the, the nice 24 people are reportedly killed and 0 strikes, rained down on targets in syria and iraq, 5 top wounds to move, threaten to infinity in the region. all types come be read. preston says one of his walkers has been killed along with 3 civilians. and is raining, shutting off the southern calls and city upon eunice. the i'm the boils in argentina as police class with protests is outside parliament as a sweet thing, reform bill by the punch is new president players. it's pos, todd,

the corolla to bring you believe, to buy them as a salty international we alive from last goods, but to see what else consult with the latest from the middle east. why media reports claim that 18 people have been killed in syria and the 6 in iraq in overnight and us as strikes. now? washington said it came in response to a drone attack that killed 3 of it saw this one depends because one that there is more to come the we will continue to work to avoid a wider conflict in a region. but we will take all necessary actions to defend the united states, our interest, and our people. and we will respond when we choose where we

choose, and how we choose why rock has for size washington's middle east bombing campaign. according to bag todd's military spokes, passing the situation might have serious ramifications for the whole region. this very strikes constitute the violation of the rock. the sovereignty undermined the f . as of the rocky government imposed the threat that could lead iraq and the regent into dire consequences. while we understand that the us central command has now confirmed, the air strikes have taken place in iraq and syria. the united states is saying that it targeted your ronnie, in fact forces. and at this point, the $85.00 targets were hit according to the united states. that's what the us central command is reporting. in addition to that, they say that a total of $125.00 explosive munitions were used. some of these attacks were launched from bombers that were based in the united states that flew from the united states to carry out the strikes. and this comes on the heels of the usa,

vowing that it would retaliate for 3 us soldiers that were killed in georgia. now from what we understand the white now says this entire situation lies squarely on the shoulders of the as long as republic. i'll be wrong and they blame iran for this entire situation. now the islamic republic of iran said prior to the actions that we recently seen that the united states continues to escalate its activities throughout the region. they will retaliate against the united states. you know that we do not leave any threat to announce that on. so, we don't offer a war, but we need a fair will nor escape it. now, it's important to know that a number of iranian aligned forces throughout the region had been targeted 5 united states allies, united states, and by israel waters. and a number of strikes carried out a number of prominent iranian military leaders and figures a line with iran who have been targeted. and the us forces that are operating in

syria are in syria, with out the permission of the internationally recognized syrian government. they are in violation of serious territorial integrity. 0 is now back in a membership of the era league. here is a fully recognized country, but the usa is violating its territorial integrity, occupying in space. meanwhile, the running and forces that the usa has struck in syria are there with the syrian government permission. they were welcome to the end of the country in the fight against terrorism in the fight against isis. and that's a context to this confrontation that we're not hearing in western media. they're leaving this detail out of their reporting. but many seer, this situation could very soon escalate. iran is that it will retaliate against united states. united states says it is retaliating for 3 soldiers killed in jordan . this could all spin out of control very quickly and many around the world are holding their breath to see what comes next. for us army resolve scope, bennett believes a washington lashing out in the middle east is really little more than the buys and

ministration. throwing attention. it's important to understand the iraqis have said for multiple years now that they don't want any american military forces. there, they don't mind an embassy, although that's might be needed to be removed as well. but the us forces there have no business there. the nations of those countries are rac, syria, iran, yemen, you know, even palestine. they need to recognize this is all emotional flatulent child like tantrums, for me, a dying regina divided administration, the binding regime and a disintegrating united states of america, the west, and its current soldiers and bases and all of that that are in a rack that are in syria, they're doing nothing good, they're doing nothing that represents the hearts and minds of the american people. they're doing nothing good. that fosters friendship or economic ties,

or alliances are peace and stability. and light of the latest developments us how speak a mike johnson claim 5, and it's a long time struck say, of appeasing a ron was a failure. he says american needs to project strengths. instead, there's something that we do for the button administration to admit that the strategy of appeasing around has been disastrous for the international community. and regional stability now is the time to present bought into wake up to the reality that his policy, if casing abroad, has failed. to promote peace, america must project strength, and it's actually a good thing that says they realize i can't get on to be quite costly today and i to the states they should think twice before affecting you done that? i think the delay is probably too new to the fact that you have some people in washington that are far longer trying to sort will buy 3 if they engage and decide

by services. and then you have the heads that the realize that that can get on the quiet, the mistake. and the dates i think continues. and this is one reason that you have this type of delay the, you know, the people you don't, you in person have that, then it's in the city of very and city of that because of the invitation of the city and government attacking, say the attacking you i mean, since it is against international law, but you know, we have talking about the countries that engage in genocide. the wireless and international law is nothing important to them. they take it in some database as an hourly basis now to gaza with 3 civilians was killed and 6 wounded in as rainy, shutting upon us, as, according to the red crescent, which has also confirmed the death of one of its own employees and me

a talk as well as defense minister said that the idea of submission in hong eunice is nearly over with the southern by city of rasa. the next target in the military process, mazda is con. eunice brigade boasted that it would stand against the idea. now it's falling apart and i'm telling you here we are completing the mission and con eunice and we will also reach our office and eliminate everyone there. who is a terrorist who is trying to harm us. the main lot in the most of the day and battle time plays, people are struggling to rebuild best shots of lives off to the withdrawal p i. d f . you can save yourselves just extensive destruction with homes and buildings reduced to rubble. a few remaining low cost canvassing, assessing the scale of the damage was the, the area was heavily damaged. there were no homes to live in. so we will live in, tends to get houses, were destroyed enough. families and children were killed. we don't know where to go . we call on the arrow button world nations for immediate cease fraud,

because there's been a genocide. they must spend no efforts to conclude a sweet spot of wheels and all that. not all upon all. despite the dog she monetary and situation is ready, prime minister has demanded the flu shot over and run over the united nations relief on walk agency for palestinian refugees, many west unsafe how to read the cop funding to the who and agency following allegations that some of that stuff were involved in the 7th of october about how most attacks, but 800 civil solvents from the us and europe have now published a lot of protests, they believe west and support for as are all amounts to a great violation of humanitarian know the unfolding humanitarian crisis and golf is the focus of the late step sort of coming underground form at the end of hobbits at kennedy school of government. professor joseph night said that visit america's unquestioning support as ro is damaging washington's soft power. you can

watch the entire show on our website onto to chromebook. now, here's a quick look. you can win a battle as moves a war. and now there's in terms of tactical successes, these release of demonstrating that they have a good deal of capability. but in terms of the soft r and the ability to attract others, i think the disproportionate number of casualties. some gossip has indeed damaged their soft power and washington's soft power in recent years let alone the gaza. well in it again i, i think the american sauce power has been damaged by the disproportionate, the killing civilians and the cause of war. uh, biden is pleaded for. the israel east is take a more measured approach,

but it, there still damage to americans. sauce power. meanwhile, belgium has some of the is rating on bass. it of following the destruction of the country development agency in gauze it's hot or the agency took place on wednesday evening. no employees were on site at the time. the strike comes off to brussels. in fact, the recent rulings of the international court of justice include for as well to comply in full, they are a patent control. so i've decided not to post funding for a rock in contrast to thousands of on the west of nations, of course, commenting on the wednesday informing the belgian foreign minister was highly critical of tennessee if this building of the belgian agency for development, cooperation in gaza has been bombed and is completely destroyed. attacking civilian buildings is and remains totally unacceptable. terry parties have facts about killing while to long believe that as well as some people on to far. this is where

i just, oh no, very specific. jump on. you've got objectives. and uh, we'd like to have a week and a withdrawal and you cost and of course it's uh, there's a lot of consequences on populations and also be your target. so cbs infrastructure because it pre to tend to be awesome terrorists to hiding a niche. but they are going to fall because or your looks like your very your, uh, the erase to attorney regardless tricked. and some of many still seen use when would like to and getting the where to take his territory part of it. so take part of great. so either way, he's writing the targets or done the um, the, the don't take into account to the you are the, the interest of the some of your kind of member states to offer you was

a push to well, policies the top and the eagles stopped. i remember when weird was the chinese and bessie bum by you. so they to it's you side to see, meet our procedure as low as may be on calls. so right now videos has a nice on line from the west, bank of an idea of soldier report to the assaulting a child. the son verified fatigue, shows the movement of the a top. now, the boy who was allegedly beats not by that idea of soldiers that had been on his way to buy some bread. the victims bravo later, gave an end to claiming that the goal of his where he still says is to instill them in the local population. last on last week and then what happens with my brother is as follows. my brother was home, so we went down to the supermarket to buy bread, and encountered the soldiers at our house door where they told him to go back to be my brother stopped at the door. they bid him and assaulted him. i was then she went out again and through the entrance door of the house there, you know,

they came back and i saw this him again. they were bidding him to for according dsl . this is not usual in our area. the check in the want to create a general sense of fear among us. so when we see the soldiers, we go inside the house who is forbidden to stand in the street. they want to instill, feel like this and don't so in general, everyone in our area, whether a child with adults or young man to is generally a solvent. yes, you should be. he's a child from our neighborhood, but he escaped from, from the on. they slapped him, he kept trying to induce. my brother stood still until the bidding funds, you know, feelings opened it was built in 10 days ago. was my cousins packed around. they were sitting there on 5. so just after you started breaking things and the shot a began beating us, we were 3 man. and they cornered us in the shop for about an hour. and yet they came to us. i mean the red cross, as well as several associations from jerusalem and on they came and comes to good reports. and after they left, the soldiers came again and saw the remote fee,

and we have filed a lawsuit and a complaint with the violence cars only increased the entire army war and cause a current and result armies. the novels assessment, some of the areas from colorado arbor, they go out and room, our area full time everywhere and without coordination, like a gang or something. the there are being on great seems on the streets of one of iris as protest as clashed with police demonstrates has had been out in full sofa sweeping with the bill. put fluid why the countries knew libertarian president, how the emily of the police tried to break up the crowds with tear gas. so robert bullets on this account on the, on the bus so which positive plus tests in congress contains hundreds of articles that could offer. and sweeping the free market reforms,

the new president set its own lane. root. flossing is a moment to define, a protest is filed to continue the fight. they hit me. they threw gas at me because it is the only way to contain us retirees. and what, because because we are defending ourselves because the feel that is the inside, the congress does not defend us, then not defending all rights. we have to get out. i have contributed for 40 years, so that today i did have a dignified old age and yet i have to continue being beaten. well, we're not going to see a government has just the right and that tells us you're going to suffer. you're going to have a bad time, and that's just making us suffer and making us have a bad time. and due to this is a disaster. besides, this thing is the hardest, the situation is now critical to be able to have $12000.00 or $15000.00 pesos per day to be able to really just have breakfast, milk, everything every day. something goes off every day and i have to work for myself

because i don't receive a subsidy. a full a, c i. a software developer has been sentenced to 40 years behind falls for the single largest leak of classified information in the history of the intelligence agency. and the revelation is exposed to c, i is my sense of hacking funds, communication outside of the electronic devices. so from 2012 to 2016, joshua shult walked out a sense of the site, but intelligence he stole thousands of secret documents about washington's walk with british intelligence and hacking smart tvs for spying purposes. he paused to batch information on to which makes the publication. prosecute, have dumped this a digital poll hall by putting on one of the most heinous crimes of espionage in american history. so let's see it on the snar. johnson says, this little shows that america's founding principles are on death. right. what made

what the united states was doing. so egregious is that it was spine on its own citizens that was violating constitutional protections. there are many other countries around the world that don't have those protections in stride in their constitution or under a law, but it is, it does exist in the united states. and here the c i a whose job is they're supposed to spy on foreigners. people overseas, but they were turning their spine on to their own american citizens, or people be persecuted and prosecuted for, for speech, for exercising free speech. and the fact that they're going after julian, the saw on the espionage charges and that he would face the death penalty is just absurd. he's a journalist who was doing his job as a journalist. he was not acting on behalf of some form of government. and what he exposed expose lies expose misdeeds,

expose criminal acts by the united states and by other countries. so that's sort of what's happened with this. what's become a tyrannical government, where it's going to punish people, incarcerate them, or even execute them as possible for daring to reveal truths. and it's, uh, that's not what the 1st amendment was designed to do. a recent, a defeated probation presidential candidate from taiwan launches to opposition party has been elected as the parliament's new speaker. and i could put a spoken wheels off to new presidential administration, which is per western artist or on it as well as the story a hi. once future has been on the west as radar for quite some time, as the u. s. continues to oppose china via taiwan. and when the islands pro western separate pissed, william, why won the presidency on january 13th, the entirety of western mainstream media wasted no time inhaling it as

a huge victory against communist china overseas now and a resounding victory for the ruling party candidate in ty, one's presidential elections seen as a blow to china, william ly campaigns on the status quote, to appeal to voters who want taiwan to stay the same, not independence, and not warmer relations with mainland china. which is why his victory is a set fact for b, j night has been labeled a troublemaker like china. beijing warns people against voting for him, but that's only painting part of the picture for one, the beijing friendly k m t candidate secured the speaker's chair. this past thursday, a position that will give the chair substantial power to check all of life policies regarding china. thanks for the support of the kmc legislative focus. and 2 of our independent colleagues, i was able to win the speakership with 54 volts, my shoulder, the responsibility of initiating reforms in parliament. and i will devote myself

just driving for the interest of the public. the people are expecting a fresh start and a reform at the legislative one, which will solidly bring happiness to taiwanese. that's my responsibility. and now while the speaker is required by law to remain neutral in parliament, she decides which bills are put up for a boat in the legislature, which controlled spending. so he could block the ly administrations, legislation regarding defense budgets and domestic spending. everyone should be loyal to the republic of china and taiwan. if it is an opposition party, it should be the republic of china. taiwan z low, we allow possession. we must find ways to protect the sovereignty and security of the republicans of china and taiwan. some people in this country still don't 100 percent agree that taiwan is their country. the idea of the loyal opposition party comes from the u. k. and as a norm among the democratic countries inside, ty, ones 2024 presidential results were weak for

a lie with the pro west candidate grabbing only 40 percent of the vote, a 17 percent dip, and the 2nd lowest winning chair for an elected president. since 1996 this past presidential election was actually opposition to lose because the deep uh that 2 terms as president and they were deeply on fox the outside one day because their corporate policies and to because the guy when the economy is not doing well because of the us sanction mainland china, which makes a lot of upside one for april to sell to their mainland customers, current president of the last one, the presidency besides the opposition is divided. however, the party lost the parliamentary elections. so now we have a situation where the main opposition party, they just align with 2 independent party members. they were able to lock in for the

speaker of the part of me and which means the new deep president of who is telling me into the office. he will face a hostile legislature. he basically, you'll be elaine dot president for the next 4 years. the election also didn't see the democratic progress party, the p. p, or the coolant tang k, m c. when a majority in the legislature with a t p p losing its majority from 63 to 51 out of a 113, resulting in a home parliament in a clearly divided region. now this happened in the 2 thousands. so as the saying goes, history could be repeating itself in the election results have fully showing that the d p. p. did not represent the island, nor did it represent the mainstream public opinion of taiwan. the p. p. u remains in power, but it will not change the basic pattern and direction of cross straight relations . it cannot prevent the historical trend of the reunification of the 2 sides.

what's more, a survey by taiwan, mainland affairs council and october 2023. found that over 60 percent of voters support the current status quote of the islands on determine political status and remain neutral. i'm reunification and independence. so contrary to the lesser of western headlines, high ones, current political administration is in such a blow to be j. if anything, the current divided climate and the reason signals on certainty with china still holding an upper hand on finding a protest by farmers across here are continuing to take groups and potent, for example, a nationwide a strike has been announced against cheap agricultural products entering the union from kids, according to poland, sort of dire to trade union members intended to block border crossings with ukraine . the inaction of the poli, shall socrates and plans to co operate with the european commission and respectful

of its decisions regarding the inputs of agricultural products and food from ukraine. leave us no choice, but to announce a general strike across the u ankle. cultural. wel, cuz are trying to come about storing costs and what they say of slicing green policies demonstrates us have taken to production, major roads with that tractors. and as a you need to download for us summit and brussels protest has started fires across the city. the, the global policy and st george, while he believes that such disruptive acts are really now the only way to be hot. it demonstrates just how out of touch of the europeans commission is that they've

had clear warnings for months and months that bolan's bomb is, and not just bo, this one was but the promise in eastern europe, their objections to this uh imported ukrainian green. and they haven't done anything about it. and so when we're now in this situation where they are, they've basically paused due to the general stripe. and it's not just the form is it's also the truck of the whole project. the ukraine project is very much in the lead project within the european units. there is no public support for transferring from wells to ukraine. whether it's alms funds or anything, it's, it's, this is a policy directed by the leaders of the you. they would have to renew the subsidies and they would have to withdraw the uh, the various uh,

green new deal. uh, policies that are obviously hurting farm is farmers throughout europe. a fed up with it. and this go to, this is the metal emphasis germany. this is bronze, this is poland, hungary, it is throughout europe that the fed up with policies that i cleared it directed at forms was how things that shape help this not saying so far. you haven't had enough that onto the problem is a place to check it out and have a good weekend the the, the, [000:00:00;00]

the, [000:00:00;00] the, i'm action or tennessee and welcome back to going underground rule cussing over on the world from the u. a. e. so has so called genocide, jo,

launched explicit war and energy, superpower, iran. this of the gaza resistance both is killed. ok, buying american troops accused debating isis in the middle east. and one of the usa is reputation. it's so called soft power. now that the usa backs plausible genocide that the world quote uses for the u. k. u. s. and you nation on back mass killing of tens of thousands of palestinians, mostly women and children and gaza. cauthrin clinton official professor joseph knife. when the dean of the harvard kennedy school is credited within venting the time, soft power is they just look at life and the american century is like a who's who have level security powers. he charts his rise to become charity usa is national security council. the assistant secretary at the pentagon, he joins me now from cambridge, massachusetts, to thank you so much for visiting i, for coming on before we get to the book, i suppose i better off give a briefly about who you think would win a wall with a wrong given that, so the debate right around the world and obviously especially here in the middle

east. well, it depends what one means by winning a war. and i think you'd find broad losses on both sides, but american power versus a rating and power. and the simple term, it's not a question, but who will pay what cost is a more difficult puzzle to figure out. and people are suddenly looking to the, by the administration to understand that costs clearly you uh, you helped expand the harvard kennedy school. clearly from this book you show how do you worked on that but is an i have to say some of the donors are associated with a back end. israel, israel soft power gone. now these pictures are beaming all around the world, let alone the us as of power given to the entire international community is watching as uh, nature powers back an arm to the teeth,
