to the brush, it takes full control of the key tanya epps for a public city of ideas, the following months of fierce battle. the saw ukrainian truth retreats after suffering massive losses. also this hour the tel aviv is gripped by furious protests against the netanyahu government as thousands of his really cement a new cease fire and prisoners swap, deal with gaza was also calling for new elections. riley's follow yet another week. a deadly idea strikes on the posting in enclave including $87.00, stating rate that killed more than 50 low holes for the legend. sake of savings. 2

is freely hostages. plus western politicians and media are quick to blame off. so for the depth of controversial political activists, alexis, deena boned me in prison even before the incident is fully investigated. the coming to you live from the russian capital. this is the weekly with the top stories of today. and the past week, i'm fiorella isabel. the russian military has especially taken full control of the city of a gift in the dawn yet republic. the strategic location has the months of relentless battles with ukrainian troops, suffering thousands of casualties and being forced to flee in disarray. according to moscow, the because local, the order of the ukranian armed forces commander in chief, serious key to abandon the city was issued only a day after your credit and troops began fleeing uncontrolled from of difficult

matters are kindly being taken to finally clear the city of militants unblock your credit in units that have loved the city and are hold up. and they have the coke and chemical plan with the deliberation of, of data that has made it possible to move the front line away from the network, thereby significantly secure and from terrorist attacks by the criminal regime in kia, all information on the advance of our troops. was not transmitted until the enemy had been completed, defeated and the city had been taken under control. this is a big deal. it's a very strategic point as well. and the ukranian forces happy and if not withdrawing, they've been fleeing of difficult. what can you tell us? what it is from what we gather? we've spoken to fred is the colleagues over that and say they say that among the opinions there is chaos. a huge number of the troops would be the band and end up dave, but will they be told by reviewing the reviews of the job, they never even heard the will this to retreat? of course there's, there's no way to retreat because maybe you need more or less what can be described as a route as i of the of them isn't for rushing far control in this is called cynthia

always under attack. so the, they have to, it's 3 groups tried for the absolute chaos which is backed by the numbers the be put, the liberation of, of div good has made it possible to move the front line away from the nets, thereby significantly protecting it from terrorist attacks by the criminal key of regime. as a result, an area of 31.75 square kilometers, was liberated from the ukraine and nationalists, the enemy's losses in the battles. for of disco during the past day amounted to more than that was 500 soldiers. the russian minister of defense, so we can show who has the hubs, the toe, and full. let me approve of victory in a vehicle. he was also given us some details, you know, a very of the size of well, 32. so i can help with this is deliberate to the quite a incredibly quickly again, because the presidents get the will to, to retrieve robin risk thousands upon thousands of the troops being that encircled

with the costs 24 hours more than 800-8500 you credit troops while either killed or taken captive with the vase that it isn't over. let me tell you. it isn't over the still carrying out the the, the red wreckage that there is of the multi story apartment buildings. there is also, it must be said about of do an underground city. it is an underground city without the exaggeration of the past. a key is the opinions, realizing the importance of updates because it is difficult to stave. this would change it importance of, of data because it could that sort of the rooms to the railroad track full tubs. it also has, uh, the subtraction system. the wonderful tracing plot that supplies drinking water to move in to 1000000 people in it. so it is a huge loss for you. great, because it has been preparing the div that's for 8 long years. you'd have thousands of thousands of segments use to make bunk goods, whatever of dave around the gave

a very secure location. now the, the pulls out the re really isn't any way for them to hold the line as effectively because no way out they didn't expect of the, the full. we also know that they wasted the announcement of the capture of depth until they were absolutely sure because the bachelors a get k all 6. there are so many gradients, so trapped in the re of a had advancing brushing a soul to as we've heard from you. craig, and they said they've elected to save people's lives, which, you know, is a little late to be saying that you're claiming that you're trying to save people's lives. they won't have to say that. so just love a $1500.00. last and a single day. they would it be more organization to it. they're also trying to blame the, whether you to the general when to and as little ways to, to try this credit rush and fix it post as hygiene. so that there's this positive deputies relatively little for this, this top of the, uh, also it must be said,

you have units and outs where you put in a fee. so say you get it. this is all because of you. this is all because you didn't give us enough shelves. that isn't true. 2 weeks ago, i was just south of tape in money. the more you creating shouts across the nation being far as us. so at the russian. so i said by the russians that's in that stretch while i was embodied for the front there, there is, there is, there is less that we shouldn't be no shortage of shells and um, being provided with school with you. great. so blaming these on the shortage of weapons, or the weather is, is an attempt to navigate and his government to offer play lots of updates. one of the toughest baffles of this world. yeah, i mean that is, would it be a bit of a humiliating retreat withdrawal for us or landscape areas at the munich security conference right now it's heading all these west and politicians. everything is going a ok. send me more weapons in cash. and when we're gonna win this conflict with doing absolutely fine and it here we have as you say, this huge withdrawal from

a very strategic city of the i've got that now we, we can talk about on, i understand that it was, it was a part of the front line that people were not really supposed to talk about, we go to keep it pretty much house josh right now. look, this is, this is a, this is the facts of this. and it was very difficult to work in when you observe. because new credit and intelligence west and intelligence would track not only, and this is what we were told about phones, either journalist when we went to, we spoke to. but if we say code, uh, an office, uh they could track his location. anything we showed, even if we check to double check, triple check could be used to get special thoughts. and so we would, we wouldn't age of people's lives by 5 by showing certain things that have different examples of an operation that was long in the making long. it was very valid. it was cost me but,

but it has to be in independence. now of course, what restrictions have been lifted and hopefully my like good friends and calling egos, donald phys over that, hopefully you'll be enough to you soon again to show that you did huge bug goods and amounts of value nation where not munitions. java encompasses as well as are the guy that missed all systems ministry vehicles abandoned and left by by the credit ministry as they retrieve. yeah. and it's a big retreat as well. it reminds me when you go back to it was, are to come off a bach mood as well. that was another significant frontline of the seats city. this is the full in the same in the same way. there was of course, but do, but that was possible. that was sort of that, that was niecy chugs. yeah. each top russians would come close to and suckling in new brand new ways in the last moment. you would have zillow out, escape on that saying, behold, the last will never take this. and then they give the fact the go to, to retrieve the thousands and try to watch that have by blaming the when i hear the

description of the baby behind, all these munitions is un weapons. and americans supplied weapons in droves as they were treat. it sounds kinda like the withdrawal from afghanistan was divided ministration left of mind, 100 the millions of websites, maybe tomorrow is over there, instructing them on how the retreat because it sounds like the same sort of thing we saw on afghanistan. the bizarre thing i think is that you have a zalinski and munich the mandate not requesting, not asking doc cd for more weapons and munitions, demanding that the u. s. provides a more weapons or he will no longer consider the us as strategic partners. it almost sounds like a teenage girl doing a break ups arrest, which is maybe in line with is up mentality these days. and then the top it off the top, the talk to you with it in a conference that somebody should consider the assassination of president vitamin. with the chaos going on inside you prayed with him replacing his top general with

people. again, protesting the continued construction of their funds and, and, and uncles and brothers and sending them to these front lines where there were there killed. maybe zelinski shouldn't be given to anybody in the i and thousands of taken to the streets of tel aviv to protest and netanyahu's government's handling of the war and gaza woke. * all in for new elections in israel. the

and discontent is mounting and israel as some hostages remain, and home off hand. while the war on the cause of rage is on, protesters are also demanding and uses fire and prisoners swap. deal with the palestinian militants, is really police scramble to break up crowd blocking of main television city street . across in jerusalem though hundreds rallied outside the prime ministers, residents voicing the same calls. here's what some of the demonstrators told us. anytime i'm here because after experiencing the terrible catastrophe we went through in october, it cannot be that this government remains in power without asking the people what they want. and we want the elections here. and now our economic security is dropping. prices went up by tens of percentages in the past year. our credit rating has dropped, which means damage for years to come. this government needs to go home, period. things are only getting worse with everything that's happened since

the us. and it's been fine to take them out of prison years ago. every day we are waiting and this is the strong as well, literally in terms of people dying and also the fear of as well. the values of this country people are leaving. people are dying. what else can happen that would need to prove that this is a dangerous government, the worst government, the government is running. it's very important for me to bring down to is government because they are damage in the country. everything they do is for their own benefit, their political seat. and the only way in my opinion to bring them down is miss broadus. that's why i'm here. despite the demands of the israeli public, benjamin netanyahu claims elections are the last thing the country needs. he also reaffirm that the idea of will proceed with its a salt on the southern most cousins, city of rough up were more than 1000000 displaced. palestinians are sheltering,

useless to love him. israel will fight until it achieves complete victory. and this also includes action and rough, of course, after allowing the civilians who will be in the combat zones to be evacuated, to safe areas. those who want to prevent us from acting and ross are basically telling us for lose the war. i will not have a part in this. the political campaign that i am leading with my colleagues has allowed us to operate with unprecedented freedom of action for 5 months. and something that has not happened in israel's wars or something. earlier this week, more than 50 civilians including children, were killed and nighttime id of strikes on rough thought. according to the cause of health ministry. israel claims that use use sold as cover to rescue 2 hostages. a warning you might find the following footage, disturbing in the, in the,

[000:00:00;00] the, the look at is, this is what happened. these are the 2 marches right here and there are injured people to my relatives got injured. my wife got injured and they were all taken to the hospital. these to remain here. they were the displaced from con eunice and all the tents here of the displaced. it's like a refugee camp. how's it? and mos were demolished by dozens of strikes according to accounts from local media . rafa, which is on the border with egypt, is now the most densely packed city indian battled alison in enclave with more than one point. 5000000 civilians sheltering their as

a result of the deadly ray. the idea of that had managed to rescue to is re lease who were taking hostage on october 7th. israel has vowed to continue using force to return more objectives from gaza. that's 2 more hostages. hold on 134 still to got israel remains committed to the pledge, but there will be no one left behind. we will continue applying military pressure to release the hostages by full splat possible, and to create the conditions for the release. otherwise, the idea of finishing batch is really security agency, had been working on the move for several weeks. the operation was postponed twice and started at 1 am local time on monday. as soon as the opportunity popped off, as the army says, if less than an hour, and as a result, 2 hostages were indeed rescued and released these ro says 2 soldiers have been wounded from these really side as well. the countries air forces conducted heavy

strikes in rough uh to provide cover and support for the troops. the hostages were then taking too, in his really hospital and their condition is repulsively stabled. also pensions of brewing between israel and egypt, all the lumen, large scale operation in the rough, fine southern part of the gas was 3 pace. reland says the reason urgent need claiming the rossville full battalions all come up stations in that area that have to be eliminated. israel also believes the roster dozens of tunnels that connect gather to age of 10 to collapse them is real, needs to intensified smoke through average. the problem is that at least 1200000 gallons a currently located in that area. and israel still does not have any clear plan on where to move them or how to protect them from being hurt. these really get them in spokesperson earlier get a very vague answer to that, claiming the res, plenty of space and gaza for people to really move, let's say,

can listen. how long are you going to give them to leave and where all they going to go? you still haven't explained where they're going to go, given that so much is garza now is lots of as well there. open spaces in garza, there are places where it is possible to set off tempting compliments so that civilians can get out of homes way and not allow from us to use them as human shields. while it takes, or rather a surprise and cynical statements by and his really official given diet conditions people are held in here is what the you, when reports about the situation in southern parts of the gaza strip right now in rough uh, southern gaza there a 1400000 people, tons of kilometers of people living in the streets in plastic, make shift shouts as a military offensive in the middle of these completely exposed vulnerable people is a recipe for disaster. i'm almost becoming wordless. the question now is whether israel launches or there is to launch its large scale operation and rough phone. we heard clear statements about preparations earlier this week. prime minister

benjamin netanyahu has ordered the idea of to get ready for actions. the request was also sense to elaborate a plan for potential evacuation of guidance from the southern part of the suite. but it's really is also hesitating theory into edgar egypt. official cairo's as any potential operation at its folders will put relations with israel to a challenge or a t spoke to an official involved in the mediation process. we confirmed that indeed the relations between the 2 could potentially crack in case of the operation . israel's allies in america also warning against the moods while some mast claim that the operation in the south of gaza will stop all negotiations. and that means that the fates of $134.00 hostages, still remaining ink of to between gaza will be unclear. we are now at nissan, of both the crossing between israel, an agent with dozens of protests or as you can see behind me, came to try to prevent humanitarian aids from going to the gaz. us 3 of it is he

had another riley of these kind to organize in recent weeks. they were stopped twice really police a bit before this check point. they left their cars and walked here shortly on monday. by the way, there was another similar gathering planned as kept him shut long, crossing another major entry of the aides to the palace student and played some 50 kilometers from here, his really forces blocked the road, leading to that check point explaining the area was declared and military zone and didn't to live protest or is on media to pass through. most people believe food was her medical and shelter supplies send from these really territory go directly to the mass. supporting the militant group is really spied to the gainst in gaza. so sift over more than 10000 trucks and to the gas has 3 carrying around 140000 tons of food and water, about 14000 tons of medical aid and also stream really needed equipment and

materials for shelter is the un says more than 85 percent of gas is $2300000.00 population have been internally displaced in full months. all these really offensive with more than a 1000000. now, crowding around the rough up in southern parts of the 3 for israel is now when intensive military activity raising concerns about the safety of course of civilian guidance. there too young palestinian sisters named sierra and susan has to now we're a month the victims of israel's bombing of raw for this week. this footage from social media shows them enjoying their lives days before the bomb started falling on cause a. they were killed by the idea together with 6 other members of their family. the only survivor of that strength was a very am hustle. not he lost both his parents, 2 brothers, 2 nieces and a nephew. abraham were called the hiring moments. he had to identify their bodies. and when i saw them,

there were 3 on identified people. i was scared to open the body bag and see what's inside. i opened it and i found my mother. my father had visible marks, identified him from his clothes, my brother, his children, and his wife. i was able to identify them from the small pieces of their clothes. this disturbing for it has been circulating online since these really attack it purports to show one of abraham's nieces. her body can be seen hanging out of a window of their family home after it was bombs. abraham also spoke about the tragic moment. he found the remains of his relatives among the rubble excuse me and the targeting was direct. i found them torn apart. they were killed in cold blood with no mercy. i'm talking to you now amid the debris between the pieces of my family members and their clothes, i was extracting them and i saw the remains of our house. all of them were torn into parts, co founder of the cosmetic voices, groups as the devastating idea of assault on rough up was

a calculated move to cause the most harm to civilians. the situation is absolutely catastrophic. so we have seen do, they were targeting health care facility, they are targeting civilians. they are going to the most densely populated areas to kill as many people as possible. and these images early images on ah, speeds uh you know, just the reflection of what we are saying women, children, men being killed in mass or being pushed us from one say certain to the next is that there is no said area and thought of the reality is one of the western was democratic values and policy you might see and, you know, the model i ran out of the house isn't on the cause that they have failed. the people on the side, they have stand with people and they have fails around children and grandchildren. and now is trying to change the, the change for people on the ground who are sick and tired of watching. the double standard is the continual lives they can to continue atrocities happening live on

a tv screen as well. so we feel that emphasis on able to do is russian authorities are investigating the sudden death of political activist alexi, nev law, me in prison on friday, dependent century service says mr. nevada and he became ill after a walk and lost consciousness after which medics were unable to revive him. he was 47 years old. the west was put to blame moscow, but russia's foreign ministry responded that it has no time for blame games. the death of alexi, nevada, and he has once again demonstrated their her parker seat cynicism and unscrupulous and this to blame russia and every situation scheme is inaction in a short period of time within 2 hours from 1419 western politicians and the media corps at their back and called managed as if to obtain the results of a forensic examination that had not yet taken place to conduct the investigation

accused moscow and render a verdict. meanwhile, us president joe biden has personally blamed the russian leader for nevada. these death who is responsible for and of all his desk putting is responsible for 3 years ago in the meantime of the chase to hell of a lot of consequences kremlin spokesperson to meet 3 pets. coff has been nouns, premature assumptions by western politicians regarding the cause of all these steps as an inquiry is still under way of the statements of western leaders. a quite obvious look. there's no statement from medical experts, no information from medics and no information from forensic experts. there's no definitive information from the f, a cyan. so there's no information about the cause of death. and there are these

statements. it's obvious that they're completely outrageous. we consider such statements to be absolutely unacceptable. they're unacceptable, and that's how we feel about them. well, there's a lot of information out there right now, but very little of it is confirmed. basically, the stuff we have confirmed is from russia's penitentiary service, who was the 1st organization to say that and of all the has indeed died political activists. then also we, we should mention political extremist and russia from the, from, from 2022 onwards. according to the russian government, as a service says that uh, what happened essentially was that he lost consciousness after going for a walk and medics arrived at the scene of forwarding to a local hospital 7 minutes after being called. and they tried to re recessive take him for a whole 30 minute. so 30 minute for 30 minutes. yeah. and uh, but to no avail. uh, so there are reports, also unconfirmed ones that he had complained about feeling bad, but according to rushes social monitoring commission,

this is an organization that's responsible for looking at pre human rights in the country. no official complaints in connection to his state were actually recorded. we do have one source, is that archie, who says that that he died from a blood clot, but this again, yes, it has yet to be confirmed by the authorities. and just about an hour ago, the penitentiary service said that the commission was already on its way to the people telling me where this took place. and the last piece of information that we do have is that, and of all these lawyer has refused to comment on the situation. specifically per the request of all of these families. like i said, we have so little confirmed information and already we're seeing across the western media, people pointing the finger at the russian government. we've seen also the norwegian for administer the lot the in president ahead of the european commission. all saying that the russian government is to blame for and of all these death, even though an official investigation hasn't even been conducted yet. the you holds

the russian regime for soul responsible for this tragic death. alexis, of all the paid with his life for his resistance to a system of oppression. his death in a penal colony reminds us of the reality of let him you're putting the regime, read full news about know only if the report about his death and russian prison is true. it represents another terrible crime by putin's regime. this is something that rushes for administrative spokeswoman murray is a harvest, said is really revealing about the west's true attitude to fax and situations like these. the immediate reaction of need to leaders to nevada. these death in the form of direct accusations against the russia itself revealing there are no results of the investigation yet, but the conclusions of the west are already here. and you know, like i said before about an official investigation, that's obviously going to be really important in terms of establishing what actually happened. but unfortunately, i think it's very likely that it's going to be ignored in the west like many times

before. and we seen similar situations like when nev only felt ill in 2020 western press was saying that he was poisoned by the russian guardian, russian governments. and the medical professionals in russia conducted their own investigation and determined that there was no, there were no chemical substances in the volume. the system that was completely ignored. and unfortunately, it's likely we're going to be seeing a similar situation. now. legal and media analysts line also as the wes doesn't need an investigation to blame the only stuff on russia, but turns a blind eye to similar incidents that don't fit the narrative. it's not just the president, it's everyone. now, early this morning i heard a, a rather, i won't mention the network, but somebody said that obviously this was, instead of all these depths was done as of a has drive the direction of the russian government. and therefore, this is reason why we should have more support, or there should be more support for ukraine. and i'm thinking,

i don't even understand this connection. if i may bring up to suggestions, because when it comes to certain death, our media are very quick, or rather we'd love to hear the case of gonzalez lira. this is an american citizen who died reportedly, theoretically from pneumonia, while in ukrainian custody. if this logic transpires, if it is the whole truth, then if an american citizen is killed and ukrainian custody should ukrainian funding be stopped. whereas ukrainian funding should be increased. if for, if a russian dies, i'm not even sure of the calculus of this. so that's number one, there's been no mention of this at all. and we've asked, this is an american citizen. we're asking your own officials. i find fascinating is number one and how quickly people are able to ascertain forensic pathological

report pathology. number 2, how quick a name or a theme or a belief system can be, can be a range. number 3, the for ross of the of it and how fast it's it occurs without anybody asking any questions. i mean, just, i would venture to say that if there was a lot of the said, you cannot mention on western media, anything about mr. devonte. unless you're able to say who he is or what he was and what he stood for, what he did, i don't think you should be able to comment. but that's not going to stop anybody because at the, at, as you know, when a name or a troll becomes popular, nothing can stop us. that's all for now. but stay tuned for great programming. we'll see you at the top of the hour.

the
