the, the, at least 10 people are killed in rob been done violence in ecuador because the president declares a state of internal armed conflict in the south american countries. non softer and ecuadorian tv studio was rated. now let's stop briefly taken hostage in the middle of a live broadcast. also a head on the program in jobs have more than a dozen people are killed in scores more wounded. this is really strikes again some of the southern most city are put off and we also hear this our from a palestinian during which to say's he was physically abused and the tension 5 be

it's really, really there systematic torture on a daily basis. they tortured me for 25 days. just city on my niece. 6, they always told you every day the conditions of the difficult but i was released the across the world around the clock. this is our t great to have your company for then use our we begin in south america. we're at least 10 people have been killed in a series of attacks by criminal groups across the ecuador president on the building . the boy was the care to quote, the state of internal arm conflicts in his country. unsafe as another tree is fighting norco to risk guns. the, the chaotic scenes here from the cities in ecuador showing

a glimpse of the violence on the streets. scores of casualties have been rushed to hospital is the middle ongoing gun fights in broad daylight by criminals at tuck and chicken up seemingly random people. the unrest erupt after a prominent drug cartel leader disappeared from the maximum security prison on the way in so many, one of the countries president, nicola has reportedly gone into hiding his policy. and the capital city has been a talk to a leader spokesman outlined the details of the presidents on compromising come on to eliminate the gun. and they get to the decrease as the following. the provide for the mobilization and intervention by the armed forces and national police across the country to guarantee sovereignty and territorial integrity against transnational crime and terrorist organizations and religion and non state actors in accordance with the provisions of this executive degree or yeah, a while in scenes that shocked the nation um beyond that group of on demand storm, the ecuadorian tv studio, which was broadcasting live,

stuff for tape and hostage for the chair, showed us an easy resting via sealants earlier dramatic images from this scene, which you might find distressing. depicted the news room employees being held that the guns pointed to the cameras cap rolling. as most men overrun the rooms for signature. unless the power on the floor, people were heard seating for their lives. shortly before the channels broadcast was taken by its own clear. if any of the employees were left injured and after being fried by police, emotional footage show would be warmer. hostages, being embraced by loved ones outside the building. some interiors, others, meaning time to pray for president. down the on the board came to power as a result of snow collections. just months ago, after parliament was dissolved in may the central risk put come by the drug violence science has main priority upon taking office,

but the killings have continued to soar. but i'll feel korea, who previously led ecuador for a decade, told r t. the incumbent leader in his view is on fit for the job on the name or not having been, we are in a state of internal arms, conflicts as organized. crime has declared war on the states and the states must use all legal force defined by of armed forces. a national police take to the streets, respond intelligently with full support using all available resources to defeat these criminal kindness, 7 years of destruction, hatred, and accumulated mistakes. the rule of law disappeared because of political persecution, and today we cry, bloody ts. they so the wins, and now they will reap the whirlwind. unfortunately, president about it has no experience, is completely unprepared for this job. but we must unconditionally supports them as

the country is engulfed in arms conflict, a well following the disappearance of cartel liter adult full must cs. notice vito from prison riots broke on at several other jails across the country. a number of guards were taken hostage by inmates. some other drug gun figures reportedly escaped and the details. and the use disturbing image is circulating on social media partly show gang members executing prison guards and the facility from which the car tow boss escaped. according to ecuador is penitentiary serve as a $125.00 security guards. more than a dozen administrative workers are being held hostage by prisoners and 5 jails across the country. all the carrying a state of emergency on monday, the president have this to say. i have given clear and precise instructions to the military and police chiefs to intervene in the control of the presence i have just signed a degree for a state of emergency. so that the,

all the forces have all the political legal supports in the actions. what we're seeing in the congress prison says the result of all decision to confront them. that is why the government has taken actions that it will allow us to regain control of the presence as in response. these now called service groups are trying to intimidate us and believe that we will give in to the months we will mostly go shared with the terrorist know will be arrest until we return peace to all echo dorians or well, that's discussed. the turmoil with ortiz fiorella is about here in this, you do get to see you figure out uh, quite startling crisis this, but ecuador has not exactly been a beacon of stability recently, either take us through how we reach the scenes witness today. well, as the former president, rafael korea mentioned unit, and this has been a long time coming, what you're seeing on your screens as

a result of just years of right wing us back. neo liberalism in my right. when i mean us backed us influence and ever since, of course, russell korea ended his term and was replaced by lenin moreno. what ended up happening was a bigger influence of the united states. ecuador had been the safest country in latin america, excuse me, the 2nd safest country and latin america, it had a very low prime rate. and since then, 7 years later, we've seen the complete opposite of that. and of course, this also was followed from marina to be or my last so which was the most recent president prior to no bo us and with your malott's. so he was a corrupt a 1000000 or banker who is actually accused of having so much corruption that he actually had to leave the presidency. now, when we're talking about this, the current criminals and what they've been doing, and the sort of narco contingent that's there, a lot of these arms and

a lot of these weapons had to come from the police. and this is a forwarding through news media and ecuador, and the former president as well. the weapons that were found used by these narco games were police related weapons that had actually gone missing. and since it's fits statistics, do show that ecuador had a homicide increase of over 500 percent. so that's about $5.00 homicides for every 1. 100000 people to 25.5 for every 100000 people. and that was as late as 2022. now it's worth noting if you recall that carouse government had protected julian assaults as a journalist when before she was removed from the presidency before he left the presidency. once he left the presidency, he was sort of betrayed. according to the believers of grace small by his successor lennon morano, who took the country into a more cosy relationship with the united states. and so when we talked about the c

i a, the, a, b, i, the us agencies that are present, we're talking about south com. in fact, multiple high level us officials did travel to ecuador, and less of himself was given a warm welcome at the white house in december. and on the eve of that visit us congress passed to us ecuador partnership act. now this whole act was very much focused on bringing democracy to ecuador, and in 2022 south palms. a lower richardson was present when the you, when equitable, received hundreds of thousands of dollars in military support from a 4 ecuador from the united states. so what we, yeah, did you want to say somebody just about the person who was seen on the screen and today after yesterday these acts done, you the boy, i think the, the incumbent president, few really he's talking very tough. mm hm. and apparently he's gone into hiding. the 1st i heard of him was just a number of months ago when he actually won the election. i didn't know of him as

a politician before that. can you tell us a little bit about him? of course. yeah, so daniel and noble is the son of the countries rich as old guard. now he's a billy there by nana tay cool. and she was educated in the most prestigious us schools were talking about the fact that he went and had a degree and but it has ministration from n y u. he got an m b, a from northwestern university. he also studied at harvard and he's 35 years old. he's largely in experience and he's really way in over his head. but he's also what i would say of the top. it's a sort of continuing what his father had one and his father wanted to be president and largely failed and he was actually born in miami. so he has this will washington base us a freaking. and he also got a masters in communication in strategic political communication, asked her to discover and from george washington university. so we're seeing a highly well educated in us politics figure that also immediately tried to

secure funds with the i a map. now i have to mention that eco doors that has increased massively in the last 14 years and going along with the boas policies. he's extremely anti russian. he's extremely, a figure that's been compared largely to argentina's my way. and he has been very much in favor of the status quote of u. s. foreign policy. so one would say that in the last 7 years, we've seen ecuador go from where it was in 2017 to now has been a very, very, very rapid succession into k off. and right now we also saw that the peruvian police deployed at special operations to reinforce its border with ecuador, it's a big border, isn't it? it's, it's a large order. so there's, for years of it perhaps spreading out. absolutely. yeah. so there's a lot going on there. and one of the things that ecuador shouldn't do, however,

is continue to see us aid. what they should be doing is largely trying to solve the problem themselves. by out seeing this, perhaps in regaining control, misses a war of the state and the prop norco gang, so the state needs to come in and actually uh, take things under control and that's certainly a powder keg situation. we'll continue to keep across a few early isabel taking us to read off your thank you and okay, so more analysis on this, we got from ecuador and academic fernando academy and mino who told us that the country's government has consistently failed to enforce security in the state to you as long as the length of it and what's the new and the, this is the most violent event in the history of ecuador. i would say that politically, there are at least 3 of us consequences for the 1st is that the 100 days given to new presidents have already ended. and in this case, the main counter wait is not the opposition of political parties, but rather criminal structures. this is an unprecedented case, and secondly,

the president's proposed holding a referendum during his election campaign. he sent out questions last week and now the situation has changed to people who from another tea issue has emerged in the possibility that people deprived of their freedom. mainly leaders could be sent to prison in other countries. that is the possibility of extradition. and then the 3rd is that it calls into question the ball was main security policy, which he calls the phoenix plan. this, as it does not bring positive results show this is a very strong political blow for the president and national political structures as a whole. instead of a rigid approach of a smarter one is needed, in my opinion, this is a very serious issue because politic and firstly, there is no clearly defines of government institution that wouldn't develop security policy. for example, there used to be a ministry of government and

a ministry of internal affairs. now they're united, but we do not know which of them is responsible for what they both exist. but there was only one minister who was responsible for both. yes, i think what all this means is that the public sector, which is not the military or the police, is smaller and therefore unable to determine policy and therefore confront these kinds of problems to people. yeah, and we will of course, continue to bring you the latest from echo drawer on there and on the line, our website r t dot com has more details about the shocking tvs to do hostage prices as well as a government. don't go in your efforts, the cracks are not going violence in the law to the american country. all right, that brings us on to another. but headlight stories goes that for at least 15 people have reportedly been killed and dozens more wounded. now is that really strikes hit the enclaves, southern most city, rough overnight? video circulating online shows the scale of the destruction. people scramble to

pull victims from the rubble and apartment building which hosted displaced, palestinians was kept the southern part of the strip post being the focus of increasing is really heavy bombardment. despite most of gals as population, having being moved to that area with scores of wounded son dead, including many children of being taken to the queue way to hospital seeing here. the palestinian health ministry stays the enclave. total depth total and the conflict has risen to over $23000.00 people. highlighting that 70 percent of the victims are women. children, journalist tons of children, reports from rough yesterday around 11 p. m. and is to i targeted a residential house specifically to apartment belongs to uh, that belongs to lots of the family. and we witnessed the arrival of tim casualties here at our community hospital. and the other 5 casualties arrived uh after

the use of imaginary on the job hospital, all sort of city look for lot, far away from here. and there's thousands of injuries as well. these are family was shifting inside this as the tim apartment found, many of these palestinians are actually forced to go there and show to the inside of the dangerous area. for example, it was very, very quiet. and yesterday it was empty uh of the sky was empty. alt drones. uh the, uh, is there any war planes box suddenly around 11 p. m, as i told you, i'm in there. so i targeted this residential apartment. it's 10 to a bloody a day. so we will just doing that's reporting from the war toward and k of can be

a deadly endeavor in itself. according to the committee to protect journalists and g. o. 79 media workers. how been confirmed killed in gas a since october 7th, at least 30 to tell us the name journalists have also been arrested during that period by the id of the director of the new art of press office in gals who was recently released, chaired, but he said, he injured during his detention. i had an adjustment on the display even though i was arrested by these rarely ami from my family home and by law here. they did not charge me with anything but i was held for the 3 days in prison. i think it was the prison now that kept them so long crossing. there are thousands of prisoners that they use. rarely shouldn't, that told us they have arrested 20000 prisoners. the conditions aside a very difficult the detainees in prison. all various cats, they are being tortured, tragic circumstances. the red cross told us that from october the 7th they've been unable to reach the posting of prisoners. all the detainees hoped to be released. i

was released at 3 am headed down i arrived at the posting out of crossing were held in the shackles to provide the movements and who it was put all the l i. so we could not see anything 24 hours, but time is from 11 pm to 4 am. they gave us screwed, but it was bad. other than tools and everyday life of the situation inside the prison is very difficult. there is systematic torture on a daily basis. they told us with me for 25 days just sitting on my knees. 16 hours tortured every day. the conditions of the difficult. but i was really also a little developments from another southern gallon and city where at least 13 civilians have reportedly been killed in con eunice in the past 24 hours. several of the sites there were targeted in bombing raids by the idea of local media mosque and several residential homes were turned into rubble in the southern and eastern

parts of the city. well, military drones attract, displaced by less than in sheltering inside u. n. affiliated schools, canadian palestinian journalist monster schuman, he's been reporting extensively for r t, from gas, as since the start at the war, you may have seen some of his reports, not. he's not discovered his facebook account, which he uses to share his work, has been suspended. monster gave us his reaction, a good post, the 3 or 4 times a day together with them on 6 or 7, all the different social media platforms updates. hear from us about what's happening sometimes 1st in those pictures. so sometimes videos of the mediterranean work that you have doing here. uh, sometimes it just updates uh, providing use the people about um about the latest self, what's happening on the grounds. and then yesterday i was, i wanted to post them on an interview with us. i have with the those put in

both testing, coughing, gbc, talking about the they're all over a 100011 june. that is see and laza. and while i clicked polls, it said that my account was suspended for 24 hours. you to really sick this content i heard that you know, a lot of other social media and so what's the result the father joined that is true and also complain about them. accounts being shadow bands being disconnected, being close down. um i had a couple of tick tock accounts, that's where shut down my have to goes stop over. that is to get i've also got the balls. i know how to do work on it again. and so these things do happens, and unfortunately it shows us nobody. i'm a chief of the so called the 3 worlds. are you concerned that if you keep reporting on social media, that you will be suspended again, perhaps indefinitely. and what is your plan for how to deal with this problem as

you say that many of your other social media accounts like take talking in spam, have. busy so been suspended in the past, it says it's a bit unfortunate multicultural forces us to be more creative, to find other solutions and ways to get the truth out. so we need to create the back of accounts and let the follow as know about about them just in case that gets the band or cancer or whatever. so there would always be challenges. what is showing that we would always overcome them one way or another, as well as ground fighting intensifies in southern guns. these really army has confirmed that 9 more of its soldiers have been killed. the total number of idea of loss is no stands a 187 trips since the is really impatient begun in late october on tuesday is real confirmed that one of its tons accidentally kills 6 soldiers in a friendly fire incident. they might not compete with them if the doing the operation off to see,

to destroy the crowns infrastructure of the weapons production plans, unexposed. and what's caused by the firing over tank was detected and, and let me talk it through the fields. apparently the talk cell impacts resulted in the explosion of a nearby electric poll doing 6 an injury. 14 idea of soldiers. with something else of note, israel has reportedly instructed his hospitals to prepare for a new influx of casualties that made increasingly deadly strikes across the border with lebanon. the warning columns as the idea of sage that killed one of cuz the last senior commanders during a strike on 11 on tuesday, the militant group has denied the claim a day before the so another cause blocked him under was confirmed, killed. these are images of his huge funeral procession. has ballasa, he said targeted is really come on base in retaliation. since october it's real safe. it's bombardments, have killed at least $130.00 militants and 11 on another 90 across the border

series. well pay route based journalist smolik colored saves is really reports of heads, black casualties, and $11.00 on there's somewhat contradictory. uh well this is a, uh, the news coming from the east side were pointing about the targeting. and cuz the local vendor was which was the commons at all the unfortunate ones. it was that runs it off the drones unit. and the latest thing was what made it to the sports person. uh then you had got a lot of people from getting someone who is trained to be the one to dispose of it for the georgia unit, but she had mistaken the name and we haven't been meeting just some things from this or you decide doing the whole day since the beginning of the morning and been hospitalized. the ninety's a claim saying that the, the, the, the storage unit is not on the oh through the day they would forge how's the last

items that's good to buy? that is where the muscles and the photos that were none of them was a nose. indeed it hello the, the one the, the who was on monday, who was also a huge is announced by has with lots of the agent. so basically it has one method denies or hides the fact that i often commanders with kim, this is really confusion, comes up to as little as targeted the northern leadership headquarters in so far using tools. and that's why the x rays are starting to show the audience and to show that americans and to show the work that we are in a month. and we know what you are doing and we have this service. you can accuse the board when we need to add someone or to target someone suffers the loss. but this is not the case. is really president is that occurred?

so of house calls south africa is appealed to the international court of justice, quotes atrocious, preposterous. it relates to per tory, is filing of a case, a choosing israel, of cardiology to an operation who genocidal in character against ghost. on thursday, april saving one, start in the international court of justice and a while by the south africa. as soon as the israel fall, supposedly genocide does nothing more atrocious and preposterous than this flame. so about, forget, filed its legal objection with the un international court of justice in december. you urging the court to take measures over the is really on small. the 1st hearing is expected on thursday. the organization for as long as the cooperation comprising of more than 50 countries as part of the lawsuit against israel. trip to malaysia on the left in the american state of bolivia, also express support for the policy to me and the world of furs. i'm always from

south africa talk this that cooperation among the global side. it's strengthening, coming up the same time as the west response to ongoing attacks against garza has been locking, believe it or to solve countries believe in the right of human rights and the richard resistance of palestinian people and the people off of the world. and part of the cost with all believe us fight is solidified that a many international actors had a case by piece of africa way they banded together to fight a very fruitful and a repressive regime at an international level. putting this on a day or 2 with a civic against the country of the mexico and part of the pulse of the, of the country such as, believe us of africa and the rest of the global. so why they see it suddenly believe this actually is to increase is the lack of response. while bye was inactive, lack of a compassion and some integrity with the over 24000 feet through us with billions. that'd be good to the master code was in there has

a strip for 2 dog with missing. foreign policy is big, especially the punch vacation around human rights has been gone and has been seen as contradictory and this and see that's what critical and we look at the human rest of trustees, county being funded by the us in incident with an actors, especially on the issue of israel for this day, and therefore stage national communities, especially some of africa, realizing that israel funded and supplied onto the updates and she in south africa, has decided to take up on this action to ensure that some full international accountability on the international arena and not the that the, the lives in the level of policies remain up in and so say can let's turn attention now in the program to germany where a citizens face train cancellations across the country as an ongoing, real way workers strikeouts to travel tails with protest by farmers already hindering road traffic in berlin, dozens of tractors have been blasting their horns and blocking the city's main

surfers. it's in response to the government's decision to slash fuel subsidies to farmers and truckers as politicians. 6 apache, a 17000000 euro budget. yeah. that's despite the mazda of sums that berlin is dishing out to you. chris and the people angered silver. the german cellular succession on the opposite of the expense of knowledge of this comes free is own economy restrictions. i don't job, i talk just as significant as the german contribution is. it will not be enough to insure your queen security in the long run for discipline. so therefore, i call on our allies in the european union to step up their support for ukraine by the plans weapons deliveries to ukraine for most to you. members, states are not enough. but what's interesting there is schultz just doubled the military aid that was committed by germany to ukraine, right at the end of the year last year. and well,

the message that we're hearing here from these protesters, these farmers, is that the government is just rife with mismanagement. yeah, i think that this movie thought on about the green realities does expenses have risen to a level that makes it difficult for many palms to survive. those fonts determined to continue old for, right, so you must prepare for find that show ruin. we must stop the governing call issues plots for each side on the was an issue on pete on to i'm the federal government's proposal to compensate for its financial shortcomings by cutting agricultural investments is outrageous. this has left farmers feeling extremely angry. we demand the withdrawal of these proposal plans do both of the farmers have to ensure there is food for the population, but it's been made so difficult for them now with these cuts, the best scraping bias, subsistence level, and that work is no longer economically viable. and you end up with a situation where a 1000000000 euros for ukraine. that's right. now what the government is committed

to supporting ukraine? well, what about the money that these guys could use to maintain the subsidies to help them offset the high, very high cost of production as a result of energy exploding because of the mismanagement of those policies. so what these guys are saying is that those feel subsidies amount to a lot in terms of their annual revenues. one farmer said 10000 euro. is that? what is what it represents for them? and that also gives you bit of an idea of the scale, the magnitude of revenues that, that they are dealing with when they're saying that $10000.00 euros of revenue a year that those subsidies represent on diesel that were just cut that, that, that puts them in to make or break situation and yet you think they're just rolling and luxury, or least that's what it sounds like when governments.
