a trick. skepticism was running high in the ukrainian capital. as the start time of moscow's declared cease fire approached people here. so numerous missile attacks over the new year's period and expectations were low. oh yeah, no coil. i think the cease fire is irrelevant as it will only be another chance for the russians to attack ukraine with missiles 3 gentlemen with alliance weekly. neither you can never trust them, never. they do nothing to join whatever they promised they don't deliver them because they said that wouldn't be a war. however, let's say one thing, one day and another the next of those. we don't just them when it again, shortly after it was announced on thursday, keith rejected the truce saying it was a stunt by moscow to buy time to reinforce troops before the cease fire was due to

come into effect. russian missiles rained down on the southern city of his own ukrainian authority, say one rescue worker was killed and for others injured. and in the east of the country, rockets slammed into a residential building in the city of climate. hoist. many of the units fighting for russia in the dumbass said they would not recognize the ceasefire in a message published on line. dennis, pushin the head of the self proclaimed don, it's people's republic roads. there can be no talk of any truce. our president's decision, as an orthodox person refers to the orthodox people who go to church to attend the service on the feast of the nativity of christ. for obvious reasons, we do not consider the leadership of the rest of ukraine to be orthodox. and just as the truce was set to kickin, there were reports of heavy artillery far from both sides and the eastern town of

bach moot. ukraine blamed russia while moscow quickly pointed the finger at keith. his mother alissa begin, it was like the fact that the russian military observed to cease fire to day january 6 from 12 pm. moscow time. the key regime continued shelling residential areas and positions of russian troops. if there is, if there was the unilateral cease fire would have been the 1st complete loughlen fighting since russia invaded in february 2022. but keith says the only way to restore peace in the country is for russian troops to leave ukraine. or for more on this we asked our correspondence. sonya found the car in keith about the status of this cease fire in name only. it's been a very shaky ceasefire and hasn't really held, you know, i mean, less than an hour after that cease fire was supposed to take hold. we saw this widespread air read alert across almost almost across the country in the key region,

but across the entire country. and even though there were no actual missile strikes, these arid alerts can be very disruptive. we. we saw people scrambling to get to eric shelters, and that area to load lasted for 2 hours and also elsewhere in the country. the u. crated media has been reporting off of incidence that the governor of the city of california in southern ukraine has talked about one rescue worker being killed after russian forces. he said, you know, shell to fire station and come across in the eastern don. yes. robbins. we've also heard of russian fire, you know, damaging an entire residential neighborhood with many private homes damaged though there are no reports casualties. and of course, as the report mentioned, you know, there's been a, there's been no let up in hostilities on the frontline in the east in the, in the eastern city of buck ruth, in particular, which, where we're seeing some of the bloodiest fighting in this campaign. residents have told ukrainian media that you know, there has been no pause in the sound of fighting and found explosions,

gaining ground among allowed group of hard drive republicans blocking his path. he still needs to convince several more that he is the right man for the job. mccarthy and his allies have worked tirelessly to get to this point, but he has relinquished a tremendous amount of power to the fringe of his party. ultimately diminishing the speakership, he has promised them powerful positions and to cut defense spending that would impact the war in ukraine. the international community, as well, may be concerned with what has transpired inside the capital this week, leading to questions whether they will be able to re eggs to global crisis. this fight only leads to wonder if the democratic institutions here in the united states will hold up over the next 2 years. now,

a cocktail now has major rivals. it doesn't have the, the hedge a monic strength that it had in mexico in the past. and so this blow on the level of the cartel hierarchy is not the highest ranks of cartels. he's not the one who was calling all the shots. in fact, his older brothers are really in a far more powerful position as well as other leaders that were left within the similar cartel. so in that sense, we don't expect to see an immediate dismantling or weakening of this in a low cartel. in fact, when we look at the overall effect of an act like this of the rest of the deal, man, we expect it to be negative, negative for public security and safety in mexico with no substantial or perhaps even none whatsoever effect on the float on this address to the united states, and this is simply because this war on drugs model of taking out the drug lords

while leaving the structures, including the huge demand in the united states in place, doesn't work. it never has worked anywhere and certainly never worked in mexico since it was launched at the end of the year, 2006. and so we really are many experts. and those of us who have been studying this issue for years here in mexico are not expecting a positive outcome from this arrest. unfortunately, that was lower health and talking to us a little earlier. well, many christians around the world have celebrated epiphany, also known as 3 kings day, among other. the 6th of january marks the baptism of jesus as nether nazareth, rather in the jordan river by john the baptist, according to christian belief. oh, in the greek hava city, perez, and elsewhere believe is celebrated by plunging into the water and rising to it to
