i, my show is called direction, but again, it's not, we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way inside the no place in israel will be stirred. that's the wording from the leader because by law coming as the idea of says, it's prepared to invade 11 on to attack the militant group following bolts of mutual across the border strike states except to appeal young. rob stop with dpr can lead or control even personally seeing them off at the airport. this, by the way, this is like pictures from the vietnamese capital lloyd, where the russian president has just arrived for people to be covering. that's plus it's a comprehensive partnership agreement signed today, also provides for the provision of mutual assistance in the event of aggression

against one of the parties to this document. while still in north korea, florida, we are putting hailed a new mutual defense steel between russia and the dpr k as the strongest such treaties since the end of the cold war. and our correspondent was in feeling young to witness the seeing. is that a company, the russian presidents visit plan deals one well come on to milson square and the center of young man is just come to an end that the people of the democratic republic of korea have organized for this. russian president vladimir from the doctor to night this way to stay in cairo in athens and here in moscow. welcome to the global news roundup on archie. our top story, the leader of the hezbollah military group has warned israel, that's nowhere in the nation will be spared from its weapons. in the event of

a full blown were no, that's fiery comment. came in response to his really threats to destroy the part of military organization. the way i was. i'm no, let me do you have any nose well, but we have prepared ourselves for the worse and up. no place to be spared. no rockets, israel must wait for us on land by sea and by their last cross live village ortiz, middle east bureau chief, maria finance in jerusalem evening to you and maria. yeah, that has been a lot of leader not holding bach. take us through the big developments so far. yeah, good evening to you, una, well has son as well as speech. he's already making headlines around the world. the key messages, the attacks on northern israel, where his viola and the idea of have been exchanging fire since the war in guys has started, will continue in order to we can is relevant souls on the pallet stated in clay

what, what's more important. his bullet is preparing for war, the group has weapons, but is ro hasn't seen yet, and might face soon. the forces. now those things, some 100000 soldiers ready for battle had in the van to res rose, attacked his fellow will invade gilliland at region in northern as well as role. i also talked a lot about is really military capabilities. decrease in dramatically closing to his bell as leader. and this role of sad, the enemies image of the turns is collapsing. and these really army appear is defeated and collapse, unable to wage a war on several fronts. but again, in case of an all out for his bolas response will be huge. ms rela, went further than just tracked. and in israel, he warned cyprus that it will also be attacked if it decides to help as well. let's take a listen. you guys have the slippery with airports and the basis to is really and meet the target lebanon would mean that the separate government,

the spark of the war and the resistance will deal with it as part of the war. and we already hear reactions from lab and onto that particular part of his bullet speech had lead to our health. one of the question part is in the country, rejected the messages of ms rela, say he's humiliated the state, the ford ministry, and other institutions like threatening cypress and neighbor 11 on has good relations. while the news, real sports minister, a cold on the prime and a student and yahoo to show no trauma, who is the boss in the neighborhood? pushing to respond accordingly. it's important to understand that his liter gives speech is very often, but this recent one is particularly also of ordinary and it's tones that came of to earlier in tuesday. these really military announced that it's ready to invade lab and on with quote, operational plans for an tag approved threatening to destroy his public, completely, his bola that is based in lab and on also,

israel's chief of stuff visited the north and met soldiers there. and again said that israel hasn't shown all of its weapons yet to the enemy, but those will be demonstrated if his folder continues to test as well. and politicians joins the wire of military officials. warren and his beloved piece is rarely foreign ministers speaking. that's they come to some we are very close to the moment of decision to change the rules against hezbollah and they've been on it all for has will, i will be destroyed and level and will be severely hits to the foreign minister is common. this came, has a reaction to his bow, a drone photos demonstrating its surveillance of multiple locations and israel. the almost 10 minutes long day time veto shows, haifa, israel's 3rd largest city, less than 50 kilometers from the lebanese. both the both civilian and military air is field, including an arms manufacturing complex, with missile defense systems indicated and in his speech. early on wednesday,

this rolla said the high for is far from the only c t in israel. they collected information about surprising to see actually this escalation, just days after us, special envoy visited the region both east roland lab. and i'm trying to is the tensions between the size given the rather military speech of ness rolla and the very clear message. israel is sending to his ball why it seems that these efforts are far from working. let's take a listen to the us and voice. but let me be clear. the conflict along the blue line between israel because bowler has gone on for long enough. innocent people are dying, property is damaged, families are shattered, and 11, these economy continues to decline. the country is suffering for no good reason. it's in everyone's interest to resolve it quickly and diplomatically. are added to

the recent escalation is really defense minister assess the situation and 11 on this evening with idea of chief of staff had of northern command and had of these really air force. and we heard from that meeting. but the military has to insure its readiness for continued operations. we are preparing and assessing our capabilities again. anything that may come, defense minister said, which indicates that a bottle of harsh words and warnings that we see now could potentially lead to real actions back to you. right, thanks very much for breaking down all of that. first, ortiz, middle east bureau chief marie if an option to introduce them whatever. earlier on wednesday, the id f and has belie exchange, the fresh series of strikes across the border the,

according to these really military, approximately 15 projectiles where tech tech did, which the idea for tell you to, to by showing the source of the launches inside lebanon. there's no word as yet, but any casualty on either side. ahead of them, a series of deadly or strikes by israel was created on southern when the 2 sides have been exchanging across the border rocket attacks for months, the fairly military and honest on tuesday, that is reading to invade levon on with quote, operational plans for an attack approved for joining us now. i from the roots is jamal working professor of history and introduction relations in the capital's lebanese university. good to see you jamal. take us through perhaps 1st the

reaction to the his beloved leaders tell it was kind of my statement there so far as well. of course, this speech has been a and response to is there any of the threats to escalate the confrontation with lebanon and to invade lebanon, especially that uh, the american envoy was transmitting threats from the is there a list of anybody's government on to his blog? and that's why the response was to send this drone to uh, take uh, footage of haifa, city hyphen port and all the facilities in the city. uh, in addition, there was this speech by said, most of the look that was uh, retaliating to this escalation by for the escalation threatening. that is why it is offer full scalable and of something that they would then expect of quotes. this

has been uh, lets say. 3 receive the with the contradictory reactions. uh that are uh those who support his blood not only from within the supporters of his blood. i mean the, the members of his blood buck folder on my wide spectrum. awfully by these people. uh, whether so need she, uh christians, etc. and that also those who oppose has blah and who are a pro american and 11 on who where criticizing or who voice data, criticism, unconcern, to this escalation. but i believe that this a threat of these threats by side both of the law where a meant to avoid war actually because uh he was telling the israelis that in case they are calculating based on certain facts that they have. they are, they should expect something that they are not seeing and that the world would take

a different course. and that's why he mentioned that the only a that the, his below has a or uh, the neighbors capabilities budget can, i can tell you just the risk that does. uh and because the government, i'll just break that down for the audience because how something goes wrong. it did say israel should be prepared to expect retribution on land, etc. and in the are those, the lebanese militant group doesn't actually have the sort of combined arms capability, or would that require the involvement of the regular lebanese navy and are forced on, would they step in, you know, i don't believe that the side most of all is counting on the menus, army and the liberties of naval and add forces. actually, the menus army has no uh, ad or navy capabilities that would match a fraction of what is right is have. but i believe that the minute the group has

already accumulated lots of weaponry. it has uh, manufactured a lot of weaponry. it has the know how i know the same time. it has acquired capabilities from different sources. we need to in order, for example, to understand the ad capabilities, the test, blah, has. we need to, uh, go back to this drone that was able to go on, detected the overt haifa on, think all this a footage of sensitive uh, uh, facilities. and at the same time, we need to match the neighbors capabilities that hezbollah might have with those that the policies and yemen has. and that's where the uh, that's the allowed the whole see the policies to challenge the united states and by the month of, uh, not to forget about the food, these capabilities and in terms of ballistic besides on the long range of

thrones. so all these how's the law already has and i believe that it's keeping them secret so far, but it was still being a fraction of what it already has. very interesting, just briefly, if i could, because the law leader has also warned cyprus against the loading the is really military to use bases on the mediterranean island to a top level. what do you make of that? why would cyprus potentially want to get involved as well? as cyprus so far has a strong uh, security ties to israel. uh, we need the not forget about the fact that it's and is there any company that is operating loading up or it's also in other is a company that is operating live muscle effort. and at the same time, all a proficient intelligence that is used in cyprus is operated by is really companies

that is an intensive. let's say investment is 80 investment in the uh, in the island. and at the same time that way the headlines buy. is there any newspaper display me that is what i a cypress is the 2nd is, are you uh, that are already in use. an information that is right is using uh, q 3 at the airports. uh for uh, military uh, training on uh that, uh, even uh, no suspicions that uh is right. it has already use these add ports to launch edwards against sylvia. so uh, this is why as below or said, most of the law is wanting the cypress from uh, let thing is i use it's facilities and a fucking lab on a thank you so much for all that. explain, are we appreciate a delving into the background all developments that jamal what team professor of history and international relations of lebanese university in bare root the the

president put in the has touched don't in her noise for talks with v. and in these leaders, he flew there directly after wrapping up an eventful visit to the d. p. r. k. lord john saw mister putting off personally and was driven to the airport in a rush and made iris limousine. nothing visiting president gifted to the nation during the trip, the 2 countries signed a new partnership agreement, which includes and mutual assistance boards. the russian leader expanded all not saying it entails that commitment to defend each other should either come under threat. young young has the right to take reasonable measures districts in its own defense capability and show a national security and protected silver and things of that nature. the comprehensive partnership agreement signed today also provides for the provision of mutual assistance in the event of aggression against one of the parties to this document. i would like to draw your attention to statements by the united states

and other nato countries about the supply of high precision, long range weapon systems, at 16 aircraft, and other high tech weapons and equipment for striking russian territory in disregard. the russian federation does not exclude the development of military technical cooperation with the democratic people's republic of korea. in accordance with the documents signed today, people are sure this policy full agreement between the dpi, okay, involve choice, nothing more than the document until a constructive forward looking exclusively peaceful and defensive nature designed to protect and defend the basic interest of the people. so the 2 countries have no doubt that they will become the driving force accelerates integration of a new multi pull the world free from the rule of head gemini and my legs. relations between all countries have reason to the high level of allied relations. a legal basis has been laid with the help of the ways it has become possible to put them on

the grandiose plan of the leadership of 2 states and all peoples to reliably protect peace and security of the region and the wells. and build strong states in accordance with the common interest of the dpi. okay, and russia from calhoun himself insisted up a tribute as peaceful and defensive in nature and accelerates the creation of a new most the polar world order. russia on the dpr k both say they oppose these have sanctions. so as a tool for the west of copeland paint, it's a gemini, 2 weeks prior to his young, young part of my opinion were in that weapon supplied by western countries. were used to strike russia law school has a right to respond by providing military a to any country on those arms could then be used perhaps against the with you double done on those remarks today as well. let me know, do you want them? we're thinking that if someone believes it is possible to supply such weapons, to a war zone, in order to strike out territory and create problems for us, then why do we not have the right to supply our weapons of the same class to those

regions of the world where they will be strikes on the sensitive facilities of those countries that are doing this against russia. so the response could be a symmetric will think about this and of course, such actions will finally destroy international relations and undermine international security. ultimately, if we see those countries being drawn into a war against us, and this is their direct participation in a war against russia, then we reserve the right to act in the same way. all in all. this is a fact, a very serious problems, but less trust live now, to introduction to a security consultant, earl resumes in life from washington, d. c. at what do you think of those remarks if you could just hear them early, it seems to be the natural progression. this is, if the west is not going to be on friendly terms with russia, russia has other countries that i can do business with. i'm not business includes

weapon rate on what we just heard there. if we come under attack with weapons that were supplied to ukraine, then those countries could come under attack with weapons that we're giving to north korea. do you think that's a shock for the west? well, i think, i think the west is living in a delusion, a carlo universe, but uh yeah, it's natural. i mean, it really, if you look at it, the majority of the way the jordy is um, is doing business with russia. maybe not necessarily a defensive security stuff, but doing business and in are not implementing sanctions. those are primarily the realm of the us uh, western european allies in other close hours. so essentially the majority of the world is, is not looking at that. but i think this is a major step. i mean, the problem is not been there for 24 years. it establishes a uh, a positive relationship. the welcome he got was amazing. and um,

and i think it so it, you know, he talked about the, the long range weapons being provided the ukraine and allowing them to hit into the russia. so this is, um, you know, it's something to think about a, you is correct. i mean, uh, you know, with the north korea that dpr k, a symmetric uh, type of response. but i think this trip is much more than that. it is also not just in security area, which becomes the only country outside of the us to have a formal security arrangement in that area. but, but he also looked at the trade in and increasing, i'm trying to address un sanctions against korea to revisit those. so it is much broader than just in security areas just to stick with the security pack though, for, for one moment because it is interesting in the details of it essentially if either of us or hits the other will come to our aid. you have russian cities like bel abroad, coming under attack from ukraine,

with weapons from the west. so they could have come from perhaps other asian nations that, that north korea is that within striking distance, all of so if it comes to it under this new security pack, why could you see it escalating in such a direction? right? it could easily escalate to that area. and i think the wes needs to be very careful on that side if mr. brougham is absolutely right. this can go down a very dangerous path. and i think, you know, people that are aware of what's actually, sir, and you've been saying that for, for several years. but um, but yes, that could that be a, do we know that there's probably weapons coming from korea going to ukraine? yes. do we know, are there anything from japan? i'm not sure and but, but south korea is providing and, and there's a tensions, especially with the new administration software would look like, who was going to be in an improvement now is very tens. um, so yeah, there,

there could be there could be rep of cushions as a result of that. just to see if we can touch it away from security. i've read a lot of headlines early part at nucular countries coming together, russia in north korea, and then china, of course, as well, like try loft ro an area. but when it comes to nuclear, it's not so much about weapons. as energy is a, north korea would like to be a head of the curve and being able to satisfy their citizens need for energy, keeping the lights on, etc. so that's going to be a big issue going forward. and russia has built a lot of nuclear bases in likes of true key uh, in africa. you know, this could be the natural progression, right? oh, absolutely rushes by far. i have a friend of mine who's a, in that consulting your use, is by far russia on the newport energy side is 10 years ahead of the united states, at least. and it says they are by far the number one country in that area. and this

could really, uh, especially with a, i think the meetings in vietnam were gonna discuss this, a establishing a kind of a nuclear center in that area. you're energy center. so this definitely energy is going to be a positive mechanism. and energy is very important for economic development. really, it could be an engine for a, for, for not just korea, but the whole entire region. so it's a, definitely a nuclear energy and nuclear discussion. and in the peaceful side of it is a, a definite positive movement. yeah, it was a point that was the race. and so i think it is a crucial. what is your social security consultant? earl ross, musing. earl, thanks as always. thank you. i know it just uh, before we end on the trip by building were put into the d p r k. i want to show you this. it was a massive concert featuring performances in both korean and russian. in fact, our t correspondent donald quarter told us the scale of the welcome for

a visiting leader was something he'd never seen personally before. this meeting that he had with teams on the one was all about establishing a new, basically a new era of cooperation between russia and the dpr, k and all different spears, including culture and education, economics and science. but the main one of course is as we recently heard that of a military cooperation. and it has to do with the fact that both countries are in a very similar position with respect to the west sanctions. and this common western, this coming position in relation to western regression is one of the main points in which the dpr, k and russia are looking to unite and fight against not listed on the increase, consistently advocate for the formation of a more just and democratic multiple world or both russia and north korea, pursue independent and autonomous foreign policies and reject the language of blackmail and take time. we oppose the practice of applying politically motivated

sanctions and restrictions. these are legitimate actions only to stabilize the global political and economic system. we will also continue to resist the practice of sanctions as a tool of the west as a custom to using to maintain its had gemini in politics, economics, and other areas. in this context, i would like to note that the indefinite restrictive regime of the un security council against north korea inspired by the us and its allies, must be reconsidered. military cooperation was not the only sphere that was covered in these negotiations. this was an agreement that was signed across many different squares of cooperation of the russian president mentioned economics. the fact that in 2023 trade volume between the 2 countries grew to nearly $35000000.00 worth, that's a 9 fold increase from what it was in 2022 and the educational spear that's also expected to grow. the russian president said that right now, 130 students from the dpr k are studying and russian institutions as part of the

joint programs between the 2 countries. but that's expected to grow as well as such a grandiose welcome like the one that we received in pyongyang, i have never received ever before in any other countries. and earlier i was able to take some uh, videos of what was going on there. i was in the press bleachers right in the middle of the action. i was able to get up close and personal with some of the residents of young young. so let's take a listen. as you can see behind the 10s of thousands of people from the dpr k have gathered here on the most on square to celebrate this meeting between vladimir putin mccain. john, the

dignitary. well, come on to middletown square in the center on the line. it's just come to an end that the people of the democratic republic of korea, the russian president vladimir from there to thousands of them on the square, around $15000.00, all happy to war, warmly. welcome the russian president here in po 9 for the event we're driving at 2

different location now. and so many people from the streets. we've been saying this whole time in crowds of people down the road. 4 kilometers the kilometers here, to welcome the russian delegation and vladimir from here. i mean my aren't even getting tired of waving so much of a lot of their putting this note in vietnam for talks ahead of his arrival. as senior vietnamese official said, the russian leaders visit confirms the sides east asian nations course towards an independent on friendly foreign policy focused on self reliance on cooperation. mr . fitness praise holloway's advocacy for a just world order as well in an article earlier written for the eating and these newspaper. vietnam is an ancient civilization that is vibrant and unique, adding to the tapestry of a multi polar world noise. the susan independent foreign policy in the global arena, and strongly advocates, a just world order based on international law and principles of equality for all

states, and no need to feelings in the internal affairs, we see it now as a like minded partner in shaping a new architecture of equal an indivisible, your ration security on an inclusive and non discriminatory basis. we are grateful to a vietnamese friends for the balance position on the ukraine crisis. and the desire to facilitate the search for practical ways to settle it peacefully. all of this is fully in line with the spirit and nature of our relations. so the v, as in east capital, has been decorated with russian slides lining the streets. expectations are high, the new agreements will be signed expanding, strategic cooperation between the countries. when we spoke to a political activist who is also the grandson of the 1st secretary general of the viet, and these communist party is the upcoming trip as a marker on how ties between vietnam and russian have strengthened, especially in the security and economic spears. was gonna put, it has to be the vietnam 4 or 5 times since he became president. this upcoming

visit is also marx held relations between vietnam and russia. have grown in many areas such as security, cooperation, energy corporation, economic cooperation, cultural educational corporation, and many other areas. so this is sylvia theater. we had them and russia had comprehensive cooperation with each other. this visit is not a very important element. and what you just say to the whole world that we're still friends, each visited by lighting and put in was seeing if i buy the documents of cooperation and development. and i believe that in the future, all these various will develop further, especially cooperation in energy and defense, energy corporation between russia and vietnam has been very long standing. it is the most powerful speed of cooperation between the 2 countries, especially in the modern context of climate change and global warming. russia as a country with a lot of experience in innovating or strengthening renewable energy and is useful not only for vietnam but also russia and not.
