[00:00:00] kilometers inside Lebanon, this comes as Salam continues to
[00:00:03] talk, at least on the surface about Israeli withdrawal,
[00:00:07] seemingly in contradiction with the reality on the
[00:00:09] ground. Your priorities will remain our
[00:00:14] and we ask priorities, stopping the Israeli attacks, Israel's complete withdrawal from our
[00:00:17] territory, and the safe and dignified return of people to their
[00:00:21] homes. Now the eighth round of talks between Lebanon and Israel is planned
[00:00:25] for later this month with some saying they will take place in Florida, but months of
[00:00:29] negotiations. so far produced little concrete change for the people of the
[00:00:32] south. Israel remains inside Lebanon and is expanding
[00:00:36] its presence while escalating its attacks as noted by uniful
[00:00:39] observers. hundreds have been killed since the latest opposed
[00:00:42] ceasefire. cease fire is something which Israel has never really added
[00:00:46] to. talks about reconstruction seem unrealistic while
[00:00:49] Israeli destruction continues. so the key question now is whether
[00:00:53] the negotiations can produce something tangible, that is
[00:00:57] an end to the attacks and an Israeli withdrawal. All the
[00:01:01] evidence on the ground suggest that in reality this is something of a
[00:01:04] distant hope. This is Steve
[00:01:06] work and I just arrived Sweenie for
[00:01:11] My whole body is broken from beautiful feeling that cannot be described. We have been RTA, Southern Nabatieh. From Nabatieh to The war started. We sang to Lebanon. This is RC International, the news and analysis from
[00:01:13] Jisr al-Qa'qaiyah. To Nabatieh from across the globe and I'll be back with more
[00:01:14] al-Khalidiya to in about 30 minutes. You stay with us.
[00:01:19] and livelihoods. This
[00:01:24] to know if you'll go to the renovations, with the
[00:01:31] trucks and your
[00:01:37] destruction,
[00:02:02] Bonjour, bonjour, my friend, how are you? I hope everything is fine. Today
[00:02:06] is the last day of the ceasefire agreement
[00:02:10] between the agreement that the Lebanese state made with the
[00:02:13] Israeli enemy.
[00:02:20] So, God willing, we'll see. The whole world is waiting, and we are waiting to see what the situation
[00:02:23] will be. What will happen? But most likely, God willing, things are going
[00:02:27] for the better and for the best. God willing, there will be calm. And there will be no
[00:02:31] escalation. And let's see how things are going. Everyone
[00:02:34] is waiting for God.
[00:02:53] Ali runs a small construction firm. Every
[00:02:57] morning, he starts with the news. For him, it's a matter of
[00:03:01] survival.
[00:03:09] For the past three years, the conflict between Lebanon and Israel has
[00:03:13] flared up and died down without
[00:03:15] warning.
[00:03:18] Now the daily lives of millions of Lebanese depend on the
[00:03:22] whims of
[00:03:22] politicians.
[00:04:34] Therefore, this
[00:04:40] close to the yellow
[00:04:41] humanity and all of line. That's what the Israelis call the
[00:04:45] buffer zone. It extends up to 10
[00:04:48] kilometers into Lebanese territory.
[00:05:00] used to work on
[00:05:03] They claim the line is intended to prevent attacks and
[00:05:06] destroy Hezbollah infrastructure.
[00:05:10] In reality, however, civilians avoid.
[00:05:46] The Lebanese have experienced two wars since
[00:05:49] 2023. Each time the conflict ended with the
[00:05:52] signing of an agreement that promised enduring and lasting peace.
[00:06:14] The war is rockets from Faghani. We entered.
[00:06:17] We stayed. Goats. Yes, we were in this village.
[00:06:27] al-Maqdush. It stopped. Then we came back here.
[00:07:14] Living by the yellow line is quite an ordeal, only the brave
[00:07:18] return to their homes, where children used to run
[00:07:21] around, now only herds of sheep rome.
[00:07:45] By God, my brother Mahdi, before the war, we used to work
[00:07:49] and build buildings. Now after the war, we are working on demolishing
[00:07:52] البنايات
[00:07:55] This building and that building, we are now demolishing them completely.
[00:07:59] So where are we going? No one knows.
[00:08:01] Their owners are heartbroken. What do they want to do? They are sitting. What do they want
[00:08:05] to do? They are watching these buildings being demolished in front of them.
[00:08:09] Before the war, we used to build, and after the war, we are now demolishing.
[00:08:23] I am the advanced priest Philip Habib
[00:08:26] Al-Aqla, servant of the parish of Jadideh
[00:08:30] Marjayoun, Al-Buwaydah, Dibbin, Balat for the Greek
[00:08:33] Orthodox. There is, of course, we are in an area
[00:08:37] called the red zone, and it is
[00:08:40] an area in direct contact.
[00:08:43] The Israelis are
[00:08:47] I am teaching
[00:08:50] I am teaching in the book
[00:08:53] to students, and they are not present in our class,
[00:08:56] and the reason is that
[00:08:59] the red zone where the area is subjected
[00:09:02] to shelling
[00:09:04] and and fire,
[00:09:07] and therefore most of our students
[00:09:11] left outside the area
[00:09:14] and were displaced to other areas because
[00:09:17] of the war. Therefore, we
[00:09:21] teach our children, we teach them through
[00:09:23] online.
[00:09:30] You are still in the Diocese of
[00:09:33] Jadideh Marjayoun for the Greek Orthodox, which
[00:09:37] has the Orthodox school that was built by
[00:09:41] the association.
[00:09:46] beautiful circular shape
[00:09:50] and the arches present here indicate
[00:09:53] that the good Russian imprints
[00:09:56] were placed in this area and in this Orthodox
[00:10:00] middle school for the Greek
[00:10:02] Orthodox.
[00:10:54] renewed.
[00:10:57] You have Israel sitting and
[00:11:00] following and waiting and monitoring any
[00:11:03] missile that falls from Iran on Israel. There is a very high probability that the war will be renewed here
[00:11:07] in Lebanon.
[00:12:26] They say Netanyahu will meet with Trump today at
[00:12:30] 7. Is it possible for something to happen here in Sidon? Yes, today at
[00:12:34] 6 PM there is a meeting. By God, my
[00:12:37] father, the situation does not reassure people. People are scared
[00:12:41] and
[00:12:44] people are terrified, meaning people are in a state of confusion, and they don't know whether to
[00:12:47] stay or leave, you know
[00:12:50] what I mean? So I prefer that we
[00:12:54] wait. And tell your sisters and so on that
[00:12:57] our hearts cannot bear it, meaning if there is shelling, the first strike, you should immediately
[00:13:01] keep your bags
[00:13:01] ready.
[00:13:08] We should not remain unprepared, and we should remain prepared
[00:13:12] to flee, to flee and escape
[00:13:15] because many people are killed, and whoever dies is gone.
[00:13:19] Nothing is clear. Come on, and now
[00:13:22] those who are dying are dying for nothing. We don't know if the situation is going towards calm or
[00:13:26] war.
[00:13:28] Come on, what else can you do? This
[00:13:32] is our life. God has decreed that we live in the South, and our life
[00:13:35] has been like this since we were born.
[00:13:38] And we got used to it.
[00:13:41] take a fresh look around at life colydoscopic isn't
[00:13:44] it a shattered reality distorted by
[00:13:48] power tired vision with no real
[00:13:52] opinions
[00:13:54] picture. was designed to simplify or confuse,
[00:13:58] who really wants a better world, and is it just for
[00:14:01] the chosen few?
[00:14:04] fractured images presented as fact, can you see
[00:14:07] through their illusions? going underground can,
[00:14:22] we need to counter the Russian state.
[00:14:59] And thank you all for your loyalty and support.
[00:15:18] attempts to establish a complete cease fire in Lebanon met with
[00:15:21] failure. Still, diplomats decided to test
[00:15:25] fragile formula in the village of Zatar al Gabia.
[00:15:28] These uniform men are members of the Lebanese army. They've been
[00:15:32] tasked with disarming Hezbollah soldiers and ensuring the
[00:15:35] return of civilians.
[00:16:25] Brothers, please, for God's sake, I understand you. He told you it's burned, but please,
[00:16:29] move back a little from the checkpoint. Come on, let the cars
[00:16:32] in. The cars, by God.
[00:16:36] Come on, do something.
[00:16:42] It's a very, very
[00:16:45] waiting for this feeling for five months. We have suffered
[00:16:49] injustice and oppression. We have suffered the loss of
[00:16:52] our children. We have suffered the loss of our homes
[00:16:57] pin means a lot to me because this is my heart, this
[00:17:01] is my son. This is a resistance fighter, a resistance fighter in Hezbollah.
[00:17:04] An Islamic resistance. He remained in his place
[00:17:08] and was martyred and sacrificed his blood for his land
[00:17:12] and for the liberation of this land
[00:17:15] and for all of Lebanon to live with dignity
[00:17:18] and honor, not for a specific person or a specific sect.
[00:17:22] We are defending all of Lebanon's land, and we are proud
[00:17:25] of our martyrs, and we are proud of our martyrs.
[00:17:28] And praise be to God, their blood has begun to bear fruit.
[00:17:31] Victory.
[00:17:43] We've been waiting for a long time to enter. This entry. Now, there is a feeling of
[00:17:47] victory that we enter at our leisure
[00:17:50] as we please. But thank God, we are happy that we can enter
[00:17:54] and see what our homes are like, what the village
[00:17:58] is like. Let's smell it a little, see it, feel it, I mean.
[00:18:02] Just.
[00:19:10] Look, we put it on him.
[00:19:31] Sacrifice for the sake of the resistance. Sacrifice for the sake of the most sacred martyr,
[00:19:35] Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah.
[00:19:46] so the destruction is massive,
[00:19:49] but you hear everywhere, so you ask the
[00:19:52] people, you here we are with the
[00:19:54] resistant, and we are not going to
[00:19:58] change our mind just because of this unhuman
[00:20:02] actions
[00:20:05] of Israeli of. army and
[00:20:09] the Israel policy buse is
[00:20:12] policy it's don't mean to to them
[00:20:15] nothing all of the
[00:20:19] the human
[00:20:20] rights
[00:20:23] they just need to take power of the
[00:20:27] region and take the people
[00:20:30] to to live as a slave under their
[00:20:34] rules.
[00:20:39] People hoped to return to their homes, but all they found upon
[00:20:43] arrival were ruins. Bewildered, they
[00:20:46] wandered among the rubble, having retrieved few...
[00:21:00] We have a monastery here called Our Lady
[00:21:03] of the Annunciation, Zawtar Al-Gharbi. Of course, we entered
[00:21:06] and saw a lot of destruction. We saw a lot of devastation,
[00:21:09] unfortunately. And here, we go back to the idea of the Jew
[00:21:13] or the Israeli, that he does not differentiate between a monastery
[00:21:16] or a church or a mosque, you know. Important.
[00:21:20] That he achieves what he desires and what he wants.
[00:21:23] And this is unfortunately
[00:21:25] what we mean.
[00:21:29] After the 2006 war, when it was
[00:21:33] rebuilt, we came back in 2024 and we had
[00:21:36] some more destruction. We rebuilt
[00:21:39] and now we need to rebuild again, and now the percentage has increased significantly
[00:21:43] more. So
[00:21:46] continuity is always our motto. We despair.
[00:22:27] the people are still working.
[00:22:29] What do you want
[00:22:34] to put?
[00:22:34] He and Khaled, focus with me here. We need to
[00:22:38] wallpaper them, but focus, Khaled, for sure. And here we need
[00:22:41] to make them 100%. Come and see them.
[00:23:00] far from calm, but despite all the warnings,
[00:23:03] some brave souls have started to repair the damaged
[00:23:06] buildings,
[00:23:31] the owner of this building
[00:23:35] is a brave man who took a courageous stance. I testify to his
[00:23:38] stance. I mean, we started building this building
[00:23:42] before the war. But when the truce happened, he immediately
[00:23:46] called me and told me that he wanted to continue working to encourage.
[00:23:56] If the war started again, and now there will be some loss
[00:24:00] for me, I have no problem. I want to get into this issue and work and continue.
[00:25:22] That's why we decided to keep
[00:25:25] praying and keep standing firm in this town.
[00:25:40] After the dome of the church
[00:25:43] was hit by a rocket,
[00:25:46] the dome was damaged and the bell, which
[00:25:50] electricity, was damaged. We insist on ringing
[00:25:54] the bells so that
[00:25:57] everyone knows that our bells will continue
[00:26:00] to ring for prayer.
[00:26:02] And to raise them for the establishment of peace throughout
[00:26:06] Lebanon and the whole world. This is our message from the
[00:26:10] Orthodox Church in Jadideh Marjayoun. We are preachers
[00:26:13] of peace, preachers of love,
[00:26:16] everyone to adhere to all
[00:26:19] legal and international values and principles. Our church
[00:26:23] always prays and loves
[00:26:26] peace. Pray for us so that
[00:26:29] peace may be spread.
[00:26:32] Among us and throughout the world.
[00:27:01] Yes, my friend. My dear, how are you? I hope everything is
[00:27:04] fine. Yes, by God, I just finished
[00:27:09] home. Yes, by God, thank God we worked today, but I'm very tired.
[00:27:14] exhaustion. But when you sit down to follow
[00:27:16] these news, your spirits get tired. Oh, my friend,
[00:27:20] physical exhaustion is easy, but you have to
[00:27:23] keep following to see what's happening
[00:27:27] work normally tomorrow morning or if you'll have to go back and hide
[00:27:30] your excavators and remove your
[00:27:34] heavy machinery from the area because the situation is still not
[00:27:38] stable at all. We keep following up constantly, my friend, how beautiful physical exhaustion is compared to mental
[00:27:41] exhaustion.
[00:29:34] "I think that this hegemonic
[00:29:37] kind of mindset is deeply
[00:29:40] and within Donald Trump's
[00:29:42] personality. He think that the American of course is
[00:29:46] is is still the the greatest most powerful country on the
[00:29:50] planet and and the United States according to
[00:29:54] his him and his followers has been short
[00:29:57] changed byen by his allies so it's
[00:30:00] now um incumbent. need to change
[00:30:03] that uh by maximizing American's dominance.
[00:30:20] Donald Trump announces there's an energy cease fire between Moscow
[00:30:24] and Kiev just today after saying Ukraine needs a new leader.
[00:30:28] While Russia has yet to comment, Vladimir Zelensky is caught by surprise, saying
[00:30:31] Kief will agree. if Moscow does the
[00:30:33] same.
[00:30:36] Saudi defenses intercept another cruise missile near
[00:30:39] Riyad's main airport. That's after the futhis warn against anyone
[00:30:43] using Saudi airspace following their devastating strike on the airport
[00:30:47] which left 12 people dead and more than 300 wounded.
[00:30:50] If he's confirmed to see they were behind the
[00:30:53] attack. These attacks are yemeny attacks.
[00:30:56] We do not do this out of revenge or to take vengeance but rather.
