9:01 am
the hello and welcome. you're watching the weekly on all the international bringing to the latest world news updates along with around that. but the stories that dominate at the weight is great to happy with us. and we'd be getting the hour and the dawn . yes, we're public where the russian military has officially taken control of the city of the con, the russian defense industry has published voltage of the for any and on the table safely fleeing the city. even before the newly appointed commander in chief alex on the south sky against the older, hey, of troops as a moving along roads and the constant find controlled by the russian army, a binding weapons, and military equipments. the strategic location of, of the gasket has seen months of woodlands as possible with the equating and troops, sufferings, thousands of casualties, and being forced to flee in disarray as, according to mosca. the because local, the literal through creating on forces commander in chief,
9:02 am
serious key to bending the city was issued only day after you create in troops became lean on control from a thief. measures are currently being taken to finally clear the city of the militants and block ukrainians. we need staff left to city and hold up at the difficult and chemical plant. deliberation of div care has made it possible to move the funds 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 ukranian forces have been 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 friends to colleagues over that and say they say the among the opinions there is chaos. a huge number of the troops would be the bands and, and up dave, what will they be told by radio, with 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 as
9:03 am
a route as i update isn't the for russian fall control in this is called cynthia always under attack. so that they have to, it's a groups tried for the absolute chaos which is backed by the number of the be put the liberation 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 nationalist. the enemy's losses in the battles for of dave during the past day amounted to more than that was 500 soldiers. the russian minister of defense of your show who has the heads told and full blood may approve of victory in a vehicle. he was also giving us some details, you know, a very of the size of well, 32. so i can help with this because be liberated quite a incredibly quickly again, because the parents get the will to, to retrieve robin with solvents upon thousands of the troops being that encircled with
9:04 am
a pause 24 hours more than 800-8500. you couldn't to fly the killed taken captive with a date that it isn't over. let me tell you. it isn't over the 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 city. it is an underground safety. without the exaggeration of the past, a key is the pinions realizing the importance of the candidates physical too. but steve, this would change it importance of, of data because it could, that sort of the rooms pull the railroads, crab food hubs. it also has a vocation. system, the motive of 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 up div that's for 8 long years. you'd have thousands
9:05 am
of tons of segments use to make bunk goods, whatever of dave around of dave, to 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 of the full. we also know that they wasted the announcement of the capture of depth until they were absolutely sure because the bachelors a get k all 6. there are also many great in 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 the single day. they would it be more organization to it. they will to trying to blame the weather you to general winter. and as they always to, to try this credit. russian fixed cost is hodge eating. so this is this positive
9:06 am
deb, 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 fee. so say you get it. this is all because of you. this is all because you didn't give us enough shelves. that isn't true. 2 weeks ago, i was just south of a 50 in money. the more you create in shelves, cluster munitions being far as us to add 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 support with you. great. so blaming these on the shortage of weapons of the weather is, is an attempt to navigate and his government to offer 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 of 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
9:07 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 kosh right now. look, this is, this is the, this is the effects of this. and it was very difficult to work in when you observe . because new creative intelligence west and intelligence would 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 a, an office, 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 wouldn't 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.
9:08 am
it was cost me, but that have to be available. now of course, what restrictions have been lifted and hopefully my, my good friend and colleague, he goes donald is over there. hopefully, you'll be enough to you soon again to show that you didn't huge bug isn't amounts evaluation, where noonish job and the encompasses as well as are the guided, let me solid systems ministry vehicles abandoned and left behind by the credit ministry as they retrieve. yeah. and it's a big retreat as well. it reminds me when you go back to it was, are to come off to take a bach mood as well. that was another significant frontline, the seats city. this isn't the same in the same way. there was, of course, but do, but that was possible. that was sort of that, that was niecy chugs, you know, each time russians would come close to encircling in any way since the last moment . you would have zillow to escape on that thing below the law. so never take this
9:09 am
and then they give the fact the good of the retreat through thousands and tries the most that have by blaming the when i hear the description of a baby behind, all these munitions is in weapons. and americans supplied weapons in droves as they were treat. it sounds kinda like the withdrawal from afghanistan was applied to administration left up by hundreds of millions of weapons. maybe tomorrow is over there, instructing them on how the retreat because it sounds like the same sort of thing we saw on afghanistan. the other bizarre thing i think is that you have a zalinski and munich, the mandate not requesting dot, asking dot cd for more weapons and munitions. the mandate that the u. s. provides a 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 his mentality these days. and then the top it off the top. he talked if, even if you're in a conference that somebody should consider the assassination of president vitamin,
9:10 am
with the chaos going on inside you crate 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 giving anybody any ideas. meanwhile, the russian president has reflected on his recent interview with talk a call said that's being viewed more than 200000000 times, or the american journalists, ex platform, the accounts alone, not a bit booted in, such as long all the long and russian history should help us audiences understand was really at stake in the ukraine, conflicts. it's a boon you pro. i think it certainly wasn't easy for the western audience, particularly for americans, is 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
9:11 am
the thinking, to understand the 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 games. we see is our destiny was a matter of life and death. shift of the case, the u. s. has influenced economic development around the world, but it's still minutes is apparently waiting on a boy co discuss is this as much more with jeffrey sachs, the director of the center for sustainable development at columbia university. on the next step is out of well deposit and you can watch the full discussion and creating the west reaction to talk a call since the voltage of in to be on our website all to dot com. so it's a now here's a quick preview. washington is paralyzed, they've got corrupted by money, it got corrupted by lobbying, it got corrupted by political advisors who think that the idea is been not thinking, you know when, when do present good news?
9:12 am
a interview with tucker carlson came out. the dominant reaction was too long. it's rambling, you know, because their attention span is down to 10 seconds or 30 seconds. it's like watching people who cannot think. you look at the major newspapers, new york times are washington post, how they covered the interview. it was all on the most superficial questions. oh, did. tucker carlson, intervene, should've done this. was the opening history, rambling and so forth. not what was said, what was analyzed. is it true? how should the west respond? none of that because there's no thinking going on. it's a game what allows the american society a to be so resilient and to take a song, many expenses without clear returns and without much of a policy change. because i have to tell you that i think in the rush it will not pass the russians would not have been so live in. well, it's interesting, you know,
9:13 am
1st america incident, extremely rich countries. it really is a rich country average of uh, average income, $70000.00 per person. so a lot of money. so they're squandering a lot of it right now. can you imagine a country this rich i and it's like in the soviet union and the in the last years the life expectancy has been going down. basically for the last 10 years in the united states, we have addiction as we have inside the rise of the depression. i mass obesity. so many problems. it's because the social fabric is not the only thing together. even though there's, well the good will thousands of take into the streets of tel aviv to protest the nets and yahoo governments handling of the war in gauze the well calling for new or like
9:14 am
citizen as well. the . a this content is mounting it as well as some hostages remaining him off hands while the war on dollars in wages on protest is old. so demanding a new c spy, and prisoners swap and deal with the palestinian militants. is why they play scramble to break up crowns. blocking a maintenance head of the city streets and jerusalem. hundreds, wiley down swan department just as well as it doesn't show things similar to moms as well. some of the demonstrators have to say,
9:15 am
i understand i'm here because after experiencing the terrible catastrophe we went through in 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 it's been time to take 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 fear of 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,
9:16 am
the government is running. it's very important for me to bring down to is government because they are damage in the country. everything they do is for their own benefit, their political seat. and the only way, in my opinion to bring them down is, was protests. that's why i'm here. or this 5 is way public outrage, benjamin netanyahu. james elections of the last thing. the country needs, his comment is unanimously that, that, that it will not submit to any pressure when it comes to permanent recognition of palestine. decided on a soft israel categorically rejects international edicts on a permanent arrangement with the palestinians. such an arrangement will be achieved only through direct negotiations between the sides. israel will continue to oppose unilateral recognition of a palestinian state recognition, such as that following the massacre of october 7th will grant a major prize to terror a prize that has not been seen before and will prevent any future peace arrangement . cross life now to yeah, they have so open time
9:17 am
a is really paced actually based on has olsby to state coalition group joint. it goes from tel aviv many thanks for your time today. i do appreciate it for the 1st of all, i'd like to ask how you would comments on the reaction of netanyahu's comment it towards international assets to achieve a permanence agreement with how this time to hey, we can expect that this would be the x and they'll send it then, you know, we actually use the international power in order to gain so volt among get the extreme likely lose relative to strength is a government. it's a misfortune that the many guns which would be the position is going together within the hour. if i did to lose the support among the advisory needs where it is, it's football team. but we need to remember that this is not the, the really involved in the following day. in the cabinets. there's still no concrete, the international also on the table. and once that will be re, did that will be offered to me. and this will include not just the posting in the
9:18 am
state, but also the money's ation. we tell you and it'd be in the solution today, hostage is crisis. when we would see much lively debate among these varies and these when it comes in, it will have to give you much more serious faults than just to and vote against ethan to think that it will go away. i mean, well, we have based on green crowns on the streets of tel aviv on jerusalem, calling for nothing you all who to step down. how do you think that going to react to visit to this position a and t. now we do see the most ration, but it's not the scale that can take down this government. it will take more time, more energy and most of the station. and then we would say a really public, a sentiment that we lead to an election through nearly election. and it's very clear that the, these are in the government doesn't want to have a new election. because according to all of the boards,
9:19 am
it's going to lose. you know, like a dramatic and the, and they have any guns we renewed the land lend side their victory, and we'd take over and send me out their phone and then you always look, i mean, so these are the topics. he doesn't care what will be the result of the pause because he doesn't want to go for an election. he doesn't want to even ask the public what, what they think about his government. therefore, he's doing whatever he can. you know that the strength is a writing the equation and not to allow and your election to be come in. and this is the reason why is giving away all these really interest to that stream. why to reinforce itself with these on government. and this is the, the reason why so many people we go out to demonstrate against these governments because they see that their policy is not the right policy for the state. so please, when it's due, right for policy, for the past and within the hour it needs call, you should know your work. advocates for pace between the 2 sides to do you think
9:20 am
this is achievable in the near future and they think of achievable on vanessa and you all heard government. and i do think that this is a huge opportunity and to ease way to the front of spinning into the region. aids very clear for the sides that they will, is the, is a total disaster for the stadium as well. and we should take a different direction. these are very clear understanding of the role that we cannot just handle the car and speak. we cannot just allow it to be the we need to serve because this is a new funding where that is being abducted by that will. they'll fall days, a huge opportunity in the united states. so then it, we sell the ruby i, i walk in on a very mean a basic, a package that will bring security and pastries. i don't think that then, you know, governments will be ready even to go see the, in a serious way such an initiative. therefore, we need an el, electrical, therefore we need to go back to the public and to s, these are the probably
9:21 am
a lots of these. then they do their life policy for the state of things well and who should run the governmental fees when they after and they send me out because as long as this governments we keep the pilot and we would not go back to gain trust from the public we would see the most x 3, y to reinforce that lead us to this disaster. and the answer to the international community to america, to sell their area. we'd be automatically know. this is the main reason why use way, need an early election to save the keep an applies to bill such as life and also to re stop a political process that will lead to an agreement and not to another will. without this sudden outpouring of emotion we're seeing amongst the protest is right now is on the 1st one that people have been protesting on the streets of 2 races the entire time of it. we. so some of the season even to be foldable started,
9:22 am
how all the voices of people being hubs in israel. a before the war, we had the just the surely form and the both as to was right. and it was a, is a, it was a, it was on a lot of these. right? you cannot think, not. this time we are in the middle. there will now still easily such as 5. do you mean guys, their thoughts much slower pauses? do we engage with the public to gain power to bring no paper to the state and to create report this, that we shake the political system? we all know there yet. it also the media because there are so many news every day, every weekend. so there is less attention to the fault is that these being has been tele visa on every weekend. and having said that, we see the numbers and we see that the numbers of b s are growing. more and more people are ready to go out to demonstrate the fact that these are at least continually dual and a is becoming less important when people stream green they,
9:23 am
whether they should go to demonstrate or not. and, and i put, i can, i can see that in the next few weeks, where is the more and more people are going to demonstrate more media coverage of the same events and more influence on over the decision makers just yesterday. and then he always says, spoke about the big game, be both the hosting, the main world, instead of the, i guess the asking who is paying for that? definitely it's very clear that they say this both is, these fees is it is important to meet them. you know is difficult a time to handle it and this is why you complain the guy, i guess. where do i speaking to today? thank you so much for your time and your inside garret is open. honda is really pays on to based on the head of 2 stays, coordination, group teller, these thank you. thank you. we'll leave this week more than 50 civilians including children, were killed in 9 time. id strikes on rafa. as according to the guns at health
9:24 am
ministry as well, claims that use the assault as cover to rescue 2 hostages. you might find the following footage upsetting the, the, the, the, the, the look at is, this is what happened. these are the 2 monitors 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 the tents here for the displaced. it's like a refugee camp. the houses and mosques were demolished by dozens of strikes,
9:25 am
according to accounts from the local media. russell, which is on the border with egypt, is now the most densely packed city and the and baffled palestinian enclave. with more than 1500000 civilian sheltering that as a result of the deadly way, the idea of said, admonished to rescue 2 hostages, who was seized by her loss on october the 7th. as well as valid to continue using force to return more of the axes from gaza. 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 false web possible and to create the conditions for their release. otherwise, the idea finishing that is really security agency had 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,
9:26 am
if less than an hour, and as a result, 2 hostages were indeed rescued and released. these real says 2 soldiers have been wounded from these really side as well. the countries air forces conducted heavy strikes in rough uh to provide cover and support for the troops. the hostages were then taking to and is really hospital and their condition is reportedly stable. also pensions of brewing between israel and egypt ha, the lumen 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, i'm not stationed in that area that have to be eliminated. as well also believes the roster dozens of tunnels that connect gather to age of 10 to collapse them is real, needs to intensified smoke through efforts. the problem is that at least 1200000 gallons are currently located in that area. and israel's,
9:27 am
so just don't have any clear plan on where to move them or how to protect them from being hurt. these really get them in spokesperson earlier getting a very vague answer to that, claiming the res, plenty of space and gaza for people to really move, let's say, can listen. how long are you going to give them to leave? and where are they going to go? you still haven't explained where they're going to go, given that so much is garza now is lots of as well there. open spaces in gaza. there are places where it is possible to set off tempting compliments so that civilians can get out of homes way and not allow from us to use them as human shields. while it tastes a rather surprising and cynical statement by and it's really official, given diag conditions, people are health. and here's what the you, when reports about the situation in southern parts of the gaza strip right now. in rough uh, southern gaza there a 1400000 people, tons of kilometers of people living in the streets in plastic, make shift shouts as a military offensive in the middle of these completely exposed vulnerable people is
9:28 am
a recipe for disaster. i'm almost becoming wordless. the question now is whether israel launches or there is to launch its large scale operation and rough phone. we heard clear statements 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 theory into edgar egypt. official cairo's as any potential operation at its boulders, will put relations with israel to a challenge or 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 moods while some mass claim that the operation in the south of gaza will stop all negotiations. and that means
9:29 am
that the fates of $134.00 hostages still remaining inc of to between gaza will be unclear. we are now at nissan of both the crossing between israel and a trip to ed dozens of protest her as you can see behind me, came to try to prevent too many hearing aids from going to the gaz us 3 of it is yet another riley 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 walked here early on monday . by the way, there was another similar gathering planned as kept him shut 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 send from these really territory go directly to have mass supporting the militant group is really spied to the gainst in gaza. so
9:30 am
sift over more than 10000 trucks and to the gas has 3 carrying around 140000 tons of food and water, about 14000 tons of medical aid and also stream really needed equipment and materials for shelter is the un says more than 85 percent of gas is 2300000 population has been internally displaced in full months of these really offensive with more than a 1000000. now crowded around the rough farm and southern parts of this tree for israel is now played intensive military activity, raising concerns about the safety. of course, all civilian guys is there like that jeffrey sachs is the guest on wells. the pa is with us on a boy and on the box with the world news update in 30 minutes. see you then the
