00:40a rare humanitarian ceasefire brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump in Oleschke seems to be holding

00:47the ceasefire is supposed to save people trapped in this Russian occupied Ukrainian town and to stay

00:53in place until Sunday a delegation of European lawmakers has warned China that its expert

00:59driven economic model is unsustainable for Europe the group demanded curbs on cheap imports across

01:05more industrial sectors the warning came during a visit to China by 12 MEPs who urged Beijing to

01:12build on a deal reached earlier this month to limit Chinese hybrid car exports to the EU the US trade

01:19deficit with China has reached a record 360 billion euros and continues to widen as low-cost Chinese

01:26imports flood the European market and Christine Lagarde will leave her post as president of the

01:32European Central Bank in February around nine months before her eight-year term was due to end while the

01:39ECB gave no reason speculation about Lagarde's early departure had been building for months rumor had it that

01:46Lagarde planned to leave early so that French president Macron and German Chancellor Mertz could oversee the

01:52choice of her successor before France's presidential election in April of next year welcome to the

01:58program I'm Stefan Groker humanitarian aid is expected to reach the Russian occupied Ukrainian town of

02:05Oleschke today as a rare localized ceasefire between Moscow and Kiev enters its fourth day the truce which began on

02:14Tuesday has allowed military units to clear landmines ahead of the humanitarian operation but concerns

02:20remain over the fate of civilians trapped in the devastated town and whether those evacuated will

02:27be allowed to reach Ukrainian controlled territory for more on this our correspondent Sasha Vakulina is

02:33joining me now in the studio good morning Sasha so what do we know about this humanitarian operation expected to

02:41begin today and what about the evacuation of civilians it is the first operation like that in years Stefan now

02:48first let's look at Oleschke Oleschke is a small town in southern Ukraine it's across the river from

02:54Kherson city so when Kherson was liberated by Ukrainian forces Oleschke remained occupied and all the territory

03:00around it is heavily mined and this location is something that makes it very very complicated

03:06people in Oleschke there are about 2 000 of residents who stay there they don't have access to food they

03:13don't have

03:13access to medical help no health services there's nothing there Oleschke was also severely flooded when the Russians

03:19blew the Kohovka dam in Kherson region now now they have just a few hours to decide whether they want

03:25to leave and given that

03:26they might have to go through harsh interrogations and filtration camps to reach first Russia occupied territory before they can

03:34go back to

03:35Ukraine controlled territory they have to make the decision before two o'clock in the afternoon local time if not

03:41if they stay starting from 2 30 they will receive humanitarian aid but then it is not clear how it

03:48will be controlled how it will be observed and also after today when will be the next the humanitarian aid

03:54delivery if there will be any now I discussed this operation with Ukraine's former Prime Minister Arseniy

04:00who is very skeptical about what's happening in Oleschke today they actually took all these civilians as the hostages and

04:11now they are trading these hostages they launched a stage operation

04:16that those who hold them in captivity are going to provide them some kind of survival.

04:24So they brought to this special operation the first lady of the United States,

04:30which is Melania Trump.

04:31And the good news is that at least they've announced a partial ceasefire.

04:36But the bad news is that once again that they are using these human beings as a shield,

04:41as the hostages, as those who would be depicted by the Russian propaganda

04:49that have been saved by the egregious Russian military.

04:54And in this way, they try actually to buy some kind of positive attitude from the White House.

04:59That's my take.

05:00Do you trust the fact that the Russian army will allow Ukrainians who are trapped in Oleschke

05:07to not only to evacuate, but finally also to evacuate to the territory under Ukrainian control

05:13and not to be forcefully deported into Russia?

05:17There is no way to trust Russians, period.

05:20And they will conduct it as a special propaganda operation.

05:24It depends on the White House.

05:26Whether the White House would be really ready to provide a humanitarian support for the Ukrainians

05:33and to give the Ukrainians a chance to decide whether they want to go back to Ukraine.

05:40There is no information so far about any sort of official U.S. mission slash U.S. observers on the

05:48ground in Oleschke.

05:50Well, there is.

05:51Newsmax, Fox News will participate in covering this operation.

05:56So, let me deliver a very clear message to the journalists of Newsmax and Fox News.

06:04We kindly ask you folks to be journalists and to tell the truth, but not to parrot the Russian propaganda.

06:10This operation, the planned operation in Oleschke, overstretched, but still,

06:16could that be the first step towards any possible ceasefire that is now back on the diplomatic table?

06:22My answer would be very short.

06:24No.

06:25Russia will not agree to the ceasefire.

06:28No way.

06:29And that's an issue.

06:30Look what Russians are telling.

06:33They've told that they are ready to resume so-called technical talks.

06:38What the hell is technical talks?

06:40Putin is ready to end the war on his terms.

06:45He is ready to get the peace deal, which is similar to capitulation.

06:52Everything he is doing right now is a real way how to buy the time, how to pretend that they

07:05want to cut the peace deal, how to bypass sanctions, circumvent sanctions, how to drive the verge between Americans and

07:15Europeans, and actually how to outweigh us.

07:18This is the plan of Putin, where Europe? Is it at the table or on the menu?

07:23We need to have Europe at the table. And it's up to Americans. Let me once again reiterate. Americans. To

07:34have their closest ally, which is the European Union, sitting at the table.

07:40Who shall represent the European Union? Should it be Antonio Kosta? Should it be Kaya Kalas? Who shall be that

07:46voice?

07:46You remember this notorious phrase of former Secretary of State? Whom should I call in Europe? Well, it's up to

07:55the European Union to decide.

07:57It could be the president of Finland. It could be the president of the European Commission. We're going to hit

08:04the wall because Russians object this. Who cares?

08:08But Russians object to anybody.

08:10Correct. Correct.

08:15Sasha Vakulina speaking to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Assini Yatsenyuk.

08:20Albania introduced heavy fines for people present at demonstrations that turn violent, as the government seeks to manage daily protests

08:29demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edy Rama in the capital, Tirana.

08:33The fines can go as high as 5,500 euros. Quite a number in a country where the average pre

08:40-tax monthly salary stands at 930 euros.

08:44The pecuniary penalties are not limited to people directly engaged in violence. They will be imposed on anyone who chooses

08:51to remain in a crowd that is carrying out acts of violence or looting.

08:56Is this government overreach or legitimate punishment for destroying property? Joining me now in Tirana is our correspondent Ardith Horksha.

09:06Good morning, Ardith.

09:07Good morning.

09:08So, these fines, what was the public reaction to them?

09:14So, it was expected that the public reaction would be a little bit high on the street, but what we

09:21have seen in these two days, especially yesterday, when the fines were approved by the parliament, was a little bit

09:28low.

09:29And I said this because in the square, we saw yesterday only few people protesting. So, after the government made

09:40the decision, it was approved yesterday in the parliament, and the people that protested, even in front of the parliament,

09:50but also in front of the prime minister's office, were only like 200 or 300 of them.

09:58So, the expectations now are for the Saturday, when it's called like a national protest, a huge protest, like it

10:07was in the previous Saturday.

10:09And we will see if the reaction this time will be like huge and will cause even more damages or

10:20the fines will make the effect and the people will fear from them and will not go in the squares

10:27or cause any problems or damages like we have seen in the previous weeks.

10:32And could these massive fines actually backfire, provoking even more anger and bigger demonstrations?

10:41Yeah, this is a fear and one of the expectations to all people here that this kind of fines, but

10:50also the other decisions that the government has notified that all people who provoke violence and made this kind of

11:02violence in the streets, they can also have the ban to entry in the EU country.

11:07So, together with the fines, these are very repressive measures by the government against the protesters that may also backfire.

11:21Arit Hoksha in Tirana, thank you very much.

11:24Israel has voted, but the political deadlock continues.

11:28Benjamin Netanyahu is fighting for survival.

11:31His opponents are struggling to form an alternative government.

11:34And Arab parties have emerged as potential king-maters after historic electoral gains.

11:40Well, will any of this make a difference for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank?

11:45Or is Israel's political establishment fundamentally united in rejecting their aspirations for statehood?

11:52Let's bring in Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, member of the Palestinian Legislative Council.

11:57Good morning and thank you for joining us.

12:00Good morning, too.

12:01So, Dr. Barghouti, Benjamin Netanyahu has lost his parliamentary majority, but he's far from politically finished.

12:09From a Palestinian perspective, is this election a victory, a disappointment, or simply more of the same?

12:18No, unfortunately, it's a combination.

12:21First of all, the fact that Netanyahu's bloc has lost is important.

12:27Second, the unfortunate thing is that all Zionist parties in Israel, whether in government with Netanyahu or in opposition to

12:36Netanyahu,

12:36all share the same views of rejecting Palestinian rights, including rejecting a Palestinian state, rejecting the right of the Palestinians

12:46to have self-determination,

12:48rejecting the idea of ending the Israeli illegal occupation.

12:52And most importantly, all these parties support the continuation of illegal settlement activities, which are destroying any potential for peace.

13:02That is the problem.

13:04And they all are supportive of continuing the genocidal war on Gaza.

13:09On the other hand, none of these two blocs can form a government without the third factor in these elections,

13:15which is the very big rise of the number of seats that Palestinian Arabs in Israel hold, 19 seats.

13:21They are the decision maker in this case.

13:25And I hope this will have an impact on removing, at least, the most fascist ministers in the Israeli government,

13:32like Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, who have been responsible for terrible attacks, including ethnic cleansing in the West Bank.

13:40Let me follow up on this.

13:41Gadi Eisenkot could replace Netanyahu, but he's a former Israeli military chief.

13:47Would a government led by Eisenkot really be any better for Palestinians?

13:52It would be better if they remove these fascist ministers like Smotrich and Ben-Gvir,

13:57and if they have the sufficient courage to rely on the votes of the Arab members of the Knesset,

14:05who are ready to provide this support, so that a change can make and end this whole era of Netanyahu's

14:11administration.

14:12Netanyahu has been responsible not only for slaughtering Palestinians in Gaza and for enhancing ethnic cleansing in the West Bank,

14:21but he has been responsible for creating wars with Lebanon, with Syria, threatening Jordan,

14:27and trying to impose Israel as an imperial force controlling the Middle East.

14:33Removing Netanyahu is the most important thing today.

14:36So if Eisenkot have the courage, he can do it.

14:40On that note, Arab parties have made historic electoral gains and could now hold the balance of power.

14:47Isn't that an extraordinary opportunity for Palestinians to influence Israeli politics?

14:53Yes, and it shows you that the Palestinians, many of whom have been passive and worried and afraid

14:59because of oppression they are subjected to, and because of the terrible racism in Israel,

15:06where they speak about Israel as a Jewish-only state,

15:09ignoring the rights of the 20% of the population,

15:13and now they are not passive, they are active.

15:15Now they believe in themselves.

15:16They believe that they have strength and they have the power to demand their rights.

15:21And that's an important addition to the overall Palestinian struggle,

15:24whether in the occupied Palestinian territories or among Palestinian refugees in the diaspora,

15:29or now inside Israel.

15:31I think this is a very positive factor, and it shows that the Palestinian community inside Israel

15:37will defend its rights and defend itself in democratic means, of course.

15:43But the most horrible thing is when you see Israeli parties,

15:47whether in governments or in opposition, using racist terms,

15:50like the votes of the Arabs should not count,

15:54and they should not have a right to have a power inside the Knesset.

15:58That is absolute racism.

15:59And it brings back the main question.

16:02How could Israel claim to be a democracy when it is practicing apartheid against another nation?

16:08And how can Israel be a Jewish-only state when 20% of its population are Palestinian Arabs?

16:15Let me ask you about the two-state solution.

16:17Is it politically dead in Israel, regardless of who becomes prime minister?

16:23The only way to save Palestinian statehood and what they call two-state solution

16:28is to remove illegal Israeli settlements from the West Bank, which are now more than 560.

16:35Netanyahu has made every possible effort, and his government,

16:38to create as many settlements to kill the idea of a Palestinian state.

16:43In my opinion, maybe they have already killed the idea of two-state solution

16:48because of the lack of response from international community,

16:51which should have imposed sanctions on Israel to stop this terrible attack

16:55on the possibility of peace and justice.

16:58But if a two-state solution is killed, what is the solution?

17:02For these extreme Israeli parties who reject two-state solution

17:07and reject one democratic state solution,

17:09the only solution for them is ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

17:13But we are not leaving.

17:14We are here.

17:15We are going to stay.

17:15We will resist and try to stay in every possible way.

17:19And that's why, in my opinion, the only alternative that is really possible

17:23and that really brings the minimum of justice

17:27is one democratic state where everybody has equal rights and equal duties.

17:31All right, Mustafa Barghouti, member of the Palestinian Legislative Council.

17:36Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us this morning.

17:39And now I want to go back to Sasha.

17:41You're not only our Ukraine correspondent, also our Israel specialist.

17:45You've heard Barghouti and his remarks.

17:48What's your first impression?

17:50Well, Stefan, it is no doubt that our parties indeed emerged as kingmakers with 19 seats.

17:55This is very, very significant.

17:57But I think, you know, we've got to be careful regarding the Netanyahu result

18:02because 53 seats, this is still the largest result for his bloc.

18:05This is still very significant.

18:08Yes, it is short of the 61 seats of majority,

18:10but it is the largest and the most successful and the highest result emerging after the elections.

18:16Now, when it comes to Gadi Eisinger, we're talking about 48 seats.

18:21This is such a deadlock for Israeli politics.

18:25When we discussed the elections this week, we said that, you know,

18:29we are going to see a couple of weeks, between two weeks to two months,

18:32more or less, of the negotiations about how to form the new government for Israel.

18:36I think we are now looking at a month or two months

18:39because this deadlock, it's also about not only whether Netanyahu or Gadi Eisinger

18:43are willing to speak to the Arab parties,

18:45but also from we now heard from Mustafa Barghuri whether the Arab parties are ready to speak to any of

18:50them

18:51and which conditions would be there to join the forces.

18:53Like, we've heard now from Mustafa Barghuri that it's about ministers like Smotrich and Ben Guir not to participate.

19:00Would that be enough, though?

19:01Would that be the only condition they're going to put out to Netanyahu to join forces?

19:05So, we're talking about three parties and the three sides that are not really willing to communicate

19:11and work together as of now.

19:13And the other option is still on the table, another election and another vote.

19:17Do you fear this is coming?

19:18We'll see.

19:20Okay, Sascha, thank you so much for that comment.

19:24And that does it for us today.

19:27I'm Stefan Grobe.

19:28Take care.

19:28And I'll see you on Monday.

19:32Bye.
