the, the, the exotic terrorist groups launched a large scale offensive in the northern syria of 12. it's 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 board. and get it set up. ready, just probably see far dream of a responded reports from the ground in the day. ruth is lebanese civilians were tons of the homes, a bit of fragile seas by with israel's that health. throughout wednesday, we are sure of our rights to use our weapons against the military objects to

confirm that allow the use of their weapons against our office and long ago gave the west another wakeup call loading the ukrainians. twice on russia with native supply and weapons will spa retaliation, the very warm 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 estimates, terrorist groups have launched a large scale offensive against the government's forces in the last pope province. a strategic phase belonging to the syrian on the west of a level pass reportedly being captured by the outside affiliated to red awesome sanction. several nearby towns of also folded into the hands of militants. some reports say the major city of outpost, the west of alaska was also being seized. this

is serena peoples has been scrambling through with how the attacks to oppose indicate jets, had struck multiple targets, destroying willis and vehicles and killing fighters. we've heard from sonia yvonne to then to an independent dutch journalist who lived and worked in syria for a long time si size, the ongoing situation by some striking similarities to the rise of isis a decade ago. i know they're saying they have local curbs, parts of a level as out of the startup, 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 actual interest. how do you fall into concurring syria again? so it's down several actually. isis consist of many corrections says like a new sort of thrones. i'll tell you the truth. so they owe much to ice incidence that happened so around 20142015 they responsive by the us because that and also in europe of course, they called them rebels. but actually, and when we all know the service, it was known that uh the us and the with one to has him. now the rules and our forced as a somehow a ceasefire uh between israel and 11. so they wants to keep on continuing decides, because this is their 2nd phone from the west. the 1st problem is of course, ukraine. that's where they 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 all 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 circus done armies 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 have this to a turkey and then this you had is trying to go to europe and displeased under every fiji part of the for example. now this attack has happened from western olive pool

on the positions of the syrian army by h d. s, which is a little square font. the ox with off, i tell you that and also by the stomach circus on 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 olive will also say that the 2nd front is be prepared and cooled by h d s, and these are kind of a few dates on the m 5 highway, especially in the intersection of setup cd. so they're not only attaching 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 m 5 highway. when this year, an army backed by the additional forces has more law 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 province, but check your students and, and 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're drawing the forces of the american forces. from cd 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 his name, it is h t as the stomach circus that i mean,

because the turkish army has a presence in it live. and, and it is this a, this groups of operating under the protection of the turkish intelligence. and also the cuts out the intelligence and the main goal of the skis to disrupt the situation, to stabilize syria and orest race, the syrian army in order to pay 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 civilians 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 incoming, it's new administration in the us. like you say, actually i just want to remind your respected audience that in 2012 objects only

yvonne who is now the national security advisor of uh by the administration back then 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 see of you. i'm quoting him. james jeffrey, who was the former especially envoy after us to celia. he said that i tie the forces in each live are an assets of the us, a strategy in the country. therefore, it is impossible for this kind of types to, to advance and move and receive all these type of weapons and ammunition without for the support. and in this case, we have to focus on the role of the c i a and the pins 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 ceasefire agreement and live on. and now the americans are focused or hyper focused, let's say unto you grant fund. but at the same time,

they still see syria as an obstacle to the absolute huge him when he made it to me really, truly and financially under huge. 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 stephen a position figures and somebody leaked the conversation and recorded the all of 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 side for compromise. the compromise that they want from some assets is to stop supporting the armed struggle of the lead by using the palestinians against radio professional forces. thank you so much for talking to us. really appreciate your insides. seriana analysis group funds a consult anacio. thank you. thank you. the,

the is really 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 f and has the payments of force on wednesday. morning i'll see correspond to the steve sweetie, such as this report from the lebanese capsule. jean dia, district, in the southern suburbs up 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 watch out for 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. be i demand that the is really enemy fully implement the ceasefire and withdrawn from all territories and positions it occupies up as well as fully implemented un security council resolution 1701 you what 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 silver suburbs of the liberties proper to the area that came under. the most intent on these right. default is over the last 6 and 75 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. good people are displaying 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 as well. so, but the people here borrowing to continue to resist the idea overall to the 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 on from the common thing on the deal is wally government spokesperson took a wrong level and has become a fail state because the wrong 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 ended up in an alcohol has never been against the lebanese people. it's always been against fish, but uh we have some, some is waiting citizens what they think about the cease fire 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 says fire, but you can't know these guns,

and that's not gonna respect that society is going to continue. so then afraid of course, they're not going to go back to that home may be service um being illusion. the thing that if we lost usually in this country, we have a lot of rules and then sees kyra's and then we have a game. it's some kind of agreement and then it to repeats itself. very said, now live in cipher and is very pick that up here with all of the bones. nothing has fallen, but we have children here and we have to be cautious with the law. i pray 1st 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 it's really is or anything. i think we,

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 reason we say things people don't really phone 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 temper optima. how can you move back when you're not sure about the future? she, me, i do. my experience says that you can be only sure when you don't have such neighbors . the following, ukraine's latest likes 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 microscope, 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 i think the increased product case ends from nato and from the us and in western europe 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 because there's this boy rush up wants to 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 same in the us, that the ukrainian receive and zaleski 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 of supposedly all's 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 as well. the rest of the money would be used to replenish america's own military stuff. pulse by doing that has been going on. 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 uh

severely. uh, that's the reason. the reason is that by our division over ukraine and israel, over the lives and welfare of the american people in the american working class, the fact that people are struggling day to day economic conditions have worse than for many american workers. there are struggles in our cities in our rural areas we have at, but that makers 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 medium income people

seem to is, it is just for the interest of the meal on each state in order to continue to pay money into what you talk to them, you know, warranty. and because of the to you, i'm from the ukrainians. not just of the american people, a middle cards. if you look at those, why do you what it was doing? a saw it was because you wanted multiple course intern. i mean the infrastructure is the team. the health care system, it's gain in all human development index. medicaid is going be no indeed among the top of the developed countries. so when you look up old listings, the americans want to buy a document to go back and fix their intellect problems, new wives, the target or the new ones, is elected to the templates. and you create a whole lot, 5000 miles a week in order for them to decide to introduce our need is the one to be kept to the issue so much so that you really have time to go by the next 2 weeks. it will

be very difficult for you to get this block. yeah, that was 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 keys kellogg to act as a special envoy. all the ukraine, conflicts his report. a ton would include freezing the situation on the front lines, but most go as well. what do you project and so tied, this thing would only give you credit another chance to re on. 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, it's clear as mud a lot of his picks seem to be hawkish. a lot of his pick seen 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 peace 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 is 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, isn't, 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 spend such a mazda of some before ton takes over 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 decker 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 bide, and 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 going to re shuffled money. 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 in buying and 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. i've been buys, it has been sending an sebastian go for also some personal insults that floods may have put in dear intel advise them to be. to get one tip away, 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, all the aides 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 share. a gray zone has published its investigation and insights into the

bouncy and go ok. 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, christopher lee and office and 9 for pushing tensions with most good. this connection not only influence mr. gold because 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. boom. and so 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 ward 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 here. 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's 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 americas economy 1st with ukraine as a kind of a laundromat. this, this is not what the american, what americans voted for. even democrats for 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 dolah essentially climbing against the ruble on the markets on plenty of west and pon visit been quick to say the russian economy is finally buckling under

the weights of sanctions on these areas between co explains why a weaker national currency is an add to 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 rushed his finances were on the brink of collapse? well, the rest of the rubel is indeed in dire straits, edging closer to the loaves 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 google 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 same sums of foreign currencies. by the way, there have been instances in us history when washington, the value of the greenback at the expense of its own allies to cash and 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 fruits 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 is 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 you did in 2022 when moscow announced in special military operation against ukraine. and as i'm speaking, the rubel tumbled to 114 against a dollar in the past. these like these were called like mondays, tuesdays, wednesdays, you name it, but today in 2024, not much of this sentiment can be felt industry of the washing capital right now. i'm at one of the busiest offices of rushes biggest lender, burbank. so let's check it out. the

need to be forgiven for expecting panic. public storming the atm zoar 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 back to 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 businesses, you really have to try and go r t mazda if you'd like to know more about any of us stories to check our website out.
