and we have seen a new alliance between somalia and egypt, and egypt has actually deployed troops, subsequentlyethiopia very concerned. the thinking at the moment is that it will not, it doesn't look like it will degenerate into a confrontation, a direct confrontation. well, that'd be good, of course. but sudan, it's still going on. and no external powers are really in a position to stop those two factions fighting, are they? not at all. they don't seem to be making any headway on that front. it doesn't look like this conflict could end any time soon. and it really doesn't give much hope to sudanese. half the country is food insecure, according to the world food programme. anne soy, speaking from nairobi. it's clear that donald trump has scored a stunning victory in the us election. but what's he likely to do with it? well, we've only got his own words to go on at the moment. the beginning of his second term, he says, will be nasty, a little bit at times, and maybe at the beginning in particular. he says he'll introduce the largest deportation programme for illegal immigrants in american histor

i understand between color and egypt, which is another key mediator here. but i think this simple fact to the matters they're frustrated us is frustrated because they set this goal of using diplomacy to try to get to an end to this where at least to cease fire. and the problem here is that you essentially have 2 combatants is real and home us and what remains of the mouse is leadership that don't accept the legitimacy of each other. they see this is a fight is an essential site. um, so they're, they're more inclined to use military means terror weapons and things like this rather than diplomacy. so that's what makes it difficult. i feel really bad for, for the families of hostages cuz they're still dozens and dozens of hostages that are currently held by him. on some of the groups and this is not a very good sign for them. what do you like and reports that cather is not on the stopped thing immediately, but as also asked doors, considering, asking him us to leave the country. i understand that the binding administration and others have been quietly saying t

he negotiated the disengagement with egypt and israel after 19 3.e negotiated the opening to china. those are specifics but what, in the great scope of things made him so successful? the master diplomat? first, he had a great sense of history. he wanted to know and did know the history, the culture, the politics of the countries with whom he negotiated. like china. he was a europeanist when he was at harvard teaching. he got to know china inside-out. what makes them tick, what makes their leadership tick, their 3,000-year history. so knowing history. second -- he had what i call the capacity to look around the corner, to see what was happening today but how it was going to influence happened happen tomorrow and that's a very unique feature. he also had the capacity of standing in the shoes of his opposition. he realized that diplomacy has to be a win-win situation. both sides have to come away thinking they've won and here is a great example. 1973, the yom kippur war. israel was on its heels with a combined attack against the arab states. the counte

even though there's been an effort just before the selections to place via diplomats from the west. egypt and media just in cutoff to somehow bring some, some sort of a proposal on the table to both ease, rather how much militants can agree on. now with the pull out of control from this mediation role, everything is really a big question. what is going to happen from huron? is somebody else going to take up that mediation role is katasha going to return to the store depending on what the current us administration and the next us an extraction is going to do in terms of their leverage over as well. but overall, the interest of must militants and ease, well seem to be very much domestically upholstery, each other, the combust demanding a permanent, seized by a why is wrong? if a told interested is talking about a temper ceasefire tanks funny dw senior international correspondent funding for shar injuries in 4th, a time for a quick look. now, at some of their news making headlines around the world, ukrainian officials say at least 2 people have been injured in a russian droned strike on the

busy what this delegation from egypt to is likely to do and his route any sense that's a negotiate as a now setting that sites on doesn't as well even before the ceasefire took effect near the it's rarely as we're already talking garza, of course, there's the issue of returning the cap, that was but really right now that's on. yeah. who will have very little ways in which to excuse not ending the. busy war on gaza and reaching a cease fire, especially after he said that reaching this deal in level non isolates have us. so the egyptians who have been part of the efforts to broker deal since the 1st day of this floor are now headed to tell a visa to discuss ideas we're hearing from washington as well. that this is, as you said, a priority for the outgoing administration. but at this point, there are real questions as to how this can possibly materialize. given the fact that the 1st of all is written has a fascinated everybody and how much that was willing and able to talk to them and make decisions. so at this point, it's a bit difficult to figure out who they will be talking to. and an

and we've just heard from counsel on egypt, united states, or suggesting that the main thrust of the efforts would be to push for a cease fire and gaza. is that in any of the hands to, to really decide right now either cancel the egypt or the us this will look as it was or for to wear in their hands with what i've had a deal already a year ago or the several months ago. the problem is that the media does have acted in goodwin, but the is there any government has not under by that migration as we just heard, jessica sullivan continues to patter is randy lions continues deceptively to defend his transposition. that is indefensible. we all know. and washington knows that it was nothing you know, that backed out each and every time, including from america's own initiative that was adopted by the un security council . while nothing else sees the, the war on lebanon as a war of choice, at least the past 7 weeks. he and his coordination see the war on guys as more of an existence of war for the survival of his coalition, his in the all the here and even his own political carrier. and that's

i was at the cop 27 in egypt and you start with optimism and think you�*re going to come out achievinggets into the nitty—gritty and countries having to open their cheque books and that becomes a harder conversation. there is a discussion about whether cop are fit for purpose and i think they are not. they are too cumbersome, they have become talking shops without enough action. ~ ., ., , action. what would you replace them with? _ action. what would you replace them with? a _ action. what would you replace them with? a conversation - them with? a conversation clearly needs to happen so what would you replace them with? i think there needs to be a clear alignment between developing and developed nations and what we need to see is organisations like the world bank, multi—development banks, being able to fund projects in those developing countries while enabling other countries to fund those projects. i think it comes down to a lining leg aligning the organisations that are funding these cops. we have too many different cop. it needs to be focused discussion with those parties that comes

and they said the product is go, sheets and the name of i'm us, the demons, egypt towards the americans. and that is what it is. i know that they will be sold as it was to deal with. so the, the for a very cheap okay. savings. so it's not costs are then who it should be, it should be mediating these negotiations. there is a lot of countries that they have fair. a good relationship with both sides was the finest in you inside either from us or the or the p. o. with a roots today, the bus went our bus or, and the not on israel. we have china, for example. we have russia example. they have good relationship with both sides. a lot of countries that can be the kind of each tier but not the, the goals countries, the gulf companies, the, the, they are famous especially cut out for something that i just sold celia celia and thought that was like brothers and big and big. and so a lot of interest on economic interest and uh for biggest and billions of dollars each other. think about uh uh, because their muslim brotherhood, they sold the sold security. i sold it to them, but it's pretty cut out o

so, before i got to egypt, let us be clear, there haven't been ceasefire negotiations for many, manyhad over the last few months, have been hostage negotiations, they weren't ceasefire negotiations, the israelis made it abundantly clear that after a pause in hostilities if the deal were to go through, they would return to bombarding gaza, so there haven't been ceasefire negotiations for quite some time and i think this was also part of the reasoning of the the qataris, there isn't good faith coming from the israeli, and they also had critiques of hamas at different points but you have had numerous israeli press reports showing how netanyahu's office directly intervened in the negotiations to sabotage them and i think the qataris were frustrated about this, so, i don't think there have been talks serious talks for quite some time, i think frankly we are now in the day after scenario, and i think this is also something the qataris realise, there is no prospect of the israelis removing their armed forces from gaza, that gaza will be more or less partitions into different zones, and ther

there we have a very important security partnership within egypt and we work with our colleagues and experts in the embassy handed washington to try to make the case diplomatically. i didn't mention it's the core to the mission to use our diplomatic engagement to make the case for the government of egypt that essentially this is not good for partnership and the largest country that so young is not a recipe for stability, so using our diplomatic relationship to really make this case. we try to create and work with our colleagues and our embassies and our diplomats and the secretary and the president and others to make the case that you can do both at once. you can integrate the promotion of democracy and concerns about human rights even while you're shoring up another issues with interactions and relationships that relate to security concerns are third-party concerns etc.. i would just note turkey is another one that is a country that's so critical and a known ally. we need to work with turkey especially because it's gotten wrapped in the middle east and europe with the arrest of jour
