we'll rwanda... will rwanda choose to pull back from drc? also, the m23 rebel group and allowed to remain parts of eastern drc, do you have any answer? let me ask you that question. it sounds like interesting question for you. thank you very much. in the agreement we signed, we have taken the concept... ok, we will return to that press conference with donald trump in just a moment, we'll keep this thing across it. do carry on. i think i finished the last bit! perfectly timed! wrapped up! i did not even need to wrap up! tibor nagy, state with us, we are going to bring in our panel. indeed - rodney davis, former republican congressman from illinois, and charles kupchan, senior fellow for the council on foreign relations. they have been waiting patiently. so much going on today, thanks for hanging on for us. just on a point there that president trump made viewing himself as a peacemaker, he said he had done peace between india and pakistan, peace between israel and iran, peace now today between drc and rwanda - he also said of as he is said ear

i wanted to ask you about rwanda. there's been a lot of disagreement or back and forth about the actual role that rwanda has played in this conflict throughout it all. we've had a lot of denials from the wonder that it is backing these m23 rebels. -- denials from rwanda. is that true? the fact we have signed an agreement with rwanda is telling about the level of involvement and the character of the conflict. it is not only a conflict with congolese stakeholders but it is also a conflict that goes beyond our borders with one of our neighbouring countries. the agreement itself and again, i point of the fact that it is accessible, highlights precisely the issue, first of all, of reframing for both parties to refrain from providing any support armed groups and i think that is a very telling element in the agreement, but also the second aspect that is critical is that the agreement highlights the fact that the concept of operations needs to be implemented which foresees the withdrawal of rwandan forces from congolese terri

and rwanda. and a couple of others also. serbia, you know, they were getting ready to go to war with a group -- i won't even mention because it didn't happen. we were able to stop it. but i have a friend in serbia and they said we're going to go to war again. and i will mention that it was kosovo but -- it's kosovo. but they were going to have a big-time war, we stopped it. we stopped it because of trade. they wanted trade with the united states, i said, we don't trade with participate that go to war -- trade with people that go to war. we said that also, if you look at pakistan and india, it was great. they have two great leaders, two great leaders and they were able to stop, they were in the midst of a big fight, i guess everybody saw, and it was going to get very bad. and they are nuclear nations, very powerful nuclear nations. and the months and years ahead, my administration will continue to work closely with all of the parties in this deal and ensure the agreements are fully taken care of and you're going to do what's

publishing industries, but many thanks for joining us, this is focus on africa, i'm wahiga moura, now rwanda and the democratic republic of congo have agreed, to a draft peace deal to end the fighting in the east of the drc. it's expected to be signed next friday in washington dc and marks a breakthrough in talks broker by the us and qatar. well, there's been years of fighting in the mineral rich east of dr congo, which escalated at the beginning of the year, when the ruanda backed m23 group seized control of sweds of territory, including the major cities of goma and bukavu. since the beginning of... 2024 alone more than 35000 people have been displaced in drc, 80% of which has been caused by armed conflict, an approximate 1.1 million congolase nationals are seeking refuge beyond congo's borders. now to further discuss the impact of the long-running conflict, i earlier spoke to the global spokes person for unhcr eugene byan, who told me more about the current humanitarian situation in eastern drc. situation in the eastern part of democratic republic of congo is continuously being dire and th

the authorities there say rwanda backs the m23 rebels while rwanda in turn accuses the democratic republic of congo of backing another rebel group the fdlr - accusations denied by both governments. president trump has taken credit for the deal - which was mediated by the us and qatar - and says his administration has stopped a very vicious war. let's speak to fred bauma now who is a human rights activist and the executive director of ebuteli - a research institute based in kinshasa. thank you very much for joining us on bbc news today. how much, first of all, do we know about what the two sides have actually committed to in this peace deal? we don't know much. of course, we are waiting to see after the signing, but at least what we know is that the deal will be signed today and that is an important milestone. what we also know is that part of the deal will require rwanda to withdraw from parts of eastern drc at some point. also the congo government needs to fight against fldr and there will be some verification. we also know that there are discussions around economic components and economi

term as prime minister, shi sunok managed to come up with a creative idea: to transfer migrants to rwanda called the plan an urgent national priority. this is how the press described the process. representatives of the ruling conservative party, including the current prime minister rishi sunok, are considering sending illegal immigrants to one of the african countries, rwanda. an agreement has already been signed between the two countries, according to which rwanda would be able to permanently accept migrants arriving in the uk through lomanche. in exchange, the british side has paid 240 million pounds in advance sterling, but not a single migrant has yet been deported under this program, as it was blocked by the european court of human rights. in the spring of 2024 , the british parliament finally passed a corresponding law, here they also know how to count money very well. accommodation of asylum seekers, as reuters emphasizes, costs the country 8 million pounds sterling per day, so it is better to send them to africa, this does not end, we see that, in principle, that keir starmer was

an agreement has already been signed between the two countries agreement under which rwanda would be able to permanently accept migrants arriving in the uk via the english channel. in exchange, the british side paid 240 million pounds sterling in advance, but not a single migrant has yet been deported under this program, since it was blocked. the british parliament adopted a corresponding law in the spring of 2024, here they also know how to count money very well. accommodation of asylum seekers, as the reporters emphasize, costs the country 8 million pounds sterling per day, so it is better to send to africa. this does not end, we see that, in principle, that kir starmer was recently in albania at a large european summit, where he said that yes. we refused rwanda, but we will now consider some other options, in principle, as i understand it, the talk was about some countries, too, which could be transported, and send illegal immigrants while their applications are being considered, there was a story about serbia, albania, kosovo, bosnia and herzegovina, at some point i remember, eve

and the democratic republic of congo and rwanda sign a peace deal brokered by the us. the us supreme court issued a flurry of key rulings on friday - one of them a major victory for the trump administration. the court ruled that judges in lower courts have limited ability to block presidential orders nationwide. the case stems from president trump's executive order to end the constitutional right of birthright citizenship for non-citizens and undocumented migrants. the court said they were not directly addressing trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship - and sent the case back to the lower courts for reconsideration. in a scathing dissent against the court's majority, justice sonia sotomayor said that the ruling is "an open invitation for the government to bypass the constitution." in a separate ruling from a case out of maryland, public schools will now be required to give parents the option to excuse their children from certain lessons - including those with lgbtq themes - for religious reasions. the justices were consistently split 6-to-3 along ideological lin

the drc and rwanda are set to sign a peace deal aimed at ending their long-standing conflict in eastern drc, but the fate of the disputed territory hangs in the balance. jubilation in india, after the first indian astronaut, to enter the international space station, arrives in position safely. and coming up on business today: nike projects tariffs will cost the the company 1 billion dollars, as the sportswear giant looks to shift supply chains out of china. us president donald trump has said the us has signed a trade deal with china, without providing further detail on which agreement he was referring to or its contents. president trump also signalled progress in a potential trade deal with india. he remarks came during an event held at the white house to push congress to approve his tax and spending bill. as you remember a few months ago the press were saying, do you really have anybody of any interest? well, we just signed with china yesterday. right? just signed with china. we have everybody... we're not going to make deals with everybody. some we're just going to send them a letter

also coming up a break for to end months of violence in the democratic republic of congo, rwanda and combo say those sign a piece deal at the end of this month. the welcome to the show. we begin today with the escalating conflict between israel and the run is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said that the quote tyrants in iran will pay the full price for the latest round of missile strikes across israel. a major hospital in the south and parts of the tel aviv skyline have been hit with emergency services reporting that dozens of people have been injured. sheesh on thursday morning, the largest hospital in southern israel became a danger zone. around 7 am local time sirens, then explosions from intercepted missile sprang out across israel. but no school could be stopped. the smoke poured from the use of the silver oak a hospital which provides medical services to around a 1000000 people. while inside, 1st respond to scroll down for survivors and survey. the damage near the damage called these extensive and significant shifts. as long as we do not receive the necessary appr

specifically what rwanda calls the lifting of its defensive measures which is a euphemism that means to withdraw of rwandan troops and that the drc makes good on its commitment to pursue the fdlr the remnants of the rwandans who have been in the congo for the last several decades. we will get on to that in a moment to clear this up for us. why has this been signed in the washington, what is the us interest here? there are two basic sets of interests for the trump administration with this deal. the first is that a deal like this, if it works and if the united states is indeed able to gain privileged access to critical minerals from the drc and some critical minerals that will be from rwanda, that would allow the us to counter some of china's dominance in the critical minerals sector. second, this competence given donald trump the ability to score a diplomatic win by getting a peace deal done quite quickly. it was only in march the us became involved at this level and already in june we have seen a signature of a deal today. this is awfully something that has not come with other confli

an agreement has already been signed between the two countries, according to which rwanda would be ableanently to accept migrants arriving in the uk via the channel tunnel. in exchange, the british side paid £240 million in advance. however, not a single migrant has yet been deported under this program, as it was blocked by the european court of human rights. in the spring of 2024, the british parliament finally passed a corresponding law, and they are also very good at counting money here. accommodation of asylum seekers, as reuters points out, costs the country £8 million per day, so it's better to send them to africa. this is not all over, we see that, in principle, that... i was recently in albania at a big european summit, where i said that yes, we refused rwanda there, but we are now considering some other options, in principle, as i understand it, they were talking about some countries, and also, which could be transported, and send illegals while their applications are being considered, there was a story about serbia, albania, kosovo, bosnia and herzegovina, at some point i reme

trump: they should give me the nobel for rwanda. if you look at the congo. you could say, serbia and kosovo. the big one is india. and pakistan. i should've gotten it four or five times. i should think that abraham accords would be a good one too. they won't give me a nobel peace prize. they only give it to liberals. reporter: what do you support iran -- would you support iran having nuclear capabilities of the 3.6%? pres. trump: they are sitting on the largest amount of oil in the world. it is one thing for countries to say, we need to go nuclear a little because we need it for electricity and air conditioners. when you are sitting on one of the largest oil piles anywhere in the world it is hard to see why you would need that. reporter: are you concerned iran or its proxies will wage terror attacks against targets abroad if you create military action. pres. trump: you are even in danger talking to me right now. so, i should probably get out of here. you guys are actually in danger. can you believe it? reporter: does this fulfill your expectation that nato c

the deal was signed in washington by the foreign ministers of dr congo and rwanda. let's hear from them now. congratulations indeed for this remarkable milestone which is putting an end to 30 years of conflict and of suffering and which has redefined the perspective is that millions of congolese and of citizens of the greater region will have. as my colleague from drc stated, it's for the united states to stay committed because today, we signed now, we need to implement what we have signed in order to open this new era that we are talking about of prosperity so that we can reap the economic dividend of peace. hours after the peace agreement was signed in washington, my colleague carl nasman was joined by therese kayikwamba wagner, foreign minister of the democratic republic of congo. he began by asking her whether she felt the deal would succeed. i think this deal holds a lot of promise because we have seen in a very short time the us put the full weight of its diplomatic apparatus behind this deal, and i think it's with the support of the us, but also with their ke

the authorities there say rwanda backs the m-23 rebels, while rwanda in turn accuses the democratic republic of congo of backing another rebel group, the fdlr, accusations denied by both governments. while president trump has taken credit for the deal which was mediated by the us and qatar, and says his administrator..." has stopped a very vicious war. fred baumer is a human rights activist and the executive director of butelli, a research institute based in kinshasa. he's been telling me what the new deal will look like. well, we don't know, we don't know much, and we of course waiting to see after the signing, but at least the what we know is that um, the the deal will be signed today, and that is an important milestone, what you also know. is that the the part of the deal will require that runda withdraw from from eastern drc at least some point and also the congolase government commits to fights against ftlr and also there will be some some verification mechanism in between we also know that there are discussions again around economic components so of like economic integration as is a pa

of backing the m23 group, a claim that rwanda denies. details of the deal remain unclear, but president donald trump has claimed credit. now, according to the reuters news agency, congolase negotiators have dropped a demand that runden troops immediately leave the eastern drc. an earlier draft of the deal focused on either sides respect for territorial integrity and a sessation of hostilities, disengagement, disarmament and conditional integration of non-state armed groups as well as the return of refugees and displaced persons. well, the mineral rich east has been plagued with conflict for more than 30 years since the ruandan genocide. in the last few months, the m-23 rebel groups have captured several towns in goma and bukavu, some of which are key trading centers, even through... to march to the capital kinshasa. the peace agreement comes a mid reports that the united states is considering investments in the mineral rich region. in return for security and calm in an area where dozens of militias vying for resource control have operate

they are the group that the drc accuses rwanda of arming and supporting. rwanda wants the drc to disarm and stop supporting the fdlr, which they accuse of planning to overthrow the government of president kagame. but president trump also said something that raised a lot of eyebrows in kinshasa, across the region and in the continent. >> we're getting for the united states a lot of the mineral rights from the congo as part of it. they're so honored to be here. they never thought they'd be coming to. look, this is a very tough part of the world. they never thought they were just telling me. they never thought they'd ever be coming to the white house. and they're so honored. >> the democratic republic of congo has the world's largest reserves of cobalt, which powers everything from mobile phones to electric cars. and the question here is how did the drc put those minerals as part of this agreement? it didn't come up in the official signing that was led by marco rubio, the secretary of state, and the two foreign ministers. but suddenly the text will be scrutin

an agreement has already been signed between the two countries, according to which rwanda would be able to...

in essence it is an agreement that involves rwanda and the democratic republic of congo over what has been a chronic protracted crisis in the eastern part of the drc that borders rwanda but i think the outline of what getting here is without necessarily getting into the details, the us via qatar negotiated this deal that brings together these two countries but the heart of this deal is that the united states will get significant exclusive rights to explore the drc's enormous mineral resources that it requires to compete with countries like china. let's stay with that point, some sceptics have said this is a camouflage for a diplomatic triumph. to be honest, there are two problems with this. one is the fundamental one. this is not a negotiation or a diplomatic breakthrough built on the principles of values that are really inherently good or win-win for both countries. in a sense what trumpets seem to these guys is this is a new phase of the united states's diplomacy, camouflages diplomacy as you put it. here it is purely an extractive marker list way of dealing with countries with othe

next, the democratic republic of congo and rwanda are due to take a step toward ending hostilities by they are officially in washington to sign the deal after talks mediated by the trump administration. congolese negotiators have dropped the demand that rwandan troops immediately leave drc, now there will be a gradual withdrawal. the mineral east ridge has been plagued with conflict over 30 years since the rwandan genocide. the past few months, rebel groups have captured several times -- several towns and key trading centers. the country produces 77% of cobalt used in vehicles, smartphones and other tech. the trump administration hopes u.s. companies can invest in the mineral rich region if three decades of fighting were to end. let's speak to our guest from the conger research group from and why you could thank you for coming on the program. how significant a moment is this? guest: it's a very important first step, the conflict has been ongoing for 3.5 years and until a few months ago, it was unimaginable that they would be signing an agreement like this. what will come next is the i

with this law, europeans established an agreement with rwanda, why to enable rwanda to support militiase government of the democratic republic of the congo, so these militias have essentially taken control of the northern part of the democratic republic of the congo, where there are tungaston, coblat and gold that are beneficial to the european union, allowing them to gain advantages, what did the democratic republic of the congo propose? well, they suggested to donald trump that if the united states sent its forces to the north of the republican congo, they would ensure security for the... kango and unrestricted access to the materials that the congo possesses, providing them to the united states. this is exactly what happened with the recent agreement with ukraine. in other words, if the united states controls the energy plants and the extraction of rare earth, it is expected that russia will either be part of the business or refrain from bombing these sites because the american military is present. therefore, what you mentioned about interference is completely accurate. the issue is

president trump: we just lined rwanda and the congo will be doing 80 settlement. probably coming monday or tuesday. it was an honor for me to be involved. we stopped a vicious war. i want to thank jd vance for a great job and marco rubio. a long time, bloodied war with the congo. they will be making peace with congo. they can get onto making trade deals with the united states and other places. they can have a much more normal form of life. we are honored by that. as you know, we did a great job with india and pakistan. we had india in. looks like we will make a trade deal with india. we had pakistan in. it looks like we will make a trade deal with pakistan. it's beautiful to watch. serbia, kosovo, likewise. they have been fighting for years and we brought that to a conclusion. now, we have a couple big ones. we have russia and ukraine, making a little progress. and we have israel. nobody knows what that one is all about. we will find out pretty soon, i guess. reporter: the iranian foreign minister said this afternoon that if the u.s. is serious about negotiations

now, washington, as well as the drc and rwanda, have hailed this deal is a massive success. they say it's been decades in the making and it will ensure long lasting peace for the people of the eastern drc. certain things are still not clear. for instance, how all parties involved in this deal are going to get some of the armed militias that are active in the eastern drc to comply with this deal. just a few hours before it was signed one of these armed militias could attack internally displaced people, in eastern drc, killing at least ten people, and this just goes to show just how dangerous and fractious that part of the drc is. and it's because it's so rich in minerals that many of these militias, even if they are able to carve small bits of territories for themselves, it still symbolises and still brings them a lot of revenue, a lot of the minerals that are found in eastern drc are crucial to the batteries that we need for our mobile phones, for battery operated cars, so they are worth a lot of money, and this is what is partly leading a lot in the region. another thing th

now the democratic republic of congo and rwanda have signed the piece agreement broken by the united states. this deal is expected to end the long standing valid in the eastern d r c. but they will also pay the way for american companies to access valuable minerals in the region. donald trump has already have it as a long bog break through. so we're here today to celebrate the glorious time, and that's what it is for the cause of peace. and this is a long time waiting, signing of a historic peace agreements between the democratic republic of the congo and the republic of rwanda today to violence and destruction comes to an end. and the entire region begins a new chapter of hope and opportunity, harmony, prosperity, and peace. well, let's get some more on this now and cross live to our to use the vo can get. so no, no, the v us has declared this as a huge breakthrough with a conflict between b, r, c and rwanda. can you take us through the details of the deal? i have selected by the foreign ministers off the democratic republic of congo, and the one that has signed the deal and the dea
