i'm told me a logical welcome to the program israel and has bought. i have agreed to a 60 day sci fi to end of the fighting in 11 on people across the southern 11 and celebrate the news of the deal, which comes into effect at 4 am local time on wednesday, under the agreement is ready and has while our troops ought to gradually withdrawal from southern lebanon to be replaced by the lebanese army as bella and israel have continued to exchange rocket far as the deadline approaches is to choose hold with . it will bring an end to over a year of violence between the 2 parties and the united states and fronds where a key parties in brokering the deal you as president joe biden, praise the agreement as a critical step towards brought a peace deal in the conflict which began with the homeless terror attacks on israel

and october, last year. israel has been told about, has been bold on the battlefield ran. and its proxy is a paid a very heavy price. now is there about the bone charging tactical guys against the ran is proxies you know coherent strategy that's a cure israel's long term as long term safety and advanced as a broader peace and prosperity in the region. today's announcement is a critical step in advancing that vision. and so our plot, crazy decision made by the late is 11 on israel and the violence reminds us that peace is possible to i also need all these correspondents in washington dc. benjamin alvarez goober, what prussia, the us brought to band both sides to agree to cease 5 or ongoing negotiations for many months, including the us, france, 11 on israel and the requested. now the many

a having is how will this be enforced and what will happen over the next a couple of days. following this remark, there was a joint press statement from president barton and also from french president and micro saying that both nations are committed on working with both israel and lebanon to ensure that this agreement is fully implemented and enforced. and we also heard it more details from a higher ranking us official that says the fronts will join and the already existing mechanism that was created up to the war in 2006. and they will be both diplomatic and military, it channels and through them, the us will work with the lebanese army. and this administration official also said that there will be resources allocated to support the reconstruction of 11 on because in the past. and that's also one of the learnings and that they, they said is that is, was often as well lied to help with the reconstruction. and now it's not only 11 and to interest to support the economic growth and seeing this as an opportunity to re establish power and the territory and also what's and pulled. that was something

that we've heard over and over here from washington, is that the won't be you as compet trips in the year, but there will be support crews to help also enforce deceased. prior to joining us now is steven a cook's a senior fellow for them, at least in africa, studies at the council on foreign relations. good to have you with us. stephen. now we seem an intensified wave of strikes and the final, as before this season comes into effect. do you expect the ceasefire to hold as well? if we go by the history of seas buyers in the region of late? no, i think the real question is how the united states will manage this mechanism message being called to enforce the ceasefire. one, how will the mechanism a compel? it has the law to withdraw beyond the latanya river,

which is about 18 miles north of the is really border and what the united states in france will do when it comes to a question of violations. um, will they agree with the israel that something is a violation or the lebanese government that something isn't a violation and what will be the consequences of those by of a variety of a given violation. so these are details that no one knows the answer to i don't even believe that us officials know the answer to these questions. and it is clear that his blog will test this mechanism as soon as it can. yeah, i mean, speaking of hezbollah, they had said they would continue their attacks until israel stopped as operations and gaza. now we seem to see spot. is this some kind of admission of defeat on that bought? absolutely. it demonstrates that his blogs, words were empty. uh, and that it could not under withering is really fire,

particularly since september. uh, continue to uh like, uh and, and support from us from a foreigner. of course, his book lot never did as much as the how much leadership had wanted it to do and believed it would do. but nevertheless, the continuous rock and byron israel was a significant security chance result just that it had to evacuate close to 80000 of its own resident. but now after the is really weird or an assault on his block. they really care manage uh to be the same kind of security threat and support from us from us. no stands alone. and it's a critical moment. they can either decide to go for a ceasefire or continue to face is really military operations on that note. um, what implications do you think this this might have overall when we look towards the

conflict in kaiser? well, like i said, uh the how much of these it needs to make a decision now. um, clearly iran has approve the ceasefire between his blog and era. and that means that the kind of support that from us has continuously looked for from its patients in kemp. ron and the route is not forthcoming. and after all of these months of war and all the damage that has been done at the gaza. uh, the leaders for the how much leadership really need to decide whether it wants to continue fighting and continue to suffering in augusta strip, or whether it will sue for a ceasefire. and just wondering about, as you mentioned a ron for example, what leverage they will be able to have because now we've seen a ceasefire with has bola, but it's a whole different ball game. if we were to have one with, with how much i was just wondering what role they would be able to play in this or,

well, the ronnie and leadership would like to fight to the last post and into the last lebanese, on the very fact that these rallies have destroyed much of ron's air defense system and leaves. the iranians, vulnerable to further is really attack, would suggest that the ryans have very little leverage left nor do they have much of any interest in, in a ceasefire. i think that the entire ronnie and strategy, uh, so in k us internet, around the region, but particularly on israel borders have after these 15 months, um that of course, israel has faced its own set backs in terms of its international legitimacy. and in this course, in, in western countries, in the willingness of our countries to contemplate normalization with israel as a result. but overall, is a strategic position is much better than it was even on october 6th,

2023. how mazda has been greatly degraded, his blog is back on its heels, and your ron is vulnerable to the israelis, and that i don't believe getting back directly to your question that the ryans really have much leverage left in this situation. okay, we'll leave it the steven a cook from the council on foreign relations. we appreciate your insights. thank you. thank you. a 2nd look now at some other stories making headlines around the world. russian strike on the ukrainian city of so many has killed at least 2 people. rockets hit a high rise apartment, building officials also said rush out, launch the biggest drone attack of the war sofa present. the landscape says almost $200.00 drones targets had ukraine. but most were shut down. officials investigating a cargo plane crash in lithuania,

society of communist east germany in her book. she describes those origins as former for her political career chapter, the done so i have always drawn my friends from my life in the g d r. i had no other life, i have exploited the strength that was given to me in those 35 years and years for my point to get out of work and not so many plenty to solve. but she describes the resilience of independence, which helped to deal with the dominant male personality she and counted, such as russian president vladimir putin or us president donald trump, whose body language was often dismissive, plus walton, big. what was going to be a girl mystical is becoming john slo information? yeah. many of being a woman as and obviously indian being a woman. many germans now c, mac. oh, is it chance let, who left the country with some of the problems that now faces?

for instance, the 2015 decision to let more than a 1000000 migrant sent to the country. since then the fall right, has searched, does she have regrets? the staff is, i don't blame myself in the sense that they don't saying it was the wrong thing to do at that time to taking these people in and where in europe, standing at the water board there. so i'm to process them according to a work legal system. i'd like to start this as well for them to keep the smile makeovers brush up policy is often blamed for paving the way to more in ukraine. jim and his need for rushing gas, say the critics blowing the touch of contains a lot looking back. how does he see it now? to do this? really? of i think it's okay. it doesn't make any sense now that they simply say, i got everything completely wrong. because i know it's like skates pulling from my eyes. that's not the case in all the next 700 pages of memories without the attempt to reinterpret the past. and cuz i'm actually standing by his decisions

with some tells the story of freedom and the responsibilities that place the filters dw as chief political editor, michelle. the customer was at the event in here, no thoughts. but it's an interesting background and explains policy. but if you are expecting her to really come out with the real gossip or some sucking new facts and that really wouldn't meet your expectations. interesting. the during her popular ones, it was scheduled for 90 minutes. it took 2 hours in the end. she gave out some advice towards the end she actually called for germany's that in ceiling to be listed for investment only. i thought it was highly unusual for her to do so on. she called on europeans to essentially get their act together and decide whether you agree on ukraine. so she did give out some policy advice, something she cassidy avoided doing more than $700.00 pages of her men was full

freedom. i do think that this book changes most about how she will be remembered because indian she comes to the same conclusion. she used to come to when facing criticism during her time and office. she maps out circumstances, but she says she's simply never so an alternative to the actions that she took, and that counts for vasa. what she does accept the criticism, but also stands by not letting ukraine into the positive joining nato. something she felt could have led to an even earlier attack by russia on migration. we spoke about it. this is something where she felt there was no other avenue on the same count. so having, if we're trying to keep the forward a, if the policy see some big steps to the things that are beyond her own control and her actions she keeps insisting what, without alternatives, something that will always stand for her. it's also said just as the how to symbol
