the assassination of leaders in lebanon strikes at houthi yemen, israel continues its operation as deployed... the events in the middle east and what telyaviv will do next are about the next 15 minutes of the bbc broadcast. dzaferov works in the studio. israel plans to launch a ground operation in lebanon soon. the israeli authorities have warned the united states about this, as reported by the american media. the country is conducting military operations against the hezbollah group, which is based in neighboring lebanon and is recognized by many countries as a terrorist organization. previously, the minister of defense of israel.

luv haland said that whatever needed to be done would be done and that they would use every force from the air, sea and land. he said this during a meeting with the israeli military near the lebanese border. however, the day before, sbu representative naim kasem said that they are ready for a possible israeli ground invasion of lebanon. then, how the leader of the group was killed by israeli forces, more on that later. iran is also reacting. spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs of the country. stated that israel's actions will not go unanswered. the continuation of these attacks could lead the region to a situation in which nothing will be impossible to predict, and all confrontations can expand. at the same time, prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu today addressed the iranian people, said that israel is on the side of the iranians, and the country will soon be freed from the regime. with every passing moment

, the regime brings you, the noble persian people, closer to the abyss. the vast majority of iranians know that the regime does not care about them at all. american expert norman analyzes what this appeal of the prime minister of israel to the iranians means. i think the appeal was intended for three audiences. the first is that... to the world that the israelis are no longer going to sit back and be attacked, they will fight back, it can stimulate diplomacy, it can also stimulate additional defense capacity. the second audience, of course, is domestic, this is a message to the israeli people that benjamin netanyahu, who is proud to be the prime minister of security, is fulfilling this role, and finally, this appeal to the iranians, the beginning of his speech is more about... those , who

can bring it directly to iran's leaders and quts force officers who conducted operations, and they will have good reason to be concerned about israel's capabilities. iran has several serious problems: first, it has relied on providing weapons and technical skills to its proxies. this is no longer possible. currently, hamas, hezbollah, and the houthis do not pose a strategic threat to israel. iraqi proxies have limited capabilities. further, iran could previously provide them with additional materials. israel blocked these logistics and transport lines in syria and lebanon. do not forget about the united states and partners in the red sea and the arabian peninsula. that leaves iranian missiles and drones. the united states and its partners have a strong military presence in the region that is capable of protecting israel and other states, just as it has been. in april iran

supports both hamas and hezbollah and the houthis in yemen, and although israel and iran do not engage in direct confrontation. iranian authorities use their proxy network for this. and in recent israeli attacks, israel reportedly killed the lebanese head the wings of hamas and the general of iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps and the leader of hezbollah. and now the israeli army struck the hussites. israel's army... help and power is long and powerful. this is not lebanon and not the gas sector, but almost 2000 km from there. yemen the target is one of the country's largest ports and two power plants controlled by the iran-backed houthis. the israeli defense minister led the operation. we are not interested in expanding the war. we are not interested in finding additional fronts. but if someone attacks israel, as the houthis recently did with

using missiles, and throughout the war they use cruise missiles and drones. we will retaliate against anyone who carries out such an attack, and we know how to do it. israel is not stopping, its air force published a video of the operation, and also reported that it shot down another drone launched from yemen. over the past year, the yemeni hosites have sought to influence the conflict in the middle east. so their fighters captured a british ship in the red sea in november last year. the houthis have long-range missiles, their supports iran and they oppose israel. in a speech earlier in the day , houthi military spokesman yahya sari said they will not stop until israel ends its aggression against the gas sector and lebanon. the strikes in yemen reveal another

dangerous front in the war that threatens to engulf the region. the hussites attacked. on western merchant ships in the red sea because of israel's war against hamas in the gaza strip. after the hamas attack on israel on october 7 of last year, tzahal launched a military operation in the gas counter-group sector and since then, hezbollah, which is based in southern lebanon, has been attacking northern israel. israel is retaliating, it has been going on for almost a year and two weeks ago, israeli strikes against the kgb in lebanon intensified. israel has stated that its goal is to return the displaced. to the border areas, first exploding pagers and walkie-talkies, then a strike said to have killed hezbollah leader hassan nastral, who had led the group for nearly 30 years. the bbc's frank garner has more. the attack

on the leader of hezbollah, hasan, was disgusting strategic decision of israel. he was in hiding for years and was a target of israel for a long time. so how did they do it? i believe that... israeli intelligence is behind the deadly explosion of all those thousands of hezbollah pagers and walkie-talkies. i assume that the israeli secret service mossad planted explosives in the supply chain. that was almost two weeks ago. since then, it has become known that israel's penetration of the command structure has become even deeper. look at this pyramid. the israeli military says they killed everyone. these senior commanders of hezbollah, then as during of the israeli campaign were able to penetrate hezbollah's defense so strongly? it certainly looks like something that's probably been in the works for years, and that involved several tracks: interception

of communications, analysis of satellite images, surreptitious photographs, and almost certainly intelligence from people, in other words, spies on the ground, as reported by... as soon as the israelis tracked the shit, their f-15 warplanes dropped 80 anti-bunker missiles, they targeted an underground basement in southern beirut in the dahiya district, where he met with the higher command. so it is clear that israeli intelligence has seriously weakened hezbollah's security. nasrallah will be replaced and someone with similar religious credentials will arrive soon, but the new leader may take...years to build a following, and time is probably not on his side under these circumstances. netanyahu hailed the slaying as a historic turning point, while joe biden, the president of the us, an ally of israel, said it was a measure of justice and called for a

ceasefire between israel and hezbollah. but whether is israel interested in a truce? richard danata, ex-commander of the british army , says no. last week , un security council representatives called for a 21-day ceasefire, but netanyahu and the israeli army ignored it. when netanyahu was in the united states last week, it seemed that he was ready to talk. but israel's actions over the last weekend's killing spree showed that they are not interested in a ceasefire. and it seems that netanyahu actually has reason to believe that he can now win a war, a war that. many people considered a losing proposition for him, but given the fact that israel faces an enemy, or even a series of enemies, supported by iran, who seek to destroy the state of israel, they cannot be faulted for their own determination to fight, even if

the manner in which they do so is questionable. it is worth remembering that the threat to israel's security from hezbollah has been enormous for quite a long time. before the start of this conflict, it is believed... that hezbollah had 130,000 to 150,000 rockets of all types and sizes that could hit anywhere in israel. thus, hezbollah posed a huge threat to the israelis. and based on discussions that i've been involved in before, the israelis clearly understood that if hezbollah were to launch a major strike, which, let's be honest, they've been doing since last october in one way or another, after the october 7th attack and hostage taking, israel would strike in response to southern lebanon, or perhaps even hit targets in iran itself. so it is not surprising that now they took the opportunity to protect their own security and attacked hezbol. iran supports not only hezbollah and hamas, but also the yemeni houthis, but currently iran's own regime is not very

stable. iran has decided that it is in its interest to expand the war, especially with the united states involved. given the extent of the damage done to hezbollah by israel and other proxies, iran has no intention of intervening now. like, we don't want that. it is not in our interests, or in the interests of the region, to expand and escalate too much. almost 60,000 israelis had to leave their homes due to constant shelling by hezbollah in the north of israel. however, due to the massive israeli attacks on lebanon in the country has almost a million immigrants. almost 100,000 of them fled to syria. these are data from the lebanese authorities. the following material is from the beka valley, which is about 30 km from beirut. some shots can be upsetting. israel continues to deliver powerful strikes, seemingly unstoppable

. this video was shot over the weekend in the bka valley. in an hour, israel carried out at least 30 airstrikes, danger from everywhere, and even more dead. the man says that the whole family died, his neighbors jamila. while the airstrikes continue , nur mousavi is in intensive care. the girl is six, she was wounded on the doorstep of her own house. relatives say that she is smart, talkative and sociable, but shortly before the attack, the girl was frightened and was praying. now her mother, reema, is praying by her hospital bed. suddenly, during our shooting, there was the sound of airplanes. seconds ago there was an impact, we heard the sound of a plane in the air, then we felt a shock,

the windows shook, rattled, and this shows that there are no safe places here, even the patients in the hospital cannot feel completely safe, after a few minutes, new wound. there was an ambulance, the victims of the last airstrike were brought in, they were taken to the emergency room , people are angry, tense and asking when it will stop. in intensive care , nura abdul's father says he wants the world to see his child. she fought, the husband asks, she played at home. she has a weapon. now the girl does not have half a brain. they waited 10 long years for nur's birth. her

parents did artificial insemination. the girl's father says he is not a member of hezbollah, but now regrets it. bbc correspondent orla gerin from livano. israel has warned the us that it may launch a limited ground invasion of lebanon in the near future. it is reported. at the same time, us president joe biden called for a cease-fire between israel and ezbela, and earlier he said that the expansion of the war in the middle east cannot be allowed. so, subscribe to our pages on social networks in order not to miss the most important news and analysis from our correspondents, we are on facebook, instagram and tiktok, on youtube you can watch our episode if you missed it on the air. and that's all today, more history. on our website, and we will be on the air again tomorrow at 9 p.m., take care.

turning ukrainians into little russians. ukraine will become russia. countering russia's information attacks. in the information war chronicle project with olga lake. tuesday-thursday at 17:15, repeat tuesday, friday at 22:00. new week we're back live and kicking off an hour of our... commentary and our analytics, now joined by khrystyna yatskiv, and we will start talking about all the topics that i have already announced, but before, yes, khrystyna is already there, khrystyna, good evening, congratulations, see you, glad to see you, but

before we start talking, i will remind you about our survey, and then we'll start. we ask you whether you are satisfied with the results of zelenskyi's visit to the united states of america, if you think so, you can take your phones or smartphones absolutely free of charge and vote 0800 211 381, if you think not, 0.800-3802, 211 382, ​​you see all numbers on your screens, and i emphasize once again that your calls are absolutely safe... at the end of this hour we will sum up the results of our vote with you, and today we will have two main such topics, the first topic is, of course, negotiations or peace plans, which are increasingly being talked about, written about by the western

mass media, about what ukrainians are talking about in the streets, in the kitchens. what is discussed on the air of youtube channels and tv channels is, of course, negotiations, it is of course a victory plan and actually what may or may not happen it may be in the coming months, we will figure it out, but the most interesting thing is that this is the victory plan that you and i have been talking about, probably for more than a week, it has not been shown to the ukrainians yet, that is, we have seen some pieces from foreign media... , we saw that american experts and american politicians talked about it, but they did not talk about it with ukrainians yet, you see, the head of the president's office, andriy yermak, on the air of the edyni novyni telethon, said that actually this victory plan will finally be shown

to the ukrainians, but attention , without some closed ones details let's listen to what mr. yermak said, this is the president's plan, and certainly, as he promised after the presentation to the president of the united states, partners, i think it will be presented to the ukrainians, but i can tell you, there are definitely parts, they are so very sensitive, they are closed, and not because there are... secrets, this is our country, we all, you know, today, in the good sense of the word, we are, like, really the only family in which there can be no secrets, especially in wartime , but still, you know, what happens comes around public, and it is heard not only in our

country, the enemy also hears it, at the same time, in the western part. the press is writing about possible negotiations, and various countries are talking about it, we have already repeatedly emphasized this and in germany, olaf scholz says about it, they are talking about it in china, in brazil, we see that hungary is joining, switzerland before that, but actually and including the press writes, actively writes about it, writes about the victory plan, writes about possible... negotiations, in particular elpais, and there is such and such a publication, it writes about the fact that zelensky is preparing for negotiations, under such a heading an article appeared in... in the spanish newspaper that i just mentioned to you. in particular, we are talking about the critical crossroads at which ukraine found itself on the eve of the presidential elections in

the united states of america and after 2.5 years of full-scale invasion. in particular, the quote: the war, which has come to a dead end on the battlefield , has reached the stage of maturity that is and is the most dangerous. the future of ukraine and europe as a whole will be uncertain if its... allies simply succumb to blackmail the aggressor, as in any peace negotiations, as zelensky knows, each side will have to make concessions, but what cannot be given up is the security and preservation of a free and sovereign ukraine, writes elpais. here are two such theses, in particular, khrystyna, i don't know if you watched. the first part of our program, we talked about this chinese-brazilian plan, where they want to advance something, orbán already communicates with these countries, travels here and there

as part of his peace initiatives. switzerland allegedly joins proposals for such negotiations at the same time, we see that president zelensky travels to the united states of america, meets with... trump, with harris, with the current president, joe biden, and presents a plan for victory. as i have already emphasized, this victory plan was talked about many times, and even some part of the points, there five, six, nine, was demonstrated in the western press, in particular, the times newspaper published about it. but here we see such a statement by yermak, when he says that after all some part... will be closed, well to me, frankly speaking, let this be my subjective opinion, it seems strange to me the situation that after

a huge number of people have already seen this plan, and when it was already published in the press, that there are some points of this plan , they should be closed, and in fact, so that the russian federation does not see them, so unless it is some kind of application. unless it is something that applies there, let's say, military, some specific things, yes, but in general, if we talk about general, general postulates of this victory plan, i think that it should have been known to ukrainians for a long time, that first of all people and society are ukrainian, this is number one, who should know for what purpose, with what... plans, with what vision he is going somewhere the government, strategically, i mean, strategically, where we are moving, and here we are still today, already on september 30,

today is the end of the first decade of autumn, and we have not actually seen a detailed plan. what is your opinion, khrystyna, about this whole situation? there are many plans, and of course, we are oriented as ukrainians on the plan declared by the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, he does this in his meetings with those who are directly involved in making decisions about helping us, and in general in the implementation of this plan, but the question always arises in my mind, how different plans converge , in which points to what extent they differ, and we understand that... well, these are very often fundamentally completely different things, in some plans we have already seen how they try

to highlight the interests of the russian federation, at least from those that it declared on the start of a large-scale invasion, and we saw how with these plans they are trying to save the resource potential of russia, because it is also being depleted, regardless of... this potential is quite large, on the other hand, we see that each of the plans that are proposed, or which is ready to be supported by our allies, he is still about the fact that ukraine should remain a sovereign state, and that is already good, although, in my opinion, this is somewhat insufficient, because, of course, the minimum plan... on the other hand, and the maximum of our victory in this war is preservation the sovereignty of our country is another question,

unfortunately, i don't... maybe another question will sound a bit cynical, in what limits, in what borders, on what conditions, on what basis, the main thing is to preserve, again, you know, decisively , everything else will already be strung on this basis, there are many plans, i personally was a little confused by yermamak's thesis on the topic that ukrainians will be ready to understand why some of the points of zelenskyi's plan are from them... for now they are hiding, the enemy hears everything , says the head of the president's office, the main thing is that we saw the results of these points of the plan on the battlefield and inside the russian federation, not realizing that we are talking about the military component, and they are not ready to show it to us yet, but, we hope, they are already showing those on whom decision-making depends, how much we plans did not say, i do not see

the main. the readiness of the russian federation , at least somehow in general, at least somehow to cast an eye on any proposals, well, ours, not ours, chinese-brazilian ones, well, i do not hear from public figures of the russian federation the readiness to consider something there, no, randomly, of course, they have some ideas there, like lavov, at least we'll be talking about two. we will now talk about it separately and give all these quotes, yes, but the russians do not see the need for any plans, peace talks and so on for themselves, in principle, as i understand it, everything is for putin it's going quite well, they 're moving, they plan at least, in principle, as i understand it, they want to achieve and capture the entire donetsk-luhansk region, they're

used to it... of course, after that they will talk about the need to capture kherson and zaporizhzhia, well, because they wrote it into their constitution, it does not change the essence, no matter how many plans you produce, how many concepts, even, not even so much plans, concepts you do not propose, but something must break in the spine of the russian regime so that they at least they are stuck on something, and here it is really important for us to have at least some kind of stencil. i hope that the plan that offers. president zelensky, this will be the same normal in our interests, well, first of all, in order for something in the backbone of russia to break, something must change in the vision of the world community of russia itself on the map of the world in general, as i have already said more than once, in order for something to change, something for russia to change in principle, or to disappear in the form in which it is now, for this

it is necessary to revise the principles. the concept of an approach to that, and how does the world see russia? to be honest, i am not so pleased, in some aspects i was surprised by the article by the economist, which is being discussed today, by the way, and it seems to say that ukraine really needs to be supported, that really we need to change the approach, but again... some aspects of this article, as we see it now on the screens, they are so russia-centric or russophile, for example, there is a quote about the rise of nationalist views in ukraine, or for example there is a quote that is again absolutely manipulative, where it is about russian speakers, i.e.... the problem is

that the world still looks at russia as a full-fledged subject, ukraine is very often looked at as such a subject an object, but to some extent an object, like a country, which is still somewhere there is in the sphere of influence of russia. i really, really don't like that this position still remains. and i don't like the fact that the world is still not ready to completely cancel russian, russian culture, russian in principle vision of our world, russian centers that are all over the world, they are, the problem here is something else, the problem is that , that we did not offer the ukrainian point of view to the world, by the way, i...
