[000:00:00;00] the, the, all these other facilities that medical facilities and also medical, newborn a, tracy, they affected by the fighting. yes. there is a potentially a very high risk associated with that. the red cross sounds the alarm about the danger invest civilians face and the conflicts driggers d r. c. i to going, funded by the lab which contains the bullet virus. is that particular risk? i meant the valve in our relations or the strategic nature. we provide unwavering support for the unity, territorial integrity and sovereignty of the syrian arab republic. a russian delegation meets with syria as new leadership in damascus for the 1st time and the

. what we're seeing today, and i would need to concern is a fairly high number of one to 2 people and half of them us to billions angelo to women and children. and of course, the, all these are the facilities, medical facilities and also medical the board retrace that are experiencing power costs and easy affected by the fighting. yes, there is a potentially very high risk associated with that as well. security has been a considerable challenge yesterday. we found out about the looting of a warehouse single mom where we have our medical supplies that we're using to treat people in the hospital. so this is of course, absolutely unacceptable. and such behavior does seriously very seriously compromise our capacity and capacity of the community. every

organizations to provide assistance to the civilians in need. the d, r c has been unfortunately something that we also refer to us from the crisis for many years because these country has been experiencing our conflicts to for decades and uh for us as a humanitarian organization. of course, it's more and more difficult to keep for the international community, the international public engaged and interested in the situations like these uh, but uh, situation it is getting increasingly value for civilians. and of course, as there is more international attention. but it's now drawn to these prices, we really hope that so there are also diplomatic solutions. since if somebody take action that will bring us stability and peace to people in government because this is what they really need is a tremendous service organization. we can just put

a plus to run the phones, but we can not to resolve the situation that needs to be addressed. k, also rob ted, in the national capital as masters of protest, is due to the streets with national flags. that birds tie is blocked, rose and targeted diplomatic come pounds. as they are accused foreign powers of supporting the militant group. the m 23, which has been wreaking havoc in the country, is east, at least 4 to 5 people have been killed with hundreds injured and a heavy fighting between the national army and insurgents, via the ones on board. a several embassies, including one does, were attacked by protest as in the capital. now the b r. c has long accused neighboring lawanda back in the middle, tends to gain control of a lucrative mineral resources. last, just last year, the use side to deal with will want that to secure supplies of rad metals used in the technology sector. observers have claimed that

a large part of the one does exports originated the r c r. do you know the, we'll come get has details here? it's not exactly news. many that's relations between the democratic republic of congo and the one the knots on the friendliest of terms. in fact, of a history has been my food and move and city is off concepts and according to can stuff. so no one does backing off the into the city fights is carmintina advancing in the eastern part of the dfcs has made matches even worse. wonderful denies all the cases of the credit, the crisis could have been averted. i did this the government to demonstrate to the general commitment to peace as quite squints and in violation of this is for the 5 this i decided to intern sites mediator operation by attacking the positions of the m $23.00, which is targeted and took more territory is i unfortunately would agree that the

dimension of community chose to condemn the empty city for extending your state authority is without condemning 5 to send me to collision for violating this is fire. after the postponement of the 15th of december 2024. when the assignment ministration aggravated under ground, due to the data says up session with a mentor solution to this conflict. and as i mentioned, these occupations are not in 20 to 12. the lots of nations click to testimonies of to speak to him to the 3 members who explained how to god he had been assisting the group. since it's inception, despite denials from kick on the once again, the international reaction back then with the united states can sort of a ministry age package to the country and applied significant to for my to pressure you in various mean the states following suit. how if last year, brussels bought $2.00 in from the cold by sign me and memorandum with it. so what

parts of office i've been change of heart, simple reading level for success, mineral value chains are critical to lawanda is economy. the country is a major player on the world's 10, tell them extraction. it also produces tin, tungsten gold, and i opium, and has the potential for lithium and rare earth elements. in addition, rolanda with its favorable investment climate and rule of law can become a hub for value. addition in the mineral sector says the deal was inc, the employee, the city, a group, establish full control of people by a mining everything east and congo. every a whole deposit solve 10 to them, it re mitchell extracted from colton. and as the you in miss sitting combo said over 15 percent of the will supply off. this key material comes from the cap to give you. you, in experts, did some digging and solve that to the one does. colton exports have increased by 50 seems to switch to the city compared to just the year before this made to the

one that became the world's largest colton. exporting to institute the city. she's the catch, the numbers shows the world's biggest cancelled them producer is not for $1.00, but the d. c. it has increased. it's 10 to the mining activities in recent years. in total, it puts out $908.00 to metric tons of to be until the 20 to the city, producing nearly 4 to one percent of the world's mind supplies. that's now take you back to the e u signing. that's memorandum of understanding with strategic minimal, what one to guess who's a major player when it comes to cancel the mix section according to the the c. know once again one day you might be questioning why it's not the minimal which to yes. well, some have the answer you, we're going to use the funding run out because of our conditional companies want to accede to, to have access to your sources. this is the easiest way. this is the cheapest way costs going with this kind of just giving better sources like that that's of the use, i mean, but,

and you can see this on them. and this is an issue over my commissioner's, big role minutes of a kind of a stretch. as the d. c is extracted from that country without any beneficiary sion, they all was being conducted in order to get access to those areas. with these very important 3 mental health problems. and unfortunately, when the people of africa are being played against each other, for the sake of getting access to those mental let's see, you're the one. the memorandum has left a very bit to taste in the mouth of the color these lead. it's a publication and very bad taste for one to continues to hide behind the m 23, which is why i do not talk to this terrorist group. my priority is peace, i want definitive piece for my country for that i am ready to put a pause on my will like desires, if we can obtain it with no more like methods,

i will sign with both hands. but if it takes war to have peace, i will also do it with both hands. the d. c. foreign minister went even further that he directly accused of open countries of flute. she gets results, disagreement on what the european union terms strategic, raw materials is not an isolated occurrence. the use complicity in the exportation of our resources and we're one to aggression against our nation, cannot be overlooked. we have denounced these actions. they undermine the mutual trust necessary for our partnership with the european union. but is this just history repeating itself is only 2 sizes. so you and puppies to report to computing that government stuff. you've done the and one that was something located in some parts of the d. c will profiting from the construct by lead to diamonds goals to colton. and as the precious metals, the reason departure of troops should not be interpreted as a sign of rwanda. his willingness to reduce it to considerable involvement in the

evacuation of valuable resources to reduce the level of arm conflict or to diminish the humanitarian crisis in the region. economic exploitation and its various forms will continue relying on a less conspicuous armed force and alternative strategies for carrying out the exploitative activities and even this. yeah, washington has a choose a one to add. you got enough coffee. legally accepting intervals from coco one does present push back saying it would be better for washington to monetize phone, which is it does more mining in the eastern new call or the new coma than the federal. and i never knew a perfect play a game, but basically what lies behind that this with need for companies, for success kobolds, is critical to the renewable energy transition. it's taking me to the minimal is required for the best of production, batch weeks of vehicles and energy storage systems tend to use the phone solar

panels and wind turbine components. that's the thing about these minimal, the sources. ostrich, egypt for the u. s. claims degree and its economy and to become climates need. so by $2.00 to $50.00, they even admitted kobolds. lucy, him 10 to them, and all of them all considered as critical and full of strategic importance for you've opiates, society as well. fig. and now, as a conflict is given, the world has largely failed to notice the english actions. and how is the hawk halted condemnation for the one that you packed has fall, speak multinational companies that want to make sure that they have access to their a hose, minerals of the d, f. c. and they don't care whether they get it through the government or the d r. c o, through the innovation. so for one, the whole through any other groups such as the him, 23. good. the only thing they interested in is to get those minerals because those

minerals is single in the manufacturing, all computers and of smartphones. and in fact, some of those minerals are only found in the d r c. so it's easy, simple for them to have access to those. mendel's alright, let's head to the middle east. now, a high ranking russian delegation has met with syria is new leadership in damascus for the 1st time. moscow's officials, led by a deputy for administer, offered crucial assistance for post war reconstruction in the middle east and country necessary on lead ahmed. all shara, who is also known as our gilani, participated in the tools, and they focused on russia's military presence as well as trade and energy infrastructure. r t got an exclusive interview with the head of the delegation ride off to the meeting. most of the, our relations are of a strategic nature. we provide unwavering support for the unity,

territorial integrity and sovereignty of the syrian arab republic. this is the most important aspect of our relationship. despite recent events in syria, including the change and leadership principles approach remains unchanged. efforts and willingness to help stabilize the situation and find adequate solutions to associated political and socio economic problems. have been emphasized in our discussions with the new leadership and syria. we believe that achieving this goal can be done through an inclusive political dialogue or political process that involves old political forces and ethnic groups in the country. we emphasize that such work should be based on the principles of national unity. because in our view, only national unity just the key to preserving the sovereignty and unity of the syrian arab republic. we discussed the issues about trade and economic relations as well as the important infrastructure projects that were created with the assistance

of the soviet union and the russian federation. these include hydro electric power plant, among other facilities. in addition, we provide assistance to the syrian economy through the supply of petroleum products, energy resources, food, grain, and fertilizer. all of these efforts have been undertaken and we are prepared to continue them in accordance with the existing agreements with the new authorities in syria. of course, we understand that our situation is difficult. the serial socrates have stated that they have a temporary government in place. they plan to create a transitional government, often ramadan in march. this fits in with the timeline announced by us much shara which cools for the preparation of a new constitution within 3 years and the elections of the full. so it's clear that this is a long term process. we would like to express our gratitude for the fact that our citizens and facilities would not home during these re some defense the now staying in the middle east, despite the so called ceasefire usual continues,

it strikes on solving lab and on hitting, not just the villages but even the children's amusement park in the region, the scenes of devastation stretched across the area with children, a wandering through the rubble other side has no ties to hezbollah as military operations. the y locals attempt to return to the villages of crew on the ground, a witness to drugs strikes while the fielding any or a demolished mosque over now to r t. c sweeney. with the details press stuckey talk. we're down to enter the village of each of which is from the to cut on which is know the border which is around or they quoted here, occupied powder. so this is some significance back in 2685 percent of the buildings that were destroyed by the

excess since being rebuilt by in the cupboard is ready while we've driven through idaho. and the sky to the destruction is apocalyptic. nitty every house has been destroyed. the whole village completely flocked in here . the design made in the usa, a stock or mind of who is responsible for the destruction in southern lebanon. wireless as well as war, is also a war that is being facilitated by the west, not just the united states, but also the united kingdom, who have supplied the buttons that munitions the weapons that have been used to carry out the massacre of lebanese civilians on the destruction of lebanese villages or sheets. the 1st of all this land is our land. people have returned to the village because they lived here, this land feeds them,

their homes are here. and despite the devastation law, we remain here alone. you're asking about maiden usa. it's about the american bombs dropped on this earth. it was the americans who supply designers send. the scientists bombed with american bombs that destroyed homes and sources of income, leaving nothing intact. this enemy, along with the americans, along with the conspirators, knows no mercy, neither for a child, nor for a tree, nor for a person, nor for a building, nor for anything. that for this reason, they establish these expressive words. they say, look what the americans are doing. our faith and religion do not allow us to remain silent. we will fight and fight for these people because in the end we are human beings. that's why we fought. we got our way. how many normal? yes, they have destroyed, but at the same time they have achieved nothing. lot of perform minutes drive from heights, which has been completely flattened by these variety of forces with now driving

through a christian village. and as you can see, it's completely on this guy. he's on, touched by the bombing. there's no us, god is the amount is not a sign of a bombing or is being completely left alone. and in fact, the people of this village, they remain here during the is why the bombardment of southern lebanon incredibly given the sky to the destruction that we've just just seen. so this is as far as we can get into the other and just in the hills behind his head, the knock about turnkey is right. the soldiers are still the, we managed to get some footage of the, of the time constraints of sites, the set on the people who set on us uh, the liberties army, as you can see behind us. now, under the terms of the seaside agreement, the lebanese army, i suppose, to be allowed into the village's haven, the south is supposed to be able to retake control to allow those villages to return. but as we can say,

the is ready on forces or refusing to allow them to do so. people are trying to leave the nobody's on me. oh, sorry. i tried to leave to make another move as well as just the real simple owner for drugs because he also hines over here where people are praying with civilians are gathered and the is already on for the to we don't gonna hang around for too long because i think they might, they might try something again, so we're going to try and get out of here and make our way around to another room the, for just behind me, you can see what remains of the are the most k and the village of yahoo. now, you can see it as being completely destroyed. we saw the footage broad cost across the world button. the is ready for us is destroyed. it lost it during the bombardment of a southern lebanon. this is of course, an incredibly important building, particularly for a libertines. she community and it shows the us to disregard the is why these have

for the cultural and religious symbols here in southern lebanon that we don't want to get any closer here because the area hasn't been created just that. we know the israel has booby trapped buildings as the potential for unexploded ordnance, but not too far away from the most. there's also the church of saint george. now this of course is a catholic church saint george, the patron saint of england. and this was again uh, a hugely important religious symbol for the people of this area simply destroyed by, as well as part of what people are describing as a cultural genocide in lebanon. hey, we're monks, the rebel, we can see down here, 2 copies of the cut on the site where it is amik book, holy book, simply right here, one, cuz the disruption, as i suggest, the most is well open fire. it sounded close,

perhaps targeting locals as they tried to empty out of the liberties, only stood by helplessly unable or unwilling to offer any protection to the lebanese civilians. as they faced constance is by the aggression, the february, i think the deadline has been exploited by, as well. instead of withdrawing it just reinforcing, refusing to allow people to attend how it has all the ingredients to attend to box waiting to explode. the warning, lebanon south feels very much like it could re ignite any movement. this is these, we need phonology in your, in southern lebanon that thousands of palestinians had been making the way back to northern guys or to what is left of their homes. are there found the refuge camp completely destroyed with no other place to go? many of them have setup tens, made the rubble of a civilian started to return to their homes out the received by a deal was reached by eas roland, him us. that many of those displays depaula seen in said that the with bang for to

return despite the devastation flood shift from when the truth was announced, we returned and set up a temporary tent. as you can see, the destruction is everywhere. and we like the rest of the people, praise god anyway, and ask god for mercy for the motus above and had that our house was completely demolished. i lost my brother and son as well as my cousins. we thank god, any way. today we are homeless without a home. we have nothing. we live on the street and as you can see, the street is completely destroyed. there are no tents, no essentials for life, no drinking water, nothing for 9 days now, no vehicle with water supplies has entered the jamalia camp in the fall, but i came to the land where my house used to be and set up my tent in the same place so that i would teach my children that this is our land, the land of our fathers and grandfathers. we won't leave our homeland, we will rebuild. now as part of the ceasefire and the hostage exchange between boss

and ease roll, nearly 300 father stevens had been freed, all those thousands remain in prison. now among those remains, this writer had had a form of the library. pony is, is what i love lucy, who shed her experience of captivity and the hardships that she enjoyed inside them beyond these really detention a couple of things as palestinians. we always carry a message there. and as a writer could care to board the weight of this message and focusing on conveying the stories of my people and their lived experiences. in joshua, i've been deeply concerned with palestinian women living under and imposed reality and palestine focusing on her social life. on ordinary life, on how women endured struggles for decades as part of their existence in palestine . are you they always faced suffering? and i conveyed the suffering of a writer is influenced by their surroundings,

by what they live through. witness and co exist with. that's what i write about as a palestinian writer, i'm certainly concerned about my country, my people, my role as a mother or a woman or a human being or the we all share in the suffering. we write about what we're living through, what we witness and co exist with. according to the form i arrest, i wrote naturally goodness in any writer, bases their work on what their pen and live circumstances dictate would be for. so i wrote to fall asleep during my imprisonment and it was the same that when i heard many, deeply moving stories in prison, but especially from citizens of gaza, why don't they affected me profoundly, some of them i could never forget for i hope the world here's the stories and then we can anyway, he told me you know, they came to arrest me in the morning while i was sleeping in my home. it was surprising, of course i wasn't doing anything but narrating realistic stories. so when they took me,

it was very shocking at 1st because i didn't understand if writing could be considered an accusation leading to imprisonment, the entire way there. i was puzzled and wondering why they chose me. then, then they confronted me with accusations of incitement and support. according to little thankfully, this deal happened and suffering stopped as it was a very, very difficult ordeal. whatever you read about imprisonment does not compared to what i lived through. days were incredibly tough, full of hardship. thank god i got out of pocket the they were monitoring my writing, the conditions in prison. we're extremely difficult from the moment of my arrest for someone my age, i could not endure solitary confinement or the cold and being left outside in harsh weather. he moved the 1st 4 days were incredibly difficult until i was transferred to damon prison. i said at least there i saw other female prisoners and interacted with them, sharing our suffering. thank god, i wasn't subjected to violence. but i heard many stories from those around me about

the violence they endured upon my name. how can the solicitation look within the prison? we didn't know anything about the deal until we were called upon. it was like being in the graves of the living. we didn't hear or know anything except for some hints during the visits of lawyers. we were so happy when we learned we'd be released in the deal and then we left behind other female prisoners. and we hope that in the next base, they will also be included in such deals. look for the job, i hope the cease fire holds because gaza has suffered greatly and so have the westbank and all of palestine who are. but we also hope to see a comprehensive agreement on the ground on gaza reconstruction, allowing its people to heal their wounds as they have suffered. so much of this deal brought relief to those with life sentences. and we're also happy and proud to see them gain freedom. who the awareness is the most important thing, jennifer. we carry a message and we hope we've been able to convey part of that message for her. and

hopefully a new chapter will begin. and we will finally brief, peacefully, enjoy a period of safety and stability for her and know it's time for us to live in stability to plot it's a 100. yeah. the chemical suppression of citizens is a terrible thing. not only in prisons, but also in our daily lives. we are all subject to just depression. for example, today, when i returned, i was suppose to be with my families and but i couldn't. i'm at my brother's home because it's not safe for me or my family. maybe even though my children have no involvement and what happens in the area. this is our daily life, violence, fatigue, worry, my siblings, my family. everyone who goes to work doesn't know what will happen to them. we engineer and we've been living through daily suffering for a long time. from day and night are indistinguishable. we can't live as normal citizens. we want to live peacefully, go to work and lead our lives. unfortunately,

no one holds them accountable. which country i wish international laws would do that, because we can't even move freely to feel hot, even when i return from ramallah to jeanine. it took me over 4 hours on the road. we faced daily suffering on the roads from everyone and settlers, the entire system. we have endured a long period of exhaustion. worry engine security has these wounds in the martyrs . we've lost to the destruction in gaza. and the pain in jeanine that's kind of difficult, but no matter what happens, the palestinian people will not leave. what happened in 1948 will never be repeated . we will stay in our land no matter what. we will never agree to leave us a watching. the people of gauze have returned even to their destroyed homes, shows that we will not give up this land or leave our district,
