and the live pictures from casa warehouse is handing over 6 is really hostages in return for hundreds of palestinian prisoners under the turn of a fried trial season by the president. trump has run out of patience with the landscape as the us leader says, key a is back tracking a lot of massive resource deal with washer. you get sick of it. you just get sick of it. and i've had it the flux has 11 and prepares to host thousands of foreign guests for the official funeral. assigning us for a law has full of remains defiance, spite last year's killing of a long time leader by the idea of the

just after 1 pm here in moscow, and you're watching our t international. my name's donald quarter. welcome to the program. as we begin this news hour with gaza, where how boss is releasing 6 is rarely hostages. in the latest swap of the shaking cease fire that's currently in place and exchange, hundreds of palestinians are to be set free from is really jails. and scheduled for around 4 pm mosque out time, we are expected to see another 2 prisoners be handed over through these live pictures that you're going to that you can see behind me right now. as you can see there, the international red cross has already arrived. they were there earlier as well there where a mouse has set up their area where they are handing over their side of the ceasefire agreement. so we're going to be covering that throughout the entire day as this a series of swaps rather than just want to swap or continues to be under way. you

can see a lot of people are there not just a mouse out the sombre gate militants, but also many people in civilian clothing that have come to see this historic event as well. and this is all again, part of the system fire deal that was agreed to the shaky seas. fire deal, i should say, between a mouse and the is rarely authorities. now this also comes just a day after a mix up. so how must return the body of a gauze in woman instead of a slaying hostage that it was supposed to return on to this deal, but that apparent mistake since has been corrected. earlier. we spoke with our cheese middle east bureau chief maria phenomena, and she told us more about the ongoing spot on both sides and israel. and here, of course, in the west bank and ramallah, families and friends hold their breath anxiously waiting to embrace their loved ones and ordinary citizens also waiting hosting for a smooth return at hostages square. and tel aviv crowns have been gathering since

early morning watching the release of giants queens celebrating the freed hostages most the end of being so very to of course with those students of cvt and across the westbank, including here in rome. * the mass celebrations are also expected and to prevent it the idea of 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 rest. but if you guys, exchangers are any indication, we can say that it's one stop people from coming together to celebrate, but also to we've full, they over $48000.00 lives, lost in the gas after more than 500 days, inc. if tippett t is really really a coin on that event on that of samples and tons showing the asset to return home. and also expected to be released all of them in these 2. and the strawman said, who have been held in garza for over a decade for 16 months as we've covered before we followed the story of all might

have been cancelled. 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, you know, regions who due to a mental disorder mistakenly crossed in 202013 and was never seen again. and to him also, what is the video of him last year proving he was in live for the 1st on one of these locations is rough phone, me the diction who once a densely populated area that has been seen of intense fighting and is really been margins for months, the 2nd location is in this a rod, a refugee camping central jobs away. the idea of has never conducted ron maneuvers tearing home to hostages. it was known that most of them could be held there. it was there last summer. that's a rescue operation by these really are me to place that's 3 full is read to captives including one with russian citizenship. when drake has loved the slightest

exchange, indeed comes on the free intentions on says is you remember for the 1st time since the feast far began, israel received the remains of to judge who did not survive the movement towards the stage and then took an even darker turn and wondering were the bodies of 2 young children. tragic symbols will do for over 7 attacks of the forensic examinations. this will accuse 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 surprise 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 and woman. there was supposed was yours in swift from mister benjamin, can you? i hope you come off of violating the du involved. it would pay the highest price mouse has not told all the possibility of a mistake promising investigation while we have form and its commitments to the

agreement. and for now, we can see is really a form which is have chosen not to disrupt the exchange. and this is why we, we've seen how this works now taking place. as in previous exchange is the freed hostages are 1st handed over to the international red cross, then to the idea of which take them to is rating territories there they will be reunited with their families and ongoing medical evaluations in 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 women and miners from the guns. a sweep released in exchange for the buzz is on top of that is the least also includes $51.00 prisoners serving lives, sentences $59.00 with long prison terms. 108 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 cali, seen in names, is made by who sees one of the longest serving college student prisoners 1st could evicted a 1978 for murder and, and his re bus driver. he was released during 2011 exchange deal, but later re arrested for violating his release conditions. also on the lease ballade bullhorn in sentence 23 live terms for a definitely 2015 attack in jerusalem and holly exhibiting a book, i mean convicted of the 2019 murder oven is really american citizen. and the release of these present or is high profile as is ro calls them with blood on their hands as well when, if you pensions and these rel, security concerns are growing, of course. but was deli, give exchange on folding all eyes, in fact, are what happens next. the 1st space of agreement is set to ends next week and,

and certainly to move towards a ready, significantly delayed, have reviewed. finally, israel is demanding the immediate release of 22 remaining leaving hostages, and the public pressure is wrong when the us has set a 2 week deadline for a deal. but israel repeatedly warns it is ready to review military operations if have mice does not comply. so this phase fire and this piece is very fragile, will disagreements leave the ground work for more hostages releases, and perhaps even then the war will receive renewed hostilities. take center stage thoroughly to say, of course, for now turning now to the west. the us has reportedly threatened to ukraine with shutting off access to e. one must star link satellite network unless key of signs of proposed resource extraction deal. donald trump has said that he's literally sick of lot him is the lensky is attempts to back out of the agreement according to the us presidency of

o as america, big time, and it's time to start paying up. so we're going to is assign a dealer. 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 our 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 then made a deal with us for rivers and things. man who knows what river it is worth. so 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 done. 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 as close as a was unable to meet him again. but the so, so just of wasted trip indeed, jewish trip to i didn't like it that he was doing it because you know, he's a good man. i didn't want him to be put himself under danger because that a feeling something like that would happen. at any rate, it looks like washington is late to the party since london got there 1st. the british government apparently managed to secure exclusive rights to ukraine's resources just dates before donald trump took office ortiz marine a culture of a dig deeper into the story. it is clear that the u. k. has become very passionate about the ukrainian causal of a sudden, especially the last couple of months, even as a peace deal seems within range. one of them is determined for ukraine to keep going by using lies brainwashing floods and even tiers 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 this will 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 this, the any d wouldn't just work very grateful to all of those european politicians that spoke out and read from the values and principles said they are defending, no one did this better than presidency senate. so lensky, let me conclude, and this becomes difficult, the, 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, billions of a, then lots of promises. v as in frame, you mean use the tiny bit, but there was a visit of the british prime minister, the signing of the 100 year partnership agreement. maybe this is a fundamentally new format of relations. the closest relations are now between ukraine and britain. you know, what we'll do? there is also a secure secret part of the agreement, christy, everything that really adds to our resilience and the opportunity to develop some has more energy at cooperation as the agreement states right here. it also cements to 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 ukranian critical minimal strategy, and necessary regulatory structures required to support the maximization of

benefits from ukraine's natural resources as 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. well, actually 4 days before his an all duration. and now the us, once in or else we're going to rain very valuable, rarer and we want to slowly pull it up to go in terms of the guarantee we want to guarantee we 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 earlier 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 when you were sleeping and unavailable for me to be traveling many hours on the train, which today we're talking about the 6 or he was there to get a document signed. and when he got there, he came back and they were just, i respect to 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. 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 it also, and now we have a vested interest in the security of ukraine and he said, sure, we want to do this deal. it makes all the sense in the world. the only thing is i need to run it through my legislative process. well, it seems a broad scope there 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 staff complements in the boat loads. 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 war time as the u. k. did during world war 2. this was a man's in these country, and that is country and still goes. he was elect street. he's the like to lead to

ukraine. and he's done what winston churchill said, 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 do we, europeans going to stop being scandalized about donald trump and stopped helping him to end this war. that's as a car in for it as prime minister is even willing to send his own troops and per pet consider committing purchased forces on the ground along side of those. if there is a lost and peace agreement, but the must be a us back stop. because i us security guards, it is the only way to effectively, to, to 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 could become lensky, is final mistake. earlier my colleagues unit know neil discussed the latest ukraine drama with us. conservative commentator, jo altman, for remember, they've been walking away from the table to get to a peace deal for several years. it's not that there wasn't an appetite on your side or on russian side to come to some sort of agreement. and it's not as said vladimir put and wanted to get involved in this, in this war to begin with, right? this was, this was an offensive that was set out very strategically in order to take care of, of things inside of ukraine, that frankly, you created it by any other terms that you can create in president and the people in ukraine would have been charged with warcraft so instead, what they've done is projected what they have done to their own people and, and frankly, the appetite is not there because more is very profitable for really bad people. and piece is not something that bad people see cuz as a resolution,

so i think you're gonna see some, some shift, things happen to ship things happen as people start seeing what the benefits are of having a peaceful society or a peaceful world. and these people, even in, in europe who have been disabled rattlers that are continuing down the same pass it by them, was this, the people in those countries don't have any appetite for their either. is lensky saying that he in the u. k. sign that special agreement about 100 years into the future, etc. but it's the same minerals that donald trump is asking at for and exchange for. for 8. it leaves the question joe can can't really give all its boxers what they want. i think it comes down to who's entitled to the things that, that they want and a lot can be said about the u. k and the european union, but they've never put their money where their mouth was. and i don't agree with the war, and i don't agree with what the us did of crating this proxy war with russia. i think

it was a mistake. and i think it hurt relations that frank, we're going to take a long time to heal. but at the same time, we still put up $2300000000000.00 to the, to easily 50 or, or $75000000.00 that came out of the out of europe is i don't believe that they have a stake as high as united states, nor do i believe that they can re peaceful more. there's a new crane that's that, that ukraine seats. i also believe that with the us there it's, it's a disadvantage of the european union because i don't believe the trump and or the incoming administrations of a were able to get the safe and secure elections. the united states will have an appetite for a week, and nobody in the united states wants to be at war with russia. and frankly, there's much more to be gained by having a partnership with russia than there ever would be. and having a partnership with the country like you create. so there's no, there's no benefit for i think the people of ukraine to have the u. k. come in to be able to suck all their rare or metals. but i do believe that there is a benefit to the united states and in a lot of different ways,

because with the right leadership in the united states, i think the partnership between russia and the united states could be very, very powerful. we go now to lebanon, where people from 79 countries are arriving to attend to sundays. funeral of iconic has below liter house on natural law. he was assassinated and be rude by israel in september, and his body has since been held at an undisclosed location. now that all the preparations for the official ceremony had been made, our chief correspondent steve sweeney filed this report from the lebanese capital and they were tired. so one of the biggest events and evidence recent history, the funeral of slain, has been laid aside. house on us for all the locals found out food sweet, some water, his picture displayed across the city. hundreds of thousands of are expected to attend with guests from 8080 countries. how the share this funeral is an honor of those who shed their holy blood a day that embodies the greatness of our country. this is a day of unity, not

a day of separation. we will continue this path with determination, awareness and renewed vigor. we hold back tears in our eyes, working hard to achieve the goals set in us by the 2 martyrs. this is the day of commemoration of the oppressed, the leader of the oppressed, in the struggle against the oppressors. this is a day dedicated to the martyr of humanity in the struggle against imperialism. phone named paul ridge share community 3 kilometers from the agency of tire. that's on the road is to become one of the most important tickets in the region. revealed by his support is his image, it owns billboards and buildings across the country. for many he was and remains a symbol of resistance to as well. 11 ends of identity in 2006, i'm not necessarily his leadership has, but i was able to defeat one of the most powerful military forces on the planet, cementing his reputation in the region of some domestic. israel's original goal was the subjugation of the resistance and its surrender,

stopping the resistance and knocking it out of this battle ship. the lebanese front will not stop until the aggression against the cause of stops. i say clearly, no matter what sacrifices have been made, no matter what the consequences, the resistance in lebanon continues to support and assist the people of gauze. the people of the west bank and the oppressed in this holy land. that is our 1st response, preventing the israelis from achieving that goal in july, when that sort of spoke and never didn't seem to grind to a halt, people gathering around television set. so listening carefully to every word, the voice for his anatomy is what he said, mounted it mounted to the mechanic, the newest, the street clean up. it's also have mounted to the lebanese government and to world leaders. and i found it was killed here in the southern suburbs in september 2024 by us, supplied bunker, busting palm. he died among his people who said that his multitude was the ultimate sacrifice for the people of gaza and also the people of lebanon. some of her son,

those were law, was not just the general secretary for us. he has always been a spiritual father. the idea of resistance is embodied in him as a man who had become a father to all of us. a funeral on sunday is not a farewell to an ordinary person, but a confirmation that the idea of resistance will live forever. natural law lives in our hearts, and this will be reflected in the number of people who will follow his last path. if he's not just a person, he is a terminal because his idea is embodied in resistance and this idea will never disappear. and that's just not. our participation on sunday confirms that despite all the destruction and loss of natural law, we still support the resistance. we will not give it up, no matter the price. resistance is an idea, and an idea does not die. only defeat or is taking place 5 months off to his desk. during that time is ro remain determined to destroy his body, but it was safely daunted. on sunday side house on the front it will be very easy

to find a resting place. not far from here. he will live on forever. in the home is a c, c. these are all the, the one far away nation that's been consistently back in palestine is indonesia. that's where students from the middle east star giving a chance to pursue their studies in an atmosphere of peace. archie corresponded rebecca not the tupelo as the story to a commitment to education as a form of solidarity. this has been in a nation, us approach to supporting palestine. ever since president pablo so, bianca served as minister of defense. he initiated a scholarship program that allows palestinian students to study at the end of myisha defense university. now under his presidency, this program continues strengthening and initials, role in providing educational opportunities for those affected by conflict. the scholarship program which weekend in 2023 opened stores of opportunity for 20 to

palestinian students each year to pursue fully funded undergraduate studies. in various subjects. the most popular fields are medicine, pharmacy, and engineering. currently 40 for palestine and students are studying under this program, which is a smarter about diplomacy as it is about education. for me that what is happening in palestine is a special concern to the indonesian government. the indonesian government has historically been very consistent with indonesia support for the palestinian cause, but so the existence of the defense university is seen by the president as one of the potential ways that we can help the palestinian people, especially to prepare for the future of palestine in terms of human resources, not very c, c, no, said i, jeremy, a student from he bron westbank is one of the fortunate recipients of these full scholarships. after completing the 10 months indonesian language class,

he is not only confident in his indonesian language skills, but excited to pursue his dream of becoming a doctor. yeah, any cheaper to get this i a, this is my dream from childhood. yes. to help people, especially my mother, she has asthma, i want to be a doctor, a long specialist. already the same dream lingers inside jihad mohammed, another student from huron, who has chosen to study pharmacy for the next 5 years. now, when i come back to palestine, i want to help my country as it is facing will right now. there are a lot of people who need help. the acknowledge that the language barrier is their greatest challenge. however, their classmates and lectures have created a supportive learning environment and then do that. my friends and lecture is explained everything in a formal language and at a slower pace if that are points that i don't understand. i will have someone to

explain it to me. the school transfers the same spirit of support, helping make the transition to the tranquil academy setting a profound experience for the students. so i could argue that the lecturers also acknowledge the challenges that students who are not 100 percent fluent yet an indonesian are facing. so they need special attention a certain way of teaching, talking slower, so that the explanation can be clear. but i think there are not many obstacles. the teachers can understand the students and they know what they have to do to overcome these issues. the students are grateful for the opportunities to brochure their dreams. i'm at the situation back home. their biggest supporters remain their families focused by the people they told me to focus in my dreams and my goal to become a doctor. they say, don't worry, don't hesitate. trying to build your career in indonesia, especially when there are challenges at home. yeah, they are proud of me. so i am very happy. you, under course,

where the students are immersing themselves in indonesian culture, learning behalf and anesha the country's official language and travelling throughout the country. they view their time in the nation, not only as an opportunity for academy growth, but also as a way to strength and connections between the 2 nations. with the continuation of this program under president pebble was leadership, indonesia reinforces its commitment to supporting palestine. and as for many of the students, education is a beacon of hope, a tool that could shape a brighter future for palestine as they are looking forward to go back home and build their homeland. these sentiments are echoed by the palestinian and basset, or to any major who has been instrumental in supporting the students integration into innovation academy. clive, i can say that military education cooperation helps build the cost

on this subject. why does not ship between both countries in the future and the defense sucks, although also it allows for the exchange of knowledge on this goods that improve what a cnn defense capacity. especially among combine on areas like bees keeping the forces us because etc. and so you mentioned that in venetia, is there any folded up on conflict resolution as to students continued their journey? very mean mindful of the larger purpose behind their education. for them, every lecture, every discussion and every new lesson learned brings them one step closer to a stronger palestine given as we are returning to palestine. we'll be walking.
