at least 16 of them into the city. and local authorities also say the crate in military has been increasing its artillery attacks on the residential areas. though . these are allegations which key denies on that aspect. here's our correspondent remaining embedded in the region. it's robin cost around $1.00 1st of all skills and 3 people were voted and done. s. as a result of ukranian artillery, showing that ukrainian nationalists used multiple launch or rocket systems and fired against civilian areas, your internet, them standing in one of the houses right now. this suffered at direct hit by those grad missiles. now, a woman that was killed, she was in her beds during the attack. so she, it happened about 6 p. m. i only had my windows chatted, but my neighbor 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 last a few weeks that have been using multiple launch rocky systems. this is a fragment of a show that landed in this residential building. several apartments here had been destroyed hand once again as the result of the shelling, at least 3 people were wounded. a one person was killed from one cause for a r t. the less republican overwhelmed doctors and patients without care. that's the current situation in hospitals across china as it lifts cobra to restrictions nationwide, at least according to videos now circulating on various social media at the following foot is reportedly filmed in various chinese hospitals portraying and new surgeon infections or western media reports alleged that medical staff have been unable to cope with the influx of patients. some stories put the blame on china's

strict so called cove, it's 0 lockdown policy, which was eased at this december. mid a spate of protests will headlines in recent months of i described the chinese government as a self made victim of its own covert restrictions and state that the, the reported new wave of infections has led to cremation, centers being overwhelmed or beijing has left out of those claims saying that nothing more than an example of double standards being pushed by the western mainstream media. a small number of western media have deliberately hyped up and even misrepresented china's covert policy adjustments. 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. and while china has not relaxed its policies, some countries have set up new restrictions of their own. washington announce new

measures will apply to all incoming chinese travelers including obligatory testing beginning early next month. other nations like japan, malaysia, india and south korea of all else. similar requirements for chinese arrivals, though, which are reported to include tracking and surveillance measures. the chinese government has repeatedly said its measures during the past 3 years, were aimed at protecting its citizens, a, c, g, t, and corresponding doing a show that as a country did that. the view in china is that many other nations put in place policies that people did suffer from all the practice that china has been conducted over the past 3 years. are based on the dep 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 crisis, 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 occasion decision making, but really save the lives are through the rest of the part of the country as well as the entire world that we do with the possibility from people to getting infected with the alpha variance. and then that don't have erin is also threatening, but when it comes to all micron, china do have the experience for facing the army on including the outbreaks in shanghai and guam, joe. and i realized that hey, this is no longer threatening any more. and the document 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 of such restrictions. well, 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 that a lot of people when they really experienced the whole process of covered and they realized that, hey, this is something that really bring

a certain degree of attacks to your body, to your antibody system. so they realize 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 america, according to the western narrative, or a lot of politicians from the western world, are really taking advantage of covered as a political thing. and then think about the beginning of the pandemic. let's say take you as an example. i mean, a lot of the policy is we really ignore the threatening of the virus itself and a sacrifice as so many people's lives. and if you look at the entire process of how china is practicing it, respects signs. it respects to how the country is making efforts to boost is medical reserves and pcr capacity. and that really winds the battle over the crisis

. somalia has pulled the welcome mat from u. k based energy from jenelle that comes off to britain has been pushing africa to switch to green energy, but itself has been engaged in oil exploration in the countries northern region. the federal government of somalia categorically rejects general energy pulses claim to own petroleum rights in somalia, northern regions, the federal government of somalia, in response to any violation of its sovereignty over its resources, shall take all possible measures and pursue all legal avenues as part of its constitutional mandate of protecting somalis, territorial integrity, unity and it's permanent sovereignty over its natural resources. i thought that i more or less course live not a journalist, k m, so may, who's in job bug, roughly 10 pos for the often in there. now. so good to see you could, can you bring us up to speed about the, the current situation surrounding the oil exploration in your country. but also,

i guess, out of the janelle company in that region, what details can, can you tell us? good afternoon, rory. now as you know, somalia is a defector or samaya landra as a de facto of somalia and it obtained its independence in $99.00 to $1.00, but no foreign power actually recognizes it as an independent now. so my land is highly prospect of when it comes to onshore exploration in that region. and as you mentioned, janelle energy, which is an independent london based oil company, is looking to target resources of up to 2000000000 barrels of oil in that region. now, the ministry of the petroleum and mineral resources in somalia has released a statement and they do hold the principle of permanent sovereignty, that the country holds over the natural resources of. so my dear land, and with that, that statement is condemning the legal activities of janelle, off this british owned company,

emphasizing that it should even refrain from claiming the rights a to for mcgill. and now the federal government has also released within that press statement. putting janelle in the light of a corrupt company that is illegally occupying or looking to occupy the resources of that northern region on janelle's website, you will see that they obtained the rights or the were awarded to the exploration license in 2012. and it seemed as though as early as a year ago in december of 2021, it was all systems go for going into that region of somalia. now just to give a little bit of background aurora, we know that. so maria land gained the independence in 1960 and $5.00 days they, after they made the decision to join forces with somebody in becoming the greater somalia for all the ethnic groups within that region. but it soon showed that that union was not working out as it was rocked by very unsteady political, as well as financial circumstances with in somalia lent,

withdrawing from that to read from that union. and reasserting its sovereignty, $99.00 to $1.00. because that decision did not breach any international laws at the time. it has creates a created a gray area for corrupt companies such as gen now, which is of u. k. orange. you will also note that the u. k. has an office in somalia lender liaison office and somebody land and so my land has an office in the u. k as wow. now in that press statement, the ministry warns of the potential risks to investment, as well as legal ramifications that would be carried out if this illegal exploration of some media continues. and it's cited that they as an institution, are the only ones granted to authorize to grant a mineral rights to any of the company. now, with somalia, recognizing somebody or land as its own territory and its sovereignty. we know that many countries around the world are mostly considered a country only when it happens or by the west. we tend to then ask the question

that so has the u. k been recognized? so my dear land only to benefit from its oil. local tv journalist there co miss. so me giving us that live report from joe book. thank you very much for that. we'll see you soon. we'll nigerian police say they've rescued more than 200 people who had been kidnapped in the last 9 months. it comes to me to rise in my criminal activity and violence that swept all across the country. ah, so 2 more mass kidnappings occurred in my country this past week. nearly 60 people abducted one person kill violence is increased during the last few months with different ethnic groups, waging fears, battles, and according to local authorities and armed is limited faction of tut. 2 villages shooting residence, including christian herdsman, burning down homes just

a couple of weeks ago. local correspondent to pulling dove. it gives us an over, you know, a people of saturn cut and i have once again be thrown in some morning the lives of young men, women and children because of india prime by midnight on december 18th, in these community violent attacks by criminal gangs have been on for decades in sodom, kaduna the kidnap people for ran some loose, famous, produce still livestock, brick houses, cars, but the cycles and killed residence local authorities, c. reappraisal at sac speech. inheritors and farmers are responsible for these killings 72 year old moses so far. a car right in the gym on a farmer who narrowly escaped being killed but lost, forming the thieves in the latest attack says violence cattle head as she would be blamed somebody that come to a house one you won't to approach were parked some of your property

to kill you and then bone to house farm and do everything we see that you get quite, you know, definitely family for him i will pose these couse inside. and cobra far. you said somebody, you had a general, the old site says and 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 had us in the last few days, indigenous people of the affected communities who are left with memories of their loved ones. home that governments will do better as improve insecurity. calling on

the golf men to lease even if they want to saying security in this issue. the issue sense that have the masses not to come uncomfortable on chilling the people in the community series of the sole 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 and gama trying, trying to see all you got a teams would help me with this. yeah. how soon 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 criteria is battling with heavy insecurity issues, especially with vocal her and she had this and funded in the north, but my serious precedence. muhammad po, hurry in, says that he is living no stone unturned to reduce insecurity to the barest minimum, even as a countries general actions. joel mir. well, it's a good have you with us for this program, lie from the russian capital, quote, global leadership and the unification. of the european union will, according to vladimir zalinski during his new year's address to ukraine's parliament. these are some of the countries many achievements. and now we are truly one with the world, with the strongest, with the freest in the world. we restore faith and values to millions of people in

different countries are crossing large, not audio contribute of asher as rachel boss. and joining us live in the program to give us more on what's been said. so rachel, can you, can you bring us up to speed on the speech? i guess, a, what all ukraine's accomplishments so far this? yeah, well zalinski saying the ukraine is one with the quote freest in the world is like that person who's really kind of mediocre at best. and he walks up to you and says, hey, we could pass for twins and you take it as an insult because you really didn't think that you looked that bad. zalinski basically just did that to the entire western world. maybe zalinski is just high on all the comparisons in the western press between himself and former world war 2 era. british prime minister, winston churchill in the wake of zalinski, is addressed to u. s. congress last week. you know, churchill war air raid overalls to the white house in 1941 zalinski dress for his

speech in front of congress. like he was a courier in the building, making a delivery and accidentally took a wrong turn into the house chamber. churchill said, we will never surrender and well, so did zelinski with that very unique phrase. you know, so well, yeah, pretty much twins. so now that he's church of double. yes, the, the figures that making ukraine the west twin would probably work as well. the west has freedom of worship and under zalinski and ukraine, well, they don't zalinski secret police have rated monasteries across ukraine, even a convent full of nuns and arrested dozens of priests for no justifiable reason whatsoever. and in clear violation of ukrainian constitution which no longer matters and in the face of this, the, by the ministration has said nothing, not one word. instead they just continue to push to send zalinski more tax dollars . so naturally, zalinski has become much bolder. why wouldn't me oh, okay,

so maybe not quite totally twins with the west there, but at least ukraine upholds the notion of political freedom, right. well, earlier this year, zalinski government suspended 11 political parties under the pretext that they were to pro russian. well, how about freedom of the press in ukraine while last year zalinski band online and broadcast media outlets, including one of the largest news websites in the country by decree, citing national security and over the summer. zelinski is proposed bill to tight and government control over the countries. media was voted in the ukrainian parliament despite western concerned the coercive regulation and visited by the bill and in the hands of a regulator totally controlled by the government is worthy of the worst. all threats arion regimes, it must be withdrawn as state, there was little i such provisions simply has no place in the european union. but in zalinski is mind. ukraine is just like europe identical, really same values,

which is why he said in his speech on wednesday, that now is the time for ukraine to join the european union. ukraine is twins with the e. u. like zelinski is twins with churchill. so, you know, what's the holdup guest i means that both enjoy the same witch hunting of the political opposition or of citizens who speak russian and both have the same kind of diplomatically savvy elected officials. what will we do have to do a coupon? her son, if the police doesn't do its job till the end, i don't think that will happen, not this time. the price is too high. so if the justice system does not work with the traders than the military will do it, there is no other way. i talked to the soldiers and that is what they're saying. they will simply shoot them like dogs. so if you crane is one with the west as zalinski sadness speech to parliament than any,

it's the west that should be wondering if it really looks as bad as ukraine. maybe it isn't so free or democratic or without corruption, as it likes to think. the twitter files released recently under new owner ilan must caverhill government back censorship of cove id science that deviated from the western establishment narrative. it also brought to light the cosy relationship between government officials, including those at the pentagon, cia and if the eye and big social media outlets like twitter, which routinely cooperated on various government priorities and agendas, ranging from framing a foreign wars to promoting certain narratives about geo po, geopolitical competitors like russia, all under the guise of fighting dis information. all this in a so called democracy that's supposed to value free speech and debate. so really, is it any wonder that zalinski looks at all of this and thinks that he's looking at

a mirror image of ukraine? marty contributor ritual martin as always, thank you. quote, no easy, all quiet way. that's the australian trade minister, summing up the process needed to resolve its ongoing trade. dispute with china is comes as disputes in the world trade organization of lead to both can bra and beijing, teaming up together to protest washington's policies. i'm not sure there is any easy or quiet way to resolve this issues. we would prefer to sit down and discuss the issues with the chinese government and obviously if that opportunity rises, that it will take the opportunity to meet with them. let's give you some context on this quickly. australia has admitted that china remains is the biggest trade partner, but it's economy thoughtless because of the restrictions imposed by asia on australia and products like wine and barley. so it's filed a formal complaint to the w t o against the chinese barons,

and refers to the organization that's the best entity to solve these trade disputes . now as the world trade organization has formerly set how panels to hear those disputes, the key is it lacks the judges to hear an appeal of any decision that has ultimately due to the us vetoing appointments of additional judges to adjudicate the matters the by the administration. has said that the w t o appeal body quote over the steps its role and encroaches on us sovereignty. so australia and china, together with more than a 100 countries, have protested this judicial block by the united states. well, just bit earlier in the program i was discussing the matter with a kiddo shoe, a political analyst, and a senior fellow with a pen gold institute. a he says the us is a be using the concept of national security for its own profit hazardous. i think the us is clear that to be, are in the wrong and the taking advantage of the paralysis of the appeal bought

a ended up with you all the now this is a national security and if you talk to each national, pre to word, every book i don't think anybody really the us fear us clearly the i political and then the rest of the world is again for us. because the, for the rest of the economy is much smaller than the us. the need rule, clear rule of international order for all of example in terms of between and, and the economic intended. you follow that, that with your war multilateralism and that you know, you're probably gonna be t n a member. you can go to the t o to sets of the fields, and now the u. s. as a lobbyist economy has been that they are not playing the rules not following the rules and simply for the national interest at the court. national security abuse of the concept of national security. what should be

a time of celebration over the christmas period is anything but for christians and syria's italy province. and your report by a human rights group says that being briefly oppressed and are afraid to just even practice their religion every day. and the organization, syrians for truth and justice says the properties have been seized on a mass scale by islamists militant groups near the turkish border. some christians have been abducted for ransom and even killed in what appeared to be religiously motivated crimes. that's according to this report. now, western media reports have described insurgents who control much of the leap region as legitimate political opponents to the u. s. opposed government in damascus. and i have been multiple ceasefire agreements, implement in the province with a fragile truce still in place. we spoke earlier to an independent investigative journalist of vanessa bailey, she's based in damascus. she says that she went to rights groups. findings

ultimately contradict the western mainstream narrative about what's really happening in that country. 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 groups, and they effectively kicks or the christian or communities out of their homes. in order for you to be able to occupy those find stretches 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. yeah, that story continues right now online that r t dot com up just having to look myself just browsing the website. another big story on auto dot com right now. china repeating plans for military cooperation with the arab states. coming weeks off to the chinese president was in riyadh talking to opec plus read more about it. it's r t dot com. ah oh, oh, oh oh

i ah, ah. busy ah ah ah

ah let i was a mutual go wagner that my son with denise dillard i forgot to call today will be today. the not for sure. nimo movable when a few that with a both are still while we're group. where does, if god forbid, if there's anyone that ideally could only but if we're still playing yet, don't you the key addition because relish. exactly, because it was my you, you can mag rama which moves and is this.
