead on alpha 0. former philippine president were 3 go to 2 days, flowing to the hague, face charges of crimes against humanity and supports for doubts over the future plane. career of tiger woods,

son of how much has that story made himself a everyone. let's for all, with your weather update across europe and africa. so more and more of europe is becoming unsettled, rain and even some snow showers for the else as well. check out what happens on thursday. these pulses of rain pretty much from slovenia, down to albania, but if we really pick it out around, croatia buys, they are and fonts and agro this area is already been hit hard by some rain and that will continue wednesday into thursday. has been pouring rain for days in both portugal and spain that continues with more rounds of rain in the forecast here. that is also dropping down into the northwest of africa. so rain piles in to morocco still are what pitcher and grip on today on wednesday. so there are always
