of direction, but again, it's not, we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way inside the bar is admit that some of the countries nationals are fighting in ukraine but isn't going to do anything about it despite mercenary activity, being illegal in from also this hour they practice the worst parts of torture on us. we stayed in the rain for more than an hour and they beat us while we were tired of us nearly released palestinian detailing. he's described that religion abused by me. i d f. we there from a lawyer investigating one of many such cases the thousands who are still in prison, but unfortunately days 80 present service. and that is a deal completion of the thirty's are not responding to any requests concerning the

thousands of detainees as senior high mazda official, exclusively tells archie they'll pick gals and militant group box calls from the un for a lasting cruise. learn a new prisoner swap deals with israel. we are looking for a final total comprehensive seas for you, which kinda allowed to open the voters to live the seized on know the aid to initiate the launch and vision of exchange. and the council on american islamic relations condemns the so called sweetheart deal for a former white house adviser who's been offered a chance to avoid prison for harassing. i'm allowed to vendor in new york, the from must go to the world. this is our to welcome to the news our, my name's getting into the french defense minister has been forced to admit that

some of the countries nationals of in fact, been fighting against russia in ukraine. the par, us officials said the government cannot stop citizens from volunteering as mercenaries. despite the fact such activities are legal in friends was evidenced between infancy, sarah french civilians who went to fights and ukraine wearing ukrainian military uniform. these people have no connection with the french armed forces. they do not wear a french uniform and they have no association with french military institutions. we combine them from doing so, we're still a democracy. while the french defense chief, there was walking back a claim from the country's foreign ministry, which denied that any french mercenaries are fighting in ukraine or anywhere else around the world. it's after russia stated dozens of french soldiers, a fortune had been killed in a recent strike on the eastern ukrainian city of hark, called the bronze helps you bring with supplies of military material and military

training in full compliance with international law. france has no mercenaries, neither in ukraine nor elsewhere, unlike certain others. so, especially france knows nothing about any french mercenaries in ukraine, spots french bodies are piling up there, which is why russell's summons. the french from baset or 2 is foreign ministry on friday. but of course, nothing is expected to come out of that for the fisher has been saying that therefore in mercenaries they knew crane all along is something that has been documented as well. but frances, having none of it claiming it knows nothing. of course they know nothing because there's no reason in legal there, but that's not stopping their media from openly discussing it. is, can you do choose team, does it public knowledge that the dawson's possibly hundreds,

so french 5 to send ukraine today. if it's in, wanted a new toy attribute, indeed, it's mostly crude, this price nationals, i currently find some ukraine. according to the said, he had still money who regularly because of the troops and ukraine between the 6th and 7th, the frenchman, integrated into ukrainian eunice hides for a minimum wage. he also mentioned that between 20300, the french nationalist was dual citizenship. might have previously subs into for religion and no fighting for kids. in the very early days of the whole, the printed president crazed what he calls the international legion of territorial defense. so this frenchman may well have belongs to these formations. all these french volunteers going all of the approval of the 1st born ministry, or is it actually a private initiative? well, no, under no circumstances, would they go with the official approval? oh, no french soldier is officially fights in ukraine. on behalf of france. we know that friends is interested in prolonging the conflict and ukraine because their

politicians are admitting it themselves when they call for long term military support for kids and highlighting how much it benefits their own military industrial complex. and this is as presidents, emmanuel, my chrome announced this week that around a 40 scale massage, also known as storm shadow. ms. miles, as well as hundreds of other bombs will be delivered. so you crane in the next few weeks. and now these long range storms shuttle missiles are a key weapon, any praise arsenal. so once again, the west is escalating, a conflict that could have ended a long time ago. and they're doing this by continuing to send weapons for their own benefit and getting body bags in return. that'd be advice from a former french general to mercenaries out there. you're on your own as a legitimate target. so be aware, at the moment we are in the state of war,

were needed, and russia clashing on the territory, few crane. so we french most there is the side for personal reasons to join the war on one side or the other. they are obviously aware of the risks they have chosen, their own feet have an end of the game. they have already lost. russia is absolutely correct. you can see that these french most and there is a legitimate military target just as ukrainians would not hesitate to. should french mercenaries fighting on russia side? it seems that price will continue to know in the existence, all french mercenaries and ukraine. because if i had met snow in about them, it will have to at least appear to be doing something about it. and that's definitely not very good for weapons sales or their long term anti roll. so strategy well earlier another of my colleagues, nicky, are in spoke with french geo political specialists to really do lump or who said some of the country citizens are being actively encouraged to go fight for new nazi groups in ukraine. speak about french messing. there is a new brain,

then you have to understand that we have different kind of people different kind of pro 5. we have madison or is who can because that belongs to the new meds, the movements. the 2nd part is people we decided to go inside and ukraine against the russian federation because they believed in something, those people, most of the time the, what i call the useful idiots were believed in what they're told. and they say all we need to go and fight for liberty and we go and fight for democracy and things like this. all the kind of nursing are, is that you can find it's full, the praying soul yours that we're serving in the french foreign legion for example, but decided to break that contract from the legion. so this whole concept of most notices, more complex than it seems. however, as far as his view on paper, when it comes to the situation to create that they've been steadfast on it,

that they fully support ukraine. if they, they just be no significant changes on the front line that we've seen in terms of ukraine save up yet. that saying, what weapons are needed, funds will continue to support ukraine. how does process position, i think, is view affects those who might supposed to be willing to leave for us to go and fight for ukraine. when you find people in the streets in paris that are giving flyers to french citizen, go and fight with the as of battalion. it's only really means that in france we have a problem because we cannot muster this problem. in the june 2024, we have your family elections, like and with the situations and with the situation that we have actually in your opinion and in friends, it's much better to drill people's attention to something else. then to draw people that functions to the real problem that we have as well in developments on the

ground related to the new run to a few cleaning and artillery strikes on civilian targets in the done. yet, script public has left at least 6 people. the wounded, according to at local officials. footage from the scene shows the aftermath of the shelling of a hotel in the city of portal of the mercies. other buildings, including a kindergarten, were also bought by kids forces with cluster munitions. the u. s. and the u. k. have been supplying the widely bound shelves to ukraine. alright, turning attention to the middle east and the program where the plights of palestinians detained by the adf has been highlighted by the united nations and official for the world bodies. human rights office saves ease. interviewed civilians who were allegedly tortured biased, really trips. i've managed to meet a number of release detainees. they described being beaten, humiliated, subject to ill treatment,

and to what may amount to torture. they reported being blindfolded for long periods, some of them for several consecutive days. there are reports of men who were subsequently released, but only in diapers without any adequate clothing in this cold weather. well, some of the recently released palestinian men are now recovering and hospital in the southern gals and city of hold off their body showed visible signs of abuse including wounds on their arms and legs. your side, the former detaining, describe there or do a model. so on this, they practice the west types of torture on us. it was a rainy night, so they took us to a northern area and puts us on the asphalt. it was raining hard and it was cold. we stayed in the rain for more than an hour and they beat us while we were tied up. some of the tv i was detained for 38 days, and we were only released today when i was detained and these really army dog attacked me and beat my hand. during detention,

we were forced to sit all day on our knees. and we weren't allowed to move or even look around. i'm walking for the 1st time in 40 days. i wasn't allowed to walk at all. we were forced to sit on our knees 247 when it is really soldier wanted to show some empathy. they would let us move into a comfortable posture for 10 minutes, but we weren't allowed to lay down on the ground. we spoke with international human rights lawyer, bonds, officer rally. you describe the as really treatment of 1000 civilians as collect the punishment. this is a word that started getting, he said the police teens for being police damian's. it's not that we're with him, us, but it's against the board. but it's the names into thing, but he's seen and civilians should be punished. i mean, separate is days ago the is there any can a said approved and extension of an emergency board that, that allows these are a 2 or 3 these to the night, but it's dns access to lawyers. and this is for up to

a 100 and a 2 days, but this decision has been extended for an addition and a for a for months. and unfortunately this, the standards and certainly give it to you and how they deal with that. but, but it's the end case is not to you, it has been happening for years. one of the reasons why is right is convincing. this is it's feeding, but it has always been above that all a convention national community, especially western states, are focusing on the issue of is there any hostages, a and that's a good summit. but at the same time, you have to also focus on the conditions of but it's the of betty see me and thousands of probably seen in between. these are up in that is that some that goes us to and do a spent period. and after the 7th of october, the events gals in human rights group has also shared the account of a medical worker who saves. he was seized by his release soldiers while on duty wearing a red crescent uniform on carrying his 1st aid kits. while lead armoire is from

kansas city, a part of magic and the father of 3, he spent a total of $41.00 days an idea of detention where he claims he was tortured by is really troops on threatened with death. this is what the emergency worker safety injury they removed the blindfold and i saw what a soul just in dreams, uniforms bearing the american flag. suddenly they saw as it punched in me and continued for a long time, fracturing some of my breast bones. they kept bidding me and showed me pictures of a tunnel, accuse me of coming out of it, didn't happen as i always send americans and being for the how boss lead for us is spying on these rarely soldiers and existing in a combat zone. i denied all of that so by they electrically shocked me 5 times and severely beat me all over my body, causing unbearable pain due to breaking my ribs and injuring my had when i couldn't bows a pain anymore. i admitted to all the accusations involved with the investigation

violence. they took me in a kids except for my box the 2 yards. paused cold water on me and turned on the fence causing me to freeze. well, i was in the cage inside the prison, one of the detainees died in the same page. lawyer, a puzzle, certainly again, who is no investigating well leads k sais. the model was lucky to come out of detention alive while the fates of many other detainees remains on the. i am fortunate to you when he, it is among good thousands of said, but the scene, gainesville, have available, have been detained by the israeli occupation forces since the 7th of october, when he the, i've come out alive and but the thousands are still in prison. but unfortunately, those are either present service and the lady occupational authorities are not responding to any of our requests concerning the thousands of detainees. blood in

inside, is there any present? so we don't know data page among those be deemed or very permanent to individuals like that. they like that. and then she paused, but the data instead of commodity i do, i am hospitalized. and the we have a unfortunately no idea what, how many are alive? how many have been kids? how many a have been subjected to torture? our lawyers is or is they don't have access to them even. is there any organized human rights organizations? they petitioned the supreme court, but they have gotten no response except that is a very nice it is releasing and those be obtained today. but unfortunately, um the situation is unbearable for them because we have many reports of torture. as we have seen from what needs case or just to out to the thing you and say is gallons a is approaching a grim milestone of 25000 dead since october 7th. while many other victims remain

on accounted for to it is a pressure cooker environment here in the midst of utter chaos, given the terrible humanitarian situation, shortages and pervasive fear and anger, the communications blackouts has continued for 6 consecutive day, adding to the confusion and fear and preventing guidance from accessing services and information on the areas that they can evacuate to. is really iris, right? symbol bard mentioned different parts of the gaza thread. have the gun on this top overnight policy. they have video sources say is that at least 170 people have been killed and more than 90. others have been injured. the number of locations targeted or as throughout the striking by the is really ever strikes and is very bombardment reached 1515 the people. cuz the jury, i never strike a home around the a few hours without it. also, it's being reported that to these rated troops at 4 don't of a she was there

and right and rough i city as well. is there a, there have been this every strikes over night compared with the past few days? right. me. i'd meet every r t and one of the low cult shelter cabs and rough i city, south of the gaza strip. come us once a new deal with israel dot would see a prisoner swap. the last thing cruise, that's according to senior guns, an official by some name, who spoke with us exclusively here in moscow on friday. here's a preview of the interview we'll be showing later on there. i'm online in full we have booked a lot of proposals and from different datas categories, egypt shows about it's important to cease fav. and based on our experience with the 5th ccf, which has been violated by this. so he has a total events. when it comes 1st to the humidity in an age,

we were not able to send the need a few material it to the northern part of goes to have to have looked at when it comes to shorting and killing for the thing is you wouldn't, this is for you and also when it comes to be committed to the conditions or to the names of the list of people as teen and prisoners, women and children on this when you decide to release them based on our list. unfortunately they have, they will not to the have not committed to so your saying that israel keeps violating the terms of any potential ceasefire when it, when it comes to the terms that you offer. yes, the 2nd the dish was we are looking for a find them it totally comprehensive. cease phase. is that is is that a 5 is how much looking for an it is? yes, this is what we are looking for. which kind of low to open the voters to live the seized on know the aid to get in to goes up to the school. the rest of to been city minneapolis team goes on top of ink and the see the blue kid. and finally,

to initiate the lounge and there's another exchange. all right, another story we're across today, a former us state department official arrested on hate crime charges after publicly harassing how low food vendor in new york may of his charges dismiss. that's if, according to prosecutors, he takes a so called, i'm think biased counseling program. the offer has been condemned by the council on american islamic relations, which is demanding justice the salt of its valid verbal abuse and harassment targeting. and this is the straight bender was caught on video for all to see the sweetheart do she received from the manhattan. da's office is a shameful front of our justice system and hold on fitting to his actions as a policy. now an answer most, some bigger trend hate crimes are on the rise. nationwide and large punishments are a slap in the face to the victims. the represent a failure to address the severity of the issue, perpetuating

a cycle of injustice and further, marginalization, austere itself. it's worked as an a to brock obama was arrested in november after a video showed him insulting on muslim worker in manhattan ortiz. caleb martin has been looking deeper into the comforts reversal case. we're here on the upper east side of manhattan and 24 year old mohammed who's saying is hard at work. it is lunchtime, and he was the victim of a pro long street harassment campaign. months of intimidation and threats that were made by stuart selda with a former official of the obama administration. i was there and i was working on on monday and he come asked me about the, what are the from, i think anywhere from each of those he had told me, he's about thomas and you can be able to use i didn't do anything of that. i also saw him talking about quote on something like this. i think my phone on

record to him. now i'm scared about what he can do for me because i'm just working here. i don't know of anybody. you know, the video of stewart cell, the way it's, and the hateful things he was saying to 24 year old mohammed uh, they circulated the internet and generated a huge amount of outrage. i bought a new printer terrace. you support her and they're saying go, i'm the support terrorism. i'm not so you go, i'm just working years, right. you're a terrible person. you considering not me like, oh my kids, what about my children? let me go. i mean, killed. okay. oh, i see, you know why? we killed $4000.00 city in case you know why it wasn't enough. was go, go, go this man who was harassing a street vendor, talking about using his political connections to get him deported and saying he would be tortured back in egypt saying very hateful things about islam and muslim americans. he wasn't just anybody and he was

a former official of the obama administration. and now we understand the prosecutors here in new york and given stewart selda with a sweetheart deal. that's what many are referring to it as a sweetheart deal. where instead of facing any penalty, all he will have to do is take a sensitivity course to learn about muslim americans and the problems of being racially insensitive the problems of making offensive comments. so many are looking at this and saying this is an example of a, a 2 tiered justice system where it seems like those connected to america's political lead. don't face account ability for their actions, while the criminal ports seem to have let stuart sell to. it's off the hook for a haps, there can be a lawsuit in which some justice is one in which some compensation is awarded to mohammed who's saying for what he endured. but there was widespread outrage not just here in the united states, but all over the world about what the young street vendor was subjected to. so you drove hate crimes charges against former obama official stewards. seldom it's

a he harassed the street vendor multiple times and gleefully called for the depths of posting in children. and it was old called some video. your office is a joke, replace palestinian for jewish and see what would have happened to the perpetrator sold of it. some others like him, are untouchable, jail is only for the little people who can meet hate crimes. a bama state department official guest charges dropped after he targets and stokes, a full truck vendor. no jail for steward. sel though it's just as a vice training. so the case has generated a lot of outrage, but it looks like the courts here in new york city. don't consider what stuart cell the woods did to be very serious and have given him what many are calling a sweetheart deal. we'll have to see how this kate develops as the legal proceedings. continue have a lawsuit goes, caleb mauppin, archie, new york. with this thing with this lead attorney on the finder of the muslim legal law firm,

has some shipping saves. the case reflects an alarming trend of quote test lama phobia among us politicians despite large scale pro palestinian protest held by the american public. i think this case displays 2 extreme problems with the united states. the 1st is, don't forget it because individual was this individual was responsible for helping shape us foreign policy towards palestine is real. and we see that is real feeling a 100 children, a date with american support, american weapons, the entire united nations. fact that means against, for digital is doing in america as one of the few nations that stands in support of israel's 4th of crimes against humanity. and i think seeing of this individual and his and so i must some anti or appetite tell, assume hatred. and the hatred that he's expressed, how he's de humanized and vilified his muscle neighbors and muslim businessman, i mean, i think that just reflects the problem with us foreign policy. you have people that are filled with hatred and they support policies that we ultimately see

a leading terrific blood shed in the middle east. so when you see people like him, it's no surprise that america is unfortunately enabling the genocide of the palestinians. something else before we go, nature will both take members have a nice plans to fortify their borders with russian. belarus by building bunkers as a means to quote, repel possible aggression or that is despite the u. s. lead block itself recently expanding to include defended by moscow say it has no fights to pick with the west and the lights on babe. jane has also find itself on the receiving end of the similar a rustic plains with the nature of chief accusing kind of moving closer to the north atlantic block in asia. the sign of the heavy investments in a modern military capabilities, including more, a more advanced nuclear weapons and a china also a way of behavior,

especially in the south china sea. and the way china is actually violating core principles for night. the delicacy that the role of the we also have to understand that this is all about nathan moving into a show. but this, the about the fact that shined light is coming closer. those, of course, need to has to address what happens in a saw, a note because we order a global security lines about the goals to accomplish their macros and vice versa. as the north atlantic treaty organization continues to expand its rates into the far east, brussels seems a bit overly concerned about some apparently aggressive chinese behavior in the south china sea. it's a bit strange because nato has troops stationed in taiwan, which is let's not forget, a part of china itself. makes you wonder who is the real threat here, especially when beijing is the one calling to refrain from military activities. had an end to the finger pointing from nato's american overlords. we urge the us to

stop misleading, international public opinion with false narratives to strictly control and restrain from the line military activities and reframe from any provocative actions. more recently, a chinese delegation to washington again calls on the us to stop provoking beijing around taiwan. the whole situation bears a stark resemblance to the way rushes military operation in ukraine went down. according to the west, russia was the aggressor from the beginning. no matter how many nato countries were propped up on its border over the years for us into it, and i went toward against the drain with the, the cleared aim to get less, nate, he's getting the exact opposite, is getting more. ne depresses in eastern parts of the lions on who's getting to new members. i would say no, no. susan, no mention of nato's broken promise not to expand past. it's 1991 borders or it's steady military build up over the years as opposed to the new email of the nato

military block has increased its overall activity dramatically of late. considerable forces and resources from the united states have been re deployed to our borders, including aircraft. the number of nato troops in eastern and central europe has increased. let me remind you of what we all know. in 1991, they promised gorbachev. no, no, not an inch to the east. well, here we are. this is the kind of partners they are. they shamelessly lie through their teeth. at the same time, the block is no longer hiding its aggressive nature behind defensive rhetoric. i was told, years ago, it was not a military block, but a political organization. and last time i checked, article 5 was still in place. at the same time, as i said, the aggressive nature of the blog is not being hidden. us policy doctrines explicitly spell out it's claims to global supremacy and just go through spectrum with continual nato expansion in the far east and no sign of the west giving up on taiwan separatism, calling china and aggressor.
