a territory also violence says half a 1000000 people take to the street. a nation wide process of problem discusses the ukrainian conflict on his visit to china. but on my back with our teeth correspond that follows russian forces as they push ukrainian troops back from 2 strategic town in don bath and new presidential, hopeful from the us democrats, robert kennedy, called america's foreign policy, an abject failure. echoing rival party candidates, donald trump. ah . good morning from moscow. this is our 2 international with the latest world news

updates. i'm fiorella isabel. it's great to have you with us. we start with breaking news. the israeli military has launch several air strikes against gaza falling recent attacks coming from the palestinian administration and lebanon. ah, here are the latest images of the rockets strikes and gaza. no casualties have yet been reported. israel says it targeted hamas training, size and underground complex is used for weapons manufacturing. ah, and here are the latest pictures from neighboring lebanon were israel claims it hit terrorist infrastructure, but local media outlets reported a palestinian refugee camp was hit as well.

ah, do you mean mol, israel's missile defense systems have been activated? it is rarely settlements bordering gaza with multiple rockets intercepted earlier benjamin netanyahu said israel's enemies will pay a price for their actions regarding the russian against us on other fronts. we will strike our enemies and they will pay the price for any active aggression and our enemies will discover again, that at moments of truth, the citizens of israel stand united and unified and back the actions of the id f and the other security services to defend our country and our people megabit. let's discuss a recent update on the ground with nick, call you in, and israeli journalist and sana, come all a garza based journalist. so to nick, 1st are the latest attacks on gaza and lebanon justified. i think

that that is there as things for on the side that that should do something because if it will not strike then the next time there will be more violence as israel sees it against that. and because of that striking, but some other parts of the population, think that that is the justified may be to do the application that are leading to the situation that israel needs to respond for. ok, that wire at the end they should be before. and this time, few days to go at the most may be readily police that shouldn't think twice before they are beating people and are entering one of the holiest places and trying to maybe to resolve the situation in some other way. although they said that they tried to do that and they tried to stick with people, but maybe they didn't do enough. or maybe the current government,

encouraging the police to be more aggressive defense to spark some kinds of violence because maybe now it's good for that israeli government. and so now what is the effect of these attacks from israel on palestinian society? well, this increased resistance. ashley. yes, say before, and i would like to say that the guys on a manly that women and children and they lived and witnessed a very a around them and all a and a distant. i think it, yes, it would continue if it continues it's a tag, say again together i pay maybe how much will also i get it

until now and say give them a chance for the mediators a and maybe they can push out a day and a and then they can do a deal and they can reach. yeah, i see fire with the broker's mediators. i by the way, i think that's how much has changed it to a question with it's conflict with it by ok a but also a live in on and maybe and by, by supporting the ability and, and then 1948 to go to protest against it.

by calling, get everything in there with buying the pipe and to depend any of your vision in the respect and nick, southern lebanon is also known to be, has an area of influence with the group. also be a major ally of a ron. it seems like our ship with palestinians is building in the arab world. what kind of impact to this have on tensions in the region? for many years try the not to mag, you know, a goods relationship between all the different groups of students are that they tried that the cells that draw blame of god se along the west bank alone. the been on the lawn theory, iran and now it looks like all those places are coming together and that was in a think their mood and israel. it's right to avoid it, but now it wouldn't anymore. but some other critic standing that maybe that's now

the strategy of israel has one big conflict with all of them because it can serve some other reason. and from that. so please reli army of both. it's not good that has that look, apply different areas that they need to miss dennis the to deal with them. not so good for the riley army for sure. well, thought i mentioned these ally ships rising. could we see an escalation into a large scale war? who in your opinion would be the possible allies of both palestine and israel. if such a conflict does take place actually allies a mainly on iran as well. and even on all the most in the it's let me get a word to support the seniors at the senior people and who consider that there are a lot of the holy places for them. so and now how i say,

i also understand it. it's like, see the day and collected in collecting all allies in the world like a ron and like a lot in yemen. and i think the hope is they can also, i me a man and this is. and what i, i told you about how much has changed. it's a question with, it's a conflict with it and, and like i will not be the only day that will be a tire and there will be exclusion. excluded it with the end. but also in the whole region and what's called a distance, a square in the middle in the middle east, will also

a shay and will also 5 in as well as the other better seni actions. and by the way, for the 1st time in the war and 2021, and then they get a ongoing of a, which is which means that they even have is including, was included, included the, with the contract with us. and this time nicole, your hand and israeli journalist and santa come all gods, the base journalist. thank you both very michael more. thank you. well, we spoke to political analysts, robert, a lot of cash and international consultant or a ross mused and to get some more insight into the latest escalation of violence

where this goes depends solely on how far israel takes this, but they are on the back foot and they are responding as well to a scenario which has been opened up by the palestinian factions. the d factions in lebanon, and the factions in the gaza strip at this time. so they have to act with caution. you've heard from these has below, which is the dominant armed force. they're that they support the palestinian resistance in their actions and in their baffle against israel. so this opens up a scenario essentially where israel knows that responding anywhere inside of lebanon to the rocket, fire from lebanon could mean dragging as below into the fights and has the law is armed with a arsenal of hundreds of thousands of missiles. many of them extremely advance and could do the sort of damage that we see israeli missile is doing inside of the gaza

strip. so they had to tread carefully. well, i think that with israel claim the yahoo! i think the, i mean the little excessive as far as the check into the counter attack and, and less space is a lot of the, the issues happened with the, the, the unrest at the, at the house. and so that kind of initiated things for it initially i didn't think there was any, anyone killed to know that there is now, but i think the counter from israel was overly excessive. and, and this is just unfortunate that the holy time both were pass over for israel were all ramadan or for the muslim community as well. so it's, it's not a good time, but i think this is the,

i think the escalation is probably intentional to distract away some of the political while that they're going through right now. in france, thousands of demonstrators march on thursday for the 11th day of nationwide protests against pension reform, with violent demonstrations flared in cities across the country with clashes between protesters and police drawing concerns from the council of the e. u. human rights commissioner. protestors disruptive traffic near the capitals main airport, as police responded with arrest and tear gas. the clashes come amid

a deadlock and debates between them across government and french groups at want the pension reform scrap on wednesday union officials met the prime minister for talks, which the activists later branded a failure. protesters claim the french government isn't communicating with his people and undermining democracy. which will do that today. we have the impression that we are faced with a deaf and dumb government that is not very good at communication as we have the impression that emanuel micron has absolutely no interest in what is happening in his own country. and quickly. at the end of the day, the government is taking advantage of the nuances of the law to go beyond democracy did they didn't. that's how it's done to force its way through. we are trying to show that we are many and we are strong in the face of this government. i'm here for the 11th time because this reform is unfair, creates inequality in a lot of injustices. it is part of a political project that is unfair. meanwhile,

the french president is in china holding talks, wishing, paying on ukraine and accusing moscow of escalation, claiming nuclear weapons should not be based on foreign territory. referring to the recent agreement between russia and bela bruce. this was doctors, friends, shares, the opinion that nuclear weapons should be completely excluded from this conflict that all international treaties on this issue should be respected and the under no circumstances should nuclear weapons be deployed outside the territories of nuclear powers, especially in europe. in this regard, it is necessary to remind every one of the responsibilities in particular russia, which a few days ago announced its desire to deploy such weapons to bel roofs which does not comply with the obligations it is assumed to you and to us and to international law, however, this contradicts the policy of some european members of nato, which have been hosting us nukes for decades. washington has been basing its the 61

tactical nuclear weapons in germany, italy and belgium, the netherlands antar, kia, the number of american warheads in europe is estimated at around 150. in an interview with r t for a stepping permanent representative of russia to the un dimitra polanski spoke about western double standards when it comes to us nuclear weapons deployed in europe. and how the u. s. undermined international treaties concerning tactical w empties to see if we're going to miss dealer. russia has not yet deployed tactical nuclear weapons in bella roofs. it has only announced preparations for such a possibility. and this does not contradict russian commitments under any international document. the western countries have created some strange his theory out of this. they do not want to notice that the united states has long ago deployed tactical nuclear weapons in several european countries and does not seek to remove them from

there. the double standards are evident at the same time, we can insure the security of russia and our allies with all available means. this is written explicitly in the updated foreign policy concept of the russian federation. i mean, the us has done everything in its power to kill the new start treating. we have repeatedly voiced our concerns about us actions to undermine the international european security architecture. and the treaty is responsible for strategic deterrence and control. and the new start treaty is the last straw for everything else in the u. s. has already either destroyed or not joined. the muslim china is our trusted and proven partner. a fact determined by the recently adopted joint russia, china statement. we know that our cooperation worries many countries because in the western vision, russia should have been isolated for as they put it, aggression against ukraine. in fact, though,

everyone is well aware that the true causes of the ukraine crisis are much deeper. and that it began much earlier than the 24th of february 2022. our chinese partners understand this very well. they have their own history of double standards from the west. our partnership with china is not directed against any states. we stress that all the time, we want the constructive approach to prevail and for the west to stop pursuing its interests at the expense of developing states that we are categorically against it . multi polar world has become a reality and only the united states and his allies are trying to cling to a self proclaimed us supremacy. no one appointed the united states as the world's policeman, arab countries understand the crises to which such self appointed world policeman lead. we oppose had gemini, we stand for a just peace, for indivisible security, for a security architecture that is fundamentally different from what the united states

and nato allies are trying to impose on the chinese, on way to russia as europe is in no position to lecture beijing, while the chinese foreign ministry has pointed out nato's role in the ukraine conflict, as beijing pushes back against calls from the u. s. lead block to take sides over the conflicts lead from down to me. as for the responsibility on the ukrainian issue, i think that the united states and the military blocks such as nato should take responsibility. nato has no right to criticize china or put pressure on it. john gong, professor at the university of international business and economics says the chinese and french stance on ukraine differ with beijing, deeply troubled by nato's expansion to the east. a jim correson not exactly on everything regarding the corner you should not say. for example, processing sanctions providing arms to your friends. 7 side or hawaii economic,

huge economic age to to keep all, none of which are tallahassee, compromise in the chair age to going, but not as little as a official, formal assistance to keep our chinese position as charlie on. power certainly is different. as you probably know, there was just a minister or a nato foreign minister meeting a few days ago. i know that this is something that they just very concerned about. that is nato's clearly nicholas easterwood expansion into the asian pacific region. that has a program of these 4 countries as partners, australia, new zealand, south korea, and japan on now think japan has even done something more than just the partnership . hi ashi for 24. mister has clearly indicated that they would like to see naval

forces to be deployed in a, in the pacific region as a 2nd, or is a secondary supporting role. and this is a very dangerous path. so this is something that the bridge is vehemently oppose. a new candidate, robert kennedy, is joining the democratic primary against joe biden in 2024. slamming the president's foreign policy as an abject failure, echoing rival party candidate donald trump. the collapse of u. s. influence over saudi arabia and the kingdoms, new alliances with china and iran are painful emblems of the abject failure of the neocons strategy of maintaining you as global had you money with aggressive projections of military power. the neil con projects in iraq and ukraine have cost $8.00 trillion dollars. hold out or middle class made the laughing stock of u. s. military power and moral authority. poor china and russia into an invincible

alliance destroy the door as the global currency cost millions of lives, and done nothing to advance democracy or when friendships or influence. now on the republican side, many of the candidates including former president, donald trump, say the country has headed off a cliff. fast, a country is going to hell or currency is crashing and was to no longer be the world's standard, which will be our greatest defeat, frankly, and 200 years, there will be no defeat like that. that will take us away from being even a great power countries moving away from the us dollar is a big deal and it's happening fast. brazil, china, india, and other major countries are starting to do their transactions in different currencies. saudi arabia is making the shift as well. all of this comes on the heels of a very important meeting between chinese leadership in king and russian president vladimir putin. now the favorite tool of us leaders to smack down countries,

they don't like sanctions may be rendered useless. as we see, ongoing landmark, political and economic shift, we won't have to talk about sanctions in 5 years because it'll be so many countries transacting and currencies other than the dollar, that we won't have the ability to sanction them. so who is actually responsible for this? well, the united states can only really point fingers that itself. the real threat was the unprecedented economic sanctions. the joe biden was allowed to, in fact, encouraged to impose those sanctions. you'll recall were supposed to hurt russia. but even in march of last year, it seemed obvious they were going to hurt united states much more than they hurt russia. here's what we said 13 months ago. we should prepare to lose our position as holder of the world's reserve currency. these policies have driven russia, china, india, turkey, and other countries to accelerate their flight from the u. s. dollar, not to be clear, that's the majority of the global economy. this may be the most reckless and

destructive thing. any american president has ever done with united states, and let's not forget the national debt, sending billions of dollars to ukraine, isn't helping that out by any means, as pointed out by some american politicians. among them is u. s. senator joe mansion who says he's considering a presidential run. he says that running up the payments owed to creditors for the country. is downright malpractice. america is fast approaching another needless emergency, the raising of the national debt ceiling, ignoring the debt and deficit implications of these actions. as the time news to raise the debt ceiling isn't only wrong. it's policy and political malpractice, a bipartisan group of presidential hopefuls who all agree on one thing. the current administration is running the economy into the ground. and joe biden has a lot to answer for, even as the white house says that the 8 year old still intends to run for

a 2nd term. hail, mopping our tea. new york. tragic news from the russian city of daniel square. at least 4 civilians have been killed and 6 more wounded in the latest ukrainian shelling. according to local officials. a warning you may find the following images distressing. the civilians died on the spot on a residential street after ukrainian charles landed scattering trop know across a wide area. he had troops fired a barrage of heavy rockets at the city heading a civilian car repair center. according to russia's investigative committee. russian forces have advanced on the dawn bass front targeting ukrainian troops and armored formations with artillery and air strikes. and over $100.00 areas. while pmc wagner's forces continue to dislodge cats, forces from the key city of i feel most in the don. yes,

a range of up to 10 kilometers. it comes with various missiles. i'm a piercing and exclusive ah wow sloth day and night. they keep watch changing positions regularly to keep the ukrainians guessing where the next strike may come from. sooner we target to 2 enemies, sports positions that we had identified earlier. we got them both and it's a very effective system if you uses right. it's devastating. the coronet is a scalpel, small mobile and precise. just 12 in a devastating arsenal. ah, please, footage was shot just to the north in bok mort where arguably the fiercest battle

of the century is being waged. this video shot by ukrainian soldiers chose rhodes, lined with destroyed nate, who supplied vehicles. and arma, inside the city is pandemonium. euclidean forces have been pushed back to the western edges of the city by russia's wagner, p. m. c. group. according to reports, cubes, troops have begun to retreat from the city. tens of thousands of ukrainian soldiers and foreign mercenaries have been killed and injured here. this is the final chapter in the battle for the city. a battle that has seriously mold and exhausted the ukrainian military for kiev. it is a desperate moment. the feet here will cause president landscape politically, both abroad and at home. so he waits, refusing to sanction retreat, feeding the flaws of back more than more and more ukrainian soldiers. or at gasdio,
