of the farmers across europe at last out against strict environmental regulations that are stifling their businesses and war and the government, they are determined to go all the way to get concessions. we don't want to back down until we've made real progress because we can't take it anymore on our farms. we're still very much alive and that we're not going to give up. in any case, it's our life. it's our future. it's our children's future. despite the mounting pre demonstrations of loss, improve 50000000000 euro aid package to crane up are hungry and back down from the french to veto. the move the and the u. s. reporter. they approve the series of attacks on iranian personnel in facilities inside

a rock and 3 f. as after the latest assemblies try out american forces in the middle east. the and rachel ruble live in moscow. your watching our t international. thousands of farmers across europe are protesting against under and payment under payments, high taxes and stifling green agenda regulations with around 1300 tractors, blocking major roads in brussels as european leaders. matt, for the use summit of the,

the increasing and domestic lows come as the block approved in additional 50000000000, the euro aid package for ukraine, with the official saying, supporting care of was the priority. the agreement, the european council delivered on our priorities supporting ukraine a good day for europe. we have a deal is us taking leadership and responsibility and support for ukraine. we know what is at stake while these european leaders are hold up in brussels, but may as well be on a whole separate plant and given how disconnected they are, they're talking about how it's a quote good day for europe, because they've unanimously voted to below more european tax fair cash on a non european country. ukraine have even bother to look out the window. so they

think that all the cheering that's going on or there is for their ukrainian vote. now those aren't people throwing things as just people giving high fives to cleaners. so the ponder lines, you castle, actually, they're farmers, the likes of what you've taken to the streets with their tractors and about a 3rd of the countries at this point. and counting. because they're completely, i rate a being squeezed on everything from climate change regulation concocted by ursa was battalion of death jockeys in brussels to energy costs to being spied on by e used by satellites 3 times a day. and being confronted with a discrepancies even when, well things like whether or can change things from one hour to the next or from one day the next. but the doesn't seem to realize that an icing on the cake. they're losing revenues and market share at home to creating and products that don't even meet you quality regulations and are still being dumped into europe instead of

going to feed the poor and those in developing countries like the wind about and promised the we don't want to back down until we've made real progress because we can't take it anymore on our farms. today we've got standards falling on us from every direction company. we worked with living things all were farmer out. were breeders, along with our colleagues, we can't afford to have rules that prevent us from responding to the vagaries of the weather to the needs of our crop rotational. because we've got your opinion regulations, because we've got a band coming down on us that the old is we're determined. i don't think they're convinced we're going to last. and that's why we're showing them that we're still very much alive and that we're not going to give up. in any case, it's our life, it's our future. it's our children's future. so as you think finding motivation in the world is not to give up. you've done the hardest part now we're here are tractors are here. now those same drafters, some of them that made it to brussels,

reported $1300.00 of them. and the belgian prime minister saying that, well, those people should be heard, they should be listen to. and that's exactly what the french prime minister is also saying every few days. now, we hear series of announcements just on thursday, once again, ultimately trying to find the magic words. anything that would potentially get those tractors off the highways. here in france, we don't want to, we want to be suffering from silver and to grow from suffering to harvest the silver and to feed ourselves. so this is the 1st commitment i am making this morning. we will enshrine the objective as over until you know this, and we will do it with foam as all the basics of actually i indicate to you to find the width of the sun during this we will in try and agriculture in the military, which actually has a fundamental national interest a true up till now there's been nothing concrete, no real strong propositions that will make

a serious debt. and all of the challenges with departments are pacing, and the farmers only ever really deal in concrete and pragmatism. they don't tend to say much, you don't hear from them very often. they are often entered public debate, but when they do, it is clear and loud in to quote one farmer this week when i was out on the a 13 highway here in paris at that blockade. he said, you know, i'm like some politicians. our feet may be in the dirt, but the dirt is sweet. and well, those farmers are looking for concrete propositions and are, and things that move the needle from their countries and also from the you who they blame for the majority of the regulations that they face and the challenges. and one of the big complaints that farmers have is that they're being strangled by you regulations that brussels insist on maintaining, in order to protect. they say, every thing from the climate to european citizens health. and then at the same time,

they let all this sub par trash in from ukraine to fill up people's place. so farmers here in france and i'm sure the rest of the, you want to know which is it is a cool now to just do whatever with food production like your brain does. or is it really that important to maintain standards, in which case, why should you try and get a free pass at the possible expense of people's wellbeing? it also of the farmers livelihood? whereas the consistency in any of this is what the farmers want to know. having spoken with them this week, and yet the message they're getting now is that ukraine gets the cache and the attention while they're standing in the streets, yelling at the building like a child whose parents are always telling and they're broke. well, the same time buying stuff for the neighbors. while brots on your apartment is to victor or bond threatened to room the unity party as the to you meeting on thursday with a veto. on the 50000000000 of knew that the full cranial ones are cash for ukraine

that were got out in the financial times earlier this week of a working document that'd be used suggesting that his arm couldn't be twisted with economic torsion. ultimately he did cave, but with a cab yet. according to prime minister, oregon b. u commission should represent the interest of european farmers against those of ukraine. not the other way around. we need to find a new leaders who truly represent the interest of the people. he said, referring to this year's european, the parliament selections that or bon onside the you did have to agree to debate the assistance every year because they can't do that right. there is really all they ever do. and also to review it every 2 years, whether or not that's going to amount to anything or even the rail, the plan that they've just pushed through is, remains to be seen. it's not clear if the foreigners asking the you,

where's the beef will appreciate the adjuster either the bite and administration has announced a new executive order or targeting is really settlers in the west bank. that's mid escalating attacks on palestinians, which have reached unprecedented levels and aimed to displace them from their land . i have issued an executive order declaring a national emergency to deal with the threat posed by the situation in the west bank, including in particular high levels of extreme, a settler, violence, force displacement of people, and villages, and property destruction. such actions constitute a serious threat to the peace security and stability of the west bank and gaza. israel and the broader middle east region and undermine the foreign policy and national security objectives of the united states. the following. the presidential order of the us treasury department immediately impose the sanctions against it for

as rarely settlers, israel's reaction to the us move was not long and coming was prime minister benjamin netanyahu calling the sanctions domestic. all right, let's press live now to jeremy laredo investigative journalist, the great zone, jeremy does this statement from the biden administration represent a shift and us policy part as well. no, i don't think that it represents a shift. i think it's all talk and you still have is really so organizations um getting their taxes through new york getting tax cuts um none of those were um affected. i think that it's really, truly just because he's speaking about this really settlers, although he's not saying anything about god, but they usually rather focus on the violence that is still affecting the west bank . but it's, it's sort of pills in comparison to what's going on. the gaza is strangely, it's focusing on the jeremy biden says the settler violence is

a threat not only to the west bank the region, but also to us national security. what does he mean? i mean, in the west bank after the war years, early settlers were turned into military service after october 7th. so the state has given the same people were already trying to give get the policy means off the land illegally. i might, as they were given long guns, they were given drone. instead of giving rifles a military uniform keeps. and these already violent sellers with their new military equipment had been given the green light from these really states and essentially the, the united states. and they have ethnically cleansed, $18000.00 in villages since october 7th. this is something that hasn't happened for for decades. so what does this actually mean? it means that the settlers and engaging shootings, kidnappings, organize knob attacks, violent death threats, and truly just terrorizing these rules. housing and villages to the point where these policies meet. we go to other villages. they pitched tents and other regions of the west bank. and the settlers then submit permits to these really state and

they aim to build new is rarely settlements. and speaking to these palestinians, i spent a month in the west bank very recently after october 7th. and these palestinians could sometimes, you know, before october 7th, they could call the police, make a call the military. and occasionally the police note here we did her. the settlers, but now after october 7th, the police have come and they have a part taken in these ethnic cleansing activities with the settlers. and so when you have this going on in the west bank and some of the settlers or americans, they're jewish americans, they're going there to take land from the palestinians. so of course, this could have ramifications to the united states politics and one way or another . why is it now so that the us is finally paying close attention to the settler situation? because this is nothing new. this is nothing new, but it will, i will say it is like never before. i mean 18 villages ethnically cleansed in the

last 3 months. these are villages that, you know, had people, they had agricultural, economic economies. they were had capital, they had lambs, they were, you know, selling things. they were raising the children there in 18 villages and such a short time had been totally abandoned by the palace, millions and the sellers feel. now that they had been given car boss to just move in and make settlements there. and so it's, it is interesting though to see by and talking about the settlements right now. when there is all this going on in gaza. i feel like maybe he's trying to save him . so politically and criticized is really settlers in this tiny way that he can is doing right now, instead of criticizing the entire, is really establishment on their military operations and thousands of jeremy. as you said, you were in the occupied westbank and did a report on palestinian life, the violence of his release, settlers and the army. let's take a look at part of that report. the thousands of palestinians from villages that have already been clinton,

displaced from the rural lands. i've had to find land away from settlers and which tents residents of this village were told by sellers a company. but he is really military. that if they did not, they key their land to 24 hours. they would all be killed. entire bedrooms remain, children's choice, schoolbooks, food dressers, full of clothing, facilities have destroyed many of the structures in order to ensure that no one returns before they begin building a new, illegal, jewish development. jeremy, can you talk to us about that experience and what you saw on the ground during your time in the west bank? of course. so what i saw there was the military and the settlers, but they were one in the same to most palestinians. both had jeeps, both had military uniforms, they all had long guns and most of the time the policy and cannot differentiate who was on their way to the village who was getting out of the jeep with the guns. um and there was tons of villages i've seen had already been asked me for the kinds of use on that video. they left everything their blankets, their pillows, their clothes, their belongings, children's toys,

bicycles. these were just sitting in the villages and they're probably, we're not gonna be there for much longer. they were all gonna be taken away by the jewish settlers. and then they were gonna build a settlement there, hopefully in their garage. and we would also see is a village is that still had palestinians and many of them in the jordan valley. so there's tons of housing in doses, and they're talking to me about what's going on there every night. the settlers come with the military, they shoot guns in the air, maybe they break a couch leg so they have to kill the cow they. they're just hurting that they can optically and emotionally, every night and every day. and hoping that eventually these people will be so distraught that they will leave their lance. and that's what, that's what's happening in the, in the west bank. i know that your report is about the events after october 7th, but how calm was the situation before october 7th, how have things changed? well, i can always speak to my experience. things were wild their post october 2nd. but when i would ask what was going on before the settlers did not,

we're not showing bolden, they wouldn't, they, they, they believe that the military, the police would maybe come and, and, you know, break it up say, you know, come back a different day, say the policy is a little bit, but right now the jewish, you know, the, the military of the self proclaimed jewish state right now is not protecting anyone who is posting anyone who's christian, anyone who's most of them only there to further the aim of a greater israel and the settlers know this very well and they're taking advantage of the situation. i'm sure you're aware of the recent idea afraid on the hospital that's been backed by the us and that's viewed as a success, as militants were killed, with no reports of civilian casualties. what's your assessments of that? well, it's the, it's the same thing over and over when we hear that it was a successful operation. these are, you know, extra to do digital operations where we don't, i mean, it's reported by, you know,

the idea that no civilians were killed as reported by the us and there's a going to kill, but it's civilians were killed. they would, they would say, well, they were, you know, they were combatants, they, um, they were near combatants and it's, you know, it's a casualty and it's, it's upsetting, but i feel like we can't trust a lot of the reports that come from the idea of when they claim that their operations were successful in going back to the illegal settlements. uh and again, nothing is, is new here as far as the settlements. why do you think that despite the international community, knowing that this exist that nothing is really done to address the issue? well, these rarely state, they back all of these elements, these people go there and there. um, the settlements are financed by these really states. they have to run the border there that need security, the needs electricity. and so when the international community, the condemns of settlement, you're effectively condemning the israelis, israel's aim to make

a greater israel. and that doesn't happen very often at the u. n. or an international or me. so i think that the international community and they see the settlements and israel as, as the same thing and they are, um, so i, that's why i think you see very little condemnation of these supplements or so a lot of people are talking about the need for a 2 state solution to this complex, even though netanyahu has been clear that he does not support a 2 state pollution a solution. but based on what you have seen personally, do you think that palestinians and israelis can live in peace? yeah, i mean i, i, i believe that i mean in the west bank they believe like they, they don't care if israel's is released or they don't care of juice. people are in palestine, they just don't want they, they don't want to be kicked out of their, their little villages. they, they're completely fine being in your, um, you know, tell of you, i don't think that they have a problem,

but there's so much. um is really infrastructure now in the west bank that i'm assuming that you can just get rid of all these really infrastructure and all the settlements. and it could be only posting using the west bank is, is not something that i can see happening. but when you think about east jerusalem, i was and checked her out. and so there's been processed for years and checked her out and occupied yours and it is really sick. but just give these houses to jewish people and now and she draw, there's no protests. there's nothing happening there anymore, and the people are too scared and issues and there's such a repression that people are afraid. even walk on the street when you refresh, impacted team use these jerusalem. but occupied it seriously is that they're taking people's phones just walking down the street that's checking their phones if there's means or if there's photos of, of anything that sympathetic to the house. and you and calls are critical. and these really army, you know, quick to the, to the, is really jail. so people are to a free to do anything to it. and the sellers in check your, uh, like they said, they're in bold and just like the ones in the west bank, molotov cocktails,

fire bombs, on threats, death threats. they're doing all these things. and usually she is allowing them to do them. and they're hoping that the palestinians leave shift drive, we have history as well. and then again, you can turn it into a jewish neighborhood. so with this real estate right now, not defending palestinians, even though before they were barely definitive healthcare is right now it's, it's, um, it's a, it's a disaster. mm hm. what about the taking of children from the west bank? it's since october, israel taking some $400.00 children, some of whom have been held under administrative detention without charge or trial . what do you know about this practice? how common is it? and what about the conditions in which these children are held? when i was in the west bank, i did witness children being detained and being kidnapped, but not by the military. by the settlers, the settlers were taking children from these villages and bringing back to the settlements in a way to stare the palestinians in a way to, you know, if you leave this, if you leave the village, you'll get your 10 back. kind of like a blackmail they're black mailing policies with their children,

with the support of this really military, the jeeps that they're being thrown into were, is really military jeeps given to the settlers after october 7th. and they're surveilling these um housing and they'll just with drones that were given to them by these really military this, that the settler and military is one of the same right now. and the children that are being taken by the military, i believe is also tactic for a greater israel to try to get the housing and also and look, if you stay here your kids get taken wouldn't, don't you do not want that. so i think that taking the children, whether settlers, whether it's the military children from the west bank, is a way to get the palestinians off the land. all right, jeremy left free to investigative journalist the grindstone. thank you, jeremy. so the u. s. has improve plans to strike targets in iraq, in syria, including a rainy and personnel in facilities. that's according to media reports. the plans were made in response to the last week's attack on us spaces that claims the lives

of 3 american personnel across now to r t is coming up. and caleb news that will definitely leave the region on the edge . what more do you know about the us plants and how have they come about as well, according to us officials, whether will be a major factor in when these strikes are eventually carried out. so they plan to hit targets in both iraq and in syria. and they say iranian facilities and personnel will be among those hit. now the region is certainly on edge in response to this announcement. here's what we heard from john kirby speaking for the white house. we believe that the, uh uh, the attack in jordan was a, was a plan resource and facilitated by an umbrella group called the as monic resistance in iraq, which contains the multiple groups including kotob headboard. now this is

a little bit of a change in town from what we heard from the white house and from the biden administration just a few days prior. immediately in the aftermath of these events, they were saying they didn't want to escalate into a war with iran. but now they say they are planning to go ahead with strikes. here's the previous comments we heard. we are not looking for war with iraq or not. so you can in conflict with the regime in the military way. and as i said in the, in the opening, we're not, we're not looking to escalate here. everything we've done has been designed to try to deescalate those tensions this yes, i do go to the point

now from what we understand and what we've observed in us media, there was widespread outrage from conservatives and others about the death of the 3 us military personnel who were killed in georgia, among conservatives, we had nikki haley and others criticizing the by the ministration, saying that they're not being hard enough against iran cetera. here's some of what we for, criticizing the binding administration. you're saying now is the time to hit a run. now's the time to hit their leaders. it's different. don't go in bomb the or infrastructure, the infrastructure in a rack in syria. you start with that 1st you do the sanctions and you take out a couple of their leaders. that's the way in their country in there, if they're in their country or you do like solo money when they left the country, you figure out where they are, our special operations can do that and then you take them out. now this is the 1st time since october 7th that we've had us troops die directly under 4 and fire in

the middle east. um and this comes in a way above attacks that have taken place against us days. it's in the region sense . the october 7th events from a ron allied forces uh, according to the united states could top has the lot other iran align wishes have carried out $166.00 attacks total against u. s. military installations. 67 in iraq, 98 in syria and one in georgia. so we'll be waiting to see how the us responds. and if this further escalates the situation, the region is certainly on edge waiting to see what the united states does. all right, r t is caleb mountain club. the thank you. as turning out of pakistan where thousands of protesters have gathered in the northern city of budget or demonstrators are demanding justice for the killing of local election candidate. ro hahn's a politician. was shot dead at his campaign valley. after his funeral people gathered

in the local market to protest, calling for an investigation into the murder. and for those responsible to be found as soon as possible. the one must tell us how long will these dramas last? first, there will be an attack. we will protest and then the government representatives will come to talk to us and nobody will give them a deadline above and another deadline. but we have not seen any results of the investigations into these back to back terrorist attacks that was avoided. what about your phone book? the nation is concerned and anxious and deserves to know the motors, whatever they are behind this tragedy. this is a test case for the government of administration and security agencies to investigate and tell us the causes and motives of this attack as soon as possibly be with us. if you that is one of the problem i called on my statements, but we are your children, but we need your shelter in protection. enough left. so don't disclosure, whoever did this must be arrested. to stay with archie international up next,

on the documentary, philadelphia evicted to freedom, i, one of the oldest cities in the united states became overrun with crime poverty and significant classes, inequality the the

the

h o c. i. are you familiar with ever details in vegas? a 1000 calories come from l a. h or ever? cuz philadelphia they think is a good area just to get good drugs. and so you come down from so you come down or you start, you can come back anal waiting to use, you know, family members know you down here or stuff like that. that's why i was saying that there are say a kid to lay right. they're both where sit, that's now bow a, sit down where 21 sit down. this is the trenches. we gotta showed them. this is like little we sit like this is a little be living exam. if i can

tell you, i can't tell you too much, but the, this is how we learn because the government no law give us no money. faith, no bonus face. and they say nothing though, homeless people was in this building, homeless who was living in a building, they had to shut it down, covered it up, there was a, it got to the point. they got to a point they, they were living so hard. they had to break in a band ability because the government don't want to give us no money. no, it's very badly. but in general, in general, how follows. if i did them there almost died bullet who below. whether it's a booth bullet. oh, my brother in law died january 20.
