just after 11 p. m here in the russian capital and you're watching r t international. i am your host on the quarter. welcome to the program. we start this news hour in the south conferences where according to the georgia in central election committee, the ruling party is leading the race with at least 53 percent of the parliamentary boats. that's over 70 percent of the ballots cast today have already been counted. full results are expected to be in on sunday. income and georgia. dream party is already busy celebrating with fireworks and downtown to police. see, they're also hosting a festive motorcycle parade through the city streets. scores and the government supporters are gathering near the party headquarters as they await. statements from officials are to shape bows. reports from the thick of the action in georgetown. will the poles have closed indeed,

and i'm going to give you some numbers. now the electoral commission preliminary daddy says that the final vote or turn it will was over 58 percent and they also a port the according to the results, more than 70 percent of the pallets have been counted. now that gives the georgia dream 53 percent of the vote and the the they claim to have received 90 seats. that means they will 90 seats out of $150.00 in the countries part of the world of official results until sunday. but georgia and 3 definitely a topic, the polls here in georgia. well, previous elections in georgia. shay, they've been really marred by violence. how's it looking so far? this time around? we've been here on the ground all day. generally things have been quiet. there's been some minor score falls. there's been some fall of foxes, a, some scuffles and fights really between different factions. but nothing really, of,

of huge nose that could be due to the fact difficulties. prime minister had recently signed a decrease under which the seizure of blocking of any state facilities, etc, could be punished by several years in prison. and that so as to george and speaker of the parliament here said the opposition with the support of foreign n g o z, a firm funded n g o's. he'll be planning to challenge the legitimate results of the election. we see signs that there are preparations for october 27 to repeat the scenario of 2020 with non governmental organizations. and the opposition sought to change the government in a non democratic way. the goal was to declare the parliament illegitimate. stop it from convening and to force snap elections referred to various factions a to see the other of causing publications at various points. throughout the day

we've had people being very, very positive with us about being happy to talk with many people here speak russian, the english. and we can actually have a listen to some of them giving us their views on how they voted and why they voted that way. 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. 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 pretty much every time george has had some sort of significant political event going on. i mean,

the west seems to feel like it has to give its opinion or even get involved directly. i mean, there's been times where they've threatened the country with sanctions. so what about this time around? what's been the reaction to this country's election so far from the west? well, it's been predictable. i think it's no secret that the rest, the on happy with the, the governmental program, a georgia dream to the power here since 2012. and they have been quite vocal in that and they're very eager to talk about election interference in the united states or anywhere else. but they seem very happy to interfere the boy their inputs, if you like, in the solvent elections here in georgia. and none the less than jake sullivan was very clear and very adamant. and very fortunate in his comments before the vote that even taking place. 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. i suppose we'll see, concern is of the u on united states a and e. you have now trying to withdraw funding on the basis of some of the legislative done to the georgia dream, for example, to go from the top of doing here, particularly in relation to l. g beach and q saw for down a pass bills to limit the they've also passed bills to find out who exactly is funding begins. heroes who are aggressively and energetically funding the opposition here. remember the opposition essentially a broad coalition of various different parking some too small if even registered at a 5 percent in the polling to make any impacts. also important to note that the legislation of the united states, so aggressively at complaining about, suggesting the chinese and rushing interference here is legislation essentially modeling american legislation. the for an a just registration i think has been of her in power in united states for, for decades. so it's no surprise that the you, the ceiling very low, the, because it's not getting its own way here in georgia. and it certainly seems that

they're not going to get the wrong way here in georgia, as a georgia dream party. and it's a opposition have all stated, they want to follow a european pathway. what georgia dream is said, we want to do it on our own terms, on the basis of the requirements of the georgia people. their cultural sensitivity use their religious sensitivities, as opposed to being dictated to whether you buy brussels or by washington until night. it's been made quite clear, it seems that georgia dream we'll be looking at another term. i mean, we'll hopefully find that out on sunday for sure, but they've definitely got the lion's share of the vote so far here. at least we spoke with a former georgian lawmaker who says that the results of the vote reflect the nations disappointment with the west. the ocean ocean ocean was made. yeah, these are very important elections. probably more important than any previous around the world is being driven by major to political changes. for example,

the global shift towards it is important which side georgia will stand on. it is important that our future steps and decisions correspond to the realities. people understand this too, so the ruling party is likely to when people understand that we cannot allow the previous regime to attempt to power the opposition may try to organize rights. even before the vote. the west explicitly stated that the elections will be re, i think that in the coming days, the rhetoric of the west will change because they did not want to lose georgia. we seem to have lost them a long time ago. i respect patients and their actions turned out to be ok. we expect one thing, we get something completely different. events in cream, in general, removed over the masks and people begin to understand much more for geo politics, really stance the. we're going out to the middle east where the rainy and revolutionary guard corps has confirmed the depths of 2 of its soldiers, and israel's overnight strikes. drawn says the damage caused to infrastructure was

limited though with air defense system successfully intercepting a majority of the idea of missiles around his also accused us of complicity in the attack facilities through gene small planes attacked several later on in mil to the end of the sites from the rocky space, approximately 70 miles from the runs border iraqi. a space is on the the occupation command and control of the us. mailed 3 conclusion us complacently and describe a certain as you see on the screen. now the reported locations targeted by the idea of which claims a number of military installations were hit with quote, precise strikes. while videos posted on social media have shown ballistic missiles being intercepted over the reigning capital by air defenses. earlier today, our middle east bureau chief for you, if an ocean i broke down, the regional developments to my colleague rachel ruble highly anticipated as really

a tac last day. the roughly 4 hours at around 6 am local time on such a the idea of announced that it had completed its limited operation in iran, named the days of response in retaliation for around 6 total attacks. and how many folks 1st to say that the dozens of participated in size address return safely home office like an exclusively military target. the cost a lot, including facilities involved in ms. solve production and launched as well as lesson storages. as a whole, tennessee, israel also told her they were on the surface to air. and this also sends an arrow key facilities to expand as well of freedom of aerial operations in around the under really is photos showing the idea chief of stop defense minister, the air force chase commanding the attack from his rouse military headquarters in tel aviv with a prominent student in general, 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 of all those is 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 themselves at israel on october 1st. his 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 have disagreements between to let even washington over target selection with us prefer and likely you had limited response to avoid triggering a full scale war. and for the risk collection in the region. it appears of 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 reading a sold, but expressed hope that the cycle of violence would end here. let's take a lesson secretary, austin vs. and the ottoman clause commitments of the united states to israel security and provide to self defense in the face of threats from the wrong and the wrong box, terrorist organizations. and the determination to prevent any acts 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

a multiple states have condemned israel's attack on around south africa has called the idea of striking unacceptable violation of a rainy and sovereignty. while rushes urging an end to the cycle of violence and is criticized the overnight attack. for undermining regional stability. american syrian journalist and political commentator stevens. so he says the is rarely strike fell far short of expectations while iran is actually seeking to de escalate the situation. israel threatened to destroy. yeah. well, what been storage is destroys military bases, destroys oil wells, button dandy does not do all of that. everyone's salt and then from there, the status of the benjamin that to know and these cabinets is always going to be a massive, very at attack and destruction. but as we see that there was not that much damage

doors that the. busy media distance is shut down almost all of the missiles so, and this won't take the reason into a reason why the same time you're on once to decrease the situation because who wants to increase the situation and the tension. and the reason is when jimmy mentioned y'all, when you're on doesn't want to get when jimmy mentioned y'all, unexcused to cause a war in the, the do not want to give him a gift. and 11 non local officials claim is rarely strikes, killed 19 people. on friday, 3 journalists were among the victims. the idea of hit a compound were medial workers were staying at ortiz. steven sweeney reports from a funeral procession, and they root as a community in morning. as i gather for the funeral of all my danger and discuss on nash, i'm hundreds of either an alman or come or afraid to with some coffee on friday is well killed them is they slipped missile, destroying among the like a place they thought they would say they were on, on the only weapon they had was

a camera. perhaps a weapon is ralph is the most. this is by mr. here, district subjected to intense his way to go above and for the past 4 weeks. last night it struck the guy told me you think building is close to a school in the hospital with nothing of limits, something of the funeral might also be a target for as well. who is in cognitive highly respects is it for the example that final resting place, his emotions are running high as you'd expect. among the 2, there was defiance. we will not be side. is that called a say, even as a kid us, we will continue to raise our voices. they were sons, father's brothers, but now they are sons of old of lebanon. the people say malta is, who will live forever. the king of the 2 and this has been denounced as a war crime. the late is committed by as well as it seeks to silence critical voices. this is an assassination of the monitoring and tracking with pre meditation and planning, as the 18 june this present location,

representing 7 medial institute levels of information ministers. he has not gonna be said to death. toll continues to rise haven lab along according to the latest statistics on the health industry. more than 2 and a half 1000 people have now been killed since october, the exhaust. yeah. lebanon varies. it said the people are almost getting when will this whole are? and this is these really for all team in favor of announcing northern guys, and we're at least 35 palestinians have reportedly been killed and is rarely strikes that hit residential areas in bad law. he a city, just a warning, you may find the following images. a bit disturbing. it's, it's circulating online, appears to show some of the palestinian victims of that idea of attack flattens. several buildings in the area is i've had a couple emergency services, say a number of people are bleeding house at the scene of stripe rescue or say they are currently unable to operate in the area as it remains under id episode

just comes just hours after is rarely forces withdrew from the besieged. come all odd, one hospital in the same area of northern gauze. earlier the local health ministry reported that hundreds of medics, patients and displaced palestinians were detained by the id f during a raid on the medical facility hospitals. director said it is rarely tanks. fire on the compound were few hours away from the death of all these people. how long can this continues? instead of receiving aid, we receive tax tanks that are showing the building which law allows for a hospital to be directly targeted. where is this law just now the come all add one hospital was directly show. this is a catastrophe where the humanitarian laws, enough already, this is happening too often are injured, are turning into martyrs. instead of receiving aid, we receive tanks, direct showing. what did they want from us? our rights are supposed to be protected under humanitarian law. disturbing images

from inside the hospital show, a number of seriously injured children is rarely times were spotted surrounding the besieged facility is the idea of claims to be operating against terrorist targets in the areas the official se palestinian civil defense operations had been completely halted in the northern part of the enclave, due to constance is really a tax on emergency. we spoke with one of the civil defense representatives mode buzz, all who says the adf is blocking age 2 civilians in the area or they sit on the somebody is rarely occupation, always promotes lies and uses terms that have dual meetings or multiple interpretations. now the is really occupation claims that it is bringing 8 into northern gaza. but the reality is that the northern gaza strip is divided into 2 parts. garza city and the northern gauze of governor of the northern gauze of governor. it has not received any aid at all for $28.00 days. in the humanitarian situation, there is very difficult. as for gaza city,

some relief trucks are entering, but they do not meet the citizens needs. additionally, the israeli occupation always claims that shelters and hospitals are considered terror centers in order to gain the authority to raid them or justify these violations to the international community. unfortunately, these hospitals have a specific role in nature of work and treating patients and using doctors to provide emergency and medical services to citizens. and there are absolutely no military activities there be as rarely, occupation knows the nature of their work and recognizes our orange best. and doctors also have clear symbols. everyone including the as rarely occupation knows the symbol. if the as rarely occupation had any belief that we're involved in any political or military field. we would have been targeted from the beginning of the war. but they know that we work in broad daylight under is rarely plains, that constantly hover in the skies. unfortunately, they want to create justifications to bomb destroy and sabotaged the system in

northern gaza and throughout the strip. certainly the party responsible for the difficult humanitarian situation in the gaza strip is the israeli occupation. when they empty the northern gum, the rate of citizens and deprived them of food essentials for life, water medicine and completely dismantled emergency services and shut down the entire civil defense system. they are responsible for the consequences of this military operation. currently happening in the job aliya area. we're now talking about nearly a 1000 citizens killed in northern gaza, including those in hospitals. those under the rubble and those on the roads whom the civil defense teams cannot reach or do anything for. therefore, the party responsible for these martyrs and for the fate of the detainees, and the citizens currently in northern gaza, is the israeli occupation. it is required to provide them with all the rights and resources needed to keep them alive. but now it is fighting,

killing besieging and demolishing buildings with people inside, while the whole world watches the. now the news, king charles has acknowledged quote, painful aspects of britons passed while side stepping calls to directly address reparations for slavery. at a summit of commonwealth leaders, i understand from listening to people across the commonwealth, have the most painful aspects about post, continue to resonate. it is vital that full that we understand history, to guide us to make the right choices in the future. as we look around the world and consider is many, deeply consenting challenges that us choose within the hour, cut models from the language of community and respect and reject the language of division. none of us can change the past,

but we can commits with all thoughts to learning is less and to finding creative ways to write any qualities that in jewel to the british monarchs stopped short of delivering a proper apology. officials in former u. k. colonies across africa and the caribbean had been calling on london to financially compensate their nations for centuries of the notes. busy of the slave trade, but prime minister kiera storm, or his government ruled out any reparations ahead of the commonwealth summit in some hour or 2 corresponding to my issue har, takes us through the ramifications of the former empires. legacy. the process break summit has overshadowed the commonwealth summit, and that's not surprising because of all brakes feasible states and peoples as equals the u. k. stance wrong. and it's believe that well is colonial legacy of slavery is not worth a serious discussion. i've talked to a lot of our commonwealth colleagues in the commonwealth family and they're facing

real challenges on things like climate in the here and now and, and all the conversations i've had with them. what they're most interested in is, can we help them working with international institutions, financial institutions, on the sorts of packages they need right now in relation to the challenges they're facing right now? that's where i'm going to put my focus rather than what will end up being very long . endless discussions about reparations on the past. that despite calls from leaders of some common wealth nations urgent and to acknowledge the atrocities that committed during the transatlantic slave trade. and to at least have an honest conversation about it. i don't know that money in and of itself could adequately compensate for the rooms of the past. the ghost that holds us today cannot be in my view dispelled by a monetary gift. there should be a come to jesus moment when we truly looked at one another in the eye and say, look, this is what happened. they called me well, the summit has highlighted that britain is a long time april and so its former colonies is finally declining. the guest list

certainly isn't as impressive as long the wanted to have the most powerful commonwealth leaders who would normally be present. the indian prime minister and the south african president boats, not the event. they often to attend the brick summit in russia instead, and not even the leader of canada. a close ally of the u. k is attending, while london's refusal to talk reparations is leading to even more people turning their backs on the former colonial center in the, on the moon, each other smoothly as much as i would miss people

. yes, it is now time for us to end our historical ties with the monkey and stand holy on our own. we need a jamaican head of state who truly represents all values, culture and aspirations, and who will symbolize our full sovereignty, even the commonwealth games, a sport event, gathering, appetites from applause. the former colonies are falling apart. in july, last year, the australian states of victoria pulled out as a host of the 2026 games, while older as fairly in states and territories, also rejected hosting them. and while london watches what remains of its former colonial powers slipping through his fingers last shot and his brigs partners, i team enough to build a world free of any forms of neo colonialism. german arms industry giant ryan montalvo says it has launched its 1st factory as an undisclosed location inside ukraine and the firms director, fines. there's plenty more to come. things are progressing. the 1st plan is ready.

the 2nd is on its way. i am now insisting on accelerating all of this because we don't have time. we can't afford to lose. the 3rd point is that we want to establish the production of air defense systems. the sermon has been busy providing weapons, shells, and armored vehicles to crane the conflict has already seen ryan mattel's prophet sore, and the company is expected to make a record high 10000000000 dollars this year. we got the reaction from german officer and war correspondent thomas roper. he says that the european firm doesn't seem worried about the prospect. so it's brand new factory, being bombs and ukraine for right metal it's, it's a win win win win situation. and they receive orders from the crane paid for the west. if something happens to the factory, the german government pays. so for them, it's just a win, win, win. and your train gets weapons from the west as much as they can give. if she had

one factory, okay, uh, this will not change anything on the back of your as transferred so that you create is empty. uh so this will not help it's, it's over. it's just that they are just buying some time by printing more money for the best than military just for the country, a complex and by killing more people, but it will not make a change. this comes in at a rapid ukrainian retreat on the battlefield where russian troops are gaining ground every single day. he ever stepping up the force of mobilization of civilians as it struggles to replenish losses. social media footage from the eastern ukrainian city, a product of shows camouflage demand snatching locals right off the streets. recruitment officers are reportedly stationed every 100 meters along the roads. there meant the chaos and ukraine vladimir zalinski has quietly signed a law that allows foreigners to hold officer posts in the countries military rushes foreign ministry spokeswoman says the move,

we'll see more cannon fodder on the front lines. you know, for income owners can more actively finish off ukrainians by throwing them into the meat grinder, they'll make sure that your premiums won't be able to take p d on seller ukrainians by not sending them to their deaths. that's not what zalinski is being paid for. german officer and war correspondent thomas roper again says, the lack of trained soldiers means more western weapons won't do. the trick for kids. ukraine has to be gets enough weapons. i think the problem is you can't, it doesn't have enough source of ukrainian army knows even allowing for an s to be has to be become office. and you can have a problem with sol just with offices. so you can do some web webpage. but if they're not happy enough to train soldiers who can use them, it doesn't make any change. so it's, it's part of this less than a program printing money. they can give money to the, um yeah. how do you call it industrial complex?

and then they get the money. so the weapons in the us, in german factories that writing the child and now they have one more effectively. i think this will not make any big change. so you're watching r t international. sit around for more news and just about 30 minutes the i'm action or can see and welcome back to going underground pool. got single around the world from a u. a e family, positive break family off. the president, mom had been side on the hand match with vladimir putin 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. e u on the holocaust continues exacerbated by the visits of i'm supply, circle, butcher, blinking the us secretary of state who was brought up by compete all of a most ad spy with just days before a probable donald trump victory, holocaust harris and their 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 entity, the massacre of $198211.00. and joining me now from amman, jordan is professor that would, could tab calling this for our music monitor. and so i'm a professor of journalism at princeton university grants a good job. thank you so much clear than that. is there any jews and not fleeing? who are leading israel, i believe it's now a fight to the death support for nothing. you know, it all time highs design is regime and d. c giving another $5200000000.00. if you.
