oh, and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. with israel launches, attacks against lebanon in gaza, saying it's targeting hamas militant infrastructure, who they say are responsible for earlier attacks on his territory. also with cities in france or in gulf by violence, those half a 1000000 people take to this freedom in nationwide protest. mama crohn discusses the ukranian conflict on his visit to china. we have the impression that emanuel

micron has absolutely no interest in what is happening in his own country. russian forces push ukrainian troops back from 2 strategic towns in don, bath, or 2 falls rush in combat units on the front line. behind my back friday with our the way to your credit held for ah, good morning from moscow. this is our international with the latest world news updates. i'm fiorella isabel. it's great to have you with us. we start with the breaking news. the israeli military has launched several air strikes against gaza following recent strikes, coming from the palestinian administration and lebanon, reportedly in retaliation for israel's raids on alex. so worshippers.

ah! here are the latest images of the rocket strikes in garza no casualties have been reported. israel says it targeted hamas training sites, an 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 came under fire. some of the rockets damaged civil infrastructure. ah, you are you. meanwhile,

israel's missile defense to some have been activated is railey settlements bordering gaza, with multiple rockets intercepted earlier benjamin netanyahu said israel's enemies will pay a price for their actions regarding the aggression against us on other fronts. we will strike our enemies and they will pay the price for any act of aggression. our enemies will discover again, that at moments of truth, the citizens of israel stand united and unified and back the actions of the i d f and the other security services to defend our country. and our people may go earlier. i spoke to israeli, and palestinian journalists to better understand the reasons behind the strikes and their potential consequences. a manly that women and children and they lived and witnessed a very. in my day i made a,

i rounded them in all a and it would continue if it continues it's a tag, say again together, i think a maybe have mass will also i think it is a list it is. but i'm done now and say give a chance for the mediators in initially for a year. and i thought it and maybe they can push out as i had to stop it, say at that again. and then they can do a deal and they can reach. yeah, i see, i had with the brokers and idiot, those are the latest attacks on gaza and lebanon justified. i think that that is rad. thanks for all meet side that that should do something. because if it will not strike dan that next die mad,

there will be more violence as israel see that the gain state that and because of that they are striking good. this is that their best chance that these reli public beachy tends to forget all the problems and to unite when they had that and military operation or a war means relative to the father problems. it's also the pleading is that also all kinds of minorities in his rather than have their own troubles than dad. dad is really probably just so still angry at these rally government. that's right. now, to do this all get hold of their judicial system that would need that israel from being only the local. i actually am a lot or the yahoo is going through with

violent demonstrations. flared up in all cities across the country with clashes between protesters and police, drawing concerns from the council of the e. u. human rights commissioner, protestors disrupted traffic here. the capitals may airport, as police responded with arrests and tear gas, the classes come amid a deadlock and debates between them across government and french groups that want the pension reform scrap on was their union. officials met with the prime minister for talks, which the activists later branded as failure protestors claimed the french government isn't communicating with people and is undermining democracy. duty social union on facebook. today we have the impression that we are faced with a deaf and dumb government that is not very good at communication. we have the

impression that emanuel micron has absolutely no interest in what is happening in his own country would be 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 inequalities in a lot of injustices. it is part of a political project that is unfair. meanwhile, the french president is in china holding talks where she's been 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 bell, ruth, this does french 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 roost, 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 b 61 tactical nuclear weapons in germany, italy, belgium, the netherland center. here, the number of american warheads in europe is estimated at around 150. in an interview with our chief 1st deputy permanent representative of russia to the you and to me through 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 m. d. 's, the units lawson,

china is our trusted and proven partner, a fact determined by the recently adopted join to russia, china's 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, every one 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. we are categorically against it. a multi polar world has become a reality and only the united states and its allies are trying to cling to a self proclaimed u. s. 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. the chinese on roy to russia as, 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. leading down to me as for the responsibility on the ukrainian issue, i think that the united states and the military blocks such as native should take responsibility. nature has no right to criticize china or put pressure on it. jim harris are not exactly on every scene regarding the car you should not say care

for example processing sanctions providing arms to your friends. i. 7 or has for like a nomic, huge economic aids to, to keep all, none of which are tallahassee that compromise in a chair age to going, but not as little bizarre. oh, for sure. for more assistance or 2 or 2 p r, china's position as you, charlie. ah, the power certainly is different. as you probably know, there was just a minister or a natal, our foreign minister meeting a few days ago on, you know, this is something that a juice, very concerned about. that is nato's a clearly needless look. eastwood expansion into the asian pacific region. a new candidate, robert kennedy as joining the democratic primary against shell bite. and in 2024. slamming the president's foreign policy as an abject failure. 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 head 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. put 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 is headed off a clip fast. a country is going to hell or currency is crashing and will soon no longer be the world's standard. which will be our greatest defeat, frankly, in 200 years,

there will be no defeat like that that will take us away from being even a great power country is 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 and 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 shifts. we won't have to talk about sanctions in 5 years because will 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 that joe biden was allowed to. in fact,

encouraged to impose those sanctions. you'll recall we're 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 will national debt, sending billions of dollars to ukraine, 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. they'll mopping our tea new york, former by share of the libertarian national committee. our been, laura says the u. s. should stopping the world's policeman and concentrate on its

domestic issues and said many people in the united states and more specifically, many people in 5 the democratic party that by which i mean democratic voters are recognizing that american foreign policy that is based on invading other countries at phase and trying to control other countries that based on focusing on everything that is not really the purview of the u. s. government, the united states, spending money and resources on something that's not our problem and not our business. the government needs to realize that it's purview that the purview of the american government is the united states of america. it is not every single country in the world. it is not to protect every single country from every single other country. and that's been the foreign policy over the last several decade, which is wasted money to waste of live. it is made america less safe. and if america stop doing that,

we're going to be safer. we're going to be more prosperous if we can stop. if we can stop trying to be the policeman of the world and stead work on making america the best country that it can be tragic news from the russian city of dawn. yet where at least 4 civilians have been killed and 6 more wounded in the latest ukrainian shelley, according to local officials, a warning you might find the following images, dispersing the civilian side on the spot on a residential street after ukrainian shells landed scattering, trap know across the wide area through fired of a roger of heavy rockets at the city, hitting a civilian car repair center. affording 2 rushes investigative committee and russian forces have advanced on the don bass fry, targeting ukrainian troops and armored formations with artillery and air strikes in over $100.00 areas. while pnc wagner forces continue to dislodge calves forces from

the key city of arc, the almost in the don, yes, republic, artesian were august, the of follows the russian advance in the region. these town has died. none of its original inhabitants remain. but amidst the ruins and craters hidden in the shadows, a spot us always watching. no, i spot and correct the enemy is now 5 kilometers away from us. i track the movement of armor and infantry. i sent my report and we hit them. mainly armored vehicles, pill boxes, firing positions, and machine gun points. with here with as much to watch every shadow, every shrub, every window could be hiding the enemy with

boy. yes. by sitting here behind my back god. it was all existing flawed in support of the threads of thou on the way it gets to ukrainian held settlement just south of dave called the offensive vis ongoing. all the sort of thing with mass true judges bothered assume ongoing thing. we're building off the building a kid, a credit, trust me right now. trying to discourage great in reinforcements from approaching areas where they can pub. i troops, russian troops approaching the settlement. this is the laser guided co. net 80 g m

with a range of up to 10 kilometers. it comes with various missiles. i'm a piercing and exclusive. ah wow sla with day and night they keep watch changing positions regularly. they keep the ukrainians guessing where the next strike may come from. cigna. we target to, to enemy sports positions that we had identified earlier. we got them both. it's a very effective system. if he uses right, it's devastating. the coronet is a scalpel, small mobile and precise. just 12 in a devastating arsenal. ah. these footage was shots just to the north in bock mort,

where arguably the fiercest battle of the century is being waged. this video shot by euclidian soldiers chose rhodes lined with destroyed nate who supplied vehicles and armour. inside the city is pandemonium. ukrainian 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 presidency landscape politically, both abroad and at home. so he waits, refusing to sanction retreat, feeding the fours of backwards more and more ukrainian soldiers or at yahoo,

the of haughty from the nets, creegan. now had of us radio network and p r has last out at twitter decision to label the company's official account. as usd affiliated media, n p. r stands for freedom of speech and holding the powerful accountable. it is unacceptable for twitter to label us this way. the vigorous, vibrant free press is essential to the health of our democracy, twitters new owner, ellen muss has defended the updated label, saying that m. p. r fits the definition of state affiliated media, according to nprs own website. the network relies on federal funding to keep running r t has requested twitters official comment on nprs new label and why russian and chinese media outlets get the label. while western said outlets do not. and p r c e

o john lansing has received money from the bill gates foundation to promote the work of the billionaires charities. before joining the network, lansing was the chief of the us agency for global media, which manages outlets like radio free asia, radio, free europe, radio, liberty, and voice of america all well known for their strong historic anti russian stance. when asked about twitters labeling of and p r, the white house folks person claim the network is independent from the government's we are labeled the national public radio us government entities and few are the same category as the rest of the day. or chinese media have a yes. so social media companies make their own independent decisions about content rules. so i won't comment on tutors rules, but what i will say more broadly, i'll say there's no doubt of the independence of nprs journalists and has been if

you've ever been on the receiving end of their other questions that you know this, you know, that they have their independence in journalism and p r. a journalist. where did you want me to hold public officials accountable and inform the american people the hard hitting independence nature of their coverage? speaks speaks for itself. and so i'll leave it there. talk to her said walter. burke says it is impossible for m p r. the claim not to be government affiliated while receiving funds from washington. kareen jumped here. the white house spokesperson is reading that answer about the fiercely independent journalists of n p r. and how tough they are. she's reading it, but they're not, they're not state run media, but it's just, it's just mind boggling how dumb they are. and how ironic that that whole thing was . look, n p r and p b s to me, i've always been far,

far left. now now media research center has done a lot of a lot of coverage on them. let me give you a few for instances. they say they don't depend on the government for a much of their funding. but they get about $465000000.00 a year in the budget for n p r and p b. s. ok? and during coal, did during coven. when the pest the coven stimulus bill to give money to businesses to were failing, and all that, they included, the congress included another $75000000.00 to go to public broadcasting. now, i'm sorry, if you're going to have that kind of financial support from, from the u. s. government, how could you separate yourself from the u. s. government to the often called venice of africa, a nigerian village in the middle of a lake, which locals can only leave and enter by boat. our teeth crumble, itala explores the local waterways. well, come to my uncle,

go. the only place in africa when the residents live on water. this whole lace is build on filth. it's often called africa venice because of the numerous pathways and the houses that have been build fear on the still so much for africans can flim well well well, you're about to get the shock of your life with this is the only way to get about you and i go to school, get on a boat, you want to go to church, get on a boat. you wanna go to shops, you gotta get on a boat, but you just look around the poverty that's around this place of cause takes it

away from what you might know. as the romance and beauty they tally and begged rob it's name after this is the biggest fish market. apparently there is a lay was if you one fish from lay rose, you have to had a pot of mccorr group and you can see this from everywhere. so apparently, if not the women that fish is they are men who catch the fish and then only after do their women get to sell it. they are an account number of people here because even during the last census in nigeria, in 2007, there wasn't enough. people counted here to have a legitimate figure. it's estimated there over 50.
