the, the, a possible investment deal sparks fierce and protest in a positive where the president is promising to step down. if crowds agree to vacate government building the opposition claims the agreement will only benefit a select few 12 citizens 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. the idea of strikes flattened the building in southern bay route, as israel issues a civilian evacuation order was the long last it is set to be donald

trump's. new advisor, the tech billionaire is already mocking vitamins zalinski is claims that cube is totally independent from the west. and us president elect, donald trump announces more members under future team. one of them is to seek alberta previous, the rising star of the democratic party, who accuses them of war mongering. that our democratic party, unfortunately, is not the party that is of by and for the people. it's it, a part of it is a party that has been continues to be influenced by the foreign policy establishment in washington for the military industrial complex and other greedy corporate interest, the summer headquarters in moscow. i'm rachel ruble. you're watching r t international a stand off between the student government and of has the a and opposition lead. there is as the black sea coast republic is reeling from 2

days of unrest over the proposed investment deal with russia. protestors have occupied the parliament and official buildings and the president asked bon bons, anya has said he will only meet demands to resign and hold snap elections. if the protesters leave our correspondence, he goes down our reports from the capital city. soon. the things 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 barrows like this one here on the a few over the in the back. they deliver them over the overnights to keep themselves room. now the positions demands to remain the same. they basically say that the president and the entire government has 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. there was 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 . what caused this old story? basically the incumbent 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 oligarchs 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 the 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 probably makes but right now given that the opposition that has, it seems they have reached at least in that uh, in the book uh the some like preliminary goals of the protests right now. the showing is significantly smaller, of course, uh, 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 and solution tools. uh, but uh,

the interior minister himself has said that he has no plans to resign to business on development. several present normally under the command of the president. no one is going anywhere. i see the statement that i'll position is making that i should resign. i have a commander in chief who is 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. and now one message that the opposition has also try to get across repeatedly and very well as a monthly fee, monthly is the fact that they do not see this process as an anti russian move. uh, in fact, the leaders have told me that if things go their way, basically they will continue with the friendly relations with russia. they will continue to build up all these relations, give them that russia is our tool. the biggest ally that applies year has right now, in fact, the protest as they given brewer russian flags on friday along side with the flags

of the republic with them he had to showcase that this is indeed an internal dispute. and right now this the few disputes, it seems they are ready to sole piece of money, which is something that most cool has cool to on both sides as well. now, as for how negotiations fab, the opposition on the president on talking to each other directly. instead the public chamber of, of upsize it has taken upon itself the role of the media. it's on saturday the way he and this building harry now will feel position has to say that they travel to a small, small village about 40 kilometers away from here, where the president and his cabinet off right now they delivered this message on robin ultimatum. heard what the president and the cabinet i have to say and sofa. well, it is a stay on may to the the decides on meeting, meeting each other off way. but again, the representatives of the public chamber, i have said that they will continue their work. they will continue mediating this complex and they will do all in their power to resolve and peacefully speaking

exclusively to archie and i paused opposition. leader is quick to point out the protests are aimed at specific local officials, not against russia. i've done that since. lots us, but it was, but i'll assume that this situation was provoked by the illegal actions of the previous government. 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 will go with you in order to implement major investment projects here in collusion with our government, which is and at the same time the cost state the out because people will receive practically nothing that that's what caused a hold 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 the 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 european studies experts of on diets confirms there is little indication, anti russian sentiments are driving the policy and protests as well. i think it's gonna be a really, um, 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 house, uh, from, uh, the only only gar overtake, but maybe they are afraid of. uh, georgians, rich drawers is with russian citizenship buying lines enterprise. yeah. so this is what happened. remember, a focuses and holy things,

there is very sensible. so when we see the warming of nations between the most, what the deal is be this of course, mates how's the ones that professionally solve to serve you as a big bullshit about the possible consequence. and the underlining, i would say, uh, the underlying issue here is of course, the default the movies are here and so for empowers of nato. a building believe to be on a residential block in southern bay root has been flattened during an idea of attack. the the striking ahead. the area sunday morning on clouds of smoke rose about the city . apollo evacuation warnings issued for 3 sides by the israeli army. just one day after a series of raids. their latest strife follows the garage of hezbollah rockets that

were launched toward israel on saturday. the port city of hyphen has come under fierce shelling with some missiles piercing the munched. much vaunted iron down defends shields. the has, the law has claimed responsibility for the attack saying the garage targeted miller's sorry sides, including the naval base. the idea of has denounced the attack and accused the group of deliberately destroying a jewish synagogue and launched around to 80 projectiles at the country. reports that few people were mildly injured, however, there's been no official statements on casualties. meanwhile, 3 people had been arrested after 2 flash bombs were fired at the as really prime ministers residence in the northern city of syria. the leader and his family weren't home at the time 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 y'all, whose home was previously attacked in october with, has blah timing responsibility at the time. meanwhile, and gaza to 1000000 displaced palestinians are bracing for a 2nd winter of war. reportedly barely 110th of the agreed upon a trucks are making it into the enclave. the much needed food shelter and medical supplies had to be provided by as well in order to continue receiving us arms from the is really side of one, almost empty check point. here's ortiz maria from ocean 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. the check point is open and functioning. we can see cars going

in and out from time to time, but not 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 guy is a straight, we think subsidized warning that's failure to comply could impact us was funding. i'm on all the demands, the us coal, for least $350.00 truckloads of goods to and to gather daily current be

a levels remains fall below these benchmark on the day, the ultimatum expires if 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 at 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 at this moment and clear the exactly where, but definitely notes here. we also hear that there is a stole from the jobs inside off the border from the other side of these test point . is there a way ins, international organizations for failing to collapse the age, but distribution groups working on the ground in the gases 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 is higher. they took the state department representative nearly such a minutes as embrace 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 tracking 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 aid for starving palestinians engaged them. they've failed to implement all of the things that that we recommend. and 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, the middle to love it is the little bit in a no, i've given how washington is validate and israel's compliance. any serious consequences seem unlikely. morris at ocean isle t reporting from ken i'm shuttle i'm crossing in. southern is ro, explosions at power stations, and outages are reported all across the train that says moscow down to ukrainian drones about the border city of belgrade, overnights and in central russia. local authorities have reported a u. a b crashing into an industrial workshop in the city of is just one man was injured in the attack, but the facility itself suffered negligible damage announcement was made on the local governors telegram channel after social media user shared videos of

a flash caused by the impact emergency services were sent to the same the, the, the to the us where the president elect is already sending shock waves through washington trumps recent controversial cabinet nomination. c tech, a billionaire, eli moscow, leading the new department of government efficiency. the future presidential advisor is already poking fine up. latimer zalinski is recent claim that ukraine doesn't take orders from abroad when there's a, there's no great, right? we are independent ukraine. so i think that you're in the swell all people. and i personally negotiations with the united states of america, with trump, and bite, and you are the latest to me. you were to prove that the rhetoric of sit down and listen does not work with us. and this is not because we, i like that because of this how we should treat any country and people tend to leader with respect to this to see. quality is one of the values as westside. and for today,

when we needed most of your walkman host at the conservative daily podcast, says kids actions prove there are strings attached to to washington's funding. i think it's absolutely absurd. this has started as a proxy war anyway for the united states and $270000000000.00 later. if they were independent making their own decisions then why in the world did they step away only because. 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 you are 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 zalinski seriously . a 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 uh, 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 keep coming as donald trump rolls out, the short list for his new administration. one of the choices is posting, gathered a former democrat who quit the party accusing it's of war mongering. she is tapped to serve as the director of national intelligence. let's also has been a rare voice speaking out against issues with in the us government. there's a representative landsman from ohio who said, quote, why are we being asked to band american officials from trying to stop propaganda from for an adversaries like putting wire, some for posing, 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. putting 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 the 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 gap out that has over and over, i said that she believes russia had legitimate concerns when it came to ukraine. and despite that, she was sent to 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 any form. but that was that she was actually voice chest of the democratic natural policies that was housed in school. she was within the democratic policy. she even runs to be president in 2020 over seemed losing out eventually, right at the end to jo flight and, but she has long had problems within her own policy problems that she has for those repeated, she said that they needed to get rid of the world within the democratic policy, but just paperless and back in 2020. when she was going to be that presidential candidate, what you have to say about the problems within her own policy. you have criticized hillary clinton as the quote personification of the rot. his 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. it's, 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 the 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 criticized her and policy actually when a ball no was no for 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 or becoming terrorist group, such as,

i'll call you to an ice. and she said that the time that it was the, the decisions by the administration. that's cool, so much how book 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 to say that we should stop arming 9 streams stream services and 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 chi diagnosis, all in their or their effort and sites over throw the syrian government. well, e glide views may have spoken the fact that that was an odd scene and 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 somebody who is happy to speak her mind as a result of thought. she has been criticized massively within their own policy. and here she is, a former democrats 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, to speak her mind as she knows a thing or 2. i mean, she has slammed so many things that the bite and administration has been doing over the last few years. wanna start off with the bio labs biologics. awesome thing. russia is accused ukraine of having for very a long time and saying that the us funded them that was denied over and over then back in 2020 to victoria, new and to at the time was the and the secretary of state kind of a notes that the us was involved in some biologics and ukraine got bought pump

stone. this was like say you go with what she was telling the truth. yes, there were these by lives 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 harris administration needs to work with russia, ukraine, nato, the u. n. to immediately implement a cease fire for all military action in 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 pentagon had to come clean and say, yes actually, it wasn't the 20 or, but 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, despite the over and over she's being proved, correct. and i just want to add 25 brief points here. she has window for know for

the bite and administration is both a will of closer 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 home, despite the fact that it's a signet change, the new to a non proliferation 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. the other trump nominators include matt gates for the post of us attorney john wrong. trump has turned to media figures as well. choosing veteran and fox news anchor pete headset for his secretary of defense, who has a lot to say when it comes to the conflict between russia and ukraine. the

friends who probably agree with this, i most things are like, well, if you don't stop them and you pray and then you 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's probably knows enough to know that is probably not going much for the new. great and the case of ukraine who are for 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 you, we do not still them know, we must do it the i was so furious, but not surprised when i saw the bloomberg news report that the biden administration is now considering draining $200000000.00 out of army

reserves to send more money to ukraine. i, i can't even believe this is a controversial view to take on this for, but i believe that the us army reserves should actually be for the us army or take contributor and former center a. the to joe biden, to our read expressed cautious hope for some figures expected to take up lead roles and washington's incoming administration. a chelsea gap or do you know, i've met her 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 and 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 going to be doing is going after the bureaucrats, the bureaucrat crap, are usually have been the ones behind a lot of the talk is war mongering because they benefit from it financially that's all about the change. if, if this happens, the election needs to be certified. january 2020th is winning, and all gratian is we need to get to january 20th, and we need to get these people confirmed. now i think they have the votes to confirm. many of these mat gates is more controversial, even with the magazine, but i think you have enough support for him to get through the paving the way for a reset of relations that topic and others are on the table at a symposium in southern russia, which were the 1st time in the years has gathered.
