painful aspect to brittany's past during the commonwealth summit in tomorrow, but he still didn't apologize. the you're watching r t international. i'm your host donald quarter to have you on the program. now we start this news hour in the south congress's, where, according to the georgian central election commission, the ruling party is leading the race with around 60 percent of the parliamentary votes. as most of the ballots cast on saturday, have been counted with the final results due later on sunday. the incumbent georgian dream party has already been celebrating with fireworks in downtown tbilisi and also hosted a festive motorcycle parade throughout the city streets. meanwhile, scores that the government supporters gathered near the party headquarters, arcade shaped boats took us through saturdays developments in the georgia. in fact,

the polls have closed indeed, i gotta give you some numbers. now the electoral commission preliminary daddy says that the final vote or turn it was over 58 percent and they also report the according to the results, more than 70 percent of the pallets how been counted. won't have official results until sunday, what georgia in dream definitely a topic, the polls here in georgia. well, previous selections in georgia. shay, they've been really marked 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 that the cookies prime minister had recently signed the decree. on the which the caesar or blocking of any state

facilities, etc, could be punished by several years in prison. and that's us to george and speaker of the parliament tier said the opposition with the support of foreign n g o z. a firm form to the end. jose could 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. we've had the various functions of curiousity, the other of causing provocations 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 and english. and we can actually have

a listen to some of them giving us their views on how they voted. and what dave old is that, what is the summer, but 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, maybe their party. russia is our closest neighbor that 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 go to 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? it's no secret that the rest, that one's happy with the, the governmental program of georgians named susan in power here since 2012. and they have been quite vocal in that and they're very eager to talk about election at the fence in the united states or anywhere else. but they seem very happy to interfere by their inputs, if you like, in the solving elections here in georgia and known, 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 you on united states, a and e. you have now to withdraw funding on the basis of all that. some of the

legislative done in the georgia dream go from the top of doing here particular in relation to l. g. b, to suffer down states hospitals to live with us. they've also passed bills to find out who exactly gets funding begin. vios, who are aggressively and energetically following the opposition here. remember, the opposition is set to be a broad coalition of various different parking some too small, if even registered at a flight percent in the poli, to making the impacts. also important to note that the legislation of the united states, so aggressively 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 in power and power in united states for, for decades. so it's no surprise that the u. s. a shifting very low b 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 of the 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. there, cultural sensitivity use their religious sensitivities as opposed to being dictated to for the e. u by brussels or by washington until night. it's been made quite clear, it seems the georgia dream. we'll be looking at another term and we will hopefully find that out on sunday for sure. but they definitely got the lion's share of the votes so far here in georgia in the opposition parties have accused the government of rigging the election. they've also vowed to protest the results of the vote later on sunday. those statements were published in english instead of their native georgia. the restaurants were stolen. this is a cool. the georgia dream party is responsible for aid, and they will be held accountable. our and equivocal decision is that the georgia dream will not remain in power. it's a constitutional coup. we did not recognize the outcome of this stolen election as

betray by this central election commission. we will fly until the end of this regime. political strategist and commentator anthony webber says that the george and the opposition is involved is in bold and by western support for regime change . it's really a box full of people who want what is best for their tongues, for it is to say, put forward by the georgia dream policy, the right of i do want to see you on the you because i wanted to join on time as well as i remain friendly with russia on the arctic rush, commendable cheese, and the wall on said piece as the right stable relations, economic and electrical widow at night, but it is waived the fall that's a hotel to be and i think one of the points about the georgia dream policies and sign. so that be on the georgia should be dropped and invested in fresh to the

georgia people and not have a opponent. richard paid off the paper, we're actually on behalf of fall on interest. or i just think it's interesting that the fund into the time sitting this election seems to have provides full policies which wasn't necessarily 100 percent get along with a shop by coming into some sort of l. actual alarms. i'm just trying to see the georgia dream policy is a very sort of interesting election. and from what i have to say, what happens, we turn now to the middle east. the rainy and revolutionary guard corps has confirmed the depths of 4 of its soldiers, and israel strike on saturday. surround says that the damage cause to infrastructure was limited though with air defense system successfully intercepting most of the idea of missiles. ron has also accused us of complicity the villainous

routine. small planes attacked several around in mil to the end of the sites from a rocky space, approximately 70 miles from the rounds border. iraqi, a space is on the, the occupation command, and control of the us mailed 3 conclusion. us complacently in this crime is certain on your screen or the reported locations targeted by the adf, which claims a number of military sites were hate, with so called precise strikes. while videos on social media apparently showed missiles being shot down over the rainy and capital drawn says it has a right to defend itself, and it's retaliation will be quote, deliberated. earlier on saturday, our middle east bureau chief maria for national, broke down the regional developments to my colleague rachel ruble, a highly anticipated as really a tac last day. the roughly 4 hours at around 6 am local time. on sunday,

the idea of announced that it had completed its limited operation in iran, named the days of response in retaliation for a runs october attacks and armies. folks, 1st in the state of the dozens of participate in fight address, return safely home off the strike and exclusively military targets across iran, including facilities involved in mississauga production and launched as well as western storage is as an old tennessee, israel also target heard a ron surface to air missile systems and air capabilities to expand israel's freedom of aerial operations in around the under released photos, showing the idea of chief of stop defense administer the air force chase commanding the attack from his rouse military headquarters, intel ivy with a prime minister in den 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 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 missiles 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 are disagreements between to let even washington over target selection with you as prefer and likely you had a limited response to avoid triggering a full scale war. and for the risk collection in the region. it appears that the 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 previous claims and warnings. the targets were confirmed with washington. an american officials were repulsively briefed before the strikes. of course, however,

an american source told reuters that's the u. s. was not directly involved in this attack. washington, i 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. that stickler some the secretary austin visa and the ottoman 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 multiple states have condemned israel's

attack kind of run south africa has called the idea of striking an unacceptable violation of a rainy and sovereignty. all russia is 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 really says the is rarely strikes how far short of expectations while a run is actually seeking to de escalate the situation. israel threatened to destroy uh, what from storage is destroyed, military bases destroyed. oil wells button dandy does not do all of that. everyone salt and then from there the statements of the gym and that's in, you 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 towards the. busy in the near distance is shut down almost all of the missiles. so, and this won't take the region into

a reason why the same time you run once this decrease the situation because who wants to increase the situation and the tension. and the reason is, benjamin the thing you know when you're on doesn't want to get been jimmy mentioned y'all, an excuse to cause a war in the region of the do not want to give him a gift. now to northern gaza, we're at least $35.00 palestinians have reportedly been killed and is really strikes that hit residential areas in bates like he a city. just a warning you may find the following. images disturbing, as for the circulating online, appears to show some of the palestinian victims. the idea of the attack had flattened several buildings in the area. local emergency services say a number of people are leaving out associating with the strike. rescuers are currently unable to operate there and i made the ongoing idea episode is comes just hours after is really forces with through from the besieged, come all odd one hospital and on the same area of northern cause. i'm remember

earlier the local health ministry reported that hundreds of medics patients, that displaced palestinians were detained by the id f. during a raid on the medical facility hospitals. director said is really tanks fire directly on the top 2 hours away from the depths of all these people and how long can this continue. 2 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 do they want from us? our rights are supposed to be protected under humanitarian law. the more disturbing images from inside the hospital show, a number of seriously injured children. rarely tanks were spotted surrounding the

besieged facility as the idea of claims to be acting against terrorism in the area . official se palestinian civil defense operations had been completely halted. and the northern part of the enclave due to constant, is rarely a tax on emergency teams. we spoke with a civil defense representative loc mode. muscle who says that the id f is blocking 82 civilians in the area for to sit on the somebody is really occupation, always promotes lies and uses terms have dual meetings or multiple interpretations . now the is rarely occupation claims that it is bringing aid into northern gaza. but the reality is that the northern gaza strip is divided into 2 parts of the gaza city in the northern gauze of governor and 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 a money order as for gaza city, some relief trucks are entering, but they do not meet the citizens needs. additionally,

these really occupation always claims that shelters and hospitals are considered terror centers in order to gain the authority to rate 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. these really 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 sky. unfortunately, they want to create justifications to bomb destroy and sabotaged the system in

northern gaza and throughout the strip. but certainly the party responsible for the difficult humanitarian situation in the gaza strip is the israeli occupation. when they empty the northern governor 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 layer area, we're now talking about nearly a 1000 citizens killed in northern gauze, including those in hospitals. the, those under the rubble, black and white and those on the roads in the civil defense teams cannot reach or do anything for therefore the party responsible for these martyrs. and for the state 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 what,

what besieging and demolishing buildings with people inside. while the whole world watches the german arms industry giant riding the tall says it's launched its 1st factory at an undisclosed what location inside ukraine. the firms chief claims, there's plenty more where that came from. 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 it. the 3rd point is that we want to establish the production of air defense systems in germany's been providing weapons, shells, and armored vehicles do you crate. the conflict has already seen ryan montalvo profit sore, and the company is expected to make a record high 10000000000 dollars this year. we got reaction from german officer and war correspondent thomas roper. he says that the european firm does not seem worried about the prospect. so it's brand new factory being bombed in ukraine. for right mentally, it's a win 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 you train gets weapons from the west as much as they can gift. if you had one factory, okay, this will not change anything on the back of your it's transferred so that you create this. and 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 in the 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 forest mobilization of civilians as it struggles to replenish lawson for media footage from the eastern ukrainian city. a product of shows camouflage demand snatching locals right off the streets.

and recruitment officers are reportedly stationed every 100 meters along the roads . there meant the chaos in ukraine. vladimir zalinski has quietly signed the law that allows foreigners to hold officer posts in the countries military. rushes for an 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 you craniums won't be able to take p d on cell of ukrainians by not sending them to their deaths. that's not what zalinski is being paid for. german officer at work or a spot, and thomas roper once again says, the lack of trained soldiers means more western weapons won't do the trick for kias . ukraine has to be gets enough weapons. i think the problem is you can't, it doesn't have enough surface of ukrainian army knows even allowing for an s to be has to be become office. and you can have problem with sol just with offices. so

you can do so what, what fits. but if they're contacting us to train soldiers, we can use them, it doesn't make any changes. so it's, it's part of this less than a program printing money and they can give money to the, um yeah. how do you call it? industrial complex of each and then they get the money so they want other weapons in the us in german factories that provide mutual they know they have one more attractive i think this will not make any change in avenues. king charles has acknowledged, quote, painful aspects of britain, his past well side stepping calls to directly address reparations for slavery. at a summit of common wealth leaders, i understand from listening to people across the commonwealth, i have the most painful aspects about pause to continue to resume. 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 as many deeply consenting challenges, it lets us choose within a couple of bills from the language of community and respect and reject the language of division. none of us can change the past. bucks, we can commits with all thoughts to learning. it's less and to finding creative ways to write any qualities that didn't show. the british monarch spoke a lot, but 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 notorious slave trade. but prime minister, kira storm, or his government ruled out any reparations ahead of the commonwealth summit in similar archie corresponding lima issue har says,

or takes us through rather the ramifications of the former empires. legacy. the process break summit has overshadowed the commonwealth summit, and that's not surprising because, well, break sees all states and peoples as equals the u. k stands 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 trans atlantic 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 wrongs of the past. the ghost that haunts us today cannot be in my view dispelled by a monetary gift. there should be a come to jesus moment where we truly look at one another in the eye and say, look, this is what happened. the commer well, summit has highlighted that britain is long time a for and so in its former colonies is finally declining. the guest list certainly isn't as impressive as london 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, the, the only challenge smoothly that i can as much as i would like to have a referendum. yes, it is now time for us to end our historical ties with the monarchy 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 sports 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 australian 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 neil colonialism. we spoke with the nigerian historian, an educator who says that the question of reparations is one that cannot be ignored to make it is that's the, that's the, that's the thoughts we place. you know, the michel of the british political system on the bus. but some of our buses that are out in new song, in the british political system, this is a bit on whether it gets warm to find the product. there's nothing different. no, but i was worried about between the political, you know, boxes be because i bid, you know, be the political party. because most of the said, most of these political parties, all the same idea off to all the all to keep the body shop with your body shop was going to get started. but that's why it's doing that. going to be not on bad level

studies did. but it is a good one, is ignoring the body shop was done because the mission across the government as well. the mon d. u like a lot during that budget slavery, do you like the most duly going to the end of the country? it's not much at all for me to do that, but it's me, breach. i saw she met so much. well, as she's not willing to give a dime, she's not willing to let us go through some of these words. does she have to meet? and that's all for this hour. thanks a lot for watching r t international. and we hope you have a great day. the there is no end in sight over how you're going to continue to destroy the earth. is the case of the med, most of the people i tried to go to the gym, but i'm certainly not ready to fight russia. this is also

a pursuit. this is the 3rd world lunacy re washington as well. so the funder line likes to say, we have the tools while we just start with stability and business deals. what should i need? something living on that we have very close propaganda. you know, a price here in new york. i think we don't know the aftermath any time that you're not allowed to ask questions, you should ask all of the questions. some more questions ask the better. the answer is will be the this is for digital risk of traits to upgrade to didn't don't bass under the orders of ukrainians, special services the, the homes are staying with
