[000:00:00;00] the, this is our t international. my name's you the 30 minutes of use and you start not including with this as the adf, ongoing offensive pills. scores of people at gals is el cheapo hospitals. since monday images emerge, reporting to show doctors and journalists being detained on blindfolded by the is really army all to a head on the program, a top your premium official insults the senior chinese diplomats on live television deliberately using upset, etc, investor nights, and hit on pollings president claims russia is preparing for a direct confrontation with nato,

saying it will happen within the next 2 years of winning based on solid evidence are simply fear mongering. my the walk into the program. let's get into our top story this hour. more than a 140 people have been killed and some 600 did change. over the past 4 days, i'll ship a hospital in northern cal. so as the adf continues, the storm, the enclaves, largest health facility id video footage shows is really troops conducting what they call empty terrorist operations of the hospital. i will schafer sheltered thousands of fleeing thousands during the conflict. israel sage, their operation has killed scores of policy and the entire risk. i'm seeing your home us officials on this lubbock g had fighters have been captured,

but local officials play med civilians who have been left dead. some of our chief has displaced also a ledge. the idea of humiliated, mistreated them the ship, lee is really forces besieged and stormed oci for hospital. while we were displaced there. after 2 and a half days under siege, we ran out of food and water. we had nothing to eat or drink though. so what made things even worse is that i have little children, no model, including a newborn. finally, we raised white flags from the windows along with another family about miss leah's railey forces evacuated us a little there they made us take off our clothes and all that took all our belongings and handcuffed us and the food on verified image is circulating online, purportedly show the abuse of doctors and media workers of al chief of the reports, claim, health care stuff. we're a forced out into the cold with a close to reiterate, the idea is just the following. it's rates on the hospital by saying senior,

how must militants were hiding? their local journalist sees the situation to el cheapo has nothing short of dire. these really forces detained all the doctors and al chief a hospital. i see you patients are left without any medical care. all the doctors they arrested were stripped and humiliated. washington is concerned for the safety of journalists. that was the us state department response when a spokes person was asked why the by the administration has been keeping silent about the treatment of reporters by intro. take a look. my point is when will they that states that i say that this cannot keep on going with jar list that are credential that have worked at 4 year after year decade after decade when onto those ratings. went on to this with why do they keep taking them, targeting even kidding them and presenting them with impunity? why is that not

a trade just to you site when we talk about continuing to press israel to enhance its mechanisms to better protect civilians. we of course, are also talking about extending that to journalists as well. we are always concerned for the safety of journalist, especially in conflict globe zones, especially in somewhere like gaza. well, my colleague, nicky are in earlier spoke to them. i'm making the point side of the couch, the washington bureau chief of the policy now crowds, daily. he stays the is really offensive at the hospital, can be considered a work. and the, as she find particularly, is also a refuge. a lot of people go there to take shelter to take their kids to as we've seen. and there was, but that would be with the person that you a spoke with as part of my colleagues. same thing to his family and it was with him . we don't know what happened to him or his family. you know, he was taken away strip down and so, and so it is a word crime is that goes on time after time with no other age except to continue

the human eye. the 1000 in to continue and the exact correct, correct, revenge. i don't know for what, but the obviously with no political or meditate and because obviously medicare laser is not achieving as well. so it takes it out on such facilities a summer saying that it's a journalists, a being targets in an attempt to silence what, what's going on at the out see, for medical, complex hunting dogs or in general. do you think that's an accurate assessment? what i presume is read has always done this to, to your listening. people say go through with say, what do you say do i was they think i'm sure in a box or they think a for the $150.00 that had been killed since it is right away this for the ongoing or on gaza. really slot that it's not a war. and but the slower on gaza, but actually waiting for that. i mean then you do your list palestinian journalist from my newspaper from other newspapers on television stations and so on. had been

targeted and killed in its estimated and prison. they annandale, to actually basically stuff out. the truth, i mean, mine was able to publish is a, and, you know, there's a lot because we are under occupation and jerusalem. and for years and years and years when we went over to them and the print edition was great swats so for empty space, because the sensor went take it out completely. so they have as red as always done . that is good, but not in an art field. study cannot tell the truth and therefore it is just not that out. but what top ukrainian official has insulted us senior chinese diplomatic during a live interview. he made a play on words with the mom surname using a crude curse where take a look. the schools in the nothing was the was the most of the vehicle was.

the promotion is as soon as we say that the boy sample was done. so we might as well as camp, continues to face mounting defense on the battlefield. it's clear that ukraine's the secretary of the national security and defense council, i would say to neil of this, resorting to some low brow tactics name, calling essentially the chinese representatives last name way resembles a very nasty crude word in russian and ukrainian. which essentially means penis in english, and so after leeway came to crane looking to bring the conflict closer to peace. mister the new of thought it would be appropriate to make fun of the special representative from china. his last name. there's no room for misinterpretation here either because you can see clearly on the video that the humor was not lost on the anchors that were conducting this interview. but it's also no secret that the new of has taken issue in the past with chinese, with china's position on a potential peaceful resolution of the conflict in ukraine. specifically that

beijing says they will not participate in any sort of peace negotiations that do not include moscow at the negotiating table. nevertheless, china's foreign ministry has said that it's still going to continue to try to work towards a peaceful solution. have been some of the cases that he created and politicians up throwing out in souls like these 2 people who they disagree with. this is what have kids diplomacy tactics? well, that's definitely true. i mean, ukrainian officials have a very long track record of this, a throwing insults that politicians for whether it be all love salts, calling him liver worst store, saying that indians and chinese people are weak minded. joe, probably my easy guy. what is the problem with india? china and so on. and the problem of these countries is that they do not analyze the consequences of their own steps. the intellectual potential of these countries is unfortunately weak. i sound like an offended dilemma was doesn't sound very statesman like we are not ready to give our freedom to this generous bulletin.

that's it. now, in the past, not much has been done about this nasty rhetoric from t of, so it's not likely that it's going to erupt into a political scandal, but it sure does represent some sort of desperation and key of when nasty words and insults are used to basically replace what is lacking on the battlefield. what are to contribute are carl john say's it's clear. ukraine isn't serious about improving its dialogue with beijing. what are they even doing at this point? how does this even help you frame it? does it? and china is call me or process on is pro good. china has a pro se is willing to take on the role of a broker for peace between ukraine and russia. and present 20 set fees. receptive to is a chinese proposal smell. we know, let's not gonna pretend ukraine is a sovereign nation at this point because we know there could have been peace back

in march 2022 except for it's johnson concept and tell you printing off visuals to call it off because europe will have new cranes back, which is ridiculous statement and, and it was highly unprofessional. i don't think the chinese will even pay any mind to this because they're, they understand these uh, these, these ukrainian clause, they're just pump. these are their puppies of the west of washington. and now to have a real cheese, a commitment to cheese, it's not up to the latest b and his l. c is really, you know, he has to wait for the whole a, from ne, to, and from washington to that unless the questions, what do these ukraine all fish or do. i mean, i mean like really if you look at the resume of the ukraine, president zalinski and his former career is a comedian, maybe that's what they know bass, you know, macy o'clock, show of himself. but again, that does not help you. great,

you does not have you crazy people, a does not create peace. the polish president and test claim russia is preparing for war with nato, according to upgrade to the most school engaged in a direct confrontation in the next 2 years. a lot in some way of, of different from my point of view. it's a question of common sense. i've got some new reports coming in, and i recently saw one by tell my next, but we said that soon pops as early as 2026 or 2027 mostly boots in by putting this economy on a wolf with thing. we have such a military, might they who be able to attack and they type okay, then the alarm bells ringing. suddenly we have 2 or 3 years in which we can increase our efforts, that people stop pulling munitions and produce weapons to maximize european security. get ready and make sure the invasion doesn't happen. well, mr. do that about russia and must be stopped in ukraine in order to avoid war with nato. that top polish general echoed his presence plain as well,

saying that moscow is preparing for us spend off with nato on poland in turn will respond this same way. we'll see with full clarity, the change is taking place in russia and we're drawing conclusions from this to put it simply rushes, preparing for a conflict with nature, with full awareness of the fact that the alliance is a defensive structure. let's discuss what's been going on. then with former us army officers found this love trip. next live on the program. you are very welcome, sir. russia has repeated least stated, it will not attack any nato country yet. poland is liter appears to know something at we don't. what's your view on this? well, well this is a, a, a sign up with a sign up operation. uh, 2 step uh, the 1st step is to prepare the people for you. give them a slightly further out verizon 2 years, 5 years or further even as far as 10 years to start preparing

a mentally debt this worst calling right once they prepare mentally. and it's not gonna take very long because uh, the reason for being poland is, uh, uh, tend to amount to a national cat characterised. uh, once you've prepared a seal, then you start working on the, we need to strike 1st. first strike, we'll go in, we hit them so that they never come close to one. it doesn't matter what the russian side sense that either gets absolutely ignored in the media or gets drowned out. so what's really prepared for is accounts like that's gotta be within the next couple months. so maybe to the next up a year and they're going to take, didn't, they should have stopped the you will russians for they can get to the boys more publicly, at least in europe. you have the vision over whether or not at nato involvement should happen. know though you've got this push by the polish leader, making

a warning come threats. and you've also got francis leader at very actively trying to get nato troops on you printing and store on poland saying that they had heard the issue from germany. so there appears to be behind the scenes, some kind of link. it all appears to be coming at once. it's not a fair point. it is, it, is there already been reports uh, from the publish side. uh, they spotted uh, large units most uh, several 100, maybe a 1000, a french soldiers uh, near the re grading and border in, in poland. uh there. do the, just be sure to be moved in. if any of this nato doesn't have to go into the home, and yes, many native countries don't want to go in. however, uh, once you get a goal issue of france full and check the pre baltics going in. and once of course, kinetic engagement begins, in other words, they start getting killed and then it will, that's going to start sucking in the other nato know, one way or the other because the war is now here,

the words now expand. those are sitting on the, on the fence line so you like the germans, when a spanish are all going to get pulled in and get or is, are probably stay out of more likely to swamp to stay out. a good example gatherings may, may not, they may have a revolution on their hands. they are trying to push just hoops and there really isn't going to happen. and that's going to come across your us outside of forces that are already in the area. i think that us is going to spell, they're going to play the long game she was wearing. i'll see all the find goes whether or not they're going to go in and risk themselves, or the europeans will be tossed on the bus. right. and if i, if i feel like they're ready, all right, awesome. awesome. just a word in germany. you mentioned the country of the polish president based his claim on information from quote, german experts, thomas lab. but if we talk about germany earlier, this month of discussion was courts of berlin's military officials at talking about attacking rushes. try me in bridge, that very much begs the question,

who is actually preparing for war here? oh, it's absolutely new. nato is not a defense organization. it was started as a defense organization. well, it was started to, it was starting the process of, of being a defense of organization, but it was never about defense. remember from my 1948 stall and i actually asked to join, do you want to have a sense of organization and keep your peaceful, keep all the major parties in your native from day one was the way for us to control your and it's still, it's now, does the us wanna engage in a full scale war? i present, probably not. will it sacrifice the europeans? why not? of course, that's not an issue for both. the, the american, uh, and the american slang for western western europeans is how much more of a eastern europeans. so why not sacrifice moves actively ready, door draining and looking up

a day and they're pushing out further and further into what discussions. and it's only going to benefit the us in the long run if the us going to avoid engagement. so i can't help thinking though, that european nations are trying to put together a sense of unity in case donald trump gets into the white house again in november. and then the republican lawmakers, you know, all their hesitation, all the resistance becomes even more per nods. do you have that feeling that maybe europe was relying on us telling them what to do before the sonata, they realized, well, we're in this alone. we've got to make up our own ideas. now, i know it's like they're making up ideas. actually, i don't think they have any ideas. they still have marching orders. there is confusion because their big plan was project on labs. and we get resources along with the u. s. squared rush or optic that i did call on is ation. and they call it . we get resources and we get, it's like it's

a big gamble and we're like tables and the gambled salt through. so now what do we use a double down or you walk away, walking away as much. we're not for about an additional. it's basically the same economy is only going through and it's broad parts of his own, a population into over volts. so what's left? doubling down. we're also give some an escape at least temporary escape because if you have more, all your political enemies go away. you didn't put them in jail, you shut down any demonstration with the farmers reserve out of the plan to get rid of that political, the stuff very, very quickly. all right, if you look at, are you ready as to call when you it was incredibly draconian, autocratic loss, uh, share any criticism. nato care is up to a 3 year prison for germany. if you take a position on russia or other key topics outside of what the government says, 3 to 5 years and you must be freed as your account. the moment they level charges

that she has been try with your account unfroze and you can't really so right and so on, so on. and it's only going to get worse as a further this goes along the more uh, uh, autocratic, the more draconian laws in europe. we're going to get started population for most of the reasons right now we have about 30 seconds, but i just want to fit in this one question. what happens if nature puts boots on the ground and you create more work as uh, as uh, is already been said from the bottom of it. um, oh, good. don't story such a lot out. it's federal very correctly. any fresh troops that appear are going to be destroyed and so on is it will be more, i mean, any illusions. and that's a problem with that because they're, they're very much under the illusion that it's never shows up. but i shall fall on these beg for beast, and they'll dictate terms and then they want it it's, it's a, it's a hell of a long shot. such a long shot probably is,

are much dryer than any chance of success, but they don't. so you don't want a desperate enough and they're willing to try. thank you so much. hope we speak again soon. thanks for your tech us army officer as found this love for us army officer, excuse me, spelled this up for picnic. and another aspect to this i want to mention remain in merson res, have admitted to taking part in terrace. raids on russian border regents now does, according to claims published on their social media. that's journalist on call them is sonia funding in de says, europe is all a dangerous path to escalation in ukraine to my own opinion. i think the already a long time and you know, invoked into war because sending weapons to ukraine. they to weapons german weapons or whatever. yeah, you are, you know, part of the war because with your weapons, you are shooting and russian people, russian soldiers. but this is because of extra damage you know,

may remain here. legion is inside. it's taking that i think the little boy you know, do your best know that's very dangerous. we know relative george and legions are there. yeah, i see similarities with, with the syrian war because they have a they called the leader. like for instance, old direction. i tell you the free lead you his name is caesar well, they had this similar name in the syria as well, supposedly. you know, if this a now prison, there, they will, the evidence came out. but this particular know many of the to is you are going to, you were the legion and, well it, it's just an extra step towards war with nature we can say. and i think it's the very dangerous situation. let's hope between up escalate. but i'm afraid because all the think it's coming out of you're saying just we didn't try to use they have to refresh on. so it's very terrible. dangerous situation.

a 16 year old ukrainian with political refugee status has been detained for attacking migrants in malone. according to a tele and media reports, the legend, new nazi suspect, was captured on video severely beating as victims to the same archer like a national footage from the subway camera show. a strongly built young man wearing militarized clothing violently be taken apart and strangers, milan and police have detained the teenager for allegedly committing a series of attacks between the end of february under the march. when a tele enough authority searched his parents left the seas nazi propaganda on the chevy with the words white power engraved on it. and tell the journalist on war, correspondent, i'm 3 lucida, told me new nazi ideology is descending on europe. while authorities pretend not to notice, it is very pity to see that uh from my ukraine . uh, coming any police such type of people. uh, you know,

i expected to such case uh, not only tell me about the your job because uh, since the early february of 22, we saw a lot of ukrainian vet though nova, as of tyler on such organization like these that uh try to call me you are playing phone on a scratch on it. and uh, now this uh, this, i the old address, this idea uh can invade your, of the european authority under your pin for dish. and then to not see these cases, they pretend to report to the people that these are i select the case. uh not uh, not com on that in nothing, nothing depend from the situation in ukraine from the problem. also known as,

as many ukraine bought into effect. this is a consequence of what's happened. you can not only since 2000 to 2022, but in the past 2 years, during the last 10 years. when you can, these a be a, these are the kinds ation are going on without municipal. the american observers who oversaw the recent russian presidential election are reported sleeping, threatened by the us government outs, according to sweden bass. professor greg simons, who took part in the pull of himself as a moment or earlier at washington, one that everyone taking part in voting in russia's new territories could face prosecution as the united states will continue to use all available tools to hold accountable those individuals responsible for actions that undermine the

sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of free countries, including those who serve as election observers for the criminal sham elections and occupied parts of ukraine will over a 1000 to international observers marshall the ballot. they came from a $129.00 countries all across the world, including europe on north america, the overall voting turnouts among the russian public, which 77 percent higher indeed. and the new regions to the spike washington is planes out. the election was on democratic many monitors said the reality was different from the western because we arrived and started work early in the morning . we visited 3 holding stations of the process is very well organized. we believe that these elections are being conducted properly in accordance with the international electoral standards. what do we want to wish to the russian people so that the voting takes place in good condition? there is peace in the country. the, my anecdotal, you know,

the receptionist that people feel excited about. people are lined up here at 7 am to vote even though it didn't open till 8. so that says something again, i don't want to draw too big inclusions because that wouldn't be fair. and i tried it from there, but i certainly did. things are not as the west i see very friendly people and very, very happy to for most of them to read. i expected you to be a beads to be a bit difficult to do all of these process these electron that you like to watch. you discover these, but uh it was very beautiful dental. well, one of those observers speaking there, let's talk live with down the called like us human and labor rights lawyer

unobserved for indeed of the russian presidential election done good to see you. there's been a part in threats from the us government made against those americans who oversaw the pallets here. have you felt that have you heard anything in that regard? well yes. in fact, when i arrived in chicago, i was greeted by 2 customs agents who are waiting for me. and they pulled me aside and interrogated me about my visit to russia. what was said to well, they wanted to know why was there, where i, when to funded, etc. so wasn't so much that they made any statements to me, but they wanted to know what i was doing and it, you know, i was very honest. one thing you never want to do is lie to a federal law enforcement official and i was honest that i went to the hair. so an old last which is probably

a red flag for them. so we'll see if there's follow up. but, you know, literally this has never happened to be worth customs officers were actually waiting. uh, you know, for me as the plain door open. so obviously i've gotten their attention. had you been expecting anything like that? upon arriving, i was bracing myself because of the video you showed from the state department. they said that they were going to hold people accountable, who were of election observers. and he singled out the people in the new regions in what was ukraine now? is russia and that's where i was and they are sano bloss okay. can we actually talk about your experience a little bit then at on, did you, did you witness anything in terms of violations when you were here? because you saw quite a lot at was there anything in the voting in the counting procedures that,

that looked in this? no, not at all. i mean things went very smoothly, but the system was set up so that you had a secret ballot. you know, you went behind in a curtain to be able to, to fill on a paper ballot which was then put into a, a transparent box there to be counted later. and they showed us the system. they had to collect the ballots in a secure way. so that they could be co counted later, and so all, all votes would be counted and all by the way, you could vote with either a russian or ukrainian passport. either one will do. they did not discriminate against people based on that. and it seemed that people had confidence in the election. it again, it was very calm, it seemed very, you know,

a matter of fact for people and, and they seemed happy to be there. well, we, uh, we hope you have no difficulties in the future as you are just being leading item. but do keep us aware of what occurs in that regard. will be checking in with you at soon. i'm sure it done. thanks for your time today. thank you and, and appreciate you as done called black human on labor rights lawyer. i'm server up to 2024 russian presidential election. well, that is indeed a rop for this news hour. i'll be back in a run, searching it with the stories effecting your world today live from moscow. this is our to introduction the
