5:34 pm
pridon meal, however they bombarded the place. we are displaced persons from the north, we are not affiliated with any political party, no safe place is being left across gaza. i am saying this to the whole world, they can see what israel is doing to the poor palestinian people. we have been under bombings for six months, they are children, what have they done to deserve this? we are tired, we no longer have energy, the children in the south and the... north are dying of hunger, what has baby done to die of hunger? sheet metal panels, rubble and the stones have fallen on my husband, god protected my daughter, pulled her out from the bathroom, the metal panels and rubble from the adjacent building collapse on us, thanks god we survived. washington has taken u-turn after vedoing three gaire resolutions of the un security council. the west secretary of state who is a trip to west asia says his council members will support the us

5:36 pm
and this brutality on gaza. previously we addressed the us funding of this war by supplying weapons to the israeli regime and that if it was not for this supply the war would ended because israel doesn't have the ability to exhaust its military equipment in a long-term war, especially that it is fighting on several fronts, then we spoke about the us multiple times and unilaterally blocking the way a sease fire decision by the general assembly through its veto uh alleged right, and now the us totally stopped its funding of the unurwa in another clear indication that it is accomplish in the israeli starvation against the palestinian civilians in gaza, not only did the us stop the funds for the unarwa, but it also totally disregarded the israeli bombardments on un facilities and workers. the us has the power
5:37 pm
easily make israel allow humanitarian aid into ghazza, but it deliberately refrains from taking such decision, because the reasons behind starving the people of gaz. an attempt to force the resistance in ghazza to yield into accepting israeli conditions to stop the war are for the benefits of both israel and the us. since israel is, as matter of undeniable fact, an extension of the us in west asia, and today the cease fire negotiations that are going uh that are ongoing non directly of course between palestinian resistance and the israeli regime are led by the us from the israeli side. because it is about whether the us can or cannot resume this war and it is about the future of the us interest in west asia. the united nations satellite center has released an updated assessment of the damage inflicted on buildings in the gaza strep says 35% of

5:41 pm
double standards by blacklisting those who extend support to the oppressed palestinians, but at the same time supplying the israeli regime with arms and money to keep spilling the blood of palestinians. firstly we discuss that issue with syd mohammed morande, a university professor and political analyst in tehron. let's take a listen. genocide in gaza. is clear for everyone to see, even in the west, people are increasingly recognizing the fact that the israeli regime is carrying out a holocaust, but as you rightly pointed out, the ban against the russians or bellorus or others is has been put in place not only by bodies linked to sports, but also all other and institutions, european institutions and elsewhere, the the russians are punished,
5:42 pm
but the israelis are not punished, the israeli regime is not sanctioned, only a handful of people in the west bank settlers have been sanctioned, and that's for show, but whole entire countries are sanctioned by the europeans and americans, iran, syria, venezuela, cuba and yemen, other countries have been completely destroyed, russia also sanction, but the israeli regime despite carrying out this genocide, despite it going on for months and despite it being the first genocide to take place in front of the eyes the global community, the west is doing nothing uh to stop it, there's really. regime has conducted fresh raids on different areas across the west bank, four palestinians are killed in turkaram and another killed in

5:46 pm
in the border of occupied palestine, but iraq and yemen, they are little bit far, especially. is so far, but the both of them, yemen and iraq, they are clearly standing with the people of palestine, with the cause of palestine through their resistance, through their arms, through their sacrifices and especially the the the islamic resistance as in the second phase of resistance activities, first they had stopped ships in the mediter mediterranean. and now in the second phase they are continuously attacking in the talab also in talabiib and also the bingorian airport, it is the clear message, not only for zinis regime, not only for illegitimate israel, but this is the special message, this is the very strong and special message to the government of the united states which is the most criminal which is

the most biased, which is the most inhuman government in in the world and which is the supporting systematic and organized genocide of plaza with israel, so this is the message to us. european council president charles mitchell has called on the european union to prepare for war and to enhance its military capabilities and but escalating tensions with russia over the war in ukraine. president reports from rom. the recent european council president charles michelle's warning that the european union needs to ramp up its military production and shift to a war economy mode in response to an alleged threat posed by russia has sparked international alarm and mixed reactions in europe. earlier this week michelle wrote an opinion editorial run by media specialized in eu affairs that if
5:48 pm
europe wants peace it must prepare for war, arguing that although the eu's military... manufacturing capacity has increased by 50% since the start of the ukraine russia war in 2022, far more was needed. our european awakening is just beginning to take shape, and i would like to tell you what i feel, the time has come to create a real union of defense coupled with a true defense single market. michelle added that the european union must finally take responsibility. for its own security, for decades, the european union has relied heavily on the united states and the western military alliance nato for its security. analysts believed that the dependency on external powers by the 27 member block has resulted in a complete loss of its own geopolitical and strategic autonomy. at this point in time the eu cannot
5:49 pm
be militarily independent, it can't... adopt autonomous strategies. today europe must creat its own defense system so that in 30 years time it can really be geopolitically autonomous. if we continue to put national interests ahead, all individual states, including italy would lose geopolitical relevance. michelle's remarks come as ukrainian and international politicians and experts are warning that ammunition shortages are resulting in the losses of territory to russia. so far said no to this request to avoid the war escalation, adding that his country has already provided here with arms for 7 billion euros while france is struggling to pay for ukraine military aid.
