7:02 pm
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 mass gatherings. but neither of these restrictions know the bad weather. no hours of delay have stopped these people from wasting in much smaller numbers. many have been here since early morning send in in the rain, then hail, then snow anxiously waiting to embrace the loved ones. most of them have taken shelter from the cold inside this community center behind me. still hoping, praying for news all there is a strong and brave enough to wait outside from us has we asked to the queues. in israel office tolling, the pro says, and calling hall and mediators to scrap when they come to send the occupations
7:03 pm
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 provisions without procrastination installing this latest exchange has reno runny, unfolding on the extreme 10 single says they received the remains of hostages, which does not survive the 1st such cases to cease fire, begun the moment towards the states and quickly took an even darker turn among the remains. these were 2 young children, frederic victims of the of silver 7 attacks and off to forensic analysis. as ro concluded, they were murdered with bare hands contradicted in have masses quite in the 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 and woman. the reaction was swift from minister benjamin netanyahu
7:04 pm
accused him also violating the agreement on the war and the 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 terms not to suspend the 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 the israel had to endure before. as part of this deal is really set to free 802 probably student prisoners with an all of them 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 released in exchange for the bodies of hostages returned earlier on. the lease also includes 5100 serve and life sentences and 59 with long stories in terms israel
7:05 pm
refuses to allow them going back into the west bank slicing security concerns. they will be the pull to 2 countries like age of only about 50 full of prisoners. those these real says do not have blood on the hands are being released to ramallah or q 5 is through sort of more. rather, i re faxed it to be released if you don't say when and again, if earlier today, how did such a day have mazda 3? 6 is really hostages from 3 separate locations in jobs. that reminds of the passive has been held in different parts of being placed. as in previous exchanges, the hostages were 1st and it over. so these are national restaurants center. these really are me which dress for the stuff into israel for reunions with their families and is ready for things captured deeply emotional moments often more than 500 days in cosivity is rate is area code. and all that invented on that. a simple and have thought of showing off finally home also really is we're, i've read them in the so and he some and so yeah. who hadn't been held in gaza
7:06 pm
attention over a decade leading to school. this is a force that these really government has done little to secure this free that and before now, over the course of these war we've reported on min b. so it is really of f e o p and origin who was due to a mental disorder mistakenly costs in 202014 and was never seen again until last year. when how much would be 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 relays to the stories was made for gathering. reading. tel aviv calling on the government to 600 commitments and release palestinian prisoners. they fear the end of this ruptured might endanger the release of the hostages, still held in captivity in gaza. the risk then, not ready for the most cost,
7:07 pm
denied us media reports that washington was threatening to cut new cranes access to his vital star link internet services. if he ever didn't sign a deal over its minerals, it comes in with the ongoing spot between them or it can you claim with donald trump saying he's don't with loving. there's lensky. is this staying for peace talks? i think that money given must be paid back. a united states has given $350000000000.00 because we had a stupid in top, but it's president and administration. so we're asking for rarer than oil any the we didn't get. but we feel so stupid, i've been watching him negotiate with no card says no cards add, you get sick of it and you just get sick of it and i've had it and he did made a deal with us for rivers and savings. man, who knows what rivers is worth,
7:08 pm
you know, but at least it's something and who knows what else who is, who knows? they even have it. but we made a deal with the river. it's and secretary of treasury, a very good guy actually went there and they couldn't even come close to get a good deal done. and frankly, i wish he didn't go to the waste all of his time like that. but they couldn't get close. they met. right, and then when he wanted to get in close is a 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 it seems like washington is late to the party with london getting there. first, the british governments, at part in 3 mothers to secure exclusive rights to ukraine's resources just stage
7:09 pm
before donald trump took office ortiz marine acost rather has been delving deeper into the story. and it's 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 the term and for you claim 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 and as you fight to surrender war 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 that meet so same cement, the here in europe. so without this the any d wouldn't just work very grateful to all of those european politicians that spoke
7:10 pm
out and reaffirmed the values and principles that they are defending. no one that this veterans and presidency. senate savanski lets me conclude and this becomes difficult. the, 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 on breakable bonds, billions of a, then lots of promises museum for him. you know, mean use the tiny bit, but there was a visit to 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
7:11 pm
had more energy cooperation as the agreement sites right here. it's also summative . so 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 for 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 that's why that 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 telling the rain very valuable,
7:12 pm
rarer. so we won while we pull it 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 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 similar or less us treasury secretary scott best sense even travel to claim it was an early 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,
7:13 pm
which today we're talking about pacific, or he was there to get a document signed. and when he got there, he came back and they were just belong to 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, present zelinski and i and some cases. and rightfully so, look, number one, joe biden had frustrations as a landscape. people shouldn't forget it. there are newspaper articles out there
7:14 pm
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 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 um, it also, and now we have a vested interest in the security of ukraine and he said, sure, we want to do this deal. it makes all the sense in the world. the only thing is i need to run it through my legislative process. well, it seems the right skill fair 1st and now is a lot of skis and a bit of a pickle she has from calling him a dick theatre 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,
7:15 pm
even if they tried spa steps, complements 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 the 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 johnson, 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 a car in for it as prime minister is even willing to send his own troops and per pet consider committing, purchased forces on the ground. alongside office,
7:16 pm
if there is a lost 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 he admits that u. s. involvement is necessary, which won't happen if they don't get their minerals. so now the question remains, are the minerals there for the taking or have they already been sold? so ukraine's new bus friends, which couldn't become so lensky is final mistake. but despite the nearest landscape hostility towards the mineral steel, the us treasury secretary insists the agreement will benefit you. crane scott best and also stated it was the let's game. so who proposed on american sake and the resources back in september months before the u. k. table no, i discussed developments earlier with former director of inter governmental the 1st
7:17 pm
for the us trade representative state go. it was a leg. steve was desperate. he was willing to sell to anybody who would, would keep the arms, gives you munitions going keep toward going because once it ends his time and his value made it 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 get to my present drop is already made it clear that the site is completely committed to going forward with nato, providing that defense supposedly not offsets, as has 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, us says okay, fine. right? and you want those where is 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 investors a,
7:18 pm
lend speed off to dates to the problem and hope they just wouldn't notice that, you know, he 1st made an offer to the u. s. in september. then january strikes a deal with the u. k. a party for the very same or, but we know that there's at least 2 dates that have been invited to the problem. there may be more or might be a little bit about an old movie called the producers, were some guys decided to put together a, a play called spring time for it, or knowing that is going to bomb horribly. they go out, get a bunch of investors and then it becomes like, 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 zalinski is. he's promised everybody, every thing and now it may be time to deliver. it's extreme. scott bessette 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 get 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've still got to deal with the,
7:19 pm
the d, all of it. so let's catch up with united kingdom is the ukraine is reportedly demanding us security guarantees and exchange for the deal. that would be part of the payoff hard you for see that come megabyte. is it a realistic proposal at kind of work? well, it's not putting them in nato, which is a bright red by that. i don't think the us are certainly uh, and they put in the rest of what we agreed to. but it's the us, 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 in the us as 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, to restore peace and prosperity relationships with russia as well. i think one of
7:20 pm
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 to good business with russia as well. steve, gil, now ukraine will have no place within the you if it's membership, hahn's hungry zone interest. that was one of the main takeaways from victor or bands state of the nation address earlier. the prime minister also ruled. i'd key of chances of joining nato. the one we have on that is 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
7:21 pm
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. will it be a member of the european union that will be decided by the hung gary ends against the will of hungry and the hung gary ends? ukraine will never be a member of the european union, a set of i will pay you. let's do a political as toward some o l. a say he's a hung jury and leader has always prioritize the interest of his own people, which means the future for ukraine politically remains on certain. as i took those remarks more as um, as, as like as a buffers. there never was as part of the final several months. um, they will remain a buffer zone between russia and nato, and most keep in mind or by country to the media. planes has never been a particular friend. a russia has a particular friend of cruelty,
7:22 pm
as he has always said, we are members of nato. we are members of the e. u and he identifies with the sort of the western uh, side of the uh, conflict. so that's why he sees it well as a measure of stability and security for you, or will it be the creation of this buffer zone? so let me know as a ukraine will separate the lines of conflict between russia and the west. so he sees that that will remain a division in europe in the future, but is to be hoped that this division will not lead to war. and in a, just in case the ukraine will be the buffers of separating the western russia. all right, something else to tell you about why does germany propose to go to the pools and national elections on sunday, angry seems helping witnessed on the streets of berlin with police left wing demonstrators flashing the bobbins came after officers moved in to clear the
7:23 pm
routes for a march by supporters of the right wing alternative for germany party. the update is forecast to make significant dates across the country. this weekend. with some background on the ballots, in december jumpstart will have shows loss the vote of confidence. after firing his finance minister from a rival political party, the coalition government thing co ops leading to early elections, germany has reduced russian gas purchases and implemented other measures that have led to a rapid backward slide for its economy, which is now struggling to avoid recession. that's sure to be a big election issue as well, with local saying the root and coalition has gone to little too late. i had finished good blasts, didn't do anything to few decisions and above all, mostly negative ones. i am disappointed by all the parties 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,
7:24 pm
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 them in the program or do they have neither considered nor solved the problems of the country? i am very pessimistic. so i had hoped that frederick 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. well, earlier our sister, german language channels spoke with brenda stag member, klaus ernst from the on think list. so we're getting the act alliance party. and
7:25 pm
then archie exclusive, he raised some key issues of the fast approaching vote. has put in sharp focus the eastern city. although the current candidate for the position of tron select from the christian democratic union, free drinking match, so as not yet made a final decision, even before the election. he has made it clear that he intends to send taurus messiahs to ukraine. this would certainly lead to a further escalation of the conflict, and of course, we should expect a russian reaction. this is an unpleasant situation and we should try to avoid it. to match has not yet reached a final decision on this issue. as part of the election campaign. however, i fully believed the gemini, as well as the french, british and americans, and these have already achieved a significant level of support for ukraine. and therefore, i would like to ask an unpleasant and disturbing question, how involved all the europeans and this will at this point to be less than i'm telling thoughts from if we're talking about the relationship between russia and
7:26 pm
germany in the context of sanctions, how would you assess the impact of these sanctions on both countries in the long term who will be the winners and losers as a result of these measures, or 85 feet deep. well, the idea that we no longer need energy supplies from russia was absolutely wrong. as a result of abandoning them, that is gas and oil from russia as we are now taking not rushing natural gas, but american l. n g american l n g is 3 times more expensive than russian gas, which has led to us no longer being competitive with the united states in industries that are particularly energy intensive. this benefits the united states and homes. germany, however, it is not of russia as the growth rate, there is still acceptable. while we have already been in recession for 3 years. and by the way, russia has found ways to sell its gas and oil through other countries, including the european union. a different price is. that's a problem. these functions are the you in germany, move and russia, by the way,
7:27 pm
another thing. in reality, it is clear that the sanctions war cannot be stopped. it is being conducted as harshly as before. the only difference is that russia is liberating territories more and more quickly to take to cut you know, the ship. since i would like to ask about your current assessment of ukraine's prospects for joining nato and the european union. it was also interesting not to regarding ukraine's possible accession to nato, and i don't think it is very likely as while the war is ongoing. the nato chart does not allow for the admission process to begin. this would be hardly unusual. as for the you, there are rules that must be followed some countries wish and are attempting to push for ukraine's membership and the you. however, i doubt this will happen if we follow the usual process for joining the european union. it would take a long time for ukraine to fulfill the requirements. however, some countries does ukraine's accession to the european union for ideological reasons, regardless of the potential costs to the u, edits, member states. this is
7:28 pm
a risky proposition and i am not sure how it will play out. i can look at this point. it seems that more time needs to pass before you crane can join the you don't really see the, it's time to get out. while we come, that was the message from hundreds of demonstrators in par as who were calling for from stick with the you. the raleigh was organized by the opposition patriots party . led by former m e. p. florian philip, all the protesters, voice the anger president my crumbs policies such as funding and providing weapons to ukraine. the crowd demanded the leaders resignation. shunting he should both fight his own more. mister filippo has been a book of product of the youth as well as francis involvement inmate the mode tobin leader, my son that has become the target of demonstrations demanding she resign after her targeting of media outlets. protestors gather this weekend in front of the pro
7:29 pm
western presidents offices in the capital cushion. the recent bomb, the on the sputnik molto, been use side spark, the latest discipline 10th with fedex saying the move violates principles of free speech. the opposition socialist party, organized the raleigh. i'm just calling for parliamentary and early presidential elections to be held this year. here's what the locals have been saying about the incumbent leadership. who wants to go to the current government is ruining people ruining our children, our future. we have come out against this government, stop. it's enough. you see what's happening in the world. where are you leading us to the slow to me we stand in favor of a good life throughout children for our grandchildren, so that they can have a normal life, a life that has respect to someone who can work all their life and be able to

retire with money, she does nothing for the people. she only does something for romania because she is remaining and she wants to join the you. nobody needs us there. she does everything for the romanians. she works for them. she brought the leaders here to mold over. don't we have our own people who can leave the country? we do, and a lot of them with others where we leave and use drop for now this week, and keep right in the know with all the big developments emerging though, by giving us a follow on the x, you won't be bored. i promise you that the, the least.
