our southeast asia correspondentjonathan our southeast asia correspondent jonathan head our southeasttjonathan head at the airport in bangkok where those five nationals have those five thai nationals have just returned after almost 16 months in captivity. jonathan, good to talk to you. israel and hamas followed through with their fifth hostage exchange on saturday since the ceasefire agreement went into effect three weeks ago. israel's prime minister expressed shock at the condition of the three hostages that were released by hamas. they were freed in exchange for the release by israel of 183 palestinian prisoners, seven of whom had to be taken to hospital, according to the palestinian red crescent. israel says it is sending a delegation to doha for the next phase of ceasefire talks. our correspondent wyre davies reports. for the families of the three hostages, held for a90 days in gaza, this date was the one they'd been waiting for. carrying ellie sharabi, ohad ben ami and or levy arrived at the handover point, watching from their tel aviv home, eli sharabi's family couldn't contain

things like potentially moving the factories out of mainland china, looking at opportunities in southeast asia. that has been a really big region of opportunity for chinese businesses and also expanding those trade ties. securing deals with the, all the young region in southeast asia and also central asia as well. so that diversification has provided a degree of installation and don't give china a position of strength as it looks to potentially negotiate with the us this week. all these additional time. as of course, these tasks will have an impact on chinese businesses. although we often hear the perspective that it's us businesses, it's us consumers that pay the run to these terrorists. they do, of course, have an impact on the chinese businesses as well. but some of that impact may be mitigated by the fact that exports are a key area of strength for the chinese economy because of the diversification that we have seen, both in recent years. okay, thank you so much. just jessica washington for us that and patient the best china tariffs come off to mexico and canada cut allows me to deals to d

in the 1st place, across 4 is the southeast asia. same thing, there's a lot of russia has a good political capital across amazon as well. and because of the efforts of russian diplomats dispatched to 3 years, especially as the most of us young understands that the worship position and no wonder that as the on is coming to bricks. now we have for has the power houses as breaks. members include, i mean donasia, which is a full bricks member, there is no room so full be across the southeast asia, for instance, the ball, china, of course, it's a chapter in itself because china, even though seizing being never approved, let's say a 100 percent d. s. m o. uh there are efforts by chinese media, which as we know is heavily controlled to explain the russian position to the chinese public. and this is well understood all across china as well. so we see only what, what i call natal stand. this space, which is meyer in russo folder. yeah. yeah. uh and believing in their own propaganda and believing in your own, propagate. okay. and we have one m

i think if you're talking about southeast asia, certainly singapore, malaysia and the rest of southeast asia, there is a lot of optimism. then there's a lot to be optimistic about. and they're doing they're doing the right and smart thing with their counterparties in the us and europe to attract that capital in singapore, for example, has done an incredible job of deregulation and making their market incredibly competitive and attractive. so those forces have shown that that the capital will flow in and will help you grow your economies. as a result. i think china still remains really a difficult picture to buy into. those that have tried to, you know, time, the bottom and time, you know, how much support the chinese economy will get from the government. these are all guesswork at the best of times. so i think china remains still that one piece of, you know, loud noise in the picture when you think about asia at large, that it's really hard to understand when and where the picture starts to turn, especially with the geopolitical uncertainty now. but southeast asia definitely remains muc

a lot of chinese companies are investing in cambodia and southeast asia.s factory is hiring hundreds of workers as profits soar. successes like this one increase the chinese footprint across south east asia. chinese firms have been coming here for over a decade but that is now accelerating. about 90% of all garment factories in this country are now chinese run or chinese owned. the terrorists have not stopped chinese business. they simply go elsewhere to do business. crates now shipped from cambodia as china navigates its way to the straight war. it may be losing some money in this battle, but it is gaining power and influence. anchor: donald trump will meet benjamin netanyahu in washington on tuesday. the leaders will hold a work meeting before an informal dinner. this comes as the release of hostages continues. hamas has since israel the names of two other men it will release. they are expected to be released in what could be the fourth prisoner swap of the cease fire. all of this comes as former hostages are talking about their experiences in captivity.

it has strength and trade ties with the all the on countries in southeast asia with, with the cost african countries as well, central asia as well. and those strengthens trade ties should provide somewhat as a buffer and some installation against the shots coming out of the us. okay, thank you so much for all of it. just jessica washington for us and beijing as well . so the heads here on l just area. i'm going to send you an implant amount. we're after meeting with you a secretary of state of mind for move your the government will be allowing the united states to deport hundreds or thousands of on documented migraines. the aspect has been some stormy weather in the central med sicily seeing flooding of the process of initially at risk from thunderstorms which are slowly declining in there for all city. that's exception, not the rule. most of europe is settled under these high pressure, so you might see the sunshine that it would be cold. you might get it with a cloud and a bit of snow which is running down to the eastern countries down towards the black sea. i'm not to is going to coordin

particularly vala tire relationship, increasing those trade relationships with the young countries in southeast asia, with africa, with central asia as well. and those increased and boosted trays of trade relationships should provide a degree of installation against whatever shocks might be coming from the trump administration. jessica washington brings the very nice is that from badging many? thanks jessica. now 6 american men detained in venezuela have been freed by present nicholas mentors, government. that release follows a meeting between madura and trump's and void, but should grinnell, who discussed usda mom, the funds toilet take fund defaulted, migrants, and we want to do something with vendor as well. and we've been, i've been a very big component of that as well. and my daughter faith treated as not so good, but they've created more importantly, the venezuelan people very badly. we have a tremendous been as well and population. i got 92 percent of that as well. and now we want to see what we can do to get people back in their homeland safe, free, and that's fine. as long as we're on the a

so phobia across the southeast asia, for instance, both china. of course, it's a chapter in itself because china, even though seizing being never approved, let's say a 100 percent d. s. m o. uh, there are efforts by chinese media, which as we know is heavily control to explain the russian position to the chinese public. and this is well understood all across china as well. so we see only what, what i call natal stand this space, which is my are a little so folder. yeah. yeah. i and believing in their own propaganda and believing in your own propagate, okay. and we have one minute left here and you're the diplomats on the program. will diplomacy a b t to this new administration. and i'm not thinking of only about ukraine, but i'm thinking about a west asia or the middle east is diploma. so going to be a tool that's going to be deployed because the last administration didn't do it. go ahead. but it must be this been a complete deposit of the diplomatic space. i move in a decade sauce and we don't send the credit cards. it's not a 2014 tool, it's ki

the weather starts to approach from the south, and it's southern parts of southeast asia that will continue to be in on dated with regular spring bus coming back into the malay peninsula on choose a way to weather as well. of course weston areas of indonesia. and as we get to the mid week, you can see the heavy rains starting to pull into central parts of the philippines, bringing a flood to risk here. the, the, the latest news all off for online casinos, including many found to be involved in scamming, shall be posted by now. since president, 14 and marcus junior declared a total dance last year with detailed coverage, just states fees them as a security threat. both agency, se, se housing save by those done to protect it from the hoss of the story. young people, we talked to lots next screen pulled up, and the lack of adults forced them to fix it. they said it's cheaper to buy drugs next, comfortable, and then for the wave of this rate, the palding's devastates the janine refugee camp. molded 25. tell us the news killed and the operation and the occupied westbank launched off to the kansa

it's like, it's like you're from texas like africa, like southeast asia, but that has also created some backlash or some response where there's a view that, you know, cheap p c made goods of flooding uh, these markets. so you're here, the discussion about over capacity not just in europe, but also in places like indonesia, malaysia and thailand. so, you know, the, they've, the diversion of the c trade is sort of a, has sort of a mixed effect sofa in your opinion. right now it's such a diversification able to sort of where the, the incoming us store i guess that actually will have to see the hope that it will, it, it can. but as with many things, this is a set of policies that's put in place based on expectations, whether those expectations will play out. um, we don't really know yet and of cost as the upcoming conversation between us extra general she and hasn't trump, maybe they'll work something out just like uh, the canadians and mexicans have yeah. one seems to sometimes think that it's a one way street us as terrace and china gets hurt, but china to have said it's reciprocal. so ho

this one's on a shot was meanwhile, across southeast asia, posts of fairly heavy rain just coming to the central northern parts of the philippines. furthest i elsewhere as you can see, a good scattering of showers while she's roy around the light peninsula into in china. i lost you, try to prosecute part of in the shore line can also essentially dry and settled. we've had a western disturbance making its way across the north, west of india out of pocket stop. now pushing over tools and you'll see some wet weather coming through here. but try and quite to behind the in february 1958. the french airport responded to a nation village near of curious border getting more than 70 people. what happened and associates showed that the colonial status coldwell social saying that the secure city uses the tax resounded as far as the united nations of the real world. examples, the incidents that put the old jew in world of independence on the stage. the story of a massacre announced a 0 was donald trump so upset because of the us presidents proposes taking over the stress and relocation palestini

of those include, for example, shifting the factory and manufacturing operations to places in southeast asia like vietnam, like malaysia. all those, for example, has been expanding the offshoring options. and if we look at also the broader picture in terms of how china is trade landscape has shifted since the 1st trump administration. china has really done well and expanding its trade partnerships elsewhere in the world. it's now the top trading partners for a $120.00 countries that should provide some installation against these kids of these additional 10 percent. okay, thank you so much for explaining a little bit for us jessica washington in beijing, which homes terrace will be paid for this by companies in the us. and here's how it works. the president actions the tariff through an executive order and the us treasury is responsible for collecting them. companies in the us that import goods been pay. the phase that important now has a product that's more expensive than before. and the us government has a new source of revenue, at least in the short term. so what happens next? well, the im

within the us, seen an expansion of trade ties between china and the, all the young countries in southeast asia, china, and central asia, china and africa, basically a diversification to dilute some of the risk that comes from concentrating too much on the us market, of course that will be some touch to chinese businesses, particularly those that focus on the us market. but many of them have already made adjustments and corrections as needed. for example, moving some of that manufacturing operations to places like vietnam. and felicia, and even in the preparation, anticipating these additional, this 10 percent tariff, many of them have been offshore and in terms of their, their supply as well. so certainly a degree of preparedness. this is the 2nd time around for china and, and perhaps anticipating that they might be a degree of touch if the trump administration does look to impose the tires. also worth noting that on the campaign trail, donald trump was talking about even a 60 percent tariff on chinese. good. so what we're noting from observe is here that the seems to be brought, the motor is

i'm an interest in boucher in southeast asia and 7 refugee camps on the tub and beyond. my board and mostly funded by the us are running out of food. an essential supplies suspension of funding has left many people who have been clear for we supplement with little hope of ever making it to the us. tony chang reports from mila on the time the on my board with honorable refugees of feeling the immediate impact of president trump, sorta this was to be the stones of a journey to the united states and freed the pump, the way to citizenship, for tens of thousands of state this refugees from me em. but 3 weeks ago, the center was suddenly closed. i went to study harry was born in thailand after his parents plugged me in my most last year he passed the final test resettlement to the us. he told me he was looking forward to moving to nebraska, working in a meat packing pond, learning to drive. and most of all, he was looking forward to having a home. now that dream is gone and all that i had the same hope says everyone else . everyone in the account, folks say, i heard the progra

looking at offshoring, having manufacturing opportunities in vietnam and malaysia, other places in southeast asia. so there is a degree of preparedness that comes this time around in terms of how china is looking to deal with this slices around a tire. jessica washington joined usa from badging many. thank jessica. the investigators in sweden trying to time in the motive for what the prime minister is going to west mass shooting in the nation's history. and it's 11 people were killed and several injured on wednesday when a gunman opened far out of college in the city of or a bro, this island is amongst the dead police report. so i'm stuck on another night in sweden and another crime scene. but this one was nothing like anything, but there's going before gangland killing stuff become routine in this part of scandinavia. but the must shooting as an adult college in the city of a referral on tuesday was something else altogether, leaving a country and so the community traumatized and key liberties may. hans includes the heavy x and a guy next to me was shot in the shoulder. he was bleeding a lot. we

the firms are the two guest ride-hailing providers in southeast asia and have held on and off talks forrs. shares of german chipmaker infineon also surging after the company's forecast revenue expectations. a bright spot in an industry that has been grappling with a slump, a situation which would not be helped by tariffs, says the company's cfo. >> a major escalation of the terrace is not included in our guidance, because we still are not giving up in advocating for free trade. we do not see that as positive for the industry, so an escalation of tariffs and counter-tariffs would be negative. jackie: coming up, we will discuss musk's handling of the department of government efficiency with jennifer from the nick cannon center. this is bloomberg. ♪ the way i approach work post fatherhood, has really trying to understand the generation that we're building devices for. here in the comcast family, we're building an integrated in-home wifi solution for millions of families like my own. in the average household, there are dozens of connected devices. connectivity is a big part of my boys' live

china giving mostly in southeast asia and maybe pakistan, u.s. giving mostly, i don't know, in in central america. so do we see this kind of, you know, sphere of influence in a very kind of old fashioned a way being visible in the distribution of aid or what that? much more largely kind of despite around the few other partners of the moment. definitely in the case of in the case of russia, for sure. and i think, again, russia of the three actors is probably the most limited lots of limitations. a this humanitarianism is by far less developed as an idea in russia's context than in the context of the united states and china. there are lots of limitations in terms of, you know, how those development and humanitarian assistance doctrines are written. there are there were some debates about how you structure institutions inside russia to administer aid. again, there are lots of lots of deficiencies and limitations on how what and i think this has something to do with the fact that it was much easier for putin to pick up a phone call. a phone and, you

they've tried to diversify where it sends exports to places such as southeast asia to latin america,rope, even to russia, kind of as a preemptive move. and on this topic of fentanyl, it's an issue that has come up before. it's something that the biden administration has brought up with leadership here in beijing several times over the years. >> marc stewart for us in beijing, thank you so much. and overnight, mexico's president says that her country is tariffs with a cool head. her words there. cnn's correspondent valeria leon is in mexico city. valeria, tell us more. >> so the u.s. is by. far mexico's. >> largest trading partner, which means that trump's plan to impose tariffs on mexico could be damaging to the u.s. economy. mexico's president, claudia sheinbaum, called for a cool head and stressed that her administration is actively working on measures to mitigate the situation, although she declined to go into detail about the plans, she has previously said that mexico is prepared to respond with tariffs of its own. moreover, mexico's economy minister marcelo ebrard said that trum

expand its export reach, not just depending on the united states, but looking at places such as southeast asia, latin america, africa, even russia in an attempt to spread its business. also, it's important to note that china that the united states said it's instituting these tariffs because it's not satisfied with how china has been responding to the fentanyl crisis. china did respond to that, saying it has shown its support to the u.s., but the fentanyl crisis is very much an american problem. >> many corporations and business groups are furious over the new tariffs imposed by president trump. but one fuel manufacturing leader says he's hopeful the u.s. can come to a solution with its neighbors before customers feel the sting of rising prices. cnn's matt egan breaks down how these tariffs could affect consumers, amid what the wall street journal is calling the dumbest trade war in history. >> it is really. >> important to stress that these tariffs represent a far more aggressive use of trump's favorite economic weapon than anything he did during the first term. we're talking about hitting aro

locations fighting hunger in africa, providing clean water in south america, fighting disease in southeast asiathe world's richest man, elon musk, says he suggested to president trump the program be shut down due to what he calls corruption. musk and his team have also gained access to government payroll computers at the treasury, alarming many a protest here yesterday outside the treasury included members of coress who are alarmed by what they see as the speed of the unelected billionaire's takeover of government institutions. every single one of us has a responsibility to stand up to this fraud, and it is true we have to reach out to everyone in this country conservatives, liberals, republicans, democrats and tell them that we have not months, we have not weeks, but we have days to stop the destruction of our democracy. we have work to do. musk has been encouraging government agencies to offer mass resignations with a payout like he did at twitter, though many twitter employees say they never got their money. in a new memo, the cia has offered a payout buyout to every employee who wants to qu

it does business, opening up new trading relationships or increasing trading relationships in southeast asia. in latin america, africa and even russia. kind of a preemptive move for a situation like this. again, it's the chinese new year holiday, so perhaps we'll get more detail from from chinese officials in the days ahead once everyone gets back to work. but rosemary, no question that officials here in china will be listening to the leaders of mexico and canada to see what they have to say as well. >> indeed, marc stewart joining us live from beijing. many thanks. ron brownstein is a cnn senior political analyst. he joins me now from los angeles. good to have you with us. >> hi, rosemary. >> so most economists agree that donald trump's new tariffs will cause more pain for americans. and now even president trump himself is acknowledging that fact. in a post on truth social. despite previously promising voters that he would bring prices down. how politically risky is this for the trump administration going forward? >> yeah. >> it's an enormous gamble, not only with the global economy and the

expand its export reach, not just depending on the united states, but looking at places such as southeast asia, latin america, africa, even russia in an attempt to spread its business. also, it's important to note that china that the united states said it's instituting these tariffs because it's not satisfied with how china has been responding to the fentanyl crisis. china did respond to that, saying it has shown its support to the u.s., but the fentanyl crisis is very much an american problem. kim. >> all right. so as you say, we'll have to wait to see exactly how china will react. mark stewart in beijing, thank you so much. and we get more now on canada's reaction from cnn's paula newton in ottawa. >> canada says it feels like a country targeted and scorned by the united states. the reaction here was visceral, emotional, but also clear headed about the devastating challenges ahead for the canadian economy. and keep in mind, donald trump is ripping up an agreement that he signed with canada in terms of trade, canada is now coming to terms with the fact that he no longer wants that relationshi

. >> in southeast. >> asia. >> latin america, africa. even russia. and it also fits in line to its.ger ambitions. >> of being a leader of new world order. >> so in a. >> sense that could help. >> china, as far. >> as, you know, what. >> it's going to. do with this. >> u.s. situation, would it. retaliate with more. >> tariffs? >> it's a possibility. but right now china. >> is dealing. >> with so many economic. struggles of its own. as someone who lives here, i can tell you that the economy is shaky. people are afraid to spend money. it's dealing with the housing crisis as well as trade tension. right now with europe, the one thing china has to its advantage that certainly the united states knows, but also the rest of the world, it's its factory system. china has such large capacity. i've been to these factories. they are huge. they are sprawling, and they're also very flexible. so when americans want everyday products, whether about clothing, electronics, furniture, china can deliver. america sees value in that. and china is also hoping the rest of the world will see value in that as

government buildings, infrastructure, roads, ports all over the world, africa, latin america, southeast asiampete with china. we are unilaterally surrendering to china in terms of global influence and all these places. if we get rid of usaid and china will fill that space immediately. they already have been. we've already been behind the curve. this is one of the biggest cell phones imaginable when it comes to us influence in the 21st century. >> before i let you go, i do want to get your reaction to president trump's comments last night about taking over gaza and removing its people. >> i mean, that, too, is not exactly something that seemed like it had been prepared in advance. the reality is, the 2 million people in gaza don't want to leave egypt and jordan, the neighboring countries that trump wants to take. those 2 million people don't want to absorb 2 million people into their countries. the entire middle east rejects this plan. the rest of the world is looking at this and thinking that the united states has either lost its mind, or has the kind of territorial designs on the middle eas

and if you've been in a lot of places in, you know, southeast asia or asia, you'll, you'll, you'll, you'll understand that it's buildings and people, you know, closely packed together. that said, it was a place with real infrastructure and a, you know, a city that looked like a city. you're back there. how how bad is the destruction? the physical destruction. >> it's extreme. it's worse than we have ever seen. colleagues who have been to places, many places around the world have said they've never seen anything like it. and our colleagues who are gazans were also shocked. i was with one colleague driving through jabalia, which was an area heavily impacted by bombardment. he's from there, and he didn't recognize his community, his neighborhood. he got lost because the buildings there are essentially flattened as far as the eye can see. so it's really bad. and that impacts not only people's homes, but also the services that they rely on, such as water. water in the north of gaza is less than 20% capacity of what it was before the war. so people are really struggling to reestablish their live

the european union all battling the united states, because that would give an opening to china, southeast asiaell, southeast asia is a major player here as well, and i'm sure is reevaluating the trade routes and the trade relationships. >> so these tariff wars will continue perhaps branch out. and what are your predictions slash concerns about the impact on the health of the us economy. >> well, it's not only the health of the us economy, it's the health of americans. i mean, the fundamental issue here is not only jobs, it's wages. it's americans access to the kind of medications we need around the world. it's the problem of prices. my worry here ultimately is that in in terms of trump's drive to show himself as very powerful, that nobody can stop him, that he is the bully of bullies, he is going to increase prices. i mean, tariffs are essentially, as we now are learning, as most people know, taxes, they increase the costs of goods coming into the united states. a lot of americans are going to be paying much more or could be paying much more. a lot of the suppliers to many of our companies are
