the, the breaking news israel released as the 1st group out of $200.00 apollo, sent in prisoners, that to be freed throughout the day. the smallest, the return of the 4 idea of soldiers by hamas as part of the ongoing it's police fire agreements. i cannot but agree with trump that if he'd be an elective president, if he's victory and not been stolen from him in 2020, then perhaps they would not have been the crisis in ukraine that arose back in 2022 business like and pragmatic. that's what i put in this relationship with donald trump. the rest of liter also says it was still by the not him who refused to talk business and politics, including the ukraine prices. and donald trump's 1st week and office on settled latin america. we take a closer look at what's driving washington,

so called back yard ever closer to russia. as the new us president threatens bricks, countries with terrorist indonesia reaffirms blocks, the ability to insure a global stability and cooperation the from our headquarters. in moscow, you're watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble. we begin with breaking news in gaza. we're a prisoner exchange between israel and thomas is underway. and loss has released for female idea of soldiers as their israel release is the 1st group of palestinian prisoners out of $200.00 captives, which are to be free. today are the middle east bureau chief maria, from ocean. it brings us this update. the actual moment of exchange thing to happen naturally up to 477 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 mosse. they were him on the hostages taking from and his reading military base at the boulder with guys on october 7, 2023, a large crowd, all from us and palestinian islamic jihad fighters gather tax exchange location in the gaza strip. to witness the release every monday, which is a victory for them. i'm off made the goals where military uniform was before handing them over to the red cross. and from there, the girls have been transformed into these really ami the is now confirming that they are all for women with them and then they will be sense to hospitals. the 2nd wave of the israel have mosque prisoner exchange didn't happen without complications from us. failed to meet its complications. to 1st release is really female civilian hostages. as part of the agreement, we appreciate and thank the efforts of all international mediators, united states. the cats are in egypt and we expect them to make sure

come on stands in accordance with the agreement. has reportedly split up the release of soldiers likely because they secure a high present exchange, rat t o 50 palestinian prisoners h as rarely, soldier and other possible reasons. some civilian hostages may be in the hands of palestinian islamic jihad, another guy is a base. milton group on how much might not even know the exact locations, but despises or visit rituals. the deal is real, has indicated it will not the rail. the agreement, however, the cold also required the israel. we open the and that's a 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 2nd day since in business. 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 display gases are not allowed to move

on to all civilian hostages. are afraid analysts say this is likely israel's way of penalize. we have multiple not sticking to the terms we do. also impressions are being prepared across these really telling these hostages square a large screens are reading too gross costs to really live the entire country. is gary, not full. what's being called a nationwide celebration on such a day. have mazda is also expected to submit another list of hostages, this time, the names of the remaining $26.00 captive set to be freed. and this initial phase of the deal, that please to also confirm the status, whether they're alive or not. 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. so those the 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 as riley 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 things really hostages, now read attention shifts to the pallet to the release of probably student prisoners, 200 people who believe and exchange for full is really soldiers. and one of them, 120 individuals convicted of taylor, is really as many so with multiple lives sentences from 20 to 2 lives. sentences 70 of these prisoners labeled heavy weights will be deported to foreign countries. for p l g. we're going to need to have early confirmed, they are ready to welcome them. 16 will return to gauze of all the rest will be sent home to be occupied, westbank and is ruth,

when you're in the forest exchange. last week i took is really around 9 hours to release all inmates of today's really hostages were released. how long will it take this time? it's really hard to say we have to, i can see this, this release has already a spark significance. backlash concerns amount of newman'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 of prisoners, they believe posed a serious security threat for the country back to you. well, despite the agree to see sort of the idea of continues to operate in the gaza strip, it's justified these actions by claiming is only and then eliminating threats to the jewish state. the video circulating on line for part of the shows 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 if necessary, actions. if approached on friday, palestinians gathered inside damaged mosques all across the entree for their 1st her services. since the truth kicked in, children were, seems climbing it to the collapse minarets of news era refugee camp as worshippers in con unice freight among the ruins of their homes. and the last year alone, idea of attacks have destroyed $800.00 of gods as mos, that's according to local authorities. although as a pass to recovery might be further jeopardized by israel's decision to close the un release and works agency which many palestinian refugees depend on both in the enclave and in the west bank on route has been told to a band and its tourism of location by january 30th, the band follows accusations that some of its members are affiliated with, some us or the palestinian jihad. the agencies general commissioner says this step further undermines the already fragile cease fire. preventing unable to operate

might sabotaged the gods of cease fire. 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 plaza across the occupied palestinian territory to the owner. well, by itself is there what the mission of the flights 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 because this law pertains to the occupied territories of 1967 jews on the rest of the rest, the west bank and gaza, which is outside the sovereignty of the state of israel. and the sofa is not only because of this law, although it has been submitted to re target not only to the siege and preventing otherwise from working, not by resting on or why not by the smearing campaigns that are led by uh, israel and its affiliates. and complicit partners in the genocide in gaza, but also by direct is price to its headquarters by the by snipers killing

its workers. and i'm going to use bike is doing but every possible way it's humanitarian operation is 0. 2, it's genocide targeted on or what and other practices is bringing the whole world world war to framework of operating where it beach form and a bowl game. simply to destroy commit genocide, actually cleansing, i put that in a way, shape they, they want because they simply can i mean growing anti western sentiments in africa. a decorated i've orient, veteran shares what it was like for the africans who were forced to fight for their colonizers causes. the 1st feeling i had was one of her, uh, the blood spilt on the battlefield for a cause that initially was not ours. we young africans from the former french calling. these were part of the senegalese alton, the recall recruitment and mobilization in the colonies occurred in 2 ways. through

volunteering west, i'm africans volunteered for economical social reasons and forced conscription practiced under the pressure of the colonial authorities on december 1st 1944 history will remember the tragedy of the c. a roy massa. this event remains a stain on the fronts his conscience, as it symbolizes the injustice. i'm systematic violence inflicted upon the african soldiers by the colonial administration. it is necessary to move beyond the desire for morality. d. classify the archives concerning these tragedies. the se ariah massacre was one of the bloodiest in senegalese, history. french troops slaughtered up to 400 african infantry men returning from the front of the 2nd world war. well, the same court font in france's 1st indo china war, which saw over 5000 of them killed. but as the colonial era came to a close, paris swiftly began promoting a reproach mon policy, as well as the turn of the century. thousands of french troops have been deployed

to africa to counter terrorism on the continents. a recent years have brought about a significant shift of several african countries, distance themselves from the west, chad new share, malia and burkina faso have already expelled french troops, accusing western peacekeeping missions of trugreen, a wave of violence. the ivory coast has joined to this trend, ordering france to withdraw its remaining forces. i should have called the my did compatriots. we can be proud of our ami, whose modernization is now effective. it is in this context that we have decided on the concerted and organized withdrawal of french forces from code want to 40, so it'd be ma camp, the marine infantry battalion and pulled away will be headed back to the code. it was forces in january 2025 to mark this new stage and the life of the army. as african states turned the page on their post colonial relationship with paris, ivory and veteran, yes,

single pony hopes. human stories are kept at the heart of its legacy. i am proud to afford for friends, i believed in the values and freedoms upheld by firms during official commemorations of the 2 world wars. the french political class has consistently praised africa's immense contribution to the liberation of funds. this is what i choose to remember and pass on to future generations. indeed, often the long injustice related to the freezing and crystallization of the passions of the 2. are you president chirac aligned the rights of africans with those of french soldiers? i would tell president macro on to expand upon the actions initiated by his previous s is in favor of building universal for tennessee, which is essential for the pacification of the world through a duty of memory entries about history. above all. what must be preserved in the relations between france and africa is the historical legacy. the human being must be at the center of the entire development process, as there is no progress or development without respect for humanity. the

bottom of it and says the conflict a new train could have been avoided if the 2020 us presidential election had not been quote, stolen from donald trump soon 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 us president. i've always had business like, exclusively business like, but at the same time, pragmatic relations. and for us being, i would say, i cannot but agree with from that if he's been elected president, if he's victory and not been stolen from him in 2020, then perhaps they would not have been the crisis in ukraine that arose back in 2022 so the russian president also weighed in on his us counterparts. recent threats to impose new sanctions on moscow if it doesn't play ball with a key of considering the decision, what actions like more damage on washington itself. certain things to move is

unlikely. he also questions the very prospect of talks with ukraine for as long as in san a negotiation with the prevalence of leadership remains in place and used to shoot global 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 kind of 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 illegitimate to the current regime in kia, 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 funds as. and we know that such instructions exist to cancel the decree binding negotiations, but i think, but in the end, as you pay the money to still force, keep to do this until this decree is cancelled. is quite difficult to talk about the fact that they can be stopped data and most importantly finished properly. and

never the less. there are signals from both the white house and the criminal and that talks are imminence. and they seem to be putting kids on edge in response to all these rumors. bladder zalinski 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. i am confident that no russian manipulations will succeed any longer surveying institute of therapy and studies researchers devonne guy. it says russia won't given end when it comes to a security interest. the author, it's on the, on the elections. the opportunity for uh, 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 rough shine of natal are too far away. they're very much uh apart. i think that maybe um trumps organization is seeking to find some kind of a korea 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 that would not solve the main problem. and the main problem is not even the great, but also we have to see the internal components of report about this in the united states because the cash flow found the future. um they rector of f. b i size. let's see what happened with their donations with the mini 38 that was already sent to

ukraine because there are some serious allegations that there was a major corruption task of weapons selling get on the 3rd markets and so on. so that is why i think that the trumpet, his tracer wants to really see what was going on so far. and then maybe from that point to on uh, to, to think on about the possibility of future involvement. less than a week into the trump presidency. and the world map is already being rewritten. the gulf of mexico is officially the gulf of america. but at least according to the u. s. president on 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 and after the whole world it will continue to be the gulf of mexico. so to so you can see in the are to is donald carter has been taking a look at what the u. s. has in store for its so called backyard and how those times 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. sir, people have wanted to do this for years. so they are now designated to establish organizations, foreign, and mexico probably doesn't want that. but we have to do

here. what do you think about what happens? stranger things have happened. land grabs and trip deployments might sound extreme, but that's not all the us presidents also pens on the implementing 100 percent tire of sun bricks, countries. we require a commitment from these countries that they will neither create a new bricks, currency, know back any other currency to replace the mighty us dollar. or they will face 100 percent tariffs. and she would 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 brazil and prepares to host 2025. un climate change conference that's not to mention, trump invited, gera,

bolton arrow to his inauguration, the arch political rival, little bit 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 all ready belongs to well, panama and the country as president jose moreno didn't really like trump's idea. congratulations, mr. trump. the institute for the 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 of us can just lay claim to the panama canal. what else can they say is there? 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 government's 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 iraq us 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'll 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 rushes, filling the vacuum for sales, 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, ruth, bolivia, catholic, stan, cuba, malaysia, thailand you got and who's becca, stan and i g area 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 president nicholas madura, we expressed our sincere gratitude to the minister of foreign affairs of the

russian federation, sergey lumber, off 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, but defend software and anti imperialist projects. no doubt, boss scouts 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 the panama canal. as for transfer several days in office, we've clearly gotten a close look at how the us presidents orientation towards latin america will look for the next 4 years. but as long as ross is in the picture, there's no way the consonant will have to go at it alone. well, donald trump pressure is latin american members of breaks. the global south,

part of the block is quickly gaining influence. then the nation president has highlighted the importance to jakarta of joining india continues to champion south south corporation and to meet the voice of the global house. and therefore, we also would like to things in the for supporting our permanent membership in bricks we have when we are convinced that this corporation would be beneficial to global stability and the regional cooperation a hi in the nation has membership took effect january 1st and its leader met with his indian counterpart in new delhi to sign a series of cooperative agreements. uganda is another new brakes affiliate which joined as a partner country this year. local business experts have praised the blocks benefits most ingesting us presidents latest attempts to tax breaks. states could

sugar reactions he never intended, and i think for you going to, it's not necessarily the, the dollar laser right vision for you guys to is the benefits we get from this country of benefits which have sustained for a long period. who, being trading in, you know, in the dollar, but i could so much benefit from this countries more than perhaps we have had from, from the us for you guys. and i've been talking to the small one for the benefit that has come with walking with those countries which are the core members of the brakes. is a really fighting the dollar increasing on piece. looking forward to that piece for the store. that has been whipple nice to push that deal, pretty square interest of yours, funeral cut, the confiscation on 3 sides of prussia, which is unprecedented. the cause of the country is to look diversifying over from the same fucking, that'd be good fit to the us still isn't that weeks,

countries and that decision to create even for 10 items. it's that you will see loophole nice on to construct too much that i that is unsustainable and to use the us by to each brought to you a political emissions illegal mining activities that have plagued the been known area of south africa for years or in the cross hairs of local police who have joined forces with the department of minerals and energy to identify and seal the listed shots for the area surrounding but donate near johannesburg is a patchwork of a band and mine shaft said, hinted untapped in gold deposits and attract illegal miners, john footage captures law enforcement and action trying to crack down on the dangerous operations. local is living near these sites,

constantly grapple with safety and environmental concerns. they say they welcome the initiative, but there's a long way to go. but for the situation is fully resolved. this is the reason. yeah . you'll feel every now and again, these explosions, these issues and running across the road. come with the offices. i'm shooting out of the heavy stuff is very disruptive. at the same time, people have been a tech one of these, you call i mean, even the, even the, the gosh. i used to guy in the back here because it used to be sponsors and stuff like that. and even better way to share the pieces of a fossil because some of them coming charnessa isn't going to go away from a week. and then they come back and they hold again and then learn the models that

kind of fun. and so is this going to be the lead safety was since we got to stay with us here on our to international, i'll be back with more news and half an hour. i'll see you then by the i am piano to move a he, uh, the slider, uh, his joke on 7 see, and my truck was county and the republicans. and today we discussed the subject, which is as contentious as, as it is significant. the question of the war in so done on the involvement of many external forces, those forces include the.
