this was on the, in the headlines here without you international, the russian defense ministry says it's taken out an entire group of ukrainian armed forces that was installed in the quote of the region by side to the operation. to remove all of the troops from ruptures. borderline containing, despite being a member of nato, ein career says it's american ally is responsible for taking the wills with it brings up a quote. great. so if he's president 5, is washington's decision to give key a permission to use long range resolves to attack russia. i talked about doubling style and on escalation, petro biden's time is running out. he's not reportedly approved supplying the entity personnel align minds to your grades are doing is post policy and just adding more fuel to the 5,

the right live and worldwide real top stories lined up and firing off right now who are not so the russian, that ministry of defense has announced that his basically taken out an entire group of ukrainian armed forces. it was in so cold in the quarter region, the m o d added a just over the past 24 hours k f as lost, more than 400 troops. a numerous almond vehicles, the local governor rep. ready as the 2 missiles fired from ukraine had been intercepted by russian defences, off of the us draw it's long range limitations for ki, have. let's get some more details right now with a senior correspondent. well, misfortune continues to dog ukrainian ministry all through it schools in caution. now we have the ministry of defense of the russian federation coming up and say that they have destroyed this group of ukrainian uh, troops that uh, initially

a month ago, 2000 glad to be approved and said, uh said so himself, virtually surrounded who they had be when he passed out with the uh, with the car door was wide as 2 fields. that's about seats for 2000 people and evidently that cargo was down hill. i know it's hillary range and ought to be firing ridge. essentially. they will ground down, there were about a 1000 left as of a week ago and they were destroyed. surely small groups managed to get out 56 people here with with losses. but the. busy the most of the group, the cars you, the 1000 men that ukraine had in was go, roy ship, have been destroyed according to the russian ministry of defense. this is, in addition to the daily daily destruction of various vehicles, ahmed personnel,

carriers tags, leopards abrams tags, ukraine has thrust its, its best, the finest its move capable units into the course greeted and many of the, including the board troops, elite troops, and already discussed what all she says, and so these, these will hook over all the russians could ration says that's moving full 100 credit troops were killed in the course region, a low alone over the past 24 hours, which is about average for was up to the lowest as the 2 credit intakes uh in that region. uh, overall, $35000.00 troops, great in to have either been killed or or incapacitated to the degree that they will fight again during the pricing of the course region since may this year overall on the front line in the don't boss ends up models you of the trend

continues whereby ukraine is slowly hemorrhaging territory. it is suffering more and more losses. and there is now to come on, you credit. the russia is prepared. fresh, offensive. inseparable is. yeah. i'm kind of the regions i'm assigning the night a block is fractured over its backing of ukraine. that size a total key. i blasted washington's decision to find the flames of will by giving key permission to use america's missed all systems to strike inside russia. ridge, a pilot are the ones that may trigger a great world. well. first and foremost, we did not consider either right decision nor do we approve of it. the step taken by mister biting will be interpreted as a move to fuel the war to ensure it never ends, or even to spread it. this could bring the region and the world to the brink of a great war. we do understand the uncles position regarding this conflict with the associates position with the nato itself. has always been

a balancing act. and we've been observing this at least for many long years and at least within the current cycle. and we understand that uncle, this position with respect to the nato, will lions supply weapons to the, to ukraine, especially to use and attacks against russia within its own boy borders and territories. disconcerting on to the, for the most part, we understand uncles is position of course, to an extent is neutral, but as always, emphasizes the importance of turkey as a state, particularly bordering russia, which is why it's calls for some sort of leading and see with respect to turkey or russian relations, something that the nato block, as well as nato allies, such as the united states, the united kingdom haven't quite vocal about protesting, in a sense, posing opposition to the target state was. i'm going to suggest that its position is one that is to ensure that the conflict of course comes to an end, but more so that clear heads paved the way for some form of a solution. the heads that at least kick taking into consideration that developed

in some of the past week or so suggests that nato was not interested in the escalating ongoing situation. we understand that the decision or the statement made by the church present also suggests on to is more interested in ensuring that it takes the mediating roles and that it has some sort of track record in doing so. we also understand that the opposition that the track of state is taking with respect to nato's approach to russia is not necessarily one that is avoid of any interest as well. because one thing that we do understand is, of course, we understand that the nato alliance did provides ukraine with long range missile capabilities. but one thing that's a bit of an issue is we understand that these missile systems also have a great deal of sensitive encrypted cryptology that is imbedded in the guidance systems of these war has and layman's terms. that essentially means that ukraine cannot fire missile targeting russian targets within the country. i'm, as the united states is directly involved in these kinds of miss, always use cryptic messages and data to upload them onto the warheads. as well as

there's another to another state which requires the us to be involved in ensuring that the payload is delivered. so from, from starting to end, the us isn't one way or the other complicit in these attacks to say that assist ukraine attacking rush at this point is an understatement. and this is why the russian federation decided it was a good time and a good idea to ensure that it renewed its doctrines with respect to the use of nuclear force. and it seems that the only voice within nato seems to be that of the turkish side. and we understand that the church present also suggests that the russian federation is doing so in an act to defend itself. the church present was quite vocal in bush's position, as well as on could his position and very briefly assistant to the church. presence of the 220 senate prussia must have and still has the opportunity to defend itself and take measures to protect itself as it had to take these measures. just as we

need to countries must defend ourselves and take steps to do so. and so despite the rhetoric, we understand that his position is that which would ensure that the conflict comes to an end. we can understand that the russian federations decision to renew its nuclear doctrines in one way or the other, a very open signal and communication, suggesting that this conflict can come to an end, as long as there is no other direct involvement of states like the united states or the united kingdom, who has also been quite vocal and supporting ukraine throughout this. but what we do understand is there are still some clear headed voices that are calling to de escalate the situation we understand and to this position is doing just that. we also understand that the rhetoric used by the church president is also a job at the beta lions, as well as the united nations. and one sense of the word that saying that russia has the right to defend himself is essentially in line with what the nato alliance or what the united nations has been advocating for israel in its own slot and gaza . not to be compared, but we do understand that this is also

a matter that the turkish present takes closer to heart. and that the rhetoric that is issued by uncut is one way or the other, a protest against the group of the large abrupt blog. but more importantly, it's also being in a position to provide leniency as well as mediation efforts between russia and ukraine. so these are of course documents that have been margie ignored by the nato alliance, which also carries the risk of further conflicts. something that on color is not interested in at this time. because that correspondent mentioned russia ratified. it's a updated nuclear doctorate on tuesday. a focus on to terrence and i'll states that an attack by any member of a block well means a collective attack by the entire group of the document that allows most go to respond to any large scale attack on his soil. even if it's only a conventional weapons that are being used, dr. and covers its neighbor and i bet a roost with the same protectionist measures as well. now it comes as the russian defense ministry, confirm ukraine, use the american to attack them in a stripe on russia's,

but against region. a 5 of the 6 miss honest with down one was damage and rushers for a minute. so, so got off or off. so it's, that's a clear sign of washington is looking to escalate shipping, which is the fact that the attack comes was used for busily last night in the bronze region is of course a signal that they want escalation and with all the americans, it is impossible to use these high tech me styles, but it has spoken about this many times. he warned about how our position would change if the range they are now discussing. up to 300 kilometers has been approved . but in fact, this is not approval for ukraine to use long ranch me styles. this is simply an announcement that we will now strike at up to 300 kilometers. i mean, the escalation has some world leaders are genuinely concerned with the car in boston, south africa's president is urging for peace negotiations to take place around and the issue of utilizing a few of us. yeah,

it's something that might be seen as columbia just for all of us load and also the used to offer, utilizing long range me size and so forth. so it just means that this country is escalate into a very dangerous level and therefore requires good because we've been calling for the sacrament of this country to negotiation. well, that's what the doctors think about what the respondents will be to allowing these long reg strikes the u. s. embassy in kia along with the one from spain, italy in greece of clothes, that there was a warning of a possible incoming attack. this wednesday of the embassies advising the citizens to be prepared to take immediate shelter in the event of an air raid a load. well russia's deputy un representative of dimitri polly. and he told us that washington was simply trying to conceal its direct involvement in the strikes against the russian federation. i think this once to put them to the shadow,

the reality. the fact that if such kinds of weapons is being used, it means that it is being used with the help of need. so because it's not possible for you creating a loan to determine the targets a long shot these so this new style is from a knowledge and it was repeatedly acknowledged by ukrainians on where somebody shows themselves. it seems that the there is a stripe, it's not the only ukrainian stripe, it's a strike of some of these accounts. we always do find it. so united states, and in the case of that that comes, i think that the west is, is it, is it tell us what to do right now because their project defend tiasha. uh you agree is, uh, is losing, its quite ugly is losing me literally whatever west is trying to do to support it is losing found is objective reality and they don't know what to do right now. that's why they try it to, to reformulate their aims. effect 1st, it was defeating russia,

inflicting strategic defeats on the rush. i'm now it's great and favorable. negotiate of conditions for ukraine. meanwhile, depending on how to down play the significance of allowing key to carry out long range strikes with its miss aisles on russian church or the trump is one big license a day to the level 3 than any other time. such a piggyback and somebody other questions because they like, why con, defend to come in public say on this monumental decision is there's no, there's no big story. and then you know that the use of american weapons to strike inside russia and saying, we don't have anything to announce today. it seems to be touching the, you know, that the edison in the room, which is, you know, which is best buy. why don't we, what can we get something from? yeah, do i, i understand that frustration, tom, look, i, and i said, you know, if we have more to share publicly, we will. but at this time, i just don't have anything more to share in terms of the comments on, you know,

an escalation and the larger war. we don't share that. what we, what we do believe is that russia has escalated this war with bringing in your over 11000 dpr k soldiers into the fight. and a commitment from his administration is to continue to arm ukraine with what it needs on the battlefield. we don't see that as escal atory, we see that as a commitment that we set out from the very beginning of this administration. certainly seems, i bide no ditch to reason as he heads for the door after a poorly allowing key to use american attack comes to strike inside russian territory. the outgoing american present, it is now said to have approve supplying i didn't see personnel land mines to key as well. the crane, the problem is a, is a part of the un also a convention. so the use of such and t posted on mines goes against international law, or well as drawing out a guest and take this conversation further. now, for my us all mean non commissioned officer thomas pen, not joining us here live on, on the international and very well welcome to you. it's always good to get you back on this program with somebody before we go any further. i just want to have

a look at some of the u. k. tabloids, the reporting this is all on confirm that there are reports that t f as long as the british storm shadow missed. i was deep at the roster for the 1st time. must go to almost has not confirm this. i'm not even going to mention the names of these u. k top boys that so sort of drivel and we've got 0 confirmation of this, but they say up to 12 storm shadow ms. osborne launched from you training and ad croft into the quarter screeching again. unconfirmed, but the media is still pushing at thomas. you'll feel it's interesting. i've also just seen the reports they just came in uh just a few minutes ago actually. um, yeah, it's hard to say right now, i mean it all the, all the, the, the, the, with the western, the big question h c. c, that be picking up the story now. but the reference has not confirmed it yet, so we'll wait to see what becomes of it. but yeah, i mean, in light of the events of the past, you know, 48 hours. i mean, i wouldn't count it. you know,

count it out. yeah. yeah. i hear you that's almost main time bite and who was once a labeled, i'm the post and l line minds a he's, he's been out and see these things. he's called a use of such things as reckless. he's not authorized, dependent on to send them to ukraine. this is a shift in us policy is also potentially a violation of some conventions as well. does that make it complicit in any way to boil crimes? because apparently the use of these weapons is a violation of b u. n. also a convention. yeah, as far as i know, the united states and then hopefully rusher or another or party to a treaty, ukraine for it's part of, i mean they're sending these, these uh, you know, personal landlines. you know, for people that don't know, that's a mind you step on and it explodes, kills you. yeah, i mean for, for it, it's really a great sign of desperation on the part of the united states at washington to do, i mean, to try to stop this advance. i mean, militarily, russia, despite all,

has been thrown out there the, the military victory will, you know, belong to russia the end of the day. but now it just seems as if it's one more attempt to, you know, a desperate attempt to slow down the russian advance. yeah. well, i mean somebody, they, they basically have very little little luck in trying to slow down the russian of all. and so, i mean, it was pretty bucks for the past one year or more. i mean, you go back to the last. so gold spring offensive all summer offensive and yet, and yeah, the roots of photo because the western media and political landscape, they're always saying that the russians last, $700000.00 soldiers uprooted and got close rushes, collapsing is the end of the federation. and yet, the fact is the u. k in western capital, is that just so full of crap? it's hard to find any sense of truth them that talking about russia these days. meantime, let me ask you this of icons almost joseph burrell, that you, you god. and he said that you crane has become one of the most heavily mind places in the world. we're talking about land mines of an area of 4 times the size of

switzerland is now being mind. what is the future of the region? we look, i mean, se, asia thomas has been dealing with the problems of leftover mines for decades. innocent civilians are still losing limbs and so on. i mean, that's a, it's a huge problem. and i mean, there's a lot of talking about the mines is modern ones, the self disrupting, and they, they take themselves out after, you know, a certain period of time, the self destruct, to what extent them in the that, that they were reliable. it's hard to say, but i mean, we treated just a total total disaster here and ukraine and the, the efforts to which they've won. now, i mean the provoking russian this way, despite the, the, you know, the red line that the, the russian presents laid out. and that the, you know, russian government is laid out is made so inflammatory that bad. it's so reckless and so out of control that it's hard, it's hard to even, you know, maintain that kind of the 2 main to,

to maintain call when they even discussing it. because it's just so infuriating to the playoffs. yeah. yeah. and when i was gonna say, yeah, i mean, obviously the, the american election, the other day, this big red way you, you know, basically people voting and see war and pro peace. and as trump, who's been saying for weeks and months, we're gonna result the companies in ukraine really, really quickly. and then suddenly, in the last less than 2 months of the buying white house that tried to escalate, i mean, how is that possible? yeah, these are really interesting development. somebody knows that you just mentioned trump, i just don't see a trump is a big game change. you know, he did, he did talk a big game, he talks pace, but essentially he's confronted with the same things that the biden ministration decade i've been confronted with. i mean, really, what we're talking about is it is a, is a, is a major geo political development. i mean, we're talking about the dollar as ation. united, united states derived all of its power from the dollar. and its status is, you know, the world reserve currency, there's so much in nursing. i mean we're, we all got to run these massive deficits based on that status. we have the print

money and export inflation to the rest of the world based on that status. and all the inertia behind it, you know, that's it, push trump in the same direction that it's pushed by. and i just don't see how he comes to power and waves and magic want. and you know, that's, you know, the, the end of this conflict, the, it's, something's been set into motion that you don't just, you know, one man doesn't come to power and then just, you know, with snaps fingers and change it. and the, the fact that he has yet to even comment on, you know, biden's escalation here is, is quite towing in and of itself. i think so. we wait to see hopefully it's not, but i think it's like telling yeah what, what i've just been before that you've got to tell me just quickly. i want you to have a quick listen to, to the stipend by american john based on glen beck and make sure you got your volume up haven't listen to this. how many times have this guy given us a red line? and said, don't cross this, or it will be world war 3, and we've crossed it every single time. we all have entered

a moment of madness. what joe biden did, is him p triple. cool launches. 62 days before you're out of the office. yeah, quite strong. come on said so much. you've only got 30 seconds made. he's saying biden is doing it in a teachable offense. i don't know your thoughts terms of being an impeachable. i mean, i don't even know 5000000 charge. i mean, literally he's got the cognitive decline has been, uh, i mean it's been obvious for 4 years now. if any, you know, and even the casual observer and who knows who we think it's pulling the strings there to be honest. um, i don't think it's binding. uh yeah, i know you may be signing off on it, but he, uh um, it's just completely reckless the and the entire establishment. washington is

completely out of control. i mean, at this point and whether, whether trump can, can change that. i, i, you know, i have my doubts, but we'll see how it plays out. yeah. and a thomas plan is a former us, i mean, non commissioned officer joining us live on a how to international really appreciate your commentary, thomas. thank you very much. thanks. thank you. thank you. as are shifting over to syria. we go now here on the program, at least so he's 6 people killed 50 more. wooded is railey strike on the central city of palmera. that's according to the local authorities, residential buildings, an industrial area where effective reader reports that israel was targeting a militant groups to post a link to iran for those reported to kill that were described in news reports as in search. and meanwhile, israel is offering $5000000.00 to anyone from guys that we safely with tons of hostage from most captivity fremont. it doesn't even, you know,

made that statement while visiting the was on earlier this week. i know it's, it's whoever brings us a hostage will find a safe path, but he and his family to get out, we will give a reward of $5000000.00 for each hostage choose the choice is yours, but the result will be the same, will get the old, back in the 12 visits in guy's arms and it on the apple claims that israel is doing everything possible to bring home the hostages. both the living and the dad. he even addressed the captors directly warning that israel will pursue and get anyone who harms the optic to use. and once again, because we heard about that before, he offered f. $5000000.00 rewards to anyone in gaza, who helps return the captives with promises of safe passage for those who call parade in the same page and intern yahoo! double down vowing that time us would never rule the street any more and move that could be seen as a tactic to pressure the militant group and push those,

holding the hostages to take a deal before it's too late. let's take a listen. i'm us. how mazda is not real garza, we are depleting its military capabilities in a very impressive way. we are moving towards its administrative cool. so that how mosse will not be in gaza? we will not give up on this mission while nathan. yeah. who has been posting the hostages prong consent 30 his speech is recently, but critics say it's just a way to deflect blame on monday. he hopes he told the connects that these really parliament. but afterwards to release the captive, haven't stopped for a moment speaking directly to the families sitting in the gallery at that time. yet behind the scenes, a slightly different picture is emerge in his really media reports that nathan yahoo and newly appointed defense minister vista cath recently rejected proposals from the road to go staging team, including the chief all is really secret service massage to expend. israel's turns for a deal negotiators, we pulled the warrant that without most flexibility,

no agreement would be possible with them. yeah, was office has denied these claims, calling them biased leads a pressure in israel into agreeing to have masses terms. but the public, especially the fact families of the captives who have been taken to the streets of his really cities weekly to fence their frustration and anger remained rather skeptical. let's take commission b, b, b, b. prove that you are a leader. prove that you are worthy make a deal now until you do this. you will be remembered for all eternity as a person, not a leader who sacrifice the lives of hostages is rarely citizens and foreign citizens in exchange for your seat. i call on you leave those of the world president by then and president elect trump done give up on the us to just go children. their parents and 9 be 7 other hostages, a way seemed to be safe,

to be brought to back home to the families. and to my governments, i say, i'll be in favor of our future. and i cannot imagine what the future will look like if we failed to bring them home. this all comes of to cat car, a key mediator stepped back from hosted steel and seize 5 talks and reportedly us senior mosque leaders to leave the country. and with negotiations that basically stalled many seen it, india has public remarks, has an effort to save face and meet accusations that he's the one to railing progress. how will this affect the fate of the hostages while the clock is ticking? while we will have to wait and see. all right, let's cross a lot now to gill digman because nobody has really hostage that was tragically killed gill. i'm really grateful to get you on the program. i'm very grateful for your time as well. you, you heard the report back from our middle east bureau chief. i just,

i mean deal just straight out my how do you feel about the probably ministers offer a 5000000 bucks for hostages in light of your family's loss? oh, well, 1st of all that let me say then come as my cousin was murdered in captivity, which is something that when you think about it, it's, it's so hard brenda's to be a woman in captivity, who have survived for 11 months and then to be murdered. by these terrorists, it's just unthinkable right now to speak about $5000000.00 or this amount of money or that amount of money. i don't think that's going to settle this whole be because we're speaking about a 101 hostages. that might be a solution or a few hostages. but what's, what, what's and what's important is the lives of all the hostages. and i called upon the leaders of all the world, the, the, the leaders of the united states, the new leader, trump, and put in the leader of russia. and the leaders of guitar. and of egypt and of

israel, all of them, this is a crime against humanity being committed towards the hostages that are there money will not solve it, only a deal will solve it. and i really hope that right now, trump, which is he, he crafted the art of the deal, will be able to put a deal on the table, like nobody else can. and to finally put an end to this, he is the only one together with put in maybe we can make both is read and come us sign this deal and get this over with so we can get all the houses back. oh yeah, i mean, well said may as long overdue, if for this to be pro a to a rapid peaceful conclusion, what do you think deal? i mean, did you think of financial incentives like this by offering 5000000 bucks for for the return of hostages? you think it's an effective method? well, this is, for me, it's strange to put such a price tag on the lives of people. and this is also,

this also could be dangerous for their lives because people like going to try and, you know, manipulate this in many ways. and i don't think this is the solution. i think the solution is a deal that was on the table for a very long time. a deal that we'll probably we will have to do to change the way we act in gaza to put an end to this war. and to release some of the prisoners on the is very side. and those have been negotiations about this when you put again the issue of money on the table. for me, i'm afraid it is a way of looking away from the only solution that there is. and the only thing that will put an end to this tragedy is a deal that will include the ending, this war, a swap of prisoners and hostages. and probably that's the only thing that we can do . i tell you, you mentioned that i'm going to go that it should be changed the way israel acts in gaza. you just set that to me. what do you mean by that when you change the way

israel acts in gaza as well? we've been saying for a very long time that israel's military activity puts up, puts the lives of the hostages in danger. and we've been trying to say that for a very long time. and you know, i just saw video of myself from one year ago. comment was a live and her sister in law, y'all been was still in captivity since then. you know, ben was released and she's now back home with her family. thanks to a deal. co med stayed behind and was murdered because there was a military activity right near the place where she was taken. so it's very clear for me what we need to do. but what that, what the people of israel believe and what is that the soldiers are going with and fighting for the life of the hostages. that's what they're fighting for. so if there is a, there is an opportunity and there is an opportunity to get.
