8:01 am
hello and terry martin, thanks for joining us. after day of delay and accusations is real, security cabinet is now expected to meet later to approve a ceasefire deal for garza prime minister. ben, you may not know who says the final details have now been ironed out after earlier claiming that some us had back tracked on parts of the agreement. but it is really national security administer him. i've been to be or has threatened to resign from the coalition government if the deal is approved. the full is really government must agree before the truce can take effect as planned. on sunday. i asked the w, drew some corresponded tony kramer to walk us through the steps now to ratify the deal. the prime minister has announced that he has a cold for,
8:02 am
or the security cabinet, the smaller copy notes to meet on a fridays or later today. i'll be expecting this to me, but then the next step would then be that this deal will be brought to the a wider cabinet in the government, a government here. so it's not yet clear if both of them will meet actually on today on friday before us about starts. have been some indication that this could only happen also on such as denied. i do not have the confirmation for that yet. so i'm coming. the commentators here in the is really me to have question that they said this could be all done today because the results of that would be that actually the, the implementation of the data or the release of the 1st hostages. of those all planned for sunday would then also be delayed. now i understand that the deal does have its opponents in the is really a government. how much leverage do those opponents of the deal have to
8:03 am
me it, it was expected that as opposition to this agreement, but it became a real, you know, i would say political crisis here in the past 24 hours and we heard a d a and that is mainly due to those 2 of the far right ministers, the finance minister, minister bits of this much rich and the minister for national security to him, of ben via know it to my bank via has announced last night that he will resign. if this agreement will be a post and its current form, so he and his section will or certainly be expecting him to resign from the government, but he doesn't have a loan. the numbers in the sense that he will bring down also the government within . so we have to wait what a bit, so let smoke which will do it's expected that they will vote against you, but this do, but the deal itself will still a go ahead. no,
8:04 am
we also know that the opposition parties have already propose to a prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and they've done that again a late last night and said to him, you have a safety net. we need to go ahead or with this deal. so they would be basically stepping in during that time, but also only for the time of this uh, you know, when this deal is being carried out. uh, we have to wait and see if other ministers would be hard to do some one. we could minister with said he might vote against his deal. you know what they are deciding . so this deal, you know, until this quote is passed through a diesel and that is warranty. so as we have to wait and see how this will develop, tanya, thank you. very much for now, our corresponding interest on tonya kramer. i'm assuming the deal goes ahead from us with initially and over 33 hostages in the coming weeks in exchange for israel freeing hundreds of palestinian prisoners. but ahead of the
8:05 am
announcement is real, stepped up arrow strikes in garza, the last run. health ministry says the killed, more than 80 palestinians, mixed feelings among thousands celebrations at the news of a ceasefire. mix to doubt that it will happen and tinge with sadness that everything that has been lost. that trepidation is backed up by events. since the announcement is rarely ash dykes punctured to celebrate to remove taking the lives with them. the deal is supposed to come into force on sunday the on certain days ahead and making some here novice we must remain cautious. we were afraid that could be an even was not boston before i told him anything of it the next few days could be even more difficult than the whole of the
8:06 am
last year. i am in the middle of summer. we just hope the blood should stops by sold others and noticing the positive impact the news has already had on the everyday lives. the price of the sponsored vegetables used to be $30.00 cycles. now it's 5. the ceasefire. news has reduced the price of this bottled oil cost $10.00 cycles. now, it was 30 before we went. cigarette price has to be cheaper to and others as thinking about the future. let them know who we need to start thinking of solutions and enough destruction and was we're exhausted. 15 months of humiliation and living and trying to tens in during this time. i hate them the winter cold, and this the children who died of cold why you're calling about is riley's also appeared to be apprehensive. which the feel like is there is a threat from the from come us like if we just like going to let them guys vega and
8:07 am
there might be doing if there were 7th, again, like knowing that it guarantees differently. i think we, we gonna fall back to a well again, with a was because a citizen was because we've come with some us. i think the agreement is a good agreement. the once we get all the hostages back into the bodies that are being held there captive. but i think that how much that will re online regroup again, as we see in the correlation that they have been some dis, court against disagreement with home us, deceased by a deal is fall from set and. and it seems that few on either side are willing to believe it until they see it offer more and join now by rosaria balden, who works for unicef in gaza. thanks for being with us, rosaria, i understand you're in our milwaukee in the south west of the gaza strip at the moment. what are people in gaza telling you about the ceasefire deal? what are their hopes? what are their expectations to you know,
8:08 am
here in southern guys and all the while i see it, it doesn't really feel or sound like a ceasefire. yet. this morning i woke up to the very strong bodies of drones flying over, so that continues unabated. at 2 nights ago, the news of deal to secure a seized bar or was received from men discharge, just an outpouring of, of joy and tribulation. you know, people are longing for an end to this war. they want to go back to their homes to see what's left of the children. i speak to tell me that they long to sleep in their beds. they want their bed rooms. they want to see what's left of it, and so everyone is, is very desperate and hopeful. but at the same time, the techs continue to be reported. doesn't continue to be to be killed or have been reported killed, including at least 20 children over over the past $24.00 or 48 hours or so.
8:09 am
the international community has promised an aid search integrated. so once the ceasefire is established, there are trucks on their way. what are you expecting in terms of 8 deliveries, assuming the deal is approved? and so that's a very important point because people here in gauze our family suffer not just because of the relentless, a text because of the booms and the bullets, but also because of the other deprivation that they've been living through over the past 15 months. you know, children under their cold stay, they walk around in summer clothes, they don't have proper clothes, their shelters are and protecting them from the cold and the rain that they live in make shift tents. they haven't had a proper meal for well over a year. families live of kent, food and flour. a health care has been decimated. children have been out of school for one year and a half, so the needs are immense. and that's why it's important that age can enter the
8:10 am
gaza strip, but not just age. we also need the commercial sector to be able to bring in supplies. organizations like my own, like unicef, when it comes to things like nutrition, we actually have been bringing in high energy bisque with therapeutics food. so nutritional supplements for children who are most vulnerable children suffering from malnutrition, but ultimately if the private sector could actually bring in supplies at scale, if they could bring in food, dairy products, food vegetables, and large volumes in parallel, that would actually help address one of these very pressing issues of as male nutrition, so it's important that both happens, singleton, usually a surgeon 8, and a search in commercial supplies. but this, these fire by itself isn't the guarantee that that will happen automatically. there's a large range of,
8:11 am
of excess constraints that need to be addressed to the operational environment has to be improved for us to be able to bring aiden, but also want to reach is gone. so for us to distribute it to, to families and meet what is most needed for the children of god. so right now, right now i would say an immediate holt in, in the fighting that sound of, of the drones flying over that has to stop. and children have been exposed to violence for over 15 months. many children have been killed at least 14500 children, a report at killed, at tens of thousands more have been injured some with life changing injuries. i've met quite a few children were sleggs and other limbs have been emptied status of my children, who now are blind as a result of air strikes on their homes. so that has to stop and equally dis,
8:12 am
this would help children or would give children opportunity to recover psychologically because the suffering is not just physical. it's also psychological . children has been exposed to this violence permanently, but they've also been stuck in this cycle of very toxic stress. children are acutely aware that nowhere is safe in gaza. children speak about this. for instance, this child that i met who lost his eyesight, he had to scold fracture in an air strike on his home. i asked what happened to him, and he said there was an air strike. many people were killed and the air strike also killed his icy set. my eyes went to have him. before i did, this was a 5 year old boy who also stayed very severe, burns all over his body. so every single child in guns i today is in need of psycho social supports. they need to be able to get services,
8:13 am
mental health services to process the very traumatic experiences. they've lived in the feelings associated with that. and for that we need the ceasefire to materialize. and for both sides to adhere to it. i know you've been in does a since october of last year. understand resolve the i can't imagine what that must have been like what that's been like for you. can you tell us a little bit about how it's affected you personally to be there during that time? and i'm, it's been a few very tough months in these, especially because since my arrival, despite the interventions that humanitarian actors like unicef, make a times, i couldn't help but, but think that situation was only deteriorating. something that i felt that was really, really difficult, was to speak with children who are visibly in lots of pain. for instance,
8:14 am
i met an 11 year old boy with the leukemia in nasir hospital and con eunice becker . i'm back in october and he was actually to week to, to speak to me. he could barely look me into. i was just laying on on a children's quotes in the children's ward of that hospital and he was whimpering and pain. the hospital wasn't able to give him any treatment he was suffering from leukemia, but was also unable largely to alleviate his, his pain. and the really seeing those children in, in such great suffering is something that is honestly unbearable. these children, they did not start this war and they also don't have the power to, to ended and to, to change anything about their, their situation. so it's been a couple of very, very difficult months. what we see here is honestly undescribable. i came to gaza before the war in a different capacity with the you when and when i entered after the war started,
8:15 am
i couldn't believe my eyes because you enter through this out through kill them shallow. and then you drive through can eunice, and there's just nothing left of the city that used to be fine. eunice, it's just send and, and rubble. it looks like a moon landscape. i've no, no better word to describe it. the scale of the destruction is just unimaginable and families here have lost everything resolved yet. we want to thank you for speaking with us today. that was rosario bolden spokeswoman for unicef speaking to us from casa. thank you for having me. well, the european commission has announced a 120000000 euro aid package for guys in the current year. but when it comes to rebuilding the shattered territory, as we just heard, that's a drop in the bucket. meanwhile, the question of who will govern the gaza strip remains unresolved destruction
8:16 am
everywhere. more than 2 thirds of guns as buildings damaged or destroyed from government offices to houses and beyond. news of the cease fire brought relief in gaza and cautious hope for the 1st phase of the truce. done, i was monday for new because everything behind was destroyed and our future distributor we liked the way to do that. we would have been a new furniture from scratch to an estimated 90 percent of guidance have been displaced during the war. they'll finally be able to start coming home from the 10th cities and open air camps that have housed them. but they faced significant challenges. 2 many apartment blocks had been slammed by as rarely bombs, safe drinking water is in short supply. and most of the infrastructure is in ruins . yeah, the 75 percent of guys as buildings fully are partially destroyed,
8:17 am
you have no economy, no infrastructure, no education, no health care. and so you're going to have a desolate territory with desperate populations that are hanging on by a thread. yes, the absence of war is positive, but with how mass being solely in control is going to be a disaster for the future of the gaza strip. and indeed, the house, any national project to the is really military will leave most of garza for so called buffer zone, about one kilometer wide along the border with israel. the id f will also occupies a strip of land called the nets, are in car door that separates north and south casa, and it will keep control of the philadelphia card or a zone along the border with egypt to deter arms smuggling, humanitarian aid will again, flow into the besieged territory, where international agencies have worn famine and may have taken hold. $600.00 food
8:18 am
trucks are scheduled to deliver 8 every day once the ceasefire takes effect. however, loading of aid as emerged as a major problem. and over the course of the war, israel has imposed inspections on trucks that have slow deliveries. of the 1st steps are supposed to take place in the days and weeks to come. reconstruction will take years or decades. in the territories political future is still unclear. united states has been instrumental in helping to push the gaza ceasefire deal over the line. the agreement has been months in the making the dressing american troops in a farewell speech. on thursday outgoing president, joe biden admitted the road to a deal between israel and whom us had not been easy. meanwhile, incoming present, donald trump to officially takes office on monday, has said the agreement would never have happened without pressure from him and his
8:19 am
teeth. well dw reporting michelle stockman is with us here in the studio for more on the us perspective. michelle, both body and trump are claiming credit for the c spar. what does that say about where the middle east stands in the list of priorities for washington? i think it is front and center for both of these men who have both claimed credit for it. of course, they want this conflict to be over by then he's looking at his legacy and he wants starting into the void of it and kind of the troubled end of his presidency. he wants something going to hang his hat on. trump wants to enter the white house with a big victory and move forward away from this. and if we look at it generously, they're listening to calls from around the world to end the suffering, the death and destruction both of palestinians. and if the is really hostages, if we look at it more cynically,
8:20 am
this conflict has really drag down america's image around the world being tied to israel and the images of the death and destruction out both of these 9. want that to be done. the war and goes, what has been hugely controversial in the us politically, but also socially cultural. culturally they've been massive demonstrate ations, particularly universities in the us, a lot of criticism from different directions. tell us more about that. this has been a contentious issue into the waning hours of biden's presidency for all people involved . and we need to look no further than a few hours ago at the final press conference that anthony blinking held in the state department. and i've asked the control room to run a little bit of tape here. what you're seeing here is an independent journalist sample. see any of heckling by that or sorry, blinking and calling him out for not ending the war. sooner
8:21 am
to clear the quite a scene there. that's right. i mean, he's saying you belong in the hague use and be prosecuted for work crimes. so this issue really came to before back in spring 2024. during the presidential campaign, it was a dominant issue and really to our parts the fabric of american society. in many ways, no. nowhere else really was the epicenter except for columbia university, which is my alma mater, where we had protests from students who were pro palestinian. and there were also jewish, and it's really students who didn't feel safe on campus. and the republicans turned it into kind of a law and order issue. and it's really debatable whether this last the election for both biden and campbell a. here is an error of americans, largely in the state of michigan. decided they were disgusted with the policy the,
8:22 am
the work wouldn't be ended and so turned their votes over to trump. so i'm, well, we'll never know exactly the, if the, by the ministration could have ended the sooner there's kind of alternative reality . we don't know that's up for the story institute of a at this point. michelle, thank you very much. or you are reported michelle stop as well with donald trump only days away from taking his 2nd oath of office. the arctic region has swung into focus. the incoming us president has said he wants to buy the guard again to an island of greenland for national security reasons. but greenland belongs to denmark. and as the w correspondent jack parrot found out in the capital, not many green lenders don't want anything to do with trumps initiative. while others have singled interest, majestic, natural beauty for roach. just the cold,
8:23 am
frequently changing weather. the world's attention has landed here in greenland. off the donald trump repeated his idea that the us, what could buy you the comfort? he even sent his son here for a photo opportunity with locals. but the foreign policy goals of the new us administration can feel distance to the people we spoke to henry new. it's not a contract to people. united states and lots of people to either. so i'm not interested to people, i'm not a house or a purchase. you're concur, i don't know, i'm not sure. uh, i almost don't care. i don't really like this idea as like being part of a like it seems to be part of united states america. so. but like, what i do like is like i like to work with them. i see in greenland amounts and exploration for lithium uranium and other critical materials is ramping out from
8:24 am
says buying greenland is strategic. the us national security against the stride in china and the metal, some russia, those countries are also exploring for resources in the high all tech right now facing makes up over 90 percent of green lands expos. but green ones biggest employ a currently is the government, 43 percent of the population worked for it and doesn't know tell them as territory of the kingdom of denmark. greenland effectively receives just under $1000000000.00 yours per year from the danish government. so trying to say is that when you speak to people here in greenland, i buy it from this idea to buy a country the conversation. inevitably, i'm frankly, swiftly moves on to being about whether green line should be independent from denmark. that's a decades long back to here. it's estimated around 2 thirds of green them does would vote to be fully independent from denmark like m. p to know frank, who's campaigning for an independence referendum by 2030 deed. infuse yes.
8:25 am
typically welcome a visit by the returning president in the white tice. i really hope he will come here and that he will speak directly to our government and not the government in denmark. we are tired of having a middle man and everything. we want our own sovereignty, we want our right to have our saying in foreign politics, our sales, demonic has refused to entertain. the idea of the us taking over the greenland people are asking themselves here whether it's from interest will fade away. as of the global issues on the desk of his presidency. bill american filmmaker david lynch has died at the age of 78, known for his dark and real artistic vision. he earned best directorate oscar nominations for bluebell, the elephant man and the holland. dr. results behind the groundbreaking tv series twin peaks. as from his debut 1977 darkly serial eraser head

8:27 am
films and even television shows were maybe made you feel uncomfortable or hard to watch certain scenes. but they were also hard to forget. he was a surrealistic artist, really. i consider him kind of like the salvador dali, a film here in hollywood, keesha's, remarkable. he's one of those kind of filmmakers, filmmakers, as an artist. and so you just know that when david lynch's behind a project is going to be interesting, it's going to be artistic. and you knew it was going to be great. see, entertainment journalist, j j. matthew was there now for some more upbeat news. the veterinary and stumble was stolen and when the mother dog arrived at his clinic, carrying in her mouth for unconscious puppy which was suffering from hypothermia. the puppy was given adrenalin and warmed with a hair dryer. he is recovering well, we understand and has joined his brother and their mom in the clinic. the vet
