or going underground, can the congress that made that some of the countries nashville is, are fighting being ukraine, but isn't going to do anything about it. despite person react sivitz a being illegal in friends. also this our practice, the west types of torture on us. we stayed in the rain for more than an hour, and they beat us while we were tied up as newly released all us to me and detainees . describe that religion abused by the idea. we hear from a lawyer investigating one of many such cases. the thousands who are sitting in prison, but unfortunately, there is any present service and that is radio to question or thirty's are not responding to any of our requests concerning the thousands of the tvs

a senior. how mazda official exclusively tells our to you that the gas and militant group box calls from the un for a last intrusive. i'm the new prisoner swap deals with israel. we are looking for a final total comprehensive seats 5th, which kind of low to open the voters to live the fees to know the aid, to initiate the launch. and there's another exchange tom, the council on american islamic relations condemns the so called sweetheart deal for a former white house adviser who's being offered a chance to avoid prison for harassing and how long food vendors in new york, the for must go to the world. this is our to welcome to the news our. my name's okay. we will get to those headlight stories in just a moment. but some news coming in to us from syria, where a local media,

se israel has allegedly bottomed a psyched in the capital, damascus to a residential building. how's that park be collapsed after the 1st strike? at least one person is said to have been killed with 3 others injured. explosions have reportedly been heard across the syrian capital. this sunday, israel has bomb targets inside the neighboring country several times since october 7th, very much the developing story. this, as in, when we get more verified reports as to what occurred today, we will bring it to you the know the french defense minister has been forced to admit that some of the countries nationals have in fact, been fighting against russia in ukraine. the par, us officials said the government cannot stop citizens from volunteering as

mercenaries. despite the fact in france. such activities are legal, was issued to infancy, the french civilians who went to fights in ukraine wearing ukrainian military uniform. these people have no connection with the french armed forces. they do not wear a french uniform, and they have no association with french military institutions. we comp, i'm them from doing so we're still a democracy, so we need to fix it. so why is it being spoken about? well, the french defense chief was walking back a claim from the country's foreign ministry, which denied that any french mercenaries are fighting in ukraine. it's after russia stated dozens of french soldiers, a fortune i think killed in a recent strike on the eastern ukrainian city of hark. cough. the bronze helps you bring with supplies of military material and military training in full compliance with international law. france has no mercenaries, neither in ukraine nor elsewhere, unlike certain others, so, especially in france, knows nothing about any fresh mercenaries in ukraine spots. french bodies are

piling up there, which is why russia summons the frenchman bastard to his foreign ministry on friday . but of course, nothing is expected to come out of that for the fisher has been saying that there are 4 and more so there is a new crane all along is something that has been documented as well. but frances, having none of it claiming it knows nothing. of course they know nothing because there's no reason is in legal there, but that's not stopping their media from openly discussing it. just can you tell you to be true seen this is public knowledge. the dog saw sense of possibly hundreds, so french 5 to send ukraine today unified. if it didn't, we didn't know till i had to prove it. it's mostly through the french nationalist. i currently find some ukraine, according to because i have yet to 2 months. include regularly because of the

troops and ukraine between the 6th and 7th, a frenchman, integrated into ukrainian eunice hides for a minimum wage on. he also mentions that between 20300, the french nationalist was dual citizenship. this might, could previously so into, for the religion and no fight to, for kids for the on the very early days of the whole, the printed president raised what he calls the international legion of territorial defense of it. so this frenchman may well have belongs to these for mason. all these french moments he is going all of the approval of the price for ministry, or is it actually a private initiative? well, no, under no circumstances, would they go with the official preload? no fresh soldier is officially fights and refrain on behalf of friends. we know that friends is interested in prolonging the conflict and ukraine because their politicians are admitting it themselves when they call for long term military support for kids and highlighting how much it benefits their own military

industrial complex. and this is as president emmanuel, my chrome announced this week that around the 40s scouts myself, also known as storm shadow. miss lyles, as well as hundreds of other bombs, will be delivered. so you crane in the next few weeks. and now these long range storms shuttle missiles are a key weapon, any praise arsenal. so once again, the west is escalating, a conflict that could have ended a long time ago. and they're doing this by continuing to send weapons for their own benefit and getting body bags in return, be advised from a former french general to mercenaries out there your own, your own, and a legitimate target. so be aware. at the moment we are in the state of war, were needed, and russia clashing on the territory of ukraine. so a french most numerous disciple, personal reasons to join the war on one side or the other. they are obviously aware of the risks they have chosen,

their own feet. haven't entered the game. they have already lost. russia is absolutely correct. you can see that these french, most nobody's legitimate military target just as ukrainians would not hesitate to should french. most of these fighting on russia site, it seems that france will continue to know in the existence all french mercenaries and ukraine. because if admits knowing about them, it will have to at least appear to be doing something about it. and that's definitely not very good for weapons sales or their long term anti russell strategy . i ran a customer as i was already or another of my colleagues nikki, or, and spoke with french geo political specialist. so what do you do? laughter said, some of the country citizens are being actively encouraged to go fight for groups including new. nothing units in ukraine is to speak about french missionaries in ukraine. then you have to understand that we have different kind of people, different kind of pro 5. we have madison or is who can because the belongs to the

new meds, the movements. the 2nd part is people we decided to go inside and ukraine against the russian federation because they believed in something, those people, most of the time the, what i call the useful idiots were believed in what they're told us. they all, we need to go and fight for liberty and we go and fight for democracy and things like this. all the kind of nursing are, is that you can find it's full, the praying soul yours that we're serving in the french foreign legion for example . but decided to break that contract from the legion. so this whole concept of most notice is more complex than it seems. however, as far as his view on paper, when it comes to the situation to crate that they've been steadfast on it, that they fully support ukraine. if they, they be no significant changes on the front line that we've seen in terms of ukraine save up yet that saying more weapons and needed funds will continue to

support ukraine. how does process position, i think, is view affect those who might supposed to be willing to leave for us to go and fight for ukraine? when you find people in the streets in paris that are giving flyers, the french citizen, go and fight with me as of battalion. it only means that in france we have a problem because we cannot semester these problem. in june 2024. we have your family elections like and with the situations and with the situation that we have actually in your opinion as a new friends, it's much better to draw people's attention to something else. then to draw people that functions to the real problem that we have. of a new round of ukrainian artillery strikes. the meanwhile has hit civilian areas in the done yet grip public. the thing at least 8 people wounded, according to local officials. footage from the scene shows the aftermath of the

shelling of a hotel in the city of cor lapka, the mercies. other buildings including a kindergarten are also bowman by t, as forces with cluster munitions. the u. s. and the u. k. how been supplying those widely bound shells to ukraine? right. turning attention now in the program to the middle east with applied to the palestinians to obtain by the idea has been highlighted by the united nations and the official for the world bodies. human rights office say he's a, he's interviewed civilians who were allegedly tortured bias, really trips. i've managed to meet a number of release detainees. they described being beaten, humiliated, subject to ill treatment, and to what may amount to torture. they reported being blindfolded for long periods . some of them for several consecutive days, there are reports of men who were subsequently released but only in diapers without

any adequate clothing in this cold weather. for some of the recently released palestinian men are now recovering and hospital in the southern gals in the city of rafa. their body showed visible signs of abuse including wounds on their arms and legs. here's how the former detainees describe their or depot a model. so on this, they practice the west types of torture on us. it was a rainy night, so they took us to a northern area and puts us on the asphalt. it was raining hot and it was cold. we stayed in the rain for more than an hour and they beat us while we were tied up. some that somebody, somebody said i was detained for 38 days, and we were only released today when i was detained and these really army dog attacked me. and beat my hand during detention, we were forced to sit all day on our knees and we weren't allowed to move or even look around. i'm walking for the 1st time in 40 days. i wasn't allowed to walk at

all. we were forced to sit on our knees 247 when it is rarely soldier wanted to show some empathy. they would let us move into a comfortable posture for 10 minutes, but we weren't allowed to lay down on the ground. well, we spoke with an international human rights lawyer above will surround me. can you describe the as really treatments of gals and civilians as collective punishment? this is a word that started getting, he said the police teens for being police damian's. it's our with him us. but it's against the dead bolt, but it's the main thing to think, but it's seen and civilians should be punished. i mean, separate as days ago there is a can a said approved and extension of an emergency board that that allows this radio thirty's to the night. but it's teens access to lawyers. and this is for up to a 100 and a 2 days. but this decision has been extended for an addition in for a for months. and unfortunately this w standards and simply give it to you and how they deal with that. but it's being

in case is not to you. it has been happening for years. one of the reasons why he is right is committing this is it's feeding, but it has always been about that all a convention, national communities, especially western states, are focusing on the issue of is there any hostages, a and that's it did summit, but at the same time you have to also focus on the conditions of but it's the of betty see me at thousands of pretty seen in between. these are be notice that some that goes us to and do a spent period. and after the 7th of october events, what on a similar theme, a gas in human rights group has also shared the account of a medical worker who stacy was seized by his release soldiers while on duty wearing a red crescent uniform and carrying his 1st aid kit while lead, i'm sorry, is from kansas city, a part of medic and father of 3. he spent a total of $41.00 days an idea of detention where he claims he was tortured by his

really troops and threatened with death. this is what the emergency worker sees injured. they removed the blindfold and nice tall, 20 soldiers in green uniforms bearing the american flag. suddenly they started punching me and continued for a long time, fracturing some of my breast bands. they kept pacing me and showed me pictures of a tunnel, accusing me of coming out of it could, nothing has re lease and the americans being from the massively false is spying on this really. so just in a combat. so i denied all of that, but they electrocuted me 5 times and severely beat me will live in my body, causing unbearable pain due to breaking my ribs than injuring my head when i couldn't bear the pain any more. i admitted to all the accusations in one of the interrogation rounds. they took me naked to except some like boxes to the yard full of cold water on me and turned on the fence causing me to freeze while i was in the cage inside the prison. one of the detainees died in the same cage. lawyer basil,

surround me again, who is no investigating, while each case stays the mom was lucky to come out of detention alive while the face of many other detainees remains on. unfortunately, you wouldn't be, it is a, among the thousands of se, but the scene gainesville have available, have been detained by the is radio corporation forces. since the 7th of october, when he, the, i've come out alive and but the thousands who are still in prison. but unfortunately, those are the present service and the is radio corporation or thirties are not responding to any of our requests concerning the thousands of detainees. water in, inside is there any presents we don't know data grades among those to be deemed or very permanent to individuals like that data to find the issue for us. but the data instead of command i do, i am hospitalized. and the we have a, unfortunately no idea what, how many are allies, how many have been killed?

how many a have been subjected to torture? our lawyers is or is they don't have access to them. even is there any organized human rights organizations? they petitioned the supreme court, but they have gotten no response except that is a very nice it is releasing and those be obtained today. but unfortunately, um, the situation is unbearable for them because we have many reports of torture, as we have seen from what needs case. how most once a new deal with israel that would see a prisoner, a swap, and a lasting fruit stop is according to senior gallon, and the official by the name, who spoke with us exclusively here in law school on friday. here's a preview of the entry you will be showing up later on there. an online info we have booked a lot of proposals and the from different and mediators categories. egypt shows

about it's important to cease fav, a diesel node experience with the 1st ccf, which has been violated by this. so he has a total events. when it comes 1st to the humidity and it, we're not able to send the need a few minutes in it. to the northern parts of guys that they have looked at when it comes to shore. think i'm kidding for the thing is you wouldn't, this is for you. and also when it comes to be committed to the conditions or to the names of the list of people as teen and businesses, women and children on definitely the side to release them based on our list. unfortunately they haven't, they will not, they have not committed to all so your saying that israel keeps violating the terms of any potential ceasefire when it, when it comes to the terms that you offer. yes, the 2nd piece was we are looking for a fine on it to turn the comprehensive seats. 5th. is that is, is that a 5? is how much looking for an it is?

yes, this is what i'm looking for. which kind of low to open the boat does to live the seized on know the aid to get in to goes up to the school. the rest of tubing, city minneapolis team goes on top of ink and the see the blue kid. i'm finally to initiate the lounge and the vision of x to israel's national security minister has told idea of troops to kill suspected terrorists on sites, even if they do not impose that direct threats. and some are then give us call came during a recent visit to a border military base. you have complete backing from me when your life is in danger or you see a terrorist even if he does not in danger, you shoot, i have your back. a single hair on your head is worth more than a 1000 terrorist lives. live to israel this saturday. so let's speak to peace activist. i'll rosenberg on this mr. rosenberg. you're most welcome

your reaction to, to this call from the notoriously hard line minister or not. so it must be, notice that the, the units that administer bentonville was referring to is not actually part of the military. it is of police units, which is the task that the masking themselves are dressing themselves like the local error population, the in the arrest or of assess the names of the people, especially in the west bank, originally in gaza. although now obviously on the guidelines are just bombs. but uh this, uh, this unit is uh is, is kind of like a semis the for this destination squad. the kind we would see in uh in, in, in gainesville, and turned off the films and ends. although, so minnesota bentonville is uh, highlighting the,

this kind of attitude towards the, the life of the palestinians. and the, the lo and that is the more, the, the, the distinction between the value of the life of the palestinian person and the jewish war is rarely person. that's obviously true and, and gaza today with the massive crimes and on things that we've seen. but it's been through in the west bank and elsewhere in palestine for a very long time because this unit that's administered then bill was the dressings . he doesn't form is he didn't train it. he didn't said it's original policies and he's just done the same. the quiet part out loud on, on twitter, me last month as well. just to recap, the idea of shot dead 3 is really hostages inside gals, after mistakenly identifying them a suspected terrorist. you know, such incidents could potentially happen again, couldn't they? if it's really fruits, he'd this latest call, it says october stepson's. many people have been worried,

even ignoring which we show them the, the, the costs in palestinian life. some of these bombings, many people have been worried about these really military actually killing some of the, the kid. now he's and it's, it's very likely that a significant number of them have actually died by his really bombings business and not as made it but the, but it's a, it's a great source of concerns. we just occasionally hear that another person or on this other person has been determined to have died. and it's not clear how exactly they know. but the, but many suspect that some of these deaths are due to israeli bombings. now the case of these 3 people was explained because the is really military unit saw them on the streets. they and it was obvious who they were, is not the baby was not a case of mistaken identity. and they were simply shot and some, even

a suspect that this is an intentional in some sense. we remember that on october 7 am is really times, you know, even targeted to the, to the 2 boats barely with 10 fire to ensure that the, that the godson's attacking would not be able to take hostages. so they decided it was better to kill both the attackers and the hostages. instead of having hostages to deal with having to negotiate the prisoner swap etc, can i just put a political points to you as well away from what we're seeing on the brand? it's a very politically device of time because south africa's law suit of the i. c. j includes an accusation that the idea has been ordered to kill thousands indiscriminately. to what extent does the least a statement from mister bank of your reinforce, perhaps the case against his real love to hate

a lot. it's so in the sense that is, is uh, addressing of police units, then it is supposedly doesn't directly regard what's happening and cause us both in directly from him saying that the, even during police act policing actions, the lives of innocent bystanders on the, are work that thing and then the, the, these mass police officers are directed assumed everybody assumed of the whole surroundings on the side of the big don't feel say that them. uh, that tells us what kind of attitude these rarely government has when it the engage isn't as campaign and gods us, which is even which is a military campaign where the auditors even more hostile and less considerate as human lives. okay, thank you for the clarification. on the, on the police said at military side as well. i would really appreciate that at

speaking live in the program is really peace activist iowa rosenberg. thank you. so a former us state department official arrested on hate crime charges after publicly harassing a allow food vendor in new york may have his charges dismissed knots. if, according to prosecutor, stuart seldom fits to excess so called empty biased counseling program, the offer has been condemned. i tried to leave by the council on american islamic relations, which is the mundane justice, the salt of its valid verbal abuse and harassment targeting in this and straight vendor was caught on video for all to see the sweetheart. do you received from the manhattan? da's office is a shameful front of our justice system and hold on fitting to his actions and to post you know, an answer most, some biggest from hate crimes are on the rise nationwide. and large punishments are slept in the face to the victims. the represent a failure to address the severity of the issue, perpetuating a cycle of injustice and further marginalization, mr. silva,

vince who worked as in a to brock obama, was arrested in november after that you showed him insulting and muslim worker in manhattan. ortiz caleb and has been looking a little deeper into the controversial case. you were here on the upper east side of manhattan and 24 year old mohammed who was saying is hard at work. it is lunchtime. and he was the victim of a pro long street harassment campaign. months of intimidation and threats that were made by stuart selda with a former official of the obama administration. i was there and i was working on on monday and he come asked me about the, what are the from, i think anywhere from each of those of you to me is about thomas. and you can be able to use i didn't do anything of that. i also saw him talking about quote on something like this. i think my phone on record to him. now i'm scared about what

he can do for me because i'm just working here. i don't know of anybody. you know, the video of stewart cell, the way it's, and the hateful things he was saying to 24 year old mohammed uh, they circulated the internet and generated a huge amount of outrage. i bought a new printer terrace. you support her and they're saying go, i'm the support terrorism. i'm not so you go, i'm the user and terrible person you considering not me. oh, my kid's insurance. didn't let me go. i mean kill cho. okay. oh i see you're retail $4000.00 to me. in case, you know, why it wasn't enough, was go, go, go this man who was harassing a street vendor, talking about using his political connections to get him deported and saying he would be tortured back in egypt saying very hateful things about his mom and muslim americans he wasn't just anybody, he was a former official of the obama administration, and now we understand the prosecutors here in new york had given stewart sell the

with a sweetheart deal. that's what many are referring to it as a sweetheart deal, where instead of facing any penalty, all he will have to do is take a sensitivity course to learn about muslim americans and the problems of beings racially insensitive the problems of making offensive comments. so many are looking at this and saying this is an example of a, a 2 tiered adjuster system where it seems like those connected to america's political lead. don't face account ability for their actions, while the criminal ports seem to have let stuart sell to. it's off the hook for a haps, there can be a lawsuit in which some justice is one in which some compensation is awarded to mohammed who's saying for what he endured. but there was widespread outrage not just here in the united states, but all over the world about what the young street vendor was subjected to. so you drove hate crimes charges against former obama official stewards. seldom it's a he harassed a street vendor multiple times and gleefully called for the depths of posting and

children. and it was all called him video. your office as a joke, replace palestinian for jewish and see what would have happened to the perpetrator sold of it. some others like him, are untouchable, jail is only for the little people who can be hate crimes. a bama state department official gets charges dropped after he targets and stokes, a full truck vendor. no jail for steward. sel though it's just as a vice training. so the case has generated a lot of outrage, but it looks like the courts here in new york city. don't consider what stuart selda woods did to be very serious and i've given him what many are calling a sweetheart deal. we'll have to see how this case develops as legal proceedings. continue. have a lawsuit goes, caleb mauppin, archie, new york, will lead attorney. i'm funder of the muslim legal law firm, has some shibley's saves the case, reflects an alarming trend of quote as lot of a phobia among us politicians,

despite large scale pro palestinian protests held by the american public. i think this case displays true extreme problems with the united states. the 1st is, don't forget it. with this individual was this individual was responsible for helping shape us foreign policy towards palestine is real. and we see that is real feeling, a 100 children, a date with american support, american weapons, the entire united nations. fact that means against, for digital is doing in america as one of the few nations that stands in support of israel's 4th of crimes against humanity. and i think seeing of this individual and his and so i must some anti or app like pal assume hatred and the hatred that he's expressed, how he's de humanized and vilified his muscle neighbors and muslim businessman. i mean, i think that just reflects the problem of us foreign policy. you have people that are filled with hatred and they support policies that we ultimately see a leading terrific blood shed in the middle east. so when you see people like him,

it's no surprise that america is unfortunately enabling the genocide of the palestinians. okay, look back. now it's one of the most watched interviews of last year on going underground here a holocaust survivors take on israel's operation. gaza right ahead. this is our team throughout the i'm action or attention. welcome back to going underground, broadcasting all around the world, from the middle east. quite apart from the trauma and guns that from british american to you, nation armed aerial bombardment, there is trauma all around the world. one of the greatest trauma specialists in the

world.
