the, the is on a terrorist groups launched a large scale offensive, and the northern syrian probing to all the net. a strategic army base in the area has reportedly been captured. also, it has been 5 in the, in the park from the city across the gates center. please see far dream of responded reports from the grounds in the day. ruth is lebanese civilians were tons of the homes, a bit of fragile seas by with israel that held throughout wednesday. we are sure of our rights to use our weapons against the military objects to confirm

and allow the use of their weapons against our office. monks go, gave the west another wake up coal loading the ukrainians twice on russia with native supply and weapons will spa retaliation. the very will welcome this is all to international with the latest world news updates, as always is great to help you with our top story in syria. several is the most terrorist groups have the lowest a large scale offense. so the guys, the government's forces in the la pope province, a strategic phase belonging to the syrian army west of a level pass supposedly being captured by the outside affiliated to red. oh, some sanction several nearby towns of also folded into the hands of militants. some reports say the major city of i'll pose the west of alaska, has also been c. this is

serena, i suppose, has been scrambling to withheld. the attacks reports indicate jets, have struck multiple targets, destroying willis and vehicles and killing fights. as we've heard from sonia yvonne to then to an independent industrialist who lived and worked in syria for a long time, she stays the ongoing situation by some striking similarities to the rise of isis a decade ago. you know, they are saying they have to go curbs. parts of i level is out of the stuff and he's added some villages in the western part of a level. so yes, uh that i'm confirmed. i know from some people who live in homes, they said that, you know, they heard it and they saw it from other people who live in a little so and they were casualties. they say they speak about the 57, and i think the syrian tv channel is something like that as well. so yeah,

it's actually terrible. it reminds me of the social issues. how do you pull into concurring syria and then so it's uh, yeah, terrible. actually isis consist of many corrections set, like a new set of songs. i'll tell you the truth. so they owe much to isis, and that to happen. so around 20142015 they responsive 5 of us because of that. and also in europe, of course, they called them rebels was actually a real number of service. it was known that the us and the with one to has him. now the rules and our forced as a somehow is ceasefire between israel and 11. so they wants to keep on continuing decides, because this is their 2nd from, from the west to the 1st process. of course ukraine is let them push all the weapons in. but they want to have scales again in the middle east, and this is in the interest of united states. and of course now in israel as well,

but especially from the united states. let's discuss this with a couple gama see and found the of the syrian analysis group. many thanks for joining us on the program as a well, can you tell us about these terrorist groups on the most hits? the 1st of all, i come from syria and especially from olive pool. i know the geography well, and i've been to the poor thing about this possible attack by the outside. the affiliates and the stomach took hassan army since early october of this year. and i received the messages in directly by european diplomats telling me basically that they are terrified by my report inc. and they don't think that such an attack is possible on the seo and army positions because they are scared off a mass influx of these. do you, how does to turkey and then this you had is trying to go to europe and displeased under every few g, tight, then, for example,

now this attack has happened from western olive pool on the positions of the syrian army by h t. s, which is a new star fund to ox with off, i'll tell you that. and also by the stomach circus to an army, which is the, the rigorous from eastern china providence. keen young who arrived in syria in the 20132014 they have captured the largest west of new territories in width and all the people and i, my sources in our lives will also say that the 2nd fund is be prepared and cooled by h d s, and these are kind of a few minutes on the m 5 highway, especially in the intersection of setup safety. so they're not only attacking west and ali pool provenance and trying to break through the city and go inside the city again. but also trying to cut the lifeline that out between damascus on a level basically the and 5 highway. when this year, an army backed by the additional forces, testable and your engine advisors in 2016,

liberated the city of olive. but they were tested to agreements with the turkey side and the turkey side agreed to uh, what this calls evac, evacuating and cleansing the i tie the types from the prevents but check your students. and i respect these promises for a long time and know that donald trump is coming to the white house, you know, match it a few weeks later down his trying to present itself as a reliable partner of the us by pushing these terms this into the prevents and trying to tell to the americans that's used to us we draws from syria because trump is intending on we drawing the forces of the american forces from city i came here, which rose from cbi i took is your present thing. it says as an, as a, as a substitute as a power that can feel the vacuum. but it says directly to the turkish forces and to it's perhaps this may me, these h, the as the stomach circus that, i mean,

because the turkish army has a presence in it live. and, and it is this, uh, a dis, groups of operating under the protection of the turkish intelligence. mm hm. and also the cuts out the intelligence. and the main goal of this is to disrupt the situation, to stabilize syria and over stretch the syrian army in order to pave the way for a possible israel incursion into the salt in front in the golden heights from the golden. hi cecilia. this is the main goal, they want to all of a search to see an army, push it into an internal conflict. so that if the user, i just want to advance inside see that ends in the southern parts of syria deceiving, i mean would be all of a switch on the geography of the country. so with this being the most serious offensive in, in is what do you make of the timing? who could be interested in pushing the so right now, is it all about the, the income and get new administration of the us? like you say, actually i just want to remind your respected audience that in 2012 objects soon,

yvonne who is now the national security advisor of by the administration backed in he was working for hillary clinton. he sent an email to hillary clinton in february 2012, telling her that guy that is on our side in syria. i'm quoting him, james jeffrey, who was the former especially envoy of to you as to syria. he said that guy, the forces in eat live, are an asset of the us, a strategy in the country. therefore, it is impossible for these a tie the types to, to advance and move and receive all these type of weapons and immunization without for the support. and in this case, we have to focus on the role of the c i a and depend, are going in delivering these type of wip entity and immunization to these service groups. and in this case, the timing is not a coincidence because today we have a cease fire agreement and live on on. and now the americans are uh, focused or hyper focused, let's say on the ukraine fund. but at the same time,

they still see syria as an obstacle to their absolute huge him when he made it to me really, truly and financially under each. and therefore they wants to destabilize the country and force i saw into compromise. and this was the same strategy in 2015 in 2015, john kerry. he was a former secretary of state of the u. s. he met with steven a position figures and somebody leaked the conversation and recorded the old. your basically, john carrie said that we were watching the expansion of isis, and we thought it's a brilliant idea because then we can pressure it on a side and force him to compromise. therefore, the u. s. keeps using these terrace groups in syria from time to time like moving them on the chair or just board. yeah. order to put pressure on us out for a compromise. the compromise that they want from, from a search is to stop supporting the armed struggle of the libyan using the palestinians against gradual confusion forces. thank you so much for talking to us . really appreciate your inside serial analysis group funds

a couple unless you thank you. thank you. the, the is way the military has issued an overnight coffee for bidding civilians from traveling to the south of 11 on as up to thousands of locals rushed to return to the homes of the seas bond between the id s and has the payments of force on wednesday morning, i'll see correspond to the steve suite, a sentence this report from the lebanese capsule. jean 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 all me, 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. it will remain uh 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 as really enemy, fully implement the cease fire and withdrawn from all territories and positions it occupies, as well as fully implemented un security council resolutions and the 17. 0 one us. our people have the right to return to their lands and cities and to live in peace wherever i am now in the center of the district in the service of the liberties proper to the area that came under the most intense form on this friday fault is over the last 6 or 75 in the, in the park from the city, across the gates center. please see for our dream at the also see the end of the

forming office of the liberties capital, the 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 will be returning to the homes that was left at my home for the 1st time since a 0 escalated is aggressive on the liberties capital at the end of the september. so emotions are running incredibly high, there's a general lation of joy, but there's also a general feeding box as well. right? got sci fi. i agree, but there is no trust so as well to but the people here are borrowing to continue the resistance, the id, but all to favors as well as all the sci fi deal. the regular lebanese army is deployed into the country,

south of hezbollah withdrawals from the area is where the troops can also remain that for 60 days until the rotation is completed. the agreement was broken by the us. um from common thing on the deal is wally governments. folks posted and took a wrong level and has become a failed state because the wrong has infiltrate to that country and whatever you're wrong gets involved becomes a failed state. so this is an opportunity for lebanon, for a brighter future for lebanon. yes, of course, for the people which have been used as human shields, but also for the, for the, for the wider community in 11 and alcohol has never been against the lebanese people. it's always been against physical uh we have some, some is waiting citizens, well they think about the ceasefire and the reactions that have been mix. i don't know. i think it's enough that everybody at both sides got the lot. so i think they're gonna be enough. we need to stop this war. they say it's, it's fine,

but you can't know these guns and that's not gonna respect this fire. he's going to continue. so then afraid of course, that i'm not going to go back to that home may be service. so i'll be in the illusion to think that if we lost, usually in this country, we have a lot of rules and then sees kyra's and then we have a games, a some kind of agreement. and then it repeats itself. very said, now live in typhoid and is very texted up here with all of the booms. nothing's fall in, but we have children here and we have to be cautious with the law. i pray. first of all, i pray for a better day, a better. another 2nd, again, from this 2nd, from this 2nd not tomorrow, not next year, not wherever today. so today, today, i want to cease fire myself because i am scared. i am honestly, i'm against this is fire. and i don't think or to is or anything. i think we're

there, we need to continue. and then that's the only way to, to end this. we had says fire in the, in the past. and still we will on the tech stomach on the slip quietly. and, and that's the, the, the, the reason we say things people don't really turn to their homes big because it can see if it's sites that what we'd like to happen. not people are tired of war. people are tired of being scared. people want to leave in peace, so i have only positive emotions about this cease fire near the mirror. that doesn't, there is no peace there is just to cease fire and its temporary camera optima. how can you move back when you're not sure about the future? imagine me, i do, my experience says that you can be only sure when you don't have such neighbors. the following, ukraine's latest twice on russia with us applies long range missiles,

most goes deputy and void took the floor. the un security council to one of serious repercussions are still in the discovery, as well as what can we say, you'll have to wait and see each point of escalation from the west will be accompanied by a strong response from rush from. we are sure of our right to use our weapons against the military objects of the country that allow the use of their weapons against our objects. also, we'd like to mention that there is no counter to our most advanced hypersonic weapons. we have warranty you have made your choice. let's see what you see. i think the increased product case ends from nato, and from the us and in western europe. i have been met, frankly, with, with great patience and grace by russia at this point. and i think the message that they're sending is don't keep pushing us, or we will have to do a response. i don't think there's this boy rush up once to see a fee increase. the, the battlefields include western europe with, with firing missiles and rockets into those areas. although underwriting, national,

all they may be allowed to do. so i was joking with a friend of mine that kind of playing on the theme in the us that the ukrainian receive. and so let's you should be thankful that russia has not already turned kids up pronouns in the was and work. but again, i think the russians have been very gracious and very cautious and trying to expand this beyond what is really short term. uh because you have pressed the volume is leading office, the outgoing bonded administration. now, supposedly alls congress in private for an additional $24000000000.00 to keep feeling the ukraine conflicts. however, only one side of that somewhat would actually go to kia while the rest of the money would be used to replenish america's own military stuff. pulse by didn't, has been going on with it and when it comes to foreign policy after trunk one, the presidential election, here's what i guess. have to say about that as well. if you want a window into why the democratic party loss of the election and the last it

severely, that's the reason. the reason is that by our division over ukraine and israel, over the lives and welfare of the american people or the american working class, the fact that people are struggling day to day you economic conditions have worse than for many american workers. there are struggles in our cities in our rural areas. we have academic routes of crime, of drug use, of loveliness, of depression, and the fact that now all of this treasure is a hard earned treasure of the american people is being sent to you green. and by extension to israel, to carry on the wars of the american empire clearly showed the priorities of the administration as all the i'd love to hear your perspective on the latest us estimates to escalate the conflicts in ukraine with less than 2 months before the republicans take over the white house. what are your thoughts on the situation? it is very clear that the binding immunization interest is not the american people

seem to is. it is just before the interests of the meal on each state in order to continue to pay money into what gives the box for to them. you know, what the and the cost of the to you, i'm from the ukrainians. not just of the american people to put a middle card. if you look at those why the, what it was doing a song, it was because the one to move, for course, infinity day and for a sub job is to team the health care system. it's gain in all human development index. medicaid is going be no indeed along the top of the developed countries. so when you look up old listings, the americans want to buy the document to go back and fix the problems. new whites, the target, or the new ones, is elected to the templates and you create a whole lot, 5000 miles. we in order for them to decide to introduce our need is the one to be kept to the issue so much so that you may need to go by the next 2 weeks. it would

be very difficult for you to get the display. yeah, that was the how it wasn't that they're there in january when donald trump comes into office. but there might be some kind of resolution to the suffering going on between russia and ukraine. don donald trump is now top top to retire, that lieutenant general t's kellogg to act as a special envoy. all the ukraine conflicts his report of tongue would include freezing the situation on the front lines. but most go as well. what do you project and so tight, this thing would only give you credit? another chance to re, um, so what do you make of trump, the latest pick of those thoughts and to look a little bit unclear, isn't it? yeah, it's as clear as mud, a lot of his picks seem to be hawkish. a lot of his pick seem to be people that will continue the war, not only in ukraine, but of course in gaza, and then possibly opening up a fraud with china. i mean, and i think

a lot of people who voted for it from the thought they were voting for peas. thank you. are very disappointed and very worried about what his 2nd term is going to look like. and whether we're just going to have more all the time, appreciate that is certainly my fear. so certainly as a peace activist, i know that i would have great job security under trump, unfortunately. coming back to christopher. now, i mean, president biden, especially as in, you know, taking it easy for his last a few weeks and office he's not reported the so you can get an additional $24000000000.00 for the ukraine conflict from congress before he leaves office. why do you think such a big deal is apparently happening behind the scenes and not being made public and well, i would be buying that administration even have time to spends such a massive sun before trying to take so, but the white house, so what you are seeing now is you're seeing this last ditch effort to really bolster the ukrainian military capabilities in the event that something comes in

and, and cuts off the supplies that you can use can still not negotiate and perpetuate the conflict for even months. so ned, hampering any effort by the incoming trump administration to find peace. i think that this is an opportunity to also be a dagger in the jump administration before they've even coming to the office. well, 1st of all, it's very troubling. it clearly goes against the well, the american people and the people who voted in this election too clearly loaded for peace and an end of this conflict. that's what they were promised, and biden seems to be wanting to do everything he can to prevent the incoming administration from making peace. that is what the goal seems to be. and i do think he understands that it's not a popular move. and so that's why the secrecy, that's why he's not going to go to congress to get this money. they're just gonna re shuffle money. the, the depending on already has, by the way it should be pointed out that the pentagon is failed. it's 7 audit in

a row with outgoing prices. and by then pushing for escalation, many of painting hoops on top of folks on donald trump. however, the us presence of the likes piece making pledges on now in doubt as he's nominated several foreign policy holds for his upcoming administration. the republicans pick for counterterrorism director has said motions and will stress in moscow with even more a to k has been buys. it has been sending an sebastian book or launch some personal insults that allows me to put in during a televised interview is a good one. tip away to the president, as mentioned, he will say to that murderous 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 voss fall right. will look like p knots. that's how he will force those gentlemen to come to an arrangement that stops the blood share. a gray zone has

published its investigation and insights into sebastian goals. the outlet says, but trump nominee who has what has an anti communist activism, was shaped by his experiences in british military intelligence. particularly though his mentorship, hyundai correspondingly and office and known for pushing pensions with most good this connection not only influenced mystical cuz career trajectory cor, i'm thinking i'm a p h, the endorsement from donnelly, but also position time within the nato establishment. we discussed the prospects of the upcoming us administration with the grace of an editor in knox. blumenthal 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. if you are failing. the ukraine proxy war became a salient issue in the election campaign. and it did influence many people to vote for donald trump,

because they understood that their money was going out to an extremely corrupt country, fighting a failing war. that was only escalating and putting millions and millions of people, particularly in europe, in harm's way. and this was a part of j. d vance, as appeal explicitly through a new york times editorial and again and again and debates in on the campaign trail to the american public. and now we see a faction with in donald trump's america 1st world by which 60 wants to put nato 1st. and sebastian gorka is going to have trumps a year. so it could be, but he said he's not the only one. he's far from the only one. this lindsey graham is another figure in the senate who has emerged as a key trump ally and has said that america 1st actually represents sending as much

military a. do you crate as possible? because 65 to 70 percent of that a comes back to american defense companies and contractors. so it's actually putting american americans economy 1st with ukraine as a kind of a laundromat. this, this is not what the american, what americans voted for. even democrats previously supported ukraine against russia have turned against this war. it's just not what the american public supports right now. the american public also does not support this nuclear possible nuclear escalation, with russia with long range strikes, there are no polls showing that they support it. and so it really highlights the anti democratic nature, or on democratic nature of american foreign policy. the us dollar a steadily climbing against the rubel on the market sand. plenty of western pon

visit being quick to say the russian economy is finally buckling under the weights of sanctions on sees elliot between co explains why a weaker national currency as an actor a such a bad thing for most good that they are delighted to make the call the western media is once again talking about how the latest washington sanctions are taking effect and smashing the washing economy into pieces. how many times did we read stories hinting that russia's finances were on the brink of collapse? well, the rest of the global is indeed in dire straits, edging closer to the lows of 2 years ago. regardless of whether that's the direct impact of us restrictions on dozens of russian banks or not. listen to this from finance minister, anton say the want of i am not saying whether the exchange rate is good or bad. i'm just saying that today the exchange rate is very, very favorable for export as boom, when it comes to exports. and the 1st thing that comes to mind is watched as vast natural resources. a cheap ruble is what the people in charge of the federal budget

would actually look for to simply because they'll be getting even more roubles for the saying sums of foreign currencies. by the way, there have been instances in us history. when washington d value the greenback at the expense of its own allies to cash in on foreign trade . anyway, another school key thing that western journalists are talking about is high for inflation. as if the cost of living wasn't something that is worrying the entire western world nowadays way beyond russia's borders. indeed, inflation in russia is high running at 8.5 percent natick tober close to the us figure from 2 years ago. and it's an uphill battle for the central bank, which has already raise rates to 21 percent to try and bring prices under control. but the head of the central bank is confident about the methods and says they'll be wearing fruit in the near future. we believe that our policy will reduce inflation from 4 to 4.5 percent next year. then stabilize it at a level near 4 percent. as it flows down, we will also consider

a gradual reduction in the key rate. but perhaps the best witness test is what the people are up to and how they feel. there's nothing better than hitting the streets to get that understanding. at a top when washes economy is detaching itself from the us dollar like never before . the country currency is hitting record lows just like it did in 2022 when moscow announced in special military operation against you crate. and as i'm speaking, the rubel tumbled to 114 against a dollar in the past days like these were called like mondays, tuesdays, wednesdays, you name it. but today in 2024, not much of this sentiment can be felt in the streets of the washing capital right now. i'm at one of the busiest offices addresses biggest lender, burbank. so let's check it out. the

need to be forgiven for expecting panic. public storming dms or exchange booths or something of that sort. but frankly, this isn't something that i see here. let's see the other section of the bank. so yes indeed, every once in a while there's a bit of a line or sometimes it's almost completely empty, which is nothing unusual. absolutely. for a regular week, day after work, people are lining up for their regular business tasks, which i guess means that it's all business. if you feel you have to try and go r t mazda, if you'd like to know more about any of us stories, do check our website all teeth. those con.
