a very good morning, 5 am here in moscow and from wherever you are tuning into the program. welcome to our international, the weekly i'm bureau is about with the top news stories for this hour and the past week. gaza claims 3 children have been killed. israel's latest attack on the strip with the death toll rising to 24. since the moment tel aviv renewed it strikes on friday. israel has denied accusations of the attack saying an unsuccessful launch of a heavy rocket by palestinian militants was behind the desk late on saturday. palestinian islamic jihad militants fired rockets that television in response to the deadly attack on gaza. journalist hand the cool diary reports from a local hospital as the israeli aggression on the gaza strip continues. and the 2nd day of the aggression comes to an end. we are now in elk for hospital one of the main hospitals in the gaza strip that i received at least 140 palestinian citizens

. that has been insured by israeli airstrikes since yesterday, according to the minister of her health, at least 15 palestinians have been killed. as so fired there is nothing are clear. we are still hearing explosions in the background. and they're still at fire exchange in and out of gaza strip. and as you see, the ambulances are everywhere, ready and steady to receive any injuries from the gaza strip. today at least 5 palestinian residential houses have been targeted. hundreds and i have been left homeless, tens of palestinians have been injured and this will continue. this is not the 1st escalation or aggression that gaza strip had been a witness seeing, we witnessed a huge escalation, 200820122014. and last year it was

a deadly 11 day of aggression palestinians in the gaza strip. are, are, are waiting, are anxious. a waiting for us. he is flyer, but at the same time there are pleased 5 calloused indians in the icy units. and we see families waiting to hear anything about their beloved ones that are either injured in the i. c unit or injured and receiving treatment in else you for hospital. we can also see in the sky, external agenda for year, and we still don't know what that to note is hiding for us. but it's very obvious that there's no choose or any ceasefire agreement. and all the news that there's egyptian delegations and you and interfering for a cease fire have been not officially confirmed. unfortunately,

palestinians are waiting and no one is safe. everyone is looking forward for a shelter. this was in the put eddie from gaza, palestine earlier on saturday. the israeli army struck a residential building and gaza. ah, ah, ah, tel aviv says it's prepared to conduct the military operation for at least a week with exchanges of fire continuing for the 2nd day in a row. israel claims garza has fired more than $449.00 rockets towards israel overnight. and throughout saturday, one of the rockets reportedly hit a residential building in the israeli city of ask and lawn. ah

oh, most of the rockets fired at israel were intercepted by the iron dome system. this footage reportedly shows the interception of the missiles from gaza over the israeli city of neural local residence, shared with us their views on the ongoing conflict with the iron dome system. probably hit a rocket that fell on the roof of my neighbour. we had a big boom. we've got used to this situation. it's not good, but unfortunately we are used. it. name is alana to mother. luckily, the family, 2 parents and 2 children were acting according to the safety instructions and went into the shelter and this is what kept them safe. but generally we are ready for all kinds of events. we estimate that the heavy fire of rockets will continue in the coming hours and even in the coming days, we're getting ready to evacuate residence to morrow and during the week, which will seem as in past operations. darrow is a city that has got used to the terror of rockets for over 20 years. the conflict

flared, one idea of forces killed, a commander of the islamic jihad movement hitting a residential building in the process. 10 people died in the strike including a 5 year old girl which sparked protest and an armed response from local militants . as the world watches the worsening of the already dire humanitarian situation and gaza electricity and much of the area has already been cut due to fuel deliveries to the strip being stopped by television, we discussed the crisis and the international response to it with human and labor rights lawyer, dan public. life is franco li, according to the un on livable in gaza. and now without any electricity, which is also going to affect of course, the ability to pump water was, people will be on the verge of, of it on sustainability. and that's of course, the whole plan that israel high, i've been saying for years that this is

a slow moving gen. israel has been blockading garza preventing garza from getting life saving medicines, getting food again from getting the water. israel wants to either forcibly removed or destroy the population in gaza. that means the definition of a genocide, i don't see the international community as for settling its duties to prevent war crimes and human rights abuses against people in the occupied territories. and i want to add, you know, the u. s. recently said, well, we think is your eyes the right to defend itself. well, what about the palestinians right? to defend themselves. the c u. s. supports the genocide. let's face the u. s. c's. israel is, it's client, stay as the chair in the middle east, and it supports it's designs on taking over all the occupied territories.

it's been 3 days since pelosi left taiwan, but tension between china and the us remain high in the wake of the us. how speakers controversial visit beijing launched military drills over the island, making good on its promise. that type pay will pay a price for hosting the u. s. official. beijing's military exercises around the island included ballistic missile launches, which landed in the waters of ty, one's northern, southern and eastern zones. china's armed forces also conducted drills and 6 soda employee surrounding the violin. beijing's military said the exercises were focused on training for a joint blockade. the target of fall and air space control taipei condemn beijing as an evil neighbor next door, also accusing china of destroying the taiwan strait with military drills. washington also criticized the drills describing them as irresponsible and provocative and retaliation for the how speakers trip. beijing has several cooperation with washington and several key areas. china is foreign ministry stated

cooperation is our frozen. an area such as dialogue between defense departments, military maritime consultation cooperation on illegal migration and crime as well as climate change. chinese military officials have also allegedly stop responding to cause from their pentagon counterparts. let's take a look at how the situations have been developing. how speaker nancy pelosi is plan to visit taiwan potential stop in taiwan, visiting taiwan, visiting taiwan y issue, insisting that you may well go to taiwan. it would be a serious violation of the one china principal and a grave infringement on china sovereignty and territorial integrity. those who play with for you come to know who's

we are in china's military assembling at 60 pages around the iowa china relations are on shaky ground. seems to me your main goal was to stir up trouble. thanks for bringing more problems to the world. america. with measures are being directed as to the space. now the u. s. is acting treacherously on the taiwan issue with

taiwan was also affected by policies trip. as china, the islands biggest trading partner, banned imports from more than 30 taiwanese companies, arches, nicky era and take a closer look at the consequences of policies visit to taipei. toner is already taking action as it warned it would fall out from pillows. these whirlwind trip has been swift and brutal to quite rightly. people are asking the question, we have seen the chinese authorities take multiple economic actions against individual chinese companies and entire sectors of the economy. one has already paid the opposite and is likely to continue to do so. the coming days of week, what concrete tangible benefits could be promised taiwan, offset the cost of your trip. a tricky question. slickly deflected because she knew exactly what she'd done and americans have made a bit of a habit of doing things like this,

throwing others under the bus in service of their own goals and the consequences over this brief trip are already taking hold global market so spooked and the largest military drills around tie one in decades. ah let's say, might prove that the economic measures imposed by china will hurt taiwan. the most staging has already banned imports from $35.00 taiwanese exports plus restrictions on some fruit and fish. and we might not sound like a big deal, the ban on son to which the island was already short of plus if a key component of ty, one's greatest export semiconductors, which have not be mentioned. well, not yet. if aging does decide to go further, people on the streets will be sure to feel it. china is tie,

one's largest trading partner after all. so is it any wonder that there were people in taiwan who weren't engaging in the pillow? see, love fest money on the bill. what do you mean below? see what the hell i doing here right now? come all the way here to sport the 2. these people support yourself. you want to support us to fight against the peoples of the ration army that americans always ask us to let more day when people join the army. whenever you come to taiwan or want us to buy more weapons from you and fight against the people's liberation army and urban terrain, it's none of your business. i here to support taiwan or to provoke a war. what the hell are you doing here below see the relationship between the mainland until one is already very tense. you're supporting to one, but we don't need your support. you are literally fearing oil on the flames. you only make things worse. so who did this flying visits? first was simply pelosi. he wanted to be pictured in a chair in ty pay before he attention. he gets kicked out this november, or was it the war hawks in washington hooping ratcheting up the china rhetoric for

months now? oh, and of course, the military industrial complex, the very heart of american foreign policy american officials have been quietly pressing their tie when these counterparts to buy weapons suitable for a symmetric warfare. a conflict in which is smaller, military uses mobile systems to conduct lethal strikes on a much bigger force. we could say what it has here is a win win. not only does it make money on selling weapons, but it also has a leaf on us weapons at the ready in the region. should it decide it needs them? as we know, tie one wouldn't be the 1st to pay the price for the policy. the dc warhawks people in afghanistan are starving because the government can't access its own money, which is frozen by the us. those tens of thousands of venezuelans have paid the ultimate price of the u. s. as punitive sanctions. and then there's the ukranian people who critic say dying needlessly, just in american poet and the u. s. proxy war with russia. but apparently in the

long run, it's always a price worth paying. we have heard that a half a 1000000 children of god. i mean, that's more children than died when i went in here a shame and you know, if the price worth it, i felt this is a very hard choice, but the price we think the price is worth it. so now he has tie one and pelosi won't even give it a 2nd thought she got her photo after all, the vice president of the center for china and globalization. victor gauss says pelosi completely disregarded warnings from being not to visit taiwan. nancy pelosi now in the bay is completely disregarding the repeated counseling by the us president joe biden. that timing was not right for her to video taiwan. and she completely disregarded the repeated walden by the chinese government. because

china says her visit will hollow out the one china policy will be in violation on the one john the policy and will really cause more damage to china. us relations. what she brings is only bad news and disaster she made really grow a big wedge in the china, us relations on the one hand and in the cross street relations. on the other hand, i think it is the aggressive nature of the united states. in this part of the world, and this is also one reason why we do not have regional stability and peace prevailing to a very large extent. the ramifications of policies visit have already been felt by local markets. shares fell in semiconductor manufacturers in taiwan home to the largest of such companies in the world. overall tie when he stalks dropped about 2 percent the biggest fall in 3 weeks. the controversial visit of the us house

speaker brought down the share values of a number of industry giants. in addition, the fall in stock was felt not only in taiwan, but also by other global semiconductor manufacturers. earlier my colleague union o'neill discuss the situation with alfred, desirous professor of international law and angelo, juliano, a political and financial analysts. we americans love annoying, although we are focusing our fingers and drew their eyes from that shows that we are number one and we don't even realize that we are 6. we do this because it makes us feel good. it's part of the informational war, and it's part of the penal for the feeding into the of the chinese, as we have been led to here. russia and fear of russia that are so by

definition we're the good guys and we're finding the good one. i don't believe when these are buying it and the rest of the world is not buying in latin. america is not buying it. neither is india. and of course, not rush hour bell or russia and many other countries in europe with china, apparently not carrying military maneuvers in the area. is this historically recently, at least the closest we've come to a major incident between the 2 powers? yes, absolutely. so keep in mind, this is a sure force shana needs to do something. shanna doesn't want to lose face. it was, it goes to taiwan. something nice to happens if the u. s. is thinking that china bluff, it's making a huge mistake. international community would not point directly finger at the west and say that ultimately, if there's a reform response,

the responsibility would come from china. so it's, it's just, it's been all coordinated, coordinated these, it's not, it's not a private enterprise. he of nancy pelosi, what they want to do in asia is to fight china to the last, taiwanese, they will have other countries fighting the was on behalf of the u. s. one could also ask, just as alfred alluded to their how helpful this is for the taiwanese themselves. is there an argument to be made that they could be less than a much more tense environment done before despite pelosi is trying to achieve or says she wants to to keep in mind that one is actually defacto economically integrated with china. so you have a de facto integration. it is going against how one's interest at least one civilian has been killed and 9 others wounded, including children in the ukranian shelling of a residential block in the city of al chives in the logan's republic. that's

according to local authorities. this amateur foot is reportedly from the scene shows part of the building in flames with the shell impact trader apparently seen on the ground nearby. official say the fire was sparked by a direct hit on the civilian building. windows have been blown out and some near by homes have also been damaged in the neighboring don. yes, republic officials say at least one civilian was killed in 7 others wounded in saturday, shelling of the city by ukrainian forces. this on verified amateur footage appears to show the aftermath of the attacks saturday, showing allegedly targeted apartment blocks in the center of don. yes, a local school was also hit with no casualties reported though the building itself was heavily damaged. this comes after a previous round showing on friday, killing 5 civilians and wounding $31.00 more according to don. yes, authorities, we spoke to some of the victims in the hospital used to go to school. there was

a whistle and an explosion work and then everything was on fire. i turned my head and saw that my wife was thrown into the passenger compartment. i want to find her myself, but i had no strength left. my life died. i have shopped on my leg and broken thoughts, my 2nd liken swollen and also i have burned my daughter and i arrived at the hospital at 1st it was quiet. then there was an impact. we heard an explosion, i grabbed the child and said done. and then came a 2nd blast. then i went to the trauma department, the nurse there said you're bleeding. the doctor's examined me and the child, i had sharpness in me. and the child also had 3 fragments, a big one and 2 smaller ones. meanwhile, going yes, republics for so supported by the armed forces of the russian federation continued to move westward toward the borders of the republic. earlier this week, during yes republic forces claimed to have taken control of most of the town of

pesky a key point used by ukrainian troops as a firing position to target the region. the militia continues to move toward of the car with battles in the area, ongoing r t correspondent, role mon, closer of reports from the ground. we are heading to their frontline positions just on the outskirts of genetic along with the nest republics, 100 and 85th infantry battalion. now ukrainian positions are a mere 500 meters away from where we're heading. we have to walk very carefully and constantly look down because this area also came under shuttling many, many times, and ukraine had spread those butterfly mines here. once you step on one of those, you can tear your leg off. now this is one of the temporary positions of the 100 and 85th, a battalion of ids and netscape republic, ukrainian army positions are very close. this is the place where they arrest. you

can see have a bunk beds right over there. and the guys are just waiting to store me for any positions right now. have a chance to speak with one of the fighters, foremost, for faith. our battalion consists entirely of reservists, but these are ordinary civilians who previously worked as teachers, doctors, salesman, miners drivers. for those we just want peace to finally come. so our wives will become and children will stop dying was working with all the fight has become more intense. the ukrainians have started fighting back more. but we've made a major push lately. half of the ukrainians aren't actively fighting. there are many people who were mobilized, who were forced to come here laser gazing at some of the ukrainian surrender, but most of them are afraid was that they can't go back close behind them won't let him out alive like this. and if they move in our direction, they will be shot in the back go with i was how we've reached the frontline positions of the 105th infantry division,

ukrainian army positions used to be had that a couple of 100 meters away from here. but now this battalion have already moved forward, so you cranes positions are now at least 500 meters away. we are in the trenches at the moment and there are constant reminders. be careful. it says caution. the sniper is working. nope. as we get neutral, it's been heated here in recent days. there's artillery in tanks firing. there are counter attacks from the ukrainian side. there is massive fire from our scientists, but we're moving towards africa taking up positions. we are in a positive mood feeling good. now we asked the military if we could to raise the drone here to take a look at the cranium positions. they said, yes, we could do that, but our drone could be stolen by ukraine, so they offered their own renovation. what they're doing right now is attaching a line from a fishing rod to the drone. and they said in case there's some kind of electronic

warfare or ukraine will intercept our drone, will be able to really back. ah, we're now leaving the frontline positions of the 185th battalion of the nest peoples army. they've made quite a lot of progress in the last few days and moved deeper into the territory currently controlled by ukrainian nationalist. it is hope that this progress, their advance will continue and ukrainian nationalists will finally stop shelling the people of done exc room on cost to have archie learners, people's republic. the landscape top advisor says ukraine will hold peace tarts when it has the military might to repel russia while

a growing number of global voices call for negotiations. much of the western establishment stands continues to have repercussions on all sides, are to contributor rachel mars and has more. is it even possible to be against dumping more weapons into ukraine and in favor of a negotiated piece without being denounced as a kremlin mouthpiece? an increasing number of prominent western figures are bucking the status quo and taking their chances. mexican president, under his manuel lopez oberon door, was already one of the very 1st set of the gate back in april to call for a peaceful resolution. do you see? it is still time to call for peace to reach agreements that we have to achieve. peace so that neither of the people of ukraine, nor of the people of russia, nor any people in the world continue to suffer and suffer from this rationality and will decline to impose anti russian sanctions. at the outset of the conflict, citing the desire to have good relations with all the governments in the world,

he also criticized western censorship of russian state media. now former british labor party leader, jeremy corbin sat in an interview on lebanese tv this week. that weapons won't bring peace than the world will comp and suddenly realised that fostering ukraine all the world's biggest, grey exporters and something has to be done. so they came up to an agreement, and i hope it holds to export grain through odessa and through the boss for a straight to the rest of the world. this is a good move, but at the same time, putting more and more arms since ukraine isn't going to bring about peace. the 1st lady of ireland, sabina higgins, called for peace talks and a ceasefire between russia and ukraine in a letter published by the irish times. and then said that she was dismayed that she was attacked for it. and particularly for saying that both sides for some responsibility, instead of placing all the blame on russia, despite their noisy blustery rhetoric about more weapons for ukraine and the need

for keith to win. militarily, european union countries are feeling the pinch of their own sanctions. former german chancellor, gerhard schroeder pointed out the obvious solution to his own country, self imposed suffering. the simplest solution would be to start up the operation of no stream to which has been completed, but really gets tired. regarding gus, we have this pipeline and with both pipelines together, there would be no supply problem for germany. industrial households, she don't want to use nos trim to any help to face the consequences. it's such a stunningly simple, readily available remedy for the dire circumstances that lay ahead if he, you maintains its current course. not that ukrainian officials seem to care too much about the suffering of citizens in europe or apparently their own. they are activating various emissaries with theses that the terrorist stayed allegedly, once in a go ations, it is simply disgusting when former leaders of powerful states with european values worked for russia, which is fighting against these values. unsurprisingly,

nails secretary general is doubling down unquestionably affected if not flatow counterproductive. ideological postures to the detriment of pragmatic solutions will, provides in a lot of support. but we need to do even more and be prepared for the long haul. therefore, we're also now in close contact and working closely with the defense industry to produce and deliver more of different types of ammunition, weapons, and capabilities. nothing would make the military industrial complex happier or richer than a long hall military conflict. and across the pond in washington, the war hawks are only too happy to continue. exploiting the opportunity to have ukraine willingly do its dirty work. as long as the way up ukraine with the weapons, a need and economic support. they will fight to the last person in my view, the globally slither a strategy, escalades and prolonged war and decreases the chance of peace without

american russian galks. that of you will never be peace in ukraine. it's long pastime to ask by those advocating for peace and negotiations are being attacked by the western establishment. while those who benefit from continued fighting hardly raised an eyebrow. that was the weekly with this hour and this week's most pressing new stories for documentaries and more new. check us out at r t dot com and be sure to follow up on our social media pages on instagram facebook. see you soon for ah .
