the, the, the is really our strikes, the kill for military advisors of the rainy and revolutionary guard corps in the syrian capital, damascus device. israel has gone as far as to create from us itself. yes, i'm us has been financed by these really government use, top diplomatic chooses the israeli government of creating and sponsoring her mom to prevent formation of the palestinian state. the senior high mazda official exclusively tells our to the guns and militant group backs, calls from the un for a lasting truth and a new prisoner swamp deal with israel. we are looking for a final thoughts or the answers cease phase, which kind of low to open the voters to live disease,

to another $820.00 to shift to lounge. and the vision of exchange. and the council on american islamic relations can damage the so called sweetheart deal for a former white house adviser who's been offered a chance to avoid prison for harassing a law food vendor in new york. the live in moscow, you're watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble. we're covering the top new stories from around the world. we start in syria where for a rainy and military advisors have been killed in the strike on damascus. saturday, conducted by is really forces a residential building reporter. they collapsed after the error, striked with explosions heard across the syrian capital, as well, has bombed the targets inside the neighboring country with increasing frequencies. since october, 7th, emergency workers are clearing the rumble at the side of the strike, local se they were terrified by the attack. the name of susie and there are people

still under the rebel. there are people screaming for their loved ones. what did they do? the sound of the bombing was very strong and the house shipped from side to side because it's been what we saw was har, is really, is brutally written down the files on the residential building, their bodies on the ground destroyed cars. what soon did we commit to die like this? political analysts say, and mohammed mirandi says, as well as taking an escalation to distract from it, some damaged image in the gaza war. and there's no doubt that they targeted the iranian advisors, but ultimately the route of the issue is guys uh, and its palestine. and the is riley's wanted escalation. the americans want escalation because they've lost the war. they've lost on the battlefield. they've taken it out by carrying out genocide, holocaust in gaza,

which has made it even worse for the americans. and theirs is rarely as because their image has been destroyed across the world. so now they're looking to have desperately looking for all the way out. and the only way out that they can find is escalation. iran will definitely punish there's really raising. there's very reasoning is already taking that heavy beating across the board. the ron's allies and the resistance front. uh they are quite capable of uh, putting pressure on those randy wishing isabel can not defeat from us. they will definitely not defeat hezbollah and the resistance, any rock and syria is growing. so any escalation by the americans and those rallies is only going to make it worse for the regime itself for the americans. but i don't see a situation where an escalation benefits does re regime or the americans use top diplomat. joseph burrell has accused the as really government of helping to create and sponsor her moss and slammed prime minister netanyahu for not supporting

a 2 state solution. the advice? yeah, israel by continuing to reject the solution has gone as far as to create some us itself. yes, i'm us has been financed by these really government to try to undermine the palestinian authority of fetch. well, if we don't intervene strongly, the spiral of hate and violence will continue from generation to generation from funeral to funeral, when the seeds of heat that are being sold in gaza today grow a for else comments can just days before a foreign ministers are scheduled to host the is really for administer in brussels on monday claims that netanyahu's government has provided funding to a mazda, including by allowing guitar a financing of gaza have been circulating long before the israeli occupation. is really government strongly pushed back against morales comments. but netanyahu had this to say in 2019. anyone who wants to prevent these tablets?

spence, of a posting on state, needs to support strengthening come us. we spoke to eliza mcnair, a veteran war journalist, and political analyst, who explains that netanyahu never supported a 2 state solution, and is using the war against the mazda stay in power. as prime minister, these really government cannot achieve the desired the objectives and they cannot stop the rule because that means the failure and the for all big. i mean that then, you know, i'm to be put in front of reasoning stakes. on the 7th of october that took place and there he's watch, he's not capable of defeating him, us. and the only presented that our freed all the one can buy these really occupation forces in gaza. and he come to really anything but to continue the whole hoping that something can pull from this guy or something can happen to change the course of events. because as opposed to to event of going,

he doesn't have any solution. really. the positional is right, is exactly what be here means that then yeah, i would say a whole month i'm interested in lives or what not to give the police to unions estate. so what that does that but right saying is not completing the sentence when been, i mean that then, you know, said he wanted to support some of it is only to weaken the police seeing in the state and we can not without boss. and for him us and for that to fight one another . and this is why and it then yeah, who said in the last days i am no they to allow me the i'm asked has done all that she has done in gaza and we were confronted. of course, he's not capable of controlling because he's army has failed to achieve any of the state objectives to alter by guys, to the fee come us. and to free the presidents from us that once a new deal with israel, that would say a prisoner, a swap. and

a last thing truce as, according to senior guns, an official by some name, who spoke with us exclusively here in moscow on friday. as a preview of the interview will be showing later on air and online info. we have booked a lot of the proposals and the from different mediators, categories, egypt shows about it's important to cease failed. and based on our experience with the fear seats fav, which has been violated by this. so he has a total events. when it comes 1st to the humidity of an aide, we were not able to send the need a few minutes in it to the northern part of goes to have they have blocked it. when it comes to shooting guns, killing philistines, do you want them to cease for you? and also when it comes to be committed to the conditions or to the names of the list of for the scene and present those women and children on this, we can decide to release them based on our list. unfortunately they have,

they will not, they have not committed to so you're saying that israel keeps violating the terms of what any potential ceasefire when when it comes to the terms that you offer. yes, the 2nd piece was we are looking for a final it to turn the comprehensive ccf is that is, is that a 5 is how much looking for an it is? yes, this is what i'm looking for. which can allow to open the boat does to live the seized on know the aid to get in to goes up to the school. there is 22300000 pulse team. those are starving under the see the blue kid. and finally, to initiate or to launch a vision of x to major shipping. companies have suspended a traffic on the red sea roots that some of the us led mission and these waters that has seen who the attacks on commercial vessels increase on transport companies . so as the situation on the seawater inlet is explosive, the situation in and around the red sea gulf of aidan is deeply volatile with all

available intelligence at hand confirmed that the security risk continues to be at a significantly high level. due to the continuing situation. we will stop booking acceptance to end from berber code data, aiden effective immediately. we understand the potential impact this may have on your logistics operations. but please rest assured that all decisions have been carefully considered. and estimated at 15 percent of the world's shipping traffic passes through the red sea on route to the suez canal. it is the shortest shipping route between europe and asia. the alternative passage to the cape of good hope is almost 40 percent longer and considerably more expensive. all right, let's press live now to, i mean, are you back in on like, and policy analyst? i mean it good to have you on with us. what effect will the shipping company's decision to suspend the red sea route likely have on global markets? well, 1st of all, this is uh, the home, the tax on the,

on the global shippers is another just uh, the uh, the extremism and terrorism in that area. and the, the name that this would have on the, on the global shipping business industry will probably bags the prices of nature and the twin beds uh, originally calling me, such as the economy of egypt. so which actually a counsel log from the source canal. uh for all its economy. so which would be to have the global in best long term. it is also short term. it might have an impact on the original economies and who, who, who are what countries will likely fill depends the most of all except of course, as you mentioned, but who else might be most effective? when i was uh, shipping companies actually uh they go through the whole amount of uh, which is uh it was the southern part of the red sea that's across to the sewer has

come out and the ship to ship ships. uh, they're coming from asia going to europe. so the impacts leaving not just be regionally, but it's, we're actually also touched the u. s. and europe, at the same time, i mean the, who see these have announced that russian and chinese ships will be able to pass freely and safely through the red sea. why they think they've decided that russia and china will be exempt from their attacks. the world, uh, this is a jew, political uh mirror. i mean, as its being said globally and uh, this is what the western will actually send. uh, they're saying that the whole cheese is considered to be a new right proxy. so uh, which is actually not decided yet on this, this is not something official. uh,

but i think that they're trying to disrupt the whole supply chain. and they want to have the, the, the only reason they're saying so far is to that they're, they're doing this for, for the, for the, what's going on. it gets down there supporting the boosting and they're not actually taking sides with any specific country or government. i mean, since the u. s. launched it's operation in the red sea, what kind of impact has that had on the who the activity the us says that it's operation is in the attempt to, to decrease these attacks on ships. but has that been the case wherever they think the us, there's a, there's a global just for us that is being the lead by the us. the, the us have the time or the, the efforts that they want to spend on this on this issue. uh they're,

they're trying to, they're focusing more on the restaurant china, that for the time being, uh, and i don't think a boy needs we m and would solve this issue, or even the maritime task force would be solving this. i don't think distribution is going to be a long term issue and it's going to to take some turn the whole cheese or using a low priced uh drugs and ms. sorry, it is. the thing that's uh, actually spending time effort and the money on this would solve the issue as we know the. so these actually we're trying to make some peace with the who to use or for, for some time now since 2015. and he's in the right to use or just speak to you there's under on this issue. i mean, i mean being right now. okay. i mean i, you can nomic and policy analysts. thank you. thank you. the

italy's high court has ruled that the fascist salute, also known as a roman solo, is legal unless it threatens public order or risk reviving the countries outlined fascist party 2 laws were adopted. post world war 2, that band promoting fascist propaganda or pursuing pastors movements as well as race system, violence and hate speech. the decision of the causation quotes establishes that the roman salute is not a crime unless there is a concrete danger of the restoration of the freshest party, as provided for by optical 5 of the show below. or unless used in racial discrimination or to inside violence. as provided for by dimension a little after the 2nd world war, some things where universally obvious, the nazis with the bad guys and the russians made by far the greatest sacrifice leading to their defeat. but since the beginning of the conflict and ukraine now seems to nazis on the radio that you were just well misunderstood. and remarkably

in italy, a court has now ruled at the fascist salute, is no longer a bad thing either. hey, you can even get yourself a calendar commemorating it'll do chase favor black shirts. wanted to pay a wash to the man who participated in those events with the complete awareness of serving their country honoring the always taken both before and after september 8. 1943, the same, the same heroes. we know that there is a pro fascist minority which wants to rewrite the history of physically. we must never forget the war. criminal generals who never tried or tried never convicted, or even is convicted, never went to jail. otherwise you're including the new tell an army with an army of so low. of course the revisionists view of fascism and fire. right. nationalism isn't limited to italy in 2024. fascism is ugly faces reemerging in spain, coalition bull guerria and finland. and it's hardly surprising that it's getting

harder to suppress these displays when the collective west has turned a blind eye to cranes, well documented nazi problem even voting against binding its promotion at the un. i suppose when you're funding an army nazi militias in one country, it's easy to look the other way when it comes to another. the so as we faced into a momentous, 2024 that seems to west has conveniently decided to forget the horrors visited on by fascism all in the scramble to demonize the new bowl game on russia. the very country that sacrifice most to defeat it. we also shouldn't forget the pre war

images of the british royals and even a football team raising their arms to salute the nazis or the safe haven many mass killers found in the west after the war. it seems that when it comes to fascism, the western russia, the enemy of my enemy is indeed my friend. italian war correspondence on trailer, chevy says italy has not addressed the memory of fascism and this is a problem. this the sun dense of the supplement cost of italy, it's a shame for or italian. so i'm, i'm frustrating the words that are not a good policy of memory about the, the meaning of flashes mother meaning goes with the facts you sierra and uh, what's happened during this time. and of course, this is a problem for our collective memory. 4030 and collective memory, because some me 40 to cut bar dislike. now that barksdale for georgia,

maloney have he has a history in the bus, has a part of these now fi shoes. move them into the name was a movie meant to so charlie de leon, we thought in such a movement and unfortunately, a lot of them, a lot of the old generation of what we thought import difference say to this perspective. i think the better in this time, in this moment, the, for the history of a few are open for the city of the wars such problem about it started you started from memory just if you can, i can bring the public opinion and the politics and it's a bunch of venture sway, again, the cranes counter offensive hasn't been successful for kids, but has been for russia as, according to the russian foreign ministry spokesman,

right, has the heart of a responded to a statement by the printing president's chief of staff who called it's counter offensive for quite successful, given the circumstances. expectations must match opportunities and given the opportunities provided the counter offensive was quite successful. kia still has high hopes for help from the united states in europe. a russian president vladimir put and has pronounced the january counter, offensive by ukrainian armed forces, a complete and absolute failure. numbers. tell the story of kids that massive personnel and weapons losses during the operation. as, according to the russian defense ministry chief and moscow has repeatedly stressed ukraine and she no significant results. meanwhile, named stream media has been signaling the less than ukraine are looking for new strategies after the counter offensive. disappointing results. and government officials are expressing doubts about kids prospects. all right,

let's press live now to alexander markovich, head of the bar of the institute. alexander, good to have you on with us ukrainian armed forces counter offensive was not successful for kids, but for russia instead that's according to the russian foreign ministry spokesman. why does the ukrainian presidents, chief of staff consider the counter offensive a success then? well, i guess she has to consider it a success, because otherwise, you wouldn't be able to keep up with the morales insights, the ukranian army, which is actually highly demoralized after the savior of the reasons condo offenses . so he has at least to achieve some kind of public relations witchery, which is of course, um only a virtual endeavor, but no, it's based on reality. and therefore he has to somehow mess this failure to sugar coat. it's in order to sell it to the ukranian population, which um,

lots of parts just actually waning um, in the face of the car in the seats against the russian. i mean, alexander, the russian defense ministry has published accounts of ukraine's and significant losses and western media headlines are covering the operations failures. how would you characterize the general mood about the counter offensive reaction among politicians in the west as well? um, is your listenings to the license of the new york times, for example, or other important less than use papers um, at the end of 2020 free, you could see some kind of acknowledgements of the wary defeats of the condo offenses. and also this talks about a change in strategy in order to win the war in 2024 or in 2025. so the west has finally acknowledged that this one ukraine,

as well for ukraine is actually a lot of attrition. and now tries to desperately um, rarely the western public um behind it in order to um, make furniture or financial a military assistance book if possible. because um in the face of the sanctions and it's actually bad economic repercussions on europe. this military and on public support is waning. also, if you're looking on the united states, even though i'm president biden, is no longer able to guarantee further financial assistance for ukraine. and this actually means that everyone who can use it spring um, now sees that's the support for your cravings, dying and staff for you have to create so miracles and the propaganda front stuff where you have all these talk about um sending you missiles through your train sending um, fights and checks to your train, but of course all of that is um in vain. and they are even though it was

circulating some plans um by the west. um about um sending all the ukrainian rescue cheese spect to your train in order to make them die for us to landscape. so basically you can say that the west is becoming more and more desperate as it slowly realizing now that he has actually last of all for ukraine. but of course, western political global leadership is at the moment, not ready to finally accept this defeats so desperately try to prolong the wall. alexander, what do you think your crane strategy will be in this new year? in 2024. in the face of failed counter offensives, winning support, do think that ukraine will try to launch a new counter offensive? i think very well, 1st and foremost, i'm focus on some kind of p all week. there is like, for example, attacking the supply line soft crimea,

as they already did that the end of 2023. and maybe they will try to conduct some local cancer offenses. but as we could see with the devastating losses of the last condo fences with more than 100000 ukrainian soldiers, um, kilts and notes, i don't think that they are still capable of conducting another pitch tongue to offensive since they've actually spence, all the forces. so such a condo offensive in their offensive against buff motes, they are spending their people now when they are trying to desperately hold on of disco. and of course they also lost um their people when they tried to um, take talk marks in their condo fences and when to try to establish a crossing over to the effort. so i don't think that there will be another big to talk to offensive spots, rather they will try to desperately police to the grounds to hold what they have

left. and this is also the official strategy and of the united states. i mean, when it comes to ukraine, but i guess that this efforts will be futile, especially because the tensions between presidents so that's good. um and the army . hi, tremonti ukraine. especially commodities solution that they are still under rise. so i guess maybe we will see you some time though from detox or some youtube these in 2024. when the ukranian c stuff propaganda are no longer able to convince the army that it's actually um that it makes sense to continue to fight against pressure. right. alexander markovich had a visa bar of institute. alexander, thank you. thank you for the research. a former us state department official arrested on hate crime charges after publicly harassing a whole all food vendor in new york may have his charges dismissed. that's if

according to prosecutors, stuart. and so that's takes the so called anti bias counseling program 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 is strict vendor was caught on video for all to see the sweetheart deals you received from the manhattan, da's office is a shameful front of our justice system and hold on fitting to his actions as opposed to 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. mr. some of us who worked as an aid, the former president obama, was arrested in november after a viral video showed him in so insulting a muslim worker in manhattan. ortiz to kill him up and has been looking deeper into the controversial case. we're here on the upper east side of manhattan and

a 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 a normal day and he come asked me about the what are the from either anywhere from egypt off the associate. he told me is 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 stuart sale, the widths 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 on the board. unless you go, i'm just working user and you're a terrible person. you considering not me like oh my kids, what about my children? let me go. i mean to okay. oh, i see one retail for 1000 palestinians said, you know why it wasn't enough. wasn't 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 sell the with a sweetheart deal. that's what many are referring to it as a sweetheart deal, where instead of facing any penalty, all you will have to do is take a sensitivity course to learn about muslim americans and the problems of beings

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 injustice 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 sale to it's off the hook. perhaps there can be a lawsuit in which some justice is one in which some compensation is awarded to mohammed who was 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 its of a. he harassed the street vendor multiple times. and gleefully called for the depths of posting and children. and it was all called him video, your office as 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 case develops as the legal proceedings. continue have a lawsuit goes, caleb mauppin, archie, new york. right, did say with our to international effects on going underground the option response, the interviews dr. good for monterey, on western countries support of israel as gaza slot the
