a specific mechanism in the return of remains, the return of displaced persons to their homes and the facilitation of travel for patients and the wounded to receive treatment. the 1st phase will also intensify the delivery of humanitarian aid and ensure it's safe and effective distribution across garza as part of the agreement. i'm also gonna release 33 is really detainees in the 1st phase. sure, including civilian women, female soldiers, children, the elderly and sick and injured civilians in exchange for palestinian prisoners and is really jails and detention centers that to on wednesday evening cuts are as prime minister whose country along with egypt and the us of course, mediated these talks and islands the exchange and seats far as they were between these ro and ha, saying implementation will begin on sunday, expressed hope that both sides will stick to the commitments and the sure that car will work with its hardness. to make sure the agreement will last. you heard the

prime minister outlined the 1st phase lasting, $42.00 days well off to that comes the 2nd stage. another 42 days. when the remain hostages will be brought home and exchange for a gets to be negotiated. number of palestinian prisoners at the moment. as you remember, 98 captains are being held in gods and with at least 34 confirmed dead by the army . that leaves $64.00 hostages, potentially alive, waiting to be rescued. as for the probably sitting prisoners of 3. so say current 3 more than 10000 people are held in his really jails, including women and miners. how many will be 9 truly freed, yet unclear and during the 2nd phase, we also hear that these really proves will completely lose the gases treat. the final stage will turn to gases reconstruction. and what's being called the day off to one journalist ask

a question on everyone's mind. why now of to 15 months of war over 46000 palestinians dead, hundreds of his really soldiers lost and many hostages, who didn't make it. it's tough to cold. his breakthrough when or he praise on the mediators. this is joy laced with tears. here is how they can tell every problem and us are on 3rd, let's take and listen. why now, why this movement? and was it pressure from the incoming trump administration that got over the line to we have cnn momentum that started to build in the last month. and we kept pushing for that to working together many closely with our partners. and i can say that what we have seen from the us in the past few days, seeing a collaboration on sending. we have seen the steps that's being taken recently uh from the us has as you the to this moment. oh there

a how mos gave the green lights to the deal with is rolling colds into our own. literally sources, the milton, the girl returned to the draft proposal without any changes. now the bowl is and tell her these court west to wait and for official confirmation from these really side to say with absolute 2nd, see that the deal is finalized. these really prime minister's office has acknowledged several results points in the framework, but it's hopeful that it will be worked out within hours. they said prominent student and yahoo has made it clear. they will be no official announcement from him until the deal is 100 percent. so there's really president's address to the nation earlier on wednesday, expressing optimist. and for a quick approval ones as well. signs off the rest will basically be a formality. of course, the deal will need approval from the cabinet on government, and if everything goes as planned, sunday could mark the release of the 1st hostages from guides of the free fellow

student prisoners and a pause in the fighting. but here's a twist before the mediator is could able to analysis, president elect donald trump broke the news himself post and about the deal on social media. here's what he had to say. this epic ceasefire agreement could have only happened as a result of our historic victory in november as it signaled to the entire world that my administration would seek peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all americans and our allies. i am thrilled, american, and is really hostages will be returning home to be reunited with their families and loved ones. we will continue promoting peace through strength throughout the region. as we build upon the momentum of the ceasefire to further expand the historic abraham accords. this is only the beginning of great things to come for america, and indeed, the world. well, despite the vague and serve by the guitar, we promise to the do you have her heard earlier?

it was quite clear that all sides involved in the talks, including representatives from both current 10, incoming american administration, raced to strikes a deal before january 20. why? that is off the trump warrant, that if there was no do before he's integration, all hell will break out in the middle east or waiting for president trump to take off. no, i think they heard him loud and clear that a get done by the you know, or do or if those hostages are back, i don't want to hurt in negotiations. and then i'd back by the time i get into office, all hell will break out in the middle east and it will not be good for a mouse and it will not be good frankly, for anyone all hell will break out if the deal isn't done before i take office which is now going to be 2 weeks. all hell will break out in the middle is the deal is almost here about whether it's thanks to the efforts of those fighting for the hostages or trumps. public warnings remains on clear. there's really president,

however, expressed gratitude to everyone involved in making this happen, especially washington. i mean credit a special thanks to us president joe biden and his administration. and of course the incoming us president donald trump and his team. i know that the issue of the hostages and the security of israel and its citizens are always in the thoughts of president trump in his incoming administration. i thank him for this and wished him great success in his new term. well, even though we hear from his many prominence to his office that it is due to a new 10. yeah. whose firm stands and efforts, but how most agreed to the terms of the deal finally is really sources say that's the involvement of the incoming us administration. led by trump's active and some say aggressive me the least invoice, revived hostage stalks with him off. and he was the one who put significant them kluso pressure on this. and he asked me to secure the deal by den hose administration was unable to strike this bill. for months,

praised american involvement, this is the cease fire agreement. i introduce last spring. today, come off and is you'll have agreed to that cease fire agreement. and the whole and the in the war have reached this point because because of the pressure that israel built on the mos backed by the united states. so many positive words. but i have to say that everyone in israel supports they still, among them some families of the hostages. they oppose the phase nature of the agreement seer ring. but those set to be released in later stage base simply not return at all if something goes wrong. and we know how fast things may change and respond to the globe. they demand that old hostages be returned. civil 10 is the that however seems unlikely. earlier we also heard some harsh criticism from members of natania who's call ition, specifically the national secrets, administer,

and finance minister. both settlers with a strong end to palestine and extreme right views, calling for the war to continue. then we are even threatened to leave the call issue and if the deal goes through, however, i have to say that this will not jeopardize the deal or the government opposition policies have or to insure it before they would step in to support the coalition if necessary. they were among the 1st to welcome the deal off to the news came. a new old preparations are in high gear and the idea has launched the wings of freedom operation to facilitate the hostages return. well, hospitals across these will all setting up a special words and preparing their stuff again to embrace the hostages is really for and administer has taught showed hayes your being treat to return home because of the deal, of course. and these really president has met with the head of the international red cross to coordinate efforts for the deal on the pallet street inside some fries . and as have already been told to pack the belongings while their families in the

west bank are waiting for the return of their loved ones and celebrations, of course have rocketed in gaza for many some moments they been waiting for through 15 long months of war. while the next 48 hours will be crucial with hope, hence tension running high on both sides. if all goes as planned, this fragile agreement could mark the beginning of a pause in the bloodshed, and perhaps the 1st step towards something more lasting. while as jo by the spoke on the cease fire a deal, he actually mixed up who was behind the october 7 terrorist attack that triggered the gals. a war state secretary on 3, blinking on v p. campbell r as left on stony faced more than 15 months. of conflict began my head was brutal massacre in october, the 7th, one of the 15 months of terror for the hostages. their families is really people

longer way to deal is occurring at a peculiar moment, right? when both arrive and administrations in washington are making a transition. now everyone is scrambling to take credit for it. when questioned on the agreement, the us state department spokes person on surprisingly praise b. i. 's going teen deceased by our agreement is an agreement that was conceived of by this administration that this administration traveled the world to garner support. when it comes to the involvement of president elect trump's team is been absolutely critical in getting this deal over the line. we created the conditions for this deal that started with this presence, starting a framework that was agreed upon by the world that was because of this precedent. that was because he was able to lay out his thoughts, his thinking it took someone who has the experience at this present had to get this going to get this moving to understand what negotiations look like. and that's what

this president was able to bring to the table and it got done under his watch. it got done today. always good to welcome on to the program, head of news of the cradle publication, esteban colorado for his at views on developments today. good to see us about both sides in washington, particularly the bite and administration are trying to take credit for the deal. is it somewhat on the seemly that this agreement, which follows a catastrophic war, has already in the way, turned into a public point scoring contests. uh well it, it's been that exactly these uh these have been tough savings, base these up things that you were saying, gaining voice from the beginning, these for the cease fire, it needs to be 1st of all, welcome need the relief. but the people of gas that need the right now, and it has to come up over everything else. but we also need to highlight that these agreement has barely any difference from the agreement that was on the table

8 months ago in may 2024. when joe biden again went on tv and said, a cease fire, how had been reached, and then why these are all due. well, we all know what happened next. we'll know the effects from the hospitals. we all know that extermination sounds. we all know about the rape and the torture, and the end of that, the insured a disappearance as an you know, i couldn't go on and suddenly it's been 15 months of a brutal, brutal genocide that uh, it's not even coming to an end as we speak it's coming to an end, supposedly on sunday, right. and after just minutes after these announcements gets announced, a gets made and these ready air force bombs, guy. so cd killing at least 30 more probably seniors after us use fire is on the house. so many questions remain bright for joe biden. and company a or for donald trump and company. this is, as you say, a w, right? this is something that they needed to announce needed to get done. it doesn't matter what happens after it doesn't matter if there is a more the boss ends up all this thing is getting killed as we speak. what matters

is that the announcement was made. now middle school back on sunday. there is an actual ceasefire on the east road, a he was through the terms that have been announced. israel has him even made on the announcement officials by the name and spoken about it. yeah. they're talking about a baltimore and the security cabinet. so again, be back to the question, what is exactly joe, right, and then donald trump then to come, sorry, prime minister and a jeep, some precedent announcing today these rojas and given their final go ahead. if so, is the one who brought it about? what could, esteban have offered that was new to cause this break to wasn't giving nothing. yahoo, no option or uh, perhaps a normalization of as really relations with saudi arabia. it was on the table that's been alluded to a it's possible, i think, i think anything's possible and particularly following the fall of syria. i think that in the, in the region of west asia, at this point the, we can expect the unexpected. anything is possible moving forward a i think um,

you know, i wouldn't be announcement was made earlier today. i remember the reports from a few months ago in which they, they, these rays were talking about a january, surprise, generic gift for donald trump, what they were talking about. and they wanna cease fire the right they, when they were talking about these, i feel like what we're seeing now in gaza is on a 10 by benjamin netanyahu to get donald trump a good starting, you know, sort of before he started at the white house and again, don't forget, 1st of all, what i already mentioned there, the continues effects in augusta and 2nd, that was by the response is under siege again as we speak, it is under siege and we know that on the trump is coming in with a what can only be described as an east rel, 1st a government cabinet that will at 1st of all and give us rough all of the, all of the power to do as they see fit in the occupied westbank. and we're talking about the fact the one exception of the entire and polishing and territories the seems to be in the cards and it becomes more uh, more up. all right? once you see why the, internally, these regulations are sending, you know,

they these fire, right? ultra ultra signing these hey officials will continue to threaten to collapse. nathan general government, the government has in gain strength over the past year. the devil government doesn't copied of food and i did a pay before if there was some. can i just add an aside to that? it's all very well, isn't it? doing a deal with benjamin netanyahu? but as you say, he's been on shaky ground for months. if he is for start on those even more nationalist figures in his cabinet, chavira smoke bridge, they take the reins are close to power, at least. are we back to square one? and i believe so, you know, i mean, i don't do not see how things are going or thank you. i hope that makes it visa. he's, you know, as widely as politicians as they come right. he, he has obviously a survivor. it things that are older or other, other leaders, whatever. ready a full in the for both. nathan yeah. who continues to be here? continues to hold power a what is going to happen next? internally?

it's very, it's very difficult to tell whether they, they, these extreme is a piece of with actually bulk and the government at the end. they're getting a deal at the, i don't, i feel like overnight there's a deal being done internally. and he's wrong with the support of the you as another our nation about and settlement expansions about the construction. you know, a guy saw a guy, i guess he's going to be taken over by everybody's ready stuff. there's this, he's already on the car. this is already being class when day the terms of a deal talk about uh, withdrawal of israeli troops. he's going to troops have built the infrastructure in gas, so that is for permanent deployment. that is for the, it's for the protection of the future is really settlements. so again, once somebody comes, we will have to see how, how these goals. but our recent experience and even recent are statements from his regular fuels point stores. i restart of these of these horrific war. the finance minister already set it up few hours ago. the only way we will back the 6 are the only, there's a permanent return to the war afterwards. always interesting in lightning to hear your thoughts as to bottom cover your head of news of the cradle magazine. much

appreciated. thank you. of what people who does have taken to the streets in celebration r. t. correspondents and the sofa beta told us more about the mood on the ground in the bottles and no money. and i truly felt my breath catching. at the moment the ceasefire was announced. citizens took to the streets and began firing into the air in the city of con. eunice screens was set up on the street, and people watched the press conference about the ceasefire from doha, celebrating with joy and waving palestinian flags. this city, the largest in gaza, is home to over 1700000 displaced persons to have repeatedly experienced loss and disaster. it is time for these people to return home, even if their homes are just ruined. the northern areas and assets are also on the way to provide humanitarian aid, including the swift delivery of tents and medical supplies to the region has been suffering for 15 months due to the israeli conflict,

which has led to the depths of palestinians and best elevation, though these radio army continues to carry out extensive strikes on the gauze, a strip starting from the northern provinces, and moving to the southern regions, particularly in the city of rough uh, military aircraft, currently attacking the home of the l. no, be family, you know, as you how to square earlier. another attack, a code and the al milwaukee area resulting in 5 a time of day. i mean, the situation remains, tenants in the eastern parts of con, units like the local residents, are seriously concerned about the intensity of fire from the is right. the military . however, people are filled with optimism and look forward to next sunday when the ceasefire will take effect on allowing the displaced individuals to return to their homes in the northern provinces. well, news of the hostage and prisoners swap, the it has also reached neighboring lab and on which is still recovering from its conflict with his real r t. steve sweeney reports on that on her lab and on this for him with its own. so as far well, what you can have will perhaps even see behind me is going for this is set up right

click on file for the announcement that a ceasefire agreement with her in a is a lot of times this brings an end to the is ready for mom and the cause of involvement is left at least $45000.00 people dead. the figure is likely to rise. once i was clean up, operations have taken place in gauze, or more bodies are likely to be found. now, we're in time in southern lebanon, they're also celebrations in the liberties capital pay route, and then separately, and all the areas across the country. what we might have in southern lebanon. we're approaching the end of the 60 day, see for our agreement with 3 as well. on level known however level in southern lebanon, austin, on days radio. imagine that having classes between is righty, focuses on vintages, trying to return to around 60 says the ones that are still under the control of the

is id on for the not the lebanese all the what, how salty society move into some of those areas as well. as in fact, all those and destroyed buildings approving throughout the buildings as they slowly stalled the withdrawal process happening. convoys of the lebanese on policies of by c is radio and lisa, in some of the assessments here in the south. and then earlier this week, as well, seem to escalate this foaming campaign targeting the eastern mountain village of genes uh in the back of valley, in the fall back region of the country, very close to the syrian border. and then in a novelty, i here in the, the sounds a little the north old phillips on the river. now old of this comes off the, the election of a president, the head of the liberties on forces. joseph, our own was a pointed president, bringing an end to last. so my level to not being without

a president for more than 2 years. and now we're starting to see the formation of a government here with the appointment of a prime minister, the former president of the international court of justice. now the un secretary general antonio gutierrez, where he is due to arrive and never been late to this week. this is possible, he describes as a solar damage the visit. he's also believed to be coming down south to nicole road . this is where the commit to the overseas, the implementation of the c 5 agreement meets. now of course, as well as breach dot c for our agreement continually more than 500 violations have been reported. more than 250 strikes. but now we're in a period which, which is being described as a transitional phase for the people in evidence that along with the able to see 5 goals. maybe we will start to see the beginning of some separate. i see,

i know a lot of time because these reading are all the entire southern evidence of the russian defense ministry has confirmed a groups strike on ukrainian gas infrastructure facilities were drawing. nearby ortiz, senior correspondent, rock goes to rad. it appears. this was a response to what was attempted by ukraine's forces this week. so well, the russian ministry of defense is confirm the strikes saying that it is in response to repeated you crate in strikes from within you credit and tests, we're using american attack. and that's me solve as well as preschool shadow results to strike deep into russia. this is a response to that was also an episode that we saw on the 11th of january web ikea

of attempted to attack a compression and pumping station the seeds, the tuck stream, pipe lots. it is almost impossible to over the state. how significant that attacked was, it was beaten off the the compression station was of damage, but that's pipeline. the touch screen pipeline pumps about the t b and cubic meters of natural gas to tug key and then further into europe. i'm usually to give you some perspective, gemini, germany, the powerhouse of europe. industrial powerhouse uses only a quarter of that, about 7000000000 cubic meters annually. so if you created being successful in that, just like using drones on glass compression station in russia, cut off for the region of the off the shocks would have been felt in every single household on the platters. every single business in the world. because there aren't many alternatives, prizes would have exploded,

the beneficiary would have been american liquefied natural gas companies, which also supply gas to europe as a tremendously high price is the move supplied by russian pipeline. so we get the strike a targeting by the way, and then the ground will well, the facilities, the lab facility, serving the on the ground gas storage, huge cabins in the gulf. the attack was launched by russia using very these types of nissan is but again, perhaps a given, the russia didn't target the undergrad portion of the storage facilities. but rob the lab vs the lab based infrastructure that supports it. this was a boarding shock to create a warning. seas cease and desist car to senior correspondent murdock as they have taken us through. thanks brook. i'm not these

where we leave the new drop for an hour and a busy day of stories. keep across the big developments going forward by keeping a close eye on r t dot com. never at the moment. they're good by the the the hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered. i'm peter level. as he leaves office secretary state anthony blinking will not be remembered as

a diplomat. he will be remembered as a moral disgrace when faced with a chance to stop wars and genocide, he refused. he talked about a rules based order, but he acted as an international criminal, the prospect being blinking legacy. i'm joined by my guess michael rossi in task and he is a lecture of political science at rutgers university. and here in moscow we have alexander 8th, and he is a lecture at moscow institute of physics and technology. okay, let's start out with michael on test. scan them as anthony, blinking in his exit interviews and they were softball ones at that with the new york times. in the financial times and uh he was uh, singing his own praises um saying america is stronger its enemies or a week or he didn't talk about security, which is something remarkable about this administration. and never talked about

anyone security. he thinks he did a bang up job and he's very, very pleased with himself passing the baton to the next administration. how will history judge anthony blinking go ahead, michael as well. i have absolutely no doubt that he thinks to himself that he did a bang up job, and i have no doubt that the new york times and the financial times will judge him as a defender of the global liberal democracy in history is going to judge him at best as a very mediocre secretary of state, as someone who is little more than a cog in the wheel, a voice, a mouth piece of the transatlantic liberal system. and one in which i have, as i said before, he has no doubt that he did a successful job, but his name will.
