[000:00:00;00] the 300 militants have been eliminated in northern and syria over the past day of finding that says russia points to cranes involvements in the violence uprising the same. you have provided to terrorist with drones and intelligence supports also a head washington process of concerns the case foreign level on his cracking as the idea of release. this footage of pressure strikes on my country style. our correspondence 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 village,

is still occupied by his way. the forces they're refusing to allow local to return home even firing on them in breach of the agreed c side and a cleaning house in georgia were opposition figures in the western back. the n z o is behind the turmoil are being rounded up. following raids on their offices, authorities say almost a 3rd of protesters, they detain our foreign nationals, the live in moscow. this is our t international. i'm rachel ruble. the begin in syria where the defense ministry says at least 300 militants have been eliminated in the past. day of fighting alone on that so state for us to secure the city of homa, and prepare to repel any future attacks. i love

the rain and working in tandem. certain ground troops and russian air forces are said to have inflicted heavy terrorist losses in the north weapons and armor vehicles belonging to the terrestrial sean. the hottest group were also captured. the syrian army officer says the troops won't rest until the whole country is free of the militants. as easily caught the defense points of being reinforced in the northern country side of how much to support and assist the advancing forces with equipment and fight to the syrian army will not stop it's operation until the last inch about territory is free to you know, my community where the know of an entrance to the city of how much funds and continues in several directions around the city flashes that taking place between the syrian all the interest groups. these groups are trying to enter the city all time, but as we can see mand zayn. now, aberdeen is still under the control of the syrian miller training. and for psych tibbetts, he is also notate, at the moment it is striking mountain cap for us. but terrorist organizations are trying to strengthen that positions serial num,

russian aircraft to deliberately attacking the positions of these groups and thereby preventing their attempts to gain a foothold in. the 2nd question is also continuing in the village of camera, located to the east of the city of ham. up since yesterday evening fighting has continued between the syrian o me on terrorist groups in the eastern direction. while in the northern direction, it is relatively calm. the intensity of hostilities in the eastern direction is increasing as terrace groups are trying to advance to the east and break through this sector. they're attempting to enter the village of custom eligible to break through in this direction in order to encircle the city from the north. however, the siri nami is still doing everything possible to prevent the terrors from advancing, showing them with various fire weapons attacks on the supply lines of terrorist groups continue, and syrian and brushing aircraft to currently focused on striking supply lines deep in the northern suburbs of time. uh, as well as the southern part of the suburbs of a live, including the villages, neurotic and caution cooley, strikes to being carried out on by the supply lines of terrorist organizations and

will make concentration centers in order to stop in terrace from advancing further towards the safety of hama, and to reduce the intensity of their attacks aimed at capturing the city. at present, flashes is still ongoing in several directions. there is relative calm in the north of pama, while the fighting is becoming more intense and the east of the city. the terrorist attacks of forest over 115000 people to leave their homes and flee south with these refugees have found themselves stuck and makes shift to shelter. is that local schools, volunteers provide food and warm clothes as low as the weather gets colder. those displaced have described their exhausting journey to safety. the when the militant storm, the level we left the city immediately while the highway was still open. we also left everything behind. there was tara and shelling. so we arrived here exhausted. so i like mostly the best say,

i mean the terrorists were near us. they wanted to enter nubile. we left on barefoot with nothing. but as the most important thing was that our kids were safe, we fled with children in our small car like everyone else. those without cars have to walk on foot as the safety of the children is the most important thing. a hi civilians escaped from northern areas fighting. there are continues footage of the militants building fortifications and preparing for new classes and the is emerging online. a lot of the main forces fighting the syrian army is a high end to rear alshaun. this group broke off from the aisle news or a friend which used to be a branch of all kind of the you and along with russia and the us are among those who designated as a terror group. know that said to we are all sean is currently working with the surround national army, formerly known as the freezer in the army, which washington provide support to russia has raised concerns that kev is also

assisting the militant group. should not so much time, we draw attention to the fact that among the foreign fighters that either was clearly a so called ukrainian trace. given the information we have received about the cooperation between the special services of the key resume and the militants of the terrorist organization. for your alshaun, including the transfer of drones experience in their use and so on. this is not the 1st and unfortunately, as far as we know, not the last region where the key of terrorist regime will apply its criminal experience before it was african countries. 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. us based and g o that supports as law. most in the syria seems to kind of confirmed kids linked to the terrorist group. the 2 nations syrian rebels and 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 its own having snow. so again, ukraine is really under the thumb of the west as well. that's a tool of 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 us 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 fresh. 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 for us has been entirely too patient throughout this because they interpret

russian patient as weakness. and that, that's why this is continually the a bite and the bite and ministration is basically trying to set the world on fire before it leaves office. you know, i think they're doing a pretty good job of setting it on fire one out to london where reports the israel is violating it's shaking abstruse with hezbollah are increasing by the day . the us has taken to a story that the cease fire is holding up and it is things to the piece mechanisms that established together with parents the past with some important about what we are able to set up working with friends who have an oversight mechanism. if there are concerns that one party, 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 that was established when any concerns arisen

about any alleged or 40 violations. well, the same day blanket made his statement. the idea released footage of its air strikes on the southern lebanese area of mazda dolls, in a separate is rarely striking. their reporter they claimed the lives of 3 civilians are to save. sweeney was one of the 1st journalists to reach the south of the country to bring us a series of exclusive 1st look reports from the area southern lebanon, just days after the si, fi came into effect. village of the village, town of the town, whole streets to into rubble. hospitals, multics in churches among the many buildings destroyed by these way. the invaders, dystopian savings, not a single settlements across southern lebanon 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 ready warnings many not knowing whether the homes are still standing. kona,

the seeking of an a taurus massacre in 1996. when is well opened fire when the un compound lies in ruins and model k is the same. i said the king ca for a model or have really bon bonded doing is wells latest on salt. this has been job . i will close to the board that very much on the front line of israel is more or less of them on the road. hey, from time we policy village off the village, many of which were reduced to rubble. these are the villages as well, has ordered residents not to attend to, so they have to fight those old is returning to the homes returning to that land. now just behind me, it's been 2 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. so the site 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 hospitals. what does the hospital have to do with what is happening? is it a military target? the hospital is for the wounded and sick. not for anything else, not the wounded or civilians who are injured. military personnel do not usually go to the hospital. it, it seems nothing was bad d as righty bu policy 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 underway, now since the sci fi came into effect, we know in a nearby village, there were 47 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 slowly started to return to the villages in the south. now the grim discovery of those killed in these radio and still continues the official dest total of just under $4000.00 likely to rise as we drive across town. the sky and of the damage becomes apparent. well, this is the ancient and historic soup area of in chicago. this is an area where people would come to do the shopping. this is a civilian area and we've spoken to local is who said that because the is ladies couldn't defeat the resistance. they stopped to targeting civilian areas, part was psychological, war against the people are just the most our enemies, 6 to prove its strength through the killing of children and innocent people and the destruction that follows. but we show these really enemy and it's supporters that no matter what happens to us, no matter how much destruction in killing there is, we will remain steadfast and we will remain on our land. we will not leave it and no one can occupy us or, oh and when i got back i was relieved because we want and thank god for that. but i was

a sad because of the people i lost. i hope the cease fire less and the violent stops at the oh, june ends with access to someone's blog to, to, to the presence of his right. the so which is well behind us is been job i owe. this was the saying 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 at them in breach of the agree, see spot 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 um, even though the seas 5 remains in place to disruption, continues. folders just add on a mosque, finishes are unable to attend. and only those media organizations imbedded 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

a fig. unlikely to rise, but the people remain dignified with tony with the heads held high and continuing to support the resistance waterfront y'all cease 5 continues to hold for now. this is these really for all the southern lebanon, the well to the republicans origin. our officials have rated the offices and arrested protest instigators, they say are sponsored by western n. g o's. and riots in the capital continued for the 7th consecutive night, are to charlotte davinsky brings us the latest from temple. you see how much coma noise he into play 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? i've side of the problem and to we have the saw to a fireworks. we have seen saw fewer people slowing, gloss vocals,

and studies towards the police. and i saw a few protest is as you look around me, i'll see you then 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 crackdowns on opposition party lead is also on and use with a range taking place, not just it offices, but also individuals, homes and executives from georgia. dream really policies saying that some 30 percent of those have been involved in the process of the last week are actually from a mode a note from georgia. let me just take you through some of the issues being arrested . we know that your physician policy, the united national move, when they had their offices rated hearing to receive in the last few hours. they have been accused of a sudden sneezing, paulson,

western powers trying to own with road illegitimate governments of georgia. we've also had the founder of little physicians tv network being arrested. this is a tv network that was previously funded by george stores in the society foundation . we've also had one of the members of a c group defending move and who has been arrested as well. and just in the last few days he was giving an engine is talking about how the sage or revolution the he in georgia, similar to what happened in ukraine with the mines in qu, let's just get a listen and take a flight. you vote for fast 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 violence we've seen from the process is, is this use the fireworks directing them, raised towards the police lines,

firing the noise off the noise. and as a result of that, now in the sun fire with a band for sale, he enjo jeff, we also understand the protective gear that's being used by the 1st testers to be able to get close to the police and fire off those fireworks has also been fine enough energy use and a position move with politicians, have seen accused of supplying those to protest. this one for my m p here in georgia, hasn't mrs. that is the case a trone of who's on there is no problem. we have a very good future fireworks items. they were all for the protest, but they have so many lasers. they have so much equipment to do this. 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, the president, has criticized the bond of the sale of fireworks and of safety again. 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 for her time. yeah. as president in the next 3 weeks. still north acknowledging not ruling that came just on tuesday for the constitutional court in georgia. that the elections that took place in october were free inside, and they were won by the current rolling policies, georgia dream. this is the 7th noise of protest since georgia. dream said it was hosting says, talk to the union, up as a sentient until 2028 of the georgian interior ministry. i was released footage from offices of opposition parties showing molotov cocktails, weaponized, fireworks, and other evidence seized during the raves. their investigating charges group violence was organized and the holly opposition party leader has been detained in

the you. politicians have called the georgian government's actions a crack 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. earlier we spoke to the head of the center for problems of globalization, alexander, sasha, who shared his take on why western states are so keen to support the georgia and opposition as the diploma foreign diplomatic missions in georgia, european missions, the american and british embassies. they all supporting the protest is because the plan to turn georgia into an instrument of influence against russia on its southern

borders has been supported. this has been the goal of the last 2 years, but it was impossible to achieve it. they realized that georgia will no longer play the role of a pool, and that can be sacrificed in the big game against russians. so they chose to support the opposition public organizations that are anti government in every possible way. they chose to support the missiles that georgia is ready to be accepted into the european union at the same time, claiming that all governments straight off the european pop and so on and so forth . and that's when the pressure started open interference in the internal affairs of georgia from e u. representation. they openly criticize the actions of the georgia government, which they did not like made threatening statements. the ambassadors of a number of european states did this. so not to mention the us, the in russia is encouraged range and tactical artillery, combined with air forces, are being used to push through training and troops out of the area they've been occupied since their invasion in august over the past day alone. moscow says kia

has lost at least 280 man and 5 military vehicles there. but across in dawn bass, the russian military has taken more than 80 settlements since autumn. most of them are in the doughnuts for a public or campus troops have been struggling to hold ground. the russian offensive has seen the most territory liberated there since 20. 22. moscow's forces are now less than 20 kilometers from the western border of the don't ask for a public interest over the past day. more than a dozen counter offensive attempts by cabs troops had been repelled, resulting in over a 1000 losses. according to moscow, as well as rest and forces deadly advance on the front lines, us secretary of state anthony blank and has confirmed another $725000000.00 and military aid to ukraine. now this comes as the countries are forced mobilization efforts, show no sign of letting up. washington stop diplomat warranty. yeah, that had some tough choices to make about recruitment policy and says,

building up its forces is a key condition for ongoing us supports even with the, the money, even with the, the munitions that has to be people on the, on the front lines to deal with the russian aggression you create has hard decisions to make about further mobilization. but these are necessary decisions. we have a commitment though, for every person, every soldier that ukraine mobilizes. we're committed to making sure that they have the training and the equipment they need to effectively defend the country. was we? well, that's comes as a delegation from kids and ad in washington wednesday with senior representatives of donald trump's team, including the incoming special envoy for ukraine, the keys kellogg. trump made a campaign pledge to end of the war. and as were part of that, considering 3 strategies to log proposals for using the conflict along the current

front lines and suspending ukraine's accession to nato. the vice president elect suggests establishing a demilitarized zone using existing combat area, also excluding a nato bed. and there's transformer intelligence chief, whose plan calls for creation of autonomy zones in the east of the country. again, without nato membership. the crane, however insists it's only option, is to become part of the military block. we compare this to the only real guarantee of security for ukraine as well as a deterrent defer that russian aggression against the grades and other states that ukraine's full membership in nato. we will not accept any alternative, sorry, gets all substitutions, but ukraine's full membership in nato. accession remains that concern, though lamond quoted an unnamed western diplomat same some of the blocks countries including the u. s. consider the issue, a difficult one. and the former nato secretary general and stone and berg always

seem to find excuses to delay kids admission to the alliance. and that is a long term perspective. what is that? what is the issue now? is to ensure that ukraine conveyed us over an inbound independence nation, and therefore needs the support to your wife at the 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 of them. so they expected 10 years both but, but it's almost as it is a very serious issue to bring in ukraine because your credit is not a contract at or your credit has been attacked by a blood rush. all. so the most important thing we, we should do is to step up our support to print, to ensure that your printer, dave's as a precondition financial truth membership for you. when we spoke with john malaria from the american communist party, he says, nato would rather use ukraine as a bargaining chip in a conflict with russia, then bring it into the alliance. and i think that europe, nato, united states,

all understand that they are not ready for a full blown war with russia. we know that in united states, in the u. k. in france, that there are significant economic, political, and logistical challenges for actually fighting a direct war with the russian federation. and we've seen a tax from united states in particular over the course of the last decade or 2. that is shied away from direct intervention, things it's ukraine is used as a marketing tool, basically for nato to continue to try to intimidate and exert some leverage over the russian federation. this has been a time of extreme economic hardship for many in the united states in particular, and to see hundreds of billions of dollars flow to this efforts that only resulted in getting thousands of ukrainians. hundreds of thousands of ukrainians killed and

severely wounded. we bring you an update from france where emmanuel, my crohn is clinging to the presidency as calls to replace them increased setting the legitimacy of his government the political term. while bill is with the prime minister resigning after losing a no confidence vote in parliament. more on this and other news from around the world and check out our website, r t dot com, the former bangladesh, the prime minister, shake casino was ousted in august during violent anti government protests. in her 1st address, since leaving office, the exiled leader has now tutor successors of committing genocide against religious minorities including hindus. today, i am being accused of genocide. in reality, unice has been involved in genocide, in a meticulously designed manner. the most, mine's the student coordinators and eunice, all behind this genocide,

hindus buddhist christians. no one has been sped. 11 churches have been destroyed. temples and buddhist shrines have been broken when the hindus protested, the escondido was arrested. what is this persecution of minorities for? why are they being ruthlessly persecuted and attacked? people no longer have the right to justice. though for more months of these prime minister, she can see now they're essentially mounting a acquisitions against the into government involved the bees seeing that they are responsible for a legit persecution of minorities in bottom of these she could see 9 bottom, the beach was always seen as somebody who has jeff under extreme of elements in check, and she has to support all the minorities particularly that he can do with minorities in bangladesh or we once she left the country in august to see

a we'd seen report soul temples as well as minorities can do is again, particularly a guideline gotten to adapt. this is something that the engine chief old well as the model of the government and mama eunice himself acknowledged when he, when he took to fall. in fact, ever since the all has the now left the country, the be hard step for reports, we've seen several reports, sofa, many, many minorities notches hindus. but with this christians come under attack and the situation from august to now hasn't really changed. and now the interim government in bond division has also gone on to see that the of the indian governments has been trying to make up with difficult issue in china, including an issue out of everything that has been going on a bundle of these india's ruling elite is engaging in divisive politics and anti

bangladesh rhetoric the b j. p is attempting to turn bangladesh into an internal political issue or india. if this happens, it will be detrimental to india's domestic politics and t, bangladesh, and anti muslim politics will not serve india's national interest or contribute to its unity. therefore, we call on india to cease the false propaganda against bangladesh and uphold harmony and respect for democracy. no added to the indian government has without several statements. so to protect minorities, particularly he knows in bottom to these. but that has some of that after several incidents that we've been seeing since august unfold in bomb, they'd be several accounts is a minorities, imagine prosecution samples, religious spaces coming under attack stuff. also remember recently you lost a leader of the east from

a temple basically was arrested and that will not defamation for the lead. you least insulting the bonds of the sheets, flag that floods to widens to address in a bundle base, but also in india, on the other side of the board also invested in gold. and so i said the he does um, in the villages seat as well as the house to fast against the rest. all they can do most involved with these the march toward bonds with these border this from the west single side in india. so, so far is the relationship between india and bond. this is after long, but you know, the engine cheese is well the government in the bottom of the shop do go. well we don't really see the relations between the both countries that the starting. it's also important to mention hill that jobs i did the prime minister along the the she could see now she continues to remain in india ever since she left the country and now school. so as we speak,
