that in spite of the crisis and the relationship we worked for and the west side started in the community kind of perhaps for the most important communication channel. so really oh, by the rush and the security services release. protect showing 10 russian citizens of boarding a plane, a non conquer, and that's where the students took place at the deal was broken by and they told me that, but the key for lighting the intense negotiations. that footage has also been relieved . showing the western citizens being taken to the plane that would slide to fly them to to key at the west swapped for 10 russians civilians include being to minus my colleagues, charlotte dimansky discussed the details on who is on the present exchange list with our correspondent steve sweetie, speculation was rife, early on thursday morning about this potential mass prisoners swap between the

russian federation, the united states, batteries, germany and other european nations. now one. 9 we soon discovered it was one of around 6 russian government planes that did take off. we spent most of the day kind of tracking those to see that whereabouts. of course, that was a lot of speculation across by russian media and american media. cbs, the american media media route, but when it reported that i do have been struck by the, this was, according to a senior bind to an administration official. now of course, we've had the confirmation from took his intelligence in a, in total key dots. and could i have mediated this data now they've released this list of $24.00 prisoners that have been exchanged as believe to be $26.00 in total, the biggest prisoner exchange since the end of the cold war. now we have some of those names confirmed now we can talk about some of the,

i guess the most prominent or high profile of those names top of the list. of course, the wall street journal report to evan goose give is now. he was recently dialed for 16 years on espionage charges. he came into the country. he was gathering information about the wagner private minutes. he company, but he was caught by russian security services. he was caught red handed, they say with irrefutable evidence that he was gathering information military information that could be useful to the west of the united states. and that he was preparing to have this information over to the c i. he of course, became a cool cetera in the west. his detention was seen as an upfront to journalism on a front to a news gathering. many of the many of these weston government sons dirt. and this, of course, from countries that were behind the detention on the expedition with the planned expedition of the, which it expounded you, the most honest about whom they remained incredibly signed. and now moscow has

a game reiterate to that. it has incredibly strong evidence that goes could, which was in fact, spying talk a call soon. the conservative bull costa, in his interview with not in a position where he confronted him directly on ghost, which his case and said would rush. i'd be willing to release him as a gesture of goodwill and putting replied inside. well, he's always open to this kind of thing, but it hadn't been reciprocated at by the west. and he said, well, of course, he would be happy to discuss the possibility of a prisoner exchange, but this needed some degree of flexibility from western intelligence. another of the high profile, the names on a list of cause is poor reading the full in the us marine, a former us police officer. he again had a very checkered history in his own country. he was found guilty of embezzlement when he was a member of the united states armed forces. he suddenly develop this very keen

interest in russia. he started learning the russian language. he was communicating with russian citizens over social media. he came to the country in 2006 report to be to attend the wedding of a friend. but again, he was, hey, for a while and he was accosted, he was arrested and found on his possession, according to russia with state secret. so he was imprisoned on espionage geologist and of course it was the german national rico creek where he worked in the u. s. embassy in the lane. uh, often leaving that post, he decided he was going to go to ukraine on a humanitarian mission. as so many of them do, but he soon became caught up in combat operations. one of his missions was to 5 to go off batteries in ministry installations. and he was cold and arrested in the batteries and kept 2 minutes. he had a rough side loaded rock sack loaded with explosives, which was due to be used on that countries royal network. he was sentenced to death

from medicine re activities, but he was recently pardoned by the better we see him. president interesting going through the list of the details that we've had. so the fall this to minus who are all one of those planes coming back to russia? i think that suggests that a russian couple from slovenia are amongst those being released from the russian side to come back home. yes. well now all to them on, on the old chevy. this is a couple that were detained on espionage charges in slovenia. of all places now, according to the neighbors, they had been a fairly old and we couple, they were living that with the children they were living at old me, but it'll cost life in a so, but it'd be in slovenia. they have a number of companies. i see company in a company and all the business organizations, but this will be in, you know, solar t's said that these with friends for russian spying operations. they were arrested that was sentenced to just under 2 years in prison on charges of spying,

the charges against them, which would have time even a year sentence if they were indeed found guilty. they are not included on this this. and of course, along with the children of named cross equals now he is a game. he was one of the names that was really meant to be paul, this prisoner exchange. and he's a paid on this list of people that being confirmed to be on that for his new exchange. this he is a, an f s. b agent. he was caught in russia back in 2019 and he was charged with kidding. a georgia national who is believed to be a checked him set protest, and he was a sentence to life in prison. 1 speaking from the white house at the us, president gave his reaction to the prison, the swap. you bought it on the line, the role of nato allies in the negotiation process. it's still not been made possible without our allies, germany, poland, sylvania, norway,

and turkey. they all stepped up and they stood with us to deal at night. this possible was the feed of diplomacy and friendship. the us president spoke to the press, surrounded by family members of those who had been detained and are being released in, in his remarks. he was harshly critical of the russian government as usual, but many of noted that in addition to giving credit to other countries that were involved in the negotiating process and grand standing against russia in his remarks, there was a large amount of self congratulation. and that was echoed later when the white house press secretary describe the deal as well. they continued to emphasize how important joe biden is in making this prisoner exchange, the largest per largest prisoner exchange. since the cold war happened, they very much wanted to emphasize that binding was essential in the process.

here's what we heard from biden, as well as the white house press secretary. as of today, my business, i just brought them over. 70 americans were wrongfully detained. how hostage abroad the president was himself, personally engaged in the diplomacy, the prophets about many since before i took office, i would say that if you had not had your mind sitting in the oval office, i don't think this would have happened edition, i assure the executive order 2020 to authorize the penalties like sanctions and travel vans and those who hold americans against their will. and honestly, guys, i can just say this was vintage joe biden, rallying america rally and american allies, to save american citizens and russian freedom fighters and doing it with intricate stay craft, pulling his whole team together and strive this across the finish line. now it's important to note that the defensive tone of the white house seems to come on the backs of what many of noted, which is the joe biden is not running for re election in the coming race. in

november i, he recently announced he was withdrawing and com la harris. his vice president will be the candidate of the democrat party. now, at this point, it's also worth noting that well, in biden's remarks, he did hand there was a slight improvement in relations with russia. as a result of the prisoner exchange, when he was asked by a reporter, if he would speak to the russian president, he gave a pretty solid no, ah, so there will not be communication between the president of the united states and the president of russia. well, senior editor issue inside johnson calculate you believe that such exchanges provide a window of opportunity for all the issues. i would say it's probably less sending the chill than about warming, but it is an opportunity. and you know, primarily because you've had 7 governments do something that they didn't want to do . so that's always productive. and when governments will then respond that nothing

is linked that, you know, this is isolated. it's not linked to ukraine. it's not linked to to any other issue . of course it is because it allows for another avenue of discussions. so it's a good day when 7 governments do what they don't want to do. when each of those governments good good headlines, governments like good headlines and they want more. so this does provide an opening slide, but it does provide an opening for discussions with respect to other issues. there's no question that. so from my perspective, the president pohden has made his decision, and his decision is that he prefers the predictability of what would come with a harris administration than the unpredictability that would come from his 2nd trump administration. and you know, primarily when you, when you look at that,

the president put and could have easily waited less than a 100 days to make this deal happen. president put in, you know, made a calculated decision. and, you know, for vice president harris, this is a really good day for a former president. trump, you know, he's going to be angry, is going to say, it's a week deal. you know, that's because that's why they made the deal because president put and then one of the go shape with the, with the 2nd term president trump issue, it's really going to to fall on on a lot of deaf ears because the bottom line is, this is one less item on the list of unpleasant items relating to the us and russia. but while in the mid least, people in tel aviv have been on the streets demanding be, is really going to make a deal with him. us to bring the remaining of hostages home from guys that are to

contribute to robert. bye, bring sauce. the report now of hi me is me, is rarely carry out, which is kind of like the pentagon for israel. the idea in face here and uh for thousands at the end of the process, there were thousands of people marching through the street as we can see the screen now raw sewage deal, now dumping, weeping, and screaming and crying, and some people are angry for 3 or 300 days is just too long. do you see the thing? we are getting very close to 365. so these people are very upset and they want to deal to happen. they want it sooner rather than later. this is the hostage for 300 days. it is very nice. people

reach human rights friday we have going on here. now are people who are very angry and they want a deal, but most of the country is very concerned about what's going on. i mean, there are 12, navy army, uh, carriers swelled maybe, except for american ships around the region to protect as well. in case of an attack is increasing tension and loving on this real. you're on doing 0. people afraid. let's hear what time is repeating that. they all have to say about the situation of the 7 said that israel is anastasia, very high readiness for any scenario on by defense and offense. we will extract a very high price for any acts of aggression to gain stuff from any quotes whatsoever. and so after we eliminated the hezbollah chief of staff yesterday, today came the final verification of the elimination of the how much chief of stuff, how many df illumination establishes the simple principle,

the width stablished. because the way the hutch last week at the end of the cartoon is the most i'm sending while israel definitely feels justified just as a from us members, wherever they may be. we all decided refiners. there's a lot and there's a lot ahead of his blood. the throw off, there's no blame even if no for basically letting the dog give or lose. let's hear what he has to say. is that going to do? i will say that the enemy and those who support the enemy have to expect our response. our response will come for sure. this is a historical battle, and today we say to design is that if you want to finish us through killing our leaders and scaring our people and killing women and children, good man, if you want us to surrender to be weaker, you are wrong, your, this will not happen, as our ladies a knob has said, whatever you do, but whatever efforts you make, nothing yahoo and all of the americans, whether it's biden or harris or trump,

they're all the same. it doesn't matter what, whatever you do, and the efforts you make, you will not erase us. you will not kill our resilience and our spirit. if you are planning to finish us, this will not work. this you, sir, per entity is going to be finished because the people of god will win. but they both feel that ward is them. and, and, you know, obviously are screaming to say, there are families, most of the people in the country unfortunately are ready for their own lives. they feel worse domain. i used to be one of them. let's see what they have to say. we all the say things and one is a bit anxious. sometimes it would be something that we use or wrapping it up in or out here every night. and the crowds get bigger and

bigger. angry and angry or something's going to happen is going to happen still, whether it's good or bad. i don't know. time will show it while we're here. voice is for me, is real demanding. the return of the hostages. lead is somewhere around the well, they've been expressing their condolences for the deceased political director of him us. but the us social media giant meta has been accused of attempting to silence them. my name is yes, prime minister says that the company which controls facebook and instagram, is serving us a tool of israel. and that's after we deleted his boast about the death of these mario had the, the matter is once again acted rudely and has insulted the cause of the palestinian people. when i uploaded a video message with condolence and criticism of the killing of the lady who smiled hon. yeah, it doesn't make sense when a tribute to a fighter who tried to free his homeland from tyranny and suffering is considered

dangerous. my stern warning to mete don't be a bastard and a tool of the tyrannical design. this is really regime meta. did it again, the company took down a video of mass, a chair by a malaysian prime minister on what you brought him, where he condemned in the strongest possible terms, the assassination of is smart l. how the, the political fury. sure, man of the how most resistance move met, mass all labeled the post as support for people and organizations that had been defined as dangerous in the west. it looks like you've shared or send symbols, praise or supports of people. and organizations that we define is dangerous, will follow them. this goes against all community standards on dangerous individuals, organizations, and this is not the 1st time it happened in may. facebook had also removed several posts related to media reports of armoires, publicized meeting with the homeless chief,

honey in katara. and he is not the only one who is outreach by this. the malaysian prime minister's office media and strategic communications division also shared their concerns on facebook. they demanded an explanation of urge meta issue, an apology. they called the action discrimination against palestinians. the media and strategic communications division of the prime minister's office has condemned metro's actions regarding photos on instagram, showing the meeting of prime minister. and while abraham with the leader of hamas in doha can talk, asked may, this action clearly shows discrimination against the situation in palestine and the country's leaders. accordingly, all side demands an explanation regarding this matter and the jews mete to apologize. the leisure has lost as located for a 2 state solution to the conflict between israel and the palestinians. the support

is also running high among civil society. collisions has been speaking out and rallying and solidarity with palestine gatherings has been held to protest against is, are also fatality in gaza. and they have been attended by up to thousands of people the we requested that matt todd comment on the emerging scandal. and as malaysia is not the only country that expressed condo emphasis over, i'm yes stuff. the question is why or western type the human trying to silence those voices. how are they going to be full reporting for r t from jakarta? and so africa. now 5 people had been killed in a drill and they're tied going to an army, bees in war torn sedan while they handled the transitional government was in the

area of the r s as a part of military which is fighting against the state has been not responsibility for the attack, not following the incident. the got manzanita rejected. see slide talks tends to take place in switzerland and we will not lay down our guns until the country is cleansed of any rebel or mercenary. and we will not accept negotiations that undermine the dignity of our people. the battle with the enemy continues and we will not retreat or surrender, and we will not negotiate with any party, no matter who it is. the army lead to stones came as he survived him as this nation that came to that took place during a graduation ceremony that he was attending in the east to aust. done. those that were present at the ceremony say close to the conclusion of the whole gathering an array of suicide drove is attacked to the ceremony. 2 of the dogs and manage to strike in the center of the gatherings for han was able to escape and scabbard how

if i 5 people, as you have mentioned, what he owed, by the impact of those 2 drugs. the strike is the closest, is the closest section the tech has problems to pull sedona since the war began in april of 2023. the attack has yet to be claimed up properly by any group. and the all me sources have also stated that to the not to search and who exactly is responsible for this attack and the rapid support forces which has been engaged in . here's the side to get this done. armed forces that have not the least um claimed some sort of responsibility as you've mentioned. and we also know that to all the positions i will sweep across to dawn of come and repeated attacks the police on the i received. we know that the warning sites have been planning to engage in these piece talks in switzerland. do we understand this recent attack is apparently

sort of really ruined those plans. do you think they could be any progress for negotiations at this time? they've been uh, the sentiment so a hearing coming out for us to don't right now. well, at this moment it seems very unlikely to it says the strike comes off to the government condition of the accepted an invitation to attend the peace talks in switzerland on the 14th of this month. the talk. so would have been the 1st major if it's in months to get to the army and to the receiver to sit together in one place. but the lead to stated that the student needs on forces would not to be negotiating with the i receive for putting an end to piece towards that had only recently started to also do with that to the obviously, if exempted the vacation very soon. all said, was proposed saying that it was the call to most concerned with the savings, the lives as the dignity off of the cities. people sold it to operate in the

entities the aims of to do so. we are ready to engage in these tools constructively and look forward to them being a significant step towards piece stability and the establishment of a new suit in the state based on justice, a quality and federal governance. we affirm our commitment to all people in the international community to participate in the talks on august 14th in switzerland, but efforts by many countries to push voice these via and in the to the will have proven all, most inadequate talks last year. for example, between the 2 sides, broken by saudi arabia and the united states failed to even reduce the slicing ads . a recent attempts to revive those tools to breaking down in a need soon, even this yeah, age of hosted support is off. both the, the, the forces in chiral for negotiations. the only outcome from that was at the creation off a subcommittee to austin agreement which was meeting just because it was

a visually violated even to you and hosted in direct these thoughts between the parties of the 2 sides could not even meet face to face of the only need to see you in super cheap um general personal info, just to don seen how these if it's in the conflict is done have intensified. but so far the last thing ceasefire has remained elusive. even the sudanese consider the tool in switzerland as the best opportunity to negotiate and into the war. because families are displaced to multiple times of war. uh, following hawks on the hills, food aid forwarding desperately sold on what's needed communitarian aid, intercepted by soldiers and on the on groups before it can even reach the intended recipients. even crop production capacity is being sabotaged during a hung like emergency not to mention the violations committed against children,

even the you in itself saying that they've never seen or verified so many violations against children as they did before the period of 2022 and 22 in the city and as we speak, tales of thousands of people killed and millions. as i mentioned before, to, to see the homes making sit on the concrete with the largest displace population in the world. and to many 10 groups continue to say that both of these parties have committed abuses, a submit a multiple cries. and lastly, update this alex, you can get for the details of all the stories we're following on the r t dot com. and thanks for watching the
