As we go through this. Post the bottom are put in is going to give in his speech and Everything Else thats expected to go on there. And at least in terms of what we saw in 2018 for the inauguration this took, this basically took place over the span of an hour. So were looking at more or less an hour time frame for this year as well. But its also important to look at a little bit of whats going to happen after the inauguration, as well as important understand that every time a president ial term in russia, according to as in law ends and a new one begins, deep president ial cabinet ministers has to resign and the new one has to be formed.

We are certainly looking forward to that less than 2 hours now until that an operation r t corresponded donald at quarter dawn. Thank you. Turning it to southern guys in our the idea of has confirmed taking control of guys the side of the Border Crossing with egypt after is really Armored Vehicles were seen rolling into rafa. The video shows idea of tanks and making their way through rafa, at least 5 people ever quarterly been killed as a result of overnight strikes on guys as southern most city. As after the idea of announced that sa probation would continue basically rejecting an earlier truce offered by him. Us are these middle east bureau chief maria, from ocean that has more. And on monday evening news came of tang center in rough, fun. Thousands reported about heavy fire. Dozens of casualties have been also reported. Yep. The idea of coals at at ltd operation that focuses only on the eastern parts of the city. The army keeps promising that the large scale operation is coming. I d. F is releasing photos of preparations with chief of staff confirming israels military intentions. Israel earlier said that the people now sheltering in raf funds and guys of south at least one point. 2000000 of them should started by creating the idea of sent out leaflets. Messages made calls even to encourage people to move to my wising an area next to hun eunice in the center of the street where they to many, terry and zone has been expended on israel vows to prepare this area, accommodation, food, water matter thing to embrace most of gaskins from the south, although even washington says that still didnt see a solid evacuation plan. It had requested from israel before. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised earlier. And you heard, he repeated now again, the dress of what happened with or without an Exchange Deal with him as unclear how though, as the do currently on the table that have mass accepted includes the ceasefire. Military activity comes when the reason the vibing data of a major breakthrough in the air of 2 weeks of back and forth anticipation of negotiations. A mass finally agreed to his these 5 proposal on monday, but we already started hearing from his really officials that to the terms of the current proposals and not to meet their demands. Positive response gain much International Attention and mostly also positive. Iran, for example, welcome to the move call in a significant achievement of the political intelligence of the palestinian resistance. But while welcoming her masses acceptance and mediators. After as many remains staff to go, i have to say is israel continues with rough foot plans, so ill do a waiver, condemned to move Jordans King Abdullah warrant that the operation would lead to new massacre. Jordan, in for administer assessment and yahoo is risking ceasefire by bombing rafa moss has put out an offer. If netanyahu genuinely wants to do, he will negotiate the offer in earnest. Instead, he is jeopardizing the deal by bombing rasa. We also seasons here is reaction from the united nations, the organizations hi commissioner for human rights described israels calls to evacuate russell people. As in humane adding, it contradicts International Humanitarian law. Un spokesperson, inside the decision, will only worsen dissertation of the civilian population of been clave. And here is what the wens chief has to say. I made today a very strong appeal for the governance of israel. And so the sheep of the mos, in order to go next to the mines, to mid to the allies in the agreement that these episode we believe, i mean fights of these is an opportunity that cannot be missed. And a good on the invasion is offer would be keen foldable because of its devastating human ascending consequences. And because of its this, thatd be lising feedback. And so again, the reach and what about israels biggest and most important ally, washington while saying is reviewing the gaz us these 5 proposals, stating that the totes on now at the crucial stage expressed is concerns over israels rough operation suite to rating it opposes the invasion we cannot support an operation in rasa as it is currently envisioned. We have made clear the secretary made this clear in his conversations with Prime Minister netanyahu and other members of use really government last week that we have not seen a humanitarian plan. That is credible, and that is implementable. We have also seen the comment of china as leader and deer in his 1st and 5 years, states was a to friends where he calls and the facilities. And also heard about discussions and brussels to sanction israel force actions against guidance. So the International Community is welcoming the ceasefire efforts, of course, but is very much concerned that israel is operation and rough um will ruin it. Of more on this, lets bring in the jani, been men aka middle east, and the military expert. You all needed to have us with us on the program. The is really Prime Ministers Office Confirms israel will continue its operation in rafa in order to push a mazda into releasing its hostages. What are your thoughts on that strategy, and will it be successful . I think that the user is very limited in its action in the russell are and what we saw it last night is only a limited operation. A approved by the may bite in administration, which is sticking over. The rough crossing bus is full, occupying all of the rough area and the city over rough up easily. These are refraining from doing so because of the american pressure. And we have same public reaction both in gaza and israel seemingly showing that both sides of permanently are hoping for a peace deal to be enforced. You see either side of this conflict making concessions to achieve this sort of pieces agreement. It says ceasefire agreement, end user and stealing, say that between continue the war and guideline order to dismantle the military capabilities of cum us after the 1st stage of the sick. Reason is Exchange Deal. And this is actually the main, the obstacle in reaching disagreement. Because how must insist that the wants of for the pro ration from use right. A both ending, Delores Garza and this is something that the so it cannot the gift to come us because if that then you, our problem is that the now it grew so that they would not staying power. It talked about the pressure from washington on israel. A washington has refused to assess the plan, but so to see if our deal is a top priority. And in general, how likely is it that well see the us and push israel further into accepting a potential truce . Oh yes, that will do. Shes worried because whats the most important . The thing for president , by the now is notice that you, if you will be as well it, whats important for amys to win and the president ial elections because it is for situation you the political to remind you. And i did states, wiley, president , the drum is the lead, the, the Public Opinion pools and the, the president by the end is the burning, the very best way and expectations. These are that these going to lose the election. I know that your interest and them, but what do you know about the Current Situation in rossa . Who, what we know for my does speak to the police speed is a rough offer. And what we know is that the, and also the idea of confirms that that the, these really forces to go over the rough of crossing. And now there are every burying good for further orders. Moment the political nation loans to move and occupied the rest, the what, the school, the philadelphia it corey door, which is a 14 q moment. This long a long these rarely at the end of the gaza, at each of the boulder in which hes when claims that on the read read. A few thought knows that on a used to a some under weapons eh, from egypt, the 2 guys, us, 3 palestinians fled to ross from other parts of dogs and mass. That city, of course, replies right next to the egyptian border as you said, and was previously labeled as a safe stone by the idea of what could is real hope to achieve by asking these people to move. Yet again, there really isnt anywhere for them to go this well, this is not the x ray. There is a lot of area. So they have to go because the idea, if these really all mean we throw it from the sun. Eunice area, which is north of rough up, so they can then move in. They actually started the moving towards the con units already about the, according to the estimation of the 200000. 00. And the student has already moved from rafa to con eunice and still the designated areas for them to have to stay in. And so, but what you said was she said to evacuate the innocent civilians that, that would not be good. Why are these . Why are these destroying the military infrastructure of commerce, even right, but were talking about the knows the and so on israel, it does maintain that. It only it that its attacks only target mosse, but we, weve seen robins, residential buildings, bring the brands of the, of the operation and civilian casualties. As a result of that. How does that track with the idea of some stated goals . Oh, this is not you come us these using good the civilians in all the confrontations that were from 2007 with these were a all the time the using the civilian is human shields and a locating the headquarters in the, in the civilian buildings in the on the schools in the hospitals. This is not something you would say. This is the reason for a sick civilians at the end getting killed that or injured because the why the idea is warning them before that thats the the how much force them to stay in these while these are they started getting this from us, the military infrastructure then they get to the right, were going to live with our young, even men. I have middle east and military expert. Thank you for your time. Thank you. I know from paris to bell brian to the chinese president continues his 1st diplomatic tour of europe in 5 years. And so its all for serbia as both countries march 25 years since natos bombardment of the Chinese Embassy in the former yugoslavia r t correspondent nelson again brings us more tonys president , choosing things visit to serbia will mark a historical moment between the 2 countries relations and its the 1st visit since 2016. It also marks the 25 Year Anniversary since nato attract the Chinese Embassy. The building behind me, of course, today serves as a chinese cultural center. But the 3 massages that nato was used to attack, the embassy did kill 3 chinese journalists, and the reaction from washington was nothing but insincere. The general approach, of course, of washington refer to the attack as a mistake at blink faulty maps. And the chinese authorities back in 1999 called the attack, criminal and barbaric and called on the western block to take account and responsibility for the itself. In the Early Morning of may 8 paging time, nato led by the United States raising the use my styles to attack the Chinese Embassy and the federal republic of yugoslavia, causing casualties and serious damage to the embassy building. This criminal act, which violated International Lower norms of international relations, arouse great indignation among the chinese people. The Chinese Government issued a solemn statement that morning severely condemning the ball barrack atrocities committed by nature led by the United States and demanding that nato beth full responsibility for this general approach and relationship between serbia and china seems to be one that is involving the 2 countries are growing closer together and as a result it is boring many within the European Union. But the serbian president refers to the chinese president as his friend, highlighting the level of trust and the level of relationship that the 2 states currently share. Like to see president c, because we consider him as a true friend and the a l. C. Dedicated a pro 10 that we love on serve young people with a child that has always been on a side of International Public law. All is being supportive to us as we have always been supporters of training. The sacrament shared by the serbian president is a sense of been shared by many doing business with china. However, the general European Union does not share that same sentiments because according to many, within the european blog, they suggest china has they shouldnt agenda, chinese comments. The amount of type trend with massive subsidies more that it is selling due to its own, with domestic demand. This is leading to an over supply of chinese subsidize goods, such as electric vehicles and steel, that is leading to unfair trade. Europe cannot accept such market disposing practices that could lead to the industrialization in europe. In response to these statements issued by the European Commission president , shes your opinion essentially said, no matter how you look at it, there is no such thing as the over capacity problem, particularly with respect to china. And then we take into consideration, of course, the fact that the chinese president met with the president of friends as well as the European Union and the discussing im number of matters that are especially important for the european block. And this comes at a time when of course, the European Union is questioning its reliance in dependency on the United States. And this is what china comes into play, which is why the fear exists within the block itself. But this also comes at a time when serbian hungry are essentially referred to as nations that are close with china. They are essentially labeled close allies of the russian president Vladimir Putin. And taking all of this into consideration, of course, there is a level of distrust within these Member States towards the general blog degree date system consist of featured to be finally as long as we expect to get the money. Why is the money to major migration or essential policy and the way we need so taking everything into consideration from the general it stands to us and its allies have imposed on other nations, particularly those within the European Union and of itself. But the general approach, a post war, the sentiments and the resentment is still there. And many nations disagree with the general approach of the
