ministration reportedly twice to squeeze out another $24000000000.00 from concourse defense on the ukraine conflict despite the whole. so in game majority of americans are again, sending both military aids to clear the and very well welcome to this is on the international with the late as well as news update, as always is great to have you with us. our top story, this, our in syria several is limits. terrorist groups. hi lois, a launch scale offensive games. the government's forces in the left, the province, a staging base belonging to the syrian army west of alaska has report to be being captured by the i'll call you to affiliated, to read all some function to a nearby town symbols and folded into the hands of melissa in the summer for say, the major safety of our coats, the west of a less has,

has also been see me while syria in the military will play is continuous here, withheld. this has supposed indicate they struck multiple targets, destroying militant vehicles and killing sciences. we discussed the unfolding situation with vanessa bailey, on investigative journalist based in demos rather than those areas actually pulling into the hands of the service. the syrian army has those as done with it often does in these situations, it's withdrawn from those areas to avoid excessive casualties. allow the terrorists to basically consumer it into that area before the counter attack. people are telling man a lot, posit the sounds they've been hearing. i've reminded some of the more days in alaska. so that's a significant we've also been hearing for some time about the potential for and i'll call you to a high attorney armstrong that's like now being re,

brenda. major attack, we know is that from russian intelligence, particularly that there have been ukranian, special forces and military and intelligence operative in helping her as the 2 on themselves and 6 as have for a major offensive. and of course, the timing is very important at 4 am. today's receipts for our 10 minutes between 11 and try to use this. the fire for i on israel bombs, multiple borders between 11 and syria. at the same time, of course, israel has historically supported attacks by the terrorist groups in the northwest and in central syria, for example, isis. very recently, israel bombarded headquarters for the extended re forces that had been the day before combating an ice. this advance from the american base of deltona from the

border with jordan. so the timing thing is, i think very important of this attack. i think syria now will be the focus of attacks 5 by israel and by the tyra's forces still embedded in syria. but so far, um panic over and it's under control and i i'm being told within the next few days they will be pushed out of the areas that they've managed to keep ice. russian forces are advancing in ukraine is the fastest rates in the early days of the conflict. taking an area off the size of london over the past months, as, according to some estimates on those $235.00 square kilometres has been secured over the past week. across the front lines. this map shows the territories the russian army has taken along with some major towns. meanwhile,

the vines administration has reported the us congress with $24000000000.00 more to be spent. all the ukraine conflicts us despite the majority of americans disapproving that further tax dollars be sent to kids. to use that senior correspondent markdowns the reports a would you or button administration that seems is the tub and to leave it's muck even officer is is long gone. joe biden tabula harrison and the policies now they are uh they are requesting an additional $24000000000.00. see the age for you quite a bit. all fast would be as direct aid. so in terms of weapons in terms of money, well it's 16000000000 would go into replenishing stocks. what is already being sent to you? credit stocks and also rules in the united states itself. so money full of manufacturers. and this, of course,

slides with the face of what it is that the american people voted for. we must of course, remember that the jo button policies have been the job of the harris rival. these policies of continued age for ukraine was trump ronald, ending this conflicts as soon as possible, getting both sides to sit down, russia and ukraine, and what, who you as a deal to and the blood jet. the somebody will go a long way to making sure that these will persist, that this will goes on in the military. industrial complex gets its view, the american people, by the way, according to a, you got poll, 51 percent now started. the kids continued a few great and saying that they sees that the responsibility of the united states has no obligation to borrow more, more money against against the future. i think it's

a good future taxes. money that's good. a lot of the shoulders of future tax pays in order to supply ukraine with more mississauga. now these of course comes on the back of perhaps the biggest escalation in these conflicts so far, something that has shown it was the united states and this conflict that is lifting the restrictions on which starts with the american results deep into russia. we have seen at least 3 such strides for this bad of me a days in russia responding with the use of a hypersonic. me solve to strike after you create the military industrial plots saying that they who the message would be the entry the have of now the goal is in boxes called the russian government has promised a new response to joe biden, lifting those restrictions. a good russia has already responded saying that they

will take action and she is then yet across the front lives in the cities among the civilians in russia and internationally. people are waiting that response missiles, striking deep inside our nation's territory, have become an escal entry step. all our warnings that these unacceptable measures will be met with appropriate response have been ignored. in his televised address on november 21st president vladimir putin stated clearly, how will russia react to such steps? i am sure that everyone responsible for harming russian citizens and infrastructure will be justly punished. but the trend is, so it'd be there and this by the me, a weeks the by the administration is taking an unprecedented steps to which will avoid the police or whatever it is. the trump has applied to this is in an environment where you pay the lives of tumbling russian forces are drawn to

a sudden i get on scene rates 250 square columbus has taken over the past week a little the ukranian army showing its weakness in terms of manpower and terms of moves of ation in terms of the, on the guessing. and this is an attempt by the, by the administration to keep the plan that they haven't invested so much money in, in the game. and pushing against russia with outgoing president bond and posting for escalation, many uh, painting hopes onto folks 1st, both folks on donald trump. however, the us presidents likes peace making play just a now in doubt as he's nominated, several foreign policy holds for his upcoming administration. the republicans pick for accounts of terrorism director has said, washington will threaten most go with even more a to key of them by didn't, has been sunday and so bossy and go over the series on personal insults. and

blossom is who's in deer and gets hell, advise them to be a good one. tip away that the president has mentioned, he will say to that low risk form occasionally being cut or less fog who runs the russian federation. you will negotiate now for the aid that we have given to ukraine thus far, right will look like p knots. that's how he will force those gentlemen to come to an arrangement that stops the blood shirts. and gray zone has published is investigation and insight into sebastien. goals, the outlet stays the trump nominee, who has where is an anti communist activism. where sites by his experiences in british and military intelligence, particularly for his mentorship funds. i chris booley and office and notes for pushing tensions with most guy is connection not only influenced, missed a goal because career trajectory equal and think of a p h. the endorsement from donnelly, but also position time within then a so establishment. let's process live now to

a gray zone. edison knox blumenthal to discuss this further. many thanks for joining us. max is good to see. so intelligence officer, chris donnelly, as been a case vega reese, we stay in safe and go because korea could you shed some more lights on how the relationship might influence lucas stalls and policies regarding russia. so even before sebastian gorka came into contact with the british military intelligence officer, chris donnelly, who became his mentor, sebastian gorka was still in university in london, joined the intelligence unit of the british territorial army, and a conflicting accounts of his duties have emerged and didn't merge during a controversy in hungary, the country of course, as parents, when gorka was put forward for a parliamentary investigative committee to investigate a prime ministers passed in the communist party. largely because of course his own

allegations in hungarian media. but he was rejected by hunger as national security office for a security clearance he needed to serve on that committee because he was widely seen and hungry as a british intelligence figure. he goes on to forge this relationship. as you mentioned with chris donnelly, british military intelligence officer who endorsed his ph. d bases, which was if you read it, rather crew, put him forward for various conferences in the u. k. they served on panels together. gorka actually becomes the 1st one of the 1st tongue gary and peace fellows at nato and is trained through nato. and then goes on to a career in the united states as a right wing kind of pro trump operative and national security voice and maintains this whole relationship with chris donnelly, along the way,

which he's refused to address. and we've already had mistake. ok, take a rather aggressive stance on how trump plans to resolve the ukraine conflicts and that we were hoping for some type of normalization of ties between this or what do you make of such a tough token ultimatums to most good at this point as well. trump was elected along with his vice president j. d vance, with a promise to make peace between ukraine and russia and stop the bleeding of the american tax period. a few, a failing proxy war and entered cork, a someone who is connected, who is the under study of chris donnelly, whose entire mission through his secret integrity initiative propaganda network which we expose to the greys on was to in enhance and intensify conflict with russia. we've exposed cris donnelly, as someone who helped draw up the blueprints for the bombing of the kurtz bridge.

and gord that comes in warning that the trump administration will increase us taxpayer funding military aid for the failing, ukrainian war effort of putting doesn't do whatever trump wants. he's running around bragging about trump killing hundreds of wagner, group operatives in syria. and he sounds very much like the most hawkish voices in london, as he speaks with a cartoonish british accent while pledging maga loyalty. so it looks like you have another figure in the building who represents a view that is more in line with the anti trump turn coat, john bolton, and the deep state that donald trump ran against. then with the america 1st populace movement, the trump claims to represent which doesn't want to send billions and billions the most corrupt the country in europe. smacks many thanks for speaking to this today is always good to see you. we've been talking to grace or another, some knox blumenthal. thank you. thanks

a lot to 11 on now what i see is find between hezbollah and is while appears to be holding off to coming into force on wednesday morning. the news has some thousands of lebanese civilians rushing back to that homes, especially in the south of the country. i would look in concerns of hostilities may resume locals and they were so also were trying to areas they had to see earlier. people were seeing waving flags and celebrating the truce to sponsor destruction close to the city. sees correspondence. steve sweeney has sensors this report from one and stay works of the so without just entering the dia, district in the southern suburbs that they would, people are now starting to attend to their homes. we just passed through the check for the, the entrance of here, and we were kind of this lead slip by the lebanese army. this is a warning for people the i'm returning just to be mindful and i'm what child, unexploded bombs, you can see now the state of the destruction,

which is policy by shops here upon brooks. i've been completely destroyed as rubble everywhere. the sky to the disruption is really quite something to say, but now we're amongst a steady flow of traffic. people are making that way back to where that home is of what remained. of the homes, of course large numbers of these people's homes would have been destroyed, but people are now starting to return back. come up with both on it. bid i demand that the is really enemy fully implement the ceasefire and withdrawn from all territories and positions. it occupies, as well as fully implemented un security council. resolution is 17. 0, one you what our people have the right to return to their lands and cities and to live in peace, whereby and now in the center of the di here, districts in the silver suburbs of the liberties capital. by reducing the area that came under the most intent on the right default is over the last 6 to 715 in the,

in the park from the city across the gates center. please see for our dream at the see the end of the forming all this whole thing is able to use capital good people to dislike the flags of. other pharmacies are a children a, there is a very amazing mutual job. so you can see the calls free me back into here. many of these people were we were turning to the homes that was left at my home for the 1st time since as well as getting dates is aggressive on the liberties capital. at the end of september, so no emotions are running incredibly high. there's a general lation of joy, but there's also a general feeding box as well. right? got c 5. i agree, but there is no trust to as well. so but the people here firing to continue the

resistance, the football team, favors 11 on a snow deploy and get sony con voice to the buddha with is well, this is footage films on the street on the southern city of tai. and the development comes as part of the seas find deals where it could find washington and powers. meanwhile, it is way the government spokes person said that as well as was. a the right to strike husband the same, the will isn't totally unacceptable. lebanese people to decide the future. lebanon has become a fail state because iran has infiltrate to that country. and whatever you're wrong gets involved becomes a failed states. so this is an opportunity for lebanon, for a brighter future for 11 and yes, of course, for the people which have been used as human shields, but also for the, for the, for the wider community. 11 and alcohol has never been against the lebanese people . it's always been against his beloved. according to the deal will now see

a 60 day through his with his ray, the troops pulling out of 11 on gradually, and his bo retreating north halls. that atanya river nobody's army will move in to secure the area. and the u. s. lead international committee will monitor the implementation of the ceasefire agreement. all lead level security forces will be allowed to carry weapons. and besides neither his boldenow, israel can launch attacks onto the agreement and both sides have committed to un security council resolution. 17, no one, but still reserve the right to self defense. the idea of arabic spokes, person in warren's residence, of southern lab and them to wait for permission before returning to their homes. however, videos surfaced on line shortly after 4 am. when the supply was implemented, showing simple, all ready heading back so they couldn't weigh weigh 10. it is understandable. interestingly,

while presenting the bill to the public is really prime minister. netanyahu clarified that the ceasefire does not signal the end of the war. i'm a sort of look out there, so shall i make a cease fire? now, there are 3 main reasons. first, to focus on the uranium threats. second, to renew our strength. and i tell you openly because it is no secret. there were major delays in the supply of weapons and arguments, but these delays are belt to be lifted soon. we will equip ourselves with advanced means of warfare that will preserve the lives of our soldiers, give us additional force to complete our emissions. oh man, answered the 3rd reason for a cease fire, cutting off barriers and isolating a moss from the 2nd day of the war. a mazda has relied on has will to fight alongside it. and when has the law is out of the picture, a mosque is left alone in the campaign. our pressure on home us will increase,

and this will help the sacred mission of freeing our hostage in the peace. that's many hope this they will bring may in fact lead to an even bigger war. most likely . it was it. and yeah, was looking ahead to a time when trump as well as big friend and ally returns to the white house. washington, by the way, has certainly welcome to do a property emphasizing the course of all of us diplomacy making happened. the future advisor to trump even claims to distillation was thanks to the republican pots, his big election, when present vida. and on the other hand, pointed out that the deal was achieved with his administration's support. he also took the opportunity to remind about gaza that weighed ceasefire to. let's take a listen. just as a lover. these people deserve the future of security and prosperity. so do the people of god that they to deserve and under the friday and displacement, people have got to have it through hell. over the coming days,

the united states will make another push for turkey, egypt, cutter israel, and others to achieve a cease, fire, and gods. but in israel, not everybody welcome to the deal. the loudest criticism came from his wills, national security to administer ben to the end of the on the of the 11 ministers who voted against the agreements colette mistakes. take a listen to what he had to say, as well as some other politicians opposing details. the cabinets decision tonight is a serious mistake. a ceasefire at this stage will not return the residence of the north to their homes, will not deter hezbollah, and in fact will miss the historic opportunity to strike them hard and bring them to their knees. shove, netanyahu does not know how to bring security to israel in his claim that he did not withstand american pressure. it is a disgraceful claim. i'm sure that the greatest disaster in our history happened on netanyahu's watch. no agreement with has belie, we'll erase the abandonment. so with no statement to the media will change history

story. well, a historic mistake or a historic achievement. it's hard to say right now, but what is clear? a major challenge is a has we'll have to wait and see how it plays out. actually, the ukrainian defense when is the roost on or off is in south korea in a bit to drum up more military support from america's allies. a special and well mirror of gave a detailed explanation of the recent situation in ukraine and the movements of north korean troops and said that ukraine is expanded secuity cooperation with major countries around the world, including nature and even member states in response to the unprecedented crisis unexpressed hope of strengthening cooperation with south korea in the future. while k as defense team has perpetuated the narrative of north korean boots on the ground and the ukraine conflicts, some have speculated this could be

a push to encourage south korea to start supplying weapons. the key of any response lost on the south korean foreign minister said his country could consider helping you. trade in baffled reports of the north korean treat presents all concerns about them as a lensky asset and said ukraine was supposed to be preparing an alms requested to south korea. a recent poll among south koreans though doesn't reflect the government stones on possible military age to you trade with 82 percent of respondents considering the move unacceptable. majority 2 out of 3 koreans agree that only humanitarian support should be sent. let's discuss this with, i guess now steve gill form the us trade representative director of into governmental affairs get to see you many thanks for joining us on the program this evening. so what do you think of this ukrainian or tends to secure military support from south korea? do you think it's likely to succeed? that i think is your credit is saying the last ditch efforts of,

of getting money and munitions and manpower from the west. the trend lines are against them both on the battlefield and in terms of getting more argument and more money from the west, even though joe biden is going every last dollar of american tax dollars towards ukraine for giving loans. and. and so i know they just asked me for another $24000000000.00 or so for a, for ukraine today. i think those lines are ending. donald trump is getting ready to assume the presidency. and i think so let's the, and most other nations know the end is near for the blank. checks from the united states. the craze. i don't think the south koreans are going to jump in on a losing shift as it starts to think. we oppose a showing that most south koreans don't want to seal the conflict with um supplies . do you believe this might, might, could have been. so the hold back on that i think, is you asked the people of france and germany, italy and the united states. you get the same sort of whole numbers. and in fact, that's one of the reasons i think that donald trump one. so overwhelmingly,

in the presidential election of the american people are done with funding ukraine and not just funding that the military efforts with funding bureaucrats funding retirees funding the day to day operations of the ukrainian government. well, we apparently can't fund helping people in western north carolina and eastern tennessee were ravaged by for a king who a dare living in tens as snow storms kept. while we're continuing to send the us do you crane? i think the americans are sick of it. and i think the koreans probably are as well, okay, of is claiming that it's already been engaged in bonds. so the gains north korean troops and russians cost region, but positively provided any proof of that. this is russian territory that talking about not inside to frame. most compelling young have said that by last with military practice, lot of kids business. so why would so even once we get involved as well i, i'm sure that the, the north korean soldiers in kirsty been captured by the ghost of t a. you know, that's the side or pilot that turns out to be state propaganda from keith. you

can't believe what they've been saying in this propaganda war from the beginning. again, i think there's actually more more proof of, of western mercenaries from, from western europe in, from the us on the battlefield with ukraine in the us and in western europe, directing these new missiles stripes into russia. i think of anybody's being provocative and being aggressive. it's not the north koreans is western europe and nato and, and frankly, i was surprised. the president trump has already spoken against the aggressiveness of nato. they know it's supposed to be a defensive posture, and they've moved from that into an officer position with respect to ukraine. and i think that again, donald trump will be speaking to that probably said working with us has recently be step 2nd up. it's a military cooperation with south korea is not making the region any safe i think it is. i think it helps prevent north korea from being more provocative. and i think again, with donald trump moving into the white house,

you're going to see less aggressive posture from china, which you've been seeing in the last several months from north korea, which you've been seeing the last several months. the world is going to change on january 21st, when donald trump resumed. so because position of the white house, you're already seeing it changes you see piece deals as you were talking earlier. brent in that has the line 11 on and i perhaps soon and in, in gaza. that's not because joe biden is suddenly respected in the world, is because donald trump is coming. thank you so much for talking to us today is always good to hear from you steve, gil phone with us trade representative, director of inside governmental affairs. thank you. thanks nicki. i thank you for joining us here on all see international. we always appreciate your company if you'd like to learn more about any of those stories, do take our website all t comfortable with that one and 30 minutes. see then

the you may press readers will know that the s guys, penetration of twitter was far deeper than just collaboration. in june. we released an investigation showing that so in recent years, switzer has hired dozens of former agents from the c i a s b. i n me so to work in their most politically sensitive departments, including security, trust and safety, and content and alteration, mccloud, chief editor admin process news. published information about the previous careers of google is and facebook social media census, social media companies like facebook and twitter and youtube, and these others are certainly, uh, originated from uh,
