[000:00:00;00] the guide is breaking news or when off the international you heard it right there is really strikes just hammering syria off the phone of damascus. or the idea of phones on the basis of the city of come actually that's not one to code, is control, is the power grap is in full swing across that nation. we are continuing to see is really movements can bombardments into this area and territory . this needs to stop the united nations goals for an immediate stop face to the idea of attacks on syria saying israel is in violation of international law. it's

heavy amo roles past the golden high spot for his own and troops sees more left across the border. and rushes ties with india, a made of steel, as most go hands over to new daily, a war ship. it's built for the nation. the indian defense minister says deepening cooperation between the 2 states is the main we will always be together with our russian colleagues. carlos in india is one of russia's key partners. and the relations between the 2 countries are of a particularly privileged strategic nature. the right work in a way to tuesday evening here with the russian capital with your top storage ready to roll and filter that has always here on a 2 day 3 of a brand new reality in syria, off of the full of bush on us side. and the idea of is reportedly bombing targets now in the city of come mostly strikes of leveled,

local weapons depots and government research facilities. so by the way, it is an area now under code is militant controlled off of the syrian army, essentially abandoned that post. and then the melting pot of groups and form paolo's buying for control. and the nation of the un is warning a further escalation. for know, much of what some called a ripple controlled syria is under the control and want to have it cool. and patchwork on groups who are co ordinating well for no, but they are not fully or formally united. it's important that we don't see conflict between these groups may need to focus on the need for credible and transition arrangements in damascus. it's needs to be inclusive arrangements. and let me say that if this is not happening, then various new conflict in syria. so let's have a closer look now let's say who controls water in syria because essentially

a is the best most in areas and terrorists are in charge of most of the territory that includes the capital, damascus right here in the north. however, this yellow region here, it marks the area controlled by the us, by the code to a crashing with turkish militants that trying to get the control of the city of mountain big jump there on the border. meanwhile, in the south, of the idea here is across to the golden heights above his own is looking for more land. but besides bombing, the city of come usually up here in the northeastern part, it's full, it's, it's a targeting, damascus, but also the mediterranean, at port city of attack, you were a russian ministry basis as well. meantime, the un, special language, serious as israel is in breach of international law and very troubling development. as we are continuing to see, is there a ne movements and bombardments into serial territory. this needs to

stop extremely important that we know don't see any action from in the international directory that destroys the possibility for this transformation is area to take place. the peacekeepers on the on highest articles in daily, con, contact vend videos. right. and is, of course, the message from, from new york is this is the same that what you're seeing is a violation of this and judgment agreement. in 1974, of course, we are stationed all across the region. so over knowledge while i'm at least bureau chief and the correspondent use of july the with some of the latest regional develop. since the fall of damascus on sunday, israel's been clear, it focuses on its own security, protecting its own borders and making sure the k is an instability in siri, business feeling two's written territory. and huge concerns play here for his role . the b or the asides old military assets could fall into level hands, defense minister,

all these relevant music earlier that the idea is targeted strategic weapons and see where inside c, right? including invest 20000 air defense systems for minister also confirmed that is real evans truck suspected chemical weapons size. and what's more important? both officials made it absolutely clear, but the army will keep going as needed and reports now say that this reading jets have carried out over 300 air strikes in just 2 days. this point what a size army spend decades building. but unlike similar operations and gaza, elaborate on with the idea of providing daily updates on targets at hates or flight hours. or even for us janice, this time the same type fleet, leaving everyone guessing and speculating about what's really happening on the ground. and what is the scale 2nd big fear ravel incursion and to prevent this,

israel has taken full control of the boxes of including pods on the syrian side. and now is ro says it's pending that side and creating an even bigger security air with free of weapons and terror infrastructure. we heard that from the country's defense minister earlier, and they claim it's to fill the vacuum left by which reaching syrian troops to clear. the idea is casually grabbing normal ground it hold on. so it's all says is defensive and temporary, but they haven't set how long it's been a while now distracted, washington continues to shield israel. just like a did you have an idea of notes or contains in guys a lab, but on and other regional operations over the past 15 months. this is a temporary accident. they have taken. we support all sides of holding the 1974 does engagement agreement. israel has said that these actions are temporary um to defend its borders. these are not permanent actions. now what we want to see ultimately is the um,

that agreement fully up upheld. and we'll watch to see that as real does that. however, this temporary claim seems to contradict what the prime minister of israel said monday nights and yahoo held his 1st press briefing and nearly $100.00 days, where he declared that the golan heights will forever be costs of israel. we all understand the great importance of our presence there, a top the golden heights, not at the foot, our control and authority over the colon heights and shores our own security, the golan heights, will forever be an inseparable part of the state of his real. earlier i wrote, there is report a, it's based on information from once you ran into regional security sources. that idea of troops had advanced to, we think, 25 kilometers, all the baskets, the syrian capital, further than the buffer zone. when we asked the army bothers, they denied this claims. here is their response. the reports circulating in the media about the alleged advancement of israeli tanks towards damascus. our false

idea of troops are stationed within the buffer zone, as stated in the past. well, it is very important to know that to the rock 2 parts of the golden heights, the 1st about 2 thirds was captured by israel from syria during the 6 day war in 1967 and has been occupied ever since in 1981. these real unilateral the next this area and applied it's was there and move on, or we could noise by the us and much later during trump presidency on monday we visited much that shows a key village in the is really occupying the goal in high street document the armies entry into the buses, lo, locate interest, 50 kilometers from the esco's. the village lies in a dispute of the region and the international law. so well as well. and the us, we could nice that as part of his role, the rest of the world does not. the all the part of the go on highs is the syrian

control portion. and it includes the bosses and created up to the 1973 war when syria attempted to regain control of the highs with last even more territory. and this area was controlled by these syrian army and a u. n. monitoring force with no is really presence until recently and one farm and assigned to the who says the golan heights will for rather be part of the state of israel. it raises question is actually, if he means only the territory sees back in 1967, but has been occupied at proceeds, there is nothing new in his statement. but if he's referring to the bosses own or other areas of suicide and controls golden highs. while he suggests a potential territorial expansion, of course, now the expansion of is really movements in as long as eric neighbor has caught a nerve into juan, juan has consistently said that it's military presence in syria represent. it runs strategic gaps and now iran has lost this key point, which i used to act as

a lynch been for the resistance access, especially in the sense that it established, it was links to his beloved. so now it won't, it appears to be showing teeth to his ro, advising good against steering the pots in the middle east. on monday, chief commander, i'll be running or be major general abdur rahim. most of the us trust the readiness of these lovely republics on forces in the face of any potential for i. t was for side dressing, the countries army personnel, when he said it was military is on high alert and is prepared for any scenario of the ongoing developers in syria. the armed forces. as always, i have a duty to constantly prepare themselves for any threat they imagine. and this readiness is permanent, but of course it's not just a wrong that solves are not happy with these ready deployments across here we are. the move was met with a wave of condemnation from across the arab world. egypt guitar and iraq,

among other nations, flashed out at israel, describing its moves in syria. a dangerous developments and a clear assault on serious sovereignty is really incursion is a dangerous development. and a blatant attack on serious sovereignty and unity as well as a flagrant violation of international law. the policy of imposing a fait accompli pursued by the israeli occupation, including its attempts to occupy syrian territories, will lead the region to further violence. intention. the foreign ministry of the republic of a rank condemned in the strongest terms, the is rarely entity seizure of the office, with the syrian arab republic in the golden and its neighboring lands and stresses that this action represents a blatant violation of international law and the relevant resolutions of international legitimacy, the assaults carried out by the israeli occupation government, including the seizure of the buffer zone in the golan heights. and the targeting of syrian territory confirmed israel's continued violation of the principles of

international law and its determination to sabotage serious chances of restoring its security stability and territorial integrity. so what's interesting is that the iran has seems to have changed its tone and rhetoric towards the b h, b, h t s, hey, up to our shop and that we see that the one has expressed openness to a dialogue with the s p s. on the condition that they respect their wives interest . so get awesome. we've done cutoffs there distance politically, from the zionist regime is one of the important parameters for us. we are open to talks just like all other countries. iran approaches in line with all countries. as i was calling for the protection of holy sites, diplomatic premises and the historic sites in syria. because due to the rich history of civilization in this country, they have to protect it. we hope developments take place in syria that benefit the people and we see better developments there. all our talks will be after the

establishment of stability and syria based on our national interests. meanwhile, these on a couple of what has on multiple occasions warned that the serial after a sad will not be a utopia, not just because aside was too good. but mainly because everyone knows well that is where it would seize me. instability in the country to advance at the points forces to, to, to syria, of course, on monday they're wanting an embassy and live in on a condemned israel's announcement regarding the collapse of the 1974 disengagement agreement with syria. and this for to just go on high calling, get a clear indication of kind of leaves expansionist approach and agenda. we also all heard such comments from other officials, including his mind, about all either spokesperson for the ministry of foreign affairs in the wrong. he said, what is what was doing, violate serious infrastructure. he said some of his insulting international norms

and rules by occupying more parts of the golan heights and syria. now fortunately, one is also not pleased with how the western countries are sitting back and staying quiet about what as well as doing there are these i'm for public officials. i'll say that as well interprets this silence on the part of the west as a green light or a go ahead for its actions in syria. of course, of all the and all they want says, all regional and international capacities must be utilized and immediately be employed to hold as well uh, accountable, and put an end to its new adventures. and in the region just before it's too late, we'll have a look at the damage right here as rising over the pull it off. let's hockey at the smoke and flames. israel just bomb the area, enable and other strategic facilities were also targeted with pictures showing 5, raging and sunken boats in the bottom of the picture. the un special language,

a serious slab, is really actions calling for the idea of to stop. it's a salt immediately comes out to be is riley, 4 minutes, a claim that israel targeted chemical weapons in the sites on the territory of syria saying they did so to stop the weapons from falling into the hands of extremes. i recently spoke with john less than political commentator stevens, so who we need about the ongoing situation and let talk you because he's there and he discussed the destruction caused by his ready weapons but also shared his views on the so called reformist woke terrorist leda, who is now taking power. there is a 4th administrative base for lessons and nothing happened to them. i prefer sure. the, all of the at that is really are just like happened on the sorry, on the 4th of love talk to you. where there was some military ship started. uh, the reason for that is you to, for the gene. also they use the storage. all of these, your different systems, all the radars out of the helicopters,

all of the tanks on of the ship planes that the you have to do in several military bases inside of the fox. yeah. and i don't the city of luck. yeah. so that got there is no casualties because those submitted databases debate are empty. there's no one there were family. no, i'm talking personally now i can't talk anything. i don't want to. there's no more security branch just to be afraid of. but the, the, well, as i told you, syria and the sending people, they want a check, you know, to see audio because there is 18 different set in celia and religions. so when the religion and beans living living like i've gotten a sense and happy now go back to follow up on that whole dustin seated on our website right now from wanted to welcome. what is the difference at dave? the west has shifted from putting a $10000000.00 balance on the head of the leader of the tower group. pion. shut it out, shawn to now calling him a reformed rebel with cnn, and trying to get into the allegedly calling him and what he says he has done the

reading of his poppet mazda. so it's about time for a make over, i guess if you could read the sort of truth on our web. well, with the looming presidency of donald trump, who's made it clear, he's not going to be talking the line for your opinion more. some nations are taking it on their own to box ukraine at whatever the cost and all the german opposition leda has come to visit the landscape of tea. shelby endorsed hunting for them. i made the suggestion in germany and would be happy to discuss it with you to establish a kind of compact group consisting of germany and france, poland, and great britain of course, in order to bring together the most important countries of the european union. and also from nato mind to form an opinion among these 4 largest countries, and then try to develop a common position with the united states. i mean, we want to enable your army to reach military targets in russia and the currently we are forcing your country to fight with one hand behind its back. with the change

of power in the united states. we must consider all possible options that may exist, as well as the mode says, hopeful that take over the drum and tron, so those desks some days definitely seems to have support in the west and media. he's proposed a more radical and see russian approach and 6 to give the long range german missiles, but usage on russian territory is concerns regarding trump. it's coming to power. apparently shared by brussels is the use defendant's commission that has requested to raise the blocks a war budget by hundreds of millions or more. you're not. so i would say the mindsets and the member states are spending to now a lot out of the me, they ups coming up from closer to 400000000000. and so i'm going commission to get some of that done 1000000000 for 7 years. so we expect to be able to, in next some of the to have begun defense spending going next year, which will start, you know, to,

to put some numbers into this other stuff. but the what we are consolidating dollar shelves, of course on, on some kind of big numbers on the raisins ocean of $500000000000.00. hello this as you well know by now, europe and industrial giants are facing disaster volkswagen walker, the staging demonstrations because the potential closure of the job in factories a company plus the cost thousands of jobs, temperature salaries that have come to submit the energy crisis following western sanctions against russia around the russian energy of shoals. however, i propose to shift the blame, pinning it on bad business decisions. i am against employees being laid off just to save money. how much does the government want to interfere and company decisions? labor minister heil was it volkswagen this week to protest against the closure of plants. it is always right to remind companies of their responsibilities. specific decisions will be negotiated between the owners and labor representatives. my

opinion is clear. closing locations would not be the right way to go. that would not be right, especially because bad decisions by management have contributed to the difficult situation. let's take this conversation further joining our guests at george and somebody. wiley, a senior research fellow with a global policy institute of georgia. very well welcome. glad to get you on the program. thank you for your time today with the ad bonds. good to have you with us night. um. so what the job and all position leda, initiating a new key of backing group, excluding america, is raw. the small group only has the u. k. from germany and poland. only a few that compared to what used to be a large a potty, shall we say. why do you, why do you think he's doing this when he is trying to go as a trump improve? um ukraine. um, trunk will obviously be the president really in just a little more than a month. and of course uh, frederick match lo, he's the opposition lee the today in february, he's likely to be charged phillips. he is almost certainly going to pursue

a more belligerent policy on ukraine. then the hapless a chance to all up charles. so he wants to be prepared for the trump piece plan, and we have vague outlines of what it is trump is going to propose, as is a solution to ukraine any will, would entail some losses of territory on the part of ukraine. now, what now is now doing is saying, well, we're going to come up with our own peace plan in anticipation of the, the americans and the forwarding. it was, it will be our piece plan that will prevail. it's very, very unlikely, because ultimately it's the united states, the calls the shots, a lot of it is just simply fantasy that the europeans can just defy what the united states wants. well, in the meantime is the buzz is also said that a drug money must provide ukraine with more of as long range may as i was. i mean, i just wanted to ask you like george,

is it appropriate for someone who's not even rolling the country to suddenly make a trip? the key, evan said something like this, but it's probably not appropriate. on the other hand it's, it's a given that he will be a tongue slip. and it's also likely that though the illness certainly be some kind of a grand coalition, the christian democrats are not strong enough to form a government on their own. and the social democrats will be in this a coalition, but it won't be, you know, the hapless johns the show. so i think it'll probably be the more full cage defense . but as the bar is the story is, i think you will probably handle defense. and i imagine the very belligerent on the book will remain as a foreign minister. so it will be a very, uh cool keisha german government. and that's as repeatedly criticized the shoals. but being reluctance and wary. and this, it in about sending everything the german,

he has an arm or a to your brain. yeah, it's a good point. the right, i mean, you know, look, the new defense commission is that the union needs to spend 500000000000 euros more in the coming decade for ukraine. let me say that again. 500000000000 euros mole. meantime, volkswagen. another industrial giant's, a suffering historic loss is joad. why is the you allocating this, this much money to defense? while as business is going down the drain, because they are absolutely committed to this ridiculous policy that never made any sense. for europe, it was really a policy driven by the united states, but europe's leads embraced it. and of course, it was all based on the stock, but it will in no way advise and see europe in the interest. i mean, the jeremy jeremy has been now suffering one quarter after another. all the negative growth german uh,

basically cannot afford it's energy and that's why it's closing down as plants. that's why the industries i'm moving to the united states. the americans are sitting pretty live there, okay. and of course, it was office that they would be doing very well and forcing the europeans to go against their interest in buying energy from the united states. but now the europe that leads a so whether to this policy that they're unable to conceive of abandonment. and so they have to just stick with it even though it's obviously a complete disaster. meantime, meantime georgia, i'll let you get out on this one. know that the future of the euro considering the industrial blink landscape for the european unit, where do you fall across the euro? i don't know one year or more from now. i think he's going to, going to decline because the drum, uh, particularly with his a treasury secretary of the scott best that will pursue the strong dollar policy. and you know that that's, that's what trump is committed to you is always on this the strong dollar. so this

is going to hurt your, i mean, because it may help of europe in exports. but i mean, we will have a, a weak euro, isn't it? no question. and trump is going to play hardball, particularly when it comes to power. if he's, he's absolutely going to keep the europe and exports from the american market. so that's, that is definitely to go to hook bureau. yeah, i will certainly see how the help buy is all my goodness me, george. i'm a senior research fellow with the global policy institute. thank you so much for your time. thank you very much. thank you. well, indian russian ties are set to sail to deepening cooperation and that is the message from india is defense minister. as he met with his russian count upon the pat discussing military and technical cooperation between the nations and the indian defense minister has a voice, the intention to even strengthen ties even further. but the russian federation, despite the fact that there are geo political challenges and there is enormous

pressure on india of a public and private nature. india has made a conscious decision that it will not only continue close contacts with russia, but will also deepen and expand our cooperation. we will always be together with our russian colleagues. the senior rooster unless of india is one of russia's key partners. and the relations between the 2 countries are of a particularly privileged strategic natures. the unprecedented level of trust between our states is evidenced by the intensity and depths of military and military technical cooperation which have great prospects for growth. i would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the defense ministry of the republic of india on the admission of the forget to show to the naval forces as the flag raising ceremony took place in collision grant with your participation mister administer, to indeed over now to the russian origin of to the ground, the baltic safeco was a newly built warship commission by the indian navy has been handed over on a grand ceremony, attended by new dallas defense minister. the story now picked up with all these

roman cousins of russia delivered another ship for the indian navy in the city of cleaning grad that. so she'll forget, of the $11356.00 projects is the 7th of its kind in the indian navy built at russian shipyards. it's a multi functional vessel that's where the relatively small displacement has high contact capabilities and surface land, underwater and air warfare. this should take you anywhere this or maybe it is obvious that in the near future cooperation between india and russia in this field will expand. we are working on a c chord or from russia's vladivostok to india is can i, most our countries are like the 2 orders of a row boat of partnership that will drive us forward. talk to you, i'm the earlier, the indian commission had successfully completed all acceptance tests as that. so should crew, under one freighting here in russia, the shift birthplace, the young saw our plan to use the best practices and at various technologies of

russian ship building as well. as its experience of similar projects for the russian fleet, you thought i was going to watch loose, i will not hide that. i am proud that another ship built by the skillful hands of russian ship build as will represent the combat strength of the indian naval forces . i wished good health for the ships, canada and its crew. we wish you success in our complex maritime affairs and proudly carried the national flag of india and the flag of the naval forces, maintaining the status of a maritime power. and i'm going to to show, is equipped for the drama supersonic missile system develops and manufactured by the russian indian joint venture called ramos aerospace, as well as other nationally manufacture systems. by the way, india is abramoff, subtract missile systems were also installed on the 1st free for gets another product of a 17 year long successful integration of russia and india. another 2 ships of this kind of currently being built with a russian assistance in india and the goal our ship yards limited. russia have

provided the indian ship builders with all necessary technical assistance, including the supply of documentation, materials, and equipment for the large number of indian spectators here in collision in grad. it was a unique opportunity to meet their very own administer of defense. as you can see, his navy in circles by a crowd of indians here and of course, so we spoke to some of the spectators to share with us what they felt on this special day. i'm very happy to be able to be in the idea in this event because in the address. yeah, i've been since a long time and this is the 7th last year we i get thing and it will be built very good, proud moment fall in the all because that she has all of us supported india and indiana. she obviously as is what she enjoys valve. yeah, they clearly restrooms to day, it was a very mean genuine of my life. this is the 1st time i'm saving of ownership in my life, and i'm so glad that it was i and i still, she liked dire weaknesses. it was

a great moment. and to see the relation between members are getting stronger, it's a very emotional, the brand new to show frigates is about to set sail and begin its voyage home to india. now walking through these holes of the ship, you can still smell the fresh paint. and of course, all of the works on the ship were done right here in russia. and i spoke to some of the people that helped make it beautiful. so this is the system with the we feel joy and our hearts as we are handing over the ship. we painted it. we feel proud because this was all done by our hands. it's a teacher joke. we feel sorry a bit, of course, like a piece of our heart is leading. we have been working on the ship for so long. we have already become so close to it because we even have tears in our eyes like this ship is ours. a lot of the rooms and it were painted by us, russian indian corporation is ship building also complies with the principles of the make and the
