the i'm on east to thanks for joining us. the united states is promising what it calls a quote, very consequential response to a drone attack that killed 3 of its troops in jordan and wounded more than 40 others. us officials say the strike on sunday hit a military outpost known as tower 22 near the border with syria. it's the 1st time such an attack has killed american soldiers in the region since the start of the israel, him off for us president joe biden has blamed a wrong back militants, though a wrong denies being involved us defense search secretary lloyd austin, used to meeting with nato secretary general in arlington, virginia to give them the attack. good morning everybody. let me start with my outrage and sorry for the death of 3 brave us from sin,

jordan. and for the other troops when president and i will not tolerate attack on us forces. and we will take all necessary actions to defend the us and our troops. giorgio coffee euro is a us based risk consultant. i asked him what the us response to the drone attack could look like. right now in washington. there are many lawmakers, especially really the republicans who are trying to put pressure on the bite in administration to respond to by launching strikes against targets inside you on. that would be a very reckless way to handle the situation that would risk escalating the crisis in the middle east to an entirely new level. and for that reason, my view is, is a bite in administration. will probably not go that far. but i think we're going to

see dividing team decides to intensify us military strikes against groups, backed by iran in the region are chiefly in iraq, syria, in the i'm in um, as you said, the strikes inside iran would be unlikely, but we have actually heard reports that somebody around back fighters and syria are evacuating their posts. but basically an anticipation of us strikes. do you expect that washington could soon hit targets inside syria? it's inside syria. yes. definitely. um, it should also be noted that the israelis has been doing this for many, many years. i mean, i, i think of, you know, in recent years at least one or 2000 times or so these re lease has been doing it. i think we might start seeing the new west taking high, this type of action and intensifying, either use any strikes against iron, g c,

links and militias that are present in syria and also perhaps in other countries to let's talk more about the rules around here because the biden ministration said that this militia was backed by iran. but can you tell us more about what that means to be backed by iran? well, there's no denying that you're on sponsor is a whole host of militias. inside i, the rock syria and elsewhere you running, it just gives a farms money, training, political, moral support on. everyone realizes that, i think, where maybe some experts have disagreements where there's some debate is the extent to which officials into hall, and they have direct control over these groups. there were some people who argue that these groups you proxies and the running authorities have complete control over them. there are other people who say it's not quite that simple. busy and

these groups have some agency and they get bashing from iran, but it's not the case that every single time they do something in the region. it's because they received instructions from your on i think some groups, maybe it's appropriate to consider them iranian proxies. whereas others, i think it's a little more appropriate to consider them allies your partner's on the wrong, but not necessarily proxies. i think we have to look at each group on a case by case basis. giorgio capiro theo of gulf states analytics, thanks for joining us. thank you. in the united nations has begun an investigation into its agency for palestinian refugees known as on raw. the organization is under intense scrutiny after it is real, choose some of its staff of being involved in the october 7th and most hair attacks doesn't become a dozen countries, including major donors like the u. s. and germany have now put their funding on hold funding, which the u. n says is sustaining millions of palestinians this trickle of you in

the outlook for underlining the millions of people it serves not only and gaza but also in east jerusalem in the wet in the west bank. jordan 11 on and syria is very bleak. the united states was one of the 5th countries to suspend funding, but sees it could be restored depending on the you in pro, into the allegations. certainly we, we've not had the, we haven't had the ability to investigate themselves, but they are highly, highly credible. the same time as you indicated, henri has played and continues to play an absolutely indispensable role in trying to make sure that men, women and children who so desperately need assistance in gaza actually get it. you in is the biggest aid provider in gaza. in addition to food volta and medicine, it's facilities, a sheltering 1400000 people displaced by the financing. like in them and has some of them in the have

a deal. i'm also militants are still holding more than a 100 hostages and gaza after abducting them during the october 7th terror attack. human trials have begun in the us for you and most neural link brain implant, ship mosque said the 1st patient has already been implanted and is recovering well . these trips act as a brain computer interface and are intended to help people with lim, disability, or amputations control devices around the to look at that and you're like russian figure skater, camilla levi, has been in retroactively disqualified from the 2022 winter olympics for doping offenses russian team will be stripped of its gold metal and the us name champions instead. scalar tested positive for a band heart medication is prime minister georgia maloney is hosting an african summit aimed at boosting economic ties. and curbing migration to

submitted his official resignation. and as an, as a card carrying a team member would have had access to attend a, in the meetings and, and get the internal amc information. so the amc chose to take the stip off suspending him and in all likelihood he will end up being evicted or removed from the party in its entirety. i don't think that that's something that jacob's whom i will take issue with since he has already started campaigning for this new party. the quote do i see the party and the name is very closely associated with the a and see if that was the amc, the name of agencies on we. and it looks like of this part in the amc is likely to go into this coming election with the legal battle over its name. the agency sees the project doesn't have permission to use the name and that it's being very
