a week 0 and all you simply to treat the most of the president trump has run out of patience with the landscape of the us. president says keith is back tracking on a massive resource deal with watching you get sick of it. you just get sick of it and i've had it come off this handing over 6 is rarely hostages in return for hundreds of palestinian prisoners under the terms of a fragile ceasefire. the plus rushes to the top of diplomat hales the rising global influence of the g 20 after the group's foreign ministers meet. and you'll have the just afternoon here in the russian capital and you're watching

r t international. i am your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. donald trump says he's sick and tired of lot of music. lensky is attempts to back out of a resource extraction deal that he's already to agree to with washington. according to the united states, president key f o is america big time, and it's got to start making payments. so we're going to either sign a deal, or there's going to be a lot of problems with them. so we're going to sign a deal to get security because we have to do that. we're spending like treasure. i've been watching him negotiate with no card says no cards add, you get sick of it. you just get sick of it. and i've had it. and he did made a deal with us for rivers and things. man who knows what river is worth, you know, but at least it's something and who knows what else who is, who knows? they even have it. but we made

a deal with the river. it's and secretary of treasury, a very good guy actually went there and they couldn't even come close to get a good deal then. and frankly, i wish he didn't go to the waste all of his time like that. but they couldn't get close. they met. right, and then when he wanted to get in close is a was unable to meet him again. but the so, so just on wasted trip it dangerous trip to i didn't like it. that's who is doing it. because you know, he's a good man. i didn't want him to be put himself under danger because i had a feeling something like that would happen. at any rate, it looks like washington is late to the party since london got there. first. the british government apparently managed to secure exclusive rights to ukraine's resources just days before donald trump took office. archie's marina costs are of a dig deeper into the story. and it's clear that the u. k. has become very passionate about that ukrainian causal of a sudden,

especially the last couple of months, even as a piece deal seems within range. one of them is determined for ukraine to keep going by using lies brainwashing floods and events. years of support from the european union. here's a small reminder. you know, that the united kingdom continues to be your full most partner. we continue to work alongside you, we continue to support you to the max. and as you fight to surrender as well for anything to work, it has to have your p ends and ukraine is part of it because the premiums and europeans are the ones to meet. so same cement the here in europe. so without does that any d wouldn't just work very grateful to all of those european politicians. that's folk out and read from the values and principles said they are defending. no one is better than presidency. so let's say lensky lets me conclude and this becomes

difficult. the last couple weeks of being in tens and all this was proceeded by another strange moments felt weird landmark agreements between london and kids. talking about unbreakable bonds, felons of age and lots of promises. museum premiums mean use the tiny bit, but there was a visit to the british prime minister, the signing of the 100 year partnership agreement. maybe this is a fundamentally new format of relations between the closest relations are now between ukraine and britain. you know, what we'll do is there is also a secured secret part of the agreement, christy everything that really adds to our resilience and the opportunity to develop something has more energy at cooperation as the agreement sides of right here. it's also summative. so you k as a preferred partner for ukraine's energy sector critical minerals strategy and

green steel production. and there's more now look at the sports supporting developments over ukrainian critical minimal strategy, and necessary regulatory structures required to support the maximize ation of benefits from ukraine's natural resources. well, isn't that nice and potentially lucrative whether you take after all, ukraine has one of the largest mineral deposits of any do a p and country, which would explain the southern friendliness and partnership. maybe that's why that landmark agreements was signed before tom had a chance to get there literally 4 days before his and all duration. and now the us, once in or else we're drawing the new frame, very valuable, rarer, and we want to slowly pull it up to go in terms of the guarantee we want to

guarantee one. we're handing a money hand over fist, we're giving them equipment. so we're looking to do a deal with the brain where they're going to secure what we're giving them with their errors and other things. here's the thing. we don't get our money back and we told them that the deal is we do something more or less us treasury secretary school and best sense even travel to crate it with an early valentine's day presence in the form of a proposal. but it wasn't very well received. here's how it all went down. and scott, this is actually went there. and there was a search you were sleeping and unavailable for me to be traveling many hours on the train, which today they were talking about the 6 or he was there to get a document signed. and when he got there, he came back empty. they were just,

i respect the united states and that's why i said that this document is not ready. and i said there is no word on security guarantees. we agreed that there could be something done about it, but no one knows anything. and if it isn't clear, as i said, let's write the percentages i am defending ukraine. i can't sell our state. you will write some guarantees, and we will write some interest in the memorandum i, i was only told 50. i said, okay, no, i'm just a decision maker and i'm not working on the details of this document. i think president trump is very upset, present zelinski, and i and some case, and rightfully so. look. number one, joe biden had frustrations with zalinski. people shouldn't forget it, their newspaper articles out there about how he cursed adam and a phone call, because zalinski instead of saying thank you for all your help is immediately out there are messaging what we're not doing or what he's not getting. i think the 2nd

thing is, frankly, i was personally very upset because we had a conversation with president zelinski, the vice president and i, the 23 of us. and we discussed this issue about the mineral rights, so we explained to them. but we want to be in joint venture with you, not because we're trying to steal from your country, but because we think that's actually a security guarantee where your partner and an important economic endeavor, we get to get paid back some of the money, the tax payers have given close to $200000000000.00 and um it also, and now we have a vested interest in the security of ukraine and he said, sure, we want to do this deal. that makes all the sense in the world. the only thing is i need to run it through my legislative process for that seems the right skill fair 1st and now is a lot of skis and a bit of a pickle she has from calling him a dictate or without elections has ruined his country. and perhaps sold it off after all, but so those who are unable to provide any security guard sees, even if they tried of steps complements in the boatloads. the prime minister

expressed his support for president zalinski as ukraine's democratically elected leader. and said that it was perfectly reasonable to suspend the elections during more time as the u. k. did during world war 2. this was a man in this country that is country. and still does. he was elect street. he's the like to lead to ukraine. and he's done what winston churchill in britain and 2nd will. and boris, jonathan, the man who just have to button and make sure the conflict kept going through the years ago. what a deal was on the table when we europeans, going to stop being scandalized about donald trump and start helping him to end this war. that's as a car and further as prime minister is even willing to send his own troops. and per pet comes to the committing purchased forces on the ground. alongside up is if there is a last in peace agreement, but the must be a us back stop. because

a us security guarantee is the only way to effectively deter russia from attack. can you create a good? but as you can see, even here, the minutes that us involvement is necessary, which won't happen if they don't get their minerals. so now the question remains, are the minerals there for the taking or have they already been sold? so ukraine's new bus friends which couldn't come. so lensky is final mistake. speaking to us from t of senior research editor at outcome modeling analysis, john complex says so lensky is in trouble on more than just one front of what we've seen with, with the government of ukraine is, is they're basically selling things multiple times. and also trying to sell things whose value is unknown, te, set the stage for president trump, believing that presence of landscape could deliver. and that was, you know,

that was a mistake and, and i think now they're trying to correct it. but now president trump has in his, in his taste buds, this 500000000000 figure president trump the present list soleski are arguing over a potential pile of gold. weird. there's no way to know what it's true value is not withstanding where it is within the internationally recognized territory of ukraine, but how to get it. and is it going to be needed tomorrow in the way it's needed today? so i'm, i'm going to expect that president trump is going to be moved off of this at some point to something else that he perceives is a, is an ability to get a payback to gaza. now we're how boss is releasing 6 is rarely hostages in the latest swap of the v. shaky ceasefire and exchange. hundreds of

palestinians are to be set free from his rarely jail and his commons. just a day after a mix up sol, how moss returned the body of a 1000 woman, instead of a slain hostage, the mistake has since been corrected. archie middle east bureau chief maria panache now has more details on the swamp. both sides and israel and jo, forth in the west bank and ramallah, families and friends hold their breath anxiously waiting to embrace their loved ones. and ordinary citizens also waiting whole thing for smooth return at hostages . squaring tel aviv crowns have been gathering since early morning watching the release of giants queens celebrating the freed hostages most bitten to being sold very 2 of course with those students of c between across the west bank including here in rome. * the mass celebrations are also expected and to prevent the idea has deployed additional forces all across the territories. in the past few hours really forces have broken off public gatherings in anticipation of potential and residents

. if you guys, exchangers are any indication, we can say that it's one stop people from coming together to celebrate, but also to grieve for they over 48000 lives. lost in the gas one after more than $500.00 days. inconsistency is really, really a coin on that event. it on that of samples and ton shown an asset to return home and also expected to be released all of them. and these 2 and the strawman said, who have been held in gaza for over a decade for 16 months as we've covered before, we followed the story of home at event kansas grandmother f. holocaust survivor told us that these months of waiting have been harder than anything she has every yours. we also we painted on min b soon and is really with, after you will see an all region to do to a mental disorder mistakenly crossed in 202013 and was never seen again. and to him asked what is the video of him last year proving he was in live for the 1st on one

of these locations is rough farm, near the diction, once a densely populated area that has been seen of intense fighting and is really for margins for months the 2nd location is in this a rod, a refugee camping central jobs away. the idea of has no ever conducted round maneuvers tearing home to hostages. it was known that most of them could be held there. it was there last summer that the rescue operation by these re army took place. that freeform is really captives including one with russian citizenship when drake has loved the slightest exchange. indeed comes on the extreme. tensions on says is you remember for the 1st time since the seas far began, israel received the remains of hostages. we did not survive the moving tools, devastated and then took an even darker turn. and when they were, the bodies of 2 young children, tragic symbols will do for over 7 attacks of to forensic examinations. this will

excuse her mazda of new during them, with their hands. a direct contradiction to her master's earlier claims, but they were killed by. it's really a strides from us whole. so it was supposed to return the body of the mother, but israel announced the remains. they received belonged to an unknown guys in woman. the response was yours and swift from mister benjamin, send you. i hope you have mazda violating the due, involve it would pay the highest price, and loss has no clue. and all the possibility of a mistake promising investigation while we have foreman its commitments to the agreement and for now we can see is really a form which we have chosen not to disrupt the exchange. and this is why we, we've seen, had the swamp now taking place as in previous exchange is the freed hostages. the 1st time that over to the international red cross, then to the idea of which take them to is ray, the territory there, they will be reunited with their families and undergo medical evaluations. and return is really set to release a 102 palestinian prisoners on such

a day. will then hop were detained after october 7 and will be sent back to gaza, where they're coming from. originally, $200.00 women and miners from the gather sweep released in exchange for the budgets on top of that is the. this also includes 51 prisoner server and live sentences 59 with long prison terms. $108.00 of them will be deported to egypt. as israel doesn't allow them to be released to the west bank, citing security concerns with some also expected to be transferred to other countries. among the most high profile names, county student names is made by who t, one of the longest serving college student prisoners. first convicted in 1978 for murdering and is really a bus driver. he was released during 2011 exchange deal with later rash to violate in his release conditions. also on the lease ballade bullhorn in sentence

23 live terms for a deadly 2015 attack in jerusalem. and halley's of getting a book, i mean convicted of the 2019 murder oven is really american citizen. and the release of these prisoners high profile as is ro calls them with blood on their hands as a one, if you pensions and these real security concerns are growing, of course. but was this deli give exchange on folding? all eyes, in fact are what happens next. the 1st phase of agreement is set to ends next week and on searching to lose told a really significantly delayed have review. finally, israel is demanding the immediate release of the $22.00 remaining leaving hostages, and the public pressure is wrong when the us has said to weave deadline for a deal, but it's really with people believe, warns it is ready to review military operations. if her mazda is not to comply, so this face for and this piece is very fragile,

will this agreement lay the groundwork for more hostages releases, and perhaps even, and then the war will receive renewed hostilities take center stage, so early to say, of course, for now as part of a cease fire is real agreed to release more than a 1000 jail palestinians who did not take part in the october 7th attack. we heard from one of the former convicts who has reunited with his family members after they spend decades a part behind bars. let's see about what's going on. i am the son of the fried prisoner factory, asked for our new town to spend 34 years in the as rarely, occupations. prisons, auto mall, and was released and the prisoner exchange deal. we are 2 brothers, the shoddy and hardy, so that's our family, something that's our father, the 2 sons in our mother. i've spent 22 years in prison. if there were no occupation said we would have lived like any normal family in the world. why it is

we would have had family reunification. we wouldn't have been separated any, but for nearly 50 years we have not been together as a family. we have never been fully. we're united. i'm not since 1978. if there were no occupation and we would have lived a normal life, everyone has dreamed stories. so in the end who are 22 years from me and i know 34 years from my father, 4 years from my brother. as a family, we have spent nearly 60 years in prison who caused those 60 years. not me, not my father, but the occupation. those 60 years. we didn't choose the yeah, to the occupation is responsible for them. they will not us in sunny efficient god. and then of course, there is no comparison between what it was like before october 7 and what it has become. since you can see the situation of prisoners that we should, the entire prisoner movement looks like it has completely changed about so before october, 7th, prisoners had a form of self governance. the prisoners movement control the prison environment.

we had control over the prison administration and the guards meeting we had authority over them is about they respected our presence. but after october, 7th, everything changed at all. there were no more red lines. how the orders were issued, effectively permitting the killing of prisoners shut off on the weather, directly or indirectly executing a prisoner has become normal for them in the hey, of just as massacres are being committed in gaza, they have no problem transferring that same brutality to his really presently, she's stealing to 3. is that 4 or even 5 prisoners that got it doesn't matter to them and say, treatises mere numbers as if we are nothing. in fact, all of them were like being there and extremist from the prison guard. so the top officials shut off the policies and orders were clear, color, strip us of everything to best take away all our achievements and resources and leave nothing in our rooms on the confiscated everything above. we were allowed only 2 sets of clothes, nothing else. 1 we were given just a plastic plate,

a plastic spoon, anaplastic coffee. mine told me that was all i own. and beyond that, no electricity. for 6 months, we weren't allowed to exit our rooms. we were subjected to extreme restrictions. all that we were allowed was a mattress and a blanket, and that was it. every room became a solitary cell. each room was turned into an isolation chamber. the room was 20 square meters and a show and we were 10 prisoners inside that man. each prisoner had only 2 square meters of space with the that was my entire world to square meters for 6 months, confined to that space number because it was a prison within a prison and a lot of the bus. ready ready $150.00 how to get the unity of the prisoner's movement delayed and postponed, the full scale attack auto. instead they started stripping away our achievements, graduate level. the prison administration didn't want to direct confrontation with the prisoners movement because there was a decision at the time to go on an open ended hunger strike. if there was an attack

on our rights to, if the prison administration launched in assault to revoke our achievements above, the response was clear during this i haven't been to prisoners would declare a hunger strike as a form of resistance. and this made the prison administration under ben beers leadership law. so i would take a step back, but as we learned about it through the media, because at that time we still have access to television and radio. and a lot of things, we're still somewhat normal more than through the television. we realize that a major event had happened to you had something significant minnesota development in gaza. ok, let's just saw. and then we heard about the outbox of flood operation. we understood that something major had happened coming, but we also knew that there would be a price to pay, and that the cost would be severe for us. how to get in the, in the prisoner's movement would bear the consequences. you know, there would be retaliation against us, something else we were prepared for it. but just as we expected, mean, within hours of the battle in the war beginning, the present administration started storming the cells. they force the prisoners out and confiscated all our belongings. my leisure,

nothing was allowed to remain in the room and put off absolutely nothing that costs, but for us that wasn't what really mattered. and what, losing our possessions and having everything taken from our rooms didn't feel like a real losses. we were starving and look at what prisoners were losing 3540 and even 50 kilograms issue. so why, why did we still have hold the car? and then despite all the killing and gaza, we still believe we would be freed in a prisoner exchange for this was a psychological, more economical haynes. i shall say. my release however, was completely unexpectedly for lodge. i had no idea i was going to be freed because was told that my release would be in the 2nd phase of the deal. intelligence officers informed me. you are not leaving in this phase and you will be in the 2nd phase in the way from so i had already accepted that i wouldn't be leaving yet. my only concern was getting through the 1st page. i thought it'd became a struggle. i just wanted to get through the 1st 42 days, so i could start counting down the last 43 days and then suddenly

a guard called my name over the loudspeaker. shoddy, l bar duty or is it getting ready for thursday at 2 o'clock to i was confused and get ready for what t. huh. i thought it was just the lawyers visit him. i. i figured my family had sent a lawyer to check on the ballpark. so i told the other prisoners that don't worry, i'll ask the lawyer to let your families know that you're well, isn't it funny? i reassured them saying, yeah, don't worry. i'll make sure the lawyer gets in touch with your families and tell them how you're doing and present the whole thing. but then the guard told me, for me, says shoddy pack up your belongings. that didn't make sense. why would i pack my things if i was just seeing a lawyer? i mean, why did i have to hand over my clothes, my blanket and my mattress? i'm and then at that moment i started wondering and saw was this a punishment? was i being transferred to another section? who was i being moved to another prison? one of the guys from jerusalem helped gather my things and handed them over to the guards and assuming it was just part of a routine transfer. but then he overheard him speaking and hebrew and it's,

and they said release. and he's being free and with a group of 7 town. and that's when he realized i was actually going home in the exchange deal now because he immediately ran to tell me a lot. shoddy, shoddy, sullen, won't cut off. and like i asked him, what's wrong? he said me, you're going home and home at that moment. i had actually been playing chess, of course the feeling was indescribable. i was like moving from the gray to the light, from death back to life and i've shut the pipe person who has been separated from his family for years. my father and i only knew each other through prison visits upstairs when my father was in prison. i was just year old because i got to know him only through those brief meetings. with my father spent 34 years in prison and was released and a prisoner exchange. i was also released and the prisoner exchange. and thankfully, after $47.00 or 48 years, we were finally reunited as a family shop it on the 20 is

a prime platform for solving the most pressing issues of the global south. that's according to russia, served a lab rob, who has been sitting down with other top diplomats of the group for tots in south africa. r t correspondence and all of wheel coon gay is there with the full details . on the 2nd day of the duty to foreign ministers meeting angel had his red russian . foreign affairs minister, save a lot for on describe the results off the meeting as positive, according to him. important to feelings were reached. the minister noted the screen sitting off the roll line instead was on duty for the global south and even for the gold at lots from the minister statement. it was clear that the evolution of the people of 20 continues to train between was a multiple, the system international relations and increasing the economy into dependence. and also got a sense that such a system requires global governance independent is near to of diplomacy. and of

course, that's also coming from what he said earlier about neo colonial practices. i'm fly fishing and politics, the economy, and even the social areas. repeatedly the mind you can be as we turn our colleagues attention to very significant data, especially because it's marked in the year of africa's chairmanship of g 20 to that just the 65 year anniversary of the un declaration on the granting of independence to colonial countries. and people's ignorance, that on our country back then soviet union should play the leading role in adopting that historic documents. but despite success achieve since by the countries of the global cell which were liberated from the yoke of exploitation, the problem has not been resolved completely. first of all, there are still 17 non self governing territories across the world. colonial dependence has been mostly replaced by neo colonialism. the former metric poles in western transnational corporations have monopolized the markets, the supply chains, and use advantages they have to because of that to drain resources and raw

materials from asians. some african in the latin american countries. se then produced added value in their own facilities for making maximum profits from the whole process, which this is unacceptable in the 21st century. and that does not mean mr. olsen notes as that to the global economy is distinguished by on equal gross disability spending bad with all the conflicts that are happening around the bowls. you can only imagine how much of a problem that really is a 4020 members. nobody coming because it is the global economy is characterized by the disproportionate growth of military spending in assessment by western specialist says it amounts to $2.00 trillion dollars per year. and so lensky is regina is, of course, a flagrant example of this. it absorbs or did absorb military aid in the amount of hundreds of billions dollars, so that could have been spent on critically important development programs across the globe. so, 1st and foremost, in africa, to little for you by the way,

the international monetary fund and the world bank are setting records in aiding the zalinski regime, giving loans and credit succeeding those given to african and the other developing countries by many times put all that so the minister sees the modern world is becoming more rather being transformed drastically and becoming truly multiple of the ukraine complex was arguably the biggest item on the agenda for discussion. tell me more, tell us more about what la problem said the concept on the united states. relations among subjects discussed between the top to pro maxima and the meeting sidelines, even though the minister says you've opened nations and the allies would not particularly be happy about the talks between russia and the united states. but the good thing is that a number of to 3 to countries have expressed support to the if it's a dedicated to piece, including the recent consensus reach between the united states and russia,

which i'm not even saying a window for peace is opening on the goals but happy to listen to what minister levitt office has had to say about that. the sheep up with previous attempts by the west to ukraine eyes the agenda of g 20. we're torpedoed by the rest of the group. members. if you look at the final documents, when all the g 20 members finally agreed to include a short text on geo political issues, you will not find anything in them that could be rejected by the russian side. the g 20 group as a whole. if we're talking about the structures that play a certain role in the international economic relations retains the role of a platform for dialogue between the old and new centers of power. and we spoke in favor of maintaining the economic profile of this association as it was supposed and agreed upon at the very beginning of its creation in 2008 without politicizing the agenda, as our western colleagues have been trying to do in recent years. these attempts have always been unsuccessful, but they take a lot of strength and nerves from the other participants. and because westside dana .
