the the commercial takes full control of the page on yes, for public safety of the following month, the 5th baffles the sol ukrainian troops retreats off the suffering mass. i'd love to get another week of deadly idea of slides on the palestinian n k. if including a devastating ray that killed more than 50 low pools full, the alleged stake of saving, who is waiting hostages, plus western politicians on media quick to play most go for the depth of controversial political activist, alexi, nevada, and the in prison. even before the incident is fully investigated, the

hello and welcome. you're watching the weekly on all the international bringing you the latest world news update and on with a round up the stories that dominates that the week. it's great to have you with us . now i top story this, our, the russian military has officially taken full control of the city of i've the, i've gotten the don't, yes we're public based retain, take location has seen months of when leg plus baffles with ukranian troops, software and thousands of casualties. i'm being forced to flee in this array that's according to mosca, the because local, the order or through creating on forces commander in chief, serious key to bending the city was issued only day after you creating troops became fleet uncontrolled. some of these measures are currently being taken to finally clears the city of the militants and block ukrainians. we need staff left the city and hold up at the difficult and chemical plant deliberation of director has made it possible to move the front line or 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 fred is the colleagues over the and say they say that among the opinions there is chaos. a huge number of the troops of being abandoned and update . what will they be told by radio, with radios of the job? they never even heard the will this to retrieve. 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 did. isn't that for rush and 5 control in this is called cynthia, always under attack so that they have to it's many groups tried for the absolute chaos which is backed by the numbers the be put, the liberation of, of these go, 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 to the show who has the heads to let me approve of victory. and if difficult, he was also given us some details. you know, a very of the size of what fits you to supply can over to his be liberated with quite a incredibly quickly again, because the gradients get the will to, to retrieve robin with solvents upon thousands of the troops being that encircled with a pause. 24 hours more than 800-8500. you credited to fly either killed or taken captive. they said it isn't over. let me tell you. it isn't over the still carrying out the, the, the refuge that there is of the multi story apartment buildings. there is also, it must be said about up to an underground city. it is an underground city. without the exaggeration of the past. a key is the pinions,

realizing the importance of updates that it is difficult to. but steve, this would change it importance of, of data because it could that sort of the roads to the railroad track full tubs. it also has a, the subtraction system. the wonderful tracing plot that supplies drinking water to move in to 1000000 people it. so it is a huge loss for you credit because it has been preparing the div that's for 8 long years. you know, thousands of thousands of submitted to use to make bunk goods, whatever of dave around of dave to 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 but the announcement of the capture of data until they were absolutely sure because the bachelors a get k austin. there are so many gradients, so trapped in the re about had advancing brushing

a sort of troops 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. they're also trying to blame the weather. you get a general winter and as a ways to, to try this credit rush and fix it. cost is hodgin. so that there's this positive deb, which is relatively little to this, this top of the also it must be said, you have units in out the way you put it in a faithful. so you get it. this is all because of you. this is what because you didn't give us enough shelves. that isn't true. 2 weeks ago, i was just south of the money, the more you paid in child's cluster, munitions being followed out to us. so at the russian. so i said by the russian sites in that stretch while i was in money for the front there, there is, there is,

there is less that was sent me no shortage of shells and um, being provided with store with you. great. so blaming these on the shortage of weapons of the weather is, is an attempt to navigate and his government to offer blade for the loss of data. one of the toughest factors 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 conflict with doing absolutely fine and it here we have as you say, this huge withdrawal from a very strategic city of jessica that are 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 gotta keep it pretty much hot shots right now. look, this is, this is a, this is the facts of it. and 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 you don't get and then this way and 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 checked the double trip to triple check, could be used to get special thoughts. and so we would, we would in the age of people's lives 55 by showing certain things that have different vehicles, an operation that was long in the making long it was very valid. it was cost me, but that has to be a limited sequence. now of course, what restrictions can be lifted and hopefully my, my good friend and colleague ego does donald reserve and hopefully you'll be enough to you soon again to show the huge and huge bug isn't amounts evaluation, where noonish job and incompetence is as well as of the guided, let me, solid systems ministry vehicles abandoned and left behind 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 auto mall, ca bach, mood as well. that was another significant frontline in the seats city. this the full in the same in the same way. there was of course, but you but that was possible. that was sort of that, that was easy chance. you know, each time russians would come close to encircling in many of ways until the last moment. you would have zillow, escape on the table, hold it until the last 11. take this and then they give the fact the good, the retreat do thousands and tries the most that have by blaming the way, i hear the description of a baby behind all these munitions is in weapons and americans supplied weapons in droves as they were, treat it sounds kinda like the withdrawal from afghanistan for the by the administration left up mind, hundreds of millions of weapons, maybe tomorrow is over there, instructing them on how to 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, mandy not requesting dot, asked him doc cd for more weapons and munitions. mandate that the u. s. provides more weapons or he will no longer consider us as strategic partner. it almost sounds like a teenage girl doing a break ups arrest, which is maybe in line with his mentality these days. and then the top it off the top, he talked to, even if i'm in a conference that somebody should consider the assassination of president vladimir putin with the chaos going on inside you frame with him. replacing his top general with people. 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 until maybe zelinski shouldn't be given anybody in the audience. the west. it should, it might indeed speaking to multiple options in dealing with other countries. that's what a new deal is for a minute to sit at. the munich secures

a conference directly to his us, in germantown, suppose who tries to grow him about india is brewing trade with russia. your questions? do we have multiple options on says yes. is that a problem? why should it be a problem if i'm smart enough to have multiple options? so it should be on my end. you know, you shouldn't be criticized. it's very hard to find a you need, i mention relationship. now again, defend countries and defend relationships have different categories. so i agree, but he wants to talk to tony said, which is a good box most provide choices, swap populous, take some of those choices model. sometimes that will be choices on which you would say, well, you know, i think a lot of lots, up on the you mean the programs also agents to back the united states of america as well as germany do try to give graves on

a minister in relation to off relationship with russia by yes, uh, uh, bottom and they're still both very good. the daughter, he was very e t c times he was very, very straightforward. no. got to be sure we are going to pop a lot of pressure far from florida to south. any of the 3 you have to go to college, said time in the game that is on the be, i mean the by the 19th we have the right to choose those bar on the bottom relation as well as far as the tanami operation. so if you remember to read that sheets went to watch summons also in the valley there was a song going stanzas, ramsey with several copies trying to are, you know, really costly in relation to install the relationship, the relationship with russia, it's a tiny business. the relationship,

it's the relationship reduce that on what is the, you know, 70 to 80 years old. and we build off the chapel sciences relationship and will do the same as the family saying solve any of the country. and we have been very clear on this. i mean, early this week, more than 50 civilians including children, were killed and nighttime id of strikes on russell. as, according to the gauze, the health industry is well planned to use the assault as comma to rescue to hostages. you might find the following footage, disturbing. the

front of it 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, houses and mosques where demolished by dozens of strength, according to accounts from the local media. russell, which is on the boulder with egypt, is now the most densely packed city in the and thoughtful, palestinian, and today, with more than 1500000 civilian sheltering that as a result of the dad's me raise, the idea of said managed to rescue 2 hostages he was seized by her mouse on october . the 7th is well, has vowed to continue using force to return more deputies from casa small hostages, hold on $134.00 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 false web possible and to create the conditions for the release. otherwise, the idea of 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 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 force has conducted heavy strikes in rough us to provide cover and support for the troops. the hostages were then taking to and is really hospital and their condition is reportedly stable. also pensions of brewing between israel and egypt ha, the lumen large scale operation in the rough, fine southern parts of the gases, 3 base railing system. the reason urgent need claiming the russ still full

battalions all for math stations 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 is real, needs to intensified smoke through average. 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 hurt. these really get them in spokes person earlier, getting 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're 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 up tempting templates 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 diag conditions people are held. and here's what the you, when reports about the situation in southern parts of the guns as 3 bribe. 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 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 gaskins 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 boulders,

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 moves while some mass 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, inc, if to between gaza, will be unclear. we are now at 2 minutes on both the crossing between israel and egypt with dozens of protest or is that 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 shortly on monday. by the way, there was another similar gathering planned as kept him shut long crossing another major entry of the age to the palace standing in place. i'm 50 kilometers from here

is really forces blocked the road, leading to that check point explaining the area was declared and military zone and didn't allow protests 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, spite to the gainst 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 $2300000.00 population happening internally displaced in full months old, these really offensive with more than a 1000000. now, crowding around the rough fox and southern parts of the street for israel is now when intensive military activity raising concerns about the safety, of course,

of civilian guidance. their russian authors hayes are investigating the southern death of political activist, alexei novelle, and the in prison on friday. the penitentiary service says mister developer became ill off the cons. lost consciousness off the which medics were unable to revive him . he was 47 years old. the west was quick to play most go, but wash as foreign ministry responded that it has no time for playing games to the death of alexi, nevada. and he has once again demonstrated their her parker seat cynicism and unscrupulous and this blame russia. and every situation scheme is inaction in a short period of time within 2 hours from $1419.00 western politicians and the media who are at their beckon 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. he was president verified and has personally blames the russian leader

phone of that on these death. 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. i mean, spokes pass and dimitria pass golf has denounced premature assumptions by western politicians were diving because they've been found. these dest, as an inquiry, is still underway. 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 as i end. 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 save that. and i've only 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 rushes social monitoring commission, this is an organization that's 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 our chief who says that that he died from a blood clot, but this again, yes, it has yet to be confirmed by the authorities of penitentiary service said 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 these 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 western media, people pointing the finger at to the russian government. we've seen also the norwegian, foreign minister, the lot the and president, the head of the european commission. all saying that the, 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 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 vladimir putin through jean. read for

news about no volney. 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 administrators spokeswoman marizza harvest said is really revealing about the west's true attitude to fax and situations like these. the immediate, the reaction of need 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. stuff. 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. when we seen similar situations like when nev only felt ill in 2020, the 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 involved, the system that was completely ignored. and unfortunately, it's like they were going to be saying in a similar situation. now they were opinions heavy function policies now seem to be turning against them. despite the best efforts by western countries to day stabilize the russian economy. countries g d p times by 3.6 percent in 2023 outpacing both the u and u. s. according to the official fate goes on the economic slump, in some e u countries or a testament to the failing promise is if the need is also contributed original mazda and brings his name on the story of the wes team. unity is really sticking together, just like drowning victims then clinging to each other. after germany's own national statistics office forecasted a 2 year economic slump in the wake of a 0.3 percentage point dropping g d p last year,

saving high energy and living costs. now it's the case turn to drop into recession . also with a 0.3 percent dropped in g d p at the end of last year, that was even greater than what economists had even predicted. all according to official figures, the finance minister blames high inflation. so the cost of food and energy that spiked when europe decided to slack financial sanctions and constraints on its own . cheap gas supplier, russia. but hey, there's an obvious solution for europeans looking for a more reasonable. busy cost of living. so i'm not exactly current on the prices, but here's what the cost of moscow. 647 roubles. so that is exactly 7 dollars, 7 dollars and 5 cents. i think in for that we got to cheeseburgers large fries, large colla a coke knock off and

a piece of chocolate cake. so we weren't guessing what this would cost. however many, here's something i'd say it's buy groceries and we didn't pay any sensitive causes . we're just putting in the car where we would actually eat over a week. and we all came in around 400 bucks, about 400 bucks. and it was a $104.00 us here. and that's when you start to realize that audiology maybe doesn't matter as much as you thought, corruption. if you take people standard of living and you tank is true filled, and crime and inflation. and they literally can't buy the groceries they want. at that point, maybe it matters less what you say, whether you're a good person or a bad person, you're reckoning people's lives in their country. and that's what our leaders have done to us. and coming to a russian grocery store, the heart of people and seeing what things cost and how people with it will radicalize you against our leaders. that's how i feel any way radical or i'm making any of this up by the way at all. so yeah, your opinions to just go do their shopping and dining in the most sanction country

on earth. the same nation that the countries currently dipping underwater into recession said that they were going to drown as far back as 2022, a congress from engaged. the russian economy is collapsing. boot is to get the money, but he can hardly spend it. and time is not working for russia, it is working against russia. nobody wants to invest in bullshit anymore. put in, con, keep this up for much longer. this war will eventually come to an end by shipping the russian economy to the core. and we are in the process of doing so seems of all focusing on all the ways that they were going to implode, the russian economy, these leading european countries mostly just ended up showing how it's done on themselves, is dramatically bad. we can't go on like this. overall, we need to invest more in this country again and get economic growth going. now that the wind is really blowing across the country, it becomes clear, but we have failed to address and the last few days kids. well,

that sounds like good news actually. maybe now that matter for it, quote, wind blowing across the country is a german economy minister, cause it could power up the german industry and prevent the overseas exit as to countries that actually have a reliable energy supply. well, the same economy minister was busy bragging about reducing his own shower times. contrast all that with what russian president vladimir putin has been saying about russia's economy, maybe scales last year's economic growth was higher than expected. precious gdp increased by 3.5 percent according to our calculations and by 3.6 percent according to the latest data. this has happened in the world average globally, this figure averages 3 percent. economies of developed countries are growing by an average of 1.5 percent. all of this is in line with the international monetary 5 is own upgraded assessment of the russian economy for 2024 and upward revision of another 0.6 percent growth over its october 2023 projected resulting in

a project at 2.6 percent growth forecast for russia in 2024, and a 1 point one percent growth forecasts for 2025. specifically the i m. s. site slide military spending and domestic consumption. so 2 things that are totally the result of western actions against russia, whether it's making weapons used in ukraine, against nato, back forces, or sanctions boosting russian domestic consumption and production. so it looks like the wes grand plan to destroy the russian economy is here's a bit of a snag and this recession stops, seems to be quite contagious. even japan has been hit losing its spot as the world's 3rd largest economy in enabling germany, even in its pitiful state right now to move up in the 3rd place behind the us and china. as for the u. k. well, it's now reporting a 2nd and consecutive quarterly decline says technically a recession with

a greater economic contraction, then anticipated. apparently no one tipped off, the british prime minister though is that then moving right down the road is yeah, he has a full cross journey at the confirmation of recession exposed as a government, as a prime minister, completely out of touch with the realities on the grounds. a government that for too long has on the economic failure with complacency, content to be the manages of decline. but she soon claims that he has a plan but the plan is not working.
