welcome to asia. the heart of the continent beats here. in the middle east, everything is louder, canada. the center of military operations is now in southern lebanon. israel is waging an intensive missile and air campaign against hezbollah, a shiite military-political organization that is considered closely linked to iran. it shells northern israel in solidarity with palestine. hezbollah, or the party

of allah, is a cross between a political party, a non-governmental organization, and an armed group. it is one of the most famous radical islamic groups in the middle east. the movement was formed in 1982 by radical shiite preachers during lebanon's fifteen-year civil war. since then,... hezbollah considers israelis and americans to be its main enemies, and has carried out raids against israeli civilians and military facilities, but does not often resort to the services of suicide bombers. in 1985 , the movement issued its first political manifesto, in which it outlined the goal of de-occupying southern lebanon and palestine, destroying israel and ridding the entire middle east of western influence. in ilivaniya.

the movement's supporters plan to create an islamic state based on the iranian model, by the way, their ideology is based not only on the koran, but also on the works of the leader of the iranian islamic revolution, khameini, and tehran remains the movement's main ally abroad and provides it with financial, logistical and other assistance. in 1994, hezbollah carried out explosions in the jewish cultural center of buenos aires and the israeli embassy in london. in 2006 , the militants' escalation led to another israeli invasion of lebanon, but in addition to the militant wing , hezbollah has a political party, which has been present in public life since the early 1990s. in 1992, members of the movement participated in elections for the first time and were elected to the lebanese parliament under the leadership of hassan nasrallah, who called for more active involvement into politics. he leads the movement today. in regions with a shiite majority , hezbollah feels like a state within

a state. the organization controls areas of beirut and the eastern part of the biqa valley, as well as the shiite territories of southern lebanon. the movement is engaged in social programs, maintains hospitals and educational institutions, finances charitable organizations, hezbollah is even affiliated with the beirut football club al-aaht, the movement is considered the largest non-state armed group in world. the versatility of hezbollah is a rather unique phenomenon. with the end of the civil war, it so happened that. hezbollah was in fact the only one that managed to keep this armed wing of its own, then this was conditioned by questions of the country's security, because somehow the south of the country was occupied by israel, in

general, everything was enough, well, the majority of the population supported this activity in the south for the liberation of the territory. it is impossible to separate the party and the paramilitary wing, and besides, it is also such a big corporation, yes, which generally provides a lot of services to the population, while demanding some loyalty in return. for 30 years, hezbollah has been drawn into lebanese politics without giving up its military component. they decided in... 992 to take part in the elections, and this was quite a difficult decision, because in doing so they sort of legitimized this system, where there, which was established after french colonialism, throughout the nineties

, in general, they were not very interested in some government posts and so on, that is, they were satisfied with their participation in parliament, in the 2000s... and such an important turning point was the departure of syrian troops, they decided to participate in ministerial posts, that is, there was already more of a, well, let's say, perverted policy in terms of participation, that is, there were periods when different forces simply competed in the mass of demonstrations, then hezbollah learned to use the weaknesses of the system very actively, and a series, if its ministers leave the government, then the government is no longer valid and a new one has to be chosen, 2008, when hezbollah first turned its weapons against the government's actions, they tried

to shut down its telecommunications network, basically armed people just came and said that this shouldn't be done, then, of course, it caused such a response that how could it be? it turns out that these weapons can be directed inward, and 2013, when it already admitted that it was participating in the war on syrian territory, then , in general, it became clear to many that this more than just a national lebanese group, yes, it is a group that has some other international goals, turning hezbollah into an international one...

and, as far as we know, it has been preparing for this, that is, it has made large stockpiles of missiles, rockets and the like, precisely with the expectation that part of it, well, all of this will be destroyed, there will be losses and so on and so forth. hezbollah's opponents, especially in the west and in the gulf monarchies, want to see it exclusively as an agent of iran, but the situation is more complicated, such strategic allied relations, well... not on equal terms, because iran provides material,

logistical, some other support, for the main tasks, provides the party, but at the same time, here there is no such, well , let's say, subordination in terms of an order , he ordered, he carried out, that is, hezbollah still has its own national interests, interests in general. restraint, sounding both from the un and from western countries, promises to fight until victory. and what is

victory? hezbollah began its own actions in support, it turns out, of the palestinians in the gaza strip, because they tie the end of their, that is, military actions, well, to the conclusion of at least a permanent truce in the gaza strip, and while there is no truce, that is, there is no truce, their main task is to continue, roughly speaking, to shell the northern regions of israel, so ...

in my opinion, and there the same hezbal leader has repeatedly stated that we, roughly speaking, are ready, well, to suffer any losses, but this, well, that is, this is to continue supporting the palestinians, with a victory in any case, hezbollah will be preserved, that is, if at least some part of the organization remains, it will have the opportunity to continue to operate there, then a... then this will be its victory in general, as was the case in 2006 during the second

lebanon-israel war. that is, it is very difficult to set a goal for israel first of all. for hezbollah it is a little easier, but because it will be like defending itself. that is, but nevertheless for it this is well, like, and for lebanon as... any war with israel will be in general devastating and i don't know fatal or something, because - in lebanon now there is a very difficult economic situation in the energy sector and in general there is no positive solution here, that is, everyone, everyone, start a war and do not start a war, both both options. not very. the main goal of the first lebanon

war was the liquidation of the bases of the palestinian militants of yasser arafat. they controlled the south of lebanon and part of beirut, and such north of israel. the operation was called "peace of galilee". in june of eighty-second, the israeli army entered lebanon. the reason was an attempt by palestinian terrorists to kill the israeli ambassador in london, the next day the bombing of cities in southern lebanon and refugee camps began, followed by a ground operation. at the end of july, the israeli army began a siege of western beirut, where the headquarters of the palestine liberation organization (plo) was located. on august 18 , an agreement was reached with the mediation of us special envoy philip habib. arafat's fighters left beirut, and israel did not occupy

the lebanese capital. on september 1, about 10 thousand palestinian militants led by yazer arafat evacuated to tunisia. formally, the first lebanon war ended, but israel created a security zone in southern lebanon, which it controlled until 2000 together with the south lebanon army. after the israelis left, this territory was immediately occupied by hezbollah militants, and the south lebanon army fighters who did not have time to flee to israel were arrested and put on trial. may 25 is considered liberation day in lebanon. parts of the country on june 25, 2006, on the border with gaza, as a result of a palestinian attack on a post the israeli army in the area of ​​kibbutz kirem sholom, two soldiers were killed and israeli corporal gilad shalit was kidnapped. to free him, israel launched operation summer rains, which lasted several months, but shalit was released only in 2011, in

exchange for a thousand palestinian prisoners. in parallel with the operation in gaza , the second lebanon war began in july 2006. hezbollah militants attacked an israeli patrol on the border and captured the bodies of two soldiers. this was an attempt to repeat the kidnapping of a soldier, as was the case with gelat shalit. in response, israel began military operation "worthy of vengeance". not only hezbollah facilities from which northern israel was shelled were subjected to strikes, but also the entire infrastructure of lebanon, including residential areas of beirut. 34 days later, the israeli army reached the litani river and ceased hostilities. the military claimed that hundreds of hezbollah militants were killed, but the organization itself admits to losing only 250 fighters. israel , according to official data, lost more than 100 soldiers, but the main losses were economic. the damage from israeli bombings

amounted to more than $2.5 billion, but the shelling hezbollah inflicted comparable damage on israel. a quarter of industrial enterprises, hotels, and trade establishments were hit by their attack. according to the security council resolution, israel left southern lebanon. hezbollah was not supposed to appear south of the littani river, but it is obvious that it is violating this agreement. the ground operation is, in principle, to a certain extent beneficial for hezbollah, that is, in terms of military operations. of course, from a political point of view , khazbavata is also not particularly interested in a strong development of the conflict, that is, it will be losses, that is, if it is the death of the civilian population, which is the electorate of the same hazbala, but again not achieving the main goal, that is, a ceasefire in the gaza strip, it will not back down from this, in my opinion, in this case israel, again, sooner or later

, in my opinion, will be forced to go on a ground operation for the reason that well, no, this will not work out for... mass flows of refugees, primarily to europe, and there is already such an overflow that the political system is bursting at the seams. in the elections in brandenburg last weekend, the social democrats barely snatched first place from the far right, saved themselves from a complete embarrassment, but the alternative for germany received the highest result historically. the main

reason is the migration issue. alexandra popova from europe. protests of local residents, like here at the border crossing of the frankfurt murderer, people are unhappy with the checks at the internal european borders. it looks like this

will be the end of schengen, this is very annoying for people in slubice. those who come to frankfurt every day. there are now traffic jams on the streets, especially on weekends. this is a problem. the schengen agreement on open borders is one of the pillars of the european union. it ensures unhindered movement of goods and people. angela merkel insisted on opening the borders for refugees, and now olaf scholz is forced to introduce border checks in response to anti-migrant sentiment. i believe that there is no point in closing the borders, this should be a common policy of the european union. we should not fight migration itself, but the reasons. why people flee their country. we should stop interfering in domestic politics these countries and stop robbing developing countries. heiser fled. haider studied the language and waited for documents, but never got them,

he failed to legalize himself in western europe, he received citizenship in poland. i am a pole, and a happy pole, poland gave me everything, i do not regret that i finally settled here, i highly appreciate what poland gave me. haider would have waited for documents, if not for love, he got married.

for tightening the policy towards migrants, the government not only closed internal borders, but also actively took up deportation of those who failed to obtain asylum, now such migrants are fleeing germany, ahmed has already reached france and is on his way to great britain via lomanche. i am still looking for a place to settle down, if this deportation continues in germany, then all the refugees from there will flee to great britain. so far , traffic jams are only being checked in one direction at the polish-german border.

a dialogue from the novel by the austrian classic robert musel, as if about the world establishment today. this sunday, by the way, there are parliamentary elections in austria. the polls show the far-right freedom party in the lead, taking the toughest positions on migration and asylum. in france and the netherlands , they have learned to adjust the will of the people. let's see how it is in the alpine republic. this was an international review. see you.

and as for the special military operation, it is connected with the protection of the russian-speaking population in lugansk, donbass , and crimea. thank you for inviting me to this

program, for me this is a chance to feel. soldier, how to light a spark in the heart, but also lights in the eyes, whoever is scared is defeated here, you can't do without a flint here, well, soldier, let's fly for all the money, i asked you not to touch anything, i know, someday yes...
