especially in terms of the use of weapons. that's where turns be hearing i'm talking to actually from our shelter right now. so there's been a use of gunfire but also heavy artillery, especially since this morning in the center of po kula, which obviously has in boxes so that you mentioned situations also civilians. we have uh a few uh, health centers that uh we support here and uh, our team uh, surgical team is still in the hospital and has received a number and an incredible member of uh, of when did uh, since uh, a few days an invite to do it yesterday, when to ask you about these images that have been merged um, but these are apparently the 1st images of m 23 rebels, allegedly marching prisoners through the streets of goma. i mean it's,

can you confirm that that is happening me? what? what can you tell us about that? what we, what we can confirm from our shelter right now is that we hear intense fighting. we don't know exactly who is fighting, who? um, what we can here is that there is um, a use of heavy artillery. that is impacting the civil interpolations that you have like active fighting in highly dense areas, policing areas. and this is terrible for the installation. one of our staff has been actually impacted because his house has received a gone this morning. fortunately on no one date of good suspicion is that it's really concerning. what do the m 23 rebels want to mean? have they put forward any demands for a ceasefire? it's not that's all i know. i think um what,

what parties physical takes warranty. some things that is highly political, i certainly is not involved in not any political measures which we want. and this is why we have not as a creative, a sense, a few days is to answer to the maintenance or in a situation which we have done. and, and no electricity, no water in the 1st few days now that we've distributed more than 9500 meters of to, you know, to, to answer to the needs of simulation. especially in terms of what can, yeah, has announced that the presidents in both congo and rwanda will attend an emergency regional somebody in the next 2 days. do you think this meeting will provide some hope? i'm in terms of perhaps ending this violence i'm i'm so sorry. your questions cuts?

oh, yeah, i just, i just wanted to ask you that kenya has announced that the president's of both congo and rwanda will attended emergency regional summit in the next 2 days. do you think that this meeting is going to give people hope that an end to the violence could maybe be achieved? i'll think i think people have hope that this situation can, can improve. and that's uh that would be less impact on their lives, on the lives of people less uh, when the less people separated by their family, i was from their family and in the conflict so that we can only hope for the best. yeah. mary and somebody from the international red cross, we appreciate your time. we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us in what is a very difficult situation. thank you. thank sir to the

european union's top. the diplomats are diplomat rather says that she expects a deal today over easing sanctions on syria. after the ousting of the sod regime, calling you're call us is attending a meeting of e u foreign ministers in brussels, where they're discussing doing just that. many european countries have already begun engaging with the new interim authorities, including reopening embassies in damascus. but so far the eu has been hesitant about lifting of side arrow sanctions until it sees concrete changes inside syria. so well the topic is being discussed in the you for administer is meeting taking place in brussels are correspondent rosie birch arts. she is covering that for us, rosie the you seeking a new approach with the post a sod, syria, at least that's what we're calling it the despite the un. still considering the rebels in power a terrorist group. so what are the latest develop?

so we're expecting to hear a p and you need to make a decision to move forward with suspending using some of the massive functions that were imposed over. i thought you were a violations in serial but were not expect to confront. it's on the other hand, the actual technical details of exactly which sections will be listed when i did manage to get my hands on 8 weeks. diplomatic documents that pointed towards some suggestion of listing sanctions on exports of some high volume fluids like vehicles . reopening some banking relations a and we really think sanctions on syrian airlines to make travel between syria and europe easier, but those details will not be finalized at this 12. and the reason for that really is that there's still some disagreement among you members on just how to engage with those know in power in syria and high speed a to be in terms of suspending. we're leaving these sections. so there are some countries which even before i saw it was i said,

we're ready to start considering normalizing ties with his regime because they wanted to be able to turn down a silent request from series. and basically the question of migration, know we can expect those countries are still pushing to release, such as more quickly. on the other hand, we have a large group of e u member states and say, let's take a more gradual approach. let's make our conditions clear, but the rights of women about the rights of minorities, and they're also facing for assistance. they haven't put in place. clear benchmarks for those know in power and say we get in terms of what they need to do to get which sanctions released, the foreign ministers we understand. they're also talking about the broader middle east, particularly gauze and the palestinians and how that impacts you. us relations you as president trump recently made some remarks about gaza saying that the strip of should be cleared to facilitate rebuilding. how did that resonates with the leaders? i would say it hasn't gone down particularly well. i've spoken to

a couple of ministers here at these talks. i heard the irish for administer, for example, say well, it's important that the trump administration, he understood help, negotiate a ceasefire deal for gospel, which included the return of gauze. and therefore he said it's important that there is consistency. i think that was quite a diplomatic way of criticizing president trump, or perhaps a veiled criticism. and i also spoke to the, the quality commissioner, who said, look, there are you and resolutions about territorial integrity, which need to be respected here. and that's my response when, when i say that question to her. so some fails criticism, but we definitely haven't seen is the kind of really start purchase. and we saw, for example, from some arab states, likening these comments from president trump to the goal for ethnic cleansing, that is not be the case here. in general, e leaders are being very cautious in house. why didn't they are in the criticism of president trump? one diplomat said to me before these talk, we need to keep the cool head. know everything us president safe and an interviewer in the press conference really translates into actual policies. let me ask you

quickly about russia's war on you. crated. sounds like hungary is expected to finally agree to extending e u sanctions on russia. is this a case of better late than never? yeah, well we're with kind of getting down to the wire here in the sections on things like oil and things like coal from russia over its full scale invasion of ukraine were set to expire at the end of this month. hungry had been blocking them out. in this case, we think the bones that it was picking with new crate and course on greece. historically, a critic of e sanctions over russia was about gas transit from russia to ukraine. there seems to have been a compromise deal here to try and get this over the light. but the bigger context, we really think was hungry, waiting to hear what the trump administration was going to say. and after the, the, it seemed to become clear they would push for more saxophone, russia hungry, looked a bit alone on the world stage, and his note seems to have a great a or of course the rosy virtual with the ladies from brussels, rosie, as always,

thank you all right, let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines. this our columbia as foreign minister says that the country will accept citizens deported from the united states, claiming they have quote, overcome the impasse with the us government. the dealer avoids the potential trade more you as president donald trump at earlier threatened punitive sanctions against colombia or after columbia refused to accept military planes, carry the party. sweden has detained a multi flag vessel in the baltic sea in connection with a damaged under water table. and the majority say they've watched an investigation into suspected sabotage after an underwater fiber optics cable connecting sweden with lot b. a was damaged earlier on sunday. a ceremony marching the 80th anniversary of the liberation of al should it is under way nazi.
