western players, western actors from being able to use those divisions to undermine the sovereignty of their, their own allies. well, i mean, you have, you talk about western actors and you mentioned george or a few moments ago just just very, very recently the russian foreign minister. so you're left off comparing what's happening in georgia to essentially the might and qu of ukraine in 2014. and there you are professor you mentioning, external actors. so again, a conversation i wish we have more time for just just, just briefly. if i may talk to us about the middle east, we're seeing a ok. so iran a saudi arabia, normalizing relations. but we're seeing professor mirandi, a kind of reproach more in that part of the world. ever since syria survived the west to tempted a regime change within almost all the branches and a sentence being handed out among many of the neighbors in that region. why do you think that is happening? you're absolutely correct. countries that actually try to undermine syria,

that that really destroyed so much of syria in supportive nato policies. they are now trying to reestablish ties with the country. some have succeeded in reestablishing ties, and some are still moving in that direction. and we will soon seen negotiate soon. see negotiations, i think in moscow between the turks this year and the ryans and the russians to improve or to restore ties between syria and turkey. that all of these, i think are because of the fact that the united states is on the decline. western powers on the decline, their influence is decreasing, the less influence they have, the better relations. there will be in countries across west asia. now, as you, as you say, i mean professor mer id, say the west is in decline. i think an awful lot of people would agree with you. and when you look at, you know, the shanghai cooperation organization, the assay on the breaks that the global south was seeing almost every single week.

we're seeing new agreements and strategic partnerships, he can make spheres. and a lot of them are based as well on the issue of sovereign security. and i don't want to get back into the whole idea of outside players, but a lot of countries around the world, a trying to really determine that sovereignty these days. i wanted to ask you, you mentioned that the u. s. a few moments ago? what do you think is the legacy of the us in the middle east? i mean, do you think anyone in that part of the world is still in any way, shape or form buying the story line that america is the beacon of freedom and democracy? no, not really only pro western elite that have vested interest in web western countries that have children there, that a family there that have financial interest in the west alongside besides them, i don't think you'll find very many people who have any faith in the united states united states has destroyed so much of my age over the last 40 some years they,

they were deeply involved in the dirty war in afghanistan, a supported groups that ultimately led to the rise of the taliban. they destroyed, they supported saddam hussein. gave him chemical weapons to use against iran in his own people, then they destroyed the rock. they, they've destroyed so much of syria through a dirty war. they've helped destroy yemen. libya, the damage that the americans have cause and right now they occupy one 3rd of syrian, they're starving, the country they've, they've really created huge suffering in lebanon. so everyone has been touched in a very negative way by us and european foreign policy. and i think the fact that their, their, their power is declining, will only serve to create better relations and to help begin

restoring some of the, some of that the, the big, the improve, the improvements that people saw in the past that were destroyed by sanctions. and occupation and war that by and dirty war led by western powers. i mean, professor, you've essentially just described a very dirty laundry list, so to speak of america's military engagement all around the world. in the most recent years. you talk about whether it's iraq, afghanistan, syria, libya, any, know, or of these countries. but just in the past 24 hours. so the defense secretary of america, the pentagon chief lloyd austin, of visiting, visiting television. he said he came out and he said that iran is the biggest threat to peace in the middle east. now considering what you've just said, essentially describing the legacy of washington in the middle east. how does lloyd often get away with saying that it's iran, that is the biggest threat to peace in the middle east?

i just, i'm sorry, but i don't get it. well yesterday 3 a palestinian youths were murdered and the day before 7 others were murdered as well. so over the last 48 hours, 10 palestinians were murdered by the apartheid regime. yet he, this senior u. s. official says nothing about that and points his finger towards iran. but the fact remains that his country currently is starving syria. and as the israeli regime bomb syria, he is come, he is completely quiet. syria has been bomb twice by the israelis since the earth wake. in other words, as people are still being taken and their, their, their lives have been destroyed and people have been taken into camps to survive this cold winter. the air port that brings in goods and

supplies from countries like iran and iraq and russia, that airport was destroyed. the aleppo international airport was destroyed by the israelis. and he has the audacity to go to tell him he and then at that particular moment, after all these young palestinians were murdered and the assyrian airport destroyed to point his finger at iran. what about this though, professor? because i need to pick you up on this as well. so saudi arabia and iran, normalizing diplomatic ties, reopening their embassies, and i would have no idea about all sorts of agreements. they might be making buying close doors, but saudi arabia is a strategic ally of the united states. iran is exactly the opposite of how will the western political establishment explain how their friends saudi arabia, a becoming old, cosy,

and buddy body with iran who's not on america's good list. i think countries across the world now that the united states and the europeans are growing increasingly bundle, economically, politically. and now that they've entered multiple conflicts across the globe with china, with russia and elsewhere in our part of the world. they feel that there's more room for maneuver and that the opportunity to gain greater or to assert greater independence from these power. so, and of course, since the united states is an unreliable partner, since the europeans are unreliable partners, since they undermine their own allies, all saying leaders across the world would be looking to have

greater room for maneuver to increase or to decrease the ability of the americans and their allies to undermine them. as we saw again, as we saw in ga, ga friend, the country to the united states and the europeans. simply the 5 because they wanted to pass a law that is somewhat similar to that of the united states. for western countries attempted to undermine and continue to undermine that government. i think countries across the world are looking very closely at what's going on in georgia offering us some very interesting analysis here on this breaking news analogy. international. the big story is the normalization of ties between re add and to ron professor and political analyst side while having a variety, joining us for the breaking news many thanks, we appreciate that. thank you. thank you for asking to have your company for this program live from moscow. the us defense secretary lloyd austin, his health talks with israeli county hardware. he basically reaffirm washington's

iron clad commitment to israel security. however, during a press conference when asked about a recent suggestion by and his railey official to wipe out a palestinian village, austin seemed well less committed secretary and the current is really government is the most far a. it's been in its history, one of its ministers calling for a publishing palestinian village to be wiped out. and that was during the about meetings. how do you feel comfortable working with and trusting a government and that has individuals who have these beliefs. thanks, leaders i at the top, your religious let me say that i refer to my colleague here to comment on the readiness of of the israeli forces. but in terms of our ability to work together, you've heard me say a number of times in various places said our commitment to the security of israel

is iron quiet. but they have been great partners throughout and they will continue to be great partners going forward. and our commitment to the security of israel, i will not wait, it will not change. it is not negotiable. as i said earlier, the u. s. defense secretary arrived serious row to frankly discuss the circle of balancing the ok wide west bank and consult on what steps these rarely leadership can take. the restore calm before the upcoming holiday, supposed jewish and muslim. but as you've just heard, some of his answers were very vague. these rarely palestinian conference has recently end to the very dramatic violent stage with casualties from both sides deadly terror attacks were followed by intensified idea of raids to which proud to use responded with even more violence. both sides blamed each other for these dramatic and dangerous escalation. speaking to the media after he's meetings with these really leadership pentagon chief said that america respect recognizes

israel's right to defend itself and to counter terrorism. but it condemns any step that would push 2 state solution away. i was very clear about israel's right to defend itself against terrorism. i extend my deepest condolences to the families of israelis who were killed and wounded during recent terrorist attacks. and i am here as a friend who was deeply committed to the security of the state of israel. but the united states also remains firmly opposed to any acts that could trigger more insecurity. including settlement expansion and inflammatory rhetoric. and were especially disturbed by violence by settlers against palestinians. so will continue to oppose actions that could push a 2 state solution further out of reach. this rarely defense minister who is known

as one of the most moderate officials, him these rarely right? tween government said that israel is very much interested in palestinian peoples prosperity and stability in the west bank and gaza met israelis will always come 1st. as for the palestinian arina, the state will fees well seeks stability and security. we are interested in the economy prosperity and the well being of the palestinian people in judah in somalia and in gaza. this should never comes at the expense of the life of a single citizen of his. we have the pensions in the west bank escalated again on tuesday when these rarely military killed 6 palestinians during the military rate in the city of getting in the north of the wide west bank, including those, these real claims responsible for how was right shooting. that took the lives of, to his rarely brothers back attack, provoked unprecedented massive and violent po grown. so how, why, right?

other probably seen in towns and villages by israeli path or isn't which one palestinian men died. dozens of cars and homes were burned. there's really a, so what is it northern now's arrest? the prosecution of the settlers responsible for these attacks happened to the international community. was very much concerned about it. the u. s. u n. u. all called for israel to punish those responsible amnesty international was among those warring under israel support the system impunity rains despite the intensity and scale of sunday's attacks, which resulted in the killing of one palestinian and the wounding of nearly 400. and despite a rare show of international condemnation of settler violence, israeli police yesterday released sick suspects who were arrested in connection with these attacks. the parents are going to came to ease row the time of huge internal division, massive and to government protests have been shaking the country in the last 10

weeks. the miss prater is taken to the streets in thousands have been protested against these rarely governments planned to dish reforms that they claimed would bury the country's democracy. if the bills become laws, the railey politicians will have more power in appointing judges and in cancelling decisions by the countries high court, while the prime minister will be more legally protected than adver says, a has been announced ad day of resistance with protest held everywhere throughout a rail, thinking to the media. miss austin did not mention these protests, but he talked about democracy. america's commitment to israel security is iron clad and it's going to stay that way. as president president biden said on his visit to israel last year. the connection between the israeli people and the american people is bone deep. israel is a major,

a strategic partner for the united states. it's rooted in the shared values of democracy and freedom. and the rule of law in those values remained essential. as president biden has said, the genius of the markers of american democracy and israeli democracy is that they are both built armstrong institutions on checks and balances. and on and independent judiciary. also visit to israel is yet another 10 by jo biden's administration to play immediate role here in the region in hand to try to de escalate the situation. since the beginning of this year had number of high ranking american officials like national security advisers, secretary of state visited israel, expressing their concerns over mounting tension is trying to de escalate the situation. but as we can see,

things are only boiling on the ground. appreciate joining us for this light program from moscow. we'll be back in just about 3 minutes. ah ah. in 1935 fascists, italy, led by dictator benito mussolini decided to expand its colonial empire in africa and take over ethiopia. by that time, ethiopia was the only fully independent state on the continent. back in 1896, it's inhabitants were able to defeat the italian colonists and defend their independence. since then, rome craved for revenge for the humiliating defeat. in the morning of october, 3,

1935. without any announcement, the fascists attacked ethiopia and bombarded it most severely. ethiopian armed forces fought courageously, but the brutality of the italians knew no bounds. they used not only massive bombing attacks on civilians, but also chemical weapons, toxic gases. this change the course of the war. as a result of the occupation of ethiopia by the fascist 760000 people were killed. the capture of the african state was committed with europe staffs at approval. britain and france recognized the annexation, giving the green light to further fascist expansion in the world and paving the way for the outbreak of world war 2.
