11:01 am
. but i'm going to say it's not the last word, but the the real question is not what nothing you know, who can do. we've already seen that he can't do much. but what will the united states do? united states enters the fight. then iran will have to deal with us spaces in the region. it suit any part of miller trees, are accused of massacring, holding risks of civilians in multiple village as the overall depth sold in the country. civil war reaches tens of thousands of the wherever you're accounting, then use our from today. hello and welcome. i'm getting an illegal in most people are helping their say in a crucial national low action in the republic of georgia. that interest is high with turn on. it's already helping surpassed 40 percent of eligible voters by saturday afternoon. the georgia dream party has rules since 2012 and they seeking
11:02 am
a 4th straight majority in parliament. well, politicians themselves helping counseling are ballots. georgian presidents, low may zora beach, billy was spotted voting alongside her combat troops. the political divide is a possible note with opposition leaders accusing the incumbent government of peddling and on to europe, nor it's if i'm being soft and russian. but george, in dream itself safe for western functions, are selling the country out. the nations prime minister has even call the elections a referendum on more or piece 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 immoral propaganda full of entre additional values means between the dark past and the bright future. you'll see that there are 2 political forces that are participating in these elections. and one side offers the very
11:03 am
thing that we should leave in the past 40 and we offer our voters, pete's it'd be to economic development and the growth of the country in all directions tell us of as well. 6 are high and emotions are running that way. too scuffles broke out at several voting stations in walnut position octave. explain the rhetoric by george and bring supporters. but the ruling party accuses the active as of inciting on risk and attempting to provoke government support. another video circulating online reports to show people stuffing ballot boxes votes. opt out stations have not been invalidated. more footage captured shows been smashing ballot boxes to our to ship. it was, it isn't typically say until the more about developments voting continues here and to police. see, there is a sense of tension, there's been some local scuffles you've seen, and there's a lot of police, a lot of security on the streets in anticipation of potential trouble in the
11:04 am
aftermath of the, of the results. but i suppose it sort of, uh, it is on surprising given be a really critical nature of the vote today, as you say, it's being billed by the incumbents here. georgia. dream is a referendum on one piece. it's important. remember, georgia is a very small country, less than 4000000 people in the south caucuses. it's an ex soviet republic. it's a lot of economic trials and tribulations. the incumbent, prior to georgia, dream have been in paris has 2012 and they are adamant that they want the economic stability. they want to close working relationship, economic relationship, and a good neighborly relationship with russia. that while a large sort of the conglomerate of opposition parties are standing against them, hoping to to brush them aside for the key issues again is of course the foreign interest in the selection. now while the americans on the european union suggests that russia and china even are involved in these elections,
11:05 am
the voices we hear on the street here in tbilisi and russian, and they're not chinese, they're actually uh, stadiums. canadians, americans, observers, by the doesn't, uh, but america has made its concerns that clear even before or the voting. regardless of of this, 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 it . what exactly is washington so worried about? well, i think it said the trajectory the georgia dream who have been in power since 25. i've been on the georgia dream. i've been very adamant that well, they want to join the european family. they say they want to do it on their terms. they don't wanna be railroaded into, i think they want george and culture of history to be reflected. they want to, you know, culture a, to be decided by the george and people, they pass laws and limiting l g b, t, as they call it propaganda. and more recently, there's been
11:06 am
a law liberating and requiring a n g o's from abroad to declare where they're getting the cash flow. i'm know this is nothing new. does the f r, an agents registration act in the, in the u. s, which has been enforced for decades. of course, people do the same rush as a similar law would when it was moved, it's in georgia, and there was almost complete outrage from the united states suggesting that this was approved next type law as aconia lloyd, despite the fact that they have the similar load themselves and they've also drawn the, are the georgia dream of the you who stopped funding a trip to end this session process. so it's very much about applying pressure to the georgia dream to do things to you if you knew unions way and the american way, rather than addressing the georgian people as they're trying to do today. what are you hearing from folders themselves? and just to add onto what you said earlier, is it looking like a possibility to protest in the aftermath of this ball?
11:07 am
it's like the government has predicted, could occur. i think everybody here expects uh the losing side to take to the streets in some form or another. the 1st thing that happened when we arrive last night was my taxi driver said, you know, we're expecting things to happen, but the police have a heavy presence on the street. you know, i think it's all about the people on the people we have been discussing issues with them. they've been readily talking to us. a lot of people here speak russian. a lot of people speak english. and the vast majority of the we've spoken to are say, look, we want peace, we wants to bill it. and we want to continue to grow a stable relationship in our region while reaching out to europe and anybody else. and let's have a listen to exactly what some of those people told us today. 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
11:08 am
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. we are happy with our government. we love our homeland. we want the best for it. i believe that only the press and government can guarantee us peace, freedom, and prosperity. that is why i came to vote for them. so as you can see, the general sense is one of you know, stability, building, decent relation say i'm not supposed to break so much. again, p people's interests that we're just the future live for countries like jordan to is this a developing countries to a great extent that we are expecting a protest in the optimize the results, which polls suggest will go at george and dreams way. depends on who you ask that. so we're going to be here on the ground tonight, tomorrow, and the next day,
11:09 am
keeping an eye on it for you guys. back home will be feeling in step by step as things develop. well, one of the leaders of another function seeking a successful day at the polls, that's the alliance of patriots, of georgia told r t that western pressure on the nation's domestic affairs of the fact to election interference. so eileen, yeah, nice stuff. the other side statements by you ministers, statements made in high diplomatic circles, lay 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. they'll be some kind of financial sanctions. this is the fact of interference indeed. so in the elections of georgia, whether you pro western or 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
11:10 am
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. the fatal georgia is already being decided now. go to another headline, stories that you're reading and revelation regard court has confirmed that 2 of its soldiers were killed in an overnight his release, trying to run saves the damage. cost to infrastructure was limited with a reading or defense system, successfully intercepting a majority of them. his real should not have tested us,
11:11 am
but it decided to make this mistake and ended up seeing the effectiveness of ross multi layered air defense system, even though is real. use several fighters and drones. the air defenses worked very well. almost all of design is through genes. drones and fighters were destroyed before they could take any action. and these are the reported locations targeted by the is really army which claims a number of military installations where hits with quote, precise drugs video is posted on social media, have shown ballistic missiles being intercepted over the uranium capital might or defenses. or there are 2 correspondents in the region broke down and developments to my colleague richard with 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 armies. spokespersons stayed at the dozens of participate
11:12 am
in fight address, return safely home off the strike and exclusively military targets across iran, including facilities involved in may solve production and launch as well as weapon storage is as an alternative to these rel 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 minister the air force chief commanding the attack for him as well as military headquarters intel ivy 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. our message is clear. all those has threatened the state of israel and 6 to drag the region into wider escalation will pay
11:13 am
a heavy price. off the iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at israel on october 1st has rarely retaliation. it was a matter of when the note, if with a key question being the choice of target and it took as well, almost 4 weeks to respond. likely, these are disagreements between to let even washington over target select since we did 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 the pressure from washington altima, the influence the outcome as, 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 brief before they 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,
11:14 am
but expressed hope that the cycle of violence would end here that stick. listen, the secretary austin visa and the ottoman clause commitments of the united states to israel. security invite to self defense in the face of flats from the wrong 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 her run back to you. so 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
11:15 am
see all those firey sweats, spies rel, vowing to wreak havoc on that rod following it was october, 1st attacked on his well of so i'm what the people i think and how the people have reacted to. are these radiant tie gob echo with what they are wanting. officials have described it uh we simply, we heard from one of the high ranking 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 design this way seems 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
11:16 am
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's rides 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 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 time under the system to defend the sun. again, if it affects us the people to respond the
11:17 am
way our response so all in all for now we need to wait for more information to surface out of this overnight attack by swell against your want to get a sense of whether or not to get wind will respond a multiple states have condemned israel's attack on around study ray, be a seizure really in sovereignty. and international law was violated by the strikes . russia was called for an end to the cycle of violence and criticized the overnight attack for undermining regional stability. restaurants live now to independent journalist. david is a waiter in b route for his tech david. good to see you. thanks for your time today. run with your brother. intercepted most of the drones and miss. so i was launched by issue on the damage was minimal. what this really holding back,
11:18 am
because of washington's warnings or where tear runs military defense is just too strong for the idea of so. so on the, what's your take? well, i believe it's a mix of both. first of all, and they won't have for long said that they have the air defenses domestically made the air defenses. and in addition to, to their defense of the purchase from russia and the usa and their allies have always laughed at them as if and the claim that their domestic air defenses are the, are, is sufficient. that they don't work good the way they should or the way it wrong place. well, throughout this more you run the holy, just so that they do have their defense of the work. in the fact that they don't, these are all the even to prove that they have hypersonic based on support when it comes to these really a topic. i don't think that we're holding back as a, as much as the, were held back. you know, have to look at it from several angles for psycho,
11:19 am
it was very clear that they did not have us support strong enough to conduct a military operation as big as a claim. if you remember leading up the weeks leading up to the attack last night, they will try me during the summer time and even where they've got to take off. how many and cells take out the nuclear infrastructure. take out the air defenses, take out the ballistic missiles manufacturing operations. we do not see any of them . so it's oh, it's a must be a bit embarrassing for as where it is today to to see what they did. because most of the videos we saw from last night was the target being interest of the above the sky. i'll be wrong. well, on the other hand, we saw direct impacts when they attacked the israel. yeah. and they, it seems to be some pride among the readings as well, and not a fence that was held up so well. israel as being threatening to attacked around for weeks as you say, the spike washington's concerns does not signify
11:20 am
a risk that it, that it went ahead in any case between that assault between west jerusalem on as close as i live in foreign policy at least as well. it's been there for a long time now that there is a risk between the current administration and a us and as well. and i think it has to do with the elections. so, so far it's a very close race. we don't know yet. who is going to win is very hard to tell that it might be as close as the la la selections which, which and it didn't like to, i think it was less than a 1000000 the votes difference between to, to kind of that's what we're expecting. we're, we're pretty similar as they are now. but i think the democratic party is trying to win over some of the cultures that are, as i was uh, the only reason i believe that the, that the us try to hold back or scale down on the is where the response given the sense of how you see the overall picture, then regionally,
11:21 am
does the attack increase the chances of, of, of wider s good lation there or will both sides know i consider they've perhaps made their point with, with tit for tat strikes. it's not really tit for tat unless you're on response, because as we know, is there a started this started with that act on the counselor to damascus and then they target at the smile on the inside of the wrong. so for to be that of a tit for tat the around the talked with me earlier in the month with the, with the ballistic missiles. right? exactly. and now is there a thanks again. so i says via goes to, i guess i'm going to be another radio and i'll talk the scale of it. we don't know about the we have to wait to see how big the attack is going to be and how it takes a little bit below. after i am, we've got some responses to watch being developing i, i read it before we started talking david am. but many countries basically
11:22 am
criticizing israel for striking around seeing that the attack violated international law at west reason. say's not, it's how's the right to self defense that the assault was retaliatory and does not have any defense. yeah. well that is the case with israel always, isn't it? but it doesn't hold up well seeing when the international court subtract to prosecute is really war crimes or even is really politicians how that goes. i believe here there's too much political weight on the american side that they put on these institutions that they don't really have any authority over what's happening or a, or even any say. but if you think about what's legitimate under to national them all, well, israel attack 1st. so iran is the one who has the right to, to self defense in this case. yeah. which is something you don't really see, much in mainstream headlines do. you runs right. the self defense,
11:23 am
it seems to be all the other way. david, thanks for your time today. i always get to see you during this and commentary. david is a way to live from level. that coupon get was speaking to archie, uranium academic and commentators side. mom them are on the predicts. so dangerous future for the world should the us become directly involved in the escalation. 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 for, for a very long period of time. remember these underground missile cities and drone cities were created for potential conflict with the united states. when the us invaded the rock and i found the sun and had its huge presence in the persian gulf region, the running into work and deeply concerned. so they created all these well protected underground installations that had huge fire power to determine the united states
11:24 am
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's the real question is not what nothing. you know, 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 ex, works 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 dine card on that in yahoo is leach because he is going to be
11:25 am
punished to offer ken really alarming news emerging from sit down a local human rights watch. dog has accused a part of the electric with of slaughtering dozens of civilians in multiple villages. sit down has been engulfed in full scale civil war between the artist f, malicious in question, and the army since last year with thousands killed and millions more displaced as 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 because there are thousands of people have been killed and injured in

11:27 am
this which ruptured in april of 2023. between the if the if and the obviously it has created one of the most acute crises in the history that the, for 2000000 people space. and as the conflict is closer to full scale international, if it's to contain divided into blocks from the same video to feed for themselves, the international community has been asked to step up. it's if it's since april last year. but nothing notable has been the strength to sedan. the office with the coordination of command turn affairs is gravely concerned by the impact that ongoing arm conflict is 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 local 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
11:28 am
impacting public infrastructure and residential areas. both in north star for and elsewhere with many areas affectively cut off from china and here and assistance. and all these kinds of tasks a force even more raises of many villages to feed their homes. what is worse is that the looting by the i receive at the start off of this attack has also lifted display associations with severe cash shortages and widespread loss of personal funds. but that is not in the morning when they attack us on, you know, doing they attack us on, in the roads as a to us. and we're saving money to closes on even they kill, 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 day weekend we'll find the most or like dead body is very can see it was us who more of like coming to i can see if i saw that in that are in the
11:29 am
smart device. who is like a guy who's on was cars. so they use that houses and they stick a lot of things that you have from those voices. we get to see the statue, the student ease ease until it is devastating. and it shows no signs of coming to an end. it can previous attempts to integrate the 2 powerful industries have not made any success. we've heard the student use armed forces the repeatedly promising to fight until they have secured a mix of victory, an outcome that is small for each given the extent of the receives coming to me, the 2 streets. no where russia continue constructing nuclear plants, several despite those states coming under western pressure for working with most of we us the head of the state of atomic energy corporation about which international projects are happening on the dangers posed by ukraine's attacks on euclid facilities as though it is slick if i get
11:30 am
a hold of these rumors can probably no longer be called rumors. this is the proposal made to us by the president of turk, i mister arrow gun. you talked about it with president putin, and we are currently holding consultations that a government level about the possibility of expanding our presence. in 13, there is a site and seen up near the black sea. we will make every effort and use our best practices that have been developed over the years to implement the project. the final decision is up to the turkish government. but of course, we are keeping our fingers crossed for this decision to be made as soon as possible . at the let me, i do know some of this is one of the most inspiring projects for me, enjoying the unconditional support of both president l. c. c. in president food and it is a great honor for us that draws analogies to this one of them, which was truly a generational project. but we still need to justify that trust. it is clear that there were many def.
