the, the 300, the militants have been eliminated in northern syria over the past. they are fighting, says russia points to ukrainian involvements in the violence. her uprising, tulsa, washington brushes often turns that the seeds fire in london on his cracking is the idea of police. the footage of fresh strikes on the country 1000. our ports bonnet is one of the 1st journalists to reach the area, bringing us exclusive reports from on the ground. this is the end of the road for us. behind us is the village of maroon ross. this is a video is still on p 5 by is way the forty's they were refusing to allow local to return home, even finding out that a breach of the agree seeing star cleaning house in georgia where opposition

figures and western back to n g o is reported to be behind protest, there are being rounded up following raids on their offices and political turmoil in paris as the government is ousted and a no confidence built by parliament for the 1st time in over 60 years. putting more pressure on president kron with many lawmakers, calling for him to step down to the you are watching archie international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. we begin in syria where the defense ministry says at least 300 militants have been eliminated in the past day. of fighting alone. well, that's as state for us to secure the city of law and prepare to repel any future attacks. the

working in tandem, 3 in ground troops and russian air forces are said to events like the heavy terrorist losses in the north weapons and armor, the vehicle as belonging to the to very how strong do you, how does for you for also captured the syrian army officer says the troops won't rest until the whole country is free of the militants. as easily thought, the defense points of being reinforced in the northern country side of hama, to support and assist the advancing forces with the equipment and fight to the syrian army will not stop it's operation and city until the last inch about territory is free entities. the community where at the know of an entrance of a city of how much funds and continues in several directions around the city. questions that taking place between this theory and all the interest groups you must, these groups are trying to enter the city all outside. as we can see in mount zion now, i believe is still under the control of the syrian military for certain tibbetts. he is also noticing, at the moment the destroying king mount cap for us on

a terrace organizations trying to strengthen that position, serial and brushing aircraft to deliberately attacking the positions of these grades. and thereby preventing their attempts to gain a foothold in a 2nd. question is also continuing in the village of catherine, located to the east of a city of time. uh since yesterday evening of fighting has continued between the siri know me on service groups and the direction of san juan and the northern direction. it is renaissance, you call them a hobby. the intensity of hostilities in the some direction is increasing. as terrorist groups are trying to a dollars to be east and break through this site, the 3rd sent you to enter the vintage of custody mailed you about the breakthrough in this direction in order to encircle the signal from the noise. however, the siri nami, is still doing everything comfortable to prevent the tears from advancing and showing them with various fire weapons attacks. some of the supply lines of terrorist groups continue, and syrian and russian at crockett company focused on striking supply line the for the northern suburbs, the time as well as the southern part of the suburbs of it, the treating, the village as american caution coolly strikes to being carried out on by c,

supply lines of terrorist organizations and on that concentration sentence, in order to stop the terrace from advancing further towards the city of drama and to reduce the intensity of their attacks aimed to capturing the city was to present flashes of still ongoing in several directions, there is relative calm in the north, alabama, while the fighting is becoming more intense and the east of the city. of fighting is still ongoing and 2 of syria's northern provinces for the jump, terrorist building fortifications and preparing for new classes and live as emerging online. and one of the main forces fighting the syrian army as high as to where else some of this group broke off from the news were front, which used to be a branch of al qaeda un, along with russia. and the us are, i'm going those to designate as a tower group. well that said to me, all sean is currently working with the syrian national army, formerly known as the free syrian army, which washington provides support to russia has raised concerns that cab is also

assisting the militant group. you can also, sometimes we condemn in the strongest possible terms, this attack carried out by terrorist to the united nations security council. because recognized decided, specifically we draw attention to the fact that among the foreign fighters, there was clearly a so called ukrainian trace interest. given the information we have received about the cooperation between the special services of the key virginia, minneapolis and the militants of the terrorist organization. talk for your all shaw, including the transfer of drones experience and their use and so on. this is not the 1st and unfortunately, as far as we know, not the last region where the kias terrorist regime will apply its criminal experience before it was african countries. and now it is syria. there is no doubt that they would not have dared such an audacious action without the incitement and full support of external forces that want to provoke a new round of arms confrontation in syria to a us based and g o that supports. as long as in syria seems to have confirmed,

she has a link to the terrorist group to nation syrian rebels on ukrainians. are fighting for the country to be free of tyranny, an outside occupation. it's natural for them to coordinate the fact that ukrainians are involved. nobody should harbor any illusion so that this is somehow an initiative by ukraine on it. so happens. know that again, ukraine is really under the thumb of the west as well. that's a tool, nato. and so by virtue of ukrainian officers and trainers being working side by side, it's not surprising that nazis would be there with these as law making extreme as all they're doing. so with the blessing and support of the west. so i'm not shocked by it at all. if the she was on the other foot, if the roles were reversed, different russia was providing the kind of support that the united states is providing to keep it for us. it was providing that support in mexico. the united

states would view that as an active board would retaliate. you know, i have candidly, i think ross has been entirely too patient throughout this because they interpret russian patient as weakness and that that's why this is continuing to be a bite. and the binder ministration is basically trying to set the world on fire before it leaves office. now i think they're doing a pretty good job of setting it on fire. meanwhile, reports as well as violating it's shaky truth with has well are, are increasing by the day and never let never the less to see sar is holding. washington says it's thanks to the peace mechanisms established together with paris . a task with some important about what we were able to set up working with france . we have an oversight mechanism if there are a concerns that one party of the other is violating the ceasefire. it comes to us and one way or another. we engage the parties. that's exactly what's happened to

cease fires is holding and we're using the mechanism. it was established when any concerns with arisen about any alleged or 40 violations of the same day, blank and made his statement. the idea of released footage of its error strikes on the southern lebanese area of mazda all zune. a separate is really striking. there are reportedly claimed the lives of 3 civilians are 2 states sweeney has reached the south of the country before any other western media to bring us a series of exclusive 1st slip reports from the area southern lebanon, just days after the si, fi came into effect village of the village, town of the town house streets to into rubble, hospitals, multics and churches among the many buildings destroyed by he's ready to invite you . does this tell you p, and seems not a single settlements across 711 and remains on touched. the summit of destruction lingers in the dust where they were once buildings thousands of are turned off to

the cease fire defying is right the warnings many not knowing whether the homes are still standing. kona the seeking of an a tool realistic of a 1996. when is well open 5 when a you and compound lives in ruins. the model k is the same so the king ca, for a model or have really bombarded during israel's latest on salt. this has been job, i will close to the board that very much on the front line of as well as for on lebanon, on the road hay. from time we policies, village off the village, many of which were reduced to rubble. these are the villages as well. has ordered presidents not to attend to, but they have defined those orders returning to the homes, returning to that land. now just behind me, its been to battle hospital. it was very by the time is in and is ready to strike. remember, these all precision strikes? so this was deliberately targeted, a wall crime and remarkably,

the hospital remained open during the most intense of the fighting. treating though is wounded in the past. i thought i saw it, it is real, as usual, cannot destroy the resistance or the fighters. so it resorts to attacking medical facilities such as the l. rosella association, and hospital surveys. what does the hospital have to do with what is happening? is it a military target? the hospital is for the wounded and since not for anything else, not if the wounded or civilians were injured, military personnel do not normally go to the hospital. chung, since it seems nothing was bad d as righty. brutality as well. they're all no red lines. you can see here, behind me, this is a most that was destroyed and it is right, the strike we've spoken to local people here. and they say that there are still 2 bodies yet to be recovered from the impact side, the clear operations where they are on the way now since the sci fi came into effect, we know in a nearby village, there were $47.00 bodies still to be recovered. in another,

17 bodies were under the rubble. 10 of those have been recovered. but this is the grim reality now, facing the lebanese people as a slow, the stall to return to the villages in the south. now the grim discovery of those killed and use radio and still continues the official desktop just under $4000.00 likely to rise as we drive across town. the sky of the damage becomes apparent. well, this is the ancient and the historic soup area of venture bell. this is an area where people would come to do the shopping. this is a civilian area and we've spoken to locals. who said that because the is ladies couldn't defeat the resistance. they stopped in targeting civilian areas. part was psychological war against the people are just the most of our enemies, 6 to prove its strength through the killing of children and innocent people in the destruction that follows what we show the is really, and i mean it's supporters that no matter what happens to people, i mean, no matter how much destruction in killing there is a pause,

we will remain steadfast and we will remain on our lamb on this. we will not leave it and no one can occupy us. oh, and when i got back i was relieved because we want to thank god, but i was a sad because of the people i lost and i hope to cease fire less and the violent stops at the how would you any ends with access to settlements belong to, to the presence of his right, the soldiers who are behind us is ben jaleco. this was the 2nd of intense fighting between the is ready on forces on the has been a resistance. this is the end of the road for us. behind us is the village of maroon ross. this is a village is still occupied by is why the forces they were refusing to allow local to return home even firing. got them in breach of the agree sci fi, almost on cue, as well. open fire, the gunshots continued as we made our way to safety, as well continues to won't coupon marino rus, even though the seas 5 remains in place to destruction. continues bulldozers, tad on a mosque. villages are unable to return. and only those media organizations embedded

with the as ready troops allowed access, much to the children of the lebanese authorities. somewhere between 40100000 homes, have been damaged or destroyed, the estimated cost of the destruction. $13000000000.00 us dollars fig. unlikely to rise, but the people remain dignified with tony, with their heads held high and content you in to support the resistance waterfront . you all seize. fi continues to hold for now. this is these really for all to the southern lebanon, the, to the republic, to of georgia. now we're officials say, protest instigators sponsored by western and g o, as had been arrested, and their offices and re to the after 7 consecutive nights of rioting in the capital of the countries opposition once a rerun of october's parliamentary election that kept the ruling party in place of protest turn the violence after the government suspended you ex sessions. how exciting political pressure from brussels are to charlotte. davinsky brings us the

latest from the police. say, hugo joe tramos. oh, how much coma no. i. hey, interplay. see, but the smoke. you can see behind me, no, it's coming from the tear gas canisters that we have seen so many times over the last few nights. no. instead, the protest is building a fire right outside of the pol them into we have seen thought to a fireworks. we have seen saw fewer people throwing gloss vocals and studies towards the police. and i saw a few protest is as you look around me fall fear that we've seen over the last few nights and was five's interesting isn't. this comes on the same day. we have seen the government in georgia direct through the cracks down on the opposition party lead. is it also on and use with a range taking place? not just it offices, but also individuals, homes and executives from georgia. dream really quality saying that some 30

percent of those have been involved in the process of the last week or actually from a note from georgia. let me just take you through some of the issues being arrested . we know that your position policy, the united national move and they had their offices ranges in d. c. in the last 2 hours, they have been accused of essentially the paulson western powers trying to own with road illegitimate governments of georgia. we've also had the founder of rural physician seen that were being arrested. this is a tv network. the previously funding 5 george stores in the society foundation. how is that also had one of the members of a season group, different move with who has been arrested as well. and just in the last few days, he was giving an age of it is a revolutionary in georgia in minnesota. what happened in ukraine was amazing.

let's just get a listen and take a play. you vote for sauce interview. it is not necessary for a revolution that happened directly in front of the parliament in ukraine. it happened in freedom square. this fight is not specifically designated to occur in front of the parliament. as i mentioned, one of the methods of violent res seem from the process is to use the fireworks directing them towards the police lines, firing the noise off the noise. and as a result of that, now when it's on fire with a band from sales to jeff, we also understand the protective gear that's being used by the 1st test is to be able to get close to the police and fire off those fireworks has also been fine, and used on a position move with politicians, happiness, cues of supplying those to protest. this one for my m p here in georgia hasn't misses. that is the case, a trone of who's on there is no problem. we have a very good future fireworks of items. they were all for the protests,

but they have so many lasers where they have so much equipment. so to miss police force is an anti constitutive police force. i am the organizer and i am the entrepreneur of these actions. it is an action of the people. meanwhile, george's pro presence has criticized the ban of the sale of fireworks and of safety. did. the ruling party has closed down shop, selling protective gas masks, protective goggles and helmets, leaving peaceful protesters deprived of their elementary protection. a blatant violation of the right to protest and an attack on private property. she is refusing to step down from her time you as president in the next 3 weeks, still north acknowledging not ruling mccain just on tuesday for the constitutional quoting georgia that the elections that took place in october were free inside on the were won by the current rolling policies, georgia, dream. this is the 7th noise of protest since georgia. dream said it was hosting is

to advise a sentient until 2028. the georgian interior ministry has released footage from offices of opposition parties showing molotov cocktails, weaponized, fireworks and other evidence sees during the raves. they're investigating charges. group violence was organized and the a colleague opposition party leader has been detained. now over in the you, politicians have called the george and government's actions across down on democracy. and washington has promised retaliatory sanctions those who undermine democratic processes or institutions in georgia, including those who suppress george and citizens right to freedom of peaceful assembly. an expression will be held to account in addition to continuing our previously announced comprehensive review of bilateral cooperation, the united states is now preparing to use the tools at our disposal,

including additional sanctions. the department of state should begin by announcing personal sanctions against the mayor of billy. see the minister of the interior, an auto officials responsible for august reading this truck down. i call on all european allies to do the same. in crane also says that wants to join it's baltic allies in slapping sanctions on the georgia and government and claims that's giving it to friendly with russia and should be punished and zaleski has ordered his subordinates to prepare a list of legal restrictions against george and officials. are shown in foreign ministry spokesman responded with some strong words for the politician. the freak who ruined his own people has decided to play well. judge in between taking his puffs is he angry that georgia has found the strength to reject the ukrainian scenario. earlier we spoke to the head of the center for problems of

globalization, alexander trasha, he shared his take on why western states are so keen to support the georgia and opposition. yes, the dilemma is just the museum forum diplomatic missions in georgia, european missions, and american british embassies. they support protesters as well. but the idea of turning georgia into an instrument of events against russia on its southern borders, has failed. this has been a task for the last 2 years and it has not been possible to implement it. they realize that georgia would no longer play the role of appointments that could be sacrificed in a big game against russia and decided to support the opposition and every possible way by in the face of to miss you that georgia is ready to be admitted to the european union as the but allegedly out government hasn't turned away from the european pause and so on and so on. and that's when the pressure began open interference in the internal affairs of georgia on the part of europe and unions. representation with which one open major decide the actions of the georgia

government, which they did not like and make the written as well as ambassadors of a number of european. frankly, i'm not talking about the u. s. like in rush, says, cursed region, tactical artillery, combined with air forces, are being used to force ukrainian troops out of the area they've been occupied since their invasion in august. while over the past day alone. moscow says kia has lost at least 280 man and 5 military vehicles there. well across in dawn bass, the russian military has taken more than 80 settlements since autumn, and most of them are in the don't ask a republic for a cab as troops had been struggling to hold ground, the russian offensive has seen the most territory liberated there since 2020 to moscow as forces are now less than 20 kilometers from the western border of the doughnuts for public. i'll just over the past day, more than a dozen counter offensive attempts by caps troops had been repelled,

resulted in over a 1000 losses. according to moscow, the washington is holding t up to its promises of supplying demand power. as russian forces dudley advance on the front lines, us secretary of state antony blinking offers up another $725000000.00 and military aid to ukraine. with reminder about who needs to fight the battle. and washington's top diplomat is telling camp to take some tough decisions over mobilization to keep fighting against russia. blinking says, building up his forces is a condition for continued us to support even with ease of money, even with the, the munitions that has to be people on the, on the front lines to deal with the russian aggression. ukraine has hard decisions to make about for their mobilization. but these are necessary decisions. we have a commitment though. for every person, every soldier,

the ukraine mobilizes. we're committed to making sure that they have the training and the equipment they need to effectively defend the country. as well, the current and future us administration differ on ukraine and donald trump's team as well. quarterly considering 3 strategies to follow through on his campaign plugs and the war one proposes freezing the conflict along the current front lines. and this is sending a train succession to nato. the future vice president suggests establishing demilitarised area using is the existing combat zones also without camp joining nato. and there's, from the former intelligence chief whose plan calls for creation of a tournament zones in the east of the country, again without membership ukraine. however, and since the only option is to become part of the military block, we can visit the any real guarantee of security for ukraine as well as a deterrent to further russian aggression against the grades and other states is ukraine's full membership in nate. so we will not accept any alternative, sorry,

gets all substitutions, but ukraine's full membership in nato, ukraine's possible membership and data is still a concern. for example, the publication lamond floated an unnamed western demo diplomat saying some of the blocks countries including the u. s. consider the issue a difficult one, and the former nato secretary general in stoughton park always found excuses to delay cabs admission to the lions. that is a long term perspective. what is that? what is the issue now? is to ensure that you claim to be assessed on an inbound independence nation and therefore needs as a 4th to ukraine. weiss, that's a long timeline to bring in ukraine. you've talked about a 10 year window. why is it 10 years versus maybe one or 2 or 3 years since they're facing war? well, no one else. so the expected 10 years both about but it's almost as it is a very serious issue to bring in ukraine because a credit is not

a contract at or you can, has been attacked by a blood rush. all. so the most important thing we, we should do is to step up our support to create and to ensure that you can provide as a precondition for in the future membership for your plan. let's cross live now to john miller, political bureau, member of the american communist party john the, the incoming trump administration appears to oppose ukraine's natal membership while the european union has kept it on the table. i'm wondering why is there a contradiction between the 2 as well? i think what we're seeing is a difference in strategy not only between the us and europe, but also internally here in the united states. you have a, a difference in ideology basically when it comes to this era of great power conflict. now, i would say that both of our major parties with republicans and democrats, are bought into this idea of major power conflict. but the question is, who is that directed towards? well, for the establishment,

this is directed mainly towards china. and this is true both in the republican and democratic parties. but the difference here is that on one hand, among many of those democratic politicians, along with many of the establishment types, they see russia, china, iran, north korea, all as one axis of evil. and so you've had this intense uh, both among many establishment leads here in the united states, as well as into european countries begin to signal that russia is the number one target there at the vanguard of what we describe as this axis of evil. of course, it's not really an ex vivo, but in emerging global system that challenges us to germany. but in the case of the trumpet, ministration, and many other surrounding him, i think that they see this as they see the situation with russia as an opportunity to whole rush it back into the fold of the united states and be able to wage great power conflict against their main rival,

which they see in china. and so i think the fundamentally just kind of describes the risk that we're seeing, of course, in europe, and among the eastern european countries. they have been at the forefront of us as efforts to not only spread rest of phobia, but also to be the main bludgeon to try to destabilize the russian federation. and so you have what's in folding in eastern europe and the congress is as the result of decades of intentional efforts to the stabilize to try to pull back these governments from having natural relations with the rush or the russian federation and prevent rushes influence on the original land mass as a full is it on now of course. right, john, you know, donald trump has repeatedly stressed the need for your up to spend more on its own defense. we saw this during his 1st presidential term, of course, but the u. s. foreign policy chief is, is pressing washington to continue it's 8,

and that more is actually the path for the us to remain a super power. how do you expect to try to react to that? the trump team, i guess, in general, especially because trump round on this platform of anti war, well, it's going to be a challenge with the drugs ministration. we've seen over the course of the last month. it's already been a month since the election, which is a mind blowing. but over the course of last month, we've seen quite a bit done by the, by the administration, as well as actors in europe to try to lock us in, in to this conflict in strength and the algorithm toward war. so it'll be a challenge with the jump administration to actually promote peace and find a way for you to create, i think that's uh there's going to be internal conflicts and then the trump administration itself, of course, we've seen do sales people appointed or been potential cabinet appoint appointments . we have always been strongly in favor of war uh, including more with russia. people like marco rubio and others who have always advocated with the united states. take

a stronger attack when it comes to dealing with the russian federation. but trump himself has signaled that he'd be willing to explore peace. and most recently we saw tucker carlson was served as a informal advisor to the president and a friend as president trump actually in russia currently where he just had a meeting with a survey lab drive on foreign minister of the russian federation. and so we, i think that we are in an incredibly interesting period of time. it will again be very difficult in terms of ministration. it's going to pull back to this algorithm fort worth and out of the solutions that they propose for a starting point for negotiations. to find, see some ukraine, it's still extremely unclear whether these terms will be sufficient for the russian federation, which of course is viewing what has happened over the course of the last couple of years. and especially over the course of the last couple of months. most notably

with the incursion into occurs as real threats to their sovereignty. so with this military buildup that we're seeing now in the baltics, in poland with the logistical efforts of remaining in the operation which is so cleverly named, rach, plan germany, which is basically a way to try to get resources through germany to the eastern european countries. it will be incredibly difficult for him to walk that back. all right, we're gonna leave it there, john volero, a member of the political bureau of the american communist party. john, thank you so much. thank you very much. well, as the voices calling for him to quit grow louder or french president emanuel micron is coming under in freezing pressure. well, that's after his prime minister michelle barney. i lost a no confidence vote in parliament. the senior official is expected to submit his resignation on thursday. who was awesome, i will tell you that there is only one solution left to break the deadlock.
