hello, i'm terry morris and welcome to the program. police in the georgia and capital tbilisi have clashed with protesters after the government said it was suspending negotiations to join the european union. thousands of people gathered near the parliament building protests. the governments moved. armed please use water cannon into your gas to disperse the crowd. several protesters were arrested. the government called off, it's you entry bid following a decision by the european parliament to reject the results of george's election last month alleging significant irregularities. george's prime minister accused the e. u. of blackmail demonstrators assembled outside george's parliament building in tbilisi, as well as the governing parties. headquarters protests were also reported to north or george and cities, georgia, seeing so for the anti government protest this year,

but they grew following an election in october. the opposition changed the criminal and it appeared in the campaign in favor of the governing georgia dream party. critics say it has been moving georgia and then no sar, tearing direction for months. but the thursday marked a watershed moment. i'm very devastated because we were not expecting the things to go so soon and for us the government to make the statements that they said today. and i think that this makes us feel very hopeless. but at the same time, i think that we're becoming stronger because of that sort of seizure because what sparks or protests was an announcement by george's prime minister. so he said he was suspending the bid to join the you on the grounds, the brussels had disrespect to george and values. thomas? well, well let's move amelia. it is categorically unacceptable for us to view new integration

as an active charity, that the european union must ground to us so far for their asking from georgia not reforms. so this is not the steps that would mean the rejection of our dignity. most business outside parliament, thorough barricades to prevent protesters from gaining an entry opinion polls indicates the vast majority of georgia and still want to join the b. u and georgia . dream says it intends to do that one day. but for the moment, the divide between the government and the george and people's aspirations look set to grow wider. was cross straight over to, to police, you know, where our corresponded? maria cut the mazda is standing by maria. the police track down on the protest. continued into the early hours of this morning. you were there. what did you witness and what's the situation now? yeah, it was definitely a very long, tough and violent night. instantly see the police use as as stated before,

use the 2 gas pappas sprays water cannons. just bear in mind that it's quite cold. now it's pretty easy. it was around one degrees above celsius and people still wouldn't leave the parliament square when the police were, was directing this streams of water as um. now we've seen that the police uh has been uh, was violently attacking some of the protests this individual protesters. and they also attempt to press the local press to, to john and as were bitten, the ones on those. we saw that she was in blogs and she was later and she had to seek the medical attention. so it was definitely very brutal, crack dogs that were witness. so people are hiding in the pharmacy shop in the pharmacies in the shops, but the police would storm those shops as well as we understand that around $43.00 people have been detained as of now,

according to the official information of the ministry of internal affairs. so if, if the approach has continued and they are set to continue, we assume the, this is, i think, not the last time when we're seeing this sort of crux on on space, the streets. the george's prime minister says he suspending the country's bid to join the european union. what does that mean for the future of georgia? well, the, you aspirations armstrong and in the countries constitution and many protests so. so it is um, an unconstitutional move from the uh, from the government now. uh, it's very hard to find someone, you know, its police, you who don't support you according to the polls. indeed, more than 80 percent of people, georgia support that pass. but the, you know, they are increasing the, it's just stressful um, in regards to the government who,

you know, which they don't see to be a pro europe. and it's not just the development that we see now, but it's been growing. you know, this sort of distrust over the past 2 years, especially after the government introduce the, as the critics would say, russian style, oppressive for a low as such as for an agent as well. for instance, on the, we've been seeing that there is a huge sort of gap between what's really the government wants, especially after the full scale invasion of ukraine trying to 6 closer called you know, ties with. most people don't seem to see that idea of very uh, sort of popular here it's, it's, it's definitely not. uh, so we're gonna see how it's gonna develop from here, but thinks then looks very, very uh, sort of positive at this point. it's also we have to keep in mind that the legitimacy

of the dispute at elections, it's still under question. so um, it's gonna be interesting to see whether the protesters will be able to pressure the government to challenge those elections and to have it in you a lock sense. but the government's insight that there is no way that you're gonna have new elections. they say that they will invest that election, and i think we're going to see more sort of current down to in the future. looks like you mentioned, maria, the opinion polls show the bus majority of georgians. do want to join the european union as so why is the new government taking such a different path? yeah, so as i mentioned, i mean the government wasn't really despite the fact that they were running behind you flags before the elections and there was say thing, yes, we want to be part of europe as people critics,

the police didn't seem to believe that this was the genuine intention, rather, the government had to, you know, prove their public the yes we approve you. but if you look at the actions that they were taking, uh, actually the laws that they were introducing. they were a gaze that you values on people. so the contradictions that and that's why they're so angry and furious of all gone. great, thank you very much. that was our course flooded. maria cuts and mounted into police well rushed as president vladimir 15 has threatened to attack government buildings and other decision making centers in ukraine with a new hypersonic miss. i'll it tested. last week. the threat came after us. your last a mass of attack on ukraine's energy grid. the kremlin described it as a response to keeps use of longer range western missiles. vive powered by generators. after russia struck ki energy and infrastructure, leaving

a 1000000 residents in western ukraine without power. while a generator keeps things running at this bar, there are concerns. moscow will once again ramp up the tax on key facilities as the winter sets in the codes. i don't think there will be any blackouts, but we'll see like, is complicated. anything crude happen? i hope they won't be a situation like in previous years when powell was out for a very long time. i think it will be easy and now power and water cuts also hit other parts of ukraine. the salt also targeted odessa damaging several residential buildings. the sun, you literally debris was falling on my head to the but i threw it all on the floor . one brick even hit me directly in the face. all this,

the kremlin size is retaliation after you crane hit targets inside russian territory with us, the new k made long range missiles. president vladimir putin is now threatening to launch new hypersonic missiles at keys and elsewhere in ukraine. no, that's not. you didn't say that when you put in it for significant target. and so we, we use those means that are at our disposal. yeah. but from sort of cover the screws, we do not develop the use of auditors, nick missiles against the military or young the military industrial facilities for via, via them, by any promotionally city or decision making center, executive sure, including and key of if keystone, c t's is urging the international community to react to the threats. and we expect those countries that have fear it's everyone to i'm

a very expanding of the war to react to this statements waste by putting today it is very important if we, if we are treated fairly and these are the statements, these blackmail is the expense on the floor and the threats of expansion or for unacceptable. ukraine says it's all the more reason for allies to ensure faster military aid ukraine's president brought me is a lensky, described his russian counter parts, who teens comments about themselves as saber rattling and disrupting efforts to bring the war and ukraine to an end. we just know what are the important once again for motor testing besides lot because of it it is to kill and destroy. so if you to the thousands of that size that have already struck you clean, what didn't clearly wants to add a 1000 for these each he has no interest in ending this part, the model of what it wants to prevent others from ending this far. she instances

has got an separate link that or sneak or does this am totally disrupting the efforts of president trump the restaurant to follow his integration president that the around but you can push the dc and all right. well, the us president elect donald trump has put forward his pick to negotiate piece in ukraine. keith kellogg is retired. lieutenant general, who was a national security advisor during the 1st trump administration. he's expected to play a crucial role and achieving trumps stated aim of ending the war that began after russia's full scale invasion of its neighbor in 2022. the graduation donald trump has criticized jo biden's handling of the war and ukraine, saying it would never have started had he been in office. the president elect has also said he could end the conflict in one day without providing details. on the campaign trail, he alarmed officials in cuba with comments like this. ukraine is gone

. it's not ukraine anymore. or any d leaving the worst steel would have been better than what we have right now. if they made a bad deal, it would have been much better. they would have given up a little bit and everybody would be living and every building would be built and every tower would be aging. for another 2000 years, cave worries trump will push it to give up land seized by russia and return for peace. almost 3 years into the war. moscow controls about one 5th of ukraine's territory. and he's a great to this man will play a key role in all future us negotiations. keith kellogg, as of yet no more veteran who served as national security advisor to vice president mike pence in the 1st trump administration. in april, he published a strategy paper, suggesting battle lines should be frozen and both sides should be forced to enter peace talks under his plan. any future

u. s. military aid would be contingent on ukraine joining the talks. and if moscow refused, the us would increase its support of ukraine. as added incentive for russia, ukraine's desire to join nato would be put off for an extended period. ukraine has always seen nato membership is crucial to its long term security. it wants guarantee is not strategies for taking peace and with so much already lost, it's unlikely to be pleased with any deal or moscow retains control of its land, even temporarily. let's get some analysis now for frank language, use the military analyst and senior lecture and war studies at portsmouth university . frank donald trump has chosen cheese kellogg as his special and boy for ukraine. what do you make of that? good morning, terry. my idea is it's very positive feedback in general,

kellogg's been involved in this se for the last 3 years. he's demonstrated, i think, and spoken about, i wanna say support the ukraine. but he's not one of these with what disdainful and hostile commentators and him and the united states got a very serious military background. you heard of the report that he sold a lot about us in his report for the think tank. the american medical 1st policy institute, which was summarized, that seems to me to be the closest thing we've seen for quite some time to any kind of strategy coming out in the united states. now, course, all of these things involve trade offs, but i think that could have been was choices. and i can't think of too many better to carry on this process within the context of a trump presidency. that kilo's plan for ending the war involves freezing the battle lines and forcing both ukraine and russia to the negotiating table. is that

the most likely scenario at this point, frank? or who knows this? it was contingent, was a life event. so my concern about this is despite the fact that it does look something like a strategy, the, the elements within its old present significant problems. you heard that, that surprise would effectively have to bind the nato ambitions in return for some kind of strong security. got into it nearly was while security got into this with in the united states, which again presents problems. the implication is that would be at the middle of choice, owed along the frozen front line. who's going to police that is not going to be less than pounds. well, probably not a con, see the russians during that and the other problem and it's an override. the issue is leverage the russians of winning this war amendment. and so it's not clear to me that the threat to withdrawal weapons or data sites, floods, weapons into you credit is going to be much of

a it's going to convince posting to do anything. i think the americans have conceded a right click that there's very little left to give that they haven't given already a full low. so may say those things that could have done 2 years ago. the certainly the case content now. nope, president put in is threatening to use hypersonic missiles to strike what he calls decision making centers in tv. is this something to be concerned about, frank? yes. again, there are a nodes here. the me solid, which is the r s 26 arrest nick we saw use last week is a it's, it's not necessarily a, it's a new development essentially of a rather old design. and you said that on the screen rather frighteningly. and what you see there are multiple multiple, the targeted warheads of those on precision guided. what they are designed is actually designed to hold nuclear warheads. you kind of put high explosives into

the problem for the crated perspective is not the west of perspective because these are, these massages are designed to be used in europe. i'd have to write, said any talk in europe that equivalent to the ultimate cells. we used to talk about the cold war, intermediate range, ballistic may solve the problem is a very, very difficult to shoot down. however, not precision guided, so those will head to so that targeted onto the pro, what not here, take targets. we didn't meet this as other kinds of miss solves. com. is there any kind of defense for against this kind of missile frank could the us maybe provide ukraine with the technology needed to defend itself against these missiles? is still the technology which might be able to come to the bas cold inside, which was one battery which we saw deployed to as well. recently. that would be a significant uplifted us out there on the i think 7 boxes, the sides that will be used successfully. it guides this kind of target in,

in the middle east, in the past. i think it unlikely the us with, with the transfer them to your crime for the simple reason that these are always on the us control that come on, did miss all come out and nothing to the line of forces as it, but technically they kind of to these down, but they have to hit them before those little heads up released, which presents of the problem. so they asked the question, is it will likely go no, it's very unlikely you credit is going to get any kind of capability which will challenge the rest of it. however, the also must be said, we don't know that the russians have any more of these. it is, as i say, it was said in your report, an experimental may saw course we saw it experimented infiniti pro. how many of these the russians have? we don't know frank. thank you very much. as always our military analyst frank lead, which there thank you, terry. let's take a look now and see why the story is making headlines around the world. oppression state media says defense minister andre better solved is in the north korean capital. john yang on an official visit statement from russia's military,

says belo. so we'll meet the with north korean political and military leaders. the reported recent exchanges of soldiers and weapons technology between russia and north korea. cars alarmed western nations. social media joins took talking. metal have lashed out at australia as decision to band children under 16 from using their platforms. they said the move has left many questions on answer law with level funds of up to 30000000 euros. if social media companies failed to prevent children from using their services, that philippines press to cover them now goes junior, says, efforts to impeach his rival, vice president would be a waste of time. sarah detective has publicly threatened to have marcus killed the to one and land slide victoria victory together in 2022. but have since fallen out,

other groups may still push for to that is impeachment over the ledge misuse of government funds and syria and revolution, including to how this 5 years and their allies have cut off a key highway between damascus and 11 o. this happened during an offensive against syrian army positions that solved thousands killed or rebels wants to surprise attack on the government hill or is northern the level of province on wednesday, or elsewhere in the middle east. the fragile ceasefire between israel and hezbollah militants in lab and on is holding the is really military, has worn lebanese residents against moving south to a line of villages and their surroundings until further notice. people in their thousands are still returning to their homes at southern 11 on as that shaky truce between israel and hezbollah enters its 3rd day. new images are revealing the

extent of the destruction from is rarely bombardment, like here in the city of tyre. israel's military says, any violation of the seas bar will be met with force? police have also been morning out of mass gray people in morning out of mass graves . near tire were dozens, could have been killed in is really our strikes and are buried. let's go to our correspondence, stellar, manta, in beirut, stella, how is the seas bar holding up so far? so we're entering the thursday of the ceasefire agreement. and up until now there have been several violations of the deal. and that has been shooting in villages in the border region as well as air strikes and tongues, time controlling. and these incidents of violations has been confirmed by both the liberties and the israeli army. israel says that it is only firing at suspect. you

are coming close to areas where they shouldn't be and that one attack was due to it has by the weapon facility that they smoke. we hear from media reports that the liberties prime minister in the audi has been on the phone with a monitoring my call as front as one of the monitoring states. and that is the in charge of overseas the ceasefire that we heard the is really military warning lebanese residents not to return to certain villages in the south despite the cease fire war. can you tell us about that? just shortly after the ceasefire agreement came into effect, is there any army has published a map where it indicates as an area that is close to the buddha and along the border line. uh and the is really army announced this to be a restricted area for this area specifically. they also issued previously yesterday

and the day before curfews and didn't allow people to go out after 5 pm. now they have just said that for the entire region that is trading on the map, people are not allowed to go back. i'm not allowed to enter this area. and people here are really reacting in this agreement because they are saying, why should the is really government tell us where to go in our own country. so sounds like people, there are a little ambivalent about the truce altogether, but how optimistic are they that they will hold? well, the latest incidents are really a stress test for this agreement on people all worried that it might not last very long, especially that it might not lead to a long term piece. as full stein the u. s. diplomats who was involved

and the negotiations originally said, and they also here, ms. honey i was speaking and this one you all has recently said that he already agreed to cease fire and not to the war ending. so this is also something that keeps the people here worried, and there's just a lot of mist trust towards israel, whether disagreement like really last. so thank you. that was our correspondence. tell him in a, in b root. i know if you've ever sold a visiting the pristine fjords of greenland and getting there has just become a lot easier. that's because the world's largest island has finally opened its 1st runaway suitable for large passions or plains. d excited locals and tourists welcomed the 1st such plane from copenhagen landing on a brand new runaway in no. yeah, islands capital. the old runway was too short for larger passenger jets to get to
