the, the biggest thing is right there is russian troops of bonds up and down the front lines without him as a, as b admits ukraine is a full level as action program is not providing any relief for t estimate if tomorrow, for instance, half of the army will return home, we should have surrendered on the very 1st day the they really can just open 5 on us here. 11 on israel, just load. we're reporting now from the south where the idea of continuing to take a man to take more lives as a cease fire agreement really lives on. i've been leading night on the face of the democratic republic of congo is up in the air. the key city of go by in the east is captured by end 23 minutes and 17. a reportedly killed and a hunt was wounded in plaster. is

a rough thing in that next the but i guess stanley black a commentary on our top story is t is live and worldwide from most so straight to the ukraine. corporate. we go to kickoff business program. i go to all the updates for you from the front lines to as rushers, defense ministry reports that nearly 100 ukrainian troops, as well as several ahmed vehicles with just taken out of the 5. the don't have to pick up the video was russian forces, fire artillery and rockets. the entities as the brigade carried out the strong self that detecting ukrainian positions with his surveillance and u. a v of his comes, as most goes, forces have been making rapid strides over the last months as key of retreats up and down the front. a lot of times i was like amazon lensky, highlighted tvs, mobilization efforts us simply not enough. he uses them adults,

according to the law, people over 25 years older being mobilized, and it continues today, bringing a lot of people of this age. they have rotations and go on leave, but it's not enough. we have to work on the quality of this. you have tomorrow, for instance, half of the army will return home. we should have surrendered on the very 1st day overall as well, corresponding equinox down office into the to republican. he explains that lighted skis admission which by the way, a strong strong statement that the western legacy media more than likely to ignore . and these are truly some uncertain and troublesome time to be a high school graduates in ukraine. not for the idea of lowering the mobilization age to include those of 18 years of age and older has been out for months now, especially specifically peddled hard by the previous american administration. but it has been on the list of the talking points of the from team q n. now,

coupled with what they hear, what all these youngsters of ukraine here from zelinski himself, that in fact it is not enough that those who are being drafted on the streets on north enough to fix the front line right now. well this, it does not sound optimistic a tool for the younger generation of the ukrainians. and it's coupled with things like, well, for instance, the general collapse of the ukrainian army on the front lines. well, it is unclear as to how ukraine is supposed to band a, the disastrous situation in the trenches. i mean, on monday reports image that the head of the ukrainian defense intelligence suggested that it without fresh blood in the trenches. well, the very existence of ukraine as a well as a country could be in jeopardy if there are no serious negotiations until summer. then very dangerous processes for the very existence of ukraine may begin. now

right off to these reports, imagine that he'd be available, donald said this was the defense intelligence of ukraine. it's step forward and publicly refuted that this, this was, these were the exact words of the head. but other report suggested that that was what he was talking about was the collapse of the front line and not the collapse of ukraine as a stage, which is still not exactly ideal for key of so again, it is unclear as to what plan the, the authorities right now have to fix the situation on the front line is because the lack of just the lacking and stuttering mobilization is only the tip of the iceberg of all the problems that the ukraine, you know, i mean, is facing right now. essentially, they don't have enough men to put in the trenches also at the same time a people and the soldiers have been complaining that the ukrainian commodities simply cannot provide them with sufficient training. and they're just sending fresh

conscripts, freight into bottle. and this will, it kind of brings other problems into with it because that have been reports of mass decisions, decisions by the thousands of fresh calling scripts from the front line from the newly formed brigades. one of the latest reports suggest and the quote and quote, a disintegration of one of the brigades fighting just outside the town of the desk or on the probes up front line. this is one of the hot spots. this is where the russians have come close as to the deal probes region of ukraine, again that you craniums, they have basically the whole front line is a hot spot in one way or another. i mean here in the next group, public, the fighting has been most fees. the same goes for the fighting in the quarter squeezen where the ukrainians are trying to hold the ground. because uh, i mean, i mean, room is of, uh, of expected towards expected peace stools between russia,

the united states and ukraine. this, this move as small as waves of wind that they have in the cruise region of russia. this is pretty much the only leverage that they have right now head of these 2 oaks, but again, nothing has been confirmed in terms of the peace process. of course, russia in the united states, it seems they have been, at least in, to some degree, seeing i to i, that i be united states have been saying that this conflict has to end pretty much immediately. and the russians have you saying, well that they are open to do negotiations, they are open to the idea of negotiations. and they that they are ready to sit until as long as long as there's somebody to talk to ukraine. because again, it's a landscape just a quick reminder, he had cancelled the presidential elections last year. so the legitimacy and disorder, how much power, how much you will negotiation legitimacy,

his finger hold. russia is concerned about that so that they don't signing the documents with zalinski then there's, there's an election in ukraine, a new president and the new president, just the steps forward and says, well, we do not recognize anything, anything signed by the previous administration on this. well, the cycle of a cycle of blood spilling just goes on and is reinstated. so again, the prospect of talks, it seems to be so far, quite distant and well, it is not helping with the optimism inside ukraine. i mean, room is over fresh mobilization over a whole new generation of people to 11 on now whether it's really mandatory, continue is it's a tax and essentially disregard the terms of a sci fi which has, blah, israel has resumed. it strikes, going to win, wouldn't go over a 1000 more on monday. that's just the day off. the israel killed 24 lebanese civilians in the south. this by the cottage, people are still looking to get back home. and as we understand,

according to our correspondence between these, some of them are even taking methods into their own hands and trying to force his reading troops off of their neighborhoods. you know, not c. 5 agreement has come on to some criticism, particularly from residents in the south to say that the lebanese government, what it simply abandoned them, is as showing these great acts of defiance by confronting the radio and forces even pushing the miles of more than 34 sacraments and villages, we've seen them and bravely taking on these radius soldiers and look about tanks. now the situation of course remains incredibly volatile overnight. there was a gun fire and bombings and a number of villages, a number of settlements. we're making our way now into a number of web pages. and now, gathering best set to attend the lebanese army on going to be entering those villages, pushing the is why the all me out of them, um, the lowest, the,

the decision around the cx 5 is seen is not one that has come from the liberties side. the liberties government has been very critical of as well, but it seems as being driven by washington, the administration of the us president. donald trump now has beloved res part, where they said that the extension of the cease fire agreement with the only way the applies to military operations. so this is just to give the is why the on forces more time to leave the area and whether they do so remains to be seen. so we're going to be joining some of those villages as they were to, into the set to is we're expecting that they may be cautious with these ready on forces bots that for that. but they're saying, well, it's not up to as well to dictate when we were to and that doing so that returning to ever digits on mass with the heads held high. so that we can see wrong as in rows of traffic just in front of us is up in chicago. this is where a lot of the traffic is coming from the making the way to i totally which is one of

the villages we've recently visited. but now, for the 1st time in 15 months, many people so think to, to, and that's what we can say on many of the cause of the flags of has the law. many people are carrying pictures of the relatives of mounted relatives of being killed . but there's a sense of pride of returning to the villages a sense of celebration almost just we would just up in luna ross in this direction and as we were leaving, people gave us some sweet foods to eat. so the people are remaining incredibly define. we know the liberties army, i think the engineering i to really now the villages will follow in behind them. we're not going to take a walk. obviously, we can't get the call because it's so much traffic. but we're going to take a walk in. we're going to try and enter the village as uh, the people, the local residents with the locals finally ended october,

even after 10 sound off. it is ready for us is they forced or locked in lebanese army to join them while challenging pro resistance slogans. d. as right, the soldiers withdrew made scenes of jubilant celebrations. we made our way to another flash point myself jamal way is what has reinforced its presence village's will to along the road churned up and body damage biased. by the time some bulldozers, others struck a defiant of god, the sheriff will heb. we came here to see our land, to conquer and liberated from our ruthless enemy. this is our land. we're not afraid of them. if it is allows will, we will manage and expelled them a month. so soon what i'm ready to spend the night here until i get home. i will sit on my doorstep even if it is destroyed. we are not afraid of anyone with the help of a low we will be able to enter our city and we will definitely return. all of the 1st of all, the agreement reached for 60 days was not respected by the is really enemy, the commission that guarantee disagreement is inactive. these really enemy,

in their patrons seek to impose their rule not only on live and on, but also on the whole world. therefore, we need to deliver a powerful message to this occupying and to me, a, we are on our own land. and as a people, we will stand up to him, we are not going to leave this place. we are acting on our own decision as lebanese people, as residents of this country. so the situation have is very tense, very volatile just behind us here. and there is a barricade of trees being pulled down to behind that there's a and is where the mock about time. because right increase, they will actually just open fire on us here. most of all i can produce to oppose the power k time. we had a gun, 5 guns, yours. if you come round this way, we can see now here the villages a gathering that tried to make their way back into the, into the valley just behind us. now little again, gunfire is as well try to prevent locals returning. i'm not sure if we can pick this up, but we just had gun file from the who just policies trees. hey,

we know that there is ready. so just up the, a book about tanks. it seems that is what it is they're opening 5. and so this is what the extension of that sees for. i mean, in fact, it's just given the green light for the is a new troops to embed even further to continue their reputation of liberty. so silver entire truth has the law has rejected the sci fi gaming as a breach of liberty sovereignty and p. i defy. i'd said that the people would eventually be victorious, drive off the occupies, i think the, the site is, has to, we've been through all from our pipelines after the fussing go for the 60 days. 60 days. i think we are going to see re complete yesterday is withdrawal from island. i think so. and the anybody's people are not

concerned about to be different. i think nick shoes and about the international uh links and about the something like that. they are not sending about to that will send that one find who they are working to see the land related to for abuse, right? as well. what we've seen across the course of monday seems of joy seems of separation. so brave defiance is liberties when it is confirmed is right. the soldiers, in many cases, driving them out of the village, is where the lebanese army is reluctant to do. so. now will these right? the army leave for the new, the enforced deadline of february. the 18th. well, only time will tell, but it could be this a, a full style note by the lebanese army, but by the lebanese people themselves. this is steve sweeney for all teeth in southern lebanon. to africa now here on the program where at least to 17 people

reportedly killed and nearly 370 injured and sold them in classes on the democratic republic of the congo. that's how the m, $23.00 militants capture, the city of go. but in the nations east, let's show you some of footage from goma on monday is that the militants clearly seem to have a stablish control. as large crowds gather a go, myers or homes are about 3000000 people. and the group has repeatedly taken control of the cities effort on national tv channel. last week, the provisional government has outright killed by the n 23 group. and we are among the crowds. so we speaking to the locals about the current state of affairs and will the expectations for the immediate future. the here's a bullet. i'm not a soldier, but i know how to recognize it. i picked it up on quickly closing the door. a balm fell just a few steps from our street. i went outside and that's when with a terrifying crash, the gunfire erupted. we are in

a terrible state of fear because the explosion, more and more frequent before we were just walking down the street. unaware of the threat or resolution will come if the authorities finally accept iowa, that would allow us to avoid this desperate fleet to safety. right now, none of us can go a moment without fearing that we may have to rush into yet another evacuation of the features right there for the d. c. capital approaches. packing the streets for one does fly with the image of his president polk economy of in flight the d. c. a chooses his neighbor of supporting the group. however, one that denies all the applications, but elsewhere in the country, thousands also gather to protest. the minutes ends taking of other cities across the region. and people say the chaos in the nation is driven by certain western actors of the, the civil society of south keybo denounces the very ambiguous positions taken by countries such as france, the usa, great britain,

in relation to the war of aggression. the civil society of south keybo feels almost a band and in the fight against bulk and ization, and calls on other provinces to show solidarity to save the eastern part of the d. r. c. in the grip of its atrocities and calls for the general mobilization of congress leads living in the diaspora to say no to war. and yes, to peace love. we are here to demand peace. our country is threatened. there is a part of our country that is illegally occupied by foreigners, but as we are a democratic country, we must fight for our homeland. that is how the population of south keith, who came together as one man to come and demand the right for the part that is occupied to be liberated by pre the complexity of the, our compatriots from north key. we must be strong, we are behind them. we will continue to fight and advocate up to the highest level . we want to see how to integrate the territory and then come back to us because it

is a right congo has never taken a centimeter from a neighboring country. it is a country that respects other neighboring countries and they too must respect us. we tell paul could comment that he must be careful with our congolese nation. although m $23.00 is so just now, well a power and the problem does have historic roots. and before we join on guest, there's a quick recap on the,

remember the right now is a little bit to see the one that i'm reading the article given some news and all these countries they have been since the some edition of the generals to data if the latter who came from rhonda killing a menu and to seize and that to, to colonial, exported to chrome or the ideology of genocide operative or the duties from formal calling them the one done vendor providing the airlines the,

the government of contests. i decided to maintain good or administrators in the army and the umbrella court was a leading to and altogether we with the army. we 1st saw that forces un mission of these and a but the indians decided to get into with i'm 23 alone short range diplomacy as happened in 2009 the peace agreement. the moment m 23 is named after this phase agreement. that's good enough to hold the, you know, again, as the colonial history we have the least self african unit african union is the,

on the pictures to some of these countries you can use it for people splitting the nationalities, 50 different definitions of 2017 was helping you to have this in the and when, because of the congo they did not respect associate in cohesion, religion of cohesion, it's making goals. all they care about is to include as many as possible for. and

they actually even have class 2 devices as we can try into conflict fits conflicting sections. all right, let's talk about this now with a test. so what am i? couldn't you professor public law or the university of government? now joining us a lot from the capital construct, so just talked about the what 20 past 9 in the morning try sort of very well, welcome to you. thank you so much for coming on this program. i just want to offer you shut off the top of my head if i may, your reaction to the ongoing events and the d. c. how bad is the situation in the country now, please? uh, thank you for, for, for having me. i hope you're doing well, and i hope all the people from the democratic republic of comfortable while watching us also doing while it's a sides time besides moment for a peaceful cd like go my to be invaded since yesterday. and the early morning by the absent of 3 rebels globe supported according to so many sources by that one

done because of forces. so it's, um, you tell me about because today them to dis 3 or the it's claiming that each i've already controlled 100 percent of the cd, top of the control around the city age is not in control of the effort. and it's not in control of all the national radio and television and to go buy. so, and i'm both places, of course, and in a go my and i am 53 control and out of place of our on the national. i me control repeats on all coalition, but it's really sad is the fact that now the 5 is a site, 2 site it's, it's on the ground in the in court is the place of the way people leave. and i haven't gotten exchanges and which, which of course leads to several ones and several of the to be that being reviewed by those all the particular situation. yeah, we've been showing some really disturbing footage over the past uh 2436 hours

because or the violence of the protest, the flags being but images of the could guy me as well. good. can you, can you help me get my head around this because the blame game for us or has begun, but some, according this, like a domestic dispute, like kind of some kind of civil war of the people to say no is the be all sees boss, mineral resources, but natural wealth, it has that it's got external actors stoking the company. can you kind of melt it down for me to as, or why are we here today? what we see? why have we here we are here because a number of, of, of member and countries especially random wants to use the ethnic revival races in the region in the, in the, in the country to, to obtain it's my to again to attend economic. um, uh so such and muscle control, natural resources. so what do you happen to get up them to do 3, what you've been on the screen of the full must be in the audit. it's uh,

activity the not in about 2021 a came into the, the government that was not comply with the much during my, uh, uh, 2009. we met and the way a number of agreement which we might between the government and the pharmacy and to be which of those was already supported by rhonda at the time. so i'm and i'm both reporting building a city within the week of wizard. but from the united admission expert group, which can be indicated that the presence of ball close to 4000 soldiers from, from lawanda, was supporting been that the m 23 so so one cannot really say that this is a particular intent, no problem to the d. c face because you have to face us all for an i'm is secondly the you have it, the pro, but take a rhetoric by what they're trying to support,

enter the 3. and a lot of the things we have to understand here is that there is always a display and saying that the empty 3 is a national group. the entity 3 defending they come the leaves while from the to see at the right instruction because they're big. the big uh, stigmatized that the codes according to some of the features you might find some of those situation be in there, but the big knob of the problem is somewhere else. people are just trying to use a smaller problem to getting more benefit. that's that the excuse is that people always try to bring and diet before i drive. and then a, the issue of off the, a lot the, that the of the law way in the d r a c i, it continues to switch to the one them government according to some, a number, a huge non, both of the hello came in 1990 oh, i'm already retired to run and some of those will be tend to run as sometimes done

by the democratic republic of congo to continue being used as an excuse. i said the 1st thing, the 2nd thing, this gets, the 2nd thing you were talking about. people who came to video say, in 1994, today, then 2 men before as close to him, i'd say 31 say why don't use if we assume that the youngest in a studio who came to to the see was let's say, 1015 or trying to use all the time. so now by now that 52 years old and most of them were old. so how many us see that? right. how many asked do they, how many do i really do have these students the dea's ideal to, to defend the that i've been since 2000 speak 7 and 8, and number of joint military operations between video see me and the one that had the some of them were called team jo, one q, me a to buy a new one. on monday,

the zillow submitted to the provisions we and i tracked you down the f d r. so what we talking about currently we using the f. the alarm is with excuse to extract to minerals because if you look at the latest you in a group accepts reports one minute, all the sites, the new buyer, we use monthly, $800000.00 us dollars. and those, i mean, those are be transported outside uh for gas through obviously if this is something i wanted to ask you about, chris or, and i sincerely apologize for interrupting you. but what you're telling us, i mean this is, this is like a ground base. you know groceries information, i'm really grateful for you telling us this and helping me to get my head around it . you were mentioning some of the natural resources biase or wander across the region. of course, africa, of the scene, centuries of exploitation, we get that, but you know, diamonds, co, bold, and all that late fee and all these other things are available there. and talk to me if you would just briefly because designed this time just about one year ago.

with the e, you assigned a memorandum with her, one to 4 role materials supply chains. yet report suggested much of her one does mineral production is actually smuggled in from the be all see, trust, all your thoughts. that is exactly the truth we have. so we just look only one reports, natalie, 2 or 3 report, several reports and the end to reports and sources from the a u. n. united nation. what, what to confirm that so don't get me wrong. i'm not saying that the driver seat is a sense country that the archie is a place where there is no cause of this is a place where they cannot be here and a human rights. all living is not on the display of what i'm trying to think about is this, the one that you have must have given me right bulletin as a bonus and the freedom of speech and all of this. but we've got not to use those small ports, governance issues in video 6 to explain and dead. suffice an invasion impulse and

not notified meals and a part of the dentist into in the, in the country. so when you look at the and took it to me, where will they get all that material if they get from? yeah, when they get it back to you so that when would they get the money from bits all the resources and several you wouldn't report how clearly documenting all of that getting piece, you know, the funding the activities. and it's the, the other thing to do to invest on it is that it's more creative to did research to, to actually reduce that to get it peacefully. remember when presenter security came to power the cam close to to run the government. and a triangle of close to to do is the testing that was they trying to create a, you know, by like, so as we've been till next location. and there was even an understanding that some of the natural resources in d. c wouldn't be treated.
