1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: Dan Mitchins and US correspondent is with us. 2 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 2: Hello Dan, Hello Heather. 3 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: So when does what's what's what's Trump's deedline for when 4 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:08,399 Speaker 1: Hamas needs to disarm? 5 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 2: Well, I don't think he's actually given them a hard 6 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 2: deadline at this point. Right now. I think he's focused 7 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,479 Speaker 2: more on getting all the hostages, the remains of the 8 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 2: hostages back and you know, as you were mentioning there 9 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 2: in the in the in the world wires, we've got 10 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 2: I think four of them out of a total of 11 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 2: twenty eight that have been returned, and the id process 12 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: is going forward now. And all of the bodies arrived 13 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: at the facility with their hands and legs cuffed, so 14 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 2: the remains were held in refrigerators and they come with 15 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 2: numbers rather than names. So I think this could take 16 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 2: a little bit of time trying to sort out what 17 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 2: exactly happened. I mean, you had some that were blindfolded, 18 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: and there are signs of gunshop ones in some cases 19 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 2: others have been run over by tank so it's apparently 20 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 2: not a very pretty site. 21 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: What what do we think he plans to do to 22 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: them if they don't dissom. 23 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 2: Well, I mean that's what's interesting. Because he previously said 24 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: that we were not going to put you know, boots 25 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 2: on the ground there. So whether or not that means 26 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 2: more cuts for humanitarian aid, whether that means he goes 27 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 2: back in person and tries to hammer out a deal, 28 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 2: or he has somebody from the White House tried to 29 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: do that, it's really a head scratcher right now. I 30 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: think he's hoping that the pen is mightier than the 31 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 2: sword in this case. But we know it's easy. You're 32 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 2: not easy because it took so long to come to 33 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 2: where we are today. But I think the harder part 34 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 2: is going to be to see if we can actually 35 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 2: keep this peace process going. 36 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, very much. 37 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 2: So. 38 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: I see Charlie Kirk got the Presidential Middle of Freedom. 39 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: He did. 40 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: This was something the president had promised after Kirk was 41 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: fatally shot speaking to that crowd in Utah. And this 42 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: would have been his thirty second birthday, So this all 43 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 2: happened about a month ago. But he was awarded today 44 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: and his widow, Erica, accepted the award and she was 45 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: very emotional and she was whispering a lot of the time, 46 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: a lot of tears, as you might imagine. She talked 47 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 2: about her husband's life political beliefs and legacy. And after 48 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: that was done and the cameras were turned off, the 49 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 2: president went over to his parents and spent a few 50 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 2: minutes talking with them. So he's had a you know, 51 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: no matter what you think of President Trump, he's one 52 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 2: way or the other. He's had a very busy week, 53 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: you know, and here we are only Tuesday. 54 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and not to mention the fact that he also 55 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: blew up a boat of people coming from Venezuela. What 56 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: do people feel about this? 57 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: I think, well, I you know, it depends on who 58 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: you ask. Of course, if you ask the left, if 59 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: you ask Democrats, they're going to say this is a 60 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 2: violation of humanitarian rights. And if you ask Trumpers, they're 61 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 2: going to say, well, you know, these are people that 62 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: are are smuggling drugs, these are traffickers, these are unlawful 63 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: combatants who have to be met with military force. I mean, 64 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 2: that's what he said. And this is the fifth strike 65 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: that he's done in the in the Caribbean and in 66 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 2: our defense secretary he said that this has to happen. 67 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 2: I mean, he was sharing no bones about it. They 68 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: were sharing this video on x and it shows this 69 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: boat apparently stationary on the water. You get a few 70 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: seconds into the video and then it's stuck, struck from 71 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 2: by some projectile, some bomb from overhead, and it just 72 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: explodes like that and then it's floating of flames for 73 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 2: a few seconds. Yeah. 74 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: It's quite a thing, isn't it. Thank you, Dan, appreciate it. 75 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: Dan Mitchison, US correspondent.
