according to the palestinian prisoners office. although 70 of those convicted of the most serious crimes have already been deported to reach at ortiz, middle east correspondent, re if a nurse that has been following developed for now in ramallah as a drop off location where a palestinian prisoners were brought tufts to their release. and ways you can see a massive crowd has gathered to welcome them now ex prisoners. the motions are running high. people walk west in the recent news. they've heard somewhere, some people and then sing. manual cemetery and palace theme flags, most of our relatives dissipating. the return of their loved ones and friends of those relays would also interest ordinary people. that is, they say, and celebration moment for the entire palace seen a nation there is charged with imagination. but joyful freedom of horse makes through sadness. so we're 46000 gallons were killed in 15 months of the war and

this is one big deal. okay. now i think there is another reason or now the. 2 the. c main, the recreation center in a 2nd way of return release the 200 families to new prisoners in exchange for boys raised soldiers who were afraid the earlier on the 2nd time of the 120 individuals convicted of killing these really as many multiple long sentences some 22 to like sentences, but then here to die. so i'm going to all these 200 labels, heavy weights. and what is real calls with blog on the hands will be deported to foreign countries and we heard already from turkey, yales,

your engineers are they all confirmed and they are ready to welcome them. since the roll returned to gaza roll, the rest will be sent home. parent to the okey pod was banging, also is through. so they would have been able to speak to some of the newly released. let's listen to what they have to say about the experience and what they feel right now. i was sentenced to 28 years with somebody is suspended. it's an indescribable feeling beyond words. it's something great beyond expression. may god bless you. when they drag this out and told us that we were about to be released, they said go, go home, go home. i was sentenced to 25 years and served 13 god willing. i want to focus on my home, my mother and my children. i want to make up for the years. they've lost the difficult days. they lived through and the tough circumstances they endured. may god give me the strength to make it up to them always. there's nothing more to say, but thank god, who has blessed us with freedom, how mass actually was supposed to release all civilian hostages,

1st followed by military personnel and several of non comb with tons still remain inconsistency. how, wherever, how mass has reportedly spread out the release of soldiers. that was really sort of just like when, because they secure a higher prisoner exchange rash to your face, to probably assuming prisoners for age is really sold or another possible reason. some civilian hostages may be in the hands or family student is wanting to add another guy. so based on milton grove, mazda simply don't know the exact locations, all these that dictates. a lot of scrawled off her mouse and p. r. j. fighters gathered at the exchange location in the gather street earlier and stuff. are they to witness the release? several, my name is still a super weights. idea of complaints we drove from jobs eventually is viewed by the military move as a victory, a force, a very important moment. these really army was supposed to open the net sarina cory door. this is a line that by the institute,

and that the army now controls to allow displace piaza to return to their homes in the north, but only after all the civilian hostages are really, which is not sure which will suffice to happen on saturday. but as soon as it's not the case, the idea has worn gas of residents against moving no sizing, extreme danger, so that that's are in florida, is not open yet. this is likely israel's way haul from the laws of sanctioning him are not sticking to the terms of the agreement. this relief has always far significant backlash, or one is really is we're complaining that it's fleet involved in series that the attacks against israelis. hayes is a serious security. threats to israel as exchange is just the beginning. in the 1st page, i'm asked to release the 3 hostages, wylie's room phrase 1904 palestinian detainees including 1200, thousands detains during the war. notably those involved in the october 7

mastercard. and also include at the 1st phase will last $42.00 days. and during this stage, negotiations will start about the 2nd phase, but it is still several weeks to go. so we have to wait and see how it plays out. very from ocean. i'm seeing reporting from ramallah well in exchange from us and it over for is really hostages to the red cross. the women arrive back in israel on saturday where they were were united with their families and emotional things. here's our t country, peter roby berman with more a mirror and tell of it hoster square, which is the epicenter for his really protest are free the hostages. they've been in the hostage for more than 470 days. i think is that 476 and this morning, this place was filled with thousands of people clapping cheer and stinging dancing . just ecstatic step to our house and be as far as really sold as where are these

mary all about 19 years old corinne diarrhea, 20 years old and be able to go bow a 20 years old. and i'm a levy 20 years old. they were released in pretty good health. they have now land, they are just moments ago at dylan's and hospitals in television. now let's go to some quotes from matthew miller, former american diplomat, as well as the prime minister and a foreign minister because there were many accusations made that a lot of the hostages had been sexually abuse before officers that came out of captivity today seems to be relatively, okay, we don't know if what their past experience has been, but let's see what these officials have to say. we've obviously seen the reports that em us has committed sexual violence. they've committed rape. we have no reason at all to doubt. those reports from us is not speaking on behalf of the muslim world. and we are asking you to condemn the sexual violence. crimes volumes committed in the name of the most

of them were origin. the hostages were not held in reasonable conditions as some have clipped cynically. claimed children were seriously abused, so it seemed disease that goal she ation did not go without a hick off an actuality. our bill you who a 29 year old woman who is a civilian who was kidnapped was supposed to be released today. and she was in and as a result, she's real as not letting the palestinians cross and that it started him car door to go back north. so i'm us as promised to try to release her during the course of the week to the pallet soon as can go back north. and they claim that she was being held by another as logic. milton agreed, who had to refuse the tool now to release or let's see what the idea of spokesperson has to say about that. the mos failed to meet its complications. to 1st release is rarely female civilian hostages, as part of the agreement, we appreciate. in fact, the efforts of all the international mediators,

united states, guitar and egypt. and we expect them to make sure come on stands in accordance with the agreement. but the that it has made people just happy that for female soldiers have been released and the bids are nightmares and, and for them. and people here are singing and rejoicing. this is robbie berman from television, excitement relief surrounding the return of some of the hostages. though didn't dump in enthusiasm for the weekly anti government protests in tel aviv hundreds took to the streets of the city, demanding the authorities fully implement the ceasefire. deal with him us to get back the remaining 90 hostages, who's not being held for almost 500. protesters, raised pictures of those still captive along with foreigners calling for their safe return. who will be route based? independent journalist david's awaits or is of the view. the apartment good health

of the freed is really hostages calls into question claims of mistreatment in captivity. a good look at the bell as soon as were released from his early prisoners. their situation is far worse than you just by looking up and you can see that there are worse off than when they entered. and these are people who live in under occupation and under siege sold. their situation was bad when they entered to begin with. and i've been some visits to cruise even a few days ago, another video sneaked up the config to the prison. the significant was in the prison. this just shows you the difference between the occupation in the occupied even the videos today, when you saw the release of the for is really captive from gaza. they were smiley. there was some sort of facilities that you saw that hadn't goody bags with them. and none of the claims of israel has made a book true. so it is related,

we call like over and over and over and over again. okay. and anyone it was still for us. the word comes out of israel. the light about the babies. they lied about the children and we went being raised the light about the prison, those thoughts and condition what's being half, what's happening to these, the prisoners. and if you hadn't noticed previous prisoners who or hostages, who has been released, do not allow it to be on the media until days and weeks and months after just because days. so they could agree on a story to tell. because their story and their narrative was very different from the official meeting, was really narrow to the views of 11 on base journalists there. know i know the story to tell you by today slovak, probably minister robert faith, so has double done on his stance that ukraine will never become part of nato. this is key. milk is not your opinion is convinced that if the us president and his administration and stop supporting ukraine, it should be the youth that takes full responsibility for leading the war. and the

extra time i was there at the european council system, when i asked president zalinski whether there could be a piece deal with our school. he said that the agreement is for the week. and we need to continue in the war. it's gotta be, and this is supported by the vast majority of the member states of the european union now to able to escape. but how does the president put in agree with president trump of school, and what will happen to ukraine's that ukraine will never ever be in nato? because he didn't, we came to me and when i listened to the statements of many politicians are unusual . i see that we will also have huge problems with at entering the european you and i was consider, well, just to reiterate, the neutral status of your crane has long been one of the security guarantees. russia has sold or western promises. the key of about a session to the block being until recently a constant lot of mirrors, zalinski recently admitted it's clear his allies had strong them along on not from sure it was not a very transparent policy. at 1st he had, some countries did not support our entry into nato symbols,

and these were simply lies that yes, ukraine will be a nato, a decade has passed. so what i mean ukraine is not in nato and therefore it was dishonest towards ukraine and ukrainians. and it was also dishonest from our leaders lies when some of our leaders said, we were promised that we would be in nato city. this was also dishonest. and i believe that germany in the united states had a weak position because they had a dialogue with the russian and ok. you need to agree with german, north, or, and war correspondent, thomas roper say's western leaders dangling nato membership for t of has led to much of the destruction seen since 2022, the due process stuff. it's so much a things to the decision of se lensky to continue fighting for a membership of nato. this was the official goal. this was the reason, or the main reason why at the conference started. this was the narrative for 2 and a half years. for this narrative, you create has the joy, natural, hundreds of thousands to create in died when it is, you know, comes out, sit at,

sorry, no natural, we will be a neutral care states. and then the people. what asked kate, this is something you could have have a, have received already in $22.00, in the beginning, obviously not to nato officials, whether whatever it was. and they told them all in their governments were missed. and congress promised a lot and didn't keep the word. and this is what some of us know repeated, of course key if will not be part of financial. this is a rush as against and nobody in the near to once a world with russia. and there are some companies that have gary and also back here saying this openly. but um, as far as i see from, from use agencies will look at germany and usa, they also against business, what we see in the messages and using the rotors and so on. it's unrealistic that this was the main goal was to we could restaurant, didn't work out, but the narrative to officially narrative what's in that was another one. the

slovak prime minister, essays must protest in the country are being directly influenced and find on spite outside forces. robert feet so also states a significant proportion of the demonstrators are ukrainians calling for his overthrow. hello, dusty. this who? these protests are not 100 percent organized by the opposition to come in because of this mass, as they say, is celebrated by someone else. so it is celebrated by n g o's, funded from abroad, such as piece for ukraine, which is of course, automatically connective to progressive slovak yeah, in terms of personnel. assume that and we have a group of instructors from several countries who are instructing you to make up a story which is keeping them call. people together create fear that the government wants to leave the us. the ukrainian television is running around rally is what i do for ukrainians. are a 3rd of the demonstrator real estate with me in protesting against the slovak government key. and i don't understand why ukrainians have anything to say about this flow that government to associate and then they show on tv and we crane

honeymoon, how dissatisfied ukrainians are in slovakia, any india, any more than that? i was involved in this young of demonstrators playing the prime minister as acting and most was interest when it comes to the ukraine conflict. those raleigh are demanding his resignation. unwanted immediate boost and military and financial support to see a lesser discuss this with head of the vienna based thing. they were off institute alexandra markovich, alexander griffith say you thank you for your time today. a significant proportion of the demonstrators mister fee to save our ukrainians. that's what immediately point side to me is. why would anybody else other than slow bucks have a say in their own country? well um of course they only have from a say in the country of slovakia if it's in the interest of the european union. and of course the incense of big capital factions like black rock. and larry finch was

invested enormous amounts of money in ukraine and to hold for some kind of payback the form of the resources for example. and so therefore, it's no coincidence that um, there was an estimation of times on robot seats on the one hand. and now you can see this um us style um color revolution um taking place in slovakia because of course black rock and so here in union don't once the water ukraine to and spots they wants to continue. it's until the last 2 gradient do you think we're going to see any comment on this any criticism from european leaders given that when certain types or of a legit at outside interference are, are see they're very quick to jump in. do you think this is going to be

a similar story? and i don't think that's the european union. we'll jump in since these protests are in its very interest since. um, if you uh, follow ups, of course the news during the last month. so i'm, you could see that the robot seats, so it has become, besides them, victoria long upon the european states ma'am. which viewed them as the devil himself, in the eyes of the global estimates because both did so and on one's a multiple that was on the one hand. we're also you're going to be more stubborn from the united states of america. i'm not forced um to follow every, all of the global lists on the one hand. and um, you know, secondly it, they also piece and in the time when the west is um, totally um, usually for war and for escalation, ukraine, people like diesel and to talk about and unfortunately listen, everything service,

it seems very short term is in. and in terms of thinking from ukraine, if the are involved in this with, with funding, with organizing protests in slovakia, that's still going to get the slovak people on site. is it? it it's, it's only going to put their box off on and make them angry that i'd side or if they're trying to influence their country. yes, um definitely of course unfortunately also um slovakia is like the most european countries divided and basically in the staples of mental civil war between supporters of globalism and um, support those off sovereignty of multiple adult. and unfortunately, these people are also now use them in order to topple the government off armies defeat. so who's on striving for peace? and as we all know, um your training presidents, savanski and as fast as the allies don't tell us any scruples in

killing members of the opposition in killing even people outside of your crime and staff for this next basement weeks when we come from wherever you travel some fall slovakia and very dangerous. but of course since we all know that this is the fee, so there's a strong man, a price man. i have high hopes that you won't be able to go through sparse. um this is called the revolution process. yeah, indeed, a strong body survive the assassination attempt for for one at just what we see alexander happening in the lights of as the voc here, romania, the f d in germany attempting to be silence. it's becoming more of a common knowledge. see then, the another, why is this the, it's becoming more, more a trend at this in europe, that if it doesn't go the way the main stream wanted to, there's going to be,

there's going to be an issue, a know we have protests at in in slovak slovakia, so is this going to continue or what happens in the future if this just keeps going on and on as well as this is going on and on we will see even further arising tensions insights, european union. we all know that the european union of socks is a highly democratic institution that it's basically willing to, while it's the will of its peoples in order to get for me it's um, totally insane. were some of globalism as well wondering or around the globe and style for this awakening of the people. it's very important that it spreads further and further. so that's, we can end this on democratic european union in order to save europe,

because otherwise, we will end up either in the body war in ukraine or in the body civil war. and europe itself had all viviana based over off inch to think tag mr. alexander markovich, thank you. you're welcome. all right, let's start attention now to offer coward tensions continue to sewer on the dra 01, then border, the un peacekeeping mission. and the democratic republic of the congo has withdrawn some of its personnel from coma in the country to, to what's being described as a worsening security situation. images from the early issue, a smoldering armor un vehicle after it had been hit by m 23 in search. a jump to blend, the supreme commander has given some instructions with the enemy who is attacking us on may the aggressor must be hunted down to that last entrenchment. pushed back file from government and pursued home until they leave the entire national territory. they occupy, it is a duty, it is

a petri. i'll take obligation to what i'm 23 congo least find her is have been steadily advancing towards goma the already occupied a large territory on the border with you've done the lawanda. the conflict has been raging since 2021, driven by the m 23. i'm the legibly with this board for one day and government forces to a galley. however, it denies the claim amid the deteriorating relations between the countries that the r c is now because it's definitely not. um, is demanding. the closure for one does embassy and can shop. within 48 hours. we heard some reaction from locals be here and goma. the situation is becoming more complex every day. as humanitarian, we are trying to fulfill our mission. but how can we do so when bombs explode, and bullets whistle around every street corner? it makes our work almost impossible to go. we left our villages to seek refuge here in goma, and i do not. and yet here too,

and we cannot escape the sound of bombs. we had to flee again, walking through for us to find another sanctuary. but in this situation is tearing us apart on end of our children. no longer have the chance to continue their education because of the lack of resources they fall ill. and the women among us are still coming to disease now. and we keep walking, hoping to escape the danger for journalists from the english language for one the newspaper, the new times, all but ru december, i say, you said after a quarter of a century and the d. r. c, u and peacekeepers up clearly failed in the recent for the last 25 years ever since 1999, the u. n. decided to stay a peacekeeping mission and it was the biggest global own thing. the whole world is the biggest mission that being there for 20 was the 5 year. ready when the motorcycle because that's the name of this uh uh, ration arrived in 1999 that we're so good. i'm good in that region

today. 25 years later we have 218. so there is a super, an incredible stream it from the u. n. and it's, it's been just moving up phone own, i'm thinking motors are as mode that we're getting a tax. it did the same thing. so i don't even see after all of these years. well, we can see that gives us a cheap being beaten by the end of the 3. so i don't think we, we have anything to expect that keeps us out of turning the tie right down the presidential elections and baller roost getting underway on sunday. but as people are prepared to head to the polls, there are concerns over interference from abroad. the foreign ministry in men's cause accused brussels of waiting into it's solver. and the 1st of all ready, in fact, laying the ground to discredit the results at the wrong council that went. 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. darnell relation 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. points, lots of very big secret that the european union has prepared the statements on the elections and delivers, oh, well, in advance so well before the process even began happening. now the statements condemns, and that does not recognize the results of the voltage, just like it's been happening for many, many years here in this country. denouncing the ongoing, longstanding grave violations of human rights and democratic principles. inbound a ruse which further intensified in the run up to the so called presidential election on january 26 parliament of the

e u. it's member states and the international community not to recognize the legitimacy of incumbent dictate to exxon de luca shan co as president of to the vote. meanwhile, members of the election commission of villa ruse 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 the roost tag stream is read information about the private lives and personal data, or for more than 10000 locals who work as observers. and the commission members during 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 build routes which are shift to have and the funds back here though. uh the united states, the state department,

the lease, it's blinking. so statements on non recognition of the presidential election and the roof from its official website. it's no longer there. check it out. the rooms 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, we have these deals, the presidential elections in bella, roofs 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 at the initiative of a group of engaged deputies, a debate on the draft resolution of the european parliament regarding the elections and the republic of bela roost is planned already at this stage. 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 of bella, rouge,

and citizens. what do you see of elections in bella roost have just begun and everything has already been condemned and not recognized by europe. this is unacceptable to soften bela roots here as of now in addition to the elections, the west also wanted to undermine a sack. some of those 5 minutes remains alexander volt footage. who is the secretary of republics. the security council said that's a military sabotage. trading 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 ruse with the help of the russian ex phoebus. now this show that sold, the forces of the european median are focused on weakening the russian federation and its allies through anything they can even through people's elections before we go we some use.
