9:03 am
as we've covered this war, we followed the story of on that event. this was grandmother a holocaust survivor told us that these months of waiting have been harder than anything she has ever in new york. we also reported on min b soon and is really with, as you will see in all regions who due to mental disorder mistakenly clips in 202013 and was never seen again. and to him also released the video of him last year, proving he was alive. well, based on the release takes place at 2 locations inside garza, for the 1st on one of these locations is rough from the, the diction for the once a densely populated area that has been seen of intense folly team. and it's really been mark this month. the 2nd location is in this a rod, a refugee camping central because of where the idea of has never conducted ron maneuvers, sir, in home to hostages, it was known that most of them to be held there. it was there last summer that the rescue operation by these re army to place that freeform is really captives
9:04 am
including one with russian citizenship. and drake has loved the slightest exchange . indeed comes on the ex 3 intentions on says is you remember for the 1st time since the seas far it began. israel received the remains of hostages, who did not survive the moving tools, devastated and then took an even darker turn. and when they were, the bodies of 2 young children's tragic symbols will do for over 7 attacks of to forensic examinations. this will accuse her mazda, of murdering them, with bare hands, a direct contradiction to her master's earlier claims. but the word kills by is 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 hope to use her mazda violating the do and vowed it would pay the highest price? moss has not killed all the possibility of
9:05 am
a mistake promising investigation while we have for rent it's commitments to the agreement. and for now, we can see is really a form which is have chosen notes to disrupt the exchange. and this is why we are witnessing had the swap 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 pounds teen in prisoners on such a day, more than half were detained after october 7 and will be sent back to gauze of where they're coming from. originally, $200.00 without women and miners formed together sleep released in exchange for the bodies our hostages. the lease also includes $51.00 prisoners serving life sentences, $59.00 with long prison, turns $108.00 of them will be depleted to agents, as israel doesn't allow them to be released to the west bank sites in security
9:06 am
concerns with some also expected to be transferred to other countries. among the most time pul, file names palestinian names is known by who t, one of the longest serving palestinian prisoners, 1st convicted in 1978 for murdering, and his re bus driver. he was released during 2011 exchange deal, but later we arrested for violation. his release conditions also on the lease ballade. a move on in sentence 23 life term for exactly 2015 attack in jerusalem. and i need somebody to call me convicted of the 2019 murder oven is really american citizen. and the release of these prisoners high profile as is low poles, them with a lot on their hands as well when, if you pensions and israel security concerns on throwing a force between the give exchange on folding o. r, as in fact are what happens next?
9:07 am
the 1st phase of agreement is set to ends next weekend and searching to move towards a really 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 the piece of live warns it is ready to review military operations if her mosque was not to comply. so this phase 4 and this tease is very fragile. will disagreements lay the groundwork for more hostages releases, and perhaps even at the end of the war will receive renewed hostilities. take center stage thoroughly to say of course for now of the turning into the west. now the u. s. has reported life threatening view crane with shutting off access to eli must star link satellite network unless key of signs or proposed resource extraction deal. donald trump has said he isn't literally sick of vladimir
9:08 am
zalinski, is attempts to back out of the lucrative agreements according to the us 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 then made a deal with us for forever and savings. 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 and the 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,
9:09 am
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 what they wanted to get in close is a was unable to meet them again. but the so, so just on 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. but it looks like washington is late to the party since london out there 1st. the british government apparently managed to secure exclusive rights to ukraine's resources just days before donald trump took office. r t is miranda customer. if i dig deeper into the story, it is clear that the u. k has become very passion. it's about the ukrainian calls all of a sudden, especially the last couple of months, even as a peace deal seems within reach. one of them is determined for ukraine to keep going by using lies, brain washing floods and even tiers of support from the european union. here's
9:10 am
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. 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 frames and europeans are the ones to meet. so same cement, the dean 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 that this better than presidency senate. so lensky, let me conclude, and this becomes difficult. the last couple weeks of being in tens and all this was proceeded by another strange
9:11 am
moment felt weird landmark agreements between london and kids. talking about unbreakable bonds, felons in a there, and lots of promises, museum premium. i 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 new crane and britain, you know, with, if there is also a secured secret part of the agreement, christie, everything that really adds to our resilience and the opportunity to develop some has more energy cooperation as the agreement states right here. it also sometimes 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 supported developments over ukranian critical minimal strategy,
9:12 am
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 for that? 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 the landmark agreements was signed before tom had a chance to get there. well, actually 4 days before his and all duration, and now i think it was once in or else we're drawing the rain very valuable, rarer. so we won while we put 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
9:13 am
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 that all went down. and scott, this is actually what you were slipping and unavailable for me to be traveling many hours on the train, which is today. we're talking about the 6 or he was there to get a document signed. and when he got there, he came back, empty. is full bottle. 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
9:14 am
agreed that there could be something done about it, but no one knows anything for me. 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 ok, no, i'm just a decision maker and i'm not working on the details of this document or say, i think president trump is very upset. present, zelinski and i and some case, and rightfully so. look. number one, joe biden had frustrations was the landscape. people shouldn't forget it, their newspaper articles out there about how he cursed out them in a phone call because the lensky, 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, right? so we explained to them, but we want to be enjoying better with you,
9:15 am
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 that makes all the sense in the world. the only thing is i need to run it through my legislative process. so let's say a separate 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 guarantees, even if they tried upstairs compliments 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 war time as the u. k. did during world war 2. this was amends in these country,
9:16 am
ladies, country and still those he was elected. he's the like to lead to ukraine. and he's done what winston churchill in britain and 2nd will. and boris johnson, the man who just have to button and make sure the conflict kept going. 4 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 in for it as prime minister is even willing to send his own troops unprepared . consider committing purchased forces on the ground, alongside office. if there is a loss to increase the 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 the, he admits the us involvement is necessary,
9:17 am
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 the landscape final mistake. i call a union o'neill, discussed the latest do crane drama with you. and you, as a conservative commentator joe open 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 that 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 a new 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,
9:18 am
and frankly, the appetite is not there because more is very profitable for really bad people. and piece is not something that bad people seek as, as a resolution. so i think you're gonna see some, some shift, things happen as 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 pass 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. signed that special agreement at 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,
9:19 am
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 a creating this proxy war 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 there's an ukraine. 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. great. so is there's no, there's no benefit for i think the people of ukraine to have the u. k. come in to
9:20 am
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 power on germany could be welcoming a new chancellor and the governing coalition as voters prepare for nationwide elections on sunday. opinion polls suggest the outcome for the bonus tag may lead to big changes. well, this comes after or transfer all of shots fired as finance minister last year. then last a vote of confidence, tape the way for early elections this month, following the collapse of his government and germany has reduced russian gas purchases and implemented other measures that have led to a rapid backward slide for its economy. now struggling to avoid the recession is found to be pivotal election issue unlawful say the ruling coalition has done to little 2 lights have finished,
9:21 am
good blast didn't do anything to few decisions and above all, mostly negative ones. i am disappointed by all the parties of the routing coalition . encouraged to come to me a phone at 1st. i could not imagine that 3 such different parties could achieve good results together. we're not doing well right now, and there are lots of election promises being made. whatever will be better for the citizens. the opposite will be the case. the state does not have enough money. there's always talk of making saving, and so it really affects people's wallets after the election. do you have them in the full volume or do they have neither considered nor solved the problems of the country? i am very pessimistic. so i had hoped that friedrich merits would tackle this, but he will now take either the greens or the s p d or both with him, and nothing will change their item. unfortunately, nothing will change, right? i mean, what the population does not want is a left leaning co government. we will not solve the problems of migration like that complete. so you can know for more in europe,
9:22 am
more in the middle east economic decline. these are very big problems and that's why we need a fresh start. let's take a closer look at the current chancellor's time and office salts has been a step past advocate for ukraine and pumping more military aid into the war he back peddled on sending long range taurus, muscles, to crane last year, declaring it a line he was unwilling to cross well adding to his rose during the minis economy started declining during his administration with the sky rocketing gas prices as they moved it to break ties with russia. here's a breakdown of the legacy schultz is leaving. the
9:23 am
my black handbag has accompanied me for almost 40 years on every appointment, every trip abroad, and also on vacation. i bought it as a young lawyer. its obvious, i'm very attached to this bag. it is practical, so there is a lot goes in it. some of my colleagues or employees think it is worn out. i call it patina. i like the hand bag more every year. see how i go to work?
9:24 am
very mindful, very doing your. i put everything was supposed to be very mindful during the rule of all of sholtes as german chancellor expenses for make up a mountain to $39910.00 euros and 95 cents last year. the costs for photographers at the federal press office amounted to 510764.54 year rose in the same period of 2 by the the, the
9:25 am
full cause to go to dot dot is shown to start. all of these are the all the head of germany's marks this dilemma this depart a gabriel fetch. there told us to us is an imperialist power with substantial influence on germany's ukraine policy. the it is true that foreign and military policy has become increasingly aggressive in recent years . we believe that imperialist powers are preparing for a 3rd world war, which we consider to be a serious and realistic threat. we have
9:26 am
a strong position on this issue and have made it clear in our election platform. we strongly oppose this trend towards war preparation and consider it to be an attack on the desire for peace among the masses. in germany, this approach is being promoted under the slogan of getting ready for war and has a negative impact on people's lives. we consider the usa to be a major global war making power. nato, of course, is an aggressive military alliance and not a peaceful one. they have been involved in most of the aggressive wars, and they have an ongoing expansion of their territory to the east. nato did not originally intend to have a military presence in eastern germany. however, they now have a naval base in raw stock. they want to station medium range missiles in germany and have nuclear warheads in germany. these are all things that we strongly condemn . perhaps you will not hear the word sanctions as often from us because we consider it to be a misleading term. in fact,
9:27 am
it's about economic warfare and the united states started this economic conflict. the european union supports this, and it's mainly about who has the dominance in sales markets in energy supply. of course, this was a deliberate plan by the united states, which has long wanted germany to get l. n. g gas from the united states. they use the ukraine conflict to force this change and dr. speculation to the extreme. this is the main reason for the high prices. german citizens have not seen inflation like this since world war 2 with prices rising by up to 30 percent for ordinary people. this needs to be addressed. it should also be noted that prices for russian, oil and gas have increased significantly as well. now, to level non, where people from 79 countries are arriving to attend sundays. the funeral of iconic has been a leader has on this role. and he was assassinated in bainbridge by israel in september. and his body has since been held as an undisclosed location. and all
9:28 am
that, all the preparations for the official ceremony had been made. archie correspondence div sweeney fall this report from the lebanese capital in the past, but one of the biggest events and evidence recent history, the field of slain has been on the the side house. i'm not sure all the local with handout sewage suite, some more to his picture displayed across the city. hundreds of thousands of are expected to attend with guests from the 80 countries. how that 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 murder of humanity,
9:29 am
in the struggle against imperialism. phone named paul ridge share community 3 kilometers from the agency of tire, not serrato writers to become one of the most important tickets in the region. reviewed by his supporters, whose image it owns, bill votes and buildings across the country. for many he was and remains a symbol of resistance to as well and evidence 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 jet. the lebanese front will not stop until the aggression against the cause of stops. i say clearly, no matter what sacrifices have been made and 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,
9:30 am
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 what the boys for his anatomy is what he said much, it did not send to the mechanic the news. the street please. it's also mounted to the lebanese government and to world leaders. and i found it was killed having 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 the cuts on 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.
