the sonya is that of course go, mamma, cup that to me, i to there's a date or the the, the russian military academy cited series of attacks on ukraine's energy system responding to keep strikes on russian territory using western long range missiles earlier in the week. also ahead on the program, the payoff scripts, northern syria, with at least 6 people reported lead killed by the us buck syrian democratic forces using live amo to disperse. pride's demonstrating in support of the ruling h t s military in the u. s. rules at the red carpet for the was terrorist. now in control of syria, we look at high washington sponsored groups help bring about their suspicion is

because they seek to conquer another nation. to impose fundamentally security on the middle east, on the charter world. not a description of israel's actions in the middle east, but rather benjamin netanyahu addressing there really. and people attempting to shame to round over its foreign policies. it comes as the un condemn invest in yahoo governments. auctions force the reach of absolutely no basis on the international load to preventive leave will preemptively do some concrete with, like, i mean, if that were the case, it would be worth 55. ok, all the one minute past 6 in the evening this friday, and that's laura and by god on here in moscow. this friday, december, the 13th. welcome to the news. we begin with updates from the ground in the ukraine conflict, the russian m. o d se 7 more,

a settlement stop being secured by its troops. this week, 3 of the was our villages in russia's crushed region. and ukraine has lost more than $200.00 soldiers in 24 hours. the russian army has also destroyed 3 tanks, including 2 british challenger's most was defense, ministry reported and comes. so you printing army ser appropriate 12 follows and casualties across all the front lines this week alone, according to and will be officials. the russian military has carried out a sweeping attack on ukraine's energy system. the move is being described as retaliation to keep strikes on russia with western supply, long range weapons, on witness. they must go stated all of its set targets were head causing electricity. i to choose across ukraine. cube is now requesting additional power from its neighboring european countries. ortiz ego. she's almost half more, and it was a combined attack in which russia both used its missiles, cruise,

marseilles, and uh, unmanned drones to head critical energy infrastructure and ukraine. the zalinski has already complained that it was one of the most large scale attacks 2 days. now, it's not a record breaking run, but still it is very significant. and it is, it was crippling for once again for the ukrainian energy infrastructure upon so ukrainian sources suggest that right now the country has only enough power to supply energy to only about half of the country. but previous report suggested that basically ukraine has to balance between and to choose whether or not to supply households or the facilities of the military industrial complex, which need plenty of power to operate. and very often, this balance, well it kind of tips in favor of the latter. so really it's so the ordinary citizens who are bearing the brunt of these attacks that are meant to cripple ukraine's, while ukraine's military capabilities and military production capabilities to it is

meant to deny the supply of power to those industrial facilities who repair military vehicles. and so on and so forth. again, according to or ukrainian shows is at least a types of different weapons were used in this attack. as air raid sirens sounded all across ukraine and explosions of rocks about age regions of the country, including a key of a region including the very capital of ukraine, which is not which is, it's not a common occurrence. now when it comes to the reasons behind this attack on wednesday, indeed ukraine use the us made long range attack comes most solves to try and attack a method yet. field in russia, 7 town of chicken rug. uh, 2 of those most houses were shut down and the rest were sent astray by uh, by electronic wolf. uh, well those they did to you. they did still cool. is it some casualties and destruction on the ground?

no rush. it has been adamant from the very outset, from the very moment when the united states lifted the band on the use of the long range missiles is under use against targets deep within russian territory or rather, on the russian, on the internationally recognized against but internationally recognized the russian territory, the russian command, was adamant that those attacks would not do an onset, that russia would proportionally respond even sometimes was something that ukraine would view as even disproportionately. this was the 1st wave of these attacks. it prompted ukraine, or rather, if prompted to it prompted russia to use for the 1st time, it's brand new hypersonic ballistic. my saw a rushing and off to this use of to this attack. this strike attempt on wednesday by attack comes most of the united states and ukraine, the wound, and they will very wary that russia might use the rush, the ballistic meant. so again, it seems that sofa,

most school has abstained from going this far. but still the scale of this attacker, it is not very common. and for russia, basically, it says for now, this is, uh, this is it. we're going to stick to just these to just cruise missiles on the drones. if to speculate the rushes a abstinence from and basically russian not using of the rustic my solve this time, it could be really viewed as something of a gesture of goodwill and does basically assigning that they, they prepare the russian commodities prepared to show at least some restraint and at the same time showing that even without the ration crush is still very capable of dealing very some very painful and crippling strike against ukraine. must riley's got underway and syria today as low go celebrate at the end of the 50 year long aside from the rule images from

a central square in the mask of show thousands of people gathering for friday 1st prize waving the flag of the serino position, could be heard jumping revolutionary slogans as well. among the men in black combat gear, with body armor and guns, members of the highest to rear, i'll show more hitch ts terrace group. lots as a protest was meant by lisa violence in the northern syrian city of rockdale. and thursday of the 6 people were reportedly killed us. the u. s. bikes to re in democratic forces, which controlled the region open, fire to disperse, rival opposition demonstrators. the total number of casualties has not been confirmed before they chose immersion on social media of water occurred, gun fire could be heard and people at flat and public. the protesters are reported to have been rolling in support of hips. the system is switch up taking control of damascus. and indeed,

this is about organization securing that opposed president bashar assad, private residents of t obtain funding showing all been posing for a full so on the buildings roof as the on for their flag. the building was likely rated on sunday, after the former leader fled survey a day after a sod was always to the controversial us base theory, an emergency task force organization, celebrated with washington's national security advisor, r t sa skid taylor. she looked into the legs. sometimes the lady rarely dose protests too much mission accomplished. the syrian emergency task force is proud to announce that the aside regime, russia and iran had been officially defeated in syria by the syrian people on their own. and without any outside support from the international community. the story goes up from damascus to debt, as or syrians of rows up to shut the shackles,

all the assets through an ctf, which is that you need to is they have no skin at the gate. except we have the receipts on one of those receipts. so it's a $153000.00 ground from us 8. and another receipts is straight from the mouth of one of s e t. s. format execs. state department contracting. firms like access resources, knowledge ca, monex, creative associates, international. a number of the big contractors set up the contracts and pay the syrian emergency task force obeyed. you told the daily caller then are all be credentials, all these proud bystanders. starting with new eyes. mustafah new over the years regularly visited the terrace stronghold of it's a real beat for suffocating sanctions on assets, government. and is one of the obama foundations circle leaders of the future. and that really makes sense, given them

a stuff or was knee deep with both chips and i lived in a position during the 2011 arab spring, which we know like syria was also ross groups. there are times in the course of history when the actions of ordinary citizens spark movements for change because they speak to a longing for freedom that has been building up for years. south was also spoken at chatham house. his body is, i think these headlines so pretty clearly. he also has the air of the d. c. leak about his website once boasted about plus he had a side gig of settling lawmakers, the real syria even getting themselves with isis need is sorry, rebels on these terrorists were ton stateside iga to fill the pockets of the defense contractors. we need to take god, his air of capabilities. we need to take out his command and control. we need to

give the leading fighters the equipment that they need in order to succeed. that should be the policy so far that has not been promised. let's delta himself is no stranger to all mean. the flight has, has him in action and a 2014 documentary, for example. the good news is, is so excited to send weapons to syria, but he doesn't have when, where and how it would be sent in one box one batch. this is the 1st batch, the 2nd batch would be tanks this way, as you kind doing this money and who paid the money? then what does this american company do? they went to ukraine and found the weapons. yes, ukraine. s h u. s. policies happened to just so neatly align with the pen to goods . the button to russian lies documenting russian rule crimes. rooting out common

slides. syrian emergency task force director malls mustafah added that a desire to aid ukraine was another factor prompting the offensive with the aim of striking a blow against russia a mutual enemy. so it could be a coincidence of policies, so didn't trust. so maybe they have some classified information on pennsylvania avenue city of focuses are all through just a block away from the white house. so convenient that again. if it looks like a duck, swim is like a duck and quacks like a duck. then it's probably a government asset. we're really acting as an extension of the united states government. we've become a resource. then that's one of his policy advisors. tony, be dash of it. he's been a full team, his as a parks head of communications. and now was in a storm, chainsaw in a spring time, which ones pools of as well for american academics who knows, maybe the next one will include the now occupied golan heights. and that's just

a highlight reel of se, ts stuff. so yes, the end you might be a poor doing the syrians hard walk, but make no mistake. those same thing hands worked well. how didn't glove to bring about assets, demise, and all. so in a new democratic chapter, what are your hopes and fears for what the next phase will be for your country? my fear is outside intervention intervention by authoritarian states, whether they may be our allies or enemies in the region that want to see, you know, they are afraid of democracy. you know, they want to see like another military dictator or something that's a huge deal. um, so making sure that countries that didn't help us in our fight against a dictator do not intervene now and in any way hinder our road to a country for its people by its people. yes,

pays no hang during the road now being taken. slipped throats, public hangings, point blank executions and isis, fax, a new door for damascus, just as the s c t at so tirelessly. no need for. well, we spoke to a former advisor to x and middle east peace on boy. tony blair political strategist, she's pressure. he says that u. s. involvement in syria had less than altruistic interest of its core. it is quite clear the us has been trying to do this, assessing yes and accelerate everything they did right now in the and the reason they accelerated the west has ravaged them, at least as you know, historically in the name of democracy, even that we can't get a real election in the united states, and they've been doing this model with a rack and everything else and using sectarianism to drive people up top and for the use in groups specifically and they use

n g o as helped fund them out. let them create like a whole sense of an economy. take a live, they basically lifted the city, which in on is this lead to support it with n g, a supported with other results here. so it looks like a functioning society. when in fact, it was basically an authoritarian regime over that city. now expect the same with syria, a syria. why? why does syria right now? knowledge on it, his terrorist forces are in charge of the syria. you're going to see the us pop it up with n g a is the full health care everything else. all of the big organizations will fund things that will potentially provide syrians with a better life. but in reality, you still have an authoritarian regime in there that will only do what the us as of us once in the end game, is to extract as much result is from the middle east as they can. they use as early as this proxies has made a tree outlet that it can bomb anyone they want. but the division of the in game in game is because they keep keep they using the streaming screw. this putting in the

form of a cabinet, the government in that, that will, that will be the majority for some and create internal conflict like you swing around the 20 plus years. oh wow. the us is extracted results is all while the us is taking the land in the middle east and is not actually directly involved in a conflict that boots on the ground and not getting shut out because they're focused on like extracting gas oil. while those critic carrying complex taken place that they started, they instigated well, as mentioned, the militants high up to rear alshaun has seized control of the syrian capital and most of the nation's territory. following the power grub us secretary of state on to me, blinking publicly declared washington support for the part of the electric with various functions on our racing to stick a claim on volleyball, horrible, and energy rich loans. adding to that may have done the certainty in buffalo and syria. let's take a closer look at just who controls was currently in the nation in the north. the

yellow marks areas held by the u. s. box. are we in democratic forces, which is allegedly linked to the p k. k, a regional kurdish insurgency group, and he's, that's has their enemies turkish bach militants have taken over the city of non beach. all of the green is controlled by high up to rear alshaun terrorists. meanwhile, another organization still reportedly buying for control over syria is the army residents of which are determined to keep fighting against the terrorist h t. s group, former officers and soldiers from the elite tiger special forces. unit of we grouped in the mountainous regions near the lebanese border pledging to control the struggle. we have been fighting terrorism for 15 years in syria. we didn't withdraw, we didn't surrender. what happened recently? we don't consider it a surrender. we're going back to the back line and we are going to fight. i wanna add something more into all. this is real. another force a play in the turmoil. the idea of late to strike is hit. the ton of must be off on

the homes, countryside and central syria. its own feathered shows, attacks and military equipment, vehicles and infrastructure in the in buffalo country. these really army has reportedly destroyed up to 80 percent of serious strategic military assets and specialists out with austin, bike h t. s estimates as well as age really emissions expand in the middle east with the chaos in syria. the prime minister has turned his attention to they are really and people in a tell a volume is the drugs you're pressure. spend over $30000000000.00 supporting us an answer today. after only 11 days of fighting is you collapse into the dust. your presence spent billions supporting come us and god today, very streamlined rooms. your pressure spent over $20000000000.00 supporting his body level. in a matter of weeks,

most of his bottles liters. it's rockets and thousands of and stores went up in smoke. the money your present stole from. you literally went up in smoke. you must be furious. imagining the new roads, schools, hospitals, that kind of been built with tens of millions of dollars you would dictate is wasted back in tears almost over and over. it's because they seek to conquer other nations. to impose fundamentalist germany on the memories on the charter world. nothing. yeah, this message seems like a direct call outs to iranians painting himself as their knights in shining armor here to save them from the clutches of evil. but hold on beating. you can't even get your own people on board, let alone went and got over their warranty and people. so and his persian subtitled message, he went on and on about the weakening of what he called. it was access of terror.

that's the term he likes to use for the access of resistance. so he called out to give on for focusing more on steering. got trouble in that region done on improving things at home. of course on nothing. yeah. who also said to yvonne is that their leaders are most afraid of them. so this message feels like he's trying to steer the pot in a while. and rather than extend an olive branch, his latest message comes on the heels of the shower, less sides downfall in syria. and it was withdrawal of forces from its neighboring and strategic neighboring country. of course, according to reports, citing is really military brass, v i, d, f, seize this new opportunity as the perfect chance to strike it was nuclear sides following a sad solve and the destruction of serious air defense systems. and by the idea of so never claimed it was all, it was big planned to conquer all other nations and play the tyrant, of course i. but when you look at the,

as well as the own military operations in gaza, syria, i live in on the united nations has also censured this as a breach of international law. justin in recent days in syria for the destruction of the syrian air force when they're on north pilots. because syria has no functioning government or military that can fly those planes at the moment. there is absolutely no basis on the international law or to preventively or preemptively disarm a country. you don't like, i mean, if that were the case, it would be a recipe. 5 global chaos because lots of countries have groceries they would like to see that without without weapons. and this is, this is completely lost that there is absolutely no basis in an international law or to do it. so what it really here trying to concord syria, yvonne, or as well, of course. so if we were here at your wants comments in the past days, the one has maintained that it's been present in syria all these years on the

syrian governments request to tackle terrorism in the, our country. as well as case, what's permission has been thoughts before its military actions and syria. now, with all the mixed signals between his words and actions, it's hard to say if babies message really landed with the iranian crowd from to around political. i have a list to run university academic side, but how many were on the drawing just live? no, it for further discussion. good to see you sir. thank you. p m, that's in yahoo very clear there a by to he views as the main threat to regional stability. do you believe other regional actors share the same sentiment? i think anyone who has been watching the events in gaza and the ongoing pilot costs for the last 14 months know exactly who

is the genocidal monster and who is the entity on which entity it is that has created devastation and destruction is rarely regime is destroyed guys, up, it is flat and cities in leaven on it target civilians. its focus has always been on civilians because it cannot went on the battlefield. it whenever it lost it has the law. it would find the cities whenever it was news to the resistance in gaza, it would bomb the city and flattened the city. and we saw this thing in syria. we saw how they repeatedly bomb the country and how they've also taken man. so no one sees this genocide of a maniac in a positive light. in fact, i think that the more he speaks to you, ronnie, and the better it is for iran, because the p is so immensely disliked by people across the board.

and the, at the thinking behind this is it that he expects protests or an uprising to come from. his words is not the end. okay. well, if that's what he thinks it shows that he knows nothing about iran nothing. yahoo is a person who thinks about knitting yahoo, the genocide in gaza. contrary to what many people are now saying in, in western media, the genocide only the genocide and cause it has destroyed this way the machine. this is for the 1st time people across the world have woken up and see what this way the regime is all about it. this is the, legitimize the regime in the eyes of so many people across the world and universally, in our region that may not have a, a, a,

a destructive impact to the regime today. it will bring down the regime in future. the machine is raining, you machine used to pretend that it is the victim. it spoke about the holocaust which had nothing to do with this region. it was a european crime, a german crime in particular, which also had to do with slides and others were just as much victims as anyone else. no one sees the regime as a victim anymore. no one sees the regime as normal. they see it as an abnormal race is anjenet file and i think that is the greatest defeat. so while netanyahu thinks he's winning 5, by carrying outs and assigning cause that by carrying out genocidal attacks another non even in syria with knitting, you know, who has done is that he ship,

he's shown that he's in bed with air though on the united states. and others to destroy syria is by invading sere at the time when these extremist groups take the country. and that these extreme is groups showing no reaction. he is exposing the nature of these groups. ordinary syrians are gradually seeing their country being taken away from them. they are seeing their country being bombed in night and they're seeing that mr. add ons, outside the troops are doing nothing about it. so nothing yahoo to his own selfishness because he's promoting himself. he's leaking, weakening his gene and he's weakening his allies. if he was ever any and political level as professor aside mohammed murder on the live from to run. thank you. thank you. no, i have a money. will my phone has been appointed us then you french prime minister, marking the 4th time that's happened this year alone, francois

b room takes up the role as power struggles with a growing political process. let's pro $5.00 to our to country peter rate. sho marston in the french capital. at rachel? i goes barty a in comes b route. what do we know about the new, latest french pm on the big question willy last longer than the other? or hey, you know those uh christmas advent calendars with the little doors that you open up every day in december and find a little chocolate inside. well, it looks like france here has just invented his own twist on it. where every day you wake up to a new prime minister behind today's door is false. what? by who he's a centrist establishment. the fixture close to mac home, whose knives the astounding feet of making it to the right page of $73.00, without ever really doing very much in french politics on the national scene. despite running for president 3 times, the fact that a lot of french probably didn't even notice until today, and everybody's being reminded of it. i guess also kind of make some and

threatening though, because he really hasn't been a threat to anything crazy. politically. he was the education minister for a few years at the end of the last century, and also your deputy at the you around the same time. he was not calls justice minister for about a month. let's hope you last longer this time, although it's not looking good. um that was went back home was 1st elected president in 2017 and it was kind of a consolation prize for dropping out of that race to support medical again, probably most people are just learning now that he ran against mexico. but then he had to bill out of that job within just days. because the party that he was leading the modems got caught up in a scandal for misuse of european union funds to pay for assistance who are supposed to be working at the you. but who actually ended up working for the party and not, not for the you at all or for the reps there. so biber was personally acquitted at trial here in paris earlier this year. but 5 other representatives from his party

were convicted. he's also been the mirror of the south western town of pool, and infamously, ended up reckoning himself during that campaign not talking politically. he landed in the hospital with open fractures requiring about 3 and a half hours of surgery all because he tried to charge me warrior or american gladiator style, again, this guy, 73 years old. so you must be around 60 to get sign up a 2 and a half meter high enclosure at a rugby stadium, rather than use the front entrance like everybody else. and he did this. why? because he said he didn't want to miss the kick off. now that the people so anyway, that's the latest contest in mack holes game of survivor, french prime minister edition, the mac calls 4th prime minister this year, the last one mission back in the 8 a former you brags that negotiator from the establishment right party circles.

these old party political family and they have the account, the last of the whole, 90 days on the job before the anti establishment. right and left. stop pulling at each other's hair long enough to join forces and kicking him out in a non confidence motion over a budget that they oppose. that would have meant klein back income for the already heavily put upon french working class. now nicole has recently been leading with f t blind to please, please work with this new guy wherever i end up choosing. and now we know who that is. and at least just give him a chance. he was quite clearly a big mad that he had to racked his brain to come up with a new p. m, taking to t v just last week, calling the move unprecedented this and our confidence voted using the opposition of fostering instability in france. something that the majority of french actually a tribute to mac home that's according to all the latest pools. and yeah, it is unprecedented because nicole, unlike other french presidents refuses.
