10:04 pm
or at least as a chance to win, despite all the evidence to the contrary. you know, right now congress she's considering, in other words, $60000000000.00 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 there conscripting an elderly man and in 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?

10:07 pm
which is on the border with egypt, is now the most densely packed city in the and baffled policy and enclaves. with more than $1500000.00 civilians sheltering there as a result of the deadly rate. the idea of said if managed to rescue 2 hostages, who was seized by hamas on october 7th, as well as vouch to continues in force to return more up updates from gaza. that's 2 more hostages. hold on to 134. still to go. 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 batch 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,
10:08 pm
2 hostages were indeed rescued and released these ro says 2 soldiers have been wounded from these really side as well. the countries air forces conducted heavy strikes and rough us 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 called the lumen large scale operation. in the rough, fine southern part of the gas was 3 face railing system. the reason urgent need claiming the rossville full battalions also not stationed 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 are currently located in that area. and israel still does not have any a clear plan on where to move them or how to protect them from being heard. these
10:09 pm
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 take a 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 gone. now is lots of spell their open spaces in gaza. there are places where it is possible to set 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, given dia, 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. venerable people is
10:10 pm
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 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 searing to ender egypt. official cairo's as any potential operation at its boulders will put relations with israel to a challenge already 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 mass claim that the operation in the south of gaza will stop all negotiations . and that means that the fate of 134 hostages still remaining inc. if to between
10:11 pm
gaza, will be unclear. we are now at nissan, of both the crossing between israel, an agent with dozens of protest her 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 walked 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 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 protest or is on media to pass through. most people believe food was her medical and shelter supplies sent from these really territory go directly to have mass supporting the militant group is really spiting against in gaza. since about over more than 10000 trucks and to the guy who has 3,
10:12 pm
carrying around 140000 tons of food and water, about 14000 tons of medical aid and also streamline, 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 way 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, all civilian thousands, their thousands of taken to the streets of tennessee to protest. and that's in your government's handling of the war in gaza while calling for new elections. and these are all the
10:13 pm
the whose content as mounting. it is realism hostages, remaining her mouse hands while the war guys are rate is on for just as are also demanding musings via and prisoners will deal with the listing and militants is ready for the scramble to break up crowds, blocking and main, till every city streets in jerusalem, hundreds right outside the prime ministers, residents shouting in the last 2 months. here's what some of the demonstrators told us. any time 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
10:14 pm
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 been time to take them out of prison years ago. every day we are waiting and this is the 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, was protest. that's why i'm here. despite these ready public southridge, benjamin netanyahu claims elections of the last thing. the country needs is cabinets, unanimously,
10:15 pm
decant that it will not submit to any pressure. so when it comes to a permanent recognition of follows, time is the soft of disease. or you'll 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 con. yeah, roof, open the eyes, ready, peace activist and head of the 2 stage collisions says benjamin netanyahu is doing everything possible. just friends and be ready right wing alliance and avoid early elections. it's very clear that the, these are the government a doesn't want to have a new election because according to all of the boards is going to lose any lie and dramatically. and the, and the pentagon, sweetie renae in midland, lin,
10:16 pm
slide the victory and always take over and let them you out. del sol, nathaniel, always not aiming to these republic. he doesn't care what will be the result of the pause because he doesn't want to go for an eli election. he doesn't want to even ask the public. but what they think about these governments. therefore, these doing what every can you know that the strength is a writing a correlation and not to allow and you're election to be comp. and, and this is the reason why is giving away all these really interest to the extreme right, to reinforce so, so with these on government. and this is the, the reason why so many people we go out to demonstrate against this government. because they see that their policy is not the right policy for the state of phase, whether it's the rightful policy for the past and within the hour it needs completion of the later when in president is claimed, the western sanctions mechanism is ineffective and empty as old 12 packages have
10:17 pm
a limits of impact on the russian economy. the countries g. d declined by 3.6 percent in 2023 outpacing both the e u and u. s. according to official figures and economics long since some european countries are a testament to the serious domestic challenges they face are to contribute to rachel most and brings us more on that story. turns out that the wes team unity is really sticking together just like drowning victims then 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
10:18 pm
spiked when europe decided to slack financial sanctions and constraints on its own . cheap gas supplier rough uh, but hey, there's an obvious solution for europeans looking for more reasonable cost of living. so i'm not exactly current on the prices, but here's what it cost to moscow. 647 roubles. so that is exactly 7 dollars, 7 dollars and 5 cents. i think in for that we got to cheeseburgers large fries, large colla a coke knock off and a piece of chocolate cake. so we weren't guessing what this would cost. however many, here's something i'd say it's buy groceries and we didn't pay any sense of the cost as 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 matters,
10:19 pm
which is you thought corruption. if you take people standard of living and you tank is the truth 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 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. anyway, right. of course we're not 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 2022, a congress from engaged. the russian economy is collapsing. boot is to get the money, but he can hardly spend it. and time is not working for russia,
10:20 pm
it is working against russia. nobody wants to invest in bullshit 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. gates. well, 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.
10:21 pm
contrast all that with what russian president vladimir putin has been saying about russia's economy, maybe schools last year was economic growth was higher than expected. precious gdp increased 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 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. 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
10:22 pm
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 here's 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 tipped off. the british prime minister though
10:23 pm
is that then moving right down the road is yeah, he has a full cross journey at the confirmation of recession exposed as a government, as a prime minister, completely out of touch with the realities on the grounds. a government that for too long has worked on at the moment failure with complacency, content to be the manages of decline, which he soon 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. he claims he doesn't want to take us back to square one. but we are going backwards of the prime ministers claims our ins foxes. oh, come on now. no need to worry. the experts have it all under control. over at the
10:24 pm
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 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's according 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 for venturing president, i was also waiting on germany struggling economy, emphasizing the fact that burning is to blame for any of us and said fox a initially probably to the current policy of the income and authorities is doing enormous damage to the future of the german economy. it can exist and develop for
10:25 pm
a long time and there will be no catastrophe here. the fundamentals of the german and european economies are very serious, solid and deep. but there is a loss of competitiveness due to the fact that it was built on relatively. i would like to emphasize this relatively cheap russian energy resources. although even when they were relatively cheap, they still said that it was too expensive and everyone followed by various global means to lower the cost of our energy resources. all sorts of environmental taxes were invented. now it is $300.00 per 1000 cubic meters and more. but i repeat, it's not us. they always say russia is not giving. russia is restricting resources . we are not restricting anything. we give everything. the turks have turned out to be the most reliable partners. i have already said this, and i want to repeat it. one line of the gas pipeline is still working through ukraine, but there is another one that the ukrainian side has closed, not us. they closed it. although what is the point of closing it? they get money from us for transit. strange as it may sound an aggressive,
10:26 pm
but even an aggressive money does not smell the cash in money for transit. not many people talk about it. did they get money from gas problem? they do. what's the problem with opening a 2nd line for germany? what are they accusing us of? as the recession looms large of a year of mass protest sweeping the continental farm us the denouncing the stifling agricultural policies. hundreds of farmers flock, tv, teddy and capital in protest. that's as great farm as drove their tractors through one of these largest one produces cities loudly proclaiming that the industry is dead. large scale demonstration also took place in germany's frankfort protest as carried to post as demanding that the ease policies are against the people. yes. what we heard from those at the rallies. federal government got it. if we'd have to feed the world, then why should we have bonded production? these are the answers they should give us. there is,
10:27 pm
it is honest at the damage is this country demo, free of the here to reclaim our rights, because we will not be unemployed and to given officers who will be here. our politicians must understand this way here, and we will not leave those other weeks. biggest stories head to our website. archie, dot com for more news coverage and analysis. i my day, shall i josh bye for now. the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic. isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills and then it just has a chosen few. fractured images presented to this,
