[000:00:00;00] the the on the low part of the us. yes. again, strikes the government's capital. just our talk to you when you're to council. c meeting on friday's initial attack. and then denise a box of solidarity with out of time off, over $100.00 days of war and got that taken off protests around the globe to mont is route and divide. and also it has the us state department to confirm the death of a chill in american john lives in ukraine with my father saying he was tortured to death in prison. no, but his criticism of president and the poles have closed and counting is on the way in taiwan. and what could prove

a pivotal place the result to address the routing part is counter that is leading the right the needs towards the might not, this is all attempts national for myself, the whole team here at our h q a very welcome to the program. but let's start off with some breaking news from yemen. washington has confirmed the u. s. military conducted and not the strike on the nation's capital of sauna, or the strike was conducted by the us us carney. he's in tomahawk lunch, but talk me solves and was a follow on action on a specific military target associated with strikes taken on january 12th, designed to degrade the who, the stability to attract maritime vessels, including commercial vessels. as in the nightstands, i knew he has conducted the edits that icons and i at both id. let me it'd base an

order phillips, and i mean, we headed the lot of get explosion. assume that a to the one had been there yesterday. and as the united states, as the ad declare to deal with, they say that they have actually targets induced and uh, they said me side at a does instead of defense this exactly what the united states has been doing throughout the history. many has make it clear that the retaliation against the united states, it will come and it will come on. they will actually had a united states new. okay. and they should not expect attack on bought the ship ice . i think after this 2nd, the attack on the m and you have any photos as they wouldn't be before. maybe they will be starting to get in united states and you as to commodities ship because yeah, my now is on that. i thought for them the united states is the united states actually, who would support in a is it i in the genocide against the policy and i am, i need the month on the request is to allow food and medicine and to lift the

relocate guns because they are going to do so this will get the money out of his book. but does it have said yesterday that i talk, i guess is that any shit? is it a link table, any ship that is headed towards, is it a, it falls or related to is it i by any way, they will still continue and they will come on. but at that, in the 1st round of west and strikes on thousands of minutes, the sites across the island were launched early on friday from we'll play as one of the ships on supper readings in the red sea. the us and u. k. have called it a necessary response to recent attacks by who's the scientists on commercial shipping. that's while the group itself said it's read, see a tax with a show of solidarity with the palestinian people. i will only stop when as well, and i'll see and few of age and took off the strikes by the west and co dash until 5 rebels and wounded 6 more. so you pay, defend to the attack,

saying it took pace to quote and leave the tension. all right, and it's very clear, it's to de escalate tensions and to restore stability to the region. and that's why allies, over the policy weeks of issued several statements, a combination of what's happening, courting on the duties to desist. but is it actually about restoring stability? it seems the who cd does on so show they have instead promised washington london, a swift response of the criminal aggression against our here many people will not go unanswered and unpunished. this brutal aggression will not deter again and from its supportive position would be wrong to palestinian people in the new round of strikes came just hours off to a un security council emergency meeting closed by moscow. the russian and boss of the claim to be a tax where a new phase of western minute trip question a gave them at least under clear violation of international

a zillow is easiest to so the white house has stated that it resolves the rights, the resume, military action shouldn't receive any new threats. you don't need to be a clairvoyant to understand that the us will perceive these threats and determine it's response to the mom to try really without the slight disregard for international law. the right to self defense cannot be invoked in order to ensure freedom of navigation. our american colleagues are well aware of this. this is yet more military aggression by the collective west, the latest and a long line of raids on the suffering middle east. the pseudo legal justification give them by the white house does not stand up to any criticism. while the un security council, the 15 member body that leads the united nations net to discuss the recent us attack on yeah, the united kingdom also invoke. busy the in that attack and after meeting the united kingdom and the united states said that their action was justified because

they had to protect the red sea. they had to stop the block case that has been put up by the who the forces in yeah, the attacks by hutus on vessels and the red sea must stop. we have made this clear to the who cheese and we call on them to de escalate. the united kingdom is committed to continue working with the international community and this council to come back this international threat. the strikes were necessary and they were proportionate, as you just heard from my u. k. colleagues. they were consistent with international law and an exercise of the united states inherent right to self defense, as reflected by article 51 of the un charter. and they were taken only after non military options, proved inadequate to address the threat. still, any strikes of this nature is a decision. the united states does not take lightly,

as she said, she didn't take the decision lightly. but it's been pointed out that from the beginning the united states was threatening, military force was not offering to negotiate with the forces, etc, but whose days have been saying that all they are asking in exchange for this, you know, opening up with the red. see israel stop bombing garza, but that is something that despite the global prize for a ceasefire, the united states is simply not open to even discussing. they have gone to robert streamlined, to edit and un security council resolutions, and make sure that no criticism of israel's actions is ever included. this is what the russian ambassador and of damage the i had to say before the council for that of use of those 2 time after time, instead of addressing the root causes of instability and throwing in its lots with a political solution to the problem. the west chooses to rely on for us. we have ones that we cannot trust the assurances of west and delegations about the supposedly good intentions they intended from. the outsets provided walks

interpretation of the vague wording of the resolution and an attempt to lend legitimacy to the criminal actions. anticipating the risk of this scenario, arising, we propose balancing amendments to the text that would have made it possible to avoid this. unfortunately, the majority of the council members liked the result necessary to support proposal, the outrage that the united states and his proxies documents in yemen may result in not only a fully fledged war in this country, but a conflict that can spread around the world. since there was a resolution passed by the un security council that russia of some days on voting for as did mozambique and china 11 countries voted for it, they simply condemned what the things were doing and defended for freedom of navigation during the maritime trade route. never gave any authorization to the united states and the united kingdom to carry out strikes. but it was that resolution that the usa and the united kingdom used to say, gave them a legal justification for carrying out these strikes. now,

they also in both the right of self defense under the un charter. but as the russian ambassador pointed out, that right of self defense applies to an attack on one's country, not simply the blocking of trade routes or maritime trade routes. freedom of navigation, it does not uh simply, you know, from it a country to attack another country because the flow of ships has been interfered. a complete distortion of what the united nations charter actually says. and it is worth noting that not only that, who the forces in yemen, but also a number of forces throughout the region, militias in iraq, has the law and other forces have talked of now retaliated against us forces. there are u. s. military bases in syria, in iraq, they are us warships in the mediterranean and elsewhere. and it is understood that those ships could now be a target of the forces and other forces throughout the region. so the dangerous implications of this, you as move which the russian and pastor pointed out,

did not in any way have legal ation. under un resolutions or the un charter was something that russia emphasized in the meeting. there could be serious consequences for the entire global community as a result of this funeral lateral action taken by the united states. and the united kingdom. meanwhile, demonstrates as a new york blog post avenue, that's right next to the united nations casa, they showed the support for the victims of that joint american to talk on. yeah, man and demanded an immediate stop to strikes me while i open the ebony capital demonstrations will also help protest his voice, the fury and pulled for an immediate end to west. and the question against the country of the cities was across the nation also. so huge protests with locals claiming the strikes heatherly re, a fund that commitment to palestine radiance gathered in front of the british embassy in toronto, condemned the u. k. and us bombing campaign with all the details,

his all ease ease of july, and they're wanting this. i've gathered outside the british embassy into long to condemn the okay and us this friday attack against several. you have any cities, that's a total. we can the who with these defense capabilities, of course, washington said this twice for an act of self defense in response to unprecedented lucy attacks against international maritime vessels and the red sea. this, as you have many officials, the attacks are on justifiable because human has not working international shipping in the red sea. and that the only target is really ships are ships to move towards the occupied palestinian port space on shortly after the coupon. we acted strongly by calling it a clear violation of human is territorial integrity and international laws outside of the attention, only fuel and security and instability in the region. these people now have a code, their warranty and government's remark,

saying that the measure clearly shows that the washington fully supports as well. and it's for ongoing. so they say the operation will not stop the resistance forces from supporting palestinians. and the ongoing is where the war on gaza. this is won't be lucy's. also made clear today. they said on this part attack that targeted their arms arsenal. their military power has not been effected and that they will continue to seize or attack is rarely bound ships and solidarity with the guys and people over the course of the conflict tillman has launched multiple missile and jerome strikes against israel, and he was stripped. and as i'm impounded is really length vessels, all st. packing. very time ship run through this for teacher x ray to mop on monday, which is a passage wait for more than 10 percent of the world's c transit. so these people behind me now was your support for the who these, for raising their quotes. courageous stands against the western bullies. they say

they called on force on resistance. sooner. jose's do as well on the rocky minister as to retaliate are the us and you case actions and do not let this flags on. yeah, man, go on answer. we're here to express our support for the resistance front and condemned the recent sections of the us and u. k tool was human with them on their embassies and the embassies of all those involved. and the recent attacks are coast across the stomach stays the resistance . excess today is not limited to around. it extends from the red sea to the mediterranean, encompassing groups from the evans. i'm so i'll, so it has the 11 on we are united in our stands against the us and israel and will strongly retaliates against them a level and actions. the u. k. a bloodthirsty and cunning nation should realize that its speeds will be few tile and eventually back via the many people have always been actively involved today with this approach to send the meal in person scale, whether you have any populace,

they ever ready to defend their dignity. families and homeland encompassing everyone from main funds to the elderly, fullness of the full make us republican state senate. so rich and black bleeds. the current policy is coming out of the white house. whenever you see the middle east square move hostile to the collective west, i think it's very important to understand that the find it ministration has been remarkably blood thirsty and an error again is in everything they've done across the globe. the leaders of our foreign policy now are rather rather crude. just simply blood thirsty, very arrogant people. and what's happening is that the middle east is beginning to your 9th against the west. and you see this with the around the beginning to link up with saudi arabia and with the turkey. turkey has one of the largest most

powerful armies on earth. and the people in turkey are very stirred up about this. so you just see this rising off of the middle east, and it's largely due to the incompetence of, uh, of the, by the administration. you know, if there is a surprising amount of discord within the us political system over this, what has happened is that divide administration has just insisted on going to war with every body that they can find were threatening war with china were threatening more with the rush or more with it ran more with everybody. the american people are growing very weary of this incessant war. and these, you know, were different than most countries we're insulated by 5 or 6000 miles of,

of open sea. there is no threat to us except the one coming across that the southern border from mexico, mexico is our greatest rest is not china. it's not roger. it is mexico of. busy phones and, and you divide administration won't defend order with mexico is, is quite bizarre and i think americans are very frustrated. they, the government that we have now is, you know, it's the, the most incompetent one of my entire life. and i've seen some do is, i mean, i've seen some governments that you, you, you were not brag much about, but this one, this one really sets a new standard for low cities around the world are gearing up for demonstrations of solidarity with kind of starting us the role in gaza and to is it's $100.00 day and the innovation capital of just call to crowds have already taken to the streets of

correspondents in the region sent this report. a c, y are now free policy. those are the master says that the protest, let's keep on saying during the pro power plant. this saturday morning inc, florida, thousands of for testers have gathered in front of the american apples, he since 530 this morning. they show solidarity as to ford. for the 1st time in 2020 as they can see they are reading these maya prevented the also we're black and white and the traditional

rather than the sisterhood from this day off the actual marketing, the 100 or between wire for minute understand this is for humanities and for my consciousness, because palestine remains under occupation by israel, this doesn't sit well with me because the palestinians are muslims. after all, it has already been a 100 days. when will this end? the victims are not only mothers, but also children, even toddlers. nobody's safe. we cannot accept this because the i came with my 2 children, i want to teach them the meaning of humanity by showing sold the deputy with 5 as 9 also because the biggest victims in this will all the children by carry that feeling with me. this is a very painful feeding to the children we love care of allison race, full victims to the bomb parity of these radio. ok,

patient prayers are being delivered or the impala side as well as the warner on the on the sofa leaves and do so. to calls for an hour from now to gone. so what is really bombardments continued throughout the night, killing thousands of civilians all across the enclaves, including as, as a women and children. the south has been the main focus of the idea of operations recently and video shows, mass destruction open areas that not long ago, had been deemed

a safe. so move in to 1000000 palestinians and now struggling to survive that. well, let's have a look back in october. the us v towed a un security council resolution on humanitarian pulls is the blood shed continued until the end of november. because that's when a truce between as well on time off payment to falls with 2 and a half 1000 palestinians were killed. move in full files and went to touring that period. well, let's look a little bit farther because civilian casualties skyrocketed in december, off to the see spot ended and the not the un resolution was again locked by washington. the 2nd period which is not one coming has so far claimed 126000 lives plus $13000.00 wounded. so that is a quote of the total death totaling calls, so that could have been avoided if of course, it wasn't for those us vito's. well, the decisions led to the depth of just story about $6000.00 women and children with

the you and reporting around 70 percent of old best and goals opponents. those 2 categories, the you on, on the secretary general matson. griffith has raised the concerns over the unfolding situation. a staggering 85 percent of the type of population traumatized and forced to see again and again as the phones haven't miss all straightened out on the faces of residents. we are as close to statements as rainy ministers regarding trans drink coverage to match transfers, civilians and guys out to it said countries these statements res, great concerns about the possible possible mass transfer of the protection of the palestinian population from the gaza strip. something that would be strictly prohibited, of course,

on the international. we can hold to allow this jamika size for the consequences of isaac configuration. as if this is not bad enough would be unimaginable. but later this, how is ralph found me rejects claims by south africa that it's committing genocide and the daughter off of the tour. it demands the country, quotes its own cutting facilities, stay tuned for more not 10 hearing at the hateful, the us state department has confirmed the death of a chilly and americans on this in ukraine. gonzalez, there was 55 years old. and as well as the claims his son was tortured to death in prison for criticizing presidency. lensky, i cannot accept the way my son has died. he was tortured extorted incommunicado for 8 months in 11 days, and the us embassy did nothing to help my son. the responsibility of this strategy is the dictators of lensky with the concurrence of a c. now american president,

joe biden. what would you like to just do to now biology correspondence shape those to get more on? what does this mean? say some people will know gonzalez, there are a lot, especially if they've been following anything. what's going on ukraine, that big on twits us, but can you just give us a bit of background to this now, deceased, but john, john, this blogger? yeah, you say if people are following ukraine online, particularly on youtube or on twitter, they will know who gonzalez, there is a, actually an american. he held the both passports and he had a very outspoken view of the situation and you try and i'm interesting. he actually stayed in ukraine is called at which may have turned out to be in his down for a vocal critic of the regime. and, and he had taken part of lots of round tables. he have a large following and twitter and associate on youtube as well. and remarkably, he was probably one of the only dissenting voices within ukraine. that remains. and his troubles really begun as

a result of some of the statements he made on youtube and on his social media sounds. sounds good. so let's have a look and listen to one of those. now, in the wes all the propaganda, i said that the, you know, someone's, he's a hero, a winston churchill figure, you know, and i can't reach him or just change orders and stuff like that. now the bumped her fever, the timbers. i'm telling me right now. yeah, so after this he has become more more of a safer so probably at now you'd be taking that as americans as you might protect them. saskia, which didn't turn out to be the case after this. a warrant was issued for the rest on the basis that he was promoting the russian aggression in ukraine and various other quite, you know, uh bizarre challenges against him. basically just disagreeing with it with this and then see regime he was arrested. he had a court appearance, he was put on a house arrest of a sort, and then he tried to actually escape from your brain. he was informed that his fate may not be at one of safety, and he may not get

a fair trial during that attempt to escape from ukraine to the home gary and border . and he went through various and twitter speeches. he took people to the day that was quite a dramatic period for his followers on, on what and what were more widely of the media. and he also had written a letter from at close to the about his, his illness and how he had been treated. and just have a look at that letter. no, sounds good. but i have no idea what it is. i've had double pneumonia, but as long as, as well as name a tourist and a very severe case of a dma swelling of the body bull. this started in mid october, but was ignored by the present there in the admitted i had pneumonia at a december the 22nd hearing. i'm about to have a procedure to reduce the edema pressure in my lungs, which is causing makes stream shortness of breath to the point of passing out often minimal activity or even just talking to 2 minutes. yeah, and of course, of course, gonzalo had also, you know, suggested that he had received

a brutal treatment industry opinion prison. and that he had been torture that he suffered from bad the previous health conditions. if you like, you had a heart condition as well. and some of the descriptions that he made of the torture he had received or alleged, you'd receive of quite brutal and having the whites of his eyes scratched with a to pick and complicity with the guides in this kind of torture. so it is quite graphic, but we can have a listen to that. now. i've taken a beating in my time, so show it how like help. but it was manageable, but then at 1.2 folks held my head and use the to speak to scratch the whites of my left eye while asking me if i could still read. if i had just one, go to correct rabid my 1st cell, but it wasn't too bad. the west stretch was a my full of cell from 1 pm on june the 21st until 7 pm. the next day 30, i was always beaten and sleep deprived my alms, twisted the wrong way around to the shoulders in germany beaten pretty bad as luck would have it. 2 days later, when the bruising was in full bloom, a senior god came to give me

a wellness check. this was lightning because of the chilean embassies efforts the last time as he called me 3 times, but gave me nothing but support. and the bromides yeah, so as you can see, starsky a, these are quite disturbing the shocking revelations about this gentleman who is necessarily deceased. well, i would have expected that washington would be shocked by the, i mean, did this is an american citizen who is the been locked up in ukrainian jail, allegedly because he's speaking his mind, the american of course, the beacon of democracy, freedom of speech. so what's been the reaction from many us officials? well, this is the, that's the remarkable thing. uh, not only was there a significant lack of reaction to gonzalez, heroes, a captivity on the basis of free speech. remember what the, what is the american mission in ukraine? the american mission is to defend freedom, democracy, the slide of democracy, this country, which i suffer from significant corruption,

as we know prior to the russian intervention. and there was significant problems and you find particularly the prison service brutality, abduction trip, a murder, indeed. and we know that from us state department reports ad 2019 outline this in great detail. now matthew miller, the state department spokesman, was on several occasions. asked about this and we're gonna have a listen to it. and you can see the uncomfortable position that they found themselves in when an american citizen is imprisoned in the allies, jane and brutal conditions that some of this and that, that's us can be learned last night for a series of tweets by him. that he had been tortured in the print in prison, and he was now on a motorcycle with a broken rib trying to flee the gear and border. and so i'm wondering, you know, if this is true, given the state department knew of his arrest and his detention. how has this been allowed to occur? we have a us citizen being arrest being detained and perhaps tortured in the prison of one

of our strongest allies. well, you, you lost me with the perhaps, and if this is true, i think i'd want to verify those reports before i commented on alex, go ahead to problems. whereas the state of broadcasting, i think, i just want to verify anything before i come and go head out. yeah. so in addition to this sort of stumbling acknowledgement that he was in prison and after his death we still see no real official reaction. our outrage in the united states, you have to ask yourself if someone like having durst, of which died in close to, you know, in a russian prison, iranian prison, or a syrian prison anywhere else. but in the united states, as ally, as you know, that brings up this old mirror of progress to give the west. but we have had reaction english here from colleagues who worked with him. i knew myself, i had friends who knew very well. and we've had a significant reaction from russia about his i'm fortunate to my associates of us have a listen to the reaction. we're deeply outraged to learn of the death of the united states generalist, comes out later and ukrainian custody according to the information available. he

was imprisoned and tortured. we're also not surprised to learn that the usa did not make any efforts to release of citizen. moreover, we assure that these champions of freedom of speech with double standards of morality will try to hush up the gentlest stuff. so in some ways, more questions than answers you know what to develop, staying in the halls, in the midst of this, a brutal crack down on free speech. and you're trying to remember the present. valencia's found political opposition. he's a talk of the church and even defending against the narrative that this is a war of russian origin and would be very quickly shut down. gonzalo was very brave and some would say no, easily, still challenging the regime. and it seems he's taking a big risk and maybe pay the price for that. se, ask you what a lot of questions now, but the americans, what's this mean? what's to say about what they would do for their own citizens? will this be brushed on the carpet? will the americans ignore his death in much the same way that they ignored his
