[000:00:00;00] the, the breaking news that's our is really strikes on the north of the guys that kill over 70 people. according to the end phase health ministry, all to a head on the program, the an idea of attack slots in a building in southern pay roots coming us. cuz paula reportedly fire scores of rockets of israel precious military launches its largest attack since august. don't you clean energy infrastructure across the country stating such sites? fuel keeps water efforts, ends on cost, plus the possible investment deal with most of the sparks fierce protesting

accounts here, where the presidency is promising. this step, solid of crowds agreed to advocate government buildings. the opposition claims the agreement, the question was only benefit the select few wealthy citizens. another fight is not against russia. 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 with the top, the rates in the past 7 days and right off to the movement developments this sunday . welcome to the weekly on art. as we begin with breaking news from northern gatzo, at least 72 people have been killed and dozens more wounded. in an idea of striking the city of bit lucky a. according to the strips health ministry, this fade circulating on social media is believed to show the aftermath of the strong local authorities upset

a residential tower. housing 6 polished indian families was targeted. there was no immediate comment from this real youth about civil defense teams report. they are on able to reach the area to, to they have the wreckage and fear the death tool, maybe even higher once the rubble, this will of building believes to be able to residential block in southern b roots has been slots and small. so during an idea of attack, a miss drive hit the area on sunday morning, sending clouds of smoke about this. it's all over the fuck you ration warnings issued for 3 sites. might be is really army. just the day after a series of rates, there are 2 corresponding. steve sweeney reports from the lebanese capital favorite woke up to a series of is why the strikes is the southern suburbs of the cubs to where you can probably see just behind me,

the smoke billowing. this was from on the top 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, a boy's boat as navy is ready to defend itself when it issued these of r q. i should orders, but this was very early in the morning. these are evacuation orders of being labeled, an adequate 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 questionnaire view is the 1st time really that this area has been struck in these righty of bombing. we're now seeing this shift in passing of these, right. the attacks on saturday of course uh there was a very violent attacks in the southern sop of the number of residential and

civilian buildings were destroyed in those attacks. and now taking place across the course of the day, a change you from the passing of the evacuation orders issued in the early evening all 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, that was still people living in those areas. so of course that was panic and chaos . but also in the meantime, that has been a, a savings of a tax buy uh has block crossteck into it as well, particularly northern is well the poor city of high for $100.00 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 is targeting is those minutes the capabilities, these are all military targets. the is very defense, all alone. it's probably said the has blah destroyed synagogue. of course, as we know, evidence presented for that. the is where the defense rules 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 flags with fire. this is a society series, a breach of security there is being taken very seriously. they decide is valid. the president of the soldiers has cooled a dangerous escalation. while the justice minister has said, well, this is a, a chip of a chain of a knock at the events. i need to either box the assassination of netanyahu. it is vitamin over throw in a crew. of course there is the phone right now inside is well that sled off it to take the off to the dismissal of the defense minister your gun gallop. he was, he was very popular inside as well that what he's protesting, tel aviv on jerusalem. so the tracks are beginning to show inside,

as well. meanwhile, hidden by ruth while the poems continue to follow, the russian defense ministry has confirmed the must have operation targeting ukraine's energy infrastructure. destroying all designated targets across the country are t senior correspondent broadcast the of can tell us more. well this is the law just combine. as tried carried out by russia. since late august, in 3 months, the law just strikes the legs he is claimed russian or 90 drones, as well as a 120 me solve the different types, including the hyper sorted. we saw the zip codes as well as getting jobs. at target's, whenever you quit, the entire country had sr runs, waiting for almost 5 hours. we had to start the sites all over the country,

where hits russian knew solves generally fly alone in precise, oh, very strange work may seem very strange. she directory is read by that, the out sly, you credit defense has come into credit in cities, but from different sides in order to confuse as if it just, it is of course, others sure. but by jail said that says in, you grade, 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 reclaims fuels the gradient, which he does that i'd say is claimed he's country is shot down out of the 200 all the ad talk is it because lords that they shut down a 140. this is unlikely to be true. practice has shown that you can often exaggerate it. success is defense, but nevertheless,

this is the largest stripe in, in 3 months. and the fear a new credit is the these might be followed up with another strike on when ready. we could, whether we can targets whenever you credit the big name, the start causing vigorously it's in the us establishment. as the new president elect continues to, a 9 says cabinet picks. biggest of all, and donald trump's team is tech tycoon 11 last crew set to lead dan or girl department of government efficiency he wants to get slashing. the x owner has also been poking from this lot of years and then speech recent claim. but you crane doesn't take orders from abroad. when there's a legend. ok my we are independent ukraine. so i think that you're in the swell all people and are testing the negotiations with the united states of america, with trump and bite. and you are the latest you are 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, any people tend to lead it with respect to this the she quality is one of the values of the west side and for today we needed most disability. yeah, that's what most schools ridiculing, was us conservative commentator jewels and pointed out to r t that t ed's actions prove that there are strings attached to washington spending. i think it's absolutely, sir. 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. busy washington stated that you need to step away from the table. you have warhawks 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 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 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. what another surprise choice and the trump to point to administration is former democrat chelsea galbraith to quit the party months after the start of the ukraine conflict, accusing it of war mongering. she's tough to serve as the director of national intelligence, the army reserve. this 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 about american officials from trying to stop propaganda from foreign adversaries? like food wire some proposing. we leave syria, which crude in 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 the proxy. war against the rush of 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 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 phone within the fact 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, fight and but she has long had problems within the policy problems that she has for those repeated, she said that they needed to get rid of the war 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 rights that 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? 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 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 own policy. actually when a ball no was in the office,

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 will becoming terrorist group, such as, i'll call you to an ice. and she said at the time that it was the, the decisions by that administration. that's 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 and say that we should stop army 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 are even under the command of terrace groups, like all tie done, isis all in their,

or their effort and fights over throw the syrian government. well, e glide view is, may have smoked in 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 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. no, to speak of mind as she knows a thing or 2. i mean, she has a slammed so many things that the bite and administration has been doing over the last few years. wanna start off with bio labs, 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 newland. 2 at the time was the under secretary of state kind of notes that the u. s. 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 lapse in ukraine by lives that the us is funding. she was a time. everybody was like, you are lying, your russian stooge. that system to comment 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. 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 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 speech device. despite the over and over she's been proved, correct. and i just want to add 25 brief points here. she has window for know for the bite, and his ministrations 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, the new see 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 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. a lot of our trump nominees, wearing the main stream is live, which are in my dates for the post of us attorney,

general and veteran on fox news on for pete headset for his secretary of defense. who is this you unplugged or put the defense? who would probably agree with this, i most things are like, well, if you don't stop them and you pray and then he's gonna go over and apologize. i don't, i don't think she's 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 want 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 end 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 crane. 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. what are the country peter former senate aid to joe biden? tartar reed was an issue earlier in express, cautious hope for the figures expected to take off. that was leading rules in washington's incoming administration. a toasting job or do you know i've met her rage against the war machine when we spoke out against the ukraine comfort? 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 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 going to be some n c i a. so there's going to be some big turn over there. you have you on most 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 hawkish 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 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 nat gates is more controversial even with the matters,

but i think you have enough support for him to get through. know, india has started the day with a historic achievement successfully launching a long range hypersonic missile for the 1st time. only a handful of countries literally have demonstrated such capabilities. previously, new delegates, defense minister and on the feed will appear, jumped out, made by the indian defense research and development organization, is capable of reaching a distance of more than 1500 kilometers. the weapons can be implemented into all branches of the country's armed forces, russia, china, on the us of the other states who can produce hypersonic missiles of this extent. while north korea and the many who t's are reported to the test fire such besides the opposition, protesters have broken down fences around the county in parliament and made the ongoing stand off with the government. the blocks. the coastal republic is reeling from 2 days on rest. over

a proposed investment deal with russia tried to of occupied the problem in the building and presidents us on the shania says he will only meet the mounds to resign and hold snuff selections. if they leave the building, r t corresponding to eager sit down our reports from the companies capital. so the stand off of the style made between the opposition and the incumbent. governments continues. we are just outside the problem and building that is still occupied by the old position. 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 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 old story basically being company, government, they've come up with an initiative that they call an invest an 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 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 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 friday. 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. and 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 showcases that so far it seems besides trying to reach a civil and rueful solution. tools. uh, but uh,

the interior minister himself has said that he has no plans to resign to all developments. several parisian, 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 they 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 rushing to 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, given that russia is up to the biggest allies that applies here has right now. in fact, the protests is the even 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 of money, which is something that most cool has cool to on both sides as well. now as for how negotiations fast 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. it's on subsidies. they were he and this building hearing out what the opposition has to say. then they traveled 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 stay on my 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 it peacefully. speaking exclusively to our t enough casual position leaders sought to clarify about the protests, are being done. specific, local officials, not against russia done as it was as part of the spell. assuming 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 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 in order to implement major investment projects here in collusion with our government, which is and at the same time, the cost state the cause 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 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 in up cause 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. european studies scholar stuff in guy, which is also the view that there's little that indication on the russian sentiments are driving the protesting of the counselor you. well, i think it would be a really premature to say that these are anti russian protests because we have seen the protesters coming with the russian flags. what it's seems to be the biggest concern is basically the fear of a hobby else. uh, from uh, the only only gar overtake, but maybe they are afraid of. uh, georgians, rich georgians with russian citizenship buying lines. you know, products here. so this is, we have to remember a call,

this is and holidays there is very sensible. so when we see the warming of nations between baltimore billy, see this of course makes a policy owns it professionally says. busy the cynthia is a bit more about the possible consequence. and the other line in garden say, the underlying issue here is of course, the default, the movies or fear and so for empowers of nato. well that's some of the stories from the week that was we've got plenty more throughout the day. don't go too far. i'll catch you again. tom the

the
