and has the last cold leaders around the world has welcome the truce also more than a year slicing and thousands dead, many all hoping that this temporary ceasefire could become permanent. i knew coupes mckinnon, and this is the day the today i have some good news report from the least. it's an indescribable feeling. the fighting across the web at a rally border will and will and to nice and overall, who are feeling scared more than you can imagine. thank god. what happened to it happened? this of we hope that the enemies understand that the with serious and we want to live here and fees, we will respond forcefully to any violation. i do hope i do hope

we must own hope that the courts also coming up was brazil's fall in the president, part of the crew plots police knowledge, enjoyable sanara was directly involved. i'm new of a plan to kill his successor, but he still wants to run again. i apologise. some say my mistake was to play fast in a country with too many things i had done, but it was worth it all up and then we'll be back in 2026. welcome the ceasefire agreement between israel and the pro rainy and has blown militia and 11 non has now taken effect. the 1st stage of the deal has both sides withdrawing from the border area. the lebanese army and an existing un peacekeeping force will patrol the buses. i, the is ready military has imposed

a night time cuff, you in southern lebanon, warning people not to return to areas where is there any troops all still present, but earlier, thousands of displaced. people shrugged off similar warnings to begin returning home for a moment to celebrate presidents of south lebanon, displaced by the war, ignored warnings to stay away until the, as really military had fully retreated. they were desperate to return to their homes. the artillery missiles and guns for now had stopped a denies of all who are feeling scared of more than you can imagine. thank god. what happened to that happened? less of a must be amounts to cease fire at 4 or 410 i was on the road toward my home in mara k. it's an indescribable feeling the sort of thing. it's got to be a fine. we are here to see what's left of our home business, our home,

where the supporters of hezbollah handed out and waved flags at the militants. despite the heavy losses and the depths of so many top hezbollah commanders, they vowed not to give up. and god willing wherever victoria is always, we're going to be a fork in the eye of the enemy, such as talk in southern lebanon mix displaced residents of northern israel, also returning to their homes. less than confident about the cease fire much. and what i do know is that the fight will be renewed some time and it doesn't matter whether it's in 2 months or 2 years or 5. and d d is really military says it will remain primed to strike again. should hezbollah violate the cease fire deal? prime minister benjamin netanyahu reminded his realize that while hostilities in lebanon had stopped the war and gaza continues. as soon as we are changing the face of the middle east, with god's help, we will establish security. we will rehabilitate the north and we will continue

united until victory and it's a whole of victory because really government has said repeatedly is tied to the destruction of hum us. and while the ceasefire is good news for 11 and the question of how to end the war in gaza, remains around the slim is a senior fellow at the middle east institute. she specializes in dialogue and post conflict piece building, and she's joining us tonight from dyson, ohio welcome. we are a day into the ceasefire unless any civilians are returning home. does it look like there are grounds for optimism here? the agreement has a lot of in here and let abilities as going to face many challenges, especially in this 1st 10 days. as the menus are me, is moving to the south to take all the position in this buffer zone between the leak on it occurred and the blue line. and then we're going to see you gradually

withdrawal of the so in the forces over the next 60 days. and then at the same time with throwing up has a bottle of forces and the weapons. so then you, one of the, has been the problem and petty and said we don't have weapons in that area and we don't have fighters, we have people who belong to those villages. and so you're going to see a lot of challenges to this deal. but i think what, what spin stands is that both sides is there and, and has beloved as well as, of course, the government will step in and need the deep and one of the deep. and if it was not the case, we would not have had the agreement. so would you say that the ceasefire deal has the potential to become something more permanent? and do you think israel and hezbollah already for that as well? again, it goes to the implementation phase and the next 60 days. and i mean the challenge

for israel is that it's relatively tactical. wins that have it has secured over the last 2 or 3 months, i guess because by law, you know, they need to translate them into some kind of politic and set them because the military option was not, did not succeed in achieving that objective of pretty tuning that display citizens to the north and for it has been a lot i think they have to be challenges having to do with the cost of treating their leadership and especially the needs and the construction. but it's also a challenge for the needs government. the majority of people have been displaced to from the south, from the north east, from southern suburbs and made od hardcore to supporters of his butler and, and you have whole areas in those, in those, in those 3 particular parts of lebanon that have been decimated. and, and the lebanese based government does not have the resources for the bill. it has

been suffering from a major economic crisis for the last 5 years. and people have no savings to be built on their own. and so the question is going to be implementation of the dean and the child and how to deal with the challenges, especially by the nations, by either party or deed. and then more importantly, the next phase, which is the construction and these efforts. benjamin netanyahu made very clear last night that the sci fi is a challenge to israel, to rest, to replenish it's all me, to deal with iran will, has blah, and iran use this pools to regroup as well. i mean, i think the main, the main reason for mr. nothing. yeah. who to go for this deal and, and it has to be set that is there and is the one that pushed for the z a at the same by the way in 2006, when 17. 0 one security goes to the solution. 17. 0, one was fast to and that's for the 2 inches by 11 and 2006. we are competing the

same situation here is a push for this and, and, and partly because, in my opinion, the major issue is exhaustion of the ottoman and needing to replenish his butler. we also need to replenish, while we need to do cost that you would that need to ship, that command structure, military and political has pretty much wiped out by assess the nations by these pages, by all this, you know, campaign that has that israel has, has mounted against them for the last. so since october, 8th of last year, you mentioned 11 on government. how much does the ceasefire depend on the 1111 on the government and is it functional enough to help hold this together? i mean, that hasn't been a president for more than 2 years. how's the, it it depends on the lebanese government, because it depends available. he's ordered me to come in and there are

responsibilities to money to a to, to basically, you know, a monitor this, this buffer zone to make sure that no other secure bullet force has. i'm no longer operation is there. so it and, and the bins arm you can not deploy these kind of forces cannot engine, you know, engage in these kind of, of, of what i assume of these responsibilities without a political consensus at the level of the, of the government. that is, it can take a government that has signed off on the do you have the speaker of the parliament was anointed as that it presented tip of his beloved in the english station, the mediated by the night states who also has signed off on the do you going forward? i think the political part alice's in, in lebanon, needs to be stuck in order to proceed filled word with the implementation of the dean, safeguarding the dean in the last to the point. unfortunately, they leave and the deconstruction efforts and it starts with the election. okay,

president, as you put it, there hasn't been a precedent for more than 2 years now. and the formation of a new cabinet that will be responsible for overseeing this reconstruction effort going forward. and putting the company on the pass of economically company. we're going to take a quick listen to what the us on boy almost hochstein said last night, and we'll come right back to you. this is a moment of opportunity for 11 on to reassert its sovereignty across its all of its territory. and i truly hope that this is not just another end of a cycle of violence, but it's the end period of all the violets for many, many decades. a moment of opportunity for 11 on which would you agree with that? a definitely, it's a moment of opportunity to, you know, they have submitted opportunity in 2000 when israel and decide to, to withdraw all you need. that's what i need from this southern lebanon,

which it has applied for since 1985. and then that will put you into was missed primarily because of the cdn government, the city of a team that was pretty much in control of the politics of the country. at the time, wanted to keep his bottle arms and wanted to keep his bottle as, as in detroit and to is or add to, you know, for its own security. i think now this is the 2nd opportunity facing the country for the states institution to the search control over the use of wireless over the means of power over the means, you know, over arms over the borders over the airport, over to the ports. and i hope that they will not miss it because i don't think this opportunity will repeat itself again. rhonda slim senior fellow at the middle east institution. thank you so much for your time and for your insights. thank you very much. i as the they

were images that went around the world on january the 8th 2023 supports as of brazil's fall right, president julia both familiarize around sucked parliament, the supreme court and the presidential palace. it happened a week off to the new duration of louisa, and i still do that. the silver who defeated both scenario and presidential elections, the west said, were free and fast. the bolts and all row claims the vote is riggs and has never accepted the results. and when the report released by present in police claims that both scenario plus it occurred to over time, the election results, he allegedly called amazing with top military officials in december 2022 and then presented them with plans for co. he asked them to join him, but while the navy agreed, the army and the air force declined, and so it never went ahead. the police report says that both scenario actively participated in the creation of the crew plan being directly involved in the

drafting of documents and strategies to remain in power even of to the electoral defeat. police also claimed that both scenario had full knowledge of a plan to assassinate president elect lula and his running mate. brazil's chief prosecution must now decide whether to press charges against the former president, and his alleged co conspirators opened all ro has denied any wrong doing. the soldier warping to get by them. no one is going to stage a coup with a retired general and half a dozen officers. what they are saying is up. i said, that has never been any talk of increase on my side. told it was all over the world who has never been in my dictionary yet since i took office in 2019, i have been accused of wanting to stage of to well, what's the specialist president needed? a silva spoke publicly about the alleged crew and attempt on his life for the 1st time last week. there what i'm to my ok. i'm someone who has

a lot to be thankful for because i'm a life i hear you. i the attempt to poison myself and the vice president didn't work out. ok, and then we are here. and what i'd like to say something important for you to remember that you remember that when i was running in the elections by side, then one of my wishes was to bring brazil back to normality. go to my be back to democratic sybil activities that they won't connect. okay. david miller is the presented use are accessed with the associated press news agency and he's joining us now from rio de janeiro. thanks so much for your time. both nora was formally accused last week. now the federal police report into the coupla has been unsealed . can you tell us more about the claims? all right, so this is a really important development. this document was, was sent by police to the supreme court. we didn't have access to it. now we do. it's 884 pages long. and it details, you know, a litany of,

of suppose in crimes committed. but most crucially, it shows for the 1st time accusations that also nato himself actively participated in this opposing group. what plan and participated previously. it wasn't exactly clear how aware he was, or what least were alleging that he knew now in, in the documents. crucially, it shows him reading a decree to a meeting with the 3 commanders of a different armed forces divisions and trying to get them to sign on to back this degree, which would have suspended the top electoral court and install the sort of crisis committee to investigate the the, you know, claims or, or, you know, suppose it, the occurrences of electoral fraud and crimes that occurred during the campaign. he never did sign this decree and police say the reason he did not was because particularly the armies commander at the time did not back this plan and said he would not sign on to anything that stopped releasing nephew

a little that i feel there's another issue and can you tell us a bit more about the alleged plot to assassinate president loose unnecessarily let the silver and his vice president? all right, so it's worth clarifying that this, this coupon had multiple prongs, this is a separate one and it's smaller, at least in terms of the sort of a number of people who were allegedly involved. and it is one or sorry, it is 3 members of the special forces or retired members and a retired general as little as a 5th person who's a police officer. and they were accused separately of a flooding to kill and lula and his vice president elect general to elkin, and also either kill or kidnapped supreme court justice alejandro each. and what i was overseeing a lot of these investigations now that are targeting bull sonata and it's really

been a target for both sonata was iris, as well as that of his is orders. and they did not apparently take any steps to actually put it in motion the assassination of lula or, or i'll come in, but they were actively monitoring and following a supreme court justice team would ice. and that's one thing that, that, you know, legal experts will, will, you know, debate about is whether or not this is plan was actually moving forward. or if it was sort of a wait and see. but certainly there were, there were movements to, to at least go after the more ice it sounds, procedure, mass say coming, what could the legal up shots, the bolton r o in his alleged co conspirators they, i mean, are they looking at some, potentially serious del time here it remains to be seen and 1st of all the, the, the accusations have been sent to the prosecutor general. he will decide whether or

not to file charges or not. you could file some of the charges that are included in this lease, as from a calculation. you can toss the investigation completely. so that's the 1st thing that we don't know. but i've, i've, you know, seeing different analyses of these, but that full sonata himself, you could be facing at least 11 years, jail time, perhaps up to 15. and or, or even more, it's sort of depends. he's ti himself. and many of his co conspirators were alleged co conspirators are accused of violent elimination of the rule of law staging a crew and criminal organization. so it depends which of those 3 or if all 3 of those are, are filed as, as charges and, and how many of the stick and we just have to wait and see what role is presently the. so the playing here in his is he less injustice take? it's cool. totally. he is not involved or not even commenting on the investigation

. he's standing by and i think no, it is obviously not saying this directly, but i think he knows very clearly that where he to be and i was booking cheerleader, even of this investigation. it could, you have the impression that you were somehow putting his stuff on the scale and, and that would, would undermine the entire process. so he's really keeping, keeping, doing self and in regards to this and um, with regard to the investigation and letting justice run its course, of course he's made comments about bull sonata. it says rival with someone who to these uh, but it has with the say, the least over the last few years. but he's, he's not speaking about the investigation. so both scenario never can see that his electron loss. he's accused of staging, a coo, as we've been saying faces, legal jeff is a but he still wants to run again. the power level to see, to donald trump in the us of striking is both scenario hoping for a similar outcome. do you think?

certainly he and his allies were hardened by the us election result and, and expect, or hope that the trump administration could use its influence to try to help both scenarios case. and they see also it's a is a model as an example for the fact that no, don't, don't count him out in that sense. but aside from all of these criminal investigations on it's, it's worth noting that both denado has already been ruled ineligible until 2030 by the top electoral court. that happened last year, early last year started earlier this year. as a result of a ruling that he abused his power, particularly when calling and bassett, or as to the, to a government building to present his claims as an and founded claims that the electronic voting system was unreliable. so he's already been ruled ineligible until 2030, i mean,

he cannot running 2026. and obviously they're hoping for some sort of of a reversal there. but this isn't the same as trump, for example, where you had this cloud of criminal uh, you know, investigations hanging over him and was elected before really they, they, you know, they came to an end. bull sonata has already been ruled ineligible. right? they villa from the association press news agency. thank you so much for those insights of the russia says it is expelling to german gen lists. the foreign ministry set a correspondent on a camera man working in the moscow bureau of germany's public network. the a id will be ordered to leave the country russian foreign ministry spokesman. maria is a however, said the expulsions. well in response to similar moves by gem and authorities against russian generalist berlin rejects those claims as false. natalia,

a small length of us from the w russian joins me here in the studio and can tell us more. welcome natalia. so 1st of all, what else has the kremlin said about this decision? so 1st of all, the information we got uh, initially was from 10 o one. they say that their bureau has been shut down and their quotes have been expelled, which is not entirely true because the agenda and so we're just denying it somewhere . yeah, the house says it's relations and were all were there also? um they would like to give the expectations to do different german correspondence when the russian calling to price will have this pain like she had as her claims. well now the german side says it's not entirely true because they did not close the bureau, and they also didn't expound russian journalists from germany and on the base of originals took work. one that a representative of the german government told today on the press conference and that he said that he can only assume that it's related to the question to

president's wife, which is the local government in berlin, responsible for not the federal one. okay, you yourself, what in moscow? early in february 2022, when you that was when the w was ordered by russia to close its bureau that tell us a little bit about that what, what was it like? how, how did it, how did it happen over ask him as big as chocolate wasn't very frustrating because, you know, initially were not punished or close for our work. but the water as a political move from kind of, as, again this teach for tat move. because the r t a gemini, was about and from licensing care from broadcasting initially, but not, not the correspondence for not been from working here. so it was also not very balance. and that sounds. so for us it came as a big surprise. and you know, we were frustrated on this friday morning when we realized we couldn't work any more. of course we didn't have to leave the country immediately, but it was like very, very tough to day. so i can only imagine what our colleagues from i are, they are not experiencing. and what is it possible to report on russia without

actually having correspondence that tell us a bit about your experience? it is of course more difficult without being on the ground, but we're continuing to report on what's happening a washer because it's, it's crucial for the international audience is obviously beat in washington in english, one other languages. of course, we still have, you know, some sources there were still get information, for instance, from colleagues was to have a creation. they're likely our d like other form course one is still working there, but the excess is, of course more limited and we're always more dangerous to the journalistic work in russia every day. that's right, there's, i mean, obviously there are still journalists working that, i mean, what, tell us a bit more about the situation for them most is by what like on a daily basis. so since the full scale invasion, you know, in the 1st even days of fi um february and march 2022, several laws were passed but made a work of a journal. listen for an correspond that they're extremely difficult even before it was hard to obtain the equitation and all the foreign correspondent must have this official equitation administered for the 1st to work. and then you know, this,

the laws that came to affect, you know, that without fake news or about that we're pushing on the war, i'm making the work really, really dangerous, and really limiting it more often, journalists are often also targets. uh, you know, just look into a recent case of evan gosh to which will street journal correspond, wasn't working there on the actual quotation, and was nevertheless detained. and you know, released in the recent business, you're totally as much smullen. so the from dw russian natalia. thank you so much. thank you. and that is the show for today from the entire team here. thanks for watching and have a great day the

into the conflicts with tim sebastian questioning the government in russia is more dangerous. so the premium living memory, my guess is week, was centers for 25 years in jail of criticizing the war and you crying for it was released this year and the largest west christmas time was up and he's lost none of these ideas and about the future complex next on d w. they want to stop the construction of a wood pulp factory to them connect to another. yeah. could as more guns and

organic sama on a credit or the project is meant to bring new jobs to the region of the least. yeah . it's supposed to be sustainable and future oriented. but these women are convinced it's not true. focused on europe. in 60 minutes on dw, the dream was within reach. she'd become a star in turkey overnight. then a man took everything from her. with the help of his family and music, she rebuilt and then her sister also became a family scholar by hatred and mother and the daughters i in room to look for change. i will sing my song. maybe my voice will be heard

seeking justice for the victims of genocide this week on d. w. the, there's plenty of evidence for questioning the government in russia is more dangerous of its pain in living memory. my guess this week was sentenced to 25 years in jail for criticizing the war and ukraine for it was released this year and the largest east, west prison swap since the cold war. he's that he may have car loans and he's lost . none of these idealism for optimism about the future, despite all evidence to the country, this british russian national insistence one day russia will become a multi free european country. and the future does not belong to our kids for leisure and repressed.
