a list of all with ah, ah, read russian service men die in a ukrainian drone attack on their base in the central russian region of sorta wanting disturbing images with a group of ukrainian sub is killed by russia security service while attempting to cross into russian territory. the group hard to western supply equipment, as well as improvised explosive devices in the us army set to deploy around a 120 crazy ballistic without which are able to change the direction to reply with

from moscow to the world. this is our international, my name is peter scott and this is how that. busy is looking at 7 pm cisco time. thanks for joining us. we start this hour in central rushes south of beach and where the country's defense ministry has confirmed the death of 3 service men following a drone attack by ukrainian forces. now the 2nd time that base has been targeted this month, as ortiz from a cost ref explains. according to the russian at defense ministry, it deploys air defense systems in the city of angleton serrato region against a ukrainian drone that's i tried to at sack a strategic air field in that region. as a result, 3 military personnel had been killed after that attack. now is the 2nd such attack of ukraine using a drone against this air field. on the 5th of december, 3 people were killed and 4 people were wounded at the same place in place when ukraine attacked the same airfield. now, according to the governor of the region,

a panic ensued right away in local social media. as the fake news began to spread regarding an evacuation of all local residents and massive damage to civilian infrastructure. now, according to the governor, oldest use was a fake, and it was been spreaded from outside of the region and even outside of the country, according to the hacker, to published this her information on a lot of for information regarding the placements of russian strategic her bombers and her naval fleets and the other military positions or importance have been leaked and that information is being used by ukraine and in this instance as well. and this is a quiet said dangerous because this could provoke her nuclear response because of this particular airport houses strategic bombers that are capable of carrying

nuclear weapons. and according to russia's doctrine, if it says fatigue, co, nuclear forces are being attacked. and that could mean that could make, that allows russia to provide a nuclear response. so ukraine is indeed playing with the fire here by trying to attack a russian strategic air force. this comes as russia's domestic security service, the f s b has killed 4 ukrainian summit, thirst as they were trying to cross the russian border in the bounced region on monday. i want in the fallen images are disturbing. the f s b says that the ukranian southern 3rd group had foreign supplied weapons including german machine guns, and ammunition, as well as west made communication and navigation devices. the group was apparently planning terrorist attacks on the russian territory. they were found with 4 improvised explosive devices, with a capacity the equipment around 40 kilograms of

t, n, t, and over to asia. now where india is defense forces are set to deploy around a $120.00 domestically produced quays. i ballistic missiles along his borders with pakistan and china on the correspondence. when do sharma has more indian defense? that is she half scared to procurement over on $120.00 bullet, taking the files for the indian forces to be deployed in the india, china, india, pakistan border. now these are indigenous. he develop dublin stick the science and they've been tested troy successfully. 7 last year, in fact, for 2 consecutive days, they were destined on 21st and 22nd december 2021. and these are super powerful boosting the father began talking about. these are self with the surface in the south. a vacant heated target around 150 to 500 kilometer that we also can carry around 350 to 700 pages of high green explosives.

so of course, a very, very far for losing the on the are talking to volunteer. also this development of a procurement of clarence law on $120.00 ballistic sized guns at a time when the defense forces in india are already working towards a dedicated rule. it force now force design development, seen as big by defense watches ukraine's president has sent out a christmas greeting through citizens despite the funds the most ukrainians are orthodox and they celebrate the holiday in january. volume is zalinski used the event to focus on the miniature conflicts in the country. they are going liberally. wherever we are to night, we will be together. and together, we will look up into the evening sky and together, who will remember the morning of february 24th. remember how much we have gone

through. let's remember as of style, your pen boucher cram. a torso is meaning china by africa is zoom hair san. we will make a wish one for all, and we will feel joy, one for all he. and we will understand the truth. one for all that know cammie kazi drones can extinguish the advent star. we will see it shine even under ground in the bomb shelters which you mazda lensky has previously called on ukrainians to mart christmas in december, in defiance of russia, which celebrates on january the 7th catholics. another western christian believers are a minority in ukraine, on some zalinski critic say he simply trying to pondered to the religious agendas of his western patrons. give has recently cut down on the orthodox church in the country, accusing him of having links with moscow. an ancient monastery in ukrainian capital called the key of her chest lover has been rated, and some of his members of the church were detained uncharged, with treason which they deny ukraine security services have questioned,

a 100 people in the ongoing prob, earlier we spoke to war correspondent thomas roper. he says that these christmas, the events in ukraine have one goal. i think this is part of the propaganda. so it's for the west. you know, the west people have to see it's christmas near the chest level of lap and whatever . and russians are fighting ukraine, so i think it's, it's really just a propaganda reason for, for the government public in the west. not as much as for ukraine because the ukrainians, well, they wouldn't care about this because this is not, not their christmas right now. we have like, like i think 2 percent of christian stuff which are not orthodox there. so it's, it's for me, it's a show for the rest. right now in ukraine, they're using everything to, to say to, to be anti russian. it isn't that what, whether they are prohibited speaking russian to, to people who are ethnic russians, whether they are talking about the orthodox moscow church and,

and all the stuff. so this is just in the, in the line of all these anti russian measures which are happening ukraine not just after beginning of the russian military operation. but even though since 2014. so i see just just a roll of, of all these anti russian events in ukraine in the news. 5 western countries have reportedly issued an ultimatum to belgrade to leave barricades in northern kosovo by the end of the day and said he fails to act. christina will be given permission to use force to end the stand off, implement your to meet them, comes amid shootings in the north of kosovo. in the early hours of the morning. castillo's the special forces allegedly tried to dismantle serbian barriers and are said to fled, falling warning shots, fly by local serbs, customers. the media claims that local start to be offensive, shooting a troops that had been deployed to the region. so been lead, alexander, which is called an emergency meeting, miss sponsors escalates intentions, and sent the top general to the disputed border, while increasing belgrade miniature presence their sanctioned sled enrolling

castillo early this month. when the local cert majority blocked roads leading to the capitol. christina, the move was in process of the arrest of a permanent serv, national, a former police officer who was accused of attacking acosta vote. law enforcement to patrol by kates, have now been in place for 17 days and protested, demanding the release of their compatriots. withdrawal of kosovo police unit from the north as well as an end to what they call the oppression of served by christina . i discussed the crisis with belgrade bass, professor yvonne diet here in the studio, or black with all those will. this is one of the provocations i guess are done again by the cosmo being authorities. so what they are doing is they're constantly provoking the serbs and for some reason they want to escalate. i don't know why, because this is not in the interest of neither the serve nor the albanian local population. so there obviously must be an agenda behind this. it all started with

serbs withdrawing from the concerns are here in trim institutions, which happened was followed by the albania authorities not fulfilling the brussels agreements for almost 10 years. they have signed it and ratified it twice in their parliament, but they don't want to a stablish the so called community of serbia municipalities. so the serbs out of protests left the institutions and then the albanian majorities diffusions started to arrest the serbian policemen who were in their system. but it seems that the serbs are been blamed for this. why, why do you think that is because unfortunately, what we call an international community, which i think is a rather racist term because it always only applies to their political west. so because they treat serbia and serves as enemies and have been treating us like for

the last i say 30 years because in every single conflict on the policy was love space and they were against the serbs. the main, a mistake maybe by the serbian government is to other good will let the negotiation process go down from the level of the united nations to level of the european union, which was constantly behaving as a side in the conflict and not as a on bias. you know, by standard that is trying to mediate between the sides 30. i have a right according to the un resolution, 1244 to a to bring in some soldiers and policeman. so this is an obligation by nato to provide this for the 1st time in last monday, 3 years of serbia has officially fully off for that. i must say in 2003 prime ministers, orange. it was talking about that, but he was murdered. that's another,

a very interesting issue. however, this is the 1st time the serbia has officially ostler, that m k 4 is thinking about the issue. so they did not give a straight answer about that because they can't reject it. but they don't want the serbian, a forces protecting the local serbs which they have every right to do. but for some reason i've included that is escalating. i don't know if he wants to drag serbia into into a conflict because it's a shirley seems like that. and in this international environment, he probably sees the opportunity why? because therapy is the only country in europe for one of the few that did not impose any sanctions against russia, where you know, 80 to 90 percent of, of population supports russia for historical reasons for, you know, they also identify with the same situation with this villain ization that is, that is made by the global western media and so on. so it seems to me that serves

are being treated as an enemy constantly, which is why we see these double standards, which i have, i can't even call them that was that level sanders, because it is a standard that saw that we, that, that we were mistreated in, in the international environment the moving on now, moscow is prepared to resume gas supplies to the e. u to help alleviate the blocks fuel crisis. that's according to the deputy prime minister alexander nova. he does oversee russia's energy sector. the european market remains relevant as the gas shortage persists, and we have every opportunity to resume supplies. for example, the em all europe pipeline, which was stopped for political reasons, remains unused. they come this off to a number of european media outlets. reports concern over skyrocketing energy bills, as a gust price cut policy supplies, but the fires, the european central bank has warned that the continence is placed in itself. it's a financial risk on importing allen g for more expensive produces like the u. s.

while the international energy agency has also sounded the alarm if pipeline imports to the european union from russia dropped to 0 in 2023 and chinese l n g demand rebounds to 2021 levels. then the european union faces a serious supply demand gap opening up in 2023. the additional investment required to implement the actions described in this report is around $100000000000.00 euros . the coming year presents clear risks to energy security and affordability in europe. and beyond all a number of top european officials, including the french presidents on germany's economy minister have blamed the sky prices on american energy impulse. it over the, i think book who didn't even experience a great friendship. we will say to our american, in norwegian, friends, your super, you supplies with energy and gas. but one thing that can go on for too long is us paying 4 times more than the price you sell to your industry. that is not exactly the meaning of friendship. some countries, even friendly ones,

are achieving astronomical prices. in some cases, this naturally brings problems with it which we have to talk about. the u. s. turned to us when oil prices shut up and as a result, national oil reserves were also tapped in europe. i think such solid garrity would also be good for curbing gas prices. american liquefied natural gas spots are up 137 percent this year with the countries applying more than half of europe's imported and g. according to the u. s. energy information administration around $35000000000.00 more have poured into american coffers from the e. u in 2022. so from a point $3000000000.00 back in $21.00. was to discuss this just crisis in europe. that's cross live now. so, i mean, are you an economic consultant from about morocco? i mean, thanks so much for joining us today. now, what do you make of this timing of moscow's offer to get gas flowing back to europe? while we're with, with drop in temperatures in europe. actually,

russia is always, is trying to get house full hand to europe and mitigate the financial crisis. europe is actually struggling right now. and with the, with the high prices that the american g is costs in europe. there they should be looking for other sources of real energy. they're in the winter months. and russia actually trying to, to give them a helping hand. do you think that europe is likely to accept this offer and do some more of a huge increase dust supplies from russia given the cold winter had some of the troubles that european people are facing. i, as you know, with the, with the crane russian, the crisis with the 2022 european governments. he's not actually think about the cost of actually given

a hard time to russia and the ties with which i think with the, with the, with the, with the financial crisis coming up next year, 2023 european governments will actually put more scrutiny on the, on decisions to buy where to get their, their g and s, and they think american gas and would, you guess, although they're most of those that 2 countries are supply and spot market supplies. i think the european governments need to think twice about their next supplier. so how sustainable is it for europe to, to keep buying this american l n. g given the fact that they, they spent, i think that's 5000000000 dollars this year on impulse of american and g. how long can they keep that up for? why i don't think it's gonna, i mean it's financially speaking. it doesn't make sense, especially with the, with the, as i said, the, with the financial crisis and the they can amik the issue that you're struggling

with. and it's probably going to be struggling with within the next day when the international energy agency has suggested that renewables on heat pumps codes of set some of the problem at least. how effective do you think they are? and do you think you should switch to green energy sooner or is it just no competition compared to fossil fuels? i mean, countries are trying to switch chagrin and early, but this is going to take years and years because after the corporate crisis, the elements that actually made like energy materials such as though there is a need for mining, there's a need for, for elements that actually make, for example, solar panels and the destruction of the supply chain globally. this is going to be taken so many years, actually to, to, to change from the russian gas to grid energy. this is not going to be easy. i

certainly won't be, i mean, or you can, i'm a consultant for robots. morocco, thanks very much for your input to down the program. thank you. thank you, sir. you know the news chinese president, she's paying hazards health officials to take steps to protect lives, as kind of drops it's 0 coven policy. that present coven, 19 prevention and control in china are facing a new situation in new tasks. we should launch the patriotic health campaign in a more targeted way, fortify a community line of defense for epidemic prevention and control, and effectively protect people's lives, safety and health. medical stuff say that hospitals are struggling to cope with the influx of patients. a local chinese correspondence brought this this report from major hospital in to ensure that as many patients as possible, treat it or medical pest now, so it works around clog with full combat effect. so this is the emergency

department seemed to hand jonah hospital. quite a few people can be seen clean up here, and many of them are waiting to see doctors that we have seen a significant increase in the number of patients in intensive care. in addition, the proportion of severely ill patients has increased while mildly ill patients have remained at home a month or severely your patients, mercer them out elise with underlying diseases. mathias always treat for child is one of thirst waiting to receive treatment. and the son feels anxious. i was eligible. my father was in very critical condition at home if he can be admitted to the ward in time. i don't even want to imagine what could happen in the bits to leave no patience on the 10 deaths. the emergency department has been trying to make the most of that build in space. these used to be meg and c observation room. as you can see it as being convergent through our buffer drawing for critically ill

patients to stay. sorcery richer their weight in time. luckily chicken child was soon trans fats into this beth, as aren't to get medical care, i seen my father serious condition. the doctors took him to one of the bats with there won't be some challenges, entreating and curing him since he's so old. but we'll, we'll do our best. the team has been working nonstop, including me as well, with no rest at all. can you give us some help? yeah, he is the head nurse here. she has just requested to accelerate the grain tional creation for hospital admissions. she taught me the baton numbers in the recesses taisha room where she works have recently increased from 7 to 15 to accommodate the are the long woman see now notice we're trying to create a smoother channel to get patients hospitalized. only with good flow. can our emergency department treat more patients, shots and a waiting time for space on a ward, hospitals across the country have been increased in their intensive care capacity.

jona hospital has deborah with is i see you bad. and chief, which hong has just been informed that he will be hospitalized in 1004. soon after finishing all the paperwork, please go to the nurses station. they will arrange admission. oh no, his father to be in meetings takes a weight on fees. sure does helix very emotional. seeing him happy makes me feel really great. oh he, we feel like we're so lucky. i'm so excited. if something had happened to him because i didn't handle the situation. well, i don't know how i would ever have been able to forgive myself, just like they, patient, family members, metal where it has a determined to save every life because of age with difficulty or danny sealed the press you still there, but we have overcome difficulties brought by the outbreak 3 years ago with the experience where confident that we can overcome the challenges together with the

patient's medical supplies in china. 1 also working around the clock, doubling their production capacity to meets hospital buns after surgeon cases. and as you know, oxygen is crucial in treating covered in face of patients that yet we heard from workers at the factory in china, remain positive in spite of the difficulties. well, provide over a 1000 medical oxygen dollars and about a 100 to quick gas for a medical institutions challenge here. your i just recovered a few days ago, my brothers to and we're back to work at full steam window of your content. i think of as, as transporters of the gas of life, i'm glad to be of service to the people of beijing. in staying with china, the country has deepened its economic ties with zimbabwe decided to invest in the african countries, lithium industry. now this comes despite the ban on ra lithium exports by africa's

largest lithium producer, the exports of zimbabwe. a lithium can only be granted with the permission of the minister of mines and mining developments. mining of the elements has become one of the main industries in zimbabwe in recent years is global demand for them in or spikes. the chinese electric company, g, l. c has announced a recent deal that we'll see, invest in the african countries. lithium industry is says that the corporation was in by way, will enhanced it's competitiveness at a global level with at least half a 1000000 tons of lithium reserves. in my way is becoming an attractive prospects for investment. zimbabwe has the largest lithium reserves in africa and the 5th largest in the world. the metal makes up nearly 60 percent of the country's exports, and 16 of its g. d p. according to the z bobby government, the country loses around $1800000000.00 a year in revenue due to smuggling and unregulated exports. as in bobby an mp explain to archie the reasons behind the governor's decision to bundle lithium

exports. and he said the relations with the west are not allowing africa to develop we are talking just from one mineral, we is africa a talking or for a budgetary support from the will to bank, which has not been availed for the construction of inga dim which can produce about $40000.00 megawatts enough to feed the energy sector for the wall of africa. but because the well to bank is them actually money to buy the ist well colonizers, they do not want to africa to grow. so the is need to use what we have is africans to get what we can get to in power, our sector, because we, we are sanctioned by the global community as, sorry, by the americans in the east. well, colonizers, they would definitely not want to zimbabwe to benefit much from both the early f m . and from there, you bickered us amount of mineral wealth. and finally,

the russian lead commonwealth of independent states members are stepping on trade in the national currencies. the president putin has praised join an ongoing yet informal summit of the c s leaders in st. petersburg. but on the some good, steadier states had become more active in using national currency to mutual settlements, was aimless correct in the commonwealth. we have coordinated our efforts to work on import substitution, mold and to enhance technological sovereignty and independence was an issue to work together all in haunting, industrial and scientific capacities. for your 1st and foremost, the russian president vladimir putin has specifically underlined the unofficial nature of this event. that basically it's not a summit in the traditional sense of the word, but rather something more resembling a gathering of good friends. well friends in very much high in power, but there's that the timing of the event is hardly coincidental to you can clearly see the massive christmas tree behind me. and so this is something that well is

coinciding with this event. and basically it is something over of the end of the year, resolutions for the leaders of the c i a states and on opportunity to draw the road map for 2023. now you've already had the russian leader talking about deepening economic ties, the turnover, the global turnover being spectacularly massive between russia and russia. c. i. s counterpart nations aids to well over a $100000000000.00. so this is something impressive and this is something that the russian lead and his counterparts are looking to even deepen and to expand now the corporation are in the cultural sense has been growing as well. for instance, 2023 has already been announced to become the year of the russian language in the sierra states and the russia leader has a whole heartedly fagged. his counterparts for we're taking this decision now. the

russian lead of latimer pope, he did not admit the fact that the relation by the relations between some serious nations aren't exactly perfect. and he am, of course, talking about armenian deserved by john the 2 nations as close to war as ever i especially since 22 and see when the actual war broke out between them over the control over the gone a car back now also 2022 has seen clashes on the border between the on the border between to jake is done and kerry gets done. but according to vladimir putin, there's no other option. is it to the, there's no other option, excuse me, but to i and these things out and move forward. well, that's a wrap a for now, for more on any of those stories as well as the latest updates unused to check out our websites r t dot com. i'm peter scott. i bought with another log in around 30 minutes time. hope. see that
