common ground the the mass power outages, rocky, praying following reports of russian strikes on energy infrastructure in multiple cities across the country. also it has the idea of strikes flattened, the building in southern. they rude as earlier on saturday. idea of claims has beloved fired ag projectiles. and israel with eli mazda said to be donald trump, new advisor, the tech millionaire is already maki environmentalist. these claims that you have is totally independent from the west and a possible investment deal. sparks is fierce protest and a positive for the president is promising to step down as crowds agreed of a government buildings. deposition claims. the agreement will only benefit

a select few wealthy 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 live in moscow, this is our t international. i'm rachel rubel, ukraine's energy minister reports mass power outages across the country after russian missile struck infrastructure in major cities. sunday morning. for more details as cross live now to our to senior correspondent broadcast, do you have more, i'd what more can you tell us as well this is the law just combine as strike carried out by russia since late august in

3 months. the largest stripe ukraine has come out, present zalinski, and his claim the russian lords 90 drones as well as a $120.00 miss solves of different types including hyper sorted resolves of gold as well as getting jobs as targets will be equipped. the entire country had sirens wailing for almost 5 hours. we had the stab sides, whatever the country where hits russian knew solve generally, fly alone in precise what very strange work may seem very strange. she jeffries, with by that the out fly, you credit defenses come into you credit. and so if you uh from different sides it or does it confused as if it just but ultimately of course, we will know the exact results the specifics of was, was hit for some time yet it is of course how they should,

but by jail said this is in you, craig, if anyone with a piece of golf was the problem, details of what had been struck. nevertheless, see you credit president as well as different officials of come up and claim. bosher struck energy infrastructure according to them exclusively. this is unlikely to be true, it is exactly what they claim claim last time, and they will just try the match stripe that. but it turns out that brush road struck about the control center as they've struck the warehouses, production facilities, as well as ad defends installations will be great. in addition to energy distribution, generation transmission infrastructure, did you credit which does still which lots of claims fuels the gradient, which he does? it has his claim, but he's country has shot down out of the 200 dollars at target because the launch

that they showed down a $140.00. this is unlikely to be true. practice that shows the ukraine often exaggerates its successes with defense. but nevertheless, this is the largest strike in, in 3 months and the fear a new credit is the lease might be followed up with another strike on whether we could, whether we can target whenever you quit. archie correspondent ra does the have more on. thank you for now to the us where the president elect is already sending shock waves through washington. donald trump's recent controversial cabinet nomination. see type 1000000000 are eel on last, leading the new department of government efficiency. the future presidential advisor is already poking fun at blood in her zalinski is recent claim that ukraine

doesn't take orders from abroad. when there's a legend. ok, right. we are independent ukraine, so i think that you're in the swell all the people. and i personally negotiations with the united states of america, with trump, and bite, and european leaders 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 just the she quality is one of the values of the west side and for today when we needed most the sprints. so all and then host of the conservative daily 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 making their own decisions, then why in the world did they step away only because washington stated that you need to step away from the table. you have warhawks and washington on the democrats side, and now the truck is coming in and he wants to posture. and frankly,

i don't think he's in a position to pass it for anything. and i believe what, what you, i must said, is that he's got quite the 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. i 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. a building believe to be on a residential block in southern bay root has been flattened during an id f a to the store. i get the area sunday morning, sending clouds of smoke above the city of follow the evacuation warnings issued for 3 sides by the israeli army. just one day after a series of raids, their

r t correspondence div sweeney has more. a favorite woke up to a series of is why the strikes and the southern suburbs of the capital. you can probably see just behind me, the smoke billowing. this was from an attack in the how does the region of the southern suburbs, the attack flats and a residential building and apartment block very, very close to saint george's hospital. they were 3 strikes this morning, including another striking force. our boat, as navy is ready to defend itself when the issue of these of occupation orders with this was very early in the morning. these are with actuation orders of be labeled and advocate and misleading by amnesty international. you have to imagine that this area is an area where internet connection is very poor. so people don't often receive these evacuation warnings. one of the areas that we're starting to have to revisit that majority christian heavier is the 1st time really that this area has been struck in these righty of bombing. we're now seeing this shifted in passing of

these right. the attacks on such a day, of course, that was very violent attacks in the southern suburbs. a number of residential and civilian buildings were destroyed in those attacks. and now taking place across the course of the day trying to form the passing of the evacuation orders issued in the early evening all 9 or 10 o'clock at night. but today's sundays, the tops well they took place just about one hour of the evacuation. the orders were issued, some of these areas all still populated, there was still people living in those areas. so of course that was panic and chaos . but also in the meantime that has been a series of attacks by has been all crossing into it as well, particularly those and these well the poor city of haifa, 100 missiles or more than 100 missiles and rockets were fired over the course of such today, this included drug and strikes has the law says it's targeting is those minutes the

capabilities, these are all minute to target is the, is very defense. sol, slowness probably said that has blah destroyed synagogue, of course, as be no evidence presented for that. the is why the defense schools often lights such statements without really any kind of evidence to bucket top. on the other hand, in a separate use that has been an attack on the residents of these very prime minister benjamin netanyahu. 3 people have been arrested off the flask with fire. this is a society series, a breach of security that is being taken very seriously. inside is valve, the president like isaac, so because as cold, a dangerous escalation, while the justice minister has said, well this is a, a chip part of a chain of a knock events. i don't even bobsy assassination of mentioned y'all who it is fighting over throw in a crew. of course it was deep and right now inside israel that fled off it

particularly off to the dismissal of the defense ministry of gun gallop. he was, he was very popular inside as well that will, he's protesting, tel aviv on jerusalem. so the tracks are beginning to show inside as well. meanwhile, hearing fibers, while the phones continue to hold that stand off between the city and government and i'm has yeah. and the opposition leaders as the blacks, the coast for public is reeling from 2 days of unrest over a proposed investment deal with russia. protestors have occupied the parliament and official buildings and president osland buzz. anya has said he will only meet demands to resign and hold snap elections. if protesters leave our correspondent, the guards down off reports from the capital city to whom the scandal from 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 to keep themselves room. now the opposition's demands remain the same. they basically say that the president and the anti 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 an election

and resign. the vice president will run the country and i will run in the election . what caused this whole 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 is to purchase land here in a project. and the opposition says that 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 as a mazda, as this friday. but right now, given that the old position that has, it seems they have reached at least in their, in the bulk of the, some like preliminary goals of the protest. right now the showing is significantly smaller. and of course,

the leaders of the opposition who have spoken to on set today. they say that they are ready to drive all these people back in the streets. also node 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 rule solution tools. uh, but uh, the interior minister himself has said that he has no plans to, to resign, to on development, several approaches. and normally under the command of the president, no one is going anywhere. i see this 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 him. 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 rushing to move.

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 of these relations, give them that russia is up to the biggest allies that applies here has right now, in fact, the protest as they even ruled 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, which is something that most people has called to on both sides as well. now as for how negotiations fab, the opposition and the president on talking to each other directly, instead, the public chamber of kaiser has taken upon itself the role of the media on saturday. the way this building hearing out of your 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. will robin ultimatum? heard what the president and the cabinet i have to say, and so far, well, it is a stalemate to the decides on meeting, meeting each other off the way. but again, the representatives of the public chamber have said that they will continue their work. they will continue mediating this complex and they will do well in their power to resolve it peacefully. speaking exclusively to archie and of a has a position later is clicked to find out the protests are aimed at specific local officials. it's not against russia. done that's it lets us both, but all 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 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 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 interest, and at the same time, the costs state the out because people will receive practically nothing with that. but that's what caused the whole protest. it should develop dynamically only forward the we have a very serious contractual basis. no, 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 europeans studies experts defined guides confirms there is little indication, anti russian sentiments are driving the pause in protests. well, i think it would 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 how the house, uh, from, uh, the only only gar overtake, but maybe they are afraid of. uh, georgians, ridge georgians with russian citizenship buying lines, you know, cause yeah. so this is what happened. remember a call, this is and the holidays there is very sensible. so uh, when we see the warming of nations between the walls really be uh, this of course, mates. uh, a house he owns it professionally salt. the said he owns a bit more about the possible consequences and the other line in garden say, uh, the underlining issue here is of course the defaults to movies or fear and so for empowers of nature. the surprises keep coming as donald trump rolls out, the short list for his new administration. one of the choices is put together

a former democrats who quit the party accusing it of war mongering. she is tapped to serve as the director of national intelligence. so she 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 ban american officials from trying to stop propaganda from foreign adversaries? like food wire some proposing we leave syria, which food and 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 and he used americans to spread his propaganda and it costs 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 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 sense it 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 phone, but that was that she was actually voice chest of the democratic national policies

that was housed in school. she was within the democratic policy. she even run 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 rocks within the democratic policy, that's just paperless and back in 2020. when she was going to be that presidential candidate, what she had 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 a part, 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 in policy and she, when a ball no, was no fish. she was shoes. really 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 that administration is course 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 to say that we should stop army stream? it streams every. oh, 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 alta nice is all in there. are there effort and fight to over throw the syrian government? well, he 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's happy to speak her mind as a result of that. 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, known 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 is want to start off with the fire lapse by lives or something russian was accused ukraine of having for very a long time and saying that the us funded them that was denied over and over them back in 2022. 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 buying labs and ukraine by labs 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 implemented 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 like the pentagon had to come clean and say, yes, actually, it was the $20.00 old, but she mentioned it was actually $46.00 point allowed. 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 been proved, correct. and i just want to add 25 brief points here. she has window for no, for the bite, and this ministration is brought the 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 on despite the fact that it's a signet change that needs to be a non proliferation treaty. and as a result of her not being pointed, she has been put on the ukranian. that's less the more tov its list 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 listen to a russian point of view. the other trump, nominators include mount gates for the post of us attorney general trump has turned to media figures as well. choosing veteran and fox news anchor pete headsets for his secretary of defense, who has a lot to say when it comes to conflict between russia and ukraine. the defense who probably agree with us on most things are like, well, if you don't stop on and you pray and then you can go and apologize, 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 frown himself, king of europe, he would, i think he's probably knows enough to know that as probably not going much further in the case of ukraine who are poor, what he's talking about, if he wants to award. 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 end you. we do not stop them. no, we must do it. the night was so furious but not surprised when i saw the bloomberg news report that the bite and administration is now considering draining $200000000.00 out of the army reserves to send more money to ukraine. 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 are taking tribute or in former senate, a to joe biden, to our read express kasha. so for some figures expected to take up a lead roles and washington's incoming administration. telson, galbraith, you know, i've met her at rage against the war machine when we spoke out against the ukraine consulate. this is in 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 4 and more. she's been in the us military. she has talked about the ways and the mismanagement and, and the need for the she talked about the horrible things that happened with that scottish down in iraq. she's a good person and she's going to be in a good position. she's also advising. you have matt gates, who's going to be attorney general who's going to be um, he's gonna be going after the d o j. and after yards there's going to be some n c i a. so there's going to be some big turn over there. you have you on must you

on must, who's going to be cleaning house and what they're going to be doing is going after the bureaucrats, the beer cat cross are usually have been the ones behind a lot of the hawkish war mongering because they benefit from it financially, that's all about to 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 matters. but i think you have enough support for him to get through to you. stay with us here on our to international up next for all the parts by the the

hello and welcome to wells apart. global politics has never been particularly orderly, unpredictable, but the recent american elections found their aftermath likely to add even more ramsey to the already boiling geopolitical caltrans. as the united states gears up for another 4 years of deep polarization, have called killed the rest of the world. drove closer, if nothing else than to protect itself from the outburst of the aging had jasmine of to discuss it now joined by our vin booked to director of the the canada to national foundation in new delhi. mr. gift is great to see your again, thank you very much for your time. now you wrote recently the colors of the world and particularly our continental, if you raise your have to.
