7:14 pm
i.d.f. said that the victim along with another alleged terrorist had been planting a bomb but a mosque which controls gaza said he was unarmed and israeli defense minister praised his soldiers handling of the situation. i bagged the i.d.f. which killed the terrorist and collected the body this is how it should be done and this is how would will be done. israel has a policy of retrieving of the bodies of suspected palestinian militants although the practice violates international law we spoke to human rights advocate handy about the latest incident in gaza he told us it shows extreme cruelty on israel's part it's yet another proof of how israel in general treats palestinians including 3 things the bodies the always look to palestinians as inhuman and this is evident not only in this is in the in this case in thousands of cases what we have seen on t.v. suggests that they consider us like animals israel is not free to use whatever

7:19 pm
a threat to hundreds of thousands of civilians who are just trying to make it through the winter r.t.c. goes down of took a closer look on how several world powers have been tangled up in the italy but conflict. it's coming to shove in syria turkey and the us russia israel and multiple militant factions all skirmishing in the country and previous motives for warring are fading into oblivion. it's time for assad to get out of the way.
7:20 pm
we have one a good study says we've beaten them and we beat them badly all that is a thing of the past now as new goals vividly take shape the latest fighting in idlib is a mere accessory to the geopolitical connotation is global and regional superpowers sparring with each other for dominance ideological and moral borders are blurred with turkey a nato country teaming up with terrorists to push syrians out of their own province. the operation is imminent in particular we will not leave it to the regime which is not yet understood our country's determination on this issue and those who are encouraging it refuted to making it live a safe place for both and the people of the region at all costs militants

7:23 pm
strategic chess board in particular the united states and its allies basically tore syria apart partly designed to topple the. secular but legitimate government in syria the sovereign government the government recognized by the united nations partly to topple that government and partly to claim different parts of syria for themselves syria has been an important place in geo strategic lee in geographically in this resource rich region of the middle east and also has or will so yes what we've seen the tragedy of syria the tragedy of the so-called civil war is actually a proxy war by international players using the syrian country the syrian battlefield as a proxy battlefield. with the focus of the conflict other parts of syria are beginning to get back on their feet a vital highway between the capital damascus and aleppo officially reopened in the
