[000:00:00;00] the, the kind of really in revolution regard core come under is reportedly killed, along with several other officers in the news. really are a strike on the syrian capital. this saturday also ahead part us admits that some of the countries nationals are fighting in ukraine but isn't going to do anything about it despite mercenary activity, being a legal in from a senior. how much the official exclusively tells artsy that they've got and militant group box calls from the un for a lasting 1st of the prisoners swap deals with israel. we are looking for

a final total comprehensive seats phase which kind of allowed to open the models to live the seas to unload the aid to initiate or to launch a vision of exchange, the wherever you're catching the news hour from today across the globe. welcome to moscow on to archie international. we begin the program with breaking news from syria for local media, say, a senior, a rainy and military commander, and several of his aides have been killed in those really strike on the capital city, damascus. a residential building has apparently collapsed as well after the strike . explosions have been hurts across the syrian capital to israel as bomb targets inside the neighboring country. several times since october at 7, not prepared to leave the reading and military figures had been there in the advising

capacity it to the serene government will keep you updated on this developing story and trying to get a connection at with some journalists double this in damascus for the live reaction and the program, hopefully this hour 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 official said, the government cannot stop citizens from volunteering as mercenaries. despite the fact in front such activities are legal was issued to infancy. the french civilians who went to fights and 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 combine them from doing so. we have still

a democracy. some background to those words. 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 quote, professional fighters, as they're called, had been killed in a recent strike on the eastern, new print in city of clark comp. 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 russell's summons, the french from bastards who is foreign ministry on friday. but of course, nothing is expected to come out of that. for

the fisher has been saying that therefore in mercenaries, 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 in legal there, but that's not stopping their media from openly discussing it is, can you do what you need to see? is it public knowledge that the dozens possibly hundreds, so french 5 to send ukraine today. if it's one of the new toy attribute dates, it's no secret this price nationals. i currently find some ukraine. according to him, said he had still money who regularly visit the troops and ukraine between the 6th and 7th, the frenchman, integrated into ukrainian units hired for a minimum wage. he also mentioned that between 20300 to french nationalists was dual citizenship. who might have previously subs for the legion and know, fighting for kids. in the very early days of the pool, the printed president raised what he calls the international legion of territorial

defense. so this frenchman may well have belongs to these formations. all these french volunteer is going on with the approval of the 1st 4 ministry, or is it actually a private initiative? well, no, under no circumstances, would they go with the official approval? no french soldier is officially fights in ukraine on behalf of france. we know that france 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 of the benefits their own military industrial complex. and this is as apprised of emmanuel, my chrome announced this week that around a 40 scale massage, also known as storm shadow mess, miles as well as hundreds of other bombs will be delivered. so you pray 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. they'd be advised from a former french general to mercenaries out there. you're on your own as a legitimate target. so be aware, at the moment we are in the state of war, were needed, and russia clashing on the territory a few crane. so we french most there is the side for 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 have an end of the game. they have already lost. russia is absolutely correct. you can see that these french, most of these legitimate military target, just as ukrainians would not hesitate to, should french most. nobody's fighting on the russian side. it seems that price will continue to know in the existence all french mercenaries in ukraine. because if i had met snow in 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 . what earlier another of my colleagues, nicky, are and spoke with friends geo political specialist. so real deal of who said some of the country citizens are being actively encouraged to go fight for groups into the new nazi units in ukraine. is to speak about french messing. there is a new brain, then you have to understand that we have different kind of people different kind of pro 5. we have now seen 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 called in useful idiots were believed in what they're told. that is, 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 notices, more complex than it seems. however, as far as his view on paper, when it comes to the situation to create that they've been steadfast on it, that they fully support ukraine. if they, they physically, no significant change of the front line that we've seen in terms of ukraine save up . yet that saying what weapons and needed funds will continue to support ukraine. how does process position, i think, is view affect those who might want 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 mester these problem. in june 2024. we have europe and the elections, right? and with the situations and with the situation that we have actually in your opinion, as a new friends, it's much better to drill people's attention to something else. then to draw people that functions to the real problem that we have of the right turning attention to the middle east on the program where they apply to of palestinians to obtain by the idea of how is being highlighted by the united nations and officials for the world bodies, human rights office, say he's, he's interviewed civilians who were allegedly tortured by us, really troops. i've managed to meet a number of release detainees. they described being beaten, humiliated, subjected to ill treatment, and to what may amounts 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. well, some of the re simply released palestinian men are now recovering and hospital in the southern galvan city of what off their body showed, visible signs of abuse including wounds on their arms and legs your side, the former detainees described their warranty model. so they practice the west types of torture on us. it was a rainy night, so they took us to a northern area and put us on the asphalt. it was raining hard 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 the somebody that he 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 head during detention, we were forced to sit all day on our knees and we weren't allowed to move or even look around that. 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. while we spoke with international human rights lawyer basel surround names who describe b as really treatment 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 not the one with homeless, but it's against the board, but it's the needs including but his team and civilians should be punished. i mean, separate as days ago, the, is there any can a said approved and extension of an emergency board that, that allows a day. so a 2 or 3 p is 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 and a for a for months. and unfortunately this w standards and say, look, did with

t and how they deal with that. but, but his team in case is not to you, it has been happening for years. one of the reasons why he is writing is commenting . this is it's feeding that's, it has always been above 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 the state of buddies, teeny and thousands of pretty seen in between. these are be notice that some of that goes as to and westbank period. and after the 7th of october, the event will on this topic a gals in human rights group has also shared the account of a medical worker who said he was seized by is really soldiers. while i'm judy wearing a red crescent uniform and carrying his 1st aid kit while lead um stories from kansas city, a part of magic gun father of 3. he spent

a total of $141.00 days an id after attention when he claims he was tortured by his relief trips and threatened with death. this is what the emergency worker says he injured. and they removed the blindfold nice to 20 soldiers in green uniforms bearing the american flag southern they, they started punching me and continued for a long time. fracturing some of my breast bands. they kept beating me and showed me pictures of a tunnel accusing me of coming out of it, getting nothing is re lease and the americans being from the massively false is spying on this really soldiers in a combat. so i denied all of that, but they electrocuted me 5 times and severely beach me will live in my body, causing unbearable pain due to breaking my ribs and injuring my head when i couldn't bear the pain any more admitted to all the accusations in one of the interrogation rounds, they took me naked, to accept 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 basel surrounding again, who is now investigating, leads k sais. the money was lucky to come out of detention alive, while the fates of many other detainees remains on the, the unfortunate to you when he, it is a among the thousands of said, but the scene gainesville, have they who have been detained by the is radio corporation forces since the 7th of october, when he did a, i've come out alive and but the thousands are still in prison. but unfortunately, there is a present service and the radio congressional authorities are not responding to any of our requests concerning the thousands of detainees. blood in, inside, is there any present? so we don't know data page among those be deemed audit very from and then the individual was like that data that of and then she fos. but the data could of come

out and i do one hospital and the we have a unfortunately no idea what, how many are alive? how many have been killed? how many a have been subjected to torture? our lawyers is, or if they don't have access to them, even is there any organized human rights organizations? they've conditions the supreme court, but they have gotten no response except that is there a release it is releasing and those be obtained a but unfortunately um the situation is unbearable for them because we have many reports of torture as we've seen from what needs. okay, i'm returning now to our top story from damascus for local media. senior meaning and military commander and several of his aides have been killed in the syrian capital at this saturday. also bluff heard around the syrian at

city. let's go live now to political homeless. phillip ever came from damascus, who i believe also heard those blas welcome to you. thank you for joining us right now. what is the situation like as we speak? thank you for much. sure. so yeah, so it'd be today at the same process the opposite this morning. that is what i tell you then that that gets to be anything as i thought him as, as a square and the out of my home. and there are those kinds of cdns where everybody and the, some of your around in. and we'd have to be advice of something that was at a public and god's way or the, the assessing need to buy this assets icon, the. it was the x with an s type came from is psi, and that going on heights territory is carried by 4 and the sizes and on through now, until now there are a lot of people that being get risk,

you would and does that collapse and the 2 big things at which because of that, the ag edition came in and our vend area and the, and the mode means white or people are acting here. and usually it's believe about a reunion. military figures had been there acting at it in with an advising capacity. i think it's being stated to the syrian government. what else is known about the there is actually enough information, but those advice i was out of working in cooperation with the city and government and the is it, i is the governing your information and this is the, i'm all, it's all back around the end of the service on the around the advisors and i think this is a pop up we have seen today in damascus is a possible, is that long ago or between the around and between. is it

a land the some 5. so this long, we're updating that based on the log some and see the someone we've been on some other basis. so i think this is, as i told you, we haven't seen enough information, but this is a part of a video on board. and that we may see more and more escalation of the whole of asian may go to a very, very big more. yeah, davi is the big worry. isn't that israel has fallen serbia several times since october at seven's. what's the stated goal of the strikes? yes. as i said, that they are attacking even in the forces inside syria. and this has a been a very big life. indeed, they are attacking the sea of an ottoman, and they are taking a,

gave me that to the sides sites inside syria. and they want actually actually they want to weaken the susie, i'm out of me. i'm weak in the city and we'd have to be capabilities because when syria is week, is that i have got a thing going on heis for ever and the c m. yeah. when, when syria is we are unable to support thomas, i'm to support has one line to support of up parts of the resistance access. and i think those aspects must, i guess the bottom because there is a guy who wants to 5 pm on the big guns best the gulf end attack here on directly about the death to attack you. and so the main goal is to the end, the main goal is the city and the list of it's gaped by predicting syrian syria, as, as faith has of i to go. but it was the last 2 minutes or that i shot the compare. it was a child that had to in to door to the setup wizards and it keeps having it sent to it brings more and more we binds to the and this is

a vi for any states and for any nation. but is i taking here? rodney and present us and syria and celia and on at corporation as fx for more and more attacks against you, then government on just to expand in something you said earlier to leave earlier this month on explosion in the lebanese capital. killed a high ranking, come off, the official several hezbollah commanders have been assassinated recently. how far do you expect, how wide could this escalation go in the region? so i think this will often that gave the case of a hey and is it a has a lot and gathering, as i thought you were getting a very far me the information of all the is it about this in a me is all around the middle east and assessing may think many people and i think what is this, what often does offer this is that the big war and the big war now in middle east

is very much the necessity for been yeah. i knew nothing. yeah, for our best. and that's the reason to keep his political fuel shut. and if you know what this is that this today that, that definitely the most was game after 24 hours of that fairly phone go between president by the end bred binge. i mean, the thing, you know, as i think being, i mean nothing else. so this is a green light for is that i used to carry more and more on that sincerely. i live on an ever based on the i think we, we witnessed in the upcoming days of fx in here or there. but finally, i think all of that is made except bluth. i know about the gun except for what had been by next morning. well, good to see you again petty under the circumstances. of course, the political endless tell of able to human life from damascus. a city which was hit today, local media, se bye, and it's really stripe. thank you very much. come us once

a new deal with israel, that would see a prisoner, a swap, and a loss thing for stats, according to senior dallas, an official by some name, who spoke with us exclusively here in moscow on friday. here is a preview of stopped interview that will be showing later on there on the online, in full, in fact, in around 8 minutes time. and we have both a lot of proposals and the from different the datas categories, egypt shows about it's important to cease failed. and based on our experience with the fear, sees fav, which has been violated by this. so he has a total events. when it comes 1st to the humidity of an aide, we were not able to send the need a few minutes in it to the northern part of goes to have they have blocked it. when it comes to shooting guns, killing philistines, do you want this for you? and also when it comes to be committed to the conditions or to the names of the

list of for the scene and prisoners, women and children on this. when you decide to release them based on our list. unfortunately they have they will not, they have not committed to so you're 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 the dish was we are looking for a find them it totally comprehensive. cease phase. is that is is that a 5 is how much looking for an it is? yes, this is what we are looking for. which kind of low to open the voters to live the seized on know the aid to get in to goes up to the school. the rest of to been through the menu and pasting as of start of ink on the see the blue kid. and finally, to initiate or to launch and vision of exchange. okay, we're in fact going to watch the full interview, not with mr. bus and i am at the senior representative off. i'm us speaking in

moscow on friday. a lot of subjects delved into a toy associate, but 1st and foremost, that statements out he made that's a prisoner swap between israel on time off is something that would be welcomed by the militant grouping. let's, let's well, it is a great pleasure to have joining us here in the russian capital today, dr. bass, him that he by you are a member of a how must political bureau in gaza joining us here in the russian capital? i, i like to say very well welcome. and i'm so grateful for your time today. i'm so grateful for you to come in and speak to us here at the international it's it's, it's almost difficult to imagine. we're past 100 days now. office conflicting gaza . a lot of people didn't think it would go on this long. even more people didn't think it could prove to be as shocking as to what we've seen now for the past few

months. gaza northern gaza is basically in ruin. people who were told to flee to the south ended up getting caught up in bombs as well. we'll get to the future of gauze or in just a moment, but i just want to kick off our discussion just from a russian point of view. we understand that the russian foreign minister, we did send a list of 8 russians to hum us who may be among the hostages taken in israel. did you have any information you can share with us regarding these 8 possible russian hostages? we have received today in the meeting and the so for an offense in the name of a list of themes, of some of the russian uh, uh, citizens who are the nationalities solution on this site is uh, we are gonna need to convey this message to a lot of uh, brothers and leaders and does because it is extremely difficult now to give any

informations because with this very complicated situation on the ground. uh, but we have in the 1st uh, attempt to reach a seas fail. we have exhibited a lot of efforts to respond to the russian course, especially from president fulton to release some of the russian hostages in garza. and we have also did declare, did you want to clarify how complicated this is, origin on the ground this to the as you have seen, the, the northern part of the survey is totally destroyed. and the, the west of the self about this also is under attack most of the time. therefore, to move to search for the capture to sort of joe's or hostages is extremely serious and dangerous because of the continuous reimbursement. this uh, caption,

most the sole jones are in the hands of different groups in different places. and you have seen that even though so he, that tense will to release these hostages have cost the life of those. but isn't those because again, it is, you're talking about a very complicated and a very serious and dangerous situation because it is a very competitive, very serious and dangerous situation on the ground. but is thomas actively trying to get these russian hostages back? sure, we have from the, the one see the clearly, the, especially when we are talking about civilians, men or women, we are ready to release them immediately as long as we can reach a seas fail so that we are able to move around to seats for the capture of the people and to be sure that we can release them

and safely and secure them. and those of you talked about the cs far as i understand there will be no new cease fire agreements since november of last year. what all your time is for a new sci fi? would you tell us that we have booked a lot of proposals and the from different mediators, categories. egypt shows about it's important to cease fav. and based on our experience with the 1st ccf, which has been violated by this, so he has a total events. when it comes 1st to the humidity of an aide, we were not able to send the need a few minutes of it to the northern part of guys that they have looked at when it comes to shore. think i'm kidding for the scene as you want them to cease for you. and also when it comes to be committed to the conditions or to the names of the list of the scene and present those women and children on definitely the side to release them based on our list. unfortunately they have, they will not,

they have not committed to all that the only thing that is real keeps violating the terms of any potential ceasefire. usually when it comes to the terms that you offer . yes, the 2nd the dish was we are looking for a fine on it to turn the comprehensive seas fav. this is that is, is that a 5 is how much looking for an it is? yes, this is what we're looking for. which kind of low to open the voters to live the seized on know the aid to get in to goes up to the school. there is to 2300000 busting as auto starving under the sea to book it and find the lead to initiate or to launch. and there's another exchange. all you're seeing. i know you, you, you said that israel is basically violating a top proposals of any c spot procedure on the international community, particularly the g 7 community might disagree with you on that. you've seen, for example, various western politicians. uh, also for the former u. k prime minister, david cameron, who's come out on television. well, 1st of all,

he's very happy to bomb the, the, who with these one of the poorest countries in the world. but you have these g 7 countries who are the traditional supporters of israel and this and perhaps the heavy weight plays in the united nations as well. we'll, we'll get to that in just a moment. i wanted to ask you, as you well know, pretoria south africa is dragging israel into the international court of justice on the basically claims and allegations of genocide. indonesia is now finding a separate case mexico and truly are asking as well for another investigation. slovenia has even said that it's open to supporting such an investigation. if indeed israel is pulled into a number of different cases, whether it is b, i, c, j, all the i, c, c is hum us. also prepared to take the pulpit to stand up and one of these quotes and also on so for what have been the death of people in israel for the kids?
