the, the russians military launches as largest attack since august on the print in energy infrastructure across the country. and also i have the idea of strikes flattened, the building and southern bay route as earlier on saturday idea flames. hezbollah fired 80 projectiles at israel. the 8 on march said to be donald trump's new advice or the tech 1000000000 are, is already marketing. these plans that you have is totally independent from the west and a possible investment deals. parsons fears to close to us in a positive for the president has promising to step down and proud degree to vacate government buildings. the opposition claims the land policy only of benefits a select few 12 deep citizens what is being offered behind such

a screen to attract investments is actually nothing more than a kind of new superstructure. overall, this boost setup is aimed at ensuring that individual, all the guards receive additional super benefits. the i'm rachel ruble. you're watching archie international live in moscow. the russian defense ministry has confirmed a mass of assault on ukraine's energy infrastructure, destroying all designated targets across the country. are to senior correspondent and rug. does the of brings us the details. well, this is the law just combined as tried, carried out by russia since late august in 3 months. the law just strikes the let's he is claimed russian orange, 90 drones as well as a 114 nissan of different todd secuity. hyper, sorta,

we saw the zip codes as well as getting jobs at target's will be great. the entire country had a saw origins waiting for almost 5 hours. we had the style, the sites, whatever the country of what it's russian knew solve, generally, fly alone in precise what very strange work may seem very strange. she directories went by that the out fly. you credit defenses come into credit in cities, but from different sides in order to confuse ad defends as it is, of course, others sure, but by jail sentences in you, craig, if anyone was a piece of golfing to publish details of what had been shot energy distribution generation transmission infrastructure that you created for structure, which was the claims, fuels that you created, which you know,

that i'd say is claimed he's country has shot down out of the $200.00 on the edge. how does it? because the lords that they shut down a $114.00, this is unlikely to be true practice. that shows that you can often exaggerate it successes, defense, but nevertheless this is the largest strike in, in 3 months. and the fear a new credit is that these might be followed up with another strike or whether we could, whether we can targets whenever you create us. over in the us, the president elect is already sending the shock waves through washington. thomas recent controversial cabinet nominations, c type 1000000000 are eli must the leading the new department of government efficiency, the future presidential adviser is already poking fine up. lot emergencies, recent claim that you trained doesn't take orders from abroad when there's no, there's no okay me. 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 you prove that the rhetoric of sit down and listen does not to work with us. and this is not because we, i like that because of this how we should treat any country. and people generally that with respect to this, the she quality is one of the values of the west side. and for today when you had most disciplines, zillow 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 has started as a proxy war anyway for the united states and 270000000000 dollars 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 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 you, i must said is that he's got quite that 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 and 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's a building believed it to be on a residential block in the southern bay root has been flattened during an idea of the attack. the straight to the areas sunday morning, sending clouds of smoke about the city, followed evacuation warnings issued for 3 sides by these really 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 in the southern suburbs of the cops where 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 in a residential building. and apartment block very, very close to saint george's hospital. they were 3 strikes this morning, including another striking, a pause. but as navy is ready to defend itself when it issued these of our curation orders, but this was very early in the morning. these are evacuation orders of being labeled an autocrat 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 buildings. one of the areas that we're starting to have to revisit that majority christian heavier is the 1st time really that this. 3 area has been struck in these variety of bombing, we're now seeing this shift in passing of these variety attacks on saturday. of

course. uh, there was a 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 from the passing of the evacuation orders issued in the early evening will 9 or 10 o'clock at night. but today's sundays, the tax will, 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 know the news well, the poor city of haifa, 100 missiles or more than 100 missiles and locates were fired over the course of such today this included drug and strikes has the law says it's targeting is those military capabilities, these are a little minute to talk is the is right. the defense all alone is probably said

that has blah destroyed instead of golf course. as we know, 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 there is being taken very seriously. inside is valve, the president of the current. so because it's called 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 box the assassination of netanyahu. it is fighting over throw in a crew. of course there is deep on rest now inside israel that fled off it particularly off to the dismissal of the defense minister, your gun gallop. he was,

seems very popular inside as well. that way he's protesting tel aviv and jerusalem . so the tracks are beginning to show inside as well. meanwhile, hearing babies while the poems continue to full a stand off between the city and government and pause. yeah. and opposition leaders as the black sea coast republic is reeling from 2 days of unrest over a proposed investment deal with russia. protestors have occupied the parliament and official buildings and president austin was anya has said he will only meet demands to resign and hold snap elections. if protesters leave our correspond to, it goes down our reports from the capital cities to whom things stand off of the style made between the opposition and the incumbent. governments 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 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 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 to 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 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 gods 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 price 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. uh so 5 seems besides uh trying to reach a civil and roof solution tools. uh, but uh, the interior minister himself has said that he has no plans to resign to business on default on several purch. and 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 be 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 adamant vehemently is the fact that they do not see this process as an empty russian move. i. 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 off for the biggest allies that applies year has right now . in fact, the protest as they given rules 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 cool has cool to on both sides as well. now, as for how negotiations, fam, the opposition and 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, its own subsidies. they wait 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. will robin ultimatum?

heard what the president and the cabinet i have to say and sofa. well, it is a stalemate 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 well in their power to resolve it peacefully. speaking exclusively to archie and i've has opposition leaders clicked to point out the protests are aimed at specific local officials, not against russia. unless it lets us pro spell 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 over all 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 then you can in order to implement major investment projects here in collusion with our government interest. and at the same time, the call state the up because people will receive practically nothing without 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 and t russian sentiments are driving the a positive in protest. well, i think it would be really look premature to say that these are anti russian protests because we have seen the protesters coming with the russian flags once it's seems to be the biggest concern is basically the fear of how the uh, from

a look only only got to overtake, but maybe they are afraid of georgians. rich georgians with russian citizenship buying land enterprises. yeah. so this is what happened. remember a call chris's and the holy things there is very sensible. so when we see the warming of nations between multiple with billy, see this, of course mates of how the owns and professionally solve to set the owns a bit motion about the possible consequence. and the underlining i would say uh, the underlining issue here is of course the defaults to movies or fear and so for empowers of nathan all right, we have breaking news reaching us from northern gaza at least 72 people have been killed in an id of strike on this to be a bit low here. that's according to the enclave. health ministry,

dozens more are said to be wounded. the strike has hit a residential tower, housing 6 palestinian families. this is a developing story and we will keep you updated as we get more information. the india has successfully launched a long range hypersonic missile. the country's defense minister announced the milestone achievements. vanessa all made by the indian defense research and development organization is capable of reaching a distance of more than 1500 kilometers. now, such weapons can be implemented in all branches of the countries armed forces, russia, china, and the us are the current leaders and the production of these types of arms. india now trails closely by and hello surprises. keep coming as donald trump rules out the short list for his new administration. one of the choices is pulls together a former democrat who quit the party at choosing it of war mongering. she is tapped

to serve as the director of national intelligence. gilbert 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 foreign adversaries? like put wires, 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 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 any phone with them is 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 same losing out eventually like 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 ross, who's sick 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 is, 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.

senator 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 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 the i'll call you to an ice as, and she said at the time that it was the, the decisions by the administration. that's cool. so what happened 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 should 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 spoked in 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 somebody who is 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, the head 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 of mine did, she knows a thing or 2. i mean she has at slammed so many things that the bite and administration has been doing over the last b is want to start off with bio labs by lives or something. russia is accused ukraine of having for very long time in saying that the us funded them that was denied over and over then back in 2020 to victoria, noon. and 2, at the time was the, and the secretary of state kind of notes that the us was involved in some via lots and ukraine got bought pump stone. this was like say you go with washer. was telling the truth. yes, there were these by lives in ukraine via lives with the us is funding. she was a time everybody was like, you are lying your russian students that system to her comments on the by 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 pen to go on, have to come clean and say, yes, actually it was the $20.00 old that she mentioned is 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 one window for another for the bite and administration is pooled the world 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 treat to the new c, a non proliferation treaty. and as a result of her not being pointed, she has been put on the ukrainian death list them or toby it's 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 listening to a russian point of view as well. other trump, nominators include matt 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 the conflict between russia and ukraine. the defense, you probably agree with this. i 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'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 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 stop them. no, we must do it. the i 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 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

or c contributor and former center age and joe biden, tara read, express cautious hope for some figures expected to take a bleed roles and washington's incoming administration in tulsa, gab or do you know, i've met her rage against the war machine when we spoke out against the ukraine conflict. 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 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 scott us down in iraq. con, she's a good person and she's going to be in a good position. she's also advising. you have mac a is 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 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 bureaucrat crap, are usually have been the ones behind a lot of the talk is more monitoring 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 when in all grace and as you 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 a mattress. but i think you have enough support for him to get through the durbin. all right, that is going to do it for me for now, but do stay with us. my colleague union o'neill will be in next in about half an hour with more news by the

the level done, most of which was buried without any orders. but in march 2006, tens of thousands of ordinary subs came to pay their respects the top of the funeral. and it became known that 2 days before his death, the loss of age had managed to write and send a letter addressed to the russians. russians by appeal to old russians, residents of ukraine and been a roost, as well as those in the balkans who consider themselves russian. look to us and remember, they'll do the same to you when you dis, united to give into weakness. the west is a mad dog and change the 2 by 2 in the throat brothers. remember the fate of yugoslavia don't let that happen.
