any illiteracy and remained a dark stain on the refutation of the british empire. the breaking news in our t international as we receive a transcript of the audio from are station between high ranking german military offices, discussing their plans to bomb the crime in bridge. and how to do everything possible to keep trans flush rolls out of it. we will bring you all the highlights of this bombshell lead later in the school, attend. dozens of them have bullets in that had not lived in the sky to today. and people, if there was a confusions and kind of follow, sends you an invoice, slammed the world bodies. and actually i know the what he calls and outrages in mexico of thousands. it comes at least 112 where proportionately killed by the i d f while they were rushing for humanitarian aid. also i had pharmacy that the one

support or nothing else. they what housing does to supplies, that's going to loss them. 11 thing is clear, the on the police any way. and we report from nova in india with tensions a high as for testing farm has refused to compromise on demands for a minimum support prize. will there from the we alive to you from? must go. this is our to international. i'm nationwide. josh, with the top stories. the salva will start with breaking news. the german army has considered a strike on the crime in bridge that's according to a nicht 40 minutes conversation between high ranking german military lead us. let's take a listen. and i came to the conclusion that there are 2 interesting targets,

the bridge in the east, in the ammunition depots above the bridge. and the east is hard to reach. it's a rather small target, but the torres can do it. the emulation depos can also be hit if we consider the bridge, i don't think taurus is enough and we need to have an idea of how it might work. and for that we need satellite data. i don't know if we can train the ukrainians for such a task in a short time and we're talking about a month. what would a tourist attack on the bridge look like? from an operational perspective, i can't estimate how quickly the ukrainians will be able to learn how to plan such an action and how quickly integration will occur. but since we're talking about the bridge and military buses, i understand that they want to get them as soon as possible. the full transcript of the audio conversation also contains a discussion on how to avoid being a part of the conflict and how to do everything possible to keep trans flush rolls out of it. the officers also refer to the long time involvement of the us and u. k in the ukrainian conflict will bring you all the details on this topic later

on in the bulletin. the later slick comes, as we see outrage among fellow native politicians after the german chancellor spilled the beans that britain in front of helping ukraine launch their long range missiles at the russians. life shall set, it will not allow is military to do the same spark and even more criticism from european allies. the soldiers comments are wrong, irresponsible, and a step in the face to allies. we have a choice either will give you credit with needs, or we will see more bloodshed and a complete failure of the parents. this is a flagrant abuse of intelligence deliberately designed to distract from germany's reluctance to arm ukraine with its own long range missile system. this will no doubt be used by russia to racket up the escalator letter, and the 5 german soldiers must have new points and in no place be linked to targets that the tower system reaches. this is a very far reaching weapon,

and what is being done on the part of the british and french in terms of target control and target control assistance cannot be done in germany. john slo, charles has been pushing back calls to arm. ukraine was german made taras missiles for months. he says, such weapons could be used like you have to hit targets as far away as must go. and charles doesn't want any germans to be involved. on february 29th, he again stressed that burly and so forth. yeah, by all means, but will not condone having its own or nato a troops there. the steps. ok, now we are providing ukraine with economic and humanitarian support. as well as with the delivery of weapons. we aimed to prevent the support from escalating the conflict into a war between russia and nato. there will be no german or nato soldiers on ukrainian territory as this would suggest this danger. and i stand by that without any changes escalade. so i'm just curious and this news just in our t has receive

a transcript of the audio conversation between high ranking bone as well offices discussing how the we're going to bump the crime in bridge. how to do everything possible to keep trans flush rolls out of it. the office has also referred to the long time involvement of the us and u. k. and the ukranian conflict. we will bring you more details as they emerge now, or the french president's was also about his words and statements that the department of western truths the frame cannot be ruled out. and none of them across said that or is, was a quote weighed and measured. however, public sentiment in both france and germany as strongly against buckroe and speech according to the latest, both german respondents all the while many a days such a move with only 13 percent in favor. the number is all very similar in france itself, where local show little advertised for the presidents, controversial idea, 68 percent of french respondents called a totally bad proposal,

less than one 3rd that they would support such a move. we also got reaction from international consulting rasmussen. who says president, my problems liked the statements, have left him at odds with his own people. and since he had a fairly okay, relationship of food and over the years, it's uh, it's interesting that it's shifted so far in this direction. his, his population does not support this at all with almost 2 thirds of 3 fourths against the same. so it's not improving his popularity, which is very much in the lower portions as it is and, and it's my view, it's a very for statement. i know he's trying to double down on it and say that he thought through this, but it's clearly not strong thought through and it's barely poorly placed and definitely does not have the support of other nato members as well. so you're seeing a division within nato itself. the current here, very dangerous,

remarking and potential escalation, are close by macro many had bullets in their heads, that's according to the pulse thing and you and i'm boss of those comments on the latest masking of guidance. a place 112 reports and the died with over 760 others wounded. after an idea of assault on a crowd that was rushing for foot supplies in gaza city on thursday. this, i'm setting footage on your screen shows, victims. survivors also tried to help the wounded, so they could be tracing to me about hospitals and make shift cards. all this thing and official save and death toll is expected to rise. as many people remain in critical condition. more than $1000.00 ac customer report to be at the scene during the incident, the policy and boy to the un has criticize the world's body for failing to condemn the latest coming of thousands. so according to the information that we have,

dozens of them have bullets in that head. it's not like, you know, fighting in the sky to let us today and people, if there was a confusions and class, it was intentionally thought of getting and killing this out today. just, you know, massacre is a testimony to the fact that as long as the security concept is better lies and vito's cast it, then it is costing the palestinian people their lives. some of those who were lucky to provide shared their emotional recollections in the aftermath of the devastating attack we were on our sheets street and certainly tank stored us. there were the parcels packed with 8 people who don't have food. look, flour and aid headed to the sea. it was chaos. there were crowds of people, but the occupation kept fire in with us. there were so many martyrs and casualties . i am one of the wounded. i was on our sheet street. we were there from 7 in the

morning in order to get food for our children. they elias, they said, we rotate, but we paid for that side without blood. the my nephews went there to bring flower, but the fired on them were under siege to be on us remedy on his coming soon. people should look at us pdfs. these rarely military has released this voltage all the incident on your screen. it appears to show a huge crowd surrounding a humanitarian aid convoys. the idea of claim that its troops opened fire on a small group that saw it. so as a threats, while they kinda confirm the death toll. these riley is also claimed that people were killed by us, the pete of 8 seekers themselves. however, the president of columbia has gone pad the market, got to the whole of calls and says this country is suspending. the purchase of is running weapons more than $100.00 palestinians who were begging for food

were murdered by netanyahu. this is called genocide, and it reminds us of the whole costs, even if some global powers do not like to recognize that the world's most blog and that's on yahoo, colombia is suspending all purchases of weapons from israel. meanwhile, washington has reported the block, the new one statement on the left to massacre. this comes as us congress debates, sending further military age to israel for testers in washington. a few areas and of a key is dependent on shape of complicity in a general side of paula students the . 6 this is one of the worst crimes against humanity we've ever seen. i think this, there is

a direct comparison here to the whole of costs, and that it's uh, this sort of zion, this apartment. it says state charity. and you know, i don't think the irony, uh, could be any more palpable. i, i would hope that uh, the language escalates to match the power in brutality being carried out by the state of israel. and i would like to see the entire world unite. and using such a language and directly comparing it to the whole it costs every single time. it's brought up biting this with a phone call. let's be clear about that. you can pick up the phone, call that yahoo and say stop it and know none. yahoo says no button says, would you want to be or with the united states of america? it's but that doesn't happen, right? he has funding the genocide and nothing. once i get back to breaking news now,

the german army has considered a stripe on the crimean bridge. that's according to of leaked 40 minutes conversation between high ranking german military need of that 2nd listen. and i came to the conclusion that there are 2 interesting targets the bridge in the east and the munition depos above the bridge. and the east is hard to reach. it's a rather small target, but the torres can do it. the munition depos can also be hit if we consider the bridge, i don't think taurus is enough and we need to have an idea of how it might work. and for that we need satellite data. i don't know if we can train the ukrainians for such a task in a short time and we're talking about a month. what would a tourist attack on the bridge look like? from an operational perspective, i can't estimate how quickly the ukrainians will be able to learn how to plan such an action and how quickly integration will occur. but since we're talking about the bridge and military buses, i understand that they want to get them as soon as possible to discuss this

development, i am now joined live in the studio by our t correspondents. they've sweeney and for my us offer cisco bene, thank you both for making the time to be in the studio with me today. steve, i'll start with you with these bombshell statements. won't germany have to provide some justification? after all, this is a discussion about an attack. so, i mean, these are quite shocking revelations that have the transcript that we've, we've just heard and that we say now that jim and uh, talk minute to process have discussed how to attack and not just the time, but destroy the climbing and bridge. this of course, has to be a frequent target for ukraine unexpected. now they describe this as a target toll strategic and military importance. but obviously the issue then is, when does this become a direct involvement in view quite and conflict visit something that germany has consistently denied that talking about. now, the supply of the tours miss all this is a long range missile and how that this can be used to talk. i'm you,

mission dumps as well as the, the crime in prison out of show c. german charles was coming to fire from british and pays just recently over his reluctance a to supply the the told us missile. and they were criticizing him for actually blowing the cover all of a giving away intelligent sequence. now this was alicia codes, the one of the a tory m p on to buy is that what both of these are linked to the potential military intelligence. so cost germany has a we'll have to somehow come up with some justification for what we have a now. and if he comes to mind back to last year about the german defense minister was talking, of course, about some english. and she made an off the cuff statement saying that germany is a rule with russia, and of course that was all booked very, very quickly. so this isn't a very interesting developing gearhart. it doesn't matter. we need to ensure

that from the very beginning, there was no mention that would make us part of the conflict. i am exaggerating a bit. but if we tell them minister now that we plan meetings and will drive by car from poland, so that no one notices that's already participation and we won't do that to but so of course the they, we have it from the host is mile, say the german talk minute creeper, also looking at ways ready to cover it all and make sure that they're not directly linked. that there is no suggestion with nothing. can fax it back to them, but the blame can be pinned on then for being involved in the conflict. this is quite interesting. let me quickly turn to you scott. it turns out my chronicles, right about sending trips to you pray and is a nato allies of just putting on a poker face. is that how you judge the situation by judge this is the declaration of war preparation for a declaration of war by a bunch of incompetent foods in france and germany and these nato countries. this

is not aiding and abetting any ukrainian zelinski operation. this is pre planning for a war, a declaration of war against russia. that's what an attack on the crime in bridge would be. this is what the germans are lying about when they say uh through schultz . oh no, they will not be going to bog and russia. it's a lie. they're preparing to go to war, and they've been caught red handed. so russia should send, of course, it's un investor in the best media to the united nations to say, be advised. we are now being threatened with war by germany were being threatened by war with france and make it known to the world. the russia will respond with an absolute defense of its people, its territory, and its infrastructure that could result in not only world war 3, but the annihilation of germany and every german military person and every french in nato and british and american person that participates in the declaration of war against russia. this is not something that russia is going to play with nato and

france. and germany thinks that they're playing some sort of a puppet theater. they're not, they're playing deadly games. and i think their own people have been betrayed by germany. so many times, 1st, allowing the destruction to the north stream pipeline. and now preparing to go to war. that wouldn't highlight most of the population of germany. so although russia doesn't want that, this is the inevitability of what an attack on the try. me and bridge would result in steve, we understand that the german officers were discussing the possible loopholes needed to avoid becoming directly involved in the conflict. what all the while they spoken about of lot of technical information about how the tourist miss all could be uh, could be 5. i've spoken about the satellite imagery that they, that they can take and how that can be processed. but it would need to be processed in the bhutto goodman air force base. and they've kind of spoken about how they could get technicians will specialist to not face the process,

not information on this information gives the possibility of a target of, of accuracy of around 3 meters. so this is what we think that was a level of information, but also talking about speaking to the, the brits on the ground and how that they've managed to adapt to mount. so the storm shadow is a pretty strong right. long range missile can be found and they also have mentioned during the conversation, but there were lots of people on the problem with the american, not since in civilian clothing, implying that there is an official us presence perhaps on the ground. so they've spoken about how to disassociate themselves with this and to avoid the accusation of dynamic conflict. so they're looking at these lines of communication, not directly with the uh, the, the german ad fulsome the german military. but with the manufacturer of the tours miss. all that can perhaps and that type the german army. i step away from these,

these obligations and these accusations, so they're very speaking i've spoken about very clear terms that they can't be associated with the, with this directive over with the tourist missile. scott, instead of this all feels like a whole scene from a double 7 movies except it is happening sort of in real time with all the tapes that when listening to one scot, this one is for you what all the chances that governments of other european countries um, are discussed in similar issues behind tools, those but stating that they do not intend to participate directly in the conflict. i think they're the victim of their own lives and they're, they believe their own lives. and they think that they have some sort of hypnotic charm, that whatever words flatulent lee come out of from a crown, or schultz or re see shack, or going to be breed in like perfume, by russia, and somehow hypnotize them into acquiescence. and i think the opposite is true. this is a declaration of war preparation to declare war. and it should also be acknowledged

that the americans are involved when, when americans special operations, people are c, i a, are, are recorded on the ground. this is an american participation, so russia is presenting evidence and i think it will have it in the united nation soon. that this destruction of the cry me embrace that. they're planning, i is, is not only a foolish mistake, but it's quite ironic, especially to me is a military officer. his grandfather fought against the germans in world war 2. that the germans don't seem to have lot learned or less than they're backing the same nazis and ukraine that they backed and world war 2. they lost that war miserably. they were humiliated as a nation. and perhaps they haven't been humiliated enough, and they're not seeming to adapt to the world's reality that russia is not going to be intimidated or threatened by nato. and it's not going to pull back. it's going to win the conflict in ukraine. and if they try an apple 5 by destroying the crime in bridge or any other infrastructure, it will only result in the annihilation of germany and france. but i think this is

a time for russia to make direct appeals to the people of, of europe, to the people of france and germany, and say, your leaders are preparing to go to war to secure their own political positions. you need to remove them before they start something you can, and that's quite interesting. i'm going to come back to use steve about the loopholes to avoid and the offices that were directly involved. did you want to talk as to that, that part of guess what? i think we've, you know, as, as we mentioned that there's this attempt to disassociate themselves from direct conflict in a, sorry, direct involvement in the conflict. and they're talking about those lines of communication with the, the manufacturer as all other than the gym and on forces themselves. but in terms of the broad conflict, will this change anything on the ground? well, of course you crating, as we know is, is losing ground. it's a failed counter offensive is now seeing them seeing the sucking of so loosely.

this is the head of the on forces, his replacement, and now the full of, of the, of cohen and other areas along the front line. now we've heard of course the rhetoric from european leaders of emmanuel macro and the french president was talking about nato troops on the ground. we've heard similar voices from the canadian government saying that we will be prepared to put that troops on the ground in ukraine under certain circumstances, nato installs a boat as kind of distance and so from, from those remarks. so that doesn't seem to be a lot of unity amongst the amongst the west and leaders, but this really is about saving face for germany. i think it's not about a ukrainian victory. i think there's now acceptance amongst most of the western leaders on the, even the west media that ukraine, a tunnel within this conflict. and this is ready to do with a saving phase amongst its western allies. exactly. it won't change the course of

the war. that's why we don't want to hand them all over and not all at the same time. maybe 50 in the 1st trench, then maybe there will be another transfer of 50 missiles. that's perfectly understandable, but it's all big politics. i'm guessing what's really behind it. i have learned from my french and british colleagues that in fact, with the storm shadow in scout, it is the same as with the winchester rifles. they may ask, why should we supply the next batch of missiles? because we have already supplied them? let germany do it now. perhaps mister foster has something to say on this subject. yep. so it was, we've heard that this is the talk about the, the, the talking about, the french scout miss all the prestige, a storm shuddering missile. and of course, that has been this route between those 3 nations about the supply of the long range weapons on that commitment. a cheap right that is quite interesting. scott, so towels top us through the wider implication of all of this if, if, well, i think this really begins to stabilize the european nato leadership. this is going

to terrify schultz in the kron and soon act in the demented or full bite. and they are going to begin coming a part of the scene. so russia really can quicken that disintegration by animating and energizing its rhetoric and making direct confrontational presentations that the united nations and elsewhere with the language of war. and with a direct confrontation in finger pointing, you're a liar, germany, you're a liar schultz. you are preparing for war and we found it. and your people need to know about this. and we're communicating directly to the german people in your leaders are so terrified about losing their political positions. they're trying to trigger a war. and i think very soon you could see the overflow of shelves to overdraw them across the over throw biden. because no one in europe wants this, 70 percent of the people were against a problem in france because of his rhetoric. these people are in fantasy world. but the fact is they're also going to do a multi pronged attack. they're going to send

a naval drones against the bridge and missiles. they're also going to do some other attacks against the russian, a areas of the net skill, a gone skinned elsewhere. they are trying to force russia into a political settlement. and they think that they can do it by amplifying the fire power of their attacks upon russian infrastructure. and instead, it's only going to backfire because russia not only can defend the bridge, but it can inoculate every single ukrainian nato personnel or vehicle that is coming in to be used against them. and they need to really prepare to do that. russia can use this as a spring board to accelerate and intensify its own military and political and information momentum, and communicate it to the united nations. this is no longer about ukraine. this is about road leaders in these european nations preparing to go to war with russia at the same to save their own political lives. we're going to have to leave it there

for now. thank you so much for my us officer scott bennett, and our to correspond to steve sweeney. thank you so much for this great conversation. it was lovely to have you in a studio. the hell is ready. economy is taking a nose dive for the 1st time in years i made a re record high government spending on the war and gowns out the pockets of ordinary is rallies are being hit hard as on middle east b, which is murray up the notion of reports wars are expensive, these really offensive engage them is not an exception in january bank of a 0 estimate to the 3 months of fighting against him. of course, these really national economy, about $60000000000.00 making are and source the most expensive military campaign in the country's history. and the war has raised on for another 2 months since that's right for to us published. government spending is skyrocketing, not only to pay for bullets and bonds,

but also for repairing civilian infrastructure, damaged and have mass attacks, supporting tens of thousands of executives from 0 south hall compensations to disrupt it is really business. at the same time, revenues a dropping 2023 reports came in at around 3 and a half $1000000000.00 is below forecast with a record number of reserve is recruited in the beginning of the war, around 300000 people. the country last around 8 percent of its word for us as well as d. d. p. drops by almost 20 percent on an annualized basis compared to the july to september, quarter. israel's economy, the number of se is suffering, one of its worst average declines. but you will not hear that from the country's leadership, and it's on your own smokers rather than coming up with a message to the public. we are in crisis. no, they said we have a lot of money and we have the rose best economy. as a result, we are not functioning in crisis mode. the way one would expect the leadership,

the are particularly the all economic leadership is not irresponsible. off to the u. s. rating agency moody's lawyer, it is rarely credits rating and downgraded outlook from stable to negative. israel's finance ministers landed as lacking serious economic arguments. movies denouncement on a downgrade does not include c. c cannot make arguments and it's entirely a political manifesto based on the pessimistic. and i found a geopolitical view, which reflects a lack of confidence and these real security and national resilience, as well as in about and lack of confidence in the right justice of its past, in the face of the enemies. the development sector has found itself among the most affected with construction size across the country stain frozen. after around $150000.00 palestinians. the workers from the west bank were blocks from entering israel and move that many x rays find a rational. this is really a really,

really dramatic issue. on one hand, you do not lead the posting has come work here because people are worried about having 1st thing in the states. on the other hand, if the 1st thing is do not work, they don't, they lose their live you. so this is, it's very explosive, when people are not working, they sit at home that devastated that missed that. that 3rd spot at the same time is really construction side such as down the road from my house. they're just frozen. so it's an interest for israel and the palestinians to allow posting is to come into as well and work the state has been able to soften the blow for the public with subsidies, but it's might start changing. first date is the last day before gasoline prices all across a israel will go up already at the maximum, around 10. the last 20 months, usually subsidized by the finance ministry. prices were kept stone last year,

but due to war time, budget codes know most states support. the new price is set at $7.00 and a half seconds, which is more than $2.00 per liter. and that is just one of the examples of how the war in guys has said the average has riley's pocket. people noticed they now spend more on essential goods and services than before the war, even though they can still afford it due to israel's highest standard of living. the city market is busy and crowded with fears and concerns feel there. people don't really know to say yes, but the button is like in a bad, you know, everyone is going to send it out so everything's gonna be unbearable. but people don't seem to say, you know, to know to service things like, like normal and revise things and that and stuff. but i, you know, the politics going to, um to, and i think a lot of people struggling because they are in.
