the, the one civilian is killed and the latest ukrainian strikes on the russian borders to the rod hitting a heavy populated residential area. the, as the run up most is really offensive kills at least $140.00. and god says, i'll ship a hospital this week. this place the civilians are forced to flee the medical complex, where they saw shelter, taxi and them house party and let them in out 1st, without any clothes. and then they left the women house and i'm making us hold our hands up. the 1st is to go to this house. it has been a no dead zone since its silver. one of the 40 threes, really communities along the border with 11 on in the north. the turns into ghost towns. they report from northern israel, which has turned into a no man's land amid escalating cross border stripes between the ideas and has the

law in 11 on the and a topic printing official in salt, a senior chinese diplomat by mocking his name on live television. the they are watching r t international. we're covering the top news stories from around the world. i'm rachel ruble. the russian city of belgrade has come under a 1st strike from across the border by the ukrainian military killing at least one civilian sto. warning you might find the following image is disturbing. a local woman was killed while walking. her dogs as a shell landed right near her on the road. another video from the city shows several cars on fire near a large residential building. that area was apparently hit by a ukrainian missile oppression, emergency services have been dispatched to the same well,

this comes after local authorities ordered a temporary evacuation of civilians, mostly children from areas near the border with ukraine. the displaced russians will be accommodated and at least 11 other regions of the country. the neighboring varnish region has already taken in some 50 families. from belgrade the refugees are expected to stay there for several weeks. while officials have pledged to provide them with a central supplies, we heard from some of the civilians who have been evacuated. scary is an understatement. you're preparing to die all the time. that so it's scary for the child, not for yourself, but for the child. many parents hide the children in the bathrooms, sleep that cover the children with the bodies to protect and move toward the we decided to leave because there was

a lot of tension on saturday. a missile hit our yard. i'm very worried. the kids are always hiding at home in the bathroom or in the hallways. it's very hard. of course we want to go back because we are not going to a band in the city. it is yvonne yeah, through the builder on region has come under increasingly intense attacks by cubes and forces. a number of ukrainian troops have also tried to cross the border and sees the villages there. moscow says its forces have illuminated hundreds of angels infiltrators and destroyed dozens of their vehicles. just in the past 2 weeks, at least, 17 civilians were killed in more than 100 wounded by calves, military in the belgrade region. i mean, while the defense minister of my brother has admitted a number of the countries, nationals are fighting for key of the of an official claims. the volunteers are there legally as they joined to the international legion of ukraine. meanwhile, some romanian mercenaries have said they're taking part interest rates on russian

border regions as according to revelations on their social media accounts. that's journalist and call them this. sonya vanden and he says, europe is on a dangerous past escalation in ukraine. to my own opinion, i think the already a long time and you know, involved in the 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, of course, an extra damage, you know, may remain, the legion is, uh, inside its attacking. i think the little boy, you know, the last mill moved. that's very dangerous. we know really of george and legions are good. yeah. i see similarities with, with the syrian war because they have, um, they called the leader like, for instance of the russian. i tell you the free lead you his name is caesar well, they had this similar name in this area as well. supposedly, you know, if this

a now prison, there, they will, the evidence came out. but this particular know many of the do is you are going to, you were the legion. and so it, it's just an extra step towards war with nature we can say. and i think it's very dangerous situation. let's hope between of escalate. but i'm afraid because all the one story keeps coming out, you're saying that we didn't try to use, they have to refresh. so it's very terrible, dangerous situation of us recently shut down the very possibility of peace thoughts between russia and ukraine. that's the latest allegation from our now and american journalist seymour hersh signing his exclusive sources of the american official who is kept abreast of the ongoing talks between the leaders of the 2 armies at war said that officials of the biden administration, working with zelinski continued to rebuff any chances of significant progress and peace talks. we were on the verge of

a reasonable negotiation several months ago before putin's re election. and zelinski is military degradation. the us leaders got wind of the possibility and gave zalinski the ultimatum. no negotiations or settlement, or we won't support your government with the $45000000000.00 and non military funds . meanwhile, polish officials are beating the war drums as they claim they know it could be attacked by russia in the next couple of years. on the court allows me to go from, 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 gluten by putting his economy on a wolf with thing. we have such military might that he'll be able to attack nighttime kate, in the alone bills are ringing. certainly, we have 2 or 3 years in which we can increase our efforts, that people start pulling munitions and produce weapons to maximize european security. get ready and make sure the invasion doesn't happen. we'll see with full

clarity, the change is taking place in russia, and we're drawing conclusions from this to put it simply a rush. he's preparing for a conflict with nature, with full awareness of the fact that the alliance is a defensive structure. russia has repeatedly stated that it has no intention of making a move nato territory as that would lead to world war 3. moscow has accused the us led block itself of soaking tensions on russia's borders. alliance recently expanded with the accession of finland and sweden. we discussed this with the head of this of our, of the think tank in vienna. the former virginia senator richard black says without us support you, cranes were i for it would not be sustainable. i think that he correct way of services that unless the united states is

behind the ukraine more it's it's, it's going to and it's going to and may have waiting for ukraine because they just, it's, it's, it's tragic. it's one of the great tragedies of our time that the nato has pushed new crane into fighting and it's just the lead them white. i think the plan all along has been to have your craig spike as long as i possibly can. i've. i'm very worried that the d over a plan now is, i think there's a realization that ukraine has more or less last or more. now their lines are holding. i haven't worked in yet, but their structure, same way. and honest it's, i think it's just

a matter of time before the line collapses at some point. and there's a breakthrough. and there just are not in north few crania and men left to man the, the rooms. so there is a, there's a realization that the situation is desperate for ukraine. they're only really 2 countries on earth. you today that truly understand how to find one, the modern ballot for you is not the united states, so it's rupture. and it's, you create your brain, you see the pretty effective job of fighting, attacking, or deciding. and russia has done it just a monumental job of, of a stablish of defense, long range, very effective defense lines. and, and right now you have,

you have washer mobilized, where you have the industry very, very effective, good at producing immunizations and so forth. there is a tremendous amount in in marcia's favor right now, and i'm not sure how easy it will be for the united states to, to get people in thursday. i'll stick about another more refresh reports from the ukranian side this morning. say the russian military has launched a series of strikes and the countries energy infrastructure in multiple regions. one of the main objects for partly hit the need for hydro electric power plant. fire has broken out there and the vehicle of transportation across the bridge over them has ceased. ukrainian energy ministry says the largest strike on the countries infrastructure in months. power outages are now being reported across the ukraine.

there has been no comment from moscow so far. the in northern gaza, the is really military says it will keep writing the chief a hospital for several more days. the idea of claims, the facility is full of terrorist who have barricaded themselves inside its wards, is really military has released some footage of its raids. an idea of spokesperson says at least 600 terrace had been arrested at all. she passed with more than $140.00. others eliminated their several caches of weapons and intelligence documents for allegedly seized at the facility. however, dozens of civilians have also been killed during raids on the hospital this week. that's according to palestinian authorities. at least 7000 are said to be sheltering there, but they've been ordered by israel to evaluate and head south. we heard from some of the displaced locals. so let's see. you had them how, sorry, and they suddenly besieged us while we were sleeping. we've been under siege for 3

days with nothing to eat or drink. there are 6 people among us, allow women, let us out, save a siege, all the building houses in the let them in our 1st naked without any clothes. and then they let the women out making us hold our hands on google. they forced us to go to the south, but we have no one there. so we are we supposed to stay? there were some papers in every building. we never, we tried to take a different route and going if they would for bid us. it was extremely dangerous, as really, troops were everywhere. they surrounded the sick people. they hadn't eaten for 2 days. i just can't take this anymore. i'm so tired. footed circulating on social media shows bound and blindfolded people being taken away by soldiers and simple doctors and journalists detained and raids on l. c. for say, they were physically abused by is really troops, 0 mad human rights monitor group, which has an office and does the city shared some distressing testimonies of

survivors about 4 times during that period, i saw soldiers lead groups of detainees. always at least 3 people. and never more than 10 into the hospital buildings, particularly the mold building, where bodies had previously been kept. gun shots were heard with the soldiers, then leaving the area to bring another group. there. it is a work, let me know and symbols times it cannot be described any other way. it is, rest keeps going into these medical facilities. and basically, the intent is really to deny whatever left of medical care that people can go to and, and receive you know, some a modicum of health care. and that is had united them and not only this facility, but also in 33 other facilities. so plain and simple, you know, they said, and the shift, particularly, is also a refuge. a lot of people go there to take shelter to take their kids to,

as we've seen with my colleagues. same thing as family. and it was whether we don't know what happened to him or his families. 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 a except to continue the human and even the 1000 and to continue and the exact it correct that correct revenge. i don't know sort of like, but the obviously with no political or militate ain't because obviously medicare lays where it is out of keeping as well. so it takes it out on such facilities to draw this video released by a french national serving. and the idea of shows the change palestinians being humiliated by the troops. more footage from the same soldiers shows a group of palestinians blindfolded with their hands tied across. and the us more

support for the is really assault is being voiced by some american law makers. democratic congressman daniel goldman who's also a recipient of israeli lobby funds is among those back in the war. the area surrounding trust will despite the rest and alleged the torture of journalist and does the washington claims it is concerned about their safety and us state department official was grilled about that bypass listing and reporter site are caught during the latest press briefing. i my point is when will they that states? then i say that this cannot keep on going with joy list that are credential that have worked out for a year after year, decade after decade when i went to those ratings went on to this way. why did i keep telling them to give you the, giving them and presenting them with impunity?

why is that not a threat? just you saying that 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. said erica himself told r t as well as apparently targeting journalists deliberately to prevent them from reporting. the truth is about what's happening in gaza and then i say it says not really showing any measurable effort to safeguard journalists and guys. i mean they, they say they do, they say that journal should be allowed to do their job. they should be allowed to function and work. but in fact, we have not see them. the sanction is written by any measure or say, or say that you know is read should not do this, but if they continue to do it,

we are going to punish them in this fashion. as thomas saying that said journalists a being targets in an attempt to silence what, what's going on at the obviously, 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 your listing of people. think of some of say, when we say a journalist, they think i'm sure in a box or they think of the $150.00 that had been killed since it is right away. this war then going wrong, gaza really slot that it's not a war. and but the slower on gaza, but actually waiting for that. i mean, that is in your list palestinian journalist from my newspaper, from other newspapers, on television stations, as someone had been targeted and killed then it's estimated in prison. they annandale, to actually basically stuff out the truth. i mean, you might lose paper publishing the, you know, there's a lot of cuz 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 of empty space. because in that sense, i wouldn't take it out completely, so they have as red as all we've done, that is a red button that and, and art feels that it cannot handle the tools. and therefore, it is just not that out. a little more is increasingly engulfing the region, then spilling across the borders. the idea of says 2 of its soldiers have been wounded in northern israel. and a 1st strike by that has the militant group in love and on some is really communities in that complex zone. have been forced to flee as our middle east bureau chief maria from ocean our reports from the same as well as not sufficiently escort with his fellow less. but in the north where the country boat is never known . holding to the wrong backed arms groups that hasn't been teased for months. we come to the to lunch and find the ones peaceful picture has come to several is really families at the end. and there was

a feeling that the residence left in the rush lea hostilities on to bump all is meant by dozens of his fellow level kids. his high season gardens are full of white fluids, but there is no one to harvest them. mid tula is israel's northern most supplements from free size. it is surrounded by lab, but on i can see that his village is on that hill from here. home to around 2200 people. it has been a no go zone since october, 1 or 40 threes. really, communities along the border with lebanon in the north. the turned into ghost towns . the bolt of holding the distance doesn't give the feeling of protection that serves as a reminder of the danger. on the other side, the mayor says it's hard breaking to be had when i'm to town. for those who determine the scope of the flame till this morning has the last note as unfortunately, we are on the defensive side, where defending here all the time and has blocked fire whenever they want to, whenever they don't want to. they don't fire his bullet has been fighting with

these really army off to the him mass attack last october and solidarity with a g as a base palestinian militant group and 5 months. the idea of heat about $4500.00 targets and 11 on using artillery drones and navigation to strike alteration points . launching positions and bases belonging to his bola, who israel sees as terrorist. has bella attacked israel more than a 1000 times targeting these really army and residential areas here in the to 130 houses, housing he wants to 1000000000 and 2 soldiers have been injured in attacks when they walk. they take this cars, it was a miracle that the drivers advised to have been just tens of incidents and then old and israel. and the last 17 years after the 2nd lebanon war. and the last 5 months since october, the attacks happen here on a daily basis. people can not to return home yet. the may or believes there is only

one option of how to restore security. i hope i showed that we are waiting for the government to a piece of rails and them to decide to insect 11 on because there is no other choice. we simply don't have a choice. according to recent balls, the overwhelming majority of his release of would support a war against his viola, which israel has already had to full fledged conflicts with the rock concerns where the user will is capable of opening a 2nd front and needed of a state and compete in gaza, the cost is, and israel's history, especially given that his phone line is a much bigger and it means that how much last month the audience chief of staff announced is really stapleton. i'm getting ready for war in the north. after another barrage of rockets from his bottom of last week, his wells far right. national security administer responded with anger. that i go onto the army. is your responsibility? what are you waiting for? more than 100 me files? 100 launches of the state of israel, and you said quietly, stop releasing

a bully videos and let's start reacting, attacking. we want war. now these ro hasn't been sitting quietly, a quote into the armies estimates more than 300 his bowler operatives have been killed since october, including 5 senior commanders, 750 others have been reported to wounded. but those calling for war a say that is not enough to allow people to come back to the auction one on the largest city. and the border region is now virtually empty. before the escalation, this population was around 25000 people. about $60000.00 as really is leaving close to the lebanese boulder in the countries knows have less say, homes since october. this is the big gets such displacement and has really history on the other side of the frontier. we don't know exact numbers, but the lebanese authorities say around 100000 residents have also been moved to allow all of them to come back. both sides want to make sure it's safe enough. now

is far from the us. seconds later, we were given yet no proof of how dangerous the area is. while we were filming here, i received notifications on my walk and tell her and to application. they were several attacks and minora not far from where we are now and can we got to not and now we here we could probably be is really a to be answering firing back and again, the firing continues. we stopped the military vehicle passing by. there is a rocket attack on manada, which is not far from here. close for the close. huh. and the ra civilians now here or only the army interior out small. not sorry. okay. no worries. we managed to find someone who could answer our questions, the russell, who you left here in the city, though about 2000 the city it is that our or the state in the city,

even though the government to decide hard suggested that we would evacuate. it was a most of the uh, assessor walkers like security well cuz what the locals are next is that they wont girls and both of them are both around residence so it would not be welcomed. no much. ready risk, i ask in reality about the chances of a full scale war here, i do see no other choice and the only different wanted solution thing though was in for the 20 by the u. n. and do and can nothing force. because while under the agreement to end the 2006 war between israel and his bela, they should be no military precedence south of the tiny river except for the lebanese army and un forces. his bola has violated disagreement. the bad news is that, so he's the how these are former ideas members specialize in, in the military intelligence and found there were 90, you analyze and security challenges in his role is north cheese as his role is

trying to drag is really into war. the israel is not interested in, at least for now. so as far it talks are and going parallel to the have mass truce negotiations, but as interconnected as the are neither has yet seen at the size of breakthrough. so he believes the reason diplomatic solution, but it's frustrated about the progress of the talks because i don't see any deadline. i don't see any effective mack on isn't everybody's talking about the role of keys but are right. what these are fees, but it's a terrorist organization social movement, and it's a political party 11 on member in the lebanese government and the lebanese parliament. i don't see how low kind of organization which is entrenched in the villages in the town. can we drove from the places they leaving and the place at that very day and is when, when now getting killed by the idea. and that's why i think that the warranty. and

if we talk about the diplomatic arrangements should refer to this arm rather than read. roll on to a resolution is found and things are settled. he's rails large and northern region will remain a dangerous close to military area with views, civilians, empty roads and close shops. and restaurants at war zone without an official, was re from ocean a r t reporting from each rose north. have united nations official recently visited the middle east to look into is really allegations that have mos committed mass rape on october 7th. but primula patton returned empty handed despite earlier claiming there was convincing information that such atrocities did take place is really palestinian complex specialist moments finkelstein offices take in the latest edition of going underground airing throughout the day. here on r t, the familial hacked and report ended up being the most

compelling evidence that there was widespread rate and sexual violence on october 7th. so you might be wondering how can that be all the media were saying, here's the post. we have to prove, we have the smoking going, the middle of the bathroom report, but what the privilege passenger board show, listen up carefully. number one, they were supplied overwhelmingly with the evidence sunday as well. the government may examine fluid from every conceivable and go by every cigarette conceivable technological device. and you'll have to remember that area was a but to gossip, which means it must have been among the most heavily surveilled areas and go over this through. and here's the, here's the off shot, the character they serve, the poor, they couldn't find one single image or frame of sexual violence,

no one. and this is israel's best case number to be as of yet sunk. and because it was a complete shock to me when i was ready to get it because this is supposed to be the smoking gun clothing such a environment. number to they said they couldn't find a single scrap of what they call medical legal evidence, meaning forensic evidence on sexual violence, not a single strep. and then number 3, they said none of the victims yet step 4. now the argument is because most of them are killed the victims, that's the how the argument goes. that's not what the to happen. the board said, go look at it. why have you written this piece about the rate fantasies of approval

about them and why every other day you'll hear on mainstream the public and the media in nato countries. sexual violence has the excuse. so i haven't looked at it myself, but other people inside it is us of this repair that was done by frank long since a very influential analyzer of public opinion in the us be in the us. and what this study shows was, were for training to the events of october 7, when he, when there was asked to list which kinds of evidence of most influenced you in your support of israel. they said number one was right. so it was from the point of view of public relations and

galvanizing public support. it was known by them the proper gators of this claim that it was we can use the words, it was the most potent weapon in their propaganda arsenal. the i'll do stay with r t international have next on the prospect. peter lavelle and his guests discuss president biden's willing participation in israel's genocide on data by the .
