more the problem is moscow cube and washington wants different outcome the russian forces. takeover a number of sessions in the dentist's republic including new courtney and stronghold of correct about the p. absent troops sustaining over, but $12000.00 casualties during the city siege. germany's foreign minister pushes women's rights on her recent trip to syria, other countries to how to see the decline, to shake her hands on local media because i'm the variable image in the photos to meet a space of religious persecution. rise in these limits control syria, one of the countries like from an increased invoices brings this perspective on the unfolding prices. not on the my life, but matthew likes may be in danger because uh,

we can see that the despite the, the, the words of the quantization varies. carlos, the news and the total cost of, well, this is the international thanks very much. your company this now and we're going to start now with the fact that russian troops have taken strategic gains in the natural public and security number of sacraments that the russian defense ministry saying. the key ukrainian time to cut off over is now on the russian control. without seizure gives russian forces direct road access to the regions. food is and also hinders. keeps ability to show them that city. what under ukrainian control, the area was a main logistics center heavily fortified with troops and tanks. camp is also set to of last of $12000.00 soldiers in the battle of this city alone or seas

corresponded run would cost to bring subsidies out of. now this was truly a christmas gift to the people of domestic people's republic. as russia liberates keys on bus city of crock of on the ration of girl, how it means that the ukrainian, our forces, will have fewer opportunities to fly or on the civilian population of the nest can nearby challenge as well, from our to her assistance. now, according to the russian defense ministry, the ukrainian armed forces last at least 80 percent of their personnel in cross country. and then as people's republic, that means the over 12000 casualties and law office of at least 3000 units on the equipment and the various weapon systems that last 10 years. the key of regime has turn croc about into a powerful uh, 40 flight area with a well developed network off of the flight and points and underground

communications as well. now from the more stuck rock of the is covered by reserve war which significantly limits the maneuverability of the russian assault units, now logistical and the technical support of the ukraine's, the grouping in the next good direction has now being significantly hampered as well. and also, russian troops have now entered the operational space, which will definitely increase the face of the liberation of the rest of the territory of the next people's republic. meanwhile, in the course of the pricing also continues and the over the last 24 hours the trade in on forces last at least $340.00 service men and a lot of equipment as well, including your thanks, infantry fighting vehicles, the army personnel, carriers armor combat vehicles and other equipment as well. now ukraine have

attempted to break through the russian barriers. however, according to the russian defense ministry, although the attempts were few style and unsuccessful, as well as westside gains, a strategic advantage in the next republic most go troops stop an attempt to do credit and break through. this is in the cost region. now capitalist, almost 500 soldiers in one day, a fraction of course, of the estimated 50000 men that it's lost throughout the coast corporation. well, that's discussed is now of the with full, the pentagon senior security policy list. michael. molly's thanks for joining us. who knocked the international? always a pleasure. i'm. let's start off with happening in cut off about the moment. what's your assessment of the importance of this settlement to the ukrainians. and of course they've lost it now. you know, that was a very strategic point. and for the russians, it's is highly strategic because it opens up the space for the rep to take back the

rest of the don't ask republic and it opens up the area. it's just then a wide open area. and the russian troops can just advance further if that's the intent of that they, they last, what is the report states that some 80 percent of their troops, that's significant and, and as, as well as the arguments that they have. and they have limited arguments that can hardly recruit the ukrainians. that is. so i think that, um, this is a very significant blow and, and, and that is a very key area to, to branch out into other areas. so it's a, it was a rather significant win for russian forces. yeah, logistics hub full of ukrainians. obviously, very key for russian. now it's taking the, as you said, massive law says from ukraine and forces that let's just move over to what's happening in co screeching at the moment. we've got kids trying to run subjects,

attempts to push back further into that region. it's got a significant amount of military and vehicles troops that, as it's trying to do this well, to make a big strategy which has been questioned many times before as to whether this was a good thing. few crating to be pushing forward on well, it's a big question and it continues to be question. the only conceivable notion that i can can can think of is that they were trying to establish leverage so that if and when the 2 sides set down to negotiate their the ukrainians, then without some leverage to give back a territory and exchange worse territory. and so, and what is ukraine so, but that's not going to happen. the, i think russian forces are pretty much contained of the ukrainians are surrounded. they can't, they can't really feed in additional supplies without them being detected and

knocked out. so i think that they think the strategy was questionable, i think it was a desperate move and, and in doing that, they pay some of their more experienced forces from the doing this area. making that even more vulnerable, that, that now has allowed russian forces to take, take a over a very strategic positions. so no one understands the strategy. it is a to all that we can think of at this point. it's a, it's a move of, of desperation. and, and we see it also on the political front, zaleski is very, very concerned about acquiring more funds, more of artillery and, and weaponry. and he's trying to use reg, russian, the frozen asset of interest on russian frozen assets to pay the trump

administration, incoming trump administration for, for arms in the future. this is a desperation. and clearly he's a, he's a zalinski is, is in desperate straits right now. and he really, and i think the ukraine, people need to rise up at this point and start doing something about it, take care of business internally to the top that or by coast potentially being important. so negotiations between ukrainian or russian. the feature that is something we've just told us, secretary of state on to me, blinked and spacing, saying that it will play a crucial part of the playing card. how big of a playing card could it be for any territorial games that have, has made in new co screeching? if russia and ukraine sit down the negotiating table again soon? a to well, i think you crave, they'll be happy to get it. so forces back

a lot of their, their, their, their contained, there's nothing to give back. the russians, russian forces basically have him surrounded other there's that there's no way that ukraine could claim any amount of victory and taking over the territory and that, and hold it as hostage is just not going to happen. and, and, and again, the to listen to lincoln say, other anything is, is a, is a non star and people need to just dismiss that up right there. there's no leverage here. it's, it's pretend leverage the ukrainians. thought that they, that, that they can gain make this a point of leverage squared for the go station. and it has a miss miller terribly. it has failed. and, and i think that this is a sort of, again, blinking is trying to tell the world, don't believe you're lying, eyes on what you see,

the russians clearly have the ukrainian forces surrounding and, and there. and there's no way that they can reinforce them. and they, they're losing their, or they have was, frankly, this war has been over for all intents and purposes. it's just a map up now. interesting as well. that rhetoric still coming out of the, the outgoing bite and administration, misdemeanors. thanks very much for joining us. that's full of authentic on for a senior security policy unless michael that well, this comes as broadway as the landscape is increasingly desperate for ukraine to join nato. now suggesting that the invitation to the book could be different only to the territories and the ukrainian control. so bumble as little similar to just so you understand the situation. the invitation to nato is legislatively issued to ukraine. so to us, all those territories are still ukraine, but nato can sofa act only in a pa that's under ukrainian control. this can be negotiated. however,

those remarks contradict comments made by citizens it just a month ago. this one, he said, you quite would never accept the partial invitation to nature, insisting that that would automatically recognize territories current in the russian control is being known. ukrainian, we spoke to during list daniel lazar who says that so lensky is obsession with nato is dictated by a desire to win the conflict. on his test page, he wants to win the war. he wants a settlement on uh, on ukraine's terms. he, you know, he doesn't want a settlement that's in any way. ready compromise he wants essentially to, to get his entire program fulfilled. and that requires that continue and us support and requires some kind of level of nato's support and natal nato involvement up to and possibly include in ukrainian membership in nato. these are,

these are unacceptable as far as russia is concerned, but that's what's the last few months. so it's a recipe for more and more war for the war, continuing on indefinitely. well, back in washington, the us sector, your state has confirmed that it started the weapons flow to calf months before russia launched this military operation in 2022. moscow has said that this was no revelation, but one of the reasons it's hand was forced. first, if you look at the trajectory of, of the conflict, because we saw it coming, we were able to make sure that not only will be prepared and allies and partners are prepared for that. ukraine was prepared. that we made sure that well before the russian aggression happened, starting in september comp, the russian aggression happened in february starting in september. and then again, december, we quietly got a lot of weapons to, to ukraine, to make sure that they hadn't had what they needed to defend themselves. things like sting or is travelling so that they could use russia has been talking about

this for many years about the us and u. k. pumping ukraine with weapons about endless nato drills in the black sea, violating russian borders about western military aircraft, getting dangerously close to civil plains in russian air space. that's exactly why one of the special military operations objectives is the demilitarization of ukraine to ensure our security. while international security consultant rasmussen has told us that the us is constantly feeding the narratives about ukraine's the general public is on the way of the reality of the situation along. of course with the west swollen that you know, the narrative is a era ukraine being invaded and, and full scale invasion, which we know it's not a full scale invasion. so by uh, by rough uh, you know, the big uh, the big barrel next door in and we will talk about the piece agreement that very close to being finalized and how the us and the ukraine

intervene to prevent that. we don't talk about the mist agreements and that the intention was never to resolve those issues. uh, that was supposed to and germany and france were supposed to give guarantees to that. and of course they did not, they lied, but most likely the us was aware of that situation, that situation as well. so we don't talk about the training of tens of thousands of troops during that time period since the coo and the special military operation. a tomato standards nor do we talk about the modernization and construction of new biological research facilities for the top secret work that they were doing. um, so there's a lot of a lot of a lot of things that we don't talk about and we don't bring it up. because if we do

perhaps people the public that we're trying to present this to would have more realistic. they may not agree with. with the special mon preparation, but perhaps we would have a more realistic and a more understanding of that of a situation there to garza now, where is well, continues its relentless bombardment. despite on going to switch race with how much the coefficients say 50 people were killed over the last 24 hours. but sundays attack on the news director of the she company own type central region claiming 5 lives in wounding dozens more well, the casualties, including children have been transferred to a nearby hospital. you an official say i need 16 medical facilities, also partially functioning across the whole of garza. and even though it was overwhelmed with should be a shortages of medical equipment and stuff of the well,

given the dire situation, one pediatrician had no option but to return to work on the front lines. and this is often losing a leg himself in this way. they strike, they've been hearing a story the. ringback the way i was working in the hospital when i went to be re camp and there was an air strike next to us. i was injured by shrapnel and my leg. and because i was diabetic, the wound got worse and there were no doctors to treat it. as a result, my leg was amputated. the 2 months ago i received a prosthetic leg and went through a period of rehabilitation. i returned to my work in the pediatric department. i

also returned home where i have been working for more than 23 years. it is a great achievement to be able to work again. medicine is basically a humanitarian profession rather than a surface one. you provide a service to your family, neighbors and people, so it is hard to stop. this is what motivates me to continue no matter what the can in november, i was displaced for the 1st time from bray camp to new see rock camp. i was still working at the time, the area where my wife and children lived was bombed. so i brought them to this hospital and lived here because the place where we lived in no longer existed the

after they decided to amputate my right leg. we did some test on my left leg and found out that some arteries are quite narrow and need to be treated as soon as possible to prevent another detection. i was suppose to be treated by w h o 4 or 5 months ago, but no one contacted me the, well, the idea is reportedly wanting it, so just against traveling abroad. now this follows a brazilian pro games and is rarely reservist for potential will crime. scene garza, while these riley citizen was able to flee the south american state officials back home. all concerned to find the president we are witnessing is a systematic in the anti submitted campaign aimed at denying israel's right of self defense. countless international actors in many countries are complicit in this is

ready. media also reports at least 12 of the cases. this includes the one in brazil being registered against on the soldiers. most of the complaints were filed by a pro palestinian n g o is an old so human rights organizations as of yet, so none of those accused have been arrested. that's wrong. the guns of will idea of soldiers have posted numerous looking videos to social media. some of them capturing these alleged will crimes. this controversial voltage can still be found online and could potentially be used as evidence in court, international relations commentator and also one daily. and so me says the findings again, sorry to ask members you a significant blow to as well as with principal in fact i most and previously what time season organizations goal for is the broad page of the senior leaders in easy way to government. for example, think, i mean it's and yeah,

and some very c, uh, minutes ago officials. so now i'm moving the page here and focusing now and i, so i, the soldiers. what is that, what will will, this thing does is disrupt israel's, these really governments recruitment process of new ideas. so just when, when you joined the idea, uh, do you believe whatever you believe, you know which aligns with the lady coming to join the idea. but the, you, you do not have the understanding that you could be processing towards. the understanding is always that people that get charged or seen. yeah. governance official senior minutes ago, piece of. so the idea that even an idea of soldier, the why i'm pulling the trigger cables to get charged outside of diesel and now both countries and so on. so that does disrupt the ease, ease rose

a recruitment strategy of of do so it is not just and useful, but they are recruiting from outside of diesel as well. so that entire process gets heavily disrupted. so the impact could be very good, very uh, diet for yourself and along with the but it's had to serial now with top different lot. so in germany and phones pay to recent visit omaha, the e, with the hopes of turning a new page in ties reporting on fridays top level talks local media. it shows though to blue, right, the image of the german for minnesota and the lynette facebook as well. no official reason has been given someone pointed out that the germans, different lots clothing could have been problematic. she chose to wear trousers and full go covering ahead decisions which do conflict with some islamic norms. h t s v does, however, have denied, seeking to impose sherry

a little in the country. miss bible clay to told the press that serious relations with you do depend on any leadership attitude towards gender equality. a better future for syria means and inclusive peaceful transfer of power reconciliation and reconstructs. this requires the political dialogue involving all ethnic and religious groups involving men and equally women. we're frauds. and so many places not on you from syrian people in europe, but also from syrian people when i was before christmas and turkey. and also here today that they are making clear women rights are yacht sticks for the future, for everyone in the free sites. not only as many syrians will therefore just sit new rulers by the ex. well, the head to the trip, the german foreign minister,

had said she'd been creating the new leadership with the not stretched hand. i wrote it to you though. upon arrival of her tardy, i'll show him the chief decline to shake by a box hand. is that just the one either awesome, distressing image is about to come on to screen. these were taken from social media and supposedly show serious current justice minister, ordering the execution of to women who allegedly accused of adultery, these incidents simply to taking place in it live during the civil war in 2015 necessary and media have proof of the month pate should he, on the screen is shoddy out of wasi, a prominent i'll new store front terrorist figure who was appointed to the head of the ministry following last months, totaling up a shot all a sub. well, there's also the struggle in the cultural balancing act. now in syria, a teachers staging a protest outside the ministry of education in damascus. this is on sunday,

controversial changes to the school curriculum under the new government have raised alarms for the changes have affected science lessons related to the brain and also human for the history. cloths references have been deleted to the ultimate occupation on past due in figures who are now considered fictional characters, demonstrate just demanding that specialized committees make the curriculum decisions and not supplement officials. and then what we are here today because the can take a government is not authorized to make file reaching a radical changes. we offer any change that touches the glorification of the system, it sayings and so on. as for the issue of deleting for cancelling and amending any part, we hope that it will be through specialized committees. that didn't mind changing the curricula in this fast moving time confuses the student. whether he is a certificate high school student or not as well. we hope that the curricula will be changed according to specialized committees, and for the coming years and not now much that is sodium coupled with my 1st and

strongest objection in my scientific capacity, is to the amendments made to history materials. the deletion of most of the images, sculptures and gods from the history of syria. the story, well, how you will? well, fans of our need sex are in conflict all spreading across syria and made reports of threats and attacks of religious minorities. my colleague, you know, need to discuss the situation with the mother superior of the mama street of saint james, the mutilated in syria. she's been explaining what questions now facing in me is the missed one nation following the overthrow of the solid government. not only my life, but the man, the life so may be in danger because we can see that the, despite the words of the to include is ation very scales. and the we, we don't even know who is leading to. he is

a country many groups. so many entities, we can say that the, every but the most people do sometimes whatever they want. and there are so many particular events, the particular events of aggression, no, probably of this couldn't be nation of aggression. to tell you the tools icon that's mostly so the protection, it's impossible to be. one story we've been following. here are the top diplomats from ostensibly christian nations, germany and friends visiting damascus and meeting the new hates t. s. leaders. how early in our power, as indeed any other nation in the west made any attempts to contact you and

offer offer support to the christian community? no, no, we really, really, really good. it is like is scheduled for next iteration. everybody says, i mean, those people are coming from european nations or from western nations or from either the conditions. they say everything is okay. it's in the beginning, it's celia and the inventive. but in reality, we don't see the outcome of the scenes to me here is it to everybody's celebrating. i am afraid that we are heading over to terra and this is very negative.

but nobody's saying that there is there not, for example, in the western media, and they called ways that they, they don't saved the tools. they don't know why they just, they're just happy that to be changed. happened. many people the other 3 to, to leave the country of the day, see if he's continues, we're going to be able to leave to the verse safety the in this country. so i don't know, i hope for that. then you leave this, we have a, the, the credits to, to look at union executive way. i mean, what is happening by them? do we try to find solution? i feel that they are close numbers and uh,

they were not expecting that to to, to, to run a country isn't it did say the same thing is in this, in to the computer. for example, the mother i can is, can i just ask you ahead of the fast approaching orthodox christmas? is there anything you would like to say to the millions of people who will be marking it? when do you she's made to the letter said, or deluxe. well, we have a great talk into orthodox words because they keep the wheels and not the for the fidelity or their friend use the tradition on what to do the honey fonts or just the they told us we have the same font this year to see the addition, so of course the very unhappy and very proud

of then we are also very much united ways of them even so we follow another kind of but it's the same. we study each this jesus is the same uh the fees. so for the best, for the ortho dos with the internet, right, the phone is or the any see you in the, in the title. but it's been a pleasure having you with us of the last 30 minutes. we'll be back with more with the news update local time here. most coach foss, him hope to see you then the the.
