west bank including here in room. * of mass celebrations are also expected and to prevent the idea has deployed additional forces all across the territories. in the past, few hours is really forces have broken off public gatherings in anticipation of potential and grass. 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 leave for the over 48000 lives lost in the gas on you're after more than $500.00 days, inconsistency is really, really a coin on that event, it's all matter samples and todd showing the asset to return home and also expected to be released all of them in the school and the strawman said, who have been held in dallas or for over a decade for 16 months as we've covered before we follow the story of on that 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 in all regions who due 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 a model for the 1st on one of these locations is rough from near the diction, once a densely populated area that has been seen of intense fighting. and it's really been margins for months. the 2nd location, isn't this a rock, a refugee camping central jobs away? the idea of has no ever conducted ron 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 really army took place. that's freeform is really captives including one with russian citizenship when drake has loved the slightest exchange. indeed comes on 3 intentions 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 to the stage and then took an even darker turn. and when they were the bodies of 2 young children, tragic symbols of the, of tobar, 7 attacks of to forensic examinations. these will accuse her mazda, of murdering them, with bare 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 and woman. the response was yours and swift from mister benjamin. can you? i hope you've come off of violating the du involved. it would pay the highest price and loss has no clue. dollars is also due to a mistake promise an investigation while we are forming 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, had the swamp now taking place. as in previous exchange is the freed hostages. a

1st handed 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 ongoing medical evaluations in return is really set to relieve a $102.00 palestinian prisoners on such a day will then half were detained after october 7 and will be sent back to gaza. where that coming from originally, 200 women and miners from the gather sweep released in exchange for the budgets on hostages. that this also includes $51.00 prisoners serving lives, sentences, $59.00 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 fighting security concerns with some also expected to be transferred to other countries, among the most high profile names cali speaking and names is made by who sees one

of the longest serving college student prisoners, 1st convicted in 1978 for murdering, and his re 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 dudley 2015 attack in jerusalem. and holly exhibiting a book, i mean, convicted of the 2019 murder, opened his really american citizen and the release of these prisoners high profile as is ro calls them with blood on their hands. i will wonder 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 degree when does set to ends next week, and i'm starting to move towards a ready, significantly delayed have review. finally, israel is demanding the immediate release of the 22 remaining leaving hostages,

and the public pressure is wrong with the u. s. has said to we've deadline for a deal, but it's really repeatedly warns it is ready to review military operations if her mice does not comply. so this cease fire and this piece is very fragile. will disagreements leave the ground work for more of hostages releases, and perhaps even, and then the war will receive renewed hostilities. take center stage, fully thoroughly to say, of course, for now. as well as part of the say as far as will agreed to release more than a 1000 in jail. the palestinians who did not take part in the october 7th attack. we heard from one of the former convicts to re united with his family members after they spent decades a part behind bars. and that's the thing. i am the son of the phrase prisoner factory asked for our new task for him to spend 34 years in the as rarely, occupations, presence auto mall and was released and the prisoner exchange deal. we are 2

brothers, the shoddy and hardy, so that's our family's something that's our father, the 2 sons in our mother. i've spent 22 years in prison if there were no occupations, and we would have lived like any normal family in the world wide. if 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. and if there were no occupation, if we would have lived a normal life, everyone has dreamed stores in the end who are 22 years for me. and i know 34 years from my father for years from my brother, national hired as a family, we have spent nearly 60 years in prison who caused those 60 years. not me, not my father, but the occupation for those 60 years. we didn't choose the yeah, the occupation is responsible for them. they will not us in sunny

i keep this will go out. and then of course there's no comparison between what it was like before october 7th, and what it has become. since you can see the situation of prisoners that we should, the entire prisoner movement, 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 whether 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 is really presidency, 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're nothing shut off. in fact, all of them were like big beer and extremist home from the prison guard. so the top

officials cut off the policies and orders were clear, color, strip us, of everything. who best take away all our achievements and resources and leave nothing in our rooms. they confiscated everything, the cabal. we were allowed, only 2 sets of clothes, nothing else. good. how about we were given just a plastic plate, a plastic spoon into anaplastic coffee. mine told me that was all i owned. 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 meant 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 now will cause a prison within a prison to the water. i shall fear my release, however, was completely unexpectedly followed. i had no idea i was going to be freed because

i was told that my release would be in the 2nd phase of the deal. intelligence officers informed me about how you are not leading in this phase and whether you will be in the 2nd phase and the way from so i had already accepted that i wouldn't be leaving yet. my only concern was getting through the 1st space. i thought it became a struggle that i just wanted to get through the 1st 42 days. so i could start counting down the last 43 days. i know then suddenly a guard called my name over the loudspeaker. shoddy albert duty or is it getting ready for thursday at 2 o'clock to i was confused and ma, get ready for what t huh. i thought it was just the lawyers visit. 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 moment. but then he over heard them speaking and hebrew. they said to release the heavy, always being fried with a group sort of that's when he realized i was actually going home and they're destroying and still to have had he of mediately ran to tell me shoddy shoddy. how

difficult we are. i asked him what's wrong and he said with, and you're going home with me at that moment, i had actually been playing chess. of course, the feeling was indescribable. it was like moving from the gray to the light and the other one from death back to life for you. they showed the bundle of the all trying to the west. and now the u. s. has reportedly threatened to ukraine with shutting off access to eli and musk star link, a satellite network, unless kia signs, a proposed resource extraction deal. donald trump has said he's literally sick of flooding, resulting skis, attempts to back out of the lucrative agreement. according to the u. s president, key f o is america big time. 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 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 did made a deal with us for rivers and things man who knows what river 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 the secretary of treasury, a very good guy, actually went there us 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 clothes they met. right. and then when he wanted to get his clothes, he was unable to meet them again. but uh so, so just on wasted trip in dangerous 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. but it looks like washington is late to

the party sense. london got their 1st. they were just government, apparently managed to secure expense of rights to ukraine's resources just days before donald trump took office ortiz, marina cost. right. of other things, deeper into the story. and it's clear that the u. k. has become very passionate about the ukrainian calls, all of us others, especially the last couple of months, even as a piece still 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 n. so new crane is part of it because the frame ends in europeans are the ones to

meet. so same cement, the deed 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. so lensky lets me conclude, and this becomes difficult, the, those 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 and a, then lots of promises reserved for him. you know, mean he's the tiny bit, but there was a visit to the british prime minister. so the signing of the 100 year partnership agreement. maybe this is a fundamentally new format of relations between the closest relations are now

between new crane and britain. you know, with, if there is also a secure secret part of the agreement, christy everything that really adds to our resilience and the opportunity to develop some had more energy cooperation as the agreement states right here. it also some of us the u. 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 mental roll strategy, and necessary regulatory structures required to support the maximize ation 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 perhaps why the landmark agreements was signed before tom had a chance to get there?

well, actually, 4 days before his in all duration, and now they get west once in or else with joe in the rain. they have very valuable, rarer, and we won while we put it up to go in terms of a 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 your 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 tell them that the deal is we do something more or less us treasury secretary school and best sense even travel to crane 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 what they're rather sleeping in aren't available for me to be traveling many hours on the train, which today we're talking about this or he was there to get a document signed. and when he got there, he came back empty. they were just full lot of 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 for them. 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 and why i was only told 50. i said, okay, we know i'm just a decision maker and i'm not working on the details of this document. say,

i think president trump is very upset, present zelinski and i and some case and rightfully so. look, number one, joe biden had frustration. so as a landscape, 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 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 are 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 for the thing is upright. scott, there 1st and now is a lot of skis and a bit of a pickle she has from calling him

a dix. 8 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 the presidency. lensky 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 amends, east country, and that is country. and still does. he was elect since he's the like to lead to ukraine. and he's done what winston churchill tate in britain, and 2nd will. and boris jonathan, the man who just have to button and make sure the conflict kept going. 3 years ago, what a deal was on the table when we europeans, going to stop being scandalized about donald trump and stopped helping him to end

this war. that's as a card for it as prime minister is even willing to send his own troops and per pet . consider committing purchase forces on the ground. alongside up is if there is a last in piece agreement, but the must be a us back stop. because a us security guard seat is the only way to effectively deter russia from attack. can you create a good? but as he can see, even he admits 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 best friend, which could become so landscape, final mistake. my colleague union o'neill discussed the latest ukraine drama with us conservative commentator joe, open the 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 one of the 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 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 path. it by them was this,

the people in those countries don't have any appetite for their either. it's lensky saying that he in the u. k. sign that special agreement at 100 years into the future, etc. but it's the same minerals that donald trump is asking at for an 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 data crating this proxy world with russia. i think it was a mistake. and i think it hurt relations that frank, we're gonna take a long time with you. but at the same time, we still put up $2300000000000.00 to the to easily 50 or, or $75000000.00 that came out of that out of europe. so i don't believe that they have a stake as high as united states, nor do i believe that they can re peaceful orders in ukraine. that's the 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 administration, is if we're able to get the safe and secure election. so 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 crate. so it does. there's no, there's no benefit for i think the people in ukraine to have the u. k. come in to be able to suck all the rare earth 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. although ven, later maia sandy was the target of demonstrations demanding she resign and put an end to censorship. dozens of protesters gathered in front of the pro western are presidents offices in the capital cation. now,

the reason man, a student a little does a, has sparks the latest discontent with critics saying the move violates principles of free speech. the opposition socialist party organize the rally and is calling for parliamentary and early presidential elections to be held that simultaneously says, here you are fighting has intensified in the democratic republic of congo. following the m $23.00 militant groups capture of the eastern cities of goma and because of a resolution condemning the advance of the group has been adopted at the latest un security council is free reduced to those misery crickets. extra for most sees the laws must be protected. simple human beings should return to their homes. for one of the d, r. c must against it as a negotiating table,

confirmed mutual obligations and reach an agreement on the conditions for a sustainable and long term policy. for the conflict. china hopes that all parties will respond to calls from the international community and the security council by immediately ceasing all hospital actions. it is imperative to avoid any measures that could further escalate intentions and exacerbate conflicts enough for the. it certainly took the counsel a long time to reach a consensus close to what it has shown resilience for that and on behalf of the government and all of the sons and daughters of the democratic republic of the congo. especially those from buena gone on to come in, eula, passing through, go to saki minova if you have a boy kelly, hey, cover a move. and because i would like to sincerely think, all the members of the council without distinction to get a reminder of the latest developments in the area. a red cross made a gruesome discovery of the bodies of victims in blue cross blue and buried the

remains following weeks. of fighting and the d. r. c. according to the latest you in real course, the death toll has reached a close to 3000 following the m 23 uprising. the militant group has been advancing and reportedly making his way toward the city of good timbo, in recent days, securing the territory of lake keeper along the way. were wanda's alleged involvement in the neighboring d or c crisis has thrown up reaction in the west. the us has targeted a key, golly government minister and the u. k. has some and it's top on void to condemn the report and support for m $23.00 advances. lawanda is this a non military solution must be found to be ongoing tensions and has denied any involvement with the militants. we heard from the university of her wanda, lecturer, or tom lisa, who says the washington sanctions could impede any cease fire efforts. and i think there was reaction less was was not probably it because

the wasteful. now for the position of the, the sections we're talking about names. but one declined. a recent meeting is. ready ready and by the. ready union such a distance to the substitute, the council of the african union, which has a family that we have for the negotiation. so that means that there's been some showing the meanest on me a substitute for quin affairs. and again, the meanest of ways in charge of all of these. so is the community. so just a bit administered that you're going to be involved in this valuable session. so i think folks wanting to administer, you know, one way or the other made the biggest ones on the brand new positions for the, for this, on the, on the se, plan on the plan, which is the best way to ethically annual color. and then i think this is the way i

would come into play. but i think the discussion be for the night will be this process under the one that is supposed to don't people then they play thing with the different. ready in my will miss, well, just stay with us here on our to international. i'll be back with much more news in just about half an hour. i'll see you then by the piano, the moon. but he had to bend t estate in campbell county in the republic of kenya. and today we talk about a great man, a humble man, a wise man. judy s come better, i didn't get any of tons and the when history is

written, all african great. why do you more as he was fondly known, will stand out found out because she was humility, personified. when he was asked at one time, are you up with a dish? and he said, i'm reluctant for the dish and all i have, i wanted to be was to be a pitch. but i found myself in this space and i have to fight to liberate my country. it was at that time that he was in the forefront of the position of dunk. i knew the african nation in union time. and it was at a time when don guy nick at that time was a trust the 33 of the british because dunbar nick had been at 33 of the germans.
