as it just fails the races, smith of the year at the in invincibility the, the i r g. c confirms 2 soldiers were killed but damage to military infrastructure . and iran is limited after an overnight is rarely attacked by the idea of vows, revenge against further retaliation. if the regime in iran were to make the mistake of the beginning and year round of escalation, we will be obligated to respond. georgia stands that across roads as crucial parliamentary elections. it kick off the country and set to decide whether its future pores live toward the west for independence in washington as raising concerns and us media accuse tech billionaire eli mazda of closing up to the following. the business man's endorsement of donald trump, with the claims emerging just over

a week before the us presidential election. the live in moscow. you are watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble. we start with breaking news. the writing and revolutionary guard confirms the 2 soldiers were killed and an overnight is rarely striking, but the damage caused was limited and the rain in 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 as rarely

army videos posted on social media, have shown missiles being intercepted over to ron by a rainy and air defenses. i spoke with our does middle east bureau chief marie of an ocean in jerusalem and are to correspond that use of the law in toronto. but the latest escalation, highly anticipated as really a tac last day. the roughly 4 hours at 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 armies. spokespersons stayed at the dozens of participate in fight address, return safely home off the strike and exclusively military targets across iran, including facilities involved in may, solves production and launch as well as weapon storage is as an old tennessee 0 also targeted iran surface to air missile systems and air capabilities to expand,

as well as freedom of aerial operations in iran. yonder released photos showing the idea of chief of staff defense administered air force chase, commanding the attack form as well as 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 a new round of escalation, we will be obligated to respond to our messages. clear of all those is threatened. the state of israel and 6 to drag the region into wider escalation will pay a heavy price of the iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at israel on october 1st. his railey retaliation was a matter of when the notes, if with the key question being the choice of targets. and it took as well, almost 4 weeks to respond. likely, these have disagreements between to let even washington over target selection with

are you asked, prefer and likely you had limited response to avoid triggering a full scale war. and for the risk collection in the region, it appears that pressure from washington ultimately influence the outcome as well as a tag, remains limited in scope with no oil or nuclear facilities targeted despite previous claims and warnings. the targets were confirmed with washington and american officials were repulsively briefed before they strikes. of course, however, an american source told reuters that's the u. s. was not directly involved in this attack. washington suppose that these really strikes, calling them an act of self defense in response to the ran into sold, but expressed hope that the cycle of violence would end here that stick. listen, the secretary austin via the ivan clause commitments of the united states to israel security invite to self defense in the face of flux from iran and the wrong box terrorist organizations. and the determination to prevent any act from exploits in

time since 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. ringback 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 was less than meets the eye. and uh, we did not see all those firey. fred spies will, vowing to wreak havoc on san juan following. it wants october, 1st attack on the as well. so and what the people, i think and how the people have reacted to are these radiates job echo with what

the are wanting. officials have described it. uh we simply, we heard from one of the high ranking one individuals, most it was i. e, 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, this regimes, 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 the 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 windy and military sides. but so far on no such an image has been emerged from the side of the incident, 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 audio vonny 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 is really a violations and aggressive actions against that. ron, on the united states, always the disorder. i'm, you know, that's, they are behind any effect for you as well. we defend the last 500 assessment, defend this one again, if it affects us to respond to the appropriate way, how response so all in all, for now we need to wait for more information to surface out of this overnight

attack by swell against, or want to get a sense of whether or not to get wind will respond. it's a nation's are lining up to condemn the is really attack on a ron, including opposed to american ally in the region. saudi arabia says israel has violated the 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. earlier we spoke with a journalist, smell like charlotte, and she says, israel 6 of brother conflict in the region. i believe is the easiest have well gotten so far doing is ex, with each to ignite the conflict and agree to conflict and the agent that each of the complex and the fact that they have a system to, you know, to add to it on, in this way news that they are wanting and pushing for that. and you know,

the face has been assuming, statements about the end of the war about the humanitarian aids to the people and goes about that. what do you know about the magnitude of that is where each sites a day on the basis that doesn't change anything about the size that they have just decency or just as to 8 by more than 5000000000 dollars to you know, kind of, it's kind of makes a stand up to a year of a conflict. so these days are going to be the shaping the future of video just depending on what the ages are going to continue doing, depending on the systems whether it be continuing to to run university professor aside. mohammed mirandi predicts at our future for the world, should there be direct us involvements? a bronze has a huge arsenal of ms. miles. it has many underground missile cities. it's,

it can fire well over a 1000 missiles at one go. and the same is true with drones and it can they can fire wave after wave. ready or for a very long period of time, remember these underground missile cities and drone cities created for potential conflict with the united states. when the us invaded the rock and i found the sun and had its a huge presence in the persian gulf region, the ronnie into work and deeply concerned. so they created all these well protected underground installations that had huge fire power to determine the united states is really received, doesn't have anything near the capabilities of the united states. so it would deep definitely be badly defeated in a, in a series of exchanges. heavy exchanges with the ron, and of course the but it, the real question is not what nothing else who can do. we've already seen that he

can't do much. but what will the united states do if the united states enters the fight, then iran will have to deal with us spaces in the region and those, uh, oil rich app dictatorships that host those bases today to be seen as hassle. so that would mean an end of boiling gas exports from the persian gulf region, and that would be to a global economic catastrophe. so the smart thing for washington to do is to back off, and also to gain card on that in yahoo is leach because he is going to be punished to the cell. the caucus is now where people are voting in a crucial parliamentary election in the republic of georgia, and more than 3000, the polling stations are opened across the country. electoral turn out has already surpassed 22 sense, the ruling party, georgia. dream has been in power for 12 years and is looking to win a parliamentary majority for the 4th time. online reports describe

a scuffle breaking out at a single ballot box opposition active as posted footage of a fight online claiming to have been attacked by the ruling parties and supporters . countries. prime minister, a rock laid by he's a, has already has his vote. he's calling the elections a war and he's referendum in siblings. these elections are a very decisive and fundamental pursuit. the direction of the country's development must finally be decided. this is a referendum between war and peace. this is a referendum between immoral propaganda and traditional values between the dark past and the bright future. you see that there are 2 political forces that are participating in these elections. and one side offers the very thing that we should leave in the past 40 and we offer our voters piece be to economic development, and the growth of the country in all directions. as dodge and officials from both

sides of the aisle view the vote. as of the size is not meant and the countries modern history, washington has expressed concerns. 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, even as she really has cast his balance, he said people need to choose a government that will either serve the people or one that will pay for an instructions or to say. but this brings us more details from freedom square, the very hearts of actively see hello miss started here in freedom square incentive to police in georgia, georgia code to your best 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 involvement. 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 do nice states with their colleagues in europe have a long and strong and steadfast friends to the people of georgia. unfortunately, this powerful bond has recently come under the wizard attack of the ruling georgia dream party. the georgia dream government has openly renounce the longstanding democratic and euro atlantic choice. as the georgian people ran a put and ask style, find agent law through 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 victor 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 to georgia, just 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 the georgia dream is essentially a georgia version of the 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 anti 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 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 more than half of them didn't even have a website. a lot of the didn't to submit their annual financial returns on hooked onto pretty legs, can see where this money was going from. european and american age hmos. chief among the united states also suggested that it would launch a new law in america called the 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 divides here at the national coalition that are facing georgia div on georgia deep wants to follow a european positive innovation. this is georgia. dream said they want to do it their way sensitive to george and tradition, culture on regional realities, particularly not wanting to get thrown into any kind of conflict with russia and ukraine, heated seats on the billboards around the city. hear people saying choose peace. we don't want to have a called a white on 2 points. so that's how 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, and 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, politicians into police see in the file and with the tools the united states wants to achieve some sort of regime change here. the color revenue should bite on 2 point oh, as the georgia people go to the polls, the noise will be uh, onto the leasing at george. and we 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 going to 60 percent, will there 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, the chairman of the solidarity for peace party told us the west of launch,

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, george and 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 is no other way out for georgia. we saw that in these 35 years. georgia has not received anything but promises apart from the war. apart 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 is 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 problems are related to w. what show the european union promised us what nato promised us, but obviously at least to $93.94, i already knew that there would be no nato or european union for georgia. i repeat once again. are we to remain semi colonized, or are we starting a struggle for our sovereignty? and sovereignty implies, as i see it, the ability to establish relations with those countries which being us benefits. the little tied to moscow narrative is quickly becoming a stable of view as presidential elections. this time, the smear campaign is targeting none other than donald trump's key ally. eli musk accusations of the tech billionaires cosy ties of sutton are pulling focus away

from the candidates themselves. or to use that we're in a coast right, but takes a closer look. a mosque has to become a big sword in washington side, especially since he announced to 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 lots 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 isn't 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. i know it shouldn't be hard to mean it, but it's not, but it's not. vladimir putin 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 says the whole street journal claims that have received this information from several cards and former us through a pin and russel officials who also revealed the boots and asked the billionaire to avoid activating he's starling satellite internet service over taiwan as

a favor to the chinese. these later i'll just like a boots and supposedly got a lot of favors from, from after he helped him when during the 1st selection 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 normally 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 that are all completely false. the wall street journal published a completely false statement, but it had only one and culture with most before 2022 that sold had more of introductory style. they talked about the future and the vision salvage loss came. sell has said that these claims are absurd, but who's listening?

they're basically trying to expose and punish them and the lead up to the election . and the latest scandal is over his $1000000.00 we've stakes. so one of the things 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 weights. if people have signed the get signed the petition are every day from now until the election. this is a way of getting people to vote in swing states and of course 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 illegal,

though they can be sure yet still all wonder if the departments is also looking into those staffers from the british labor party, who are campaign and 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 tricky 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 astronaut 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 muskets 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 fence would know about it and could probably provide evidence. so what is this all about? just another spirit campaign for american voters to lead up since the roster trump hopes worked wonders for them last time. even if it was proven false. the question is, will they buy the narrative this time of the british intelligence helped do current in troops plan the sabotage versus cursed with nuclear power plant, as, according to must moscow's envoy to the united nations. but selina bends yet speaking at fridays un security council session representatives of certain companies do a lot of talking about the importance of ensuring the security of nuclear for students as while accusing us. going through to any goal and sense of just

everybody's is cute interest. fish that i'll do is a part of the nuclear power plant, which is, which is on the control, the same time they do their best to, you know, the obvious fact that regular and the reckless effects against the z m. p, p. i, they, me, but that is the julia for 3 sense of, of, of the mind, arguments. one of those, what type of shelter, the forces of your great in case of z and picking those 80 fields and deliver those . the key was also points into effect, the 3 above blunting cause, according to intelligence, we have it though, it just pulls the plant. that is, that that concludes of capturing and mining over the course. going to be we also have great credible information, the best intelligence agencies, primarily the but it just seems like the m. 16 am i 6 kind of system ethically pretty bad. ukrainian. so, but that shows that it goes into groups to organize publications, ethnically about funds, english in particular. they were working on in the nation to war, power lines,

connecting new political plans with the russian lesson. national end of the story and st glance i be under cuz and during the cigarette and community council meeting, russia showed footage of a ukrainian or prisoner of war who confessed to being instructed to plants, explosives at the curse of nuclear power plants and other printing and prisoners said superiors, told them to freely attack civilians in the russian border region, and bends. you added that. some foreign mercenaries have taken part in shocking atrocities their global security concerns. are all references says the west will likely deflect any responsibility and claim that q was to blame. i don't think it really should be a surprise to be so that anyone that's been following us and the complexity of the entering into the incursion and, and the occurs um, i think the west will have the denial or they'll put the blame on

a new frame in new frame intelligence, but, but i think it's uh, you know, highly, highly suspicious, are highly likely that the ukraine to come up with this plan on their own. and, and in the details, the imagery, the intelligence that's necessary to cure this out definitely needed some type of western support. so, so they'll, they'll probably deny it and kind of try to take separate themselves for the most part from it. but the deal put this in the ukraine scored trying to take the site to the restroom. all right, and do stay with us. my colleague union o'neill is in the next with more news in about half an hour by the

i'm action or can see and welcome back to going underground will go single around the world from a u. a e family bought at the bricks family off the president, mom had been side on the hand match with for letting me a put him in moscow before a groundbreaking, somebody in russia with leaders of china, iran, india, and the myriad of the geo political powers of this century, here in this region, the u. k. u s. a u armed holocaust continues exacerbated by the visits of i'm supply so called butcher, blinking us secretary of state who was brought up by calling veto of a most ad spy with just days before a probable donald trump victory holocaust harris. and they're ailing, be the genocide joe, have now deployed the american boots on the ground to ensure the genocide is being a plan decades in the making by them 1st envisaging mass extermination as early as during the summer and should see the massacre. and.
