and i don't know why the right has would want to respond to something that is so obvious. and as an american yourself, what's your prediction for the upcoming election given find in sporting approval, racing again, i think, i think is a very tough slog or that, i mean, yes, he's been present for 4 years. but america has been unfortunate. decline for 4 years. we've had, it's a twice inflation and immigration, and this is very bad. and under trump, that presidency, inflation was very low, and then the regression is very low. and this is what it's helped americans greatly . and to be quite honest with you, we have peace in the world right now. we do not have peace. and again, we should start talking, let's get peace, a chance we have some, at least, perhaps in the ukraine. this rolled out of control. we need to slow down and understand what we're doing and hopefully, you know, hopefully america i think has kind of broken up and we might want to revisit the past president up city. i love that. let's give peace a chance. and, and final question, before we go, what do you be watching the debate tonight?

i'm a political junkie. i love this stuff. and again, i can't wait to see what the boat presents have to say, but the challenge, i'll tell you that. and the argument was to read that, trump say, explain yourself, you know, you don't debate the guy, just tell me why you get you thinking in the 4 years. i would love to hear what he said about that. thank you so much for talking to us today. i really appreciate your time. we're talking to dr. john debowski, washington pain sent us the many thanks. thank you for the time and thanks to you for joining us here on the let's see, international, we always appreciate your company. we're back with plenty of all in just under 30 minutes. see them of the, everybody on bins one in for rick sanchez here are just some of the stories we're talking about today a day like no other ukrainian forces strikes civilian areas of crimea with the power of american weaponry. so what does it mean?

we'll break it down for you. this is direct impact the and we begin today in southern russia where ukraine launch stripes, sunday targeting the city of service. though for at least 4 people were killed, including 2 children over a $150.00 people were left injured. eye witnesses managed to record the moment when this showing 1st took place. many people simply enjoying the end of their weekend. you can listen as they recount the moments of the attack. one of the highest i'm about am, i was relaxing at a result when i had an explosion that a 2nd explosion understood something, flew into the building from the sky. i went out into the balcony to see what was going on. everything was covered in smoke. people were screaming, i saw something full into the building. it was about the size of a bed. people were shouting your fire,

your fire from all the neighboring buildings from the residential complex. people run with everything they could to put out the flames. go into the we were at a hotel, we heard a siren and immediately began to gather. we ran for cover into a room. we had to run a long way. we heard the rumbles and then ran under a beam for protection. there is a part of this story that's so important to us as americans, because russian defense officials say those strikes were carried out using american attack him as missiles. it can only be operated by us experts. a report in the all the flight coordinates need to be input by american specialists using american intelligence. let's bring them and have a chance to discuss this with us. manila, thanks for being here. so 1st of all, what's your take on this american missiles used over the weekend in crimea, as we mentioned before, multiple deaths over a 150 injuries to children. dad. where is the outrage from us media here? yeah, ben. what can you say except what a horrible tragic incident? right?

i mean there, there's no outrage, i would say, because the crimean peninsula has been part of the russian federation for about 10 years now. so western media outlets lack of coverage on the strike, tells you a couple of things. one, i would say this is a tacit admission that crimea is in fact, russian territory for as much as the west does not want to recognize the succession vote some you know, a decade ago. the media silence on this tells you that, pardon me, a is russian number 2. they actually viewed crime in as ukrainians the this will create a moral dilemma for them in that ukraine is killing ukrainian citizens like they were doing and don death. so despite key of saying, you know, re taking every inch of ukrainian soil back to it's early to thousands borders are, are part of the broader goal. 40 of the fact that they are willing to kill innocent

civilians in crimea actually underscores the whole reason. those cry me and wanted to feed in the 1st place then. yeah, i, i hear you when you say that and there is a dichotomy here, right? because certainly when you're talking about the fact that as you said, what we've been hearing now since 2014 is that crime media was legally annexed by russia. it's actually ukrainian, and the ukrainians are really want to go was all of a collection. and it was a fake referendum and they didn't really want to lead life ukraine. and yet, these weren't military targets that were shelby's work, military installations that were hit, these are people who are on a beach who are getting hit during the showing and then also to your point as well . if this is in fact still ukrainians and it's still ukraine, you showed your own people. and so that's why i guess nobody really wants to talk about this story at all. but shift over though for 2nd here to the other war that the raging of course is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu, right? he seems to be contradicted the white house every week. i, there's a different back and forth here, but talking to reporters on sunday,

netanyahu said that there was no in didn't site for the boring casa, and the wording here is interesting, until her moss is completely wiped out exactly what that means. we'll talk about that in a 2nd. it's a surprise though, to bite in the ministration officials. in recent days they said that netanyahu and his aids had reiterated their support for a proposal, even a ceasefire agreement possibly at some point. well, now that yahoo was wanting that 11 on more could be next. listen to this. i sure love i've seen, gentlemen come out, but how much will that be staying intensive phase of the world's most is about to and then after the end of the incentive phase, we will have the option of transferred part of the forces to the north. and we will do that 1st and foremost, for defense, i purposes secondly to return our residence home. if we can, we will do this in a political way. if not, we'll do it in a different way, but they're not willing to stop to work. indeed from us, but the tact i am prepared to make a partial deal, so it will return to us some of the people issue. but we are committed to

continuing the war after a pause in order to complete the goal of eliminating months. i mean the, so a couple of things are, 1st of all, how do they eliminate come us when you listen to what the israelis are saying, what and then you know, who says they seem to refer to every adult age male in gaza as part of from us, at least they do every time there is a bombing right? when they give you death, tolls and death counts which rarely happen when they do. they always list every male who was killed as being a militant or part of from us. so just ultimately wiping out from off mean you wipe out every adult age male and gaza of god. what a horrific thing to imagine. then that bet you just automatically sweep up whole entire populations into this one narrative into this one descriptor. but of course, anybody that is a reasonable sound mind would know that that is just not the case, but not. i mean, for the same reason that you don't go to afghanistan and say every, you know, male,

that's age, 131415 years old. what they would call of military fighting age? is a taliban come back? right? but words the terrorist coming, they didn't do that, right? so those are the tactic as you know right now, right now, it gives you the numbers out of afghanistan in the rack for years. every time any adult age male was killed, they would say they're an enemy combatant. that's all we refer to that right now is real calls with my boss, right? but we just say there and search it during and to be combat. and i feel like israel's actually learned this from u. s. foreign policy. oh, well, absolutely. i mean, but, but, but let's, let's be clear. i don't think the us is actually in charge of what's happening right now in gaza. i mean, just this weekend you'll have go on showed up here in washington dc. um, no, no fanfare out on the streets. of course. um, but your go on is not here to ask for anything bad. he's here to make demands and to notify us officials of israel's plans,

right. which i would say at this point seems to be that of expanding the conflict into southern 11 on which at that point, i guess you're going to say all lebanese males age 15 and over our enemy combatants as well. and there has bola, you know, but this expansion then it can get very dicey. given that just this weekend. french officials have actually indicated that they will assist the lebanese armed forces, the l. a. f in defending the borders of web or not. now this is not to say that france will back his ball law rather sending troops in a to assist official government forces of lebanon and anonymous. french official, actually speaking to uh, breaking defense dot com. this weekend said that the point government forces to the border could actually tap down the tensions there because they say neither israel nor has bowl. i want to trigger this wider conflict by killing government forces.

now that was a quote. so france could actually spoil israel's designs and expanding this war into 11 on. but then that puts the us in a sticky situation given, you know, france is america's oldest allied. but if we're gonna continue to apply the u. s. rules of who an enemy combatant is on the battlefield. well, this is a, i would say the start of world war 3 bad it's, it's, it does not bode well. it all, we're gonna talk country much more of what's happening with israel and gaza as well . uh, how much is it coming up in the next segment before you go them and then what i want to talk about this other story, cuz you and i work together now for 10 years, we're talking about this before the show started right? there are few stories that are more up our alley than this one. us secretary said anthony, blinking is announcing a new state department partnership with youtube music. oh yes. according to a press release, it's all part of an effort to further the united states is elevated commitment to

use music to promote peace and democracy. again, you can make this stuff up promoting democracy through music. manila, as i said, we've talked about this kind of stuff for years. this is clearly just a form or a form. it's just blatant propaganda, but it ties into this democracy. if the music please define a. well 1st man, i gotta ask, is this music plan like a bunch of clips, a blinking playing guitar, maybe from his so called you know, in prompt to concert in tea of last month. just kidding. i hope, i hope and pray to god about. uh i forgot that he is uh uh would be one of the musician, but go ahead. yeah. maybe he was getting a contract then i mean to be fair. condi rice. as we recall, the bush era secretary of state is a classical pianists and has also displayed her skills before the press pool. but, but seriously, this is another exercise in american soft power. the state department long before

tony blink and actually said, put in there actually had pre existing music diplomacy programs in place. harnessing american musicians from every genre to travel around the world, travel abroad, engaged directly with the locals. think of it as sort of a goodwill ambassador role, but with guitars on the surface level, i think this is a wonderful initiative because music really is the great unifier. it transcends language, borders, culture, culture is political ideology. but when it's examined in the current context of all the geopolitical hotspots around the world, this really serves as an attempt to repair america's ugly image overseas as the purveyor of war and destruction. and you can bet that youtube and its parent company, alphabet, who obviously owns google. sure. will aid the state department's efforts to advance this goal. but at the end of the way, if you ask if you have any random. yeah,

many ben or any right half down or any north korean if they prefer to have leading ga, ga, giving them a free concert or to have the us stop bombing them through proxies or have the us and sanctions against their countries which are driving their people the famine, yeah, i can guarantee you, they will always pick the ladder. i think you're much nicer about it than i would be. i see it much less about the kind of music that goes out and much more about what's not allowed to go out. because as soon as a government entity, like the state department does a deal with youtube music, they're basically saying we're going to give you enough money to let you, let us control what's allowed on this plot. yeah, you have happened all over the place, especially which i'm going to be asked me blinking as a week ago that all year around the 247. but i bet you will be middle and thanks for being here. appreciate it. you got it. all right, when we come back, we're going to talk to someone who has been on the ground covering the hers and gaza shifting back to that story. it's

a pretty incredible one. we're going to hear about her experience and we're also going to get her take on the current tensions breaking out on the northern borders of israel right now. stay tuned. will be right back the by the middle of the 19th century, practically the whole of india had been under the rule of the british and by the colonial authorities, had imposed that heavy depth bringing the people into poverty ex, 40 natural resources. and moreover, these authorities absolutely had no consideration for the physicians of the local population, treating them like 2nd class citizen. the british were showing signs of disrespect

even to those and cooperated with them. the facts of ignoring the religious beliefs of the hindus let them use nails as the boys mercenary soldiers serving under the british ground. 3000000000 began on the 10th of may 1857 in the garrison town of may river, north of india, in the form of a mute. the rebels quickly took over ellis, that he roy. resistance of the indian people lasted for one and a half years. however, the forces were not equal. the colonial authorities dealt with the rebels, cruel, late fee and slaves. the boys were tied to the mouth of the cannon and were shot right through their bodies for the amusement of the public. this type of execution was called the devil's with the obliteration of them you may result in the death of 800000 inhabitants of indians. however, the british empire never broke the free spirit of the indians and their will will resist the

and welcome back to direct impact on been swan in for rick sanchez. we want to go back to the story we were talking about in the previous segment, talking about israel's more on garza and how it continues to spread across the region. so we do that we're bringing in. got you, francis. she is a lovely is journalist and a veteran war correspondent who was reported from cause us syria, iraq and human. she's currently the host of the west asia pop host of india is w i o in news and she joins us now. got to thank you so much for being here. thank you for having me then a. so let's talk 1st of all about what's happening in the middle east right now. it's such a massive story and it's very complex, much more complex. i would argue that most people in the west and certainly in the united states think that it is, it's not just about gaza. but let's talk 1st of all about israel's northern border breakdown for us what's been happening in the past week or so between israel and his bowler. who do we see a wrap up with the conflict? there may be even open war between those 2 parties as well and everything. now

we're in monks number 8 of this ongoing massacre and the besieged, devise a strip of ta this time. now the way we are like looking at the news and breaking news is very different. and had that warning from israel come in the 1st month, we would have been surprised or really attentive or worried and it actually did then. it is not the 1st time that israel warns or threatens that it would bump 11 on or it would slots and be route. we have seen these kinds of threats from all kinds of officials of his really official since day one is the beginning of this started data to uh, from the 11 on, has opened or has been law named it as such. so it is not new for us here and other non to listen to threats coming from the is read the side. and this is not where we actually get the news. the amount of the turns that hezbollah has proven whether

it's in the past 8 months or in the past, decades in this war, with the occupation with the is really occupational southern doesn't on. and also on different occasions and the conflicts at 11 on we don't really look at the threat that comes from is the draperies we know exactly to the parents, but the lebanese resilience and resistance has so okay, these are, these would love to floss and aid with this was there a threat to us, 5040 years and even 50 years ago as lebanese people. it, there's nothing you, what is new is that for, it's for a change. our people today have the ability to say, if you strike us, we would strike you. if you strike over the airports, we have the ability of the capacity to reciprocate just equally as destructive is. let me ask you though, is that, is that true? 101011. on strike back with the same kind of for all city that is real,

construct them. if we look back at the past 8 months, then it's actually very different and really unprecedented. and in terms of military exchange between hezbollah and the is raves, the amount of is really supplements that have been blocked in, in the northern area is new. the amount of is really sectors that have flipped there. so they're really good. second, this is new. the precision of the targets, the amount of technology and a i, and the actual failure of the item. them all these are unprecedented and that the war and then that's drunk. and also what's happened thought speak with tech with which is new in the latest. and it's making everybody ask once again about 11 on and the northern is really fun, is that there was strong, but it's released by as well as episode one. it's not on the everything and the

strong for good showed they have a tool that is to be capable of flying over haifa, locating targets very important and strategic targets and sitting and coming back safely without being intercepted. this shows on question of the, the ability to strike and has well, uh and it's boss and, and it's this, let's talk about this portfolio. yeah. it's, uh, it's identity is it never does this kind of bluffing in, in war that's right. uh. and on the contrary is really do it. so if i had the bed before everything is really said they will strike made with that'd be able to unit by now let me yeah. any other questions? those kinds of entities? yeah. in terms of credibility but, but the northern border of israel isn't just a credibility issue with has bola, it also could also bring iran into this complex as well. correct? ok. well this is, this is one of the many points while we're all trying to analyze, okay, will it be a full blown or, or not run?

we say it's not the 1st time that these really dressing us and there's nothing new in that. yep. to what scan to is really is actually do. what can they actually when they couldn't even remember they'd come us in the besieged drip that they control even the amount of calorie intake boot capital. i'm talking about the extent today says this moment 10 minutes ago there was breaking news that the resistance inside because i was able to attack or to but it's on the 8th or to to supplicate. and we're talking about hezbollah. hezbollah is invalid city. i think it says the strongest military group and the west and the west asia. this has been proven in the seed in war. this has been proven in the lebanese, the tenants and 2006. and that was decades ago. we are speaking about a very big capacity also because, and this is what you just mentioned then in your question, because hezbollah is not as drowned that as the people in because the in terms of the alliance, when you are touching hezbollah,

you are touching the rockies you are touching the rodney's, you are searching the syrians. it's not going to be a, it's an open ended war. let's call it like that one that's it seems like it's a very different is what you're describing. very different situation, right? door to door combat in gauze. that going into gaza and bombing targets, as has been the case for the last 8 months and, and badly, mostly civilian population in gaza is very different. you're saying then taking on his bullet directly, especially if it was just coast bullet. that's one story. but again, we're talking about the uranium is becoming involved, and that becomes a very different story because you're not talking anymore about just trying to flush out a small group like i'm us, we're talking about an actual nation state war, which again, a very different story. but let me ask you this, the us obviously is all over the map. it seems like they say that they're in support of israel. the us government says, you know, we're with israel no matter what that yahoo still is supposed to be coming in. and speaking here before joint session of congress, they're still trying to get the details of all that worked out. when even when that

happens, at what point does the us start to walk this back and say, but we don't want to be dragging to another middle eastern war. you know, people throw around the term world war 3 an awful lot these days. the us is obviously running a proxy war in ukraine right now. can they also be funding and operating the proxy war through israel in the middle east? if it weren't for the americans, then would then be something called israel occupying palestine. they are then. it is an american war in our nation. it's the american war, and our region has always been like that. we're talking about the american, the munitions. we're talking about, the american barking and details. we're talking about the american protection and the i see, see what, what is left to do that the americans haven't done in order to protect them as they continue a sound advice, genocide. how can this be more american of the lord more than the americans do? they are providing the plays. they're providing the munitions. they're providing

the coverage. i mean, well, and certainly these are providers tend to send in marines to kill us. what do they actually do? they have been reports that says there are american people on the go. so i mean, there's nothing to be done and the report on the reports coming out of the, the hostages being free just last week or 2 weeks ago. those reports indicate that it was american military that was on the ground for that it came from the, the gaza aide peer. right. which was supposed to be issue mandatory in a year. there's, there's video from the israeli side that shows that there was military there including us and it's really military. they loaded up humanitarian aid trucks and then drove them in and, and there were a lot of witnesses on the pallets and the inside and gaza, who said that these were americans, these were not, is really soldiers. these were americans who were part of the so i, i agree with your point, but the us is much more involved then it's pretending it's pertaining it's not very involved is kind of taking up a stand offish position. that's certainly not the case. the question though is at what point is israel and we'll, we'll give a pause here guys,

if you want to come back on camera as, as guide. you mentioned, she's 11 on internet. there's is typically spotty. there she is at what point does because will have to come to the table with some kind of negotiation because it seems as if a lot of of the international support for this, which was based upon the october 7th. the tax is waning at this point, or is it not? well then there's a lot to say about everything you just state. it's krista baldwin, we speak about seeing the hostages, the data, the they feed hostages. they can equally as much hostages. the way we are covering the news, the way the world is talking about and paraphrasing the news is really, sir that, that the stage, these really have killed more hostages than the ones they have. 3 in that operation that says correct. the way we to the end on that day and then let me as well for

our listeners, for our listeners who don't know, they freed for hostages. they said what the reports are. they killed for hostages, including one who had american citizenship. but go ahead as well. exactly, so this when reinstating these facts, just to say that the american media, the mainstream media of the world that is always aligned with american foreign policy, is just orchestra. i think this whole thing trying to find a way out that nothing you know, actually did something out of this bloody mess. it could ongoing genocide. ok. they feed for hostages, they connect for hostages run just like you stated. so basically on the down, the way we are accepting the news and like for to basing this news is nothing. anybody after that, if we want to see the story for, if you want to talk about the story is really, is actually can us the many reports today, many of the, the is really media cover that's and now the building media are starting to get to

the the in life and lightning information that according to the 100 blocks on october 7th, is really skilled their own. okay, so, and so the whole way we are competing this war is not accurate. and the whole way that the americans are trying to find ways out in the politics and then the media for nothing else just says ok, i believe it's something i see some hostages, i was able to eliminate, come us know the operation is done. i think nobody knew nobody, even even the people who are throw palestine forever, 3 found a star. we did not even think or uh like, i know lies that there is this, this would go on for 8 months straight is such a destructive world. we are talking about tons of munitions being used as big as a new theater, a bomb, and the so and then they are after each month being able to their, their hand made a massage, a being able to reach is really supplements and the city. so i think these are,

these are stuck, nathaniel is stuck and the americans for the, oh good for the for the is really good. they are trying to step back in a way with the, with the least possible kind of human, the ation for the is where use, okay. like there was 3 targets, 3 of the hostages illuminating him us and the like securing that has uh then as a ship, the edu. know, today they did not do anything of old out. they are still after 8 months, they did not see all the hostages. they did nothing, eliminate come us and they did not secure. they did not to stop the danger. so they are trying to find the way out the americans the end to find a way out for the israel is nothing else. it certainly sounds like got a francis. we could talk about this all afternoon. unfortunately, we're out of time for today, but we will have to have you back. thank you so much. thank you. then. thank you.

all right, that is our shell. remember to always look outside your own box because true to don't live in boxes and bins one. i'll see you next time the the,

[000:00:00;00] the police wanted to jump into crowns of the canyon capital. this protest, as long as the president stepped down to find table where he can see the going on po pilla i left pushed were full, also ahead the bolivian presidents, luis on face of vice and attempted to, well, the general who aim to walk a straight, the raging change is arrested and charged with terrorism on the insurrection. the
