2:30 pm
ross, the statement coming out of hezbollah suggested that today wednesday will be a day of anger. and the protesters here are angry while we were here at the protests. we've been excuse me, we've been treated to tier goes as well, which is not a pleasant experience, all of them and of itself. many people young as 101520 years old, even as old as 5067 years old had been present at the protest. there was an old woman that was hospitalized and carried out of the events area. and there has been a great deal of violence towards the u. s embassy compound, or at least the power parameter, that's a security forces dictate. and so, despite the deterrence, despite the sounds appear to guess, protest is here, seemed to ensure that they started for our cause, particularly america, the united states. one of the fundamental reasons, be the fox about israel does not month moment. so just as a marching towards the gates, once more, once more the, like i said,
2:31 pm
the tier guys and the some of the or not at the turn for the people here, they've been using walter guns. but one fundamental important note that we should reiterate is that they don't, those that haven't is really for admission. there is a united states american for our mission. and this is why they're gathered here today in protest of the united states and protests of israel and protests of the events over the past 2 weeks. and the killing of palestinians in odd season at least as far as well. or if enough, in the side where the mazda is, is out to talk about the escalating conflicts, the missing rest of the thank you very much for joining us today. the number of russians killed in the him as attacks reached 69, i currently listed as missing what assistance has been provided to the families of the victims by the russian embassy here in israel, the crew. unfortunately, this is true, your numbers are accurate. we have contacted the families, however, all the victims are also is rarely citizens. they are not just russians,
2:32 pm
so their families haven't asked us for any specific help. if they do, we will do everything we can. of course, any information about the russian citizens and on dozens of hostages currently held by him off in the gaza strip. no, i'm sure you're still getting good at this point, it's been confirmed. the one russian citizen who is also in is rarely passport holder, is among from us as hostages. there might be more, but we don't know about them. we get this information from is real. so we can't disclose any details of looking at this stage. is russia involved in any kind of operation aimed at rescuing hostages, including, as you mentioned, one, at least one russian citizen. well, what did i say? we're not involved in hostage rescue operations, but we of course strongly condemn this tactic of attacking civilians, killing and taking them hostage. we have said this on numerous occasions. we condemn any kind of violence against civilians. but the situation is very sensitive and we can put people's lives and safety in jeopardy if we disclose the details of
2:33 pm
what is being done with our boss. so that you mentioned that russia is in a constant contact with face rarely side on different issues regarding this escalation. could you please tell us more about these contacts? okay, you still have contact to of course we communicate with the israeli police through especially a pointed official from the interior ministry. who's on staff at our embassy. we leverage our interpol connections and other channels. we're doing everything we can just respond to the rushes draft to many territory solution on the situation in gaza. and israel calling on an immediate cease fire was rejected at the un security council and rushes and basset are there ever so the new bands are pointed at the west as the main culprit of this decision. what can the west itself offer in this situation to de escalate the tensions to resolve the conflict peacefully? no official food, your rights. the resolution we proposed was for mandatory and the nature without
2:34 pm
a political agenda. we called for an immediate cease fire, for humanitarian truce, for the sake of saving lives, and providing assistance to people. it was blocked by our western colleagues, including the anglo franko saxon trio in the un security council. a few other delegations also voted against our resolution. you remember the account 5 votes for us, including russia, 6 of stains, and the rest 4 countries were against the resolution. for some reason, japan joined the 3 i already mentioned. obviously, this was a highly politicized approach. this is another example of how the united states and its allies undermine the role of the un security council. and it's established mechanisms, particularly the quartet on the middle east. for almost 7 years. the western countries and the security council had been vetoing almost every decision on political settlements. they've been trying to monopolize the settlement process, substitute the actual decisions made by the security council and other initiatives
2:35 pm
from the un and error countries in particular. their stance has resulted in the current crisis on the surface. this looked like an unexpected recurrence of violence. but in reality, it was the natural, even though there was nothing natural about it. so maybe i should say predictable. consequence of the policy i just described. so in your opinion, what could be the motivation behind this decision? no, i said it's not the sort of things we should probably ask them about the objectives for us. this is evidence to prove is that they don't really want to help stop the violence. there is a double standard when it comes to the work of the security council in similar situations elsewhere. they make a lot of noise and call for humanitarian assistance. there is a completely different approach to anything that has to do with the ukrainian crisis. i guess in this case, we're dealing with those rules. the we're all supposed to follow responsible behavior rules or whatever they call them. these are the rules. they apply to
2:36 pm
a specific situation guided by their own selfish interest and political agenda, bits and bass, so that we're seeing tension is boiling on the ground for almost 2 weeks. now, what are the prospects of achieving a peaceful, positive solution to this conflict? run those are, you'll probably mostly, well make you forecast as a thankless pursuits. there was a lot of bitterness and emotion on both sides. it's important that some other factors don't affect the ceasefire, which is an absolute imperative for now, such as 2 political or internal political motives of some countries. it's a huge factor that has tremendous effect on the situation. we're determined to continue our peace efforts. and president putin, in a talk with prime minister netanyahu yesterday reiterated the russia is determined to carry on with its commitment to stop the confrontation and achieve a peaceful settlement of the israeli palestinian conflict. which i believe was rightly construed as a confirmation of our country's preparedness to provide tangible support in this
2:37 pm
matter. russia has a genuinely unique part in this, as we have retained and continued to maintain constructive, frank. and in many cases, friendly relations with all the countries of the region with all the main stakeholders, talking about a peaceful, political settlement. we are concerned about and are paying due attention to israel security interest of course, as well as the interest of the palestinian people. and we believe the palestine is ambition of establishing an independent state mandated by the human decision is and other initiatives should be met. yeah, and speaking about the u. s. we've seen recently, high ranking officials from washington national security advisor, a secretary of state, now president until the united states of america touring the region. and they come to israel repeatedly. what is the purpose of these visits low to, to the floor and the it's difficult to tell where's the proverbial egg and chicken here. there's the fleets also. so it's to me, unclear who is supporting home. it can be either political support for military
2:38 pm
build up in the region or vice versa, military support for political presence. however, if we look at the root of the problem, i get the impression that this is an attempt to make amends for the blunders that the us diplomacy and its leadership have made in the middle east for the wrong. it is cost. and this kind of situation, what are the embassies recommendations for russian citizens? no, to come in, does we have provided recommendations publicly more than once already? you can find all the guidelines on the official website of rushes for ministry. and i have repeatedly talked about it myself as from the citizens of russia who were at the moment outside israel. it's advisable not to plan trips, israel in the near future, unless there is an emergency issue, a humanitarian or other issue, the may require their presence, their israel has not closed its aerospace thing, jury on international airport and tell a vive is still in operation. although the traffic is reduced,
2:39 pm
some flights are canceled and delayed, but in general, the airport is in operation and stays open for civilian flights. to russian airlines are active, offering flights to and from russia. according to the figures published by russia's federal air transport agency, a few days ago, regular flights have carried more than $2300.00 passengers from tel aviv additional flights. we're also scheduled, so you can get on a flight if you need to. the question remains whether it's reasonable to do this right now. as for the russian nationalist living in israel permanently, those who have residents permit or dual citizenship, they need to decide themselves what is best for them. we haven't organized evacuation efforts from israel. we don't think that is necessary at the moment. we understand, however, the flight ticket prices have searched, including for the flights offered by the russian airlines. i mentioned there was also the is really our carrier which makes up to 5 flights per week between tell of
2:40 pm
even moscow. however, the price search is only partially related to the recent situation in the region. insurance companies have indeed increase their rates. do so the military crisis in israel, but in fact, the prices have risen way before the conflict started. the 1st search was registered during the pandemic. another followed after russia was left with the so called sanctions. yes, the prices are high, you need to balance the cost of air travel against the cost of life in general. that's how i see it. thank you very much for this investigator for a time. now to knew where the un security council is, hold in emergency session. so the gaza hospital attack the rush, i'm positive said a see if i is the only way to avoid further bloodshed. meanwhile, the us, me to the resolution demanding live saving, whom i turn a, the supplies to the tennessee, the slaves to work right? that the united nations security council ended up wasting another pressure 36 hours during which the death toll rolls even further strike against the hospital and gaza
2:41 pm
last night killed several 100 civilians. in this situation. the inaction of the security council looks unsightly. it was the yesterday we warned our colleagues that there is no time to waste their colleagues. all said frankly, since the time for diplomatic matter forces obviously passed. anyone who did not yesterday support our draft communitarian resolution calling for an immediate cease . fire must realize that the bare part of the responsibility for what happened during cause no russia put forward before the council a resolution. uh it was essentially it was amendments to a resolution by brazil that would put forward an immediate cease fire between the israelis and the palestinians. now it was voted down by a single country that was the united states. and because the united states is a permanent member of the un security council, this resolution was vetoed and the russian ambassador and eventually he spoke with extreme disappointment about this fact. and he pointed out that essentially the
2:42 pm
forces that have blocked this resolution to prevent the implementation of an immediate cease fire have blood on their hands go. so i need to book the vote on the amendments proposed by restaurant about an immediate cease fire. and condemnation of attacks on the civilian population died at the dots. those delegations did not support them or voted against them, essentially pull stuff into blanchett in the middle east. you have major choice and you will have to bear the responsibility for it to the citizens of your countries. enter the countries of the regions. the united states made a point of reiterating that they totally support israel, and they consider a mas to be a terrorist organizations. china also to up to the floor, emphasizing that they were disappointed as well in the failure of this important resolution to pass in june to show our reaction to the fact the dropped resolution failed to be dealt with. the shock and disappointment. it was the only possible drug the council could reach consensus under the current circumstances. the situation and goals are deteriorating rapidly,
2:43 pm
escalating more and more civilians are being surprised with their lives. now it's been a common point of complaint from many members of the un security council over the past couple years that it seems like the body is unable to actually move ahead and accomplish anything on the ground. the point that the bands, the a reiterated before the council after this resolution is veto, that in this case, the prevention of real action to implement a ceasefire when it comes to the situation. gaza is costing human life process because of the highest goal for an immediate end to the is re the pasting and confident cooling. now the top of the quote is off the front of it put in was speaking in beijing where he was attending a for of, for the boat road initiative on seas. associates here who's been covering the form has the details on bus and module. well,
2:44 pm
we have changed our location here in china. we are no longer in our studio on the great will, but it is no less beautiful here. no fair. and we have had an action pack day. we have had russian president vladimir putin shy his views on the, on folding crisis in gaza. speaking in his press conference at the belt and vote for him which was held in beijing. he called the event, it is all set and said the dialogue is the only way for us to proceed with that of this is a terrible event. hundreds of dead and hundreds of wounded or of course a disaster in one place, especially in a place of a humanitarian nature. i really hope that this will be a signal that this conflict least and as quickly as possible. in any case, we need to reduce the matter to the possibility of starting some contacts and negotiations. but we the most just recent t during a present flooded me a putin's. a press conference for the for the reporters,
2:45 pm
reassembled here. we've been waiting for this for 2 days. he said like of course on, on what's being going on behind the close tools in the building where we're in the residence. you as a side, as well as during his stay here in the, in beijing as full of the issues covered covered during the, the press conference. you mentioned some of them of the palestinian is really crisis. for example, platinum improvement highlights that nobody wants these to continue new major player has any interest in these classes escalating in these complex escalating and guessing bus it needs to n t said russia has always stood up for a pub in a resolution to these really palestinian complex funded could only be achieved, he says, a by giving the palestinians statehood one where they have their own country independent and which they can rule a themselves. the policy that the united states, for example,
2:46 pm
has been following of, of handouts here. and that of dragging it out, it isn't working and it has led he said to what is what is happening now. the social story regarding the creation of a palestinian state, we have a principal position. it is not related to the current crisis at all. although this crisis brings this problem to the surface, we have always advocated for the creation of a palestinian state independent and sovereign with its capital in east jerusalem. we and the international community have been talking about this for a long time, starting in 1948 when the task was set to create 2 sovereign states. i don't know whether this crisis will contribute to the solution of this task, but if it would be so it would be right because it would create the conditions for a possible future world for a long historical perspective. because it would replace political issues of
2:47 pm
a fundamental nature with those related to determining the process parity of the palestinian peoples. replacing this with some kind of economic handouts as us tried to do is impossible. and the current crisis shows that there was also ukraine talks about at length we asked the president about, for example, a peace agreement who negotiations at the very least you have large may appear. uh said something surprising that you create in officials have become thinking about negotiations, which is, which is something that hasn't been seen or heard off over the past the past year. he said that it isn't good enough just to start talking and thinking about it. the 1st thing that must be done is present the ellipse. he's decree about finding any sort of negotiations must must be repealed. we also asked the president about the state of the complex he, he points that the, the ukrainian offensives ends up are always you in regards to the notes that all
2:48 pm
failed that they had the, the gains, it'd be minimal for huge. we were for tremendous cost. he pointed up to, you know, some way you credit his just launched a fresh offensive put again, pointing out the, the huge casualties of no result has for the on the tactical, nissan supplied by the united states. presidents tutoring believes that those will only drag out ukraine's. haggerty. indeed the aust uh lied to me about the recent comment made by a president by that of the united states. the advice that had been defeated. the us president said russia has lost the conflict. and now the us task is to unite to europe against russia. and how do you see this with the conflict as lost, the why supply the at the camps missile systems that the conflict is one, then let them come to russia to celebrate with t at the conflict is lost, then why the long range missiles asked him, what are the missile systems for that?
2:49 pm
well, of course, many of the issues mentioned, we must forget, this is sort of on the sidelines of the bells and rhode for m. t a in beijing for 2 days. now, we've seen vladimir putin meeting with various loved leaders, including a european union lead the victor auto body of hungry booths, professing of course sorrow at this state of relations and now and their attempts to salvage what can be salvage. we also heard from the president during the press conference about how he spent those, those hours and hours he, he was with she's you being the leader of china. he said that for a, for an hour or 2 they, they just sat face to face meeting, drinking tea, and discussing what classified topics things that uh, a very private we know that they really, since it is as good as if it is relationship that is at this point, politically,
2:50 pm
it from a political point of view, very oh, the leader of trying to should you being said that this is the 42nd meeting, 42nd meeting of the during this time. but here they have the stablished, very strong, even friendly relationship with translates the relations between the 2 countries present to both that the, the russia is. now if the, if you take away the regional trade partners of china, it is china. the 2nd biggest trade partner globally off to the united states. now, having a overtaken germany model is present susan, uh hailed the belt and the boston road initiative saying that it is a tremendous. it is a huge undertaking that that will be felt generations into the future that will make freight and bring prosperity to all the countries of all the countries involved. all correspondent, nicky, our in was in the sec about side belts and vote for him in the chinese capital. she
2:51 pm
took to the pools to check out some 5. see what was happening on here. what people are saying, it is free time between 4 and so you could stop by here and pick yourself up some reading material in every language you can find. but only one topic, seating, paying for governance of china. this is my flight time. and when your brain just needs a rest from all the forums and press conferences, you can come here and the most yourself and it, some of the chinese intangible codes will heritage, all the work. now this is what block prints saying that i'm going to have a triad creep on royce, on okay, so we're going to make a pond the
2:52 pm
the on the high season. so there we go. my honda scroll to the schedule for the 2 day for me. absolutely. john pox, aside from the big meetings between well latest and that postcard press conferences, which many people we want to watch this forums for business people and entrepreneurs. and right now we have 3 forms taking place, consecutively, one on the green silk road, one on the digital economy, and one on the connectivity. so the something for every one of plenty to come nearby, lead to a neighboring country of china. so even if i leave you in between china and india, so that the dream of the question, changing things, florida future off to like to connect with the on the people up the wars
2:53 pm
decent, the good team for us. and we can benefit more in the more benefit from china with this bill. and there aren't any to do that either leading to hold the peaceful moment. so that made the dream of the teaching thing is to conduct the piece putting moment and the to but for the 1st 3 of the people, it sits in the chair and the china. the relationship must be eastern time in the future. also allow me to go over the list and it could be me, get you the list and so that it needs a very common part of the future of the present people. this is not a military, there is no water. this is the part of the fergus of the people earlier on in the day high in the hills on the historic great what of china i spoke to political unless blogger alex, for 45, as i think we're going to see more trade deals. we're going to see deeper
2:54 pm
relationships between these 2 nations. clearly as trade exceeds 200000000000 dollars this year. and we're going to see, i think, a diploma sea level here were these 2 gentlemen will lead by example here. china is definitely lead by example in the last 12 months and of course, over the last decade by bringing this group together here with the belt in road. but moving forward, i think we're going to see trade deals and of course, deepen relationships. what's very important is that a lot of the deals that are being made, they will be trading notes in us dollars, but in the redmond fee, the chinese $1.00. so the thought currency is really going to grow in terms of importance. okay. it's paul to at least talk about it or by taking the toner. but this tendency of doing the rise ation. it seems to be in full swing here . yeah, i agree with you and it's about time the bully had some competition and it's coming in, but it's not coming in to say, hey, get out of the way. i'm here. it's making friends along these,
2:55 pm
these routes here. we call it the belt road initiative, but really it's a lot more than that. it's diplomacy, it's companies, it's countries. it's the individuals that either you see selling goods on this done streets. i mean, it affects everybody. and the beautiful thing is, is that over a 150 some nations here have understood and they've got it, they understand what's going on here for you. so, so i the, so i consider as a institute of a social research, demarco fernandez, believes of belts are right in this, do we'll see less of the will being reliant on the dollar. of course, the perspectives are very good. although china, you, i'm, chinese young still like a small part of the global trade and also in international reserves. but china has already said agreements or q is agreements with uh, 17 countries to do trade investments without using the dollar. like the case of really we just mentioned up and also presume that support is from brazil like
2:56 pm
supervisors, the 5 companies and some side of which is biggest for also a lot of the china. they've already said they want to join, also disagreements go and also china just announced today w r i for them in, in the g steps. they really increase a lot to use and if you went running the end of the project, so we should expect in the next years or more countries we've traded for china with autism. and of course, china has invented this. china has, is the largest read partner off like 120130 century. so all the countries needs from the bees to uh, buying the stuff from time. well, of course, for russian, how using rubles and remedies is isn't necessity because they absolutely are waiting of the they are not that bad from the dollar system up. so i don't think, i mean, of course for them it's, it's good because now it's as just as
2:57 pm
a almost 8 percent of the trade between russian and china, which is a very uh, is growing faster while they're outside of this. and he is literally about to about 3 minutes with that at this level. he is round up. we'll have 2 daughters. the, the thing to go back to what the yes the, the, the, you know the insurance for the to pick to pick whether to just get can i, michigan so so in the show of interest to ship the
2:58 pm
2:59 pm
3:00 pm
the very desolate size for survivors all throughout the tax hospital. and although it's a big 10 s likely the 100, that is, well, i'm proud of assign blame. each of the emotions are running on my message to the people to stand for the truth. don't be afraid of the americans. don't be afraid of these really air force pulled on to the last drop of blood. we can hear sounds going off, tear gas being deployed by security forces. just protecting us embassy inmate, or there was a kind of oil that lever on over the hood side with protest. and once we get in class.
