are you ready to come along the valid and protest in golf, the georgia and the capital a for the night and that task surprise it into the box. but it really, you demonstrate as refuses to see the power of leaving the cry range come on the theory as presidents vows to process the terrorist uprising of the country's northwest, saying the army forces are gearing up to count of the shop many times offensive. now's the fighting in testify this syria, iran points the finger directly at the us and these role painting that there are the ones behind the terrorist offensive. the

idea of watching our team to national reaching you live from a new center with moscow. i am michael quarter now the georgia and capital is fast resembling a was low and follow you now. the knights of rage playing out on the streets of the police. it is this consecutive night of protest by pro wise to demonstrate those who are demanding close at ties to the use. the a firewall found on a direct the police was among the test as also as being slides, just swamp around the government buildings. meanwhile, georgia as president, who holds e, you citizenship and supports the 1st act movement, says a due to the current situations who will not feed power when hot tub expires in the coming use. the paper i would like to inform the public that the president,

the only independent, legitimate entity left in this country has received popular approval. here. we'll meet again tomorrow. i will be with the people i invited and with whom i will be at the forefront of this political process because i remain your president, whether there is no legitimate parliament, an illegitimate parliament cannot elect a new president. therefore, there can be no and argue ration. and my mandate continues until there is a legitimately elected parliament from that legitimately chooses. who should replace me? i am and remain with you in regard to some of the people that what the country locked in the palace travelled upon minutes that has a key with europe and officials of destabilizing the situation saying, forces i was trying to bring about the repeat of what happened in ukraine a decade ago. so that's all the primary responsibility for yesterday's want and riley lives with the rent. but you are paying politicians and bureaucrats as well as the local ages. but it's called him represented by full political policies

yesterday. it also became clear to everyone that old policies are fully aware of the situation. the radicals and the 4 and patrons, however continuously attempt to fabricate, excuse these, these stabilize the country. unfortunately, ukraine always, they shouldn't have georgia what, but yet to understand is that i'm like you created in 2013. georgia is an independent state with strong institutions and most importantly, unexperienced. and why is population resilience cannot be shaken? the my down to scenario will not take place in georgia. georgia is a sovereign states, and the georgia government will not allow it. a condo. well are to sell it the bass keys into b. c. and sense of this report from the center of last night's raging protests in the capital here in the middle of the road, just leading up to the problem. and you can see the power case of being in place. and i just want to bring you to the fact that these are occasion you can see how they're holding them up. they are ripped up, please choose from the street,

and then using these to these barricades. and the reason they put in the bar to say is because further down the street towards liberty square, we have to move to canon all ready to come off as well would move police police poking the roads over to the sides. please poking the roads down here, don, hey, basically making over for capital into one area. we just come up to the george and call them building your guy. now, because we come inside, some of the protests has been able to get into the building and they've solved a fire. we know that they have been smashing some of the windows in the fall and then you can have for the noise is most of that noise is protest buying against the power case. but we understand from that not only have the purchase has to be able to get inside the building where there are only security personnel as well. but

they've also been able to start a fire just using into this for the people coming out onto the street with the car in the to suspend to essentially see until at least 2028. the, we've just come down to the boat to move us to valley street, which is about 250 to 300 meters away from the georgia in parliament. and as you can see, just behind me, we have a large contingent of the police force and looking behind was accountants at all ahead of them on their heading towards protesters. there was so i was in support testers, outside the parliament, they have been smashing the windows, they've been throwing fireworks at the police. and both those are being thrown and

is really becoming a bit of a mess. once again. this 3rd noise in the road that we're seeing tensions now after hours and hours of patiently waiting. we're now finally seeing the police that coding up. besides here. oh, getting ready to go in to disperse those for testers. let's see how this turns out . the well, those barricades, the post test is attempting to put up on the street, completely dismantled by the will to canons. and already i can tell you that these 2 guys certainly. yeah, you can just feel the sort of a sickness of it within your throat to i assume that means it is being flung in the way of protest as of which will really be quite a difficult thing to deal with. give them that they will being canceled in from quite a lot of sites. you can see the cloud shift

again, trying to get them to move away from the police effectively. not just pushing down the valley avenue, detroit, i'm away from the polymer building. they have been attempting damage even of something moving, but really you've already got smoke pushing down that way even where we all from we're getting a sense of how much we use the the safety for holding this for you. because you might be able to know the process of

moving them or not mean somewhere pretty close to us. obviously this is an exclusive device. any shape or form, you can have them being consistently and they get very far behind the police line. so. so for the moment, we're just gonna stay here and grab some safety from the good old 3 the what like towards the end of the night. so some fun but i thought it was a good idea to see the protests in union. and then you have the government, which is elected overcharged for the whole

suspension tool. so peaceful we have to do is when you go to but who is not that leads with the pro you elected as who has the power here because of the present. she also is some of which means on the military to help people who relationship with

by all means including you we have seen violence on both sides over the last few day hours and hours and hours we saw standing on waiting and no response to the bottles that were thrown out to the tools to the laser feed on. i think it all. it's calm here in parliament square. nice. me see i didn't ross us brianna's good border region. the child has been killed and the

ukrainian drilled and attack eye witnesses footage is taken moments after the drug and head shows flames lighting knobs the night sky. the gob. busy debris ask region had said to buildings had suffered damage in the attack or the emergency services are working august to the mid week. now surrender air forces have reportedly carried out the series of strikes and the terrorist alma called him on the main highway connecting demoss goes to a level. now this footage is said to show the moment all the attacks and it comes in response to a shock, a terrorist offensive in the north of the country. right? yeah, the president valves to maintain serious territorial integrity and crossed the uprising bar on the sides. comments came during the phone call with his counterpart in the u, a. e. the president alice signed emphasized during the call that syria continues to

defend its stability and territorial integrity against all terrorists and their supporters and is able with the assistance of its allies and friends to defeat and eliminate those terrorists. no matter how intense their attacks may be. the foreign minister, as of russia and to key have spoken about the on folding crisis. both countries have played people to roles in the past and trying to resolve the conflict in the country. moscow says of the need to restore peace is a power id. the talks focused on the ongoing situation in syria. both sides express grave concerns over the dangers development in the syrian era public in connection with the military escalation and the level and it live provinces. both sides confirm the necessity to coordinate joint actions to stabilize the situation. in the syrian era, public 1st and foremost, using capabilities of the standard format of a syrian social national parties head of 4. and the 5 is a topic,

a model called on the truck is going to fulfill the very responsibility agreed upon to guaranteed peace in syria in these programs and live out of this and made sense of this. you had the close of the role only surely or to put this government as dirty is as you know, is in us that of the city and maybe uh, uh, agreements we uh, the email address as uh, the diesel, the, the, the, uh, the controller of the deed for these groups as always the government or to do you say uh no uh the goal of uh, the government my, my view, my analyzes is to uh, change the game now before the coming of the. 8 because this was

always the what do you see? oh, the so called the demographic spotty. i mean from the time of obama, when the sold goes out, a big spring began. i took you was the lead up in the big spring. it circles out a big spring where the arabic tends to be, as has been better for me to me, is yet to believe you have to do is you to see the, every was, every country was as you know. but as a city of. 1 1 of the spectrum, i don't see the people who are one of the, this is celia is a 14 years war of the sections of the america, of the west and the seas ad and the all these uh and the 50. 0 uh oh, the old uh the only a bit to an old old old syria from the blue american a probation in the east. so see it. is it really, really very,

very dangerous. um, uh the uh, same similar situation. i think of course, these general groups got lovely with the old bed from old site, of course. now with terrorists now sponsored on the streets of level on verified videos of the night of a minute, tons waving a syrian opposition slag in the city of central square. are these tasks get tell you that i spoke about the developments with my colleagues. very associate, a lot of today is of trying to repel a major offensive of terrorist groups on the city of a last. so it looks like the national army has made the decision to withdraw its full says from several neighborhoods within the situation. the total is home for about $2000000.00 people. apparently on medicines have taken control of around 400 square kilometers of territory. so i saw that sooner. those a lot put on it live problem says as well, some room us as a minute,

treat face of the syrian army. they're also set to tap to the heavy weaponry and equipment of not say mommy. now we have already had some reports that hello pad terrorist from hyatt talk for a shuttle h t s. as it's known how to enter the city, send to videos of them moving and not just on, on the vehicles, but also on foot. but now we have this official statement which seems to confirm what the situation is on the ground. and the view from damascus very much is the to these latest in the news is, are really just another attempt to undermine peace and prosperity. the country has been at war against terrorism and its sponsors since 2011 to the present day. the recent terrorist attacks on the city of a level, a just one of many terrorist acts aimed at undermining peace and stability and intimidating citizens. while we're also getting unconfirmed uh footage from what

looks like the very hot old dot historic city that is the citadel and which will see the flag of the so feel free syrian all me, which just to be clear is a met leads of is the most groups about flag a new wave. there are also some images of the hottest or playing a scott to all the president assets deceased rob the. so just to say that is a, i'm verified, so fall, but the material is out west and back groups of minutes ends a tried to cut off the iranian supply line that's been reaching has blah and 11 on . of course israel recently pulling back from southern 11 on a bit, the so called c side with a has blog, but give us if you would, a bit of background on this escalation. well, in the last few days, we have seen some of the deadliest fighting in yes. and it really re abrupt it when on groups went on a surprise, a sense of need to be set and left within the site since then. that helps in class

is ongoing. with government forces we part of call problem is we sold a stripe, one of you to us that you building that claimed the lives of 2 students. and the only did continue to resist that, in some cases, that success me re took positions. but now we all, when we all re deployment within a laptop. so very much a fluid situation. but this of course is a story that goes so much by the act, syria was embroiled and is very large. and it's a civil war between 20112015, which h t. yeah. so as it was then known, jump on a little. so an officer of, i'll call you to it opposed, president sasha, us odd. and i said lloyd, as was saying this is all very clear to us next. use washington of behind the scenes, coordinating and sponsoring fate resistance. most of that did help military in 2016 and not really lead to acid re tasting territory,

not just from on most of but also from iso and all the rebel fruits and stuff are generally sci fi washington as well. and that's coats. i'll pull it really late in ruins. this was a city that have been on the seas. maybe 5 is not seed was i mean, listed in 2016 and all the rebels. would it be that they would push the side the west into the problems with the same contain? uh since. so this is an area that a software for well over a decade now in 2023. this was before i could between moscow and cor, was tested, providing those ministry on financial support to some of the rental groups. but that's curious was always very fragile. and it's pretty clear at the moment situation has deteriorated now to iran has given its backing to the mass cousin, it's fight against the. busy times came in the us and he's well behind the southern researches of tara groups in syria. the reactivation of terrorist groups in syria

is a us sign escape after a failure, a living in the syrian government and its citizens are resolutely standing against those terrorist groups. now and as tensions are, once again boiling in the our country and the s t s is clement key regions there to one has we generated it's commitment to protecting the syrian government. different one individuals have mentioned this uh, but on friday, a foreign minister, a boss. i don't have to set it directly to his union counterpart, but some sub boss during a phone conversation work. the 2 sides discussed at the latest developments in syria during the call. the syrian foreign minister reaffirmed the stand so far the syrian government against what he called terrorist incursions vowing to for quote, finished various objectives of terrorist and their western backers, are off chief or his part. i called this he believes that the, the resurgence of terraced factions and syria reflects as well as the setbacks and

lebanon and palestine as uh, the new ship. uh, this whole ship banking, uh, serial. started right after the cease fire in lebanon. so uh they are wanting official believes that it's all a scheme led by the west side as well to continue to disrupt regional fees. now we see that diplomatic efforts are also going on. it was for administrative announced today that i bought off to you will embark on a regional tour on sunday to address this new crisis. we understand that he will 1st travel to damascus to meet, meet about charlotte side. afterwards he said to pay a visit to turkey um, which is also part of this um, a multi faceted interplay of forces in the geopolitical landscape of syria. but let's not forget the role play by russia here as a key player. that's our presence that's also forced present to serial upon an official request by the serious it's a government and everyone knows this. well today i bought off to you and here's the

frustrating counterparts. are the leverage, spoke on the phone to discuss the situation is serious. of course. uh, iraq. g once again said that the other surprise attack in syria was part of quote, us and israel conspiracy. we've been hearing such claims and such statements being repeated by different iranian officials. uh and it's all about these really presence either these way, the role and bringing the whole region into chaos, of course. so we see that today a ceremony of a funeral ceremony was held in honor of an art g. c. official who has been killed in this new crisis during the funeral into one is senior i r g c. what's force came out there said that it's um, there was a policy to quote, courageously maintained support for syria and the access of resistance to the

tech fury groups abuse the ceasefire with the support of the us and the zion is regina and began their attacks in a level and in syria, as almost surely the fight is of the resistance and the syrian government with the support from the islamic republic. oh, and will, will lead to other losses in their history. meanwhile, speaker, it was parliament's mom above everybody, both advised regional countries to stay out of the trouble and not take any side of this as there are also some conflicting interests. serial by different regional states. we know of saudi arabia has some conflicting interests compared to yvonne, their guitar, turkey, all those countries have their own interests and threats in syria. so the general sentiment to anyone is that the game is not over. and that the same way as iran dismantled isis in syria years ago. it will neutralize this new core as this as well. now for the 1st time since becoming the us president elect donald

trump has taken a my toll colored breaks comments. we say it would never replace the data on the international market, and he expect and tripling towers against anyone who tries to break big britain banks dominance. the idea that the bricks countries are trying to move away from the dollar while we stand by and watch is over. we require a commitment from these countries that they will neither create a new bridge currency, nor back any other currency to replace the might of us dollar. or they will phase 100 percent tariffs and should expect to say good bye to selling into the wonderful us economy. they can go find another sucker. there is no chance that the bricks will replace the us dollar an international trade in any country that tries should wave goodbye to america. let's get some analysis on all of this now. hard to contribute to chris evans joins me right here and just to do christmas,

good to see you. you see my grade. now this is basically the 1st time that the president elect is talking about the potential breaks comments. the is the surprising, i don't think is quite surprising as much as, as a lot of people might think, due to the fact that during his presidential campaign, actually bul top the, you know, the idea that he could see the dollar was declining. on top of that, you spoke with a lot of different crypto currency companies is took a lot of money from 5th to coming to donors. so that thing was seeing anything too surprising gave in terms of his reservations coming out now. well, donald trump has strengthens 100 percent tires to anyone in the country that is trying to break the dominance of the data. is not really possible. can that happen or what kind of areas do you see? yeah, i mean it's, it's kind of a bit of a silly thing right now on one side. he can't, he kept saying during his campaign that's a sanctioned start. and he's now saying he wants to start the tower of the whole world. so he's because of, i mean, breaks uh, mike takes up the 50 percent of the global population. i think it's unrealistic for

him to claim again, he's a businessman, right. so it does a lot of fostering, but to claim that he can put pirates on the i've a 50 percent of the world's population. what's gonna happen to america if he does that? exactly. because it's almost a 2 plus tax between all the reciprocal situations not. but let's look at it this way. donald trump said that it is not possible for the, for the, for the dollar dominance to be challenged. and no one can take over the, the, the dominance of the data. but how can he be social? yeah, it's a really great question, mike, i don't know if he can be so i think even if we look at bricks and cars on uh, mike, when i was a fortune of to be that. and we had a really great program that by the way, and i, i think you, if you look at it and the president boots in order been made to other world leaders, they didn't really say, look, we're going to try and get rid of the dollar. what they said more, it was that they were trying to build alternative methods of processing payments. and i think that's the biggest problem for donald trump. i think the breaks may

genuinely be all you put into the us still the big pots of that, as long as they play by the same rules as the other bricks, nation. so no more as having a swift system dominated by the us where they seeing every other countries transactions, but they're essentially dictates in trade. but they have to become possible why the family, when it comes to globally international payment systems of money. if i part of what the complain about is the webinar ization of these instruments in the one days if, if a platform has been created, everyone can use it the way supposed to be and all of that. no. so the top one is a commitment from breaks. uh, you know, members page, you know, not to create their own currency, but do you think that the countries i'm going to pull the line? i don't really think the same. like i think again, we're looking at donald trump, being a businessman, he's doing a lot of fostering. he's wanting to, i think he's wanting to provide really president. she where he keeps saying he wants a trifle with china to kind of go, go opposite with him. but i think they will now, i think they will have enough. i mean, they've had to, for years of, of, of, of,

of, of democrats, the essentially tried to destroy their economies for the installation reduction act to the number of other policies that i think they're going to try the line now. and they've just put a lot more power now than they used to spell out. one would say, why don't make the dollar more attractive. we don't this best way. see if, you know, is spotty. g of getting people to lose all the dollar because he has an edge, you know, naturally button lashing out and tyree him some weaponized ation. and all of that a seems america based on learning and lessons here. yeah, it's crazy, mike, isn't it really, i mean, you think america would have learned either over the past, you know, few years with the science of russia and then how they just half of what their idea of all the dominance when the saudis turned around, due to what is the political instability? they closed around the walls and said, look, we're not going to trade in the door. that's why the heck are they keeping going with this vis? disrupted, makes no sense whatsoever very my opinion. or i would wait to see how things. busy pallets of cause uh, looking forward to the next 2 months when he takes the saddle presents. thank you

so much for your time. thanks. so thank you right now. stay with our t international for all the latest from around the world to see you again, i probably, yeah, by now the, the claims of the king of the belgians leopold the 2nd to the congo were finally authorized by the leading european countries in 18. 85 in the very heart of the african continent states under the rule of the belgian monarch was declared. since the beginning, the congo free state was total, may have for the local population and functioned as a universal concentration camp. the majority of the population, including women and children,

were forced to work on the rubber plantations. those who failed to fulfill their quota were beaten and mutilated. to keep the con, the least people under control, they gained set up the so called voice bleak which were punitive detachments that cast terror on the captured country. and its inhabitants, fearing that their subordinates would simply waste bullets hunting for wild animals . the officers demanded that the soldiers gave an answer for every bullet use, and as proof presented a job hand of an african, it was not uncommon when drying to justify the use of the munition. the calling is to have your date of the hands of not only those who were dead, but also of those who were kept alive. the atrocious exploitation of the congo turned into a real genocide. you know, late 20 years the policy of the belgians laid into the depth of nearly 10000000 people alongside the hall across the genocide of the.
