or the, the serial cracks down on a major terrorist offensive and it's northern provinces with russian aviation helping to eliminate $100.00 level. often, the organization that launched this offensive over the weekend is a terraced organization. we certainly do not support that organization in any way, shape or form us an ice giving support to terrorist groups in syria, this by providing millions of dollars for what they called freedom fighters during a civil war in the last decade, 11 on accuses, is relevant breaching the states fire at least $54.00 times in the span of one week . tensions player has the latest ideas, right?

killed 11 people. and they just moved away from the met him on the streets of police as rioters looked at the top of parliament. the georgian president calls for students to join a pro you protesters, who likes page to the city, the . i'm rachel, ruble live, and the rest and capital you're watching r t international was a look at the top new stories from around the world. story and army is finding a major militant offensive that erupt id near the turkish porter in recent days. as russian aviation assist in the operation that reports at least 100 at terrace were eliminated over the past 24 hours of the syrian aero ami with

support of the russian aerospace forces continues its operation to repel terrorist aggression in the live hama, under left by provinces, over the last 24 hours, miss island bombing strikes were conducted on militants, as well as hardware gathering areas, strongholds, fuel and ammunition storage facilities. vehicle columns, rocket launch, systems, and field artillery positions and come on centers. at least 100 terrorists were eliminated. and the statement also emphasized that the actions of a us led anti terrorist coalition are creating dangerous conditions in the syrian aerospace. the fighting has touched. 3 of the countries provinces live a level and him, our militant forces are gaining grounds. and verified footed shows terrorist walking around what is believed to be syrian, president bush, all the thoughts of presidents in a level. the militants can be seen taking videos and touching the personal

belongings left in the home. the writing and turkish foreign ministers have made an entre calling for us to build it in syria that says representatives of russia, turkey a and a ron are set to discuss the escalation on the sidelines of the bill. ha, for a most of ron's honest lloyd pointed the finger at the us and israel said both states are back in the military fighting in syria to most i didn't go to high to according to our information active terrorist groups in syria. i have close ties with the united states and design is regime. and these groups are trying to divert attention from the crimes of design is regime in palestine 11 on they have encouraged the creation of insecurity in syria. when pressed about the support washington provides terrace within syria, the us state department spokesperson denied any involvement. we know that you are against the dream and you are against the h. s h d s a. but in the past,

you supported the levels of the titles that do support them. now the invasion or they are really taking off the categories and see the so we're making clear that we want to see the escalation of the situation. i don't think i could be any more clear about that. and ultimately we want to see a political process for you are right that the organization that launch this offensive over the weekend is a terraced organization designated to search by the united states. um, we certainly do not support that organization in any way, shape or form us working with terrorists in syria. no, you are so given over $500000000.00 to anti government fighters to date with about half of that. so i'm allocated through the syrian train and equip program in 2017 alone, and the obama administration didn't make a secret out of any of this back in 2013 president obama is committed to be helpful in non legal aid in order to help the syrians to be able to manage that. for the

last several months, we have steadily increased our non lethal assistance to more than a $127000000000.00 and that aid is providing food. now. medical kids now and support for local leaders who are trying to lay the groundwork for a stable and a democratic future on please the congress. a majority of democrats and a majority of republicans in both the house and the senate have now voted to support a key element of our strategy. or plan to train and equip the opposition in syria, so they can help push back these terrace. as for 2025, another nearly $150000000.00 us tax dollars are on the table for the same level groups in the form of an anti ices fund. while the us claims that these massive figures are intended to help combat terrorism at the end of the day, it's impossible to know where all this money is going. and much of the free syrian army has at one point or another,

collaborated with terrorist off shoots of isis and al qaeda. because according to america's defense secretary in 2015, there were only 4 or 5 us trained militants actually left across all of syria. and when senator carter was here before this committee in july, he testified that there were only about 60 syrian fighters that had been trained in our train and equip program. can you tell us what the total number of trained fighters remains? it's a small number, and the ones that are in the fight it is a is, is we're talking for 4 or 5. so who exactly are these groups that are likely benefiting from the us tax payers charity? well, one of them is high us terrier. i'll show him a straight up terrorist group and the successor to outside his former proxy and syria. about all new struck, the group is so powerful. the commander of the free syrian army told the new york times back in 2014. but the armies forces couldn't do anything in northern syria

without help. moose rose approval. no free syrian army faction in the north can operate without news for his approval. no sir, i cannot cover every area, so they still need them. but once they take control, they will confiscate all weapons or oblige those factions to pledge allegiance. 3 years earlier, moderate elements of the free syrian army even wrote an alarming letter to the state department, warning us officials. but i'll lose for i was growing at an alarming rate. they also said that many newer and larger brigades were forming under the leadership of extremist. but according to higher career alshaun, his leader, the us has nothing to worry about. because back in 2021, he told pbs that there are no plans to explore jihad to the western world. here recognized your designated as a terrorist by the united states, by the united nations, by mindy, govern. what do you say to them?

the 1st thing that is an unfair characterization, it's a political label that carries no trace of credibility. so we haven't posed any threat to waste and all your things, besides wisdom, no security threat to it will be no economic risk. so not any issue. not only were the reassurances of an actual terrorist enough to ease any worries in washington, but a trump administration official on that same program went as far as to call the tower group and asset put keys at the least. better option of the various options on it live, which is one of the most important places in syria, which is one of the most important places right now in the middle east. at any rate, it's not like the us never knew who they've been working with as early as 2012. jack sullivan blatantly said that al qaeda was on the us a side in syria. c. last item, al qaeda is on our side and syria. otherwise, things have basically turned out as expected. the bigger picture is a lot simpler though. when you stop trying to make all these distinctions between

various terrorist and liberal enough arm to groups in syria, russian foreign minister, 3rd, a lever upset it best back in 2015. it's it looks like a terrorist if it acts like a terrorist, if it walks like a terrorist, if it fights like a terrorist, it's a terrorist. all new straw. hi, terry, all, shaw, moderate rebels extremist. that makes no difference. and one way or another, they're all bank rolled by the us and doing washington? is betty that's correct live now to stephen. say, who any journalist and a political commentator, steven, good to have you on the program with us, washington. you know, it has denied ever supporting terrace in syria, but, but uh, national security advisor, jake sullivan. revelation that will title was on the side of us in 2012 would contradict that. what, what, what are your thoughts? the united states state department and the obama administration that supported at these troubles these 2 years. these mazda, as your colleagues said, 1st of all,

they were called the ceiling for the army in 2011, but day. and there was no other groups named only, it was only the same for the army. and the in the suburbs of it lived, they killed the person from a different sick and all the way, and they just flush the flesh blood. so that's the people who are supported and funded and changed by the united states. i defended them and supported them and trained them from 2011 from day one of just one serious and or on the ceiling government. it's not because it's about for you, the more the more costly is because they celia, how's the foreign policy? they are on site imperialism there on site united states. so the demonize them in the media at the same time, supported the status. first of all, they've called the seen fee army, then the flip to was about the saw into isis didn't with the, with the package about the muscle. now they're called say at the federal shot, but in the end they have the, are the same people. they just changed your name and they changed your flag in

their clothes, but they're the same rather the date or the stomach terrace. and there are when i seen the streets of on a polt sixteen's we'd be goes. but it was becky. the project is done, the fighters for support of funded also by turkey. they have the number one year old with the united states industry. this is a war against a freedom or democracy. this is a war against disputing governments because and this is because the way the attack and the equipment they have, the only can't get it, don't see it intelligent at the world instead of going to like the cd or the tradition of as of right. yeah, i did want to ask you about that, because to your point, the obama administration did openly sponsor the, the so called the free syrian army, providing it was training and equipment. so how likely do think it is that that equipment, those arms and equipment are still being used today? there's still been use and there's still given them the new equipment. it hasn't

stopped yet today when the russian reports are from several media reports state that the, there's unions is for months the rest and media has been saying and other media there in saying that you opinion intelligence that are in it live. that's a little come by themselves. they were ordered to come from the american state department and from the american c. i a to a judge, they're still giving them equipment. they're still giving them the 3 any their student. you've been them to weapons and they're still giving them to orders. they wouldn't have move the semester amount and just a huge hmos and to thousands and uh and occupied on a pool without the okay. and the green lights of turkey and israel and the united states. the western media often labeled these militants who are attacking a level as rebels. even though many of them belong to internationally recognized tara scripts. what would explain that? why would they soften that language?

because they the, because they're in there doing the agenda of the united states to do what's happening in syria is a war. busy stuff just a about the opposition or assuming government. it is a war intelligence war and political more. and also i'm gonna tell you more from one side. so united states, ukraine dirty and israel, on the other hand, it's celia, iran and russia. and that is what's happening when you'll see when you see a scientist misleading from a pull for his life and armenian scientist who is in charge of the syrian research research center. and he was night, right in his head and discussed who's, who has been, who has the interest of that, that's as well when they say on the media non stop, they're interested in the research center. then after the 24 hours that the heads up that the research center skills, that's really interest, we need to see the turkish when you see the united states, that is all the, the art supported by the, as by the west and the of the,

the are taking the orders from them, they are doing their agenda. once that wasn't starting the was in the city, i didn't use them in libya as indeed them to just move them from one country to another, or the garden to move the big pots of them from syria to libya when the was finished . and in libya, these few sent them back. okay, and i do want to point out though that turkey is calling for the civilization of the situation in that syria. but stevenson, who ne, thank you for your time. that was stephen stephanie, a journalist, and the political commentator. well, 11 on the israel has blood truce has been pushed to the brains by idea of strikes and the country itself that killed 11 people on monday, reports from 11 on accuse idea of strikes of directly targeting civilian buildings, while israel is timing. otherwise, israel has said it acted to towards impossible hezbollah attacks on their forces, still present in the southern lebanon and the goal on heights. but those acts are

mounting and the lebanese problem it's bigger says the total number of is really t, as far violations have. now exceeded 50 for the actions of these really forces are a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement we call on the monitoring committee established to oversee the implementation of the ceasefire. to address these continuous breaches. now exceeding $54.00 were less than a week since that sci fi agreement came into effect and is what has been accused of $52.00 breaches of more than 60 villages. 60 settlements remain occupied by these variety forces with them refusing to allow residents to retire. and these are real cool settlements as well, couldn't even end doing the most intense of the fighting. now, all to you has witnessed a number of those sci fi breaches. the is where the forces open far as we were, filming outside the village of maroon out. alas,

we've seen and heard at low flying drones over the city of turn, every game, part of this psychological war against the people on gunfire on the outskirts of the city. where we've driven along many of the villages and the towns in southern lebanon on the scale of the destruction. the magnitude is quite something . there's not a single settlement that remains untouched by, as well as war on level. and we've seen most and churches destroyed hospitals by the damage. remember, of course, these are precision st likes. in the city of time, we spoke to one woman who was outside to home, completely destroyed. but despite losing everything, she continues to support, the resistance may get it, but we want to go back to our homes and live that i like i'm and we already knew that we have to go back with them. we have young fighters on the front and that will be have hezbollah. we have the amal newsletter, where we have the presidency. that ma'am, and we feel victoria is all about the we are saddened by all of those. but we want

to go home and we weren't give a problem and we will come out on top and stronger fashion. now that all the calls, titles of tragedy, just behind us, is the exact spot where to place you on what killed it is, right? the strike just i was before that sci fi came into effect, but there will some remarkable titles, including one mind, a civil defense worker who is reported dead yet returned to try a very much alive and him the but i mean, we were among those who remained here for the entire we heard the news of our death stuff that i was told that i was killed here because i work with the civil defense within the hour rosella health association. a lot of fun, but thank god for them. i am fine and safe for us to share and we'll continue to serve our family on the heart of people talking about the end. our loved one is for hey, toyota prize itself is a city of resistance. this is a city that is proud and defined. a city is wounded, yet not defeated. the people here are acutely aware of the fragility of

a sci fi. the israel seems to have no intention of abiding by. this is these really for all to the entire southern that but on and as lebanese civilians return home to the south, they are looking to honor friends and family members killed in idea of bombings and bring them back to their villages for burial. that israel has restricted a number of towns along the lebanese border, hindering the mourners efforts. people have described their english at leaving the bodies of loved ones in the temporary cemeteries. it can't live. i am crying over lebanon, over those who died and they're still blood. i'll show, but what else could i cry about? they did what they did to us. oh, sure. the there are some martyrs whose bodies weren't delivered to their villages. it's due to the ongoing is rarely aggression on this land. the and because other families displacement the refrigerators that preserve dead bodies of hospitals are

full for the lot. so we were forced to perform temporary burials a sudden lucky and we hope the crisis will end soon. so we can go and bury them properly. as soon as possible, because truly leaving them buried in a temporary place like this is very difficult until now we haven't been able to go to our village and our hearts are burning because our martyrs are buried in this manner. they is really foreign minister, has insisted id of strikes on 11 on our in forcing the seats fire. not in breach of it for me to learn more and keep up to date with the events unfolding and loving on . go to our website, r t dot com. the may, him has rocked the george and capital for a 5th night in a row as pro western protesters continue their attacks on police since a police, a country hasn't intended, commander of defense forces is now calling on students to join in her bed 2 hours to be elected parliament for delaying us. that's enough for the street fatality. as

escalated with protesters, launching fireworks and other projectiles, at least 2 are retaliating with tear gas and rubber bullets. to disperse the increasingly violent crowd. the the boy back behind the evening and going to give you a good view of the fireworks that have been shot towards the police coming towards us. running away you from coming to us and we're gonna have to move as well. because things, you know,

i think i cool walk in the place in the process is just fine. and now the thing is we're going to need to move okay, well we just got caught up completely and not to just to we've had to run down to it. so lots of people in the groups and protests is trying to help those who are u shaped by the 2 guys coming lined in poor and special ed records over our eyes to detroit, an aide with the bindings. and my goodness, me getting cool back in not really reminds me of the days back in power steering

the other best with this was a pretty much an everyday events, but the moment we just got to say, so we shall see down here about 2 gas keeps coming towards the protests, as some of the places the police are trying to push the purchase is a fall far away from the problem. its tens of thousands of protesters have been coming out night often night. this is now the fishing noise of violence since the georgia in 5 minutes. the said that his country would be cool thing. who told us to essentially your opinion at least until 2028 and the processes have come on. no, i talk to night cuz what are they trying to do is to open the government. they showed you that the elections that were held in october, the georgia dream when you 54 percent. that was confirmed by the electoral commission here in georgia which is independent. they don't accept that. and they say that those elections are for to the only one that premier minister to stand down and they being supported not just by that for you are being president. but by

politicians in the you as well, who are meeting the possibility of sanctions against top politicians here in georgia. as a result of the fact that they won't stand on and they won't hold fresh elections tensions scenes. the last few nights fireworks being thrown by the protests is towards the police and not to guest is coming and coming and coming it. does me feel as if this is likely to end soon? we know that in the next few weeks, the pro european president, this done does, she has said she was the doctor who she says, she's the democratically elected person in the country. she was proud to be handed over to her to the pressure election can be held in the protest to say they going to keep coming out nights, often noise often nights until they go through and is overthrown. told me to even stay here and to receive aussie we heard from the chief editor of

a news agency in the republic of georgia, he said western powers have been encouraging the riots in an attempt to overthrow the government in tbilisi. i saw cisco this video. this is an attempt to organize by the european union european structures, as well as some e u. member states, such as the baltic states, france and germany. i would call it the revolution of foreign agents because 11 parties united in full blocks, as well as non governmental organizations, all of them, a european grantees, and fulfill that will. this is a neo fascist, to attempt, because the most dangerous policies are involved. they are difficult to resist during all 4 days of the protests, not a single leader of the opposition policies is visible. they only sponsor it with cash receipt from abroad. this revolution will not take place of cost. nevertheless, it's go is the same as it has always been to provoke a wall with russia to open the so called 2nd front, which has not been possible for 12 years under this government of the coming georgia dream. it turns out that georgia has been trying in vain all these years to

comply with the requirements of the european union meet to european standards, fulfilled their requirements and disappearance constitution. and often we said that we are suspending the opening of negotiations with the you. the block is not left on the country, it wants to change the government. so there is no way we can kick the e you out of here right now. they won't even leave here by force. at least $800.00 civil servants turned out to be to handed faceless agents of the west and supporters of psychiatry, special services. today they are roll, reveals diplomats resigning today. all the foreign ministers of georgia during the new government turned out to be traitors. the protest is armed with french, made military sling shots and stables the situation. it is difficult, but the government is optimistic. a move to restore sovereignty. that's how the leader of the central african nation of chad has described. ending the country's defense deal with the former colonial power france

. similar to disagreement has become obsolete completely obsolete, no longer corresponding to the security, geo, political and strategic realities about time. you know, to all legitimate expectations regarding the full expression of a silver and take in the same way. it does not bring us any real added military value on the ground. where we alone face buried in serious challenges including terrorist attacks. and several african nations have expelled french troops in recent years and a push back against the waning influence of western powers on the continent were getting a fossil molly and these air have all cut ties with paris and have sought instead to strengthen their partnerships with russia. earlier this year, chad also denied authorization for us true pre deployment and incentive goals. liter probably stated that there would soon be no more french forces in his country . well, just 2 days after announcing his decision to cut defense sizes, france,

chad celebrated. the national holiday was a grad, a military parade of officials attended the festivities. the country's leadership has insisted that only child can make its own decisions that die. chad must be autonomous. and independent, it must take all military decisions in all decisions relating to relations between the states. what only chance should decide we spoke with the local journalist who described to african nations are moving away from the remnants of their colonial past. you said that transition towards more autonomy governance could help prevent interference and abuses by foreign powers on the continent. why did it take so long after all? i mean, this is like around 60 years already, that african punches of the prison. so it's crazy that it took so long for people to understand that the states, if you want to build anything inside of that state, that needs to be protected,

to have an old me. so it has it as b for all this time the rest of the world, especially the western world, i would say, would think it was no more. that's that false, gibbs get the military discount as uh, if you have a functioning of speeds, then you've got also a full i mean you really even need to invest in having also its protection. and i believe that is the experience anything rhonda, so active as of 10 african i can only welcome chats and all of these countries to to take responsibility of their own destiny. 100 biden's, prosecutors are pushing back against the going us presidents claims that legal actions against a son were politically motivated. joe biden, pardon him on sunday for any crimes. he might have committed over the last decade

of us, despite mountains of evidence, hunter's own guilty play, and joe biden himself assuring the public that he would not let his son off the hook. will you accept? the jury's outcome? the verdict, no matter what it is. yes, and have you ruled out a pardon for your son? yes, you have this question before it was asked of me not too long ago couple of weeks ago. and i was very clear and i said now is there any possibility it's still in it's still a no, it will be a no, it is a no. and i don't have anything else to add. will he pardon his sons? no. we've been asked that question multiple times. our answer stands, which is now the my colleague of our associate discuss the hunter part in earlier with our take contributor to our read. she says the decision also protects this father attempting to sweep away crimes and corruption committed during biden's time in the white

house. well, i don't think there was ever a change of heart. i think he always planned to pardon him if he was in this position. and you know, it's quite obvious, this is a part of a bigger issue. this pardon means that all the way back to 2014, any previous crimes, he can't be adjudicated for. so this not only clears and bite and it clears a 100 by me clears by. so this is to protect all that corruption, right? and, and so here you go, but you know, they have pocket se, se timony as way corinne at those white house press briefings, would say no, no, he's not going to win all the time. they knew very well. as you know, i can tell you from personal experience working for biking, he honestly believes that there's the law for everyone else and the law for him. and this is an example, rory of a 2 tiered just the system right here. yeah, yeah. his place plain to see isn't.
