Trying to get to syria, hoping for a safe spot. Hello. It was a rare public appearance by ayatollah ali khamenei, the spiritual leader of iran, and he used it to justify his Countrys Missile Attack this week on israel. He claimed the barrage of ballistic missiles was completely legal and the minimum Punishment Israel deserved for what he called its astonishing crimes for the first time in nearly five years, the ayatollah was delivering Friday Prayers at the Grand Mosque in tehran. He called israel a Vampire Regime and the United States a rabid dog. Meanwhile, us president Joe Biden has said in the last hour that he doesnt think israel has yet decided how to respond to the iranian attacks. He said it should look for other alternatives rather than hitting iranian oil facilities. Another development is that the us military have attacked 15 Houthi Targets in yemen. Houthi rebels, like hezbollah and hamas, are backed by iran. And in lebanon, thereve been more israeli Air Strikes targeting h
But now prosecuting authorities are looking at evidence submitted by The Brothers last year which claimed they were sexually abused by their father and acted in self defence. The case has attracted renewed attention partly because its a Hit Series on netflix. A documentary on the Case Due to be released next week promises to delve deeper into the case. Lets hear now from the Los Angeles District attorney. What i want to make very clear we have not conceded one way or the other, we are not saying there was anything wrong with the original trial. We have been given evidence, none of this information has been confirmed, we, at this point are not ready to say that we either believe or do not believe that information. This is the reaction from the menendez brothers attorney. I think its time, their family think its time. I believe what you saw today from District Attorney gascon that he has taken, i think a rather bold step in that he has said, he will make the final decision. It may not be
Hezbollah is part of the political game here in lebanon. It is almost the only party that is, you know, armed and lebanon and also has representation in the parliament. But has engaged in fights and conflict with israel since it started in 19805 until this latest confrontation that we are living these days. Frank, a lot of people i think certainly after the attack we saw a couple of nights ago, that unprecedented attack in terms of Scale And Size that iran launched on israel. One question which people are asking is why did iran Attack Israel and will israel now Attack Iran . Ok, so this really goes back to april the 1st, when the israeli Air Force carried out an airstrike on Irans Consulate in damascus, killing a number of Iranian Revolutionary Guards officers, including allegedly the man who was coordinating the flow of arms from iran through syria to hezbollah in lebanon. And that was an attack on a diplomatic premise, the international outrage was pretty muted. Iran said it would re
And this attack came with no warning. We went to inspect the damage. A residential building near the lebanese parliament. Beirut appears increasingly under threat. This is where an emergency response group linked to hezbollah operated, now gone. There were just emergency service workers. This is the truth. We only saw them helping people out, says mustafa, who lives on the tenth floor of the building hit. The damage in this building gives you a sense of the power of this attack, and they ve been cleaning up the rubble here, but we can still see some surgical masks and gloves and bandages as well. And you can probably hear the sound of drones flying overhead. This is a densely populated district here in central beirut. Hasan, who s a teacher, has lived in this neighbourhood for 2h years. There was no hezbollah presence here, military or civilian, he tells me. Hezbollah wasn t present here. These are some of the victims of the attack. They include one rescue officer and two paramedics. T
