giving that green light to further fast expansion in the world and paving the way for the outbreak of world war 2. the major ukrainian cities report explosions of or rate sirens saw and across the country over night. strikes come a day after a drone attack on the presidential office of loving we're putting in the russian capital of that talk. most of those days was carried out by ukraine. despite western sanctions are run. i'm serious. some more united, none ever got the message from the uranium president who is on a 2 day official visit to damascus. his 1st trip in for a decade,

the for a must go to the world. this is our t international. great to have your company. let's get into our top story today. reports are coming in from kias and odessa of multiple bloss witness in the night are rates, so did the right major. you print in cities, in the early hours with explosions also reported up to the city of odessa is military academy. what our teeth remind costs are red, joins us live. no, i from wherever my good morning. there appeared to be a lot of activity last night in quite a few areas. take us through what's known in the air alerts were announced a major ukrainian cities of t of and build the site as well as other regions of the country. explosions were reported both in the capital and of the black sea port as well now local of storage

. he said that's air defense systems have been deployed. what's the demand is from a local population, not supposed any videos or any kind of details to social media. so at this point, there is a very little information about that. however, some messages did managed to get across the, on the internet in odessa, as a strike against a minutes or a can to me was reported though, at this point. so there is still no official confirmation. now air alerts sounded for about 3 and a half hours mt of and for over 5 hours in northern regions of ukraine. apart from t of and odessa, explosions were also recorded in the city of zip r. rogia, which is currently held by vicky every she now russian defense ministry has yet to comment on the overnight strikes against ukraine. administered sar gets they could however, have to do with the response against wednesdays. don't strike on the kremlin itself . and the just reminds are russia has preserved the right to retaliation on in any

way that it seems unnecessary from other thanks very much for taking us through the latest from. there are 2 huge romano culture of the kremlin say's drone strikes against the most school residents of president putting a day ago were carried out by ukraine. russian officials say to drones were done by electronic or defenses inside the prison walls, with no casualties or damage on the ground. this video shows one of the drones ex, building right above the center building, which houses vladimir put into office. he wasn't inside the building at the time of the attack. moscow has labeled it to a terrorist act and on the attempted assassination of the russian leader as well, the coming of events, russia reserves as vermont, went through the right to take retaliatory measures where and when it sees fit,

you're creating an official top claim. they don't know anything about the attack and deny any responsibility. allow them to resilience. the said ukraine doesn't target russia or vladimir put in, but his waging a defensive war r t correspondent, eager set of explorers. how is that statement appears at all? it's with, it's the, the images of a weapon that is due a v exploding over the domes of the kremlin, assuming he left all sides stagger russian. patriots who watched an enemy coming causing munition bridge, the red brick walls of the pit, to me, of the russian image on west and officials who made a solemn promise to bolster ukraine's army on the condition. the key of your raise is internationally recognized the territory of russia, or if it's hit list, what we have not done. we've neither in court encouraged, nor enabled, or increasing partners to stripe beyond their borders. every thing we are providing

to ukraine is for a singular purpose, and that's for itself defense. i can say definitively that the notion of us providing intelligence or information to the ukrainians to target locations inside russia is nonsense. they've already splashed over a $100000000000.00 on military a to ukraine, sen, tens of thousands of n t a missiles, hundreds of drones. well over a 1000000 rounds of artillery, munitions, dozens of tanks, hundreds of smaller apc's and infantry fighting vehicles stretched along the railroads. it didn't just rain it poured along with nato's intelligence data without which all this might would have been as good as a shooting range target. we do have an intelligence sharing relationship with are you printing on our parts? that is, we continue to proceed ahead with that. it's an important elements of the systems that we are providing to are you creating and partners in an efforts to effort to

help them defend themselves, such support from the us. and it's specialized enabled ukraine's generals to pursue their wildest military and visions. they got ideas that may be the band on attacks against russia is more of a recommendation. rather then a rule. they tested the waters by shilling brushes, regions adjacent to the front line zone, like belgrade and towns around it. western allies follow this up with mary a slap on the wrist, encouraging ukraine combined to proceed, rushes that defences begin to shoot down ukraine's drones. hundreds of kilometers away from the front line cave at that point wasn't sort of the tool about what a thing. so we don't target russia decree, we will be capable of financing because as far as our interest to concerned, we will not ask anyone where we need to hit these on our territory, starting from all borders and ending in vladivostok. such impunity culminated in

direct calls to attack the house of moscow on one of the most solemn days in russia's history. may, 9th victory day. one such claim was even backed by a half to bounty fully belie if will do my the when will you create a user each want school? and uh, do you have the last 3 of us of which is the key? i think it should be a special event. i think that may, 9th is a very good moment because putting this money at the rate on the red square. and there will be a lot of military there. so it will be a very legitimate military target. and i think that we, everyone who produces drones should really make an event out of it. well, now both k then the west dod trying to shake off the burden of responsibility for what most go has explicitly called an attempt on vladimir putin life. and the attack has nato intelligence worried that russia might now as well expand its own

list of targets. there are heights and concerns that russia may target on the c cables and other critical infrastructure in an effort to disrupt the western life, to gain leverage against those nations that they're providing security to ukraine, the russians, and more active. and we have seen them in years in this domain. the goal isn't russia is court now. and given the austin all it has at its disposal. the options are dreadfully vast for ukraine and its allies, cynicism and absurdity. that's how it rushes and busted her to the us, branded washington stuff. some of the drawing to talk on the problem that i'm a totally unknown off call. the incident, a terrorist action planned by a visa lensky government ahead of may 9th victory day parade in moscow. it also comes us, the us steps up, military support for kids, despite the risk of an escalation in the stand off with russia. here's what the white high spokesperson have to say on the. a senior agent,

the last thing called the acquisition for russia assigned the comment, was finding a mission. you know, you don't want to speculate on the guitar. does any signs to believe that the russians are finding a new major any any d telling me to go over to your colleagues who we are? we know that russian has a history of doing this. they have a history of doing false flag. it is not unusual is incredibly common. i just don't want to speculate at this time, but as i said, as we said when it comes to ukraine, which is under daily assault. and not just it's incredibly courageous military forces. but it citizens, as men, women and children being assaulted on a daily basis by this russian aggression being bombed out of their homes, their apartments and their streets. children killed, families torn apart. well, we leave it to ukraine to decide how it's going to defend itself. and how it's going to try to get back to the territory. well,

let's discuss developments now. i live with former us marine brian for lack of brian's a commentator as well. frank, good to have you on the program. at most schools in foster to the us, cold and washington's reluctance to condemn kids attack absurd, should the us be distancing itself from attacks and russian. somebody is trying to think that will have any credibility at all claiming that no ukraine wasn't responsible for this or to suggest that it was some sort of all spike attack organized by the russian government. if they're not going to condemn it, then they are complicit in everything that ukraine does. and this isn't the 1st time this has happened. ukraine has been attacking deep within russian territory, assassinating journalists, attacking civilian targets. and united states hasn't condemned any of it. us state secretary of the city blinking us, we just heard there as well, commented on the attack,

saying ukraine has the right to defend itself. quote by any means it sees fit is the us absolving itself of any responsibility really of the way if it's legal aid could be used absent. ready way and from the very beginning, this entire conflict is a proxy bore between the us and russia using ukraine as a medium. so in, in essence, it really is the us ultimately responsible for all of this. and so they're trying to solve themselves in the court of public opinion, but in reality there, there is no way for them to do so. must go say, is it considers brian the drilling attack an attempt to own president putin's life? what's implications, do you think this could have in terms of the wider conflict? well, essentially it gives moscow a blank check, literally to escalate in any way that it sees fit. jacobs conduct another mobilization across a mobilize industry and the economy in any way. it's bit lot of people are citing

that fact as the evidence that well this benefit namely moscow and that that's what suggested could be a false spike attack. but we have to think back to 2014, everything that us installed, client regime in camp has done from 2014 onboard has benefited of the, the notion of russia waging some sort of conflict with you pregnant was it was always done to provoke going for as long as possible, i mean the rental, but it's all coming strategically insignificant attacks, but they're highly visible. they hoped to get this process of the stabilizing, the russian government, possibly even toppling it, and dividing and destroying russia. get this whole process going. they've talked to almost nothing else over the last couple of months when it became obvious. the war of attrition has been lost by ukraine under sponsors, on the still just weapons this at the u. s. military is known to be providing

a crane with intelligence data which keeps trips. i've been using to pick targets inside the complex. so, but come down intelligence also be use brian to conduct a tax inside russia. absolutely, and let's just think about the north stream pipeline attack. this was carried off by the, by the us itself. so we can rule out the possibility that the us itself is not either aiding more carrying out these attacks on new cranes or in the name of ukraine. again, it is a proxy war being waged primarily by the us rou. you pray, and this is not an actual war between ukraine and russia. just finally perhaps to expanding something and you answered earlier the, the gremlins pledge to retaliate after this attack. not to what extent are perhaps russia's hands now on tight at what sort of response in regard do you think we, we could perhaps see as i said,

that it gives small scale that basically a wind checked to do whatever it wants, not just this attack, but many of these attacks recently continue to get mosque out, the, the ability to mobilize and to escalate in any way that it sees fit. however, i believe the leadership in moscow is very rational, very patient. they may, they may use this as an opportunity to escalate in certain ways, but i think they're going to continue with the same overall income, mental and patient military operation that they have been waging up. and so now i don't, i don't think anything will change drastically in that regard. geopolitical lewis, bryan politic, pride always could not be in the program. thank you for your time. your thoughts today? thank you. well, according to russian authorities, as well, i want to point this slide pro ukrainian sabotage groups have conducted multiple tara techs on russian territory since february 2020,

to the beginning of the conflict. here's some of the most prominent incidence. the

. okay, let's lose the program on uh, in syria. the 1st visit of under really impress then to damascus, since 2011 big gammon wedding states announced the country's leaders met for talks . local media have called it a historic event that reinforces the already solid tallies between the middle eastern nations. really and president abraham right is a who's in syria for 2 days,

stated the western sanctions against the country have failed. adding up to, to around damascus. partnership has grown stronger spots, terry and leader, but short, alyssa thanked around for the support. it's been providing to syria since the break of where there in 2011 r t correspondent use of july takes us through the really and presidents lunmark. that's it. it was a busy day for the last presidential volume ratios. he's on a 2 day trip to syria as the 1st trip to syria buying iranian president of cents over a decade ago. i suspect start of the civil war in the country back in 2011. before he left the deadline for damascus, ibrahim raise the hope that his trip would be productive for both nations well, and he's. ready i've had a lot on his plate on the 1st day. he wrapped up his 1st working day by paying a visit to the holy shrine of how's rod zane a highly revered religious figure and his mom were you also get over to speech. he

said, during his speech, he said, and he reiterated to your last firm support for serious sovereignty and territorial integrity. he said that to, while it was to advise the syrian nation during the times of difficulties and hardship you wanted to use to support the syrian a nation of a syrian people during the reconstruction period. well, earlier in the day of the 2 countries and the 2 sides signed a long term strategic comprehensive cooperation agreement. no further details have so far surface and on the agreement by the 2 sides that this strategic agreement age to serve the interests of the steering and people and the you're wondering people and the rejoining general officials from the 2 sides. also assign 14 a cooperation documents and a range of peters lanka, oil and gas, energy id, communications, banking sector, and also earthquake release. well,

the syrian president bashar most i think it wrong for is quote, unwavering support. so syria aside said that since 12 years ago, if you want has not left syria behind. despite all the sanctions and distress phrases trip is widely seen as another piece in the unfolding. new chapter that witnessed a significant decline in the role play by the v x for original countries such as the united states. so this new multi point polar world is now emerging and has the, has reduce the influence of the extra regional countries like washington, as we see, the view region is starting to take matters into its own hands. yeah, interesting with this story. i really and political, i have a list of the academic side mohammed motor on the stage, the muskets on tier, around or reaching new levels of cooperation for a common cause. you run it. syria been very close for the

last 4 decades for over 4 decades of syria refuse to side with saddam hussein. when he carried out aggression against iran, syria was one of the few countries to stand up against saddam hussein's aggression . one western country and others were supporting him. on the other hand, when the dirty war was engaged or initiated by nato and its allies against syria, iran stood with syria. and now the 2 sides being a allies and so closely linked with one another. and due to the fact that they trust one another, the ability for the 2 sides to expand that cooperation to the economic field is a, is a, is quite easy because of that trust of the both sides have neglected in the past. the economic aspect of the relationship, there were economic relations,

but not to the degree that would have brought about major change in the economic prospects of syria. and that would have also enhance the economy of iran significantly. but now the 2 leaders are working to rectify that aspect of the buy that old relationship. the ceasefire continues to hold following a series of earlier strikes this week between israel and palestine. it follows the death of a palestinian activist. and in this really present, after an $87.00 day hunger strike, ortiz marie if an ocean has been delving deeper into the ordeal of hundreds of palestinians, including miners, women, the elderly, detained industry to a power statement as palestinian prisoners in his riley jails has long been a painful issue for all palestinians, including militant groups. no one's rockets were fired from guides and protests

owing revenge for violation of the palestinian detainees rides the death of how the odd nun put back in this port light. all that and one particular widely condemned policy that israel is using administrative detention. the person is held behind bars. we don't charge a trial simply based on allegations, but he or she plans to commit to crime in the future. the geneva convention makes it clear. it is an exceptional measure that can only be used under circumstances like an armed conflicts or a threat to national security. israel says the tactic helps prevent attacks and can find potentially dangerous individuals. but in any case, so hold fences from other media group that protects the rise of the palestinian prisoners explains. it should only be felt limited time in his role though the initial 6 months long. administrative detention could be extended indefinitely. in goodman's talk of defense in case is it on clearly committing the water crime and

the crime against humanity, according to the i c. c. and you don't know why you are interested, and when you would be at us that this is a very harsh and psychological pressure, torture for the detainees. and for their families. the mother of her son shaka, as 34 year old father of 2 from bethlehem, says they are old how the dog nuns also the last 18 years. her son has spent a total of 17 behind bars under administered his detention. he was never separated from the rest of the prison population with jail personnel, treating him exactly like the others. her son was detained 7 times, most recently in september 2021. the balance of this, but i feel frustrated, angry, disappointed. i get depressed every time i'm waiting and waiting and he tells me they canceled my release. how would the mother feel about it? and i'm in shot at it while we were speaking with on for sun,

someone called her apparently it was an officer of shut above these rarely security service. she asked to talk to her son was in vain. the cold didn't bring any good news. her son remains detained. you say had that, and then he went on a strike against his own will. he had no other options. her son, my son, is striking for the same reason as well. kelly le wad was about to die on his hunger strike. it's the only way to escape long detention the un human rights watch and i missed the international have repeatedly condemned a 0 for over using administrative detention asking to stop the abusive practice. of these practices would appear to be arbitrary detention, which is strictly prohibited on the international law included in international humanitarian law. but this unified global coal has made little change more than a 1000 palestinians are currently held in his rally jails. honda administrative detention, that's according to latest reports by human rights groups. and despite the

international condemnation, this number is constantly on a rise, adding fuel to an already tens enough israeli palestinian conflict ray from ocean all to from jerusalem. just before we go, a trip beyond the clouds rushing, kaufman lots have conducted their 2nd space walk of the year that this for a work view. cosmonaut sir, get copy of dimitri patel in spent 7 hours outside the international space station . they perform tasks aimed up maintaining the functioning of the i assess what they're doing here are connecting tables between the module on the airlock chamber according to those cosmos versus space agency some days ago, by the way, most of agreed to continue participation of the orbital station until at least 2020 that this century has so far been noted for many things for perhaps most markedly

around the. busy popular uprisings, so do these ripples from lots in america to north, not forget, have a common theme or documentary that revolutions factory strives to find out. the, the, the what truly motivates nato is at strategic interests in jail, political positioning,

or is it id ology in a pathological hatred of russia? i will let the viewers decide, but one thing is, certain, the alliance has put its very existence on the line. you can take that to the bank, sweetie. i had recommended a heem, you'll have the baltimore and the heavy little philosophy about let the monroe be headed blad um, i use my how much was the move out of the head of the month. so, but i used to have them who are you the was not, continues 19 the revolution. forget about the solution business, you know, only very self understanding of thing. they were there for a very long time. general, that was something you did you stop it just and we went on the key at least and we've only seen matthew. eh, can also get a call to the stand the

a vent even let me see. so you need to do this. we did germany state shuttle what i mean for the 2 on a can the and a very quick work of trying to get them to understand how to distribute flyers without being quote, how to write the features of being, quote the formations. the same limits that are like random moves that a lot of these things and then how you can start verbally on the day and where to go. we did each section available for the other thing and to maintain that academy in energy to pretty much the label to the depths with any of the the digital i'm facing is part of company. i thought i was going to get um, uh uh, 80 minutes to inc. katie to sort of put out the see what people buy to restore stuff cuz he used to force him up again when i put it in the, on the 25th cheated call to show you show, but he confidently facility part is extreme. you corruptive?

and because of this, unfortunately, even young activists are not immune to this correction. a different new school or files liberty i did sign up at ki, i basically for the opportunity to dispute the ready for the, the .
