this is russia 24 and we continue to report on the main events of today. we begin with the situation in the middle east. israel continues to strike lebanon. as a result of new attacks from sahal, over 30 people were killed. almost 200 were wounded. earlier, hezbollah confirmed the death of its secretary general hassan nasrullah. his cousin may replace him in this position. hashem sofi addin. he is called a key figure, one of the few who did not come to the meeting of the shiite leadership. israel dropped over 80 bombs on the area where it was held, each weighing a ton. on the aftermath of the strike

denis davidov and sergey pashkov. it is difficult not to cry from such news to the presenter. lebanese television reports that hazbala has confirmed the death of its leader, hassan nasrallah. his eminence, the head of the resistance, the righteous servant has passed away. we express our condolences and congratulations to his fellow martyrs who joined his pure holy procession after the treacherous. israel struck the underground headquarters of the organization, along with the leader, his daughter and several were killed commanders. hezbollah did not issue an official confirmation of his death for almost a day. he

took over the organization in 1992 after the israelis killed the previous leader. in 32 years, nasrallah turned hezbollah into a powerful fighting force. i think israel made a big mistake. this is a murder, a benefit for hezbollah, not for israel. we are talking about a national movement in which dying as a martyr is one of the most important elements of personal victory. the death of hassan nasrallah will give impetus to this movement. after the news of women mourned their leader's death, men took to the streets with hisbola flags. the organization is currently deciding who will be its new leader. the question is complicated: israel has killed many first echelon commanders in recent days. kashim safiaddin, nasrola's cousin, is at the top of the list of candidates to replace him. safiaddin resembles nasrola in many ways, including his appearance and manner of speech.

for years, he was groomed to lead the party. having decapitated hezbollah, israel did not stop. even after the bunker busters exploded, the southern outskirts of beirut were fired at with missiles. 12 hours of continuous strikes. israel carried out massive strikes on the southern districts of beirut, they

struck from the sea, from the air. local residents were told to leave their homes, but they did not specify where to go. so people grabbed their children. a cargo plane was flying with aid. israel decided that there might be weapons on board and said that it would strike the beirut airport if the transport plane landed there, the plane was turned back to iran. denis davidov, timofey mukhin and andrey ivanov, news from lebanon. these falling dominoes with portraits liquidated militant leaders, a propaganda video with a remark in forsi arabic. to be continued, was posted online by the press service of the israeli.

bombs that the idf air force launched at beirut's southern dahya district at 18:30 on friday left no one at the epicenter with a chance to survive. according to army intelligence. this should be crystal clear, there are still tools, and the message is simple, anyone who threatens israeli citizens must understand that we will find a way to get to them. throughout last night, israel struck strikes on the sheit neighborhoods of the lebanese capital, the day before the idf had already suggested that local residents leave these areas to get away from the affected area. at this time, the iaf continues to attack hezbollah targets in lebanon in order to undermine its military potential, which threatens the citizens of the state of israel. in anticipation of hezbollah's retaliatory strikes, the home front command has tightened security instructions for residents

of the border regions with lebanon. in tel aviv, public bomb shelters have been opened, limiting mass events. late in the evening, signals air raid sirens were already sounding over israeli cities and towns in upper galilee. hezbollah missilemen were trying to hit northern israel, in the city of safed, a residential building was hit, the residents of which had managed to take shelter in advance. by saturday evening, a new wave of shelling began. sirens warning of a rocket attack were sounding in madi'in. in the cities bordering lebanon, the batteries of the iron dome and the more powerful hetz were reinforced. the sky is most carefully guarded. haifa. the largest city in the israeli north. haifa is not only bahai gardens, but it is the country's largest port of entry to the storage facility, oil terminals, a large number of chemical plants in the suburbs and all this makes the city vulnerable,

makes it a desirable target for hezbollah missilemen. prime minister benjamin netanya, who returned early from new york, convened an emergency meeting of the sahal high command, a strike. on beirut, their consequences could draw iran into a military conflict, which has so far avoided it. israeli merkov tanks have already been pulled to the borders and are ready to immediately carry out the order to begin ground invasion, which may come in the very near future. sergey pashkov, alexander ivanyuk, anastasia demyanets, vesti: israel. moscow condemned the political assassination of sheikh nasrul, he led hezbollah for 32 years. he led the movement after the idf killed the previous leader abbas al-musawi in 1992. varane is threatened with retaliation, and reactions in the world boris ivanin. residents of beirut

do not give up, having gathered near a huge crater, at the site of the death of the leader of hezbollah , they glorify him, although many, of course, mourn. hassan nasrul was essentially one of them. under him, hezbollah. significantly strengthened its role in the middle east, he coordinated attacks on terrorists in syria and negotiated with israel on the terms of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange, and the complete withdrawal of israeli troops from lebanon in 2000 is considered hassan nasrullah's main achievement as secretary general of the movement. the attack was carried out by fighter jets of the israeli air force. the strike primarily hit densely populated areas of the lebanese capital. hezbollah's headquarters were located underground, with residential buildings on the surface, there were. the number of victims and the number of wounded civilians is growing rapidly. the strikes on beirut are truly an unprecedented attack, even reporters from the american cnn admit. these were some of the most powerful explosions i have ever witnessed, and colleagues who

have been covering events in lebanon for many years say they do not remember such strikes on beirut. more than 80 bombs were dropped on the lebanese capital in just a few minutes, writes new york. citing anonymous us officials, they did not specify, but apparently, israel used american guided 2.0 pound bombs, but white house chief joe biden, barely landing on the strap at the delover military base, hastened to deny everything. i can tell you that the united states did not know or participate in the actions of the israel defense forces. we are still gathering information. you said that you support israel's decision to defend itself, do you approve of these strikes on beirut? i do not know enough what. to answer this question, however, this did not prevent the white house from later releasing a statement from joe biden, in which he effectively approves of the murder hassan nasrulli, calling him a terrorist, and hypocritically says that washington's goal is de-escalation in the middle east, quote, diplomatic methods, but why then are shells flying at beirut, the russian foreign ministry,

on the contrary, resolutely condemned the murder of the hezbollah leader. this is not the first political murder, remember ismail haniyeh, who was killed. in the capital of iran, where he participated in the funeral ceremony of the former president of the islamic republic of iran, this is not easy.

iran is also in mourning for five days in tehran, a spontaneous memorial event, at the same time supreme leader of the islamic republic ayatollah ali khaminieh has been moved to a secure location with tighter security, sources told reuters, and from there he issued a damning statement to the israeli authorities. they have not learned and failed to understand in a year of criminal war in gaza that mass murder of women, children and civilians cannot affect and destroy the solid structure of the resistance organization. now they are trying to implement the same stupid policy in lebanon, but they must know that they are too insignificant to cause harm. significant damage to hezbollah in lebanon. all the resistance forces in the region are with hezbollah and support it. meanwhile, the israeli army publishes portraits of hezbollah military commanders with the caption eliminated. the strike on the movement's headquarters in beirut was carried out when, according to intelligence, the movement's entire top command had gathered there. the jerusalem post newspaper adds that the daughter of hezbollah leader zeinab nasrul could have been killed,

but even more than a thousand civilian casualties do not stop israel. to our enemies, i say, we are strong and determined, to our partners, i would say, our war is your war, to the people of lebanon i say that our war is not with you, it is time for a change. now we are talking about a possible ground operation on the border with lebanon, a large concentration of israeli tanks. meanwhile, the press is already discussing the candidacy of a successor. with regard to russia, the goal of inflicting a strategic defeat on it has been declared, almost as

london and washington planned in may 1945, developing, even before the end of world war ii, an operation called the unthinkable to destroy the soviet union. at that time it was kept in the strictest confidence, but the current anglo-saxon strategies do not hide their plans, although they are still counting on defeating russia with the hands of the illegitimate neo-nazi kiev regime, but they are already preparing europe to throw itself into a suicidal adventure. i will not talk here about the senselessness of the danger of the very idea of ​​trying to fight to victory with a nuclear power, which is russia. the russian army struck the military airfields of the armed forces of ukraine with hypersonic kyunzhal missiles and drones. all targets were hit. our unit is successful.

pishawr, the capital of khyber pakhtunkhwa province. the embassy cannot confirm the information about the death of the russians at the moment. we are in contact with a representative of pankh in pakistan. he is expected to arrive in peshawr tomorrow morning, where he will conduct identification. after that , we plan to get more clarity. britain was going to conduct a military operation against

the netherlands. boris johnson spoke about this in his memoirs. an excerpt was published by the daily. the former prime minister said that during pandemic at a dutch plant , 5 million doses of the vaccine ordered by london were delayed, and johnson demanded that the military develop a detailed plan to seize the drugs with the help of special forces, they were even going to want hostages, but in the end the prime ministers were convinced that london would not be able to carry out such an operation unnoticed, and it would be difficult for johnson to explain the attack on a nato ally. the head of the european commission. found herself at the center of an unpleasant scandal, she was caught spending brussels' money on the services of consultants who do not really work, but receive large salaries. naturally, there was corruption, our european correspondent regina sebastianova looked into the details. another gate in brussels. ursula vonderijn paid 150,000

euros of budgetary funds to a german professor of medieval history for six months of consultation on agriculture. schneider was hired personally by the head of the european commission to prepare a report on the settlement of the situation with farmers who were holding protests throughout the eu. the professor had previously provided similar services to the german government, only berlin paid 30 euros per meeting. it has now emerged that the professors' appointment in brussels was approved in march, while the strategic dialogue between european bureaucrats and farmers began in january, but representatives of the european commission consider this an unimportant detail. what we do know for sure: on march 5, there was a clear decision on the level of payment for the professor's services and on the number of working days in which the professor can complete the assigned task, whether he started working in february or a day later is not so important. there is a maximum number days that will be paid, he had to fulfill the set goal, as you know, in september he submitted a report. the representative

of the european commission did not answer whether the candidate of the college was approved, as required by the charter and... was there a competition for the position? the question did not arise by chance: simultaneously with the position of consultant on agricultural issues, the president of the european commission created the post of eu special representative for small and medium-sized business with a salary of 17,000 euros per month, for which she tried to single-handedly appoint german mp markus pipper, but pipergate failed, four eu commissioners, including heavyweights josep barel and terry briton, have publicly raised questions about the transparency and impartiality of the process, and anti-corruption organizations, including the european transparency international, have demanded that the appointment be rescinded and an investigation launched into possible violations. markus pieper is from the same party as the commission president, which may therefore raise questions about whether he was appointed to the post because of his affiliation with the same political party. also reportedly scored the lowest

of all candidates in the european commission test. we therefore believe that this is contrary to the. basic principle of appointing senior commission officials. this is perhaps the only known case where ursula fonderlein had to comply. if pipper's appointment did not take place, then the same pfizergate, the president of the european commission is still successfully ignoring. in the midst of the covid pandemic, urslo fonderline, without a negotiating team , concluded an agreement with a personal friend, fizer ceo albert gurla , that the eu would buy nearly 2 billion doses of the vaccine. details of the contract were never made public and the posts were deleted. the eu ombudsman called it mismanagement. the court of auditors said it was against eu rules. the european public prosecutor's office is continuing its own investigation, but the european commission president has yet to comment. the european commission president has earned himself a reputation in brussels for making unilateral decisions,

going beyond his official duties. duties, excluding other eu leaders from the decision-making process. and communicating only with the highland councilors, as a result of which she was nicknamed queen ursula in brussels. the head of the european commission demonstrates her management style in everything. this week, the eu sent an international conference on the berlin convention on the protection of the environment a proposal to downgrade the protection status of wolves from strictly protected animals to protected ones, that is, to allow shooting. the media call this ursula fondern's personal revenge. two years ago, predators mauled her beloved prize pony, thirty-year-old dolly.

european capitals accused the head of the european commission of taking away their powers, she eliminated all her critics, formed a structure where european commissioners are forced to get approval not only from each other, but from a group of closest advisers, personally to the chairman, the media openly talk about the seizure...

and the same minutes. lokomotiv, driven by the stands , tried to crush spartak as early as possible, so samoshnikov's goal from pinyaev's pass looked quite logical. the team played with heart today, this is such a spiritual victory, because the energy of the stands, eh, so to speak, spurred on, yes, but you saw the eyes of the guys who fought so desperately. a little later, referee bezborodov quickly decided to award a penalty in favor of spartak, although even on the replay it is not so easy to see the contact. he stood with the ball for a long time. galda, but barka scored again from the spot. spartak equalizes in the fifteenth minute, all this is partly similar to the last round, where spartak played with dynamo. the only difference is that

against dynamo, barka put the red-whites ahead in the score, and here already in the first half then samoshnikov scored again. for the defender of moscow lokomotiv ilya samoshnikov - this is perhaps one of the best matches in his career, at least for now, because a few years ago he played in the amateur football league, now he scores twice against moscow spartak, although now his position is an attacking midfielder or even a winger. he plays freely now, since the whole team does not have such, you know, as a burden of responsibility, that someone is putting pressure on him, and there are game requirements, yes, of course, when it needs to be done in certain zones, what needs to be done in defense, what in attack. in the second half, loka added even more and... dmitry vorobyov doubled the lead with a long-range shot, albeit not without the help of a ricochet, the ricochet helped, so to speak, but the most important thing is that the ball flew in and calmed

the game down a little, so to speak, we were getting ready for this game, today the whole team is just absolutely everyone - great guys fought to the end, and so we won, just a super atmosphere, thanks to every fan who came to this match, we hope that every match will be like this, 3:1, lokomotiv's victory over spartak, daniel. there are many children's cards, but the most profitable one is a free children's card from alfabank, with it children receive up to 7,000 rubles. cashback for purchases and money in games. not childishly profitable. alfa. profitable at the megamarket discount season, millions of products at favorable prices, buy a women's autumn jacket for 1,399 rubles. megamarket! 7 days fly by unnoticed,
