why this is all the international reaching you from our new center with moscow. i a michael question that one is really a strike on the residential building and very rude has left 12 people, dad and more than 60 wounded. and that's according to that. but these authorities, some of the casualties all children. now the idea of confirm be conducted the striking of videos on social media show locals taking the way through the levels. now the attack followed the wave of these rarely strides on solving lebanon area, or in the day that we received the best footage from the seen relatives of an r t correspondent with close to the building. and that was head, the old of the managed to leave the area safely, are to use yes. and that can, is in very rude and brought us up to speed all the developments of the day. the events, of course, at one point could single, incidental, but now the pieces of the puzzle are essentially coming together. now today on friday we of course, it observes the error strikes or the strikes on
2:02 pm
a residential complex building in the here. and the reality of the situation is that it was a tactical strike more so in assassination attempts. 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 this started on tuesday when the initial wave of pagers were designated 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 of us on most of the law, the leader of his beloved was giving his pre recorded tele by speech is rarely jets, were flying low across the lebanese capital. 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
2:03 pm
hezbollah officials to meet in person. and now we are here on friday where the leaders of a senior leaders of heads will lock in beams in the here in beta woods. when the strikes happened, israel has actually confirmed the official page on x says it's such quoting the idea and posted a photo of a high ranking military officials within the room that said that this was, this is that moment of the general staff for him during the elimination of people have a kid which was one of the prominent members of has the law and a senior commander from the one forces. now we are 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 of the military power. and of course, this is a devastating strike 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 one love. i'm looking at the broader picture,
2:04 pm
it suggests that this really intelligence was and one way or another inching towards forcing the senior leadership to come together to convince 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 senior officials in a way threatening them. and this of course, and in one way or another was successful. now if i came to very prominent figure, i'm has the last see was also in the us 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 makes the question mike, as to whether or not the united states was working in tandem with the israelis one 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,
2:05 pm
up until this point just really shows how far he's willing to go. of course, the conditions within the capital of baby with, for example, it is of course dire in and of itself. people are scared. people are afraid of any slight noise. what not louder not 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 edge . israel does validate, it will do its best to push has belong north, away from its border, essentially establishing a buffer zone. whereas as the law 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. so what has the level do next is a matter of great concern, especially given all these developments. what are the way called the exploding devices, the tides funerals processions are being held across the lab. and on all those, some of the of services became pockets to live attendees killed and wounded media
2:06 pm
reports say the explosives might have been planted inside pages and auto electronic devices. he remains on clear what stage of the supply chain might have been compromised. the risk catalyst, a veteran of war correspondent elijah, might be, i believe the multiple countries must have worked together to pull off such a complicated that, that these really intercept that the request of pages and batteries. that is something that any country today can intercept messages coming out of place or other countries, particularly when there is a, a direct focus on anything that coming out of that. and then and then they managed to establish a front companies and they managed to bring the goods where they all. but they also managed to find a way to integrate explosives and meant to boys inside the battery. that is very
2:07 pm
technical advice, but they need the collaboration of many countries that go like has belie i'm, i don't have all of this collaboration is extremely worried because it isn't indiscriminate attack. it is not important to highlight only the settings to be at this operation as an accident operation. which of this however, is buying anything more international goals? and this is what is missing. we not condemning a full what the days against the population. and in so many public bases that called so many injuries, even among children who died and others severely injured. when, while as early as a massing ministry forces near its border with lab and on units have taken, not the new a taylor positions within sides of lab it on. and that's as ease really defense
2:08 pm
minister said that the conflict was entering a new phase. but he insisted that it has, but i will pace yvette prize for its actions against his country. with all the details, here is archie's maria phenomena 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, the from and a 7 tenea will release a brief video st, just 2 sentences. and we will return the people of the north to the safe homes. that is what we will do, do so we have to understand the best scroll. so 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 rarely a tax will continue and intensify. i think, i mean by, i mean, 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
2:09 pm
sequence of military action will continue to go is to ensure the safe for to an israel is northern communities to their homes. as time goes by, has beloved to pay an increasing price. his role is the military leader is, 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, a israel floated a new plan to the americans on thursday. the idea is to get over $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 along out of gas. the proposal also includes stopping the fighting and having all the countries help we build gaza. once a mouse is out, i have to say that israel has pitched this plan before,
2:10 pm
but since you 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 see what have masses response will be. what relate to expert tale hom here who believes that the ground abrasion in lebanon would lead to a grave consequences for these ready ami? everybody advises, the goal is because uh they lost a lot of the banks, the vehicles and soldiers that loved them. they could imagine. and they spent a lot of money in 360 square feet of windows. uh, and it was a who is this going? his side, why are they can mean strikes against the posting you? now they are trying to bed live in a little bit as much as throwing it may be wise, one of the times with the ben fines allies going to then from us. and they want to
2:11 pm
go and doing, but this is cool is, is by step easy. and by military wise, if they commit such mistakes, it would be maybe i stopped in, oh, let's say defeating the, the end, the feasible army in the ether away from the middle east. now the ego is up and it's war rectory towards russia with the new lead designated defense commission, a warning officer risk potential for a direct native confrontation, defense ministers and nato generals agreed that vladimir putin could be ready for confrontation with nato and the e. u. in $680.00 is if we take these assessments seriously, then that is the time for us to properly prepare and it is a short one. nathan member space have been increasing the defense spending are trying to meet the target of 2 percent of g d p. by the handle,
2:12 pm
but many true blog says that it is still not enough in the car in circumstances. he also insisted more weapons must be sent to you. train set demands echoed by the members of european parliament who voted to put patio and member states do. let's key of use long range weapons to stride deep into russia. are to contribute to reach of mass then reports on this. the. 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 bonded line. the legitimate embodiment of democracy really should be trusted. to judge what's legitimate or not . so what's the big deal about all 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 our country to strength and military support for ukraine, and to announce the collection of funds from the population of europe for the needs
2:13 pm
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 you 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 washer and 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 go ideologically 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 eu has a whole new set of hands,
2:14 pm
commissioners. and it's 1st ever defense commission. here's a little taste of what one might now call is 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 yeah, bernice. 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
2:15 pm
commissioner, kind of tell 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 your shot of all this reckless rhetoric that are still actually deliberating and weighing the potentially serious consequences of any escal atory action. and in case measure diplomatic rhetoric
2:16 pm
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 deep into 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
2:17 pm
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. now while there are some voices in the west warning against escalation, the british politician and heritage pots anita david cotton, has spoken out against giving key of the permission to 5 a you case tom shuttle nestled into russia. he also shed his views about increasing war rhetoric and the capabilities of his country's armed forces. what i would say, 1st of all, it is, is a very big difference between the citizens and the people in the country and the government. so escalating these war and have been doing for the last 2 and
2:18 pm
a half years against the which is in the senate seat and the sensibilities of most of the people that all the escalation to was this has been coming from may to countries. and in the sensible thing to do, would have been to just leave this conflict alone, allow the peace deal between russia and ukraine that was worked out in april 2022 to take effect. and then they would have been peace. we wouldn't have been fighting again for 2 and a half years, but there's being a nato countries of it successively given ukraine, howard says, and then add defend systems and then uh times and then talk comes weapons and now storm shadow weapons f sixteens and now they want to fire the cruise missiles interruption. so i mean, the escalation is being entirely on the part of may to
2:19 pm
kia salma is the new prime minister of the u. k. who is pushing to allow ukraine to use the storm shadow weapons notify in ukraine. all the areas that used to be in the crate and of course some of those areas are now russians. you've got probably, mia, they fight storm chatter, weapons, crimea, which is either voted to become part of russia. so that is a publication in itself. but now they did say you thing to fire these weapons into russia proper. and of course, that is another escalation in mind. you is an insane escalation because these would be british weapons with american components, of course being fired directly at russia. and it wouldn't just the ukrainian operatives, the reason why this would actually be a direct bring britson into direct conflict with russia is because you're going to have a british operatives of the nato operatives, nato countries,
2:20 pm
satellite systems, guiding them, so the ukrainians couldn't do it on the road and this is it across is a red line and, and it just is an insane escalation. i think the state of the armed forces in the u. k. is absolutely dreadful. i mean, the last moment of glory we had was the full cleans wall where, you know, i think that was a necessary conflict to um, stopped for the full twins from being taken by another country. because the people they wanted to remain british. but that was, and 32 years and sorry, 42 years ago now. and in the time the number of people in the army is reduced by hall. the number of you know, capable boats that we've got is going down by about 2 thirds. i think the air force is really not up to scratch as well, that there's no ad defense systems that we have against hypersonic weapons,
2:21 pm
which in you and which russia has very good stop called. so the con, the military in the u. k. may be able to defend the island of britain for a time, but it's not going to be able to send a foreign expedition referrals out to the board as opposed and or the board is mr way, india to do much of tool. so really, i think it, you, people who is sensible in the, on forces in may 2 countries, realize that we don't want to get into a wall with russia, and we shouldn't be why it's been a long log you in the west that's roches before was georgia. back in 2008 was the result of moscow's aggression. but now the car in georgia in front of minnesota has blown a v as option of pot the test. but the, but the sitting of it was not the issue of starting a war. but the issue of mutual forgiveness and reconciliation that enraged the
2:22 pm
radical opposition, as it contradicts the reason why the regime of national movement sort of completed an assignment from abroad and began the war and 20. 0 wait, it is exactly the reconciliation subject that this tragic for the radical opposition in once again confirms why the georgia dream should get a constitutional majority. once the issue of restoring territorial integrity is back on the agenda, the radical opposition will again follow the order from abroad and hinder the restoration of territorial integrity based started the war and 20 late didn't pay. so war broke out in 20 away and on august 7th, the former regime opened fire senior volley instructor severely himself signed up for it. that's not back in august 2008. george advocate the spade to all the start of a military operation to reclaim the break away of a public off. i've cause you and solve will say she has a big on to shell. the region being responds, russia sent its troops in to protect the residents, back of
2:23 pm
a conflict was over 8 and 5 days. and since then, moscow has recognized both brake away republics as independent area. my colleague nick air on this cost. this issue with the host of was a part of the boy who was a, corresponded in southwest asia when the war began. russia was extremely anxious about nathan being pushed towards russia's quarters. but that conflict was sort of the 1st opening salvo, all the major clash that acquires it's been kinetic force and ukraine. right now, i wasn't going to disconnect it from the big bullets expect down, but it was pretty clear on the ground who started the conflicts and the where the shells and this price for the city of king valley where i was, it was literally cut off from supply live, people didn't have much to it. people didn't have any ability to leave the city as you know, it was a major gamble by sa,
2:24 pm
katrina too. just saw that don't. okay. it's a little regional for them. if you can get away with whatever your political science has had at the time. so in the eyes of all settings, and what are your thoughts on these accusations from the, the current georgia department as are they fat? it takes place in a very interesting jo, political context that's relevant, both for georgia, obviously a frame. georgia is facing major problem mentor election. and this ruling party that they have is in favor of continue developing ties for the ego. but they also want to trade with russia. they want to have a balance policy with that own interest in mind. and they specifically said that we don't want to be used like your brain was used in the class between the 2 major powers. we want to trade with russia in russia is their 2nd largest trading partner . while, while the united states is only, i think, the divorce on the 5th, and they also continues and died in your integration. that is not acceptable to the west. it was doesn't want them to be, you know, sort of self focus,
2:25 pm
the self winded, minding their own interest. they want them to follow that very precise line. and that's why the pressure on george and leadership is extreme right now. the older european leaders, if you're in charge of the latest news, they accuse them of backsliding on democracy on becoming increasingly to tally, terry and alpha, you know, the being the worst possible political nightmare for georgia. simply because the judging leadership moved around and said, okay, great, we're in this neighborhood. we need to provide for our people. we need, you know, functional traits. we need relations with all neighbors. and we don't want to be a direct, battering ram or a battlefield for the united states to, you know, sort out. it's a issues with the russian. one of the leaders and the routing policy of georgia has said that the ortiz, they, they don't want big countries to you use the, was that, i mean, any national space, 1st and foremost of pursue the interest of that own people. sure, there are always,
2:26 pm
you know, dealings in geo politics. but the 1st, the 1st obligation, all fine, any political party is to people rather than you know, people in washington to pursue a very uh, you know, it was strange agenda that have, in my opinion, has nothing to do with the interest of the american people. and in fact, a couple of leaders in georgia sat the, it's not the political leaders in washington hor, spreading all those misinformation and lies about georgia increasingly becoming a search areas. the only garcia, the american corporate oligarchy, major in regards to the das, things that you know, are informed by the own concerns rather than the countries politics and close the whole. now, the 4th division women's farm is wrapped up in russia's northern capital of events
