RT on Odysee

From protecting cities to safeguarding flocks and traditions – Inland Visions heads to Russia’s southernmost city, where 40 ethnic groups have lived side by side for generations. Discover the secret to life in Derbent, and get a taste of the local language! Do you know the meaning of ‘magal’, ‘botishal’, and ‘chaban’?

Everything is coming apart at the seams. Once long-held assumptions about the international order no longer apply. Today the very idea of international law has been pushed aside in favor of naked aggression. Treaty alliances don’t count for much. Even worse, many elites no longer fear war.

CrossTalking with Daniel McAdams, Jenin Younes, and Tyler Nixon.

The European Union is hit with major protests – the Spanish government collapses over a housing crisis, French students clash with police over education underfunding, in Germany people protest against militarisation and a dire economic situation. What would you do as a leader of any of those countries? Choose: go to Ukraine and pledge more money like Friedrich Merz did or test a new missile like Emmanuel Macron. RT's Europe correspondent Chay Bowes joins Rick Sanchez in a big mockery conversation of these poor elites. And in the second part, Fadi Lama, author of “Why the West Can't Win: From Bretton Woods to a Multipolar World” tells Rick why Europe and the United States, despite all their colonial and hawkish policies, can’t win against the emerging multipolar world.

Saudi Arabia declared its Yemen campaign a success just one month after launching Operation Decisive Storm in 2015. Seven more years of fighting followed and the Houthis emerged stronger.

Ivan Zhdanov traces the war’s turning points: Ali Abdullah Saleh’s fatal split with the Houthis, missile and drone strikes on Saudi Arabia, infighting inside the coalition, and Washington’s decision to end support for offensive operations. A look at how the previous war unfolded and what it means for renewed fighting.

It was three years ago today that the world watched as Hamas launched the October 7th attack on Israel. Official reports say that more than 1,200 people were killed and 251 people taken hostage. You've seen so much news coverage of this event called one of the deadliest days in Israel's history, even Israel's own 9/11. And what followed would devastate Gaza. Israel responded with a massive military campaign, airstrikes, a ground invasion, and years of war that goes on to this day. Vast areas of Gaza were reduced to rubble. Nearly the entire population at this point has been displaced. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed, and the questions tonight that remain unanswered. How did Hamas pull off an attack of that scale against one of the most sophisticated security states in the world? Israel's own investigations have since documented catastrophic intelligence and military failures. So the question tonight is not whether or not Israel failed. We now know that it did. The question is, did Israel intentionally fail to create a reason for such an aggressive response into Gaza? America Now anchor Ben Swan and investigative journalist Abraham Michaels discuss what exactly happened on that fateful day in 2023.

In this episode of India, Russia and the World, Runjhun Sharma, Head of News at RT India, speaks with V. Anantha Nageswaran, Chief Economic Advisor to the Government of India.

Nageswaran calls India's 2047 Viksit Bharat goal "audacious" and unprecedented for a democracy of its size. He addresses the delayed India-US trade deal, tariffs, energy uncertainty and the rupee's depreciation, and explains why some of these headwinds could prove a "blessing in disguise", with energy uncertainty helping India diversify its energy sources and tariffs pushing it to broaden its export footprint.

He also discusses India-Russia trade and says that the $100 billion bilateral trade target signals intent and could create the conditions to expand the relationship further.

Three years after October 7, Martin Sherman, head of the Israel Institute of Strategic Studies, joins Palestinian journalist and peace activist Rami Aman and Gaza-born journalist Shadi Abdelrahman for a heated debate over Israel’s war in Gaza.

Sherman calls Israel’s response ‘under-proportionate.’ Aman describes Hamas’s crackdown on his peace activism and argues that Palestinian civilians are paying the price for both sides. Abdelrahman challenges Sherman over civilian deaths and questions what a ceasefire means while attacks continue.

The panel also debates Netanyahu’s responsibility for October 7, Palestinian displacement, Trump’s peace plan and whether new leadership could open a path to peace.

Could the Houthis cripple Saudi Arabia’s economy in 24 hours? Yemeni journalist Hussein al-Bukhaiti makes that claim and Saudi political researcher Khaled Batarfi pushes back.
The two clash over attacks on Saudi airports and oil infrastructure, shipping through Bab al-Mandeb, the Saudi-Turkish-Pakistani defence alliance and responsibility for Yemen’s humanitarian crisis. What would it take to end the conflict?

With the U.S. Midterm election looming, it’s high time to make predictions. American political commentator and comedian Bobby Sausalito joins the discussion - but there’s nothing funny this time, especially for Donald Trump. Rick and Bobby agree that the Democrats will probably prevail this time, as Trump ‘lied too much’. Mr. Sausalito says Trump has forgotten all the pledges he made and instead has followed the same rhetoric his predecessors had. Rick and Bobby both call the U.S. political system ‘one-party’ and a shame compared to those in BRICS countries.
