boomerang, oh, a ah, the cranium walk is full near nuclear power pounds and the country's found controlled by russia for the 2nd time in 2 days. walking 1st phase of a potential disaster. israel says it has accomplished its objective in garzo with the military operation. in his final stage is at least 31. p would have been killed bearing cooling, 6 children. amid a lack of condemnation from the west. i know that we can talk stories trying to effect this military muff, those around time want in response to a provocative visit to the islands by us. how speak in nancy pelosi despite beijing warning against and

with hello and welcome. you're watching the weekly here. we're not the international with the latest. well, news updates along with the reminder of the stories that shaped the week. it's good to have you with this. now ukraine has showed the area near a nuclear power plant in the countries south. the 2nd time in 2 days, that's according to russian, back to officials and new cranes, the southern progeny i region, who say rockets and shrapnel found just a few 100 meters from the atomic facility. oh, has them all the footage released by local authorities? it shows the aftermath of sun bays attack, ukraine's military is said to have used multiple rocket launchers with close to munitions, to show the area near the active nuclear power plant. russia has previously warned that a direct hit on the react as could cause dissolved. was that then to enable a previous shelling of the area to late on friday, sparking

a fire at the facility with some power lines linked to the plant also going down last month, the site was bummed with remotely controlled drones. ok of denies responsibility for the attacks and has blamed moscow instead. meanwhile, the international atomic energy agency has raised the alarm over the security of the nuclear power clowns, but has stopped short of putting the blame on ukraine. the a has received information about the serious situation, military action, jeopardizing the safety and security of the zap, rosy nuclear power plant is completely unacceptable and must be avoided at all costs. any military firepower directed at or from the facility would amount to playing with fire, with potentially catastrophic consequences. the a leadership is aware of the real risk of a nuclear catastrophe that the neo nazis in kiev are creating for the whole world. but they do not take any real steps to curb the criminal actions of the ukrainian government. you know, the i, e, a is right to speak out. but why aren't they naming the perpetrator?

you know, it's not military action. it's ukrainian military attack against a peaceful nuclear power facility. that's what's happening here. and i think you have to provide that name, that recognition of who is responsible for this in order to better come up with a solution because the solution will come when nations like the united states, the nato nations, european union let ukraine know with, with 0 doubt that to continue this would put all support at risk that this is unacceptable. is apple rossi, a nuclear power plant, is the largest in europe and is among the top 10 in the world. it's reactive compounds enough power supply. millions of people with 50 percent more capacity than the infamous renewable plans for the us marine corps intelligence offices, scott ritter again, told us the world needs to take urgent action to prevent creating a disaster. this is

a war zone that has significant air defense. i can guarantee you that the air defense units of both ukraine, russia and the nato nations monitoring the situation and recorded and track the incoming artillery. so this, this has a ready answer. there is no question. it's simply ukrainian government, muddy the waters for a political race relations purposes. and then the world needs to put pressure on ukraine. you know, this is you're responsible. this is not self defense. this is putting the world at risk. this is ukraine holding the world hosted mitigation of a nuclear disaster in a time of war is nearly impossible. so not only would the disaster occur, but you wouldn't get the kind of conservative focused emergency response that you had, for instance, with your noble. so this thing can just spiral out of control. this is a very dangerous situation as well as prime minister. so the goals of the country's

military operation in garza have been accomplished as comes amid the media reports claiming the 2 sides of agreed to implement a sci fi at 8 p. m. local time. later on sunday, that is said to have been mediated by egypt has been no official confirmation of these report so far. the military conflict think garza has claimed the lives of 31 people that in the past 3 days, the city and health officials say 3 children have been killed and israel lake has tried the idea fast denied responsibility for the late civilian casualties on sunday. it is plain the atlantic jihad movement for the death. televi say that these 585 rockets have been 5 in the country from garza. although the, i don't, a defense system has intercepted most of them. palestinian officials say some 650 buildings have been damaged in garza as well. some of the locals have been caught in the crossfire. i had to say the sabbath without any warning. they targeted the

area near the kuwaiti hospital. or of course, it is a camp, crowded with children, women, and the elderly section. they targeted houses with 6 missiles, 6 houses were completely destroyed. the law for the attack was very terrifying. we ran away in panic and fear among the children and women got in the machine should. the bulldozers could not go through. so they asked me to demolish my house so that they could enter to save people from the inside. i agreed and allowed them to as people's lives are more important in saving them is more valuable than my house. chavez. when he's local journalist, who drake reporting from a funeral procession in garza, today's the 3rd day of the is right. the aggression on the gaza strip and now we are in the middle of the north of the cause of trip. now there is a funeral that's going out of the mosque out the mosque where at least 5 palestinian children have been killed last night. so many is ready for us to see how the nurse are here to read the law of the children. according to the palette

sitting minute job has at least have been killed since the 1st day of digression, at least 200 policy and not been wanted. they are a bleak house, condemned israel in court. the strongest possible terms of it's a military operation that says brussels is justified, the bombing of dogs, this bulking outrage from one l. spoken european and pay the you calls for maximum restraint on all sides in order to avoid a further escalation and further casualties. while israel has the right to protect its civilian population, everything must be done to prevent a broader conflict. so this is what joseph burl calls. israel has the right to protect its civilian population. seriously murder and grandmothers and 5 year old girls. amazingly no e o calls to sanctioned a poppy israel and send arms to god. so people can defend themselves. sika found to

kipper gretz, iran has previously also slammed as well for its military operation, voicing support for guns as islamic jihad, militant group, and saying that they are not alone. meanwhile, ukraine's 1st lady has praised for she causes well resilience corn and get on the inspiring example for kenneth. let's discuss this further with our guests. now. lebanese journalist mohammed clyde said, joining us when bay ruth, tom political analyst and new day who's in the west bank. thank you both for joining us on the program. this 1st question i'd like to pose to both, if you, if you know, could answer 1st please. i'd like to ask, will you make these reports of possible sees far agreements and the news from israel. meanwhile, claiming that its military operation has been successful, wanting to sticks us back to the fact that israel initiated this aggression. it took all measures a possible to increase attention whether in the west bank or the gaza strip. it had

specific pre planned premeditated targets for extra judicial execution, namely to very prominent palestinian islamic. she had leaders who are in assassinated on friday and this and yesterday, and as such, given the efforts by egypt and the serious concern egypt have as a responsible actor for further deterioration. the israeli government might just pull out and stop this onslaught before it deteriorates further and things been out of control and they stop being politically, let's say lucrative before you left the than his allies in the upcoming is really election over to mohamad. would you agree with no, a few that yeah, i do agree, especially on the guard, the, it's basically driven by the fact that the ones to kind of

romanticize is down with the right movement and israel, which is something that also, i mean benjamin netanyahu was done in the previous the previous or fights woodwinds with god, and the palestinian resistance movements and former by ministered as well every time there is a lot with the lady parties. there is always going to be a military operation, whether against the got the step, whether in the occupied palestinian territories or even whether in syria or live on . it's interesting though, isn't it? mohammed did we see previously said this widespread western condemnation of russia, russia, which started dates, military operation, ukraine over secure, as you can see, the now israel is doing the same sort of thing, but isn't getting quite the same coverage. i race opperation in the west. so what

do you make of the same government that would never get the same coverage that would never get the same on the nation as we've heard from the you and they always call for with trains, they always call for for the whole they're always calling for that, but when russia did the same thing with blood defending and russian citizens, and if they're in your brain you, you saw the sanctions, you saw a gun, the nation diplomatic problems we have. and i mean, this book school was banned from, from the universities. even, i mean, any of that has the name of food on it. they just banded or change the name. but you never see that happening with israel in 1948 in the existence of israel out of bade. you wouldn't never seen such gone the nations would never see any military threats against israel and fire at any aggression against the senior citizens all over occupied ballot. i'm not only in palestine but also and live on

on and in syria. and we have a lot of history here in live on, on concerning. thank you and know i, let's talk about last night attack because the israel claims that children were killed to, to this on success. what they call non successful launch of a rocket by the islamic jihad group. and then we have the palestinians, who say it's and is really asked like this to blame for those deaths. it's always, there's always a finger pointing, isn't that when it comes to death? what's your assessment of the even claims of both sides, the claims or what the chances of an independent investigation here? well, there are several things to keep in mind. one, it's important for the viewers to remember that in the israel and it's army have 0 credibility when it comes to claiming who killed, who especially palestinian civilians, who are usually the victims of israel, li, aggression. and just recently israel ill, the palestinian journalist and it tried to 1st blame palestinian then to kind of

spin off in different directions through a deflection or outright lies. so the credibility here is, is basically non existence. and another thing is, there are several very highly credible, reputable human rights organizations on the ground in god's that they will be for sure, conducting investing their own investigations and verifying what happened on the ground. there is no doubt that several children who were killed in roughly were killed by israeli. a targeted attack which, you know, assassinated, that prominent p j b i g leader. the incident in question is in job valia. and there is, you know, again, very little credibility for the israeli account. so we have to wait for verifiable, cooperation, or independent information from a credible sources. at the end of the day, though,

really no matter what the investigation comes up with israel bears responsibility for every ounce of blood shed in the gaza strip over the past few days over the past years. really, israel is the occupying power under international law. it has full responsibility for the well being of the population it occupied. it is committing crimes under international law against the palestinian population in gaza. and no matter what it does or says it bears responsibility for the cries. the reality in does that before this on flock was not rosy. it was not peaceful, it was not comfortable for palestinian in god's are more than 2000000 palestinians have lived under siege and daily aggression over every detail of their life. and because of israel's control and occupation over their lives over what goods can enter to the gaza strip, what medicine can enter what sick patients can leave the gaza strip and and go to

palestinian hospital in the west bank. that is an aggression and it's non stop. it is systematic and it happens every day. so it's not just about the missile missiles raining down on palestinian children and families. it's about the reality, the violet, brutal traumatizing reality of occupation and impunity for that matter. that has been going on for far too long for far too many decades. i just remind our view is the idea has denied responsibility for the latest civilian casualties on sunday. and it's playing the islamic jihad movement for the death. coming back to you mohammed, we've seen a strong condemnation of israel's operation from the arab league and the wrong however, know many arab countries about to the voice that support for god as islamic jihad group. so just how much unity is there in the our, well, over these conflicts. well, talk is cheap. to be honest. i mean,

it's really astonishing. all, these are nations with other financial, political diplomatic bowers and even military powers as well. which as we've seen since 2015 has been used against other arab nations and very for our nations. but they have never use these powers in order to actually stop and, and them some actual pressure on israel to force a piece where, where the palestinians have per day to stay solution. but going to be only here on the nations and condemnations. long press releases on all of the doesn't do anything of an official for, to stopping any type of war or conflict between the palestinians and israelis. in addition to that, you've got also the diplomatic pressure that's coming from the west against the on

these are very influential are a nation which also the thursday from actually doing anything that supportive or the palestinians or the nation surrounding the palestine. many thanks said both of my guest joining me on the ground today that's lebanese john, it's mohammed, cliff in bay route on political analyst, no day in the west pine committee. thank you both. now nathan international has been paused to issue an apology for woods downing report on ukraine, detailing the use of human shields by key at military and jose finding spunk spot clash in ukraine on the western media leading on the head of operations in care to resign. however, the watchdog say that will stick to its conclusions revealed and the controversial report which will 5th condemnation from care amnesty international. amnesty international unfortunately tries to amnesty the terrace state and shift the responsibility from the aggressive to the victim. and if someone makes

a report in which the victim and the aggressor are allegedly the same in something, if some data about the victim is analyzed on what the aggressor was doing, the same time is ignored. this cannot be tolerated. you pick up or would you go missed, implement this behavior by amnesty international is not about finding and conveying the truth to the world. it is about creating a false balance between the criminal and the victim. so please stop engaging in this creation of a false reality where every one is guilty of something. we shall instead engage in reporting the systemic large scale truth about what today's rushes. anesthesia report describes how ukraine is endangering its own civilians by placing troops and weapons systems in residential areas. the india was called this tactic a violation of humanitarian law. the watchdog is called on key f to stop putting his people in harm's way and to evacuate them from the combat zones. amnesty also says it is seen ukrainian stores being used as military basis. we have documented

a pattern of ukrainian forces put in civilians. a truce can violate the loss of war when they operate in populated areas. at $22.00 out of $29.00 schools wizard, amnesty researches either fallen soldiers using the premises or found evidence of currents or prior military activity include in the presence of military for teaks, discarded munitions, army ration packets and military vehicles. the organisation also blamed russia for causing casualties and civilian areas by using highly destructive weapons to target ukraine's military. russian foreign ministry spokeswoman marie, as a horrible phase, moscow has been reporting on campus. the use of human shields for some time. and russian officials also say the allegations against moscow are distorting the facts on the ground. when social media has been flooded with images showing ukrainian troops using civilian buildings as bases, some footage also shows military vehicles hiding behind residential homes.

journalists on the all star luke, where they say, ukraine's military had been intentionally the endangering civilians for propaganda purposes. anesthesia national, which is respected everywhere. what's in the west? that is important because so it's usually very much less leaning and, and perceived as, as quite neutral. and in this are really on mentioning things that are totally unacceptable. so for the governments, it will be difficult in germany as wallace. everywhere. france, italy in other places because there will be questions they think simply that the population that the student population is protection for them. that's all they just high within the population in the cities and villages just to, to avoid the shelling of the russian artillery. that's so really not the way to, to wrong to, to behave in a coughing for an army, but of course then they can produce their press release is saying that the rashaw

me aim, surprised and killing civilians by showing schools and hospitals and showing photos of hospitals forgetting that it is their troops, ukraine troops that were in the building and were show by the russian army. china is ramping up. its military drills around taiwan, launched the wake of us. how speak a nancy pelosi is controversial visit to the islands. taiwan is defense, ministry says it has detected dozens of chinese planes and 14 warships around the strait earlier. ty pay announced its own drills, a response to the chinese activity as for the beijing military's exile and beatings . military exercises around the islands, they included ballistic missile launches, which have landed in the waters off tie one chinese on who is also conducted drills in thick zone surrounding the island meetings. military said the exercises were focused on training for a joint blockade, as well as the target assault and as space control. type pay has condemned paging,

calling it an evil neighbor next door, also accusing china of destroying the taiwan strait with the military. washington also criticized the chinese draws describing them as irresponsible and per box and retaliation for pillow trip. paging house 7 times with washington in several key areas. china is foreign ministry, stated that cooperation is, are frozen in areas 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 stopped responding to cause from that pentagon counterparts. here's how else the situation has been developing. how speaker nancy pelosi is planned to visit taiwan potential stop in taiwan, visiting taiwan, visiting taiwan. why is she assisting that? she may well go to taiwan. it would be a serious violation of the one china principal and

a grave infringement on china's sovereignty and territorial integrity. those who play with fire will come to no good and i think we are in an unpredictable moment. chinese military assembling at 6 different locations around the island. us china relations are on shaky ground. what were she doing and everything she touches turns to bed. i don't because i don't want them to say he used foul language in him.

i don't want it does returns good. seems to me your main goal was to stir up trouble. thanks for bringing more problems to the world. america sands with taiwan . raising announce it will impose i'm specifying sanctions john, i will stop cooperation with us on several prominent issues a period of measures are being directed at united states now the u. s. as acting treacherously on the taiwan issue, colonies south was also affected by close these trip. as china, the islands, biggest trading partner has bound imports from more than 30 taiwanese companies. earlier, i took a closer look at the consequences of policies with it. china is already taking action as it warned it would fall out from pillow seas. well,

when trip has been swift and brutal, quite rightly. people are asking the question, we have seen the chinese authorities take multiple economic actions against individual chinese companies. an entire sectors of the economy. taiwan has already paid your visit and is likely to continue to do so. with the coming days and weeks . what concrete tangible benefit can you promise taiwan? offset the cost of your trip. a tricky question. slickly deflected because she knew exactly what she'd done and american stuff made a bit of a habit of doing things like this. throwing others under the bus in service of that and goals, and the consequences over this brief trip already taking hold global market. so spooked and the law just the military drills around high one in decades. the me

but they might prove that the economic measures imposed by china will hurt taiwan. the most staging has already banned imports from $35.00 tywon nice exporters plus restrictions on some fruit and fish. and one might not sound like a big deal, but ban on son to which the island was already short of plus is a key component of ty, one's great is to 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 taiwan largest trading partner after wolf. who is it any wonder that there were people in taiwan who weren't engaging in the posi? love fest honey 90 pill. what do you mean below? see what the hell i doing here? whenever you come to to why want us to buy more weapons from you and fight against the people's liberation army in urban terrain. it's none of your business relationship between the mainland and taiwan is already very tense. your support

into one, but we don't need your support. your lease really appearing oil on the flames. you only make things worse. so who did this flying visit is 1st, was simply pelosi. he wanted to be pictured a chair in tie pay before he attention. he gets kicked out this november, or was it the war hawks in washington hooping ratcheting got the anti 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 he's 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. they can say what it has here is a win win. not only does it make money on selling weapons, but it also has a li for 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 all starving because the government can't access its own

money, which is frozen by the us. those tens of thousands of venezuelans who pay the ultimate price for the u. s. as punitive sanctions. and then there's the ukranian people who critic say dying needlessly. just in american poll and the u. s. proxy war with russia. but apparently in the long run, it's always a price worth paying. we have heard half a 1000000 children of god. i mean, that's more children than died when in hiroshima and you know, if the price worth it, i think this is a very hard choice, but the price we think the price is worth it. so now he's taiwan, and pelosi won't even give it a 2nd thought she got her photo. after all, a professor of politics, joseph mahoney, say the bided ministration is openly medlink in china's affairs and policies. a visit to taiwan could be the tipping point. for many a concern,

the biden has been hollowing out the one china policy and the principal strategic ambiguity. his characterization of china is a strategic rival. it's pressing nato to consider china as an adversary is block building in asia with office, including perforating nuclear submarine straw, strayer, his meddling and china's affairs, and she and young tibet, hong kong anti one. his admission of us troops and ty bag is efforts to draw. china is immediate neighbors into the so called endo pacific quad, his encouraging japan to increase military capabilities and commitment to upgrade a controversial missile system in south korea. all while asserting us will come to ty, wants defense, and at times, equivocating on the one china policy. all of these collectively represent several red lines, cross from aging perspective. and now with close it coming, this might be the tipping point. have how their chinese and tie when he's military resources tally up campaign total active for without just

a fraction of what aging commands as a number of chinese aircraft, navy ships and tanks also vastly exceed, taiwanese military forces. the united states has been supplying the island with arms for years and even discussed the nuclear program for taiwan to deter a potential chinese, a tide. for a long period of time, the u. s. continued to increase its unofficial military presence in taiwan. despite wising tensions between ty, pay and paging, while especially sticking to $81.00 china policy under which washington does not recognize taiwan as an independent country. investigative journalist said with sol, phase pelosi visit to taiwan was also meant as a distraction from america's own problems at home. we have another example of the united states overextending itself. me for example, with nancy pelosi, i think all this visit was, was a high, a high cost distraction that people.
