to the world, all too often silence in the face of tragedy. con empire of silence starts february 15th on dw, the business day. the news light from berlin. donald trump faces widespread rejection of his plan to take over the gods of us. presidents, page 2 recently, cousins, and done the strip into the vienna of the middle east is criticized for jeopardizing and the 2 state solution to that he's rarely piloting. and conflict administration officials tend mixed signals as it try to walk back. also coming up as the spot in the democratic republic of the congo appears to have broken down as rebels. take another town the you and estimates almost 3000 people have died in the violence and germany takes part in

a new nato operation in the baltic. see if tom's off to various incidents of diamonds to under see cables suspected as sabotage, the bitterest vanity. welcome donald trump's plan for the us to take over the gaza strip and re separately, palestinians. living in the territory has been widely condemned around the world. the head of the united nations, antonio gutierrez, has warned against what he called ethnic cleansing in. does that in the search for solutions, we must not make the problem worse. if he is vital to stay through to the bedrock of international law, it is essential to avoid any form of ethnic cleansing. so we must be assigned the 2 state solution. drunk made the controversial comments at the white

house press conference with these very prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who later described them as a remarkable idea. you know, tv interview, neighboring states, wealthy states would do it. but the actual idea of allowing for his cousins want to leave the leave. i mean what's wrong with that? they can leave. they can then come back, they can relocate and come back, but you have to rebuild. cause if you want to rebuild because you can't have it, this is the 1st good idea that i've heard. it's a remarkable idea. but in the gaza strip, the plan has to be a good condemnation from palestinian. so liver, who wants to leave it all with land and, and our country we're leaving here despite the destruction. where here most of the most of them are of dying here is better located is better than going anywhere else . no, because you have nothing after losing your land, country and home

a lot of clifton. let's get more from a used to them on who's directed of the middle east. and now the african program at the international crisis group in the, in different capital, cairo used un secretary general antonio good. that is, has warned against ethnic cleansing, but israel's department is to nathan. yeah. jose is, there's nothing wrong with gardens leaving the strip. what's your assessment of this proposal? well, the far from the fact that it's really not implementable, this proposal of the president trumps. and it's, it's also something that is essential being and both of the palestinians in gaza. if you listen to, to guidance and of course they haven't done the total, the public survey, but it's going to go to the i think it's very indicative that the studies and guys do not want to leave their left. and they certainly don't want to be given it so call voluntary choice to, to stay or to leave they, they feel they're,

they're being forced to leave. of course, there's always people who say ok, we kind of present this destruction as you know, as last hope and the possibility of rebuilding. so i want to leave, of course, to our people like us and they should be able to leave at the same time. i think the vast majority is better studious for my experience, whether they be in the gaza or into westbank or anywhere else are refusing to leave their, their lead. and, and so that i think is we haven't seen that a president trump totally ignored donald trump. i talked of up bob and or the sacrament of guidance. but you have the white house press secretary, it does say that the president meant a temporary relocation of a guidance is administration in your view. now trying to rule back on this idea as you, i'll tell you this because there's notion that may be united states and present and trust words which take ownership of the gaza strip, which means a military deployments that is clearly not consistent with any of his views. on the

projection of american military power in the world, he doesn't want to to deploy the american military. so as i think he didn't really think through anything over the start, which is quite consistence with everything we've seen for president trump. in any case, the, you know, it is, it is not going to to, to work. when brings a temporary, also you have to keep in mind. and so we weren't temporary about a student. he is a highly loaded word. they fear that's a temporary permanence. what effect do you think uh this could have on the seas finally goes here. so is it being a mouse and israel or this may or may not affect them because again, the, these are worse. they're very dangerous words, very dangerous rhetoric coming from the white house. but at the same time, i think president, trump is also said that the ceasefire needs to be implemented in its 3 phases as

isn't vision. um, i think how most of these are both for a reason separate from all of this discussion are quite keen to add to it to continue for know when a israel wants to continue your phase want is an open question. and i can say the same thing about how much because it gets to remain hostages are the only leverage is still house and garza and for as well. a permanency so why would maintenance achieving the objectives they set for themselves as well as the author destruction of how about us? so it is an open question whether to cease very well continue, but it's not necessarily related to dislikes, discussion about the what to do with the population of guys. but just back to this proposal, do think that this proposal, this or effectively means that the 2 state solution is now dead. well, arguably introduced a solution has been does for a well, that's called it's uh, maureen buttons. it is, it is on a nice

a on those a yeah, let's do the agent the a to bring it back onto the international render is absolutely critical. and yes, we should be skeptical about what is really achievable at this point. given the extent of the is really supplement enterprise, especially in the west but, but the president trump is done by incurring this kind of a global position. he certainly has done something to reawaken that the, the desire for discussions about the 2 state solution really verify the moment you sent them on from the international law crisis group. thanks so much for joining us . thank you. thank you. so united nations has condemned the recent freeze on us a programs and have gone to something. but it will suspend the services that code, provide a lifeline for women and goes in price is living on the tiny bundle of gun as long

as one of the ws countries in the world for women to give us the un says the slash and us support for result in around 1200 the tunnel deaths and more than a 100000 unintended pregnancies in the next 3 years. they've got also will also with some of the countries hunger crisis. that just isn't to how us president of donald trump responded to a question on aid from an alf gone. john list on wednesday. if you have any plastic chance of getting some situation, i'll be able to pick nice tale because i'm not up to a separate future. okay, i have a little hard time understanding you. where are you from? now actually it's a beautiful voice and a beautiful x at the arrows. the only problem is i can't understand the word you're say, but, but i just say this. a good luck living face. go ahead place. all right,

let's bring in. i mean psycho and what is professor of middle east and central nation and the stomach studies at the australian national university. he's also the author of how to lose of all the story of america's intervention in of kind of stuff. it's just like donald trump, not saying much there, but he suspended the american aid around the was how reliant have gone to sounds totally bond boone as being on foreign aid since they took over the country in 2021 . i would ask and people in general, it should be very much dependent on for an age. and as you know, that says something that took place at 20000000 population of the country has been that very much depended on the outside handouts. but at the same time, the telephone has also taken, it's got to promote it up for need, but she's come really true and, and to do tutoring to button and up an assistant, something look about 40000000 dollars was pulled into the conference. so it's

a ton of on wheel chair and the benefit to this uh, excuse me, mr. group in order to push the push to dad a very medieval as to and indeed to add that instead of and many people to put him on his stomach. but the policies in terms of excluding good people, the woman of gunner son and the other was how the population out of their basic rights, and also being very discriminant. she to us a non portion of the groups and the country i've got a son is a mosaic. the state is composed of numerous at the right, i think and totally different groups. and of course, is a total of one based on each one presenting that particular group. that's that. so say a group coming to our students themselves and who is lucky to feel the effect of the aid caught in a bonus on the most. it will be sees good to be definitely

a population of half against on. uh, but uh, at the same time a, a, the international pressure will have to be really maintained on the colored one so that they do not really benefit from any age which really goes to that. asking people, i think that for a to should be due to pro that but a in ways which to a total of one do not to take a share of that age. and i think what's happened in the past, i mean, despite the efforts of the united nations and also i, the antenna age limit i to actually communicate and agencies telephone has a benefit to, to, for them to a, for an age. and i think that from that point of view, but i think it's important to that, that on the one hand to the american 8 should be the huge it to the people of cancer. but it has to be delivered to, to the people rather than at enabling to pull it up on to, to have a cut for that for themselves. who else can offer a to, to appear on his son of what i mean? yeah, i go to europe in the union, i expect very important,

i think go content. but there's like a lot more aide to, to that a, to ask into son and to do their all and to international agencies. essentially, i'm an attendant agencies involved and i've done this on at the total and have been trying to really limit the activities of these agencies as much as possible. but the cells get a number of them still active and i think it's a good you to put unit content dramatically increase it's shape. and at the same time, so some of that or push out of the states because it increases your contributions. and in the see the change trying to update politics and i've kind of fun in terms of exposing, get one competition suited to that country. i think what they should fairly try to do is just focus more on the humanitarian aid and but at the same time making sure that the pressure is kept up on the other one so that they can keep up. this big stream is to dispositions the day of adopted so far or leave it there for the

moment. i mean, so i've got to move just professor of middle eastern centralization and the stomach started as of yesterday and messaging diversity. thank is a thank you saying about a son of the country has been facing decades of economic crisis, which has been compounded by the power button to turn to power. one of the ways the country has been trying to increase revenues is by mining. it's jim stone and mineral resources. beautiful. now from one mine endorsed in eastern have gone is done where jane extraction is helping the local economy of gone. it's done. it's one of the buddhist countries from the word for the resources to bed across it's rocky landscape. i'd estimated to be worth a trillion dollars resources like these blocks of date, of the workers and machines deployed at this mine in the eastern gosh, that district had been extract,

especially of jim stone. the biggest customer of this minus china with drop shade is exported. hold the successively kick us out around. no technicians, capable of processing change for the international markets while it's sent from here to china, wherever it's protesting to products, the international market. it's used to make jewelry such as bracelets and rings and so on. do related to the bottom of the mileage of what i select from. i think so as the western world got guides, but that the bond they have done to regional countries willing to work with them. china is one of the biggest investor, russian, and a donnie and investors have also signed mining licenses a good semester squarely come. the instructional exploration and processing of minds requires a great deal of financial and technical capacity. the task guns do not have such scales, which is why we want to attract foreign investors because they have the technical experience and financial capacity. and so both of guns and foreign companies

benefit from the dollar. bon estimate that 150000 jobs have been created by the mining sector since 2021. giving employment of guns like these. working in a good smith's workshop in couple of workers here got published an increase the jim stones, the government for some of one of the, you know, who we so ruby's, i, emerald, j, done so on the larger we have different customers that have, like i said, it'd be just the ties, they mainly buy emeralds and rubies bank. and we also have american customers and they play on some of the international customers can be one or $2000.00 a photo stone to me cutting as large amounts for the country. been more than half

doc deigned sweden's history. the police have identified the gunman as a 35 year old swedish man who lived in the city. they say he acted the loan and the nothing. so 5 points to an ideological motive. they believe he kicked himself off to open fire at officers. rushing to the c. d. w correspondent, teddy schultz is in edinburgh. i own the aust. what students and alumni from the school had been telling how to they're having a really hard time dealing with this is all you know. um, so some of them had to shelter in place for hours yesterday. while the gunman roamed around before police evacuated that we spoke with one young woman, a nursing students there at the school, who, who said that she keeps trying to call several of her friends and they aren't picking up the phone. and she said, just really heartbreakingly, you know, i don't know if you know, they lost their phone in the most hopeful scenario, or whether they're in hospital unable to answer or she said,

and this just showed me whether they're still lying there where they fell there in the school so people are saying that, you know, it's just really hard not to have any understanding of why this would happen to them. this school teeters to individuals who are trying to better themselves, learn better swedish get work training to, to uh, you know, further their, their situation here in sweden. so really, the kind of people who are, are really vulnerable and, and very much 1st by this kind of a task. you download the teddy schultz reporting data from at a pro. now, germany is taking part in a new natural operation aimed at increasing surveillance and showing a stronger presence in the baltic sea. it follows increasing incidence of damage to on the sea cables and infrastructure seemed strange throughout history. there have been numerous occasions by telecommunications, electricity, or fewer things have been disrupted to be in sweden, finland estonia. i left via miscellaneous, and germany. du duluth,

june. dudley was on board. the 1st german vessel taking part in the nature operation. as it set off into the baltic sea from the northern german coast, the crew of this german worship are preparing for a new mission. apparently, they're being deployed at short notice as part of the new nato operation called baltic century. for the next 8 weeks, the vessel with its crew of around 60 will petrol, the baltic sea. their aim is with her and confront any threats to critical underwater infrastructure, such as data cables and gas pipelines. are you putting a 300 outside into the deployment zone? i barely able to contribute to the terrans by monitoring the sea area without a sense, as like a radar of optical sense of such as cameras and of cause by dr. laws which are still important. you will observe the merchant ships passed by. we will take

a look at other warship sense, uh, setting around and we will paint a picture of the situation and shed with our allies of phone defendants. if i've been to, the entire mission comes after a series of incidents and recent months, where under c cables were ruptured often after ships such as this one, which we are traveling to or from russia drug there, anchors on the sea bed, some in the region feared the damage could have been caused deliberately, although it has yet to be established, whether these were acts of sabotaged by russia or the result of negligence. but nato countries wants to keep a closer eye on the region, regardless is whether any i wouldn't say the situation is exception to the tense. but we have notice that nate, us ability to respond and the security of the see are out in the board exceed on the front. and that the all repeated incidents where the authorship is not entirely clear, but then you will hear about shop to be exact and discuss clause. this operations

control room is the beating hearts of the ship and of its mission. all the data collected on the market ball surveillance deployment is put together here. it will often districts where the most important very roots run, where the most important traffic junctions are. so that we know the area here on our doorstep and can detect any anomalies or after mileage cutting, pitched income for the countries involved in the operation like germany. knowledge is power. they hope to find out more about what has been taking place in the baltic sea and they believe showing a stronger presence in the region can help prevent further incidents from happening to i'm here as a quick reminder, the 5 top story of this. all right, so i was officials appear to walk back. donald trump's declaration that the us will take over the cousins trip and that kind of thing is living there can be settled elsewhere. trump's team, so his plan to relocate thousands during the construction would only be temporary.

that's it for the moment. coming up next off of the break, it's a focus on europe, which takes a look at ukraine's plunging best rates and asks if the country is losing its future, i'm going to spend a jeep in berlin. thanks so much for watching that back again in about 15 minutes from now. the
