the, the secretary and the violence rig nights in syria, as dozens are reportedly killed in questions between as long as and the, all the white minority linked to i was through the president assad war is peace to us, the plain coming from brussels, where hawkish you officials, have agreed to massively miller's arise and that keeps the plan complex, going in defiance of donald trump's efforts to bring teeth to europe and me as the city. if you are not at the table, you are on the menu and that is something we should avoid. it's $84.00, vacating,

at least according to the built in prime minister. and he is apparently not the only one who wants to use the bigger powers to do the heavy lifting. the i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. you're watching our t international, sectarian violence has a rough to it on the syrian coast that's home to the arab countries. all the white minority, dozens of people have reported. they've been killed in classes between as long as government troops and remnants of the saw the military in the logic here province. the, the artillery stops there. lighting up the night sky of our northwestern syria, damascus has ordered reinforcements to rally to the area where

a curfew has been declared. the pro holloway militants have been told to surrender, or face dest. it's the worst flare up in the country since the collapse of the assad government in december comes as the country is the 2nd largest port city is seen a mass protest in support of the house. the president assad, demonstrators tend to quote, the previous government is as powerful as ever, per tooth is a strong hold for 30 years, all the way minority from which the assad dynasty also held a. here's what we heard about the developing situation from a lot. the cube base journalist, the h t. s military, a bombing, the villages and suburbs of la takia, the suburbs of jibley. the muslim l white council has called for a method of peaceful protest to condemn the attack on civilians and le whites reports that coming out that the people of 3 villages in that area by the airport are leaving that house is in a refugees. now they're leaving that house because of the bombing the clashes

a very close to the airport. the like terry and protests and classes have also been reported in several cities across syria, including homes. footage circulating online shows an attack on what is said to be in all the white house r. t correspondents. steve sweeney has been covering the unfolding crisis in the region. as we've seen, the syrian all me under the government of mohammed, giovanni has been re branded as ahmed. i'll shower a rushing to protect me. the coastal areas hoping to talk to you and talk to swear, protest as that was storming the government buildings. um, we see a statement from a new deformed organization, branding itself the syrian resistance, which is made up of remnants of the full my on forces under the previous president

bush or aside. now they have released a statement under the military council for the liberation of syria, and they have cooled, 4 people from across the country from the jews community. she at suny. i'm goods to unite in what they say as an attempt to overthrow the government of uh, um it all shadow and breaking something kind of stability and build this syria for older. was probus. when i was shot a, i will say the president bush aside, back in december. now those classes took place over nights as well. there was a curfew implemented by the syrian government headed by. i'll shut off this doesn't really come as much as it was of a surprise. the situation in syria has really been a tinderbox waiting to explode, that being a sewage attacked on the other. why can we just see in those coastal areas in the talk to you in talk to is also in hall news. now the government of, i'll shut off,

says that these are the former associates of the president bush. i'll assets and have radi support from across syria to try and put those uprisings down, but the out of warrants to say, well, they have been subjected to massacres. now we have heard some international reaction. the saudi foreign ministry released the statement condemning the uprising condemning the protest, pledging it support for so the syrian government situation in syria, a guy who was, i is incredible. you bought this house and i'll shut off to cobra in december, the country has pretty much being divided into 3 areas of consult in the north. the took the spark forces around the province in particular, the city and national army. then in the northeast, the city and democratic policies, the code, the forces forces which

a box by washington. now again, this situation has flared up that with this, between the city and that's what all mean to me and democratic forces. they've launched an offensive and that has to be boxed by turkey, which has been foaming some of those curtis areas. and then in the south of a series, of course the is right. these have they a big carrying out operations that it was seen as a line dropped by many a pools. soon after the full of a side, they took control of it. the minute tries a very close to the go down high sapient building. a number of minutes he buys it does, is a very real danger that the country is going to problems once more into a civil war. and of course, the free democratic and stable syria that we've been promised, well, perhaps, is not quite overseas. the, well, it seems that issues like recession energy prices and migrant crime are not the biggest priorities for most of the leaders. office officials in brussels have

instead agreed to boost the blogs military spending by an unprecedented 800000000000 euros over a perceived threat from russia. a therapy and council calls on the board of governors of the european investment bank d. i. b, to urgently continue to adapt the best practices for lending to the defense industry. notably by reevaluating the list of excluded activities, and by increasing the volume of available funding in the field of security and defense. but there are some voices of reason in the you, the hon, gary and prime minister is one of the most vocal opponents of militarization. that to our bond is instead of endorsing the american leaders push to bring peace to crane and all of europe. european commission revolved around president donald trump's peace plan. many european leaders, brussels bureaucrats, and heads of member states oppose the us administration's endeavors. they would rather continue the war as long as it takes hungry position,

remain the same today as it has for the past 3 years. we believe that there is no solution on the battlefield and support the us peace plan. meanwhile, it appears some smaller european powers are feeling left out. belgium, his prime minister says it's time to start fighting for a seat at the negotiating table or end up being the one served on it. but it's on the outside and i'm not going to elaborate on what a peace deal should look like. for me, the most important thing is to get a deal that ukraine also accepts and where europe is at the table. if you are not at the table, you are on the menu and that is something we should avoid. and that's why this european council and the next one is very important. if europe does not straighten its back now and find itself to that table, we will have to endure a world order in which we end up not taking the important decisions and having to endure them that starts with ukraine. but it won't tend to vastly filled our brussels rush to rally support to keep the war going after the us suspended it's

military age shipments and intelligent and sharing with ukraine. archie is assessed in taylor looked into how the long running fantasy of vanquishing russia has become . an obsession for some europeans, europe is grieving. one who can really play you much. i'll throw, let, have sought to ground tons. graciously feed is not a bad thing, because then, you know, there could be really a change in, in the, in the society and, and, you know, there are many different nations the right now part the russia as well. i think if you would have a more like small nations it's, it's not a bad thing. give you. if it's a big bower is actually much a smaller and our tv star showed up and stuff, but it will snatch this historic john stuff. finally, chromecast russia. they haven't been misplaced and suppose go to mine inside the kremlin,

back in the 1600s. i know it's not to say they haven't tried since the themes how to stop it. it didn't. the 1707. napoleon sets off for most of them in the 1800s, and then the bread scheme top would be americans, french canadians, in australia and the 1900s. then obviously that was hit law. so it's a pull track record for the europeans trying to hunt the back. but the, this time it will be different. it has to be because this time the states are higher than ever before. who is the agenda is not just about ukraine, this is absolutely clear that if you brain falls, there will be a 2nd target. and the 3rd one and the ends, the end central leasing. gentleman was not kid ourselves. who will not stop that ukraine? well, the story is all the me a piece and brussels have defy the odds and on not spacing rustic with even the nation. apparently most at risk of pollutants as the imminent raton, of the us,

us all campaign, doubting. well, it's in minutes. how concerned are you about the potential of an actual conventional russian invasion into the box? and so for now, we don't see the scenario happening as it so often the case fair has been pulled out to distract you see, it keeps the masses in line while behind close tools. the political bigwigs steam and plots and develop the profits. oh yes, sorry. the cats out the back ukraine is the boon to make the rich, even rich. of course, this increase in defense of europe is not separated. offer you print security and defense. it's from the pen defense. it's a forced to print in defense and this folder capacity for your brain defend that the defense is also very important to boost our own defense.

surprise was a racket new, but the likely in coming job and johnson. i so said this in february, it is out of the question in the near future that we will reform the debt break a we place a set this. germany in europe must quickly strengthen their defense capabilities a cd you c s u and s p d will submit a motion to amend the basic law so that defense spending above one percent of gdp is exempt from the debt break. in view of the threats to our freedom and peace, the following must now also apply to our defense. what ever it takes when aging, not just on a pledge, but only the nations are re constitution. which caps the amount of borrowing and can do to change that out. pay for a country already in the economic doldrums, thoughts, whiskey moves by lots. we can only guess what made him do that one. a 2,

sorry, 360 degree ton. maybe someone slipped him. the latest numbers from alms manufacture . ryan mitchell, whose don't have sold 99 percent this year. and i'm working in march in fox for the last 3 years won't across europe, the military industrial complex is badly had time to the castle. those checks they come in, sol split them fast. the super cycle is clearly accelerating. in the 2nd quarter of 2024 alone, our sales increased around 50 percent and are result more than doubled. positive margin effects are significantly increasing our profitability. we have never seen such growth. we also expect annual sales growth of around 2000000000 euros in the coming years. and things that was before a set of on demand came out with us almost one trillion a dollar gift. however payday the you of course has also got skin in the ukranian game, not to space instructors. it denies that you see

a few months before the roll started. brussel find its own minerals deal with kids . identifying that the nation has $21.00 of the 14 minerals it does the plates as critical. everything from fight to jets to cause brake pads. then of course that's b u. k. 2 ends of the car and need to ship has become a sort of honorary in. remember again, the funny story. he also signed a mineral deal with the landscape just a couple of days before trump took office. were united states our be trying to be signed up to a deal that we provide security guarantees to a reckon nomic development deal. the cure star has already signed them up to do so . the 1st thing it has to do is people have to take a step back and be honest with what's really going on. what's going on is that people are making a killing. tony, literally what's going on is that the cells are pointed all participle, reality, all gambling with in

a tie and generations of new praying in man. so they can get that hands on, lift him uncomfortable to be all that good stuff. because well, it's all just a bit of a game, isn't it? stop. yeah. so let me use the phone you the arms race presents us with entirely new challenges. and europe must take up this challenge, this arms race. and when it is for this one that was so much on the line that clamoring to be locked into the negotiating room. otherwise, how enough will they know whether to suit the defense stultz now late so they need to work. it has to have your p as in ukraine, the crane ends in europe and are the ones who need to swing by here in europe. so without this is a need to you wouldn't just move in any single. this is a faint glory show and simple. the war and ukraine has become a europe, lifeline on its greatest state gods without the people of power. so realized that

president bad the scrapes and approval rating of 25 percent without the people of berlin. what off? why the energy bills of 30 percent high as they used to be without to the people of london will out how that recall to me is badly breaking even know know, look at you crane. she have spiked by as time for leaders who should have left long ago. and it is a lot to wait for europe to try and resurrect its glory days. when it was a force to be reckoned with. a continent respect to the voice, listen to not just of a group of has beens been shown the door. i wish them luck. we got our political commentator and former us army officers. dennis love creative next as brussels appears to be trying to drag washington back into the war. i think they're on a, on a specific course, and that force is to wash their hands of the ukraine in

a direct manner. they don't want their boots on the ground, the europeans have their boots on the ground and are in a small scale with russia. they don't mind in a lease, and they're not going to do any other fighting or the europeans. on the other hand, to do everything they can't afford to us into a real point in uh you agree with these guarantees and keep the us troops there. but so when they escalate, the us has to get pulled in. so some type of war between the 2 parties, both want the war to continue, but in different forms. yes, we're going to be quite happy selling weapons payment 1st money, 1st weapons after to the european so they can, the, on the gradients. that's not going to change anything. so they're not, it's, it's, it's an interesting little, uh, talk award that's going on right now. well, donald trump has announced plans to visit the saudi arabia. it's for russia and ukraine are eventually expected to assign

a us mediated peace deal. the american president mentions the importance of such an agreement in helping to prevent a nuclear war. and i will say that we've made a lot of progress with ukraine and a lot of progress with russia over the last couple of days. and it'd be great to bring that to an end. so we don't have to talk that way. talk no class, be great if everybody would get rid of the nuclear weapons and we have a russia and set by far the most china will have an equal amount within 4 or 5 years. and it would be great and we could all digital arise because the power of nuclear weapons is crazy. what exactly it couldn't be referring to anything. well, i think they're going to finally sort out the mineral deal. and um, zalinski had sent him a letter a few days ago, basically, requesting say, hey, i'm ready for peace now. and of course, you know, russia has made it clear that they were willing to negotiate piece as well. they're

going to have a guideline or guide posts because they can't actually have the piece until, you know, russia agrees and has their needs want it, you know, met as well. so this is another step towards that progress. and hopefully it won't, you know, devolve into what happened in the, at the white house, but i don't think it well, and you have a lot of no mentions towards this. you also have the you backing off, you have my crone still trying to pretend he's napoleon but um, and we all know how that ended. but you know, he's very much a trump is very much talking about di, escalating nuclear weapons. they want to massively round up, defend, spend a, they want to send troops to ukraine, the it's holly and lead has even suggestive, extending nato is collective defense, close to k. s, and then stop sort of agreeing to put it's highly in boots on the ground. let's take a quick listen to what she said by the way, the best. what was you, what am i to? i think it would certainly be much more effective. one thing that differs from

joining nato, however, is to extend the same coverage that nato countries have to ukraine. so i think that would be a guarantee of stable law, staying effective security, more than some of the proposals that i'm seeing. and so it's certainly one of the proposals we are putting on the table here will be want to sort of as well. she's saying she's not going to put soldiers or boots on the ground. i think she's giving lip service to something that simply ludicrous. that's a weird cris idea to have ukraine protected by nato when it's not part of nato. i mean, you can't, it's not even viable. it's not a viable solution. the fact is, ukraine doesn't qualify. you know, 5 ways to sunday this been said, not only that, but russia has made it very, very clear that there should be no peacekeeping troops in ukraine by nato. that's the red line. and that, you know, the fact that the great britain, france, you, you, basically nato keeps trying to push back on. that is really short sighted felicia stressing down for your credit. coming from the us president,

special envoy. we can take a listen. so what would case a catalog have to say they brought on joan. see print drawing me might not click when we were in the oval office last week on friday. you know, you know, kind of give you the background a little bit, which is what we talked with presidents once getting for that meeting. there were 13 you a shot or said hey, and then we said ok, this is like stage management. this is what you want to say space was going to come in, we have this is precious metal. so you can assign the deal as you know, the sub lunch, every press conference that you stay dry. can you good to go? we continue to go. what happened became a very combat of who press conference. you don't negotiate police to discussions in public. you don't try to challenge the prism united states and the overall oversight. in fact, you need to sign with me and not to russians. well, let's face it. i mean, 1st and foremost, so lensky is not the legitimate president. he didn't hold us elections and he can't

hold his elections. he wouldn't win. so he's also not behaved in a way that really demonstrates that he wants peace. he's been trying to be very provocative with his political language to try to keep this war. you know, this proxy war against russia basically going this money laundry operation, if you will. so you are having a shift in the conversation regarding this position because trump has made it very clear this proxy war will end with or without zalinski. so he either will sign this piece agreement or they will have to move zalinski out of the way. and somehow get to the peace agreement, but either way, zalinski is done. he's been getting a lot of kickbacks and, and money from this situation. so here you have storm are making all these promises that will not be kept by the way and, and the crowd as well. and it's really interesting because they really are trying to keep the momentum going be even pledged. i think 83000000000 pounds,

i believe it was at that time, which is, you know, again, but it's nothing like what the u. s. was doing in terms of billions of dollars. the usa, it has cut off the us military. it has been either temporarily permanently cut off . it looks like it's pretty much cut off, so the spigot is closed. and i think the lensky is coming to the slow realization it's over. and how do they find an exit ramp? also here is done a lot of ag on this face and it's trying to figure out nato is trying to figure out a way out while preserving of perhaps there's, you know, collective dignity if you will. as a former irish member of european parliament has decried the use mass of military high commit all the problems on the home front of us. and the latest episode of going underground was an option for times the airing on saturday here on our team for now. here is a preview of his full conversation with clare, daily billions, being taken as a bunch of switch for, designed to deal with the crime occurring. this has been used on defense. so it's

a total for me. not only are we taking money away from work that could be drawn to deal with the environmental problems, they're going to defense, their carbon footprint of which is never tax calculations anywhere. so there's a huge price of the most of the cost of living prices all across europe and for ordinary citizens to hear that they can find a $100000000000.00 on weapons of destruction, to kill people and to have their own children be killed in the process there now the united states is telling britain, britain, which hosts thousands of us troops, all those us bases, all those weapons, just setting them do not share any intelligence with zalinski and ukraine. it's, it's so public, as it was, that the britain just has to obey what the united states does, but these are all, so they really are occupying groups and you are a totally, i mean a is it, this is the info here and something your opinion, leadership on the one hand,

their pricing talk and they're talking about minutes rising more and they're going to assemble your crane and all this. but at the same time, they are almost waiting for him out. the face of trump also, it supports tactic. what they should do is go and talk to russia themselves, develop an independent european foreign policy that benefits the people of europe and said, they've been subservient to us interests for so long now. it's almost that they can't break everybody's even when the us is in their face, making it obvious that they are subservient. uh, it's a, i think these are astounding times they are. so i was of torch is it is terrifying that these idiots are cause constitutes the leadership of the or the, the u. n. is sounding the alarm over israel is shut down of humanitarian aid to

gaza. the world bodies experts say the ongoing blockade is forcing field hospitals to scale back programs. the enclave is stationary, health care facilities have been ravaged by 15 months of war as a local journalist reports from the ground a part of the the j. so during the war, the is really army inflicted a devastating blow on gaza hospitals walking to come all at one hospital. we were amazed at the scale of the destruction in northern and gaza, which effected residential buildings, medical facilities and infrastructure. we entered the hospital, which had been burned inside. there were only fragments of patient beds and charred medical equipment. the wards for premature babies were destroyed. here, citizens recall only the images of the dead, extracted from mass graves and of the wounded who died without receiving treatment for any effort if we still bodies on the street dead people's children with severed limbs and no one could save them. we slept here for a long time,

staying next to the bodies of the dead. we couldn't even move them to the cemetery because leaving the hospital was forbidden, and so they remained there the composing without burial them. the fact that i could be there was a very intense bombardment by artillery shells on the last day is rarely soldiers entered, come all at one hospital. we were taken out of the house where i was staying with my uncle. they seized us and took us to the elbow. raleigh area must find out what is what is really forces did at come all at one hospital was repeated in other medical facilities that have turned into cemeteries. and since israel prohibits the import of cement and raw materials for reconstruction, the citizens of gauze are no longer have a choice, but to focus on setting up field hospitals, the construction of one of the largest field hospitals in us sariah square, has been completed on the cabin the palestinian red crescent field hospital is indeed a full fledged medical facility that includes many departments. most importantly, there is an intensive care unit with 8 beds and 6 incubators, as well as 2 operating rooms, especially after we meet them according to the palestinian health ministry field

hospitals and gaza. despite their importance are not a fundamental solution to the problem. as long as is real controls all aspects of medical care with the continuation of the severe blockade. the health care system will continue to face difficulties and providing the necessary care to patients among them more than 100000 were wounded as a result of the war. a quarter of home received injuries leading to disability to do more than one of the citizens of gaza are convinced that the destruction of the health care system and also during the war is a deliberate and carefully planned action in the north large hospitals that provided care to 650000 palestinians are disappearing. if you'd like to learn more about the stories we're covering here on our to international do visit our website . archie. com bye for now the

the, the, you mention all the sites area might tons of images for as far as barnes set. and of course, freezing temperatures. now, while you might have the wrong sort of any of those things today, we'll show you a different side to side barrier. one way ancient traditions leave cutting edge innovation. the the
