both for the legend sake of saving 2 is rarely hostages. plus western politicians and media are quick to blame off, though for the death of controversial political activist, electing the ball the in prison. even before the incident is fully investigated. the coming to live from moscow. this is the weekly with the top stories of today, and the past week i'm 0 is about the russian military has officially taken full control of the city of, of df got in the don yet republic. the strategic location has the months of relentless battles with ukrainian troops, suffering thousands of casualties, and be forced to flee in disarray. according to moscow. the because local, the literal through creating on forces commander in chief, serious key to bending the city was issued only day after you creating troops

became fleet on control from the measures are currently being taken to finally clears the city of the militants and block. you trainings we need staff left to city and hold up at the difficult and chemical plant deliberation of div care has made it possible to move the funds line away from the nets, thereby significantly securian from the terrace attacks by the criminal regime in key information on the defense of our troops was not transmitted until the enemy had been completely defeated and the city had been taken under control. this is a big deal. it's a very strategic point as well. the ukranian forces have been 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 friends, the colleagues over that and say they say the among the opinions there is chaos. a huge number of the troops would be the band and, and updates. but will they be told by reviewing the reviews of the job, they never even heard the will this, the 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 the for rushing fire control. and this is called

cynthia always under attack. so the, they have to, it's a groups tried for the absolute chaos which is backed by the number of 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 of your show, who has the heads told i'm full vladimir putin 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 over to his be liberated with quite a incredibly quickly again, because the gradients get the will the, to retrieve robin with solvents upon thousands of the troops being that encircled with a pause. 24 hours more than

a 1000. a 1500. you credited true for either killed or taken captive? we'd have taken it isn't over. let me tell you, it isn't over this. still carrying out the the, the 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 pinions, realizing the importance of update because it is difficult to the states. this would change it. importance of, of data because it could that sort of the roads to the railroad track food tubs. it also has a, 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 credit because it had been preparing up div that's for 8 long years. you'd have thousands of thousands of segments use to make bunk goods. pullover of dave around of gave

a very secure location. now that they've pulled out the re really isn't any way for them to hold the line as effectively because new way outside, in respect of the, of the full. we also know that they waited for the announcement of the capture of data 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 ukraine the, 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 the single day they would it be more organization to it that what you're trying to blame the whether you to the general when to and as a little ways to, to try this credit rush and fix it post as hygiene so that there's this positive deb, which is relatively little 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 sort of safety in mind. the more you creating shouts, cluster munitions, being followed out to us. so at the russian. so i said by there was some sites in that stretch while i was in might in the front there, there is, there is, there is less that we should be no shortage of shells and um, being provided for its full 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 blame the loss of updates. one of the toughest baffles of this will. yeah, i mean that is going to be a bit of a humiliating retreat withdrawal for the 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 complet with doing absolutely fine and it here we have as you say, this huge withdrawal from

a very strategic city of do you have 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 hot shots right now. look, this is, this is a, this is the facts of it. it was very difficult to work in when you observe. because new creative intelligence west and intelligence would track not only, and this is what people told me about phones, either journalist when we went to we spoke to. but if we say cold a, an officer, they could track he's location. anything we showed. even if we check to double check the 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 costly but, but it has to be that dependency. now of course,

what restrictions have been lifted and hopefully my, my good friend and colleague egos donald, is over that hopefully you'll be enough to you soon again to show the huge in huge bug isn't amounts of aggravation, west and not be an issue job and the incompetence is as well as all the guy, the me, solid systems, ministry vehicles, abandoned and left by by the u. k. the military 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, 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 jobs. you know, each top russians would come close to a encircling in ukrainian ford way since the last moment. you would have zillow to escape on the table, hold it until the last never take this. and then they give the fact the go to the retreat. do thousands and try to watch that have by blaming the when i hear the

description of a 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 up by hundreds of millions of weapons. 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 other bizarre thing i think is that you have a zalinski and munich, the mandate not requesting dot, asking dot cd for more weapons and munitions. the mandate that the u. s. provides a more weapons or he will no longer consider the us strategic partner. it almost sounds like a teenage girl doing a break ups arrest, which is maybe in line with is that mentality these days. and then the top it off the top, you talk to even if you're in a conference that somebody should consider the assassination of president vladimir . with the chaos going on inside you crate with him replacing his top general with

people's again, protesting the continued construction of their funds and, and an uncles and brothers and sending them to these front lines where there were there killed. maybe zelinski shouldn't be giving anybody any ideas. meanwhile, thousands of taken to the streets of tel aviv to protest netanyahu's government's handling of the war in gaza. well, calling for new elections in israel. 6 the

discontent is mounting and as well as some hostages remain and home off hands while the war on gaza rages on. protesters are also demanding a new cease fire and prisoners swap. deal with the palestinian militants, is rarely police scramble to break a proud blocking a main tel aviv city streets across in jerusalem. hundreds rallied outside the prime ministers, residents voicing the same cause. here's what some of the demonstrators told us. i understand 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 to 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 scientific amounts. years ago, every day we are reading is that this government is destroying 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 st. and the only way in my opinion to bring them down is, was produce. that's why i'm here. now despite the demands of the as rarely public benjamin netanyahu claims elections are the last thing the country needs. he also reaffirm that the idea of will proceed with it's a saw on the southern most causing the city of rasa. we're more than 1000000 displays,

palestinians are sheltering. it is the same. 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 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 idea of stripes on ross off. according to the gauze of health ministry. israel claims that he use the assault as cover to rescue 2 hostages. you might find the following images disturbing.

the look at is this is what happened. these are the 2 monitors 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 for the displaced. it's like a refugee camp. pauses in mos were demolished by dozens of strikes according to accounts from local media, rasa, which is on the border with egypt, is now the most densely packed city indian battled palestinian enclave. with more than 1500000 civilians sheltering there. as a result of the deadly raid, the idea of set had managed to rescue to is riley's who were taken hostage on

october 7th. israel has vowed to continue using force to return more of just ease from dr. or 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 supply possible and to create the conditions for that release. otherwise, the idea finishing that 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 up, as the army says, it's less than an hour. and as a result, 2 hostages were indeed rescued and released. these real says 2 soldiers have been wounded from these really side as well. the country's air forces conducted heavy strikes in rough us to provide cover and support for the troops. the hostages were then taking too,

in his really hospital and their condition is reportedly stable. also pensions of brewing between israel and egypt. all the move in large scale operation in rough, fine, southern parts of the gas, those 3 things real and see the reason urgent need claiming the rossville full battalions also not stationed in that area that have to be eliminated. these will also believes the roster dozens of tunnels that connect gather to age of 10 to collapse them. israel needs to intensified smoke through efforts. the problem is that at least 1200000 gallons are 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 heard. these really get them in spokesperson earlier getting a very vague answer to that, claiming the res, plenty of space and gaza for people to freely move. let's take a listen. how long are you going to give them to leave? and where are they going to go?

you still haven't explained where they're going to go, given that so much is gone. so now is lots of buller open spaces and goals are there are places where it is possible to set off tenzing templates so that civilians can get out of homes way and not allow from us to use them as human shields. while it takes a rather surprise and cynical statement by and his ran the official given dia, conditions, people are held. and here's what the you, when reports about the situation in southern parts of the guns as 3 bride now, in rough uh, southern gaza, there a 1400000 people. tons of kilometers of people living in the streets in plastic, make shift shelters a military offensive in the middle of these completely exposed vulnerable people is a recipe for disaster. i'm all must be coming wordless. the question now is whether israel launches all day or 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 3. but it's really is also hesitating searing to anger, aged official, cairo's as any potential operation at its folders will put relations with israel to a challenge or 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 mass claim that's the operation in the south of gaza will stop all negotiations. and that means that the fates of $134.00 hostages still remaining, inc, if to between gaza, will be unclear. we are now at nissan, of both the crossing between israel and egypt with dozens of protest. her, as you can see behind me, came to try to prevent human hearing aids from going to the guys 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 early on monday . by the way, there was another similar data ring planned as kept him shut long crossing another major entry of the age to the palace seen in place. i'm 50 kilometers from here is really forces blocks the road leading to that check point explaining the area was declared and military zone and didn't allow protest or is on media to pass through . most people believe food, water, and medical and shelter supplies send from these really territory go directly to have mass supporting the militant group is rarely spiked it against in gaza, says left over more than 10000 trucks and to the guy who 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

population have been internally displaced in full months old, these really offensive with more than a 1000000. now crowding around the rough fox in southern parts of this 3 for israel is now when intensive military activity raising concerns about the safety. of course, all civilian guidance there too. young palestinian sisters named sierra and suzanne has so not were among the victims of israel bombing overall for this week. this footage from social media shows them and joining their lives days before the bomb started falling on, cause a neighbor killed by the idea of together with 6 other members of their family. the only survivor of that strength was the brain. how soon he lost both his parents, 2 brothers, 2 nieces and a nephew. abraham recalled the harrowing moments he had to identify their bodies. i'm not sure 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 footage has been circulating online since the is really attack. it reports to show one of abraham's nieces. her body can be seen hanging out of the window of their family home after it was bombed. abraham also spoke about the tragic moment. he found the remains of his relatives among the rubble. excuse me, the end, the targeting was direct. i found them torn apart. they were killed in cold blood with no mercy. i am 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 facilities, they are promising syrians, they are going to the most densely populated areas, to kill as many people as possible. and these images, early images on our screens. uh, you know, just the reflection of what we are saying women, children, men being killed in most or being pushed us from one say starting to the next phase . or there is an estate area. and because of the reality is one of the western was democratic values and policy, you might see and you know, the model i run 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 failed around children and grandchildren . and now is trying to change and be change for people on the ground who are sick and tired of watching. the double standard is the continual lives that can to continue atrocities happening live on

a tv screen as well as we feel that it's unable to do it. and russian authorities are investigating the sudden death of political activist alexi now vall, me in prison on friday dependents. on cherry service as mr. nevada, the 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 play moscow, but russia's foreign ministry responded that it has no time for blame games. the death of alexi and the volunteer has once again demonstrated their her progress, the cynicism and unscrupulous, unless the blame russia in every situation scheme is in action in a short period of time within 2 hours from 1419 western politicians and the media who are at their beck and call 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. us president joe biden personally blamed the russian leader for and of all the stuff who is responsible front of on his desk putting is responsible for over 3 years ago in the meantime, the chase to hell a lot of consequences. meanwhile, kremlin spoke to person to me through past coff has denounced premature assumptions by western politicians regarding the cause of all these death. as an inquiry is still under way the statements of western leaders a quite obvious look. there is no statement for 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 nobody has indeed died political activist . and also we, we should mention, political extremist and russia from and from 2022 onwards, according to the russian government. and the 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 recess to 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 on confirmed ones that he had complained about feeling

bad, but according to russia's social monitoring commission, this is an organization is responsible for looking at for human rights in the country. no official complaints in connection to a state we're 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 penal colony where this took place. and the last piece of information that we do have is that, and of all his lawyer has refused to comment on this 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 what western media people pointing the finger at the russian government. we've seen also the norwegian for administer the lot the and president, the head 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 sol, responsible for this tragic death. alexis, of all need paid with his life for his resistance to a system of oppression. his death and a penal colony reminds us of the reality of let him you're putting the regime read full news about and of only if the report about his death in russian prison is true . it represents another terrible crime by putin's regime. this is something that rushes for administrative spokeswoman. marizza harvest said is really revealing about the west. it's true. attitude to fax and situations like these. the immediate, the reaction of native leaders to nobody needs 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 and of all me, fell ill in 2020 western press, was saying that he was poisoned by the russian guy in 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 fall in the system, but that was completely ignored. and unfortunately, it's likely we're going to be seeing a similar situation now. legal and media analysts, lionel says the west does it need an investigation to blame of all the 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 at the behest or as 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 that you paid in 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 for the fee. 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 and we're asking our own officials. i find fascinating is number one to 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 rice 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 one west or 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 to offer now. but stay tuned for an analysis on the causes and consequences of the arabs spring up next on our tea doc. red alert, the arab spring will see you at the top of the hour the
