welcome to the program, let's start off with: miss krishna swami in st. petersburg, so uh uh the uh secretary of iran supreme national security council uh is urging the bricks group of emerging economies to help stop the israeli crimes against palestinians in the gaza strip. he's proposed the formation of a bricks committee to pursue a cease fire in gaza. give us your perspective on this stance by the iranian official. i think that bricks has lot of economic potential. i was just looking at the trade relation. relationship and just between israel and china um there are 5.3 billion dollars of exports um from israel to china so and if you add the other economies it is a significant economic power and so i think that if the bricks form a committee they can leverage that economic power in order to negotiate some kind of cefire and i think that is the idea but unfortunately not all countries have the same stance when it comes to israel, notably india has been more supportive of israel than the other bricks countries, so i think that will be the hardest party t

let's start off with miss krishna swami. uh, i want to get your thoughts on the recent comments uh, coming from iran's un envoy, mr. amir said, he says that uh, israel's nuclear arsenal poses a significant threat to regional and global peace and security, do you agree with that? absolutely, um, because unlike other countries, israel has maintained a policy of nuclear nuclear opacity, and so they don't officially declare the nukes, they don't tell us how many their... are they're not subject to any mod monitoring by international agencies and top of that um unlike india and china they don't have a policy of no first strike so no first strike policy is when a country says we will not be we will not use the nuclear weapons as a first strike only in retaliation so israel does not have any of those and because of this a don't know where they are how many they have and whether or not they're in a secure facility so um and we also... "now with increased belligerance by israeli officials, we don't know whether or not they are willin

thanks to uh my guest journalist and podcaster krishna swami uh joining us from st. petersburg, and thanks to director of center for counterhejamonic studies tim anderson joining us from canbra. with that brings us to here on this on this edition. the news review, but sticker on, we've got plenty more to come here on press tv. see you soon. republican presidential contender, donald trump and his democratic rival camala harris have held their first televised debate at of the november us election. harris was generally believed to have won the face off, but she has considerable ground to make up in the race to try to win the... electoral college. robin monzahary has your details. 75 days after president joe biden's disastrous debate performance sparked backroom deals which forced him out and camala harris in as the democratic party's candidate this november, harris and donald trump held their first highly anticipated debate. flash poll showed that by two to1 margin viewers believed that harris won, however. given that harris had only fielded questions from one journalis

all right, thanks lot, podcaster esha krishna swami joining us from st. petersburg, and editor of veterans today, mr. kevin berret joining us from saidia morocco. with that, it brings us to an end here on this edition of the news review, but stick around, we've got plenty more to come here on press tv. russia is once again warned the us and its nato allies for allowing ukraine to use long-range missiles they've supplied to kieve. moscow says such move could lead to direct confrontation between russia and the western military alliance. if the decision to lift restrictions is really taken, that will mean that from that moment nato countries are conducting direct war with russia and we will have to take. relevant decisions to counter this western aggression, the russian ambassador to the united nations was addressing security council meeting on friday, vasselina benzia said, the use of advanced weapons against russian soil would force moscow to change its stance toward nato. vasily underline that the us lead nato will have to take full responsibility for the

okay uh, miss krishna swami, the top uh iranian security official uh at this meeting has condemned the west double standard when it comes. terrorism in the palestinian territories, can you elaborate on that for us? what is he alluding to? of course, um, the west keeps repeating, and in the debate the other day between mr. trump and miss camala harris, they both had almost the identical stance about israel's right to defend itself, so they claim that israel is under threat from terrorism from palestine, from palestinian forces, but they don't recognize the sheer amount of terror if we define terror as one um destruction of civilian infrastructure, wanting killing of civilians that the israeli forces engage in, so the west keeps repeating that stance of israel's right to defend itself, but of course it's not defense when israel is committing a campaign of ethnic cleansing and targeting civilians and targeting civilian infrastructure and making statements about wiping out the entire gaza population, and i think that is the main double standard that the west adheres to, where they selectiv

to the both of you, let's start off with miss krishna swami, if you may uh esha, please break down uh this uh political row uh that uh exists right now between spain and and venezuela, help us better understand uh the the components of this, well this is not the first time that spain has granted asylum to um members of the venezuelan opposition, they also granted asylum to leopoldo lopez. who was also part of the venezuelan opposition, and what most people don't realize is that the venezuelan opposition engages in both paramilitary activities and extreme violent activities. um, so in 2017, after the elections, they engaged in breath taking amount of violence, and even in this year after the elections, they engaged in a breath taking amount of violence, and what is also interesting is that they're supported by the us, the state department, the... endowment for democracy and in this year um the they engaged in kind of many color revolution type tricks, i interviewed a journalist brian mayor and he was telling me the story where after the polls closed the opposition got together many peo

isha krishna swami and out of norway author and commentator john stepley.especially prime minister netanyahu who has been facing corruption charges, so... "the longer the war goes on, the less attention is based uh domestically on other issues, so i think for him, he calculates this as matter of survival for his um government. what about that, john, what do you think uh, do you agree with this show that uh, the regime is basically just trying to draw others in, and if you agree, do you think these other uh countries such as the us and uk, would actually uh become directly involved and as she said we know uh that washington is sending more troops to the region? well, i think there's a general consensus that this is the uh the israeli goal is to is to bring the us into um much more direct and active role in this conflict to expand the conflict uh this has always been... israeli gold though, i mean this is not a new uh idea, netanyahu absolutely wants to keep the conflict going, he he quite likely ends up in... jail um if the war were to end, the genocide uh t

petersburg, ashha krishna swami, ashha, let's continue our discussion as uh, we uh shifted on more to yemen and the resistance front, and these retaliatory attacks, as our correspondent was about to explain to us, and uh, if you could please elaborate more on whether or not you think that the israelis took this into account, did they expect that they would be uh receiving uh attacks... from yemen, from iraq, from hazbullah, is this something they had in mind before they started the genocidal war on gaza? that is unclear, um, but before they started the operations in lebanon, they have been facing missile attacks from both hazballah and the ansar allah army in yemen, so i think they would have had to take that into effect, um, and i think it must have... have been commiserate with their overall goal, but before they started the genocidal war with gaza, it is unclear because people were not sure of the their of the military capabilities of either the ansar allah army or the various groups of the axes of resistance, so i so so that's i guess my answer. okay, and uh, now we see that the r

miss isha krishna swami journalist and podcaster from st. petersburg and also we had mr. fran huse journalist author and activist from. fast uh, thank you for your time uh, miss uh, uh, krishnaswami, that's why i call you isa, because it's a bit hard, difficult to say, and also mr. hughes, and with that we come to the end of this rolling coverage, we will have a short break and feature program and then we will continue, so stay tuned, and may peace. be upon all of the prophets and messengers, may peace be upon you all. this israel which considers itself to be the strongest army in the middle east, the strongest country in the middle east, when it resorts to such. the level of lying, this shows the level of illusions and failure and weakness of this entity. so this is the lesson we can learn from the confrontation. i consider it to be one of the achievements of the operation, the arbin operation. after all, as a retaliation for the assassination of and the others in this is an achievement. if we want to look one by one, to say that there was a plan for the resistance to ta

mariam salh will be in touch with her for more developments in beirot, but we also have miss eshna, krishna swamihere being a potential ceasefire in order to show that israel is ally that can be trusted, but israeli officials have rejected any potential seats fire um and are not even coming to the negotiating table, which kind of makes it embarrassing to the us, because the us does have leverage over israel because it's its main weapon supplier, but they are refusing to use it, and they've been giving unconditional weapons to israel, so it shows us's impotance in controlling its main ally, in the middle east. uh, do you believe that the attacks? well, we have seen that is created some... kind of unity among the lebanese people, there have been scenes as described by our correspondent after uh, particularly the uh pager explosions, people even donating their eyes uh to those who were injured, these are scenes that were very unexpected uh to say the least, the same kind of unity do you think we could see outside the borders of lebanon as to creating a front of anti-israeli countries, maybe countrie

that's asha krishna swami, broadcaster and journalist from st. petersburg, we're going to go back to the gaza strip from dar abala, we have a correspondent musaba joined us. we have just spoken to an analyst talking about this purge, if you want to call it that, i'm not too sure what word to use, force displacement itself is a war crime, but that has happened so many. occasions, not only in terms of force displacement, but other war crimes that the israel regime has committed. we i did ask you about this northern palestine and the clearance that the israel regime wants to do. are we looking any signs of that happening at this point? and are we looking at the hamas fighters uh in terms of the numbers if you can tell us being presence there in the northern part? why is it the northern part the focus of this regime wanting to do this if they are going to do it in fact? yes, let me begin with the last part of your question, why is it about the northern part of kas strip? as you know, the northern part of kas strip is considered as one of the most str
