i mozy but the yellow and it was the as of this it was the non i knew of literally the on is really part of the term in, within the ruling coalition. a night since that goes the cease fire, a hostage swaps deal is close to being finalized. that sounds, they tell us to be internal. this tells our tea premium and nothing yahoo may have accepted the agreement after being given a guarantee that donald trump would step in the healthy or off his legal worries. in israel. it was a problem before getting back in time to talk. no. it would be more easy. a problem with has been to get out of this. despite a ceasefire deal being read, celebrations are marked by sorrow. those paula city ends in both jobs on the west bank. barry, their loved ones were killed off during the a 9 to print of the approaching fruits. instead i forget the whole goal of the

supporter, all the public to be imposed quote for it just lost the piece, the african at the national congress deputy president told artsy country comp turn the volume dye to what is happening with constant following situation with women and children not being cute to date. those are wise. because we went to the defense of america. i want to live as the sort of good people is to spend costs, which the just after mid day in guatemala, sits a midnight and duck. uh, 9 uh nights in the russian capital. welcome to the r t international use as 24 hours after the a 9 spent of a gallons, a ceasefire on hosted swath agreement. official was accepted, but not confirmed. i mean,

there's really politician within the reading coalition says the deal is close to being finalized a few minutes ago i received a final announcement that all obstacles have been overcome and the deal is underway . now, they are busy with the final technical wording. i want to congratulate prime minister netanyahu. he is responsible for the agreement. we saw a statement from the chairman of charles party, part of the time. yeah. whose call we shouldn't pronouncing. oh, good with a deal. we haven't heard from prime minister or his office. yeah, there is no official confirmation, even when we have a we will need to wait till these really cabinets to convene and to rectify the deal, and then the countries governments. meanwhile, israel has continued only in the gaza strip since the deal was announced repeatedly killing at least 70 people since wednesday evening from us now claims the idea of struck an area near the location of a female hostage said you to be freed from in the initial phase 10 since i'm

running high and both sides are pointing fingers. i'm not supposed been due on wednesday, but just as it rolls cabinet was expected to meet. to finalize that the prime minister's office accused her mazda of adding last minute demands, instead of wanting to move forward until old terms of match the milton good 5 bag denying these planes and say, it's still sticking to the me. the acres plan reports suggest the cabinets meeting might be pushed to friday. the last working day before shabani in israel, the day of rest. and we've been deal supposed to take effect sunday noon. it's actually turning into race against time. israel also plans at school withdrawal by day 50 during the 2nd phase with, with both sides not open mid publicly class right now hanging in the balance new. all these really, society is plain. some people support they do well, i'm trying to reach, acted like those people behind me. i'm now in service. what i'm,

where hundreds are free to ask for is most of them families of the idea is killed and the gas of war have gathered to express anger and disappointment with the deal, the pain relief, who jeopardize the country security van calling on mission. yeah. when the government to back off continue from us, hope continue fighting him off to the very end and relieve all centers at one and this place a whole so i'm on is really talk to specials with some ministers. again, openly speaking out against the do let's, they can listen. when you decide on the release of so many terrace, including murders who killed jews. and it's not the only dimension of the agreement . it's not an easy decision that the as rarely cabinet will have to accept the deal that will be put before the government is bad and dangerous for the national security of the state of israel. we will not be silent. the unequivocal condition of ass day and government is absolute confidence in returning to war with even

greater force in full and in a new format until complete victory in all aspects above all, until the terrorist organization, mazda is eliminated, and all hostages are return time. well, after the day was an i was still on wednesday evening, finance minister said israel must be able to return to the war to this for him, mazda and return all of the chaise during the 1st stage. and this is the condition for his part is remaining in the government. the country is national security minister ben view earlier also threatens to leave the call issue needs to do go through inviting smoke rich to follow his needs. why is this room, you know, it's a proving the deal officially unclear. that's why i didn't see to find out the races but policy in the internal. it's shelly, i've dealt rockman so he's benjamin netanyahu. subbing willingness to agree to a deal despite earlier resistance indicates he may have received some legal assurances from a incoming us president. in my opinion,

a smaller chunk thing to be an adult video, probably because he gave them all the one getting the, or during the 14 or 16 up in the box for, for the 16 months. the, but the other problem is the legal process he's facing. and israel and the, with the latest developments when he, i know that he's having a counselor, i believe that this is going to want to make it more easier for him to not face all that he got an accusation as before. this is a one point in the other point. i believe that tom is going to play a big role in saving him from any kind of indeed, gonna process it from the trial against the drive cases he's facing in israel, but come up with the phones while johnson's waited for the cease fire deal to fall into place and it's really strike hit the enclave reportedly killing dozens

overnight. video footage shows local saying their final farewell to victims of via salt morning. those who will not be able to enjoy a possible long awaited peace. despite the enthusiast, vic celebrations, which broke guides across the strip, many continued to worry about the future. so hold on, despite the joy of the cease fire announcement, i still feel an incomplete happiness. there are 3 days ahead and violence could occur during this time as well. we had hoped that the announcement of the truth would come with a real am until hostilities. we sincerely hope that these days will pass peacefully . i'm one of those who did not sleep all night, thinking about what i need to do or how to get back home and watch awaits me that cold this dr. glue. you're still lives in our hearts as there were bombings again last night is the ceasefire. was supposed to give us the chance to sleep peacefully at night, i said, but the attacks resumed disappear. that's why we are not sure that real peace will

actually come to some of our daughters and the son say they do not feel a true ceasefire. as there were attacks again at night to cause us and several people were killed. did you mean? well, the fate of people in the west bank also remains on result video from that you need refugee camp shows locals holdings, funeral rights for loved ones killed in an idea of strike that took 6 lives on wedding to stay according to local officials. the count post being the areas epicenter of violence in recent years with the idea of carrying a frequent raids that often ignite govern bottles. lebanon's president has claimed that the west drews them off and violates and obligations leaving palestinians in the west bank in danger of israel's commitment to the terms of the agreement requires follow up from the sponsoring countries. because the as rarely enemy is a custom to evading its obligations. what is happening in southern lebanon from the attached to the cease fire violations is the best evidence of the enemies,

evasion of its obligations. but always good to welcome live onto the program. political science, academic gases, has our university mccallum or a boost state. sir, you are indeed most welcome with ideas military operations continuing in places like jeanine. what does this tell us about the actual scope of the ceasefire deal? come, the westbank have been some sort of bargaining chip in these negotiations. what's behind this? well, i'm very thankful hosting j o you have raised a very good, unimportant question. uh, we are definitely going to have a siege find out in dollars, i guess as it was agreed upon. yes to the beginning on sunday, the 19th of this month. but just the situation and janine is very uh, hostile on to uh phones. uh, we all know that the, the security services have been cutting out

a security campaign against what the security services in the va calling them. criminals are trying to clear up positive that you need, and refugee come from the stylist and in a quote unquote a to them. and those of us in the meantime is we're also has been cutting out a tax. and some of these are taxed as well as use even. i will change again this again, this other palestinians in, in the refugee campbell jeanine. now i think it's, it's going to be a big problem for, for the palestinian resistance, a gorgeous, specially a p i. j. a to often it is, let me get out of the us is where a good journey is a military days against the palestinians and, and in the west bank. and janine novelist don't come in, let me just remind you of yours, that in many instances in the past, that there were laws of violence and because of strep between the palestinian

groups and as well as the result of a heated confrontation between israel and the palestinians. in the spring, so i think a very wise thing to do is to have a ceasefire and the worst thing and girls are because if there isn't a ceasefire in the worst thing, that's what i'm gonna have to be of a i think that they've been back on the sustainability of the ceasefire and goes on between israel and the palestinian resistance signals. can i get your thoughts in another aspect of what we've seen over the past 24 hours or so? and it's at us mainstream media coverage of the deal. we can just take a listen together to what set being shown. so yes, i do think donald trump helped push this over. but i don't want to take the credit away from the president, the vice president. they were very clear about this. the only very talking about it, they wish this would have happened in may, but it did not. but think you're right present by just having a hard time this week. he has a couple of days left in office. this is a big win for the by the administration, just less than a week until

a new administration takes over. but barbara brennan brought up a really interesting point that this deal was actually brokered by members of the biden team, but also the trump team to the by the administration head, spend money months trying to force the parties toward a deal, but a final portion, coordination with the incoming trump team and helped get this to helped to get to this agreement today. you remember last week from said cold all hell will break loose if is really hostages and guys aren't released by his and naga ration. he's used to be pleased with that. but also taking credit, saying that this deal in general would not have happened having not been elected this past november and president biden and his team had been working on this end as present. and mine was very clear today in the last couple of months. this has been something that they have brought the trump team onto. everybody understands media outlets want to pursue and i can go of something sort. but american not blitzer appear fixated on whether trump or biking should take the credit for facilitating

the ceasefire deal. should that really be the focus of their 15 months of blood shit. com. or you can hear me. ok. yes, yes. can you repeat the your view on some of the, the coverage from the u. s. media debating and arguing whether it should be 5 or whether it should be trauma and who gets credit for what's happening, the ceasefire. do it just seems and some distasteful some what? well yes, i agree with you. we all know that there has been, uh, so uh to speak. uh, a lot of excitement between republicans and democrats, uh, over the 1st 4 years since. uh, uh, president the electronic last, the elections invite you to, uh, a 1000 on. and we all know what happened on january 16th, 2021 when from basically a push to support those to uh,

uh, go on to attack the, uh, the american congress. uh it's, it's been a very post icon in between both of them. but let me say there's a better strictly here. are we all know the, the, the, the series for the agree between us a is what of yesterday was the same deal that was proposed by president by been back in may. and it was nothing you know, who refused and adjusted the view button, and the u. s. administration was by binding. i've tried in a very diligent way over the past month to try to convince the audio to go with the vin. but he was reluctant because he was afraid of his words when coalition members been being on smokers. but uh, let me say that it did. it really uh, shows that uh, president elect donald trump. has his fingerprints on the uh, uh, signing of this is via view between horizon as well. it was a trundle,

basically came out. the 1st $1.00 to $1.00 knows that there is a deal when he wrote on his social media to show that he said that we have a deal of the hostages would really be soon as he even stated that this is why he has done this even without being in the white house and he was tending his so forth as imagine what's going to happen when he is and the wife goes . so yes, it is. a body been, be of the was proposed a few months ago, but i didn't, didn't have the yes, this is of the box to impose this on the go. but i think it was drawn by his uh, uh, advisor uh steve, uh, what called his invoice to that is who basically put enough pressure on the all the sudden the pressure goes up. what uh, what pressure was that because we've heard allegations that he may help with his

legal problems at home at trump might help him and we heard that may be pushing for . it is really saturday relations at 2 i did on there. what do you think was the car at or the stick that help? nothing. yahoo, i agree to this. i'm not really sure with the brother, the electron would be able to go live video and his try. i'm a and is read, but i think from what we read from what, what was posted by the president don't of 12, a speaking of a piece in the middle east and normalization between is very low. so the, i think of a are convincing. uh that was in employees i uh, was not done. you know, that if there's going to be a ceasefire in gov, of that will pay the whole for normalization is between as well. and so the, and we all know that it was doing a drum who initiated this piece between israel and the i'm upstairs united,

the model name and worldwide. now i don't think the drum is going to risk if there isn't a normalization that appears through the between israel. so the which would probably stabilize the origin and bring be some home for this. the for the people know the image is very interesting, insightful analysis. as always, thank you for your time, sir. matt kamer abo say the associate professor of political science at all is our university. thank you said what archie has spoken exclusively with pop 19 members. so the governing african national congress party in south africa deputy president spoke marcia tayley discussed with us a wide range of topics including south africa stance on supporting a future palestinian nation. there's a quick preview of the the u. s. is one of our biggest trading partners,

but it doesn't mean will agree with them on ever to see and they know that the so on the issue of is about palestine. we do not agree with them. we think the general side that up must be stopped. and to the extent that they come to the pa, to on that, we will be happy about dental. going to tell us that we should stop stop some putting part of it, but we would work with them. are ministers have been in the u. s. we have way to continue, i'm planning to go to the us myself. we want to work with them, but it's important that or press people, every window else must be separate. the 2 have freedom. they would come to the lowest attrition way. women and children being came to dade and we close our eyes because we went to the defense of america. we, uh,

i want life of the sort of good people is, is incorrect on should. in fact that's how we, we, we proceed on as a thing. we do so we're not going to close our eyes when we see that in other parts of the world, you know, send people not being killed. women and children. busy we will stand for them because we will support that when we flip up, update it. so if i what time now to stop for the when the i c c c u s. sounds good rest. they should be allowed to implement the decisions we have found. africa will not stand on the way when the i c, c has to implement is decision. so we do hope that is what i will will comply. but we know, you know, it's difficult. nobody want to know is really give them says into the address that

it but it's, it's a decision of those who are part of this conventions and the thing that, that those decisions must, must be respected. so if the problem is, is y'all had to come to south africa, you would comply with that. why? interpreter is indeed, he bet another come here. because there is no way we can protect you. we are part of the convention and we have a suspect. because if we don't, we're going to undermine the data room based on that conference. i wanted relations in the west, but for more updates on the latest is really palestinian developments r t dot com has you covered, you'd find plenty more besides there to check it out. when you count the us assistant secretary of state for energy resources believes must go as last for

good what he calls the most important energy market. europe, that's after ukraine was used to extend its gas trends that contract with russia's gas pump. dorski pointed out that 25 years ago had written 30 b c. m a year were flowing through ukraine to european markets. today that number is 0. russia has lost its traditionally most important energy market and, and i'm, i'm convinced there's no coming back as well in europe itself. several states are fighting for the gas supply deal to actually be resisting the slovak prime minister for one. he's a nice the intends to meet with lot of years lensky. i sort of schedules a lot. and how does you may recall publicly criticize kia for breaking the deal? threatening to cut humanitarian aid on emergency electricity supplies to ukraine is

also hinted. slovakia would veto the bid for ukraine to join the you down says washington believes it comes on the clear winner in any supply. chrysler today, we are the largest elegy export or in the world. and by the end of the trump administration, we will have doubled what we're doing today. so this is a level of energy of buttons that is unprecedented in american history. and at the same time, we are leading the world on the energy transition. and we have to, we have to keep investing on that side of the equation as well. well, in the meantime, the european union is suffering from sanctions pushed by washington. those restrictions force the you to search for alternative more expensive suppliers, like the americans, us president elect donald trump, even threatened europe with more exports back in december. unless it buys more us liquefied natural gas,

the ceo of the russian direct investment phone saves the damage done to the european economy, is huge already. russia economy has done very well. so if you look at the perspectives this year, russia kept the g d p growth, so 4 percent. and the fuel can europe to the gross was one percent, the less. and frankly, europe with really suffering from not receiving the russian guess. we estimate that the law so, so if you're up from not receiving russian guests, it's more than the trillion euros impulse, as well as for russia in 2020 for its oil and gas revenues increased by over a quarter, despite the pressure from sanctions. the total at revenues of most of those federal budget are projected to go by 12 percent in 2025 compared to last year, which is also a 5th more than expected. at the same time, orland gas revenues may con for a record low percentage of the total budget this year. that's due to the

diversification of government revenue sources which makes the country's economy more stable in the long run. nevertheless, russia is also continuing to diversify export markets for its natural resources steadily turning to beast and global side. while for more on this, let's welcome on to the program global policy institute senior research fellow george zamarelli george good, the senior. we talk there about a senior us figure believing moscow has lost the european energy market at for good . it makes good headlines. but, but is it actually true because you have companies like slovakia hungry where you are trying to resume the transitive rushing gas club. the situation change, give them energy security, such a concern for many use states. where are we, what's the state of play? well, the 1st thing the, what has to point out that this person, jeffrey piatt, is of, goes and alone. those of the who the my done cool of 2014,

he was the us and bass of that the ukraine of the time. and of course he was the one who had that to that conversation with assistant secretary of state, victoria newland, in which they plotted who would be in the cool government. that's the one with the yachts. yachts is the guy and, and that's the, the thoughts of anything he says has to be already taken with the lodge though. so, so, because you're absolutely right, that many countries in europe are suffering precisely because, um, they being denied that a cheap source of energy. and of course, he lies the game when he claims that somehow russia was using energy as a weapon. now, never in his history, neither of the soviet union know the russian federation of that have use iraq energy as a weapon against anyone who likes

a boat. the soviet union or russia have been amazingly reliable energy produces. so the only person who's using energy as a weapon has been the europeans, and that's what they have done. they basically, they've sanctioned boil, their sanctioned coal and lives lot of science and gas. the public really never go to look in on any of this. and there we go, suffering the consequences. i mean we have germany which is really, you know, it's economies in the doldrums because it's having to pay a little bit and prices for its energy. and then of course you have slovakia which is in some trouble because it was relying on this uh transit agreements through ukraine now sofa. the slovak you uh um is, is the is making do because it's getting uh, gas through the,

the touch screen pipeline. so in other words, it's still gas coming from russia. so again, biased these lines to say that there's no gas coming from russia. there's, there is gas coming from pressure, the gas coming through the touch screen. and then through the trans bolcom, a pipeline is going to uh, slovak, yet it's going to a hungry, it's going to australia. so their number of european countries are indeed reliance on, on russian gas. and that we're seeing what's happening in mold over the serious, serious suffering and mold over as a result of the landscape. nothing of this uh, this transit agreement. and guess from what you, lee, i there makes it really interesting up the slovak prime minister and tends to meet some other mirrors zalinski soon. and what could the, i come up that meeting be, what do you think's going to be to the forefront of what brought to solve as seeking their as well. i don't know though this meeting is going to take place. the

problem. it will be um that i think is the landscape will offer um fits so uh some kind of an agreement web i, he will provide um he will allow, uh about 25 percent of the gas that was, that was coming to us of like, you know, through en route, so he will, one from slovakia, obviously support for nato membership support for e u. membership and general support for the sanctions policy against russia. i don't think fits so there's got to take the deal, but i think that's what zalinski wants to do, which is essentially a black male fits so into changing his policy kind of goes back was the reason really for uh the landscape cutting off this. um the supply of gas because you wanted to pressure um slovakia but he also wanted to apply the pressure against um

transmit street in moldova. because again, those of us this real serious a suffering that and he's hoping to use that, that mold over will then from, you know, you use this a crisis in order to an x. so transistor you, we just have a 32nd step, but i want to get your thoughts briefly. if you cut on donald trump's plans, the double, it's l n g exports during his presidency. how easy is that going to be for, for washington to implement that scenario. our european citizens are, go, are they going to be well not happy, at least, but will they pay significantly more for their gas? and will that be going on for a while or well it's, they probably will have to, because i think trump will indeed apply this kind of pressure. the problem for the europeans is that now they are really dependent on a, an energy supply us. so after all the tool, oh, don't get yourself depended on russia. very, very dangerous to get yourself dependent on russia. now you're going to be dependent on the united states so, so it's like you,

you had wells that provided you with fresh water. you close the wells and you say, oh, it doesn't matter. we're going to get buckled water and he's going to be provided to us by the united states. and i'm sure the americans are gonna provide us with lots and lots of bubble water. and of course, that's not going to happen, and it's a very, very dangerous when you start relying upon the united states, which often has kind of its own, which it does not correspond with europeans, the agenda towards 1000 to that at a later day. thanks. so much for your time today, the global policy institute senior research fellow george samuel really think you'd like to know when you think of nazi counts during world war 2. it's those in poland beller route switch 10 to spring to mind. but next in a torres force, labor children's comp and norway, after documentary teams focused $33.00 angel begins the.
