existence has only exists the least of the facilities, the medical facilities, and also medical to form a trace schemes they affected by the fighting. yes. the reason potentially they have enquiries associated with that. the red cross cells villamore over the fighting the democratic republic of congo, wanting that if the balancing golf with the pentagon funded by a lot, that the consequences could be catastrophic. all being beyond a south africa tales were one down at 80 further attacks against its peacekeeping. forces in the d r. c will be treated as an act of war. it comes up to 13 of his troops were recently killed. i bid the ongoing valves a new beginning at the

man who was the top of the syrian government is proclaimed, the country is next lead to ahmed. all shut off, also known as mohammed al, july the has been appointed. he's 5 sessional president and it's authorized to for my girlfriend, the we're continuing our coverage of the latest dread and shaping the world right now. this is our to, to national i a michael course check. all right, as fighting continues to rage in the east of the democratic republic of congo civilians doing just phase the risk of attack. the red cross is wanting that, that me viruses could be released from the us, funded by a liability area. if it ends up in the firing live, there are a lot of dentures, that's all related to that tax on essential civilian infrastructure, potential damage to essential civilian infrastructure. and these by law is just the

uh why the example of the potential consequences that would happen if for water 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 heavy fighting and highly of the team the rate is used in these highly populated areas. what we're seeing today and i would need to concern is a fairly high number of wounded people and half of them us civilians and looked at women and children. and of course, the lease of the facilities, medical facilities, and also medical, the dormitories that are experiencing power costs and as they 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 looting of a warehouse single mom where we have our medical supplies that we are using to treat people in social 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 t r c has been unfortunately something that's we also refer to us from lots of crisis for many years because these country has been experiencing our conflicts to for the case. and for us is that you, many tablets open this ation. of course,

it's more and more difficult to cheap 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 and zip somebody take action that will bring us stability and peace to people in government. because basis, 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. now the way i see these of chaos in the countries capital ask for testers, the tie is blocked the roads and targeted the embassies that they accuse for empowers of supporting the m 23 in such and such have been wrecking havoc in the

countries east at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds aged beyond. busy bouldin's several embassies, including wanda's where attack my protest as in the capital all of this is the property of our country, even though we have sit fired with no one regrets. this. those who have died in government are worth more than anything we've destroyed here. what we're doing is not so bad. we have nothing to blame ourselves for. if the ones hadn't killed our brothers and sisters, we wouldn't be here. they're up, they're hiding. polk gum, a must understand that we, the congolese people are angry. if this building falls, then let it fall. we worked 5 kilometers to get here. we have only one desire to destroy this house. look at these chairs i took, no one is going to stop me. i'm at home here in my own country. i can't just in control, so there has been large scale protests against the rwandan aggression. recall that

there are 3 key players involved in this aggression, the militant group, march 23rd movement, which the congo lease authorities considered to be an empty shell, as well as cornel named gauze coalition. the congo river alliance, and rwanda itself. the groups main allies in pursuit of their own goals, the presence of the rwandan army in the city of goma, the aggression, by golly, this is no longer a secret, is causing conflicting opinions. among the congo least people who hesitate between negotiations and the continuation of the war until the complete liberation of all territories under the control of the rwandan army. the expert says that the process is initiated in lawanda and i, robi, must be set in motion to resolve the conflict. the armed conflict between the d, r. c and rolanda has been going on for 30 years waxing and waning naturally, the conflict favors kigali, which illegally extracts resources from this territory rich and various rare metals

. the head of the d. r. c. contacted the new us secretary of state by phone on this issue. the one of the times being hurting kinshasa was death to imperialists that some exploits claim that the colonial legacy lies at the heart of the valve ins. currently plague in the country that funds on your bays. the electra deals keep them by shared his thoughts on the issue before a t a t for it's awfully. cox was literally organized in different thoughts in a different manner in a different way. so begin the partition in 18. 84. you are bored. that's actually where you know, drop without parking lot of science. so let me dement 3 borders that we have rolling in in, in the lead. we felt the presence of buffering guns have actually been wiped in the

cause of these conflicts more the more that they, you know, the, the results, you know, what has to be now branded as a resource costs. so there is those costs come see as a next fix off, but i think the, the, to see, you know, being in the article, it's quite justifiable. the truth is indeed all africa problems. by and large, i pulled up problems on they were created. i saw submitted inmate job in 1884 because the door. oh, i think i've bought us where i've never seen off the car before or at least we're never even off because i am deeply cutting out of the research. i'll go in and see . i'm the recall the recalls themselves, remo trip events or the bentley, we have back to square one. right. politicians, some young crew mob believes that the only solution to the conflict is to seek the

inspiration from the 5 is a fine. i think and as a it is to that, this conflicts has its own regions, decades a weight. and because of the fallout of the, the situation in rewind and projected sides and, and against the, the people that i would say mainly again for to see back on. so again, some of the things we do not, we're not saying that this is purely academic conflict. because it's not, and it's just the i'm really practicing for including the fact that unfortunately in our free care we still have not been always publish a pen. next, we can military high command,

a common continental self defense strategy. and this is one of the things that, or how you news of african units like our project at farming to above done. and i this, this is one of the main points that the me wednesday organization of african unit c, which is to be the african union was founded. and they advised us for people that democrats tweet to ensure peace and security and economic progress interest credits for the people arrested care is if as 3 k unites, if we worked towards the establishment of a union of african states by now, i'm sure they would be much fewer conflicts. meanwhile,

some optic us as for team soldiers forbids peacekeeping mission and the d. r. c had been killed. president soon run up with that said that the troops were only there to maintain order. however, his defense minister has one is that any father attached could be considered an act of war. so the stage window is by the above, i use the present due to one them to so you feel when can, if i take it as a deal that i shall fall in just in that people indefinitely divided what's as well . so the fact is defense for sign, the defense administer a once again coming on the fire and you miss you conflicting central africa. this time the seating is the democratic republic of congo, as we've heard the news that so that's a good to. so coming, i'm defiant and not for the 1st time in that region, raises a few questions, many all scheme. what is it doing to and why is it on the attack? and for a nation at peace,

it does seem to be doing an awful lot of fighting 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 tends on the a and to my law. we allow, we has also been hit by the recent fighting in the d. c. the 3 of its 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 the african troops were part of the united nations peacekeeping efforts in the country in the early 2, thousands and the split tissues. and the routing party have also tried their hand at 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 government has tried to assume the mantle of african dealership and for better or worse, they have backed up their commitment with boots 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 be the they've been involved in many you in peacekeeping missions to the d. c. sanctioned by the united nations security council, which gave us the rather the presence legitimacy on the international law 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. nonetheless, ad 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 the so that's a cost, but some of the statements that you're seeing coming from south africa side has been criticized by the $1.00 that particularly the one made by defense minister engine would say, what happened is until the one does the swans 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 the firing came from errand 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 both in the d. c has never been clear up to side with them. protect the congolese president, chief of katy, his genocidal allies, the law, his many local militias and his european mercenaries. let's just hit the record straight. we will probably hear from the defense minister. and so the africa engine was said about what that warning was about who it was made to. and by whom, specifically, because we also understand places in from a post. i did hold a telephone conversation, but he's the one to come to forward to president can call me to discuss the recent um, escalation of that conflict. but the admission doesn't seem to be going well so far that and reading off for south africa. and at this stage,

the president of the country has v, as in pretoria, as commitment to peace urging everyone to respect to the dfcs activity and to to engage in different metrics processes to end the conflict. and also the advocate member of parliament call near house says that this current lead not enough information to get a clear picture of what's happening, but that he believes victoria must withdrawal each forces and push for an immediate cease fire. so i think they should not get involved in a conflict between the d r c and the one that the nation that we were told by the south african government to the executives to sing full was specifically for peacekeeping. michigan. and we are concerned, i just need to know, make freedom fighters. that peacekeeping shouldn't roll the cold as it may be. how does the people come so that you can see under the circumstances?

well, we do want to see peace in the d r. c impact we want to see is silencing hope, the guns. i'm not sure x needs this automatic on board one. the governments have all the intelligence to be able to be sure what exactly happened on the ground day . so it sounds to me like they offered me statements being made and i would like to 3 ways and bring it to all parties to be careful with those statements to hold on allegations because. busy the end of the day, we must move on to what happened in this last couple of days there on the 1st so to speak. and we must move to a phase way. we are going to negotiate a truce and to cease fire. it is in the interest all. so every good and the troops of the south african national defense souls that such the sci fi must be negotiated

so that we can go through because under the current circumstances, we do not have the result of this. we do not have the supply line to be able to protect our troops and guaranteed a safety. and to that, that means, if we call them do that. but they must have to take the and let's head to the middle east. now in december he slipped aside the resume of boss over the side in syria. and now just over a month later, he slipped into the presidency and that's off the almost all sure. also known as mohammed al, july me was named as the countries interim, lead to an authorized to form a transitional government. now with all the details here was all to use my pin notion of a historic shift. serious new leadership is dismantling the legacy of the solid era, setting the stage for an entirely new political and security order. so there is the

fact to leader i met on the shut off has been declared the president for the transitional period. according to the survey and state news agency and they knew authorities have the souls the people's assembled, the army, all security services and arm gloves, while also suspending the countries previous constitution. charles, entering my administration will now form i legislative council to run the country into a permanent constitution is approved. and in another major move, the boss party, which will see ray of for all was 6 decades, is no more. it marks the end of the socialist policies that have shapes the races, $9.00 to $63.00 and a new government is already talking about privatizing state owned assets, subtracting for an investment, and we open an international trade show its reminder of the shake up and see where it didn't come out of nowhere and they started in late november when armed opposition groups led by high. yeah, definitely. the strong launched a lightning fast defensive, the h t, as is

a college sion of syria bass soon as lisbon surgeon groups that rolled from to have had that in no strong unconscious form of branch and syria made them shut off. was the group's key fever and just days they seized the vast territories, ultimately capturing damascus. eventually by side of the side was forced to step down and left. the country for dislike is sweeping changes, and norms. challenges lie ahead. see where it is in deep economic crisis. verginus with that time instead of a state of infrastructure, rebuilding the country could cost as much as $400000000000.00 experts say, and amount fabio, and see where his coverage is to dp and politically. the road ahead is just as tricky. the new government must find a way to negotiate with kurt or slat forces in the north of the country. and also of course, bring together a very or is armed groups into a unified national army. so see where it is now standing at the cross rose, what happens back some shape is future for decades. what does all these me now for

the region in full siri as relations with other countries, international reactions, well mixed. some western nations are cautiously optimistic, but waiting to see real action on promise political reforms before fully engaging. one major shift already in motion you asked and you were being sanctions have been eased. offer in serious some economic breathing room. but full normalization, still a long way off as the world watches what happens next. the sweeping changes come just a day after delegation from russia visited the syrian capital russians deputy form . an estimate is clear, despite the power shift relations between moscow and damascus, will not change in nature. 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 in leadership, principled approach remains unchanged because in our view, in the national unity, just the key to preserving the sovereignty and unity of the syrian arab republic. we discussed the issues of our trade and economic relations as well as the important infrastructure project. we would like to express our gratitude for the fact that our citizens and facilities would not home during these recent events. and when it comes to series neighbors, one relationship spends out a 0 and a surprise and turns it was new leadership has found common ground was telling me if these really prime minister benjamin and yeah. so even cold earlier, did you, how does take over of syria at historic day in the middle is try to thing israel with helping bring down a side. but there is a catch is really troops have since moved to secure key positions in southern syria, particularly in the switch. you to go on hides and now is what is defense minister

says they are not leaving. mount had them on, there was a receipt is still plays anytime soon, so i'll be sure i have the id f will remain on mount hoffman and in the security zone for an unlimited time to insure the security of the communities of the golan heights and the north and all the residents of the state of israel. so as syria steps into these on charlotte waters, the road ahead is anything but smooth the wheel test. well, whether this new leadership can unite the country, protects human rights and turn you found international support into last instability. now and what has become a much of the mass, rita, and thousands of policy the invest slowly, making the way back to the north of the enclave. to see for themselves, if there is anything left of their homes, booklet, fixed scenes of total destruction greeted them and was nowhere to stay. people had been forced to set up tents. i made the rubble of the spot,

the devastation benny set that the way just happy to be home. a large share for 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. and also part of the ceasefire deal between have mass and ease

roll. nearly 1400 palestinians had been freed from these rainy jills, although thousands remained behind bars. now among those relieved this right and had a forward most library apology is. these were all bushy. who should have experience with us? listing as palestinians. we always carry a message and as a writer took care of my board, the weight of this message and focusing on conveying the stories of my people and their lived experiences. for 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 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 basis their work on what their pen and life circumstances dictate would be for. so i wrote too full of please during my imprisonment and it was the same that when i heard many, deeply moving stories in prison, but especially from citizens of gaza, they affected me profoundly. some of them, i could never forget it. i hope the world. here's the story and then one can anyway, he told me you know, 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 in 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. but 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.

how come the finished agent 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 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. who 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. that's a lot. 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 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. the engineering 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, 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 in jeanine 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. yeah, we will never agree to leave 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, in my opinion. it's not the governments 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. and the theater with a wide hawk to the companies where you can get for the details of all the stories we're following. now thanks for watching by now the, [000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the hello and welcome to cross software. all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle.

trump says he wants to end the conflict in ukraine. his rhetoric appears to
