the, the, the southern bay which comes on that heavy fire review as well. a lease has its latest wave of as flanks on 11 on the wrong. the which is massive, were tiny atory strong as we gain phase row with a pin. so well with developments in the middle east to shake the wind. meanwhile, russian with this confidence from both city of oakland down a t logistical site and the dumbass spelling of major log support ukraine. the very good morning to you. this is a weekly on,

on c international with the latest global news updates along with a round up of the stories that shapes the week is great to happy with us. we still have the out in the lebanese capital, there's a new wave of is wally and strikes of hit the southern positive bay route sunday. olson locks the 6th day of the idea ground invasion of the country south pays the for the latest postage of strikes overnight. the the, the skies of a roots under normal circumstances are clear. there are no clouds in the skies except for the black clouds in the background. there are many sites across the city skyline, where black smoke is radiating from sites that were attacked by the is really air force. one of them right behind me was a gas station. these rarely jets fired upon the gas station, which resulted in

a large blaze and a large fire. just to my right, there was another target that was attacked which was no more than 2 kilometers from our current position. and we felt the pressure of the wave of pressure essentially hit us where we're standing at this given moment. and these attacks continued. i lost count after about 30 or so airstrikes and the explosions, which resulted, of course continued until the early hours of the morning. there was, of course, about 2 or 3 hours where the is really military did not conduct those strikes. but the targets of some of those positions were, of course munitions depots and it exploded time and time again for the course of maybe a few hours up until the early morning. what we do know, of course, the attacks come, of course, after a week or 2 of very deadly attacks. and this is of course in response to the fighting in the southern parts of the country. but the attacks were not just

limited to the southern suburbs of the lebanese capital da here, which is a residential and as well as a strong hold for hospitalized residential complex as a residential area. and the attacks, of course, do come at a cost of civilian lives and casualties. but the attacks on not just limited there for the 1st time. these really air force conducted airstrikes in the north of the car street targeting area surrounding to the police. there was a refugee camp, a power steering refuge account that was attacked and very similarly there had been a number of targets within the beta city. skyline which are currently which is currently under fire. it's another refugee camp in around the body shop. but as you know, and this ongoing, but one thing that is interesting is we were receiving reports suggesting that one of the strikes targeted a gas station. and it was a total energies gas station, which is a french company. but we have confirmed that that is not necessarily the case. there was a gas station, but it wasn't a french company, and the reports emerge because there's that upgrade to

a back and forth between french president obama krohn and b is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the french president had called for a cease of weapons deliveries to the is rarely states. and v is really prime minister. refer to that as a disgrace. the access of terror stands together, but countries were supposedly oppose the star axis. call for an arms and ball going is a water disgrace? well, let me tell you, this is a woman with or without their support on saturday is really media suggested. israel's response to iran barrage strikes over the weekend is going to happen within the 1st 48 hours. we understand that october 2nd and october 4th was the rush of hush on of celebrations. is the jewish new year, saturday mark the shutout, and we can expect monday, which is october 7th. the 1st anniversary of the october 7 attacks, which really results that are really let you all of this in the 1st place to pick up pace, we can expect the escalation,

we can expect these attacks interest by as time goes on, is where the forces sounds stuff of the major blow in southern lebanon, according to hezbollah minutes and fife, is the group's need to get chief claims? the idea has lost a significance number of troops. ok, well that's good. let me, uh, the number of dead and the enemy forces is large. they were forced to confess, since the losses are evidence. i assure everyone including the press and media, the great resistance people, these patients sacrificial and unwavering people, as well as our allies, the resistance allies in lebanon and around the world that the resistance is fine. and that the command and control structure and that the military resistance capabilities are fine. in addition, the war is in rounds. and if you manage to get us in the 1st round through assassinations and devastation, remember, we are just only in the 1st round. as well as also come on, the barrels have been rainy and miss south 5,

and they were tanya to restock on choose day em all sides headquarters to military bases and, and his way the tank. that's how they've been targeted. according to the arabian military chief of stuff, video 1st, it shows dozens of real caves waning down across the as well in the middle of the 9th. the wrong claims. the missiles penetrated the country's defences with some hating, tethered beef. but these will claims most will interest set to down shutting down all sees use of gilani. i ortiz, he said that it has moved past. what's it called uh its strategic self restraint after it saw that israel has been on this suite of assassinations targeting different qeylee. there's from there was a success, one by one and that with their watches that propagates games. so unfortunately, the urgency, what these 2 statements in the 2nd statement is said that it claimed more than 90 percent of those fired missiles heads their designated target,

some of them 3 major military bases and as well including got me nimrod team air base, which is the largest air base possessed by as well. and the i r d. c claims that this air base is used by as well to target has but loss positions in lab and on. so this is one of the air bases that was hits bytes. yvonne's missiles on tuesday night that of course it won't take square pride in using it's fun to hypersonic missile for the 1st time. it has just recently been unveiled by the r g c. a. now it was used in this latest strike. now one is warning that if israel wants to retaliate or again, once again, intrude and a breach of on sovereignty it's, we'll try even more stronger this time or more strongly this time. so that's based on comments recently made by it was for a minister of us out chief who made these comments during phone conversations with

his european counterparts. he received several phone calls last night. so by different your pin nations insisting that everyone needs to de escalate. but he said that that was a legitimate act of self defense, given the fact that it's smart in honey or the former chief of from us was targeted by israel under warranty. and so, earlier this evening we exercise self defense under article $51.00 of the un charter targeting solely military and security sites in charge of genocide in gaza and 11 on we did so after exercising, tremendous restraint for almost 2 months to give room for a cease fire in gaza, our action is concluded unless the israeli regime decides to invite further retaliation. in that scenario, our response will be stronger and more powerful. or ron's legal rational and legitimate response to the terrorist acts of design is regime which involve targeting iranian nationals and interest and infringing upon the national

sovereignty of the as lumnick republic of iran has been duly carried out. should design as regime dare to respond or commit further acts of malevolence. a subsequent and crushing response will ensue, regional states and design and supporters are advised to part ways with the regime . so nobody, imagine that the, the, the ronnie and the missiles would be able to penetrate and info trade, the air and on that is why now we see the users are mocking the iron door i'm using and funding a hash tag paper don't instead of fire and so i'm trying to say that this has been big glow to the security and defense system of as well as a middle east bureau chief maria phenomena witness the rainy and strong spies. tons, well the poor thing for me is, well, and it run a taxi. israel with dozens of really sick me, sol as well. the idea for souls is around $200.00. we saw her on claim to the

number was double an unprecedented scale regardless. we were returning from filming the movements of these really tang 20 of the lebanese full day and israel's north. when the attack began, his really soldier had still tasks for routine id tags. with my work it's alerts application went into overdrive with non stop insist. occasions of threats across the country, there were no bomb shelters in that area. just the boss stuff along the road. and the sirens were adults going off either, and the soldier instructed us to just carefully watch the night's car and lie down when we so it's really air, the foes intercept and then the rock is as it is it just bolt in the dark? and that's how we spent about 40 minutes. and after we started moving, we had to silver, blah, blah, a couple of more times as we enter the, an area with sirens were heard the

for the 1st time during this war. nathan, yahoo used at 45 underground bunker in jerusalem. he and some of the ministers spent hours in the and that's fortress where the country's military cabinets. convenience to discuss how to respond to the reading and attack. and shortly after that, the idea of vows to retaliate and try targets across the middle is on tuesday night, the despised motions dissipation. the response has not yet come. late to the army stated that the response will happen when israel to is is the right time. with this latest escalation in the middle east coming just one long as the head of the us presidential elections and you would find it has been hosted comments on the timing . do you agree? do you have any worries that that's in yahoo? maybe trying to influence the election and that's why he has not agreed to know

ministrations, help israel more than i know, i know and i think maybe she remember that and whether he's trying to influence selection, i don't know, but i'm not counting on that or the shape both as more on the double standards that have been exposed by the whirlwind conflict and limited as well as the dust settles after around the mass over tyler, 3 attack against israel. you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a run who fired 1st, but at least listening to western leaders who would fight actually condemned this attempt by the radiant regime. to haul innocent, israel is to escalate this incredibly dangerous situation on post the region of a place to the point. it cannot be tolerated. we steins with israel and we've recognized her right to self defense in the face of discretion. i'm clear

on iran is a destabilizing dangerous force in the middle east. and today's attack on israel only further demonstrate that fact around is risking sensing the entire region on fire. this must be prevented at being. costs has lined a run, must immediately stop their attacks. allney's ro, around strikes, targeted the most odd headquarters, along with treat and military bases, which stored fighter jet some tanks, and only one person was killed. meanwhile, and god alone strikes of tube over 40000 innocent civilians the this president, i'm to emphasize following yesterday's attack. the united states has fully fully

fully supported of israel. our actions have been defensive in nature. let me be clear, the iranian routine will be held responsible for its actions. and we strongly warrant against a ron or as proxies taking actions against the united states or for their actions against israel. for the themes, israel's western partners i la carte, added you to the right to defend yourself. only applies to the allied israel while around 11 and then sir, you only get to beat targets. and again, it seems obvious that even with the as a strike 1st, they get to play the victim. when struck back. and of course, yet again, they up the afternoon a give, we have the capabilities to strike any point in the middle east. those of our enemies who have not yet understood this will soon understand it. we will respond. we know how to locate important targets. we know how to strike with precision and

power girlfriend. molly, i'm a support. the obvious fact that it's is wales apocalyptic assault on gaza. the spark this latest period of conflict? it's not is well this morning is that nowhere in the middle east is safe. maybe even the mere of guitar and the objections are somehow to blame to. after all, it seems anyone daring to point out, the fact is playing a dangerous game right now, especially if you're in range of his way, these bombs definitely the. the recent escalation in the past days and 11 on is what we warned about since the beginning of the israeli aggression. and it is increasing. and the state of could tar has worked intensively to reach a ceasefire and contain the conflict. but developments are accelerating. de escalation means that the occupation army stops its unjust war on our brothers and gaza, and the west bank and its aggression on lebanon. ship of the cabinet, also stress the most danger that unilateral escalate. tory steps by israel could

lead the region to slip into more dangerous developments, which could lead to a comprehensive regional war that would destabilize the entire region and cost a negative shadow over the security of the entire region. something egypt has repeatedly warned against perhaps the escalation of events yesterday. harold's, a dangerous turning point, confirms the need for the international community and influential powers to intervene to work on an immediate cease fire to stop the blood shed and preserve the security and capabilities of the region. so if you thought west of hypocrisy over as well as mass killings in guys, it couldn't be topped. maybe it's time to think again as a now it seems that even defending yourself against is really aggression is a big no, no in the west. and well, television can do what it likes to who likes with absolute impunity. it seems the victims have to sit on their hands and take their punishments. now

over to the front lines of the ukraine calling stage, where russian troops have taken control of it includes a kayla just stakes, pointing to the don't pass on the local stronghold as, according to the russian defense ministry is troops of also talked to several fortifications. the ukrainian forces spent nearly a decade building with more details on the hazy coast off. it is very important that even when you look at the symbolism and at the symbolic, important send of the symbolic weight of a rush of finally liberating the town of hopeless. basically, this mocks and, and to ukrainian attempts to stay in control of that town. and the fighting has been going on for good for over 2 and a half years. now there's several factors at play here. we should both at 1st played in ukraine's favor and then the to basically just to the collapse of their own defense. so here's the thing to understand about over the while it is a small place. it is a town that is pretty much,

it consists pretty much over soviet b or apartment block, residential quotes has and buildings. it is very compact and at the same time it is situated on the dominating the heights in that area and is at the same time again, is surrounded by open fields with scars, free lines which may the very approach to this found for the russian forces. incredibly, incredibly difficult. there's very little places where you can take cover. uh, also at the same time, i'm from booklet you can see via pro, you can see pretty much everything that is going on. kilometers and tens of columbus is all around. this was what allowed the ukrainians to stay in control of that place for so long. but basically what i'm saying this, and now the, especially now that russia, he's in control of that town. and now that russia can see everything that is going on around it, of course, the russian commodities will try to capitalize on that. so it is one tactics wise

when it comes to tactical success, it is quite important for russia, but that might be not the impression you get if you listen to western and ukrainian suicide is it seem is they are acting in accordance to the old playbook that they would kick into the 5th. yeah, the rest week would kick into the 5th get, ah, and basically they would say that's no good. in fact, was not that important. that they wouldn't give russia much advantage when it comes to the battle field. and when it comes to the fighting, we have seen that sort of rhetoric repeated time and time again when you can be ukrainians, had to had to flee from back, move now to almost when they had to flee from muddy and go from solar. and to basically a whole range of other of other towns and cities and villages, which they will just throw everything that they have. i me talking about the ukrainian forces to keep, to basically stay that to keep these towels onto the control. but the moment that

they realize that they simply can no longer hold on to all these places. no good. uh they would just say, oh, it wasn't important. in fact, this is something that might be coming out of washington because this sort of line that of these talking points have been repeated by the most high profile, washington officials have a list. we don't know how it's going to go, so i'm not going to predict failure or success here. but even if the both back moved in. so with our fall to the russians, it's not going to make a, it's not going to have a strategic impact on the war itself. and it certainly isn't gonna stop ukrainians or, or slow them down in terms of their, their efforts to regain their territory. now the russian official confirmation of liberating the town of a good outcomes, a few days off to videos, began to emerge online coming from russian brigades and coming from russian drogo

practice showing russian soldiers putting flags on top of the buildings and basically all across that town which she was already interpreted by russian military experts and international military expos that the town fell and the town was in control of the russian armed forces. but now that the russian ministry of defense has confirmed it, it is safe to say that the clean up operation of the town is done. that the old would, that nobody is hiding in the basements. and, well, basically the town is under the russian control. well, this comes out of view as a power li, green lines use of its weapons. a new frame is hacks across the russian buddha, state departments, folks pose. and matthew miller was quick to pay this low key. strategic shift in broad strokes went off direct to your bosses. ukraine does not need or permission to strike back against russian targets. they're solving country and can use

the weapons that they build on their own, which are many you look at the programs that they put in place over the last year. and then when you look at the weapons that we have provided to them, we've made clear that they can use them to strike back against russian targets across the border that are launching attacks if you ok. but you. ready start came back development, and inside of the of it, we look at all the capabilities and all the tactics and all the support that we provide ukraine in totality. and look at how when we approve any new weapon system or any new tactic, we look at how it's going to affect the entire battlefield and you can cranes entire strategy. and that's what we'll continue to do. k of has repeatedly said a series of west and supplies long range missiles on russian territory would require approval on tech support, oceans, and claims that husbands and coverage to enable strikes against pre 2022 russian wages. despite reports is considering the measure responsible zalesky. so called victory plans, media pointed nato chafe as being the police supportive of the action provided that

age member country. this side for itself supporting ukraine's rights to self defense means that it is also possible for them to strike legitimate dockets on the aggressive territory. at the end, it's up to each i like to determine it's reports before you create and that's not up to me, this is for the individual elyse endeavor relationship with the ukraine. radio has done political commentators. steve gill believes the recent developments and the requiring conflicts raise the stakes on the us pay to re, to cast a months. i think you bring in a desperate situation where it is the increasingly desperate was the last is on the battlefield. and the recent advances really almost give a free reign for rest of the make huge advances to there's a need for river and, and other key points. ukraine is losing the us military to start and your knowledge

of some of the us media. and unfortunately, we're drawing good money after bad more sadly, ukrainians are going good men and women is with the break. i'll call the more lots of life, there's not any better results. unfortunately, the united states seems to be backing off being permissive in the way that ukraine can, you know, attack russia attack targets inside russia in order to try and distance themselves from the results that might come from those sorts of attack. i think probably through the end and rush or, and making it clear they decide ukraine is using military technology from the us and the united kingdom, if they're using satellite technology to help their targeting others, those won't be considered attacks by the u. k. n. by the us on the russians toilet, i think got the state department, and certainly the military officials in the us the to be taking that very, very seriously. earlier this week, the 1st rush and focused on

a trade and investment for him resulted in a unique agreement on trade. we had to chose to speak with the pakistani on by the form. and he highlighted the 2 countries wanting us to reach new levels of partnership. but over coming the current challenges, the desire to on both sides on faith heading towards having more cooperation instead of the sector and activities. and also created commodities. as you know, sanctions and bid secondaries x rays, how we did the plate provided at the same thing be compliant with the types of things that we do things. and i think we have shown our cdo inside that we would be meeting to join the

brakes and it also tank quoted to russian for supporting us. but then, you know, there are some limitations of content. so hopefully some but it's always a pleasure to have it confident here and also you international. we will of course, be back with more of the latest news updates in just 30 minutes. hope to see you then the the,

the russian states never is as tight as i'm one of the most sense community best ingles, all sun set up the same assistance must be the one else holes. question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on the russians cruising and split the ortiz vote net, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services, which is 8050 even twist, which is the

hello and welcome to was a part of the school has witnessed a long procession of black swans flying in all directions. but now there are circling the middle east series of terrorist attacks and massive missile exchanges between israel and its share. adversaries has once again brought the situation to the brink of original conflict. swimming we catch in washington of guards or unable to respond effectively. where does these percolation of a new war believe the old was to discuss that i'm now joined by david crayton, page politician, and the leader of the heritage party, to start cursing. that's great to see you this morning. thank you very much for your time. nice. thanks, it's really good to join you as well. now,

the middle east has been a source of instability, are very turbulent area for quite some time. but there's been a very noticeable, very vivid escalation over the last couple of weeks. how do take and do thing is just another seasonal flare up, or is it something more serious, more consequential, you will have problems and i'm at least go back in some, at least 75 years. but this current flare up started on the 7th of october with the actions of the mass one that was a very strange thing because they could get over the most secure border in the well, i don't understand that myself, but then obviously since then it's cleared up more and more, israel is retaliated completely out of proportion to what happened on the 7th of october, and now they're trying to draw in other countries and not just fighting against the mass in the gaza strip. they've opened the front of games, lebanon bombing, lebanon, the they bones the irrelevant wrong day. they killed the leaders,

a mouse in the, in his, out in the apartment building and in iran, and they boeing, syria, and the doing taking actions in the west bank. so this really is an escalation, a big escalation. this happens in the last couple of weeks and doing what i think the world was horrified. a couple of weeks ago when they were all of these page explosions and exploding walkie talkies, the count some, his boss fights is yes, but lots of in assume to women and children as well. now, israel as a, as a national, after it's national behavior, is a pretty much the, the product of the west. it wouldn't be able to be what it is. it wouldn't be able to behave as it behaves without substantial military diplomatic financial support from the west. but there is a paradox here because i think at this point of time it's national behavior. it's as is it off.
