the, the in the firing line, the route is again targeted by as well as the rods updates operation against has blocked out of commas days after the plastics building devices. a time that left the trailer cottage nationwide along with the ass twice is ready. tons also roll into the goal on the heights border regions, escalating pensions between the 2 countries. but any, you wraps up, it's war rhetoric against russia. but moscow warrens about an escalation may lead to unprecedented consequences. the

continuing coverage of the latest trends shaping the world right now. this is our, the international i, a, michael, quite you are now on these run is dry called the residential building and they are rude. has left 12 people dead more than 61, did not. according to the lebanese authorities, some of the casualties, all the children, all the idea of confirmed the conduct, the strikes videos on social media showed locals picking their way through the ramos. of the attack, follow the wave of use or at least twice on the southern lab and on, earlier on in the days that will receive this footage from the scene. relatives of an arctic correspondent with close to the building that was hit. one of them managed to leave the area safety i let's cross now live to our, the curse bunny. yes. and they can, who is it buried the afternoon? it's good to have you join me now. so a 2nd day of strikes on the lebanese capital, and can you bring us up to speed on developments that

mike, it's good to see. well, looking at what's been happening, the events, of course, at one point could seem coincidental, but now the pieces of the puzzle are essentially coming together. now today on friday, we of course did observe the error strike or the strike on a residential complex building in the here. and the reality of the situation is that it was a tactical strike more so an assassination attempt. so very briefly, i want to go over what happened over the course of the past week. this is day to a strikes in and around a roof. but we could say that all of us started on tuesday when the initial wave of pagers were detonated, unexploded across this, across the country. i've lived in on that started. what we believe is, of course, of the 1st domino and then on tuesday has beloved members were forced to communicate by way of 2 way radios. and that was of course, the 2nd wave of attacks. and then on thursday,

one has some sort of loved the leader of his beloved was giving his prerecorded teller by speech is rarely jets, were flat on low across the 11 east capitals. it was almost in a foreshadowing sense, of course, because we understand that during the 1st 3 stages of this attack, the communications were essentially eliminated. and this essentially required hezbollah officials to meet in person. and now we are here on friday. we're the leaders of the senior leaders of hezbollah, convened in da here in beta rhodes. when the strike happened, israel has actually confirmed the official page on x such quoting the idea and posted a photo of the high ranking military officials within the room that said that this was, this is the moment of the general staff for him. during the elimination of people have a kid which was one of the prominent members of hezbollah, and a senior commander from the one forces now were receiving information, suggesting that there were more than one high ranking officials of the one forces

that have on forces are an elite task for at least an elite force within has been most military power. and of course, this is a devastating strikes the 1st few days when we saw these pages. and these 2 way radio is essentially designating all across the country in and of itself. that was, of course, a devastating blow to has a lot, but looking at the broader picture, it suggests that is really intelligence was in one way or another inching towards forcing the senior leadership to come together to convene and have discussions face to face, particularly at a time when israel was essentially not necessarily even promising, but showing a forward display of its military power, essentially provoking and senior officials in a way threatening them. and this of course, and in one way or another was successful. now you, by my kid, very prominent figure. i'm has the last, he was also in the us, the state department's most wanted list. he had a bounty on his head for up to $7000000.00 if i'm not mistaken. this is a very,

very, very prominent figure, a very high value targets. and then it also begs the question mike, to whether or not the united states was working in tandem with the israelis once taking out of this high value targets. but just to summarize everything real quickly, mike, what we observed over the course of the past few days since tuesday, up until this point just really shows how far israel is wanting to go. of course, the conditions within the capital available, for example, it is of course dire in and of itself. people are scared, people are frightened, any slight noise is what, not loud or not. so essentially has people triggered have some questions as to whether they're with strikes? uh, is it going to happen again, people are taking the 1st of all sorts of precautions are keeping their cellular devices off and storing them away. so it's safe to say the people here are on hedge is real, does validate, it will do what's best to push, has been la north, away from its border, essentially establishing a buffer zone. whereas as below is the set essentially saying that they will not

let that happen. so it is escalating to a point where we assume that it will spiral out of control. now. so what has the level do next is a matter of great concern, especially given all these developments. all right, so we have to leave you here at all. yes. in space space and certainly we'll, we'll keep a tab on what's going on. obviously corresponded yesterday again, joining us from be room there. now with the way you call the exploding devices, attracts funerals, processions are being held across 11 on all the some of those services became tablets to with attendees, killed and wounded media. reports say that explosives might have been planted inside pages, and now the electronic devices remains on clear what stage of the supply chain might have been compromised. now, military experts hardly helped me a believes that the ground oppression in lebanon would lead to a grave consequences. for these ready ami, everybody advised them not to go is because uh, they lost a lot of the banks,

the vehicles and sold. are there a lo load them they can imagine, and they spend a lot of money in 360 square meters, and it was a who is this going his side? why are they can mean 2 strikes against the posting you? now, they are trying to embed live on as much as throwing it may be wise, one of the times with the ben fines allies going to then uh from us. and they want to go and do, but this is a who is, is buy stuff easy and buy military wise. if they commit such mistakes, it would be may be stopped in oh, let's say defeating the end, the feasible army in the middle. wally, as early as a massing military forces near its border with lebanon units, have taken up a new,

a tell every positions within sights of lab and on. and that's actually, he's really defense minister instead of a conflict with entering a new phase that he insisted that has belie will pay a severe prize for its actions against this country. with all the details here, his art is married for an auction is interesting that israel kept quiet while pagers and other devices have been exploded in lab and on. and that was only at the end of the 2nd day that's from and a $710.00. yahoo release a brief video saying just 2 sentences. i don't know who knows? we will return the people of the north to their safe homes. that is what we will do . do so we have to understand the best scroll show for each row, and the country is ready to do whatever is needed to fulfill this mission and defense minister gallon. tulsa confirmed, that is really a tax will continue and intensify. i mean by, i mean my over the past several days, we have held a series of important discussions. this is

a new phase of the war. it bears opportunities, but also significant risks as well. i feels that it is being persecuted and the sequence of military action will continue. our goal is to ensure the safer ton of israel's northern communities to their homes. as time goes by, has beloved will pay an increasing price. israel's military leaders has been saying repeatedly, recently that the focus is now shifting to the north, so they want them to have to wrap up the guy, the conflict and return captive still held somewhere in underground tunnels. in dallas. israel floated a new plan to the americans on thursday. the idea is to get o $101.00 remaining hostages, released at once, instead of in stages. in return, they offer free passage to send wire. how must his political leader and anyway, he wants to bring the lawn out of gas. the proposal also includes stopping the

fighting and having other countries help rebuild guys at once. how much is out? i have to say that israel has preached this plan before, but sue are turned it down, say he'd stay in gaza. however, we have to have this done with the situation drastically changed by recent attacks and lab and he might change his mind. we'll have to wait and sage watts have masses response will be the probably only threat people engage the phase is quote, obesity. and those are the words to find these ready m p who categorically rejects the notion of allowing you many to an age to a pot, a scene and civilians. however, the it is clear that we need to put another type of pressure on her mouth. and i am saying me, who wants to end the war to get all hostages back. i am saying that as long as there is no deal, we can't get the humanitarian assistance in what is the logic of allowing 200 trucks a day and that they sell and recreate more terrorist is the only threat,

but they are facing is a be city is this how we will bring all hostages back home? now for more on this now we can. let's cross now live to act the best and the former guys a resident months. so should buy months. so it's good to have you join me now. first of all, what are your thoughts on these comments coming from the member of these ready upon him into a cell saying that people then guides at risk, quote, obesity e v allow age to get in what you're interpreting from that to thank you for having like the 1st of all, let us talk about the numbers before the war started. there was around $500.00 trucks at the input in gaza, which includes different kinds of goods. and the things that people need that's was before the war started when people were inside their homes when they had secure lives relatively like now post for the last month i spent the united nations around 60 bucks and they are in thing. so that's just over 10 percent of the number

of trucks that used to enter versus 3 more. so we're talking about a much, much less significant amount. given the circumstances that the people need on the grounds, please remember that there is no gas cooking gas. uh there is no. people don't have access to electricity for the organs anymore. the situation on the ground when it comes to food and water is, is very, very um, its accompanying. i mean, people have lost a lot of, uh, a lot of weight in the us uh with the north central region or south. and unfortunately, people are dying due to nutritious, knuckle, nutritious, uh, a food entity. people cannot only live one, know, one as well. so uh, i find that the, um, the comments are uh, pretty oregon and it is pretty, uh, is, you know,

sad to hear that from so from a nation that's considered supposed to be world 1st will the nation and that the support human rights, the it is pretty outstanding, this thing. such cons as well right now. uh, you have been on grounds there as a days and you have given us a picture of this now. several un agencies stating that policy and the civilians risk starvation have one new every other day. why? the situation is still a die in your view. can you, can you, can you break it down for us? it's a matter of supply and demand. there isn't enough food. entering the strip, we're talking about less than 10 percent before $1030.00 before. so you have people just waiting every day for a different instrument to trade in organizations on the ground folk for them. one me every day or 2 means every 3 or 4 days. the video of any do they have any kind

of 14. so the other 2 up the street and on the ground is that got people living in tents in 10 cities. and each 10 city has like a big kitchen with humanitarian organizations pulled fairly steep and once a day. so the supply and demand that isn't enough supply going inside of that to feed around $2000000.00 civilians, many are starving. many our children and it's only getting worse as these best buy . again, it's only that the quantity in thing is love. the quality entering is not good and the flux gets which is the value. all right, now you are an optimist trying to get back into guys that not hard is data and what kind of obstacles have you face? can you share that with us to yeah, it's impossible for anyone who left it as a to go back right now. we are, i but it just stood myself, for example, with the christians hopefully to go back with them when they least thought that

activities inside the what in the meantime i'm going to help by partnering with different international organizations and executing projects on the ground in those and directing the funds intended for the be able to because that will be used by them. again, do whatever we are doing is just adopting the ocean. but we are trying our best to do whatever we can to keep the people on the ground steadfast, why they're going through the genocide. all right, now, according to reports, more than 80 percent of a med for guides that was blocked by as well. why do i hear thing that is that and in your opinion, and what is the goal of such policy? i mean the using the start of asian um the blocking of these thoughts as i live in a hor right now they are committing a genocide against a shift in to the city which are the seniors and they are trying to teach them a lesson that once maybe they opened the board,

this for them to the bugs are not through town and then for them to go ahead and take the steps. maybe that's what they have in mind right now. but for them, um i think that they want it to be some kind of alyssa, you know, so that the people there in the future. and as they, as they would see it not, not, not support to any kind of resistance against that is really is when they've gone. but the problem is that they are creating whenever they kill more people and they put 4 people into starvation, they are creating new generations for existence items, whether they like it or not. so i think that's and now they're doing the same and the west bank and the zip, and i don't think that they are learning. and i think that as long as the americans and the western countries continued to support is right in, in this genocide, i think that on the long i'm on the longer on the, the future of the region is going to. so now what do you may call the logic of ease

roll that's a wouldn't be allowed in on to have to do is that release. we're essentially talking about collective punishment for civilians, women and children. is that what you see? a 100 percent? i mean, is there and has around 10000 to about a student in prison. this which they're also starting in the prison that they are beating every day that they are keeping an isolation on sort of the confinement. i mean, i mean, i think that that has been for a long time though it did on the table for these really steep, for the release of hostages on both sides and for the moving of these really forces from causes that, well, i think the thing is really, especially with the richmond governments. they want afford extra this for the better students from us. uh they want to force them out. the one that a piece of 1940 to 1967. then they also want to do the same thing in the west, but for the forced, the 1st scene is in the west bank to eventually move to georgia. and same as the

north in, in the, in the north of visit i had was, comes to, so the liberal, they want to expand to sort of living on his web. we are dealing with the nearest part. and it seems that at this point right now, no one is able to put the scope of them. it's great, we'll keep going into you. and when it comes to voting for this fine as a member of the united nations, it's a gauge. what we're seeing will dismiss nations noise in the sign by c, g, etc, but on the ground, people are still suffering. i hope this doesn't continue any well and you've painted a picture and we have seen the impact of all of this war and civilians and guys about why aren't we seeing more pressure on these relative stop civilians suffering in this war? and i think the pressure, uh, i think it's the united states, not putting enough pressure. i think i think that the united states is working very

closely with is it? i have to continue whatever they are doing on a tech to come and strategic. the vision of how the us wants to shape the middle east, then you with that east. so it seems that they've taken the what happens on october the 7th, as a, as a reason for them to continue on is right. is expansion plan. and as long as the united states is convinced that it is better for isabel to do what it's doing and for them to back them up in the background together to western powers, i think no one else can really puts pressure on isn't something that the, the resistance for these a few days ago was that they're going to restart the market. the patients inside is what i maybe that can also be something that's what the bush is really is back. but again, it seems that the want to continue further escalate the colored situation on the go look, you have senior level for the cyber attacks. continue. we are talking civilians and

the bicycle condition and the as we're seeing in the west bank. so i think that we are looking at unfortunately, asian on what happening again this is unless the us changes it's mine or all we have to living here now months or so mind the former guys are a resident, an activist for more on this topic. thank you. so much for all you do. thank you. thank you right away from the mid lease. now the use of all being, it's what you know, it's what rhetoric, sports, or russia, what they nearly designated defense commission at wanting of the serious potential for direct nato confrontation. the defense ministers, a nato generals, agreed that vladimir putin could be ready for confrontation with nato. and the e. u in 680 is. if we take these assessments seriously, then that is the time for us to properly prepare, and it is a short one. i need to remember space have been increasing the defense spending,

trying to be the top of of 2 percent of g d p. but the head of the military block says that that's still not enough. in the current circumstances. he also insist that more weapons must be sent to ukraine. a sentiment echoed by members of european parliaments, who voted to put pressure to a member space to let key of use long range weapons to strike deep into russia are to contribute to our rachel mazda and reports on this. so the jokers in the european parliament have just voted on mass on thursday to take one giant step with their clown shoes towards full blown nuclear war. yeah, for sure, people to fix the refrigerator for the bundled lines easily get a minute embodiments of democracy really should be trusted to judge what's legitimate or not. so what's the big deal about all of this anyway? well, russia just keeps telling. today, the european parliament cooled on the e u. countries to lift restrictions on key of strikes with long range weapons on

the territory of a country to strengthen military support for ukraine. and to announce the collection of funds from the population of europe for the needs of the ukrainian forces. if such a thing happens, russia will give a tough response using more powerful weapons. no one should have any illusions about this. the state duma insists on this so 131 e. lawmakers said absolutely positively no way to all of this. and 63 of them abstain, because apparently they had something better to do then to show up and actually take a stand on the march towards world war that's costing europeans a fortune by the way. or maybe they were just in the washroom where the toilet paper has about as much value as these non binding resolutions that the passes, which of course makes it much easier to just the idea logically, for virtue signaling purposes. but still, the non binding resolutions do risk appear pressuring the more feeble minded establishment. sick of fans who happened to be leading the charge,

speaking of which, the e. u has a whole new set of hand pick commissioners and its 1st ever defense commission. here's a little taste of what one might now call his audition from back in july. for those who are arguing that ukraine should agree with a piece conditions of putin, i would suggest to look into the possibility to offer, to put in territory of their own country. that would be very precisely what you should do piece can be achieved only if you crane is winning and its territorial sovereignty is defended. and that can be done only without much longer support the pride and joy of his native lithuania. no doubt. it's not like anyone's actually going to follow this guy into battle unless it's for an office paper tournament. maybe he's just one more dude yapping away in the unofficial language of the you, which is yap. and he's, when it comes to crossing red lines that risk leading to nuclear war. there's

another table, one where the baltics aren't being allowed to pretend that they run the show guys like to billy is here and the new foreign affairs commissioner call us. it's a different table, hopefully comprised of more responsible adults whose decisions bear serious consequences, but don't just the mountain to non binding rhetoric. we have said a 100 times that they can be no nuclear war between nuclear states, especially between the us and russia. there will be no windows, but there is some kind of illusion here that if there is a conflict, it will not spread to the territory of the united states of america. i am constantly trying to convey one's thesis to them. the americans will not be able to sit it out behind the waters of the ocean. this war will affect everyone, therefore we constantly say, do not play with this rhetoric. so we're talking here about the u. s. u. k and leaders of western nation states who are within earshot of all this reckless rhetoric that are still actually deliberating and weighing the potentially serious

consequences of any escal atory action. and in case measured diplomatic rhetoric from russia isn't quite getting the point across. here's the deputy chairman of the russian security council and former russian president and prime minister with some alternative phrasing. however, the pompous anglo saxon imbeciles do not want to admit one thing any patients comes to an end. and those moderate western analysts who warned yes, the russians will probably not respond in this way, although there is still a possibility to, besides, the response could be with the use of new non nucular delivery vehicles. and that's it. a giant gray molten stain on the place of key of holy. it's impossible, but it happened on the bright side, there are prominent political voices in the us getting out the message that nuclear war with russia. it would be a bad thing. this game of nuclear chicken has gone far enough. there is no remaining step between firing us missiles deepened to russian territory and a nuclear exchange. we cannot get any closer to the brink than this. it is pass

time to de escalate this conflict. this is more important than any of the political issues our nation argues about nuclear war would mean the end of civilization. as we know, it may be even the end of the human species. you would think that the escalation from creeping threat of nuclear war would be a no brainer, as in you literally have to have no brains to even entertain any other position. and yet, here we are and to the united states now following another power, this tests the nation to attempt on donald trump tycoon. the loan mosque has noted no one seems to be pocketing the other side while the ex, oh no said his post was a tom antique. you follow with these didn't see the funny side of it. the agency is aware of the social media post made by 11 musk as a matter of practice. we do not comment on matters involving protective intelligence. we can say, however, that the secret service investigates all threats related to our protect. these

turns out the jokes are way less funny if people don't know the context and the delivery is plaintext. been a while a pole has been carried out questioning. if americans think it would be better if trump was eliminated. 92 percent of republicans said he will be home for quite $1.00 and $4.00 democrats welcomed it as a good idea. once lots democrats even cold into an american broadcast and raised the fascination attempt. i did 20 years and military to, to the now only in acting sick to sick when back in 60 and i look at myself and think about, we'll pull as a military man. we pull the coal with curio cabinet destroyed. and then by all means available in the sea, we let this man trump this for america. and i'll look at and see what he's 2 people had to step up and take that shot. maybe 3, not know what to what i'm sorry we're, you're not advocating violence. are you not balls?

i'm don't, my defending my country are to contribute. those ha, read joy. my colleague, charlotte, the best key in the studio area. i should believe that the us authorities are focusing on the wrong things. instead of running a safe, a presidential campaign. a lot in most cases has made a lot of posts that are tanya and sheet, but he kind of did make a point because there hasn't been any attempts on democrats, i think is that recently as, as recently as today, mat gates revealed that there were there are 5 teams basically that had been in coverage by homeland security that were trying to assassinate donald trump. and many people believe this is an inside job and there's a split happening with a government. whether that's true or not, the time will tell you on most, you know, is not controlled opposition in some people's opinion. in the us government, they want him to not have free speech on x. they seem to be focusing on the wrong

things, like taking down a name or taking down a joke or whatever when they should be focusing on. how do these sat would be, assassins get so close to trump? how did the secret service fail? we've had this recent poll that you just let me talk about that all isn't really wanting for democrats, believing that america would be better off if trump was assassinated. i mean, how is it even possible that we're off the stage with the sort of polls are being conducted? this seems incredible. yeah, the democrats call themselves the party of joy. me progress team. right. um, well, what i would say to that is looking then you want to look at these poles, right? you know, you're going to have different opinions. my, my opinion is most americans don't want violence in her american, you know, presidential race. however, there has been as a think about almost in a nourishment or, or like people getting used to the violence which is really scary. do we want

americans to become use to the fact that when you run for president, you could be a target. but that's, that's really frightening. all right. we've got some democrats that are still trying to escape co seems like bushes, always bullying for something or of that. i just want to get you to listen to a recent statement that we've had from former us secretary of state, hillary clinton. i think we need to on cover all of the connections and make it very clear that you can vote however you want. but we are not going to let adversaries whether it is russia, china, iran, or anybody else. basically try to influence americans as to how we should vote and picking our leaders. so hillary clinton once again saying that russia is trying to interfere in the us election. what do you make of this? i think we could only describe as being in session, right, or i can.
