is if it starts, there's going to be no way of stopping the the breaking news on off the international of his boss strikes the israel and the iron dunham is activated a by ross or of of a one. the 100 rockets are engaged. however, some do get approved for the city of hyphens. the rails northern front is emerging. i just really strikes rock, southern 11 on the adf ones, residents of nobody's relative. brace for a tally latoria thomas. if the army says we have only 10 minutes to take our belongings and leave the office so they can shut it down. and the idea is looking to control the narrative. it reads out of the zeros bureau in the west by having employees come talk to

the right, it's time for the week. we do it onto the national cuz we highlight the top stories of the week and all right now, because our top story is breaking news for you, this our live on oxy, israel and hezbollah had been engaged in fierce cross, bought a fire at the idea of says it targeted 400 launch sites in level as well uh 5 by proportionally hitting and his riley. uh, basically the city of hyphen ponds of the city is we can see here with gabriel on file the street. as of right now, we understand those casualties reported yes. is there any defense forces and i'll restricted people from gathering in the north of the country and due to the risk of rocket attacks earlier. and is there any strike on a residential building in the capital city? of bay route have killed $37.00 people,

including 3 children. we understand all most of 70. well, but, well, let's learn more of crossing is live right now to the capital city. a bad route is just off the non am this and there is a correspondent. yes, and i can, that's a good morning to you. we've been seeing a israel that has been exchanging strikes. what some of the latest details you have for us right now, is rory, it's always great to see you and good morning from the lebanese capital. well, for starters, this past week has been an event for one. the past 24 hours have been just as eventful on saturday. the idea of essentially carried out hundreds of strikes against the lebanese or sorry, hezbollah, physicians in the south of the country. and we understand that as well that has also carried out a series of attacks targeting positions in more than israel's. we do know that during the early stages of the war is real data evacuate, the northern settlements close to the border. but on saturday, late into the evening, the idea of essentially announced a restriction much like you mentioned earlier. the restriction in place of course

applies to areas in haifa, which has been north and there was a but quite deep into level is really territories. this is of course and uptick in escalation, and this came as a result of a week of attacks by these royalties. of course in the early stages of these attacks on tuesday and wednesday is really officials were quite sign that there was some sort of radio silence and it was believed to be for operational security the reasons on tuesday, wednesday, mobile can have communication devices were detonated and that was very little to say from because really side on thursday, but house, on most of the law, the leader of his beloved speaking is rarely fighter jets, were flying low into the lebanese capital form of psychological warfare. and on friday, when do you talk to place it demolished an entire residential building in da here. this is an area that is predominantly populated by has the law and has been lost supporters. but we need to understand that this is still a civilian area. it's a populous area, and the attack was of course, and discriminates targeting top commanders as well as top senior hezbollah

officials. but what we're looking at right now is, of course, the series of attacks that his law has taken over night. did of course results in some damage to infrastructure, the details of that are emerging. but the idea of has provided a statement, overnights suggesting that the attacks ethic is really defense forces carried out, was in response to retaliation by his will not for the bombings or maybe the end the tax earlier this week. idea if spokesperson, daniel has already have this quote that go from william overall today we struck approximately $400.00 has blog launchers, including thousands of rocket launcher barrels in accordance with the situational assessments and our operations. in the last few minutes to minister of defense signed a special order for the homefront. rockets and other threats maybe launch towards is really territory. in the near future, we ask you to strictly follow the homefront commands defensive guidelines for the attack. some has the law is known to be an initial wave of attacks and

a response to the bombings earlier this week. the i d f. and the military's of course attacks on southern positions and they've been on a, to an extent, has wife to the reaction of the retaliation. so we can expect more attacks over the course of the next 24 hours, if not the course of the next few days. but the attack on friday was a devastating one because we understand top commanders figures such as a but i'm lucky you were killed in that attack. it seemed to be a targeted assassination. but that did not, of course, take into consideration the collateral damage. that was also a part of this attack. we understand that the top commander and the senior figure of his beloved was of course, the head of the operations division of the military wing and a member of the job council. but in that attack, some 3 children were killed, women were killed, so civilians were, of course killed as a result of the attack. and the developments over the past few days, of course, comes as the cycle of escalation continues to build. and we understand that the

people of living on the people are bailed within the capital or on edge they are chance people are panicking in one sense of the word and to be capital for the most part is empty. many people have fled to say for areas to the north, but despite the fear, the people of 11 on the seem to be resilience and determined to stay within the country. but more importantly, or calling out for peace as opposed to war assistant to some of those voices. the destruction is terrible. it resembles the situation and gaza. what is happening in gaza is being repeated all over they root. israel is killing civilians. this only strengthens our results. on the jewel, those attacks on several parts of a root will not affect us as a people of resistance. we are used to this. my house was destroyed twice as a result of these rarely strikes. and it did not break us. on we are residents of this region. what is happening here is nothing new in the actions of the enemy is

real, which attacks civilians, it kills women and children. we are used to the crimes of the enemy, israel. these developments, of course, are concerning for a number of reasons, but the main important task here is to understand that the optic an escalation seems to be leading to a perpetual cycle of back and forth and tit for tat. and the general popular opinion is that the only way that any of this could be escalated out, or at least resolved in the best way possible, as for some form of diplomatic intervention. but it seems that the is really side is not interested as it carries out just in describing attacks against loving these positions, but more importantly, against civilian targets within the capital as well. that's um the here's what about side will not listen for reason either because the series of attacks was an organized attack. and it came at a time when the general campaign of the israeli defense forces was of course targeting civilians and gaza. so it seems that there is a pattern. we understand that the recent wave of attacks, of course,

did attract the attention of leaders across the world. search president are the ones essentially commented on the attacks of lebanon, and especially warning that this uptick and violence could lead to regional conflict a broader and protracted conflict. and he issued a number of statements suggesting call and headed this. and this was a statement provided by the church presidents the side which is the once again unfortunately is real estate right now to tax. not like a state like a terrorist organization due to the fact that they have now launch diesel attacks. in particular is a clear and explicit expression of this. with these attacks of israel has clearly demonstrated that it has no sensitivity to serialize. and as it will try own means to achieve its own. so hateful goals and other meaning of these attack is that the spice of the warnings is those conflicts are fortunately, spring to 11 and the region in general with the support of some western countries. the international community and especially western countries, would stop portion of this criminal actions of israel and take the turn steps for

to prove. the reaction is not limited to that of this statement alone. the charge president before boarding his plane and leaving to attend the 1790 un general assembly provided a statement to the members of the press. and essentially insinuating that some quoting, especially western countries seem to insist on not understanding as he was referring to, not understanding the developments on the ground, the realities on the ground, but more importantly, sensitivities involved in this conflict. but he was of course, showing that you would address this and insist on ensuring that those western allies do understand at one form or the other. and he said that he will, of course, bring this up in his speech at the un general assembly. but he was not alone, it runs for a minister upon arriving at j f k airport to attend that you in general assembly essentially highlighted very similar points addressing that this conflict is going is essentially troubling at that the observing of the escalation on

a daily basis as a matter of concern, we are, we, we expect to be around to address this matter as well. but the other reaction did come from the united states. now the us national security advisor jake sullivan issued a statement and highlighting the importance of the escalation. he said that he was worried, but within the same breath refer to the attack on friday that killed the senior hezbollah official as a quotes on quotes, uh good thing for the united states. and within the same breath, the us, us representative essentially said that disregarding the sensitivities involved in these developments, as well as the uptake an escalation. so it's going to be interesting to see how the different sides, the defense leaders and officials will address this issue at the un general assembly. because it seems that there are some leaders, some representatives within the broader and immediate middle east that understand the sensitivities involved. but there are others that are very far from the conflict that a rather chaste are of interest as opposed to the escalating ongoing situation here on the ground. probably. oh,

i live in bay rudo correspond today's yesterday. thank you. now is yes and has just mentioned that the fresh around a violence coming off the 2 waves of terrorism, the soul, thousands of pages on a walkie talkies simply explode across lebanon of this contest and operation blue to thousands of killed thousands including stability and 11 on his blame this unprecedented attack on israel reports claim must side is behind this mass of time . that's what it shows showing the off them off of the blast on the streets while a pop interrupted in flames. the walkie talkies that blew up on wednesday were originally made by a japanese fun. however, the manufacturer had denied any responsibility saying it's been a decade since the objects left. the assembly. the only cv, $82.00 is a handheld radio that was produced and exported, including to the middle east from 2004 to october 2014. it was discontinued about 10 years ago. and since then it has not been shipped from a company. the production of the batteries needed to operate the main unit has also

being discontinued and the hologram sealed to distinguish counts of products was not attached on the streets of 11 on i'm one of those guys are the favorite sites to those killed in the initial series. of page of gloss. and as those processions took place, got this. the 2nd wave of terror attack struck the ceremonies. we spoke with a john listening fe route described. okay. you had a walkie talkies explaining this time and, and the 82 and believe him batteries exploding also this time with solar energy panels and connected to lead teams also exploding which means a fire is not also people getting injured by these exposed things. so it was a horrific scene to, to just see a signed i have to get back home to disconnect the solar panels. i have to disconnect the beach and batteries. i took everything out of the house that has, that can possibly have any kind of lead team and it's i'm, i'm operating with my phone at the moment. i not sure if this one has one or not,

but i'm pretty sure we're safe so far. but we really never know because what's being said at the moment that because i was reading the uh, i was missing reports from the people with this this 1st time they were saying that people had the 82 walkie talkies that they bought 10 years ago. so this might be something different than what you saw yesterday with the pager. so this might actually be some sort of an internet, a ways connected infiltration communication systems to designate them from afar, a using radio waves. so this is a technology that we've never seen before. and it's an o out terrorism, this is not terrorism. i really don't know what it means. i think us says it has nothing to share while there are reports of israel in full and fortune to them and choose to about his plans for this uh, operation. and i've been on washington seems to be distancing itself painting its intelligence agencies was somehow left out of the so i can tell you is we were not involved in yesterday's incidence or today's in any way. and i don't have anything

more share, nothing more to add on these instances. i, i, i understand the question about getting gauge and type of set of goals or speculate about what did or didn't happen or, or who might be response. is there any for intelligence assessment as to i'm not going to get into intelligence as estimates and assessments from here either. yeah, no surprise, that meantime is lebanese authorities left to reveal the source? the news offered our my a, b and has cited security services which say the type of explosives used in the page were attack what completely new saying the material couldn't even be detected by traditional x rays. use an international apple. it's meanwhile, the time when he is page, a manufacturer of gold, apollo, it was denied any involvement in the time knowing it didn't make the pages as they are not labeled made in taiwan. for companies founder says he license his trademark to a hung gary and company called b, a. c consulting 3 years ago. however,

budapest said that the firm is simply a re seller with no production capacity in the country. the home gearing governments position on the page or issue authorities have confirmed that the company in question is a trading intermediary with no manufacturing or operational site in hungry. it has one manager, registered edits declared address, and the reference devices have never been in hungry. the founder of the i see consulting repulsively told the media that they don't make the pages and they've just a middleman a global policy through member george somebody where they actually visited this office in budapest. and what he found was a place that seemingly backs the b c statement that there's no capability to make. and the thing on site have a listen to this. as you can see the from behind me, this is a very much a residential neighborhood. so that could be, office space is here,

but it's essentially residential or of families living here. there is no way a tool that anything could be manufactured here. big questions i us about about this company. now, one thing to keep in mind is that while the website was taken down, the link in the page for the company is still up. and you could look at the links in page. it's not a pto plan that this company does anything for. oh is that is familiar at all for a double. do i absolutely meaningless and gives you no indication that tool of what it is that this company does. so it looks like a rather of a phony uh, company set up in order to be upfront for some kind of transactions. but there's no, no sense. it's all that this is anything other than a front for something, a holding company or shell company,

whatever. but it doesn't look, it's a little like a, it's a company that does any kind of a business, performs any kind of a service. meanwhile, in the west bank idea of soldiers rated and shut down the office of i'll just 0 this in ramallah early sunday. well, i'll just share a film the moment they bureau was breached. as the army says, we have only 10 minutes to take our belongings and leave the office so they can shut it down and then sell out of the the office will be closed for 45 days. and that's the, the, the, what is the reason most of the reason is in the statement, you can have a look at the dentist. let me know that give us a copy of it. let me know. see, i will keep a copy of the statement with you and for any concerns or issues. you can go and speak to our ministry. come on, bobby army headquarters. what it, what was expected is ready officials that already threatened to close down that office details and back in april, the kinetic possible allowing the temporary shutdown of foreign media that it says

quote, strengthens the nation's security. and i'm on top of that, israel's cabinet vote. it's a bad analogy there in the country. this office in east jerusalem was a 1st to be swift fleet club. the palestinian media office in gaza, condemn them in the occupations decision disprove for the weakness and fragility of these rarely narrative in the face of tooth and sockets on the ground. i'll just see what has succeeded in presenting a unique media model over many years. we're calling all costs unions and bodies to come down this heinous crime and resulting scandal. we're calling all media outlets in general is around the world to declare a full solidarity with all to 0. the immediate crackdowns not just happening in israel tick tock because all of a sudden pulled the plug in, deleted the accounts of all the international and split neck coming just a he's off the washington celebrated a civil, a band by meta. well, that's

a big got the dirty details here. my colleague shot a duplicate, discussing it with investigative journalists, are allowed to our very own shape books or whatever else anyone wants to say. but what this is, this is about attempts to crush any narrative that doesn't fit in with the main item that comes with these allegations that the ortiz part of the misinformation campaign linked to russian intelligence. until the blinking saying that, you know, we're in, in green part of the russian inside of the machine. absolutely ludicrous stuff claiming that this is an attack on democracy. this undermines democracy. so we're gonna press free speech because democracy is being undermined. as far as i was aware, suppressing free speech and criticism of your point of view was all part of the democracy. what it seems, it's a la carte added you to democracy in the us right now. and very interesting the. what are the people that they roll down from the state department, among the allegations of the or to be too close to the stays here. and russia is

a good call. james reuben, a. james has a very colorful background himself. j. s. was a, an editor for political effort. bloomberg, so we spend most of his working life working in the commercial media. we also know that the us media has been holidays by the intelligent services for, for decades. you know, the church commission, we've seen, you know, operation mocking. we're in a huge c, a operation to infiltrate the media. we don't wanna talk about that though, of course, because that's the inconvenient. well, it sort of listen to james, basically explaining to ortiz is 2 influential or arguments or 2 gould, eh, because they actually convince people that a proxy war might not be a good idea and you try and turn remote might not be a good idea over. so sorry, i think basically admits that you've asked question for matt, for months and months about you know, the global south and why there's not more support for ukraine in this part of the middle east, or that part of latin america or this part of africa. well, one of the reasons not the only reason,

but one of the reasons why so much of the world has not been as fully supportive of ukraine as you would think. they would be given that russia has invaded ukraine and violated real number one of the international system is because of the broad scope and reach of r t. we're proud again to just information and allies are spread to millions, if not billions of people around the world. anybody watching just can see what's happening. what the game is here are to use a stone and issue of the narrative of the west. and this is about shutting down anybody challenging that? essentially? cuz it's clear to me that the us government is, is going to be watching our team because is interested in what we have to say. also, of course, on millions, it's not with billions of people around the world of going back to fix, talk itself. it's come monday, shoot pressure of late from the us government. this is a after joe biden signed into law, this idea that it has to divest and become part of the,

the us establishment sent to you what's going to be banned. do you think that this latest move this binding of all tea's account and also of the russian major accounts has come as a surprise? well, i don't think it's a surprise. i mean remember um take talk is a, a big chinese company. i think quite done since the name of the company they've had the exceptional pressure in the usa. they're c o, you know, interrogated and from the committees, all these kind of base us allegations against them truly because they're chinese. and again, because so many young americans are getting their news and their information from take talk. they kind of controlled on narrative centrally in the us. it's on cnn abc, m s nbc. all the client media are very worried about this because there's a potential for people to actually find out what's going on. now let's have a listen to senator mack warner at talking about that actually revealing. the reason we want to, you know, we've, a problem to take talk isn't. uh, because that there a line,

it's probably because they're telling the truth of this. and we've seen the rise in my center will be on i have been on the lead on this all i for known platform that has a huge reach in the case of tip top. that has huge national security concerns and very, very glad over 80 percent of both the house and the senate voted to say, create a platform shouldn't be ultimately controlled by the ccc. ccp the numbers 304050 percent of 18 to 24 year olds, get all of their news of the vast majority. and there's some tick tock. and again, i just do not accept the notion, but just independent creators. there are algorithms that shift what you see, how much you see. yeah. so as to why, you know, take a felt now they have to do this. you can imagine the pressure they've been underneath the course there, a company working in an american environment and they have to comply with the local laws regardless of ridiculous those laws are, what is all part of a concerted efforts. of course, it's no surprises coming in an election cycle. surprise, surprise,

a little insurance policy may be in the back pocket for kamala harris if she doesn't do well. like, remember, this all began to 2016 where we had hillary clinton coming on saying i lost the election to donaldson because the russians did as that was investigated. and guess what? there was obviously note from to it. so smell of hypocrisy of this. it's not surprising and you know, we're not surprised that take talk of how to, you know, comply, it is very oppressive. the land of the free. yeah, no surprise i picked up by him, comes off to facebook out a meta band, a t, you know, the russian media accounts on monday, signing the you sold deceptive tactics to carry out covert influence or pumps or the it's just so ridiculous. pride to the ban on it, so you have more than get this. we have 7000000 follows on facebook, and what over a 1000000 follows on instagram as well. when we were talking with the old overall

google archipelago, the digital google, i get really disturbing. but by the way of both a michael rectinwald's, he says that those who try to control the narratives are never on the right side of history. if in fact uh they continue banning um such accounts as our 10 sputnik and, and go further and uh, banning any kind of alternative perspectives. uh, this will cause we use who are very much getting their news from takes off and some from instagram. these people will want to research what's going on, and this will pull back through the open the hood and let them see what's underneath and who's running the show here. well, the people that do censorship, that's impress information that attempt to control the narrative. they're never the good guys. these are the, these are the people that are anti democratic even though they run around and say that they are promoting democracy and that russia and r t in particular are

a threat to a month democracy. everything they say is the inverse of the truth. i mean democracy thrive. so under a great deal of controversy and a great deal of information, it is required that people have information in order to make informed decisions in a democracy. so this is anti democratic, screwing through everything they say is the reverse of the truth by before we get to the last day to the wrapping up the program here at all to you, at least 19 people reportedly killed in 17, enjoyed following a gas explosion in a mine in their rounds of south side as on province, a visit with the codes saturday evening. the situation is still developing and as we understand 13 people are still track of the incident report of the cause. the nice thing gas that exploded in the coal mine will keep you posted here both on air and online. so would you wrap up the program? just recapping a couple of stories for you right now. take talk drops. let's see. and suppose nick

smith, social media platform, off the facebook and instagram own up meta recently kicked us off as well because the fact is worse than government started a one to a hearing. what we're saying here on, i'd say, is we continue to grow cost live in the russian federation, most sanction country in the world. the hello and welcome to worlds a part of almost 40 years ago when the united states and the soviet union and were ultimately pursuing a doctrine of mutually assured destruction. english thinkers, thing compulsive, now, legendary heath about the russians who hopefully loved their children to

a few months ago, the american nuclear adoption was extended to include not only of russia, but also china and north korea. what does it mean in practical terms? and is it still a given me a share the same biology regardless of ideology? i'll discuss that them now and join by ted postal professor emeritus of science technology, a national security policy at mit. i'm former scientific advisor to the u. s. chief of naval operations. professor postal, it is great to have you on the show. thank you very much for taking the time. well, thank you very much for having me. uh, i think that the discussion between the russians and chinese and americans is a very good thing to be doing. and i'm very upset as an american citizen, i should say that the united states is not talking to russia and china about these important issues. well,

let's have this discussion between the 2 of us. i know that you're very concerned about an accidental nuclear war between russia and the united states on lots of mid the fraud history between our countries has known quite a few examples of technical malfunctions which made that the risk very high. but during the cold war, both the leadership of the 2 countries, um, often times the commanders on the ground were seen enough to think twice, not to rush into the confrontation, is something like this were to happen today, some sort of technical glitch. do you think the response would be the same? well, i think um that, uh, the possibilities are more and more serious in terms of the dangers. there are 2 aspects to this situation. one is of course the technical capabilities and limitations of each of this of so let me focus on russia

and united states of each side. and the other has to do with the behavior of the leadership. and of course, the military organizations that are supposed to be following the orders of the leadership on both sides. i've had a very considerable to experience speaking with the russians on this. and i want to start out by saying that i do not have great confidence in the sobriety and the professionalism of both the russian military and the russian political leadership. this is not a partisan thing. i'm saying i'm saying this as an analyst because i have watched and i've had interactions with the american political leadership. and i am very worried that the american political leadership.
