it's very important for that, and of course it's good for the public, which officially was not the wow. but in fact, in moscow, i mean in st. petersburg and, and roscoe, the people, came to the embankment. the police does not interfere. and so there are lots of brain more infection because roger now to the russian population, the majority are not next to me. and there was a lot of people there. russia was selling and trying to sell different kinds of weaponry, submarines and some ships. joseph in the nation. but the nuclear ships are not for sale and nuclear strategic. absolutely not for sale. but there's a lot of internal conference they should not seen from the surface. there's also a very, very serious confrontation between the russian navy and the russian army,

which controls the entire military time generals. the naval commanders are very, very better. and they very much use this occasion of this naval special day to vent their, this appointment, and disapproval of the military command and pushing themselves the french president has demanded an explanation from israel after an investigation revealed. spyware was found on, he's fine, and menu on the crumbs form, along with other french government officials, was reportedly had, using pegasus spyware, developed by the israeli, based in a. so group 10 governments, including the united arab emirates, our ledge to have bullet this violence device to track activists, journalists, lawyers, and politicians. hota abdel, how made has more from west jerusalem. monday we're like, oh would have us enough,

fairly bennett to make sure that there's an investigation that would be happening. that certainly is well, should look a bit more closely into licensing. at the moment the licensee for any of these sort of cyber weapon companies are given by the ministry of the fence and all any contract that the company like and so, and there are several others that are based here in israel. they do exactly the same thing. well, any of those lies, or any of the deal they gave has to be agreed upon by the ministry of defense. now, it seems that the really government is going to look into that a bit more closely. a committee from the is in the works to see out, to review really all the like how the licensing process goes on and to review, really the scope of these companies,
