stated that air defense systems are operating throughout the country. we understand air and sea based missile attacks have been reported. and the black sea port city of a desa has also been experiencing water and electricity shortage as well. meantime, here in russia, explosions have also been reported in the western city of belgrade, very near the ukrainian border. this video was taken by local residence, as russian authorities say that air defense systems are operating in that region. for the update to bring you as well from don bass. as we understand a one person has not been killed and 2 others wounded index city. and what local say is the latest round of ukrainian artillery attacks on residential areas. the following footage are showing the movement an apartment building was hit by a rocket, or the shell fragments appear to be from a soviet designed grad rocket system. the mayor says key of forces find at least 16

of them into the city. and local authorities also say the ukrainian military has been increasing its artillery attacks on the residential areas, all of which are allegations key f denies, so on that very aspect is our correspondence still embedded in the region. romano culture, one person was killed and 3 people were wounded in genetic as the results of ukrainian artillery, shoving ukrainian nationalist used multiple launch or rocket systems and fired against civilian areas. here in the next, i'm standing in one of the houses right now. the suffered at direct hit by those grad missiles. now a woman that was killed, she was in her bed jury that sack so she, it happened about 6 p. m. i only had my window settings. 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 in damascus, taking place on a daily basis with last a few weeks that had been using multiple launch rocky systems. this is a fragments of a show that landed in this residential building. several apartments here had been destroyed hand once again as the result of the shilling, at least 3 people were wounded. a one person was killed from one cause for a r t. the next republic overwhelmed doctors and patients without care. that's the current situation and hospitals across china as it lifts cove, it or structures nationwide will at least according to videos circulating on social media. the following footage was reportedly filmed in various chinese hospitals, put, trying a new surgeon infections. 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 at 0 looked on policy,

which was eased at this december. amid a spate of protests, now headlines in recent months have described the chinese government as a self made victim of its own covert restrictions and state that the reported new wave of infections as let a cremation centers being overwhelmed. well, beijing has lashed out at those claims, saying that nothing more than an example of double standards being pushed by the western mainstream. 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. of people on social media, we're also quick to point out what they say. a contradictory story is when it comes to the media's reporting of china's cove at policy. pictures are posted on twitter,

showing a number of media outlets. it's doing contrary statements in the span of just a couple of months. those went from claims that quote, china's covert policy is a nightmare to that of china is unprepared for the situation at hand. while china has now relaxed as policies, some countries have set up new restrictions of their own. washington announce new measures will apply to old travelers and coming from china, including obligatory testing, but getting early next month. other nations, such as japan, malaysia, india, and south korea have all a now similar requirements for chinese rifles, which are reported to include tracking and various surveillance measurements. the chinese government has repeatedly said its measures during the past 3 years were aimed at protecting its people. and c, g t, n correspondent, uniform. joe says that this country did that. the view in china was that many other nations put in place policies that people was suffering from 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 overcome. china do have experience facing the ami, 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 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, do any 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 pen to make it, let's say, take you as an example. i mean, a lot of the policy just when you 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 china is practicing it, respects signs it respects to how the country is making efforts to boost is medical reserves and p c r 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 the britain has been pushing africa to switch to green energy, but is at the very same time engaged in looking for oil. and somali is northern region. the federal government of somalia categorically rejects general energy policies, 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 in its permanent sovereignty over its natural resources. somalia is a defect, her or somalia landra as a defector of somalia and it obtained its independence in 9 to 9 to one. but no foreign power actually recognizes it as an independent. now, so monday land is highly prospects 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 officer, my dear land. and with that, that statement is condemning the illegal activities of janelle off. this british

owned company emphasizing that it should even refrain from claiming the rights to somalia land. now, the federal government has also released within that press statement, putting to now, in the light of a corrupt company that is illegally occupying or looking to occupy the resources of that northern region on journals 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 2022. when it was all systems go for going into that region of somalia. now just to give a little bit of background, we know that. so maria land gained the independence in 1960 and 5 days they, after they made the decision to join forces with somalia in becoming the great to 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 within somalia land withdrawing from there to

read from that union and reasserting and sovereignty in 1991. but 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 gin now, which is of u k r. and you will also note that the u. k. has an office in somebody, a lender liaison office and somebody land and somebody land has an office in the u . k as, while 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 or the only ones granted to authorized to grant a mineral rights to any of the company. now with somalia recognizing so my 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 then recognized, so my dear land only to benefit from its oil by jeryn police say they've rescued more than 200 people who've been kidnapped in the last 9 months. comes a mid rise in criminal activity and violence said regrettably, how swept across the nation. oh, more mascot nothings occurred in the country this past week. at this nearly 60 people abducted one person killed balance has increased during the last few months with different ethnic groups waging various fearsome battles. now, according to local authorities and armed islamist faction attack to villagers shooting residents, including christian herdsman and burning down a homes just a bit earlier in december. local correspondence, hollywood, david, gives us an ode of you know, the people of saturn katerina have once again the phone in the 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 thick enough people for ransom, loose, famous produce, still livestock, bridge, houses, cars. but the cycles and keel residents, local authorities see repress a looks acts between headers and farmers are responsible for these killings. 72 year old moses so far. a correct indian on a farmer who narrowly escaped been killed but lost, forming the thieves in the latest attack, says valentine's castle head, as she would be blamed so much that come to a house one you won't to approach were parked some of your property. do you and in bond house you are farm and do everything to see that we get quite

your family and i will pose these cows inside. and i'd rather you said somebody, your other children, the old site season, is usually a time when people living in different areas and cities get together to rejoice and reconnects with the families of the countryside. suddenly, some communities here in sodom cardona on able to enjoy foot facilities as more than 40 people, have been killed. and over $100.00 homes burned down in repricing, which in farmers and hed us in the last few days, indigenous people of the affected communities. for now, left with memories of the loved ones home for the government will do better as improving security, calling on the government 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 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 a gross jewels on saudi families of those killed described the acts as inhumane, but said the people should remain calm as the government is working. took a tale of a crisis camera trying with turn cirrus all you got. sometimes it's teams would come out a form of government even who 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 spoke with her and she had it and bonded in the north. what's my curious precedence? mohammad po, hurry in, says that he is living no stone unturned to reduce insecurity to the barest minimum, even as a country's general elections. joel near. so good to have your company with us. ours program, quote, no easy, old quiet way. that's the australian trade minister. something up, the process needed to resolve its ongoing trade dispute with china. as comes as disputes in the world trade organization have led to both can bra and beijing, teaming up 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 very quickly. australia has admitted that china remains is biggest trade partner, but it's economy suffers because of beijing's restrictions on australian products like wine. so it's filed a formal complaint to the w t o against the chinese bans, and refer to the organization as the best entity to sol. these trade disputes now, as the w t o has formerly set up panels to hear those disputes. the key is this. it doesn't have the judges to hear any appeal of any decision that's due to the us retailing appointments of additional judges to adjudicate the matters. the biden administration has said the w t. o appeal body quote oversteps its roll and encroaches on us sovereignty. so australia and china, together with more than $100.00 countries, and now protesting the traditional block by the united states. well, earlier in the program, i was discussing the matter with a chin though. sure. political analyst and senior fellow with

a pan goal institute. now, according to him, he says the united states is abusing the concept of national security for its own profit, haven't listened to this. i think the us is clear that to be, are in the wrong and of the taking advantage of the paralysis of the appeal body added that with you all could now be a national security. and if you talk to each national pre to ask word every book, i don't think that we agree with you as fear us clearly the i political and then the rest of the world is again for us. because in the, for the rest of the economy is much smaller than the us. the need rule, clear more international order for all of his ankle in terms of between and, and the economic candid you follow the tablet, your ward multilateralism. and you did your focus on any member, you can go to the fact that these 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 the national security global leadership and the unification of the european union will, according to ukrainian president vladimir landscape during his new years, addressed to the countries parliament. these are some of his 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. well, zalinski say the ukraine is one with the quote, freest in the world is like that person who's really kind of mediocre at best. and who 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. zelinski 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 zelinski address to u. s. congress last week. you know, churchill war air raid overalls to the white house in 941 zelinski 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 in that i was 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 guess of the figures that making ukraine the west twin would probably work as well. the west has freedom of worship and under zelinski 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 the cleaning constitution, which no longer matters and in the face of this, the, by the ministration has said nothing, not one word. instead they just continued to push to send zalinski more tax dollars . so naturally, zalinski has become much bolder. why wouldn't he? 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, zelinski is 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. zalinski propos, bill to titan, government, and control over the countries media was voted in the ukrainian parliament, despite western concerns, 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 alteri and regimes it must be withdrawn, a state that would apply 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 as twins with churchill. so you know, what's the hold up? jessica means that both enjoy the same which haunting 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 of 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 traitors than the military will do it, there is no other way. i talk 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 suddenly speech department, maybe it's the west that she'd 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. so. really, is it any wonder that lensky looks at all of this and thinks that she's looking at a mirror image of ukraine? and so what should be a time of celebration over the christmas period as anything but for christians and syria as easily province? a new report by a human rights group says that being brutally oppressed in a simply afraid of just practicing their religion and organization. syrians for truth and justice says that properties have been seized on a mass scale by islamists, middleton groups near the turkish border. some christians have been abducted for ransom and even killed and what appears to be religiously motivated crimes. that's

according to this new report. now, western media reports of describe insurgents who control much of the region as legitimate political opposition to the u. s. opposed to government in damascus. they have been multiple, sees far agreements implemented for the province with a fragile truce still in effect. while we were speaking a bit earlier in the program to independent investigative journalist, a vanessa bailey, vanessa is based in damascus. she says that human rights groups of findings ultimately contradict the western mainstream narrative about what's really happening in that country. this report as a refreshing change from the usual protectionism that we have from western aligned 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 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 well, it's great to have your company for this program, but listen to this one. the ministry of health in india has lawrence and investigation. after breakfast on has linked the deaths of nearly 20 children to an

indian made cough syrup cold. dock one, max samples of the cough syrup have been taken from the manufacturing premises and center regional drug testing, laboratory, gender, gar, for testing official affairs said that the medicine had levels of a substance well above what is considered safe for children. a previously gambia accused indian, the pharmaceutical companies to be completed in the deaths of over 60 kids. earlier we spoke with edelman for amanda, the director of the edward and cynthia institute of public health, who spoke about the real questions needing to be asked. its not every day that someone years old golf sit up sort of medicines that are not being aligned with quality control. now the real question that lies is how, since, how long has the biggest and been receiving medicine,

then got it up manufactured from this particular company. that's going number one. boy, number 2, what we need to understand is, has all of the products that are reached, the hospitals being defective or only this particular cds. was there any quality control object done by that was big authorities? was there any tampering done by anybody, arrows? oh boy, doctors prescriptions and waste or did the children take them on their own. so there are multiple questions that this, that over 18 or. busy children these and very, very important questions, but global diplomacy to address it's really disturbing story that us continue on line right now. in the meantime. thanks for joining us here at our into national from moscow. it's always good to have your company more of your headline still to come when we return to the top of the

i what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be in arms. race is on very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very particular time to sit down and talk with

my bill, but sure was to further there's a lot of this is terry toby of health toby co, 5th one, your bully mazda thumbs them a tool for them. a 3, a 3, a $36.00, would you mind touch supplied us? it will show the results would be locked in to contribute to radio, not the smallest one other the nikima to what is the most helpful design here that should be taught to prolong all i said pulmonary physics kia that, that was ludmilla dealer, a little bit, $234.00 a month. chandel is it. i love it to us. we know him, but it does are pretty put. there's only so many cars for his for 3rd, some muslims. but them all as you feel like she lives for aaliyah's will be which is what i will as a fellow.
