12:04 am
the multi poto world continues to grow. and can you get, can you give us a broader perspective of what, what is this integration of a, have, i mean, in a broader sense for that content as well. the coming in off the new president of gun a who is replacing, as we've mentioned, to the outgoing president. not not to a who full has raised questions about governance, relationship with neighboring countries on the entire beach. and in fact, you wouldn't remember that to prison mohammed had previously criticized president out before i do for allegedly damaging guidance relationship with the king, a fossil leading to diplomatic cases between the 2 countries. and that was particularly on the false claims about booking. a fossil hiring russian forces and offering a mind as a payment which lead to patina fossil really summoning down as a method a to explain those false claims. now the current present at the time proceed to those games and see to a future government would love to resolve the strain relationship internationally
12:05 am
and locally. he even emphasized the need for strengthen board is increased surveillance and even enhanced security to me is just to prevent potential split overs from regional conflicts. but the 2 countries have, so this reaffirmed to the a commitment to working together and fighting terrorism in the west african beach and, and that cooperation. i mean, that friendship and relationship seems to be working really because in the same information that we saw president abraham 12, of which in a fossil made a star rick and trying for the entry to across to attend to the ceremony of president, my hum. he's a visit tomorrow to his 1st official visit to god no, any as a country outside this, the holly lies since coming into paula in 20. 22 and the reception was not due for us to protect you about the visit. read the underscore, the importance of regional cooperation and the deepening relationship between picking up also. and i don't even find that. and as the global solved countries and
12:06 am
very important fee as well gotten to remains the only coastal states not directly impacted by. so how based attacks and that is thanks to it's a visit needs. however, it has absorbed over $15000.00 refugees from picking a fossil needing to significant economy cost security places. but it does see it is managing the school over effects by expanding its military and security operations in the north. and about 2 years ago, you'd remember pertaining to fossil malia, an easy form to be alliance of the whole states. the nations announced the withdrawal from april was noting due, gonna zation had failed them and failed to help them in the fight against terrorism . but as of course see, overall the form achieved, mahatma had a very good plan in mediating and a lot of conflicts in the south region. and what he's experienced. many believe she will have a political role to pain bringing to give the the sub region and helping this the
12:07 am
whole achieve the school, the global self north live and job. i could just office 7 am and locally. that's our correspondent oliver ok. thank you. so georgia has a fire to back up front, it's pending power. if to stay in its own lane, it's after a manual macro and deliberate a slew of allegations against the police. he's saying that nation is beholden to moscow. you know, the name that we see in recent years, russia has intensified its aggression and change the nature of its aggression towards europeans and other countries of the world. we saw it in georgia by destabilizing the electoral process by stuffing ballot boxes. and they tried the same and moved over, but they did not succeed. let the french president take a look at ukraine, which they have sacrificed to its destruction. i'm talking about what the real problem is. i won't comment on the allies. i'm commenting about the problem that we
12:08 am
are all facing today. i devastated ukraine. yeah, well no surprise, as a background remarks just sparked fears, criticism meant to police say that the speaker of george's parliament reminded the french and needed to perhaps look in his own gilded mirror and see how powers has lost credibility. not that i intend to interfere in french domestic politics, but given that 61 percent of french people support the resignation of president macro and 50 percent want the dissolution of the national assembly. new elections may be a good way out of the political crisis. but it was just last month that the french president publish a video and message to the george and people who supported thank europe and in democratic aspirations of some georgians and insisted that europe doesn't look to the stabilizers neighbors. but as western powers would that troublesome and g o, it was a put huge pressure on their public of georgia sense, parliamentary elections and october, 4th, about post elections meddling. the countries being gripped by fiery protests led by
12:09 am
pro e u. opposition groups and funded by the usual suspects like no surprise you george soros and his client of and g. o. to refuse to recognize the ruling policies victory. we heard from the leader of george and opposition party, the support to a more national oriented stands. he said, microns comments are just another example in a long list of what he calls the west hypocritical foreign policy. this is alyssa, i completely agree with prime minister call, but he'd say i want to add to his remarks. let my cron worry about his own country about those tragic results of his own repressions. for example, of the yellow best movements. at that time, the french police arrested 3000 people and they are now serving prison sentences. we have arrested only 8 people. there was no interference from russia right now, but there was a clear direct intervention, an attempt to over throw the legitimately elected governments by the european union
12:10 am
and the outgoing us administration. it would be good if my crown would worry about his own country and his own readings. he is a president of a country that doesn't support him. you could even come in 2nd place and then the election. by the way, it's worth comparing how my crone schultz and the british were outraged by you alone must statements when he supported the ferry popular alternative for germany party. that is, when the situation concerns them. they consider such statements to be interference in internal affairs. but they think that they can do the same, and this trend has been observed for centuries. they're just used to treating other nations that way. they don't know georgia by to syria. we go here on the program of a half a 1000000 people have now been displaced from the homes. of course it's off to the highest totally. and i'll show them to earth group over through bush on our side of the nation. last month. thousands more and seeking refuge. a broad open i'll talk
12:11 am
corresponding to steve sweeney is a lot going on with the refugee who now recalls the time when damascus file. i think does this stop to talk this through you will it in damascus on the night that the city fell to the dead on these forces? can you tell us what it was like on that night? sort of how am your i anticipated that the fall of the regime was near on the night the regime fell in damascus. i returned home at around 11 p. m. at that hour old damascus. and the rest of the city was gripped by significant tension. attention arose from reports that the army was withdrawn from certain areas in the damascus country side. this withdrawal was accompanied by immense fear among the syrians. i woke up at 2 am to the sound of gunfire. at that point i started communicating with my friends, both those in damascus and those outside the city. some friends in damascus told me to stay calm and that the groups entering various areas of the damascus countryside
12:12 am
weren't causing any harm. there was no immediate danger, but we would hear a chance of a low up bar and gunfire. people were understandably scared. no one dared to leave their homes. we knew that arm groups were entering, but we didn't know how they were treating civilians. we stayed inside our homes, avoiding any interaction with the former regime for the new groups entering damascus, ultimately as minorities living and bob to my a christian neighborhood. our lives were at risk. despite being sheet of muslims, we were vulnerable to murder, a solve for having our freedoms curtailed. as i understand, there were many, many thousands of people that fled syria off to the terra regime, to power jeweller among these peoples. can you just tell us about how and in fact, why you decided to at least area and a little bit about the people that were with even on the 1st day after the resumes
12:13 am
form, the groups entering were not extreme. is like hired to rear alshaun or jump out on those for the 1st group to enter from the damascus country side is in southern syria was the us backed omega. we're all star. these individuals didn't subscribe to outside as id, ology, or extreme as long as views, they were armed, states supported fighters who entered damascus because of this, people were not as fearful. however, when hired to rear alshaun entered damascus, the next day people began to fear them. they had long hair and no moustaches. they were armed some carrying isis flags and others, displaying sectarian slogans on their vehicles. for instance, there were slogans like we are against christians, and we will kill the sheet. of the slogans were visible on the vehicles arriving from ed live while some celebrated the developments. others packed up and left the very next day. among those who fled were christians, i personally met christian priests of the syrian lebanese border. luckily, he made out of sylvia. others have not been so fortunate and
12:14 am
we're having these horror stories of the persecution of christians, of she uh, of lights we're hearing i'm, we've seen footage circulating on social media showing some homes atrocities being carried out against these minority communities and against those alleged to have been very close to all parts of the assad government. what can you tell us about the fundamental problem is that over 14 years, these groups have committed heinous crimes. when they gain control over, most of syria, minorities began feeling deeply anxious. whether christians, she is al white's or drew's all face threats, even the druids who often oppose decides regime were now under a greater threat from high up to 3 or alshaun for minorities. the primary concern became their survivals in old damascus. there were no immediate attacks of
12:15 am
minorities, but in areas like the city of homes, there were mass killings targeting, she is, she is, we're just waste from their homes. mosques were looted in churches in the city of homes, were ransacked. homes were confiscated in their rightful owners were expelled. people were subjected to in humane treatment, rounded up and executed for being l white or shields. christians were slightly more protected due to international attention, but she is in our whites were left defenseless. despite promises from the new government to protect minorities, these were dismissed as isolated incidents. the new government claimed they weren't responsible for individual actions. however, under assad's regina such actions were suppressed immediately. so this tool, the way of hearing lots of in particular in the west, in price of the new regime. the qu, administration in syria protecting minority
12:16 am
seems to be from what you're saying, something of a mist. honestly, western media has been working to rehabilitate the image of of mohammed al giovanni . since the fall of a size regime. they portray him as a hero who over through one of the most oppressive regimes in the middle east. but al giovanni remains a criminal. this fact has been forgotten, thanks to the efforts of western media. western outlets have re branded al giovanni has someone who has changed overnight despite his affiliations with isis and you about on those track. the media has worked to clean his image for the world. both western and syrian audiences they succeeded. i must admit, however, syrians, especially minorities, cannot forget 14 years of atrocities. the ongoing attempt to convince the west that al giovanni's group protects minorities is misleading. recently the french foreign minister visited old damascus, and met with christian priest. their primary concern was not just their safety, but the safety of all syrians. they told the minister, it's not enough for us to live in peace. we want all syrians to live in peace, whether they are,
12:17 am
she is sunni's drew's or our whites. the sentiment was express beautifully by a priest as long as my syrian neighbour is safe, i am said is this profound statement emphasizes unity and the collective wellbeing of all syrians. for the summer, holding him an economic stop to a opposite and skied, turn off the tops of cheap of russian energy flowing into europe. hungary says, ukraine has taken it upon itself to spark a deepening crisis in the e u. and that's put t as hope of joining the block in jeopardy since the end of ukrainian transit route, the price of natural gas and the european market has increased by 20 percent. thus, while ukraine aspires to join the u as a candidate, another decision has once again put the european economy in a more difficult position. ukraine's decision to stop transit shipments will lead to further price increases and create new competitiveness challenges for central europe and the european union as a whole. but besides soaring energy costs,
12:18 am
taking every consume a pocket book, the whole of europe is faced with shrinking gas reserves. a bloomberg reporting that resolves and now it's 70 percent capacity. that is much low then levels last year and there's winter is gripping the rage on local prices are expensive to keep on rising as cheap a pipe. the russian gas is replaced by expensive american l. n. g, however, the russian economy, despite western science and the sanctions on sabotage, has barely felt the impact. and it continues to grow. was most kobus tied eastwood . it's been delivering gas to the power of siberia pipeline. the customers like china, next gas to us as a while, ukraine and is europe and sponsors will suffer from kids short sighted decision. the russian economy remains very much into the actually even you agree is losing on this because of the, of the freeze the they slow them for transit. this is what they call the you are being, i guess, the dilemma. actually europe is trying to die, right?
12:19 am
diversify it's very energy sources, but each cannot in the short term because it's still relying on russian energy sources. and uh, in order for it to actually say versus why he's going to take some time. it's not going to be yours. my going to be a couple years is gonna take a decade for a couple of decades. and this is problematic for european politicians and affordable fits. so the impact is very low. it's and they're one percent of the russian g, d, b, that's being impacted on this. and the, i think the euro will still be using the russian energy sources. even man, i'm short term states i down here on the program with donald trump has a choose the outgoing bite and administration of playing with fire when it comes to
12:20 am
ukraine. he said he understands the issues, russia face stuff. the kid was promised the dream of joining the nato, blah. a big part of the problem was russia for many, many years long before a boat and said, you could never have nato involved with ukraine. now they've said that that's been like written in stone. and somewhere along the line vitally said, no, they should be able to join nato. well then russia has somebody right in the doorstep and i could understand the feeling about that. but i think part of a dollar thomas presidential campaign was a promised to end the ukrainian conflict in a single day from appointed a special then for the tackle. the issue, however, however, keith kessler because postponed his trip. the key of we spoke with the author of google archipelago, michael rectinwald's, who says what about from one's might not be enough to overcome the desires of the elite and the american military industrial complex. because they trump promised to end the war in ukraine before he got into office. then of course he found out
12:21 am
that's not really possible because he's not allowed to negotiate until he is actually the president. and i would think that the policy better change because we're feeding all of these ukrainians and russians into the mob desk for absolutely nothing. and all of this i think, has to do with the interest in ukraine's resources and not with anything to do with putting that so that you know, the so called hitler and so forth. i think this is really another case of lies issued by the representatives of the military industrial complex to keep this as an add a never ending war. and there is no sense in which we, we, we, united states needs to be involved and we need to get our, for our money and our funds out of this conflict and quit sending arms and in money
12:22 am
to ukraine. this is outrageous. what, what's, what is happening, billions and billions and billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars keep flowing to ukraine to no end. and for no reason the, my good leader and his page. he also said that the us should take control over green law for america's national security. and now get this less than 2 weeks before trumps integration. his son travel to the danish territory about trump force one to take a closer look. well, a trump junior has insisted his visit as a quote personal day trip, and he didn't plan on conducting any official negotiations. a denmark i liked the us as a native member states and has sovereignty over greenland, while it so rejected the rhetoric from the trump family about a possible with the vision. over the us present, the deluxe has left the door open for a different route to gain control a. have a listen to this. terry.
12:23 am
and for national security purposes, i've been told that for a long time, long before i even ran, i mean people have been talking about it for a long time. you have approximately 45000 people there. people really don't even know if denmark has any legal rights to it, but if they do, they should give it up because we need it for national security. that's for the free world. i'm talking about protecting that very well. you look at, you don't even need binoculars. you look outside, you have china ships all over the place. you have russian ships all over the place . we're not letting that happen. it makes no sense at all. i have no idea of what security he could possibly be talking about. there is no threat posed through uh, green uh, greenland to the united states. 7 7 i really think this is kind of uh, an egoistic rhetoric that's being pumped out here through the trump campaign regarding or the trump team, i should say, with reference to canada and greenland,
12:24 am
both of which he hopes to a max or make states or something to this effect in the case of canada, he wants to make it a state. so this is just crazy. we have real problems in the united states that we need a dress to united, that the voters who voted for trump voted to have a dress so help. and those include, of course, our own economic was really some royal meant with the wars including and ukraine and israel on, on gaza, all of these things and the incredible inflation that we're facing, they should focus on what they promised to deliver. uh, not on these uh land grabs that they're looking at with reference to greenland and canada. hypersonic missiles, they seem to be popping up all over the place these days, whether iran or yeah, no, no, of course russia. but now north korea has conducted a test launch of a new ballistic missile with hypersonic technology.
12:25 am
the end of the project all is said to have reached the maximum speed of my 12 or 4 kilometers a 2nd block that off from a side outside the national capital, if you on. yeah. and it flew across the country to a target in the waters off the nation's east coast. the government who described them as all as a, the terrans, to any potential aggressive mean. while south korea has tried to down play the weapons capability, the countries on an inquiry, what we believe north korea was exaggerating the capabilities of its missile system, including the flight distance and 2nd peak. according to the analysis by south korea, us and japan, the missile flew about 1100 kilometers and there was no 2nd peak. no, it wouldn't be difficult to use such systems in a relatively small territory, like the korean peninsula possible they are right. the missile won't be used in
12:26 am
south korea. there's not a reason that using this like us and south korea. north korea has more than enough but to reach sol uh, which is not far from the border. and reach any other point to known as our current balance. so like if, wherever comes, right, particularly from the south. now on the other hand, as a deterrent as a strategic web. uh, this is a very active, uh, realistic weapon. uh, this is a weapon system that can destroy, for example, the port facilities in guam in guam. it gives the main logistics space for the us military. and the western pacific rama has a marine brigade station there. it's got 4 facilities repair facilities. a don't, don't forget the american re doesn't have a lot of to be tenders. in other words, when the rounds and the rockets and the fuel start to run out on the ships, there are a lot of ships in the us navy. they can actually do the reordering that most of the time they use, we for lack of a logistics on, on water, water,
12:27 am
all logistics for us to go back to for some for we saw that in the red sea, especially after all your ships got hit, they go straight into the goals cuz they gotta get repair off and they do that when they run out of business too. so this is the same thing and one is the biggest strategic for somebody because it's so far away they've got and they're all more facilities. obviously in japan, but japan's relatively close rate. and these missiles can be used against your panels. but now you've got a missile that can go non nuclear warhead. now remember, what are the other significant? now even one, we're going as much 12. you could possibly destroy a very large chunk of not the entire port facility for damage. you know that it can service the american uh ships right before we wrap it up here on the program uh to america's west coast, we go to southern california to be specific out fire. is it a sweet thing? the area local authorities raise you mandatory evacuation orders for tens of
12:28 am
thousands of residents. now the fires are opting in the morning hours a so called a sensor and of show wins. excuse me, it's not the animal show inside of the basically whipped off and cause the frame to spread through of a 10 square kilometers with no sign. all the high winds are bathing overnight in the regions of thread continues to grow. no numbers you have on how many homes have been destroyed, but there have been many. now another fi has now started north of downtown. as 55 is are battling on 2 fronts. at least we understand over 30000 residents have been e back. there's the 1st uh, the original fi consumed houses in the residential neighborhood of firefighters are on the scene, but local authorities are simply saying the worst is yet to come. looking at his updates up by the minute here on how to international the updates coming in from southern california. we'll keep you posted on these bias for the meantime. you're well, but headlines returning when we return that will be the top of the hour.
12:29 am
the, the, not all the, even the origin norion's and a few are so of course there's 3 now i'm sure most of the different levels walks or see anybody on the well, i'm just curious. rush, it was one big family, tens of millions, strong. despite the differences that united, because the most important thing defines them as respect for tradition, the values, the russians, pride and legacy lies in the older generations. to find those of the terrible who defended the right to exist. people of coverage and don't shrink people in a strength to shipping. okay. the thoughts is what we invite you to how
12:30 am
much was more kind inconvenience and maybe a man somebody who knows just a oh, but that's what it was. it's never did. i see it the, it's the news here with the 1st just in your stuff in the 1st to come give them the i don't see what idea we but i have so many more speech deal with that. she knows. so i do have idea of the ceiling rescue defense. we know putting in the best selling my thumbs to wash me. so i started but got somebody new died. i got the faster than the other, which i didn't force them any cartridge. no, i mean we're counting all the veterans feet so would take more than a lifetime. but it's an important topic to keep talking about. and most importantly, the memories on to future generations. the process pride is it to use its future purposeful, educated and compassionate.
