1:07 pm
neighboring city of con eunice idea of strikes of hit 30 targets overnight. according to these rarely military palestinian authorities and the media have accused israel of targeting civilians and journalists, their journalist, mon, sure suman brings us this report from the city. despite the challenges, disliked deluxe fluids, walters cations, despite the lack of safety and security, despite having sites heating, the bullets, eating the air, stores a few 100 meters. last, where we are, the 10s of thousands of refugees, civilians that's causing displace, relates that trust. yesterday was one of those that these days when it comes to casualties. here, i knew this in the south,
1:08 pm
over 220 have been murdered. why the iowa and many others hundreds have with instance across different areas he's journalists have been killed including the sun. so that, according to what additional funds to get together with his for the 3 of us it's the side of the for j edison. however, we continue to enforce here despite all the toners, and we're proud to be part of this network. thank you to the audience for continuously listening to us. that's across live now to m baset or mona lamara, chief representative of the policy and in general, delegation and to canada, investor, thank you for taking the time to speak with us. how influential is the pro, is rarely lobby in canada and to what extent does it influence kind of those foreign policy port, israel and palestine? does it complicate your work during this current crisis?
1:09 pm
all right, so um yeah, it's, uh, it's pretty strong and then very influential and it creates a lot of headaches for canadians the shows that especially in the times like uh these, uh, but we, we can do that ourselves. we know that canada is, is that fast allied to israel. um, there is um, a strong lobby, but there is also true interest in canada stood by israel and not wavered too old. out over the decades where its allies been acting as a ruthless settler, colonial occupation. and if i tried to reach so we know that easier to up for canada to always stand the by israel. unfortunately, we're witnessing today is making that harder thankfully, but the, it's after thousands of people be murdered rudely and i'm truth verbal. so it's
1:10 pm
very hard after a 100 days of genocide, that makes one thing and principal transfer, i think for any country to be influence the, to scan the by what's happening and all the above. especially a country that prides itself with the standing was human rights and international law. does it make my work harder? yes, it does. but the for me, i come to canada calling for justice, respect, and implementation of international laws and resolution. so my cause is everything that canada quotes for. uh so honestly i don't the end be the other side of that conversation. you said the to canada is a steadfast ally of israel last month. so we did it here for a minister to though attempt to criticize the is really bombardment of god. so he said, quote, even wars have rules. so how would you evaluate kind of his approach to the conflict? yes,
1:11 pm
so we appreciate to begin the official is always confusing. that part of the need to follow the rules of war and the international uh human rights law. it's in the statements. but as we see, israel has broken every single box and that it's a question uh and they need to re evaluate those positions in stance on especially on the right. so called right self defense of israel, which is actually who it but what means what it means is actually be trans 1000 young people indiscriminately. so or the 3 by 3, evaluate position on the selling weapons to israel or trade traits that to happen with that. so the product so but for canada is approach i can tell you that we have noticed that a change of positive change in the past few weeks, more involvement and desire to open
1:12 pm
a political path. and i think that it comes with everything that's happening. the whole world has come to realize that they wait for israel, there will never be peace. so just this is the bicycle and it does not need israel's permissions and they need to act to just this. it's only way to bring peace to the region invested or on paper it does look like canada supports palestinians. it appears to support the proposed to state solution and to be against the legal is really settlements, but in reality, canada has cast votes at the u on against its own stated positions. how do you explain this contradiction? so uh we are told i can tell you what we are told uh from canada. look, we have her at the, um, along the years. so requesting those changes were trying to negotiate even to find
1:13 pm
a place where we can agree on boarding. so for canada, they say that there are too many of the solutions that they are politicized, and they are unfair. and i'm just, we isolate this route. so right off the bat, i can tell you that it's never made sense to us because you can. so, and you should be fair to the dresser, you can take place between the prosecutor and the prosecute said simply because the prosecutor is to step past all our friend up to uh, seats in the free world. so that bias became even more vivid after the 1st time you frame complex that we have seen a start double standards in positions this year. we also started that seeing a positive change from canada when we saw a change in the of the voting. it moved from extension to support on resolution assistance to ballasting and refugees. and we also saw canada,
1:14 pm
apple vapor of the resolution at the general assembly calling for immediate the major entities fire. so it's not easy per calendar to take those steps and we appreciate them very much. we also saw on the host a critical meeting between the prime minister and the foreign minister minister for an affairs hosting administrative committee of the airbus nomic extraordinary sites . so we're hoping for a past tour, it's uh uh, a solution for canada to take its place as a leader on this. and uh, we call uh, canada and every step of the way to work towards ending the genocide and recognize the state. we have seen in the west of the level of anti semitism come out when someone criticizes israel on any level. do you think that the high level canadian politicians are being influenced by that at all? yeah, thank you for this question. it's very important. it's,
1:15 pm
it's critical one and one that scares officials and ordinary people like i'm anti semitism is real. and we need to fight that along every other form of hate and the racism. but the, the things that is unfortunate i, for, i'm fortunate and deplorable. we're seeing the israel as well as it's that's fast. the pro is rarely a zionist, loved the use pulse, accusations of anti semitism to make sure to keep the occupation and i didn't tack nothing that pertains to the palestinian struggle for freedom. and the ration has anything against you d, as in boy, the jewish people, it's against israel, systematic genocide, policies that need to be stopped, but israel and its lot behind behind religion. and even now the definition of anti semitism was created. the ip started working definition that is used to label
1:16 pm
anyone who dares to advocate for freedom for palestine as anti semitic. so the chilling effect is good for somebody to norm it. but i don't think that speech will be stopping the. it's for palestine for law. what has been the reaction among the canadian public uh to what's going on and does it, does the canadian government's approach have the people support their so we've seen a lot of demonstrations and support of palestine over canada, and we have seen a lot of the statements and a lot of surveys that have been de, cannot but from canadians. and we know that in general canadian support paid them for palestinians and their human rights. but them, i always so my, we have a strong community here about the community and the support of these. why am i can
1:17 pm
air communities as well that this disposition on the ground needs to transform into a political one once the officials would be chosen upon their actions and upward social justice in general, and especially for them when it comes to palestine. so at that point we will see that transformed into an official position by the end piece and by the government itself. right now we see a little bit of a shift to from the government, see that to people as well. are calling so much for those 3 of the debates. and we hope that this, both these actions on the ground, the political spear would create that change invested earlier. you described the israel as a tax on gaza as a genocide and other countries have described as
1:18 pm
a genocide as well. what would it take for canada to officially support those claims of the genocide in gaza? jones is approaching general has been negative to espouse times use of it's right to approach international organs in general. uh, an event in the new and we've, we've seen that's what the resolutions and the i see and now we have the i c j in general. it says that it has not been a proper place to advocate for the palestinian. that is really complex. we disagree with that because the you don't have any other menus or that those menus were created specially for people to use for such a crises and struggles. i don't think that to see canada any time soon acknowledging that what's happening in palestine, genocide,
1:19 pm
but as we approach the hearing this week on the case that was brought by south africa against israel, we hope that a police canada and that stand the in, in favor of a sending was the israel on this creating a environment where where that to genocide that keeps happening and the canada especially as the human rights advocates and the champion of the rules based g, national or their at least we hope that its submission would not be anything, okay, believe with their and bassett or mona, i bought them are a chief representative of the palestinian general delegation to canada. thank you so much for your time. thank you. my anger has boiled over on the streets of germany, where scores of farmers are protesting the government's plan to slash agricultural
1:20 pm
subsidies. us rows of attractors have blocked the rows and several cities, including berlin, where the main avenue leading to the brandenburg gate has been paralyzed. administrators say the government's proposed curbing of tax cuts will put many farms under strain. the nationwide strike has already spread to other cities, including munich, addressed in new brandenburg and austin brooks. archie contributor rachel marsden, has more like the rockets here in berlin right now. i'm right underneath the brandenburg gate and uh, on this side of the gate, you have all this action kind of a street party vibe button on the phone atmosphere. and we have a whole load of trucks and tractors to behind me. these are farming workers from all over germany who have decided to converge on berlin all this week. this is day one of what they say will be of multi day protests, leading up to a giant protests are hoping on the 15th of january. now why that here? well, it all has to do with the fact that the salt coal leasing government has clogged
1:21 pm
back. some tax breaks that they've benefited from traditionally, the big one being fuel subsidies that allow for the, especially in this type of really high energy prices and especially for them with a very energy intensive food production work that they do. they have at this point um, benefited from at least having that and now that's been taken off the board and that's been cut. and uh, well, it's interesting because after they started making a bit of a rock s and after the government got, when did the fact that there was going to be some protest auction. they did roll it back a little bit on that. so the subsidy costs, and they said the con will just slow roll it. and instead of just hitting you with a subsidy cut all together, right now, we'll just roll it up gradually. so they the government slow rolling it and they're slow,
1:22 pm
rolling it right up to random virg gate. the other issue is the fact that these agriculture workers didn't have to pay a road tax on the vehicles that you see behind me, these trucks and tractors, being used for agricultural purposes. wow. now the government say you're going to have to pay a road tax on these vehicles. so i guess they figured, hey, if we're gonna have to pay a tax for the roads, may as well take it out for a spin. why is this going on? why is that gonna rich decide to do this now? why they put me down hard on the farmers, and the farmers specifically, especially at a time when the government's energy policies, skyrocketing, energy prices, incorporated into the production of food are really having these guys hardwell. as it turns out, she will discover it earlier this year. besides the very discreetly take about 60000000000 euros from a cobit recovery, i guess it is a slush fund to transfer it over to a green industry fund. and well, the conservative opposition got when did that and made
1:23 pm
a complaint to the courts. and the court said, hey man, you've got to put it back. so kind of like a kid who took money from mom's wallet and spent some of it. well, they were 13000000000 euro short. so shots, policy, government took a look at their portfolio of places where they could tax and spend, and they decided farmers or it all of that fits into the much larger picture here in germany, of the average citizen, not just farmers, but the average citizen really struggling you hear all over when you're walking through through town and walk you through the city and you ask people, you know, what do you think of the cost of living? is it free? so never when, just because, you know, it's just so much. so it's all way, way and very heavily. these guys are saying the same sort of thing. we're fighting for the average german and who's struggling with high cost of living and inflation as a result of this government's policies. all right,
1:24 pm
let's get more on this now from thomas roper officer and war correspondents. thomas, as we were just seeing, there were some images of german farmers, blocking roads with tractors and of demonstrations and maters major cities like berlin, munich, and dressed. and what do you make of the extent of these protests that were seen in germany? well, they were announced and expect expectable. the germans are quite separate and quite a lot of bible from, from the policy of the government in the last one or 2 years. and so these demonstrations of the, of the farmers where a good reason for many people to, to go to protest this thing is the question is how it will go on in the future. this is the question why do you think the government though has decided to place the burden of these cuts on the farmers? well, the government has a problem. they don't want to cut, it will be spending on. so that's on the defense and ukraine, and these are many, many building and so they have to cut somewhere and he says,
1:25 pm
social is issues. so they are caught several of those products. and one of the problems and what the problem was still quite a strong lobby also, although they getting weaker. but um, this was, yeah, from the point of view of the government was it was a quite wrong decision because of their paying off right now. it's been a tough economic situation in germany, but yet the german government continues to of further funds. uh, the ukraine. why, why has in berlin continued to provide a to train despite its own economic situation? um, this is a question many people ask um the question is uh they are doing a really all the european policy starting with the sanctions is harming the germans, you opinions and all of their all getting we should have the week of all the economies of suffering and also the people are losing wells, so why they are continuing? um yeah, you have to ask the people in building a brussels,
1:26 pm
why they're following the us course even if it harms themselves. and this is what we see right now. the general government has a problem with the state budget and instead of a cutting financing of ukraine, they are cutting social programs. so it's a good question. they are on to russian, whether it's on the old will or whether it's a following the political course of the us a you have to ask them, but it's obvious that ukraine seems to be more important than don't people, you know, the german government has also improved further cost saving measures and including cuts to subsidies for agricultural diesel or higher air traffic tax and changes and benefits. i'm just wondering what would motivate the government to introduce such cuts while also for the funding ukraine? i mean this and certainly this can be popular in germany to yeah, that's the point is that's what we see with the demonstrations right now. it is obviously not populating even uh, some console of the german government except for an interview that most of the
1:27 pm
germans on the side of the farmers have the situation. so, you know, sometimes it's always say you can be unto russians if you like, but if you go against your enemy, hobby yourself is a stupid and that's what the german government is doing. um, if the against the russian. okay. to the opinion. but why are they harming themselves, their own country, their own people instead of a doing something which helps with them? and this is the point i can't understand for me for me, the behavior of the german government is quite stupid, but it's what we see. okay. oh, and doesn't make sense to talk about the intellectual level of some of the drum unit ministers, but we see the result. it was in november that germany's top court throughout the government's 2024 budget plans which lead to weeks of haggling over how to fill a $19000000000.00 gap in the budget. i mean, is this really all because of the backend of ukraine, or is there more to it that's led to the current economic situation there in
1:28 pm
germany? oh, this is a quite more complicated stretch. we have to go 2 years back to the naples. we have something new coalition of the government. at that point we have 3 parties which are quite different. the social democrats wanted to have some sort of programs. the greens wanted to have a climate saving problems, the programs so called and the liberals didn't want to uh, the higher the texas. so spending more money without getting more income. and they just, uh, the solution was that the financial missed of finance, which was the shoals the time i suggested this kind of tricks in the task and they end up in the budget. so uh, without these budgets tricks which no, um, what canceled by the, by the court. maybe even the government in germany wouldn't have come to part because this, this tricks with the base of the financial base of the plans for this government.
1:29 pm
so this is a quite complicated, long story. all right, we're gonna leave it there. thomas roper author, and the war correspondent, thank you for your time. thank you. bye. international experts are meeting in new delhi to little over what's been called a crisis of international relations. and made an emerging multi puller world as part of the agenda at the 1st ever validate club russia, india conference, which kicked off this monday in the south asian countries. capital city are teaser engine sharma is there for us. the 1st of all, the discussion, the 1st ever well i by lot. so in new delhi soul, the pots association of dozens of speakers, dozens of experts from both the indian side and the russian side. on the agenda on the menu, issues like regional and international security sanctions, multi for the world, a for some other issues like creed in balance between india and rush out
1:30 pm
strengthening or india onrush or i'll buy lots of ties orders that was discussed close doors, which was divided into 2 sessions. now it's interesting that exports a hopeful that they wouldn't be realistic outcomes that's come out of to these big agenda, big d. ringback it's also very interesting because today's event comes from the back drop off the brick summit, which russia will be holding in few months to see are also the scans as india successfully wrapped up a g 20 presidency recently. so in the back from full so it becomes very, very important to the discussions that were held close door to the now sanctions for example, we have changed the world for the traditional way of doing trade. and the recent sanctions on russian diamond, for example, is something that was also a lot of discussions that happens to be a very, very solution already get into deep uh it was that's what the experts of really
