2:04 pm
that the perpetrators knew exactly where there was find those explosive devices added as it would swear. normally, diplomats park their cars, but not in those days because of those warnings that were issued by russia's intelligent services. who said that they received information from europe, that kia was planning a series of publications in the form of terrorist attacks against russian diplomatic missions across europe and particular in slovakia, in hungary as well as in germany, they said that as most likely to happen in baltic and scandinavian countries, and it looks like this was one of their attempts and must go demanded answers right away and a thorough investigation from france. and this is what marie is a harv of the spokesman for the foreign ministry, had to say, as soon as this happened, what happened on the territory of the russian consul? it and mercy. obviously has all the hallmarks of a terrorist act. we demanded from france an immediate comprehensive investigation
2:05 pm
and of course measures to strength and security. thank god, no one was hurt. now as we understand it, local law enforcers are working, but the relevant demands from the russian side have been made. and it looks like france lessons and now friends to fresh nationals are in custody, who are detained again, out of pro ukrainian protests and russia has since of course, stepped up security measures at diplomatic emissions and france for now it's only in france, but we'll see of course how the story develops. the head of the french non profit west these nicholas murph, which told us empty russian rhetoric in europe is provoking people to commit acts of violence against innocent civilians. to try to maintain war against the people who have done bass. and in these, these 2 regions and against russia, and we all know that there are very extreme people around. so that's getting around or you create new nationalist coming from new nazi. i would say the political parties and, and they want, they want to fight. they want to push this as far as they can to, to,
2:06 pm
to drive some sort of wedge between russia and ukraine. and this is, of course, this will count to 5 because we have arrived in a situation where today even the us and restaurant waiting on the same the same way in the un security council. this is practically unheard of in these past 2 years. and at the same moment, we have people in the west for trying to do everything they can to, to maintain the war. this is something that i think which is negative for your credit, and it's going to be difficult presidency in such i would say a global atmosphere and his supporters that they're gonna try everything they can do to keep bound to doing it. they couldn't make, maintaining this work, but i think that globally, a lot of people just want to say ok, this time it's time for peace. several children, including a new born, died overnight from cold weather in gas. i, according to health officials in the strip of israel continues to restrict shipments of tents and mobile homes onto our list and the entire tree, the depth of destruction in the wake of the id f operations. it's dark and those
2:07 pm
returning to the enclave is northern regions are grappling with. our little roommates is this of this council? the strike on the house was a shock for us. i didn't expect them to strike the house. we told them where regular people, we're civilians with people who are not connected to anything. when the house was struck, i felt that we lost everything because the only thing we own is the house. we lived a nightmare for 15 months, and now this is the greater nightmare. because this is a personal loss for us losing memories and our entire lives in a moment. it's a feeling no words can describe, prevented us am. but it comes as a shocking statement referring to palestinian men in kansas. sub human has been made by lawmaker from benjamin netanyahu, is ruling the crude party. but the, during our meeting with european, an error of the state to set the parliamentary assembly of the mediterranean. it
2:08 pm
was obvious that no one wants to palestinians. everyone just like pushes them into israel to live. i know why didn't egypt take the when it made peace with israel? no, it's awesome because it didn't want the egypt to know it would have to deal with sub human scum and will behave like barbarians sleep. i mean nobody wants them, but that's cool. fire storm of control receive to disturb and remarks from israel's vice speaker. parliament where he refers to palestinians from garza's sub human critics say his language, check those dangerous rhetoric from nazi racial ideology, dehumanizing type groups to justified violence. and the irony is in the last israel was found in the aftermath of the holocaust. you have a senior jewish lawmakers now using similar language, and it's not just words. it's a mindset that shapes policy in the same interview, but to relate out what he sees as a military strategy, suggesting to eliminate all a doubts in god's. i'm take a listen. he says he's real needs
2:09 pm
a lot of ammunition to fight all the terrorist hiding and every hole in every corner, we already eliminated 20000 and we have 10000 more left before the maybe win winning because we're being mess of old to the women and children that maybe we should just call them the whole place as you're suggesting moments while i do not enough. we've been, we've managed to properly separate the kids from the adults, they will go, i don't see any innocent adults there. i'm pretty sure the name to my level, so you're saying all the adults and gaza should be killed the whole there anyone still there should be treated as an adult because we have move the women and children with them. and so you're saying separate the women and children, and then target adults that will do the trick is the sides. and the only thing that i mean come on, we do not and will not hold back in illuminating terrorists at a time of war. we won't let them get away by dressing up a civilians, we will eliminate them all. and these statements come at the crucial moment while mediators scramble to keep the fragile gas to cease by from collapsing. on
2:10 pm
surprisingly high mass has fired back or the statements made by the terrorist connected vice speaker newsome by tory or a public incitement to an ethnic cleansing policy. and embody the pass of genocide that the war criminals among the leaders of the occupation have chosen against our palestinian people over the past 15 months. this isn't just about one politicians words, it's part of the road in narrative where poly stands. i'll pull trade isaac's pen, develop its rhetoric that dominates is really politics widely spread. it is really media as well designed to strip away human dignity and justified policies of occupation. fueling. it would move violence right now, while guys are remains in limbo with over 48000 palestinians killed in the war as well as shifting focus to the west bank. where are the app is expanding its large scale operation? tanks have brawled into jeanine in the north, although to wide west bank for the 1st time and 2 decades. 40000 people have
2:11 pm
already been displaced from refugee camps that were originally meant to shelter palestinians, forced out of the homes of to israel's creation. israel has made it clear it plans to stay in the west bank for at least another year. and some of these really politicians openly calling for the west bank to become and now the guys on the speculation is ro, maybe preparing to a next the area entirely. so for toys words on the isolated, but rather part of a pattern, take a listen. a lot decides and the siege to break the siege. it will be, in my opinion, a terrible decision because without hunger and thirst among the gods of population, we will not be able to recruit collaborators. we will not be able to recruit intelligence. we will not be able to provide people with drink with food, with medicine, but some, it's clear for everyone today the right wing parties were correct about the
2:12 pm
palestinian matter. today it's very simple. you're going everywhere and they tell you and natalie gaza. the can put some say in isolate them, even my attorney's office colleagues who always disagree with me and everything. they tell me mostly of course we must and nearly all guidance. i don't know what the lead. i've ordered a complete c jim gaza. there will be no electricity, no food, no more, no fuel, everything will be cut off. we're fighting against human animals and we're action according. and it's not just the israel, the language is shifting elsewhere to of to listen to meeting with benjamin. antonia who us president trump spoke about gaza, devastated by is really as strikes note as accumulates here in crisis, but as a real estate project suggesting the relocation of hundreds of thousands of palestinians from this trip, regardless of their will in their opinion. where is the washington that once called for 2 state solution in a world where wards carry power, the rhetoric against palestinians in gaza and in the west bank is only getting
2:13 pm
sharper and as language escalades. so do actions pushing 80 hold for peace even further away. well, let speak live on this with defense on government. call them as for israel, as long as running newspaper. how ritz mr. i'm your or and you're always welcome sir. thank you for your time. it's long. wait. just a very powerful, a motor to what are the implications of referring to any group of people or sub human, and particularly in the context of this heightened conflict in your view too. well, the direct answer to the direct question is of course, that you should be calm down. um, of course, uh if you look at this particular expression uh, under a microscope its uh, a renders. the bedroom, um, of course, is the whole renders dina's drive. perfect, right, could buy from us,
2:14 pm
which gave rise to an emotional reaction. but you know, on the type, the vice speaker of the can this it and a member of the ruling policy does not do justice to disclose it. we've called about tory, he's the loving stuff of israel, and yes, she has the features bible and it's on you all should condemn what he says and any other expressions, such as those perhaps which i know doesn't want to. some people treat a girl because uh, as we know, it behaves the issue a warrant for him. um, on similar charges, but down you should uh, rest assured that the majority of these relatives do not 12. so give use. yes, there are free induced. and those fringes of sometimes seeing for but missing, but to read is not someone who represents israel. all these rarely spirit,
2:15 pm
wavy and deputies. speakers, comments have any impact you think on the international perception of israel as policies towards palestinians because it is an eye opening remark, whatever the background on when it is somebody who's quite high up in the can nasa . it's saying that the despite his background, it does make waves as well if it makes um, even small waves. uh, we should change the, the ocean wherever i makes waves because it's uh despicable but nevertheless. um. but dory has no uh, way to maybe he uh, expresses the views of a certain segment of drugs society. he doesn't have any impact on policy. and these really defense forces are at least trying and even disagree and the disagreement or policy all for trying to separate the innocent from the
2:16 pm
intended victims the how much terrorist doesn't, doesn't always succeed a, for there are thousands of innocent casualties obviously, but it is not the intention of the uniform of the soldiers and officers to bring it about, they know that this is morally wrong and they know that even practically is going to help israel and even themselves when they go abroad. so there is no such policy . there is no book to read doctrine. how solid is the truth as it stands because we've, we've seen things like this happen on these really side. then on the come off side, we have the spectacle of the, of the coffins of the, of the babies and their mother. you know, for propaganda purposes i suppose. so it all seems quite tenuous, right? know how much of
2:17 pm
a powder keg situation you could this blow up in terms of the cease fire. you know, it will not have any impact on the ceasefire, but regarding what you just said, yes, there are many, many uncalled for casualties. however, on the bus side is intentional on these rarely side, it is extra dental to many accidents to many of the casual expressions we shouldn't have been made. but the keep happening. don't say more and more on it. it is people in, in power. i know you say that the background of the people has to be taken into consideration, but they're still given opposition in government and there are others who have said similar things. indeed, the, the crunch perpetrated by hum us gave rise to such a way she needs wrote. and once again, when the be by the babies where i found out to have been brutally
2:18 pm
merited. not simply killed during the battle, but now that by the capt. those, obviously the was a human reaction which may sound unfortunate, but one can understand it. however, this does not mean that the calls for vengeance even bind it's on going so are be translated into policy. very interesting, thanks as always for coming on the program and sharing your views with as mr. m. you are in defense on government calling this up the how it reads daily. we appreciate your time. a waiting for free speech. that's how a prominent canadian journalist, an activist eve engler, describes his, released from a month for the old jail where he had been incarcerated on charges of apartment. empty is really hard to spend on social media. and mr. engler had voluntarily turn themselves in the night. seeing what he states are politically motivated,
2:19 pm
charges leveled against them. these were his final words before entering police custom. this is obviously an attack against freedom of expression. but really what it is, is a use of, of the policing and legal system to target someone that opposes the king, governments complicity in a genocidal rampage by israel. that's left at least a 100000 people debt to the same guys that destroyed most buildings destroyed. most agricultural labs, even it is, you'll stop tomorrow. uh people will be dying for years and years because of all the unexploded ordnance, because of all the chemical pollutants the best. this. all the other things that they will get released into the, the toxic environment that these guys us. mr. anchor who was released after spending a number of days behind bars is a long time opponent. top is really policies on the campaign or for palestinian rights history. porters have called repeatedly asked for his release while he was
2:20 pm
in jail. i tried the thing gathered outside montreal. cortez waiting for the writers, released both across side, down into the canadian journalist and activist himself eve engler. thank you so much for your time and can you give us 1st the, perhaps the specific criticisms you made that triggered the police action on the events that transpired then? yeah, i am so responded to this arch and type palestinian design is influence or dahlia kurtz. dozens of times on x on twitter, and uh, uh, like i responded all kinds of other and i take honesty, individuals and x, and the police. she went to the police sometime in the summer. the police opened up an investigation. they decided didn't warrant moving forward. a prominent law firm, i sent them the letter back in her case. so they reopened the investigation and
2:21 pm
they decided to pursue me for a harassing this prominent as i posted in. she never even blocked me, and ex, i've never, uh, talked to her, never met her, never messaged her directly. anything like that, never threatened her. and uh, and they called me to please call me to say they were going to charge me for harassing this. and i tossed in figure, which was, you know, obviously odious. but they also said they were going to bring in a condition saying i couldn't discuss the fact that they were charging me for criticizing israel essentially. and i immediately went public with this. the police got very angry because i went public and they received a few 1000 emails, critical of the charges and the conditions they were putting on me. so the police response was to then say i was racing the police, and they put 4 or 4 more charges against me for again, as an officer, as
2:22 pm
a well known of you know, commentator just writing about the police had done. 2 on behalf of this um and the positive is wiser and uh, and then so the police, i went to the, as you mentioned, i went to the court house or do a detention center. they processed me, they couldn't release me right away. instead, they tried to bring this condition to basically say, i couldn't discuss the case against me and effectively they helped me in jail for 5 days until i could get before a judge to have this condition effectively removed. the judge said no, obviously this infringes on your freedom of expression. and so i won the case, but i might not have this condition, but i had to go to jail for 5 days to not have this condition. 1 controlling my ability to discuss this designers influence or, and discuss the charges that had been brought against me. your, your case caught the attention of many as you save thousands writing in support of
2:23 pm
thought. i would submit that maybe there were lots of people who don't necessarily agree with all that you say, but they are against the, the crushing as they would see it a free speech. so your case, it was almost like, you know, i copy paste of that happening in canada, which seems to have been going done this, this slippery slope for, for some time. it's not a for a point that there, there would be many people who don't necessarily support you in this. ready but they, they see the wider picture here. so certainly, i mean, many people have commented, just reading a post. i'm gonna say, i disagree with you 95 percent of the time politically, but i disagree with the police. and this davia hurts using the court system to, to target your ability to do. right. so there's no doubt on the about a week before i was arrested, i participated alongside a lawyer from the bc civil liberties association in
2:24 pm
a panel on the new mccarthyism in canada. which was basically about a new role examples, dozens and dozens of individuals who have been suppressed in one way or another over the past 16 months because of their criticism of the canadian complicity of israel's crimes. and. a as all these different cases, some you know, worse than mine where people's houses are rated by the police. there's the worst case probably as the savvy do a policy and present political prisoners network. charlotte case, uh, the list of this group is a terrorist organization. it's a grass roots palestinian, a prisoner solidarity group, and the king got me and put him on that list of terrorist organizations to effectively band the organization. they rated my bank of a police mater house. so there's all these cases across the country and that does not know change with the end of the to the administrator or is it so ingrained over
2:25 pm
years that that, that nothing will alter at when a new administration comes in. and i think things could alter. i think that the conservative, susan, likely winters of the potential winters are next selection. they claim to be about free speech, but it's really in israel exception, particularly for them. so they might have a broader sense of free speech when it comes to the truck or is issue here, the covet issue, maybe even on the, on ukraine and, and natal proxy war. uh, but they very much are, you know, i don't believe in free speech when, when it comes to, uh, israel and actually the, the law firm that supported design is invoice or is uh, is this an individual named uh, deal oberman who was actually a conservative candidate in the upcoming election, he's the one basically back in here and why the police move forward with this? so i, yes is, i would say it's ingrained in the canadian political culture. of,
2:26 pm
of both in terms of design is the exception of the israel exception to free speech . and then a more general hostility to, to dissent that i think is a, is of course, a very unhealthy. and just on your own case, then you, you say you're released on, on failure, free. no, i, but there are other charges arthur being leveled against you. i believe i am. is it harassment of, of police and obstruction? is what they're claiming. and are you, are you fearful that your libertine might not be for a long as well? my expectation is we're all gets rolled out. i actually expected the crown not even to move it to the, to the court because it's also silly when she started looking at it. but now the. 8 the crowd pushed the conditions so hard. i suspect they are going to least take it to court. yeah, i think it's possible it's, i mean, i wouldn't have thought i would go to find the end up in jail for 5 days to,
2:27 pm
to fight a condition about being able to, you know, write about being charged for criticizing israel. and what, what i thought, at least aspect of this, the police basically they, they, they just, they got angry when i responded to their array discharges by, by, uh, uh, saying i'm now harassing the police. i mean, they're the idea that i'm harassing a police inspector who i've never met, don't even know their 1st name and, and just because i wrote about it and because thousands of people emailed complaining about the charges against me, the idea that i'm now correct harassing the montreal police is, is, is comical, but the, but the other thing is that even, you know, i spent 5 days in jail already. so we're assuming if i was found guilty of these fairly in consequential charges, i wouldn't even get 5 days of, of uh, you know, a jail term. but who knows, you know, when you introduce being in the jail system, is it, it's very uh, you know, you have no control and you said they just keep you in there and they can kind of
2:28 pm
keep you in there. i know they have these conditions against me. i am not planning on violating, but they can claim that maybe i was violating some condition of other conditions they, they brought against me. so you know, who knows where this goes. clearly the israel lobby doesn't like me. the metro police has gone along with their uh, targeting of me. um, but i, but i would prefer hope and a has so far what i've seen is who, oh, poor in the support. i mean many, many thousands in writing letters of support. a 100 plus people that the court yesterday clear the judge was impacted by the number of people that impact the court room. so i'm, i'm, you know, hopeful that i can go back and asking political questions. what it is, the situation will be close the following here. thank you for coming into program on, on giving us your 1st time to kind of what you've been going through. can you be internally as an active, as eve angler live in r t? thank you. now ukraine isn't washington's only option in the search for
2:29 pm
rare earth minerals. russia has a true of them on president for lot number of puts and has offered to joint the develop the sector with international partners on the us under trump. to be a moment, a resume this layout, those metals are very important. they constitute key resources for more than the sectors of the economy. so far we have done little in this area and we need to do more. we would be ready to offer administrative resources for work in this direction to all american partners. when i say partners, i mean not only administrative and governmental structures, but also companies should they show interest in collaborating with us. we undoubtedly have significantly more resources of these kinds than ukraine. let me emphasize that. russia is one of the undisputed leaders in reserves of these are metals. these projects require substantial capital investment. we are happy to work
2:30 pm
collaboratively with any ford and fondness including americans, by the way, regarding the new territories, the same applies. we are ready to check for an audience to our so called new historical territories that have been returned to the russian federation. there are also certain reserves. they yeah, it was a relatively short interview, but lots came from it and on our team come we've got the full brick done of president hooton's. it'd be with the russian journalist there on the 3rd anniversary of the break of all of the ukraine context. well worth 15 minutes of your time. 12, if you'd like a deeper dive into any of her stories this hour and may i suggest r t dot com again as a sunlight jumping off point, always fresh content lively discussions to get engaged with her as well to buy the .
