the, the breaking news on our t is really strikes across the gals that reportedly kilo written 90 people. this sunday, the vast majority in northern gals is to make book here, and also 5 aid workers in the intake side, while elsewhere in the region. the, the idea of conduct strikes in the lebanese capital, reportedly killing his full is media office of chief, or correspondence is up to the attack. as you can hear me say around, this is a civilian that is in the center of a root. so this is outside the normal target area of a da here. so we've seen civilians really in the states of still competing each other on the streets. india successfully test fires

a long range hypersonic. mr. filed for the 1st time in its history. joining on a lead group, policy and opposition pledges to establish an interim government if the current president for excuses to resign. while the republic leader says that it's not the election will be held only protesters leave government buildings address. and then once again, it is still possible to reverse voltage. the point of no return has not been passed and it is not worth reaching, it police will and very badly for everyone. the top stories for the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments this sunday as well. welcome to the weekly minority breaking uses where we begin is really forces have carried on it and attack on an area where it aid workers were operating

in the southern 1000 and city of con unice, killing 5 people and wounding several others. that's according to local media reports. the victims were part of a team delivering humanitarian assistance. earlier $72.00 people were killed, a dozen for wounded in an idea of strike on the northern city of faith last year. according to the incense, health ministry, and total sunday's death total inc, and also reportedly sounds at $96.00 people with the is really army attacking several areas across the strip of correspondent for us history channel r t r a big census this from the growing numbers here then say, i mean a heavy upper limit or your reports indicated 9 to 6 casualties have been recorded in the north and neighborhoods of because of stripped air strikes on residential buildings. in the beta here area, the strikes specifically targeted pistols, billions inside their homes, safety their reports, the dis, buildings were constructed on solid foundations,

with one sheltering around 70 citizens and refugees. the operation to recover the season missing individuals trapped under that level is still under way. however, civilians and volunteers are facing significant challenges in reaching the side of the strike due to fears for their attacks by the israeli army. civil defense has restricted access to the pipes to rebuilding the price for help continue. the showing over residential building in the buying area has resulted in 50 fatalities with thousands of individuals still on account of course, and many believe to be trapped under the degrees. consequently, the number of casualties in northern cause is expected to rise following the series of strikes. these reli military has conducted attacks from level vessels along the coast of funds units, as well as the result, the death toll is likely to keep rising. and the dire and complex humanitarian crisis in the enclaves with severe shortages of food medicine and medical supplies across the southern central and northern provinces of the gaza strip. the situation

remains extremely critical. and in the lab and on 5 people helping pills in an idea of strike on central be roots again this sunday, according to the lebanese health industry, the capital cost so far come under id fired twice today. so let's believe they targeted building. how is the offices of a political party? i'm the according to media reports, as well as media relations chief, a home that i was killed in the attack, though not as yet to be officially confirmed. ortiz, a route based correspondence. these 20 centers, this from the side of the striking point you can see behind me is the ultimate of the latest is righty strike here in the liberties capital. they wrote this building as opposed to the, the headquarters of the serious. so it is nice photo nationally as policy i policy that sees itself very much as part of the resistance in depth on it has vices on the front line and so on. so the level that is believed and it's a room,

it's of the, the target was it has the press and media chief mohammed is reported in some media including voices that he's being killed and not talk. we have no confirmation of this as yet. we've seen a, a slew of ambulances by surviving out, besides, on leaving the site, presumably carrying away those that were wounded in the attack. as you can probably see all around, this is a subsidiary. this is in the center of babe ruth, so this is outside the normal target area of a die 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 civilians, buildings, apartment buildings in the here, districts in the southern. so it's a bi route 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 off area of the liberties copper to this area. so you did this morning. well, one of them is that for dominant, nice christian area, the 1st on this area has been targeted. we heard church bells ringing and guns law to allow people to the is why the bombing, the evacuation orders, which have been described as electra and misleading vice amnesty international course. many people would still been sleeping. they wouldn't have seen the use of occupational orders, and of course there's an area where there is very poor internet connection, meaning that most people will 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 foaming over the course of the week has intensified on these problems and the targeted attacks. so coming across the course of the day, from the very early in the morning, around 9 or 10 am,

the peak time is the time. and people in here often return to the homes to collect below means or as they go to their appointments. housing blocks on areas of being destroy sifting through the rubble for anything that remains. now, officials are expecting increased is lady hostilities over the next 2 months. this is before the you know, the ration of president elect donald trump. this is rudy district. some a signed in negotiation, so the moment that c 5 agreement remains a distant hopes that all expected 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 favor of the russian defense ministry has confirmed the mazda of elk preparation, targeting ukraine's energy infrastructure, saying that all designated targets across the country were destroyed. ortiz,

senior correspondent, rock us the of consolidated as well. this is the law just combine 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 types, including hype, a saw that we saw some good 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. what over the country, where hits russian knew solves generally fly alone in precise? oh, very strange. what may see very strange she directories web. why that the out fly, 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, craig, if anyone was a piece of golfing to publish. busy 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 he does it, i'd say is claimed. he's country a short dog out of the $200.00. all the ad talk is it because lords that they shut down a 114, 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 peer and you can is the, the smart be followed up with another strike on whether we could, whether we can targets whenever you create to get another story. we're

following this, our opposition protestors occupying the parliament building enough. kazi, a, i've said they will establish an interim government that the country president refuses to resign by this evening. with the deadline. fast approaching crowds earlier down fences around the apartment building and made the ongoing stand off with the government another blocks. the coastal republic is reeling from 2 days of unrest. already over a propos, investment the russian president, us lun, shania saves, he will only meet demands to stand on in hopes of elections. if those rallying leave that the link are to correspond to decrease, develop reports from the countries capital circle, the stand off of the style made between the opposition and the incumbent. government continues. we are just outside the parliament buildings 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 opposition's 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 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, who is this whole 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 friday. but right now, given that the opposition that has, it seems they have reached, at least in their 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 showcase is that. so 5 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 the buffering, several parisian, normally under the command of the president. no one is going anywhere. i see this statement that i'll position is amazing 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 in now one message that the opposition has also tried to get across repeatedly and very well adamant to vehemently is the fact that they do not see this process as an anti russian move. uh, in fact, the leaders, toby, that these 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 the rushes out to the biggest allies that applies here has right now. in fact, the protest is they give them rules. russian flags on friday, alongside with the flags of the republic. with them he had to showcase that this is indeed an internal dispute. and right now this diffused dispute. it seems they are ready to sole piece, which is something that multiple 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 himself the role of the media. and this building harry 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 robin ultimatum? heard what the president and the cabinet?

i have to say, and so far, well it is a stalemate to the the, the sides on reaching, 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. while ego was also able to speak directly to president special needs, who warned the opposition against crossing the point of no return. if they tried to take power by force. here's parts of that exclusive sit in for you. in fact will be broadcast in full right here in our t next dollar cost and their grandpa as well. 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's assembly will adopt regulations in accordance with which snapped 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 path acceptable, but most importantly, it is constitutional. it does not violate any legal norms that exist. so, but the 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 and political points on these put pressure and become the leaders of cause. yeah, this is the path 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 week of the citizens . and how can we call these other than answer the russian and to our cause, sentiments, those agreements worked for the citizens of a positive work to strengthen our ties, to develop our economy, to develop our alliance and brotherhood. if someone is against the, 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 certain organizers of master wives be supplies to them, which is what i'm addressing. then once again, it is still possible to reversible this, 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 and very badly for everyone. also speaking to r t, an opposition leader in the pals here sought to clarify that the protest are aimed at specific local officials, not against russia of the glasses, but a 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 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 will go we can, you can in order to implement major investment projects here in collusion with our government interest. and at the same time, the cost state the because people will receive practically nothing but the sure that's what caused the whole protesters to it. 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 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. the free trade force that is the asia pacific economic cooperation grouping has wrapped up its annual gathering. a peck made up of $21.00 states, chose to focus on regional issues this year, keeping global crises like the ukraine conflict and gals add ons land. but

memorization rushes sees there were some attempts to politicize the event by washington. details on were given, but one thing that was noticed was us present. joe biden arriving 2 hours late for the summit with his c capital one by another american official fight and then made all the other leaders wait for him to join the traditional from the photo session. he ended up sounding at the end of the back row on the sidelines at the summit. the us lead are met with these chinese kind of do part. she didn't pay to discuss a range of topics. what basing once again underline it's positional in the ukraine conflict, prioritizing, mediation on negotiation as p to resulting the violence, international race and scholar. china's switch our university. if after go safe, no peace can be maintained with our most school being directly involved in talks as 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 other

major natal member states all the other hand, europe will not have lasting peace by excluding russia and the world will not have lost the piece by excluding russia sooner or later the united states. and they told member states and the west blocks 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 really controversial posts, but that's hopeful the best that's gives me so the best of the, the benefit of the doubt. and hopefully he can really achieve what he promised to do to bring the walk through that as quickly as possible. opening a new page in the russia,

europe relationship. that was the focus of the symposium taking place. and so to this week were key political and business figures from breaks and e, you, nations gathered together, we spoke to the founder of the best smart dialogue, can use an analysis. i to say it's fresh thinking on the most school brussels relationship. it's crucial, as he mentioned this too much people have to come together. diplomacy has to come because it is more important than fighting against each other. and the fact that the russian divide says he has western europeans, i find quite outstanding because it is important to speak and testing and to look into each other size. i think these helps the whole world that you're repeating, you did, does not realize what it is doing to people that it was to you or the sanctions. they haven't post against russia. he's our people and much more than they hate russians. they wanted to isolate russia, but they achieved the exact opposite. the whole world is come into russia. the brick states i hear breaks plus these here. you can see that they have taken

a different path by the european union has not yet understood this. we held that cooperation will succeed with india, with russia, with china, so that we can come together because we all need the economy. that is very important. the bed is that when petitions realize they have made a mistake, they can change it anymore and they don't want to change it. you need new people to do that. you need new parties that push for people to come together and for a different strategy. and because to me, i think as many industrial companies move from germany to the us and china, then we have a very big problem and something will change quickly. it's clear that we need affordable gas from russia. we don't need the expensive energy offered by the us. maybe the present trumpets real pressure on you or as, as the us needs that gas for itself. then we'll see what you're able to get to it. perhaps this was really help us in west and you were consuming all a historic day

in indian latree history. you'd at least defense minister has a nice the country has successfully launched a long range hypersonic missile for the 1st time. only a handful of countries have previously managed to develop such technologies. ortiz ranging sharma picks up the story, the d r e o e e mails to san juan, so its an development organization that tested the high force. so on this side. and this was a successful test with the miss on getting the to august with a high degree of accuracy now expired. so i'm suggesting that this very well could be the most consequential the most significant messiah test in, in the history. now this is in the off thoughts, long range were 1st, hypo sonic. besides the test on this test to the messiah has a range of over $1500.00 too long. it does not let me tell you what

a high for sonya can decide it really is. it's basically in this all applies above $58.00 other words and the solve the solve the speed, which is 5 times that old song which makes the hypotonic besides distance, all the outdoor messiah like the sickness side, for example. and what, what really makes a difference is it, when you were booty and it typically makes it difficult, almost impossible to intercept or basically besides because of the speed at which it moves. now this is going to be a huge loss for the indian. all forces on your hands, full of guns in the world, are walking on the hypersonic technology, rochelle, being one of them. now schools to support india, also in the, in needs to level one countries using the hypersonic messiah. despite saying corruption is the primary impediment to ukraine's post conflict

recovery and an earlier report to congress. the pentagon itself has some questions to alter helping failed. get this a fiscal audit for the 7th consecutive year despite the shocking track record, the us under secretary of defense actually send improvement. and this result was not a surprise. and i know that on the surface it doesn't sound like we're making progress . however, that is not the case. i think i'll strongest possible what is to keep a lot of continued in wolf with doing well. audits show the defense department unable to account for over 60 percent of the congressional funding for at least 3 years in a row. not the much the trillions of dollars yet as we heard that's considered progress. the public on the us request. it's 850000000000 more in 2025. know we spoke with mike on the list who is a former senior security policy on the was in the us office of the secretary of defense. he sees the task of monitoring all those dollars. well,

that has to be difficult because there's 800 military bases around the world, but need to be catered to a this has always been the case of the kind of guy has never been. a pet has continuously lost billions of dollars and you gotta keep in mind that the united states has something like $800.00 basis around the world. which is mind boggling to try and keep keeping a tabs on the accuracy of expenditures. taking another example, what, what, what's happened to the money from the defense department that goes to ukraine. there is no way of knowing how much has actually gone and where it's going and how it's being spent. all they know is that a certain amount of sense. but there's no accountability in how it's been sent or spent. rather, it remains a challenge. i think they, um,

they had 1700 auditors on this. and even, even the audit cost hundreds of millions of dollars, which shows you how intricate in detail this kind of study had had to be. and yet it still failed. alright and american veterans direct thoughts next on the ukraine conflict of scott bennet troubles to don't boss and sees the situation for himself. turner, what struck him the most in the front line cities the i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except we're so shorter is that conflict with the 1st law show your mind in

justification, we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to place a trust rather than fit the various jobs, i mean with the artificial intelligence, we have somebody in the, in the a robot must protect this phone. existence was on the line. scott bennett, i'm a former united states army psychological warfare officer and he served in the state department counterterrorism office under investor del daily. so i wanted to come here to russia in the dawn bass area and gather the facts to take back to the american people. for

the course or the hold on bass of the front line. so this is where the bombs and the bullets are raging. this is where people are dying.
