the, the, [000:00:00;00] the breaking news, israel announces a new phase of war as it moves troops to its northern border with 11 on walls, pledging to return to this place the citizens to their homes. there. that's as a new wave of mobile device explosions kills at least 14 and wounds over 450 more and 11 on just a day after 12 died in 2800 were injured there and a mass pager bombing straight the time on these company ended tongue gary and business partner both denied producing

that dudley pagers. the device is relatively designated remotely by israel. i want to thank you meta and i hope our committees interest in the subject helped move you yesterday. and you guys decided to take down our teak and related russian implants, operations, and chairs are ups in the us, senate or members, welcome meadows decision to sensor and remove all our t accounts from the platforms. as senators claim, the government continues to protect free speech. the you are watching archie international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. we start with breaking news as well as defense minister says the country is launching a new phase of war. he has ordered some of his troops to divert from gaza to the border with love and on. this comes to shortly after that country was struck by 2 days of widespread mobile device explosions till at least 26 people and wounding

more than 3000 a sheet. no, it goes over the center of gravity is moving north, meaning that we are allocating forces resources and energy game for the northern or resort. we have not forgotten the hostages, and then we have not forgotten our mission in the south. we are committed to our duties and we are carrying them out simultaneously. us media is now reporting israel informed washington on tuesday about his plans for the 11 on operation without providing details. this comes in mid accusations from has by the end around the israel is responsible for the electronic it that nations in lab. and on radian envoy to the un says to ron, sees attacks as an act of terror around also valves. retaliation for an attack on us in bassett or $211.00 on who was wounded in the bombings are 2 correspondent, joelle maroon is in love and on and brings us the latest details a non beside or some i'm not long ago explosions were heard across various regions . of southern lebanon,

we've received information that at least one person is confirmed dead, although more are believe to have been killed. this new wave of explosions affected wireless devices. and today we're not only talking about pagers, but also radios, like walkie talkies. that's according to 11 east security source speaking with r t 11 east ministry of health. also announced a short while ago that there are hundreds of wounded citizens and calls are going out from hospitals to donate blood. right now, we're in front of a hospital emergency room in the front area. they route, we can see the lebanese army and security forces are setting up the security cordon around the hospitals where the wounded have begun to arrive. there are also members of the victims, families who have arrived here to find out about their relatives, the liberties for administer a short while ago called this new attack. a blatant violation of the country sovereignty had, did the also called on the international community to stop israel from violating the lebanese sovereignty in such a manner. a reminder that this is the 2nd day in

a row that these explosions have occurred just half an hour after these attacks the liberties health ministry announced that they were more than a 100 injuries throughout the country. hundreds of injured or receiving care. and again, hospitals are calling for blood donations, and amid dependent caused by the exploding devices, there are also funerals taking place for lebanon citizen and one of the things i did, the 11 east red cross reports responding to multiple explosions and different regions of the country. reports indicate members of hezbollah use to the handheld of radios, but footage, appearing to show the aftermath of the explosions on the streets and inside apartments are t correspondence use of july in the us. and i can have an updates for starters as well, that has issued a statement suggesting that this new wave of a tax is not going to go on punished. they say that they face a new challenge, of course, how his beloved plans on dealing with the wave of a tax target and kind of try local as well as communications device is going to be a matter of interest moving forward,

particularly because after 24 hours after the 1st wave of attacks, it's valez essentially suffered a very similar scenario. but the important thing here is, of course, to note that the only people that have been targeted are of course and not has the law members or, but the most importantly, that civilians have been caught in the crossfire. which really begs the question just about, how did this real go about doing this? are so many theories out there, of course, the theory that there was a site supply chain attack is picking up the most traction. the church president reached out to the lebanese prime minister, expressing his sympathies, but also his condolences and so those that were killed and injured as a result of these attacks. this was early on wednesday, moments before the 2nd wave of attacks. it's 11 on, but of course what we're looking at right now is a different approach, or at least a difference in, in this kind of attack. because on tuesday, when the attack initially took place of the devices that were targeted were pages. but today were receiving reports suggesting that the devices also include radios,

whether their home radios, the car vehicles, us like our videos, laptops fingerprint scanners, essentially anything with an electrical circuit board that has also been effected as a result of this attack. and what we do know at this point, these rarely is of course have been silence and the general theory is that is real, is quiet because of operational security. but then that also makes the question then, what is, is we are planning moving forward because we understand this type of warfare. this hybrid warfare uses a symmetrical methods to ensure that it carries out attacks against its enemies. in this case, that is, has the law. but also does so in the strategic sense, we understand that to the tactic that is being used as being the essentially issue for one very specific reason. and that is to of course go over well 11 on health system. this typically happens in advance of a larger campaign. of course, this would require months of planning. we understand that this really is happen planning this for months. then just this past week, they have decided and essentially agreed to include 11 on southern borders,

least at southern territories as part of its scope. and it's vision moving forward . of course, what that's going to look like at this very moment is hunter, but the one thing that is clear is of course as bullet has about to react and retaliate against these attacks. we can expect is we all to do the same and just perpetual cycle will continue, which will, of course, lead to further unrelated in many leaders within the region. we suggest that there is this wave of violence that we cannot seem to get our heads around. we can't seem to walk away from these back and forth, and tit for tat attacks will continue and on this, something is done. this will lead into something much, much broader, which will put more lives at risk. criticism is mounting and iran with officials pointing fingers that as well, but not many labeling the recent explosions that as a waiting act of terrorism. president muscle because there's guns also weighed in today. placing much of the blame on the west. it was possible support for israel in a cabinet of meetings today. he describes the situation as a disgrace for as well as western allies, particularly the wes,

accusing them of abandoning their principles in favor of what he calls an inhumane agenda, which he sees as a prime example of a decline in humanity within the west. using tools normally meant to enhance the welfare of humans as a means of tara and destruction, against those whose views do not align with us, is proof of the decline of humanity and of the dominance of savagery and criminality. this event once again showed that although the western states and americans claim they want to cease fire in practice, they offer full support for blind crimes killings and assassinations. they are wanting president task for us the, the urgent need for muslim nations to unite to guess what he termed on the ongoing atrocities committed by israel. a lot of response to the incident has been really swift, especially with my eyes on to have on following the reset as us the nation of former . how much chief as might honey a to around the country has also played

a big role. and of course, providing relief to those injured in the lebanese attack. in fact, it one was among the 1st to dispatch medical relief teams to live in on the one in red cross and has already arrived on the scene to assess victims. i know we've learned that the several injured individuals will be transported to iran for, for their medical care. later today we had hoped to report from a metro by the airport to speak with some of those effected and getting a clear image of what happened in 11 on. however, the red cross and informed us that you would just security concerns. we cannot film anything any think there of course, because many of the injured are reportedly as well. members of this incident has struck in nerve into one end of the rhetoric. yeah. rhetoric into one has increased significantly as we see different iranian officials are talking about a serious revenge menu are now ask you do have one in government here. it's

a wrong people are asking the a warning government to not say i opened the face of the ongoing publications on the part of as well, especially when it comes to the fact that the one of the iranian officials, they're wanting in baset are to have been on most of our money i was. 1 as one of those who were affected by the incident of following the pager, that nation is the time on based company that owns the brand, announced it didn't produce the devices that claims a sub contractor based and hungry made them. but that business also has denied any involvement with still no official word from israel. despite much speculation that carried out the sophisticated attack, budapest has issued a statement clarifying the devices in question have never even banned in hungary of towards this have confirmed that the company in question is a trading intermediary with no manufacturing or operational starting hungry. it has one manager, registered edits, declares address, and the reference devices have never been in hungry. well over 24 hours since the

pager explosions and 11 on still no official response from israel. this fights direct accusations from his beloved as well as the lebanese government. israel and has remained dead silence and haven't claimed responsibility for the attacks. the government press office, which typically sends out multiple updates to for and during this age day has been quiet on the, on his social media channels. there is coverage on the idea of routine activities in dallas. i'm and how long the lebanese border in the countries north, but the pager bloss onto mentioned and just recently and you post appeared on prime ministers telegram channel, where he express condolences for the death toll for is really military personnel in gauze. um. but as for the beepers, no mention. meanwhile, the attention is slowly shifting from who is behind to. how does this attack happened at oh, it was additionally considered a cyber warfare, as you remember,

but now asperger's suggest the pagers were fated with the remotely activities of explosive devices. citing a senior 11 a security source and another unnamed source, reuters claims, but israel's foreign intelligence agency allegedly planned to the explosives inside 5000 pagers imported by his bulk of 5 months before tuesdays designations. this operation. i serious rachel, his goal of security. we have to say was months in preparation. the media says all eyes on our own gold, the poland, taiwan based company that has been a lot older. the pagers from the company c o stated that the device is used in the 11 and bloss were manufactured by its sister company located in hungary. we didn't design it, we didn't manufacture it. the company just bought a license slow go from us. it has nothing to do with me. well in see or we explosives could have been placed inside the devices off that they were manufactured or even after arriving and lab and on, investigator is all considering all possibilities. but the manufacturer has been

under a significant scrutiny, of course, in response to those on one to the pension. they hadn't gary and cabinets, stated that the company in question is private and has never received government orders. his roles, major ally in old time supporters, the u. s keeps insisting it had no knowledge of the attacking lab on, on. we heard that previously from pen to go in and white house officials and now secretary of state, blinking county in cairo. egypt has rates are rated that america neither knew about not participated in the operation. the pager explosions occurred just a day after the reading. president said tyrone might engage in direct talks with the us potentially if washington shows a practice that it is not the whole style towards the public, the potential reconciliation that israel is clearly not interested in. the united states did not know about. uh,

nor was it involved of these incidents and we're still gathering the information and gathering the facts. and we remain very clear about the importance of all parts . avoiding any steps that could further escalate the conflict that we're trying to resolve in gaza spread to other friends. it's clearly not in the interest of anyone involved to see that happening. we're focused on getting this cease fire over the finish line. uh that would also, i think the material in terms of the prospects of actually defusing, the situation in northern israel, in southern lebanon. it's imperative that everyone is avoid taking steps that could further escalators for the conflict. the u. s. has long claims to be a peace maker in the region, but with little success as tension is have only worse and worse and worse into times to help prevent and allow tour between tell of even his bulk. americas special envoy visited israel on monday, but left to empty handed as his rose defense minister as

a gallon consisted and military operation is necessary to safely return northern residents to their homes. some argue that america acts as a mediator, but with a clear bias toward one side and the runs fingerprints are all over, all the buildings are going on in this region. and around these to edit support for these proxies. they need to do it now, and we need to more work for de escalation of this conflict as parents of paramount importance. right now. i don't know what you're talking america, secretary of defense austin is expected in these role next week. again, unclear what will a change. meanwhile, his bowler promises to retaliate with no clear indication of when exactly might happen, which leaves the situation very tense. the army is really army and says, no changes to the home. phones commands directives, but we hear unconfirmed reports. but the idea has re deployed, it's

a lead 90 a's division from the gathers trip to the northern command in preparation for a possible escalation. and we have to understand that remember that if his bullet answer is israel will retaliate to this retaliation. and that will put the entire region in danger view and general assembly has passed a resolution ordering israel to withdraw from occupied palestinian territories within a year. 124 member states voted in favor with 14 against including the u. s. a meanwhile calls for the world the community to recognize a palestinian state are growing louder. this time with saudi arabia at the forefront of the kingdom will not stop. it started his work towards the establishment of independence. the listing in state was east jerusalem as its capital and were firm that the king will not establish diplomatic relations with israel without that. right, let's cross live now to 5 all university professor highlighted but tar fee. to discuss this in depth, professor good to have you on the program with us. so as i mentioned know that you

went as voted overwhelmingly to direct as well to leave palestinian territory. do you have any expectation the israel will actually less than that? so as long as the waste specially america is protecting is ideal, i'm covering for all those crimes. and even facilitating describes as a bar thing then. uh there is no way that is our way to move any inch to watch the store. there is a lot of of things happening now like uh and goes in like and even in c, i mean everywhere and is, are you is just saying that it's right. so that's, that's uh i'm ok. oh uh the term. so this is

still to god everyone to be dirt is, except that america, unfortunately, is supporting data as uses in this story. america was, i'm on. if you for a 4 to again, this is an issue. is there any accountability? if israel fails to withdraw, and that's it. so i can see that except that is a is though, is isolated, politically, domestically. and it's in a comedy, uh there is kind of like ups from people all around the world. and some countries are decided not to uh, imports, uh, products, different products or even exports like they did when they decided that they would not uh, sell in certain equipments, fitness equipment. so,

and that's kind of a punishment, but it's not high, you know, not strong enough to stop them from doing what they are. they are doing because they believe this is coming from god. and they believe it's in their body of parts belts. that's what's the value of the chooses, and therefore they wouldn't go stop. i mean these, this particular government i'd try this out to me just would never stop unless someone something i don't see anyone subdivide the moment. professor, today's resolution is the 1st document. palestine has submitted since it gained un observers status. how would you describe the perception of palestine on the world stage? now

a bunch of them before and this is one of the few benefits or what's going on for the 1st time. honest i see is seen as a seat or a cd state and that has to be to ensure to be of those dates. that's of course i guess that wishes of let's face it. i use that eric and others, and it was so suppose it been since we are city seeing correct. you're where many governments are now siding with the justice and the reason of knology to have the rise of the philistines out there by seeing. and steve likes the island community uh no way and uh, city they uh, so uh, hopefully this is for mentioned or continued until we purchase that i

oldest spots. uh, when done it, it never mind. uh, i doubt that its of the work with thoughts or size what they want to as she which is that a vision also is bank. i guess the prime minister of saudi arabia says that the saudi will continue to support a palestinian state. what steps do you expect the saudi government to take the west side? yeah, it has the uh, well think its way behind the scenes uh, all through history since the deputies, so the last century when there was a conference and wanted to decide the future about a say, add to all there was i was. and uh, today, i mean today is what happened. so my background is announced to really

uh to all the people who doubted the so the stand on this issue that we would never normalize through each with is that i as old as a state assigned is not open. nice is i you, a long live to exist side by side with that side of states. all right, we're going to leave it there. professor highlighted photography from size all university professor. thank you very much for the american officials have claimed the integrity of upcoming presidential elections is once again in danger. and the thread is coming from moscow as from a us senate hearing it dedicated to discovering the looming foreign influence. american officials also welcomed meadows decision to censor and remove our t accounts from others platforms all well praising the importance of free speech. r

t isn't the only media target met. it has removed voices from china, or ron and other countries, and has silenced corporations on his platforms, drawing the gratitude of us officials, adversaries realize this is effective and cheap to put in quarterly understands if he wants to try to undermine support american support for ukraine, weighing in and, and frankly putting up, take information can help them in that matter. we've seen a ran dramatically increase their efforts to stoke social discord discordant us all again, potentially seeking to shape elections recently. and literally, in the last 8 weeks, we've seen a cobra influence project led by r t to bankroll unwitting us political influence search. on youtube, we've seen a wide ranging russian campaign. the bad guys have basically put out false

information under those banners with the color spreading, which sounds like credible sounding narratives to really shape american voters perceptions of candidates and campaigns. i do want to acknowledge that in, in these recent efforts you all have played a positive role. i want to thank meta and i hope our committees who interest on this subject helped move you yesterday when you guys decided to take down our tea and related russian influence operations. all right, let's cross live now to den cuz i like human and labor rights lawyer dan of helps a little bit like groundhog day. keep talking about the story with you. so once again, we're hearing voices from washington, blaming russia for intervening in the upcoming elections. why is this story being replayed over and over again? well, because the us narrative on issues like ukraine guys are falling apart and not because of russian. a legend russian propaganda book. because because the

facts on the ground contradict what the us is claiming about those complex, what the us is worried about is not a propaganda. they're not really worth that. they're certainly not worried about russian propaganda. which by the way, has very little influence in the united states. what they're worried about is the truth getting out. and so they have this game where one, they're going to escape go. russia for the fact that one that they're losing the war, new grain. and they're going to escape the roster for the fact if people think what israel is doing and gaza is reprehensible. meanwhile, they're going to try to build by anyone who also questions the narratives and guys and ukraine like myself, by the way, trying to claim, or somehow russian stooges or whatever, which isn't all true, by the way it made you say, this is groundhog day. i think you're probably referring to the russian gate

scandal which began in 2016 but couldn't. and she can go back to the mccarthy period of the 1950s to the palmer raids of the 19 teens, which happened after the russian revolution. i mean, frankly, the best people in america have been claimed to have been russian ponds for a 100 years. hm. and you know, i re read 1984 just a couple months ago. the or really in novel that people liked the reference so much now and it really just so much of it rang true to life and it kind of made me pretty angry actually, i'm just so i'm just wondering that, so you don't think this is about americans being influenced as more about the us government telling americans how to think would you say that's the issue here? of course, that's true. of course, that's true. and the poll show americans buying large don't agree with the us state department is saying about these complex 80 percent of them democrats, 80 percent,

oppose the war. and guys, a majority of the people in america went into republic and still oppose the war and gaza. and the majority of americans polled oppose sending more money to you. great . and again, that's no one's fault except for the fact that those wars are indefensible. as an objective matter, they're not helping the american people, they're not helping new grant and people either or the people and guys of course and people see that they see the reality. and so, yeah, i mean, what the us government is upset about is people just aren't believing them, they're not believing their lives anymore. and so this is an act of desperation on their part. so all while appraising the restriction of our t accounts, the senators are also somehow praising the importance of free speech. there's a clip i want to play 1st. let's take a lesson we take seriously the importance of protecting free expression and access to

a range of view points. well also maintaining and enforcing responsible policy frameworks . a critical aspect of that responsibility is doing our part to protect the integrity of democratic processes around the world. so i'll paraphrase to protect free spirits. we have to limit for pain, so the big contradict or a what, what are your thoughts? well, as you said, we, i think we can call that all well in, right, a wars piece and, you know, hate as lot of, i mean yeah, it's a joke and, and for them to talk about the us preserving democracy in the around the world, the u. s is the biggest, interfere in other countries, political systems than any other country on or the us over throws other governments by force, by chicanery, and often installs authoritarian governments in the place of democratic government . so you know, again, i think people are just saying the truth,

these are lies that are being promulgated by people in the government. when they say that us supports democracy and human rights. in fact, they undermine both of those things. and that's become very apparent. it's becoming apparent with what happened and 11 on over the last couple days, which again couldn't happen without support from the united states. the u. s. is the chair. yeah. so, um, it is, meanwhile, um, after a congratulating matter for banding r t. now in addition to bands and voices invoices in russia, they've also banned voices in china and, and ron, and so we've already established that it's not about influencing the american people. it's just about people not getting different perspectives. well, why wouldn't the us government want to hear the different perspective of these countries that it considers adversarial? because it can't defend itself against what they're saying. the us cannot logically

defend itself anymore. it has no plausible claim to being this beacon down the hill is it's fine to be that was never true. first of all, but it's less true now than it ever was. again, is really proven by what's happening in gaza. one of the most disgusting acts of criminality we've ever seen in real time. the u. s. is responsible for that. and the world knows that the world does not believe the us as a good guy anymore if they ever did. and again, so they need to shut down to be, and you're seeing that at the university's the university's in the us, which is supposed to be places for the for debate and descent. universities are shutting down, protest by students over guys, because the universities themselves can not defend what the us is doing in gaza or around the world. so there's shutting down debate. so that's what you're saying in
