A gunfire was heard in lebanon's capital this morning, marking the start of the israel .

lebanon ceasefire. The deal aims to end the fighting across the israeli lebanese border that has killed thousands of people since I was ignited by the war. Gaz, last year, IT was brokered by the U. S. And france and announced by president .

biden for more on the deal, were joined now by mp. Laun fye in sight in southern levon as a lot, and people were celebrate the fire in barea, all the scene. Like.

yeah, I was going to set my alarm for A M. Turns out I didn't need to. I was awoken by this celebratory gunfire erupting across the city, sort of mixed with the dawn call to prayer from mosques across the city.

Dog started howling into the night, even before the first light of vacation started heading south to try to see if their homes are still there. I'm on the coastal highway. There are minivans packed with families, belongings tide on car roof, people blasting music, beeing their horns, cheering.

A Young boy knocked on my car window and handed me a poster of husson. This rolla has bolo leader who was killed in an israeli air strike in late september. So the mood is definitely festive here, but a lot of these people may find that they don't have homes standing anymore.

Have you been able to talk to people the way I me? How are they? I mean, at least Scotto feel like a relief of some kind.

Here's one woman I spoke with. Her name is Patricia talib. She's twenty four. SHE had stopped on the shoulder of the highway to let one of her children p on the side of the road.

They're from a village in the south that saw fierce ground battles, and the israeli military warned people not to return to some of these areas because israeli troops are still there. They are in retreat, but they are still in this country. And I asked petri a if she's worried about finding is soldiers you know, in her house .

to begin with, people weren't are not really a intimidated by the entity. We know that this is the end days of the war, and we know that ultimately it's going to be okay. We personally, we stayed for the first week of the, so we didn't really want to leave our village to begin with. This was only because we were in the way of the resistance that we actually ended a leaving her village.

You can hear her kids there in the background when he says.

resistance SHE means has bola fighters. Now, I know it's new, but can you fill the details with this agreement?

yes. So this is a sixty day truth, which would take us up to Donald trump s. inauguration.

Incidentally, during which israel withdraws its ground troops from lebanon, IT holds air strikes in in turn, hezbollah ves its fighters and weapons north of the latini river that's about twenty miles away from the israeli border. The lebanese army is deploying down into southern lebanon alongside U. N.

Peacekeepers who are already here, and an international committee will be monitoring implementation of this. As for whether this is holding IT apparently seems to be so far. There was one incident in which israeli military says IT identified what IT says where hezbollah Operates. Returning to areas near the border, IT opened fire on them that doesn't appear to have kicked off anything Whiter.

Now many the targets of israeli strikes in lebanon were either in the nation's south or in and around the root. What's the scale of recovery? yeah. I mean.

parts of lebanon, on particularly in the south and by root, southern suburbs, look like gaza. They've been completely destroyed. This is orders of magnitude compared to the last war here in two thousand and six.

And IT will take years, perhaps even decades, to rebuild. I'm inside in an ancient port city on the meditation, ian. And this is sort of the boundary of southern lebanon on so people, the mood has been very jubilant here as people heads out and celebrate the ceasefire. But I suspect the mood will really change going south from here.

Now, the ceasefire aims to put an end of husband of militant attacks on israel, which have displaced tens of thousands of people in the nation north. What's the situation after them?

So israel is still not calling on its residents to return to their abandoned homes in the north of that country. Officials there say there will be a one to two month period of rebuilding before they initiate that return. It's worth mentioning, many mayors inside is very particular along that opposed the ceasefire, one called IT, a shameful agreement. They have real security concerns, not only the fear of a resumption of hezbollah cat attacks, but also A A possible october seventh like attack.

Pr, Lawrence freer, Lawrence, thanks.

You're welcome.

Security forces disperse protesters in the capital of pakistan .

overnight that they marched to islam to demand the release of the jail former prime minister in iran. Kon, hundreds of protesters have been .

rest in sunday with me. Now is in paris, dia head, which covers pakistan from her base in mumba. Good morning, a good morning.

rob.

So bring us up to video, what happened with these protests and where do things stand.

right? While t protesters had reached downtown islamabad, they defied tear gas and climbed over shipping containers to get there. There was also violent.

Six people were killed on tuesday, including four security personnel. Joel, as covering the march, said. Protesters also attacked them, including an associated press camera man who was taken to hospital.

And once protesters had made IT to the city center, they announced a city in until the former prime minister rankin is released. But overnight, paramilitary forces pushed them out. Video shared by con supporters showed smoke, flashing lights, people running, the sound of guns firing.

I spoke to a Young woman who was there. SHE requested anonymity. She's worried about being detained, identified because there's being crackdowns on can't supporters.

You could see tear gas. And I was just a lot, of course, I was between the crowd at that time. My dad and I saw a body fall in front of us when the firing started. IT was all pish dark, but I could hear bullets being short at people.

Wa, that sounds terrifying.

yeah. K's media teams say dozens of people were injured and another two people were killed. And following that crackdown, kant called off the protest for now, and the governments interpreted that as a Victory for them. The information minister even told local media that protesters are like cow wards. He said the'd even left their shoes behind.

So that sounds like the government is taking a very tough line in all this. What can we expect in the coming days?

Well, the coming days may well reflect what we've seen in the past eighteen months since in rang han was jailed, a cycle of increasingly violent encounters. I spoke to Michael google man. He is the director of the south asia institute, the wills and senta, and he says this violence reflects a crisis of legitimacy. At the very top.

you have a critical math of the public that has essentially lost confidence in public institutions, and that includes the army.

It's important tonight. The army is pakistan's most powerful institution. IT was largely sacrosanct among pakistani's, and that's change. Now many of con supporters see the army is having redelegations is february to propel this current government to power. So for now, it's an intractable crisis, the army against khan and his supporters. And now that theyve deployed against civilians in the capital, which is quite unusual in pakistan, IT could happen again because nothing is actually been resolved.

But for now, the protests have been dispersed.

right? Yeah, the government says lice returning to Normal cars are on the road where the crackdown happened. It's unclear what protesters will do next.

Two people I spoke to said they were angry at their protest leaders because they appeared to have fled as a crackdown began. That includes k's wife, wisha. B, B.

Journey appears in a White gown in a face. Fail presents itself as a spiritual gou. Now the government's playing on that anger, one minister told local media that these events .

were the fault of one woman that P.

S, D. Dear, thank you.

President ec, Donald trump is threatening a twenty five percent year on goods from canada and mexico, an extra ten percent terf maybe put on items from china.

According to trump, those nations are not doing enough to stop undocumented migrants or fenno from crossing into the us. While the rest of migrants have been on the rise at the northern border, they're fraction of those at the southern border where comprehensions are at a four year low.

Mp brian man covers a venal crisis. Joins is not to take a look at trumps promise now, brian, it's a social media post right now now policy quite yet. But what has done to trust, say he hopes to accomplish with this thread yeah.

you're write. It's not clear trumps going to follow through on this. He doesn't take office for a couple months. A lot of negotiations are going to happen before then.

What truth said in social media post monday is that these countries aren't doing enough to solve what he describes as two of the biggest problems hitting the us. Illegal immigration and file, which is still killing tens of thousands of people every year. According to trump, canada, china and mexico could collectively easily solve these problems. He added that once imposed, these terrifying would remain in place until drugs, including fetal and illegal aliens, as are his words, stop this invasion of our country.

But could china and mexico really just shut down? But no, smugly just like that.

Yeah, experts I talked to say, no, it's just not possible. JoNathan calkins and drug policy expert at carnegie mellon's university says that is just really easy to make and smuggle.

Unfortunately, it's quite difficult to control function because it's so easy for the illegal supply chains to produce and distributed.

Funda fell back. Brown is a drug policy expert of the broken and institution, and he agrees what trump is demanding here and just is going to happen.

That is uneasy to go. No country will accomplish that.

What experts says the best case scenario is the trumps threats here, prompting negotiations that maybe lead to Better CoOperation on migrants and final with more realistic goals. I'm sure they're .

all going to be talking at some point. So how are these countries responding so far?

Well, first, it's important to say most federal does enter the us. From mexico, typically passing through official border crossing. Mexico president coddy shang bomb responded by saying yesterday that was primarily A U.

S. Problem, one that requires a health care and treatment response, he says, to reduce addiction. That's been mexico's position for years. He also suggested us terabits linked to fetch could trigger a full blown trade war. One other concern i'm hearing from drug policy experts is that a trade fight could unravel what has been growing international CoOperation targeting drug traffickers. Again, here is want to fill bm Brown at bookings .

that A S chinese officials have told me that the company tics CoOperation would not be able to survive an imposition of substantial active.

So if this power move by trump doesn't work, we could see china and mexico backing away from intelligence sharing and other CoOperation with the U. S. Law enforcement that could mean less pressure on these gangs that are smuggling. Final.

no brand. You've been reporting that the federal crisis has been easing in recent months with the lock, fewer people dying. So what has done trumpy about that?

Trump hasn't actually acknowledging that progress. Writing on social media, he said, we're still seeing drugs coming across the border, and i'm quoting here at levels never seen before. In fact, there has been a huge positive shift over the last twelve months. Fatal overdoses, including federal, are dropping fast, about sixteen thousand fewer deaths. Most experts I talk to you credit Better health care and treatment, and they worry that trumps threat here of an international drug and trade war could be a distraction, pulling focus away from a public health response that appears to be helping.

So let's brought in the scope. And of these countries cannot meet, Donald romps, big demands on final and migrants. I mean, how could a terror then play out for workers and consumers? Here in the us.

the most economists agree tariff s basically work as attacks on goods. This kind of trade fight could boost Prices for american consumers at a time when inflation is still a problem. More broadly, we're talking about what could be a messy trade conflict disrupting simultaneously between the us. And three countries that are all deeply and retrained with american companies in their supply chains. So if truth does pull the triggers on these terrorists, the disruption could be enormous.

That's pr addiction. Corresponded brian. Man, brian, thanks.

Thank you.
