missing between this year and the next year, i think ukraine will continue to have the momentum with it and a position of strength. he also said there is no magic one moment when russia collapses, in what the universe is. wallace reside with the russian security services. uncover a terrorist cell with ties to keep stopping the crimea based group from carrying out its assassination plans on the local officials. geranium president has landed in damascus on his 1st trip to syria since the countries 2011 civil war. this comes in the wake of major diplomatic ships across the region with israel and palestine agree to a cease fire after both sides exchange a series of air strikes and missile attacks. plus the white house refuses to

comment on the cia association with notorious pedophile. jeffrey epstein as new revelation suggest our current us by chief, met with the convicted offender back in 2014 with broadcasting live from moscow. russia. this is our team international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. our top story, russian security services have successfully apprehended members of a pro ukrainian terrorist cell. the group was planning to carry out attacks and assassination attempts on crimea. and officials are eager span of takes us through the details of the investigation this ukrainian patriot. victor didn't want his sons to become cannon fodder on the front. so he offered himself instead except he saw himself as more of

a gorilla fighter. and where he lived was so convenient. russian crimea, which cave is obsessing about getting back. so victor reached out to ukraine's intelligence and swore his allegiance peninsula, wrote the song, a little roman, mash corvettes recruited me in june 2022. i came to poland by agreement with him. that's where the recruitment took place. my pseudonym is socrates, my sons of freeing from ukrainian mobilization. this factor became a catalyst for the fact that i went to cooperate with the intelligence service of ukraine. it turns out that it was only me who wanted to defend ukraine. oh indeed, victors recruiter was no nobody here hes sharing the table with none other than vladimir zalinski. i am on my spirits is also a member of the most intimate circle of this man carol beaudin of ukraine's defense intelligence head, who moscow calls the mastermind behind the blowing up of the crimean bridge and

a number of terrorist attacks in russia. well, his instructions were clear resolution before the un. my task regarding the agent network was to find people willing to cooperate with ukrainian intelligence and ukrainian special services. finding the right men for the job wasn't hard at rule. there's not many things money can't buy, like a weird lesser order in december 2022. my main job was coming to an end. and since i needed money, i needed a job. i turned to victor put volley for work. at the end of december, victor asked me to drive up to his house. i arrived who went into the garage there . he offered me to corporate with him and with the special services of ukraine. he sat, he was corporate and with a good friend of carol baton. of the head of ukrainian intelligence in total victor, the ringleader and rolled 5 men. his network of agents was complete and it was time

to put all these people to use. well, the safety of ukraine explicitly ordered attacks on civilian officials from you, sir. my task was despite the mayor of yell sa yanine up have link o the head of the crimean parliament vladimir constantine of and the governor of crimea soj auction of they wanted to blow him up. my i understood when i was asked if i could press the button, they want to destroy pavel anchors. well, the headless was made up of 3 targets. the governor of crimea, the head of the local parliament. and the mayor of y'all to the town where victor lives, russian operatives discovered, ready to use i. e d's, in every suspects, apartment, they searched apparently meant for the mayor of yalta. ukraine's agents planned to rent a flat in her apartment building to get access to the parking lot and plant a car bomb. so, so michelle gave him before sending parcels,

i was assigned the task of spying upon. the 3 crimean officials to monitor have a move where they live. i needed to gather all possible data. they wanted to eliminate them. this scheme revealed by the detain suspects was strikingly familiar to russia's counter terrorism offices. in fact, it was the one that once worked out for key of in the assassination of gary, a dog in the last august journalist and daughter of philosopher alexander duncan. the explosive material used for the i. e. d. 's wasn't random. it was military grade, stuff made in the u. k. the same material and identical parts were discovered on the peninsula. this february, when a railway line was blown up, judging by everything that happened on the railway line in crimea, in february, i'm 100 percent. sure it was a terrorist attack. i understand that it was the parcel that blew up the railway. then clearly the ideas weren't made in crimea. so how did they get there?

well, some of the explosives and detonate as were hidden in electric stove tops. and that inevitably caught the attention of investigators. they managed to track the heaters all the way back and well the trail of breadcrumbs took them to bulgaria. and now bear with me in february to unsuspecting business women in st. petersburg. russia were contacted by marina ukrainian and for printer in capital sophia, she was manufacturing wedding dresses, and the russians owned a wedding dress shop. this is how she was sending her produce from sophia to georgia. there it crossed the border into russia and well then either from merely topple or from bloody cough caused by regular shipping companies. the cargo which included the dresses and the explosives hidden in electric stove tops, got to russia's northern capital for the least out of that, we got acquainted 3 or 4 years ago. but since then we didn't hear anything from her

. on january 20th, she wrote to me for the 1st time by a messenger. she offered to buy dresses from her business and deliver them to us through finland. i refused. sometime later, at the end of february, she wrote that it was now possible to send dresses. she wrote that they're based in bulgaria, capital, sophia, now, and so it's possible to send their dresses directly, and she offered very good discounts for us. honestly, these discounts persuaded us and we agreed. everything looked good to good. red flags were raised when with the 1st shipment of dresses, something else, something astonishingly random came into. electric stove tops, the owner of shelton st. petersburg texted the woman and bulgaria, but she had an explanation for it. when address is arrived, electric self tops were also in the box. my colleague called the contact number of

they had asked the store to talk to the woman she was in contact with. she asked, what was the matter why we ordered crashes, but receipt electric stove tops. they said it was the delivery companies mistake that they brought the wrong parcel. she claimed the self tops accidentally came to us instead of another address. the woman from the had asked us store, asked us to re deliver the stuff tops by transfer company. she gave us the address, gave the phone number, and the name of the person who is supposed to receive the staff tops at the pick at point of the following orders. also included stoves. in fact, sometimes only the hopes came even without the dresses and every time marina had a shipment address at the ready, this one belongs to let you named alexander who turned out to be part of victors terrorists. so explosives were smuggled into russia by a mule, a man from milly topple, who was offering taxi services to the you and russia,

then ukrainian intelligence exploited normal commercial schemes and unwitting accomplices to get them in the hands of agents in crimea. jennifer choi, uh huh. i was looking for a person who would not draw attention to himself. it could be a pensioner. the main thing is that it wasn't me. so i found a pensioner. his wife gave their contacts, an apostle came to their name via transport company. it was an electric stove top in this package, and the next package they were already to stove top. i opened it and saw additional wires are we told they were detonators and activates and a receiver. when the package was delivered, they wrote to me the package has arrived. thank you. that is guys was perfect. it would take a professional maintenance guy watching the x ray to sport explosives in an electric stove. top, already packed with wise, was the amount of explosive material victors so received. they could carry out dozens of attacks. one of the members of the cell turned out to be

a professional diver who stockpiled tens of kilograms of explosives and guns on his youth. one could only guess the suit of may ham. this man could have caused, following the orders of the king pins in key of constantine constantine. the f. one anchor asked me to write an acknowledgement that i am ready to cooperate with the ukraine authorities. and that i have been warned about the responsibility for disclosing these corp. i wrote it cited with a signature that was in mine and handed it to konstantin. he took a picture of it and said that he would send it to some high ranking official. then he burned this receipt in front of me and threw what was left of this and can knowledge meant into the sea. it all happened on my yacht. in this conversation, konstantin mentioned that they quote, are keeping an eye on the mayor of yalta. yanine up of lancaster. i asked why, but he left it off. i didn't really like it for what purpose? i realized that it was for some criminal purpose. there were no specific

expressions or threats from konstantin, but he had a serious expression on his face. from the bombing of the crimean bridge to assassinations of journalists key has made it clear that terrorist attacks against russia are an integral part of the state policy. but this case shows that no matter how intricate the ploy is russian security services are going to when i'm a get done of reporting for our c, ron's president has arrived in the syrian capital with an official to day visit following an invitation from damascus. it will be the 1st such high level visit since the start of the syrian civil war and has already been labeled as very important by iranian media. this comes against the backdrop of reproach, meant between former adversaries in the region with random bastard to syria, saying that the global power balance shifting away from the west is facilitating the change to lose his russia, china and india. take part in international affairs,

america's global dictate, becomes eroded and allows regional powers such as saudi arabia, the persian gulf, countries, and others to take a more positive sounds on the relations with iran, syria and yemen. iran has been a close ally of the syrian government since the beginning of the civil war and 2011 to ron has provided military equipment along with military advisors to bolster the syrian arab army. it's also recruited, she ate volunteers from across the region to fight alongside assad's forces. top iranian revolutionary guards, corps commanders, like the famous, a general cassandra solomon. he was also who was also assassinated by the united states, have been deployed to syria, to help fight terrorism. r t correspond, rti correspondent use of july li breaks down the importance of the iranian president's upcoming or visit. well, it's the 1st ever visit by an iranian president to syria in over

a decade. and since the start of the civil war in the era country in 2011, a primary c is in damascus for a 2 day visit at the official invitation of syria president bashar al assad. tracy is also accompanied by his foreign minister jose, and i'm europe. the law he on earlier, the iranian presidential office, announced that by sharla, sat and racy will talk about political, economic, and security ties. while the visit is very much significant, given the fact that it comes against the backdrop of the recent a day taunt and reconciliation between 2 regional rivals, iran and saudi arabia, which is also played into other developments. and that region series, beginning to come closer and engage more with the arab world. so iran is a major ally of sharla side. the iran has time it against said to the west that but sharla sat and syria is iran says red line. iran also provided bet sharla sat and his army with advisory military support to fight off dies terrorists from the arab

country. so when it comes to iran and saudi arabia in syria to one and we are used to stand of course on opposing fronts, we are supported the opposition and syria, while iran back bashar alas sat. and now we see that the recent rapprochement between iran and saudi arabia is starting to play into the developments in syria as well. so this is one of the reasons why this visit by racy is very much significant . we see that one and we are now beginning to open up to each other or engaging more and syria is starting to shift away from this, our regional isolation in the middle east. and we see that all of these developments that have led to the middle east emerging from years of chaos seem to be not sitting well with israel and the west. the united states earlier said that

it does not advise its arab partners to normalize with the sharla side and we see just just a day before are the re reeses trip to syria. israel are launched airstrikes against our post international airport. the visit also comes as our turkey and our serial also are starting to open up to each other. thanks to russia. russia has hosted officials from turkey, syria, iran and russia in moscow to try to settle the longstanding disputes between ankara and damascus. so braces visit is seen as another piece in the unfolding, new chapter in the middle east, which has seen a significant decrease in the role played by the western powers in the middle east when the region is starting to take matters into its own hands. meanwhile, a bipartisan bill, which would allow washington to permanently sanction iran has been introduced in

the us congress throughout state continues to make threats against democracy in actively sponsors terrorism around the world. through this bipartisan bicameral legislation, we can prevent iran from possessing nuclear weapons and further jeopardizing global peace. the ran sanctions act is one of the most important tools in you are slow to compel, ran to abandon his dangerous and destabilizing behavior. sanctions will only be lifted if her and stops his threatening behavior iran contra, now the clock on us law legislation comes amid a visit to israel by the u. s. house speaker where he addressed the country's parliament accusing to run of aggressive behavior in the middle east. and despite iran, recently re establishing diplomatic ties with saudi arabia and iraq, loose threats have one primary cause the rogue raynan regime.

most of the turmoil in this region of violence and instability can be traced back to that source which continues to fund terrorism arms. it's proxy malicious and pursues nuclear weapons. i ran, seeks to destabilize iraq. it wants to entrench missiles in syria. it empowers the terrorist organization, has bella in lebanon, and it is fueling a brutal civil war in yemen. and among all this aggression, it seeks to encircle israel with hostile forces. ah, we must always remain resolute in our commitment that a ran will never acquire a nuclear weapon. my colleague, rory,

sushi discussed the issue with experts from both israel and the us to get their perspectives on how this could influence regional geo politics. what speaker mccarthy says is the conventional wisdom, if this is the usual assessment, you're here and he has some basis in fact whether the to run regime of x out of the some defense to believe that he is under attack. a and it was to preempt, unlocked is another mentor, however, by congress that as a former member of the united states army, adapting their missile program to be defensive in making it so strategically accurate so that they spare innocent lives. innocent blood, of course, sanctioning iran, which by the way, congress wants to do in order to put the onus on the executive branch on president biden. they don't care what happens if the they want to blame he for whatever

happens with the wrong, the question of the is reli nuclear program is never really on the table because it sense if you and the piece defense, if there is a program. but yes, eventually, israel will have to talk iran if iran repressed reciprocates toronto on the sanctions for decades. and it still manages to go about its business. i mean, is it going to make any difference, any difference to care on if the sanctions of pos permanently? no, because we're in a new world, the old world is passing away and this shows also the delusion and the self not ignores the system of western politicians. they're still acting like they're in charge of the world that that world is fading. the multi polar world is rising and russia and china and iran form the hub of it for the cent form, the central part of it. and they're, they're bleeding out, bleaching out to india and saudi arabia and elsewhere south america. so the piece

that a general fella, money wanted to which he saudi arabia and iran before he was murdered by mike, palm pale, giving president trump bad information, and then trump allowed to dathan. rhonda saudi arabia have solidified a peace deal. yemen is closing down and it's war serious being welcome, welcome back into the arab lee. you're seeing peace break out. despite the forces of the united states desperately trying to keep k awesome fires. israel and palestine have agreed a ceasefire after both sides exchanged a series of strikes over the last 24 hours. israeli forces carried out airstrikes and gaza in response to rockets launched toward southern israel yesterday. but it shows huge explosions, lighting up the night sky of gaza air raid sirens can be heard in southern israeli towns around the border with palestine. israeli defense forces say they're

airstrikes hits military sites. we've also heard media reports that say 26 rockets were launched from the coastal enclave. throughout the day, several people were wounded. the israeli prime minister convening an urgent security meeting. this cabinet strikes were conducted following the death of a palestinian activists named carter od. none and in israeli prison after an $87.00 de hunger strike, he is said to have been affiliated with the palestinian islamic jihad group with israel accusing him of being involved in terrorist activities. the son has vowed to fulfill his father's desire to liberate palestine. because my dad wants to overcome those who imprisoned him, that was his dream. and now he is a martyr. yes, i cheer for him from my heart when he was in prison. i loved going to demonstrations to be like my father to free him. but when he died, i felt happy because he achieved his dream. his dream was to conquer those who

imprisoned him and become a martyr. he told me he wants to liberate palestine. he kept telling me, you are a lion cub. he said, make me proud and liberate palestine. journalist and political analyst, robert emily cash believes that the policies being pursued by israel have a negative impact on establishing long term peace in the region. at this stage there is no peace process, and the united states is essentially destroyed a prospect of any peace process. the oslo accords signed between 1990 free and 1995 of essentially died on the israeli side. there is absolutely no intention of coming to the negotiation table and they don't have an incentive for the israelis to negotiate 1st and the palestinians to negotiate 1st, they need some sort of encouragement to do so. so there needs to be

a nother mediator, not the united states, there needs to be an impartial mediator. and there are then needs to be something on the table which pressures israel to give concessions, as it is the most powerful actor between the 2 sides here. so as long as the united states is the dominant, our which is claiming the position of mediator in this conflict, there can be no peace process. peace talks, and the 2 state solution at this point, as facts on the ground determinant is essentially dead. whitehouse has refused to comment on the see eyes, assassination or association rather with notorious sex offender. jeffrey epstein, that's as new revelations emerge about an additional list of prominent figures who met epstein, even after they'd been outed as a sex abuser. this friend of mine had any reaction to ca, writer william burns with 14 or at the time

to respond to the comment from here and a response to this disclosure the ca stated that current had that the current head of the agency had no idea about epstein identity during their 2014 meetings as despite the fact that epstein was convicted of procuring a child for prostitution back in 2008. mister bands met with mr. epstein about a decade ago as he was preparing to leave government service director, didn't know anything about him. other than that he was introduced as an expert in the financial services sector and a for general advice and transition to the private sector. they had no relationship . it's understood that this response is not the most convincing one and many have heard this response and said, especially with the new revelations of mr. epstein and who he met with who he was associated with long been speculated that there was some kind of intelligence

connection on the part of jeffrey epstein. and now we have confirmation that after his conviction, 2008, he had met with prominent individuals such as future cia director william burns prominent banker. ronnie, to rothschild, as well as white house council, katherine rambler for those who may not recall jeffrey epstein was a wealthy financier, was known for running a child sex prostitution ring. now he was 1st convicted in 2008 of doing these kinds of activities, but he received a very mild sentence of only house arrest. however, he was charged arrested in charge once again in 2019. then he died under very questionable circumstances in a u. s federal facility revelations about that case and the connections that jeffrey epstein had to the american elite have caused many to ask serious questions

about what's going on behind closed doors. ready in washington dc, it was evil for the united states government to carry on a relationship with the most prolific child sex trafficker in history. and on top of that, according to the calendar cover up and trade secrets based on his abuse . i'd say that it's very likely to be sort of the rug one to this has become the norm for the united states government. not only do we know nothing about jeffrey epstein, black book, his calendar. i mean, we've been given snippets. i mean, look, there were meetings, hour long meetings between hundreds of people that are now the most prominent officials in our society, from you on must to steve abandon. ok. we don't know anything of these meetings and none of that should be excused by the fact that he was willing to work as an operative united states government. i'd say this, if that's the caliber of agent, that the government is employing the american public. what?

nothing to do with this government. a huge fire has broken out at an oil depot and the port of tom on, in the south of russia, a fuel tank is reportedly on fire at the depot. what social media users claiming explosions can also be heard. there's no official information yet on what's called the blaze, but the towns governor says there have been no reports of casualties. meanwhile, emergency services are working at the scene. in russia's brown sc region and explosive device has derailed a freight train and around 20 of its cars. with all the details. here's our t's remind closer and according to the local government. so locomotive and possibly as many as its wency wagons of a freight train derailed due to an explosive device ends at this confirmed early reports that several explosions were heard in the area on tuesday nights. now. russian railways officials stated earlier that the incident occurred due to an

illegal interference in the area. according to preliminary information. there were no casualties and no open fires. however, there could be environmental damage because there's some reports from the area suggests that some of the overturned wagons, presumably contained chemicals. now city fire brigades are on the scene and so recovery trains have also been dispatched to this says section of the railway. now, a railway traffic in this, on this line has been temporarily suspended for now it's not to the 1st such incidents, brown screeching and it's section of the russian railways were also attacked, said just last week, an explosion caused the derailment of another cargo train. and that traffic of air was temporarily a whole city. at that time, 7 wagons had been derailed and at damage to the line was reported as well, and frantic was resumed there just on tuesday morning. and sir,

just like this tuesday, there were no civilian casualties. now in general, it seems that a bronze cregan, which is adjacent to the ukrainian border, has been under recurring at sacks in the recent weeks. and just last week for civilians were killed there after ukraine used multiple launch raucous systems against one of the local villages. as the wes builds up its influence in the asia pacific region, amid soaring tensions with china, singapore as strongly backed the august defense pact, claiming it could contribute to regional security. so even on august, in so far as it contributes constructively to regional security, we're in support of it. we are comfortable with all the 3 partners with an office because with each of them we've had long term relationships, and that's why i think we were able to work together. singapore, as foreign minister, also emphasized that se, asia must not become an arena for proxy wars. and that the return of china us

relations to a more even keel would help bring stability to the region. that statement was made during the singapore australia joint ministerial committee meeting that took place in canberra yesterday. meanwhile, the u. s. and the philippines reiterated their own solid defense commitments amid talks between the 2 countries. leaders in.
