through creating on forces commander in chief seriously to bending the city was issued only day after you craning troops became fleeing on control. some of the measures are currently being taken to finally clear the city of the militants and block ukrainians. we need staff left the city and our hold up at the difficult and chemical plant deliberation of div to has made it possible to move the front line away from the nets, thereby significantly securian from the terrace attacks by the criminal regime in key information on the defense of our troops was not transmitted until the enemy had been completely defeated and the city had been taken under control. this is a big deal. it's a very strategic point as well. and the crating of forces happy and if not withdrawing, they've been fleeing of difficult. what can you tell us what it is from what we gather? we've spoken to fred is the colleagues over that and say they say that among the opinions there is chaos. a huge number of the troops would be the band and, and update. what will they be told by reviewing the reviews of the job? they never even heard the will this, the retreat? of course there's, there's no way to retreat because maybe you need more or less what can be described
3:03 am
as a route as i update isn't the for russian fall control in. this is called cynthia and always do attack so that they have to hold groups tried for the absolute chaos which is backed by the number of the be put deliberation of, of div good has made it possible to move the front line away from the nets, thereby significantly protecting it from terrorist attacks by the criminal key of regime. as a result, an area of 31.75 square kilometers, was liberated from the ukraine and nationalists, the enemy's losses in the battles for of div code during the past day amounted to more than that was $500.00 soldiers, the russian minister of defense. so here we go, has the hubs, toe and full bloods. we have food of victory in a vehicle. he was also given us some details, you know, a very of the size of well, 32. so i can help with this because we liberate to the quite a incredibly quickly again, because the presidents get the will to, to retrieve robin risk solvents upon thousands of the troops being that encircled
3:04 am
over the past 24 hours. more than 800-8500, you credited to fly the killed taken captive with the tape and it isn't over. let me tell you, it isn't over this. still carrying out the the, the wreckage, the theories of the multi story apartment buildings. there is also, it must be said about of do an underground safety. it is an underground safety without the exaggeration of the past. a key is the opinions, realizing the importance of the candidates physical tube estates. this which egypt importance of update, because it could that sort of the rooms to the railroads. proud food tubs, it also has a vocation system. the wonderful tracing plot that supplies drinking water to move in to media and people in it. so it is a huge loss for you. great, because it had been preparing the div that's for a long years. you'd have thousands of thousands of submitted to use to make bug cuz
3:05 am
whatever of dave around of dave to a very secure location. now that they've pulled out the re really isn't any way for them to hold the line as effectively because no way out they didn't expect of the after the full. we also know that they waited with the announcement of the capture of data until they were absolutely sure because the bachelors a get k all 6, they're also medium gradients, so trapped in the re about had advancing brushing a sort of troops as we've heard from ukraine the they said they've elected to save people's lives, which, you know, isn't it the link to be saying that you're claiming that you're trying to save people's lives? they won't have to say that. so just love a $1500.00 last and a single day. they would it be more organization to it, they will to trying to blame the weather. you get a general winter. and as they always to try this credit, russian fixed cost is positive. and so this is this positive debt,
3:06 am
which is relatively little for this, this top of the also, it must be said, you have units and out the way you put it in the face. so say you get it. this is all because of you. this is what because you didn't give us enough shelves. that isn't true. 2 weeks ago, i was just south of the money, the more you creating shelves, cluster munitions being far as us. so at the russian. so i said by there was some sites in that stretch while i was in money for the front. there, there is, there is, there is less, there was, shouldn't be no shortage of shells and um, being provided with store with u. k. so blaming these on the shortage of weapons, or the weather is, is an attempt to navigate and his government to offer a blade for the loss of data. one of the toughest baffles of this will. yeah, i mean that is going to be a bit of a humiliating retreat withdrawal for the landscape areas at the munich security conference. right now it's heading all these western politicians. everything is going a ok. send me more weapons in cash. and when we're gonna win this conflict with
3:07 am
doing absolutely fine and it here we have as you say, this huge withdrawal from a very strategic city of jessica that are that now we, we can talk about on, i understand that it was, it was a part of the front line that people were not really supposed to talk about, we go to keep it pretty much house josh right now. look, this is, this is the, this is the facts of it. and it was very difficult to look in when you observe because new creative intelligence, western intelligence, not track, not only, and this is what we want to move about phones, either journalist when we went to, we spoke to. but if we say cold an officer, they could track his location, anything we showed, even if we check to double check, triple check could be used to get special thoughts. and so we would, we would in the age of people's lives 55 by showing certain things that have different examples of an operation that was long in the making long it was very valid. it was cost me the funds that have to be in the business. now,
3:08 am
of course what restrictions have be lifted and hopefully my, my good friend and colleague the voters donald is over there. hopefully, you'll be enough to you soon again to show that you didn't huge bug isn't amount. so that'd be an issue where somebody and they should job and the encompasses as well as all the guy that meets all systems ministry vehicles abandoned and left behind by that you created military as they retreat. yeah. and it's a big retreat as well. it reminds me of when you go back to it was out of film off a bach mood as well. that was another significant frontline in the seats city. this the full in the same in the same way. there was of course, but you, but that was possible. that was sort of that, that was b. c chugs. yeah. each top russians would come close to and suckling in new brand new ways until the last moment. you would have zillow out, escape on this, and we'll hold it until the last. they'll never take this. and then they give the
3:09 am
fact the go to, to retrieve the thousands and tries the most that have by blaming the when i hear the description of the baby behind all these munitions and weapons, and americans supplied weapons in droves as they were treat. it sounds like the withdrawal from afghanistan were divided ministration left up by hundreds of millions of weapons. maybe tomorrow was over there, instructing them on how the retreat because it sounds like the same sort of thing we saw in afghanistan. the other bizarre thing i think is that you have a zalinski and munich, the mandate not requesting, not asking, not feeding for more weapons and munitions. the mandate that the u. s. provides more weapons or he will no longer consider the us strategic partner. it almost sounds like a teenage girl doing a break ups arrest, which is maybe in line with is mentality these days. and then the top it off the top, he talked to me in a conference that somebody should consider the assassination of president vladimir,
3:10 am
be with the chaos going on inside your brakes with him. replacing his top general with people's again, protesting the continued construction of their funds. and, and an uncles and brothers and sending them to these front lines where there were there until maybe zelinski shouldn't be given anybody. any odds. ukraine's president has defended the decision to retreat, claiming the move was to save soldiers lives. and at the same time, he's demanded more funding from kids. western backers, what does are those are a whole, but we are very much counting on a positive decision by congress. this package is vital for us. we are not considering an alternative today because we count on the united states as our strategic partner. if we talk about an alternative, it means that it is not our strategic partner shipping. so meanwhile, us present and joe biden says ukraine may lose other strategic areas of the front line due to a lack of military aid. the white house is pushing for more money to care,
3:11 am
but american law makers have been failing to agree on further funding for months. so let us know that our former pentagon security analyst, michael maloof, told us that congress is losing motivation to help you frame as pressing issues on the us mainland take priority. he also rid of killed the white house for claiming that he a is winning. it shows that they are delusional. they're not realistic, and people can see for themselves. we see it, we see what's going on on the battlefield. we also know what the reality is. and then when cala harris goes over there and start speaking i, i dread it. she's, she's,
3:12 am
she cannot put us simple declarative sentences together. and then what she does say is wrong, flat out wrong. and she's an embarrassment. so i, it's not, she, she's, she's really not helping for a cause. she's been during that even more. the congress has its own issues, and frankly, no one here is really all that concerned about losing a being a strategic partner with ukraine because they haven't really showing any forward movement in their offensive 20 to the fact they're very defensive. and this latest bout with the f guys is, is very, very serious. it's really that doesn't show any forward motion that the congress would be looking for in order to be encouraged to do anything. meanwhile, the russian president has reflected on his recent interview with tucker carlson, that's been viewed more than 200000000 times on the american journalist as ex
3:13 am
platform account alone. bottom, we're put instead, his long monologue on russian history should help us audiences understand what's really at stake in the ukraine. conflicts. it's a boon you pro. so i think it certainly wasn't easy for the western audience, particularly for americans. there's just over 300 years of us history, but i started all the way back from the year 862. so i think it wasn't easy for the american audience to understand. and yet i think it is important for us and for our listeners in view is abroad. to understand the thinking, to understand our state of mind, how sensitive and important it is for our country. what is happening on the front lines of ukraine conflict? what they see is tactical gains. we see is our destiny. a matter of life and death . thousands have taken to the streets of tel aviv to protest the netanyahu's government's handling of the war and gaza. well, calling for new elections and israel, the
3:14 am
discontent is mounting and as well as some hostages remain in home off hands while the war on. so as a rage is on, protests are also demanding a new cease fire and prisoners swap. deal with the palestinian militants. is really play scramble to break a proud locking and main tell of you've city streets across in jerusalem. hundreds rallied outside the prime ministers, residents voicing the same calls. here's what some of the demonstrators had to say . i can, i'm here because after experiencing the terrible catastrophe we went through in
3:15 am
october, it cannot be that this government remains in power without asking the people what they want. and we want the elections here. and now our economic security is dropping. prices went up by tens of percentages in the past year. our credit rating has dropped, which means damage for years to come. this government needs to go home. period. things are only getting worse with everything that's happened since the us. and if inside pick them out of prison years ago, every day we are reading is this is the strong as well, literally in terms of people dying. and also the stereotype as well. the values of this country people are leaving, people are dying. what else can happen that would need to prove that this is a dangerous government, the worst government, the government is running. it's very important for me to bring down to is
3:16 am
government because they are damage in the country. everything they do is for their own benefit, their political st. and the only way in my opinion to bring them down is, was produce. that's why i'm here. now despite the demands of the as fairly public, benjamin netanyahu claims elections are the last thing the country needs. he also reaffirm that the idea of will proceed with it's a salt on the southern most gardens city of rossa. we're more than 1000000 displaced, palestinians are sheltering. it is the same. israel will fight until it achieves complete victory. and this also includes action and rough, of course, after allowing the civilians who will be in the combat zones to be evacuated, to safe areas. those who want to prevent us from acting and ross are basically telling us lose the war. i will not have a part in this. the political campaign that i am leading with my colleagues has allowed us to operate with unprecedented freedom of action for 5 months. something that has not happened in israel's wars or something. earlier this week,
3:17 am
more than 50 civilians, including children, were killed in nighttime idea of strikes on rough up according to the cause of health ministry. israel claims and use the assault as cover to rescue 2 hostages. a warning you might find the following images disturbing. the look it is, this is what happened. these are the 2 mouses right here. and there are injured people to my relatives got injured, my wife got injured and they were all taken to the hospital. these to remain here. they were the displaced from con eunice and all tents here for the displaced. it's
3:18 am
like a refugee camp. houses and mos were demolished by dozens of strikes according to accounts from local media, rasa, which is on the border with egypt, is now the most densely packed city indian battled palestinian enclave. with more than 1500000 civilians sheltering there. as a result of the deadly raid, the idea said it managed to rescue 2 hostages were seized by her mos on october 7th . israel has vowed to continue using force to return more of the fees from gaza. so that's 2 more hostages home, and $134.00 still to got israel remains committed to the pledge, but there will be no one left behind. we will continue applying military pressure to release the hostages by full supply possible and to create the conditions for the release of the what's the idea finishing that is really security agency had
3:19 am
been working on the move for several weeks. the operation was postponed twice and started at 1 am local time on monday. as soon as the opportunity popped up, as the army says, it's less than an hour. and as a result, 2 hostages were indeed rescued and released these ro says 2 soldiers have been wounded from these really side as well. the country's air forces conducted heavy strikes in rough us to provide cover and support for the troops. the hostages were then taking too, in his really hospital and their condition is reportedly stable. also pensions of brewing between israel and egypt to the moving large scale operation in the rough, fine southern part of the gas has 3 face railing system. the reason urgent need claiming the rossville full battalions also not stations in that area that have to be eliminated. these will also believes the roster dozens of tunnels that connect gather to age of 10 to collapse them. israel needs to intensified, smelled through efforts. the problem is that at least 1200000 gallons are currently
3:20 am
located in that area. and israel still does not have any clear plan on where to move them or how to protect them from being heard. these really governments spokesperson earlier, get a very vague answer to that, claiming the res, plenty of space in gaza for people to freely move. let's take a listen. how long are you going to give them to leave? i'm where all day. going to go. you still haven't explained where they're going to go, given that so much is gone. so now is lots of as well the open spaces in gaza. there are places where it is possible to sets off attempting compliments, so that civilians can get out of homes way and not allow from us to use them as human shields. while it takes a rather surprise and cynical statement by and it's really official giving dia, conditions, people are health. and here's what the, when reports about the situation in southern parts of the gaza strip right now. in rough uh, southern gaza there
3:21 am
a 1400000 people. tons of kilometers of people living in the streets in plastic, make shift. shouts is a military offensive in the middle of these completely exposed vulnerable people is a recipe for disaster. i'm all must be coming wordless. the question now is whether israel launches or there is to launch its large scale operation. and rough um we heard clears pavements about preparations earlier this week. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has ordered the idea of to get ready for actions. the request was also sends to elaborate a plan for potential evacuation of guidance from the southern part of the 3. but it's really is also hesitating searing to n. your ages, official cairo's as any potential operation at its folders will put relations with israel to a challenge or a t spoke to an official involved in the mediation process. we confirmed that indeed the relations between the 2 could potentially crack in case of the operation . israel's allies in america also warning against the move while some us claim that
3:22 am
the operation in the south of gaza will stop all negotiations. and that means that the fates of 134 hostages still remain in ink of to between gaza will be unclear. we are now at nissan, of both the crossing between israel on a trip with dozens of protests or as you can see behind me, came to try to prevent humanitarian aid from going to the gather street. it is. he had another rally of these kind to organize in recent weeks. they were stopped twice really police a bit before this check point. they left their cars and walk here early on monday. by the way, there was another similar gathering planned as kept him so long crossing another major entry of the age to the palace student and played some 50 kilometers. from here, his really forces blocked the road, leading to that check point, explaining the area was declared and military zone and didn't allow protest or is on media to pass through. most people believe food was her medical and shelter supplies sent from these really tears. are we going directly to have mass

3:28 am
over 3 years ago. in the meantime, they faced a hell of a lot of consequences. problems folks are sent to meet your pest golf has been now premature assumptions by western politicians regarding the cause of all these that as an inquiry is still under way. the statements of western leaders a quite obvious look, there is no statement for medical experts, no information from medics and no information from forensic experts. there's no definitive information from the f, a cyan. so there's no information about the cause of death. and there are these statements, it's obvious that they're completely outrageous. we consider such statements to be absolutely unacceptable. they're unacceptable, and that's how we feel about them. well, there's a lot of information out there right now, but very little of it is confirmed basically the stuff we have confirmed is from russia's penitentiary service, who was the 1st organization to say that and i've only has indeed died political activist. and also we, we should mention political extremist and russia from and from 2022 onwards,

3:30 am
have is that, and of all his lawyer has refused to comment on the situation. specifically per the request of all of these families. like i said, we have so little confirmed information and already we're seeing across the what western media people pointing the finger at the russian government. we've seen also the norwegian ford administered the lot the and president, the head of the european commission. all saying that the, the russian government is to blame for and of all these death, even though an official investigation hasn't even been conducted yet. the, you holds the russian regime for sol, responsible for this tragic death. alexis, of all need paid with his life for his resistance to a system of oppression. his death in a penal colony reminds us of the reality of, let him you're putting the regime read full news about and of all me. if the report about his death in russian prison is true, it represents another terrible crime by putin's regime. this is something that rushes for administrators spokeswoman murray's harvest said is really revealing
