of the m s c was much lower and you have the mouse releases 6 is really hostages from gaza, from the hundreds of palestinian prisoners. also j to be freed from is really jails to the 8th space. the delay coming up and the program also, donald trump, i can take saying that the plumbers lensky saying the lottery sounded through towards his fosters is disrespectful about. he's been negotiating, holding no cards for years. you get sick of it, you just get sick of it. and i've had it plus a beleaguered economy and a vote of no confidence for it shows their shows. that's the bach crone going into the crucial german federal elections. preparing to kick off on something

the get out of your company for the latest we can use drop. i'm you know, leave and this is your r t international. 6 is really hostages. how being released by a mouse in the final swap, a bit shaky downs as the spires 1st space. the cap, this 100 over to the red cross with more than 600 palestinians set to be freed from jails in return. but israel has reportedly postpone their release. ortiz, middle east correspondent, brief notion, is in the west by the lake, a subsidized prisoner, a chaise between israel and how much has taken an unexpected and very dangerous turn onto the agreement. as you notice how the student prisoners were supposed to be released as soon as its really hostages crossed into israel from gaza hours ago . but now we see a delay from these really side prison up for these have earlier concerns to us,

but the decision to hold off came from the political leadership is really political leadership. and as of now, there is no clarity on when the release will move forward. if at all, went out in ramallah, where some of those probably seen in prisoners were expected to arrive again, hours ago ahead of their release. the idea of deployed additional forces across the wide west bank, including here to prevent mazda of the rings. but neither of these restrictions know the bad weather. no hours of delay have still these people from wasting in much smaller numbers. many have been here since early morning, send them in the rain, then hale then snow anxiously waiting to embrace their loved ones. most of them have taken shelter from the cold inside this community center behind me. still hoping for news all there is a strong and brave enough to wait outside and off. has we asked to the cues in israel office tolling the process and calling hall and mediators to step in say,

come to send the occupations failure to release the 7th batch of prisoners in the exchange process on the agree date, represents a blatant violation of the agreement we call on the mediators and guarantors of the agreement to exert pressure on the occupation to respect the agreement and implemented the provisions without procrastination. installing this latest exchange has reno runny, unfolding on the extreme 10 cent on thursday. april received the remains of hostages, which does not survive the 1st search faces to cease fire, begun. the moment was devastated and quickly took an even darker turn among the remains. these were 2 young children. tragic victims of the over 7 attacks and off the forensic analysis, israel concluded they were murdered with bare hands contradicted in have masses claimed that they were killed and is really as far as the agent to the times with him, i was also supposed to return the body of the mother, but instead israel received the remains of

a new guys in the room and the reaction was swift from minister benjamin netanyahu accused him also violating the agreement on the war and that it would pay the highest price. the entire bill was suddenly raised from us, quickly corrected the mistake returned in the proper volume. well, we have firm and it's commitments to the bill. despite the punches, there's real toes not to suspends exchange, just now we're witnessing vista land, some believe that's could be a factor in what's happening now. and this delay is israel's way to punish probably student people for the anger and frustration that is really had to endure before. as part of this deal is really set to free. $802.00 probably student present us with an all of them are coming to the west bank and here to ramallah, more than half will be sent back to gauze on including $200.00 women and miners release in exchange for the bodies of hostages returned earlier on the lease also includes 5100 serve and life sentences and 59 with long present terms,

as well refuses to allow them going back into the west bank slicing security concerns. they will be the pull to, to countries like age of only about the safety form of present or is that is israel says do not have blood on the hands are being released to ramallah. occupied is the more rather our fax it to be released. we cannot say when and again, if earlier today, how does such a day have mouse? 36 is really hostages from 3 separate locations in gaza. it reminds of the captive has been held in different parts of being played as in previous exchangers. the hostages were 1st and it over to the national restaurants center, these really on there, which transforms into israel for reunions with their families and is ready for things captured deeply emotional moments. often more than $500.00 days. inconsistencies rate is any a core and all that invented on that a simple and have time showing off. finally, home also really is we're,

i've read them in the so and he some and so yet who hadn't been held in gaza attention over a decade leading to criticism for so they really government had done little to secure their freedom before. now, over the course of these war we've reported to me in the school and is really of f e o. p and origin who was due to a mental disorder mistakenly crossed in 202014 and was never seen again until last year. one of these, a video of pain proving he was alive, medical evaluations have confirmed that he and 5 all the hostages are in satisfactory condition. now all eyes are on when palestinians prisoners will be freed to middle all thousands of his readings took to the streets, was made for gathering reading, tel aviv calling on the government to stick to its commitments and release palestinian prisoners. they fear the editor ruptured martin. thanks for the release of the costs. it is still held in captivity in gaza. the risk they're not ready for

you know, most cars denied reports that the us was threatening to try to cranes access to his michael star link internet services. if kids didn't sign a deal with washington on it's minerals accountants, they made the ongoing spots between america and ukraine with donald trump saying he's don't with mr. zalinski distain for peace talks. 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 did made a deal with us for rivers and things. man who knows what rivers is worth. see, you know, but at least it's something and who knows what else, who is, who knows if they even have it. but we made

a deal with the river. it's and secretary of treasury, a very good guy actually went there. and they couldn't even come close to get a good deal then. and frankly, i wish he didn't go to the waste all of his time like that. but they couldn't get close. they met. right. and then when he wanted to get it close, he was unable to meet him 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 i had a feeling something like that would happen. but here's the thing. it seems like from washington. well, it's late to the party with london getting in there 1st. the british government apparently managed to secure exclusive rights to ukraine's resources just days before donald trump took office. ortiz made a cost revising. delving deeper into that story, it is clear that the u. k. has become very passionate. it's about the ukrainian

causal of a sudden, especially the last couple of months, even as a piece deal seems within range. one of them is determined for you crazy. so keep going by using lies, brain washing swats, 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 samantha, the here in europe. so without this, the any d wouldn't just work very grateful to all those european politicians that spoke out and read from the values and principles said they are defending. no one did this

better than presidency center. so lensky lets me conclude, and this becomes difficult. the last couple weeks of being in tens and all this was proceeded by another strange moment that weird landmark agreements between london and kids. talking about unbreakable bonds, felons and a then lots of promises museum for him. you know, mean use the tiny bit. there was a visit to the british prime minister, the signing of the 100 year partnership agreement. and this is a fundamentally new format of relations. the closest relations are now between ukraine and britain would 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 at cooperation as the agreement sites right here. it also cements 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 for the you? 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 in all duration. and now i think it was once in or else with joe in the rain. they have very valuable, rarer. and we, while while we pull it up to. busy 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 or 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 similar 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 when you were sleeping and unavailable for me to be traveling many hours on the train, which today we're talking about the 2nd or he was there to get

a document signed. and when he got there, he came back empty. they were just, i respect the united states and that's why i said that this document is not ready. and i said there is no word on security guarantees. we agreed that there could be something done about it, but no one knows anything. and if it isn't clear, 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, present zelinski and i and some cases, 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 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 zalinski, 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. that makes all the sense in the world. the only thing is i need to run it to my legislative process. well, it seems the right skill fair 1st and now is a lot of skis and a bit of a pickle she has from calling him a dix. 8 or without elections, has ruined his country and perhaps sold it off after all. but so those who are all unable to provide any security guard sees, even if they tried spa of steps,

complements in the boatloads. the prime minister expressed his support for president zalinski as you cranes 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, east country, and that is country. and still does. he was elect seats. 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 do we, europeans going to stop being scandalized about donald trump and stopped helping him to end this war. that's as the car and for it as prime minister, is even willing to send his own troops fight. i'm prepared to consider committing purchased forces on the ground, alongside up as if there was a last and peace agreement. but the must be

a us back stop. because a us security guarantee is the only way to effectively deter russia from attack. can you create a good? but as you can see, even here, the minutes that us involvement is necessary, which won't happen if they don't get their minerals. so now the question remains, are the minerals there for the taking or have they already been sold? so ukraine's new best friend, which could become so lensky is final mistake. a list by it's a lot of mirrors. zalinski is hostility towards the mineral steel. the us treasury secretary in sicily agreement will benefit ukraine. scott peasant also stated it was mister zalinski himself, who proposed an american stake in the resources back in september, months before the u. k. deal. let's go live to someone who knows the thing or 2 about the ard, all of that deal, a former director of inter governmental affairs for the us trade representative of

steve gail. steve, good to see you sir. did mister so lend speed off to dates to the problem and hope they just wouldn't notice. but you know, he 1st made an offer to the us in september. then january strikes a deal with the u. k. a party for the very same or well, we know that there's at least 2 dates that have been invited to the problem. there may be more, it reminds me a little bit about an old movie called the producers. were some guys decided to put together a, a play called spring time for a hitler knowing that is going to bomb horribly. they go out, get a bunch of investors, and then it becomes that, yeah. and they're struck with okay, now how do we pay everybody? when we sold 2030400 percent of the deal, and that's kind of where is the, let's kias, he's promised everybody, every thing and now it may be time to deliver it's, it's really good. scott, besides is now saying today that there is a deal, and while i hope it is you're moving in that direction, i want to see the jet, the devil in the details because you know,

the executive summary sounds pretty good. but when you get into the actual details, it may not be what we think it is. and again, you still got to deal with the, the deal of it. so let's catch up with united kingdom as well. yeah, the deal reportedly states that ukraine will have to keep sending resorts is until the a month reaches the small figure. a 500000000000 dollars does not look like a good deal for t of do they have any choice considering they were happy to accept years of funds a while you can either give away this portion or give away every thing if that if this conflict continues they've given millions of lives at this stage over a 1000000 of their military age man to select the country rather than fight for their country. there's the countless cottage on the battlefield of military personnel and uh and civilians. they've left resources on the battlefield. it's interesting that the u. k. and if you're stormer and i'll say we're going to send troops,

i think you can only has about 50000 active military personnel. and based on some of the reporting, the ukrainians have left more anti take weapons that survive by the us on the battlefield that are now in the hands of russia. then the united kingdom has. so i think you're stiver is talking with a lot of boston bluster, but if the u. s. backs out of this from both a military and monetary standpoint, uh the u. k is going to be left holding the bag and not having anything really to do with it. as an extraordinary figure, i didn't know that ukraine is reportedly demanding us security guarantees and exchange for the deal. that would be part of the payoff hard you for see that co megabyte. is it a realistic proposal, a kind of work? while it's not putting them in nato, which is a bright red bind that i don't think the us are certainly uh, letting me put and the rest of will agree to. but it's the u. s. as a financial interest in their rebuilding and reconstructing ukraine using some of

these resources that will be paid not only to, to pay back to the hundreds of billions that have been provided so far in this conflict, but also to kind of move forward then the u. s has a vested interest, not just to protect ukraine and ukrainian to protect us financial interest there. i think that's, that's a good result for everybody. i think it also lays a good ground work for the us to restore peace and prosperity relationships with russia as well. i think one of the worst things that we've done at this conflict, and there's a lot, is that we have pushed russia and china closer together rather than keeping good relations with russia and continuing to, to keep good financial military and policy relations. they are. so i think this prospect of doing something financially and investment wise with ukraine opens the door to return the good business with russia as well. the more i look up, the details of this needs and more questions i have. the propose agreement states that the us will have the economic and governance, right?

so any money to have makes from its resources and it will decide where that money is spent in ukraine, where what do you expect the money to be invested as well as it can in reconstruction of some of the areas that have been completely destroyed. infrastructure, the development of the resources that are there, other rivers to the agriculture resources that are there. but, but most importantly, i think that those provisions that, again, the demo is in the details. as you point out. i want to know exactly how it's going to be enforced exactly what the terms are, because at least we may get an audit of where the money that's come before has gone . when we know so much of it has gone into the pockets of corrupted crafts. indeed, including perhaps a live mirror zalinski who, who has, you know, purchased all sorts of real estate all over the world. i think he's fired over 2 dozen of his own senior officials for corruption. and i think the idea of making sure we know 1st, where the money before has gone and now going forward. how do we account for every

penny? the other big thing, i think that has not been in what's been announced that sparks is what do you do about the territory really hospital done that they have already, but it to be part of russia already had elections, of putting people into office in the duma what happens with odessa, what about cried me a, there's also become part of the, the russian and, you know, a political system as well. what about the layers of territory? and i think that's not been mentioned at all in this documented as me. odessa is still the big stumbling block. what happens with odessa just finally do expect and hedge the butts over this in washington and london between them because it does appear from the outside. the us got wind of what was in this agreement, 100 year agreement with london. they didn't like it. and they, they, they want to get a handle on this because of course, us taxpayer money has been going hand over fist to ukraine. but then long didn't

seem to come in under the radar. how much of a of a barrier going forward could this be for, for relations? that was the last he was desperate. he was willing to sell to anybody who would, would keep the arms keeps you munitions going keep toward going because once it ends his time and his value made and very abruptly as well as i think that was a desperation cell and, and again, won't necessarily withstand the test of time and keep in mind, president trump is already made it clear that this he's not as completely committed to going forward with nato, providing that defense supposedly not often as it's been being played out lately, but not necessarily funding data going forward. when the us is, you know, funding over half and you've got these countries that are failing to even do the 2 percent, much less the 5 percent of their gdc that he's asking us to you best says, okay, fine written, do you want those where it's minerals where you're going to come up with the money

to keep this child's life going in a way that doesn't end up with russia taking all of your current tax, the people that seems to be what's what they're doing in london. what will say that can be kind enough from not as steve old was a pleasure, sir, a talk radio host on trade specialist, steve to live from tennessee. thank you. thank you. your brain will have no place within the youth. if it's membership harms hungry own interest, that was one of the takeaways from victor, oregon state of the nation address earlier. the prime minister also rudolf key of chances of joining nato, the one we have on levies. the war, in fact, is not even about ukraine, but about the territory called ukraine, which until now has been a buffer zone. a buffer state between nato and russia, being placed under the auspices of nato. why european and american liberals thought the russians would idly watch this happen is still

a mystery. it is already clear that the experiment failed ukraine, or what remains of it will again become a buffer zone. it will not be a needle member. he said, will it be a member of the european union that will be decided by the home gary ends against the will of hungry and the hung gary ends? ukraine will never be a member of the european union of will geopolitical level, as george zamarelli saves the hon gary leader as always, prioritize the interest of his own people, which means the future for ukraine remains on certain. so i took those remarks more as um, as, as like as a buff, is there another was as part of the final circle month. um, there will remain a buffer zone between russia and nato. and most keep in mind for about countries of the media. planes has never been a particular friend. a russia has a particular friend. the quote is, he has always said we are a member of nato. we are members of the

e. u and here identifies with the sort of the western uh, side of the uh, conflict. so that's why he sees that well as a measure of stability and security for you, or will it be the creation of this buffer zone? so that's no is that ukraine will separate the lines of conflict between russia and the west. so he sees that there will remain a division in europe in the future, but is to be hope that this division will not lead to war. and in a, just in case the ukraine will be the buffers of separating the west and russia. now is germany for parts that go to the pools and national elections on sunday, angry scenes, helping witness on the streets. all berlin, with police and left wing demonstrators flashing the violence, occurred after officers moved into care of the route for a march by supporters of the right wing alternative for germany party. the f

d is forecast to make significant gains across the country this weekend. with some background on the ballot then in december, chancellor will not show last a vote of confidence. after firing his finance minister from a rival political party, the coalition government then collapse, leading to early elections. germany has reduced russian gas purchases and implemented other measures not applied to the rock, the backward slide for its economy, which is nice for me to avoid that are word recession. i'm not a sure to be a big election issue with local saying the ruling coalition has don't to level to make had finished good blasts, didn't do anything to few decisions and above all, mostly negative ones. i am disappointed by all the politics of the routing coalition. come to me a phone at 1st. i could not imagine that 3 such different parties could achieve good results together. we are 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 is

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. 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 there. 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 . 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. it's time to get our to why we come. that was the message from hundreds of demonstrators in paris who were calling for a friends to quit the european union. now the raleigh was organized by the opposition patriots party. let's lead by former m e p for in philip holt,

the protesters voice their anger president mccullin's policy such as funding and providing weapons to ukraine. the crowd demanded the leader's resignation chanting he should quote, fight his own war. mister filippo has been a vocal critic of the you, as well as francis involvement in nicht not more than this is quite a stock. 150 p. our agencies from the u. s. and across europe are attempting right now to shift ukraine's media image. our run the world but even with 6 huge sums involved in paying for that. is it having any impact on those suspicious, opposite lensky leadership or documentary team explores the methods involved next, the

the the .
