ukrainian border. this video was taken by local residence authorities, say that our defense systems are operating in the area and updates to bring you as well from don bus. one person has been look for to killed 2 others wounded and done yeske city. and what at local official say is the latest round of ukrainian artillery attacks on residential areas. this footage shows the moments on the apartment building was hit by a rocket attack. the shell fragments appear to be from a soviet. busy design grub rockets issue, the merced said ts forces fired at least 16 of those projectiles into the city in the latest shelly local authorities states, the ukrainian military has been increasing its artillery attacks on residential areas. litigations which denies we heard from our correspondent for among cost rif,

in done yet, $1.00 person was killed and 3 people were wounded in genetic as the results of ukrainian artillery, showing. now ukrainian nationalists used multiple launch or rocket systems and fired against civilian areas. here in them as found, standing in one of the houses right now, the suffered at direct hit by those so grad missiles. now a woman that was killed, she was in her bed during the attack. so it happened about 6 p. m. i only had my windows chatted, but my neighbor who lived next to me suffered more. she didn't die instantly, but was carried away from the building and later died. ukraine's indiscriminate shutting off civilian areas here and then ask is taking place on a daily basis with the last few weeks that have been using multiple launch raucous systems. this is a fragment of a show that landed in this residential building. several apartments here have been destroyed hand once again as the result of the shilling,

at least 3 people were wounded. a warm person was killed from one cause for a r t. the less republican at russian security forces have arrested on accused spy in the her, san at region intelligence officials apprehended what they say as a ukrainian special services agent who has tasked with collecting information about the russian military for kia. let's tell you what else we know here. the 54 year old ukranian citizen is alleged to have amassed intel, regarding the number of russian troops and the low cation of active units, military equipment, as well. and he then used the messaging up what's up to pass on the critical information to ukrainian command, which was used to coordinate strikes on russian for the f. s. b has opened a criminal investigation on his charge. the man with spanish

social media users have debunked yet another fake news story from ukraine. it's offer a local lawmaker tried to pass off an old photo of an irish boy in a nod, delete a tweet, as i suppose it child victim of the ukraine company. 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 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 miss, remembered 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 ends. head of global communications even responded to it with a broken heart that 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 handy? 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 by 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 face 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, it said that over 80 percent of tweets from that time were part of a covert propaganda operation. and over 90 percent of the accounts that were making these tweets were pro ukrainian. 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 department long after this faith content has already made its way across the internet. my colleagues, nicky, are, and donal quarter not while a senior key of official pushes affect story. britton's telegraph newspaper has published the photo showing a ukrainian soldier proudly displaying enough c symbol. the skull and crossbones icon in a patch on his sleeve was used by nazi german s. s forces during world war 2. we spoke to jim chambers, jim's

a journalist who's been following the issue for quite some time. he said, western media outlets hub simply turned the blind dolly to blatant the extreme, the sentiments in ukraine at some point, when the members of the media intelligentsia 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 it's 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 that's where the reasonable progressives of the west were about freedom and freedom of speech and free value. and there's no way that you know, this is crazy that they would be not is that symbol means something else. and people just don't really pay attention and sort of believe with their top. i think at the end 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. milan authorities in the black sea port of odessa toppled

a monument to the russian imperial leader who funded the modern city. the demolition was conducted that night during a curfew. the monument depicted russian empress catherine the great, as well as several of her associates who established the city in the late 18th century, the current ukrainian authority of alleged up the monument was a symbol of russian colonialism. what washington is supporting anti russia. normative is being amplified throat former soviet republics. it centers on the launch by ukrainian new sites of a platform called freedom hub. to quote spread awareness about rushing colonialism . it is financed by a prominent u. s. state funded organization. previously accused of supporting cruise, the national endowment for democracy as a nonprofit group, funded by the u. s. congress for what they describe as promoting freedom in foreign countries. it's been accused of facilitating cruise and insurgencies in the former

yugoslavia as well as georgia, ukraine, and several are of nations. the organization, those even admitted to taking on some rules previously conducted by the central intelligence agency. a lot of what we do today was done, covered lee 25 years ago by the ca. the biggest difference is that when such activities are done, overtly the flap potential is close to 0 openness to its own protection. i don't think it's funny is that we get humorous, but i think it's funny from the fact that america talks about colonialism or 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 earth. and we find ourselves in this place where there are exactly what they say they're fighting against. and when they speak about what russia is doing, in large part, that's what they've done across the world. they use the word democracy, they use the word freedom, they use the word that we want. we want to protect freedom of speech. but in

actuality, everything that you see even down to the twitter files, which we weren't supposed to ever see, 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 the proper propaganda lives. we are dealing with them playing out and planning and using things like nonprofits in order to lie to people. and so they can perpetuate the very thing that they're saying that other people use other people doing okay to another of our headlines. stories today. so afraid has undergone record power outages this year, but black guides occurring for a total of $200.00 days due to persistent breakdowns in the energy industry. local reporter, capital echo miss. so me on location. now the power plant in the country, dell was further into the current crisis, not more than 200 days of power cuts in 2022 alone. that south africa lead to struggle record rotational blackouts due to ailing

unrepaired infrastructure as what the country to its knees with just 12 hours of power a day, leaving many without heat. and i'm able to work corruption, crime, and sabotage at power plants has been cited effect of leading to the mobilization of the military to protect the countries electricity plots, the number of different factors. some of them are operational relating to is comes, inability to maintain as co fleet. you also have issues with the cof fleet, boiler tube, you know, maintenance, your tube tube leaks. the call that's being delivered on site. you also have what the term sabotaged, but ultimately is vandalism. 5th of the infrastructure, which is obviously affect to the transmission and distribution and some of the generation facilities as well as come holding one of south africa, the largest energy companies experienced record rotational blackouts in 2022 with

outdated and poorly maintained power stations. continually breaking down the company stated or ramp a power cuts from low cheating, which is a way to ease the stress on main power sources went to mind is overwhelming. small businesses are struggling to keep afloat amid the darkness with increased crime throwing a new senate. now the road in black health remained a noose around south africa growth profit, south africa. at the moment. i think this is unprecedented. we are sitting with an energy availability factor, which is the complaints that are available at only 50 percent. this is the lowest it has ever been in is comes almost a 100 years history for more than a 100 years history. so we really are in trouble as frustrations continue to grow among south africans. many on looking to attend to, to keeping the lights on. but schools are already cash strapped, with no additional fees. it's been a nightmare. i'm especially with the economy. it is right now. half wood is high

cost of living high and adding more cheating on to the meat. what is getting spoiled medication? it's just, it's been a nightmare. i installed it at 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 our t. johannesburg, western media report shall portrayed china's hospitals as being overwhelmed by cobra patients ever since beijing lifted tough nationwide restrictions meant to

stop the spread of the disease. now these videos reportedly show a surge of new cobra infections and chinese hospitals. western media reports a medical staff have been unable to cope with the influx of patients and they just can't provide adequate essential care. some stories even put the blame on. busy child strict so called co 0 locked on policy, which is ease this ad december emitter speech of protests as the primary reason why . while headlines in recent months have described the chinese government as a self made victim of its own co. it restrictions on state that the reported new wave of infections has led to cremation centers, unable to keep up with demand beijing as lashed out those saying there's nothing more than an example of double standards being pushed by the western media establishment. a small number of western media have deliberately hyped up and even misrepresented china's covert policy adjustment, and yet avoided reporting on the deficiencies and heavy price paid in their own

countries called response. this is nothing but double standards, and it's clearly against journalistic ethics. people on social media, we're also quick to point to what they say are contradictory stories when it comes to the western media reporting of china's coven policy. pictures were posted on twitter, showing a number of media outlets issuing country statements in the span of just a couple of months. those went from claims that co, china's coven policy is a nightmare to the of china. being unprepared for this situation. while china has not relaxed, it's paul. i see some countries have set up new restrictions of their own washington lunch. new measures will apply to all travelers coming from china, including obligatory testing beginning early next month. other nations such as japan, malaysia, india site, korea. they've also an on similar requirements for chinese tourists,

which are reported to include trucking answer valence measures. well, we're the ones, the chinese government has said it's measures during the past 3 months for him to protecting its citizens. while other countries like the u. s. put in place policies that people suffered from. we spoke to c g t n correspondent young say show on. learned all the practice that china has been conducted over the past 3 years. are based on the death rates, the how much threaten the threatening it would bring to the society or also the capacity of the medical resources. if you take a look at the offer very and all the beginning, the beginning of the price is early in 2020 i was in the center of will hon. the country really locked down the entire city of 11000000 people. and that's a really brave vocation. decision making, but really save the lives of the rest a part of the country as well as the entire world. and that we deal with the

possibility from people to getting infected with the alpha variance. and then the delta variant is also threatening when it comes to only china do have experience facing the army, including the outbreaks in shanghai and joe, and realize that hey, this is no longer threatening anymore. and that definitely is really relatively low . and you have to make a balance between the social economic development versus the epidemic prevention and control. and that's why prompted the health authority to lift such restrictions . where if you listen to the ordinary people, because there are do, there are some people got, in fact they also got in fact, a few weeks ago. and a lot of people when they really experienced the whole process of cobit and they realize that, hey, this is something that really bring a certain degree of attacks to your body to anybody system. so they realized that it is dangerous, and when they experience it, the

a lot of people would realize that how important it is for the government to protect them over the past 3 years. because a lot of people will claim that the american, according to the western narrative or a lot of politicians from the western world, are really taking advantage of coded as a political thing. and then think about the beginning of the pen to make it, let's say, take you as an example. i mean, a lot of the policy, we really nor the threatening of the virus itself and sacrifices so many people's lives. and if you look at the entire process that how china is practicing in respect signs, it respect to how the country is making efforts to boost is medical reserves and pcr capacity. and that really when the battle over the crisis at least 6 people are dead. 37 more injured in a widespread fire occurred on the highway inside korea. some of the pictures really

are extremely look at this. the blaze on the elevated road, according to local media, the fire rutted, following a collision between a passenger, a buff on the cargo truck. having traffic on the highway hindered the ability of other cars to clear the scene leading to the destruction of over 40 vehicles. emergency services are working up the scene. we will of course, bring you more details on this accident. the blaze from side korea and when they come in, what should be a time of celebration over the christmas spirit as anything but for christians in syria? is it live the region? a new report by a human rights group said they are being brutally oppressed in the north western province under afraid of practicing their religion. the organization, syrians for truth and justice, sees that properties have been seen on mass steel by islamists,

militant groups. in the area near the turkish border, some christians have been abducted for ransom, even killed indiscriminately by armed insurgents in what appears to be religiously motivated crimes. according to the report, western media reports have described insurgents who controlled much of the la breach and as legitimate political opposition to the u. s. opposed government in damascus. there have been multiple ceasefire agreements implemented for the region with a fragile, true still in place. our t spoke to independent the investigative journalism, vanessa bailey, who is based in damascus, she sees the human rights groups, findings contradict the western narrative about the country and what's happening there. this report as a refreshing change from the usual protectionism that we have from western align human rights groups like amnesty international or human rights watch. who

still protect the image of the so called rebels, which are in fact varieties of service groups affiliated to or dominated by trade. or even though they have been rebranded multiple times, the white how much came in with the groups, and they affectively kicks or the christian or communities out of their homes in order for you to be able to occupy those phones. churches are also being occupied. they're not only being desa crated, and people are not only being prevented from worshiping in those churches that are being used as military centers. i mean, nation centers and so on. this level of prosecution of the christian communities, the desecration of places of worship, and the prevention of christian festivals and christie and worship is something that has been ongoing in the terrorist held areas. now, of course, predominantly in the northwest atlanta for some time,

right. something else to bring to your attention today. russia's foreign minister has issued a stern warning about western attempts to maintain imperialistic type dominance across the world. very much. a topic over the last few months doesn't have been sort of rough. made the comments in an interview with russia's but it should sound that 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. i have repeatedly asked my western colleagues with all right, we have to interrupt us because russian president vladimir putin, a sub take part in the ceremony to commemorate the raising of naval flags on new russian navy ships. you want to see what he has to say as well. let's take a look. and i would like to congratulate all the ship builders and the

navy. in general, on this milestone, i would like to think much and other ship building companies for their work for performing their mission, which is the highest and there's the engineers and the workers as these companies. they've demonstrated their skill and i would like to know the contribution of the unified ship building corporation and other companies, including through being to building nuclear power and ballistic missiles submarines . they are unique piece of machinery that so we have no similar, no similar submarines in the world. they have the equipment and they carry that high precision weapons. so they generally seem of war of submarine

care is the bull of s l b m. and i would like to know that as part of the staging armament program will be for more submarine of this kind, which will ensure russia securities for decades to come up with a small scale missile is also a new generation and they're very effective in delivering on their mission and they have proved their board during this special military operation. and also, i'm not totally slim of some of this is one of the most successful models. and we plan to build that for 10 more ships in this class. let me emphasize that we will probably be manufacturing in the construction of the ships and with the good yard equipment and well

train them flu. then we'll use them during the special military operation. and the experience in their accounts will do this. ensure russia security and to promote our national interests in the open seas. let's get down. we're going to go on a government issue or them issue. i mean supreme commander in chief of the armed forces, the russian federation, ships have completed a task and ready to join the navy. allow us to start lifting the navy a flag or the go ahead glaze. he think, you know, the main base with all the pacific fleet is on the line today. we're holding the ceremony to live with the navy flag on
