[000:00:00;00] the, the beast is an unprecedented escalation of tensions. i told the sleigh bank republics, ministers of foreign affairs and defense not to support the us decision at any international for him or in any other way. a move destined to pack 5 that severe for some and you're at the mid mountain concerns. i have a washington support. the crane, which now reported me, increased the green lights on keeps using us, made long range lessons to strike on his left for the pregnant pulls out the dangerous escalations is west, through the specialist would need to be directly involved. a quick reply to my pigeons. audi, a warning that stopped to tax, what do you close? involvement find they tend to people tell them that something lebanese city

opened. nobody's here in an idea that strikes concepts has been a launch, is a barrels with the full t real pets fluids as well. so you, expands is sanctions against are wrong on allegations, is not make the rest public has provided minutes with snape, or rough uh, the loan of our will. welcome to our teams national. just on 8 pm here in most go we on live from our h cute, gets happy with us. we'll starting us off leading nato power as i'm talking to us from some britson. now down, plague previous reports that bait is the rise key of to conduct a long range missile strikes deep into russia. now that representative saliva declined to comment off. i'm think you will see insisting that the countries

positions on the mass of remain on check. just mean while there's initial media reports have been mysteriously deleted, but there is one need to remember that isn't so tight lipped about the potential escalation. germany said it was well aware that the bite in administration could make such a decision before it makes way. so donald trump was the, did the federal government know beforehand died and would pledge fall reaching weapons and will this now have an effect on the tourist miss? i'll discussions of yes, the federal government was informed about this, and no, it has had no effect on the chancellor's decision, not to provide the tours. so let's talk numbers. the types of west and long range missiles involve they do couple different distances for the ultimate solves comfortable up to $165.00 chrome. it says well, be from scouts and bridges, storm shadows can reach around $250.00 points. putting such a,

such as for one is up that will some of the stuff we've done in crime yeah. within reach. now the new american attack comes can actually hit up to 300 kilometers meaning. but as you can see, there is regions closer to moscow. a back can really become potential pockets. now some pro peace play is in europe all loudly demanding a step back from the break that you have to impose between your supervisor. i express my sincere disagreement with the decision of us president biden, to allow the use of american rockets to target the territory of the russian federation. with a clear goal of completely eroding or dividing peacekeeping efforts. i told the slovak republic, ministers of foreign affairs and defense not to support the us decision at any international form or in any other way. this is an unprecedented escalation of tensions. it is surprising how quickly some e u countries welcome this militant step by the us. this is already confirmation that the you is unable to formulate its own fundamental foreign policy. and the

west wants to continue the war and ukraine at all costs. the decision by the outgoing us president biden will also significantly impact the plans of the incoming president. trump, who has publicly expressed interest in ending the war in ukraine. slovakia is ukraine's neva and has an existential national state interest in pace and ukraine who wishes to continue the war and welcomes the useless militant steps of the west, palms the slow back national state interests to us president biden's clear cut position above all homes. ukraine itself or how they were to, i'm ready to go on while some foxon has criticized this latest escalation, all the europe and leaders have a different take the job and for administer. for example, fully backing the move level in light of the recent decision from the us. and i want to emphasize that this is not a reevaluation, but rather an intensification of the support already provided by other partners. and it is crucial at this moment. flossing people, so these are missiles that have

a range of up to 300 kilometers. these are not the kind of missiles that can hit targets, such as st. petersburg or moscow or other large cities remote from ukraine. these are not the kind of missiles that can be used across russia, but it was a lot of my boots and had previously warned back in september, the s a nato state watch went out here to strike deep into russia, an appropriate response followed. now, requirements folks, boston has doubled down, saying that if you prayed rems office and we saw this hot nato countries would be held directly, this one detroit and then i'll shoot you. the strikes are not carried out by ukraine. these strikes are carried out by those countries that give permission, targeting and other services are not carried out by the ukrainian military. this is done by military specialists from the same western countries, and this fundamentally changes the modality of their involvement into conflict. this is the danger and publication of the situation more on this. so that's called

select international says on security on the smoke supposed to mot board great to get, you'll take. i mean it does feels like need novice. i think this does feel like it has a potential for great escalation. my question is, i want to start off with i was, why would be us not be admitting to whether it's signed off or not? it's never been coy about it supports the ukraine. so why is it starting to be point now as well? one of one of the reasons for that is certainly that this is creating a, a political tension and a question mark in the united states. we are technically in the transition period. power is shifting in the united states from one administration to another. and by all accounts, jo biden's administration is what is referred to in the united states political

lingo as a, as a lame duck. and this is a kind of unprecedented escalation during this time period of the transition that appears at least in part a specific we intended to further in twine the u. s. directly in the conflict in ukraine to make it more difficult for any uh, presumptive uh, trump administration measures uh to uh, either uh assign some tight area to finalize, some type of deal. uh to, to bring it towards a piece or, or even towards the escalation. so it, at least in part this is a direct if you want to say an attack on the trump administration by the, by an administration. um, secondly is i believe that the us of course,

would also prefer a certain element of surprise with these facts. um, russian air defense and electronic warfare missiles have developed a quite a profile of, of uh, the gps a signal targeting weapons that the u. s. has supplied the key of regime width. and certainly, the attack ends, at least according to the western me media are one of those. the effectiveness of the attack comes missiles has reduced significantly because russia, wherever it has electronic warfare and air defense assets is more likely than not able to intercept them. uh, so they would like to get a few shots in almost certainly before rush can react. i also want to get your take on the situation within the european blog because it

seems that that's a bit of fragmentation. when it comes to this move on, long range missile strikes, supports it as we have, for example, the job and for administer saying yes, it's a great idea. we fully support it. then we obviously have the slovak of feet, so i've no doubt that will bind and hungry will say that this is a huge error due to then from poland condemning soul speaking to parents. and i mean, it seems at best so much in fighting at the moment that they sense that it's difficult at this point to project a united front against most go. so there's, there's no question that there's a great deal of political turmoil in individual e u. member states, germany has a government that is about to collapse and um is one step away from a vote of new confidence and presumed snap elections in the country. with the collapse of all life. schultz traffic light coalition cron is in a state of france's got

a state of political paralysis between the prime minister and, and the opposition dominated the parliament. and we see similar political chaos in a lot of other countries. and this is, of course, intensified by the fact that we have a re, a returning trump administration now, which most of the u. member states leadership have a great deal of both trepidation and actual antagonism towards this was not the outcome of that they wanted at the same time. actual opposition within the you. we have to keep this in perspective when we're talking about robert fits. so in slovakia and victor or bon lead hungry, they are a minority, they are an extreme minority expressing opposition. they are the black sheep of the european family. as far as the current crop of

e u leadership and foreign policy elite, there is over whelming support for this. the even amount of joy is being x express and the by the administration has finally come around, even if it's on its way out the door as it does so they have long wanted this because this gives them further room in which to act. and they also understand that it's, in some ways, at least an attempt at a further trump proofing measure to make sure that the conflict in ukraine continues. it. you know, i say what might come as a surprise to some, is this move precisely because of what's a proceed to that? i don't know whether you've also been getting this take the, what piece has been bonded around so much more in the last few weeks. then it has in the almost 3 years since the conflict started, i mean, even the landscape themselves coming out and saying the war needs to end by

diplomatic means. some say it's because he feels that trump coming in, we'll stop his minute tree efforts. is this surprising then just as this idea of a diplomatic solution installed, gaining ground in political cycles in the major as well? we come out and we see what potentially could be the most dramatic moment of western support. seen ukraine so far. i mean, yeah, there is a certain amount of that, right? it's certainly taken on a new level in the narrative, in the western media at least largely because of, of as, as a result of the campaign. rhetoric of the us president elect donald trump. although we have really not heard that much from him, from, from his campaign, promises to, to get a deal to bring peace within 24 hours and so forth. we haven't heard much since, you know, the, the actual election. of course, you know, the, there is

a matter of the electoral college voting and the verification of the results and then the actual naga ration in january and so forth. but we have to, uh, you know, keep all of that in perspective because the one thing that is not happening is there's still no discussion with russia. russia isn't talking about peace. russia isn't interested in peace at this moment when it's winning decisively on the battlefield. except on its own, specifically expressed terms. so in, in a way, if this is not a military act, because the pentagon has made clear that they are against this, that this will have no significant battle field results. it's not going to change the course of the conflict. they did not want to do this. they want to keep these missiles for a, an upcoming war with china, which they feel they have a missile gap. they, they did not want to do that. this is a political act,

and it almost seems more politically directed at the trump administration at forces within the west, then it is against russia. russia is kind of on the outside of this saying hello, you're about to fire missiles. that is because russia is made clear that this is an active direct war pollutant, has, has made a very specific the, the detail that these missiles has to be fired by western specialists. right? if 1st of all, the satellite data, but the actual coding in all the firing sequence, the fire is a targeting, it has to be done with certain proprietary classified software that there is no way that this would be shared with the key every game. and it's not just the u. s. o, off shows the german chancellor has been very clear about this when, for instance, the british and the french fire, their storm shadow and scouts cruise missiles. there has to be representative

specialist of their military actually inputting the targeting data into these weapons in effect firing it. so this would be not really the us allowing bite and allowing the virginia be ministration to fire missiles into russia. this will be the united states firing missiles into russian territory. that's the way the russian government sees this lock giving us the birth. so kind of insight and reality of what thought move wouldn't as well as will that in fighting in the us. because trump struck, bring any piece plans that we always appreciated, that was that mock subaru to international size and security on this. thank you very much. thanks for having while i'm on the grubbing voice is all kind of fun. china, which has spoken out against a potential escalation of the conflict to the windshield too long. i would like to reaffirm that a new crane crisis. china upholds an objective in just position and has actively promoted peace talks,

which stands in sharp contrast with certain countries who apply double standards and keep adding fuel to the fire on ukraine crisis. something built? well china, it just stating the obvious. i mean us has being are choosing bay gene of supply so called d. ready use items to russia when they're just a normal trait relationship. yet, here we are, us as authorized, long ranged american missiles to be used against russia, and we all know those uh, those people who are operating american missiles, those people with selecting targets based on american visa, american supply, satellite intelligence. this person else won't be americans as the only ukranian they'll be american. so this is a ward that us is wage on russia. i those big guys a lot and i put in would have changed his position, didn't matter of money on like that might buy and actually went out publicly said he is a dentist of, uh,

authorizing deeds or striking to russia. we use american missiles, but now the reverse that to after losing a election. this is a, this is a tragedy of the, the comic tragedy of american system. biden is basically setting up a poison pill for the incoming trump presidency. trump said he wanted to end the world in ukraine, might and just locked the ad to and he's bringing literally bring us closer to world war 3 on his way out. the hope francis has raised concerns that his role is committing genocide against the palestinian people. that's according to what subs from an upcoming book by the head of the catholic church. according to some experts, what is happening in gaza has the characteristics of a genocide. we should investigate carefully to determine whether it fits into the technical definition formulated by jurists and international bodies. a recent

report by the united nations has accused his route of blocking 8 supplies to the golf strip with the explicit intent of inflicting stalled ation. as a weapon over through it's cj, i have a gaza obstruction of humanitarian aid alongside targeted attacks and killing of civilians. and 8 workers, despite repeated un appeals binding orders from the international court of justice and resolutions of the security council. israel is intentionally causing death, starvation, and serious injury using starvation as a method of war and inflicting collective punishment on the palestinian population . meantime, 7 to 2 people were killed and thousands more wounded. and an idea of strike on the, in the north of acosta on sunday mazda, according to local forties, and total about $100.00 kind of students, i believe the top floor that lives in is where you get tax throughout the region on just that one single day so, meanwhile, is or all students to sol,

i'm talking the 5 ministration over in washington when it's denounced view. and accusations is basically nonsense, nothing to say here. so they say as it relates to the un commission, i've seen some of that reporting. and then, you know, we've seen some language coming out of that indicative of their belief that some of the actions could be constituted as this, as they are phrasing genocide. that is something we would uh, unequivocally disagree with. again, we think that that kind of raising and those kinds of accurate accusations are certainly and founded for joining me now to be trained to be honest spokes person for thoughts as were formed as democratic up fine fox and a welcome to this mondays program on the 1st thing i want to speak about put francis on those words to us according for an investigation and potential genocide says that needs to be taken seriously. is this impulse and in the long run when it

comes to the palestinian cause? yeah, of course it's important, but it's not enough. i mean this is, comes from a major authority more authority in the world and you should be more decisive, more swift without any political strings attached to his position. on the obviously genocide being committed by the state of israel in gaza. the committees is specific . i mean especially last communities in the united nations. the human rights groups in organizations around the. busy world, even the i c g, everybody calls it the genocide and what we expected from the phone now hundreds of days ago, that it's, it condemned genocide and just stopped. so our hopes for what the book, the books position as the more more authority that here presents should have been much more decisive,

much more earlier and straight to the point with no political as soon as they passed. well, i did want to ask you, i mean that you of the same listed, a significant number of like you said, was about the i've seen cha, properties, most significant state websites. you know, the you, when aid organizations talking about how there are a serious issues on the ground when it comes to is right, the military behavior that someone said, yes, it looks like genocide. i mean put prompts. this is just the latest voice. so in light of how many people have already come out, what's your assessment of the role of international organizations and how they've so far protected, protest in human rights. the roll over the national organizations have been positive all the long since the establishment of the state of israel, upon the genocide and the ethnic, cleansing it the design, his games have committed to allow for that to establish, rebuild the state. so all along these organizations have been witnessing,

i've been calling out is really war crimes the but unfortunately the world doesn't run by human rights organizations or, and organizations, or even the, the po, uh, or the united nations are ones with it. got with, with the countries with special interest groups within these countries, namely the united states of america and now more recently. and it dictates what's right and what's wrong. and obviously for the, the, the mentally demented white house. i don't the white house for president by that at this point. it doesn't look at that. he sees it as genocide and that promoted him to become complicit in the war crimes being committed. mean guy is a so yes, we appreciate the, the world stands with us and we can see this from the, it all the, the votes in the united nations that are on the side of the city

cause being space with the us veto all along, all these years not only now and, and the, the united states, unfortunately, is the one with the upper hand being the most powerful country in the war. but unless the united states changes its position to more, the human is dick and adhering position to international law atrocities. not only in palestine, but this sets a precedent for genocide to take place in other places without any with impunity unless it didn't predict the inter is of the united states of america and then it will become a problem. so we live in a world today. unfortunately, where the united states dictates what's genocide and what's not and who can commit well crimes and who cannot. and this is not a work order that the wind has come,

come together to build after world war 2. but it's more like the chaos that was received, the world war 2. well, it will be very interesting. we talked about the un report, nice, 45000, that the number of probably going to the hundreds of thousands ones, but he's pulled up from one to the russell. the question one always wants to of all says, when will it be quote enough people to say enough is enough to be trained to be honest, folks, personal factors were formless democratic functions. always a pleasure, i'll be on the program. thanks very much. your time is for well that's uh head over to southern loveland from the meant what 2 people have been killed in the city over know by to. yeah, that's off to an idea of strike according to local authorities. so these images here also today thing on social media, they show lodge up, seems to smoke right off to the attack. we do understand the medical clinic and

several residential apartments have been done. but we also know that the 11 is taffeta was hit 3 times on sunday. all tease, favorite based correspondence. steve sweeney visited the site of one of the latest attacks. what you can see behind me is the ultimate says, the like jesus righty. strikes here in central pay root this is the ma at is area. this is a commercial district, a very busy paul of the city and it's all stuck around 8 pm last night without warning. it struck other electrical soul and a call at least 2 people. we know now were killed and many more wounded. according to israel, they were targeting a husband. i'll come on the, there's no confirmation of the as yet. this was the 2nd strike in the central by root. earlier on sunday is well targeted. again, without warning, the headquarters of the syrian boss salty. they killed the head of the husband,

all media um pressed it pop, and mohammed a fee for this again, was in a residential area. we know now according to the liberties health industry. these 4 people were killed and many more wounded in that strike. also the attacks now which will come into the hall to favorites, obstruct uh, into the host of the people. now, not knowing when or even where it is, where i will strike the education ministry. well as it for co 3 measure, its close schools across the lebanese capital for the next 2. a days now, again, the southern suburbs of favorable, they were heavy pounded again. yesterday, residential buildings, civilian buildings destroyed. we saw the total destruction of an apartment very close to recent. georgia is also in the how about the region for the 1st time as well has expanded outside of the my target. so once the areas targeted on sunday was i chris getting area of this. we saw the rigging of just bells and gums shots

being fired into the people to the like jesus righty, folding. now the us envoy to elaborate on a multiple sides what he's due to arrive in the capital tomorrow for told around a potential safe spot. there is some to be them in some come so this could see successful. well, the more cautious thinking about the don't keep them as being present. it seems too much to as well. and on top of the box as well, seems to be reluctant to see see aggression with the, the defense and the new defense. what is the, is all costs announcing the expansion of ground operations in southern lebanon hunting fund. moving out, i see 5 on finally the e. u has expanded its sanctions against it wrong this time on allocations that it has provided minute treat support to russia. the council today decided to widen the scope of the you framework for restrictive measures in view of

a ron's military support of rushes, war of aggression against ukraine, and 2 armed groups and entities in the middle east and the red sea region. this additional measure is targeted to the use of vessels and ports for the transfer of iranian made the unmanned aerial vehicles, missiles, and related technologies and components. it looks like b, u has wrapped up it's worries about ending the conflict in ukraine. and the only thing left on its agenda is slapping more sanctions on juan based on claims that even ukraine has doubted. of course, uh the new sanctions. now i include a ban on exporting components used in missile and you, a redevelopment from the you to iran. they've also put his comp on a 2 transactions involving ports, link to individuals or entities on the sanctions less. now, what the, the west seems to enjoy sanctioning, give on the country, has recently been speaking up about the detrimental impact of these restrictions. the bonds stating that always the west owes them

a whopping one trillion dollars for entering their growth over the past 25 years. in the united states must compensate to run one trillion dollars for the fact that for 25 years, they did not allow the islamic republic to develop to, to sanctions. of course sanctions are no strangers to have on the west side started the imposing unilateral sanctions right after these a lot of trouble, lucian toppled the sha fast forward to 2018 former us president. donald trump pulled out of the deal and we stated sanctions on iran, which are still in force. then washington post on war sanctions after 2022, citing alleged military ties with one shot. just recently, i'd be joined to any imposing sanctions on here on air and others for suppose missile transferred to a restaurant, but hold on ukraine's president zalinski himself, clarified that one hasn't sent any ballistic missiles to a restaurant. you persist in targeting iranian airlines. and now, even they're shipping lies vanya and foreign minister, a boss r t r,

we simply not took to x, and he called down to what he described as unfair pressure tactics. so highlighting the lack of legal and are rushing out behind this behavior. president zalinski himself has confirmed that no a rainy and ballistic missiles have been delivered to russia, yet the refuses to reverse its indiscriminate targeting of air travelers by going after a rainy and airlines, a measure extensively motivated by our non existent missile deliveries to russia. now, the you is using the same non existent missile pretext to also target our shipping lines. there is no legal, logical, or moral basis for such behavior. now, i'm it all this iranian foreign minister said the new european measures violate the control principle of freedom of navigation in international waters. he said this is a selective approach that can backfire at them. and can we do on intended
