00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.919
<v Speaker 1>Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski has continued to make phone calls

2
00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>with world leaders since President Donald Trump of the United

3
00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:12.320
<v Speaker 1>States US announced that President Vladimir Putin of Russia will

4
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>meet with him next week Friday in the U S

5
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:18.679
<v Speaker 1>state of Alaska, and stated, while answering questions from the

6
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>White House reporters, that there will be some swapping of

7
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:25.440
<v Speaker 1>territories to the vetterment of both Ukraine and Russia, specifically

8
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 1>saying we will get some back and we will get

9
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:30.879
<v Speaker 1>some switched. There will be some swapping of territories to

10
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>the vetterment of both, a statement that immediately and apparently

11
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>drew the attention of the Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski, who

12
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.159
<v Speaker 1>have issued series of video and written press releases since

13
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 1>President Donald Trump made the announcement, insisting that Ukraine will

14
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>not see any of its territory to Russia for the

15
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.280
<v Speaker 1>purpose of peace or to end the war, emphasizing that

16
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:56.399
<v Speaker 1>it was because President Putin occupied part of ukraine territory

17
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>in the past and assembled its troops Ukrainian borders without

18
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.159
<v Speaker 1>preventive punishment made him to start full scale war with

19
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine since twenty twenty two, adding that the path to

20
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>piece for Ukraine must be determined together with Ukraine. This

21
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>is fundamental. It is important that joint approaches and a

22
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:20.719
<v Speaker 1>shared vision work toward genuine peace, a consolidated position, cease fire,

23
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 1>end of occupation, end of war. According to Trump, the

24
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 1>highly anticipated meeting between myself as President of the United

25
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 1>States of America and President Vladimir Putin of Russia will

26
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 1>take place next Friday, August fifteenth, twenty twenty five, in

27
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 1>the Great State of Alaska. Further details to follow. Thank

28
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.719
<v Speaker 1>you for your attention to this matter. Zelenski, in a

29
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.599
<v Speaker 1>series of press releases on Saturday, said, I have not

30
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>heard any partners express doubts about America's ability to ensure

31
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>that the war ends. The President of the United States

32
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 1>has the levers and the Determinationine has supported all of

33
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 1>President Trump's proposals, starting back in February. Cease fire, all

34
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>formats have been supported. What is needed now is not

35
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 1>a pause in the killings, but a real, lasting peace,

36
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.719
<v Speaker 1>not a cease fire sometime in the future, in months,

37
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.360
<v Speaker 1>but immediately. President Trump told me so, and I fully

38
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>support it. There must be a just end to the war,

39
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>and it is Russia that must end the war it

40
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.759
<v Speaker 1>started Ukraine and all partners share the same understanding of

41
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>the need for a cease fire, for an end to

42
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 1>the killings. There is only one actor opposing this, Puten.

43
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 1>His only card is the ability to kill, and he

44
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>is trying to sell the cessation of killings at the

45
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 1>highest possible price. It is important that this does not

46
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 1>mislead any one. Results are needed at the leader's level,

47
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:55.759
<v Speaker 1>dignified results, results that will save lives that the world

48
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 1>will value and for which it will be grateful to

49
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.840
<v Speaker 1>the leader who delivers them. Every One clearly sees Putin's tactics.

50
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.520
<v Speaker 1>He fears sanctions and is doing everything to bail on them.

51
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.479
<v Speaker 1>He wants to exchange a pause in the war in

52
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>the killings for the legalization of the occupation of our land.

53
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>He wants to get territorial spoils. For the second time,

54
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Putin was allowed to take Crimea and this led to

55
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:24.639
<v Speaker 1>the occupation in Duniesk and Luhansk regions. He received no

56
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>preventive punishment when he amassed a contingent on our borders.

57
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 1>This led to the full Nigeria Police Force has refuted

58
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>claims that its men man handled Sahara a reporter's publisher,

59
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Armiele Sir ware inside cell after the media personnel honored

60
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.080
<v Speaker 1>the invitation sent him from the Office of the Inspector

61
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>General of Police IGP over allegations of forgery and criminal

62
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>defamation of characters, with the police stating in a press

63
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.439
<v Speaker 1>release signed and made available after the detained media publisher

64
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 1>was released on Friday night that Sir Warey allegedly brought

65
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>bandages alongside other personal items when he came to the

66
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.080
<v Speaker 1>station to honour the police invitation and when the IGP

67
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 1>ordered internal investigation to ascertain if truly the media publisher

68
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 1>was tortured as claimed, Saware refused to allow medical personnel

69
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.199
<v Speaker 1>from the Nigeria Police Force checked the alleged injury on

70
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.920
<v Speaker 1>his hand he had claimed he suffered as a result

71
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>of the police personnel brutality while inside cell. Meanwhile, as

72
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 1>at the time Saware was released on Friday night, bandages

73
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 1>were still seen wrapped around one of his hands a

74
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 1>scene in the video while he was coming out from

75
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 1>the IGP Rapid Response Team IRT police detention facilities in Abuja.

76
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>As stated by Saware in the video. Shortly after his

77
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:48.399
<v Speaker 1>release from detention facilities at the IGP Rapid Response Team.

78
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 1>On Friday, Saware posted on his social media handles and

79
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>said that freedom is never given. It is not a

80
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 1>gift from the powerful, nor a token handed down by

81
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:03.600
<v Speaker 1>the oppressor. It must be seized with raw courage, with clarity,

82
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>and with collective will. Those who sit in power never

83
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.319
<v Speaker 1>give it up willingly. That's why we take it back,

84
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>because freedom is ours and we will fight until it

85
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:17.199
<v Speaker 1>is no longer a dream but a lived reality. Nigeria

87
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, and made available to the public, said the

88
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Nigeria Police Forces compelled to address and decisively correct the

89
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.399
<v Speaker 1>recent wave of disinformation being peddled in connection with the

90
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 1>lawful arrest and attention of mister on the Yale Saware,

91
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:40.040
<v Speaker 1>a figure known for manipulating public narratives and weaponizing propaganda

92
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.199
<v Speaker 1>to malign state institutions and their leadership, particularly the Office

93
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:48.279
<v Speaker 1>of the Inspector General of Police. Contrary to the falsehoods

94
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 1>being circulated, mister sir Ware was arrested based on credible,

95
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>corroborated allegations involving criminal offenses such as forgery, cyberstalking and

96
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:03.600
<v Speaker 1>other infractions. Currently under active investigation. The arrest was affected

97
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:07.480
<v Speaker 1>in full compliance with extant legal provisions and with strict

98
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:11.920
<v Speaker 1>adherents to constitutional safeguards, due process and the rights of

99
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:16.560
<v Speaker 1>the suspect. To be clear, mister Sirware was released on

100
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>bailwell within the forty eight hour constitutional window in accordance

101
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.319
<v Speaker 1>with the provisions of Section thirty five four of the

102
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety nine Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,

103
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.720
<v Speaker 1>as amended. He is fully aware of the nature of

104
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.839
<v Speaker 1>the allegations against him and has been duly informed of

105
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the charges. He is expected to appear before a court

106
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 1>of competent jurisdiction in the coming days to answer to

107
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:46.639
<v Speaker 1>the accusations in a lawful and transparent judicial process. Equally

108
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>false and grossly misleading is the narrative suggesting that mister

109
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Suware was tortured or subjected to any form of inhuman

110
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 1>or degrading treatment while in custody. The Nigeria Police Force

<v Speaker 1>handled on Thursday early Warning inside police cell by offices

114
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:16.199
<v Speaker 1>from the Inspector General of Police IGP Monitoring Unit after

115
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.519
<v Speaker 1>the journalist honored the invitation sent him from the office

116
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.839
<v Speaker 1>of the Inspector General of Police for a reason not stated,

117
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.720
<v Speaker 1>but the media personnel working with Omila Saware, in a

118
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>statement on Thursday made available through the verified personal social

119
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.959
<v Speaker 1>media handles of Saware, said that the police presented two

120
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>petitions against Sware over alleged forgery and defamation of character,

121
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:43.680
<v Speaker 1>adding that some police officers from the IGP Monitoring Unit

122
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>as early as six a m. On Thursday entered Soware

123
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:51.399
<v Speaker 1>cell at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja with alleged

124
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.800
<v Speaker 1>pretense to take the media publisher to court, but when

125
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.079
<v Speaker 1>the journalist demanded to see the charges against him, he

126
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 1>was allegedly handled roughly via a team of armed policemen.

127
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.959
<v Speaker 1>This barrister Addi andju Deji petitioned the President of Nigeria,

128
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Bola Ahmed Tanubu, demanding the immediate dismissal of the IGP

129
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:15.399
<v Speaker 1>Kyode Eggbetoken, for allegedly abusing his office by thus using

130
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:19.120
<v Speaker 1>his high ranking office in the Nigeria Police Force to

131
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:23.199
<v Speaker 1>settle personal scores. Although the Nigeria Police Force has not

132
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 1>reacted to these allegations, but the force in a press

133
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.959
<v Speaker 1>release on Thursday afternoon, apparently made statements in relation to

134
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.679
<v Speaker 1>the current matters involving the detained media publisher Omiyele Saware

135
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:38.759
<v Speaker 1>by insisting and stating in the press statement that the

136
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:42.639
<v Speaker 1>recent promotions in the Nigeria Police Force was based on

137
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:46.840
<v Speaker 1>merit and not selective, accusing an unnamed online platform of

138
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:51.039
<v Speaker 1>allegedly sponsoring deliberate falsehoods to tarnish the image of the force,

139
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:54.240
<v Speaker 1>while also calling on offices and men of the force

140
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>to desist from lobbying to get promoted, saying the IGP

141
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>has warned that any police person as court lobbying to

142
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>get promotion will be made to face disciplinary action. According

143
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>to the post published via Sware social media handles, the

144
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>media team of the publisher said this morning at six

145
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.799
<v Speaker 1>a m. A police team led by a Chief Superintendent

146
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:20.080
<v Speaker 1>of Police from the IGP Monitoring Unit forcibly gained entry

147
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>into omiena Sware cell at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja,

148
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.639
<v Speaker 1>claiming they were taking him to court. The team of

149
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>nine offices, including eight heavily armed personnel, handled Sirwar roughly

150
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>when he asked to see the charges and notify his lawyers,

151
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>breaking his arm in the process before taking him to

152
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.840
