last year are still very much with us. so fuck a lot. brace for him. the call the id, happy to set the who, the ballistic mess all over the central. these are all as it's on void to the un frequency. evan, sparking a dispute between the us and russia as a un security council. the united states condemns the whose these latest attacks on israel and supports israel's right to self defense. these attacks have nothing to do with the right to self defense. they are nothing other than military aggression by the collective west against a sovereign state, russia and ukraine, each swap, a $150.00 prisoners of war, of the agreement broke it bother you where he allows the troops to return home in time for the new year. the

thing 10, yeah. and now the wave of protest drops in the capital and demonstrate us lost child against president route, as government admitted to the president. very simple, stop being us to leave west on for a while as being a lead for america started being a slave. so being a sleep move the continuing coverage of the latest trends, shaping the world right now. this is our, the international i a michael portrait. now we're kicking off the new this, our head straight to our top story. you, these are all the nations on dome air defense system activated overnight to engage on incoming ballistic mess, all fired by the who, the, from yemen. now for the cheer that has been circulating on social media review, freshman's visuals,

the mess of lace cats at near jerusalem at the impending attack had the trigger, the air raid sirens across central leisure. all of the alarm cost k, all 5 televisions main airport. each roll immediately suspended all civilian slides with the restrictions being lifted. few hours later now of the united nations usually expect the express outrage that they who these have come to the defense of palestinians are these ready and boss of the, to the un security to cancel the even 2nd. that'd be i d, f would destroy, you have been like it has already done the gaza since then the who did the least in unrelenting and bombardment of police departments. so it was only rarely see these targeting population centers. millions of use of aliens though, waking up every night to the sounds of silence almost every night. i will ask the security council. what would you do if the to this will your children,

your neighborhood? i'm saying to the leadership of the quote is, let me remind you what, what happened to hama to please bala, to us sides, and towards those who sold to these toys. this is not estimate. if these i promise you will share the same miserable fate. and now the long range of tax bothers will, these which compromise the response to ideas, annihilation of policy needs. and guys that have been raised use really government officials. is there any authority said that the mess or launch from yemen? dudley's disco be i tell a v, an american envoy to the who and insisted that the israel has of rights to self defense, wild feelings or comments on the ideas full scale assault across the region. 5 of russia highlighted exactly that same at the devastation. these role has cost in the middle east can not be justified. the united states condemns the who's these latest

attacks on israel and supports israel's right to self defense. every member of this council and especially those with direct channels to iran, should press the runs leaders to stop the who these from launching attacks that put civilians in harm's way. these really military response following the december 19th incident was clearly disproportionate and deserves our condemnation. the bottom line is that human has been subjected to airborne aggression in recent days. on december 24th, oil terminals and power plants were targeted, as well as on our international airport. we're a high level delegation of the world health organization led by director general tedra skill braces was located at the time. it was a miracle that he was not harmed. these attacks have nothing to do with a right to self defense. they are nothing other than military aggression by the collective west against the sovereign state. to the russian ambassador arrived there, restoring to the recent ease, readily strike on an airport. the men's copico how they handled the world health

organization was nearly killed in the attack. he was safely evacuated by the co pilot. that was prepping his, playing on the tom, off was injured years roll also it has posited the ports along the red sea and power stations throughout you have been recently 6 people were killed in those attacks and we spoke with the executive director of the art center for research and studies, nice solely mine who told us that the router, the regional prices, can be found in the agenda of the jewish state. is a, is making the initial price to do everything that is wants. it may be is, is that the problem is that the lesser familiar to can see it was the main problem, the man who of prices it's all about is, are you who are trying to figure this into is the civilians in human. and also what does and syria and try to make all kinds of neil 5 insulation. so i think

it's because it's the speech this folks and do we have it for over a week? a goal is adults of oh, yes, right? that's about it's superficial. and with zach ryan's or what it is, what he did in so these are not as 20 or 24 comments to one. and we look back at the top stories that shapes the yeah. are these on the face of latino reports on how the crisis between. yep, and not the west erupted a jim as tuesdays and the supports for the palestinian people have been hammering israel with long range attacks on a weekly basis from ballistic missiles, targeting cities like tele fees and the poor to fly. lots to do run schools hitting is riley results. the pattern is k, a. the who sees are intensifying that strikes on israel and solidifying that role in the middle east conflict. but has the catch. there's

a whole year spawn between those headlines, which means that the fast retaliation from israel and this west and allies has so far been to no avail. the final dimension of the who is the threat is global. the anti shipping company and carried out against civilian and military vessels in the red sea, an indian ocean to the washington institute for near east policy is marisol. and the top truck recently tallied a 106 confirm to the strikes on shipping since november 2023. and who is the leadership posts of even higher numbers? now let's take a closer look at the alignment of forces in this complex. on the one side, we have the who face themselves and radians bob's group the controls, the capital over here. and then on one of the. 5 poorest countries devastated by previous conflicts. at the end of 2023. the who sees made headlines by declaring war and tennessee um its allies describing their options as for bench, for the palestinians being was to be killed by israel. no,

for the many armed forces. consider all american and british ships and warships participating in the aggression against our country as hostile targets. we will continue to carry out military operations. to prevent is really navigation in the air of and red seas until the aggression stops. and the siege on the palestinian people in gaza is listed on the other side. we have the high tech west military forces with the bones, weapons, satellites, and billions of dollars in defense spending. a us let's coalition has been conducting its operation prosperity, guardian, against the who sees in response to the attacks on israel related shipping in the red sea. we have no indications right now that, that the who these are going to cease these attacks. certainly, it's important that they stop immediately, which is one reason why you saw the international community to include united

states stand up operation prosperity. guardian is a mechanism by which to come together as a defensive coalition to help protect and safeguard international commerce transiting this. the c way, as well as to help protect the lives of, of international mariners as they traverse the red sea. this straight is the gateway to the red sea. i'm so either on to this west canal, just over that. and this is why the who these are attacking ships bound to israel posts in retaliation to the u. s. a. u. k. s. strikes on the positions the who these have also escalated attacks on coalition bullshit on vessels linked to british or american owners and operators. the,

the, her face basketball have a tax. i bought a hundreds combat show on who ships since november 2023. as a result, major shipping companies have been by policy, the red sea, which typically handles 15 percent of global trade shipping insurance costs for the region help such 2700 percent. also in 2024. so west canal transits dropped by more than 50 percent from a year earlier. plummeting from over 2000 to less than 900. and the candles of revenues fell $7000000000.00. so also us some co op housing who faced with miss

austin pockets targeting the young men e capital santa. and launching as strikes by 5 to just on ships. the, [000:00:00;00] the, the, her face continues to stand, the ground gathering many young people rallies, vowing resistance and lingering support to suffering. palestinians.

the sure when the free people must move and say no to injustice with full voices in demand and strive to stop the sinful zionist american injustice against our oppressed brothers and gaza, sat at the chevrolet, many a message of the many people today is a clear message that they are ready and prepared on the front of supporting their brothers in palestine. the we tell the free people of the world that they have to show a stance against the holocaust design is so doing every day which exceeds the whole the cost that they claim. as a result of her phase, the tax may just shipping companies instead of going through the west canal a now of the thing for a much longer route around south africa. instead, an example rerouting a large contain of vessels to travel from shanghai, china, to russia,

down in the netherlands by the cables. good hope now costs 35 percent more and takes an additional 8 days compared with the red sea route fly this the west canal, another on pass and surprise several on the see cables, what damage sharing some of the attacks. why are these red c cables so important to you may ask, well, 90 percent of communications between europe and just flows through them, as well as 17 percent of global internet traffic. but without a doubt is really trade. and that just as one of the biggest casualties in this situation in the south and city of i lot local port activities, how full and to 0, the operate to have to declare bankruptcy. what is notable about the port that'd be large is that there don't seem to be any cargo ships here today if they are the nestle device somewhere where they're not visible to me. and that's not

particularly surprising because the head of the port facility here in a large state it back at the end of december 2023. that maritime traffic. any logic plummeted by some 85 percent due to the attacks on red c shipping headed to israel are coming from israel by the many unsettled on so lot of movement . so what can we take away from? what of this 2020 full has witnessed a wide array of efforts to stand up for ballast indian rights, some sort of justice and the quotes like south africa? well, all those to, to the streets running and protests around the globe. but the who sees have chosen a fall will come, but to approach in the defense of office rights and the spine to being in need themselves. staff showed an extra with degree resilience

the until the ukrainian conflict. now, where the russian ministry of defense report, its forces, have taken a much of military fielding ukraine as well as industrial facility producing. i'm both all the ukranian army, the strikes where it carried out by high precision weapons and waves of the m. o. the reports at all targets where now, well as the new year holiday approaches russia and ukraine have exchanged a $150.00 presidents of war. uh, the deal was broken by the united arab emirates, exchanged russian service bandwidth transported to better rooms and are on the way home. it is the 1st print and the swaps is october, and the 11th this year. now, russian forces it be making gains on the front lines as ukraine's troops retreat. and this map shows advance as made by moscow was military and done by us as a solid,

red highlights. this tried since january 2024 by russian forces recently took control of the village of nevada and of god. in the don't ask republic, according to the moscow's defense ministry, russian soldier was filmed to raising the nation's treat color flag. i made the ruling solve a ukrainian abandon positions now looking back again on the top stories that shaped the 2024 on top of the list is how the ukraine and conflict has evolved over the past year. and what has happened the way from the front lines that's bring you a recap of the key events now to be here, just about an hour, east of bell garage, a russian heavy live transport plane was brought down by ukrainian aircraft for it was kind of the exhaustion crew and s course put 65 ukrainian prisoners of war on their way to

a prisoner exchange. the dead bodies of ukrainian soldiers, us captive, across the streets of dave. this was supposed to be the main stronghold, but when the russian troops cut the main supply arch rate is either the won't kill to render, or they try to run and sleep. it's the dominating heights exactly dispose of that. the russian commodities hoping will make the advance of the russian troops move, move as more seamless people. as far as

the gets about manpower and ukraine needs to do for in our brain as hard decisions to make about further mobilization. but these are necessary, the most the said, the loss of i to the too much for your brain was catastrophic. it's allowed russian forces to sweep the own, capturing village of the village, noon or great job of gain changes to it's easy to see why the alliance was so reluctant to

provide its equipment to you frames and bird weight. it was just approaching the firing line. yes, it took 2 years for this tank to get here and only 4 minutes for it to be destroyed . they couldn't face the challenge of a simple come because he drove the public gracious to be russia. we knew great. please tell me that it's not a nice day to make sure that when we export critical, our defense interceptors, ukraine goes to the front of the line. this is the place where the ukrainians try to capitalize on the initial territorial games they have in the course region. the

face is where from russia stuff it is counter offensive prepping backs well over a 100 square kilometers the cities, weapons loans, support in the ruined city. basements and tides unit apartments of thousands of people. they choose to state as russian forces that box. and that was the idea that the russians are going to come and there is going to be water. the hi, welcome. been waiting for you for 2 years. the

we are conducting come back to the original system in response to nato's aggressive actions against russia. we consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against the military facilities of those countries that allow they use their weapons against our pacific. thanks to the professionalism and courage of our soldiers of defense, industry workers, and truly nationwide support for the young and navy. russian troops firmly holding strategic initiative along the entire line of form that the 189 settlements touching the building to the right to discuss the events over the years. i am joining this to do a by krista, of a lot of the academy research here at the international secretary of the american communist party. chris, i'm glad to have you join me here in the studio. it's a pleasure to be with you. yeah,

thank you. now i know you've been following moldy activities across the world, especially the middle east, and then even the issue with that, between russia and ukraine. you've seen that russia has a dance made lots of significant advances in 2014, 2024 space. do you think that there's going to continue that the way the trend is going to keep up into, into, into 5? absolutely. and as you know, this summer i was in the guns, i had the opportunity to go to the newly liberated territories to the areas that have now agreed to join the russian federation of the new territories. and the people are overwhelmingly positive. optimistic, hopeful about the future and of course i could see 1st and the crimes of montgomery and so and so what has been supplied to these the ukranian forces that are it killing civilians, children bonding, all sorts of areas. but it's unbelievable that we prepared in 2024. we were told that would be a big ukranian counter offensive. and that never materialized,

what has materialized is the russian adventures on the battlefield up and down the line of, of conflict. so i think that ultimately we're going to see more of that. and of course we are waiting for january 2025 to see what's going to come out of washington. and ultimately, i think that that will change policies in brussels and elsewhere in europe. talking about washington, then what would change in january? we some a president trump said, oh, you know, tom has said that she would change and, and that you could conflict on the one he said it was under do within one day. now, how feasible is that? if you sit down on, on the lies the powers that be american president, the government, the leadership has over this issues and the role on one hand. and then the intention, how feasible is that? it's clearly not feasible at this point because already there's been a draft, a, a sort of a agreements that they wanted to propose. some sort of

a deal to the russian side. and of course the president within. and if a foreign minister level of have rejected it in the strongest of terms, because they still allow for nato membership for ukraine, but they said, okay, 20 years down the road. and as president put in, pointed out just a few days ago, 5 years, 10 years, tomorrow of a 100 years. the point is no nato membership at all. and so i think that there are still some red lines for the russian federation that the united states still does not take seriously. and i believe that ultimately these are going to have to be resolved before any peace deal is possible. or ultimately, this will continue to play out on the battlefield, and trump will get no deal whether in one day or in a 100 days. you are in a 100 years, you will not get it the o, because ultimately russia has strategic interest and national security concerns that have to be address, or else they will continue to fester. and this will have to be fucked in other ways . what do you expect from the trump administration in general, especially when we look at cooling, defeated, tensile and around the world. it's a mixed bag. at this point,

we are seeing an escalation of pensions and lots of america. for example. we know about the recent comments about the panama canal, and i've made it very clear as has my party that we are deeply concerned that trump might actually take military action. as you know, united states took military action in panama with against noriega, you know, some decades ago. so it's very easy and plausible that the united states could do something like this. of course we're concerned about what's happening in venezuela q, but nicaragua with the, the incoming administration and michael rubio was no fan of these governments. we're also concerned about the relations with china. there has been some questions about whether they would be a renewed connection with the leader keepers online. but the dpr k has stated that they are now in a strategic partnership as you know with the restaurant. but the reason and the change, there's been a change in the geo political situation since the drums 1st time. so i think we're going to see some areas that may see cooling. but some areas i think are going to heat up and that's a big concern for everybody. let's hold,

let's also talk about the agenda back home when it comes to somebody ministration and the grab the agenda back home. what do you expect for americans expected from, from? i think that we're expecting a lot of cuts that there's been this as you know, doj and yolanda must scan uh vick, everybody's out there saying that there's too much if spending the government debt all of these things. i think we're going to see some major cuts to a government bureaucracy to a lot of our projects that we are doing as a, as a federal government and various state governments might pull back on some of these projects. ultimately, i think people are, are interested for, for your roller coaster because it seems that there are a lot of political forces at play. and there are a lot of things that are going to be changing whether it's an education in the health care. and of course uh, just in terms of a domestic cultural issues that i think that are going to be at the forefront. and we're going to see a lot of battles and the supreme court in the next 4 years. right now we have seen

that to ukraine had supported terrorism in syria and parts of africa. molly, you know, when, so all those reports out there and supporting them and equipment and training and so on. do you expect that to expand, going forward? i think so. i think the recent visit by ukraine's for administer to cd at to damascus to meet with the new city and be there, right. i've gilani, i think it's very significant that this occurred because ukraine we know was training some of these tentative supports as in igloo and had provided a technical and material support. so i think that this will, will continue. i think that the recent statements about the sort of shared concerns over the russian federation by both countries are deeply worrying for those of us who watched the region. and i think ultimately enough because ukraine will try to deepen its influence there. because i think that ukraine is also being used as a spearhead for the west to carry out

a lot of the dirty projects that those countries might not be able to do openly. so i think we're going to see more of this in the coming years. all right, now the situation with the, with the russian bases in syria, as i said now, is still very onshore no one. ready knows how it's going to be yet as much as everyone is through giving assurances here in the but we know what all the interest off the russian intelligence recently came up with a report about the west coast plumbing. in fact, the america and the, and the under u. k are planning to use ice with the goal of ensure. busy being that russia need of syria, what do you expect the russian response to be to that, to listen i, i think dresser has the need to defend itself. of course, these are, it's basis. they're still within obligations of, of the 2 states. so i think that it, russia will have to defend its military personnel and it's interest in those bases . if that happens, we know that the united states and its allies have used

a dies isis before. they've used some of these terrorist and networks. they still do. and so the big concern is that they will try to provoking incident to try to change the geo political situation, the military reality in syria and the region. ultimately russia reserves the right to defend its forces. and this is in science and international law. and in the love i'm conflict. all right, talking about the rights to defend one. so let's go to each row. now we're seeing these ro reach out and expand to escalate pensions. we've seen in gaza 11 on in syria, india then even against iran. and america and the united states on the other hand says, well, he's what has the right to self defense. now, do all the, all the countries result the same white according to the us know, but we know that under international law, it is clear that the countries have a right to self defense. for example, if israel continues to provoke, you're on assessing that it's nuclear scientists,

i tried to destroy its nuclear infrastructure. he's unreserved. the right to defend itself, right? these are ex, of aggression under international law. i think that sometimes we, we create, we have this understanding that especially for the west, there are rules that apply to us and then the rules that apply to everyone else. but we know that international law is, is uniform and should apply to everyone equally. however, we know that the west is not to see it this way. i think we must be clear that the countries in the region you're on iraq, young men and other countries, have the right to defend themselves and will continue to do so as a loved by international law. all right, we have to leave you here now just to have a hobby, have the international secretary of the american community spot. you thank you so much for your inside. thank you and happy new year. it's a good you too. thank you, right and to kenya now where a wave of protest has hit the national capital once again, that's demonstrate as lost out against president we member plus government and
