There will be some swapping of territories to 10 00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.280 the betterment of both, a statement that immediately and apparently 11 00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:38.479 drew the attention of the Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski, who 12 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.159 have issued series of video and written press releases since 13 00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.399 President Donald Trump made the announcement, insisting that Ukraine will 14 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:48.920 not see any of its territory to Russia for the 15 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.280 purpose of peace or to end the war, emphasizing that 16 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:56.399 it was because President Putin occupied part of ukraine territory 17 00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.880 in the past and assembled its true Ukrainian borders were 18 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.960 without preventive punishment, made him to start full scale war 19 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.920 with Ukraine since twenty twenty two, adding that the path 20 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.359 to piece for Ukraine must be determined together with Ukraine. 21 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.159 This is fundamental. It is important that joint approaches and 22 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.719 a shared vision work toward genuine peace, a consolidated position, 23 00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:25.000 cease fire, end of occupation, end of war.

Further details to follow. 28 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.599 Thank you for your attention to this matter. Zulensky, in 29 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.400 a series of press releases on Saturday, said, I have 30 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.920 not heard any partners express doubts about America's ability to 31 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.599 ensure that the war ends. The President of the United 32 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.920 States has the leavers and the determination. Pine has supported 33 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:06.280 all of President Trump's proposals starting back in February. Cease fire, 34 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.240 all formats have been supported. What is needed now is 35 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.719 not a pause in the killings, but a real, lasting peace, 36 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.759 not a ceasefire sometime in the future, in months, but immediately. 37 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.039 President Trump told me so, and I fully support it. 38 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.719 There must be a just end to the war, and 39 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.080 it is Russia that must end the war it started 40 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.879 Ukraine and all partners shared the same understanding of the 41 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.759 need for a cease fire, for an end to the killings. 42 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.400 There is only one actor opposing this putin. His only 43 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.199 card is the ability to kill, and he is trying 44 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.479 to sell the cessation of killings at the highest possible price. 45 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.840 It is important that this does not mislead anyone. Results 46 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.800 are needed at the leader's level, dignified results, Results that 47 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.919 will save lives that the world will value and for 48 00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.000 which it will be grateful to the leader who den 49 00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.400 In Nigeria Police Force has refuted claims that its men 50 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.639 man handled Sahara, a reporter's publisher, Army La Saware inside 51 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:11.400 cell after the media personnel honoured the invitation sent him 52 00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:14.919 from the Office of the Inspector General of Police IGP 53 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.360 over allegations of forgery and criminal defamation of characters, with 54 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.960 the police stating in a press release signed and made 55 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.840 available after the detained media publisher was released on Friday 56 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:30.560 night that Saware allegedly brought bandages alongside other personal items 57 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.039 when he came to the station to honour the police 58 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:37.840 invitation and when the IGP ordered internal investigation to ascertain 59 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.719 if truly the media publisher was tortured as claimed Saware 60 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:45.560 refused to allow medical personnel from the Nigeria Police Force 61 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.719 checked the alleged injury on his hand. He had claimed 62 00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.879 he suffered as a result of the police personnel brutality 63 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:56.360 while inside cell. Meanwhile, as at the time Sware was 64 00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:00.000 released on Friday night, bandages were still seen wrapped around 65 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.319 and one of his hands are seen in the video 66 00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:05.840 while he was coming out from the IGP Rapid Response 67 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:10.199 Team IRT police detention facilities in Abuja, as stated by 68 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.199 Sware in the video.

It is not a gift from the powerful, 72 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.120 nor a token handed down by the oppressor. It must 73 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.040 be seized with raw courage, with clarity, and with collective will. 74 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.439 Those who sit in power never give it up willingly. 75 00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.120 That's why we take it back, because freedom is ours 76 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.360 and we will fight until it is no longer a 77 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.319 dream but a lived reality.

Contrary to the falsehoods being circulated, mister 86 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:24.759 Sware was arrested based on credible corroborated allegations involving criminal 87 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:29.480 offenses such as forgery, cyberstalking and other infractions currently under 88 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.879 active investigation.

The US barrister Addi andju Deji 111 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:06.560 petitioned the President of Nigeria, Bola amed Tanubu, demanding the 112 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:11.680 immediate dismissal of the IGP Kyode Eggbetoken for allegedly abusing 113 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.199 his office by thus using his high ranking office in 114 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.360 the Nigeria Police Force to settle personal scores.

A police team 129 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.399 led by a Chief Superintendent of Police from the IGP 130 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:20.279 Monitoring Unit forcibly gained entry into omiena Sware cell at 131 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.160 the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja, claiming they were taking 132 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.480 him to court. The team of nine offices, including eight 133 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:31.199 heavily armed personnel handled Sirwar roughly when he asked to 134 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:34.799 see the charges and notify his lawyers, breaking his arm 135 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.480 in the process before taking him to another police facility, 136 00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:43.080 the media team stated.

Specifically, 146 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.480 our crime reporters gathered that there is hardly no week 147 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.240 without one or two persons being kidnapped along the Innicho, 148 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.000 a wary federal road in an Ambra State, especially between 149 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:29.759 Over community and Ihiala town.

This we 153 00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.039 learnt there may be no wealthy successful business owner along 154 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:47.960 the Ihiala or who Road left to be kidnapped or 155 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:51.240 forced to pay ransom to the kidnappers.
