the news, the joe abided, the part of the se, found the hunter, despite the previous flag, just not to do so. at the move shields the president's son, and from any time 80 crimes. he is accused off in the past 10 years, including corrupt and allegations and ukraine, the to a mile into believe, seen as an acute reigns on the streets of the georgian capital web pro e u. protest. as long as the draws of fireworks simply deck files of police and the parliament building. we report from the center of the riot. 6 the

assyrian army pushes back against terrorist forces in how my province in why the rhonda fletcher is its full support to president the side in the fight against the shock militant offensive, the hello the welcome to our team to national news sense of what the latest update i have mike up, watch it. now we start with the breaking news. this, our been following the due by didn't, has issued a pattern for his on the hunt despite previously ruling out such a move. explaining his decision, the president claimed of his funds that persecution was politically motivated. no reasonable person who looks at the facts of hunter's cases can reach any other

conclusion than hunter was singled out. only because he is my son. and that is wrong. i hope americans will understand why a father and a president would come to this decision. so let's discuss this now live with our to correspond and how that fits you. i follow the not joining me right here. not as good to have you join me. so we see a president biden pod any, his son didn't want to hear him previously say he wouldn't do that. well, having a 50 days left and office job, i didn't didn't 5 part in his son from what we've just had. he stated that his son was prosecuted for political reasons and the charges and hunters case came about any of the several of biden's political opponents actually instigate them in order to attack and to attack him, oppose his election. and there are 2 things that are important to mentioned. the 1st one is the hunter biden is the 1st son of a sitting us precedent to face criminal trial. and the 2nd one is that there's so

much i didn't actually personally insisted that he's not going to use his political power to protect his son. and as early as last month, the white house is a state of both a double downs on that decision. let's take a message that means you accept the jury's outcome though no matter what it is. yes . and have you been without a pardon for your son? yes. you have this question before it was asked of me not too long ago, couple weeks ago. and i was very clear and i said now is there any possibility it's still in it still or no, it will be a no it it is a no. and i don't have anything else to add. will he pardon his son? no, we've been asked that question multiple times. our answer stands, which is now to all right, it's been a few hours now since the news built. what reaction are we seeing so far? well, actually, the press, the new elected us president donald trump,

actually condemned by to this decision stating that this is an abuse and miscarriage of justice. and he will say questions whether this positive applies to the j 6 hostages. and these are the writers that have been accused of storming the us capital back in january of 2021. and even a day off to the election, the white house still insisted that joe biden is not going to use this political power to protect his son. but from what we see now is that, as republicans are preparing to take over, the white house by them decided to use his 50 days, remaining and power to protect his son and, and on he was signed. it was quite different to you to sign a full and unconditional pardon which includes any charges that have resulted in convictions called was any crime from january 2014 to december, 2020 full unconscious period of alleged volumes and corruption in ukraine. so again, the slip to a power clearly made by didn't change his mind. right? one with this really gets one curios mentioning this period of time between

20142024. why? what's the dimension of this this period of time on? how about the corruption? well, this will comes because the by the family was, was one of the beneficiaries of the us back who in 2014 and ukraine, also known as the mike don. and showed the off to the, to hunt to buy didn't actually became a member of food, of the directors of one of new cranes largest energy companies for this month. and he reports, and he was getting a yearly salary of $1000000.00 for the job to didn't even know how to do. and he wasn't on experience for and besides that on to bite and was not being us for help on behalf of the company to secure profitable energy contracts. and this was, while he was being the son of ben, vice president joe biden. and the suspicious and actions drew attention of ukraine, specifically to jennifer old, who then decided to investigate the saw that and in light of these investigations actually, and joe biden possibly came, visited ukraine and threatened the government the if the prosecutor is not fired

for these investigations. by done himself with caught funding, street crane on, you may also how do we know this will fight an ashley himself openly brought about that mistake. listen to that. i'm telling you we're not getting the $1000000.00. i said you're not getting the building. i'm going be leaving here. i think it was what 6 hours i look as i'm leaving the 6 hours and the prosecutor is not fired. you're not getting the money. oh, son of a bitch. fired. and they put in place someone who was solid at the time. so even if the investigation is back in monday, just to find something, the status, pause and means home to bite and will never be held accountable for any of this life away to see how these, these pan out. i'm a disability. nice. thank you so much for your time right now for my director of the inside governmental affairs for the us trade representative's team. gail says

that the pot and it's not just about getting honda out of trouble, but the president biden to well, 1st of all he had repeatedly promised that he would not pardon his son. is administration had promised he wouldn't pardon his son, and he didn't just pardon them for the crimes for which he has been charged and convicted. it's over a 10 year period that dates back to some crimes that are beyond the statute, limitations. it also your covers up the, the money that he was making from a reasonable, from ukraine, from his 4 and do you think, much of which was apparently going to the big guy, joe biden. and keep in mind, this is the time period that wouldn't include when joe biden was bragging about telling ukraine that if they didn't stop the investigation into 100 biden's dealings that he would cut off usa cut off u. s. military a. the interesting thing is that by him receiving this, pardon, he is no longer shielded from having to answer questions. he can't play the 5th amendment to not incriminate himself since there is no incrimination possible since

he's been pardon. he will now be forced to answer questions about his father's dealings and perhaps other family members, unless joe biden takes the next broad step of pardoning himself and under the us constitution, president has brought the hours to pardon virtually anybody for any federal crime except for impeachment so it is entirely possible that the next big few drops will be joe biden. pardon, making himself now it was he had sent now the knights, the 4th in the row of chaotic scenes on the streets of the georgia and the capital to police. see with pro western protest as have been attacking police with fireworks stones and glass objects. how far would they say the $21.00 offices where injured overnights taking the total to a $115.00 in the 4 days of valid? how about the use new foreign policy chief kyle kyle: as describe the right of this as quite a boat peaceful protest as now? let's take a look at what europe's calling comes. demonstration the

no. yeah, the george and prime minister pointed the finger. i broke souls accusing it of destabilizing the political landscape of his country and trying to bring about the crew similar to what happened in ukraine a decade ago. of the countries parliament has set the 14th of december as a date to pick a new president. but the incumbent head of state is refusing to stand down when hot tub expires are to sell us the shallow dimansky report from the protest. not so high may might be able to get a delay on the fact that the police are inside the building and they all

the building the online the, the, using the well as well in the middle as well. just read it to you as a freezer trying to keep pushing these questions away. as you can tell,

it's difficult to do because it's just burning is right and there's literally nothing you can do about it except for drawing dead away and try to get some fresh eye. but really, at least for just as a very few remaining roy index to the police goldens, which you know too far away from us. but yeah, so before you start to do anything, we can just get the process. this is 1st as quickly as possible, as you can see they're looking for is it still storing fireworks and then. ringback really feels as if the, the tensions are rough, shifting massively of the protests that they don't think the government is legitimate, uninspired, it's you sending in to find a pro 49. the

. 6 the the and to the middle is now 6 days in to us stop to risk defensive, bad court. mainly by surprise, syria and all these now pushing back against the militant forces in the north west and how my province president boss, are on the side, has pledged to eradicate terrorism throughout the entire territory office country. the serial not to larry and alma,

the vehicles have the advantage in the northern part of the province with infantry forces clearing towns previously occupied by the tower groups. tonka collins are also set to be forming a for a push towards a level one easily 0. and don't list the height of most if i sent this report. as we all know that more than 60 percent of the neighborhoods are under the control of the ottomans, the groups and the doors to groups. but the celia and the army and others and forces of try to avoid all to uh, to prevent them from installing in the city and installing inside the as high as in the city. but unfortunately, they are missing some of the funds in the 1000 of these. and also it's a vision, especially in the other 5, which is the city which is controlled by because of the city and the democratic forces. we also like to, to,

to know more about the amount of $74.00 and once heavy to disability and that, but the, the position of the city at home is not good after 4 days or $55.00 days that celia on me is trying to re control the, the, the, to the, the f alpha. how about proven, said the city and the inter and most of the villages and area of the room was the taxes by the to those to do, at least in the, in the few hours that go, they say the into the home uh into the and then the north and culture side, but what this is was nice to see and how do we control this city? very well and entered the i looked on uh and also cut off some of the other areas in the notes in oklahoma. but let's cross now live to independent investigating done list based in damascus, vanessa bailey, vanessa is good to have you join me now. so we're seeing all of these reports about

the situation on folding in the north of syria. what about the capital itself, where you are, is the impact being felt that to is not really i'm in oscar, the initial social media panic. that was very much i'm for the fight even by western social media. i'm picking up on reports from a terrorist media agencies. the ever thing has come down to a large degree. and there have been reports of cruise in damascus, and i can reassure everyone, but the muskets it's com. it's are absolutely as normal. all right, now share with us how concerned you are about these developments. president assad has said that he will crush the terrorist forces. but how easy of a task would that be? so it's not going to, i'm not going to, um, you know, and let's say sugar carts,

what is going on? it's a very difficult situation. the syrian army is, let's say, back in control, i'm not convinced that they lost control in the beginning. there may have been security breaches. there may have been elements within the front line of books or in our balmy's or k used. but ultimately they reacted to that with, through the forces from inside the center of the laptop to avoid clashes that would ultimately impact on civilians the and withdrew to let's say, a kind of a fall perimeter around overlapped uh, creating if you like a kind of funnel or interim perimeter around the level of where they can target the terrorist without again impacting on civilians. the terrorists were then drawn into a kind of cauldron, into, as you've mentioned in northern ha,

the national defense forces. and some of the syrian on the brigades were already done to prevent them going any further. and then of course, we saw the reinforcements from the syrian army coming to to aid and abet those front lines, bringing heavy artillery and tanks. and so for me, it appears now that the army is back under control. of course, there are some very great situation sto inside a laptop, but i think they were right to do what they did because that civilians are being uh, let's say less persecuted or less affected by classes and they would have been have the army actually remained inside the city or that the southern re, to enough conflict just syria has also seen the rapid richard to the spotlight of the wide helmets and g o with its questionable reputation. what are your thoughts on this you know, that's, i think,

or he knows very well that i followed the white helmet narratives from the very beginning and expose them to be a c i a m. i 6 operation funded by many of the countries that were involved in the regime change operations. again, syria that began in 2011 the white helmets emerged in 2013. they were established in turkey and jordan and, and then made use of, let's say, a proxies inside syria to increase their infiltration into syria and then the able them then to provide birds white bushing for the terrorist on groups dominated by isis. ok, and produce the majority of the propaganda to criminalize the syrian government and their allies, of course, including russia. and by that i'm talking predominately about the alleged chemical, the types that we know have been defunct, and discredited. all right, now,

fast forwarding 10 years after, how do you have feeling the wide helmets will be used in this new escalation? or i think we'll see a similar m o from them. i don't think we're going to see any change. we're already seeing videos of them rescuing children, and i do have to put that into quotation marks. the kids having worked extensively on the grounds in the areas that were occupied by the white helmets alongside this were front as it was then now hyatt, tardy ocean. and i seriously didn't find one civilian testimony to corroborate the idea of the white helmet square were saving any civilians whatsoever. their role was to provide support for the arms groups and to fight alongside their own groups. and as i said, provide the propaganda that would criminalize the syrian government and justify for the western proxy military intervention and economic and

measures against syria. so i don't expect to see any change in the methods and potentially when we say another false flag, another chemical attack to further increase the worst and intervention or to a kitchen prevention. or even though we can't rule out as ratings, direct uh, intervention on behalf of the tours or another us as a, it's no surprise that many times wouldn't launch and offensive right now. i see you as allies rush and you knew ron have their attention elsewhere. why do you make of this? well, i doesn't that demonstrate exactly what the us thinks it's doing. so i think the us is basically saying, we think that the roster is okey by didn't ukraine. we think that the wrong is occupied elsewhere because we're creating those diversions. and i think it's very foolish of the us to think that iran and allies of syria. i'm not going to respond

to what is effectively the attempt to destabilize the heart of that resistance, access against a western and zionist occupation of what is our territory of lebanese upon this thing in yeah, many, syria, n 0 can in fact uh, overnight forces from the popular mobilization forces have entered syria to join the northern front against the service for all right, let's come to this tab now where some reports say that terrorist groups in syria are allegedly receiving us support. now, are there any grounds to those claims? i'm so lately i'm and if you go back to the very beginning of the war against syria, you will remember maybe a president obama is or a timber sycamore operation,

where they were allegedly providing arms and or support for 500 motorists rebels. and again, i will put that in court, of course, mysteriously there is on those vehicles that equipment fall into the hands of isis and eventually of all try it out because the free 3 and army, which was deemed the motor or both, um, were power multiplied by al qaeda that were fostered in iraq by the us and isis grew out of a rock inside the sea. i block sites in a rock. so the u. s. has been, you know, alongside its allies in the region, including key tech here, of course was bringing tears and from libya, training them in turkey before allowing them to invite syria and those for gauge. the tory to also read for guides were the ones under the control of turkey who invited the areas of eastern and southern are that far back in 2012. all right,

we have to leave here now vanessa. i'll be independent investigative journalist based in damascus. thank you so much for your time. you're welcome. meanwhile, the president aside has well come. he runs a foreign minister to the capital, the most cost, not to ron's top diploma to reaffirm his country's support for syria as fight against terrorism. administered is expected to travel onto the key and next that we discussed the positions of to ron and non caroll with all correspondence back use of july lee. and the cna can do you want him to go out for an minister said that ah, syria has raised much worse challenges before. like when ices and other groups drag the country into a nashville journal. more about the small spots back then he said uh the r gc was for some offered vitals and much needed help to come back to our,

the tourist in syria. and of course in iraq back then, and now he said they're ready to take on whatever comes their way this time around as well. so he made it clear that this time around, iran will extend whatever help is needed. he also said that's different resistance groups in that region will also jump from the why in to offer syria, they needed assistance. and we actually heard that iraq, you popular mobilization force is also known as the hash. do, and shall be, were dispatched to serial on sunday to join the fight against bobby s p s or the hey, i'm definitely not strong in serious naturally the situation is difficult. but what is important is that the spirit, courage, and resistance that we observed in mr. bashar al assad are admirable. this is the same spirit that existed in him in previous years, with the resistance and perseverance of the previous difficult stages. the

terrorist groups were certainly suppressed at that time. now they will also be confronted. we had a close exchange of views with mr. bashar al assad about the details of the activities that are taking place and the support that needs to be provided. i told him very clearly the message of the islamic republic of iran, the message of resistance, steadfastness, and support and backing by iran of the government, the army, the people of syria, and mister bashar al assad himself. now as report suggests that the jihad, the militants, are rapidly advancing across here we are just waiting for administer, are all set on sunday that his country has no plans to back any factions involved and the current syrian complex. he made it clear that as well as not directly engaged in military actions there, but that's um it's, it's actively observing and monitoring the situation in syria. he said, that's something that's uh prime minister benjamin netanyahu also echoed the

however to want does not buy that as well, has time. and again targeted our gc members and syria and has consistent. we accused it one of using syria as a pathway to deliver its arms to his boss. so that's why i checked on that, argues that any turmoil in the, our country will of benefit as well. uh it was parliament speaker, mom, a bugger of honey. bob. recently sat and actually repeated these planes, while warning that's resorting to terrorism will only back fire on israel. under western backers. we condemn the attacks by terrorist groups on the left of a north west and syria, immediately after the cease fire in lebanon. the timing of these developments indicates a zionist american agenda to make our region unsafe any put in this situation. it is necessary for the wise men of the region to act assault, this dangerous conspiracy account to the actions of terrorists in syria and the region. we strongly support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of syria and

support the government and people of this country against terrorist groups. now yes, and what have we've heard from colorado, but the development agency where so far we have not received a great deal of confirmed reports. but we do understand that there have been suggestions made not just by officials or diplomats within the turkish capital, but across the country as well. now one thing that is important to note something that many charge i don't know. i know this would agree with suggests that many are viewing the developments in syria. with the spotlight specifically focused on is real avail to capture the broader conflict or the context that is the war in syria . and this is my own career has over the course of the past year, specifically speaking especially come forth and try to explain the importance of reconciliation and reproach meant between and correct and damascus. the we are the reality at the given time is that under has not come forth and suggested that it is

that it green light, this operation that it is backing of the militants in the north. but the one thing that does come here is that on to this position suggests that it is also an attempt at diplomacy. one thing we understand is churches concerns. of course, besides security concerns suggests that bunker was very, very ottomans, by way of moscow actually. and we understand that the visit by the divani and for a minister is going to be a very important one. it's going to be crucial to understand how things move forward and as to what the target site is saying. we can understand or at least expect some form of a statement from the chargers. diplomats and search officials to paying some sort of an image as opposed to much of the discourse that is taking place online and across media outlets throughout the globe. but more thing that is important. we're going through some of the turkish newspapers, but listening to jerkins journalist to better understand what their position on the matter is. we understand that the given moment there's a newspaper by the name of her yet it's a pro government newspaper ident accessory essentially posted an opinion piece suggesting that the syrian president bush or all of us have may actually come forth

and accept the invitation by the church. president that syria or damascus may be interested in sitting down at the table and negotiate terms. because we understand that being given climates is one that is concerning. and although this is of course, to an extent, something that could favor on color, we do understand that the developments especially pertaining to that of t j. k. affiliated groups within the north is a matter of concern for uncle. so it is within the encores best interest to ensure that there is a state of stability within the country. and that is also in vine with some of the values and doctrines. that mosque outputs for us as well as turnaround. so we will be following this meeting closely to better understanding what is actually happening, but does on to the wants. and is the prospect of further discourse possible that we have plenty of other stories for you on our website r t does come along the stories you can find there is picky scandal truly in canada, over police, treating the monument to a nancy s as division of the woman mario denied me who allegedly the face that is

now facing up to 10 years behind bars. you can head those over to our website, archie, dot com for details. a live stay with arch international for all the latest i'm around the world. thanks for watching and i'll see you again the hey everybody, welcome back to moscow. a welcome back to the last couple mules. i'm still shay

bowes and oregon is still on.
