the, the russia takes full control of the strategic city of, of the guy in the do nets for public following months of field options. but so you create interest withdrawing after the suffering significant lossless. also ahead get to another week of deb. the idea of strikes on the policy being an enclave, including the devastating rates that killed more than 15, no cost to the alleged sake of saving $2.00 is reading hostages. the candidate is gripped by furious fruit test against the nets in yellow government. this thousands of his readings demands another king, syiaa and christmas talk deal with the concepts while also calling for new elections. this government is destroying as well,

literally in terms of people die. and it's very important for me to bring down this government because they are damage in the country. everything they do is for their own benefit, their political see the not from months ago, you're watching the we came here on our t international, a recap of the weeks. biggest stories i do show a josh we begin the hour with the dentist republic, where the russian military has officially taking control of the cd about the after the russian defense ministry is published footage of ukraine and on the retreating before the newly appointed commander in chief alex and assisted gave the order. jeff troops, se moving along, roads under fire, and our bonding weapons and military equipment. it brings, as it's with run to preserve, lives must go, says ukrainian troops have suffered thousands of casualties. because local was the subject of the order of the ukrainian armed forces commander in chief seriously to

abandon the city was issued only a day after ukrainian troops begin fleeing uncontrolled from of day of good measures are currently being taken to finally clear the city of militants. unblock ukrainian units that have left the city and are hold up and they have dave koch and chemical plant. the liberation of the per, has made it possible to move the front line away from the net, thereby significant the security from terrorist attacks by the criminal receiving key information on the advance of our troops was not transmitted until the enemy had been completely defeated. and to see they had been taken under control. the city of, of the, of cat has been described as one of the most strategic points on the battlefield in the ukraine war. this which it shows what is left of the city after months of fighting residential buildings have been abandoned. as most of the city infrastructure has been turned into rubble, it's estimated that hundreds of civilians are still in the city significantly less than the pre what population of more than $30000.00. 1 of the remaining presidents

ship this thoughts on ukraine's retreat. it was the slum we're feeling, the joy, the freedom. let's see. we're home. thank you. all right, thank you. russia freedom at blasio? we are home and look on you. that is the most important thing with your credit and official side to the lack of, i mean nation arms as one of the reasons for losing the baffles idea of god. but according to robert, brought russian soldiers found full stocks of western supplied weapons enough to have got wet enemy units were based. the alms were abundant as ukrainian forces fled the strategic city. we spoke to human rights and labor rights lawyer done. corvalle t says and crane is locked into news as well, which the west refuses to accept and they don't want to lose. they don't want to be seen is losing this conflict date, convince their populations to send billions of dollars, arms and munitions to ukraine. they have to try to say that ukraine is winning,

or at least as a chance to win. despite all the evidence to the contrary, you know, right now congress he's considering, in other words, 60000000000 dollar a package to ukraine. if, if the american people realize ukraine is losing and will lose this war, they're losing for a number of reasons. nothing to do with congress. they've gotten plenty of aid from around the world. the fact is that they are not as well trained as the russians. of course, at this point, they're conscripting an elderly man and disabled people to fight because they have almost no soldiers left. which is another reason they're losing um, is nothing to do with congress. but again, this is just propaganda to try to convince congress to do something and send them more money. it obviously shows this desperation, right? you create needs, the us more than the us need to crate and to come up empty habit is going to be

politically devastating. for the leaders in these countries, biden, of course, is a, is good, is facing the election in november. he's put his presidency on the line for you, craig and a number of other leaders in europe and done the same. they decided they can't give up now. following ukraine's refrained from off the vladimir putin and explained rushes difficult decision to use. minutes remains in order to stop the prolonged conflict. a shift the rest of the video and as we expected, then the agreements that were reached in minsk women's ca agreement would eventually be implemented by everyone. we only found out the true state of affairs later when the former chancellor of germany and the former president of france said that they had no intention of implementing these agreements. but we did not know that we still tried to implement them no matter how difficult it was, by the way, from both sides. back then, when the minced agreements were signed,

i thought to myself, how are we going to persuade the people who live in done bast to accept these agreements? i thought we could gradually, but the other side was not going to do it. that's the problem. the current leadership of ukraine of the president announced that he did not like anything about these men's agreements and his team there. the minister of foreign affairs, the security council said that they would not fulfill anything. it became clear that it was useless, but the war was going on and people were dying. and naturally, in this situation, the people have done best turn to russia as a guarantor of compliance with the minister agreements with the request for help. that is all and we have moved from peaceful instruments to instruments of the military nature or any of this week more than 50 civilians, including children, were killed in nighttime idea of strikes and russell, according to the cause of health ministry, is what claims it to use the soul is cover to rescue 2 hostages. you might find the

following for the disturbing the, the, [000:00:00;00] the bottom of it 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. houses and mosque went demolished by thousands of strides according

to accounts from the local media. rafa, which is on the border with egypt, is now the most densely packed city in the embattled policy and clay. with more than 1500000 civilians sheltering their and as a result of the deadly rates. the idea of said if managed to rescue 2 hostages was seized by homos on october 7th, as well as found to continue using force to return more stuff to use from god. so that's 2 more hostages. hold on to 134. 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 split possible and to create the conditions for the release. otherwise the idea of finishing baths is really security agency had been working. honda moved for several weeks, the operation was postponed twice and started at 1 am local time on monday. as soon as the opportunity popped off, as the army says, if 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 countries air force has 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. all the lumen, large scale operation in rough, fine, southern parts of the gas, those 3 things real and see the reason urgent need claiming the rossville full battalions, all from us stations in that area that have to be eliminated. israel 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 a 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 take a listen. how long are you going to gives 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 low open spaces in gaza. there are places where it is possible to set off attempting templates 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, given diag 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 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 almost becoming 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 antonia who has ordered the idea of to get for ready for actions. the request was also cents to elaborate a plan for potentially recreation of guidance from the southern part of the 3. but it's really is also hesitating searing to anger, aged official, cairo's as any potential operation at its boulders. will put relations with israel to a challenge or a t spoke to an official involved in the mediation process. were 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 us claim that the operation in the south of gaza will stop all negotiations. and that means that the fate of $134.00 hostages still remaining inc of to between gaza will be

unclear. we are now at 2, it's on a boat, the crossing between a stroke on a trip to ed dozens of protest. her as you can see behind me, came to try to prevent humanitarian aid from going to gather straits. it is. he had another rally of this time to organize in recent weeks. they were stopped twice for any 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 at the ken him show on crossing another major entry of the 8th to the palace, student in place 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 protests or is on media to pass through. most people believe food was her medical and shelter supplies send from these really tears or we go directly to have mass supporting the militant group as rarely spiked it against in gaza since october, 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 $2300000.00 population have been internally displaced in full months of these really offensive way more than a 1000000, now crowded around the rough farm and southern parts of the street. for israel is now playing pensive military activity, raising concerns about the safety. of course, all civilian thousands, their thousands have taken to the streets of tennessee to protest the met. and y'all, governments handling of the war and gas or wall calling for new elections. and these ro,

the, this content is mounting in these realize some hostages, remaining her mas hands, while the war on god's already designed for testers are also demanding a new suit via and for those won't deal with the policy. a military is ready to be scrambled to break up crowds, blocking a main tele, be city street in jerusalem. hundreds running outside the prime minister's residence, shouting and sending the demands of some of the demonstrators so that 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 to 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 fine to take them out. years ago, every day we are waiting to discover this trying as well, literally in terms of people die 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, 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 protests. that's why i'm here. despite these rarely public's outrage, benjamin netanyahu claims elections of the last thing, the country needs is gavin,

it's unanimously declared that it will not submit to any prussia when he comes to the permanent recognition of palestine. is the subject of 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 . cool. yeah. are helping i'm a is really peace activist and head of the to state college and says benjamin netanyahu is doing everything possible to strengthen the is running right wing alliance and avoid early elections. and it's very clear that the days 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. you may lie and dramatically and the and they've been the gun, sweetie. renae in midland, lynn slide,

the victory and we'd take over that then the out this whole and that then he always 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 question, 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 the explain why to reinforce or so with these on government. and this is the, the reason why so many people are we go out to demonstrate against this government . because they see that the policy is not the right policy for the state to face when it's the rightful policy for the past and within the hour and the scholarship . the need to really and president disclaim the west and sanctions back as an, as an effective, an empty is all 12 packages at

a limited impact on the russian economy. the countries g d p. crime to buy 3.6 percent in 2023. i'll face in both the you and us, according to official figures at economics. loans in some european countries are a testament to the serious domestic challenges they face are to contributor rachel nice thing brings us more on that story of the wes team. unity is really sticking together, just like drowning victims the end up clinging 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, saving 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, there's an obvious solution for europeans looking for more reasonable. busy cost of living. so i'm not exactly current on the prices, but here's what it cost to moscow. $647.00 roubles, so that is exactly 70 dollars, 7 dollars and 5 cents, i think. and for that, we got to cheeseburgers large fries, large colla a coke knock off and a piece of chocolate take. so we weren't guessing what this would cost. however many here's and united states buy groceries and we didn't pay any sensitive causes . we're just putting in the car where 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 audiology maybe

doesn't matter as much as you thought, corruption, you take people standard of living and you tank is true filled, and crime and inflation. and they literally 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 leadership 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 radicalized where i'm making any this up, by the way, at all. so yeah, your opinions to just go do their shopping and dining in the most sanction country honors the same nation that the countries currently dipping underwater into recession said that they were going to drown as far back as 2022 a comes from in good. the russian economy is collapsing. boot is to get the money, but he can hardly spend it. and time is not working for russia. it is working

against russia. nobody wants to invest in russia anymore. put in, 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 of all 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 themselves, is dramatically bad. 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 days kids. wow, that sounds like good news actually. maybe now that matter for a quote, wind blowing across the country as a german economy minister, cause it could 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 schools last year is economic growth was higher than expected. precious gdp 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, this figure averages 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 f site side 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 the wes brand plan to destroy the russian economy. is it a bit of a snag? and this recession stops, seems to be quite contagious. even japan 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 and china. as for the u. k. well, it's now reporting a 2nd and consecutive quarterly decline says technically a recession with a greater economic contraction, then anticipated apparently no one to task. the british prime minister though direction is that in place from a loves,

movies right down the road is. yeah. he has a full cross journey to this. yeah, the confirmation of recession exposes a government as a prime minister completely out of touch with the realities on the grounds. a government that for too long has groups on the economic failure with complacency, content to be the manages of decline, which is so not the claims that 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 drinking degree and koolaid. the top official over there reportedly has the backing of e. c. b, president, please do not 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. as a recession, news larger of the year of mass purchased the sweeping the continents. but foremost they have denounced and the stifling agricultural policy is hundreds of farmers flock, tv, tale, and capital in protests. that's a great farm. us drove the, attract us through one of the system,

these largest one produced in cities loudly proclaiming that the industry is dead. large scale demonstration also took place in germany's frankfort, the test of scours posters demanding that the ease policies are against the people . here's what we heard from those at the routers on it. if we have to feed the world, then why should we have bonded production? these are the answers they should give us. there is a design of stacked, the damages this country. demo. we have the here to reclaim our rights because we will not be unemployed. and to given answers, we will be here. our politicians must understand this. we're here and we will not leave to the us influence and global economic development appears to be waning. our cheese looks on our boy to discuss this, this and more with world renowned economist, jeffrey sachs in the latest episode of world so part, you can watch the full program on our t dot com. but 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 spin, not thinking 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 a true house or 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, 1st america isn't extremely rich countries. it really is a rich country average of uh, average income, $70000.00 per person. so a lot of money. so there, 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 year is the life expectancy has been going down. basically for the last 10 years and the united states, we have addictions, we have a rise of the depression, a mass, obesity, so many problems. it's because the social fabric is not the only thing together, even though there's well

the and those other week's biggest stories head to a website out to you dot com for more news coverage and analysis. i'm a nationwide joshua, we'll see you at the top of the hour with the latest stay with us. the the,

[000:00:00;00] the hello and welcome to prospect borns on peter lavelle. here we discussed some real news. the death of alexi, nev only in prison, predictably and quickly became politicized in the west. and the following step is a cynical political tool. also, the annual security conference in munich was once an important intellectual venue. now it's a worthless talk shop and i'm joined by my usual guess george, send me while we in budapest, he's a pod cast where the guy goal, which can be found on youtube and locals and america's. we have martin jay, he is an award winning journalist by german cross that goes in effect. that means you can jump anytime you want and i always appreciate it. let's go start out with george in budapest, um the dentists of, uh mr. nevada. and they had such an early age in prison. first of all, i want to make sure to,
