palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children. the head of the world health organization calls on israel not to launch a ground offensive on the southern as a city of raffa, were 1.5 million displaced palestinians of south shelter. tedras gibres said escalation of violence in raffa will lead to many more deaths and suffering. he called on israel to refrain from the attack in the name of humanity. tedros added the people in ruffa are too fragile, hungry and sick to be moved around. on friday, the israely prime minister approved plans to assault rufa despite increasing international calls to halt the military operations. the senior leader of the palestinian resistance moved hamas says the group is waiting for a response to its ceasefire proposal from israel and the us, the regime's main accomplice in the gaza genocide. asama habdan
2:33 pm
said the initiative put forward by hamas is a realistic one with clear details. he said that it provides for a swap of captives in gaza and palestinian abductees and the withdraw of israeli forces from gaza. handan said the palestinian movement had during negotiations called for an end to the onslot, the return of refugees, the dispatch of aid to gaza and the start of the reconstruction of the strip. hamdan touched upon the divisions within the israely regime on the war and that tel aviv has achieved none of its declared objectives despite the atrocities committed in gaza. he said that hamas has told intermediaries that acts of aggression against gaza must stop. when it comes to the hamas israel ceasefire, there remains a possibility that it could happen. hamas has given a counter proposal which the israeli side. reviewed, although the israel
2:34 pm
regime has agreed to some of the points, it is also opposed to some of hamas's demands. let's look at what those points are, and how this proposal is different than the previous ones. well, as the us is really genocidal war grinds on, there has been a new'. proposal put forward by hamas raising prospects for cease fire. now hamas has proposed new 40-day truce in gaza and an exchange for several dozen israeli hostages for palestinian prisoners. for the first stage, this is what is proposed for the exchange. as you can see, the total number of israeli captives would be 42. this includes five female regime forces and 37 others, women, children, the elderly, and the l. it would not include male regime forces.
2:35 pm
here's where the ratio is different than the previous proposal. for the five female regime forces, the ratio would be one to 30 to 50 palestinian prisoners. for the 37 others, the ratio would be one or. israel captive to 20 to 30 palestinian prisoners. there's a possible snack here and it comes from the israely regime. it's opposing the release of palestinian prisoners who have killed israelis, especially israeli regime forces. something that was part of the hamas demand, and that is something that may be a snag. another hamas condition is the return of all palestinians to northern gaza, including 19-year-old males who were restricted from returning in the previous proposal. from the israeli regime, now hamas has required for the israel regime forces to withdraw from cities and populated areas that includes al-rashed and saladdeen streets in order to allow for the return of the displaced palestinians. aid is as important for hamas
2:36 pm
officials and they have required the 500 trucks to be allowed into the gaza strap daily, in the first stage also. now comes the second stage, the release of the remaining israely. captives, there are 130 captives including 32 presumed dead, subtracting the 42 released before leaves 88, which includes male regime forces, ratio is 1 to 30 to 50. hamas requires at this point for the full withdrawal of the remaining israeli regime forces from the gaza strip, one of the major sticking points. hamas's other key demands include things like reconstruction, the crossings being reopened. and ending the siege all together. us, qatar and egypt are the garantours of the agreements. hopes are, if this is executed, and there are no violations, it will ultimately end in a permanent ceasefire.
2:37 pm

2:40 pm
for palestine, and i think it's not only about palestine here, it's also about showing our anger towards the german media and the german. tradition because they have lot of power and they decided to take a side and even they use sometimes some wars for human crisis or something like this, i can't believe it, i don't, i have the feeling that it's just an. the protesters demanded immediate cease fire in gaza and the liberation of palestine and the establishment of alqs as its capital. they carried blood stained small mock body bags in reference to the large number of children killed in gaza. protesters also held up pieces of bread to draw attention to the issue of starvation in the besieg strip. pro-palestine rallies have been intensifying across europe despite attempts by the governments to crack down on the public. administrations of support during rally in the austrian capital vienna, thousands took to the streets to slam the

2:42 pm
let's see what they have to say. we are demonstrating here because today is the 160th day of the genocide. they now propose the new idea of bringing relief supplies to gaza by ship, but i think the real plot is to drive out the people in gaza by ship again like 1948. the second thing is that we're are here to say that the genocide and the salvation must stop, aid supplies must be brought in through the land crossings and not by air or ship. the us has the power to demand that from israel. we are also here to demand immediate end to the occupation. i'm here to support a justice course, which is palestine especially during those time where justice is being hijacked by those who control the power and they um miss. representing what we what humans should do, how they should support each other, whether the east, west, north,
2:43 pm
south, doesn't matter, and this particular time is not about west and east, it's about to be with just, be with human, and palestine is not for palestinian, us, for every human being is for everyone who suffers in this world, who feels what's human to be. i am here because i am an anti-fascist and as an anti-fascist, i have to be an antiidionist and to stand, i have to stand with palestinian resistance for uh the colonization of palestine and we have uh we are unconditionally solid sol solidar with the palestine and palestinian solidarity and if you uh take seriously the claim to decolonize the world and the global south you have to stand with palestine. i come to these protests because when i was 14 or 15 um i had to introduce... the topic of you know the the gaza conflict to my class in school, so
2:44 pm
before we got any of the kind of propaganda that they do teach in schools here, i got to do my own research and i did, and i think like anyone who does even a half hour of research on the subject, i very quickly kind of recognized the horrors and ever since then it's been very dear to my heart and... and now with everything that's happening, i'm just glad that there are people that are coming every weekend. iran has come a long way to gain independence in the defense industry since the 1979 islamic revolution. "its warships,
2:45 pm
speedboats, missiles and drones, among many items in its arsenal have caught many countries in the world by surprise. but as military experts and top brass say, this is only a tiny fraction of iran's capabilities that have been unveiled thus far. watch for the details in this documentary. welcome back to the news here on press tv. the nigerian government, the nigerian government, that is, says it has stopped this military cooperation with the us with immediate effect. in our news review program, we delved deeper into the story and asked for some expert opinion.
2:46 pm
this government says it has broken its military cooperation agreements with the us, calling the accord illegal. the us presence on the territory of the republic of niger is illegal and violates all the constitutional and democratic rules which would require the sovereign people, in particular through its elected representatives to be consulted on the installation of foreign army its territory. abramana said the government revoked with immediate effect the military accord that allows military personnel and civilian staff from the us department of defense its soil. the declaration came just day after a senior us delegation left niger following a three-day visit to renew contact between the two countries. us relations with niger faces challenges after a military coup outed the western-backed presidents in the african country last year. however, the us
2:47 pm
still stations some 10 troops in niger a desert drone base. niger has previously severed military top. with his former colonizer, france, it forced french troops in the country to withdraw after nearly decade. international relations and security analyst joins us from akra. we also have uh with us jonathansa who's a publisher at africa briefing who joins us from london. welcome to you both. let me first start with you and i'm just going to quote the nigers military spokesman. uh, because he pretty much explained why this relationship is going to end, and i'd like to find out from you what your reaction is to, for example, how he said that the agreement that was signed between niger and the us back in 2012 was imposed on niger and had been in violation of the constitutional and democratic rules of the country and its sovereignty. tell us why this
2:48 pm
was imposed, what he means and how it violated his sovereignty? thank you very much sir for this opportunity, firstly the year um under review which is 2012 was year when um extremists uh were awarded in the sahil, so in mali and niger we found al-qaeda in the islamic maghrib and saradin back group. uh that was sweeping across the region, taking cities in central mali and in the in north west niger, so that was the time operation bakin by france was started, and so it was the same time the us uh decided to establish a drone base in niger in order to fight extremists. now the processes that led to
2:49 pm
that uh could may have been not that tror or may not have followed. lay down rules as the military genter claims, however at the time it was more of emergency situation that brought the united states to the place. um, currently we've seen a kudita in niger and the janta is having to um cut ties with uh the uh west and so france has been removed from niger and so this current uh announcement that the uh is ending its relations with the us is not so surprising, despite the fact that us foreign policy with niger has been different from that of france. okay, well let's get into that foreign policy and again i'm going to quote there's military spokesperson who has said jonathan offsay, the government of niger regrets the desire of
2:50 pm
the american delegation to deny the nigerian people the right to choose their partners and the types of partnerships capable. okay, look, nigeria, it's a small country, so-called impoverage country, the us, you know, it's a super, the world's only super power, if you like, right? and according to the d statement um the us did not follow the normal diplomatic protocols, you visit a
2:51 pm
country, mean you form the host governments and even state the number of the delegation, okay, but in this case america did not do that, according to the uh the the the spokesman. in his statement and they just came even not on on the date that was agreed upon okay so that was condescended and i believe that during the meetings they had mean the us as usual might have tried to impose certain conditions and might have given some threats and buse the us is not happy with the with the with mali um bukina faso. and um des increasing alliance with russia, so that is what the us was trying to to count, but the u.s. is failing and to to
2:52 pm
to to see that the the geopolitical situation in fragford west africa is changing, they could have taken a quell from um niger, mali, uh, burkina fasso, you know, expelling french troops from the... territories, okay, they should have taken accupe of that and at least try to uh deal with niger maybe as equal, but not in that condescending manner, so the reaction by niger was natural. niger wanted to or wants to assert its sovereignty, it's independent, right? the the dynamics in that region are changing, so this is what the us has to take no, so what to in my opinion? what n was the right one, it may come a cost, but then um sovereignty always accecting your sovereignty always comes at your cost. thank
2:53 pm
you very much for that. fidel, ausu, international relation and security analyst and jonathansa publisher at africa briefing. thank you to both. with that we come to an end for this news review. russians are casting the ballots of the third and final day of presidential election where president vladimir putin is favored to win another term in office. officials say that 60% of the eligible voters cast their ballots in the first two days of voting across russia's 11 time zones and in online polling stations. this includes online balloting in four ukrainian regions annex by russia in 2022. the first results are expected to come out late on sunday. the voting comes in ongoing fighting in. putin has used gains on the ground against ukrainian forces and russia's economic growth, despite western sanctions to cement his popularity. the 71-year-old president has already served seven terms in
2:54 pm
office and five terms as president. republican nominee for us president donald trump says that there will be a quote blood bath if he is not elected to the top job. if i get elected, now if i don't get elected, it's going to be a blood bath. for the whole, that's going to be the least of it, it's going to be a blood bath for the country, that'll be the least of it. if this election, if this election isn't won, i'm not sure that you'll ever have another election in this country, does that make sense? i don't think you're going to have another election in this country, if we don't win this election, i don't think you're going to have another election, or certainly not an election that's meaningful, and we better get out and we better, i actually say addressing a gathering of gop supporters in ohio, trump urged voters to vote for him in the...
2:55 pm
and with that we come to an end for this additional world news, thanks for being with us, it's bye-bye for now.
