the 10s of thousands of sausage streaming home is a ceasefire between israel and has belong to the cold leaders around the world. have 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 released. 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 direct me involved. i knew 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 or 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 this of what some of the amounts to cease fire at 4 or 410 i was on the road toward my home in america. 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, or the supporters of hezbollah handed out and waved flags at the militants. despite the heavy losses in 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, mixed 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 victory. the is 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 from 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 army is moving to the south to take

all the position in this buffer zone between the leak on the 3rd and the blue line . and then we're going to see gradually withdrawal of the. so any forces over the next 60 days. and then at the same time would throw a, has a bottle of horses and weapons. so and then you, one of the, has been the mentality 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 are going to see a lot of challenges to this deal, but i think 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 to another 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? well again, it goes to the implementation phase and the next 60 days. and i mean,

the challenge for is, well, is that it's relatively back to cool, wins that have, it has secured over the last 2 or 3 months, i guess because my law and you know, they need to translate them into some kind of a political setting. because the military option was not, did not succeed in achieving that objective of pretty tuning that display citizens to the no and for has been the i think they have to be the challenges having to do with the cost to take that leadership and especially the needs and the construction, but it's also a challenge, but then it needs government. the majority of people have been displaced to from the south, from the north east from so the suburbs are made on hardcore to supporters of hezbollah 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 database, the government does not have the resources for the build. it has been suffering from a major economic crisis for the last 5 years. and people have no savings to the built on that on. 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 the 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 block, and iran use this pulls to regroup as well. i mean, i think the main, the main reason for this the 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 um security goes to the solution. 17. 0,

one was fast to and that floor to be 2 inches by 11 and uh in 2006. we are competing the same situation here. is there any push for this? and this is an important because in my opinion, the major issue is exemption of the ottoman and needing to replenish as well. we also need to replenish, while we need to the cost that you would that need to ship, that command structure, military and political has pretty much wiped out by assessing 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 depends on the lebanese government,

because it depends available. he's on 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, since 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 the representative of his bella 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? are definitely, it's a moment of opportunity, 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 the game 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 we're add to, you know, for its own security. i think now this is the 2nd opportunity facing the country for the state 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 they were images that went around the world on january the 8th, 2023 supports as a result 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 enough to do that. the silver, who defeated both and all wrote 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 to add 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 off to the electoral defeat. police also claimed the 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 state you to we have a retired general and half a dozen offices. what they are saying is upset that has never been any tool cause 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 spare hills president alluded to. silver spoke publicly about the alleged crew and attempt on his life for the 1st time last week. there were them to

my good. i'm someone who has a lot to be thankful for it because i'm a live here. the attempt to poison myself and the vice president didn't work out. ok, and we are here for the i'd like to say something important or you told me, but i wonder you remember that when i was running in the elections by side then one of my wishes and i was to bring brazil back to normality. go to my be back to democratic civil activities that they will correct. 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? 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 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 installed a 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 lucy, nephew, a little of the silvers, you know, gratian and can you tell us a bit more about the alleged plot to assassinate president loose unnecessarily 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

is 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, massa coming. what could the legal up shelter for both scenario and 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 is from a package ation. you can toss the investigation completely. so that's the 1st thing that we don't know. so i've, i've, you know, seeing different analyses of these, but that full sonata, himself, he could be facing at least 11 years, jail time, perhaps up to 15 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 violence. limitation 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 to the soul. the playing here in his is he less injustice take? it's cool?

are 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, you know, it's booking cheerleader, even of this investigation. it could, you have the impression that you were somehow putting his time on the scale and, and that would, would undermine the entire process. so he's really keeping, keeping, doing self and, and with regards to this and with regards to the investigation and letting justice run its course. of course he's made comments about most denado. it says rival with someone who 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 conceded his election 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 or certainly he and his allies were, 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 as a, as a model or some examples of the fact that we 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 course that happened last year, early last year. sorry. 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 is on 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 a. you know, investigation taken over him and was elected before really they they, you know, they came to an end. both sonata has already been ruled ineligible. right? david villa from the association press news agency. thank you so much for those insights. as the russia says, it is expelling to german gen lists the foreign ministry, set of correspondent unencumbered mind working in the moscow bureau of germany's public network. the 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 governmental source, ease against russian, john lists. berlin rejects those claims as false in natalia small length of the 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 of the got initially was from tell one, they say that they are bureau has been shut down and their quotes have been expelled. which is not entirely true because the german authorities denying it somewhere you the harvest as if it were deletion, move and were all were there also, they would like to give the expectations to do different german correspondence. when the russian come 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 expel russian journalist from germany. and on the basis of originally speaking, 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 swipe, which is the local government in berlin, responsible for not the federal one. okay. you yourself. well 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? well, for ask him as big as chocolate wasn't very frustrating because, you know, initially were not punished or close for our work, but water as a political move from kind of, as again this teach for tax move. because the r t a gemini, was banned from a licensing care from broadcasting initially, but not, not the course. one is we're not been from working here. so it was also not very balanced. 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 at anymore. 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 experience. 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 in wash it because it's, it's crucial for the international audiences, obviously beat in washington english one and other languages. of course, we still have, you know, some sources there. we still get information, for instance, from colleagues to still have a quotation verified with our d like other 4. and 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, because i mean, obviously they're all 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 in march 2022, several laws were passed but made a work of journalists and foreign correspondent, they're extremely difficult even before it was hard to obtain that connotation and

all the foreign correspondents must have this official equitation administered for the 1st to work. and then you know this, the laws that came into effect, 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 offer. journalists are often also targets the, you know, just look at, there was in the case of evan jessica, which will 3 general course, one who was working there on the actual quotation and was nevertheless detained. and, you know, released in the recent business. your tale as much smell in so the, from the w russian to tell you. 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 to retain the living memory. my guess is week was sentenced to 25 years in jail of criticizing the war and you crying. so it was released this year and the largest west prison as well. the term was the means left and none of these ideas in about the future complex next on d, w. from palm trees to how to space

the international space industry or run for them money that produce the usable rockets and solving the coffee, former students the made in germany in 60 minutes on d. w. the is increasing every, any watching on like blackberries, holiday destination drowning in plastic white at the cost every year of exploits over $1000000.00 tons of plastic. why

is there another way officer ruled the environment is not responsible. make up your own mind, dw, made for minds. there's plenty of evidence for questioning. the government in russia is more dangerous of its being a 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 christmas watch since the cold war. he's that he may have come with us 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 a r k for leisure and repressive one manual sore chair and dictatorship science

dictatorship. examples in the future of the last.
