9:14 am
a growing all the time. and as you saw yesterday, my becoming will is. so i think it, the word to judge is where only needs long on its words. what, what do you think motivates netanyahu's actions and the statements? i mean, is it possible that then yahoo is policies are an accurate reflection of public opinion in israel? i think you should think in terms of the coalition locking terms of money out to the right of miss danielle there, is it good really? all too i must listy who can talk and hear anything and he's totally in the hands. so even he, if he thinks that what was done yesterday night is exaggerated or
9:15 am

9:17 am
a brother back to the out of and saying that we will gradually reduce the resistance of other other countries to celia. because of you, we all know that her celia had a conflict with the gulf states, so they were resisting that celia comes back. in addition to this, there is an embargo, again, celia from the international unity, the caesar's actions are they are trying to resolve this issue and storing celia back into the out of the park. shifting gears now to the conflict in ukraine where drones stripes have been reported in the early hours of monday, across multiple regions of the country. explosions were heard in the capitol, kiya as well as in various other areas. you can see right there on the map of this

9:19 am
impede visibility, paralyzing the work of sports and anti tank crews. all this and more has to be factored into the gargantuan equation by both sides. russia planning in advance, and ukraine holding defensive lines. for these grad walker launches can hit targets up to 40 kilometers away. not only does this range provide relative safety, but also flexibility in picking the best firing position, with the best conditions. with
9:20 am
these grad crews will they make an immediate escape? very often here in the dumbass, everything that separates you between life and death is just minutes. ukrainian forces can be very precise and very quick with return fire. even with the grown camera is blinded by weather rushes, command centers pack plenty of intelligence data. the frontline is vast, but there's only a handful of places where a key forces have developed a habit of masking their equipment at a bottom and think soon of work intensively. we have multiple goals if we constantly push the enemy, we're satisfied with our results. so then we hit both infantry and ukrainian military equipment. so at a russia has amassed a powerful 5 fist here and is no probing ukraine's defenses. keep troops and turns
9:21 am
scatter their perimeters with hundreds of mines. a clear sign that they've abandoned hopes they once cherished to deal another blow to the russian army. here i'm a good done of reports from the dumbass oxy. what is good at your company for this program here on our tea? guess what eel on must cause cold it as he sees it, the world's richest tycoon has designated the regime change in new crane back in 2014. a qu, that election was arguably dodgy, but no question that there was indeed a clue. well, those words are from a lot masika found him once again at the center of attention this time in key of a frequent critic of a u. s. foreign policy with a social media platform of his own received immediate backlash from one of the ukraine's presidential advisors. who reply that the violet,

a dirty word. there's a lot of negative connotation attached to it. many us supported crews in the past of produce the leadership that has been embarrassing to the united states. it's also something that tries in the face of a international law cou implies that we are actively supporting a military junta to forcefully take over from a government oftentimes a democratically elected government. we don't want to encourage that anymore, so we speak of regime change. in the case of my dawn and in the ukraine in 2014, we speak of a revolution, a regime change where the people ousted the pro russian. you know the victory on a co, which we don't admit that it was a coup d'etat are carried out by ultra training, ocean, ultra nationalists,
9:25 am
so funded and supported by the united states. one would be a blatant violation of international law. the other one is the lawful expression of free will by a sovereign people. all right, before we wrap up with ours program, let's get to this story because the german chancellor left shulty travel to india on saturday to or should we say, convince the country's prime minister in a dr. modi to side with the west against russia. however, modi stated that india maintains a neutral stance and is ready to contribute to an even mediate a piece process for ending the conflict in ukraine. you see, be shan't be for korea me since the beginning of the development since the crane. india has insisted on resolving this dispute through diary and diplomacy. your brain day is ready to contribute to any beast process. we have also agreed that reform of multilateral institutions is necessary to reflect global realities in a better way. this is evident from our active participation within the g for
9:26 am
through form, the un security council. exactly. if i get that letter had the story right out right now to our office, our intern shot him a. she has more on house. sholtes seized the chance to blame moscow for the global energy crisis and food and security. while was noting here that many cargo ships carrying grain continue to go to europe and not to the poorest countries that needed the most. there are one, chancellor essentially said that he wants to deepen economic and political ties with india. how so on his to day was it or the weekend and this was his 1st with it ever since sir. are taking gun or taking office and 2021 a centrally both the countries signed some agreements, wind also solar and dumb. in fact, green hydrogen sector. now this meeting between the german chancellor as well as the prime minister of india and adding to 40 if don't please, just

9:28 am
well as you look in union as well as in the, the free trade deal. and why do they want to do that? essentially because of course he is going to stranded use ties with in the indoor specifically june. but more importantly, they believe that by doing so, they can further isolate ma school. so basically reading in the, we're from russian alms add energy, but it doesn't want that. there's a clear answer to that. no, in fact, as far as 5 minutes to the movie during his with his consent, why do you set that conflict should be sold with dialogue and diplomacy. but, you know, keeping in line with the countries approach to now, he in fact, refrain from saying anything against russia now. meanwhile, last week, there was also a g 20 of the finance minister's needs in india. and while the finance sheets had a lot to ponder bod, discuss economic problems. but what really happened was that all that good or
