of the the, a possible investment deal sparks fierce protests and upon the where the president is promising to step down, if crowds degree to vacate government buildings, the opposition claims the agreement will only benefit a select few wealthy citizens. so what is being offered behind such a screen to attract investments is actually nothing more than a kind of new superstructure overall this, this setup is aimed at ensuring that individual, all the guards receive additional super benefits. 3 people are arrested in israel. i made a flash and bomb attack on the prime ministers residents. the idea for reports hezbollah launched 80 projectiles at the country with the lawn must it's set to

be donald trump. new advice or the tech billionaire is already locked in vitamins unless he's claims that keith is totally independent from the west. and you as president elect donald trump announces more members of future team, one of them together and a previous rising star of the democratic party, who accuses it of war mongering. that our democratic party, unfortunately, is not the party that is of by and for the people. it's, it is a party that has been and continues to be influenced by the foreign policy establishment in washington by the military, industrial complex and other greedy corporate interests. the live in the russian capital, i'm rachel ruble. this is archie international, a stand off between the sitting government in a positive and opposition leaders. the black sea coast republic is reeling from 2

days of unrest over a proposed investment deal with buy shopped. protestors have occupied the parliament and the official buildings and the president awesome but is anya has said he will only meet demands to resign and hold snap elections. if protesters leave. all right, let's cross live now to our correspondent, diggers, down off who is in a positive is capital to whom we eat are quite a story developing there. what's the situation now following yesterday's events? well, absolutely. rachel, basically the stand off of the style made between the opposition and the incumbent . government continues. we are just outside the parliament building that is still occupied by the opposition. they've been here all the way through the night. you can see barrels like this one here, and a few over the, in the back. they deliver them over the overnights and basically they brought them for over the building to be able to keep themselves room. now the opposition's

demands remain the same. they basically say that the, that the president and the anti government has to stand down and they as they have to resign and the president sofa has refused to meet, to meet these demands. he has suggested that they should 1st vacate this building, and then only then he would step down and announce snap and elections. so here's, here's how he puts it. on the side, there is a lot of pressure on members of parliament to making a legal decision about the resignation of the president. firstly, such a decision will not happen. and secondly, if it does happen, it will not be followed through. i don't want people to think that i am holding on to power, but rather that we need to find a constitutional way forward. if we don't comply with the constitution, our country will not survive. those who have taken control, those who attempted a cuckoo must vacate the buildings. after that i will be ready to call in election

and resign. the vice president will run the country and i will run in the election so you can see the atmosphere behind me. there's still about a few dozen people behind me, maybe twice, 3 times more inside the building itself. but basically you can tell by what is going on. it is all very, very civil. here. people are just mingling, they're discussing. here's the thing about what caused this whole story, basically being company, government, they've come up with an initiative that they call an investment initiative with russia basically an investment project. and by definition that project would allow for and as to purchase land here in a project. and the opposition says that says this would allow only galks to basically buy out the entire very small republic. and this is what the people say here. they don't want this, they fear that they will lose the say in how the country is governed. and this is

what caused about maybe 5000 people. these are the estimates given by the opposition itself to come out in the to come out. and most of this friday, but right now, given that the opposition that has, it seems they have reached at least in that, in the book. uh the some like preliminary goals of the protests right now. the showing is significantly smaller. but of course, the leaders of the opposition who have spoken to uh on saturday they say that they are ready to drive all these people back in the streets. also note how uh there's no presence of any law enforcement. there's no, there's no ride police here or anything of the sewage which here showcase is that. so 5 seems besides trying to reach a civil and roof solutions tools. uh, but uh, the interior minister himself has said that he has no plans to resign to business on default and southbridge. and normally under the command of the

president, no one is going anywhere. i see the statement that i'll position is making that osh designs. i have a commander in chief, was entitled to give me such an order and i will obey his orders until now the people because i chose the president and we serve in the night of the opposition. know the incumbent like president. the end of the government are talking to each other directly instead of the public chain, but has taken upon itself of a mediator year on saturday. they were here, they 22 opposition leaders. then they went to a small, small village, about 40 is away from the president. its cabinet right now says, where are they off to the events off to friday's events and they brought the opposition's proposals. basically with robin ultimatum will like it to the president and his ministers, and they have said that sofa,

the disagreement has not been reached. but they have said that the, the contacts and they will continue their work throughout the days. throughout this sunday, we will stand by to see how this conflict results. but basically again, it seems that both sides ready to, to took it over and took it out. and this is how they are set to do. basically, they're going to negotiate their way into peace, and this is something that russia is quote, to as well, given that rushes, well, the biggest ally that applies you has also also as another point that the opposition has made and they have been trying to deliver it very adamant least that they have been saying that this protest is anti russian, that they are set to continue. if the, if everything goes their way there, you are said to continue with the car and pause of events. and they said to continue to do business with russian to keep these close ties and build up on them . they even threw russian flags along with them on friday to showcase that this is

most again, to politically wise. it's not aimed against russia, but this has been in central disputes. again, we will stand by to see how it unfolds, and hopefully result peacefully soon. all right, r t correspondence guards down our reporting from a positive as capital e r. thank you. i was speaking exclusively to archie and i've has opposition. later is quick to point out, the protest are aimed at specific local officials, not against russia done as it lets us pro spell a suit on this situation was provoked by the illegal actions of the previous government. so we often hear in the russian media that those gathered here are against russian investments. this is completely fundamentally and true. i would like to inform you that we already have an agreement between the russian federation and the republic above the cause, the on the protection and promotion of mutual investments from 2009 more over. we have domestic legislation, the lawn investment activities from 2014,

which provides for benefits, tax holidays, guarantees and so on. it's a whole list of preferences. that is, it all exists. what is being offered behind such a screen to attract investments is actually nothing more than a kind of new superstructure overall this and as we are all convinced, this setup is aimed at ensuring that the individual, all the guards, as we call them here, receive additional super benefits in order to implement major investment projects here in collusion with our government, which is and at the same time the called state the out because people will receive practically nothing. that's what caused the whole protest. it should develop dynamically only forward the we have a very serious contractual basis, and that's not even what i'd like to say right now. we have a common past. and today we have very close cultural social and economic ties. and russia is our main ally. and we are only focusing on russia in this sense, so therefore we will develop the closest relations with russia. by the way,

some media outlets are trying to introduce a narrative that there are some anti russian forces enough because here i want to draw your attention to the fact that this narrative and such a formulation, a combination of words appeared in our practice in the information space just with the appointment of the incumbent president before his appointments. such conversations on this topic did not exist in our relationship at all. and this is such a kind of political manipulation as it seems to the authors that using this narrative, they are trying to fight their political opponents. and to europeans studies experts devonne diets confirms there is little indication, anti russian sentiments are driving the opposing in protests. well, i think it's gonna be a really look premature to say that these are anti russian protests because we have seen the protesters coming with the russian flags. what it seems to be the biggest concern is basically the fear of, of how the, uh, from

a look only only got to overtake, but maybe they are afraid of georgians. rich georgians with russian citizenship, wind lines, you know, cause yeah. so this is, we have to remember a call, this is and what we think there is very sensible. so when we see the warming of nations between the baltimore billings b, this of course mates. how's the how's that professionally solved to serve you as a bit bullshit? about the possible consequence. and the underlining i would say uh, the underlying issue here is of course the default movies are here and so for empowers of nathan to northern israel. now where the city of hyphen has come under fierce shelling with some missiles, making it past the country's infamous iron. don't the hezbollah has claimed responsibility for

the attack saying the garage targeted military sites, including a naval base. ida f has denounced the attack and accused the group of deliberately destroying a jewish synagogue and launched around a projectile. is that the country reports say a few people were mildly injured. however, there's been no official statements on casualties. and 3 people have been arrested after 2 flash bonds were fired at the as really prime minister's residence in the northern city of syria. the leader and his family were absent when both explosives landed in the garden and investigation has been launched with as rarely politicians condemning the attack and calling it a dangerous escalation that now to then yahoo, his home was previously attacked in october and has with hezbollah, claiming responsibility at the time, nearly 2000000 palestinians in gaza are bracing for

a 2nd winter of war and the subsequent catastrophic social conditions barely once. hence, they agreed upon trucks promised in a deal stroke ultimatum between israel and washington are reported. they crossing into gaza at carrying much need of food, shelter, equipments, and medical supplies from the as really side of one almost empty checkpoint. here's our t's maria from ocean. i went out at the care, i'm so long crossing between israel and southern gaza. the trip found itself is over there, but we were not allowed to feel in that direction. this is the key entry point for humanitarian aid into the war tour in palestinian and clay were experts now save the situation is at its worst level in the setting. months of conflict, but check point is open and functioning. we can see cars going in and out from time to time, but no trucks. last time we were here months ago this whole square was full of cargo vehicles carrying food. a walter or medical shelter supplies desperately

needed on the other side of the water waiting to cross. as you can see, it is almost empty. now there are only 3 vehicles here and it's not exactly clear what's inside them. we're here 2 days off to the american ultimatum for israel to boost age to the guys us 3 expired with israel reportedly failing to meet the criteria laid out by its allies last month. as you remember, washington asked israel to increase crisis assistance to the guys us 3, we think subsidized warning that's failure to comply could impact us weapons funding. i'm on all the demands, the us coal, for least 350 truckloads of goods to and to gather daily. currently, a levels remains fall below these benchmark. on the day the ultimatum expired. this, these really agency called gods which coordinates governments activities in

palestinian territories. and that is also in charge of coordinating a delivery to gauze or report that the just $117.00 trucks crossed through kara, which along this crossing and do all the crossings. again, while we're, we're here, we didn't see any truck crossing, they sold a call, but states that nearly 900 truckloads of age waiting for collection. that's a small maint unclear though, exactly where, but definitely notes here. we also hear that there is the aids stoled from the guys inside of the border from the other side of these 10 points. is there a way is international organization, school failing to collapse the age, but distribution groups working on the ground in the guys as 3 but use is real or not provide an adequate security or facilitating humanitarian relief. in the past month, we've seen families throughout garza, and particularly in the north subjected to increasingly horrific conditions. this

is a damning indictment of israel's failure to follow international humanitarian law and to respond to the critical and reasonable demands of its greatest ally the united states. the consequences will be more innocent, lives ended and destroyed while we're filming here, one of the trucks, the white one started moving, surprisingly not towards the gauze. those 3, but away from it. we have been able to speak to the driver all that we called before. and he told us he's waiting for security clearance from the id up to cross the border. and apparently he didn't receive any authorization and he now left. so what's america's pay off to the deadline? it's higher, they took the state department representative nearly such a minutes as a thing to answer a simple yes or no question on whether it's real match the american criteria ultimately failing to explain those 30 days or up. and as you heard from everyone

so far, and these 8 groups that came out last night, they haven't met them. and all of a sudden you say that the metrics that you put out don't matter. i've, we've never said, i never said that they don't matter. what i said was, these are metrics exactly like you put out. it's not a rabbit winds, meaning i don't want to take up time getting into a specific tit for tat on like track number the letter. earlier at a similar raising another representative joke about notes receiving grades mid semester. while discussing israel's efforts to increase desperately needed a for starving palestinians engaged them. they've failed to implement all of the things that, that we recommend and that now that said, we're not at the end of the 30 day period. and we are, we are in coverage already. it's not the end. it's not the end of the semester. you don't do that. you don't have that grade in the middle in the middle to love it is the little bit in a know,

given how washington is validate and israel's compliance. any serious consequences seem unlikely. murray from ocean isle t reporting from kim shuttle and crossing in southern is ro, explosions at power stations. and outages are reported all across to train. that says moscow down to ukrainian drones above the border city of belgrade overnights and then central russia. local authorities have reported a u, a b crashing into an industrial workshop and the city of is just one man was injured in the attack, but the facility itself suffered negligible damage. the announcement was made on the local governor's telegram channel after social media users shared videos of a flash caused by the impact emergency services were sent to the scene. now to the us, where the president elect is already sending shockwave is through washington.

donald trump's recent controversial cabinet nominations the tax 1000000000 are eli moscow leading the new department of government efficiency? the future presidential advisor is already poking fun up. blood and resilience case . recent claim that ukraine doesn't take orders from abroad. when there's a, let us know, currently we are independent ukraine, so i think that you were in the swell all people and i personally negotiations with the united states of america with trump and bite. and you are the leaders. you are approved at the reservation of sit down and listen, does not work with us. and this is not because we are like that because of this how we should treat any country any people tend to lead it with respect to just the she quality is one of the values of the west side and for today when we needed most discipline, jolt met a host of the conservative day. they podcast says kids actions prove there are strings attached to washington's funding. i think it's absolutely absurd. this is started as a proxy war anyway for the united states and $270000000000.00 later. if they were

independent and making their own decisions, then why in the world did they step away only been. busy washington stated that you need to step away from the table. you have more hawks and washington on the democrats side. and now the trump is coming in and he wants to posture. and frankly, i don't think he's in a position to posture for anything. and i believe what, what he loved much said is that he's got quite this sense of humor. referring to the facts, it is a wednesday, is a previous comic that turned into a politician around the country. so i don't think anybody takes the wednesday seriously. frankly, i don't believe that the united states will have any tolerance towards them, not coming to the table. and i look forward to seeing the united states take a different posture in this, in this nonsense, and try to get to the place where people can stop dying. the surprises and keep coming as donald trump rules out the short list for his new administration. one of the choices is to seek alberta, a former democrats who quit the party accusing it of war mongering. she is tapped

to serve as the director of national intelligence. sophie has been a rare voice speaking out against issues within the us government. there's a representative landsman from ohio who said, quote, why are we being asked to ban american officials from trying to stop propaganda from for an adversaries like putting wires some proposing we leave syria which prudent wants. why is the call to a band and ukraine continuing to emerge from some members? he goes on to say, remember, and i'm quoting him. remember, hitler did this. he used americans to spread his propaganda and it cost millions their lives put in is doing the same thing. so to be clear, this congressman from ohio feels that americans who dare to say, hey, we need to stop writing blank checks to fund this proxy. war against russia via

ukraine must be silenced. he feels that anyone who says, hey, we need to bring our troops home from syria, our russian propagandist, and must be silenced. this is dangerous because this is coming from people who are in great positions of power to actually act on this nonsense. a dialogue that has over and over i said that she believes russia had legitimate concerns when it came to ukraine. and despite that, she was sense in the price she was told to shut up by her policy and others. and that's something that's become really important to her. and she's a former democrat. she's not just eddie with atlas that she was actually voice chest of the democratic national policies that was held in school. she was within the democratic policy. she even runs to be president in 2020 over seemed losing out

eventually like at the end to jo flight and, but she has long had problems within the policy problems that she has. oh you're in for those repeated, she said that they needed to get rid of the war within the democratic policy that says pre collision back in 2020. when she was going to be that presidential candidate, what you have to say about the problems within horizon hall tree, you have criticized hillary clinton as the quote personification of the rights who stick in the democratic party. what is the right you see in the democratic party that our democratic party unfortunately, is not the party that is of by and for the people? is it a part of it is a party that has been and continues to be influenced by the foreign policy establishment in washington represented by hillary clinton and others foreign policy by the military industrial complex and other greedy corporate interests. sen,

harris. any response? oh, sure. um i, i think that um, it's unfortunate that we have someone on the stage who is attempting to be the democratic nominee for president of united states who during the obama administration, spent 4 years full time on fox news criticizing. president obama. this is the 1st time she'd criticize the policy actually when a ball no was in the office. she was too late, critical of his policy when it came to syria, actually criticizing his administration for the money. it was given to the so called syrian rebels, rebels who later ended up selling will becoming terrorist group, such as, i'll call you to an ice system. she said at the time that it was the, the decisions by that administration. that's cool. so much have a in the world over the past 2 decades. that's just take a listen to what she said in regards to that specific issue. why is it such

a difficult position to take and say that we said stop arming, streaming service. it's really not a difficult position, nor should it be. i think every american would be a surprise to know that for years our government has been providing both direct and indirect support. to these are militant groups who are working directly with or, or even under the command of terrorist groups, like all tied to an ice is all in their or their effort and fight to over throw the syrian government. well, he glide views may have spoken the fact that that was an odd scene in like the she gave an interview to us. those who exclusive comments to aussie at the time. but i think it gives you a sense of who this individual is. she some of the who is happy to speak her mind as a result that she has been forced to size massively within your own policy. and here she is a full mate. democrats is now going to be the national director of us intelligence

ahead of what 18 agencies with some $17000000000.00 at her disposal. this is a massive appointment, and she will be back shaping the donald trump foreign policy playbook. no, just become minded. she knows a thing or 2, i mean, she has a slammed so many things that the by didn't administration has been doing over the last is want to start off with the fire lapse biologics. awesome thing. russia is accused ukraine of having for a very long time and saying that the us funded them that was denied over and over. then back in 2022. victoria knew then to, at the time was the under secretary of state kind of notes that the us was involved in some biologics in ukraine, dialog poundstone. this was like say you go with what she was telling the truth. yes. there were these biologics in ukraine by lives that the us is funding. she was a time. everybody was like, you are lying your russian stage. that systems have comments on the bio lapse. here

are the undeniable facts. there are 25 to 30 us funded bio labs in ukraine instead of trying to cover this up. the biden. harrison ministration needs to work with russia, ukraine, nato, the u. n. to immediately implemented cease fire for all military action. the vicinity of these labs until they are secured, and these pathogens are destroyed. so completely verified in the price, but then just a few months later, the pen to go on had to come clean and say, yes actually, it was the $20.00 old that she mentioned. it was actually $46.00 point labs, so the us was the funny thing. so i mean, she was under playing it, but according to the democrats, she's a russian stage deposit the fact that over and over she's been proved correct. and i just want to add 25 brief points here. she has window for no, for the by didn't administration is pooled the will of close to, to a nuclear wall than ever before. we now have reports in the last 24 hours that show that ukraine is considering building a new clip on, despite the fact that it's

a signet change, but needs to be a nonproliferation treaty. and as a result of her not being pointed, she has been put on the ukrainian that's less dom or tolbert smith in the last few hours. i think that gives you a sense of what she is thinking and essentially proofing its puns at the idea of somebody who's coming in, who's willing to listening to a russian point of view. other trump, nominators include matt gates for the post of us attorney general. trump has turned into media figures as well. choosing veteran and fox news anchor pete hex us for his secretary of defense, who has a lot to say when it comes to the complex between russia and ukraine. the friends would probably agree with this on. most things are like, well, if you don't stop them and you pray and then you kind of go over the whole lot of, you know, i don't, i don't think she's, i mean, maybe in a perfect world where he had unlimited capabilities and he couldn't from himself king of europe, he would,

i think he probably knows enough to know that is probably not going much further. new. great. in the case of ukraine, who wants more, what he's talking about, if he wants to ward and now as a business man, he's not going to tell you about his negotiating tactic to bring it to a close. but i don't understand why we would not want to war like that to and he, we do not stalled them now. we must do it. the i was so furious but not surprised when i saw the bloomberg news report. that's a bite and administration is now considering draining $200000000.00 out of the army reserves to send more money to crane. i. i can't even believe this is a controversial view to take on this floor. but i believe that the us army reserves should actually be for the us army, are to contributor and former,

sent an aide to joe by the entire read express, the cautious hope for some figures expected to take up a lead roles in washington's incoming administration in telson, job or do you know i've met her at rage against the war machine when we spoke out against the ukraine conflict? this isn't washington dc. a couple of years ago. chelsea was there. i had an opportunity to speak to her and she is very committed to ending on for and more she's been in the us military. she's talked about the ways and the mismanagement and, and the need for the she talked about the horrible things that happened with that scott, us down in iraq. and she's a good person and she's going to be in a good position. she's also advising, you have mac a, it's she was going to be attorney general who's going to be, um, he's gonna be going after the d o j an f b i, there's gonna be some n c i a. so there's gonna be some big turnover there. you have you on most you on muskets going to be cleaning house and what they're.
