was political human rights abuses? you know, jesus of leads jesus over at d, have units that are people by this multi nationals animal. so they use the they have got got to pay nipple or around the right from east to central africa, where at least 40 people died this week due to deadly floods. along the slide. the incident in the d. r. c, left residents digging through the mode to try and recover the bodies and forwarding to a un climate experts. the event highlights the disastrous implications of correct urban design and extreme weather conditions. as communities russell, with the aftermath of destruction lost from the inclement elements. people have been giving their account of the chance to do 1st they will land sights of houses were destroyed and no one was able to rescue anyone. we're appealing to our local

government to get involved so that we can look for bodies with a missing that because it started raining in the morning and continued until the evening. the next day we were forced to remain inside our houses when the phone of a sudden lewis had wrote down the walls and we were lucky to have survived. we started experiencing mildred rain full, but it increased on with no time they were flowed so low that so far we have lost 5 people and we are still searching for all dad's body. early in the morning, we was shocked to learn the to a neighbor, had lost some of his children. another family of 6, including the parents perished. and the body of the mother was found this morning. what has happened here in the call, who is not a surprise. people knew very well that it was dangerous. so they constructed in regions that were risky. us senator lindsey graham has called for a direct attack against the realm. he has started that turn around and supports

militant groups stops, are hostile to the country. so american force you should quote load off the ma without a ron, there are no booties the who these are completely backed by ron. i've been saying for 6 months now, hit or wrong. they have all fills out in the open. they have the revolutionary guard headquarters. you can see from space florida off the map. if you really want to protect the american soldiers, make it real to the i tell you, attack a soldier through a proxy or coming after you. mr. greens from arts come after repeated assertions by washington, not around was involved in a tax on commercial ships and us troops and the red sea. to run us the night the allegations the united states has been seeking to create a multi lateral security mission in the region. in other words, a little bit more occupation there to tackle what i'd say is as an ongoing thread from booties. well, earlier we spoke to

a geo political expert from the university of to around he says, washington will play it safe as a direct confrontation with a run will have serious global repercussions. all wars are good for the us military industrial complex, but i think it's pretty clear that the united states under uh, obama, under bush, under a trump. they never, it never struck the run itself because they knew that there was how the ocean would be swift and severe to ron, today is much more powerful than it was back then. and the united states has many more problems today that it had back then. so obviously, any strike against the run by the regime in washington would have severe consequences. all we have to do is look at the persian gulf spaces on the other

side of the persian gulf are all wonderful. and those regimes that host us bases would be seen as hostile by iran, if they are strikes from the united states, and therefore their infrastructure, including the oil and gas assets would be all legitimate targets. so if the americans want to carry out that strike against the run, that would mean a global economic crisis, like we've never seen before. meanwhile, about to us led mission in the red sea locks the support of some allies of washington with a number of quote unquote friendly nations saying they're not willing to participate italy, spain, or among those who have said they're not going to send warships or personnel to join the task force. it followed similar statements by saudi arabia, egypt on the u. a with all those middle east countries sitting, they have no interest in bolting of the mission. we spoke to

a retired us or forced lieutenant colonel is a, is trust in washington's plan, that has been shot or judged with widespread support. a visual concern is partly that it's an american lead operation. and you really can't tell what the americans are doing. i mean, you know, it's not clear that leadership is not strong in our country. so i think maybe they, they don't know to know how the american, what the american plan is if, if any ships in that group are attacked or if american ships are attacked, every thing that the americans do in the middle east is designed to keep things off balance, which by definition is to destabilize um, in terms of what israel is doing. i don't think there's a lot of thinking going on in, in the support of that. and, and clearly there wasn't a lot of thinking going on when they propose this naval operation. the united

states policy has never been interested in stabilizing the middle east. it has been interested in assisting israel in its expansion and destabilizing the countries having them work against each other. not as the war and gaza rages on. religious figures are increasingly speaking though it's against the violence church and community leaders even recently as prisoners in bethlehem, mentors them to refrain from celebrating christmas this year due to the scenes of destruction. here's our exclusive, extended interview with a prominent regional pastor reference monitor i sec sure. the faster wanted to thank you very much for joining us today. thank you for having me. we have heard many calls from various international organizations to stop the hostilities in gaza, but still will see the war there goes on and on, and people are dying,

including civilians including children. why do you think, are they un and other influential but is global but is failing to stop the war and gaza? we are opposed by this with angry that this world has not stopped by now. and it's hard for me as a personal face to understand how an organization like do you and, and many other countries and church street this have still not cold for the ceasefire. it seems that is right and is able to convince the world to pull the world into this and no one's able to say no, but to be honest as a public opinion, i'm not surprised because 40 years we've been saying that is what i have is able to do what it's doing because no one is holding us that accountable. look at the set the month bill next look at the continuous expansion of the code on and say, shut off palestine. everyone knows it's wrong. but no one was able to stop it. and

unless we hope this right account to the is the continued to do what it's doing. and what's really also hard to understand is the big got that to exist in the world today between the lead us and the people. we seen demonstrations, for example, and long done, one demonstration had 800000 people in it. he had parliament from the state of connecticut themselves to vote for a cease fire. at the end of the day, you have to understand is what i asked for what it is. it is an extension of going on. you listen in the middle east today to protect spend the rest of many western powers in the middle east today. and this is why no one is april, no one is willing to hold the center that comfortable. so who is the big info is it is ro, protecting the interests of the west some countries or vice versa? i think clearly that our political alliances today and what will, sadly, it's usually the incident,

people who pay the price of these political games. america is celebrating christmas wide, sending us bonds here doing and support think we'll see it that you've asked a question about who is it a look at the countries that lined up immediately after october 7. not the only to pay the bill, but to provide the political comfort and you have your answer. it's clear that today many countries are providing on the condition of support. political call that to us read to me as a foster, what's what understand this house churches within these countries have not spoken up yet against the positions of the government and against the genocide that is happening that in fact, we have heard a lot from other christian religious figures including pub, friends, is about the end and more in gaza. all day going to push for

a cease fire in your opinion, or all those just empty words. we need more than just words and pray us and sympathy. what's up about that off and even, you know, we appreciate the words of the vatike and we appreciate the pious the support. but if these words, i'm not accompanied by action by pressure, my little being we don't see the editor and see of the schools. we don't see even words of condemnation. we don't see holding, you know, anybody in the whole thing is an accountable and so we could continue to pay for the fees as much as we want. but as amount of faith, i think i would pay us with the own, was accompanied with action and was not on positions. this is not the conflict. this is not the conflict between to equal. the part is in which case we

can play in with the 4 piece. this has been an ongoing impression for 75 years. this does not start in october 7th. the indian now has that has been on deceased for more than 16 years now. do you need to take us that you need to take a model stand, you have to take sites and this is what they see lacking from many church read this . they have maybe a good intentions and they send posts of sympathy. i know they will gift shot at the a lot after the war. but what with asking from them at this precise moment is to take a model stand up, not just against this war, but the against 75. p is of interest is under pressure. you mentioned the reaction of the collective west, and this is what we've seen during the run sessions. the western countries are the only ones opposing the idea of a long lasting seas find the region. what are they trying to achieve? i think we need to ask them this question. they justified this war as self defense

. and i continued to ask, how was the kidding of all these children, close to the 9000 children in self defense? how is the displacement of close to too many impulse thing and self defense? and now it's no longer a secret or you know, us just saying that this is a clearly a war with the aim to empty herself cell phone. tell us the news is what i am is making sure that her so will not on good be and happy to. but so when will they actually acknowledge that this is not self defense? when will they, you know, how many more of us tenure as need to be killed and know that for the auto pay and continues to find that may be a lie, something is wrong. when will they realize, or when will they start telling the truth about what's going on? they know they know what's happening. believe me, they know what's happening. when will they have the cottage to say this?

when will they have? the courage to call out is what i and for these atrocities. this is why i said they have words of concern. and i ask, how is this going to help us? and i go back to my point unless you take a strong stand and say this is wrong, this has to stop. and i'm left to make sure it stops. you have the means to have the but should we expect this given that? as i said, they lined up one after the other to pay the bill and to provide the political cause that i think this war has proven to us. but us the news that the world does not see us as a. and i think that this one has also revealed to us that hypo can see of many in the was spent about 40 years they left showed us on the, the national and human rights. yet, are they,

you know, we don't see this appliance process will experience 40 years. they called out different countries, ford war crimes. and you know, to, well, what's happened with russia and ukraine and what was the position? i want them all to us. i mean, we didn't, you know, no cost for the sanctions. i never called the, you know, when it's what i've got the electricity and food and all from that. so i know one called it was kind of, i mean, that was kind of glitter declining photo. what's happening in ukraine? but look at what's happening gonzalez' and we ask, do they see us us as humans, do they care and to see how all of this continue to be defended as some of the defense sotoward on time us. and i asked many of them what the church leaders or the journalist who come here and i say if and your country a serious kids. and that's $100.00 children in the field on. we do support the

bombing golf that school just took a lot serious but this is the exact same justification they get for bombing residential buildings and, and type neighborhoods and costs and what seems okay with it. despite all the calls from human rights organizations, despite all the goals from being but organizations and it seems the human rights slow don't matter. i mean, they either matter or they don't. this is, this is what would be saying. you have mentioned that this car in crisis didn't start on october. the 7th. the international community actually for decades has been failing consistently to resolve the so called power steering issue. the state of israel has been receiving all kinds of support, political, financial, military, whatever they wanted. they got it while an independent palestinian state, although towards established and even recognized by more than $100.00 and such a countries in the world didn't get this global recognition. why you think is

happening? what's the main reason for that? and don't you think it is a crucial moment for that issue to be resolved? now, at this moment, all we want is and then to the genocide info. so that's all good thinking about that's. that's a priority, it's a, it's a thinking model requirement from the world to stop this genocide. i mean, every 15 minutes of trying to skim powers, the world assignment of this and all that, then we can think of a solution is a full list in your space and all possible i don't know, i hope so. but unless that a serious, serious efforts from the world and serious intention, which to be honest, i never felt was that and when it comes to the united states it's, it's not the one part deal. i guess the other, you know, of the one for trump was not good for this thing is,

i mean has by didn't being good for the police thing. yes. i mean, we don't see the seriousness of the 3 of us americans administration has to push for a solution. and in fact, we see that there is a very, the government's is the one that's calling the shots. and that's just a proving. and speaking about the washington's position, we have heard from actually every single american official who visited israel in the last year that america is still committed to the 2 state solution. are they really still committed? what do you think? i was in the white house and in the state department last month in the united states. i carried a lot that from touch leaders and bethlehem, calling for the cease fire. and it's hard to think that this was just a month ago, and this was didn't calling, but we helped me thinks that. and they, i showed us litigation that they are committed to the piece to the 2 state solution . and i immediately sent to the website. i'm to do it with me. nothing. and what

did they answer? they acknowledge they says, yeah, we understand why you'd say this. this time. we hope it's different this time, you know. but as i said, we heard this, and i don't want to hear this again. unless they are serious and committed, we need to confront benjamin nothing. yeah. who just pretty simply said that will not be able to send you a state mean in the middle of this one. so the question who's making the calls, who's making the shots? and it seems that they, even there are lots of states is not willing to confront and to challenge. and that then, you know, i mean, if they're not able to convince him to bring him in and teddy and aiden to his account, they can send, send to a gift for this thing is the state, this is the state of florida world right now. and this is sadly and, and they continue to end up with this thing is of course, and this is what they can't understand in your opinion past or what factors would

facilitate the end to the has to be chosen guys. so at this point, it's sort of the too late to save us more than 60 percent of the infrastructure that have been destroyed when it will be close to too many impulse to me and so being displaced, go after this one. will they just live in tense for 2 to 3 years? 40 years on certain concepts that ain't built. i don't know what to take for the world to wake up. ultimately we brought us to us. would it be okay, we went to god. what of what isn't it? i don't know. how would they will face themselves? i don't know how these countries, what are they caught that connected or the c words of shocks and taught on one day visit because after the war. uh and i will say no, no, we will not accept will not accept your apologies. um 20000 instead of sending and life skills and they still haven't moved. i know it's hard to answer,

but how soon can we see the end? i was horrified. 2 days ago when nothing. yeah. who said there's still much work to be done. so you know, i think how many more lives need to be kidding? how many more children need to? because i've had many testily designed diplomats asked me why didn't you have a baby jesus in this main church? i represent also, is there a to something i said and october 7th, around 30 is an 8 of children, but again and it's totally fine. but of course we have to condemn it. no one should prove that can engulf any time. it's all, but one is right. is what killed and what is there any children? what could that the whole world stopped? everybody came to those guys to show support them sort of died. $9000.00 palestinian children can relate to what is the world stop? when will they say enough is enough? when will they show sort of data to go on a common sizing to think of the do to,

to for create those to us. but a stance. speaking about him as, as a militant group, claiming they are, they are to find for the rights of the palestinians. what did they achieve with what they did and looked over the stipends? this is a question that we ask on this thing as have to ask ourselves. and i think i must must be ask this question after the war. i cannot as a man of faith just if i would accept the beginning of the children and the kidnapping of children, the kidding of civilians and that homes yet we should see everything in context. and even so, i don't support the ideology of having us. and i don't suppose that religious states and i was not, you know, many of us will split us. thing is what, not the peace with how they had on the before the war. and we expressed that we will do it on by isolating october 7th as an incident outside of its context

wide context. and we will be able to understand thomas as does this thing cool. before anything, when people ask me, how do we get through the, how much i said going through the queue, patient data from s m. s. exist to, to assist occupation. you might not approve that methodologies that ideologies. i don't support on the assistance to begin with. i don't think the finest thoughts anything. i don't think board solve anything, sage phones or anything. but at the end of the day the court issue is that proficient. the court issue is what is or it has been doing in the west bank and gaza for the last 2 years. and i think that needs to come a time in which everybody's have that comfortable for what is happening. and i say this just as a public opinion, but right now the, the, the toyota, it shouldn't be on stopping at the genocide. that is happening and is dark times. what's your prayers will be about us people of faith. we should be traumatized by

own words. i'm not pleased with what's happening in sedan and yemen between russia and ukraine, of course, and of used to hit close to home with the war on cuz uh and, and what's happening. my dad has all was being that we live in our land line to further assist us with dignity and pride that we have our rights and what not against anybody. would not against any other religion who had nothing against we're not going to for the destruction of a science or any of that. all we ask is to live in dignity in oakland and to have our rights likes of determination and freedom is equal. it writes too much task. this is what we're asking right now. my practice for children to be able to live us in peace with that aside. any of us one day this, this vision now seems so far away with the last world. and this christmas season.

we only have one requested in palestine, which is that the genocide that is happening because i what stopped and it needs to stop today before tomorrow it needs to stop because it's tragic. we can't accept any more day with what this happening. and because we've been praying for this, we've been working for this and i hope it is a chaste bathroom wonder. thank you very much for your time. really appreciate and i want to wish you piece for you and your people. thank you again for having me. the the,

with the end of world war one, the move in for an indian independence from the british empire flared up with renewed vigor. the british responded to the growth of the national liberation movement with arrest and brutal violence. repression cause active resistance. in march 1919 at the call of mahatma gandhi, a peaceful strike began in the country. but the british responded with a new round of violence and far bade the indians to gather more than 4 people. on the day of the sea bass at t festivals. a huge crowd of civilians gathered in the center of the city of i'm gonna start in northern india seeing base as outright defiance. general reginald dyer gave the order to open fire on the on arms people. the barbaric execution claimed the lives of at least 379 indians, including 40 children,

the youngest of who was 6 weeks old. the indian national congress considered the official figures to be underestimated and announced the death of more than $1000.00 civilians. the well known greatest newspaper, the morning post called dyer, the man who saved india, gave him a sword and 26000 pounds sterling as a token of gratitude for the massacre. the amorous dar massacre went down in history as one of the most brutal crimes of the british invaders, and only escalated the affair. struggle of the indians for liberation from the colonial yoke. the a concert or russian state. never as tight as on the phone in the most sense, community not getting hold of all sense and the

same assistance must be the one else holes. question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin machine, the state on russia to day and split the smooth net keeping our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube. the question, did you say even closer to the people, very in the environment that grow up in some people gloating there it is easy places and living very diseased places. other people live in areas that have less

infectious diseases. and when you grow up in an area of high infectious disease, high individuals, strategically go to the collector. this are conservative, 10 solution. the the known in vietnam as the american war,

the vietnam war lost its almost 2 decades and dragged in numerous countries. not any time right now and then you don't see it now. why it's all i'm empty. hundreds of thousands of american troops was sent to the country to bank the south vietnamese on me. i got that not, but the american soldiers murdered resistors mercilessly burned down entire villages and spread dangerous chemicals and the li engine lead up today by all right. did the americans ever fully acknowledge what they did and on the vietnamese veterans ready to forgive? yeah, yeah yeah, that's that way. it's too late. but yeah,

the . 7 the restaurant, i couldn't, the southern guns in city of it off reportedly leaves at least 20 dead and dozens of or injured locals, helping digging through the rubble in search of the survivors coming as a un official calls the it's really operation that pro monstrosity. you all are essentially fine with the policy the in depth total reportedly surprising. 21 dollars in people at christian pastor and back to the head and says israel enjoys on the content, but what he thinks to patronage from the west have to understand this. right, and for what it does, it does that extension of colonialism in the middle east today protect.
