the, the, the strange similarities in the new orleans las vegas attacks, according to nevada police, with both the suspects having served up the same us military base and use the same car sharing company, the states, the results. that's as details continue to emerge in the las vegas cyberg truck x. those pitch revealed the bond data inside the vehicle serves in an american special forces units which provides training for ukraine. and also i had this news. our syria is new leadership with holes at sound of friendship, quite literally, some of the easiest tops of the month to visit the muskets. the trip is still being pressed. tension this with front is only 40 reportedly urging us bach kurdish

militants to fall in line. the across the world around the clock, this is our to international welcome to the news. our us police have revealed up the suspect in the las vegas cyber truck. explosion served in the armies 10th special forces group. now that's unit is known for facilitating military training to washington's allies, including ukrainian troops in germany. my colleagues, marina cost rebecca and nicky are in discuss what is known about his background, the old ones again, and we see that there is a violence incidents in the west and that the perpetrators seems to have links to create in the past. we saw, for example, of the recent past how one of from one of the assassins had legs to ukraine, even travel there. i tried to recruit volunteer american soldiers in this case.

first of all, one thing about people spotted right away was that the man in question last few the attack or he will seen wearing a t shirts where the ukranian nationalist symbol that said gloried. so you claim that was picked up right away. then they saw that on his link to the account, for example, he had recently replied so military contract opportunity, which offered $550.00 per day for a 30 day. uh, contract there uh with the free launching and travel provided. and he replied, saying that he had someone in mind that he had sent them their way. now of moving on. another link is of course his military background, which he just brought up, for example, that he was part of the 10th of special forces, a group who have trained thousands of ukrainian soldiers in poland elsewhere including germany. which as we know, this is where he was stationed on active duty before he was allowed to leave and go back home, presumably for the holidays. but as we heard from it, his wife that he,

she hadn't seen them. so it's on clear then also people online sort of say, well perhaps that is the legs because as we know were heard from donald trump because this attack happened outside of his hotel. that he said that he plans to end the war and ukraine. so are these 2 things related? again, we know that he was a highly decorated, he was greenberry operations sergeant, and this is a task force that is tasked with white and terrorism abroad. so it's baffling, but he would come back home on the home soil ended as far as his military background. it's been confirmed by d o. d that he was indeed in the united states army. he was also a green bray operation. sergeant has spent most of his time at fort carson, colorado, and in germany, he was it on approved leave from germany, where he was serving with the test special forces group. he was also previously in the national guard and the army reserve. now there, i've also been reports in the media that he may have actually served in ukraine

back in 2016 thoughts. those reports have not been verified yet, and we're expecting to hear more. so we have these 2 incidents and both occurring on new year's day. well, not mine is a u. s. army investor and another was an active duty soldier. and one of the similarities can you tell us about in these 2 incidents, both served in the army. they were both actually at the same military base at one point, and also both of them were the plates of data style. so they could have overlap the at the military base maybe and they've gotten this done, but we don't know that yet. we just know that as a fact they were there at the same time at the base and also an advantage that also what's really interesting, aside from the fact that the attacks happened hours away from each other. the fact that they run. so if the car from the same app, they use the same, i have to rent their respective cars that they when once and unleashed this, this violence and even the police even though there say that there is no definitive link. but even they are baffled by the similarities. so the question is,

is how we work into rule in or rule out any connections to the new orleans of it? and the answer to that is every typically that comes in every piece of evidence that comes in. we don't discount it, we work it through it. you know, it's a interesting thing during these kinds of investigations that if these turned out to be fully similarities, very strange similarities to have. and so we're not prepared to rule in or rule out anything at this point. you know, strange similarities indeed. and as he just said, they are looking into it so far. we haven't heard anything concrete aside from perhaps it's a coincidence, but they're looking into that and we're waiting is here what they, what they say at the end, the data becomes more curious, the more details of the much about this or the wrong. these striking power allows, although it could just all turn out to be co incidence, but just how frequent all the cases of the act table full makes us for us military service men or women. the roads like this, what violence,

some veterans is becoming more and more of an issue in the united states. so much so that there was even a study conducted a few years ago in 2019, if i'm not mistaken. looking at my shootings in particular and the background of their perpetrators. and what they found is very interesting is that 26 percent of mass shooters over 6 that days have had military service or framing. and that's compared to 7 percent of the general population. also free of the 10 most that's the least last few days in the us, modern history or at the hands of veterans. and just to go through some of the most recent types. my shootings by veterans, we have in 2023. when a man killed eights and people in may and then later salt himself 2018, the man shot people out of bar and california. 2017 and sutherland springs. 26 people that 201210 people showed that at a temple in wisconsin again by

a veteran. and this study also something interesting they found is that it seems that when it comes to my shootings and veterans, those veterans tend to have served in either iraq and of dallas dogs. which as we know both of the men were talking about right now. they both for deployed and of got us on the also they turn to return, of course with the pc is the mental health issues. and also the study found that what's interesting is that, that's today in american veterans today. i'm more likely to suffer from peachy as the and mental health issues. and they're also at the highest risk of suicide in the us because they are, uh, they have legs here simultaneous as well. um towards that they for, for example, in, of down this done in iraq. and also we're talking about multiple deployments. so they're, they're flooding more, more times that their sense active combat sales impact fee, for example, the tesla cyber truck explosion, the attacker behind that he was deployed sales guy this done $3.00 times. so does

that also have something to do with this? and that's why there are people in the us that are saying that something needs to be done. and actually, donald trump has pointed that out in the past and said, we need to look into this and why veterans are committing file and fives and also. so i'm going to bring up is that veterans seems to be joining more and more a domestic extremist organizations. the foreign ministers of france and germany have arrived in syria. one month after is the miss forces sees power. there are the top diplomats are on the mission to build bridges with a concrete new leadership ahead of the trip. germany's on the lena for a buck said she would be traveling to damascus with an odd stretch and a gesture that literally was not returned by sirius gets the officials. its chief mohammed tell gilani refused to check the german minister some seemingly because he was a woman. he readily embrace her meal french contra part. however,

while it diplomatic trip kicked off with a new less controversial start with both officials visiting said now a prison that purported torture site was recently swept up and a media storm after a cnn correspondence was accused the filming of fate. political prisoner released her for a block on it was on the well borough were accompanied by white helmet members, a controversial recipe group. also accused of staging reports in syria. the french ministers had power so sticking to get on board, but the country's new military leadership on reportedly, or just the active opposition. curtis forces to do the same a uh, a little less than a month ago. new hope was born to thanks to the mobilization of syrians as the hope of a sovereign stable and peaceful syria to hope that the aspirations of syrians can be fulfilled. it is a real hope, but it is a fragile hope. today, more than ever, france stands alongside syria and the syrians to make this hope a reality. who will live to cairo,

now to speak to the executive director of the independent art of center for research studies thing to county. certainly mind you're most welcome. what do you make of the french ministers call for a stable syria? considering the efforts of power as the west, a large in fact, to talk to the actual government, not of the chart all sides. and go to everything and then what it was heavy to be was do we does not to is this that i have this problem is uh, brand administer a friend showing the gentleman genuine borrower. and daniel, i'm really not available as of time though. there's always a, are you just under please incentives or they would be on your own. but you can see the claim to be should on the private because each of those from supposed to have our own as is made before and they will try to find their own in syria. i do find, find the under the competition between germany and the products in the city on

friday. nicholas, the video, the, all the forest items faded is that are voids the most. they have the british hands, the doors in the city. and finally, we can find in this visit, i believe the thread from and, you know, then confident we'll try to do the kids score. this was the, have to write with vision. was this come to 1st neglect? and because the considerations that for this, for you, which are many times because i'm a little you size and this is one of the kind or unreliable magicians it from france and germany. we've been friends, is that you mind from the ministers of frances that was done during photo, from the hardest to late. that one's a military women's and to be more integrated, the political life. i think it leg for the quote as existence or any

thought on these 2 and was this under to can make a commitment for a brother the call dish or fire rights. so i can think it's a view from one side from 0 been countries we can see is that is that is the and so on fact is that is the concept like to say this again, right to, uh, was kind of, uh, the uh, vision to russian influence in syria and the claim to add 3 to diana does a transition of video and add to it's on the view. that's right. but the, all the sides of the city and democratic forces source, i mean, think and the quarter between the noise, the bottom line, the most normal. this is the commander of city engine forces. i think they would use that short as is the months because it's time to trust lives. that part. okay.

and this is brian from cross i think is because that, that this is but is, is the lowest is the between the sure functions. and so the courses and i know and it should be in the admin, but it's our and so i think it's on a kind of on the video from the band concert, into the city and on honey. the german minister also made quite the contemptuous statement during the visit. we can take a listen together. you're all in what i sp isn't stuck in this region. in particular, women's rights are the measure of how free life is for everyone. we made that clear to the people in charge here in damascus today. it was important to hear that they understood this is europe will provide support for them, but europe would not be a sponsor of new as long as the structures has worked on tested to, i have

a feeling going to be viewers fricking the rears up hearing, not given the fact that some of the use top diplomats just met with the leader of an offshoot of our call you to do you see any contradictions with her remarks there? yes i do this beautiful and then in the end is those are meant for your i said cuz they when it gives a soft bar to to the most concerned. so. yeah. but what kind of this of bart it's icon dish and those are bar. do they tried to impose their views, they tried to make a kind of the need to can the transition as a fire. it's not related to so it is and it's connected. now you're being companies want to make a kind of fast and neglecting, or is that a what happened in the past? and i think it's the one that you have any in your to is the study and be able to

because you're on the, on the existence of was absent a journeyman has no, i'm the any, towards the end of the syrian museum. so i say because they try to make a kind of uh, competitions to try to go to some of the functions. and so i'm a new fax in the so yeah, but they think that they can't answer, you know, and uh, nickels that towards the door. was that the so called on. so as are you notice for the moment? so i think because they're part of the confidence which gave support to is them present the system for a minute or so i can find the kind of a and b, it's from most of the gentleman and friends as to why it is necessary and it is and so i think got somebody dangerous to their young people to listen to this view. oh, sorry, yeah. okay. can i just touch on something you mentioned earlier as well?

i'm just interested in your reaction, the kurdish media are claiming that the french minister borrow erg, serious courage to, to integrate with the new survey and leadership. how do you expect the, the cards to react to that? a b, i think is the current dismayed data reflecting does that ties to because is the, is the absence of any guarantees or any commitment of this carpet as they tried to was, is there a vision as they want the co part of dish outdoors is so funny because the kids oil fight thing is there a riots they want to need that ones this way, most of that, but before any additional needs, it can wait for before any agreements. so it's kind of a imagination problems. it's gone through some goes into something it's most related to the fact they are trying to do many years on the one simple upstairs something it's not today and this is the moment for i think the part on sundays are

man uh on. so congress or bureau can achievement is saying that the dish is this time they have to where they was they, they have most to pose any conditions or trying to pause. so i'm saying this was the quote of dish. i think it some of the kind of the dishes i so, so uh, i think for the swans that soup said they have to do that. you did. uh, has the communications and the uh, kind of the view interviews do is uh and you know, the and view i sent them was no, my viewers reviews this. uh, the speech of rooms they wrote them come through and they said to they one late the $10.00 is very interesting. yeah. overview there from honey. so him on the executive director of the art of center research on studies,

giving us at the sense of how that might on full about situation. thank you so much county. thank you. alright, let us turn now 2 developments in the ukraine. conflicts loving there's lensky has finally admitted that an increasing number of his troops are fleeing from combat. as the directors as follows, which revealing not more than 1700 french trained ukrainian soldiers abundance their brigade, before taking part in any bottles. cabs investigate a bureau chief, how's the ledge? the abuse of power in the supposedly elite unit is to blame for the mass money power flight. that's us. ukraine's mounting bottled fuel losses are forcing the authorities to mobilize even more civilians. fresh footage on line shows men being stuffed off the streets by recruiters, but some citizens trying to fight for me. but it all comes as russian troops mix steady gains across the front lines last year. so must go secure the most territory

. since the 1st months of the conflict, more than a $190.00 residential areas were lost by kids forces. despite of course, all the western support received. our team from one culture of outlines. now how nature has been all unable to achieve its stated goal of the feeding rochelle and the buffer field? the alex all over a year ago in the final days of 2023 as the hired to create in cancer offensive have clearly failed vicky every he was still hole full. that's 2024. would reverse the tide and bring about it's not a victory, but at least substantial leverage for peace dogs and their way from friend slash sponsors. yep. the opa live, russia will not prevail. you pray, prevail and will continue to stand by you every step of the way. so let's take

a look at what they a chines. despite old efforts, mesa supplied weapons permission to slide deep into the russian territory and it's utah organization of russia's curse. korean ukraine continues losing territories on a daily basis. rough estimate to suggest that 63 percent of the territory of the that's the people's republic. 70 percent of the here, san region, 72 percent of the roads, your region and 99 percent of the golf people's republic had been liberated. the incoming trump administration is suggesting that ukraine accept the reality on the ground and recognize russia's new service or east nature of membership would also be off the table. now that sense of mental giving off territories is also echoed by other, nasal and european officials. so we have to figure out what is in america's best interest. we have a food crisis that's getting worse because of the prolonged warrant eastern europe

. we have the energy crisis, the threatening to swap, multiple allied governments in western europe. what's in america's best interest is to accept ukraine is going to have to seed some territory to the russians. and we need to bring this war to a close name of the c d. c. it is. now you have to think that russia won't withdraw from crimea. it is not you have to think that russia will withdraw from any territory. it controls in 2024 the world. so the so called game changer, american abram staggs answer the battle in addition to other neighbor weapons that continued support. and then he saw them brooding or captured and later displayed for the public to mark. now, after months of keys, begging american f sixteens from the netherlands and denmark also finally made their way to ukraine. those jets, those jets will be flying in the skies of ukraine this summer. to make sure that ukraine can continue to effectively defend itself against the russian aggression.

but so far they haven't made much of an appearance. let alone in fact, perhaps out of fear of the repeating, the abrams this fate. cost of their things, including lift guards, are burning, they are burdening and the f. 16 will burn as well. there is no doubt, all source of sole goal. so for weapons had been poured into the key of regime, no gains, but a ruined reputation and the public masters are beginning to lose patience. we provided the tanks, we provided the f sixteens. we provided the hi maurice, we provided the patriots. we provided many of the things that you said earlier, we wouldn't provide and it's not back then. it's rather today that ukraine finds itself in a more challenged position on the battlefield, suggesting that there's not a straight line between those weapon systems and how it does on the battlefield. where is the straightest line between you, between ukrainian performance and inputs? it's on mobilization of manpower,

a thousands of ukrainian men went into hiding and even fled the country to avoid the possibility of becoming the keeper james next cannon fodder. desperate to replenish troops on the front lines, officers responsible for mobilization, have resorted to ensue named tactics to say the least. ukraine's western base rooms have truly embraced the phrase flight until the very last ukrainian in april of 2024 zalinski signed the law that lowers the mobilization age from 27 to 25. for the sake of getting more us money. as soon as possible was the ultimate goal to drop the age all the way down to 18 years old. our us partners argument is this, during the us war on vietnam, soldiers were drafted from the age of 19. therefore, the americans are hinting that western weapons alone are not enough and mobilization is needed from the age of 18. and of course,

there are people ukraine who wants to take even more extreme measures because they don't have anybody good. the main thing now is not to lose, to avoid losing draconian methods are required, as i see a total mobilization of the entire male and female population from the age of 18, but not necessarily the drafting of convicts for combat action is acceptable. that however doesn't seem to be enough as an drains and unmotivated soldiers are killed within days of reaching the battlefields. was the arrival of donald trump to the white house, the hope of keeping washington's check book wide open is phasing. as biden's saw more, the market leader said he wants peace and he's seen coming in has been critical of ukraine all the way. and we continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refuses to make a deals a lensky. ukraine is not a paragon of democracy. this is

a country that has banned 11 opposition parties. it is consolidated all media into one state tv, media arm. that's not democratic, it is threatened not to hold elections this year unless the us forks over more money. that is not democratic. it is celebrated and not the interests the comedian in cargo pants. a man called zelinski do it in their own ranks. that is not democratic though, we've seen the full flowing river of dollars a year old, shrink throughout the year. 2024 in attempts to reverse the trends and bring back west her love, key of organized as summer, offensive into the rushes, cursed region, killing and pillaging along the way. the

military experts questioned the purpose of this escapade as it weakened the main front lines in the south east, in order to control a small piece of russian woods and swamps while losing troops. m. s. do i think that ukraine use us offensive as a way to capture back? so media attention. yes, absolutely, absolutely. what a stupid tactical decision to make, right strategically. you're not going to take russia me strategically. there's no high value assets in the area that you're in beating me tactically. there's no good reason for doing that. why would you take troops off the front line to move them up north? why would you take high value resources into an area with, with little to gain strategically or tactically, despite suffering massive losses in the incursion? is it ask you, received a tap on the back from his wife and masters? what i think about 1st really, really came to make sure the conflict escalades before the shop moves back to the

oval office, the outgoing vice. and i've been as fresh and gave to you if the green lights to use american long rage attack and dismissal deep into russian territory. the russians in the united states. the fact though, right now, in a war, why is that it is because those attack guns don't 5 by themselves, all requires us personnel and u. s. satellites. this is why the russians have stated that the united states and european targets now in cross has in response to attacking the site extensive demonstrates what it means to be in cross hairs. russia use, it's you irish make hypersonic ballistic missile system. so i think they use marsh, been it for me, industrial plans in the ukranian city of never. well, the state of the art weapon is able to carry a new clear warhead, if carried a conventional one during its 1st strike in november. and it's impossible to

intercept the arrest stick with any western air defense system speeds exceeding mach 10. it would take 12 to 15 minutes for the missile to reach of warsaw or berlin and just 20 minutes to reach london or paris for many in the west. this was a wake up call. this was a new type of leave full capability that was employed on the battlefield. so that's certainly a concern to us. this was a hypersonic missile and it was one with multiple warheads, no nuclear in dates, betterment pollutants suggested that it can potentially get through western ad defenses. this ups, the stakes, significantly for nato doesn't. it certainly does. but russia has many other capable systems of which we know that i'm very well capable of targeting terrace and berlin. on the 30th of december 20, it's funny for us treasury secretary jen. it's getting said us authorities are

transferring $3400000000.00 to ukraine. she explained that this is the last payment to key from the funds allocated by congress in 2024. from now on that, as you must negotiate any new subsidies or assistance within you wide half administration. now all along the campaign trail, trump, i made a promise to and so you create in conflict in 24 hours. now as the president select these, closing the idea to freeze the conflicts at the moment, it's all talk. but when he thinks office of january 20th, he'll have to find the articulate his plan. keep in mind rushes conditions. the principal is, uh no, no, no luck, staples. so feel free and we would be ready to, to be part of the group of countries who would provide collective security guarantees. no, no, no, no,

they don't absolutely know me the 3 basis. know mean that the me the 3 exercises on the credit. and so it will be split dissipation of $4.00 and $4.00 in troops. and people here in gun boss and all across russia hold that 2025 will finally bring them victory and peace, vermont. call for of archie. and that's through public now the beautiful, but often frozen landscape. so if you could say yes, cause a particular claim to fame. it's adored by phone makers. in fact, the treating movies often be died hollywood super heroes at the local box office. forget c g i. it's all about the car boys bags the .
