streets, respond intelligently with full support using all available resources to defeat these criminal guidance. 7 years of destruction, hatred and accumulated mistakes. the rule of law disappeared because of political persecution. and today we cry, bloody tiers. they so the wins and now they will reap the whirlwind. unfortunately, president about it has no experience is completely unprepared for this job. but we must unconditionally support them as the country is engulfed in our conflict. the so, according to ecuador penitentiary service, a $125.00 security guards and full team administrative work is being held hostage by prisoners in 5 jails across the country. this video circulating on social media is set to show members of the last crow canarios, one of those most powerful drug gangs, executing,

present gods in the facility for which the head of the group had early escaped. now we've been unable to independently verify the footage lead, but in the meantime, a great to minutes. your presence is being seen on the streets across ecuador, the country is enough for the assembly gave its full supposed to be on forces on the police, including a mistake and pardons for the use of force, the necessary to restore security. you heard from diego as a camera or a buzzkill, unless phone button is whaler who says that the ongoing on rest in ecuador has been planned for a long time. striking, it's these go on the scale of this actions. this is not a key on this thing. i mean, this is something well plan because you can see where the old and critical areas are actually attacked and all the yeah. critical knows how far you know, this is sort of why the kids are not on their way again. i mean did there these are things that are happening everywhere in the content. there is more comfortable way

and um it raises a lot of questions and makes you suspicious about how decently this happens. eh, and also home, there was, some isn't how miserable it is because it's basically okay, you've got critical targets on the city just like a university, tv channels and whatnot. but these are actually sloppy criminals. this is not a military operation in that sense. but other st. and then also directly, this has this huge impact, the guster basically it the target thing. so targets the moving on to the news. now at least 15 people have been killed and dozens injured by. these really striking rough uh, which then southern gaza, a shell hit an apartment building despite the area previously been designated as a safe so by the idea of video circulating online. so the scale of the destruction,

as people scrambled to pull the victims out from under the rubble of the idea has released multiple it's age of his operations in the palestinian enclave, including street by street fights inc. and the ongoing ground defensive, as well as the strikes by these ready navy, from positions in the mediterranean sea and to the north. israel was launched a series of strikes on neighboring lebanon. it's obviously most a claims as military infrastructure that well, the international humanitarian organization, doctors without borders says it's con, you nice shell. so it was targeted on monday. the reports are full of people with hertz, including a staff members, 5 year old daughter who was in a critical condition, central gaza, as also coming to is really setting on the palestinian. the health ministry says at least the 57 buddies on 65 injured were brought to our hospital over the past. the 24 hours for the debt solely the enclave. as now suppose the 23000 people since

october. the 7th us, according to the palestinian health ministry, with over 59000 injured, 8000 missing and over 1900000 people displaced local journalists, the homes of children, spoke to us from the southern board. a city of ref. the latest news in golf off uh is what there is, um, is there any s like uh, barely morning around 4 am on uh, an mc residential house. a lot of people, a lot of display service tvs are trying to find a place to drop off off the uh, the wide around the variation by uh how, how big by the height, the humidity in a situation in the open area is another mossy areas where the id off, ask the palestinians to shelter. there's thousands of tents and there's thousands of childrens of thousands of all the and thousands of women women's staying and sheltering in at 10 small as prepared for winter. so it's very cold.

and right now, winter it is started and more challenging for the palestinians. bellows, teens phase most challenging is increasing the number of misplaced people of year dropped off city. that's means there's problem with food problems with water problems with a lot of things. meanwhile, the save the child, a children charity says at least 10 minus in gods have become emptied, sees every day, the enroll so reports of these 7 times more likely to die in an idea of bombings than are those funds that go into the children's fund 9 out of 10 infants under the age of 2 face severe food over 2 ways. the story of one child whose life has been thought of pop by the one of us for so i had this child mine. i lost both her parents and she was taken from onto the rubble to the innovation hospital and northern gas am. unfortunately, they couldn't provide the necessary medical services that resulting in the child coming to nasa hospital via the red cross. initially,

nothing was known about her because we'll have so many members have been killed in the war. and guys, a, i managed to identify mona through the internet. i went to nasty hospital. we saw that her eyes are injured, as you can see. and she also has a jewel injury which brought her to intensive cap. we won't be there to receive the best possible treatment until her unite with have surviving sista. we request a medical transfer outside of gaza to receive treatment. the most crucial aspects of a person who's their eyes, so we want to preserve mona's. additionally, we dom on treatment for the child stool. as the child cannot eat or drink staffel, we request a transfer for treatment. this is the simplest right for human being to be in good health. how are we spoke earlier to jamal zack, who had to advise that to then a palestinian prime minister at southern fired? and he says, the goal of these really invasion of dogs is notes that are the kids from us, but rather to drive the products to new people from the la of this government as

all just buying, if any of them status are planning towards the trans fair these 2 minutes as being viewed and smoke, there's just a case in the cabinet headed by the hour and they want to divide that by the senior initial buy. yeah. and if i sat in the front of see him over as a thread, as a 1st phase of trans setting, the main. yeah. and they entered as far as i and which is the fast. so this is nothing new is right from the beginning of the war i gave sky. the big, the plan that what they're doing on the grow, the general side, i guess the senior you can guess what, what's the me, how to do that as part of the $3000.00 per stadium. what up to 70 percent of the

markets and women, there's about 10000 people are missed this i bought this too fast and just most of them the most of them on and the by the way. so what we are facing it just came in and uh and this year and a griffin, which one to dismantle the not. i must not let existence but better see, and people from their own houses as their own land and their own country to but event them the size that instead of it them. and they sent us the secretary states onto the plane composite mets with the is rarely presidents. these are codes are during his latest middle east strip. that's all the science us for it's support. i want to say the united states of america present by then and the same expression

and your sec through blinking for your more all call of duty for the fact that you're standing steadfast with is around all. thank you, mr. president is always great. we value the president's leadership in these incredibly charging times the these very public gave washington stop different months. h shelly reception as relatives of the around a 150 hostages still being held captive by hamas and gaza. gathered outside the meeting between blinking and headstart to demand the release of their loved ones. you're a sector of states or the media conference. that expansion always really settlements makes it difficult to achieve. a last name piece in the region is real, must be a partner in the past. and the leaders who are willing to lead their people on living side by side in peace with israel and as neighbors. and israel must be most stopped taking steps that under cut housings ability to govern themselves

effectively. extremity, settler violence carried out with impunity. settlement expansion, demolitions evictions, all make it harder. not easier for his real to achieve lasting peace and security. a number of top is rarely officials back to disagree. the finance minister, best of the small judge said the jewish settlements should be established in garza and strongly labeled the entire population of the surgery. as nazis lu statements and surprisingly was met with rage on us, mainstream media, a jewish settlement. it should be established in the territory of the gaza strip, so that there will be a jewish presence there for a long time. so the terrorism does not grow there. if not, 13000000 nazis and gods if want to destroy us when they get up every morning. and we will wake up in 10 or 15 years to a new october 7th to me and as of course, the population of gaza. so take that in for a moment, 2000000 quote unquote, nazis and guys, and so babies 2 year olds, 3 year olds, old ladies,

all of them nazi's when the us based news outlet side sco has questioned the true intentions of prime minister netanyahu his war efforts in gaza, suggesting a prolonged conflicts in the territory is a destruction from domestic issues as it could face jail time on corruption charges is really supreme court recently ruled against destiny are, is proposed overall, of the judiciary weakening is gripped on power with us. i to this group, americans for peace, now says the body now ministration is making no efforts and the bloodshed in the middle east. continuing this that was taking the war poses unacceptable risk for ease real goals and civilians and the entire region for the sake of the security and wellbeing of seville in some israel and gaza. the biden administration was pushed israel to bring about the and immediate cessation of hostilities and people from war to peace making. i certainly welcome it. honestly. i don't find it terribly surprising. i think, you know, most of the world's population,

including many jews, are just repelled by what's happening in gaza. it is a genocide and, and so, you know, naturally, a lot of people oppose it again, including many jews. and i think also for zayn is they see quite rightly that israel is really just drawing its credibility. well, you're starting to see in the mainstream press more honest assessments the of the devastating civilian casualties in gaza. even the mainstream press, which has been very defensive of a visual, has come around this starting to talk about the fact that this is the most deadly conflict we have ever seen. certainly since world war 2, you've seen articles and the associated press saying that the washington post saying that the rate of civilian deaths or something you know, again,

unprecedented, certainly in, in uh, again since world war 2, even greater than world war 2. and this is a sea change, and i think that again, israel has a problem that their p r is now not working for the 1st time since 1948. meanwhile, the rainy and the supreme leader, ayatollah ali. how many has accused israel of killing thousands of innocent people in gaza coming came as the lead to adjust his followers onto corresponding use of fuel. all these things as much. there was a sense of the people of gauze. i have shattered the grandeur of the west side. his rel, this remark was made by one supreme leader i to allow harmony on tuesday. he was addressing and gathering some marks, a 1978 process, the new last city, a home that is seen as the start of the downfall of the for her us back. that'd be roll. anyone how to, how many a power which would be why and as long as revolution and what's happening today in

gaza. he said these moments of the machine came to fruition following the loss of many lives that led to a movement that was able to overflow quotes, be arrogant and depressive. positive emerging. there was dependent on the way he said, the same thing is happening in palestine today what a small resistance group is standing against the world superpowers. they're well equipped, but have failed to bring a small number of people in gaza and their needs for the generator that 30 of designers regime is committing crimes. first of all, these crimes will be recorded in history. that will not be forgotten, even after these honest regime is destroyed and wiped off the face of us by the grace of god. in future. it will be written in books that one day a group came to power and committed these crimes. they killed several 1000 women and children in a few weeks, looked at kaiser and the role of the people's resistance, a tiny group, a states with a population of 2000000 living on

a small territory standing against the us in all its glory and its sidekick designers. treasuring these all the different platforms, humiliating the idea of saying, and resorts to show as women and children and gaza. while falling short of achieving it said, goal of destroying from us, they want also fails. the emergence of neutrons from the so called excess of processes wrong. yeah. and whether or not it wrong can syria that or been engaged in attacking is really an american forces, is, is the part of the policy that's, of course israel and the west have responded by targeting the resistance leaders and basis over the past weeks, including senior members of us, it was harsh to shelby and our gc was for us. but what's more, fucking was the recent terror attack any of on the city of clermont, which was claimed by isis terrorist. but now it was as was engineered by these

royal and the us you want to supreme leader said the country will find and rigorously punish the perpetrators of the deadly attack the most of the sold incur mon, what's quote, a conspiracy to draw you want into the gaza war, acute one that will start in the bits a and catastrophic incident that took place in kind of mind which afflicted the nation. we do not intend to make our conversations, but we do insist that the real perpetrators and the people behind this incident or identified so they can be found and stops. and also it's largely viewed as a means to make one more. i'll get another loss of the anniversary of the u. s. association of higher gc was for the vendor last time somebody money who was viewed as the architect of the resistance fraud, which i swear to the safety of american forces in that region at the time when so a money was alive and now after his death, the same force has driven washington and the idea of to this fraction.

but now to a know the story, there were a cost today that you as a big tech, to promote an opposition narrative and deliveries driving it forward through and see governments, media outlets. the european commission vice president, as opposed to the push the message with google representatives fighting just information and promoting media freedom are 2 sides of the same coin. and we want big tech to do both. this means ensuring that visibility of trustworthy information online. not the propaganda of men score the kremlin is also i can play, submit a you sense ship of russian base media outlets including archie and sputnik brussels expanded is tense list of sanctions last year to include dozens of media channels. funding done from eric and a number of languages. in july 2023, the policy makers announced funds to allocates over 2000000 euro support defendants, russian and television media to operate in the you to innocent edits and marketing

j says you doesn't respect free speech and low salt brush accountable. the areas i see on the very fact that the e u is standing on a pedestal and preaching about some freedom speech and liberties of media. one itself is doesn't respect that until age media heights. freedom of speech is diabolical. i mean, when i was there for 11 years myself in brussels, covering the for number british titles. and i was absolutely horrified in the 1st few months of, of working now realizing how completely on how 6 the relationship was between 1200, the occurrence of journalist from over there is western media access. and also how the, the, you behaves, how it goes about his business. when it comes across journalists, you want to dig up to it on it and actually hold that accountable, you know my own list and help myself be in general, at least on one occasion,

possibly twice. there's a famous case, it was a hand smoking to look let's, let's look at it from a, the helicopter view of this is, this is another part showing that russia, obviously, and i think if we look at it from that perspective, we understand the nuances of it. and um, why it's been delivered in the way it's been delivered right now. and finally, over to the us with donald trump's legal team has presented arguments, saying that the former president should be in uniform prosecution is charged with trying to legally over to his 2020 election. last accusations that trump has labeled as politically motivated, i think, is very unfair when a, the is prosecuted by the bi engineer. so in almost every notice came out today that really happened to be

present, as we said, it's the same thing. this happened with this whole situation when they talked about the democracy. democracy, donald trump, is set to go on trial in march on charges of elections version of the allegation is that while he was in office and not viewing the 2020 election as legitimate, he missed used his power. and the allegation is that he tried to subvert the electoral process in the united states. now, this ruling uh, and this legal case could be pretty big in american history. it would be the 1st time that a former us president has been convicted of crimes. and it would set a huge precedent as you heard just heard,

donald trump said this would open pandora's box. now trump's legal team essentially argued uh that, uh, from their view. uh, this is not a legitimate prosecution. this is politically motivated and that donald trump is certainly not the 1st former us president to have enough areas, reputation to authorize. the prosecution of a president for his official acts would open a pan doris box from which destination may never recover. could george w bush be prosecuted for obstruction of an official proceeding for allegedly giving false information to congress to induce submission to go to war in iraq under false pretences? the president obama be potentially charged with murder for allegedly, authorizing droned, strikes, targeting us citizens, located abroad. the attorneys of their arguments they presented was not really bought by the judge. the judge said that, you know, farmer, us, presidents are not above the law. their actions have to be in compliance with the

law and that if this, there was not the ability to prosecute them, they could, you know, target their political opponents, they could give away state secrets, et cetera. however, it was pointed out by trumps attorneys, that is donald trump did break the law while serving in the official capacity of us president, you should have been charged and tried with an impeachment trial. there should have been an impeachment and a trial by the us senate. that is the constitutional procedure. and it's worth knowing that that did happen to donald trump on both occasions, on 2 occasions he was in peach. adam peach with charges brought against him, did stand trial and us senate on and on both occasions, he was found not guilty, and he remained in office. he was acquitted in the impeachment, proceedings that went on in the us congress. so this raises the question of these prosecutions that are now taking place if they are not somehow double jeopardy. and donald trump is facing charges that he has already faced up for crimes the allegedly committed in office which for which he was found not guilty in

a trial by the us senate. so this raises a lot of constitutional and legal questions, but many look at the polls and say that is donald trump is able to get through all the legal difficulties. this is not the only civil case or legal prosecution. the donald trump is facing that if he's able to get through the prosecution and the legal trouble, he's currently facing this very good chance he could win the upcoming election as phone numbers. do not look good for joe, but we heard from american talk show hosts the most back. he says it's even if trump is found guilty, you could still win this year's presidential elections. i've used this word before and the word is unprecedented. we've never seen anything like this and we've never seen anything like what's still to come between now and november. i mean, just think about it. a former president who happens to be leading in the polls to win the next presidential election, indicted several times and is facing several trials. and is in court right

now with his lawyers, claiming that he's of your own from prosecution for any crimes. he may have been committed either. you may have committed while he was in office would have trouble, you know, winds up being found guilty of truck winds up in jail. he could still run for president and when, but you have the, the president biden's justice department going after and inviting the president's chief rival, who is the head in the. busy pals, and putting them on trial in an election year leading up to the election. this is what happens in, quote, unquote, you know, 10 group countries in and kangaroo democracies. it doesn't happen in the united states of america, and it shouldn't happen for more on any of those stories as well as all the latest updates. uh t dot com is your place to go on to scott. i'll be back at the top of the hour with all of today's top stories. i'll see it on

the the car acceptance. and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different. whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to planes or do they have the state department, the c i a weapons, bankers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. i changed and whatever you do, don't my show stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable . my show is called stretching time, but again, it's not. we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you think

. the hello and welcome to cross ok. we're all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle. the conflict in ukraine sue will enter its 3rd year during this time. much has happened and many predictions made. western rhetoric has also changed a lot from russia is losing to ukraine. has already one and 2 biden's as long as we can. rhetoric doesn't change the reality on the ground. the cross shocking ukraine, i'm showing you. why my guess lawrenceville was an in falls church. he is

a former chief of staff to the chairman of the us going chief of staff and in monterey we crossed to freddy on. tell him he is an independent journalist and a contributor at 21st century wire dot com. i gentleman cross lock rules and the fact that means he can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate larry if i can go to you 1st here as we go into the new year and the 3rd year of this conflict here, i think it's fair to say, and i'm a pretty skeptical person. i've watched a lot of your commentary. you're very skeptical as well, but i'm a glimmer. a sliver of realism is beginning to come into the conversation. unfortunately, it until the centers around finance and funding this war in proxy war in ukraine. but at the same time, there's still a lot of magical thinking. what are your thoughts as the new year starts? i think the funding issue is more a congressional problem than it is a statement on whether or not the.
