the also, i noticed was that some of these are probably not the the breaking news this our own ras rocks via because in capital over on investment tracy with russia, it's now set to be would roll by the president's office. also i had the 7 on capital c, that 2nd flurry of us really strikes within a 24 hour period most as a dozen rescue workers are reported killed following an overnight attack on a civil defense center and the country's south african police bottle against the legal mining claiming it to stabilize the economy and fuels prime against the citizens coming of hundreds of prop workers refuse the surface. during the last,

the shocking video is a force construction continued to surface across your brain. the country's defense ministry admits it's not mobilizing people suffering from h b personally the for almost going to the world. this is our teacher, national hello and welcome to the news or scuffling supp broken out in front of parliament in the county and capital. protestors broke through a fence into the building in so cool, it follows that decision by officials to rock to fi investment agreement with russia. but it's not expected that the will be withdrawn with the president's office, confronting the move. a local journalist sentence this brief report from the scene of the interest so far as the protesters has managed to break down the fence and enter the government complex. negotiations are now under way between some of the

protesters and local authorities. the protesters are demand things that an agreement on investment activities of russian legal entities on the territory of a pause. here, the completely removed from the agenda or the deputies vote against it, making it impossible to return to the issue ever again. all thirties and the protesting opposition are still in talks. well that's good morning, this now i for lar, t correspondent, marina at costs revenue re a big crowds there. and clearly a lot of hungry enough tells you take us through why to. absolutely, well, it seems days of protest have now resulted in what appears to be the postponement of this economic agreement between russia and the positive. so it looks like the opposition there got bought at once. and now they argued all along that this economic agreement between the 2 countries was not fair because it basically gave more support and more benefits to russian investors rather than local businesses. and they said that it violated the interest of a local businesses. this is why we,

so all these protests which started actually on the 11th of november, following that, the tension of 5 opposition activists there. and now it's very clear to important to mentioned that the opposition has been very clear. and that issued a statement saying that this is not aimed against russia, something that we saw, for example, in neighbor in georgia, a positive force part has always been quite loyal to moscow because of course, russia was the 1st country to support its independence from georgia. so we're not expecting that to see the opposition sentiments in the way as what we saw in georgia there, which we saw. i'd be embarrassed to phobic at some point, but here they're saying the opposition claims that this is shortly a business matter. now this business matter is something that the presence of a posit it has been pushing for the last 2 years as he seeks to expand investment in the region. and also this bill has been done the sort of apartments bill because it full lips the band on foreigners been able to own property. they're included and

of course russians, but locals fear that this will lead to soaring prices. and that it will also change the demographic that will be a demographic and balance. now again, like i said, the opposition wanted to make sure that this is not against russia. having said that, now the president has spoken out about this and he has said that he has reason to believe that the opposition in a positive has been supported and curious to rated by external forces. and he says that the disruptive nature of security services in other countries is being shown here as well. so for the opposition appears to have bottom what it wants it for. now, at least so we'll see how it develops will be monitoring the situation. of course, great, thanks very much, ridiculous through the ortiz marina costs or the on developments in up. all right, so another headline stories this hour. we go to 11 on where israel has continued its attacks on the nation's capital this friday. the

law well, the strikes here, densely populated residential areas and the size of a roots shown in this for they'd send to ard, see the idea for politically you should have like your ration order prior to the attacks. there's been no official statements on casualty numbers as of yet there. we do know that earlier 12 people were reportedly killed and overnight idea of strikes and the age, the city of all back. the victims aren't really to rescue workers who are searching for trump. colleagues under the rubble of a destroyed civil defense center. the lebanese health ministry called it about bar, i could talk on the state room health facility that came hours after neighboring syria reported strikes in and around its capital,

damascus permanent sovereignty knob is the right to firm for the palestinian people and a resolution adopted by the un general assembly only 5 countries, including the u. s. and israel voted against it. less growth. now, to ortiz, at middle east bureau chief, maria, florida, and we have the un has previously post dozens of resolutions. we know that on the israel palestinian question and the conflict in particular, what's significant about this hello to you and i'm indeed, earlier on thursday, the un general assembly passed a resolution of firm and palestinians, right to self determination, independence and freedom from israeli occupation. no conditions attached, citing an international court of justice earlier opinion and that declared the occupation illegal and cold for the media and the resolution august. this is

essential for palestinians to achieve state who the resolution passed. overwhelmingly with 170 countries. voting in favor, including canada, australia, o, e u, member states, and most south africa and south american, asian, and african nations. only 6 states oppose that israel and the united states are clearly among them, but it is not clear what impact this resolution will have. what consequences israel might face if it doesn't comply and we know that if official tel aviv basically ignored all previous resolutions criticizing his really actions, the vote comes as you when special committee created over 50 years ago. specifically to monitor these really occupation released a report cooling is really policies in gaza, consistent with genocide characteristics, the committee raised serious concerns accusing israel of using starvation as

a weapon of war and running and apartheid system in the west bank and these drawers for them. and as expected, washington quickly stepped in to defend is key ally in the middle is dismissing the report that's taken listen as it relates to the un commission, i've seen some of that reporting. and then, you know, we've seen some language coming out of that indicative of their belief that some of the actions could be constituted as this, as they are phrasing genocide. that is something we would uh, unequivocally disagree with. again, we think that that kind of raising and those kinds of activities, accusations are certainly unfounded as well. again, these so called unfounded accusations come from an international committee, specifically tasked with monitoring these radio occupation. but the u. s. response is consistent with a strong pro. israel stands last month. as you remember,

washington gave me as well, especially day deadline to increase humanitarian age into the gas. a street or risk being found in violation of u. s. law which prohibits the transfer of offensive weapons to countries blocking civilian a yard since the deadline expired on tuesday, there has been no serious us criticism of israel, despite warnings from 8 organizations that conditions in gaza. and now the wars since the war started 15 months ago, journalists continue to press the officials on this issue. here is the latest exchange from a us state department briefing. the concern to, to be notified, cancelled or fulfilled the cause of the better we noticed the status letter today. site none of the above. i hope you're paying attention to the very, the back and forth. we had on this the letter had a time. and i mean, it had very specific things that part of it, is that not a 5?

is that or is that can? so does that show? what is it that 30 day period is it extend this site? the letter was designed to inject a strong sense of urgency and produced action part you had expired on the 12th of this month. is that over? what part are you talking about? so it was, it had a definite time limit that size and there was even though, oh, so that's, i mean, i think i understand it laid out even though it laid out you, i think you're focusing a little too intensely on the letter it laid out since we should do that with the government. let me, let me, let me finish to. so what exactly is america defending back in april, a new 150 page human rights watch report accuses is ro, all forced mass displacement in the gaza strip and significant destruction of civilian infrastructure, describing it as a systematic and deliberate can pay that's amounts to war crimes and crimes against

humanity, the accusations, but these really armies strongly denied and a char double your research are stated. these really governments can not claim to be keeping published and is safe when it kills them along escape routes, bombs. so coal save areas and cuts of food, water and sanitation, also, doctors without borders recently warns that's $14000.00 people in the gas has 3 bleed. urgent medical evacuation and treatment, but outside gals of the situation remains. just as concerning recently, israel past several controversial laws targeting palestinians in the west bank and also is really arabs who make up about 20 percent of israel's population of 10000000. these laws allow the prosecution of teachers who speak out against the war, the duplication of families of individuals that israel accuses off involving involvement in terrorism and even the jailing of palestine and children. under the age of 14,

the us special rep or term expressed outrage over this. let's take colors. the absurdity of thinking how much international diplomacy has normalized the situation by continuing to invoke the resumption of negotiations between the parties to achieve a durable solution he's exposed. as well, many experts argue that it's america isn't just defending, is ro, it's too deeply involved and is basically actively complicit. so it's no surprise the us continues on will continue spending by israel, ultimately defined in its own interest, its own role and its own influence in the region back to you in a case where you have an option to live from jerusalem like the south african police are continuing with their operation to come bought. a legal mining that's of hundreds of miners remain trumped underground authorities bucks,

food and water supplies in one province in the attempt to force the might accusing the people of endangering locals with their activities under present a visa might miss that kind of, i think our, our community that i think how that pretends that quick to forget on what led to the basement of not go to a position you would have called. but if you, i just, i think it's it yet. but when we had to do that, the incident of a do, we mean that we can click on store and both women where 3 i usually go my next turn to be that hasn't been paid through in this case because all these really got minus the majority of them in the country and they come in, but it becomes difficult for us to praise them. and we also forget that we used to wake up to date bodies that will be picked up in the movie. and although they bodies or any good mind, those good will fight to of a tough in the very same area will be operating. and we are implementing our strategic to blow food. and we'll get to go down there as

a form of forcing these in the minus to do so. so safely. we picked up a year ago, 20 dead bodies of the go by and that's, that's look at each other and to each other. what we do know is that's ation means henry in crisis continues to unfold. in south africa's northwest providence has hundreds of illegal mine is a trapped on the ground and a band and mine soft. but there's something that a lot of people, not a way off when it comes to this particular case because these mine is refused to resurface. fearing imminent risk, they have results resorted to hiding in the dangerous gifts of the mind when they are rapidly depleting the supplies of food and water. and this all stems from the fact that the authorities launch a crack down on the legal mind me activities cutting off essential supplies to force the minus to the surface the but due to safety concerns and the potential

city itself on the resistance. the mine is have the capacity to come up. this is the job if it's what they do on the daily if they used to doing this. but this time the police on to advise a risk at all points of exit an entry. and what people also do not understand is that illegal mining in south africa is a coordinated, a very dangerous and very professional enterprises. these activities feed into the black marker trade in precious metals and dime was run by while we saw so syndicated. and that's why the police or even the so that we can defense forces not being seen to down the mind. in fact, put these tells us that there's an entire gang in these months off. so sending the police officers even the defense force would be in humane. it's rights in that context that the minister in the presidents to compose a job and he has adopted is very clear and controversial sorts of refusing to provide assistance to the truck. mine is, this is insisting that the government will not

a criminal and that the mind is will eventually be forced to surrender, to enter, sending help to remove criminals. i'm not to be claiming those to be prosecuted. however, just move them out. they will come out. however, a critics argue that to this approach could lead to a tragic loss of life. the 3rd, the government super. all right, so as the safety of the truck, mine is and to consider more compassion that solutions such as the offering i missed you or providing humanitarian aid. and then as much as it said to me, i'm not able to use the surface of the own at this particular point. you need to remember that to the police say these people have a choice to come out and be a wasted will face the was, which is this design. mazama is our tool miners are trapped underground because they fear arrest. but after days without access to basic necessities like water, food and medication, many are no longer able to reach the surface on their own. this humanitarian crisis

demands immediate attention. you have the police and prisoners civil rights union in the north. we assess sort of vehicle is the same sentiments as the minister in the presidency because they say that they uphold. i should main working conditions of africa's police members. the alarming increase in illegal mining operations has led to violent crime, environmental degradation, and economic instability, leaving communities vulnerable and law enforcement resources stretch, then a legal mining activities are often linked with criminal syndicates that endanger the lives of residents, damage critical infrastructure and impede local economic growth of cost is been a huge debate raising across the country, often administer statements, who have some political thoughts for him to see in behind. being off the issue of trapped illegal. mine is the democratic alliances and the economy. freedom fighters

have been one of those saying the current approach, lex humanity, and is causing on to suffer. but you would also remember that since the lowest, i would rather the launch off operation for leaving. not even a place of losing the operation. 142015 authorities have arrested over 10000 illegal. mine is and have seized a significant amount of fi on this end and valuable window. so it's a very complex situation. indeed, the special tribal rights are on the chopping block in use england, a new build could potentially cancelled a near to century old agreement that serves as a foundation for indigenous quarters and protections. the country's parliament was forced to suspend the 1st reading of the legislation after maria and peace performed a haka to protest the device of plans. the

news is suspended until the ringing and the bills want protesters and traditional costs here and was performed. tribal chose to us, they marched through the streets of oakland to show their support for the white tongue. the treaty, the 1840 agreement with the british crime is the country's corners. so in defending my re rights, originally guaranteeing lund ownership and the continued practice of traditional customs. so the country libertarian, a c t party is seeking to replace the training with a new offering, no legal distinctions for indigenous groups saying that it leads to inequality in society. for others, but those who oppose the bill say it will simply undermine mark kind of things that are happening in a government level and not

a k. and we want to show them that we are united and we're strong regardless of these laws that are trying to be foster. and so we're strong regardless. we're going to show them how unity and we're not here to hate. what i would like to see happen, it's full body culture to be embrace across by will new debt on those. you know, so that actually we can be a multi nation living and partnership with our treatments. treaty partner. yeah. and then we can actually all enjoy those values and that cannot lift every body government, which is sadly putting some secret data on settling well former and use even for in the 1st official market robes. and spoke to the program earlier. ease of the view that despite the existing law and protecting my re people, their culture house being steadly or routing. so i think that the tracy was 1st of

all sign between the british and different tribes, a guarantee the rights of the original people in this 1841 to give up and imperialist countries involved they just saw or is that right? so it was quite unusual to have a treaty, but it was like no boulevard suite. no, a 100 is the land was taken, the language has taken the culture was taken. that body doesn't die out as happens with like the native americans in the united states design. no, very few native americans list. but in new zealand, multi doesn't die office to live and gradually built a political move it to have the rights very thoughts, vision. it hasn't been easy, it's still cause a lot of planes that i think the, the majority of the country in the end, big majority of people revise testimony, do have particular lights under the treaty and they should be test that just trying to say no. so treaty shouldn't have

a special place in the law. everybody should have the same rights. sounds good. but if you all the people who've had your rights taken away from you by the majority of it's not fair, it's not good and definitely to piece. so those body and piece of expressing the anger risk. but tequila bill, the point that i'm making is that that anger, all the opposition to the bill is felt by the whole country, the former deputy foreign minister on new zealand. no, i know the story to bring you today as ukraine suffers from a critical shortage of mon power in the bustle field. the country's defense ministry has for the 1st time confirmed earlier reports that it's not conscripting people's suffering from h. i v unto burka. los a lot of times for people with h, i, b, or to berkeley, los it's their availability for services evaluated based on how much the disease affects the patient's ability to perform military tasks. the fitness for the military service, for people with h, i b,

depends on the stage of the disease. well, that's across live to our senior correspondent, iraq. that was the a for more on this rather an extraordinary development appearing like a desperate move by t of a mid the mon power shortage. what is the current state of mobilization in the country? well, 1st of all, this should come as no surprise. previously, we had seen ukrainian military recruiters, fortunately mobilizing people with down syndrome, for example, people with partial blood and as missing eyes, missing hands or even feet. so the, the criteria to be drafted mobilized is being created imagery over the last year or so, who dropped significantly, which perhaps shows how desperate of the situation it is for the credit in minutes when it comes to bob. paul,

we must also bear in mind that you credit and ministry officials have come out and said the on the average, every single boy gave every single fly to you. this is stop my only to 50 percent capacity. so that's a huge show full of, of laptop and the do, there is now serious to can you create a beginning to draw women to fill up roles and the re a perhaps to free up even more mad news that a live across the technicians. i g, a crap idea across the fed specialist and send them as a sold troops into the trenches. so suddenly a very dangerous situation that for you kind of course we're seeing the consequences of that and not is of a well, didn't ever move savage tax. it's a good a by you crate in recruiters miniature 2, just from among the latest of a recruited coal. caught on camera shooting. i just civilian who was running away

from him and his back then he was shooting a pistol in his direction you credit has come out and said that the incident now is under review. but given past experience, little will likely come of it is also a video of i mean if you're a crew, is it being taken for drive by by a civilian of on the bottles of this car, the civilian wasn't very happy about be i thought maybe if you just tried to force about the scar and mobilize them, said the subject to the trenches, and that is blue. do you credit ministry today is made up of and they to freely admit for 2 years we live with civic. this wave of forest mobilization brought almost no city residents into service literally just one way or other than me. of course, these are residents of small towns and villages. almost 90 percent of the for almost all of them were called up for service through for starter squad,

little sourcing things. it is much easier to targets. small settlements, villages, uh the, the, the work and clubs for, for mobilization, ukraine they have most new political cloud. so that's k has also ruled cancel elections, a bad in a position to himself and his party too. so there is very little avenue for, for you to protest to political a challenge, to the landscape. absolute gemini. nevertheless, the situation is, but eventually perhaps they will have to start drafting the leap. those are the cities, those with connections, which they up to. now, how avoid the doing this is, this is positive. the corruption debit corruption you created. if you house money, if you have connections you all, you all say regardless of what the government calls with the government thought, you have someone to pull somebody who get you out of the army, get you

a cushy job somewhere in the rear. we will get you out of the country in time of the situation now is that you credit has to put on a brave face in the matter of speaking and come out and say, you know, that everything's going swimmingly, which is indeed bought the defense minister has done as a paddle, which was 25 and 6 by mazda cards, and by sizes bugs that are going to can you comment on the mobilization policy? i mean, what is the plan? because again, business needs some kind of guidelines for you understand this, you'll so having, being in business, the full amount of to play for the next year. you know, to keep up the defense in order to achieve all the objectives that was set out in the military strategy. we must continue to mobilize the summit together with my colleagues from the cabinets of ministers who worked on what we've heard,

that the economy needs to be protected from the cabinets of ministers adopted several resolutions. and these actions were effective for true and a re, for all parts result and number of people we must continue mobilization. taking us through that was our t senior correspondent rob guys the of explaining it as little surprising, but not entirely shocking. ok, that is where we leave, then you signed up for? no i but let me leave you with this. washington and law school have radically different ideas about peace and security. so is donald trump's pledge to end the print conflict in 24 hours pie in the sky thinking or necessary radical solution? first told debates on that's next. the

the, [000:00:00;00] the hello and welcome to cross stock were all things are considered on peter lavelle. kennedy trump said he would end the ukraine conflict in 24 hours. well, he's now president elect time to keep that promise. the problem is washington in moscow, have radically different ideas about peace and security. the cross section ukraine, i'm joined by my guess, caring,

feel called steve in mount jackson. she is a retired us air force. lieutenant colonel, having served at both n s a and the office of the secretary of defense in london. we have in proud he is a senior british diplomat, an officer of misfits in moscow. how british diplomacy and russian failed and killed him. we crossed the passcode no tests. he is an associate professor at the auto university right cross lock roll is in effect, that means you can jump any time you want. and i would appreciate before we talked about a, a suppose. suppose a trump piece plan. i'd like to get your reaction from all 3 of you about the regions spots of appointments, but trump is going to bring into his administration. karen, i mean i know that you know, it, could you some people like coke, some people like pepsi, but it's still colla and then that's my feeling here. karen? yeah. really is, i mean he's got a mix of neil kinds that we recognize extremely pro israel appointments and then

combine was that he has some of the uh uh, people like tulsa gabbert who have been,
