hello and welcome defrost of full force. here we discussed some real in the our top stories on our t ukrainian troops to continue their retreats, while washington's fresh aid package. the cab is far from the reality of what the billions of dollars are intended for the loss says it has no major issues after considering israel's most recent proposal for a long awaited piece bill and hostage release agreements and gaza. as the groups delegation arrived in egypt also at the club, zillow has been delayed by a number of weeks at this point. they are hoping to ensure that the ships leap as quickly as possible. protesters and turkey a rally to support an international aid patel at the gaza and a sweet spot for the enclave.

the rachel ruble live in moscow. you're watching our t international. we begin with the latest on the conflict in ukraine, where the country is commander in chief general. alexander stairs admits that russian forces are having a tactical successes on the battlefield, as cube was forced to withdraw its troops from the villages of vertically and send me an oath cat to the north west of, of the f caught. and from now the high loaf tied to the southwest of do next. and while ukraine is retreating, the us is funneling war dollars to give. but where's the money really going? our correspondence shape bows takes a closer look. so is the premium slice for waived, and the us political a lead, slap themselves on the back for passing, but at least looks like it over 60 wouldn't, $1000000000.00 and $8.00 for ukraine. we've taken a closer look at how, when,

where the money will supposedly be spent in surprise, surprise, the reality doesn't really much. the headlines a short time ago, the house of representatives, pastor crucial aid bill for ukraine. we begin in the united states where below make us have just passed a close will 61000000000 dollar a package for you for vital funding needed to help you. crane defend itself from russia's invasion, has just been approved in the house of representatives. found is just a good everyone knows, or at least things house speaker mike johnson's bill, provide 60800000000 in a to count the russia with a detailed analysis of where the cash will actually go. revealed a fascinating and if you're a supporter of ukrainian proxy war project, a very worrying reality, the vast majority won't get anywhere near the front lines. as you can see, just under 50000000000 will go to defense spending for you crime. but that's a very broad term with huge amounts being spent of far from the front lines. and

for the immediate use by a train in military. that's break it down. well, that's 50000000000 spent, or at least supposedly to be spent on the wider ukrainian project. but that still leaves over 10000000000 left and no one seems to know anything about. and western politicians celebrated the game changer a package rushes foreign ministry spokeswoman called the reality of the so called aide to key if it's on the limited cost, give us for the us military. h and the crane about one quarter of the $9061000000000.00 in a to will be used for this purpose. and the means of the crate in military will be metal. the credit bases not reach you. it's sleep. the lion's share of the funds will remain in the united states by the consent of them. she moved austin, explains that about $50000000000.00 would be directly invested in the us defense industrial complex and would create jobs in more than 2 states. so there we have

most of the cash for speaker johnson's rolling bill will never actually get to ukraine, but we'll grease the wheels of the us military industrial complex. so what's on surprising that the speaker himself isn't too eager to highlight this reality? referring to play the role of a stand up guy, just doing the right thing for ukraine. meanwhile, the american top brass have no problem admitting that this is all about flushing cash into the u. s. weapons factories. by providing approximately $50000000000.00 that will flow directly until a defense industrial base. these bill will create good american jobs in more than 30 states, even as it reinforces us, long term security. these to just nation will make america more secure and save lice. congress passes military age for ukraine and israel. we won't write blank

checks. we'd send to military equipment from our own stock piles, then use the money authorized by congress to replenish those stockpiles by buying from american suppliers. that includes patriot missiles made in arizona, javelin missiles made an alabama and artillery shells made in pennsylvania, ohio and texas. we would be investing in america's industrial base, buying american products, made by american workers supporting jobs in nearly 40 states, and strengthening our own national security. we would help our friends while helping our sales. and of course, it's also worth remembering that the us has already pumped over a $100000000000.00 of its own tax payers cash into the sailing ukrainian project. the scale of the spending is truly astounding with 2 programs operating to fund key f. one is the presidential authority,

and the folder is the ukraine security assistance initiative. we'd want existing to replenish weapons in cash into the older since march 2022. $19000000000.00 worth the borders. i've been financed into the us military industrial complex onto this initiative alone. and as the reality dogs, the us aid to ukraine, it's a fact more about funding america's own weapons manufacturers under vast profit and defending ukraine. so even a key of are beginning to wake up to the truth. having received crumbs from the table as a result of a long political game which costs to slice territories infrastructure. ukraine has worked in the interest of specific political and lobbying groups in the united states as further aid packages look unlikely. the american establishment interest in this government is exhausted. and of course, the devil is always in the detail with less than $13000000000.00 and military

a likely to action even arrive in ukraine at all with much of the long promised american supplies not even manufactured yet. this doesn't bode well for kids rapidly retreating and depleting. army, that's us. the lansky who refused to hold elections will essentially mccomb illegitimate dictator when his term expires next month. meanwhile, the truth is it could take years for any of the a to arrive. and one thing ukraine doesn't have right now is time. the delegation from us is set to arrive in egypt on monday to deliver the groups response to israel is proposal on peace and the exchange of hostages, hamas. it says it has no major issues of for considering as well as the most recent proposal for a long awaited peace and hostage release agreement and gaza. that's according to the a f p, citing the groups representative. israel estimates there are still 129 is relays

being held in gaza earlier as well, rejected tomas as demands for an ongoing truce. nonetheless, according to reports as well, is willing to talk about the restoration of sustainable calm in gaza. following the release of the hostages as part of his most recent approach, according to the gods and health ministry of the is really offensive, has killed at least 34454 palestinians in gaza. the majority of them being women and children. meanwhile, and israel far right ministers, oppose the deal with home us national security minister, it's a more ben gavera said the deal would mean the dissolution of the governments and the finance minister and turn only added fuel to the fire. cleveland if thinking of if he decides to fly a white flag and cancel the order to conquer rafa immediately to complete the mission of destroying him off and restored peace for the residence of southern israel and all of the country citizens and return our productive brothers and

sisters were held hostage to their homes, then the government who had will have no right of existence. most of the but the is really public continues to advocate for the return of positives from hamas captivity. earlier mass anti government protests were held in televi protesters called for early elections and demanded the return of his release from johnson minister benny again send opposition leader. yeah. are the paid say the return of a back. these is and government priority this government has to choose return of the object to use a life or been greer and smart, rich relations with the americans or been greer and smart, rich, the solider deal or being clear and small judge is real security or being clear and small judge, if a responsible outline is reached for the return of the object to use with the

backing of the entire security system, which does not involve the end of the war. and the ministers who let the government on october 7th prevented the government will not have the right to continue to exist and lead the campaign political analyst, and there are and says the hospice deal is the appropriate decision for prime minister netanyahu. despite the earlier promises of a total victory, leah extreme right wing ministers, bank beer and smoke bridge are putting the lives of the hostages far below their own ideal logic. who are not the susan and they are threatening. nathan, jo, we stop laying his government and going to early elections, which that i know knows you will lose. so the question is, are we in that then you all finally pulled the 1st, i mean, many is show suddenly the issue and resist the pressure by you small regions bank.

there is a gunston, he's popular, eyes in court, leave the government. there will be huge demonstration, huge dropped us, probably a general strike, which is going to bring the government down. so the question for them, you know, is not the whether the government winning falls, but which direction. and exactly is the case is better for him to go for a house that you do, even though it means that the israel has not gotten the total victory, which he promised once the bill is accepted, there will be due relation as well. but once the celebrations are over, the political storm will take over and is ready. we'll go to early elections, which will bring the end to the re over is really probably nearly 7 months into the war and dies. and most of as residential buildings have

already been destroyed by the idea of it could take at least 14 years while using a 100 trucks just to clear away all the rubble. well, that's the stark assessment from the top, the mining official at the united nations. what we know do know is that we estimate $4.00 to $37000000.00 tons of of debris which is approximately 300 feet of debris per square meter. 65 percent of the buildings that have been destroyed. all residential buildings. an estimation has been done based on the current number of, of tons of, of debris in engulf on with 100 trucks. we're talking about 14 years of work with 100 trucks. so that's based on that figure. 14 years to remove with approximately 750000 work days. there are lot hammer stress that it's impossible to estimate how

long it will take to clean up the entire enclave when more eventually ends. he also mentioned a large number of unexploded munitions scattered across the ruins of gaza. on average, some 10 percent of all shells fired reported they failed to that night, leaving behind a lease right to any future reconstruction efforts. meanwhile, the u. n and the world bank have warned that it will take at least $18000000000.00 to rebuild what's already been destroyed in the embattled palestinian territory. the

i'm of the i, a construction and reconstruction project manager says it will take a considerable amount of resources to rebuild gaza as the level of big destruction is unprecedented. it should be based on the amount of resources because at, in, in, in our case what i'm talking about district or do we have to think about the whole astrid and in such as payable destruction. it's like the little to, you know, as a citizens has been to be able to for them to sketch the ones i was talking about, a huge resources required to be, to use, to remove that if there's, if there is. and then a been decreased as a say, well, talking about a huge exit doors. huge amount of trucks, speech obtains at maybe some special equipment to do more. and as you said, it is onyx for it's, it's a fluid, the materials that are within the dippers. and this would be emissions that

this would be a exclusive material that can be explored any time when, as opinions trying to remove just the, the 1st, some point, the sheer size, the sheer scale of this. for instance, you, you're one of the most experienced people in the middle east. all of this, does it, does it link to anything you've ever worked on before the sheer scale of this, this huge amount of destruction? i don't think so because this is, this is that the face time we encounter this amount of destruction. and basically they say the army is trying to get into the city and they make it livable for anymore. so no one can then invest angles returning to live in these buildings, such as domestic attacks. do these buildings that can, that can't be, was anymore. at some point, us assemble has seen large protests after the freedom flotilla, maritime humanitarian, and consul,

i meant to supply aid the gaza. the spice is rarely a blockade, was halted in the city we spoke to, nor inquiring about a chairman of october, can group and g o, who is a participant in the flotilla. he told us his story with a group as well as its goals. i joined the plucky labs from 2000 and then when they to us, the monitoring must be monumental tragedy. you know, at the time we, we bring a lot of human activity and age to get there to break the sheet. you guys a but as you know, 8000 and then the site is causing the into much, you know, to walter and then, and then take color shape and then cuts and go to do the deal. and then uh, we cannot deliver an order from issues. and this time the after 6 months, the door more than 6 months uh, door we was together in, in it is from one either $4.00 to $40.00 countries. so i mentioned that to go to

the break seats in and it's, it's fairly normal. i tried it because all it was, is humanitarian, the activities. but i'm all over the words. we tried to, to enter the together, sit through it. uh, but as you know, in the border we cannot enter is easily yet we can we have 2 ways, one month, 2 months, 3 months. yeah. and yeah. after our we can deliver our 8 sol. so we try. yeah. from there all over the world to gather the stumble and then to try to to go to the benefits to to see do i need to just do this for our ac tomato, price 1500 the phone. so if we have bread presented from one or 2 months ago, yeah, 3 vessels carrying some, 5000 tons of aid were blocked by the african nation of guinea basalt, which removed its flags from the ships, allegedly in response to pressure from israel. with more on the protest and other pressures the coalition face, here's our to use. yes. and i can hundreds have gathered behind me in this doubles

. it is good. i square this crowd march through the streets of his stumble, to raise awareness regarding the palestinian fights. israel's also against the palestinian people against the people of gaza over the course of months. and since early october, the speakers that's up to the stands where one of the organizers who essentially came together to provide a briefing and an update on the freedom flotilla that will be leaving the charge of stocks making its way to gaza. and the organizes are aiming to ensure that you manage here and it makes its way to gauze and the organizing another round of ships to, of course, take course to the gaza strip people. a lot of them on the 2 things. the 1st is free. i didn't go up, they went to a, does the and sick and cease fire. it's very simple. this is what you're doing. that's why i did that for them for the dislike failing. that's why we are asking all over the world and leaders. let's take action to a free entered and imitating

a, the ceasefire. stealing they'll be trying to organize. do they said that she'd be heading a problem because these ladies are trying to step out for that for, for the countries. because as you know, the issue a ship must have it for like 2 sale. so that i would like is one of the country and near the is i just communicating the country and making pretty shift. so now we are trying to sort out this problem. i provide each and every country to get to do is connect for the sitting there. if he's a couple of the ships that were under the flag, a longing to get it be so have withdrew their ships. many people claim that the is released have applied enough pressure to ensure that the decision came through and this adds further pressure to the organizers to ensure that they take care of the logistics and ensure that the hotel, those are the ships. do leave these doc spencer to make its way to the palestinian strip, but there's also a great deal more complications as the organizes are trying to battle with that.

the flow to list has been delayed by a number of weeks at this point, and they are hoping to ensure that these ships leave as quickly as possible. and the support in which they are referred to as a global assistance will make its way to palestine, ensure that many of the aid that the palestinians they can be of course, provided. one more issue in this respect is of course the response that the is well, these will show we understand that in the early 20 times when a similar flow to the try to break the siege. that was established against the policy. and people, uh the ships were rated by these rarely forces, and we can expect a similar outcome if not worse, if the ships are to leave these dots and attempt its way to gaza. the russian special envoy for the middle east and africa has held a meeting with the head of the student is suffering and counsel to discuss bilateral relations. and that's as the student is foreign minister showed his gratitude for russian assistance because it looks ox focused on the importance of

joints, cooperation in all fields of political, economic, cultural and military spheres. and where that the sudanese leadership appreciates the russian assistance to sedan and its support for legitimacy in sedona. mr. al capacity expressed to the russian and boy that any attempts solved by all those lurking about the face of the suit and these people will not be allowed to happen to the suit on. these people are open to any political steps to stop the bloodshed and call them the matters into done, but with a legitimate vision that guarantees the full rights of its people. and so that the student is the official claims, the meeting secure in russia, support for sedan and tackling threats the sovereignty. their transitional sovereignty counsel member praise russia's position is a court of cities. legitimacy. adding attempts to undermine it were doomed to failure. the sedan is entering the 2nd year of a civil war since the start of the complex between the sit in these armed forces

and rapid support forces. at least 14700 people have been killed, with almost 30000 wounded. after reports of an eminent attack on the last remaining city incidents north star for a region that is now under the control of the parent military group. when the, when expressed as deep concern calling on both sides to take steps to de escalate. the commissioner calls for an image of disposition of these couple spoke extradition and should have caustic, such as published the country from once. i'm yano, investigation of ball and age, to publish and abuses living slash thing. my kimmel rice. no. i'm sorry. restaurants, let me try so i'm gonna charge them though, with a view to a showing accountability, but evictions rights to both justice under questions. he also argues both parties to the conflict and the all it is to grunt. so really i was faced message to other areas that show the construction of civilians on speed and objects and facilitate

safe upon him that you want to show your boxes. well, let's take a closer look at the humanitarian situation in sedans and is fighting broke out last year. over at $17000000.00 people which mounts to 37 percent of the country's population are currently facing acute hunger. almost 7000000 students. these are internally displaced due to the conflict. the un estimates 25000000 people will be in need of a that this year we heard from locals affected by the violence as a millennium. and do you know, kind of more so when we 1st reached the temporary shelter of some charge, the organizations offered health and they gave us food. but later the assistance stopped. now we walked around the day by market every day trying to get some food for free. life is really hard and several members of my family have food and now it was very, very difficult. for a long period, we were hiding under a bed with no food, no water, no help. the bumps came from all sides,

especially when really it was extremely difficult as we were surrounded by army b, as in military, industrial, complex facilities, and foreign affairs, expert and editor in chief of city news news to for alti. our osman, regardless, says, the only way to ensure a stability in the country is to make both parties of the conflict. sit down for dialog. every day, new omens ran everywhere and every minister died in death for in data and how cool people are facing a very dark future because they are lacking no food and medicine. and there's any incident and more assistance during the coming days as to the 0380 to receive any outside assistance to drive some other countries. they tried to send administrators are done, most of this was stolen by some but this insights into the, the,

the money to take lisa assistant to the people who he needs. so as on new and as a way to solve the conflict is that is to bring these just terms, all completely body a data data between the 2 bodies to really think about this, right? well that's not it for me for now, but do stay with us. my colleague, nicky aaron will be in next in just over 30 minutes with more of the day stuff. new stories i for the the,

the car accepted. and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. you do not watch my new show search like why watch something that's so different whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do have the state department c i a weapons makers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want marshall stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the williams. thanks

the hello and welcome to prospect bullhorn and peter lavelle here. we just got some real news with a passage of binds huge for an a bill. it is important to ask, what is next? what is really the purpose of this a to help you frame when we're only just start off to feet for now, to discuss these issues and for i'm joined by gilbert caro in st. petersburg. he's an independent political analyst, an author of memoirs. i'm an ex pat manager in moscow during the 1990s, and here in moscow we have to meet 3 bobbies. he is a political analyst at spoke nick, international gentlemen cross type rules and effect. that means you can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate it. all right, let's start out with him a here in moscow. well, we've had a week now to kind of digest the passage. you biden's huge for an,

a built in an election year of all things. and of course, we have the buys but bipartisan consensus of foreign wars and intervention. you saw the results after the vote was taken on the house floor with the waving of the flags and everything. uh, for a lot of people in congress, it was a feel good thing, but in the, at the end of the day, even in mainstream media, there is a hardly a fair on biased towards russia. they're even asking the same questions at all of us have been asking all the long. i mean, fine, you can dedicate money in weapons, but is it going to make any difference after a week of this here? do you mean what do you think? uh, well 1st, uh, some people just don't understand that a huge part of these 60 bottle beer that is going to be spent on your grain. a huge part of it is going to be spans the previous really varies. i mean is it,

uh uh the budget is going to to compensate and to go on for. busy for the delivery is that it's already made for the expenses. bits of already weighed about 11000000000 are actually going to be spent on a nato troops. american troops next the quick. right. uh and the other thing is that uh, even though uh, i think it was drunk, we insisted from that. we are my going to some people don't normally do this alone . i liked the phrase for. busy my senate, the senate, the smallest to be a promo of a republican from the bottom. she said, don't let yourself be fooled. now the door of this is going to be paid for snow to low. you know, we know the regimes that exist in ukraine since the $1014.00 was they get the money together. you know, they never, they, but so basically, i think everyone is more so the what was the, will continue longer,

more people are going to die. probably in areas far removed from the from flight because uh you'd ask you will. bice himself will just get full free. long range. nice sipes. uh the american taxpayer will know it get keys or her money back. and again uh, 2 bills started. don't let you so it would be full. not of this is going to be paid for. i'm going to print these dollars by going to borrow it from china. well, they dreamed i, americans are concerned about their dependence on china is going to increase. yeah . will deem a and in this i'll throw it over to gilbert. i mean, if you read the fine print of the bill, it's a sweetheart loan and the don't have to pay it back. it's in the bill itself. it was, it was marketed in a very different way, but in the, if you look at the, the black and white it is an absolute giveaway. gilbert. i mean, it, it seems to me, and all of us have been watching this very closely. not since 2022, but since 2024 uh for.
