the, the around and confirm this, the desktop 2 soldiers, but safe damage. stimulatory infrastructure in the country is limited. often, overnight is really a talk. the idea follows the strike again. if any responses for the public div, the regime in the wrong word, to make the mistake of the beginning and year round of escalation, we will be obligated to respond to the nation of georgia spellings at a crossroads as crucial parliamentary elections kick off the clock is this country is said to the side whether it's future lies within the orbit of the west, or with full independence. on certain east paula miller trees aren't accused of mustard hundreds of civilians in multiple villages. for death total in the country

civil war, which is tens of thousands of people say no, we're missing the broadcasting for most go 24 hours a day. this is our to international hello and welcome to the news. rob. we begin with briefing news on the program. they are really in revolution regard. court has confirmed 2 of its soldiers were killed in an overnight is released strike. but the around the sage, the damage cause to infrastructure, wasn't limited with their reading or defense system, successfully interest that thing and majority in the sense, 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 time and the alarm provinces this morning and attend section. 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. but these are the reported locations targeted by v as really army who claim a number of military installations were hit with quote, precise strikes. while videos posted on social media. i've shown ballistic missiles being interested at the over the uranium capital by our defenses. earlier r t correspondents in the region for my colleague rachel ruble. what's known 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 fight address, return safely home off the strike and exclusively military targets across iran,

including facilities involved in ms solves production and launch now as well as weapon storages. 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 release photos showing the idea of chief of stop 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 a new year round of escalation, we will be obligated to respond. our message is clear. all those has threatened 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 1st. hays rarely retaliation

was a matter of when the note, if with the key question being the choice of targets. and it took as well, almost 4 weeks to respond. likely, these are disagreements between till are even washington over target selection. whether you asked prefer and likely you hadn't 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, as well as a tag, remains limited in scope with no oil or nuclear facilities targeted 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 rotors that 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 right and a sold, but expressed hope that the cycle of violence would end here that stick. listen

secretary austin vs. and the ottoman clause commitments of the united states to israel security invite to self defense in the face of thoughts from iran and the wrong box terrorist organizations. and the determination to prevent any active from exploits in town 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 can you tell us about the situation there in our 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 sweat spies will, vowing to wreak havoc on that rod following yvonne's october,

1st attack on israel of so i'm what the people i think and how the people have reacted to are these radia tie gob echo with what the are wanting? officials have described it. we simply, we heard from one of a high ranking iranian officials, 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 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 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 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's right 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 is really a violations and aggressive actions against ron on the united states on was the sorry i'm you know, that's, they are behind the i mean outside for you. well, we defend the last fine under the sun again, if it affects us to respond for a few hours. so

all in all. for now, we need to wait for more information to surface out of this overnight attack by swell against the wind to get a sense of whether or not to get wind will respond to many nations have condemn the idea of attack on around, including an american ally in the region, so do you re be a say is real, has violated international law under really and software and see what other states have called for an end to the cycle of violence and criticize the overnight attack for undermining regional stability. we discussed the situation with face really journalist you only then middle king, he say is washington will reward is really for considering the bite and administration's political concerns. well, part of your idea because there was a political, the nation between easily united states and the tween. these are the army and the pentode off, and the americans

a deployed forces and the same day at the craft, the defense me systems to use well, in order to help us to protect itself. if the right hands the retaliate and the this is a full scale nicole, i cooperated operation between these ladies and the americans and they'll cause them. it is an american templates. they don't think bottles to be attacked, but they are assisting is with a to defend itself. even though would be in the weekly age and in order to gain the american support, it easily took into consideration that president biden, and kind of the always a very wary it from a successful it is really it back that day we do that and undermine the successes will come in the house and say being elected this the next president. so these are to get you to call consideration and the americans will you compensate these ready for that? this is no doubt about it is so,

and we're just waiting now for the results of the i'm irritated the american elections in 2 weeks and off the words, this would be a different ball game. and another view on what's happening a really and academic and commentators side behind them around the has predicted a dangerous future for the world should the us become directly involved in the regional escalation. thank you, ron has a huge arsenal of miss 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 drove cities created for potential conflict with the united states. when the us invaded the rock and i found this on and had a huge presence in the persian gulf region. the run into work and deeply concerned

. so they created all these well protected underground installations that had huge fire power to determine the united states. this really, really doesn't have anything mirrored 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's 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 will be seen as hassle, so that would mean an end of boiling gas export 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. and you know, who is lease because he is going to be punished on another big story of the day, people are having their say in a crucial parliamentary election in the republic of georgia. more than 3000 pulling stations are open across the country with turn right, surpassing 22 percent of eligible folders by early saturday afternoon. now the ruling georgia in dream party has been in power for a dozen years. and the seeking of parliamentary majority for the 4th time politicians themselves helping casting their ballots. george and president salome, you're a beach really was spotted voting alongside her competitor. it's will a political divide. it's a wide one, with the opposition leaders like choosing the incumbent, leading party of peddling. and i'm the europe narrative and being soft on russia who themselves say pro western functions are selling the country out. the country's

prime minister, a rock leaf, couple of heads, a house, even call the elections, a referendum on war and peace. in sibley these elections are very decisive and fundamental, plus the direction of the countries development must finally be decided. this is a referendum between war and peace. this is a referendum between a moral propaganda of 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, pete's economic development and the growth of the country in all directions as well as being on rest. online reports described scuffles breaking out at several stations opposition activists claim that they were attacked by georgia, dream supporters, and one of the instance another video circulating supposedly shows people stuffing

ballots into boxes. social media posts claim the observer. his film that was physically assaulted at votes at that station by the way, have been invalidated. while yet more footage captured purports of schuman smashing violet boxes on the day. a as well, many hours to go yet, as locals continued to stream out in big numbers to cast their ballots. some we spoke to say their voting for peace. i think not the elections are final for the sovereignty of george as the summer by say, this is the biggest day, in my opinion, in the life of the republic we are for peace for freedom. we will not obey any one . we all want to live together. i came to the elections because i believe that everyone, all citizens of georgia, should go to the polls. because this is the most important thing for democracy. everyone should choose their voice, their party. russia is our closest neighbor. we must be friends with everyone. i think it's important for the economy. no one wants

a war. people do not want war nor enmity towards each other. well, as we heard there with citizens in georgia viewing the election as a pivotal moment in the countries modern history, washington has been raising its concerns over the countries domestic politics. we've made our concerns very clear about the trajectory of the democratic institutions in election process in georgia and we remain very concerned about it. well, georgia, dream funder bit, seen a yvonne is fully safe. the decision is clear today either vote to elect a government that will serves the people or one that will be foreign instructions are to shape both sent us this report from freedom square in the very hearts of to please, as well i'm a started here in freedom square in the center to police, the georgia, georgia hotel. this, the 4000000 people in the so called says many, many thousands of kilometers away from washington on brussels. we're uh, you know,

uh, as a georgia dream party, the biggest part easier. 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 is if this is a little bit of hip hop received, i barely 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 and strong and steadfast friends to the people of georgia. unfortunately, this powerful bond has recently come under the withering attack of the ruling georgia dream party. the georgia dream government has openly renounce the longstanding democratic and euro atlantic choice as 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 far an agency united states has had a far, an agents registration act for decades united states on particularly and to be blake. and so i agree, it seems on, on a copy that georgie, just passing laws which defended sovereignty. and essentially, the georgia law, the for an agency, the registration or the same is georgia version of it brought to the table. both of the front of, 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 and 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 at georgia dream remembered democratically elected by the majority of people. the vast majority of the over 60 percent voting for the agents of research and see who the parties were most aggressive. the opposed to the new legislation were of assumed itself for on the phone. 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 the 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 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 divides here at the national coalition that are facing towards you based on georgia deep want to follow a european pa to be patient. this is georgia. dream said they want to do it their way sensitive to georgia institution, 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, people say choose peace. we don't want to have a called a white on 2 point, 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 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 had tools the united states wants to achieve some sort of regime change here. the color revolution bite on 2 point. oh, as the georgia people go to the polls, the noise will be uh on to police 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 led coalition and the 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, it will be here following the story, every step of the way, shape it was in the george and capital that one of the leaders have another function seeking a successful the there of the polls is the alliance of patriots, of georgia. the total r t, that western pressure on the nation's domestic affairs. that's the fact the election interfered. so let me um, use the filter side statements by you ministers. statements made in high diplomatic circles, les american invoice, it is all directly declared that if georgia does not choose a pro western pass, our visa free travel to europe will be suspended. there will be some kind of financial sanctions. this has the fact of interference indeed. so no elections of georgia, whether you pro western coal, pro george and whether you support conservatives, georgia, dream, national. let's put this all to the side. let's look at the facts. if a high ranking official from another country says that if you do not make a specific choice in your country,

we will punish you. this is the fact to election interference. so election interference is already taken place and it is clear that the ukrainian scenario will be used here. we know that the struggle will decide the fate of georgia, the fate of the entire region. you will decide whether georgia will follow the footsteps of the green, and whether we will see bern, cds in human tragedy here. or if we will avoid it and will move towards normalizing relations with our neighbors. this is what is now being decided. the other side, the pro westerners, are putting it that way too. everything is at stake. we can see that this selection is all in. everything is at stake. fatal georgia is already being decided now. no alarming news emerging from sit down a look of human rights watch dog has accused the part of military group of slaughtering dozens of civilians in multiple religious sit down has to be engulfed in full scale civil war between the r s. f. militias in question. i'm the army

since last year, with thousands killed and millions more displaced of the rapid support forces continued their incursion and blockade campaigns. on the 25th of october 2024, targeting a large number of villages. dozens of civilians have been killed in the villages of also rehab 50 dead, 200 wounded according to our r c. s. as rock besieged all the mob, 13 dead in addition to the displacement of tens of thousands of villages east of the 0. well, let's get more from our t correspondent. you look for you couldn't gay on this. vin number, just stunningly stark, on this latest brute, like really putting into focus hard peace negotiations off to know how things work . absolutely, you know, that is true. in fact, as the heard,

the thousands of people have been killed and injured in a series of attacks by the rapids support forces on villages in out a 0 state and central. so dawn, we understand that to the attacks that talk to the towns offices who caught my noon and tom boyles, the dates up tool remains incomplete to do to communication disruptions and the ongoing series for missing people. but the attacks all believed to be in retaliation for the defection rather office senior. obviously if combined, who has now joined disability call me his name is apo. i've tried to call and get calls to fix it and is the reason behind the waves of displacement that we see now . and because off he's to fiction, the receive 5 to have been quite a few weeks in which on a rampage of multiple towns and villages, east and move off out as you rush, shooting thousands of civilians and displacing many other people also knows that

many people at this moment would say to us that this is not new, but it is new for the once come regions of eastern tissue state, which has now been transformed into one of the most active back to rumsey, and so done. and this will which erupt it in april of 2023, between the se, if and the receive as created. one of the most acute crises in history would move that into full 2000000 people in the space. and as the conflict is closer to full scale civil war international, if it's to contain the violence have loss, we failed, leaving civilians to fend for themselves to a point where there's also been a rise in self defense initiated, which has been fueled by the i receive some brutal actions across the country and the inability to obviously to these forces to protect civilians and go talking about his staggering 26000000 people. more than half of that population needing to maintain been assistance for 1000000, forced to flee their homes. and about 8500000 in emergency levels of hunger. the

international community has been asked to step up and see if it's since april last year. but nothing notable has been done. this is what the united nations, as recently, seat training to sedan the office where the coordination of your manager and affairs is gravely concerned by the impact that ongoing arm conflict as having on civilians in many parts of the country in north star for alone. the international organization for migration reports in just 6 months. some 410000 people have been displaced. the look held in the locality of l, sasha. many of them had already been displaced at least once, over the course of this conflict. as we continue to receive reports of civilian casualties and indiscriminate attacks impacting public infrastructure in residential areas, both in north star for and elsewhere with many areas affectively cut off from here and here and assistance. now these college attacks are forced even more res vince of many villages to feed their homes. what is worse is that the machine by the i

receive at the start off of this attack has also lifted display system issues with severe cash shortages and widespread loss of personal funds. but that is not have listened to this in the morning when they attack us on, not doing, they attack us on the roads. they took us and was saving money for closes. and even they killed, you know, on the left this on the frames. so you know, that was difficult time because they, they did, you know, such a horrible things, you know, other ways to either we can, we'll find them on so like dead body. so you can see it was like coming to uh to can people. so they didn't that are in that are too smart device is like guns and with cars. so that means that housing sends a stick. got a lot of things that to have from those voices we get,

it seems that to the student use who is brutal. it is devastating and it shows no signs of coming to an end. the receive is accused of atrocities against civilians. while on the other hand, you see that is a full so being accused of pumping civilian targets and critical infrastructure. the knots of nations and international rights groups that say that these actions amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity is not going to be out to 0. but also in the western region of the food which has been facing a put top on slots by the i received again for previous a t is to integrate the 2 powerful minutes. she's not limited to any success. we've heard the student needs armed forces repeatedly promising to fight until they have secured a victory, an outcome that is small for each given the extent of the receives coming, submitted to speak, take care through the deadly developments in sit down are cheese new. if you can

get, thank you. well, terrorism has costs the continent of africa over a $170000000000.00 over the past decade. that is, according to morocco's permanent representative to the african union. the african continent has suffered economic losses amounting to a $171000000000.00 due to terrorism. over the past decade, the activities of terrorist groups in africa have devastating consequences, causing a people mass displacement of populations and leading to significant human casualties . as an astonishing amount isn't what west africa is. one of the world's extreme. hist hotspots with the global terrorism index ranking this a hell region of the center of milton finance javascripts with links to al qaeda or islamic states of kills thousands of civilians in the space. millions across burkina faso molly and is your in recent years. but somalia also refined conflict

ahead of the molly based stuff, working party for integration software and see who the car book home stays. western states don't, don't really care about sectarian violence in this. a hell of a can be used to undermine african socrates and keep that deep grip on the areas rich resources. a bit sensitive based revelation makes it abundantly clear that we are in facts, in what we call a global economic war nature. countries are deliberately putting us in the small situation, which is fine that's by violent extremist movements. they always want to drag africa down the great problem, softening security, that we are obliged to resolve, not only by killing young people quite inside the future discount seats. if not the continental, secondly, we spent a great deal of money resolving these issues which impoverished us already. we know that on the economic checkbook, we don't have a great writing. the global economy definitely give us enough space of resources and materials of basically disappearing.
