for further assessment of israel's ongoing military operation, we speak now to michael clarke, who isctor—general of rusi. one that is israel is going into the jabalia refugee camp in the north. it was always going to do that because the israelis always said and i am sure they are not wrong that the jabalia refugee camp was a headquarters for hamas — and recruited in the camp and had facilities below it. so just as the al shifa hospital was a major israeli target in the north, jabalia refugee was the next. when they finished at al shifa they would always go to jabalia refugee and that is what doing now. in the south it looks as if they had started a ground offensive toward khan younis. we were not sure if they would do this but if they do they are trying to get people moving west of khan younis towards the coast which is what they would like them to do and this, we will not help. because all it will do if you cram people into the western corner of the gaza strip, tou will have cholera, there is no hygiene, the gaza strip, you will have cholera, there is no hygiene, no water, no facili

british academic specializing in defense studies, michael clarke, said the following.would be an ammunition crisis in winter, and now the crisis has arrived. because we gave away what was easy to give away, now we are reaching for supplies to give at least a little more, but not everything, and we cannot produce weapons quickly in sufficient quantities, at least until 2025, in 2024 no one will have enough weapons, russia won’t, nato won’t, and ukraine won’t either, well, why is it so stupid that they say to themselves maybe he knows something, but not about us, we still have, and not only will, but also have, today the head of rustek. chemizov, this is what he said at a meeting with the president of the russian federation, vladimir putin. artillery, armored vehicles, tanks, combat aircraft, small arms, drones, ammunition and so on. and if we , to be honest, if we had not carried out a global modernization of our enterprises before the twenty-second year, i think that there would be a manifold increase in production, which... zelyansky also deceived macron and merkel wh

michael clarke is a former director general of the uk defence and security thinktank rusi.his assessment of the ground operation announcement. israel is going at jabaliya in the north, the jabalia refugee camp. it was always going to do that because they, the israelis always say, and i'm sure they're not wrong, that the jabaliya refugee camp was also a big headquarters area for hamas. they organized in the camp, they recruited in the camp. they seem to have facilities below it. so itjust as the al shifa hospital was a major israeli target in the north. jabalia was also the next one. when they when he finished in al shifa, they were always going to go to jabalia and that's what they're doing now in the south. what's interesting is that they look as if they started a ground offensive towards khan yunis. we weren't sure if they would do this, but if they do, they're obviously trying to get people to move west of khan yunis towards the coast, which is what they would like them to do. and the un agencies have said that we won't facilitate this, we won't help because all will all

british military academician michael clarke, there is such a thing, he began to sound the alarm becausen, they know how to calculate everything perfectly, in general this war clearly did not go according to the european scenario a journalist from the british guardian reported that russia produces more shells than all nato countries. russia will likely be able to fire about 5 million shells into ukraine in 2024. despite the flippant remark of european officials that the russian economy is equal in size. the kremlin produces more shells than the entire nato bloc. meanwhile, ukraine is unlikely to see a significant increase in supplies for several months. this will lead to the initiative passing to the russians. the kremlin believes it can victory by 2026, so putin is in no mood to retreat. how did it happen that the west radically changed its attitude towards the conflict this year, why did they underestimate us so much at the beginning of the conflict? well, firstly, we hid our capabilities well, even from our own population, by the way, but i know for sure that the restoration of the mi

joining me now is michael crowley and with us collin clark. let's get right to it, michael.n israel. we heard today from president herzog, netanyahu has to hold his hard line publically. we know the israel government, under pressure from hostage families after the deaths of the three by friendly fire on friday, is feeling tremendous pressure at home domestically to try to get them out. >> andrea, thanks for having me on. it has been an incredibly difficult balance for the israelis. obviously, the imperative of getting the hostages out is enormous. israel has been willing to pay a huge price to get prisoners back, specifically from hamas in one case more than 1,000 palestinian prisoners released by the israelis to get back one israeli soldier. they have that massive imperative. on the other hand, the enormous imperative of striking back at hamas after the october 7th attacks and destroying hamas and its infrastructure. those two goals have always been in a state of enormous tension. i think you just saw this -- the most horrendous illustration when the three israeli hostages

john bullock clark and henny cornelius burnett of kentucky all served in the confederate army. in 1980, michael meyers, no relation to the movie character, was given the boot after he was caught taking bribes in the fbi's sting, and in 2002, james traficant was expelled after his conviction on ten corruption related accounts, bribery, racketeering, and tax evasion. today, for his litany of illegal and unethical behavior, george santos joined that infamous club. becoming just the sixth house member to be expelled in the history of the united states congress. after 11 months of drama, the house finally said good-bye and good riddance to the serial fabulist. true to form, he was defiant to the bitter end, although he tried to appear zen-like about the losing his job thing this morning. >> i have accepted the fate. look, i believe that if it's god's will to keep me here, i will stay. if it's his will for me to leave, i will leave. i will do so graciously. >> yeah, except he really didn't do that. during debate on his expulsion yesterday, he basically dared his colleagues to oust him, and clearly ex

expelled from congress. 1861, john clark, john reed, henry burr net were expelled on the grounds for treason for supporting the confederate rebellion. in 1980, michael myers was convicted of bribery involving an f.b.i. sting that led to the convictions of seven members of congress. six resigned. and myers was expelled on a vote of 376-30. then in 2002, james traficant was convicted on 10 counts, including bribery, conspiracy to defraud the united states, corruption, obstruction of justice. all five, all five of these men had one thing in common and they were all convicted under federal law and that rightfully expelled from congress. kicking out mr. santos is setting a very dangerous precedent. never before has congress expelled a member based on indictments. indictments require nothing more than probable cause, an indictment is not a conviction. so why today would we remove a member from this house based on an indictment? it's never been done before. it shouldn't happen today. in this country i thought everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. i do not and have not and will not support the removal of representative santos,

clark, john w. reid and henry c burnett, who were expelled back in 1861 for fighting for the confederacy. also michael ozzie meyers, no, not the one from halloween. i'm talking about a real person here. the one expelled in 1980 after he was convicted as part of the infa miss abscam investigation. he and other lawmakers were caught up in a sting operation taking bribes to help a make-believe arab sheikh. fun fact, it was the inspiration for the oscar-winning movie american hustle. it's friday night. i admit the movie references are getting extreme. then there's this one. james traf i cant jr. who got kicked out after being convicted of several crimes including bribery back in 2002. and that's it, six in 234 yearsmyears. i want to bring in congressman glen ivy. he was one of the 311 members who voted to expel george santos today. he also sits on the ethics committee that recommended his expulsion. congressman, i'm so glad you're here. thank you for joining me today. i got to tell you people were wondering if this day would come the second they started to hear about how he got elected in the first place.
