savings, we fearlessly deliver. no, just the next day that every day, thousands of children are still waiting for that in the sponsor of books today. so together, we can deliver futures the . this is due to be news live from berlin, united states and ukraine, reportedly agree on the details of a crucial minerals deal source instead of washington. and keith could sign the agreement as early as friday, ukraine's president for a lot of minutes. lensky hoping it will keep us military support to his nation flowing. also on our show, israel's expanding military operations in the occupied westbank, sending tanks into the territory for the 1st time in decades. this place pallets, palestinians are wondering if they'll ever return to their homes. the

i'm so you can do the invalid. welcome to our show. ukrainian officials they keep in washington have agreed to the terms of a draft and minerals and resources deal. the agreement could be signed as early as friday, with plans for ukrainian president flooded mental lensky to travel to the us to meet with donald trump. us present it has been demanding that ukraine give it access to its rare earth minerals. what trump calls compensation for more time aid provided by the us. under his predecessor job, i $1000000000.00 united us president trump said the deal would save us recuperate some of its costs. so what we're doing is now we're saying, look, we want to be secured. we want to get that money back. we're helping the country through a very, very big problem. a problem like very few people have had, shouldn't have had this problem because it shouldn't have happened. but it did

happen. so we have to straighten it out. but the american taxpayer now is going to get that money back. plus the meanwhile that you use foreign policy chief kaya call us is also traveling to the us to discuss the prospective ends of the war and ukraine with us secretary of state park. rubio from united. revisit comes after french present amount of on the call and met trump on monday. relations between the us and europe are growing increasingly strange as washington and moscow appear to grow closer. speaking to journalist, the head of a trip call, us insisted that europe and ukraine must be involved in forging any peace with russia. you can discuss. so whatever you want to, with the, with food thing, but the, if it comes to europe for ukraine, and then ukraine and europe also have to agree to the 1st that has to be peace and so far of routine advice. it does not want. we asked you to be corresponded, terry schultz and brussels. what we could expect from causes visit you us as well

as your foreign policy. she's kind of call us is not one to remain silent. if she disagrees with what's being said, she's a former student in prime minister, add an extraordinarily strong supporter of ukraine. you saw her there wearing yellow and blue yesterday at the anniversary of the start of the war. so i would expect that she herself is stealing her nerves for these meetings, because if secretary of state marco rubio repeats, things that president trump has said like ukraine started this war or that it doesn't believe russia needs to give up anything. and any eventful piece talks or the lensky is a dictator. i mean, she actually addressed that yesterday and said she thought president trump got confused between zelinski and pollutants when he made those remarks. so we couldn't be in for another engagement like we saw yesterday with president mclaren when he corrected president trump, that the you does not expect to be repaid for all is a to ukraine. so i think we'll all be watching this very carefully and expecting,

call us to make a very strong case that europe and ukraine must be involved in any negotiation at the same time saying it's too early to talk about such things when putting this still, bombing ukraine that even increasing rates a terry show. so in brussels, this is really military has expanded its raids in the occupied westbank, sending tanks into the territory for the 1st time. and over 2 decades, tens of thousands of palestinians had been forced to leave their homes in jeanine and nearby cities. and there was unclear when they would be able to return. if at all, many homes have been bulldozed by these really military. and these really defense minister has ordered troops to prepare for a long term stay. is there any tang sorted wanting into the occupied best bang for the 1st time in over 20 years. is roy and has ordered the army to target palistine in, but it's in groups indeed, refugee camps of the not invest bank. victoria shut off in 5 years. we are

operating in refugee camps in geneva into caught him in new asylums, in order to ensure that what happened will not repeat itself. we will continue to operate in any refugee camp and in any other place in the west bank where tara raises its head. we will overcome the extreme is, is the most terror of the palestinian terror organizations and of those who support them by the idea of began new to celebration last month, after reaching us the site agreement didn't cause a up to 15 months so far. at least 20000 palestinians have left their homes and janine in the nearby city of to cut in the northern best bank. also it's a dangerous situation. when the israeli army storms the area we have to flee, looking according to the world health organization,

at least $82.00 palestinians were killed in the best bang during the 1st 6 weeks of this year of the dw, to express deep concerns or the violence and the impact of increasing tax on health care facilities received the current platform so full of violence. we should have seen that tax on the houses in between. this is a 2023 star player rising in the west side. so another 13. so how's the tax is october 2020. so 344 house. it's a tax document just now westbank between the 1st of january and for a single january has, is riley forces demolish houses and infrastructure. indeed genuine refugee camp. many palestinians via these tactics of aimed at them and into displacing the

population. earlier i spoke with law professor michael link, who served as a former, you in special rupture on the situation of human rights in the occupied palestinian territories. he told us more about the current situation in the west bank and israel's operations against milton groups there as well. they've been around for some time there growing a numbers in parts of the large part because there was a growing political vacuum in the west bank. the whole rational and death of a palestinian authority was to lead the post indians to a self determination and a palestinian state. today we are further away from a genuine cost and in state in a 2 state solution than ever. and it has the confidence in the political leadership of the policy. and so what do you want is of collapsing in the west bank? you have this growing vacuum which is being filled by young militants. c, likely no other choice of the take up arms which and which are fairly plentiful in

the west bank against these really occupation. remember, we're dealing with a 57 year old of israeli occupation, that is the longest in the modern world, and it shows no signs of ending israel. these really connected us, so there's going to be no palestinian state that's emerging. so you see the kind of dashing of hopes that the power studies would finally be em and be rid of the occupation. this is what the wants of getting if you like political oxygen to these young mills in groups. we know that you and experts have one that israel's carrying out tactics employed in gaza. now in the occupied westbank. could you tell us what is meant by that? as well, we've seen for the 1st time the use of airplanes are firing missiles into the crowded refugee camps, particularly in the north of the west bank. as your correspondent mention in the told carol north shelves of janine caps, we have over 40000 palestinians. we've been displaced, whose homes have been destroyed as well. we're seeing the wreckage of the water. so

we fines and electricity lines, which are meant to be the essentials for life in these camps. these $40000.00 posts, and these are going to be go on, at least according to the, for an defense minister for 4 months at a time. and we don't know they're ever going to be able to return to their homes in these camps. so we're beginning to see if you'd like because the position we can use that term of the west bank with these really military turning its attention to rudy. note these a, these young militants, which i suspect will be a hopeless cause for these rarely military. some observers say that now with the trump administration in place, the is really government is more open than ever about plants to annex the westbank . is that what we're seeing is the beginning of such an operation? yes, i mean i, i think we're definitely headed on that path. obviously there was the opening with respect to possibly displacing the 2 point. $2000000.00 palestinians from gaza and

opening up the repair riviera of a middle east. that idea seems to have died with the opposition being expressed by egypt and by jordan, that i suspect what donald trump was willing to give if you like, as a consul patient prize to these really government is to allow them directly expand there over 300 settlements and the settlement infrastructure and to seriously consider amex in some or all of the west bank. i think this is going to be on the political agenda of these really government in its dealings with uh with washington in the months to come. alright, that's michael. think he's former un special, i'll put you on the situation of human rights in the occupied palestinian territories. michael, we appreciate your time and your observations. thank you very much. let's have a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world by hundreds of people have attended the funeral of israeli hostage ordered live ships on the 84 year old. was one of 4 hostages,
