the, the good is how mos release this for id of soldiers and the 2nd prisoners swamp of the ceasefire now underway. $200.00 captive palestinians that are part of the deal will be freed later today. i cannot but agree with from that if he'd been elected president, if his victory not been stolen from him in 2020, then perhaps they would not have been the crisis in ukraine that arose back in 2022 businesslike and pragmatic. that's how a lot of her pregnancies has relationship with donald trump. the rest and later also says it was still bite and not him who refused to talk business and politics, including the ukraine and crisis. and as tens of thousands protests

the government in protest lava, the slow vice prime minister says, for an actors are using well known play books to destabilize the country. i will mention it as part of a textbook example of how unruly governments are eliminated. governments that have no problem telling the ukrainian president, he said, we will not be blackmailed by him. the i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. you're watching r t international. we're bringing to the top new stories from around the worlds. we begin with breaking news in gaza, where a prisoner exchange between israel and the mos is underway. mos has released for female idea of soldiers as $200.00 policy and in captives wait to be set free. this is the 2nd phase of the seas fired deal that came into effect last weekend. our 2 middle east bureau chief maria, from ocean that has all the details. the actual moment of exchange thing to happen

naturally. after $477.00 days and get to the t full i. d f, a female observers. old young women aged between 19 and 20 half pre released by him of an art finally on their way home. they were among the hostages taking from and is reading military base at the board to with guys on october 7, 2023, a launch crowd, all from us and palestinian islamic jihad fighters gather tax exchange location in the gallons a stoop to would miss the release every monday, which is a victory for them. i'm off made the goals where military uniforms before handing them over to the red cross. and from there, the girls have been transformed into these really all, i mean the is now confirming that the oil for went on with them and then they will be sent to hospitals where they will soon re nights with their families. an emotional moments the relatives have been waiting for for over a year. the well,

the 2nd way is we will have most present or exchange didn't happen without complications from us. failed to meet its obligations. to 1st release is really female civilian hostages. as part of the agreement, we appreciate and thank the efforts of all the international mediators, united states. the cuts are in egypt, and we expect them to make sure come us stands in accordance with the agreement. off has repulsively spit out the release of soldiers likely because they secure a high present exchange. ratty of 50 palestinian prisoners h as rarely, soldiers, and other possible reasons. some civilian hostages may be in the hands of palestinian islamic jihad another does a vase. milton coupon have must, might not even know the exact locations but despises of visit rituals. the deal is real, has indicated it will not the rail. the agreement, however,

the code also required for israel. we open it, and that's how room corey. there were splitting the employees in to, off to only off to all civilian of the keys were afraid. and this was supposed to happen on the 7th day since this is the idea of has early a warrant gathered residents against moving north side to the extreme danger. so then the 3rd quarter is not open now and the displays gases are not allowed to move on to all civilian hostages. all freight. i'm going to say this is likely israel's way of penalize. we have multiple not sticking to the turns we will also abrasions are being prepared to call suits really tell of these hostages square a large screens or reading to gross cost to really live the entire country. is gary not full. what's being called a nationwide celebration on sunday, mazda is also expected to submit another list of hostages. this time, the names of the remaining 26 captives set to be read in this initial phase of the

deal. that please to also confirm the status whether they're alive or not, that jesus, as a mother, that's her child is going to stay in cook cvt. i don't know for how long is it mixed feelings this morning because i am happy. those, those families that are going to see their children back home, but i am more worried that my son will remain and we won't be able to achieve a 2nd stage to these feel. so i'm very terrified. done be, i mean there are elements in the government who are doing everything in their power to torpedo. the 2nd phase, while influencing public awareness and the israeli diaspora returning to fighting that will endanger the kidnapped and our heroic soldiers. all the senior officials say the deals collapse means a death sentence for everyone left behind. well now when it's ready, hostages, now great attention shifts to the pallet to the release of probably student

prisoners. 200 people who released an exchange for full is really soldiers and one of them, 120 individuals convicted of taylor, is really as many so with multiple large sentences from 20 to 2 large sentences, 70 of these prisoners labeled heavy weights will be deported. to foreign countries for p l during to news that have early confirmed, they are ready to welcome them. 16 will return to dogs of all the rest will be sent home to be occupied. westbank and is russo in the prison. the release is set to take place at 2 main facilities from also freeze and not far from ramallah, where we are now. they will be transported by boss to a nearby check point where they will be handed over to the listing of us or t for a celebration in ramallah, where the families of the relatives and the friends of the father soon for you guys will be waiting for them all there is, will be released from and the tourist prison in the negative desert, and famous for his harsh conditions and allegations of present or miss treatment during the foreign exchange. last week i took is really around 9 hours to release

all inmates off days. really hostages for release. how long will it take this time? it's really hard to say. we have to wait and see this, this release has already as far significance, backlash concerns a mountain, a man's railings and protests, a plan for tonight in jerusalem as right when groups are expected to voice the end or the government opposing the release off prisoners, they believe pays a serious security threat for the country back to the spite they agreed sees for the idea of continues to operate in the gaza strip. it's justified these actions by claiming that it's only eliminating threats to the jewish state of the video circulating on line for part of ladies. so this is rarely tanks, opening fire on a group of palestinians in the southern city of rough up. the idea of has warned it

will take necessary actions if approach. you heard from guys, a civil defense spokesman. my food buys all. he says the enclave is relative. home has not made their work any less challenging. a lot can has the law as of now there are no recorded ceasefire violations except for ongoing shooting incidents, targeting civilians in southern rough um with and the recent attacks following the ceasefire announcement. the immediate impact was not direct. however, our ability to respond was severely compromised. and that the bodies were left for nearly 2 days and yet, and we could not retrieve them. now this is a clear violation of international humanitarian law and conventions, as is really false, is did not allow us to recover the bodies to handle them with dignity. one of the most grueling tasks now is retrieving bodies from under the rubble here the, this is not just physically demanding, but also psychologically devastating. the families cannot have peace while their loved ones remain under the debris and buried and on recovered often even more than

10000 victims of trapped under the rubble hold on. in the following, b is really ground invasion in northern gauze. the situation has worse and significantly and the numbers are even higher. upon reaching northern gaza, we were shocked to find it had been reduced to nothing but piles of rubble. it is nearly impossible to recover bodies without heavy machinery either. it could take a year, or it could take 100 years. if the is really occupation of the international community do not permit the entry of heavy machinery. that when i say heavy machinery, i am not talking about a few units. i am talking about hundreds of machines that need to enter gaza to start this process. on friday, palestinians gathered inside damaged mosques all across the enclave for their 1st fare services. since the truth take 10 children were seen climbing through the collapse minarets of news. everett refugee camp as worshippers in hon, eunice, afraid among the ruins of their homes. in the last year alone,

idea of attacks have destroyed $800.00 of guys of mosques, that according to local authorities regardless as it passed to recovery might be further jeopardized by israel's decision to to shudder the human relief and works agency which many palestinian refugees depend on both in the enclave and in the west bank on raw, has been told to abandon is jerusalem premises by january 30th. the band follows the accusations that some of its members are affiliated with a moss or the palestinian jihad agencies. general commissioners says this step further undermines the already fragile cease fire. preventing unable to operate might sabotaged the gods of ceasefire. failing once again, hopes of people who have gone through on speaker both suffering only in the 1st 3 days of the ceasefire on what brought in food for a 1000000 people. the ceasefire is a window of hope. the work of under wall must continue and gauze a plus across the occupied palestinian territory to the owner. well,

by itself is there what the mission of the flight of the palestinian peak? it's a remind daily reminder to the world that there are millions of past city and refugees that now the white, according to the united nation resolutions, according to the international law, have the right to return to their homes. but this data is real, it prohibits them by force, terror violent, not to. so israel with the, with the, with the fashion. so premises mentality built on the 3 and 4000 year old tax does not allow for this the agency to continue. not only it has issue oh that is outside it's jurisdiction of it's a mess. it goes. this law pertains to the occupied territories of 1967 jerusalem.

the rest of the rest, the west bank and gaza, which is outside the sovereignty of the state of israel. and the stuff is not only because of this law, although it has been submitted to re target not only to the siege and preventing ottawa from working, not by resting on or why not by the smearing campaigns that are led by uh, israel and its affiliates. and um, partners in the general side in garza, but also by direct is quite to its headquarters by the by snipers killing its workers. and i'm volunteers, bike is doing, but every possible way it's humanitarian operation is 02, it's genocide talking to an owner. what and other practices is bringing the old? where do we would war to framework of operating where beach phone and able can simply kill, destroy, commit genocide and click lensing. i put that in a way,

shape they, they want because they simply den the presidential elections in battle. roots are on sunday, but as people get ready to head to the pools, there are concerns over interference from abroad. the foreign minister in men's kaz accused in brussels, of waiting into his sovereign affairs and of already laying the ground to discredit the results. if the wrong candidate wins, one of the hot topics of recent days is the participation of the international observers and the assessments made by the you in the face of the european parliament and the u. x journal relations service. and by the individual parliaments of our neighbors, latvia, and poland, the tax of the relevant decisions on non recognition of the elections have already been published. this is of course, a direct interference in our internal issues and attempt to put pressure on our voters and the distortion of the electoral processes that are currently underway.

full. it's not very big secret that the european union has prepared the statements on the elections and villa roost so well in advance so well before the process began happening. now the statements condemned and that does not recognize the results of the votes, just like it's been happening for many, many years here in this country. denouncing the ongoing, longstanding great violations of human rights and democratic principles in by the rules which have further intensified in the run up to the so called presidential election on january 26 parliament of the e u. its member states and the international community not to recognize the legitimacy of incumbent dictate to exxon de luca sen, co as president of to the vote. meanwhile, members of the election commission of villa rose began to receive threats. and this is obviously a violation of electrical sovereignty and that's according to the chairman of the central election. the commission here and deliver sag stream is read information

about the private lives and the personal data of more than 10000 locals who work as observers. and the commission members hearing is this presidential election. so one of the big question here is, uh, where is the white house? where is washington the don't as well? washington has made a march here as well by denouncing the elections and villa routes which are shipped to and the funds back here though. uh, the united states, the state department villages blinking says statements on not a recognition of the presidential election and deliveries from its official website is no longer there. check it out. the routes has certainly reacted very sharply to the european and us statements, according to both the central election committee and the countries foreign ministry as well. so we have these deals. the presidential elections in bella roots are

taking place in the interests of our people in the interests of our country. and no one will be allowed to interfere with our sovereign right to hold elections in accordance with our legislation for the inside. seated group put on, grabbed the initiative of a group of engaged in deputies a debate on the draft resolution of the european parliament regarding the elections and the republic of bella roost is planned already at this stage. even though it is obvious that the project is a gross interference in the electoral process of a sovereign state has nothing to do with the real state of affairs, and is designed to put pressure on the free expression of the will. the fellow russian citizens are what easy of elections and bella roost have just begun and everything has already been condemned or not recognized by your own. yeah, this is unacceptable to soften bela really you don't go easy. all right, but we have that openness me that a little section from the paper written by the parliamentarians. have that the in any office steps, any rumblings to try and well as better as, as discredit the upcoming election. well, according to the european union,

the russian elections are at sole sole sharing something they've been saying for years. and it's nothing you take and listen to the spokes person on for an affair from the you need to cooper. this is an exercise that is totally on democratic. these elections are a total sham. it is not elections if you already know who is going to when we are calling on the authorities to release all people facing repression. when it comes to our support for the bill. region people, we have adopted a package of 30000000 euros in support of the civil society. this brings our total use support to 170000000 euros mobilized since 2020. meanwhile, as a drop off the economic form of loaners here. and also who select the country pass for uh, illusion or sort of on my order to use to this this perfectly summarizes and shows people like piano,

nothing thinks in the dates of foods and, and see how you guys present in the doubles as an educator in itself take it, let's move on the loose not only as a problem, but there's an opportunity to put pressure on which and as well because bill arose with our consolidated society. that is the price not yes, with the costs of refreshments, but it is the weakest points for pollution is the weakest, gentle chain you know, for, for to so through help in the sense to gain our culture back, you know, to, to retain democracy in the billows. it will be the biggest functions on fortune era . now in addition to the elections, the west also wanted to undermine the sags. all of those 5 minutes remains alexandra, vault footage. who is the secretary of republics. the security council said that a military sabotaged framing for radicals is currently underway in ukraine. and

a special sensor has also been set off in poland in order to trade minutes and sell their task to capture boarder regence of the rooms with the help of the miller washed next phoebus. now all this show that soul, the forces of a european union are focused on weakening the russian federation and its allies through any of the things they can even through peoples elections. blanket wrap it and it says the conflict and ukraine could have been avoided if the 2020 us presidential election had not been quote, stolen from donald trump. a suit. and because the pressure has never refused to have contacts with the us administration. and it is not our fault of the previous administration refuse these contacts with the current you as president. i've always had business like, exclusively business like, but at the same time, pragmatic relations and for us vague. and i would say, i cannot but agree with from that if he's been elected president,

if his victory and not been stolen from him in 2020, then perhaps they would not have been the crisis and ukraine's that a rose back in 2022. the russian president also weighed in on his us counterparts, race and threats to impose new sanctions on moscow if it doesn't play ball with give well, considering this decision would actually inflict more damage on washington itself, certain things to move is unlikely. he also questions the very prospect of talks with the train for as long as it's found on negotiation with the criminal leadership remains in place just to chic low. it usually with the current head of the regime in see if, when he was still a fairly legitimate head of state issued a decree binding negotiations. how can negotiations be resumed? now, if that band is negotiations begin within the current regulatory framework, they will be strictly speaking illegitimate. and this means that the results of these negotiations can also be declared a legitimate guitar and raised the main key of excuse. the simplicity of expression

is happily doubling up hundreds of millions of dollars, but it is in no hurry to follow the instructions of its bones. as we know that such instructions exist to cancel the decree binding negotiations. but i think that in the end, as you pay the money to still false, keep to do this until this decree is cancelled. is quite difficult to talk about the fact that they can be stopped the most importantly finished properly. and never of the last. there are 2nd else from both the white house and the kremlin that talks are imminent and they seem to be putting kids on edge in response to all these rumors bottom are as low as it has suggested, that donald trump will only end up being manipulated by moscow the previous so i held a briefing today. there are a few questions. the report is specifically from the head of the foreign intelligence service regarding military potential and pollutants readiness to continue the war while manipulating world leaders in particular. he seeks to exploit to the us presidents desire to achieve peace, a man,

i am confident that no russian manipulations will succeed any longer. serbian institute, the very paying studies research, esteban guy edge believes rush, i won't given and she, when it comes to a security interest, the author, it's on the, on the elections, the opportunity for and let's say backdoor diplomacy. uh, which is a normal thing in doing conflicts appeared. so i think that there might be some kind of negotiation to negotiations behind the scenes. but the, uh, the positions of, uh, a rush side of natal are too far away. they're very much apart. i think that's maybe a trump's organization is seeking to find some kind of a career scenario for ukraine in order uh for them to concentrate on other fronts. and i think that moscow read through this and it doesn't want any kind of solution

that will be a half measured, it would not solve the main problem. and the main problem is not even the great, but also we have to see the internal components over all this in the united states because the cash flow found the future um the rector of f. b. i says, let's see what happened with the donations with amelia, 38 that was already sent to your brain because there are some serious allegations that there was a major corruption task of weapons selling youth on the 3rd markets and so on. so that is why i think that somebody's tracer wants to really see what was going on so far. and then maybe from that point on uh to, to think on about the possibility of future involvement. the less than a week into the trump presidency and the world map is already being rewritten. the gulf of mexico is officially now the gulf of america,

at least according to the us president and one of his newly assigned executive orders. but while trump is adamant that he's only writing a historical wrong, the move has not been welcomed by washington's southern neighbors. the department of the interior is proud to announce the implementation of name restorations that honor the legacy of american greatness. as directed by the president, the gulf of mexico will now officially be known as the gulf of america. for us is still the gulf of mexico for the whole world, it will continue to be the gulf of mexico, his hand, or r t is donald carter, has been taking a look at what the u. s. has in store for its so called back yard and how those plans are actually pushing latin america ever closer to russia. changing the name of a body of water is one thing, but trumps even send navy seals to the southern border and suggested sending the us military to mexico to liquidate the drug. cartels which the us president has

designated terrorist organizations. this is actually an executive order designating the cartels and other organizations to be 4 and terrorist organizations. this or people have wanted to do this for years. so they are now designated is terrorist organizations foreign. and mexico probably doesn't want that. but we have to do here what happens stranger things have happened. land grabs and troop deployments might sound extreme, but that's not all the us presidents also pens on implementing 100 percent tire of sun bricks, countries. we require a commitment from these countries that they will neither create a new bricks,

currency, nor back any other currency to replace the mighty us dollar. or they will face 100 percent tariffs and should expect to say good bye to selling into the wonderful us economy. for sales, specifically is set to be at odds with the united states, which pulled out of the powers climate agreement has brazilian prepares to host 2025 un climate change conference that's not to mention. trump invited jared ball so narrow to his inauguration, the arch political arrival of incumbent brazilian president lula desilva. even before he returned to the white house, trump said the panama canal is returning to us, hans, and above all, china is operating the panama canal, and we didn't give it to china. we gave it to panama, and we're taking it back. of course the panama canal already belongs to well, panama and the country is president jose moreno, didn't really like trump idea. congratulations. mr. trump. the to,

to be to the channel is and will remain under panama and the administration of the canal will remain under panamanian control for the rest of latin america. this was a big red flag after all, if the us can just lay claim to the panama canal. what else can they say is there? i did the mean there is our solidarity with the president of panama, who came out very quickly to say the panama canal belongs to the panamanians. and in fact, the panama canal does belong to the panamanians. until the very end, i will be on the side of panama and the defense of its sovereignty. if the new u. s. government wants to talk business, we will talk business face to face and for the benefit of our people, but dignity will never be negotiated. venezuela reiterates its support for panama sovereignty over the canal, and it's inalienable right to self determination. no way. trump could've forgotten about venezuela, the same country where he tried to over throw the governments during his 1st term.

these freedom fighters should not be harmed and must stay safe and to live. the west president could very well be going down that road once again, as he says, washington is likely going to stop buying oil from caracas altogether. we're looking at venezuela very strongly. it's a big country, i know very well for a lot of reasons and it's why it was a great country 20 years ago. now it's a mess. i wanted to find out about that because we're going to probably stop by miles from that as well. we don't need to be, but we don't want to buy, we don't have to buy 0, we have plenty of oil for us. so that will change that as well. a quite a bit. then there's cuba, it was removed from the us is list of state sponsors of terror under joe biden, only now to be reinstated under trump. revocation of orders and actions. the

following executive actions are here by revoked the presidential memorandum of january 14th 2025 certification of rescission of cubans designation as a state sponsor of terrorism. here was already been dealing with a crippling us embargoes since the 1950s. so naturally the government, there was not very happy to have even more on its plate. president trump, in an act of arrogance and disregard for the truth, has just reinstated the fraudulent designation of cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism. this is not surprising. his goal is to continue strengthening the cruel economic war against cuba for the purpose of domination, but as the trumpet, ministration lois's friends and fails to influence people in latin america. russia's filling the vacuum, brazil's taking a leading role and breaks with cuba and bolivia. having joined the groups rang, says partners in the last few days of the russian bricks, presidency, bella, roost, bolivia, catholic, stan, cuba, malaysia,

thailand. you got and whose becca stand in. nigeria were announced as partner countries of the group as of january 1st, 2025 for his part van, as well as president nicholas, venturo, fact rushes for administer for backing caracas against us imperialism. on behalf of the president nicholas madura, we expressed our sincere gratitude to the minister of foreign affairs of the russian federation, sergey lab roth for his firm and forceful message against the colonialist attitude of the united states and its allies. his statement highlights the unacceptable imposition of public presidents and nations that defend software and anti imperialist projects. no doubt moscow's been getting closer with latin america. as of late, the russian federation councils been highlighting just how strong relations with cuba are. well, mexico recently congratulated russia on the 100 and 25th anniversary of their diplomatic relations. at the same time. moscow criticized drums comments over.
