on the espresso tv channel, it will be more interesting. israel increases its shelling of lebanon. zmi is informed that the target. was the brother of the slain leader of hezbollah and his likely successor, where else will israel strike, or will it dare to strike at nuclear facilities on the territory of iran? we analyze it in today's edition of the bbc. i am olga polamaryuk. in response to iran's strike with ballistic missiles on october 1, the israeli army intensified its shelling of hezbollah's infrastructure in lebanon. powerful explosions rang out last night in the lebanese capital, beirut. several american soldiers wrote down the target of the attack could be a cousin of the leader killed last saturday. were, there were at least 10

strikes in the suburbs of beirut, the lebanese national news agency reported. the attack was called one of the strongest since the beginning of the israeli operation against hezbollah. the command of the israel defense forces does not comment on the attack on beirut. and here it is important, the strike on the suburbs of beirut is already being called more powerful than the previous one, when the leader of hezbollah, hassan nasrallah, was killed in the bunker. bbc correspondent hugo bachega, currently working in beirut, tells what the past night was like there. another night in beirut and new israeli strikes. war has returned to this city. and this blow thundered without an air alarm signal. we set off to inspect the damage caused by the impact. this is a residential building near the lebanese parliament. every day the threat to beirut grows. right here.

there was an emergency response group linked to hezbollah, it was destroyed. they were ordinary workers, that's true. we saw how they worked, helping people - says mustafa, who lives on the tenth floor of this building. destruction this building gives an understanding of the force of the blow. people are now trying to remove the debris. here. there are still medical masks, rubber gloves, bandages. you can also hear the sound of drones circling the air. this is a densely populated area of ​​beirut. these are among the victims of the attack, including one rescuer and two paramedics. according to the minister of health of lebanon, 97 medical workers were killed in israeli airstrikes across the country.

the israeli military has not commented on the attack, but this hezbollah representative does not words everything is clear, and our position remains the same, we have not deviated from it even an inch, and we will continue to follow this path. the cemetery on the other side of the road was also ruined. these days , neither the living nor the dead are at peace in beirut. as a result of the strikes, 37 lebanese residents died in a day, according to the information of the ministry of health there, more than 2,000 people have died since last october. the israeli army reports the destruction of a quarter of a thousand members of hezbollah and 21 commanders, these are data for the last few days. they are currently evacuating from lebanon people, israel urges them to leave the southern forces. his bochega will continue. the lebanese authorities say that already 1,200,000 people have left the conflict zone, and so... it is clear that there are

fears that the crisis will deepen and the conflict will continue, and many people are fleeing from the south, from the bakra valley and from the southern suburbs of beirut, this area , where hezbollah has a dense presence and people north to tripoli. it is an hour's drive from beirut. we talked today with one public organization. they reported that about 100 thousand people came here to tripoli. says that the current refugee situation is very difficult, and it is also a heavy burden not only on the public organizations that help, but also on the lebanese government. the un reported that all refugee shelters are full, and the number of people sleeping on the streets and in city squares continues to rise. it is about the fact that israel is planning a ground invasion of southern lebanon. for now, the israelis continue to talk about what is happening in southern lebanon. there is only

a targeted limited ground operation, but we see more and more villages and towns being evacuated, airstrikes intensifying, more israeli forces targeting. iran hit israel on the evening of october 1 with ballistic missiles and fired almost 200 rockets, this was revenge for the assassination of the leader of hezbollah, so this attack was explained at the time. and already today, the supreme leader of iran commented on the missile strike. ayatollah khamenei gave his friday sermon. how it was, see below. it was intended as a demonstration of the power of the deeply humiliated regime with a series of devastating strikes on its allies, hezbollah and hamas. first. supporters gathered to honor the memory of hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah, who was killed in an israeli strike a week ago. everyone willing to come here was given free transport, and later the supreme leader appeared. last week it was reported that he was forced to go into hiding, but now he has appeared in public

with a sermon. for the first time since 2020, since an american airstrike killed an iranian military commander. he called for telling that hamas had attacked legitimately israel a year ago and also said that iran's response on tuesday was for the death of the hezbollah leader. what our armed forces did was the least punishment for the usurping zionist regime, in response to the regime's outrageous crimes. delivered partly in farsi, partly in arabic, the speech was an attempt to rally muslims to stand up against israel. and restore iran's authority at the head of what they call the axis of resistance. on tuesday night, iran launched about 200 ballistic missiles at israel, and the world now is bracing for israeli retaliation, wondering how iran will react when it

happens. israel continues to hit hezbol. these are the explosions the day before in the suburbs of beiru and near the airport. the targets of these strikes were believed to be... another leader of the group, with statements coming from israel and iran, there is no hope of an end to the destruction and violence. and experts call the sermon of khmni a manifestation of unity, but at the same time the question remains, what will israel do next, what will its response be? western experts suggest that israel can strike at oil production or nuclear facilities on the territory of iran. so what objects can these be? and here is the opinion of an employee of the royal institute of defense research. israel has many options for repulse, they can hit iranian command posts in syria, this is one option. they could strike targets inside iraq, or even, as many speculate, strike iranian

infrastructure inside iran itself. one of the possible options for the strike could be iranian nuclear facilities. i'm not sure what kind of support there is from the international community. to count because the consequences of hitting an iranian nuclear facility would be huge, so really it's all up to israel now and the many options they have, and they have many options on how to respond and strike iranian infrastructure. what we are witnessing today is the failure of diplomacy for a long time. everything is getting out of control. the first problem we face is... that if we were to try to bring the lebanese government into negotiations, they don't control their southern border. this is a place where hezbollah forces have been entrenched for quite some time. they have built a network of tunnels and have been preparing for this war with israel for quite some time. so

the first thing is to ensure or strengthen the lebanese government's control over its southern border, that's the first thing. the second is to resume negotiations on a gas ceasefire. the situation will get out of control if a full-scale war breaks out in lebanon, because as soon as a new side of the conflict is added, what was on the negotiation table for the gas settlement will be impossible. but will they allow it? the united states of israel will strike iran's nuclear facilities, and this is what joe biden said about it. the answer is no. we will talk to the israelis about what they should do. we are all in a group of seven. we agree that israel has the right to respond, but this response must be proportionate. israel launched a military operation in lebanon at the beginning of the week, its goal is to destroy hezbollah's military infrastructure. the bbc's lucy williamson reports from the border between israel and lebanon. communities

along israel's northern border, now closed military zone. the road leads through an area that is well visible from hezbollah's position. israeli. the villages outnumber the residents along this border many times over, some just returned from lebanon, others waiting to enter. we walked the last few meters to the observation point in almost a void. this is where the buildings we cleared begin. the buildings that you hezbela are now broken. it is near the town of binjebeil, where the israeli army said on thursday it had destroyed hezbollah fighters. hezbollah said it targeted soldiers behind that hill. now we very close to the lebanese border, locals tell us that hezbollah villages are about 15 km from here. all last year people are here. now, for the first time in nearly two

decades , they look across the border and see israeli forces fighting hezbollah fighters on lebanese soil. lebanon can be seen from the taras house of dean svetlans. when all the residents were evacuated from the area a year ago, he, a former british soldier, stayed behind. eight years ago he came from london, his son serves in the israeli army and... now this is his home, it was very noisy, the house shakes three or four times a day, you have to run through the dusty exposure with dogs, we never know if it's anti-tank defenses, all you hear is whistling, we can't go on like this, we can't go on for another year or two years of hezbollah sitting on our border just waiting to do the same thing that happened on the 7th of october, but my son is in the military and... we want our children to be killed over there by hezbollah, which has been waiting almost 20 years.

they were waiting for us to come in. both israel's previous ground wars here began as limited operations. the risks of getting stuck in lebanon are well known to those who have walked this path before. now israel says, within the scope of the operation in the south of lebanon, it struck two thousand points. one of these points is the main road from lebanon to syria. israel says the militants were transporting weapons on... my colleagues from the bbc verifi department analyzed the footage and the significance of this route for thousands of lebanese. videos have spread showing the destruction caused by the strike near the main checkpoint on the border between lebanon and syria. as you can see the entire road is covered with debris, which is now impassable for vehicles. it is a key highway between beirut and damascus. if i show you... what it looks like on google earth as we approach this precipice, almost to the level of the road, so you'll get a good

idea, here's a freeze frame from the video that we verified, where we see the same precipice. a video posted on youtube in 2022 by a motorcyclist using the same road helped us verify the location. here is a frame from that video, the same pylons, the same mountain slopes and trees. as well as in the video of the destruction, the same section of the road was hit in 2006, here it is, to verify that the footage released today is new, we searched the web for images taken from the film, using various visualization tools, we located the location of the impact, here it is, 700m from the lebanese checkpoint and 5km from the actual border, the israeli military confirmed today that it struck the masna checkpoint as part of a wider operation against arms smuggling into lebanon. but what consequences

will all this have? this is a direct route to damascus, if you are trying to leave lebanon. the border area is so mountainous that the next checkpoint is 100 km to the north. this video is from friday morning, a few hours after the impact. here you can see people, families walking to syria, bypassing debris and obstacles. look. and on this scheme, the un refugee agency, where the movement of people is documented, since september 23, 185 thousand people have crossed the border into syria, most of them through this checkpoint, which is the main route of those fleeing from lebanon since the escalation of the conflict with hezbollah, so the blow we have shown here will have dramatic consequences for the refugee. and that's all we have time for... today, subscribe to our pages on social networks so as not to miss the most important news, traditionally we are on

political psychologist, ms. larisa, i congratulate you, thank you for joining our broadcast, and yanina sokolova, journalist. tv presenter, public figure, blogger, author of a youtube channel, millionaire, or already more than a million subscribers, subscribe if you are not already subscribed, yanina, i also congratulate you, thank you for joining our broadcast. greetings to larisa, greetings to sergey, greetings to all viewers. well, larisa yanivno, since we are asking our viewers and tv viewers whether they think the idea of ​​economic harrowing from mobilization is appropriate, let's share with... your thoughts, what do you think about it, in the format of a blitz poll. let's start with ioannina, please, this is an ambiguous story, given the fact that you and i are faced with a large number of corruption schemes every day, and today is just an enchanting story, with two corrupt men, corrupt women who made millions

of dollars, now we already know , that it is millions, not one and not two, millions of dollars to, well, roughly we counted. about 30,000 people, these are only a few cases for today, avoided mobilization with the help of money they paid to people who helped them with the help of this medical fake commission, evade mobilization, so the question arises whether this money could go to the state, and it would be appropriate, but on the other hand, as a person who communicates with the military every day, patronizes... military families, takes care of them in the hospital, i understand that this is a story of injustice, when there is an option, when people have money, for this money. they avoid the opportunity, the chance, the honor to defend the state, that is why this story is not unambiguous, i think that you should ask about this not from civilians,

but from the military, their opinion, i think, will be fair as an answer to this. thank you, yanina, larisa, i have a question for you, i know that your relatives are at the front, and obviously you know their position, but it is interesting to know your position personally regarding the expediency. well , here is an attempt, here the situation is that uh, when we talk about this whole situation, i very much agree with yanina that it is ambiguous, it is precisely about those who evade not only registration, we are not talking now about people who are supposed to go directly to the front tomorrow, no, they were not registered, they did not comply with the law and the constitution, but at the same time, in this law, as far as i understand, it is about the fact that it is necessary to confirm the salary. that is, these people work somewhere, receive a salary, show minimal or none, and simply do not pay taxes, that is, they evade

everything, in general, which is the survival of the modern state, and it is very unfortunate that we have to resort to such steps, to force people to pay taxes and fulfill the requirements of the law during such a period, of course for the military this is a humiliation, at the same time we have, that is, they understand that they are superfluous in this country, that they have been counted on, this is how it sounds in hakopi, this is very bad, bad conversations, again we see that at the same time the question is, will there be economic demobilization, because many people who serve had a legal salary higher than they are now being asked to show, and always paid taxes, and paid taxes, went to war, that is, they are responsible citizens, unfortunately, we still have to decide what we ... fight with this legal nihilism, which is raging in our country, simply for many decades, and because it does not happen that some citizens build the country, pay taxes, monitor

political processes, monitor officials, prevent corruption, that is, go to rallies, and others simply consume their lives, because it is really happening now, that some of our citizens, this immoral majority, consume the lives of others, in fact they already directly. responsible citizens, it's simple, well, it's already shameful. thank you, larisa, serhiy, i can say two words about this. i remember how four months ago, one of my friends, a soldier who was in captivity, an azov, was in captivity, ah, the extraction procedures were delayed, he is in a terrible condition, with 60% burns on his body, he was in captivity, he was rotting there in a donetsk hospital, after what did they exchange him for, he ... rehabilitated as best he could and went to fight again, and then the fpv drone hit the landing where they were defending our country, and he is in the hospital, he

was transferred to kyiv, from the dnipro, i come to him, and he's a man with injuries that, well, he didn't think would give him a chance to move my hands, because everything was just crushed there, and i go into the intensive care unit, and he is lying there alone and says to me: ms. yenina, do you see how it is? war for the poor, those who do not have the opportunity to pay, to evade, who do not have the opportunity to take care of themselves in various cases of life and my family, this guy has a pregnant wife who will give birth here, they will not have the opportunity to do anything in life to do something further, to move and move the country forward, because we are simply poor - he said, a guy from the kherson region, these were the first the words he used to meet me. resuscitation, it is you, so that you understand the opinion, it is clear that this is not representative, and some soldiers who sacrifice everything, being in hell more than once or twice, but go, fight and

protect, well, those monsters that i was driving now on the air, she hurried, yes, all restaurants in kyiv are full of men with athletic physiques, where it is impossible to get into, and all of them, i suspect, are dodgers, is this fair, well, the real question is, you? ianino has already been mentioned, about this episode, or rather, about two episodes, one of one of them happened in khmelnytskyi, where the state bureau of investigation today exposed the head of the khmelnytskyi regional center for medical and social expertise msek and regional council member from the servant of the people party, tetiana krupa , and her son, oleksandr krupa, for illegal enrichment; during the searches, they only found almost $6 million in cash in different currencies. law enforcement officers are investigating the case of illegal registration of disability for men who are trying to avoid military service, among what this lady has... and her son, and

real estate both in khmelnytskyi and abroad, accounts abroad, that is, quite large sums circulated in this family, and here a completely logical question arises: here is larisa, in khmelnytskyi, which is small by standards, a small city by european standards, no one knew who tetyana krupa was, and if she had such... a huge amount of money, it is clear that many people communicated with her, resolved these issues regarding disability, it is clear that the special services should have seen it as well, because she kept a hotel there in khmelnytskyi, that is, she did not live on her salary , and it was visible, nine cars, that is, a very wealthy family, and obviously this family was somehow embedded in the system that obviously operates in our country, and we are talking about billions of dollars, just

billions of dollars. who are now engaged in this shadowy business, illegal business of removing conscripts from service in the armed forces of ukraine. what is this episode talking about, did they stop working with this whole system that they were with, that they were incorporated into, or was it just a case of randomly picking someone was taken to show another woman. in kharkiv there, and she too, she solved the issue for $29,000, too, provided some services there, regarding how to avoid mobilization. well, the fact is that all these things, we are talking about the fact that they are massive, and we have to understand that this is not the systemic corruption of yanukovych's time, where every official, or there the pps officer goes out into the street, and we know that he has an order of how much he

should bring in the evening. to the boss, the boss folds into a box, and the box folds in a suitcase, and all this goes to the first office. no, we are talking about the fact that this situation has led to the fact that this morality, this is, you know, the moral degradation of society, it is everywhere, so in this case no one sees a problem for themselves, to participate or commit a crime, because how are we living for the last time, these are all such marauders, they are actually such... not even marauders, i don't know, they are some kind of corpse eaters, that's what it should be called, the country is dying, the country is fighting for its life, these people gnaw like a jackal, that's why that there is an important point here, those who brought this madam money, according to our legislation, are the same criminals, giving a bribe and taking a bribe, this bribery, is the same crime in our country, let's remember this situation, the scandal surrounding the attempt of one of the people's deputies

to give... a bribe to mr. nayen, andriy, andriy odarche, that is, a crime, each of those who brought money to madame is the same criminal as she. but look, if we look at the public publicity of all the things, everyone says that the poor cherries, and the bad government, and the corrupt, so these military commissars and doctors, they are elected, no, they are together in... a criminal scheme, each of them, as a result, it costs the lives of people who are on the front line for the third year, this is a crime not against some state, you, me, it is a crime against specific people who have been fighting for three years, the same civilians, who still have a civilian profession, are not released, everyone who was mobilized in the first days is still being cleaned, you know, and you have such people on the channel, they are civilians, they are not professional military, they don't have contracts,

they fulfilled. the mobilization law, and now they pull this law, being mobilized, because they found other excuses for themselves, schemes and everything else, they committed a criminal scheme, well, a conspiracy actually against them, against their families, so we have to say that this whole system is criminal, and we have to understand that it is impossible to fight this denunciation, that wai-wai-wai, how do you, how do you not, how are you not ashamed, we have countries nearby that... live in total mobilization, for example, the same israel, somehow there is such a mass in every village and city, this does not happen, we see countries in which, for example, non-payment of taxes is a federal crime, and it does not happen massively there either, that you have millions of people sitting at home, who have the opportunity to pay a reservation of 20 thousand and above, that is, they are not the last ones, they have to show their salary for such a tax, well, at least 1050 , or even 100, they

receive salaries. and it turns out for today .
