see the social media, join delete zora can submit the us government crack down on the russian news. the thanks very much for joining us this sunday evening here in moscow. this is oxy international and this is the weekend. but our top story, this hour is where island has been law have been engaging in a fish exchange of cross bowed up. far has below, reportedly hate the news ready? uh, basically the city of haifa, in a retaliatory strike. so this is the part. so this is a rule so damaged as you can see right now there was smoldering day. you for you in the streets that have been no reports of any casualties yet. the lebanese group's ministry punch that it looks over a 100 rockets a game as well. in response to recent all idea attacks on the left

the an 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 the missiles. well, there was a series of deadly page, your explosions cross slap and in recent days, storage. he said that at least 37 people were killed. and around 3 and a half 1000 injured as the communication devices, they were holding just something exploded, as well as present isaac code. so it has denied any is ready involvement and says has the law has many enemies it's ever assumed that if the security forces were behind the exploding pages and 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 just illustrates it, they could not be sure of who was going to be in the room in the chair at that point fly or reject our. busy hand, any a connection to this, all that source of operation we uh here simply to defend ourselves. that's all we do. and we make clear that we have to take action like any normal nation will do like britain or do or any of the sovereign nation. and all that to defend its people seems that the statements that are coming out of some of these are contradicting one another while the is really present and says that is will have no involvement. other officials, such as israel's prime minister, says that they did have involvement on him. in the last few days,

we inflicted them 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, safely to their homes. overlooking at is a massive attack which was indiscriminate towards hezbollah members as well as civilians. the mass of attacks resulted in an overwhelmed health infrastructure within the country, hospitals were overwhelmed. the 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. how about we also understand that while this is happening, lebanon is holding funerals for those that were chilled in the pedro blasts of the people of livid on say that they are standing strong, that they will stay resilience and these attacks will not waver their drive. no matter how much they strike us, we do not waver. we remain steadfast and continue on this path, regardless of the consequences or outcomes. we will be victorious, god willing my, my sort of thing and i see nothing will affect us. even if they kill all our

leaders or do anything else it change us. we will continue on this past fall, even if we all fall as martyrs. we will never abandon this course. the reaction from the people of lebanon suggests 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 dating back to the early onset of this campaign, that is real, right? especially brought forth towards the people of gaza. and now to that people, 11 on the people were questioning whether israel would enter the lebanese territories by the war, was a possibly, it was a matter of, if not when. but that possibility seems like it's more of a matter of when looking at some of the development level of 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 northern is fairly territories. and this back and forth will continue because it is really administration says that they are in a position where they want to force has a lot further north, essentially go 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 lot to be discussed. but as the developments on the ground suggests, we may be running out of time for a broader and more protracted conflict, especially within the southern parts of the country. while it stay with a story now costs life to lydia kane, and here's the lebanese senior. so i to humanitarian activist, i'm the member of the international advisory council of the academic university for known of violence and human rights. a pleasure to have you join us here on archie international. i'm just going to start off by asking you about the events this week in let them know and, and specifically those pages that went off unexploded, killing, almost 40 people. what was your reaction when you heard about what was happening in

your country? um, 1st of all, thank you very much for having me. um, when i heard about it, it was horrible. rash like more horrors. um and we are all wondering how much can we, you know, with the lebanese population endure. i was born raised in google during a bloody, as like conic imported in post civil war on 11 on and not a single day passed by, you know, without us, you know, enduring power and terror. so it was, it was panic, all over the entire country, and most people are advocating and holding their devices and wondering is it gonna explode now in my handle, what do you know? they manage to put the entire population in a state of panic. unprecedented. you know, and, and we thought that we,

our generation that have lived through war and went through so many phases of terrorism. one after another. that one can add that to things like that. but it's wanting to never adapt to such exceptional situations. never. i just want to ask you what your thoughts are on what the goal could to being on the whoever it was the organized beside patasha organize these explosions. well, i mean, it is definitely too, um, it's an act of terrorism. most importantly, it one has to noted as such because it is an act of terrorism against the solver in state against level. and it is to inflict, you know, casualties and best and the terror amongst the entire population.

and so this is, what is terrorist does actually, this is it has all the, all the prince, all the prince of what a terrorist is and, and what is he capable of what they are capable of? i mean, i heard so many mothers being terrorized trying to unplug the monitor of their baby and unplug some household devices because they did not know what is going to, you know, expose and whatnot. so you know, everybody was panic. so unfortunately they did achieve their goal is to terrorize an entire population that you talk to so eloquently about the fear that people in life and on have experienced this week. you took that about the mothers unplugging . maybe you've known that just in case there's both. so then sabotaged, i'm yes and household appliances, which is insane to even think of. i'm unplugging a microwave unplugging washing machine. i mean, if people started to panic,

you know, it's, it's, it's insane. the whole country was in, in, in a hysterical mood. at the same time, i just want to bring you some of the headlines we've seen in western media outlets . and the way that they've been discussing is, i think, folks news describe this as being spect, kayla. regarding what this apparent is, radio operation was a we had no similar uh supposed to be brilliant. and in the washington post as well . i mean, why is it a way to more or leave, but you have got big networks. big news organizations in the west. uh we g ring this up as if it was some amazing fee a complete i mean, there is no western media, i can assure you, and i've set it over and over during every single speech that i have delivered at the united nations, the human rights council in geneva,

during their major sessions, there is no western need. yeah, it's a joke. you know, be so cold need your are the miles full. i'll be and brought this intelligence agencies from the c i a to the n, a say to all of these western shady intelligence, you know, they tell them what to say and what not to say, you know, and they can no longer insult people's intelligence. my calling themselves major western media, that's a full freedom of speech. you know, and it's a, they, they've all been on, my gosh, all, what's happening in gauze, all the genocide happening and goes a, has mask the entire western hemisphere and their media. we know that with notes in winks that heads below was clearly the target behind these explosions. it was 1st of all the pages and then also the walkie talkies the next

day. but it is clear that these are devices, but civilians also may have holes. we know pages here, political stuff in the hospital, so different not we advocate so loosely was not taken into account, but civilians golf course. so be talking to actually this is, this is what they want it and they achieved it. and let me tell you that his bala is the resistance, is lebanese resistance and other than they are literally winged. they have a political ring. they are represented democratically in the, in the parliament, in the they have many, a parliamentarian members. they have a government's ministers, they also run schools, hospitals, and they support so many charities. so a lot of mothers where it's where, where we're coming from grocery stores. and it was a time where children were coming back from school. they knew also went to hit the timing was very important in order to uh,

to calls the maximum damage the maximum casualties. the maximum massacre, the maximum act of an absolute terrorist attack on 11. and they succeeded unfortunately on following those explosions over 2 days. we have seen waves of these rarely strikes against lab, no particular hitting the south of black. no, but we also, so when i strike in the south of favorites as well. how yeah, is that impacting people in the afternoon right now? it's, it's, it's, it's, it's got test traffic. it's, it's got this tropic one, has to invent a new language to describe the state that lebanese are going through an enduring, i mean, not so long ago, they said that over 100000 lebanese, were displaced from the south of lebanon. and they were trying to go to other areas 11 on today. i can assure you it's probably double the number and they live in

terror. they live in seer. and the thing is that so called these intelligence for offices that call themselves western media. they're not, you know, showing the footage of the full 2 and an enormous, immense destruction in, in, in, in the south of lebanon. i mean, i've seen so many footage and people have to right above this is not garza, this is the south of lebanon, so that people can, because when people see this amount, this, this unconscionable amount of destruction, you know, you would immediately think that's caused because it's not almost going to be a year where we have been seeing day in that a out, you know, but people have to ride above on the, on, on the video. this is not, goes out. this is, this is south of 11 on the destruction is immense. it's catastrophic and, and the,

the people in the south has been in, during this since decades. you know, this is not new, but nobody's talking about it. i mean thing golf for r t, that is, is, is broadcasting and showing the truth, you know, of what's really happening and not eclipsing and supporting, you know, these terrorist attacks on south of lebanon, as well as a on, on bay with the suburbs of bay, which which is known as the da here region. we're going to have to leave it that. but thank you so much feel powerful insights into what's happening in lab and on at the moment. that's me decaying. it is a lot pacing it sound like a humanitarian activist. i'm a member of the international advisory council of the academic university for known violence and human rights. much appreciated. thank you. well, meanwhile, officials in washington claim to have nothing to shred, but there are reports. it is well inform washington on tuesday if i,

it's time for an operation in lab and on the us seems to be distancing itself, claiming its intelligence agencies were left out. the loop for i can tell you is we were not involved in yesterday's incidents or today's in any way. and i don't have anything more here. i have nothing more to add on these instances. i, i, i understand the question about getting gauge and 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 in assessments from here either as well the news outlets. all my of the in her site is security services, which say that the types of explosives used in the patriot tech were completely near, claiming the material couldn't even be detected by traditional x rays of the use that international apple. well meanwhile, the time when these pedro manufacturer of gold apollo has the 9th involvement in

the attack, new thing, it didn't make the pages as they know, labeled, made in time on. the company's found, it says he licensed his trademark to hon. gaming company, co pay. i see consulting that was 3 years ago. however, budapest says that the firm may simply a reseller with no production capacity in the country. the hong 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. well, the founder of the i see consulting reportedly told the media that they don't make the pages, but just the midland blue book policy institute member george samuel wiley visited the office in the past and what he found was the place. but see me box that statement 5, be a, see that there is no capability to manufacture anything on the side as,

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 of the families 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 taking down the link in a page for the company still up. and you could look at the link 10 page. it's not a to a plan that this company does anything for oh, is the, is the familiar at all for a double the 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 sony 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 upfront for something, a folding 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. well meanwhile, in the westbank idea of so just rated and shut down the bureau of how to 0 in ramallah. this was there any on sunday, according to the news outlet is where you force is fire to a gas in the vicinity of its office, destroyed equipment and confiscated documents. i'll just say we're building the moment that that'd be way 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 out of

that. so 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 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 while it was expected because it's rarely officials that already threatened to close down the office back in a fully connected past. lou allowing the temporary shut down to for me to that it says, threatens the nation security amongst all that is rough cabinet voted to buy knowledge, a 0 in the country and its offices in east jerusalem with the 1st to be closed. the policy didn't need your office in java has condemned to move 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 solo diversity with all to 0. what we heard from a professor of political science at this i to university side near who is from ramallah. he says the main reason for the crackdown on out to 0 is it's coverage of the gauze, a war which he says often goes against these really state narrative that explains here for us to expose is that something that drives that by design, but it's really just last week when they. busy have funding you need showing these are you always know what these guys do the most. there's the one of the reviews. and i also last yesterday that one day also i do show an image image of the person who i score for him is the

drones. the action was well given to me directly though he was just that 44 id was not even harmed or is it so these kinds of action would be added to the buyers over the i see she like me as a committee drives. 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 the items that happened in the 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 on the watch. they see that is where it is not only by reading the human rights and making all kinds of rules. laws are due to the

beach, the making kind of g, germany a word goes every major crack sounds on just happening. you news? well the, the social network take so cuz pull the plug and deleted the accounts of all the international and split nick, this came just days else to be us. impose sanctions against russian news that, that's it will takes off has long been on the immense pressure from the us over its chinese ownership, u. s. o, makers of so to rein in the possible voicing phases, the data could be used to fall into the hands of the chinese government. that these concerns remain on substance, did. lacking any concrete evidence or confirmation. earlier they said joe biden signed a new pay even to waive the social network to be bond and less. so to

a us nice and take talk is not the only platform is coming in the pressure, the us government is go all it see in it's sites and there is meta is towing the line. mattress platforms have joined washington's crusade against all network. shutting us down on facebook and instagram and this past week that comes off to the us state department called for world wide fine on a number of russian media outlets of alleged election metric modeling. us officials have no choice either way for them trying to extend that full gratitude to massa for binding by the demands who clearly understands if he wants to try to undermine support american support for ukraine, weighing in and, and frankly, putting up fake information can help them in that matter, we've seen or 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 of interest on this subject helped move you yesterday when you guys decided to take down our tea and related russian influence operations, but less cost live down to in projects a full and purchased diploma. donna will solve a myspace in moscow. how british diplomacy failed in russia. thank you for joining us on the international tip top, cuz come on the quite some direction from the us government for a fairly long time. now i find that against are see, does it mean the washington army is got this me the narrative under control is impossible in this day of the internet with so many of the sources and so many ways

to access news as i think is it possible really i mean, clearly ma, is that to book an is mr. m. i under that kind of some of the why it's how to solve to is recent. so that the information fully in purple do of rest in fonts. that obviously you mentioned that a cell at the top, that's the rest of a bind in the us, which could be quite 15 for that sort of model. it must be used in the us. and they're just in cool hands on that in the us can a few days. so it seems to me that this has been some sort of a towards retail where talk is hedging. uh, you know, again, it's making some kind of deal with, with the americans by finding out to you, to hopefully save it, spike in a bind in the game. and so that it wouldn't be for us to sell to imagine investor, but will it stop other people's, of having opinions know what i think. so if you know who next, which the most is keeping. so going to feet open for so it isn't opinions. uh, you know, the different opinions of all sorts of ranges,

something extra divided by the things going on in the civil bought it as so, you know, let's keep going. yeah. so there's, there's also lots of other social, we do out that there's gap. there is a social 36 that to that people go to if they want to. interestingly, take talk hasn't issued any statement about binding all. it's the words previously when meta decided to do exactly the same. it did issue a statement. and in that statement, at to echo the claims we have heard from the us government against news outlets. hey, we're in motion including all the, i'm just wondered whether you thought the silence will take talk was perhaps a statement in itself. and whether you could read into that, it actually took is a difficult system because as a chinese and company else, each line has a very strong relationship with russia, a relationship, and it's composing in the context. so what's happening in the why to kind of books movement at the moment, which is taking off as you've seen in recent weeks, it's hard to find store and

a break. so thing that kind of trying to brush of relations, quite delicate thing. you know, 6 of the chinese are in company taking out and splitting it off. it's kind of a sensitive issue. so i think that would possibly be behind that. so silence on the mass. supposed to be pressure from the authorities. and basically, i would imagine, yeah, i mean we're seeing here pressure against me do outlets that our criticizing or questioning the mainstream narrative. we've got, obviously defined this now against all t. sputnik other russian news outlets we're seeing in israel, the closure of, i'll just be your office is what kind of precedent does they set foot of the media outlets that are also critical of that mainstream narrative. a lot of the how that, that charlotte victim asked me blinking is also being putting a personal knowledge 0 to kind of hopefully be behind some as well, but that by the us. so this is really about the us and it's always saying, well,

you know, we want to kind of a strict, it'd be adding if you use a difference, a lot of different from all right. and which is a touchy, kind of, always to tell us having the time to kind of a time down on people saying, you know, opinions and views different. somebody say, because the nation with natural things, holy, unhealthy does that should be happening. people should be able to some questions, genocidal that, you know, events that are happening in was running causal right now. they should be able to kind of question why, you know, the west wants to go and ukraine to can continue or not seek for a peaceful resolution near the easiest opinions. and this allows people who have opinions that actually have a corporate debates on these important topics. well, despite the pressure we're going to keep questioning that narrative of the mainstream media in part, thank you very much for joining us, a full month for just diplomats, and it was sort of a myspace in most. go have british diplomacy failed in auction and sell it well, also in russia. now the annual on,

on your own adults cross procession has been taking place in the most go region. during the events participants home prize will together and have a communal meal. the launch is dedicated to a historic member of russian royalty, no charge to you in philanthropy, bosses the tune of the century grant that she has elizabeth funeral. now, the religious gathering takes place from dawn until the well, we'd be back with a fresh look at the news. it only need to know just under 30 minutes a day, hopefully enjoying this again, the .
