3:04 pm
the idea of finishing baths 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, 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 force is conducted heavy strikes in reference 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, all the lumen, large scale operation in the rough, fine southern parts of the gas was 3 things real and serious. the reason urgent need claiming the russ still full battalions all for math 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 is real,
3:05 pm
needs to intensified smoke through average. the problem is that at least 1200000 gallons are currently 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 hurt. these really get them in spokes person 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 all they're going to go? you still haven't explained where they're going to go, given that so much is garza now is lots of buller open spaces in gaza. there are places where it is possible to set off attempting competence 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 his really official given diet 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
3:06 pm
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. venerable 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 phone we heard clear is pay. it's been, it's about preparations earlier this week. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has ordered the idea of to get ready for actions. the request was also sense 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 agent official cairo, says any potential operation at its folders 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 codes potentially crack in case of the operation.
3:07 pm
israel's allies in america also warning against the moves while some mass claim that the operation in the south of gaza will stop all negotiations. and that means that the fates of 134 hostages still remaining inc. if to between gaza, will be unclear. we are now at nissan of both the crossing between israel and egypt with dozens of protest. her as you can see behind me, came to try to prevent humanitarian aids from going to the gaz. us 3 of 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 walked here early on monday . by the way, there was another similar gathering planned, 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 to live protest or is on media to pass through. most people believe food,
3:08 pm
water and medical and shelter supplies send from these really territory go directly to have mass supporting the militant group is really spied to the against in gaza. so as of to over more than 10000 trucks and to the guy who 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 have been internally displaced in full months of these really offensive with more than a 1000000. now crowded around the rough farm in southern parts of the 3 for israel is now when intensive military activity raising concerns about the safety of course, of civilian guidance there. well, meanwhile, in some of the thousands have taken to the streets to protest the nothing yahoo governments handling of the war and gaza will also calling for new elections in his room.
3:09 pm
the . we have open time, a who's needs ready piece onto this as well as the head of the 2 state coalition says that benjamin netanyahu is doing everything possible to strengthen these really bright wing alliance, as well as to avoid any elections. it's very clear that the, these are in the government a doesn't want to have a new election because according to all of the boards, it's going to lose any lie and dramatically and the, and they've been the guns, sweetie renae in midland, lynn slide, the victory and we'd take over that then the out, the phone that then you know,
3:10 pm
he's not the aiming to. these are the public. he doesn't care what would be the result of the pause because he doesn't want to go for the election. he doesn't want to even ask the public what, what they think about his government. therefore, these, doing whatever he can, you know that the strength is a writing a quotation, and not to allow and your election to be comp. and, and this is the reason why is giving away all these really interest to, to explain why to reinforces so with these home government. and this is the, the reason why so many people are we go out to demonstrate against these governments. because they see that their policy is not the right policy for the state to face with. it's the rightful policy for the parents and they send the, our needs. clearly, she was really civilians were brought to watch, tulsa, the torture. that's testimony of the you, the euro met, human rights months. a group is a see from recently released listing and detainees of a claim. the idea of invited is really civilians to watch,
3:11 pm
palestinians being beaten and tortured, probably was arrested at the check point setup new the q 8 round about which separates guys the city from the central region. as part of the is really random arrest campaigns. i was subjects to all types of torture and abuse for approximately 52 days. these really army brought a number of these rating civilians into our detention centers was beating us and telling them these are the how must terrace who killed you and raped your women. on the 7th of october, for these way the civilians were filming as being beaten, abused and tortured while making fun of us. according to the testimonies, groups of 10 to 20 israeli civilians were invited to watch on film. detainees was where the army, so just subject to them to physical abuse. so just, just for the social side of the prison, his foot pots in the hamas with slack last year. but the report suggested the release of the 10 he serves as proof that this narrative is not true. the med monitor says the inhumane treatment of the business is illegal under the wrong statutes, as it constitutes
3:12 pm
a crime against humanity is maul from those testimonies. this happened 5 times while i was being handled the 1st time we were blindfolded, however, one of the detainees who speaks, he wrote, told us that the soldiers were interacting with this way. the civilians claimed that we were all armed fighters. the other 4 incidents took place and again, the detention facility for successive is where the groups were taken inside of tents to witness our abuse and record the torture methods that we were subjected to without allowing us to speak or interact with the since we were not wearing blindfolds of the time, i saw them all 4 times with my own eyes. these is rarely sometimes brought their dogs with them to bargain us. they also took pictures of us and posted them on social media ops, particularly tick tock, which the soldiers themselves did the same. the gender, right, so of defense for children in some national solid guzman says that the, i guess, towards the end of human treatments, of well as the new business. but it's international was what we are doing. it's
3:13 pm
going to say that as a work and i, i forget that you might then, you know, even civilians if the but in the hosted it is if they did that, that it can be, i visited a, they can to secure did it, but echoed things to the degree man lives in them that even before for. busy for the court decision that they have must name, but as they are at 5 times, all of these allegations are illegal because every human being us. so on a sense, i'm phillip over and gives this in all the actions is divided by that vision, i guess goes by what they're doing now is it creating more and more of a head inside the scene in their communities against those really is what they are doing is not the practice of that sort of data or in federal get that or bodies. it is as a policy designed to damage it physically and psychologically
3:14 pm
the image of that. but it didn't really know the news. the russian all started to are investigating the sudden death of the friends who live to this. so let's say novelle and in prison on friday. and century service says that the 47 year old became ill after a walk and most consciousness of which medics were unable to resuscitate him. the west was quite to buy most scope of verses for ministry. they bumped against those claims. the death of alexi, nevada, and the has once again demonstrated their her parker, c cynicism and unscrupulous and this blame russia. and every situation scheme is inaction in a short period of time within 2 hours from $1419.00 western politicians and the media who are at their beckoned, called, managed as if to obtain the results of a forensic examination that had not yet taken place to conduct the investigation accused moscow and render a verdict or criminal spokesperson. demetrius golf has denounced. permit your assumptions by western politicians regarding the cause of nev on his death as an
3:15 pm
increase 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 science. so there's no information about the cause of death. and there are the 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 nobody has indeed died political activist . and also we, we should mention, political extremist and russia from and from 2022 onwards, according to the russian government. and the service says that uh, what happened essentially was that he lost consciousness after going for a walk and medics arrived at the scene of forwarding to
3:16 pm
a local hospital 7 minutes after being called. and they tried to re recess to take him for a whole 30 minute. so 30 minute for 30 minutes. yeah. and uh, but to no avail. uh, so there are reports also on confirmed ones that he had complained about feeling bad, but according to rushes social monitoring commission, this is an organization that's responsible for looking at for human rights in the country. no official complaints in connection to a state we're actually recorded. um we do have one source, is that archie, who says that that he died from a blood clot. but this again, yes, it has yet to be confirmed by the authorities of penitentiary service. said the commission was already on its way to the penal colony where this took place. and the last piece of information that we do 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 western
3:17 pm
media. people pointing the finger at the russian government, we've seen also the norwegian, foreign minister, the lot the and president, the head of the european commission. all saying that 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, flexing of all the paid with his life for his resistance to a system of oppression. his death in a penal colony reminds us of the reality of vladimir putin through g. redfield news about nev only 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 a harvest said is really revealing about the west's true attitude to fax and situations like these. the immediate, the reaction of need to leaders to nobody's death in the form of direct accusations against the russia itself revealing there are no results of the investigation yet.
3:18 pm
but the conclusions of the west are already here to and you know, like i said before about an official investigation, that's obviously going to be really important in terms of establishing what actually happened. but unfortunately, i think it's very likely that it's going to be ignored in the west. like many times before. when we seen similar situations like when and of all, ne felt deal in 2020 western press was saying that he was poisoned by the russian guy in russian government. and the medical professionals in russia conducted their own investigation and determined that there was no, there were no chemical substances involved. the system that was completely ignored . and unfortunately, it's likely we're going to be seeing a similar situation. now. let me know now the lift you any presidents has claimed that the west of the sanctions mechanism is both inoffensive and say, this is all 12 packages had a limits of the impacts on the russian economy. g d p client by 3.6 percent in 2023 . now pacing both of you and us according to official figures and economic slums. in some european countries are
3:19 pm
a testament to the service domestic challenges they face is all to contribute to rachel mazda with more in the story of the wes team, unity is really sticking together, just like drowning victims. then the clean to each other, after germany's own national statistics office forecasted a 2 year economic slump in the wake of a 0.3 percentage point dropping g d p last year, citing high energy and living costs. now it's the u case turn to drop into recession. also with a 0.3 percent drop in g d p at the end of last year, that was even greater than what economists had even predicted. all, according to official figures, the finance minister blames high inflation. so the cost of food and energy that spiked when europe decided to slack financial sanctions and constraints on its own cheap gas supplier, russia. but hey,
3:20 pm
there's an obvious solution for europeans with these for a more reasonable cost of living. so i'm not exactly current on the prices, but here's what it cost to moscow. the 647 roubles. so that is exactly 7 dollars, 7 dollars and 5 cents. i think in for that we got 2 cheeseburgers, large fries, large colla coke, knock off and a piece of chocolate cake. so we weren't guessing what this would cost. however many here's and united states buy groceries and we didn't pay any attention to process. we're just putting in the car what we would actually eat over a week. and we all came in around 400 bucks, about 400 bucks. and it was a $104.00 us here. and that's when you start to realize that idea ology maybe doesn't matter as much as you thought. corruption. if you take people standard of living and you tank is the truth filled and crime and inflation. and they literally
3:21 pm
can't buy the groceries they want. at that point, maybe it matters less what you say, whether you're a good person or a bad person, you're reckoning people's lives in their country. and that's what our leaders have done to us. and coming to a russian grocery store, the heart of people and seeing what things cost and how people with it will radicalize you against our leaders. that's how i feel any way radical where i'm making any of this up by the way, at all. so yeah, your opinions to just go do their shopping and dining in the most sanction country on earth. the same nation that the countries currently dipping underwater into recession said that they were going to drown as far back as 2020 to accomplish. good. the russian economy is collapsing. couldn't you still get the money? but you can hardly spend it, and time is not working for russia. it is working against russia. nobody wants to invest in the bush anymore. put and con, keep this up for much longer. this war will eventually come to an end by shipping the russian economy to the core. and we are in the process of doing so seems to
3:22 pm
focusing on all the ways that they were going to implode, the russian economy. these leading european countries mostly just ended up showing how it's done on them. so else is dramatically bad if we can't go on like this. overall, we need to invest more in this country again and get economic growth going. now that the wind is really blowing across the country, it becomes clear, but we have failed to address and the last few decades. well, that sounds like good news actually. maybe now that matter for a quote, wind blowing across the country is a germany funding industry calls that can power up the german industry and prevent the overseas exit as to countries that actually have a reliable energy supply. well, the same economy minister was busy bragging about reducing his own shower times. contrast all that with what russian president vladimir putin has been saying about russia's economy, maybe scales of last year's economic growth was higher than expected. precious gdp
3:23 pm
increase by 3.5 percent according to our calculations and by 3.6 percent according to the latest data. this has happened in the world average globally just figure ever just 3 percent. economies of developed countries are growing by an average of 1.5 percent. all of this is in line with the international monetary farms own upgraded assessment of the russian economy for 2020, for an upward revision of another 0.6 percent growth over its october 2023 projected resulting in a project and 2.6 percent growth forecast for russia in 2024, and a 1 point one percent growth forecasts for 2025. specifically the i m. s. site slide military spending and domestic consumption. so 2 things that are totally the result of western actions against russia. whether it's making weapons used in ukraine, against nato, back forces, or sanctions boosting russian domestic consumption and production. so it looks like
3:24 pm
the wes brand plan to destroy the russian economy. is it a bit of a snag? and this recession stop seems to be quite contagious. even japan and has been hit losing its spot as the world's 3rd largest economy in enabling jeremy, even in its pitiful state right now to move up in the 3rd place behind the us in china. as for the u. k. well, it's now reporting a 2nd consecutive quarterly decline. so technically, a recession with a greater economic contraction then anticipated. apparently no one tipped off, the british prime minister though is that it will be right down the road is yeah, easy or false?
3:25 pm
you already have the confirmation of recession exposed as a government appointment to stop completely out of touch with the realities on the grounds of government that for too long has you worked on the economic failure with complacency, content to be the manages of decline, which he soon claims he has a plan, but the plan is not working. he claims that the economy has tons, aqona, but the economy is shrinking. the claims he doesn't want to take us back to square one, but we are going backwards of the prime ministers claims. are in foxes oh, come on now, no need to worry. the experts have it all under control. over at the european central bank in charge of maintaining price stability and low inflation, they're apparently busy fighting over whether staffers are committed enough to
3:26 pm
drinking the green koolaid. the top official over their report of the has the backing of e. c. b president christine, i gather in telling employees who are ardent practitioners of climate change religion that they're just not wanted there. that supporting to a new report from political. so while the ship is struggling to stay afloat, those over at the home and in a position to help correct the course, have apparently been otherwise occupied, squabbling over the size of its carbon footprint. and finally, the us influence on the global economic development appears to be waning. nowadays, i've signed a bike who discusses this. i'm much more with a world renowned economist, jeffrey sachs stuff and the latest episode on well to pod. they can watch the full program on not com, but it is 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,
3:27 pm
you know when, when do present good news? 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
