[000:00:00;00] the, the no, it stays far. only pub in a piece by the way, but his head most go won't send little of a short term solutions that may be a tier read vantage on the front line. more than any. is it possible to stop the facilities? right? now, there is a depletion of combat equipment and munition. and most importantly, personnel on the part of the screening on forces armies moving forward to stop for the week means to give the enemy the chance to gain a foothold on their positions. vehicles out the west for a fide, take a 2017 jewelry, you suggest they name a location in the plane and bringing any defense they want. russia would fly or
6:01 pm
it's new type personnel. we saw it very smart, sensitive, concentrate, older air defense and missile defense forces there. and we will strike there with the ocean and see what happens. we are ready for such an experiment, is the other side ready? and a set of questions ending his and danny for the hall file 2 and a session the russian president explained why he does not surprise any react to any insults from abroad. to cut comes the way to do what you say is what you are. and this has done, in my opinion, out of importance. and why should we demonstrate this importance? we have enough arguments to state our position clearly. on the entire house, the level of the cost goes up by the input. bought a need is really the news outlooks, publishes accounts of idea of more crimes witnessed by fellow soldiers, including the tooling of
6:02 pm
a child. the, it's good to have a company today for the lakes is global news roundup. i'm. i'm on a and this is our t international. russia doesn't need a to is it needs. and last thing piece, that's the central message from vladimir put about the plain confident during his viras in q and a session. i mean, so to advise you, even if this is a sincere attempt to find a solution making your, you know, of you, this attempt is balanced and nothing posing on either side. that is why it is being put forward by neutral countries that do not interfere in the conflict like western countries do who are actually at war with us using ukrainians as proxy. so they are actually a belligerent party. is it possible to stop the hostilities right now? there is a depletion of combat equipment, munitions, and most importantly, personnel on the part of the ukranian armed forces. army is moving forward to stop for a week means to give the enemy the chance to gain a foothold on their positions to take
6:03 pm
a break and get the necessary equipment and i, munitions, letting people in ukraine i snatched from the streets like straight dogs. as i already said at the ministry of defense, they are snatched like stray dogs, but at least those are brought to shelters for straight animals. and then they tried to assign them to families. but here they simply throw people in the firing line. we need piece, long term lasting piece with guarantees for the russian federation and you're, it is a difficult question of how to provide these guarantees. but in general, we can look for it as for short term truces. the prime minister of hungry mister orbits approached me with this proposal as to what so difficult for you to have a christmas truth for a day or 2. i said, well yes, that's probably true. but 1st people talk to the ukranian side. we agreed at least 3 times, 2 events of this kind on shipping in the black sea and on energy infrastructure and so on. then air gun also made proposals, and suddenly the head of the ukranian regime announced has no negotiations. no true . so i think then i call him, i say, to the gun, what's happened? he says, well, that's what our partners are like i asked or, but to he also propose the christmas truth. he also proposed an exchange of
6:04 pm
prisoners. i did not refuse it the next day, the head of the regime announced that there would be no truth, no prisoner experience. i think i was on it. so i can say that was right to the hearts of the action during the direct line with that of inputs. and she will tell us how reactions the smallest you creak. he needs the soul off to that absolutely, marissa and press conference. my 1st time actually in the pool itself. what really stood out to me was how the energy of president pushing it just didn't display over the course of those 4 hours in 27 minutes. and he was just moving with such ease between a huge range of stories from the domestics to the foreign from mortgages, to military advances from natural disasters to the art open negotiation. no, of course a huge chunk of the president's was what dedicated to the conflict in ukraine. that was one of the most off about topics when it comes to requests from russian citizens. a few highlights,
6:05 pm
i do want to bring you starting with the document pritchens comment about the hypersonic missile edition, which was recently deployed a few weeks ago against a military industrial facility in ukraine. the preaching, it was very clear, this is a projectile that absolutely has no e quote. and if you don't believe austin, why not happened? this will say, so. you got you some experts in the west believe that such a imbecile is easy to shoot down. well, if those western experts think so, let them offer us and let them offer those in the west in the us who pay them for their analysis to conduct some kind of technological experiment. say a height taking dual up the 21st century. let them identify some object to destroy, say in key of concentrate older air defense and missile defense forces there. and we will strike there with your rational and see what happens. we are ready for such an experiment. is the other side ready? what? ok to me that was a little tongue in cheek,
6:06 pm
but something that i really noticed was one continuing thought. idea on when pitching was discussing. what ad defense is, key of has audits. disposal. he said, we need to ask all guys that what they have um and you said diesel is so people who want to where does that country? oh, it's to me must elements. and possibly i, i thought the strong impression that the russian leader was actually in contact with people, most of the minutes really put potentially even the political leads to. but of course, to almost every single question that was about the was the focus was on negotiation has to be noted. the delay of the land, as he talked today, is very different course to the late of the land as it was in is to vote during those peaceful from the spring of 2022, which was stopped by the british prime minister at the time. forest johnson on a probably that was not you just one of 3 deals that most go until you have signed with a key of each time,
6:07 pm
then tearing it up. what also cropped up was cubes of patrons, namely those on the european continent. and the view from the kremlin seems to be on this day of absolute is shop themselves in the foot, not just financially, but in terms of security to open a pi, a crew of ukraine has cutoff, our guess applies to european consumers. on the one hand, it picks from their hands because only with the support of the west, including from europe, can it exist, not only to fight, but to exist. and at the same time, it creates problems for them by cutting off the supply of our relatively cheap gas to europe. there would be no such contract to, to go everything is already clear. well then all right, we will survive and guess from wizard by this, by the way, our special services recently reported to me that in slovakia some of those have been detained and it is clear that they are ukrainians of what they're doing with maps of the location of gus energy facilities. in slovakia,
6:08 pm
i will ask through partner channels about that. it's not enough that we have terrorist attacks. now the european countries have them as well. i repeat, once again, they feed from the hand, pick from the hand, and have already moved on to attempts to carry out terrorist attacks on the territory of europe. so finally, on the conflict and ukraine, i do want to bring you the response to question from the bbc. because i think very comprehensively covered the longstanding western aptitude towards this, the world's largest nation. that alternate about exactly 25 years ago. boris yeltsin resigned handed over power to you and told you to take care of russia. now after 25 years, do you think you have done that successfully? because from the outside, what do we see? we see significant losses in the so called special military operation that you announced, we see ukrainian soldiers in the course region. you criticize nato expansion, but nato has increased at russia's borders. there are sanctions,
6:09 pm
high inflation and demographic problems. so do you believe you have protected your country? yeah, sure, 3rd, i believe that not only protected russia, but also pulled it back from the brink of the abyss. everything that was happening to russia before and after was leading us to a complete and total loss of our sovereignty. without sovereignty, russia cannot exist as an independent state. i would like to draw your attention to what you said regarding boris nikolai, which yeltsin everything seemed fine. he was patronizingly patted on the back, and no one even noticed when he occasionally had a drink while he was very well liked in old western circles. but as soon as he raised his voice in defense of yugoslavia, as soon as he stated that this contradicted international law and the un charter. and as soon as he said that it was unacceptable in modern europe to strike belgrade the capital of a european state without the sanction of the un security council, he was immediately persecuted and labeled an alcoholic and other derogatory terms. don't you remember this? i did everything to ensure that russia remains and independent and sovereign power,
6:10 pm
capable of making decisions in its own interests rather than in the interest of those countries that were trying to draw it toward themselves while patting it on the back for their own purposes. nothing now beyond rochelle pulls the crisis and syria was touched upon. and that the energy that i saw was that most go was tip toeing a little bit. it felt that have to be cautious and diplomatic because of course it's a very complex region. so many players involve the summer to rush to cooperate with on international platforms. one thing though, the russian need was absolutely categorical about and that was on who had the most to gain from the toppling of to, to, to deal with just to get those to buy a turkey. so he's doing everything to ensure it security on it's southern borders during the developments in syria to create conditions for the return of refugees freeze from its territory to other territories of syria, which are concentrated on the territory of syria, which is actually under the control of turkey can some think of pushing back
6:11 pm
perhaps in the kurdish formations from the border. all this is possible, perhaps, to some extent it will even be done. but still, the main beneficiary of the events taking place in syria, in my opinion is these are real and you can have any attitude towards what is real is doing. russia condemns the seizure of any syrian territories. our position here is not subject to any adjustment, but israel is also solving issues related to security for itself. actually, this is the line on the golden heights. a well known line of israel has advanced to a depth of 25 kilometers to a provocative question by the n b. c. you suggested the collapse of assets regime on the latest subsequent cling to. moscow could be considered a strategic defeats for russia. the head of state absolutely disagree. the 1st one is about the president elect to a trump. mister president, you have failed to reach the objectives of your special military operation.
6:12 pm
knowledge and numbers of russians have died including a general assassinated here. we must go this week and the leader of syria who you supported has been over simone. mister president's, when you face president elect to trump, you will be the weak elidah. how do you propose to compromise? what are you going to offer? yeah, that was good to me. i am ready to meet with trump at any time the you said that this conversation will take place in a situation where i will be in some we can state list of your colleagues interest. and i say, dear, because despite all the persecution of our press, we allow you to work in russia and you do it freely. you and those people who pay your salaries in the united states would very much like russia to be in a week and stay on hold a different point of view. russia has become much stronger over the past 2 to 3 years. why? including in the readiness of our armed forces. today, i can confidently say it isn't the highest place in the world. almost all nato
6:13 pm
countries are at war with us. the internal state of the russian troops is such that perhaps no other army in the world has today. therefore, i believe that russia is largely in the state. we were striving for. it has become a truly silver in the country. and i do want to finally finish on what's the me and i think for a lot of people who sat in the school today was possibly the most touching moment of the entire event. and that was when boots and was all about how the war has positively affected him as being how have you changed in the last 3 years? was nice to know which seeming yeah, you know, we only change. we change every day, every hour. i always tell you frankly, we are joking now and there is left during the whole. i started joking list and almost stopped laughing. i will say, you know, it was astonishing that was just a moment just a few seconds off that those words were that was just awesome. i mean truly deafening. silence in the room that remind our hundreds,
6:14 pm
if not more of us here. and i think we will really taken aback not necessary you find the words themselves from the sentiment, but by the sincerity. you know, i think we tend to humanize politicians, especially pulls heads of state we see and going out that suited them through to that retract thinks defense committees are addressing parliament. the speaking at concepts attempted by hundreds of thousands. we lose anyone about the fox. they all just genuinely human at the end of the day, that sentence just a few words really i think brought home to everyone in the room. how difficult that decision was for providing that person back in february 2022. but also how fundamentally he is just a russian citizen, like the 145000000, all those who wake up and watch the news, to pray for the loved ones to come back safe and sound from the front line. he feels the sadness and the tragedy that of course, the whole country is going through at the moment. so i mean,
6:15 pm
it really was at pick that was a motion and there were a couple of of funny moments too. and i do want to show that even amongst their slight emotional and obviously very heavy subjects that well. so a couple of moments of lightness to to come comes the way. it's what you say is what you are. and this is done in my opinion, out of importance. and why should we demonstrate this importance? we have enough arguments to state our position clearly. and yet no, i have long built myself up to the fact that everything i have to do, i have to do with pleasure. then you don't wish that i don't think it will be necessary. just like some people from ukrainian political leadership went abroad. he's likely to do the same. he will be taken in by the people whose he serves today . if he pops up like the devil out of the note and says, i need political asylum. russia does not to and it's back on any one of the
6:16 pm
different sites. well, that's what biden, you know, he is a politician and it's always important to consider what is more prevalent in you, the politician or the human being. it turns out that there is more of a human invite and i wouldn't blame him for that. i see it took russia, of course, is the map you can see, 1st of all, like any country. these are huge territories, but it's not just the territory. it's the history, the culture. these are our customs and traditions that is old russia. but still, the most important thing is that people, i see russia as a family. so that is a 2020 full press conference on the 21st so called direct line over an hour we are done, we stopped before and a half hours. i didn't get to ask my question, but you know what pitching has been doing this since 2001. so fingers crossed, i'll be back here in 2025, and maybe next time he'll give me
6:17 pm
a shout saves you full. i'm a direct and so in to come, governmental affairs of the us trade representative says that puts his openness to questions from western jealous showcases is a didn't see and see this this when it comes to tackling tough questions from the media. as well as how many times of western media and us media claim the food was on his death bed. you might already be dead. and yet you see him go in, gosh, to talk to joe with western journalists, because uh, the same time that the russian journalists are not allowed to report allows us to conduct the interviews with with you as president biden, which would be a disaster compared to what we just saw the president who, you'll hopefully win prize. the trump comes in. there will be a relaxation of, of these propaganda. the blocks that keep but you have the truth we're being told about to balance the overhead. and certainly from those areas that the ukranian 5,
6:18 pm
again just the only reports that we get, this is your western media just, you know, blind labor feet and an impulse emphasized i thought it was particularly interesting with that, as i put in, acknowledge that the assassination of the russian general was being acknowledged by the rest of the news media as some sort of a terrorist attack or an assassination. something that the by itself is a little bit unique. and i think that it'd be pointed that out in this interview as well. i guess the fact that he could do this long term open ended interview with, with a, a very bad as the thing that shows that he is probably in charge not only of his faculties, but his physical capabilities and is not afraid to address. even though you critical media as he did in this area, well, if he in this the actions don't worry, we have all the highlights. the inputs is myra thing, q and a session, a website on the dot com. hello, certainly will cost you them throughout the day here. not the travel of cheap
6:19 pm
international. the midwife has sold as low as a missile site on south west and russia on wednesday. most goes depends. but if he says you pray and find a nice 6 us a pack and brokers and full british store shut themselves during the bottom bottom against the rust of region. opposite you cars were the same. those as the details. yeah, well it took place in a rock star, which is a russian territory a long way from the front lines and ukrainians, fired. 6 attack comes and we saw it was an american this on for storm shadows of british long range cruising as of now, one thing that you don't hear routinely in the western media, you hear about the stikes, you hear about the escalation by supplying these weapons for use onrush and therapy . would you don't hear, but the fact that the russian air defenses con and routinely to destroy them and shoot them out of the sky on this occasion. that's exactly what happened. all. but
6:20 pm
one of these missiles that were fired at the kaminsky combine plant in real stuff were destroyed and they were destroyed by russian air defense systems like the s 400, like the book and 3 like the pun, sir. remember, russia is probably at the forefront globally of air defense systems. so, uh, you know, despite this escalation, rocher kind of handled them the russian ministry of defense and said it won't go on on search. but what's also important is the fact that the context that this comes in presidents zalinski, is in europe, the talking to a so called partners and talking about, you know, demanding and immediate entry into nato. and while the corporate a group, if you like, of the nato block of who supports them and phones and are saying, you know, we will start to ukraine will continue to do so. separately, things look a little bit differently at countries like germany refusing to supply taurus at long range missiles to zalinski,
6:21 pm
which is another luggage you look at the storm shadow and the scout was fired and the scope of the storm showed that was for the rough stuff you've got belgium, a refusing or unable, it says to provide f. 16 jets for their jets to ukraine this year. and you got the police saying, look, we can't supply anymore aircraft. we tend to actually support with much of anything else because we're at the bottom of the bag. we can't do any more for you claim. let's have a listen to exactly what they had to say. it just shows me that we really gave what we could. we support and will continue to support ukraine. mojdeh. nothing we all against that. that's what we can guess. let's say that we are approaching the extreme mock. it doesn't mean i see. we reached the wall. we are running into a wall. we are running into a wall for them. yeah, so as you can see here, the desperation continues the strikes, essentially in effective against russian territory. that the biggest risk of them probably isn't gonna have an impact on the front lines where russia was present.
6:22 pm
improvement said today isn't advancing in meters. it's advancing in kilometers. it's probably going to be on an attempt to escalate, to get russia to lose its nerve and to do something radical in response ahead of president trump appointment on the 28th of january. and we've had a michael carpenter, an advisor to president at a bite and saying, look, basically right now this is all up to trump. we're kind of out of the game here. and we know the president trump has a very, very different view of the conflict. and ukraine, he's promised to end this very quickly. and it's really this gap now between now and january 20th with key a may continue to try and escalate the military effects of which amenable as we can see. but the political effects hoping that russia will again break its poll ease and let them know the truth will do something, according to their schedule, is probably the biggest risk or likely, but we watch this space. well, you know,
6:23 pm
what are these have press charges against the main suspect in keeping oval estimate in general in go to that of a must have cool adult or the say need a big national to be reminded in custody before while he faces accusations of committing and acts of terrorism as well as illegally possessing an explosive device. nice. russian, i these vehicles are, these have been trying to determine whether he have any direct. a compass is this, as an agent is with ease of being or cause. i didn't buy the plant in secret services by the inputs. it had spoken by phone about the incident with the president of his but his son, who offered his condolences, the 10 times to strengthen the countries empty terrorism efforts by the middle east. now a major is really news outlet has published accounts of these really will crimes
6:24 pm
witnessed by idea of sol just. they spoke about cutting civilians in gaza. the forces in the field call it the line of dead bodies. after shootings, bodies are not collected. attracting packs of dogs who come to eat them in gaza. people know that wherever you see these dogs, that's where you must not go. it's military white washing, the division commander designated this area as a kill zone. anyone who enters a shot a detailed report by as well as oldest newspaper i had, reveals rare and shocking testimony from serving his really soldiers and officers exposing open fire policies in gauze on that has led to indiscriminate. the killings and reverend lawlessness and the so called nets having court, or it is a 7 to under wide strip of land stretching from these really boulder to the mid. it's a rated and seen effectively slicing garza into the idea has forcibly clear that this area of palestinians,
6:25 pm
demolishing homes and buildings to establish military positions and build roads. all those i had spoke to chose not to reveal the names yet. they all share. similar stories. troops patrolling the corridor have strict orders to shoot anyone who enters. everyone is treated as an enemy, whether man, woman, or child. yes, the exact boundaries of the zone remain unclear even to the soldiers themselves. as one account describes the kill zone extends as far as a sniper can see. the report also reveals that the figure is published by the i d f . often the notes reflect the true situation on the ground. what officer we called a case when the idea of spokesperson claimed that their forces had killed over $200.00 militants, while in fact, after inspecting the documents and personal belongings of the deceased, only 10 were confirmed as a mass all protects a fact that was never made public,
6:26 pm
another soldier noticed that some units were even competing over kill counts. for the division, the kill zone extends as far as a snipe. i can see with killing civilians there who are then counted as terrorists . the id, spokespersons announcements about casualty numbers have turned this into a competition between units. if division 99 kills 150 people, the next unit aims for 200 and others really 5 for recalls. a striking moment when a surveillance drones voted for on on the goals and smoking peacefully and dislike, no evidence suggesting they were militants. a tank moved in and opened fire with his machine gun. the man remembers hundreds of bullets. 3 were killed instantly while the 4th wounded, but still alive, surrendered, unaware of what would happen next. we put them in a cage set up near our position, stripped off his clothes and left him their soldiers passing by spat on him. it was disgusting. finally, a military interrogator came questioned him briefly while holding
6:27 pm
a gun to his head, then ordered his release. later, officers praised us for killing terrorists. i couldn't understand what they meant. it's really military added that after a day or 2, the bodies were buried in the sand. by a bulldozer and other soldier recounted an incidents where they killed an innocent child. one time guard spotted someone approaching from the south, we responded as if it was a large militant raid. we took positions and just open fire. i'm talking about dozens of bullets. maybe more for about a minute or 2, we just kept shooting at the body. people around me were shooting and laughing. we approached the blood covered body, photographed it and took the phone. he was just a boy, maybe 16 that evening. our battalion commander congratulated us for killing a terrorist, saying he hoped we'd killed 10 more tomorrow. when someone pointed out he was on armed and looked like a civilian, everyone shouted him down to the out of this report comes some mountain concerns
6:28 pm
over these really military is controversial and traveling conduct and guides on actions. the army itself has a time is confirmed. we do is circulating a line so idea of forces bombing homes and entire neighborhoods in gaza, often accompanied by jokes and celebrates or a remarks and growing sense of the human eyes ation and impunity. him on his really soldiers, hayes, undeniable. israel's defense minister has openly recently declared that after him off his defeated israel will retain security control and gaza with quote unquote, full freedom of action. and that circle freedom is in fact already on display. in one of the latest souls, they come all at one hospital home to the last function intensive care unit and northern gaza was hate. a fire broke out for senate out of service, the hospitals, director of nurse and describe the scene as a night full of horror. we was surprised as tanks and bulldozers entered the
6:29 pm
vicinity of campbell at one hospital. that was preceded by a terrifying shelling of the home surrounding the medical facility. some houses were formed, they collapsed on the heads of the residents. we could hear cries for help, but unfortunately we were unable to do anything. we were shocked by the southern gunfire from all sorts of weapons directed to come all at one hospital. the intensive care unit was targeted. it was clearly being fired upon by some miracle, we managed to evacuate the patients as a blaze erupt, it inside the intensive care unit. it was the only remaining intensive care unit in northern gaza. thank god, we managed to control the fire. it was a miracle that we evacuated the patients who were on ventilate as an oxygen support . the situation was catastrophic. it remains extremely dangerous. and ty, towns and cities across scows that have been reduced to rubble, diverse states and images of rough while hun units revealed is caleb destruction.
6:30 pm
we contacted these really army for comment on this. we send out it's report. as of now, we have received no response as well, but so for this news i'll, as always, is going to have your company here on the bank. so what the sweet, the nice the, what so striking for me is this contrast. but in california where some people, i, so rates and other people are very well making and that's a, that's a call cost of the whole united states that there's worried about for,
