it was in the movies the but the attacks overnight in one way or the other are designed in a way to provide psychological pressure. there is another explosion. the southern favorite comes under a heavy fire as the latest wave of id ever. it strikes its level on choose, they are run, launched must have retaliatory strikes against israel. we delve further into balance. and other developments in the middle east that shape the ocean forces capture the struggle city of the dark key, logistical side, and the spelling, and made your last for you the

bringing you this. some of these top stories on the news that did shape the past 7 days. welcome to the weekly on our t introduction. we begin in the lebanese capital where a new wave of is really or strikes us to hit the southern suburb of a route. what we're looking at right now are live pictures from the lebanese capital just after 2 pm in the afternoon, an overcast day, and also added to those plumes of smoke from the idea of missiles that had been firing in the early hours of the day. the mediterranean, very hard to make cards in the short distance away from that camera. i want to show you as well not for the jump, the overnight bombard, but witnessed by our correspond the

about the attacks over night in one way or the other are designed in a way to provide psychological pressure. there's another explosion, the quite incredible, sort of just now, let's hear more from the e. s and bringing us off the data and data on the latest developments in the these guys of baby 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. the israeli 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 air strikes 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 hezbollah as a residential complex. and so residential area. and the attacks, of course,

do come at a cost of civilian lives and casualties, but the attacks are not just limited there for the 1st time. these really air force conducted their strikes in the north of the country 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 and the under fire. it's another refugee camp in around the body shop. but other than us 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. it 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 the french president and my crown. 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 probably

minutes to refer to that as a disgrace. the access of terror stands together, but countries were supposedly oppose the star axes call for an arms embargo and israel. what a 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. the celebrations is the jewish new year saturday mark to show up 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 to intensify as time goes on to. well, that's our intention, not just central gaza, at least 24 people have been killed in is really shelling of a mosque and school building there. according to local health officials funded

showing here the aftermath of the debbie attack and darrow, below the most school in question were shelton displaced always the means. they're one of the scripts, last operational hospitalist. alexis is real claims from us, militants were operating a command and control center their i'm a precise spikes or use it leads to death to or from idea attacks on gas and some stuff with a morning, reportedly over 50 people. meanwhile, a moms attempted to set himself on fire, not a pro palestinian protest near the white house of war in dallas, and approaches the one year mark or warning. you may find the following footage, disturbing the well after setting his left arm to place police in bystanders. rushed in with water

and head scarfs to pop the same side. i'm on the scream that he was a journalist and was upset over the spreading misinformation. but does it police detain the protest her and it was taken by the europe. violent flushes were seen in rome. thousands of protel escalated protesters, their mark the lead off to print unable district police use tier gus and more for account into this 1st the fights, most demons also took place and other major cities across the company in the monday ceasefire. well, it's really forces have separate, a major blow in southern lebanon, according to his beloved militant fighters. the groups media chief claims the idea of lost a significant number of troops so far in its invasion. a lot of good lives. i mean,

the number of dead in the enemy forces is large. they were forced to confess, since the losses are evident. i assure everyone including the press and media, the great resistance people, these patients, the 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. well there's been so much happening over the past 7 days. israel also came under barrage of a really and midsize, fired, and the retaliatory strike that was in choose they at the most odd headquarters to military bases and literally time staff of where the target. so according to the really military chief of stuff, video footage shows dozens of rockets reading down across the night. sky runs names

. many missiles penetrated the iron dome defense system with some heading. tell us what is real estates most were interested and shocked on your socrates use of july with more why are these you 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 the resistance, access one by one, and that's with their watches. that pop it gets game. so unfortunately i'll be, i'll just see what these 2 statements in the 2nd state, but it 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 me, never our 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 and 11 on. so this is one of the air bases that was hit by yvonne's missiles on tuesday night, and of course it won't take squared pride in using it's fact all hypersonic missile for the 1st time. it has just recently been unveiled by the i r g c a. now it was used in this latest strike. now there 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, i boss 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 off of self defense,

given the fact that it's smart in honey and the former chief of how mosque 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 involved 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 supporters are advised to part ways with the regime. so

nobody imagined that the one in the missiles would be able to penetrate and info trade, the iron dome. that is why now we see the users are mocking the iron dome 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 israel. and ortiz marie, if an option to witness the uranium strikes 1st ton, while reporting from his real it run attack stays real with dozens of really sick me. sol as well. the idea is around 200 may solve 10. her on claim to the number was double and unprecedented scale regardless. we were returning from filming the movements of is really tang new, the lebanese border and israel's north. when the attack began, his really soldier had still task for routine id tags. with mike,

a walk into laura's application went into overdrive with non stop insist, occasions of threats across the country. there were no long shelters in that area, just the boss stuff along the roads and the sirens. we're not 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 defense intercept. and the mirror walk 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 solve the problem a couple of more times as we entered 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 . but the spice marching dissipation, the response has not yet come. in late to the army stated that the response will happen when israel tours is the right time. and with this latest escalation in the middle east, coming just a month, died from the us presidential elections to abide with us. the comments on the timing? do you agree, jeremy worries that yes in yahoo maybe trying to influence the election and that's why he has not agreed to know ministration shelters room or not? no, 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. but that was one question. another being asked more and more is whether double standards have been exposed by the whitening conflict in the middle east or to shape always sought to answer. well, as the dust settles after around the mass of retaliate, tree 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 israelis to escalate this incredibly dangerous situation on posts 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 this aggression, i'm clear on. iran is a destabilizing dangerous force in the middle east. and today's attack on israel only further and demonstrate that fact around is risking sensing the entire region

on fire. this must be prevented at being, cause has lot of run must immediately stop their attacks. only as 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 gaza alone strikes of tube over 40000 innocent civilians. the it's president biden to emphasize following yesterday's attack. the united states has fully fully fully supported as well. our actions have been defensive in nature. let me be clear,

the iranian regime 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. but it seems israel's western partners, i le card out at you to the right to defend yourself only applies to the allied israel while around lebanon and syria only get to be targets. again, it seems obvious that even when he is really strike 1st, they get to play the victim. when struck back. and of course, yet again, they up. yeah. and i definitely wanna give we have the capabilities to strike any point in the middle east. those of our enemies who have not yet understood this. we'll 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 split. the obvious fact that it's is way of 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 thing is 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 guitar 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, the stabilize 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 is way of mass killing, think guys, it couldn't be topped? maybe it's time to think again as an out. it seems that even defending yourself against is really aggression. is a big no, no in the west and well tell a v 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. russian troops have taken control of blood dar, a key logistics point in don't boss and a local stronghold. most of those forces have also captured several fortifications

that you've created and forces. it's been close to a decade building, taking us through how significant those gains may be. yours ortiz, a portion of it is very important even when you look at the symbolism and at the symbolic importance, end of the symbolic weight of a rush of finally liberating the town of hopeless. basically, this marks an end 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, which both at 1st played in ukraine's favor and then uh 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 because it's pretty much of the soviet era. 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 scott free lines which may the very approach to this town for the russian forces. incredibly, incredibly difficult. there's very little places where you can take cover also at the same time, from booklet you can see via pro, you can see pretty much everything that is going on too long, which isn't tens of columbus is all around it. this was what allowed the ukrainians to stay in control of that place for so long. but basically what i'm saying this now that especially now the rush, 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 sources, 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 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 view craniums had to had to flee from back, move now to almost when they had to flee from money and go from solar. and to basically a whole range of other over 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 there to keep these towels onto the control. but the moment that they realize that they simply can no longer hold onto 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

the of these talking points have be 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 gonna predict failure. or success here, but even if the book 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 comes a few days off to videos. begin to emerge online coming from russian brigades and coming from russian drug or practice showing russian soldiers putting flags on top of the buildings. and basically all across that town, which 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, 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 will, that nobody is hiding in the basements on that. well, basically the town is under the russian control. the law must cause raise the alarm about the need to protect american freedoms, making up points on his 1st appearance with donald trump on the campaign. trail the tech guy couldn't join us. republican presidential candidates other raleigh in pennsylvania, in fact, at the same location where trump survives and assassination attempt back in july. you deserve a government that protection respects his own citizens that defends your sovereignty, your security, and your dignity and your freedom. the other side wants to take away your freedom of speech. free speech is the bedrock of democracy.

if, if people don't know what's, what's going on, if they don't know the truth talking, you talking, you making a phone book, you must have free speech in order to have democracy. that's why it's the 1st amendment. now what that may be alluding to a former us secretary of state has complained to world leaders that managing public opinion is difficult when people can freely choose their information sources, which is by the way, the constitutional right of americans protecting free speech and press freedoms. we can take a listen, it's really hard to govern today. people go and that people self select where they go for their news or for their information. and then you just get into a vicious cycle. so it's really, really hard to try to build consensus today that at any time in the 4550 years i've been involved in this is our 1st amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know,

hammer it out of existence, so would you need what we need is to is to win the ground when the right to govern by hopefully having a winning enough votes that you're for you to be able to, to implement change. john carries remarks out the world economic forum in davos, sparked outrage from citizens back home. ranging from this belief to longer another former top, the much hillary clinton last month went even further, suggesting some americans should be charged for what she called parting russian propaganda. russia today, archie is an arm of the russian government and arm of its intelligence operation. it's basically an extension of their spying efforts. they are using americans, both those who are witching and willing and those who are unwitting republicans,

go to the floor of the congress and they parrot russian talking points. so i think it's important to indict the russians, but i also think there are americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda and whether they should be civilly or even in some cases, criminal a charge is something that would be a better deterrence as well. some people reacting to these apart and calls for censorship, also know that the parlor done full of mainstream media and the other. and she felt the wall street journal spoke on the same news. organizations have simply lost the clots, they used to hold to go back really no, no, not long ago. as i say, we kind of, we own the news, we with the gatekeepers and we very much of the facts as well. it started in the booth street journal, the new york times, then that was a fact. nowadays, people can go to all sorts of different sources for the use,

and so much more questioning about what we're saying. so it's no longer good enough for us just to say, this is what happened to his is. this is the news we have to explain almost all explain our working. so read is expect to understand how we saw stories. they want to know how we go about guessing stories that we have to sort of list upon it as it was. and in a way that newspapers, oh, you know, on used today and explain to people what we do and we need to be much more transparent about how we go about collecting the news. a former professor of liberal studies at new york university. my can rectinwald's spoke to us earlier. he compared the us government's efforts to control the flow of information to our wealth ministry of truth. a carrie was suggesting is that of com a lot higher as is elected or installed. that in fact, she would see to it that our 1st amendment rights are completely annihilated. it's underscoring the hypocrisy of the regime that would have

a complete control over the information and the call for effective censorship and narrative control. this means that they don't trust the american people to have an opinion on anything. and they want to make sure that those opinions align with the regimes imperatives and dictates. so we're headed towards where the u. k is right now, affectively making a posting means or posting opinions on political issues that the regime does not want you to hold making that illegal. they want to be the final arbiter. so what town says fact? so let's see. and if they can't be the final arbiters of what counselors fact and they need the sensor people that have alternative views or that see the facts in a different life or in, in terms of a different narrative. they do not want the ownership of facts to pass out of their

possession. this is the ministry of truth in oral wells, 1984. that's what these people aspire to be. a lot of these are a recap of the stories affecting your world today. i'll keep them coming again in 30. we do appreciate your company the the the opportunity to see how many you are on that like us on this and what are your most in place. how about.
