the i bridge office. good to have you with this on this tuesday. you my secretary of state, anthony blink and his pressing ahead with the diplomatic tour of the middle east in the hope of securing a cease fire in gossip. lincoln isn't the home where he has held the taunts with the guitar. a prime minister, lincoln said the girl, she gators have received the response from her boss on a framework for a potential hostage deal. we can says he plans to discuss this with his really leaders tomorrow, wednesday. here is us secretary of state anthony blinking when i was last in the region. a few weeks ago, i said that there's a very powerful pass so that we can see before us to actually get to lasting peace and security. and it's coming every more sharply into focus. and israel that is

integrated into the region with security guarantees from its neighbors and partners alongside a practical time bound irreversible path to a palestinian state living side by side and east thrill with the necessary security arrangements for both peoples. but there are those who want to move the region in a different direction and take a different path and who are actively working to sabotage, every effort, to move toward lasting peace and security. all right, let's take the story now to jerusalem. my colleague been for sewland is on the story for us been and talked to me. what is anthony blinking is going to be bringing to is real of tomorrow that he has received in can tar. so he'll be bringing a response from the homeless leadership that's according to will,

according to the atari pm, a positive response. he also wants to bring last thing and fair adjust the piece to the region. he's talking about saving civilian lives, not just palestinian life, but it is why the lives as well the lives of the hostages in the balance of the moment, some 136 of them believes to be dead or alive in gaza. and then we're talking about a 1000000 palestinian civilians crowded into the roof of border crossing region, where israel is talking about launching military operations a ground defensive in the coming hours or days. we don't know. we've been held in the dock on the us and much of this brands and we still don't know what this hostage deal exactly entails. just that home us once a ceasefire. lasting ceasefire and then a release of the hostages is well demanding. the release of the hostages as a possibility. event of some sort of sci fi. yeah,

and i'm talking about the hostages tonight is real. have said that 31 of the remaining hostages in gauze the 31 hostages have died. what more do we know as being reports earlier in the day, the an idea spokes person from the is where the military confirming that the t, one of the hostages audits, and that the families have been informed. this has been one of the biggest problems bread where into a 123. and so many of these relatives of hostages does have known the face of the captives um, some of these a believe to have died on october 7. there were suggestions that some of them died while in captivity. we just don't know how boss had been threatening to kill them. how much it also being saying all along that some of these hostages had died in is rarely as strikes perhaps under other circumstances,

we just started thought how muscle se hasn't been able to confirm at times their whereabouts and their whereabouts a so crucial to this hostage deal actually taking place and going ahead. yeah, it'll be interesting to see if what is this plays any role tomorrow when anthony blinking is in israel memphis. elizabeth the latest in jerusalem. ben, thank thanks frank. we're now going to a legal blow for donald trump. a us federal appeals court has ruled, the former president does not have immunity from charges that he plodded to overturn his 2020 election defeat judges rejected trumps claim that he can not be prosecuted because the obligations relate to his presidential responsibilities any possible case against draw has basically been on hold while the court considers the arguments for which a ruling was handed down to date. trump says he plans to appeal i to sharper now

than i did 20 or washington correspondent janelle tomato told us more about the trump's claim of immunity. as well, basically his defense centered around him not being immune for being in the unit for being prosecuted from acts committed while he was president. now this is of course, so a no said not the 3 judge panel on this d. c. federal district appeals court has now soundly rejected in a 57 page ruling. we pulled this out of that ruling. the panel wrote for the purpose of this criminal case, former president, trump has become citizens to citizen trump, with all of the defences of any other criminal defendant. but any executive community that may have protected him while he served as president no longer protects them against this prosecute action. so in addition to that, despite arguing that he should have the fact of immunity,

his lawyers also try to sort of double jeopardy defense. this idea that somebody accused can not stand trial twice for essentially the same crime. now they argue with that because trump already faced impeachment in the house of representatives for trying to reverse the result of the 2020 election, but was not convicted by the senate. then essentially he already had his day in court and he doesn't need another. now, of course, we know that impeachment proceedings are political proceedings and not criminal proceedings. as thoughts of this argument did not count in the way that tom's lawyer is wanted. already heard from the trunk campaign. in response to this ruling, this from campaign spokesman is even strong prosecuting a president for official acts violates the constitution and threatens the bedrock of our republic. president trump respectfully disagrees with a d. c circuits decision and will appeal it in order to safe guard the presidency and the constitution. that's where they stand on that. so what's gonna happen next in the me is going to appeal is, is there a guarantee that the supreme court will,

will hear this case that need to do we know what will happen eventually as well as we heard their trump is expected to appeal. what is on what is unclear at the moment is whether he will exercise this judgment of bringing up this option of bringing it to the full dc circuit for review. he may do that, or he may appeal to the supreme court directly. now if he's going to appeal to the supreme court directly, he has until monday, february 12 to do that. so that is a very quick turn around that is just in a matter of days. now, if the supreme court does agree to hear the case, however, then really a lot is writing on how much they will be able to get done before the general election in november. because we know that citizen trump, of course, is also likely republican presidential, nominee trump, he has every incentive to see this trial delayed,

to see all this potential trials move till past the election and election that he might potentially win. in which case, you might also ask about his department of justice to junk the case. he may even potentially part in himself. so a lot is going to depend on whether the supreme court decides to hear this case. and what happens from that or? yeah, still a lot of unanswered questions that you're sure, janelle and washington, thank you us. all right, let's get you up to speed now. and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. torrential rain has triggered but slides and flooding across the southern california. much of the us state is under extreme weather advisories. at least 3 people have been killed. hundreds of thousands of people are now without power. at least 11 people have died at a fire at a fireworks factory and central india authorities in the state of mind. the for dish say at least another $150.00 people were injured. in the blast rescue crews are racing. define potential survivors. the united states has said that it's

disappointed that hungary ruling party walked a vote on sweden's bid to join nato. and jerry and prime minister victor, oregon, and his c ds party have been stalling stock homes bid ever since 2022. hungary is now the only nato, a country that not to ratify more, you know, stock homes, membership applications, which i'll talk with that chat with your opinion has reached that agreement on how to tackle to begin tackling violence against women. and it comes despite some countries, including germany and france, blocking new rules, setting out a legal definition of the word rate of plans to define rate as an act where there is an absence of consent. those plans were unsuccessful calls for a yes means yes, law group loudly following protests in spain several years ago after the sentencing of a group of men who were convicted of sexual abuse and not convicted of rate. the group

which is known as the wolf pack, were given lighter sentences after using a legal loophole. in the definition of our correspondent jack cherokee told me why germany and france blocked this proposal to have a european union wide definition of rape. but it's quite a simple onset buttons, to be honest, is the facts that they feel the criminal more of this nature is a national competence of it shouldn't be in a you wide definition. having said that, the, i mean pieces that have been the russell to us just sort of leading this file that just vicinity through the institutions of the european union facing please say that's okay. then do nothing to the, this is all about the definition of rate as yes means yes. so that is, if a perpetrator of a rape is in a quote, they have to prove that the victim of that rate would then would have given the

consent. and that's that full would get them off from a rate as opposed to no means no, as in the victim of the rate has to explicitly say no, we know that situations where women and other people are raped as well. the, it doesn't always a might into a situation where there's a know the piece here in the european parliament the they say that they do believe that this can change, that they can continue this fight, that this is the 1st stage in this. and that's why they've, they've got behind the law. i'm proposed and put a i that today. yeah, i'm wondering, um jack, why giving you repeating parliament? why did they pull back to me? they had been in favor of getting this through this definition included. and then it seems they retreated this they did, but what the piece that of that have put this on the table. this is positive abroad . a piece of low co d u gender directive within it. what we've got today is a finding of female genital mutilation. in the european union, an outlining of,

of criminal behavior related to, sorry, the flashing of cyber stool king especially of women protections of women's rights in the workplace. this is the 1st time that women's rights have been enshrined across the european union and they wanted to make sure that those rise would be collectively assigned in the you didn't want to get hung up on this one issue of the definition of raped and as i say that cooling on the member states of the you to make these definitions themselves if they don't want to do it, you white. what they also interesting the did was get a 5 year revision clause into this last and 5 is the time that you can push for this to try and be involved in the little bit this with this. yes means yes. close and a little bit of background here, jack. this movement only yes means yes. it started after a huge controversy around the rape case in spain and madrid that brought in this

law that we're talking about. but is it fair to say that it's been rather problem manage their so yeah, it really has so space the only country that has it? yes means yes. so, and it was off to this move pack goes back quotes that they've done re piss rate to women at the running of the bulls in pamplona in 2016. and during that trial, the defense showed a video of the woman where she was immobile with her eyes closed and said that because she hadn't explicitly said no, it couldn't be a mind, it's a rape. and those type of traits is initially only got charged with sexual abuse and not with rate payment brought in a just means yes, a little bit. it became very complicated because defense lawyers, for rapists that had already been imprisoned, managed to find loopholes. because the definition was a straight, which live 1300 sites are defend the sex offenders to be released from prison. and that's part of the reason is why wife's so many people are being complicated. i find this

a complicated role is to bring in but the european parliamentarians to say that the rule that the, the identification, the clarification of what they're proposing a clear they hope it will be both in and fight, is jack perry for us. and strossberg jack is always thank you. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more real news followed by the day i hope to see you then the pricing strategies with a lot say what grade the this is the story of china is historic. economic slowdown and what the end of its decades on the means for the rest of asia,

the most dynamic region of the global economy.
