the, the has blown cheese or tell of restoring. so if it is rel, uh again, these are all of the wave of communication device explosions as well. president thing says choose country wasn't involved in those deputies law. by the time any connection to this, all of that sort of operation is ready present. his opinion, however, differs from the prime ministers, is next to me, all the promises from truck with tax stones has a lot as well as northern front is emerging, is as strikes basses, stuff in life, and leaving dozens of people that take talk,

polls the blogs on r. c, the social media john deletes are account to me the us government crackdown own russian news. the welcome to the weekend here now to international plenty to bring you this out. particularly developments in the mid least on the story that we've been covering throughout the week. thank you for tuning and well, we'll start with that stop story. this allen. the fact this is riley has blah have been engaging in face exchange of cross bowed up on us. has the law reported they hate? it is rarely as a city of the city of casa, and it will tell us we strike parts of the city rose to damage. as you can see here, there was smouldering day. you free in the streets. they haven't seen any reports of any casualties yet. so the lebanese group's military problem says that loan's

due for a 100 rockets against israel. and this was in response to recent idea for tax on 11 on the initial response to the brutal attack committed by the is really enemy on tuesday and wednesday in various parts of 11 on the pager and wireless devices massacre. hezbollah targeted the military industry, complex's of rafael, a company specializing and equipment and electronics, located in the zebulon area, north of haifa, with dozens of 4142 and cut to use of missiles. while there was a series of deadly pager explosions across slapping on in recent days, archie said he's 37 people killed. and around about 3 and a half 1000 injured as communication devices they were holding just suddenly exploded. is, was present. i the codes. okay. i didn't know it any, is there any involvement and said has the law has many and it's every

assumed that as well, security forces what behind the expert thing pages in walkie talkies last week or whoever was behind those that those attacks. they could not possibly be sure even if they were aimed at the people you've just illustrated. they could not be sure of who was going to be in the room in the chair at that point for us to lie or reject our. busy hand, any a connection to this, all that source of operational let's cost live down to all these corresponding yes. an ac and using a rate for us. thanks for joining us. yes. and you've heard that what these really presidents have to say do other is really officials inquiry homeless? no, not at all. it seems that the statements that are coming out of 10 of you are contradicting

one another while the is where the president says that is will have no involvement . other officials such as israel's prime minister says that they did have involvements. and some of the theories that are gaining traction over the course of this past week suggests buttons really intelligence actually how to, how to play. and all of this on tuesday and wednesday, one pages and 2 way radios were a tucked. this left some sort of a void in communications for his belie, especially in his senior command. and this essentially led to a face to face an in person meeting. and on fridays, we are periodontal strikes. targeting said officials to be on the center, but i'm ok. it was a part of the wasn't in the building when these ravens attacked it and essentially demolished it. and the other series, of course that's the attack that took place, wasn't on just it's of course to take out number of a number of his beloved visuals. but what we're looking at is a massive attack, which was indiscriminate towards hezbollah members as well as civilians. and the is really prime minister. benjamin netanyahu has actually to the subject come forth

and confirmed that isabel did, in fact take a part of it. and it seems to be pretty proud of less as to what he had to say. oh, the last few days we inflicted on hezbollah a sequence of blows that he did not imagine. if his bullet has not understood the message, i promise you will understand the message we are determined to return our residence in the north so safely to their homes. of course, over the past week, the made the mass of attacks resulted in an overwhelmed health infrastructure. within the country, hospitals were overwhelmed. doctors were working around the clock for a number of days and that also resulted in the backlog of patients that the health industry is trying to sort out. this next week is going to be an important next week because we understand that most of the appointments that were reserved for this past week when the attacks took place has been postponed. so the medical sector is still trying to handle this influx of patients. how about we also

understand that while this is happening, lebanon is holding funerals for those that were killed in the pedro blasts, or just last week. and this is going to be, of course, important moving forward because we understand israel is trying to carry it out. attacks on thursday when the leader of has the last on us with all of us providing a prerecorded device. broadcast is where the fighter jets were flying low in the capital available, just actually carrying a psychological boyfriend while these attacks are ongoing. so people have living on say that they are standing strong, that they will stay resilience and these attacks will not wait for their dr. let's a sense of what some of the people have living on have to say in that respect. a lot of no matter how much they strike us, we do not waiver we remain steadfast and continue on this path regardless of the consequences or outcomes. we will be victorious, god willing of. so nothing will affect us, even if they kill all our leaders or do anything else, it won't change us and we will continue on this path. even if we all fall as martyrs, we will never abandon most of the reaction from the people of libyan on suggest

that they are in a position where they will stand ready to no matter what the outcome will be before the massive wave of attacks data back to the early onset of this campaign that is real, right? especially brought forth towards the people of gaza and now to the people. 11 on the people were questioning whether israel would enter the lebanese territories, whether more was a possibly it was a matter of, if not when, but that possibility seems like it's more of a matter of when and not if israel is in a position to carry a larger and protracted call of campaign against the people of lebanon. looking at some of the development level developments over the past 24 hours. we understand that israel has carried out more than $400.00 strikes against the southern positions targeting has been the launch of sites. there has been a retaliation in that respect towards gordon is rarely territories. and this back and forth will continue because these really administration says that they're in a position where they want to force has a lot further north, essentially away from his father, establishing a buffer zones,

a safe zone. and of course, the has will last side says that they are in a position where they will not allow that to happen. and as, as back and forth continues, as world leaders can be up to you in general assembly, there is a lots to be discussed. but as the developments on the ground suggests, we may be running out of time for a broader and more protracted complex, especially within the southern parts of the loveliest country. thanks for bringing this up station. not that se, correspondent. yes. and i couldn't force on the ground in be weight. well, one of the questions is really being aust, as well other states could have possibly being behind those attacks the pages blowing up the walkie talkies other than is when all the us in june was david, sorry to who's in bay where it says that for him it is clear that israel was the one that conducted the attacks the when we talk about an attack this big of this sophisticated, we need to look into capabilities. whereas the capabilities to carry out such an

attack. so we're talking about the enemies of as below who know and then also front the isis to exactly has the capabilities to take out such a big, complicated attack. and then we're going to factually provided these uh features. one thing is clear that the was, is where behind the attack and many is really so officials responsibility support and said that it was, uh, yeah, they would want a lot bigger uh tasks to call. so you know, if it was like a dog starts like a duck, it's pretty much it not. this is a very intense part, or just a period of the conflict where we don't know where it's going right now. but to no side is backing down and it's very clear, no site can back down at this moment. so we'll have to see where it goes. but in terms of retaliation, has mala has been standing as ground. if you remember, uh the uh is really official said that if i buys bombs and they go to the bottom

and the very next day as well, a phone type. and that shows that. yeah, we're not backing down. they're not going to take a step back and they're not going to be intimidated. well, meanwhile, officials in washington plane, they have nothing to shed. there are reports of these well informed washington on tuesday about it's planned for an operation in lab and on the us seems to be distancing itself from next, claiming it's intelligence agencies, what's left out of the loop. 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 i have a 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. well,

the news outlets l maya gene has social security services which say the type of explosions that used in the pedro attack were completely new. planing the material couldn't even be detected by traditional x rays if we use that an international effort. meanwhile, the taiwanese page, a manufacturer, a business called gold depaulo, has denied its involvement in the attack. nursing they didn't make the pages because they're not labeled made in taiwan. the companies find that says he license who's trademarked to a hun, garron company. that's cool. b, a c consulting and that was 3 years ago. however, budapest says that the firm is simply a re seller with no production capacity in the country for whom 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. but the founder of the i see consulting has reported. they told me to that they told me the page is the just the middle and blue book policy institute member george son wiley visited its office in the past. and what he finds, you said was a place that seemingly box the statement by d. i see that there's no capability to manufacture anything on site. 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 a residential or a family's living here. there is no way a tool that anything could be manufactured here. big questions i asked about this company. now one thing to keep in mind is that was the website was taken down the link in the page for the company's fill up. and you could look at the links in page

it's, it's not a pto plan that this company does anything for oh, is the, is the familiar corporate doubled the goes um, 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 a little like a, it's a company that does any kind of a business, performs any kind of a service. well meanwhile in the west bank, are the soldiers rated and shot down the be we're about to 0 in ramallah early on sunday. according to the news outlet is really forces by t a gas in the vicinity of its office state destroyed equipment,

unco investigated documents. i'll just a rough bill. the moment that 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 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. so let me know and i can 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 bob, beyond me, headquarters. well, it was expected because this really officials, i do ready, so i can to close down the office back in april, the connected pass, the new allowing a temporary shut down to for need do that. it says right? the nations to receive a month off of that, as well as the cabinet vote seems to find out as we were in the country and its

office in east jerusalem was the 1st to be closed. the policy, i mean we do offer. seeing garza hudson's conduct the human, 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 medium model over many years. we're calling all process 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 solo diversity with all to 0. what we heard from a professor of political science. it's a big sike university, there's a side anemia from ramallah. they said that the main reason for this craft down on alger 0 is it's coverage of the goals, which he says often goes against these way. need state narrative exploits here for us that you are exposed to some of the crimes that we just by do so i show each

just last week when they. busy have for the show we use are you always always fun. these guys do the most of the one of the reviews. and i also last yesterday that when they also do show an image in just person like story for him and, and the drones, the action was, well, you have to be go. he was just that $44.00 and he was not even harmed or is it so these kinds of actions would be added to the buyers over the i see, see what the committee grimes. i'm good so it judge and. busy you know, jewel sides so. busy these are all these kinds of views

and in fact in these, right, which is some of these items be 90 countries in the cabinets in the acquisition of this no additional cost. they're just gonna go there to prevent and the coverage on this station now is the one which they see there is where it is not only by raising the human rights. and they literally all kinds of laws and rules are due to the beach, the making kind of g, germany, a word goes, every media crack sounds on just happening. it is rel, though, the social network takes off because pull the plug and deleted the accounts of all the international on sputnik. this was just days off. the us impose sanctions against russian news outlets. it will take talk, has long been under immense pressure from the us as a chinese or to ship this just because us it will make is of sorts of rain in the

platform voicing fees, things to could fall into the hands of the chinese government. yet these concerns remain unsubstantiated, lacking any concrete evidence or conformation. lady ca, joe biden did sign a new paving the way the social networks actually being banned. this was unless it was sold to a us national we'll take talk is not the only platform that's coming on. the pressure of the us government is co op. c and it's sizes. i'm sure you're aware and it appears that message is towing the line message platforms have joined washington's crusade against all networks. shutting us down on facebook and instagram this past week that comes off to the us state department called for a world wide band on a number of russian media outlets over alleged election meddling us officials have not shied away from extending full gratitude to mess up for biting by dimensions,

putting quarterly understands if he wants to try to undermine support american support for ukraine, weighing in and, and frankly, putting up fake information can help him in that matter. we've seen a ran dramatically increase their efforts to stoke social dis, court discordant us. while again, potentially seeking to shape elections, 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 interested in this subject helped move you yesterday when you guys decided to take down our tea and related russian influence operations to. well, the allegations that matter is done the thing to the, to know the us state department of the ground for quite a while. now, mountains that the bug cuz open the voice whose frustrations about the men's

pressure that span existed behind the body didn't administration on his company. aussies editor in chief of the band isn't surprising at all because she is so if this matter is a porn in the hands of the oval office, the band was entirely to be expected. the rep shutdown of our accounts and bill, facebook and instagram, along with those say best organizations masquerading. his information platforms was no surprise. i wouldn't like even tongue down from saying they should have never been allowed into russia. from the moment they were permitted in, they should have been expelled as they serve merely as the left heel of american intelligence agencies and what is often called the american deep state. naturally, the bank comes up to the deep state represented by its funding. the state department labeled us as the well stop spies and america's primary fellows and something. i generally appreciate the key reason the world does not uniformly support ukraine,

is the primary reason they believe the internationalization of russia has failed. and by numerous countries, either remain neutral, opened the back russia, the impact of r t. they may have close be at another door in us, but will find another entrance window, or even a crack in the floor will continue our work, no matter what. but washington's prussia isn't what's come find into its own boat as it so far tried and failed to convince many major pounds too. in that similar bonds, india is one example of bass, but it's reportedly refused to back the us on the issue. according to new delhi officials quoted by local media, it doesn't support the new actual measures without un approval. here's what an american little boy said, well, trying to push washington's agenda. and the governments of the united states defers to the government of india and the governments of other countries to make their own determination of and accreditation procedures for these entities. the us would

welcome all countries and taking similar actions as the united states government has well, my colleague rachel rubel ali, i had the views of a south africa and m p on methods shut down of all the making some very interesting points in not in to be and also south africa is media regulation committee has been waiting on this issue of the media review network condemns the brazen violations of press freedom by meta the parent company of what's up facebook and instagram. the self proclaimed bastions of free speech and freedom of expression. have chosen to use social media outlets to play geo politics against russia. freedom of the price is only applicable in the west if $1.00 chooses to maintain service to the forces of empire metal banning of r t and others as testament to this fact. freedom of the press has always been a mis. people must be able to make choices based on an informed decision,

whether it's going to be exposed to all the information that expose them to multiple multiple perspectives on each. but they're not surprised because even before we mentioned that we have tons of optic allstate using this information with stories, one of the verified with an intentional trying to manipulate fundamental platform. in particular, especially facebook. because the models of off it can be and especially of ordinary citizens, the photo this media platform. so to try it and manipulate outcomes to time. obviously as posters, because some of the modification that takes place, it's about opinion polls, which are not verified. authenticated, would you find that this platform is age condition people to have a teacher outcome of the election which says for example, does not support a west. the true wisdom agenda would be demonized using those platforms. and as long as that happens to a lot of people are not the u. s, it's not appropriate. it's okay. as long as it provides

a punitive view to what the us wants to put forward as another to globally then, then all the principles of democracy. so called fly out of the needle in favor of trying, trying to protect and pulling people out on the world and protecting dangerous. james reuben, who is the coordinator of the us state department, global engagement center, put out a statement. let's take a listen real quickly to what he had to say. what we're hoping to do to this diplomatic campaign is to inform the world, and that's where we hope to have success by informing the world of who these people really are. what they really do, how they use their, their offices and their tv capabilities, to try to get governments around the world to change their policies. other countries will make decisions for themselves. but we certainly hope when they make those decisions. and that's what we're doing about it. we're trying to expose so that we can disrupt their activities by helping other governments come to their own decisions about how to treat this, this non television station activities and the propaganda and lies that come out of

our tea. it's incredibly pop, promising to other countries say you don't have capabilities to still got a hold intelligence. utica you'd be required services of be proud that may be taught to be able to do that. but the other issues, if they have an issue with meta and rather a t s and then because why that must have been global agenda to try and block or do a t instead of them dealing with that issue intentionally and having even having bilateral engagements if they can, with that i shift to actually to kind to the contents what they want. we want to make the problem was no, do you want to actually, this tend as if you still have a disagreement of issues with the last year. the whole world must have been an issue of f t full, not bbc news presenter issue. edwards is gone no with a suspended sentence. this is on monday or early this week. so avoiding prison time, this is of the he admitted possessing decent images of children off his

correspondent mamma is shot reports on this. and instead of being locked up, it seems that some people files in the u. k. are free to roam around as they wish. previously popular and trusted bbc presenter hue edwards walked out of the court room on monday with the suspended sentence, even after admitting to sourcing sexually explicit images of children as young as 7 edwards who was the bbc as high as paid presenter pleaded guilty in july to having 41 in decent images of children, he was arrested back in 2023 on suspicion of serious offences and was charged with 3 pounds of making in decent images of children. yet at the same time, he still managed to get a 10 percent raise from the b c that year. that is the spice not working much

following the allegations. edwards is now given a 6 month suspended sentence for pay and convicted. bit of files, alex williams. hundreds of pounds in exchange for 41 in appropriate images of children. it is clear from the face of the what's up chat recovered the deal of the chat between alex williams and mr. edwards with sexual in nature. it is also clear that mr. edwards was paying not insignificant sums of money, low hundreds of pounds on an occasional basis to alex williams, which mr. williams directly asked for on several occasions as gifts or presence. apparently off the back of sending pornographic images to mr. edwards, about which images they chatted. alex williams has stated that the money was more generally to support him at university and amounted to around 121500 pounds. you would think that after such a crime, he would spend some time behind bars. but know, the reason he gets to be a free man. well, the court says that they definitely believe his remorse to be genuine,

but most importantly, that he's mental health at the time of the offences. good to have him parents use decision making. there was a realistic prospect of rehabilitation and strong personal mitigation in particular your neuro vulnerabilities at the time and your remorse, which i accept is genuine and apply mental health due to the cold. it 19th and demick, according to his lawyer, seems to be reason enough to commit and be complicit in child abuse. to make matters worse, the judge also decline to make the sexual hon prevention order against edwards. so that's the way just this works in new k to edwards will not receive a custodial sentence and is still entitled to a large bbc pension. now one of the public has lost faith in our institutions. so again, such legal institutions really be trusted but also in russia now we're 90, will also adults cross procession that has been taking place in the most go region

. it's dedicated to a historic member of the russian loyalty known for acts of charity and for lunch, for free will during the annual event, participants of the divine lit state home prize and have communal meal, the mulch owners turn of the century grand duchess elizabeth for developing this takes place from dusk, i don't until task the lot. so this home we have for your round up pay on the weekly this hour do stay tuned here and on the international the another chance to catch the latest episode will support with a sign up. we come back the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a

robot must obey the orders given by human beings accept. we're such orders at conflict with the 1st law show alignment of a should. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence as the point obviously, is to trace a trust. rather than to the job. i mean with artificial intelligence. we have somebody in the theme and the robot most protects this phone existence was alexis, the hello and welcome to worlds apart. almost 14 years ago when the united states and

the soviet union.
