be alive. Israel will release around two thousand Palestinian prisoners,
(00:49):
including around two hundred and fifty who are serving long
sentences for security offenses. The Israeli military will move back
to a line agreed upon by both sides, but will
not completely leave the Gaza strip. Yesterday, there were celebrations
in Israel and Gaza. In a phone call with a
(01:12):
group of Israeli families of hostages, United States President Donald
Trump told them that the hostages would all be released
on Monday. God bless you, mister Presidents America. You just
take care of yourselves. The hostages will come back there,
coming or coming back. Russian President Vladimir Putin has for
(01:38):
the first time acknowledged that Russia was responsible for the
downing of an Azerbaijani passenger plane last year, which killed

defense missile which was targeting a Ukrainian drone, had exploded
(02:03):
near the Azerbaijan Airlines flight. Africa, Cameroon has a presidential

more large protests yesterday, with clashes between protesters and police
and police firing tear gas. Protesters are demanding the resignation
of President Andre Rajalina. However, until now he has only
(02:48):
changed his prime minister and government. In Mali, there is
a shortage of petrol at petrol stations in the capital Bamako,
which seems to be caused by a blockade of fuels
by Islamist jihadist militants and panic buying. Because of that
blockade last month, the Jamat Nuzra Al Islam jihadist group
(03:13):
announced a blockade of fuels entering Bamako and destroyed at
least forty fuel tankers Americas. In Argentina, a man has
been sentenced to ten years in prison for attempting to

the trigger of a pistol centimeters from Kishna's head. However,
the gun failed to fire. Brazil's exports of soybeans are
expected to hit a record volume of over one hundred
(03:56):
million tons this year. Brazil has gained from China, importing
less soy from the United States because of a tariff war.
In the United States, A man has been arrested and
charged with deliberately starting a fire in California on the
first day of this year. The Palisades Fire burned for
(04:20):
most of January in Mountain neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Twelve
people were killed in the fire. Almost seven thousand buildings
were destroyed, and an estimated one hundred and fifty billion
dollars worth of damage was caused. Investigators say that there
is evidence that Jonathan rinder Necked started the fire, then
(04:45):
called the fire department to report it, and then took
videos of the fire department trying to extinguish the fire.
In Canada, a closed theme park has said that it
might have to kill thirty beluga wales if it doesn't
receive funding from the government or permission to give the
(05:05):
wales to another aquarium. Until now, Canada's government has refused
to pay to feed the beluga whales at Marine Land,
which closed last year, and has also refused a permit

(05:27):
French President Emmanuel Macran will choose a new prime minister today.
According to the president's office, This will be France's sixth
prime minister in two years and Macron's eighth prime minister
in total. Germany will allow the police to shoot down drones,

according to Interior Minister Alexander Dobrint. Dobrint said that a
drone defense unit will be created within the police. Over
the last few weeks weeks, drone flights have forced airports
to close across Europe. Chancellor Friedrich Mertz has said that
