remains an indelible letty stains in the history of the european colonial empires. the, the i r j t confirms that the 2 are rainy and soldiers were killed. but damage to military infrastructure limited after an overnight is really attacked, while the idea spouse revenge against further retaliation. if the regime in the wrong were to make the mistake of beginning and year round of escalation, we will be obligated to respond. georgia's stands at a crossroads says that crucial parliamentary elections take off the country is set to decide whether it's future poor slides toward the west or independence. and washington is raising concerns and us media cues, tech billionaire, a line must of coding up to put in the following. the business man's endorsement of

donald trump with the claims emerging just over a week before the us presidential election. the are watching our to international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. we start with a breaking news. the writing and revolutionary guard has confirmed. 2 soldiers have been killed in an overnight is rarely strike, but the damage caused was limited. the reigning air defense systems successfully intercepted the muscles. despite the previous warnings from the islamic republic, officials to the criminal and the legal scientist regime to avoid any adventurous actions this freak regime attacked parts of military centers into ron cruz. this dawn and the alarm provinces this morning in a transaction, he stated that while the integrated air defense system of the country successfully intercepted encountered this aggressive act, limited damage was done to some places. and the dimensions of this incident are

under investigation. these are the reported locations targeted by the israeli army videos posted on social media, have shown missiles being intercepted over to ron by a rainy and air defences. i spoke with ortiz, middle east bureau chief, maria, from ocean i in jerusalem. and our to correspond that use of devali into ron, about the latest escalation, a highly anticipated as really a tac last day. the roughly 4 hours as around 6 am local time on such a day, the idea of announced that it had completed its limited operation in iran, named the days of response in retaliation for a runs october attack. and henri spokespersons stayed at the dozens of participate in fights of jobs, return safely home off the strike and exclusively military targets across iran, including facilities involved in may, solves production and launch. now as well as weapon storage is as an old tennessee 0, also targeted iran surface to air missile systems,

an air capabilities to expand, as well as freedom of aerial operations in there on the, on the released photos showing the idea of chief of staff defense minister the air force chase commanding the attack from his rouse military headquarters in tel aviv with a prime minister engine yackel. also present all objectives were achieved. the army says, let's take a listen. if the regime in the wrong were to make the mistake of beginning in your round of escalation, we will be obligated to respond. our message is clear. all those is threatening the state of israel and 6 to drag the region into wider escalation. will pay a heavy price off the iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at israel on october. first has rarely retaliation . it was a matter of when the notes, if with the key question being the choice of target. and it took as well, almost 4 weeks to respond. likely, these are disagreements between till are even washington over target selection with

are you asked, prefer and likely you had limited response to a voice through your in a full scale war and for the risk collection in the region. it appears of pressure from washington, ultimately influence the outcome as, as well as a tag, remained limited in scope with no oil or nuclear facilities target. despite the previous claims and warnings, the targets were confirmed with washington and american officials were repulsively brief before the strikes. of course, however, an american source told reuters that's the us was not directly involved in this attack. washington suppose that these really strikes, calling them an act of self defense in response to the reading a sold, but expressed hope that the cycle of violence would end here. let's take a listen. secretary austin via the ottoman clause, commitments of the united states to israel security invite to self defense in the face of products from iran and the wrong box terrorist organizations. and the

determination to prevent any acts from exploits intentions or expands into conflict in the region. well interesting that while israel has the right to self defense, according to washington reports now indicates that the us is using all available channels to persuade iran not to retaliate or to limit its response. basically denying the similar right for to here on back to you use of what can you tell us about the situation there in a ron now and, and what's being said about whether or not we can expect to ron that to respond to all know the attack of the was less than meets the eye and uh we did not see all those fiery sweats spies will, vowing to wreak havoc on san juan following. it wants october 1st to attack on the as well. so and what the people, i think and how the people have reacted to are these radiates uh,

cab echo with one of the a wanting officials have described it. uh, we simply, we heard from one of the high ranking get one individuals most in rosari, who said that the attack was a means to escape from the battle field rather than to inflict a damage on to one. the design is resumes, aggression against iran was motivated more by fear, a desire to flee the battlefield rather than the desire to show its power. everyone is waiting for images and now footages to surface from the sides of the attacks overnights uh to, to get a sense of the scale and the magnitude of the damages they inflicted on the iranian military sites. but so far on no such an image has been emerged from the side of the incidents despite all of the limited nature of the attack. erewhon vowed a response to it, and that's based on, on official sources, citing iranian officials saying that there are reserves,

it strides to respond to these ready attack. and that is perfectly in line with what are the yvonne and foreign ministry earlier said during an interview to r t. it was for administer. a boss are off to you also all set similar remarks while laming b is really of violations and aggressive actions against that. ron on the united states always look for the disorder. i'm, you know, that's, they are behind. i mean, that's how we defend the last time. so somebody found this time again, if it affects us people to respond for few hours. so all in all. for now we need to wait for more information to surface out of this

overnight attack by as well. i guess they want to get a sense of whether or not to get wind will respond as well. nations are lining up to condemn the as rarely attack on a ron, including a close american ally in the region. saudi arabia says israel has violated international law and to ron's sovereignty, several others have called for an end to the cycle of violence and criticize the recent attack for undermining regional stability. right, let's cross live now to associate professor at the university of toronto. so tara subject you to discuss this further? a professor, i'd like to hear your thoughts on the international reaction so far to the is really attack. do you think israel will be held accountable for its actions? well, we have been observing the genocide in gauze on the ongoing expressions of this really luxury has to be carried out against lebanese, the syrians and policy means,

and that has never be held accountable. israel is optic, which the actual impunity and even though the world is angry at what they're observing in palestine or any other countries. so i don't think at this point, israel will be held accountable even though the public opinion around the world has formed against these really expression not only against the wrong, but also against palestine, syria and lebanon, depended on issued a statement denying any us involvements in these attacks by israel saying that the strikes should end the exchange of fire between a ron and israel. what do you make of that? do you think that's realistic as well? were very use to us the for critical standpoints. us as also said that a closely consulted with is really literary officials on where to target and how to carry out their strikes against iran. so it's very unrealistic and it's very

difficult to believe that the us plays no role. that's also remember that the, a huge part of is really luxury of weapons and the money comes from us taxpayers, money and without us health is really could do nothing and could not even survive. so it's, it's just an attempt to face save. and i also consider public appeal inside the u. s. head of the elections, but it's very difficult and almost impossible for ronnie and sleep that the idea of claims mission accomplished. but it has also threatened to carry out more severe strikes if a ron retaliates with that in mind. what kind of reaction are you expecting from to ron as well, the idea of, or the i o. s better to call has

a try to save face and matching yahoo is facing legitimacy challenges inside israel as well. so it needed to take some sort of action against iran in order to bid the public deposit in israel. but for now, this is the 1st time that israel has dared attack mueller trigger uses inside to, from the iranian capital. and i am expecting the ringing government to this long so far. we don't have, we haven't heard anything from the wrong enough. it shows that it's very likely that they will start talking about retaliating is really the question when this will happen and how large this will be, is yet to be observed based on the bombing official statements. but it's also not worth the you to remember that it ran it. officials has been warning israel that is as terriers out of strikes against iran. they will definitely list on this on the response will be much harsher than the previous ones. despite israel's claim

of military success to ron, says the attack was largely and effective. what, what do you think israel's goals even were in this attack to i think for, as i said, the 1st, the israel is trying to meet the public to find inside israel. that is a lot of these seeking some form of a response from their latree to it wrongs and strikes against points and tell a beef. but if i say it's also a israel's attempt to see how far the u. s. fluid supports and uh like a company, there's really no history in it's just strikes against it wrong because what we're seeing right now is rhetoric coming from whitehouse, saying that you're not playing any direct role, but also the warning israel. i'm a wrong to finish the cycle of expressions, but at the same time,

they're saying that they're closely consulting with these really officials and they're, they're falsely labeling it as an act of self defense coming from israel. so i say israel is also trying to figure out if, or how far is us, what's support, i'm in their aggressions me. what's your reaction to media reports that claim that footage, that the idea of released supposedly showing the attacks after math was actually taken several years ago, and it's quite strange. why would you think israel would do that? because they don't have any evidence of to the consequences of the so called large scale attacks that they have carried out so far. so they have to restore to, to they have to store to resort to old pictures. and that's what's happening. but what's have has been happening as previously and in this round to and it's interesting how the iranian and non iranian social media accounts i've been

pointing out and showing you evidence that these pictures that have been published plays really officials uh or is really accounts. i've actually been from years ago and have nothing to do with what happened last night in general on the right. well they but they're associate professor at the university of toronto sitar us to ducky . thank you. no problem. well to the south caucus is now where crowds are heading out to vote. as a crucial parliamentary election kicks off in the republic of georgia. more than $3000.00 the polling stations have already opened across the country. all things seem to be going smoothly with online reports of a scuffle. breaking out at a single pulling station opposition acted as posted this footage on line, claiming to have been attacked by the ruling party supporters with us as the head of the georgia dream. it says voters have a clear choice vote for those calling for more or those ready to resist. today in

the long term, our country needs peace, peace keeping economic development, progress and revival of more than ever. it is very easy to make a choice. on one side, there are forces that directly urge us to join the war. these are forces that are ready to dare all kinds of people, dirt against the country and the people of more than 3000. the polling stations have already opened across the country with the state election commission preparing to accommodate over 3000000 voters. the ruling party has been in power for 12 years and the seeking to win a parliamentary majority for the 4th time, but opposition parties are looking to create a coalition to push aside the georgia dream as voting under way. the us is already expressing concerns over election interference. we've made our concerns very clear about the trajectory of the democratic institutions and election process and

georgia, and we remain very concerned about at the founder of the georgia dream party. but xena yvonne is really has cast his ballot. he said people need to choose a government that will either serve the people or one that will bay for and instructions are to shape both, brings us more details from freedom square, the very hearts of tbilisi. well, i'm a started here in freedom square in the center to police the georgia, georgia quote to you 4000000 people in the so called many, many thousands of kilometers away from washington on brussels. good. uh, you know, uh, as a georgia dream party, the biggest party here been in power since 2012. they face off now against this united national move and which is a very loose coalition of numerous much smaller parties. this election has become important in far away place. it seems with the american government suggested in the even russian and chinese involved. but it seems to me as if this is a little bit

a hip hop received, i dare i say it's coming from the west. that's of a little listen to what that say. united states with their colleagues in europe have a long, strong instead, best friends to the people of georgia. unfortunately, this powerful bond has recently come under the wizard attack by the ruling georgia dream. already the georgia dream government has openly renounced the longstanding democratic and euro atlantic choice of the george and people ran a put and ask style find agent law to parliament. the united states must not allow this attack on georgia in democracy and it 0 atlantic future to go on. and so it's very interesting when they mentioned that you know of vague to coney law, so that foreign agency, united states has had a foreign agents registration for decades. united states on particularly and to be blinking so angry. it seems on, on

a copy of george's passing laws which defended sovereignty. and essentially the georgia law, the, for an agency registration or the same is georgia version of it brought to the table both to the front of, of the georgia dream is essentially a georgia version of that phrase, same law. so instead of very hypocritical america, it was a quick to say that they would now even consider sanctioning georgia and the european union suggested that they would then withdraw funding from the beginning that some of us, today's action of the schools are concerned about the consequences of empty democratic actions in georgia and efforts by key individuals to use violence and intimidation to achieve the aims, the united states remains committed to holding accountable those who seek to undermine the rights of the georgian people. and again, when this act was passed, the ruling party here at georgia dream remembered democratically elected by the majority of people. the vast majority of voting for the agents of research and see

who the parties were most aggressively opposed to the new legislation were of assumed itself. far on the phone and chose more than half of them didn't even have a website. a lot of the didn't the submit their annual financial returns on hooked onto pretty legs, can see where this money was coming from. european and american age hmos. chief among the united states also suggested that it would launch a new law in america called a mega barry act, which is a huge target to stick to essentially huge funding for georgia follows the atlantis as western view of the world. but what they failed to tell us in the western media is that both sides of the political divide here at the national coalition data facing the georgia dream on georgia, dream one to follow a european pod division. this is georgia. dream said they want to do it their way sensitive to george and tradition, culture and regional realities,

particularly not wanting to get thrown into any kind of conflict with russia and ukraine, heated seats on the billboards around the, the city here and people say choose peace. we don't want to have a called a white on to point to the top of this we to and together with the georgian people logically complete the european path. we started and become a member of the european union while preserving our dignity in response. the agents of external forces still want war chaos in poverty, leading to the destruction of the country, internal and external enemies should not be allowed to destroy georgia. georgia is a country whose population wants to become a member of the european family with peace, dignity, and prosperity preserving its own values. of course, all this information needs people to ask here in georgia, the politicians into police, the of the pilot with the tools the united states wants to achieve some sort of

regime change here, the color revolution white on $2.00, as the georgia people go to the polls the noise will be uh on, typically see at george and so you need to get 60 percent to get us, which are ready to go over and again for the next the number of years as do this, a very loose the lead coalition and one of the key points is, is how will this lucy led coalition heavily back for the west on the react? if georgia dream achieves, it's called a 60 percent. we'll, that'd be more protests. could that be violent clashes here? it's a police seat will be here following the story, every step of the way. i'm chairman of the solidarity for peace party, told us the west once georgia to be a constant source of problems for russia. me doesn't. i love the focus is that we have to improve our relations with russia because 1st of all, it is our great neighbor and friend with whom we have lived together for many centuries. and we can't allow russia,

georgia relations to remain the same as they are now. normal policies, pragmatic policies, georgian dreams, in the last 2 years, we see good results, which i hope will lead us to improve our relations. i am deeply convinced of this because there was no other way out for georgia. we saw that in these 35 years. georgia has not received anything but promises apart from the war, a part from the fact that we lost territory. we lost almost half of our population and from the prosperous country that we had in 1989, we got a semi colonial one, which has been ruled by the west for more than 30 years. and we didn't get anything in return. what does the west one from us? the west wants us to constantly create problems for russia. and god forbid, if they to achieve their goals. now they have only one goal to organize a war on the territory of georgia in the caucasus, at least for

a week to distract russian special services, the armed forces, and the police from the special military operation. the time to moscow narrative is quickly becoming a staple of us presidential elections. now this time the smear campaign is targeting none other than donald trump's t ally eli mosque. accusations of the tech millionaires codes the ties of food are pulling focus away from the candidates themselves. are to use that we're going to customer ava, takes a closer look, a lost cause to become a big sword in washington's side, especially since he announced a support for former us president donald from now this is a man who everyone in his field knows and respects not only is he not afraid to speak his minds, but he also has a lot of influence. and maybe that's why we're seeing so many recent attempts to smear him. space x is now under intense scrutiny for environmental violations out

in south texas star based facility. the department of justice has filed a lawsuit against face executing the company of hiring discrimination companies. largest stakeholder is facing a new lawsuit of choosing the billionaire of market manipulation. and just in case that didn't do the trick they brought out their trump card quite literally just doing it on most of lot of our boots and, and you'll have americans warming that he's leaking washington's top secret to russia. i think we don't know what the details are right in the us. officials don't really know, but it's certainly not something that our national security officials are going to think that as a good faith it's, it's hard to imagine that someone who is a government contractor and a defense contractor. it that isn't constant conversations with one of our chief adversaries in the world. it shouldn't be hard to mean it, but it's not, but it's not letting me put and is a former k g

b official. there's just no question. the vladimir putin would have been trying to utilize eli mosque as an asset for the russian stay there, apparently best friends who regularly discuss the personal topics business and geo political time since the whole street journal claims that have received this information from several carnes and former us your pin and russel officials, who also revealed the boots and asked the billionaire to avoid activating he starling satellite internet service over its firewall as a favor to the signing these later. i'll just like a boots and supposedly got a lot of favors from, from after he helped when during the 1st election though it's still unclear how exactly are also benefited from, from this presidency. it's also on a clear whether proof is and once again, just and all of those sources anonymously making claims. providing 0 evidence just relying on smoking headlines to work their magic. well most go is as always

a set in the record straight on that. as you remember, put in was accused of goals really having conversation with jump. now who's allegedly talking with musk. these claims are all completely false. the wall street journal published a completely false statement put ahead only one in culture with most before 2022. but so had more of introductory style, they talked about the future and the vision salvage loss came, itself has said that these claims are absurd, but who's listening? they're busy trying to expose and punish them and the lead up to the election. and the latest scandal is over his $1000000.00 which stakes. so one of the things we're, we're doing is we want to try to get over a 1000000, maybe 2000000 of, of, of voters in the battleground states to sign the petition in support of the 1st and 2nd amendment. we're going to be awarding a $1000000.00 to

a random wait. so people have signed that get signed the petition every day from now until the election. this is a way of getting people to vote in swing states, and of course it must can definitely afford that, which is making a lot of people angry like the democrats and the justice department, which jumped on this right away. saying that this could be legal though they can be sure. yeah. it's still a wonder if the departments is also looking in. so those staffers from the british labor party, who are campaigning for. hi mila harris right now in the west and questions remain over. who sponsoring that, cheerleading squad, and how legal that is. but of course, the law mosque is arguably far more powerful than the u. k labeled party and also a key figure and the type in space industry, which puts them in a very pretty position. one person, aware of the conversations,

said the government faces a dilemma because it is so dependent on the billionaires technologies space x launch is vital national security satellites into orbits. and is the company now so relies on to transport astronauts to and from the international space station think . don't love it, the person said, referring to the must put in contacts. the person however, said no alerts have been raised by the administration. overt possible security breaches by musk, musk a set to have top level clear incentives, no doubt, be monitored so safe to assume that if there was communication between him and vladimir putin, the bets would know about it and could probably provide evidence. so there's this all about just another spirit campaign for american voters to eat up, since they're also trump hope sort wonders for them last time. even if it was proven false. the question is, will they buy the narrative this time?

host of the conservative daily podcast, jo altman says, those who refuse to sing to the tune of the democrats will face similar backlash. you know, the unfortunate part is anyone that opposes the agenda, that is, is so evident. and united states the becomes the enemy and it doesn't matter. you can think for yourself, you're taught not to think for yourself. and in this, in this, in this regard, deal on mosque is, is a business guy, right? he's been doing business and creating innovation all over the world. but that's what you're seeing now is they just turned against the view is once revered as the person, the other, the left uses, a beacon of hope. and now they, they look at him, is it, he is betrayed. their interest is ideology that frankly has been traversed with, with sickness. and so what they're trying to do is manipulate and to create

a narrative that gets people to believe what the results will be in november. and so this is just another one of those smear campaigns with baseless accusations and things that they make up out of sitting there in order to disparage something like you are my score or president trump. so i don't, i don't think we, we, you understand, or i don't think anyone across the entire country are world understands the, the, the, what's really happening in the united states. the machine companies are 100 percent, the issue, the male in ballots. and the fact that we can vote through the mail that is also secured by the us postal service. that is a part of the, with the voice and it's leaving the american people is also an issue. but they have create a very sophisticated machine that allows for no transparency in the elections. and for them to create a narrative, they just told people by off on the british intelligence helped to create an troops prepare a plan that sabotage of rushes. first nuclear power plant.
