maturity instability continuing to expand dynamically. as we noted earlier, are relations are the best in history. they represent a model of cooperation between major powers and the 21st century, which dear friend, we're waiting for you to come on a state visit to moscow and springs me. 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 experts to china. and today we are in 2nd place in terms of piped gas supplies to china, and forth in terms of the volume of imported liquefied natural gas boom. the internal potential of bilateral co operation is becoming more and more evidence from january to november of this year. our tre 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 prior to 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 of 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. presidency. declare that china's partnership with russia is in the best interest of the world while russia's leader offered congratulations on his counterparts reelection. a. she also noted that the 2 leaders have been in constant contact this year. and just a little bit earlier in the program here at auto international, i heard more from c g t, n correspondent, dontcha or just a couple of days ago when china's florida former of foreign minister long

e delivered a speech on china's of foreign policy in 2022, he had also re, it's rated, the relationship between china and russia is rock solid and away and comes to the ukraine conflict. obviously, the u. s. had had, you know, failed to persuade china to join international sanctions. again, russia, china, russia, see each other as a strategic counter waited to the united states and share many common interests. you know, a boat that china and russia, i believe a mutual assistance between these 2 countries will effectively balance the u. s. and diffuse the d as strategic pressure dad. the strengthening of the chest landing the at ally as may bring to both countries. chinese, ready to work with the russia and the world to, to oppose. hagaman is a man of power politics, oppose them, unilateralism protectionism and bullion china, russia, matic partners, with a common goal of pushing back at a western dominant 8 dominated international system. la china has accused

a number of western media outlets of miss representing the situation of the country after a strict anti cope at measures but lifted in our number of nations. a previously urged beijing to drop the barriers of imposed travel restrictions on chinese nationals, autism or in a culture of a has her take on what some of calling a state of conflicting messages. it's the case on the damned. if you do damned the if you don't know the china is relaxing. it's shred, 0 comb, with policies after 3 long years, which is 1st and foremost as the expense. so it's economy. but for the sake of its people, western media are having a field day with headlines like being for did you know about 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 a 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. know china 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 the 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 cove measures, western leaders were keen to push bathing to compromise and meet the protesters, demands. calling susan, 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 their 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 you? and now people are a change in their tune, applaud in china's original success and. ringback concerning 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 have racist, and they've existed, they tried to get elected resumes. the 1st one that has, and i was like chris, this is we're the critical your 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. fast forward to this. if you've been to china get ready because the covert fast are back even for those who have been vaccinated . so what does the plan, or is it more of a make it up 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 that's right to the world. but maybe you should be about letting countries sort their problems out themselves. right,

so india needs global assistance on crypto regulation and common approaches needed . that's according to a financial stability to report issued by the countries reserved by oh, well, the group to acid market, it remains volatile. they have not yet been any spillover, is under the stability of the formal financial system. the accumulated experience, however, suggests that they form an unstable ecosystem to address potential future financial stability risks and to protect consumers and investors. it is important to arrive at a common approach to gripped her assets. a crypto assets are currently unregulated in india. and now new delhi has declared the issue of focal point that estimates there are a 100000000 active users in india. but earlier i was speaking to rascal men and vice president of the indian was an ex crypto platform. and he says that crypto regulation would bring benefits to both governments and traders. the army i had said is nothing new. you know, every 6 months the bay, she was

a similar statement than some love warnings about on crypto things get interesting in 2023 because india has become the president of g 20. what that means is that, you know, india against your bill. bill discussion that on crypto, the indian prime minister be a movie, as well as the for the finance minister. but i see that i may have been speaking about the need for a concerted global effort to regulate. so i think that in 2023 you will see a lot more action on those lines. all of us know that bill cannot be banned by regulation is a step in that direction because there was a frame for all the corridors to abide by. ah, the indian air force will dominate future battlefields. that's the statement from an i f wing commander of or a successful test of a supersonic air to surface cruise missile with an extended range. but the test was

carried out in the bay of bang goal for a target ship was hit from a distance of 450 kilometers out of this version of the missile had its range upgraded. the massage was launched by a modern su, 30 fighter jet that india jointly, manufacturers with russia. the plane is a significant part of the indianapolis, with more than $200.00 currently in service. and i was talking earlier with a former indian marshall emma, the one who told us that in the indian armed forces are going through a modernization and a currently on the forefront of military development. like any country has the modernization process is linked to the financial and budgetary process. what else? in all time frame to take a long time and lucian, nevertheless, the military problem. and it is one of the,

obviously believing military by the way, to me. but because even you know the nuclear capable of india and you've never been and with the nuclear modernization that taking place better, no doubt that you will consider major military, incoming israeli prime minister. netanyahu has vowed to make settlement expansion in the west bank, its priority policy. immediate reactions were forthcoming from palestine. yes. the state of palestine rejects the station, is violent, racist, and incitement to ethnic cleansing, policy guidelines of israel's new government. this agenda isn't existential threat to the blessed indian people and they're in eligible and inviolable rise or, yeah, i was, i nearly fall into coalition has already guidelines to advance on the west by territories . reportedly the incoming government is the most hard line and radical in the country's history. a western countries have previously condemned televisions moves

to legalize israeli settlements scattered throughout the west bank. meanwhile, the un envoy involved in the middle east peace process underline that security council meeting this past year. that, that will, this was part year, i should say, was actually the deadliest ever for those in the west bank. i am gravely concerned by the sharp increase in violence against civilians on both sides, which exacerbates mistrust and undermines a peaceful resolution of the conflict is really settlement expansion in the occupied west bank, including east jerusalem remains deeply concerning settlements constitute a flagrant violation of united nations resolutions and international law, they undermine the prospects of achieving a 2 state solution by systematically eroding the possibility of establishing a contiguous independent viable and sovereign palestinian state. meantime, some former israeli diplomats, or even penned a letter to the prime minister, expressing concerns to the new government that could be considered the most anti

arab in israel's history. the diplomat suggest of the new policy may seriously damage relations with other countries as the desired expansion in the west bank contradicts international law. we heard from locals there who noted serious concerns that mil her vehicle ma, these extremist government, has every intention of conducting an escalation against the palestinian people and set its eyes on imposing his radi control over the west bank and the rights of his rather people through all the land, maybe our shop. we are the world, the hannah. allah, alice indians have tried these governments, but this is the most extreme and racist government ever like it. but in light of the palestinian division, it doesn't look good for them on the palestinian areas. have been in flames this year. more than a 175 palestinians died in the west bank and 56 and gaza danielman hopper. what this government seeks to take over the west bank can increase the presence of his railey settlement. this year has been the bloodiest is many palestinians were

intentionally targeted and killed, which means israel wants to ethnically cleanse the west bank and clear all palestinians from it. as is said in these railey media, i was talking earlier to amir aura and a defense and government commentator who says that the income, income and government i should say, may be of concern to future peace in the region. this is a very dangerous period because for the last 14 years now, he's really government. most of them, of course, were headed by and you know, there was a period of the year and a half, not to with none of those governments has advanced the cause of peace. but these incoming government threatens to set back the cause of b by expanding settlement by threatening the viability of the future policy in state. and even we've been israel. there are problems is reli society and

that for the government, since he's seen by many israelis, half of these really population and baby legal, but not legitimate income with the international criminal court in the hague has upheld a 25 year sentence given to a uganda, an insurgent commander dominic on when was the leader of the gorilla group that called itself the lord's resistance army. he was implicated and atrocities left thousands bed and displaced in the countries north. ah. with one day at night, my blood man. mamma was sending that to we. we left form, we go to debbie friend, all i knew was telling me that he saw somebody before noon there always catching

dad children. so at night these people came and kicked the door and they started to say that we, darrell, my mean a young che, lower c vendor know anything. so i was know that the si se, but people because those started to pay that would natal with all course you will not ask anything. so no, i no options. you have to follow that all this eve, you say to day you are going to move. nowadays, you have to move and being a young child, i don't know any directions where these people are going. if you said you wanted to raise, you say ok if you want to read you lexia on it is was, is eve. you said you wanted to rest? no one desk in, you, ah,

the impact of the contract is too huge. so i lot of people we didn't call me to love to family members, so many people lost their property for this too. a lot of resentment. well this is archie national, ukrainian security forces have again raided an orthodox church this time of the central city of the appropriate prost. i'll leave this month. president zelinski signed a bill banning religious organizations affiliated with moscow, namely targeting the ukranian orthodox church. and besides the tax by nationalists, including the alleged torture and killing of a priest, some $850.00 people have been investigated by state authorities and around $350.00

buildings such according to our church officials. more than 70 restrictions are now in place aimed at blocking the churches activities. the russian foreign ministry says the ukrainian security services, executing the raids have no morals, the course of action to liquidate the ukrainian 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. we spoke earlier with the lat metal. a goiter chairman of the russian orthodox churches, media to off and he says, the whole situation is tied up with politics and it's the christian worshippers who are the ones suffering. i think that ah, reforms that to you grin and ah, leticia 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 international religious or international human rights organizations as well. i keep silence on this issue. the whole situation is it's a political construction because. busy as i've already said, the ukranian orthodox church is autonomous. ah, it's a, it's free in the financial administrative way. so all those faith reasons that they're using to abolish actually the church. ah, the, it's all made due to political reasons. there is no any dangerous links ah,

with rational to the church. and as i've already said, the people who go to church then with the threats to or ukraine non political power . they just people who believe in one god and that they, they belong to the same spiritual reality or shifting gears to africa now, where ethiopia airlines has resume flights to the capital of the t grey rebel held region. stating this will allow people that who were stranded to reunite with their families. we heard from some of the very 1st travelers who showed their relief of going home and reuniting with loved ones come with doesn't i lived here and has been separated from my husband and child whom i love. i came here for my daughter's examination and was suddenly stuck here. when i heard of the news, i fell to the ground and cried. i'm extremely happy and i wish it will continue like this. i pray that peace will be sustained when there is peace. there is every thing. so with this is

a joyful moment because we are going to meet our relatives after a long time. i am very excited. i pray to god that the remain in things like communication and other issues will also be addressed soon. oh, i came here to see my daughter who was giving birth at the time. my plan was to say just for 2 weeks and then everything shut down suddenly. it has been more than a year and a half. all righty. i'm very happy that pieces returning and excited the i'm finally going home. the move comes off it. here been officials are visited to grace capital mc kell. for the 1st time in years following the p steel broke by the african union, the truce is expected to end the conflict which broke out in november of 2020, between ethiopian federal forces and the te gray people's liberation in front. the conflict in ethiopia has left thousands of people on the brink of starvation, which the u. n. has called one of the worst famines in decades.

so bella roast has summoned the ukrainian ambassador off. the minsk stated that a ukrainian miss all had been shot down over better. russian territory will show you the remnants of the shrapnel of b. s 300 projectile. as you can see there, it landed in the field in the middle of nowhere really. and ukraine's military issued a statement saying that miss all could have been a stray weapon that had been meant to defend against a russian attack or was getting the latest details earlier without he car swollen. sofya nunez on thursday, bill i, russian air defense intercept that they acquainted me sail shortly after it entered the conscious airspace. while i was defense, ministry said that it was an as 300 rocket. i saw it. era air defense system currently in use in ukraine. and that it was shut down around 10 11 am local time with its fragments landed near a small village, some 15 kilometers from the ukrainian border. ukraine's ambassador was summoned to the foreign ministry in means to receive a formal protest. the incident has been under investigation and as of now the bill, russian defense ministry said that the probe has narrowed down to 2 versions of the

event. gutter was also roger william of you to target the derive from do ukrainian side was taken out by air defense systems, as are combat crews responded accordingly. questions remain about this instant and we are considering 2 versions. either. this is the unintentional launch of an anti aircraft missile due to insufficient combat training or missile malfunction. or this is a deliberate provocation by the armed forces of ukraine. we're rolling so greatly. this latest incident is similar to that in november when, as 300 messiah landed, than village and poland, killing 2 people and spark and concerned that nato would be drawn into the conflict neg then russia denied keith delegations led the miss. alack him from its territory later, warsaw and washington confirmed that it was a ukrainian air defense missile launched to intercept russian attacks. so i, before we wrap up the pilot program here on our t international, just some news coming in at this moment from the turkish province of aiden. for at
