the research on the brick and use an artsy rest as far administer sage from supp. rhodes must go to establish a dialog on the ukranian conflict bypassing the west declared. don't freedom of not a single word. how far you bring with tide cute brain. while it is clear that ahmed l sharah and his associates are now under enormous pressure from the west. feeling questions from national on global media circle of ralph also reveal nato state. so being pressuring the new authorities in syria to see things cooperation with more scope and that's of the

fighting continues in north western syria area heavily populated by olive white's. h t. s. lead story. and officials have confirmed 14 of its troops killed in clashes with supporters of hosted president sharp alice up the wherever you're catching the program from today. i run the world. welcome to moscow on the global use round up here on our t international russian foreign ministers. certainly a lot for off. how stated that friends offered to help most school establish a dialog on ukraine. but with i t of its participation. we will do that. let's have defender still, i will not delve into detail not to let anyone down. but several times a french colleagues addressed us via restricted channels to secure channels, offering help and establishing dialogue on the ukrainian matter without ukrainian participation, violating the much daunted principle of the west. you're not a single word about ukraine without you crying. well,

we are ready to proceed contacts, we are ready to listen to what they have to say. but at the same time from says being the main champion of sending. so it's so cold, peace keeping troops to ukraine, and they have been training ukrainian troops on this soil. and they keep saying in public that russia should be hit further. and ukraine should have stronger positions when talks begin. so, you know, it's very a big us and therefore we don't have a desire to take our french colleagues initiatives in earnest money. but we're now seeing that francis basically contradicted itself saying one thing and public support. and one thing in public, by them behind the scenes going pretty much behind zalinski, is back and flying to broker and agreements with russia. so it's interesting, what was the landscape have to say about that? was he aware? and at the same time, how legitimate is this agreement that they're talking about and proposing? because we have seen your play and officials in the past using disagreements, for example, the minutes agreements only to buy themselves time and make you crazy,

stronger, and make sure that they have more weapons for example. now. so is this a genuine request for an agreement? and again, was aware about this. let's have a less than some more backup system solution. if the fall we hear is talk about the need to come up with some kind of troops. and it's not hidden that this truce is needed in order to gain time to continue on and ukraine to put themselves in order to carry out additional mobilization and so on. a truce is the way to know when we need final legal agreements that will contain all the conditions for ensuring russian security and the legitimate security interest of on neighbors. but in the context of which will be an international legal way to consolidate the impossibility of violating these agreements, they should festival address the root causes of the ukrainian crisis. i see the 2 main causes which off 1st, the violation of the obligations not to advance nato, to the east,

and the aggressive takeover by nato of the entire g. a political space up to our voters. and the 2nd root cause of course, is the absolutely racist actions taken by the key average the off to the cool to her with her at this time and time again from russian officials what is needed to resolve this conflict. vladimir putin has been talking about it in fact for decades . and we regards to no nato expansion east towards, for example. but it seems that the west is not listening and not the same time. moscow is costly saying that the west needs to prioritize its own citizens, which it's not doing, for example, the e u sanctions, which were supposed to hurt russia. and we've seen now the statistics that show that they've actually shot themselves in the foot and their own citizens are being damaged because of this. so must go same, put the focus back on your citizens 1st. always know, gets come from this end of your immediate confidence. don't say what sort of a love roll off at russian us relations delve into as well. what was said,

of course, everyone's curious to find out, well, any, some change and america's foreign policy. when trump takes over in january, and again, there is hope box knowledge to know better at the same time. because what mr. lab robust said is, even if the trump was student wants to normalize relations with russia, will the ruling elite allow that to happen? because we know that the bar patterson, governments in the west is not looking to allow that to happen. they want to see a weak rush that they want weak opponents, but only russian, but also china. so even though there are positive signals coming out from there, but at the same time it's on clear whether that will be a while to happen with them. so that's kind of that, but we will wait for the new administration's policy to be finalized. and we have a full understanding that there is a bipartisan consensus in the united states regarding russia. and this consensus is not friendly. but frankly, speaking is roughly because regardless of policy affiliation, the ruling elite will promote its line to ensure that russia as

a competitor is weakened in every possible way. therefore, in the united states, consistency is maintained. if the signals that come from the new team in washington to resume or rather restoring the dialogue that washington interrupted off to the start of the special military operation. if they are serious of course, we will respond to them. but the americans are the ones that interrupted the dialogue and said they should take the 1st step. so in the words of mr. lab roll, basically the boys in the west court because russia is willing and ready to talk. and of course, syria, it's feature, it came off right. and i believe some interesting insight was offered on the semester level started by saying that russia, the fact that it didn't recall is representative from the serious says a lot. it is of course, willing to work with the new government there, but it's all i get very important to follow international rules. and by that he meant the election process. also what he said is very legitimate concerns for

security in the country. because we know that in the east of syria, for example, and he brings that up, that the us have legally occupied a significant part of the country where the main oil fields are. and it's a large part of the territory i'm with the us is doing, is extracting it and using the money to fund military structures in the switch they themselves created. and that of course poses ways danger. but what's alarming at this point is that they're getting information that the west is now dictating to these new leaders who they 10 and 10 corporate. but when you have this, the it is clear, the ahmed l sharah and he's just so you see it on now under enormous pressure from the west. the americans have become more active. so your opinions also, and everyone wants to what not to preserve the unity of o. s no political forces in syria, but to gain more influence and even more territory. and ask for western selfishness, the new head of the diplomacy kaya kal, us made a very illustrative speech demanding that syria stopped cooperating with russia.

the major powell like a stone, he has said that it will not support the new authorities in damascus unless they kick russian military bases out of syria. can you imagine how scary that is? so such diplomatic boyishness is becoming habitual. this is how the ukraine, you know, thought he's act insulting everyone who does not sing along the music. all european neighbors are also acting in this way. serious solvency is of the utmost importance and must go something that was said time and time again. a neighboring countries are also concerned about security. along the corridor, for example, to key mr. level of set is understandably concerned. israel to recent, they need to understand that it's important not to insure your own security at the expense of others because that could lead to know the new best do it. but assess, but russia together with the key and iran, and with the participation of a number of arab countries, is ready to play a supporting role in consolidating all processes in syria and organizing elections

in such a way that they will be recognized by everyone. and do not raise any questions. we have contacts on this topic with saudi arabia, iraq, jordan, egypt taught the amorous bahrain and 11 on us. all of them are interested in ensuring that syria does not repeat the pos, the libyan state followed. often nato simply destroyed that state, which still has to be put back together, piece by piece. and you can of course, the role serious neighbors will play is very important. so just to sum up, there are basically follow international rules, respect each other and each other solver and see that's the message from mr. live rope and from us go time and time again. a while to discuss that on more besides, i'm delighted to say we're enjoying live and to shoot, you know, i by executive trim and of the us communist party has out in house. thanks so much for taking the time to come in. thanks for having me. it's an honor. i'm going to wish you a happy christmas as well. and before people start thinking, why am i saying not to a representative of the communist party. we don't speak about the leader in the

program, but 1st you've just left. don't boss has. am. what impression did you leave with this december? well, i, i've all, i've been to darn bass before and september 1st. not september 1st, but 1st in september. yeah. and i'm always impressed by the resilience of the people in don bass and on bass and and don't you had skin particular the city had the name that it had for a reason. and it's the, the people's resolve, the people there. it's their spirit. it's made of steel, you know, they are so accustomed to showing and bombardments and attacks and they get on with their daily lives like nothing's happening. and i've always very moved and impressed by it. and i'm also a bit ashamed to be completely honest, because i know that the weapons that are being used in the, on bass to, to arrive civilians there and make life difficult, are being manufactured and given by my government, united states government. and you know,

it's very personal because you see how it's impacted the lives of people that live there. you know, one of the things we visited, intern yet to this time around was a children's carnival. and many of those children there, the children of soldiers and then some of their fathers were missing in action and were for killed. so, you know, and, and, and then this would not have been possible without the, the actions of my government and its agenda and ukraine. so it fills me with more resolve and purpose when it comes to fighting for peace and fighting against the war mongering agenda of my government. and it's important that i see it and visited with my own eyes. because when i communicated to my fellow americans, you know, they know that it's real, they know that it's not just an ideology or a talking point or something. and i'm glad to have been able to. so when isn't you say, bringing a message back and sharing it? how did people before hand react to to you going their family and friends where

they worried you a us citizen going to what is a conflict at reading zone? oh, of course they were very worried and um they it's, it's a war zone. so it's, it's not entirely round groundless. but, you know, once again i, uh, well, on the one hand i'm a us citizen. so i bear some responsibility for what's going on. i think it's my tax dollars that are funding a lot of this. on the other hand, i'm the executive chairman of the american communist party and to some limited extent, i have a position of leadership and responsibility. so if people living in don't yet spend on bass, are living with there's risk and their lives. i think that is, it wouldn't hurt if i or for at least you know, a week or so parts. so can some of that risk? again, just do there, there is such an information blockade that is being created by the west when it

comes, not only to russia in general, but in particular to the situation and dawn by some 2014. and if we can get the opportunity to go there and see it with our own eyes, that's a very important, precious opportunity in my opinion. because, you know, it's one thing to there's such a fog of war when it comes to information. nobody knows who's telling the truth. nobody knows what's propaganda, what's not propaganda. and the only way of seeing it, the only way to seeing it, you only way is not only seen it, but talking to ordinary people that live there. people who are not propaganda is an idea audiologist, but people who are just normal people, just like people in the usa who want to get on with their lives. you want a future for their children and want a good life for their families. and having that experience and talking to those people, it's completely confirmed what i've always believed about the nature of this conflict . and it's very simple. if something happened in ukraine in

2014 or something. uh, overtook the sensibilities of large parts of the grant and people which simply denied the humanity of the people living and on bus and the way that has played out and expressed itself from the facts, speak for themselves the atrocities that have been committed against civilians before the memo for, you know, a decade or so as um there, there's such a level of malice and hatred. that's there for the people that were living there. and that's what i really would wish americans would understand that the might on cool was not a freedom. you know, it wasn't for freedom and democracy or wherever it was fueled by real genuine human hatred that allowed many of these, these band or is these audiologist to be indifferent to the destruction of human life? you know, what is your view then of the overall conflict as it stands going into 2025. do you

for see piece talk between russian you create. i foresee talks, at least of trump is going to make due on what he has been saying. he wants to do and promise, but i am a little bit pessimistic about the outcome of those thoughts and it all has it all has to do with leverage. i think that russia has made certain sacrifices. and a years following, the special military operation is where there are certain red lines. it's not going to want to cross in my estimation on the independence of the people's republic and the dawn bass. they are now part of the russian federation. i don't think russia will ever be willing to see it, even an inch of the territory that it lawfully considers its own. so that's off the negotiation table. i also don't think ross is going to a tolerate in any scenario, the possibility of new brain, any ukrainian stage being part of nato. i also think that the tide of war has

perhaps changed. i think ross of maybe was very eager for talks in 2022. but i think it's very clear to everyone in the world that russia has gained indisputably the upper hand and the situation now. and precisely what russia needs from the west . now it's not exactly, it seems like the reverse is the case that ukraine needs these negotiations. now more than russia, dots in order to preserve any semblance of a sovereign ukrainian state. but the us will have an impact in, in some way on the trump administration. isn't coming with threats to cut some funding at to ukraine. so you've got republicans rolling the senate and the house of representatives in congress. you've got trump in the white house. will that progress to foreign policy that, that desire to cut back and help to keep will not be allowed to happen. so that's a very interesting question because the presidency,

what's we have to think about the importance of the office of presidency bite and i think everyone can see what see nile for the 4 years that he was in office. i don't know how he was operating in any capacity as a president, and yet there was this machine, the states machine or the deep states that implemented install to the implementation of a, of a policy in the brain conflict. so with binding is completely seen aisle and more or less brain dead and things are still operating. i don't know what difference a trump administration will make as far as the overall tendency of u. s. foreign policy. and so on the other hand, it's clear that this conflict is unwinnable for you. great. europe is starting to awaken to this fact. and yes, trump has been saying it for a long time, and so have other political actors. so there may be a, a shift in strategy as far as a foreign policy that, that does lead to maybe cutting losses when it comes to ukraine. can i move inside

with into, into gas that because if there is a loss of weapon, re and, and money going to key, if you've got trump honest administration, big supporters of best, real hon, my thought impact, the middle east conflict. well, i think that the, that is where things are the most unpredictable right? actually right now i think that trump has made it very clear that he's committed to unconditionally supporting israel in this conflict. but on the other hand, it's very important to pay attention to other developments. there is starting to be a discourse even within the republican party and, and republican party politicians and congressmen that is pushing back against this unconditional support for israel. and while we know that there was criticism of israel coming from the democrats under by them to an extent, they didn't materialize into anything. i wonder if this time around there might be

serious pressure exerted on from to maybe have a more nuanced position on the matter. we also know there's a personal factor. it seems that trump isn't particularly the biggest fan of mentioned y'all who is the consequence of the 2020 elections. so i think that's something that's very unpredictable, but i would not be surprised if there wasn't a major shift in the car and orientation. maybe it's, it will just be continuity. well, i'm downs itself, then you've got to israel claiming it's finding, am i saying in general? so, but daily you've got civilian civilian infrastructure at being hit. people are dying . that debt to a rising and rising. what is the goal, and is it becoming clear of benjamin netanyahu and his cabinet there? well, i think everything has to do with internal is rarely politics. i think that there's a certain faction of this really politics that looks at expansion is um,

specifically the expansion of settlement as a way to alleviate internal pressures when it comes to economic dissatisfaction and so on and so on. that's being felt by people that live in, uh, israel. and so i think that the strategy more or less is to use war as a pressure valve to offset some of that. and, and basically, um, i opened up new spaces for a settlement. the expansion of the, the settlement project on heights, it's becoming clear and clear and that's what the is directly. yeah. yeah. i mean that there is a tremendous degree of pressure and force within israel for a settlement expansion of settlements. and i think that the government is responding to that by the, the aggression at, for witnessing. and can i turn attention to to syria, very much a developing situation there still, i'm interested on your view in particular, how west and politicians and medium rush that puts aside, as we saw just weeks ago,

a long hell of use at least public views on islamist the targeting of christians just to get a sad, idle, idle power and very little of a moral compass to be seen. i imagine few things surprise you in politics anymore, but didn't thought the speed at which they changed their views. no, absolutely not. i mean, oh, i remember the syrian civil war uh early as early as 2011. i remember what happened in libby, i remember how you know that the, the atrocities that were being committed against christians and other minorities and syria reach there high points during the civil war. a bio kite bio who's well by later die ash. and the, you know, at least for the so called the free syrian army, yes, us politicians were very, very eager to turn a blind eye. and all of the rhetoric about the war on terror that we had during the

george w bush administration. all of that disappeared because it was of your political convenience to washington and it's backwards that aside, be removed and completely toppled. you've got so much division right now in syria, if both internally and outside forces kind of stay together as a, as a sovereign nation going forward is not only it cannot in my view, but it endangers the stability and the sovereignty of practically all neighboring states. so the elephants in the room is a rack, they're already threats that this, you know, instability will spread to a rack, but also we're witnessing something going on with the escalation of the conflict between the cards and the turkish military. and that's really where a lot of this chaos can reach new heights and new proportions. we're rhetorically, we're starting to witnessing increasing degree of conflict between 30 and israel. i

am not necessarily confident in the idea that the truth is government are gone. have any plans to seriously confront is relevant nor their age diaz, proxies and syria. but in the reality of geo politics, accidents can happen. you know, misunderstandings can happen this year, k also be situation and lead to incredibly unpredictable outcomes. and i think all i should not necessarily just be on syria, but what influence that exerts on the sunday masses in jordan or in egypt, or potentially interact. and i don't think the situation will end with syria regardless of the question of the sovereignty of the syrian state. i think this is of, of completely regional significance actually is incredible analysis. it's really worrying . and i set it up the, i'd say the house, the american communist party as just wish those who celebrated a merry christmas at considering the holidays. christian, i'm to

a certain degree capitalist at waiting as well. how does that fit in to your parties messaging? oh that's, it's an interesting question. you know, it's, it's rather seamless for us because of actually i would say the majority of our rank and file are christians actually in the american communist party, a practicing christians. and for them, they don't see any contradiction between communism and christianity, right? i think one of the popular interpretations of christianity within our party are, are those espoused by thinkers like michael hudson, which to pay significant attention to the you know, the more revolutionary significance of jesus christ, message of debt forgiveness. and was, was that also the fact that you said merry christmas instead of happy holidays, which has been norm in the us is, is that important? 2 distinct as well between the spirituality of the holiday and the commercialism

that it's, that it's turned into is that behind it, of course, our message was about commemorating the memory and the birth of jesus christ. and of course the, the, the most important thing about the holidays in america is christmas and it always has been. and yes, the, the holidays have been incredibly commercialized, but it is still a holiday that brings families and friends together to reflect on the year and to, to be in good holidays, myriads and to reflect on the moral significance of their lives and so on. and so on, so i don't think it's a completely lost cause for call minnesota speak with that as a message to live by. so i'm going to say merry christmas to indeed on the ferry helping you. your house. thanks so much for coming into us today. thank you so much for having me participated. speaking to the executive chairman of the us. com this party has all day. thank you. okay. okay, let's turn our attention to walk. mister welding was speaking about there and in that in few, syria, h t. s militants have clashed with the ice,

the l. a side governments forces in the coastal areas of le takia and tar two's. the current trees current militant, let administration confirm there were casualties. 14, the interior ministry personnel were killed and 10 others wounded after a treacherous ambush by remnants of the criminal regime while performing their tasks of maintaining security and safety. the majority of the population in not in bottles, region in question, dollar whites an s no really just group in the country, which by charlotte side, belongs to syrian american journalist and writer, receiving sahu in the 3rd point is involved and inciting secretary in the protest. and almost in central syria, uh there was a 3rd party that shopped on the protesters and killed and injured. uh that,

that should that to me. sure. it was the one that there was a 3rd party trying to make it a security and more uninstall. i'm need to clean the opposition forces cause it's uh, started a few at night about to didn't 11 o'clock, the village of the snow that and some of the thoughts. yeah. the young man in the village captured some real men who had did not send me. busy boy, from the guys sitting young man from the talk. yeah. and they were going to kill him and throw him. so his body in that village to an for sure to cause a sectarian tension between dot always send the send these and they'll talk. yeah. there is some of that then skinny because uh so it's chaos in the country and it's a big chaos. there is some of the individual mistakes is as i told you, and at the same time there is a 3rd party trying to clean. yeah. also from other lights and they connected the

cushioned and they come to send me the so dentist to be, as i said, the 3rd party trained because the security and more serious and enrich that. it is, of course, in the event coming happening because as a, as i said, because it is a chaos. celia, the opposition does not have it's, it's never just has time to take control as a police. and that is to all of these people doing all of this out. 6 9 yeah, and this is what people are seeing right now. the higher to where i'll show militants have been driving cars through the streets all the time. he a firing the weapons in the air, others, philippines waving flags by the motorcycles, amid the reported flashes. just some box rolling dollar lights are a minority, she and muslin set in a country dominated by sunni followers. so have risen up in the la talk in parts

this region is to develop protection from the new damascus authorities. the collapse of assaults, our whitehead governments, has fueled many series of refreshing within that community. we do not demand segregation or sectarianism or racism when our holy places are abused. it is our right as syrians to carry out a peaceful demonstration in which we demand the protection of these holy places folly previously there with no problems. all we hear in the top here do you don't have sectarian or ethnic issues. they are doing this in order for a new revolution to happen. they won't take the money since we have gathered today to stand for peaceful solidarity to stop practices against allied in our religious trying. let us, we, the sons of this homeland demand security and safety. let's turn attention to the capital where families are former a sod, military troops are demanding the release of their loved ones from following the k

. as a b, it's the miss fronted revolution. many soldiers fled to neighbors, but later returned only to be arrested on 2 sides of them are now reported right behind bars. here's what some of their relatives are saying. name wasn't a lot more than 60 bucks across the border on thursday evening and friday morning towards damascus. but they were transferred to advert prison. um we, as the soldiers, parents want to return them to us and then strike an agreement with hire tory or i'll shop around, but h t s has transferred them to prison, appear to be the ones that have no, they wanted to return to their families, not go to advert prison. we demand that this injustice be lifted from them. the syrians are again the fleeing across the border to 11 on the mid rising security concerns in the country, fearing persecution by the huge diaz terrorist now in charge. some are choosing to live in refugee camps and eastern them. they say despite the public assurances from the new authorities, if you have anything much more.
