the timeline and put an end to the ukraine. complex as invited administration from vote plus the protesters class with police in berlin on the eve of a snap election that is expected. the c chancellor all up for leave office. all the alternative for germany party hopes and that it's the strongest result in history. the live in moscow, i'm rachel ruble. you're watching r t international. we're bringing you the top new stories from around the world and the week done by to come us has accused israel of violating the gods, a cease fire and their prisoners swap deal. and that's as benjamin netanyahu

ordered to postpone the release of over $600.00 palestinian prisoners, even after him off handed over 6 hostages as agreed on saturday. here's how the is rarely prime minister's office justified. the move in light of her mazda is repeated violations, including the ceremonies that humiliate our hostages and the cynical exploitation of our hostages for propaganda purposes. it has been decided to delay the release of terrorist that was planned for yesterday until the release of the next hostages has been assured. and without the humiliating ceremonies. israel was expected to release over 600000 and prisoners after him on some of these things is rarely as hostages as part of the ceasefire agreement. but when its turn came, israel decided to put a part of the exchange on hold, sparking outrage throughout palestine, especially among the families of the prisoners waiting for them in gaza and the west bank and the report for 16 years. we have been waiting for this day, hoping for the release of our son like the other prisoners, this suffering today is

a continuation of the suffering we've endured over the years of his imprisonment. as if we were shocked, as usual, by the occupations way of dealing, hurting the families, tormenting them, and the prisoners level corner. not that today, all the families of the prisoners stayed in the gulf in rate. we will not leave this place except to ensure the safety of the families and will arrange for a warm night for them. the code that has seeped into the souls will not be eased by any homes given the difficult circumstances they have enjoyed and lived through the day. the release was stopped at the very last minute to the way to the palestinian prisoners had already boarded the buses to leave a mouse has condemned a 0. it's using it all violating the ceasefire agreement. and that's called on the international mediators to pressure the country into fulfilling it's part of the deal. we believe that again, these are the 2 games from the right wing government to sabotage and undermine the

deal, and to send a message of willingness to go back to war. this game, after how much release the fix is rarely hostages, they were shown overjoyed and thanking their former captors by it is or says that they were acting under duress and has been in general fiercely criticizing so much for the way they have been conducting these exchanges staging public ceremonies displaying the coffins with the bodies of the victims inside and of the posters depicting the light. being this of benjamin, nothing yackel with bangs and blood on his face. and earlier how mazda is also sparked outrage when they released the bodies. the 4 is really hostages, including those of 2 children and their mother. and these really forensics couldn't confirm her identity. i must said that that could have been possible because the family was still buying the idea of air strikes, targeting the building where they were being held at the time. so her remains could have gotten mixed up with the remains of other victims. in the meantime, thousands of his release have taken to the streets of tel aviv demanding that the

stories stick to their part of the deal release the palestinian prisoners during for the wellbeing of those is rarely hostages. still being kept by how much thoughts over form us and democratic factions spokesperson dmitri billy on a told us the is really permanent stories move is aimed at clinging it to power. so the only way out for him is to create an excuse to stop the the, to hold the exchange process and, and to, by the way, uh, tried to save his goal. sure. let's remember that the 2nd most important person in the governmental college and that is, will be self admitted, fascist best seller, smoke judge. uh threatened to leave the government. if the 2nd phase i'll be in agreement to seize is rarely genocide and guides that took place. this,

the 2nd phase starts next week. so uh, and then, you know, also aims at for political reasons, internal domestic political reasons. faults this agreement show. he can have a bite time to salvage whatever he can of his government and hopefully for him, maintain this goal issue and that keeps him empower and keeps him away from jail as corruption charges. oh wait for him. as soon as he leaves office, the 10s of thousands of mourners have gathered in love and on for the funeral of the late husband. as secretary general has done this, rolla, he was killed in his rarely attack on the southern suburbs of slavery in september . and as rolla led the group for more than 30 years and was one of its founders, funeral preparations have involved the setting up a stadium to host the warners and placing and giant screens along the airport road

outside the stadium for those unable to get space inside site security measures are in effect including the closure of major roads in the area of the funeral, mourners say, and as well as killing broke their hearts. a lovely. thank you. siad, master ally, god willing, our children will follow your path. you sacrifice yourself for this nation. he is certainly in heaven, and he will be a thorn in the eye of the is re lease. and now that our souls belong to saw you administer all last and we are walking on his path in his footsteps. we are deeply heart broken because we are not with him. we are in deep pain because we have been orphaned without him. the sayed, we have now become orphans. all eyes were on re uh this week as the saudi capital hosted historic tox, between top diplomats from russia and the us. it was the 1st such a sit down in years as the trump administration. 6, the deal to reset relations and,

and the ukraine conflict for good rushes for administer hale, the negotiations that lasted more than 4 hours of go to do marco rubio, particularly emphasize the fundamental importance of each country being guided by its national interest. these national interest, of course, will not always coincide, it is very important to regulate these discrepancies the conversation was very useful. we not only listened, but also heard each other, and i have reason to believe that the american side has begun to better understand our positions. i came away today convinced that they are willing to begin to engage in a serious process to determine how and how quickly and through what mechanism can in and be brought to this war. i think it's important to have this meeting because we haven't really had much engagement with the russians for almost 3 years. and it's, that's the table for future conversations. how that turns out will be up to the parties and their willingness, not just to make commitments, but to live by them that will be tested. some of the marathon talks brought an agreement to establish

a bilateral consultation mechanism while normalizing the functioning of mutual diplomatic emissions on ukraine. the russians and americans decided to appoint teams that will work toward a peace deal of moscow. and washington also mold over rebooting the political and economic cooperation after the military conflict. and both sides have pledged to stay diplomatically engaged from now on as long as the landscape was not invited to the negotiations about ukraine and saudi arabia delayed or claimed. he was actually planning to visit re on the next day, but decided to reschedule the trip to march, apparently because he doesn't agree with being sidelined from this weeks tops. what does it mean the united states is discussing with russia the ultimatum that put in set at the beginning of the full scale war? again, about ukraine without ukraine? i wonder if we didn't accept such ultimatums that the most difficult moment. why are we likely to do it now?

american investigative journalist, ben swan gave us his take on the prospect unfolding amid the new day tons between moscow and washington. one of the things that makes this entire dialogue is so important between the western russia is that they didn't talk only about ukraine, which is interesting because for the past 3 years, we've seen that the united states doesn't talk to russia at all. but when we talk about russia, it's a completely singular, we only talked about one issue, the war and ukraine. and so one of the things that we see in this discussion that was very important was an entire discussion about gaz problem and about energy. the fact that the united states is talking about working with russia and getting investment into a gas problem and working on energy projects with russia is not just stunning. the reporter. so there are a minute ago, a week ago, a lot of people wouldn't believe in this conversation would be happening now. a year ago, a lot of people thought might have thought this conversation would never happen again. the idea that the us is talking about energy ideas with russia at

a time when europe badly needs both russian energy and american energy and the united states is trying to really build out its energy profile. i think it's a pretty remarkable moment. so that's a very important moment. again, this discussion going far beyond just ukraine, but also talking about bigger issues about russia in the united states. the united states saying they want to see americans being able to invest in russia and russian companies able to act in the united states. again, this is something that a year ago, 2 years ago, wasn't even discussed by the us president turned at the tables on the in battle. do print in later this week. as donald trump called blood in her zalinski, a dictator without elections, the new white house wants compensation for all the money spent on the military complex that the biden administration provides. a zalinski is reportedly refusing to sign a pay back deal even as the proposed terms keep getting worse for him. trump has said he's literally sick of the landscape. bickering of the night estates 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 a big 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 things man who knows what rivers is worth, you know, but at least it's something and who knows what else who is, who knows? they even have it. but we made a deal with the river. it's and the secretary of treasury, a very good guy, actually went there 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 of the british government, apparently managed to secure exclusive rights to ukraine's resources just days before donald trump took office ortiz ran across right of a husband. delving deeper into the story, it's clear that the u. k. has become very passionate about the ukrainian calls, all of a sudden, especially the last couple of months, even as a piece deal seems within range. wanda is determined for ukraine 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 to surrender as well 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's folk out and read from the values and principles said they are defending. no one is better than presidency. senate savanski the last couple weeks of being in tears. and all this was proceeded by another strange moments about 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. 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. everything that really adds to our resilience and the opportunity to develop either has more energy cooperation as the agreement states right here. it's 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 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. well, isn't that nice and potentially lucrative for the his case?

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 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, rarer we was. well, 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 or as, and other things. here's the thing. we don't get our money back and we told them that the deal is we do something similar or less us treasury secretary school and the best ones,

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 secretariat when he came back and they were just, i respect the united states and that's why i said that this document is not ready to send. i said there's 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,

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. hold on the same as a broad scope there for us. 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 spots. they have 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 more time as the u. k. did during world war 2. and boris on a said, the man who just have to button and make sure the conflict kept going forward. 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 and further as prime minister is even willing to send his own troops unprepared to consider committing purchased forces on the ground. alongside up is if there is a last in piece agreement, but the must be a us back stop. because i us security guards, it is the only way to effectively, to, to russia from attack can you create a good but as he can see, even he admits that us involvement is necessary, which won't happen if they don't get their minerals. so now the question remains, are the minerals there for the taking or have they already been sold? so ukraine's new best friend which could become the landscape final mistake. still, despite lot of his landscapes, hostility toward the minerals deal, the us treasury chief and says the agreement will benefit ukraine. secretary best

and also stated it was the landscape himself who proposed an american stake and the resources months before the u. k. deal was signed. we spoke with scholar and energy expert alexander little besides who says, trump is unlikely to research washington's investment to ukraine in mineral resources deal if they're still supplying results. is can be a rather lengthy process trumps idea to get $500000000.00 from ukraine over night. relatively speaking is completely and realizable for many reasons. if we talk about red metals, there really aren't many of them in ukraine. rap metal should be distinguished from all this gas elements, lithium uranium and titanium must gas metals, as well as the navy and precious metals, and so on. ran minerals include a group of 17 elements that are really needed for the industry right now for technological development. as for wrap, the metals there really aren't many of them in ukraine. they are located in an area called the ukranian shield,

a large geological site. some of them are in the raw stalls and don't bass regions . so i think they already belong to russia. therefore, concerning rad metals trumps idea is good, but absolutely impossible. huge investments are needed 1st in geological exploration, then in the construction of mining and processing plants. as for lithium shifting cups, co, you, which was ukraine's largest deposit already belongs to us. and in this regard, there is nothing more to say about lithium, all in all. this is an absolutely impossible idea for trump from all points of view, both economically and most importantly, geologically rare, earth metals, for example, the hard to find mental lithium eat on must cool that the oil of the 21st century, lithium is really in demand. for example, for lithium batteries, they are reserves, but they all small. they are not profitable at the moment because there is a military operation there and then they will require a lot of investment. also, you need to understand that this is one gram of what's needed for every one ton of

rock, or maybe a few grams per ton of rock at best. that's how rad they opt mines in. processing plants are also needed. it's the oxides that must be extracted and they have to be converted into the necessary product for that. a special facility is required, but the germans are taken to the polls and the crucial federal action. today, the stakes are high and emotions has been boiling over, protest turned violent, and berlin on the eve of the snap of the the german capitals, 3 and 7 rock by rival rallies organized by left wing on t 5 and right wing a. if the supporters a lot or party is projected when it's largest ever share of the national vote, the federal power crisis has been escalating since chancellor. all of schultz has coalition collapsed in november. he is widely expected to leave office after

today's votes. opinion polls currently projected that center, right christian democrats will come out on top. the alternative for germany holds a strong 2nd and all sorts of social democrats trail in a distant 3rd place. cd you leader frederick merits is considered by many to become the next. the chancellor,

the earlier our sister, german language channels spoke with when to start the member klaus ernst from the and t global este sarah wagner act alliance party. and then our to exclusive. he raised some key issues. the vote has put into focus. the eastern city beach, although the current candidate for the position of chancellor from the christian democratic union friedrich, mad so it has 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 believe that germany, as well as the french british and americans needs to have already achieved a significant level of support for ukraine. and therefore, i would like to ask an unpleasant and disturbing questions. how involved are the europeans and this will at this point to pretty last. and i'm telling thoughtful. and if we're talking about the relationship between russia and 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, maybe 5 feet deep are 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 right 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, i think that's a problem. these functions of the you and germany move and russia, by the way, 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 head, 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 tomato. i don't think it is very likely as while the war is ongoing, the nato chart that 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 in the you. however, i doubt this will happen again 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 a risky proposition and i am not sure how it will play out long at this point. it seems that more time needs to pass before ukraine can join the you. i'm really dusty to all right from on the star as we're coming here and our to international visit our website. archie. com and i'm back with more news in about half an hour. i'll see you then bye. a

look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except we're so charters at conflict with the 1st law show your mind, anticipation. we should be very careful about visual intelligence. and the point obviously is to create a trust rather than fit the various mean with the artificial intelligence, we have somebody in the team and the robot must protect this phone. existence was on

the, the compass motor on this than most american politicians. here's the one who was exposed, then lies deceit and the corruption. the american system also is the one who's willing to have a dialogue on issues can only be solved. you had to cease why them and them, at least are, you stopped at the dial up process and is towards the lensky. look at your boss, your mandate, the
