the, the president trump runs out of patience with flooding. there's zalinski, as the us leader says he of is backing out of a mass of resource deal with washington. you get sick of it. you just get sick of it. and i've had it the beleaguered economy and the controversial no confidence vote on chancellor schultz last year sets the stage for german general elections that takes off on sunday and breaking news to mosse releases. and 6 is really hostages from gaza in the final exchange of the fragile these fires in the 1st phase, hundreds of palestinian prisoners are due to be freed from is rarely jail's today, but part of the face

a postponement news . so this is our t international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. the attendance report a life threatening that ukraine was shutting off access to eli and must star link to satellite network unless cubes times a proposed resource extraction deal. donald trump has said he's literally sick of latimer. zalinski is attempts to back out of the lucrative agreement, according to the us president, he f o is america big time. so we're gonna either sign a deal, or there's gonna 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. then who knows what rivers 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 railroads 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, 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 he was unable to meet them again. but the so, so just on wasted trip, indeed years trip to i didn't like it that it was knowing 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. but 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 days before donald trump took

office. r t is marina cost. right? but the things deeper into the story, it is clear that the u. k. has become very passionate, it's about the ukrainian calls all of a sudden, especially the last couple of months, even as a peace deal seems within reach. longer is determined for you crazy to keep going by using lies, brain washing 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. as you fight the surrender 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 deed 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 reaffirmed the values and principles said they are defending. no one did this veterans and 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 moments felt weird landmark agreements between london and kids. talking about unbreakable bonds, felons in a there, and lots of promises museum for him. you know, mean he's the tiny because there was a visit of the british prime minister, the signing of the 100 year partnership agreement like this is a fundamentally new format of relations. the closest relations are now between ukraine and britain. 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 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 this far supported developments over ukrainian critical mental roll strategy, and necessary regulatory structures required to support the maximization of benefits from ukraine's natural resources. well, isn't that nice and potentially lucrative for the have k? 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 literally 4 days before his and all duration. and now i think

it was once in or else we're going to 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 your brain where they're going to secure what we're giving them with a rare are as 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 with more or less us treasury secretary school and best friends. 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 in 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, 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 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 at present zelinski and i and some case and rightfully so. look, number one, joe biden had frustrations as

a landscape. people shouldn't forget it. there are newspaper articles out there about how he cursed adam and a phone call because of 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 things, 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 what we want to be enjoying better 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. well, that's the thing is upright scope there 1st and now is that landscape is in a bit of a pickle she has from calling him a dictator 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 upstairs compliments in the boatloads. the prime minister expressed his support for president zelinski 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 east country. that is country. and still does. he was, he likes it. he's the like to lead a few crazy and he's don't 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 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 and for it as prime minister is even willing to send his own troops and per

pet consider committing. purchased forces on the ground. alongside up is if there is a loss to increase the agreement, but the must be a us back stop. because i us security guards, it is the only way to effectively deter russia from attack. can you create a good? but as you can see, even the, he admits the us and 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 the landscape final mistake. my colleague union o'neill discuss the latest ukraine drama with us conservative commentator, joe almon. 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 a new president and the people in ukraine would've 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 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 an exchange for. for 8, it leaves the question joe, can kit 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 state of creating 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 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 it 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 a new crane that's that, that you frame 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 a were able to get the safe and secure elections. the united states will have an appetite for weight, 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 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 power of germany could be welcoming a new chancellor and governing and 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 chancellor. all i've schultz fired his the plan as minister last year. then last a vote of confidence get paid for the way for early elections this month,

following the collapse of his government when 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, it's bound to be a pivotal election issue and local say, the ruling coalition has done too little to light, had finished, good blast, didn't do anything to few decisions and above all, mostly negative ones. my. i am disappointed by all the parties of the routing coalition to encourage the country 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 savings. so it really affects people's wallets after the election. do you have the full volume or do they have neither considered nor solved the problems of the country? i am very pessimistic,

miss. so i had hoped that frederick merits would tackle this for you, but he will now take either the greens or the s p d or both with him and nothing will change there of 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 in complete. so you can know more in europe, more in the middle east, economic decline. these are very big problems and that's why we need a fresh start. all right, let's take a closer look at the current chancellors and time and office schultz has been a steadfast advocate for ukraine and pumping more military aid into the war when he back peddled on sunday long range tourist missiles to train last year, declaring it a line he was on willing to cross adding to as well as germany's economy, started declining during his administration with sky rocketing gas prices as they moved to break ties with russia. here's

a breakdown of the legacy schultz is leaving. the

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? very mindful, very doing yours. i put everything what it's supposed to be. very mindful during the rule of all of schultz as german chancellor expenses for make up amount of the $39910.00 euros and 95 cents last year. the costs for photographers at the federal press office amounted to 510764.54 year owes in the same period of 2 by the the,

the whole cause to go to that you should insist out all of these are the the well now to the middle east where her moss has really is to 6 is really

hostages. in the final swap of the shaky is these fires. first phase, the idea of it confirms the final captive has been handed over to the red cross with hundreds of palestinians set to be freed from jails. but israel has reportedly postponed to their release. all right, well joining me now from the west bank is archie middle east bureau chief maria from ocean uh marshall locals. and that part of the palestinian territory are looking for to embrace single family and friends who were due to be released later today. take us through what's happening now. well, good. their names here. rachel had looks like the 8th presenter exchange between his role and how mas has taken an unexpected and unpleasant turn on to the agreements tally student prisoners were supposed to be released. as soon as it's really hostages crossed into israel from the gas was 3 hours ago. but now we're seeing a delay from these really side prison us always have earlier confirms to us of the

decision to hold off came from the political leadership. and as of now, there was no clarity on when that really is we'll move forward for now in ramallah, where some of those probably stayed in prisoners were expected to arrive again, hours ago, had on their release, the idea of deployed additional forces across the entire supplied west side, including here is ramallah to prevent mass gatherings, but neither of these restrictions know the bad weather have stopped people from waiting, though in a forest much smaller numbers, and many have been here since early morning spending in the rain and who i'm currently waiting to embrace and loved one, and it's now 5 pm here, and most of them have taken shelter from the cold inside this community center behind is still how you print for news. this latest exchange is already on folding on big screen tension on says if you remember, you will receive the remains of hostages. we did not survive the 1st such case

since the sci fi began moving towards the phys, painting, but it quickly took an even darker turn. among the remains were 2 young children. tragic victims of field for over 7, the tax and after forensic analysis is will accuse him also know the rent them with bare hands contradicting. have masses claim that they were killed. and as we this tried, such as the times in her mouth, was also supposed to return the body of the mother. but instead, israel received the remains of an unknown, doesn't woman. the reaction was swift from minister benjamin netanyahu. oh, he's come off of by late in the deal and warren, but i will pay the highest price. the entire agreement was suddenly a 3 is with him, us quickly corrected the mistake. returning the pro football day while we have 4 minutes commitments to the bill and despite the pensions this room chose not to suspend the rail exchange. and now we are with this invest delay in some believe that's could be a factory, what's happening now. this anger and frustration because of what happens on. so

states as part of this deal is really set to free. 802 palestinian prisoners with all of them are coming to the west bank and to ramallah. one half will be sent to the dogs and back to gaza, where they are coming from, including 200 women and miners release in exchange for the bodies of hostages returned earlier. and this also includes 51 queens under serving life sentences and 59 was long present terms. israel refuses to allow them back into the west bank site and security concerns. so they will be the pull to is to countries like agents and only about 50 form of prisoners. those israel says to not have blog on the hands are being released to ramallah. occupied is rules. the rather are expected to be released. again, we cannot say when earlier today how most freed 6 is really hostages from 3 separate locations inside godly, remind that's captive has been held in different parts of the in place. as in

previous exchanges, the hostages were 1st handed over to the international red cross. then to the army which transported them into israel. so were unions with their families, he's really flipping scepter, deeply emotional moments of to more than $500.00 basis to receive these really is ada coin, home adventure. so medicine calls and thoughts for not finally a home, also released where i've met him in the school and he's from said who had been held in gauze or for over a decade leading to criticism that these really governments have done little to secure their freedom before now, over the course of this war, we've reported all men disposed then his reading of if you will see an origin who due to a mental disorder mistakenly crossed in 202014 and was never seen again until last year when her last release of video proving he was alive, medical evaluations has to have confirmed hurley or as i t and 5 all their hostages

is really hostages. are in split his factory condition. now all eyes off on one palestinian prisoners will be freed to again, we do not know exactly when it might happen back to you. right? our team middle east pier cheaper if an ocean i thank you for that update for one of far away nation that's spending consistently back in palestine is indonesia. that's where our students from the middle east are given a chance to pursue their studies in an atmosphere of peace. r t correspondent rebecca, enough at the pool, who has the story a commitment to education as a form of solidarity. this has been an issue us approach to supporting palestine. ever since president pablo so, bianca served as minister of defense. he initiated a scholarship program that allows the palestinian students to study at the end myisha defense university. now under his presidency, this program continues strengthening and initials, role in providing educational opportunities for those affected by conflict. for the

scholarship program which began in 2023 open stores of opportunity for $22.00 palestinian students each year to pursue fully funded undergraduate studies. in various subjects, the most popular fields are medicine, pharmacy and engineering. the current li, $44.00 palestinian students are studying under this program, which is as much about diplomacy as it is about education. for me that what is happening in palestine is a special concern to the indonesian government of 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. united 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 be sure history 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, my union and daddy, 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 well right now, there are lots 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. my friends and lecture is explained everything

in a formal language and at a slower pace is that all 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. it's like you die. edu that the lecturers also acknowledge the challenges that students who are not 100 percent fluid. yet an indonesian are facing so they need special attention and a certain way of teaching talking slower, i think so that the explanation can be clearer at the end. because what 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. i think that the students are grateful for the opportunities to brochure their dreams. i'm at the situation by cold. their biggest supporters remain their families focused by the people they tell me to focus in my dreams and my goal to become a doctor. if they say, don't worry, don't hesitate to try to build your career in indonesia,

especially when there are challenges at home. you cut out, they are proud of me, so i am very happy. thank you. under course, where the students are immersing themselves in indonesian culture. learning by highlighting anesha, the countries 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 problem was leadership in alicia 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 policy num, bassett, or to any major who has been instrumental in supporting the students, integration into innovation academy. clive,

i can say that really thought you cation cooperation has been passed on. this is thought to jake, why does not ship between both contests and the future and the defense sucks. others also, it allows for the exchange of knowledge or on the skills that's in bro, but a cnn defense discussion. especially among combine ontario slide based keeping the forces us physics it. and so you mentioned that in venetia is it'd be followed up on conflict visit the ocean as the students continued their journey. very mean mindful of the larger purpose behind their education. for them, every lecture, every discussion and as the new lesson learned brings them one step closer to

a stronger palestine given as we are returning to palestine will be working now with the palestinian government. i want to return and open the pharmacy, the list, the of to graduating from college in indonesia. i will return to palestine to work and i will be working there to help the palestinian people that is my main goal. indonesia continued to show it's on wavering solidarity with palestine, not just through the street actions, but by welcoming the students. it represents more than friendship between 2 countries. it's solid support for palestine to she. it's on the future. are we going to be the portal reporting for our d from broke or indonesia? all right, i'll be back with more news here on our to international in about half an hour. i'll see you then by the .
