[000:00:00;00] the lease of the facilities that medical facilities and also medical the board retrace team. they affected by the fighting. yes. the reason potentially very high risk associated with that of the red cross sounds the alarm about the dangerous by civilian space and the conflicts freaking the receipt, pensive down the funded by live, which contains the bullet viruses at particular risk at mid developments. we will take it as a declaration of war. that's the message from south africa, has a warranty to wanda, against the attacking 80 of its police keeping forces in the driver seat. so the

africa says 15 of its troops were killed. recently i met the company and thousands of fathers tvs, we tugs the ruins of their destroyed homes in gaza at this type of pens among the rumble as they try to rebuild their lives. when the truce was announced, we returned and set up a time 3 times. as you can see, the destruction is everywhere. our house was completely demolished. i lost my brother and son as well, but i came to the land where my house used to be and set up my tent in the same place. the while you're watching our teach, an option of which and you live from a new center with moscow. i have mike called watching, now heavy fighting rages for the day in eastern d r. c. but the civilians face more than just the bullets deputy viruses from the us funded biological lab could be at risk of meeting. and that's the warning from the red cross spokesperson speaking to

r t. the run lots of dentures. that's all related to that tax on essential civilian infrastructure, potential damaged essentials to be an infrastructure. and these by law is just the one example of the potential consequences that would happen if for lots of stations power plants get damaged. we are talking about to see a heavily populated area with the complex infrastructure with hospitals level retrieve the uh wall to stations power stations. uh uh, and of course there are lots of potential benches which would happen if uh, heavy fighting and heavy obtain the rate is used in these heavily populated areas. what we're seeing today and when he did, concern is

a very high number of one. did people, and half of them, us civilians, angelo, to women and children. and of course they're all, these are the facilities, medical facilities and also medical the board retrace that are experiencing power costs. and that is the affected by the fight. 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 routine of warehouse in beaumont, where we have our medical supplies that we are using to treat wanted people in the hospital. so this is of course, absolutely unacceptable, and such behavior does seriously very seriously compromise our capacity and capacity of all the community, every organizations to provide assistance to the civilians in need. the d r c has

been unfortunately something that's we also refer to us from boston crisis for many years because these country has been experiencing our conflicts to for d. gates and for us is which many target and openness ation. of course, it's more and more difficult to teach for the international community, the international public engaged and interested in the situations like these uh, but uh, the situation is just 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 the really need is for many terry organizations. we can just put a plus to run the phones,

but we can not to resolve the situation that needs to be addressed. small k all seem dropped to the national capital as masses of protest as to the streets with national flags that they burned tires long roads and target to diplomatic compounds . as they accuse foreign powers of supporting and militant groups and $23.00, which has been wrecking havoc in the countries each. now at least 25 people had been killed with hundreds injured in heavy fighting between the national army and the insurgents. near the rwandan border, a several embassies, including bewanda, is where attacked by protest as in the capital the while. so bob says the team soldiers forbids peacekeeping mission and the d. c. had been killed. the president threw around my post reaffirms that its troops saw that to maintain order, and the peasants is gold. not a declaration of war, however, so that if it goes defense minister has one that if they are attacked,

they could consider that an act of war starts at that stage window and fighting above i hit the present deed one of them to so you feel going to say, i think it is a deal that we shouldn't fall in there to defend that people in definitely fighting . what's us now for more they do have less cross live to our teachers, put in the video, couldn't get it. we always good to have you join me now. so what can you tell us about the current dispute between africa and wanda as well. so the object is to say, is full, signed the defense minister, a once again coming on the fire in the midst of conflict in central africa. this time, the 16 is the democratic republic of chicago, as we heard the news that so that we could to coming on the fire and not for the 1st time in that region, raises a few questions, many all asking, what is it doing today? and why is it on the attack?

and for a nation at peace, it does seem to be doing an awful lot of sites in central africa. but to answer some of those questions is that the south african national defense force is part of the full intervention brigade. along with troops from tanzania and to my now we allow, we has also been hit by the recent fighting in the df. see the 3 or 6 soldiers killed as well. so that's the cat has also a lot of history in the d. c. move in 10 years of it, so that african troops were part of the united police has peacekeeping efforts in the country. it's $82000.00 and it's for the tissues and the routing party have also tried if they had to add some mediation on several occasions, which hasn't really worked out so far. and the dfcs has really been the pay sweetie, so that we can have them, it has tried to assume the mantle of african leadership and for better or worse, they have backed up, their commitment would be on the ground because there's quite

a lot of different match a capital at stake and very important to note as well. the said african soldiers that have a united nations mandate to peasy. they've been involved in many years in peace 2nd . and this is to the dfcs, sanctioned by the united nations security council, which gave us the rather the appraise than submitted to receive the international move. it is a very dangerous commitment to that the country has made, as we can see, it has really put itself right in the middle of everything with 13 of its soldiers now killed it. nonetheless, at injuries and killings, probably not withstanding. the government is confident that to this is the right thing to do and the person who's as so that's a cost. but some of these statements that you've seen coming from south africa side has been criticized by the one that particularly the one made by defense minister engine to say. but happy listen to the one does the response the minister of

defense of south africa is lying. this is meaningless, bragging that will not bring peace in eastern d. c. in fact, south africa already confirmed that the firing came from aaron's congolese f. a r d c. troops. let me be clear, the southern african development community mission is not a peacekeeping force. it is always being belligerent in mandate the attacks on rwanda, by some south african officials, necessitate a response. the role of the south african national defense force in the d. c. has never been clear up. decide with them protect congolese president, chief of katy, his genocidal allies, the f. d. a law, his many local militias and his european medicine res of the which is just the risk of state. we will probably hear from the defense ministry. and so the africa engine was said about what that warning was about who it was made to. and by whom, specifically, because also understand places and from a post a did hold. a telephonic conversation with his one been counterpart to president

can call me to discuss the recent escalation off that conflict. but the admission doesn't seem to be going well. so far. i'm reading off for so that i forgot. and at this stage, the president of the country has via some pretoria as commitment to peace aging. everyone to respect to the dfcs to retreat and to, to gauge into pro magic process is to, in the conflict provide hard to correspond and all the wheel can get bringing us up to speed to that. all right, for now only words, new auctions from west and power as in that's as washington has the u. n. to can send a message to a host of the militant defensive in the d r c. but no specific plan has been proposed just yet that we've heard from for my, my gerry and presidential last bill and then we've got to buy the 2nd. and he said that the u. s. has become and effective in resolving any conflicts in africa. it is really very simple that um,

for the guns can continue to get off of the guns condition. there's also some hold on your boss or some house behind the quarterly report. so what piece do have we do have we have a democratic, the democratically elected government emerging, sasha. why not to support the government to push out directly? is what piece on everyone knows the data there. those are new schools are by enabling warranty. yeah, no. why do some one that is packaged as well, the model by your wisdom media of the nation. so these parts are available online and everyone news you in commercial point is, will be shown on have a secure to consume the team member that is involved in this the best modem flash. and then i think the just the new service. that's why i believe over time,

you with the u. n. has to become informed to complete a new one and there is absolute need for a news to, to, to one to know, to manage the united nations for the war need to ship much more appropriately to the system in the middle east. now despite the so called ceasefire, israel continues its strikes on solving lab and on hitting, not disability, but even the children's amusement park in the region that seems of devastation stretch across the area. with children wondering through the rubble of the side has no ties to has beloved military operations. meanwhile, local that tends to return to the villages our true on the ground witnessed to joe and strikes while filming near a demolished mosque. now over now to r t. c. sweeney with the details of a fresh jackets of murder,

to enter the village of knights of which is bound to cut off, which is no well devoted, which is around or the court here on our side. 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. but 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 sign made in the usa, a stock reminder of who is responsible for the disruption 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 are being used to carry out the massacre of lebanese civilians on the destruction of lebanese villages of 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, and 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. yes, they have destroyed, but at the same time they have achieved nothing. le performed minutes drive from each uh, 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 unscathed, untouched by the bombing. there's no a scholar, there's a whole month. there's no sign of a bombing. all this being completely left alone, and in fact the people of this village. they remained here during the, is ready 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 in just in the hills behind his head. the knock about turnkey is ready. so

just as still the, we managed to get some footage of the, of the time constraints. uh, sites the set on the people who set on us uh, the lebanese army, as you can see behind us. now, under the terms of the c, 5 agreement, the lebanese ami a supposed to be allowed into the villages haven the south, is supposed to be able to retain control to allow those villages to return. but as we can see, the is ready on forces all refusing to allow them to do so. most people have tried to leave the lebanese army, also try to lead to make another way to go to as well as just real simple order for drugs. he also hines over here where people are praying with civilians are gathered and the is already on for the 2. we're not 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, the full just behind. but you can see what remains of the are the most k and the

village of yahoo. now you can see it's being completely destroyed. we saw the footage bolt cost across the world, but in the is where the forces destroyed it, lost it during the bombardment of a southern level. and this is of course, an incredibly important building, particularly for a libertines she community. and it shows the us a disregard to the is why these have 4 of the cultural and religious symbols here in southern lebanon. now we don't want to get any closer here because the area hasn't been created just if 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 um, this was again i, i seems the 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, well, monk c rubble, we can see down here, 2 copies of the cut on the site. credit is on the book. holy book. simply right here. everyone cuz the disruption us, as we get the most as well open fire, it sounded close, perhaps targeting locals as they tried to empty out of the liberties army stood by helplessly unable or unwilling to offer any protection to the lebanese civilians. as they faced constance is id 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 of attend the books waiting to explode, of the warning that been in south fields very much like it could read, not at any moment. this is easily any finality in your southern lebanon,

not thousands of palestinians had been making their way back to northern and gather to what is left of their homes. they found a refuge camp completely destroyed, with no other place to go. many of them have settled, pen, submit the level. now the civilians started to return to their homes. after receipts while due was reached by eas, roland m, us. now many of those displays to file a scene instead of the with found forward to return despite the devastation, large share for when the truce 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 mouth is a bottle 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 that. now spot the ceasefire and hostage exchange between him. us an easel. nearly 300 palestinians have been freed. all those thousands remain and present. now among those really is this right and head of far above liberal library party is these were all a bushy who shed have experience of captivity and the hardships g and your inside and beyond these ready detention a couple of things as palestinians. we always carry a message live and as a writer took care of my board, the weight of this message focusing on conveying the stories of my people and their lived experiences. in joshua,

i've been deeply concerned with palestinian women living under an imposed reality in palestine focusing on her social life on ordinary life, on how women endured struggles for decades as part of their existence in palestine industry. 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 a quote before my arrest, i wrote naturally goodness in any rider basis their work on what their pen and life 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 and present, especially from citizens of gaza, them accordingly,

they affected me profoundly. some of them i could never forget for i hope the world, here's the story, cinnamon can anyway, he told me to me and so 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 to go, and then they confronted me with accusations of incitement and support. according to, thankfully, this deal happened and suffering stopped as it was a very, very difficult ordeal. whatever you read about imprisonment does not compare to what i lived through days were incredibly tough, full of hardship. thank god i got out of pocket and they were monitoring my writing . the conditions in prison were 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 and harsh weather. he moved to the 1st 4 days were incredibly difficult until i was transferred to damon prison. 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 monday. have gone to the fullest agent, but 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 phase they will also be included in such deals. i apologize. i hope the cease fire holds because gaza has suffered greatly

and so have the westbank and all of palestine. 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 for this deal brought relief to those with life sentences. and we're also happy and proud to see them gain freedom. 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 and know it's time for us to live in stability to plot it's a yeah, the chemical suppression of citizens is a terrible thing. not only in prisons, but also in our daily lives. we are all subjected to suppression. for example, today, when i returned, i was suppose to be with my family, but i couldn't. i'm at my brother's home because it's not safe for me or my family

. 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 in jeanine, 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 card i wish international laws would do that because we can't even move freely the field or even when i returned from ramallah to jeanine, it took me over 4 hours on the road. we faced daily suffering on the roads from everyone, settlers, the entire system. we have endured a long period of exhaustion, worry engine security, these wounds and the martyrs, we've lost to the destruction in gaza and the pain and jeanine ethical. 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. the watching the people of gauze have returned even to their destroyed homes, shows that we will not give up this land or leave i just took, in my opinion. it's not the government's but the people who supported us in. and when we saw universities world wide rise up and care about the freedom of the palestinian people, that was our greatest support. hundreds. and so the united states now more than a week into mario rubio is 10 years us secretary of state and the 5. but he's not the meaning of these european counterparts and didn't even bother to call the blocks foreign policy cheese had made me pondering what a brussels was being left out in the cold by the new trumpet administration. and while he has now, finally, it picks up the phone to kind of colors, questions of a just how friendly this friendship is going to be,

remains are to contribute to reach of mass, then discusses the issue. as well as he thought that maybe the european union's chief diplomat kaya calice was a one hit wonder that all she could do every time she opened her mouth was a diplomatic equivalent of a toddler sitting down in the piano and mashing the keys together to bang out chopsticks like tune about how much she hates russia and bottom. you're put in while all the other plans in the circus tent font over her likes you some kind of gifted diplomatic genius. you be wrong? because look out folk, she's branching out for callouses latest axis. trying out the persona of the cheer leader who's desperately trying to get the attention of the dumb jock. that would be washington under the new trump administration. what comes to our relations and i've extended invitation to the secretary of state marco, to join the foreigner for his council, and to explain the views of failure,

united states, and then the most so are willing to have is a washington as soon as possible. yeah, you may notice you if you call them other than public, but why don't just go over there and click down his door already send him a, a 1000 text messages and e mails. i'm sure that'll work. clearly, she is in the rules gal who's into playing hard to get she's doing pretty much the opposite of that. there's a lot of pressure on call us right now in brussels to get rubio to explain this whole green man thing. meaning trumps obsessing about taking over green languages and you territory with 55000 of its citizens like is he for real with all of this are not as if rubio and i was maybe trump doesn't even know at this point or from one day the next anyway, it turns out that review couldn't even be bothered plugging in his webcam for the 0 call. the callous logged in to do with her. u foreign affairs council of numbers. state ministers on monday. hey kaya couldn't use his entourage did send the message through the presto,

which must mean that he's really in to you. rubio didn't show up at the meeting on monday or hop on via zoom. in fact, there was no sign, he replied. when asked about the invitation from callous a spokesperson for rubio said in an email, we have no travel to announce that this time. yeah, it sounds super psyched to speak to our turns out that rubio was blowing up the phone though, calling everyone from the new zealand for our minister to the saudi crown prince. and also the foreign ministers and of jerry cats are egypt, diane morocco, jordan can, yeah. and the dominican republic. and also before a ministers has some e. u. member states, actual countries, unlike the like italy, germany and france, who were actually, you know, run by a democratically elected leaders, unlike calice and cleaners. so as the royal commission and only after all that did rubio actually manage you ready?

this is the tension building here to find out what's going to happen next to sandwich in a call. it's a callous in between the stony informed minister and the rwandan president. and now because he's father to even acknowledge her existence after publicly assessing over him for days like he was russian president vladimir putin, that basically means that the us and the you are totally dating now. good call with us secretary of state rubio. we discussed global issues where the e u and us have the same interest, including russia's war and ukraine. ron's malign influence and challenges posed by china. the you and us are always stronger together looking forward to meeting you soon. wow, it sounds like she's already planning their wedding and they haven't even had our 1st date yet. no word of agreement though, a just quote global issues that the you and us having comments that apparently
