a lucille to proceed professionally, let's say to you the one you put up the list of all, but yet with ah ah, the face of a complex and ambiguous international situation. we are ready to step up strategic cooperation with russia and provide each other with opportunities for development withstanding all tests, both the summary of russian and chinese, bilateral relations from vladimir putin, after a video conference held with his counterpart coming to spiked with the president. this bribe does direct pressure from western countries. outside of beijing hits back out western criticism of ritz removal of coven restrictions coming after the same nations called for china to do just that. but calling i column

pele, has done the brazilian past the way, 882 in his homeland after a long battle with wherever you're catching the program from today across the world. welcome to moscow on the news drop in our t to our top story. the best in history on withstanding all test that's according to vladimir putin, is the state of relations between russia and china. the russian president held a video conference with his counterpart, she gen, paying today. in the run up to the new year, they summed up the 2 nations by lateral cooperation in 2022, including some huge trade numbers and outline goals for the future. was listed in the context of increasing geopolitical tensions. the importance of the russian chinese partnership as a stabilizing factors increasing are relations adequately withstand all tests and

demonstrate maturity instability continuing to expand dynamically. as we noted earlier, our relations are the best in history. they represent a model of cooperation between major powers and the 21st century at which dear friend, we're waiting for you to come on a state visit to moscow and springs. you mean? this will demonstrate to the whole world, the strength of russian chinese ties on key issues and will become the main political event of the year in our bilateral relations. despite the unfavourable external environment, illegitimate restrictions and direct blackmail by some western countries. russia and china have managed to ensure high growth rates of export commodity turnover. russia has become one of the leaders in oil exports to china. and today we're in 2nd place in terms of piped gas applies to china and forth in terms of the volume of imported liquefied natural gas boom. the internal potential of bilateral cooperation is becoming more and more evidence from january to november of this year. our trade turnover exceeded 170000000000

u. s. dollars. our investment cooperation has been optimized and integrated and cooperation in the energy sector plays a cornerstone row, a number of joint projects and priorities sectors. i steadily been implemented into regional cooperation is gaining momentum in the face of a complex and ambiguous international situation. we are ready to step up strategic cooperation with russia and provide each other with opportunities for development to be global partners with russia for the benefit of the people of our countries and in the interest of stability throughout the world. president, she declared that china is partnership with russia, is in the best interest for the world who are russia's leader in turn offered congratulations on his counterparts reelection. she also noted that the 2 leaders had been in constant contact this year and hailed renewed ties and the cultural and sporting spheres are your. i spoke with nelson wong, vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies. thing time, we expect the focus on the 2 nations economic partnership to continue

the world is definitely developing towards multi polarity and that's for sure. and i think china is a one upcoming big power and of russia is also won. so of the days when there is one superpower, which is the u. s, that is actually history. so where we have to face the reality. so it's very important that countries like a china and russia being the major players in wild politics, should come together and polk. and i hope more emphasis should be placed on the economic cooperation between the 2 countries. because russia is now in the process of a restructuring, it's overall economic structure as a country instead of relying only on oil and gas export, which is

a fundamental step in russia's economic development. and that's where china is supposed to be able to offer some assistance, not only a for export, but also for investment as well. so there is a lot to be expected and down the line between the 2 countries. something else to note, the us state department has approve the potential sale of a $180000000.00 worth of anti tank systems to taiwan. made soaring tensions between washington and asian over the island, adds to a recently aramark $10000000000.00. if u. s. military aid for taiwan, which china considers its sovereign territory. beijing has been conducting military drills to bide administration doubled on non its commitment to ty pays independence movement. the chinese foreign ministry also offered this stern warning against you until you realize in the complete reunification of the motherland is

a common will of all the sons and daughters of china and an irresistible historical trend. we believe that the broad masses of taiwan compatriots have a profound sense of righteousness and will not serve as cannon fodder for the separatists. forces of taiwanese independence had open attention to escalate it again. this week when a u. s. armed forces, spokespersons that a chinese fighter jet came within 3 meters of the u. s. military aircraft in the, such on a c forcing it to take a vase of maneuvers to a faithful collision. china, you have to comment about the claims. what you're seeing here though, that's issues between beijing and washington coming to a had in august after us. hi speaker. nancy pelosi come true. firstly, touched on in taiwan. after that other us lawmakers and foreign delegations began queuing up to visit the island. the move sparked outrage from china, which in turn conducted unprecedented like fire drills near taiwan asian. the 1st

specialist ross, find gold, is the u. s. public supports sending weapons to taiwan because they think it helps support democracy. so many different things. in other organizations, both in the united states or in europe, as well as here in taiwan. they frequently paul the public. again, whether in europe, the us or taiwan, about port for sending us troops, or in some cases your european troops. if there is a military conflict between taiwan and china and we do see some holes that show higher levels of support, but certainly far from the overwhelming level of support. and frankly, in recent months, there's been a number of polls where the u. s. public seems inclined to follow the ukraine model, which be that would be that, should there be a conflict? support sending weapons, but don't support sending us personnel to defend taiwan said. message of supporting fellow democracy, even if people want to argue about how small democracy sharks. but did message that

we should support if our democracy this is still very strong, and it's popular in the united states, whether that's with members of congress who are with the general public. and this message goes down very well. well, china has accused a number of western media outlets of misrepresenting the situation in the country after its strict anti cobit measures were lifted. and now a number of nations that previously urged beijing to remove the barriers of imposed travel restrictions on chinese nationals, ostensibly amid fears of the virus. spreading ortiz marina costs for, but takes a deeper look into the conflicting messages. it's the case of damned if you do damned the if you don't know the china is relaxing its shred, 0 covert policies after 3 long years, which is 1st and foremost at the expense of its economy. but for the sake of its

people, western media are having a field day with headlines like these for this, you know, that as of may this year, more than 1000000 people have died from call it in the us. we learned that more than 1000000 americans have now died from the disease or milestone. we didn't want to think about, but new was coming. it pandemic that's far from over. that's more than any country in the world. now, did we see the same hysteria in the media as we're seeing now with china? of course, not as the us took the headline lead in the number of deaths and cases during the pandemic where americans singled out and forth to be tested more than other world travelers. no time is asking how come 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. just a few weeks ago when we saw dozens of protests across various cities in china against the country, strict coven measures western leaders were keen to push bathing to compromise, and meet the protesters, demands calling fusion, paying an authoritarian dictator. china has to figure out a way forward on dealing with was covered a way for that answers the of the health needs, but also answers the needs of people. locked down is not a policy that we support here. but obviously there are people in china that, that have concerns about that, and they're protesting that. and we believe they should be able to do that piece for i think we're seeing the chinese people speak up for more freedom against the coven lockdown policies. i support that, well, what happened? you got, what you wanted didn't shoot, and now people are a change in their tune. applaud in china's original success in. ringback confirming the virus and saying that now it's a disaster, even japan,

which was asking china to relax its quarantine measures just a month ago, is now afraid of chinese travelers and in america. as always, the double standards are comical. remember when the by the administration will smear in trumps china travel back at the start of the pandemic as racist. no republican president nor democratic president, we've have racist, and they've existed, they tried to get elected resumes. the 1st one that has an amazon chris, this is we're a credible year president is most needed. that explains what we should and should not do. this is no time for donald trump record of mr. xenophobia historical jennifer. you fast forward to this. if you've been to china get ready because the coven tasks are back even for those who have been vaccinated . so what was the plan, or is it more of

a make it off as you go along kind of approach, as long as it's against china? who knows either way, it's clear that in today's reality, whatever beijing comes up with, it's wrong. it locks people up authoritarian. it opens up its reckless and the right to the world. but maybe you should be about letting countries sort their problems out themselves the guess and fails to tell you by bella. ruth says some of the ukrainian ambassador on allegations not an urgent ukrainian missile, was shocked on over bela russian territory. these are the remnants of the es $300.00 projectiles. the incident did not cause any casual teeth. ukraine's military issued a statement saying the missile could have been a stray weapon that had been meant to defend against the russian to talk that russian state media has reported that the missiles warhead did not explode and would be safely destroyed. now while kiev another central ukrainian regions

engaged, there are defences on thursday areas, and don buff came under a barrage of artillery attacks my ukrainian troops with at least a dozen nato great high mars rockets reportedly shot at residential areas in the loo against republic. while a neighboring town, yet, local officials said 18 missiles were fired of several populated areas. the a residence that the program spoke to said that smoke had really blanketed parts of the regions administrative center and no immediate injuries were reported. ukrainian security forces have again rated an orthodox church this time in the central city of dynette pro patrol sc. earlier this month, president saelens be signed the bill binding religious organizations affiliated with moscow, nearly targeting the cleaning orthodox church,

which has been traditionally linked with russia. besides attacks by nationalists, including the legend killing of a priest, some 850 people have been investigated by kit. and around $350.00 buildings searched according to church officials more than 70 restrictions are now in place. aimed blocking it and its followers activities. the russian foreign ministry said the ukrainian security services, executing the raids of no morals, its course of action to liquidate the ukranian orthodox church to seize holy sites, churches and monasteries to persecute clergy, members and other orthodox faithful. those searches and raids of religious sites by the ukrainian security forces have not relented. priests are being detained on allegations of treason and collaboration. those who are doing this have neither virtue or morals. while earlier we get the fault in this story from the mirror like

going to chairman of the russian orthodox churches, media department. i think that ah reforms that the grand and ah, electricians are talking about is not the right word for the situation. what we're witness in here is an attempt to abolish the entire church in a completely illegal and lawless way the only canonical church in ukraine. i mean, of course the ukrainian orthodox church. it is a gross violation over human rights. unfortunately, i'm not surprised at all that the international religious are or international human rights organizations as well. a keep silence on this issue. the whole situation is it's a political construction because as i've already said, the ukranian orthodox church is autonomous. ah, it's ah, it's free in a financial administrative way. so all those faith reasons that they're using to

abolish actually the church. ah, the, it's all made you to political reasons. there is no any dangerous links ah, with a russian orthodox church. and as i've already said, the people who go to church then with the threats to or ukraine and political power, they just people who believe in one god and that they, they belong to the same spiritual reality. the man, simply known as the king of football pele, has died. the brazilian passed away at the age of 82 in his homeland after a long battle with cancer. pallet's daughter confirmed the sporting legend stat saying doctor said that he had suffered multiple oregon failure due to colon cancer regarded as football's greatest by many. m. l a won the world cup with brazil 3 times the only player ever to do. so. he also still holds the record of the

youngest player to score the tournament that a 17 years old and is loaded as a gold like finger in his home nation. the striker grew up in poverty now devoted his life off the field to supporting those in need by establishing many charities to help impoverish children around the world. brazil's government tennis occurred 3 days of official a morning following his dad would like to bring, you know, part of an exclusive interview. rti did with pele dedicated to the previous world cup and russia, where the icon shared his views on sports and life. i saw my father, he was with another players in my house to to listen to games that them didn't have to be. then i saw my father crying with his friend. i didn't understand as to why my father cried because they always they say me, ok main. the guy main them. glad we got telephone somebody to make the connection.

but the connection some time go out. this is the father. we want the walk up. we will do all up. i have to go outside to tell to my father you. so we welcome back to the good when the case is a different order the at the was very important to me because 70 as my 1st little club. well, they do have other ward from me, a child who rose from poverty to become a true global superstar l. e is widely remembered for his military work force, as well as his astonishing contribution to the beautiful game term he's credited as coining. you can tell further into the legend, legacy and r t dot com from lots of tributes to be read there to another. so betray today to tell you that by tonight, british fashion designer inactive as vivian westwood has died at the age of 81, she passed away, surrounded by her family in london. westward was known as the queen of extreme

fashion, with her punk style in the 1900 seventy's making its way into the global arena. the business woman was also a prominent supporter of wiki leaks, funder julian assault. she attended numerous protests demanding freedom for the jail journalists. westwood spoke to r t several times, including in 2016 when she offered her views on a host of issues. we have to stop the rotten financial system because that is the means by which they control the whole world. there's no opposition and we have to build that position because you have to work through government. you have to give them a feeling that they're being overpowered by, as they opinion against them, who want of all the people who want to save the world instead of recreate by continuing with the rotten financial system. it causes war of course, and it causes climate change and it's designed to create poverty. this ron

financial system is very simple. everything disconnected war is connected with the rotten financial system because was all waged for land for what's in the land now, because the wreck in the planet and taken everything up and also for cheap labor, you know the slaves. that's what was before. originally, that's what, let's fill for. and so, and it's all to do with the few people, this 1000000 people who have the power in the world. and they want to play the game like everybody's poems in their game. you know, and so war is directly to do with the rotten financial system, is the cause of all problems. what we've got to do is promote the idea of what a wonderful world the green economy will be. people will be equal to each other. so, but you'll, you'll get culture instead of consumption,

everybody's sucking up. you'll get human beings become a better human beings live as a thing before you'll get to paradise. will option returns the the journalist who conducted the interview on host of our team going underground show shared his thoughts earlier on the fashion icons, legacy thing. she was never afraid to fight for what she believed was right. vivian westwood. noticing the interviews with her that i did, she never talks about herself. she's always talking about something else. and that's what made her so dangerous. she or she never stopped talking about her passions. and she was passionate about the developing world you'd only in june. i mean, take, take care, take ukraine. she's a, i've never afraid of being able to broach tropic she immediately. i mean, in june she was posting on instagram saying, what is this racism? why ukrainian refugees because of their skin color,

given preferential treatment than all those of color who have been suffering and whose families may have been killed or persecuted in countries. the subject of nature was it was quite amazing to see how of course lee had major nation media, love vivian, westwood, or at least love a part of vivian westwood. they didn't like when he met julian, a sorry they would minimize the year lee, what she was trying to tell the world about what was being done by the british government in terms of torturing him. she said, and claimed on behalf of the united states today marks that 100th anniversary of the funding of the soviet union. the country existed for 7 decades with russian president vladimir putin describing its collapse as the greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century. they should have it so the soonest a bit. i'm going to layers goodwin in 1991 and believe erica pasha without asking

the will of ordinary citizens. representatives of the then party elite decided to collapse the u. s. s. r and people suddenly found themselves cut off from their homeland. this tore apart, dismembered our people's community and turned into a national catastrophe. as once after the revolution, the borders of the union republics were cut behind the scenes. so the last leaders of the soviet union, contrary to the direct expression of the will of the majority of the people in the 1991 referendum, ruined our great country. and simply confronted the peoples with a fact. will a treaty to create the union was signed in 1922 by 4, a socialist republics, russia, belarus, ukraine on the trans caucasian republic which later slid into at georgia, armenia, and azerbaijan. during the 1st 2 decades of the union, several new republics were formed in central asia. on the 1940s as the country

expanded westward, estonia lot fear unless you any on the moldova in republic was found. so at the time of collapse, the refine republics. the republic started to break away in the early 19 ninety's and in december 1991, the leaders of russia, ukraine and belarus, signed an accord. seeing the soviet union no longer existed, ortiz dollar quartered, discussed the ramifications of the u. s. s. r's collapse with philosopher and writer alexander duncan ah, 0 politically speaking. so the tune on was a continuation over their russian empire, ideologically. it was quite different. soviet union was direct, continuation and realization of the a, lend power opposite to or see power if we consider that full all the soviet union. and this geopolitical aspect, the meaning called that was

a kind of defeat of the land power and frond oh, that see power. that was a great catastrophe. off of these a heart land and the big achievements, all of the sea power or global western liberal solution, e for soviet union would survive. and now this a catastrophic eat, or will be a kind of room, eurasia newton, a kind of urine empire or re torn today when classical or russian empire with surgical central isn't ant multiplicity, all the anthony groups leaving inside you should. and you are obliged thought bruiser and safe to save the country, the unity, the strategical control over it,

or including all or all ethnic groups who without and transforming, transform you to country without losing their power, all their central government. so you could make reform, you could change some are some aspect of economy, but you know, or should loose the sovereignty and control over geopolitical space. in order to make correct got transformation over the ideal, you should discard the you of the engine tradition. so now china is a communist, political power with confucianism, in the center, and with our success, full control over our growing liberal market. the chinese didn't. it didn't a div tore that society a liberal democracy ways,

a liberal market. they have preserved to article on government over the country with a unique and who will unite that power political power. and they have submitted ah liberal economy to it. main problem for the west to accept that west could be a province of the humanity, not the saunter, not the capital. so it is just there, but it is not the whole of humanity. and multiple already is about that. are ash a fight for a right to different civilizations, to affirm themselves with it's inherent our system of well is that good coincide or not? coincide was really western. well, so nothing universal exist in multiple edited. there is a kind of relate. if bodily universalism, there is not, not only one universalism, western modern by their quote exist,

and co exist. civilizations are defending they right to create their own political cultural artist system. so that is the, the, the meaning of that multiplicity put reality off of the civilization. and multiple r a t fights against this claim, not against the west as such, but against a claim over the west. to be the model to be the unique example of the progress all of the history and that the standing of time old man off off technology is there is no one unique universal model ah, to impose on all this civilizations. that is, what is this fight and you cry it is. well, if you'd like to tell further into any of our stories or interviews to day do let's r t dot com, do the heavy lifting. always fresh content lively discussions to be found there as

well. my for now ah ah ah ah ah ah.

in the ukranian oligarchs, private armies, a murdering thug had a salary of $1300.00 a month for this the well nationalist battalion fighters beyond the control of the regular army to do the dirty work, but not even the ukrainian special services dead to perform the mother ship koreans cannot release us, putting him into the school, go to unit of christ upon us. and so i watched him up on that and then you got the needles to get out of it. but all sorts of option you do, you really was focused on just a me to be what a life .
