a lecturer in the field of international relations and defense. he's also a former director of defense intelligence operations and contact earlier he told us which gaps still need to be bridged in these negotiations. well, obviously the escal atory seemed right now from industry standpoint has to be addressed. the problem situation bluff is uncomfortable. it is uh right now the last uh place where a huge ease of some sort of calm uh, relative, obviously it's been shot to drive now with the bombings and the fear of a landing connection just to me. so i have to know all of that. so in that situation right now and roughly looms over all negotiations as one might expect, office to save africa has asked the international court of justice to consider whether israel's actions and ralph

a breach orders 100 down with the court last month. so if i forgot broke the case against israel alleging genocide in a preliminary ruling last month, the court ordered israel to do everything possible to prevent the death of palestinians in gaza. all right, well here's a look now at some of their stories making headlines. the us senate has approved a $95000000.00 foreign aid package and include some $60000000000.00 in a free ukraine, as well as funds for israel and taiwan. the bill 9 proceeds to the republican lighthouse of representatives were faces an uncertain future set. a goal is the government has co to mobile internet access for a 2nd time this month and find a protest against the delayed presidential elections. un says it's concerned about the use of unnecessary force with 3 reported dead in recent demonstrations to pose open soon in indonesia as presidential elections. 3 candidates are facing off,

but with one care of favored pro to be unto has the backing of current president. joe, go we, dodo, and is leading out pro proud bobo is also a controversial figure. accused of human rights abuses during indonesia is dictatorship. is rival say they will offer the country 8 needed change in what is one of the world's biggest democratic exercises? indonesia holding the biggest single day election on february 14th, voters are electing a new president and vice president, members of parliament and local legislative bodies. over 204000000 indonesians are registered to vote. the election is a massive logistical undertaking. the papers have to be distributed to more than 8 100000 following booth across the archipelago of sun, 17000 islands in this year's election with feeling less concerned about the printing and distribution of bennett papers and other logistical issues about them

. just because we want to see over the past month, we just actively managed to track the movements of the pallets and other election materials from production site to the building stations at the city and district levels before me leaving light. another challenge is the oval of a number of the papers, each containing hundreds of names to choose from. as folders must elect president and vice president as well as roughly 20000 legislators at the national provincial and district level, from approximately a quarter 1000000 candidate. about 55 percent of voters are age between $17.40. these young folders are likely to determine the winner for many of them. if you're confused about the electoral system. i know most of it is quite a bit confusing. actually, i do understand a little bit about the difference in the system. in the past you have to pay for the prostate. now you have to kind of that, but maybe if it's the, let's just that you think it's more complex, most confusing. to me,

i'm still confused about the pallets what the different colors mean. us don't even understand a bit confused about the candidates on monday, the hedge data with their plan to build boats and flags around. but i can't quite tell which ones are competing in my area. i don't have that, so i'm confused betsy. daddy really, apple people see all 3 candidates are vying to become the next president opinion. a policy just kind of administer problems of angel is enjoy a considerable lead over the other 2 candidates. the new president with the knocker read it in october. in pakistan, 2 major parties have agreed to join forces to form a government stats after last week's election failed to produce a decisive winner. former prime minister now was to reese artie as an artist that he has nominated his younger brother shop. as for the top job, they'll partner with the pakistan people's party and other smaller parties and move appears to india and visions of former prime minister and run cons. p t party to

form a government. cons party was fired from elections, but independent candidates back to buy him one the most seats. a bar. i've met a professor at the university american university in washington, dc on a former pakistani ambassador to the u. k. in orland spoke to dw earlier, and he told us more about the new coalition and the armies involvement in the election. you have 3 major parties, one, lots of seats and follow meant, but none of them can form a government on their own. they have to form coalitions. so in the shape, the head of the most indeed is aligned with the 50 b. i did buy a list, has a body and belong for 2 to form the government. and he is nominated. his brothers show by schafer was prime minister previously to be the next 5 minutes. so. so you have the why should he respond to the most indeed or make a comment. but it was remains of feeling government because of the constant you

rely on. it's good issues, but the people who are wanting in fact, demanding the presidency. so if somebody becomes a prime minister, then mr. somebody who has been present previously becomes a present again. and these of the same figures that the wrong time has been attacking as corrupt and incompetence. the army indeed does the critical disorders visible, but it does remain a potent force and bucks on politics. i would imagine that they would want a coalition government precisely because it's really meant to be government and therefore allowing me to have some c and fodder matches. and uh, but the people folks on have, i think i have an understanding of what's going on. and then for the army, it said for the 1st time in the history of bucks then has gone in for a lot of criticism. so unfortunately, but this is dividing something that software is not being divided, not being exposed to a lot of the army generals. in fact,

of being personally attacked. if you go online, but in the video you will see a lot of a vitriolic. what do you have circulating? so the armies dab invisible as it 12, but at the same time people understand it's a, it's a strength and important member of the science. it's a huge ami, a sofa. it's a very well organized me, the oppression taught me, and unfortunately, is be as far as the public is concerned, used in these are and actions in a negatively the carnival celebrations are in full swing in many parts of the world. including of course brazil. hundreds of thousands of people have been lining the streets of rio de janeiro to watch the world famous parade's. there's also a competitive element to the festivities with the cities top, some of the schools buying for attention. miles of sequins and shimmying diginero as well. the famous carnival is well

underway and the cities tops on the schools are putting their best feet fluids competing to when the top prize low for sound as impossible to explain it is an emotion has never felt before. this is my 1st time competing here . i'm doing it with the legends of my school. this 2024 carnival ruby hours. so much as this 1st thing with excitement. there's so much enthusiasm here. each school brings a different scene to life. from the legend surrounding the catch you fruits and ne and brazil. to a tribute to the book, a kind of defect by brazilian right to anna maria gonzalez, about the african slave trade to brazil, the 12 some the schools from the cities,

different neighborhoods. apollo took the 2 day competition. each community is reaching for the school to win and be given the chance to parade again on saturday . they pass a month for the parade. creating had made cost teams and practicing complex choreography. so we know that the crowds and hopefully the carnival judges to in the conflict between israel and the palestinians is playing out in the world of culture to theater projects, open pots of expression for palestinian kids. they don't use rebecca richards went to jeanine in the occupied westbank to visit one such a project in here, it's 1920. these young palestinian act is a hosting a play telling the story of this region. 1920

of to world war one. the production recounts historical displacements and occupation told by the youth who are living the consequences. it's the latest in jeanine's freedom theater program. since its founding buying is riley activist in the late 19 eighties. this u. c. a to has aimed to be a refuge for young palestinians here in the north and west bank. the com who were able to express over a motion slip a few have great energy the toward inside of falls of to everything we've witnessed from bombings, shootings, and rates. so we come here to venture this energy and this hill saved here. so we can express what's on the chest and say whatever we want. but not only that organizes see themselves as freedom fighters, very much part of a resistance movement. the space was created, defaults to coach from the position to israel is occupation and has itself vain

that congress of violence love. absolutely. i don't know what the reasons, but in my opinion, art and culture have a strong message, a strong resistance and defense. for this reason, the freedom to ease has been targeted for yes, actually it was done. this name was done this in 2002 during the 2nd palestinian uprising. he's writing military destroyed is now the war and gaza intentions in the west bank. a threatening of the game and by the best in the side of me after the events that took place on the 7th of october everson changed indeed in the whole region, the tunneling gauze. but also in the west bank and the old police team in territories . the public spam in december during an incursion on jeanine is randy false is rated the caea to painted graffiti on the walls and arrested 2 of its stuff. one is still in detention without charge project lead is try but cannot take

their mind off. what's happening in this city dentist and are stuck in the other half of the nice ordinary life may smoke more and about what could happen to all of us. because since we hear the sound of drones from the sky and the summer get despite the fear and the pressure organizes continue with that part in what they call the stuff. but when the feeling hope, the one day that we in the west bank boosting and sleeping and is through and those leaving and gaza luck, they find the freedom and independence with pie to the end because it's impossible to keep leaving this way. everyone deserves freedom and peace and has the right to leave as they want. has the right to decide their own destiny. when it comes to the field, using culture to look back at the past with a clear emission to try to affect the future. right, you're up to the idea of next is choices where we need to end
