with good afternoon. good evening, wherever you are in the world. welcome to our c internationally. i just want to am here in the russian capital and i was always, it's great to have you with us. i'm off tomorrow. let's take a look at today's top stories. i'll force 1st headline, one person has been repulsive, killed, and 2 others wounded in the later cleaning shilling of residential areas in the city of damascus. this footage shows the moment apartment building was hit by a rocket attack. the show frog was appeared to be from a service design. the dr rocker. the mass said that the credit men fired at the 16 of those projectiles into the city and the ledges sharing local officials. the colonel forces have been increasing artillery attacks on residential areas.

allegations are bouncing heaves government as denied we heard from a resident who was lucky to survive after a shot exploded near start, which is a big mamma with when you get a digital ukrainian military continues to target civilians on a daily basis here in the people's republic right now i'm in it sounds of yes you nevada satellite c c o for republic, capital donetta. now this house here was completely destroyed. the woman that spoke with, she says she was making dumplings late at night and then this

explosion took place, repeal i believe i was making something some then there was a now bang. initially, i couldn't even understand whether i'm scared or not. i waited for a beep and then leaked out of the window so my kitchen was in fire. it was dark already, so i couldn't see what exactly was blown up. i called the emergency services immediately they quickly arrived and began putting out the fire. a has been on the korean shelling every single day right now. as i'm speaking with you, we can still hear the sounds of our children, shelly by ukrainian military. that was our, please run closer every full say on location in the nice republic. meanwhile, in south west new crane authority to the black sea port of a desa pulled a monument to the russian imperial leader who founded the modern city. the demolition was conducted at night during a curfew. the monument depicted russia,

the empress catherine the great, as well as several of her associates, will establish the city in late 18th century. according crane. authorities have alleged that the monument was a symbol of version learners them. meanwhile, washington is a supporting anti russian narrative being amplified throughout former soviet republics. but as the new site has lost a platform called the freedom hub, to quote spread awareness about russian colonialism. it is fine at aspire. prominent u. s. state funded organization previously accused of supporting cruise. the national endowment for democracy is a non profit group funded by the u. s. congress for what they describe as promising freedom in foreign countries. it has been a huge of facilitating who's ad insurgencies in the former yugoslavia as well as georgia, ukraine,

and several arab nations. the organizations has even admitted to taking on some roles previously conducted by the c. r a. a lot of what we do today was done covered lee 25 years ago by the cia. the biggest difference is that when such activities are done, overtly the flap potential is close to 0. openness is its own protection. i don't think it's funny if something is humorous, but i think it's funny from the fact that america talks about corny eliza moore, that ukraine talks about colonialism in america has interfered with more more called imperialism as interfere with more elections and more. the sovereignty of more nations around the world than any other nation on, on, on earth. and we find ourselves in this place where they're exactly what they say they're fighting against. and when they speak about, you know, what rushes doing in large part, that's what they've done across the world, they use the word democracy, the use, the word freedom, the use, the word that we wanna, we want to protect freedom of speech. but in actuality, everything that you see even down to the twitter files, which we worked with,

oversee, show that they've had a large degree of suppression of in the u. s. a 1st amendment, while walking across the world just spreading these papa propaganda lives. we are dealing with them playing out and planning and using things like non profits in order to lie to people. and so they can perpetuate the very thing that they're saying that other people and cuz other people doing for us is foreign minister. so a lever of has issued a stern warning about western attempts to maintain a colonial era dominance in the world. he made those comments in an interview with brushes, channel one, they should do some dinner, or we're talking about the establishment of a colonial order that the west hides under the slogan of respect for the rules based world order. here i have repeatedly asked my western colleagues with whom we were still communicating at that time. can you hand over a list of these rules? where is it all written down?

no one has ever given any references to any specific rules. and the answer why is simple, because these rules mean that everyone must obey the united states. that dominance mentality has not disappeared. youngel gun issue, he, it is not only nato, but also the european union as an association and not so long ago, claim strategic autonomy has completely submitted to this western line, which, you know, the collective west is at war with us. led by this western power. the united states of america renewals, this war was declared to us quite a long time ago after the qu and ukraine took place, orchestrated by the united states and in fact, supported by the european union and after the minsk agreements, which as it finally turns out, no one was willing to fulfill we, we chose those who are reliable, who are able to negotiate as to what we have very few opportunities to talk to the west right now. you actually, there is no special desire. when you read the statements of foreign ministers,

or prime ministers, who say that it's necessary to deal with the security of europe against russia, many countries have faced a need to choose what is probably difficult to make such a decision. considering how much everyone was tied to the system of globalization created by the americans and discredited by them. because washington proved it's on reliability. as a curator of the system. every time there are any election campaigns, americans need to invent some external topic, either a thread or a task, and then given their weight on the world stage, global processes become hostages, or strongly influenced by their internal political struggle. was a little now, democrats, in the american sense, are those who are loyal, not even to the united states, but to the democratic party of the united states. logistically, politically, social social media users have debunk yet another fake

news story from you claim that's all for local lula. good flights of paul saw from old fool hours boy. and then now deleted tweet, as a supposed sean victim of the ukraine conflicts the saddest part. there are no children in ukraine any more. only little humans, with very grown up eyes old to even somewhat tired of a life yet. and lived pictured mark 8 years old, just survived a russia artillery attack. readers added contest they thought people might want to know. this image predates the conflict in the ukraine and it p as on a novel published in 2013 the ukrainian m p that posted this photo and the 1st po in the 1st place straight up, lied about it. i mean, she said that there was an 8 year old boy there that survived some sort of russian artillery attack. when in reality this kid was an irish orphan. this was a picture that was taken from the cover of a book, a 2013 spanish translation of the misremembered man. so while you definitely

shouldn't a judge, a book by its cover, you most certainly should not take what ukrainian officials are saying at face value about this kind of stuff. the photo is lifted from a 2013 book by christie mckenna, more broadly, it is true that the crimes of nazi regimes bring disaster on their own children. do ukrainian officials and pundents nail for vass image such as to keep posting such fakes. the tweets glaring and accuracy didn't stop it from getting widespread distribution though i mean, after all, the ukrainian m p that tweeted it has over 330000 followers on twitter and the u. n's head of global communications even responded to it with a broken heart that's despite the fact that her account said that all the information there is verified and based in science, i mean this time it clearly wasn't. so it makes you wonder, just how often were being duped here. well, i don't know, could this not have just been an honest mistake by this particular happy?

well, i mean, we have actually been seeing this pretty consistently, children being used in the western media and by ukrainian officials to manipulate people's emotions, to change their opinions on the ukraine conflict through bought through that way. and we actually made earlier this month, a report covering all these stories, just how many of them are either fake or actually the fault of the ukrainian military with doesn't stop there either. earlier this year we saw another ukrainian m p, or a ukranian official, rather post a picture of a drawing of

a girl on twitter who apparently was from ukraine and she had cut her hair to protect herself from being raped by russian troops. so the story goes, except we saw no evidence come with this story, and the drawing was essentially a copy and paste a job from an actual photo of a girl who died an al switzer. now we've seen a lot of these sakes going around the internet, but just to give you an idea of the sheer scale of this fake information war, we can look at an australian report that was published about twitter activity towards the earlier days and weeks of russia. special military operation, we found that between 60 and 80 percent of tweets using the hash tags we studied, came from bought accounts during the 1st 2 weeks of the war. we found that 90.16 percent of accounts fell into the pro ukraine category, while only 6.8 percent fell into the pro russia category. i think it goes without saying that in our day and age, the information war effort is just as important as that of the conventional war.

and no doubt social media platforms play a central role in that. one of the major problems is that often these myths are debunked. long after this faith content has already made its way across the internet. while a senior ukraine official pushes a fake story, business telegraph music publishes a photo to show the euclidean soldier proudly displaying a nazi symbol. the sco until spring, i call him no punch on his. thee was youth boy knots each of them. s, as full says true will to we heard from jim chambers a jonas on activists. he says the western media is simply turned a blind eye to blatant neo nazis sentiments in ukraine at some point when the members of the media intelligence. yeah. and the ruling class in general decided we can't really hide this. so let's just act like it's not a big deal. or like some other form of nationalism the same way they say. so let's

use jewish. you know, they say, well of course we don't support nazis. you know, where the, where the reasonable progressives of the way we're about treatment, freedom of speech and free value. ok. there's no way that, you know, this is crazy, but they would be not is that symbol means something else. and people just don't really pay attention and sort of believe what their top, i think it's so easy for them to just turn out propaganda in relation to ukraine that no one feels the need to fact check to pay attention. ah, massive plays in a hotel and cambodia has reportedly killed these 10 people. i'm home to 30 others, but some 400 people are feared to remain trapped inside the building. yes, i suppose it is believed to have caused the fire, which occurred in a resort town near the border thailand. media report said people jumped from

windows to escape the flames. firefighters have been working to extinguish the blaze. now to africa, south sudan has announced it sending $750.00 soldiers, the democratic republic of congo. that's part of an international effort to restore stability in the central african nation. as it begins voter registration for next year's presidential election. there has been intense fighting between congolese national forces. i'm the m 23 insurgent group in recent months in east and we because of the country near the rwandan border. the dfcs president has face harsh criticism for being unable to stop the violence without foreign intervention. he's expected to run against superman opposition. candidates with the national security concerns very much in focus. the anthony fema isn't group, has been accused of a thing,

at least 50 civilians amid the violence. the insurgency with his numerous arms factions is believed to have driven thousands of people to flee their homes. the d . o c has it is real wonder of financing m $23.00, and allegations of the neighboring country. i live in the denies. we heard from a foreign affairs and civil society on this is the presidential candidate must focus on the security concerns. i think the most critical issue about from issue of the economy of it's one of the forest country. if you want to g d p 6, it, so you have initial states that just lots to show that local, thank you. so you don't need that. can you protect the statistics for, i mean, you, as a result, you have all my knowledge of the groups, movies. yes. when you do it yourself, especially you know, you stand receive have also if you like using that, you've got to check if you,

if you also do a, you know, everything you can not talk about it one from the activities on the every to 3 a because unless the political and it's especially, you know how i'm able to connect if i get a book that says that they need to see that is the only way electrons got minutes. south africa has undergone record power outages this year with blackouts occur in a total of $200.00 days, june super system breakdowns in the energy industry. a so me is on location as a power plant in the country to show the details about the current energy crisis. more than 200 days of power cuts in 2022 alone. that south africa's lee to

struggle record, rotational blackouts due to ailing and repair infrastructure. have what the country to its knees with just 12 hours of power a day, leaving many without heat. and i'm able to work, correction, crime and sabotage at power plants has been cited as factors leading to the mobilization of the military to protect the countries electricity plants. it's a number of different factors. some of them are operational relating to is comes in ability to maintain as cold fleet. you also have issues with a cough fleet, boiler, tribune or maintenance. am you boiler tube tube leaks? ca call that's being delivered on site. you also have what the terms sabotaged, but ultimately it's just vandalism. 5th of the infrastructure, which is obviously affecting the transmission and distribution and some of the generation facilities as well. if come holdings, one of south africa's largest energy companies experienced record rotational

blackouts in 2022 with outdated and poorly maintained power stations. continually breaking down, the company said it will ramp a power cuts from low cheating, which is a way to ease the stress on main power sources. when to mind is overwhelming, small businesses are struggling to keep afloat amid the darkness with increased crime throwing a new spirit in the words, narvie rolling blackouts remain a noose around south africa's growth prospects. the south africa at the moment, i think this was unprecedented. we are sitting with an energy availability factor, which is the, is complaints that are available at only 50 percent. this is the lowest, it has ever been in is comes almost a 100 year history. in fact, more than a 100000000 in history. so we really are in trouble as frustrations continued to grow among south africans. many on looking toward tentative to keeping the lights on. but schools are already cash strapped with no additional funds. it's been

a nightmare. and especially with the economy that is right now have what is high cost of living high and adding no cheating on to the mix. what is getting spoiled medication? it's just, it's been a nightmare. i installed it for a 3 k v, a solar system where now the s glum becomes a back up rather than the primary source of power. the state own company has warned that the 1st 3 months of the year will be difficult. for many south africans. it simply means that adjusting and bracing for yet another powerless year ahead is what needs to be done. that's a home. so me for archie, johannesburg. i'm a lawyer. the intentions were to in israel and iran. isabel's outgoing defense miss

. i have worn the will be at times on iranian nuclear facilities within the next few years. a tame assumed not to take a shot or 2 to 3 years. you may cross the sky and fly east to take part in the mission. we have been preparing for a new target in the iranian nuclear plants, as well as incoming primers. benjamin netanyahu has a tops a long time i'd to be calm of the head of the national security council. but veteran lawmaker bruce he tossed with overseeing is rudy intelligence agencies has told them major domestic television channel that netanyahu will probably order a tax on it, raining a torrent facilities. if teheran cannot reach a new nuclear deal with the u. s. iraq, the leadership has a long play just didn't, don't really tell see measures against in case of such an attack. ross president racy. also recently. hughes is really close ally the us of attempting to

destabilize the islamic republic by inciting devotee wires. we heard from professor said mohamad, but i'm the of the university of to home who says that it is a conduct and the time on the wrong. it will have to deal with severe consequences . israeli regime makes many claims, but 1st of all, the iranian nuclear installations are very well protected. and in addition to that, iran's retaliation would be very severe. israel regime is small, it is very vulnerable and i think they already know the sort of capabilities that iran has when it comes to missiles and drones. so if there is any attempt to strike iran, there is how the ation would be very harsh. it would be much they would receive

much more than they hand out. and in addition to that, they will be the ones to blame for any aggression. so they would be on the losing side of any confrontation with iran. so if they are going to behave in a same manner, they won't attack you long, but if they want to be foolish, then they will have to deal with the consequences. now the sun is in brief, from around the world, 40 people have been killed and 24 injured in jews, southern city of color bar where authority say a drunk driver, lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a crowd at an annual like a festival. the month long colour bar carnival described itself as africa's biggest street party as it brings together locals and tourists. december, the philippines,

flash flooding in mid days of heavy rainfall has killed at least 29 people. and the 35 are still missing as more than 3000 homes have been reported damaged. some 90000 people remain in emergency shelters. rescue operations are underway throughout the region. and in china, at least one person has been reported killed and several others injured in a massive pile up of vehicles on a bridge, amid extreme fog, local media says that more than 200 vehicles collided and police have closed the crossing while the dentist weather conditions persists as of 2022 draws to a close people around the global looking ahead to a hopefully more positive year, after rather nerve wracking 12 months. that so, protests, military conflicts, and the research of pandemic, emitted deepening economic crisis. my colleague,

nikki ara discussed the prospects of the new year with a pile of guests. i'm not being a pessimist, no pessimist is somebody who is irrationally negative. who is just always dower, when there is no need to be just when i think i have figured that the human race has somehow exhausted, every possible means of destroying itself or its cultural reads. and or it sanity in disappointed because there's a new way. no, i think things are going to be much worse. and, but the only thing that will help most people is the diluted effect of the social media platforms which allow people to recess and to revert from reality can go into la la land and take pictures of their food. while society collapses famous, the astrologer nostradamus, he made many interesting and unusual prophecies, as we know, he said,

to predict the 3rd world war being on the horizon next year. what's your take on that? and does it look like tensions between some of the worlds and major powers are reaching that critical points? i say the possibility of potentially for a forefront war facing the united states, especially because it's out there with it's a gemini, stirring all of the sub has created the mess and in 2022. and i think it's, it, it just doesn't know how to help itself, and it's going to continue on that path. and it's going to create even greater tensions or in 2023. and we got to be watchful and any think and there can be something out of nowhere that could absolutely cause a, a catastrophic event, a cascading events that could lead to, to this war front war that i just mentioned. they stem from the middle east to the,

to, into, in the pacific to, or of course, europe, europe could in a 2nd war next year. and that, what is that war? that is basically cope casa, both serbia. what are the prospects for 2023? does it look like we're heading for a serious session? it's just how bad can things get? every statistic that we're seeing now is, every economy globally is, is on a down trend summit performing better than others. you know, we've, we've had recent statistics from china, russia, india, those economies recovering it in a certain way from, you know, the, the pandemic, which we, we will part of the experience that really, again just, we are going to point to the other guys. now this whole global situation has been created, it just causing more and more pain. and why wouldn't economies, it's really virtually impossible for market to react. well when they come predict what's going to happen? i think it's very concerning. i'm really not sure what's going to happen to global economy. i think we're going into a boss,

global recession. i think the only way out of this is for countries to really start moving, as we're seeing now away from that dependence on the us dollar. and the hedge him and that's created by the united states through that financial system which we've all been forced to use generation, the vatican, the world health organization, the world economic forum, the u. n. again, a reconfiguration and realignment of power structures that we've never seen before . and most people per usual have nary a clue. so watch carefully and be aware that all of this is leading to a rapid rise to a multi polar world order. and we're seeing this accentuated by western gemini, and particularly us the gemini forcing, pushing russia and china iran to toward the multi polar reality. and we're seeing saudi arabia want to join with the bricks

countries. iran wants to join with bricks. when you put all of this together, they constitute more than, along with this shanghai cooperation organization, they constitute more than half the population of the world. there was announcement recently, for example, that like the bank, one of russia's largest banks as company developed, a new payment gateway that goes between russia and iran and allows people to lose money more or less instantly between the 2 countries. that's where we're living. the dominance of the financial system, which at the moment is controlled by a private company called swift, which is basically how most of us move our money to and from around the world. now that's gone. now we've seen that gone. we're going to see, i think, a whole bunch of new and exciting companies from china, russia, india, iran, all of these as ever was saying, all of the new company, these new companies that will be in this new multi power. well though, that will start. i think really exciting and technology that we've waited in stock for the financial industry generations now. but it's an interesting documentary for

the bulls in terms of just be sure to trade that out of the back of the told me i would go ahead with what he's got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on authentic, very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with
