at least 3 people were wounded and one person was killed from one cause for of r t. the next republic care another update to bring attention to, to they russian security forces have arrested on a q spy in the her san region. intelligence officials apprehended won't, they say is ukranian special services agent who has tasked with collecting information about the russian military. the 54 year old ukranian citizen is alleged to have amassed intel regarding numbers of russian troops on the location of active units on military equipment. he then use the messaging up what's up to pass on the critical information to ukrainian command, which used it to coordinate strikes on russian troops. russia, security service has opened a criminal investigation and has charged the man with espionage.

now western media reports have portrayed china's hospitals as being overwhelmed spy covered patients ever since paging lifted, tough nationwide restrictions meant to stop the spread of the disease videos. indeed, that have been posted by the media purport to show a surge of new cove infections in chinese hospital. the reports allege medical staff have been unable to cope with the influx of patients and can provide adequate essential care. some stories pump, they blame on chinese strict so called co with 0 locked on policy, which was ease this december. amid a spate of protests headlines in recent months, have described the chinese government as a self made victim of its own. cobit restrictions on state of the reported new wave of infections has led to cremation centers unable to keep up with the amount. beijing has lost out those claim saying they're 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 is clearly against journalistic ethics. people on social media, we're also quick to point at what they say are contradictory stories when it comes to the medias. reporting of china's cove at policy pictures were posted on twitter is showing a number of media outlets issuing countries statements in the span of just a couple of months. those went from claims that co, china's kobe policy is a nightmare to that of china. being unprepared for this situation at hand, while china has no relax, that's paul as safe despite that, some countries upset off restrictions of their own. by the way, washington annoyance, new measures will apply to all travelers coming from china,

including obligatory testing beginning early next month. other nations, such as japan, malaysia, india, and south korea of also an on similar requirements for chinese arrivals, which are reported to include trucking surveillance measures. while you load, the chinese government has repeatedly said its measures during the past 3 years were aimed of protecting its citizens, c, g, t, and corresponded young age. i would say that i was his country did up the view in china. his as well is that other countries, like the us put in place policies that people suffered from all the practice that china has been conducted over the past 3 years, are based on the death rates, the how much threatened 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 over 11000000 people. and that's a really brave vocation, decision making, but really save the lives are through the rest, the part of the country as well as the entire world. and that reduce the possibility from people to getting infected with the alpha variance. and then the delta variant is also threatening when it comes to overcome. china do have an experience facing the army, including the outbreaks in shanghai and joe, and realize that hey, this is no longer threatening anymore, and the death rate 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 experience the whole process of coven, and they realize that, hey,

this is something that really bring a certain degree of attacks to your body, to your body 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 time to make it, let's say, take the you as an example. i mean, a lot of the policy just really nor the threatening of the virus itself and sacrifices so many people's lives. and if you look at the entire process of how chinese practicing it, respects signs in 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

now, what should be a time of celebration over the christmas period is anything but for christians in syria? is it live region? a new report by a human rights group sees they are being brickley, oppressed in the north western province and are afraid of practicing their religion . the organization, syrians, for truth and justice. so if the properties have been seized on a mass scale by estimates militant groups in the area near the turkish border, some christians have been abducted for ransom and even killed indiscriminately by armed insurgents in what appears to be religiously motivated crimes. according to the report. western media reports are described insurgents who control much of the italy regionals, legitimate political opposition to the u. s. opposed government in damascus. there have been multiple ceasefire agreements implemented for the province with

a fragile truce still in place. or t spoke to independent investigative journalists, vanessa bailey, who is based in damascus. she says that human rights groups, findings contradict the western normative about the country and what goes on in the nation. this report is 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 armed groups, and they effectively kicks or the christian or communities out of their homes in order for you to be able to occupy those phones, stretches are also being occupied. they're not only being desecrated,

and people are not only being prevented from worshiping in those churches. they're 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 nor headline story averse to de south africa has undergone record power outages this year, with black cards occurring for a total of $200.00 days. due to persistent breakdowns in the energy industry. local reporter, account, legal miss, so may and location other power plant in the country del further into the current crisis. not more than 200 days of power cuts in 2022 alone. that's south africa's latest struggle record,

rotational blackouts due to ailing and repeat infrastructure, have what the country to its knees with just 12 hours of power a day, leaving many without heat and unable to work, corruption, crime, and sabotage at power plants have 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 the cough fleet, boil attribute maintenance, you boiler tube tube leaks, a call that's being delivered on site. you also have what the terms sabotage, but ultimately is just vandalism. 5th of the infrastructure, which was obviously affected 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 went to mind is overwhelming. small businesses are struggling to keep afloat amid the darkness with increased crime throwing a new spammer in the work. now the rolling blackouts remain a noose around south africa's growth prospects. the south africa at the moment, i think this is 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 for more than a 100000000 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 fees. it's been

a nightmare. i'm especially with the economy that is right now have what is high cost of living and high and adding mulch, getting 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 owned 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 saw me for archie and johannesburg. was staying on the consulate, nigerian police have rescued more than 200 people who had been kidnapped in the last 9 months. according to local authorities. it comes amid rising criminal

activity and violence that swept across the country. ah other placement came as to more mos kid. nothing incident occurred in the state this past week with nearly 60 people, abducted on one person, killed. the violence has increased during the last few minutes with different ethnic groups, waging fierce battles according to local authorities. one of the armed groups known as full ali, i talked to villages shooting residents and bernie dein, holmes. earlier in december, local correspondence, poland, david springs us more now on the story. the people of saturn caterina, have once again be thrown in some morning the lives of young men, women and children were cut off in via prime by midnight on december 18th, in these community violent attacks by criminal gangs have been on for decades in

sodom. kaduna the kitten up people for ran some loose, famous produce still livestock brand houses, cars, but the cycles and killed residence, local authorities, se reappraisal attacks between headers and farmers are responsible for these killings. 72 year old moses so far. a car right in the gym on a farmer will narrowly escaped been killed, but lost form in the thieves in the latest attack says valence cattle head as she would be blamed somebody to come to a house. mon, you won't. you are pro, were parked some of your property to kill you, and then bone to house farm and do everything and see that you get what your family will. and i will pose this couse in, sorry. okay, rafa is there, somebody you run through the old site season is usually

a time when people living in different areas and cities get together to rejoice and reconnect with the families of the countryside. suddenly, some communities here in sodom cardona on able to enjoy such facilities as more than 40 people, have been killed. and over 100 homes burned down in replacing the facts, which in farmers and hed us in the last few days, indigenous people of the affected communities who are left with memories of their loved ones. home for the governments will do better as improving security, calling on the government to lease even if they want to saying security in this issue. the issue since that have the masses not to come uncomfortable on killing the people in the community series of fissile sovereign organized by traditional institutions,

religious leaders, politicians and auto critical stakeholders identify and resolve the conflicts. yes . it's laying as a government official at grass jewels or consoled families of those killed, described the acts as inhumane, but said, but people should remain calm as the government is working. the cattail for crisis camera trying, trying to see all you got a teams would come cruise this. yeah, i've seen the form of government have even more shows relieved material. although these relief materials can never measure for the loss in these communities. some say it's better than nothing. my jury is battling with heavy insecurity issues, especially with spoke of her and she had this and bundis in the north. but my

serious precedence, muhammad will hurry in, says that he is living no stone unturned to reduce insecurity to the barest minimum, even as the countries general elections draw near. amid rising tensions between israel under run, the outgoing is really defense minister has warned. there are will be a turks on iranian nuclear facilities when the next number of years if things stay as they are a dame. assume the so to the shop on 2 to 3 years, you may cross the sky to fly east to take part in the mission. we have been preparing for a new target in the iranian nuclear plants huddled bush, mo, israel's incoming prime minister. benjamin netanyahu has tufts on long time allied to become the head of the national security council. dot veteran and lawmaker previously task with overseeing is really intelligence agencies, has told them major domestic tv channel that netanyahu will probably order attacks

on a re, me an atomic facilities. if to run cannot reach a new nuclear deal with the u. s. around leadership. how long pledge to conduct retaliatory measures against israel in the case of such an attack around president bray. see also recently accused israel's close ally the u. s. of attempting to the stabilize the western asian country by inciting deadly riots. we heard from international of 1st specialist side mohammed, but on the of the university of tehran. he says if israel conducts an attack on a run, 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. a barely regime is small. it is

very vulnerable. and i think they already know the sort of capabilities that iran has when it comes to miss aisles and drones. so if there is any attempt to strike you run their italy, asian 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 safe manner, they won't attack you long, but if they want to be foolish, then they will have to deal with the consequences. ah, now as 2022 draws to a close, people around the globe are ok ahead to hopefully more positive year after a rather nerve wracking 12 months. that saw protest,

military conflicts. further followed from the pandemic and all and made a deepening economic crisis. my colleague nick urine discussed the prospect for the new year with a panel of guest. 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 origin or its saturday. i'm 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 and 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 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, 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 coke, cause of both serbia vatike in the world health organization, the world economic forum, the un 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 where there was a now it's been recently for example, that like b t, b bank, one of russia largest banks, has currently developed a new payment gateway that goes between russia and iran. allows people to lose money more or less instantly between the 2 countries. that's where we're moving. the dominance of the financial system, which at the moment is controlled by a private company called swift, which is basically how most move our money to and fro 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, or b as everyone thing or the new company. these new companies that will be stopped in this new multi poder waldo. that will start developing really exciting payment technology that we've been stopped for in the financial industry for generations now. well, speaking of money next, we cross to ortiz, new show, the cost of everything counts. christie, i am guess, and moments for an examination of the pressing concerns on our pockets this fest than season season. ah, ah

ah ah ah ah, with the discovery of the new world, at the end of the 15th century, there appeared atlantic slave dre. the slave traders from european countries started building forth on the western coast of the african continent to transport the african inhabitants to america, to be forced into hard labor. until the middle of the 17th century. portugal had

laid the main role in this atrocious business. then great britain, france and the netherlands took the leadership, or the span of 400 years of legal and illegal slave trade. about 17000000 people were forcefully shipped across the atlantic. not including those who died on the way due to unbearable living conditions. modern historians estimate that for each slave ship to america, there were 5 who died while captured during transportation, and cruel obliteration of rebellion. this ruthless people tre practice by the leading european countries, took away tens of millions of african lives. the organisation of united nations classifies the trans atlantic slave trade as one of the gravest human rights abuses in the history of humanity. this is the biggest act of deportation of people

ever seen by mankind. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk ah, the 1st time in history, an entire country's culture has been canceled to the very modern weapon. cancel, culture. really desperate, wonderful language cecile malice. so one way of fraud here, just misleading the, with the phrase now, particularly refers to counseling russian culture. yet them know what secret of she

was. the zip code where your mouth, your putting over your child was. so out that all the, most of the separate random eat them, we what rushes created over the past 1500 years. there's no question. partially condemned, reviled and rejected it. and i knew that it was funny. at the will of bramble, there's a lot closer on a whole bunch. thank you said a little sure. the list, joining total condemnation grows daily and now enclosed da staff skate to cascade and shostakovich that i need to hear all the left. but yes, you can think about what the time will you do? obama lee, you're not going to do that a little bit more.
