the war mozambique had lost tens of thousands of its sons and daughters with israel launches, it sucks against lebanon. and garza saying is targets in hamas militant infrastructure, who they say carried out the tax on its territory. also ahead with citizen fronts are engulfed by violence. there's half a 1000000 people say to the streets in nationwide protests against pension reforms . that's what president micron discusses the war and ukraine on his visit to china . we have the impression that emanuel micron has absolutely no interest in what is happening in his own country. why my back god is

with our the way it gets to your credit in hell. settlement on our see correspondence follows russian forces is a push ukrainian fact from 2 strategic towns in don't box with moscow to the world. you're watching r t international. my name is peter scott here with the top stories at 2 pm this friday. thanks for joining us. now the israeli military has launched several air strikes against garza thus falling recent rockets. attacks coming from the palestinian administration and lebanon, reportedly in retaliation for israel's raids on accept worship. as the

all the latest images of the rockies strikes in garza, no casualties have been reported. though israel says he targeted how much of training science and underground complex is that a used for weapons manufacturing. ah, and here are the latest pitches from neighboring lebanon where israel claim did hit terrorist infrastructure. but local media outlets report a palestinian refugee camp came under fire. some of the rockets damaged civil infrastructure. the even while israel's i in don't defense system has been activated in specimens bordering with gaza, with multiple rocket intercepted earlier. benjamin netanyahu said israel's enemies will pay a price for their actions. no good solution to somebody moved regarding the aggression

against us on the other fronts. we will strike our enemies and they will pay the price for any active aggression random you 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, lot of palestine and israeli journalist gave us their views on the reasons behind, as well as the possible consequences of the recent escalation. doesn't say they don't a man leave them women and children. and they lived and witness to marry a around them and all they got a and it would continue if it continues. it's a tags again together. i pain can maybe have mass will also, i did it. it is about their i'm to now and say gives

them a chance for the mediators name mission for a year. and i thought it maybe they can push out, and i had to stop and say at that say again, and then they can do a deal and they can read here. i see a best times that these really probably reach at times to forget all the problems and to unite when they had a military operation or a war he's rose to the other problem. it's also the fleeting, also the old kind of emetics on soldiers all killed and another wounded after messiah tunnels. or is this like israel largest ali, yahoo! political analyst and international affairs adviser from lebanon,

says that rocket fired from lebanon into israel would be possible without approval . from has belong is why i targeted many do so many open an area 11 in south of lemon, all and one outside. if police jeannine come at which being that is why i don't want to go with an open war with all and want to prevent any, a comprehensive escalation with the law. but at the same time, easy. and the f one to was to and with level office will be after those off workers just saw that the settlement on south of level on yesterday . and i can my opinion even is why lamed ham ours go this attack. but no one can carry or launch walkers constructively, on, on with their contribute, without the,

without any coordination, without any readings from hasn't lost on this area. which means that it can be, it could be in by mass message to ease was that was happening when we've done 2 of the stories now, over in france, half a 1000000 demonstrators marched on thursday for the 11th day of nationwide process, again, controversial pension reform bill ah, violence demonstrations fled up across the country with clashes between processes and police joint concerns. and the council of e u. human rights commissioner,

protest isn't disrupted traffic near the capsules. main airports as police responded with arrests until august. the cautious come, amid a deadlock debates between the macro government on french groups, the one the controversial pension reform scraps on wednesday, union officials met the prime minister for thought. is that vis late abundance of failure, processes that claim the french government isn't communicating with his people undermining democracy. ditty was you'll do that on his own 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. at the end of the day, the government is taking advantage of the nuances of the law to go beyond democracy . did they do? 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 residence is in china holding thought this shooting ping on ukraine and accusing moscow of escalation. claim that nuclear weapons should not be based on the territory of a non nuclear country, as referring to the recent agreements between russia and belarus. after french shares the opinion that nuclear weapons should be completely excluded from this conflict that all international treaties and 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 over this contradicts the policy of some european members of nato, which have been hosting us news for decades. washington has been basing as b,

61 tactical nuclear weapons in germany, italy, belgian, the netherlands, and sec. here. now, the number of american warheads in europe is estimated around 150 than interview with r c. the 1st deputy permanent representative of russia to the u. n. to meet you, polanski spoke about western double standards when it comes to us. nuclear weapons deployed in europe, and now he believes that 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 or indivisible, security for a security architecture that is fundamentally different from what the united states and nato allies are trying to impose. with a chinese and void suit, russia says europe is in no position to lecture beijing. the chinese foreign

ministry has pointed outs, nato's role in the war and ukraine as beijing pushes back against coals from the u . s. lead blocked to take sides of the conflict. leave from down to me as for the responsibility on the ukrainian issue, i think that the united states and the military blocks such as native, she'd take responsibility, major has no right to criticize china or put pressure on it. a jim harrison, not exactly on the every st regarding the car you should not as a cap, for example processing sanctions providing arms 3 for. 7 inside a house for my economic, huge economic age to to keep all, none of which are tallahassee that china provides. 2 or 2 p o is running in the democratic in iraq and ukraine. 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 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 and 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 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 with 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 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 us 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 of mopping our tea. new york, the form of vice chair of the libertarian national committee. av in volara says the us should stop being the world's policeman and concentrate on its domestic issues. instead, 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. that space 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 in the news, the turkish and russian foreign ministers have held talks in ankara. so for the agenda, we're escalating tensions in the middle east of coming turkish election, the black grey, and see a great deal on the war in ukraine. singular bravo, highlights of the collective west position towards any states pursuing an independent foreign policy. a new one is to once again,

we have drawn attention to the fact that the destructive line of the collective west to lead by washington remains unchanged. it is a strategic strike against russia so that it would be defeated on the battlefield. this reveals the true objectives that the west is now pursuing to remove an unwanted competitor from the international arena to abolish a country that is trying to conduct its own foreign policy and full compliance with international law. they're not even hiding the fact that if russia has conquered, the next target will be china. and any country that dares to act independently was a very brief. but nonetheless, a very strategically important visit, both in economic and political terms because it's taking place roughly a month before highly contested presidential and parliamentary elections, inter k. and that has the bi lateral cooperation in this whole new life. they stress of that context remain, and russia continues to be a major facilitator in the resumption or diplomatic relationship between turkey and

syria, as well as the reconciliation, diplomatic or translation between turkey and armenia. turkey is also trying to play a positive and constructive role and some sort of russian, ukrainian, the reconciliation, even though both ministers specified that it's extremely difficult given the position of the west, that at this point of time is not interested in any piece of dialogue. now the ministers also pointed out that the core of bilateral ties is on economic and particularly energy corporation. and this is also a very interesting topic that is sort of hard not to politicize the ministers. we're asked about the, the fate of the gas pipelines that carries russian gas on to char can then on to south in europe and as you know, after the explosions at the north stream pipeline or other terrorist attacks on the

north trim pipelines. there are concerns about the security of all the turkish gas transits. the 2nd point corporation, major point of cooperation is the new nuclear power station. this is turkey 1st, nuclear power station that is being constructed and that will be operated by russia . when it comes on line, it will produce roughly 10 percent of turkish electricity. and it's also billed under a very interesting a new modal ration did not only design it constructed, it will also be operating it. and the turkish government at this point of time is celebrating it as a, as a major step towards turkish security and energy independence. so in a way, as much as that you sides want to keep economic and energy, things separate politics and you apologise,

come how but influenced that and in certain ways simply because both leaders at this point of time strength, the national interest and the silver n, t all of that countries in making the independent political and economic choices. and now to news from the city of done yet square, at least one civilian has reported it being killed and several more injured in the latest ukrainian shilling, according to local officials. now, shutting heads a local markets, they landed in a residential area destroying every shop on the streets, ukrainian troops, 5 bars of heavy rockets at the 50, also hitting several pot cars. earlier than the commercials reported the several m l r s. rockets was seen in the sky flying towards the cities and russian forces have advanced on the dumbass front, targeting ukrainian troops and arm and formations without tiller and strikes and over $100.00 areas. before pnc varden, as the forces continued to dislodge,

gives forces from bach. most in the dance republic republic artes magazine follows the russian banks in the region. these town has died. none of its original inhabitants remained. 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. he is with as much to watch every shadow, every shrub, every window could be hiding the enemy with

. oh yes, by sitting here on my back. gutted results. if it was in support of the offensive thou under way against to ukrainian held settlement, just south of dave got the offensive vis ongoing. all the sort of thing with mass true judges rather than so ongoing thing. we're building off the building a cleared credit troops may right now drive to discourage grade in reinforcements from approaching areas where they can fall. a troops of russian troops approaching the settlement. this is the laser guided co net a t. 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. so now we target to, to enemy sports positions that we had identified earlier. we got them both. 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 buck 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 that feet here will cost presidency landscape politically, both abroad and at home. so he waits, refusing to sanction retreat, feeding the fires of back more than more and more ukrainian soldiers or at yahoo,

the of haughty from the net screeching. and finally the head of u. s. radio network and p r has lost outs. it's with his decision to label the company's official accounts. as u. s. states affiliated media. npr standard c and voice of america, or well d, n, p are the same kind form, the american people, the hater of their coverage speaks and speaks for itself. and so i lena didn't get a talk show host steve mouse berg says it's not possible for npr to 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 on 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 and p r and p b. s. ok. and during call did. during coven, when they passed the cove, it stimulus bill to give money to businesses to were failing. and all.
