for the breaking news and artsy is really strikes on the north of dallas at kill over 70 people, according to the implants, health ministry, and elsewhere in the region. the . the idea of conducts to strikes on the 11 east capital on sunday of codes. paula reported, leads fire scores of rock pits that israel last brushes, and military launches its largest attacks and to get some training and energy infrastructure plus a free sitting such side spiel of war efforts against the people of the with the top stories for the past 7 days and writes up to the moment developments

this sunday. welcome to the weekly on arch. we begin with breaking news from northern gatzo. at least 72 people have been killed on dozens more wounded in an idea of strike on the city of faith law. here, according to the strips health industry, this funded circulating on social media is believed to show the aftermath of the strike local authorities upset or residential tower housing 6 power spending families was targeted. there should be no immediate comment from israel while civil defense team for port they are unable to reach the area due to the heavy rac agency or the death toll may be much higher. once the rubble has cleared, the 11 east capitol of a root has also come under idea of fire. footage of the attack is spreading and social media summer ports plain. the targeted building was the offices of the syrian social nationalist party, which advocates subsuming level into a later syria nations. they no casualties helping reported. there is yet also,

according to international news agency, citing local officials has bowl is media relations. chief my home and a 5th has been killed in and there's really strikes. we are awaiting verification on that. earlier ortiz pay route based corresponded steve sweeney took us through developments. the way you can see behind me is the of the most of the lights. this is right. the strike here in the liberties capital. they wrote this building as opposed to the, the headquarters of the serious search with nice, so to nationally as policy i policy that sees itself very much as part of the resistance and left it on it has finances on the front line inside. and so the level that is believed is being rumored that the the target was it has about pressing media cheese mohammed, our faith is reported in some media, including voices that he's being killed in the time. we have no confirmation of this as yet. we've seen a, a slew of ambulances by surviving besides,

on leaving the site, presumably carrying away those that were wounded in the attack. as you can probably see or around, this is a civilian every, this is in the center of the roof. so this is outside the normal target area of a da here. so we've seen civilians really in the state of shaw, competing each other on the streets. and at the moment we can see emergency services working on the scene that goes to the level to try and find any survivors . now this comes off to a series of these radio attacks on civilian buildings, apartment buildings in the da here districts in the southern. so they were very early this morning, we saw a one apartment completely, a blister right, kids. and this strike was very close to the saint. george's hospital in the hot off area of the liberties copper to this area, the areas that what time did this morning? well, one of them is a predominant the christian area. the 1st on this area has been targeted. we heard

church bells ringing on gum fi to enough people to the is why the bombing, the evacuation or this, which have been described as electra and misleading by this the international cost . many people would still been sleeping. they wouldn't have seen these evacuation orders, and of course there's an area where there is very poor internet connection meetings . most people, well, many people would not have been able to go online to see them. now this, what we're seeing now is an escalation from israel. the bombing over the course of the week has intensified on these problems and the targeted attack. so coming across the course of the day, from the very early in the morning, around 9 or 10 am the peak time. this is the time and people in here often return to the homes to collect below meetings or they go to their appointments and housing blocks on areas of being destroy, sifting through the rubble for anything that remains. now officials are expecting increased is why the hostilities over the next 2 months. this is before the

innovation of president elect. donald trump. this is rudy district and it's kind of the negotiation. so the moment that cease fire agreement remains a distant hope that all expect it to be phone calls between washington and lebanon like to this week. in the meantime, is radia tax on 11 and continue. this is steve sweeney for all to you in favorites . ok to another headline. stories today, the russian defense ministry has confirmed the mass of operation targeting ukraine has energy, infrastructure, destroying all designated targets at they say across the country are to senior, corresponded broadcast. the of can tell us more. well this is the law. just combine, as strike carried out by russia since late augustine, 3 months, the law just strikes the let's he is claimed russian orange, 90 drones as well as a 120 me solve the different todd secuity hyper sorta. we saw the zip code

as well as getting jobs. at target's, whatever you create, the entire country had a saw origins waiting for almost 5 hours. we are the star, the sides, whatever the country of what it's russian knew solve generally, fly alone in precise what very strange work may seem very strange. directories read by that the out fly you credit defense has come into credit in cities, but from different sides in order to confuse ad defends as it is. of course. others should vote by jail sentences in ukraine. if anyone was a prison golfing, to publish details of what had been shot energy distribution generation transmission infrastructure, and you created infrastructure, which was the claims,

fuels that you created, which he does that i'd say is claimed he's country has shot down out of the $200.00 on the ad talk is it because lords that they shut down a $114.00, this is unlikely to be true. practice that shows the ukraine often exaggerates its successes, defense. but nevertheless, this is the largest strike in, in 3 months and the peer and you can is the, these might be followed up with another strike on where the we could, where the we can targets. whenever you create of the opposition, protesters have broken done fences surround the outcome of parliaments and made the ongoing stand off with the government. the black sea coastal republic is reeling from 2 days of unrest over a proposed investment. deal with russian crowds have occupied the parliament building and save able establish an interim government if the current leader

refuses to resign. well, presidents often push on it, and so he's, he will only meet the mountains, the staff dollars on who will snap elections if those rallying leave the building party correspondence english is on a, for points from the countries capital simple. the stand off of the stalemate 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 on the a few over the, in the back. they deliver them over the overnight to keep themselves room. now the opposition's 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 in and out snapped 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 cool 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 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 as a mazda of this friday. but right now, given that the opposition that has, it seems they have reached at least in that, in that book. uh, the, some like preliminary goals of that protest. right now the showing is significantly smaller. but of course, the leaders of the opposition who have spoken to uh on saturday they say that they are ready to drive all these people back in the streets. also 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 roof solutions tools. uh, but uh, the interior minister himself has said that he has no plans to resign to business

on development. so 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 be his orders until now the people because i chose the president and we sort of and now one message that the opposition has also try to get across repeatedly and very well, add a monthly fee, monthly is the fact that they do not see this process as an anti russian move. in fact, the leaders of toby that if things go their way, basically they will continue with the frenzy release is with russia. they will continue to build up all of these relations, given that russia is our tool. the biggest allies that applies here has right now, in fact the protest is they give them rules, rushing flags on friday along side with the flags of the republic with them here to showcase that this is indeed an internal dispute. and right now this diffused

dispute. it seems they are ready to sol piece, which is something that most people has called 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 saturday. the way this building hearing now 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 broaden 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 conflict and they will do well in their power to resolve it peacefully. with eager was also able to speak directly to president bush on here who warranted the

opposition against crossing the point of no return. if they decide to take power by force, here is part of that explicit sit done. the interview will be broadcasting full later here in north a task. yeah. can i apologize? yeah, there was a pause. now. i made a statement yesterday i repeated this statement today. the essence of this statement is that the protestors must leave the building complex after which the president and the people assembly will adopt regulations in accordance with which snap presidential elections can be held. i'm ready to resign as president in such a scenario. and i'm already preparing for new elections. i consider these pat acceptable, but most importantly, it is constitutional. it does not violate any legal norms that exist. whole point is that they are waging a dirty political struggle. they understand that the elections are coming. they do not won't be select, has to be held under normal conditions. they want to impose

a forced option on our voters to expel the kind of government earned political points on base pressure and become the leaders of kazi. yeah, this is past they have chosen and they're trying to implement this past. no one will give up, power. power can only be transferred by the expression of the wheel of the citizens . and how can we call these other than answer the russian and to our cause, sentiments, if those agreements weren't for the citizens of a closet work to strengthen our ties, to develop our economy, to develop our alliance and brotherhood. if someone is against this, how else can we call this? i can describe these in any other words. i want to emphasize once again, that's chosen representatives of the opposition and sort of the organizers of mass riots be supplies to them. but i'm addressing them once again. it is still possible to reverse folders. the point of no return has not been passed and it is not worth reaching it. it is certainly not worth reaching it. these will end very badly for

everyone. also speaking to r, t a policy or opposition leaders sought to clarify that the protests are we in that specific local officials, not against russia. i'm done nice as lots of products, 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 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 exist. what is being offered behind such a screen to attract investments is actually nothing more than a kind of new superstructure overall this and as we are all convinced,

this setup is aimed at ensuring that the individual, all the guards, as we call them here, receive additional super benefits in order to implement major investment projects here in collusion with our government, which is and at the same time the cost state the cause people will receive practically nothing. that's what caused the whole protest. it should develop dynamically only forward the we have a very serious contractual basis. 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. now the trade power, that is the asia pacific economic cooperation, summit's annual gathering, has wrapped up in peru. apec, made off of $21.00 states, chose to focus on regional issues this year, keeping global crisis like new cream conflict against the add ons land. but the member russian, so he's there. busy are some attempts to politicize the event by washington, by details and not weren't given. but one thing that was notice was us president joe biden arriving a full 2 hours late for the summit with a c capital one by another american official fight and then made all the other leaders wait for him to join the traditional family photo session. he ended up sending up the end of the back row on the sidelines of the summit. the u. s. leader

met with his chinese counterpart. she didn't ping to discuss a range of it's hump day so well basing. we know once again under lines, it's position on the train conflict, prioritizing, maybe a negotiations are key to resolving dot violence, international ration scholar at china. so charlie university, victor, guys say, no peace can be maintained with side law school being directly involved in talks. the war between russia and ukraine is fast, becoming a wall between russia on the one hand, and they told, and the united states and all the major natal member states, all the other had. europe will not have lasting peace by excluding russia and the world will not have lost the piece by extruding russia sooner or later the united states. and they told member states of the west to oblige, need to re engage with russia. it's encouraging to see that mr. trump, once he becomes the president on january, the 20th may actually take very forceful measures,

try to bring russia and ukraine onto the same table to talk about a peaceful settlement. even though missed the dollar trunk has turned out to be highly controversial posts. but let's hope for the best. let's give mister dollar term, but best of the, uh, the benefit of the vouch. and hopefully he can really achieve what he promised to do to bring the walk through, and that as quickly as possible. opening a new page in russian european relations. that's was the focus the aim of a symposium taking place in sort you this week for a key, political and business figures from bricks and e you, nations gathered. we spoke to a member of the german underside there who say sanctions on russia is in fact costing citizens in europe purely. we have such a 6 that say that our imports, both diesel oil from india have thrown dramatically. and nobody

asks the question where the diesel gas from, from india originated from a, for the originator from russia, because that trades has increased a lot. and this is such a pick up for you that you really think uh, where are the media to us? because the right and critical and so simple questions, and they will keep quiet all the time. they will not educate the population about the failure of the, of these policies. and that shows to me, this is my experience as a opposition kind of titian in germany. it's a well word to finally to machine the politics. obeying the rules set by washington and the media applauding these politics

pretending to be critical here and there, but not in the sensitive areas. and so it's a heart issue. it's a hard time for the citizens to wake up and to understand what is really going on. i think that the public is even more aware of the really problems behind those issues we have just discussed. then the media would ever understand those journalists. they also have cheats with their eyes shuts and just directed to one side. they are ideologically biased. what was doctor ross 1st 6 to bring areas closer together? his party has find itself in the process back home where a group event peters speaking to bon. i tried the right wing at steve the winner of this year's regional elections in the german state of 3, and yet not its members have long been competing against berlin's policies on

ukraine's sanctions in moscow. and the a bundling of russian gas imports are to contribute original. morrison tells deeper not into the attempt to silence one of the country's most popular parties. so lawmaker from germany center right establishment christian democrats is spearheading and move to try the populace. right, alternative for germany or a of the party which talked about the seats environment because apparently democracy means over turning and eliminating the electoral choice of the german people with a group of your bodies. because you don't like the results. our demand is now on the table in the bonus tag. we must subject this powerful right wing radical party to a review by the federal constitutional court as provided for the basic law. nothing less than our free democracy is at stake. so the way this is going to go down now, is that this guy along with just over 100 other m p 's and the german who does that mostly from the establishment grieves the social democrats and also the socialist

party that's losing its working class. you popular support plus a small handful of christian democrats are all going to try to convince the majority of the $736.00 law makers to vote sometime in december or january, probably to send the proposed ban to the federal constitutional court. now it's fear mongering always plays a role in facilitating any of this as i democratic modeling because law is there wasn't a national security threat then it would just be a straight up authoritarian power play. and that really doesn't go over to well, i am pleased about the steadily growing support among and peas. this certainly has something to do with the fact that the f d party is once again playing a role in a bite wing, tara complex. more and more colleague see it has the responsibility to protect democracy and the people of this country from the danger posed by this nazi party. so what kind of a terrorist stuff are these duly elected?

so called nazi's up to anyway, by getting the i was against the support of ukraine from the very beginning. for many reasons. i'm the, including the fact that the economic situation in europe doesn't allow us to finance the war for several years. it was also the you and germany in particular, were in a state of energy dependence on russia, which reliably supplied us high quality energy at very reasonable prices. and we could not afford to seek open conflict with russia. that is why i called the attitude of the europeans obstinacy, so it could not afford to seek open call flanked with russia. yeah, it doesn't sound very nazi since the nazis literally tried to invade russia. look, if the ac is making ways these days, it's because germans are fed up with all the other party options. i do not support, for example the i f d. but i would say that it would be unrealistic to abolish them because we live in a democracy. i do not think this move is democratic touch. it's a stupid idea. democracy means that people get to vote even if you are unhappy with

the results. so basically what you have are a bunch of m p 's from establishment german parties using legislative tools at their disposal to have a collective temper tantrum because they're not liking the direction that the these popularity is had to do to construct the if the showed really results and became the strongest policy in the ring. the, the prospect of a successful binding procedure is extremely low. i don't even believe that there will be a majority in the german parliament to approve this proposal. but this demonstration shows once again, that they want nothing to do with the a f d. and it is a lack of understanding of democracy when a party suddenly obtains new aspects, new goals and new ideas that do not fit the established parties. so it is absurd to say that we should quickly band the party. the i of the is often accused of being right wing and extreme is that we are the new, freshest nazis. this formula has been used so often over the last 11 years that it has now completely worn out. it's outdated and it doesn't work anymore. a snap

election is now slated for the end of february. so what exactly happened? well, the bickering in the political marriage of convenience between social democratic casserole. i show that his finance minister christian linda are the leader of the centers, free democratic party, blue apart, the big happy spray a bunch of styles, 3 party political traffic like coalition family that they have going on. the degrees shoals ended up airing, dirty family laundry, recently on a car, and the meals goes tv shows saying that lender, why is to take billions of bureaus in cash from german pensions to give to ukraine, which schultz refused to do? but other german politicians heard that story and they were kind of wondering whether you've been smoking. chancellor schultz is lying to people's faces. no pensioner would have received even a single euro less if leading or had prevailed. the pension increase alone would have been slightly lower, to take ukraine hostage for this pension lie is shameful and unworthy. so in any

case, the divorce is over, there's 4 kids. ukraine twined a bunch of towers long range missile systems for christmas, from santa schultz. and it also came out in the german press, that lender was pushing for souls to just hand those over instead of more billions of bureaus and cash that germany simply doesn't. house shoals said no handy over long range stars missiles would mean escalating the war and he told linder, hey buddy, just take your foot off the break for a 2nd. so i can shop another 3000000000 euros and cash out the door to you crate. lender said no. he said, give them more of those dusty weapons sitting in the closet or forget it. even if it's the ones that can start world war 3. because well, we don't have any actual cash to do anything else right now. so that was it for sure to pitch to fit basically just tossed off winters closer on the line after that. and while the marriage to apart. but despite all this, german family dysfunction no doubt,

zalinski still fully expects the child support to keep rolling and uninterrupted. rachel morrison, well former f, the leader in bavaria lou rick, singer sais, europe's foreign policies have caused huge problems for the german economy. a hardy demand for, for more than 2 years now the dialogue requests it wants to spend more is labeled as fix some of these things we've on fees, and that is already extremely busy. now, we have to talk with russia avoiding premiums, most helpful for anybody. these are the sanctions we are against the things and from the 1st day because we knew that without russian gas, we will have a problem in germany. and now we see what is happening. that all government has to step down fairly earlier because they have really, really destroyed our economy in germany. we have big problems because of used cars prices last these great markets in russia where we cannot sell our cars for you.

you can sell all from the products anymore. it's use with a twist. next in our 2 years hoshiko is brings us the latest episode of most of them. you'll see what the golf at dublin are talking today. friday, the

the, [000:00:00;00] the hey, everybody. welcome back to moscow. welcome back to the moscow mules on shaped bows . and i'm joined as usual by my side kick. and i saw the brains behind the operation. and you always need that. you need a bit of icon. you need to brain school. things come in small packages behind. every great man, there's a great woman in this case study. of course the election is overhaul on a bit of a low. we're in a bit of a trough. so i think it's time to reflect a bit on how exactly did the democrats make searches. sure. hope the election.
