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. 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 supplies to china, and forth in terms of the volume of imported liquefied natural gas boom. the internal potential of biological cooperation is becoming more and more evidence

from january to november of this year. our tre turn over, 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. a precedent credit and she declare that china's partnership with russia is in the best interests of the world while russia's liter offered congratulations on his counterparts reelection. as she also noted that the 2 leaders had been in constant contact all year long. and we got this report from c g t n correspondent, don check. or just a couple of days ago when china's florida fomor of foreign minister long he

delivered a speech on china's all foreign policy. when he'd, when he'd to, 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 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, both at china and russia. believe that mutual assistance between these 2 countries will a effectively balance the u. s. and diffuse the d as strategic pressure than the strengthening on the chest landing at ally as may bring to both countries. chinese ready to work with russia and the world to oppose. hagaman is a man of power politics, oppose them. unilateralism protectionism and bully and china, russia like magic partners with a common goal of pushing back at

a western dominant 8 dominated international system. the indian air force will dominate future battlefields. that is the statement from an i a f wing commander after a successful test of a super sonic at a surface cruise missile with an extended range of the test was carried out above a bay of bang goal, where a target ship was hit from a distance of 450 kilometers out of this version of the missile did have its range upgraded. the massage was doors by a modern su 30 fight, a drug, india jointly, manufacturers with russia. the plane is a significant part of the indian air force, more than $200.00 of them currently in service. i was speaking earlier with former indian air marshal and mothers, one who told us that the modernization of the indian armed forces is a top priority for the country. like any country has the modernization process is linked to the financial and budgetary process.

what else? in all bank frame and the big fairly long time. nevertheless, the military, but it will be strong. and it is one of the obviously believing military by the way to me. but because even, you know, it's a nuclear capable of india and you've never been with the significant nuclear modernization that taking place no doubt that you will consider made them electric, incoming israeli prime minister, netanyahu was vile to make settlement expansion in the west bank. his priority policy though, of course it prompted immediate reactions forthcoming from palestinians. the state of palestine rejects the station as violent, racist,

and incitement to ethnic cleansing, policy guidelines of israel's new government. this agenda is an exhaust actual threat to the blessed indian people and they are ineligible and inviolable. rise that the newly formed coalition has released guidelines to yvonne thornton, the westbank territories. reportedly the incoming government is the most hotline and radical and the country's history of western countries have previously condemned televi. tv's moves to legalize israeli settlements scattered throughout the west bank. meanwhile, are you an envoy involved in the middle piece process underline that are security council meeting, but this past year was 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. or some former israeli diplomat of even penned a letter to prime minister benjamin and yell expressing concerns that the new government, the what could be considered that of the most anti arab in israel's history. to promote so suggest that the new policy may seriously damage relations with other countries as the desired expansion in the west bank ultimately contradicts international law. but we heard from locals there who noted some pretty serious concerns that mil her vehicle marvis extremist government, has every intention of conducting an escalation against the policy and people and set its eyes on important is rally control over the west bank and the rights of his rally people through all the land. maybe i shop. i know all the i'm

a little palestinians 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. palestinian areas have been in flames this year. more than a 175 palestinians died in the west bank and 56 and gaza. danielman had thought that this government seeks to take over the west bank can increase the presence of his railey settlements. this year has been the bloodiest, as many palestinians were intentionally targeted and killed, which means of israel wants to ethnically cleanse the west bank and clear all palestinians from its r, as is said in the israeli media. la, joining me other in this program was amir oran. a defense and government commentator who says of the incoming government and may be of concern to the issue of future peace in that region. this is a very dangerous period because for the last 14 years now he's really government. most of them, of course, we're headed by the time you know, but there was

a period of the year and a half not to with none of those governments has advanced because of fees. but the incoming government threatens to set back the cause of b by expanding settlement by directing that by ability of the future unions. and even within israel, there are problems is really society and that for the government, he's seen by many israelis of these really population of baby legal. but luckily with or this is our t international. so good to have your company. the former french president frontal on has related to what reiterate to say what others have said, but the minsk agreement set to bring peace in the dawn. bass was simply used to give key of time to prepare for war. yes, angular merkel is right on this point. since 2014 ukraine has strengthened its

military poster. thus, the time that put in thought was an asset for him, turned out to be in fact, an opportunity for the ukrainians. such a revelation appeared to contradict his previous statements on the matter. in 2016, a visit to romania, the form of french liter told reporters the minsk agreements are the only option to sustain peace and stability in ukraine. or this while for my german chancellor angler merkel recently admitted the minsk agreements was simply arranged, took by time for keith. the 2014 minsk agreements was an attempt to give you credit time. you can use this time to become stronger as you can see today. the ukraine of 20142015 is not the ukraine of today speaking, but earlier in the program with a crystal, they all the founder of don bass insider. she told us that the e u has lost its legitimacy to mediate any piece deals with russia and ukraine. how

about listen to this new cooking said hey, we will, we will discuss with people worried july. so obviously we signed the paper in 2 years after i said, oh, we just misled you, we did, she did it and we like to you, but you can discuss with this kind of people, you cannot sign any agreements with this so. so the credibility of the european union is now completed and so they have no need you to the, to, to, to, to talk about any p talks or any piece proposals. or, i mean, because russia will, of course, not find any paper with them. because now the russian authorities have been to that any paper assigned with the western leaders. as absolutely no one you absolutely no more blasts victories and eliminating the opposition. this from the head of ukraine's security service,

who has promised an all out effort in the new year and this in his latest interview to achieve the goal, he added what he called the cleansing of fans of the russian world. i can predict the sweet thing seem to come in year more blasts and new special operations of the secure the services of ukraine for the cleansing of the 1st column and fans of the russian world inside the ukraine. and most importantly, new, legendary victories of the ukraine and defenders time to learn more crossing live out again, us put in the a finished chief editor of m v. let he a very good evening to you. so thank you very much for coming on the program. there it is, the cleansing of fans of russia. he said it. what are your thoughts? janice? look to boise what's has been put on on 2014 to clean the area for on demand a movement. the staking higher and higher sticks. that's what we see on

1st of all, abolishing the political opposition parties. now. oh, totally closing down the media's and haunting down people will be otherwise than the official narrative agenda. this is terrible. great. doesn't exist us constitutional state anymore. this is the reality. yanna say during the surgery, this interview that the head of ukraine security service. so he talked about the cleansing of the 5th column which enemy within the country. is he referring to i dont know this sounds like a nazi germany. guess of bull leader saying a lot of things were what were secret still in the 2nd world war, but now they are even saying these out loud. oh, what we have witnessed over the 2022 has been a lot of things to do with this claim. seen operations oh,

pressing though. granted people to why it down to keep their mouth shot. and oh, these bob lic, humiliating. you? do people do to pose these are really green creatures, what we are getting and receiving from crane and most terrible thing is that they don't even trying to hide what they are doing. but i mean, honestly, this statement from the head of the ukranian secret service, as he talked about the cleansing of fans of the russian world. i mean, what could that be construed as a, a threat to civilians in ukraine who might be pro russian we o crane? yes. are russians? this is totally craziness or artificial ideal green asked oh, some kind of separated state from the russian root. that's absolutely crazy. so basically, every craney in gan

b o blamed as an enemy of the state because who she or she east of i don't understand the whole of narrative want these because as i know, as we all know, grania stacy suresh estate, an want of to russian will but they don't want to admit that, and people who wants to raise these fact due to the bubble, it will be persecuted, will be haunted. and there is coming a which hon. i think. but, but everybody's oh, honda, because as i said i, it's different. impossible to, to remove credit from the russian will as it's, it's natural. heritage. i wanted to ask you, janice, i made you think that statement by the head of the ukraine security services. i mean, could be an example of, of, well, i guess people in power and ukraine unwilling to restore peace some. and you've had

pruitt's in just about once a month for the past most of the year. now saying that russia is ready to reach the negotiating table and have talked washington and so and he keeps saying no. and now you have that ukrainian official talking about essentially what many a calling an escalation janice? yeah, that's exactly. this is the brook geisha and i it's gale booth just said and reminded that the russian c as he sees, oh, great as a brother or the nation as a member of the family. and of course these, what this statement was in order to, to provoke the escalation forward. so did great. doesn't meet its own rules. and this is a very big escalation actually. well, well what, why we, when we put it through the right comics and oh, and when you hear this from the state high state official like if you director it

should be taken very seriously. this is a threat for all the cravings and everybody, basically in these regions. janice popcorn in the finish chief, editor of nv la joining us there were naughty international. as always a pleasure. thank you for your time. thank you. well an 18 month investigation into an f d, a approved outs. hyman's drug cold ado hell has concluded that there was foul play in the approval process. or the report comes off, the suspicions were raised about the drugs clinical benefit and the high priced set by the pharmaceutical company producing it cold. biogen. this report documents the atypical f t review process and corporate greed that proceeded empty is controversial decision to grant accelerated approval to adul helm. i am hopeful these findings are a wake up call for the f d a to reform its policies and to call to action to my congressional colleagues,

to continue oversight of the pharmaceutical industry to ensure they don't put profits over patients. while the drug was originally approved, back in june of 2021 and the report indicates that the circumstances surrounding the approval raised quite a bit of red flags. there's quite a bit of irregularity. this was the situation where in 2019 the clinical trials had been cancelled. because an independent report concluded that this drug was probably not very effective in fighting all timers. and when it came time for approval, not a single member of the advisory committee voted in favor of approving the drug yet it was pushed through anyway, i went ahead and that there was essentially lots of irregularities throughout the approval process. the da, i accelerated approval and that it appears that the drug big pharma company, biogen and the food and drug administration of united states were collaborating and

working together in this process. they had over $110.00 meetings and calls about this issue. and they weren't very apologetic, it seems about that they were working together to carry out a joint goal. this is what has been reveal other than the scheduling e mails indicating the conversations took place. there was no official memorial. i sation of at least 66 cause a substantive email exchanges among the subgroups of the collaborative work stream team. a fact that was apparently overlooked by f d s review team until the internal review was initiated. now at this point, we have the facts in front of us and the details of this report are pretty damning . they seem to show that rather than being concerned about making sure that the 6000000 americans own suffering from alzheimer's would get some kind of treatment that would improve their conditions. they were the f. d. a was simply secured at him and concerned about securing the profits were these drug corporations and that

biogen of his drug company was hoping to make a lot of money and helping them make that money was the concern that the sta was focused on. biogen initially said and unjustifiably high prize for and down at $56000.00 per year to make history for the company. despite the impact on patients and the medicare program. documents obtained by the committees show that buys and viewed at a helm as an unprecedented financial opportunity estimate in a potential peak revenue of $18000000000.00 per year, and developed aggressive launch and marketing plans to maximize revenue throughout the drugs life cycle. now this drug was potentially quite burden for patient. so was indicated that those who took this drug in the hopes of offsetting the facts of all timers would be paying up to 20 percent of their incomes for it. and biogen was set to make billions of dollars off of this drug and the details about the results

of the clinical studies. and all of that would indicate that they were paying people were paying lots of money for something that wasn't really going to be helping them in the long run. now all of this raises questions about the power of big pharma in washington, d. c. and how it seems like a lot of members of congress and the food and drug administration itself, as works to collaborate with these big corporations and enable them to make profits . and the health of the public has been pushed aside. we're looking over the twitter files and there revelations about how the dialogue around the issue of coded was being suppressed out certain certain opinions and certain facts about coven, one thing. and we're not allowed on twitter or was depressed on twitter. and that's all raises questions about the power of big money in washington dc. and how it seems like the safety and health of average americans, something that the food and drug administration is supposed to be protecting. that seems to have been left behind while the 900 civilians

have been killed and injured as a result of a saudi arabia let coalitions offensive and a western yemen that's according to a local hospital. this comes to this by the signing of a un broken homage, disagreement in early april. now, according to you and statistics, 6 premature babies meter to lead death every 2 hours and you haven't, it's due to the fighting the prevents necessary medical equipment to be imported, to yemen. those calculations started off of the un, mr. was signed in april proposing to cease fire, which was the stoppage of hostilities. finch 2016. give you a bit of a background to the war in yemen. it broke out in 2014, the government was overthrown and a saudi puppet government was basically installed. the conflict is taken tens of thousands of lives and left 80 percent of the population relied on aid. now this saudi led government to control over the empty sees it blocked

a deliveries of food and medicine to the country, writer and journalist, nothing or the. so it's the only way to improve the lives of many children is to end the war. and it's blockade. immediately so this is one of the, of the biggest problem yemen is still facing. and to know with that, with the truth or without truth, children are the most vulnerable to this war. and i think what could be done to improve this situation, to rescue and to do it, to give the children and to help them not to be and not to not to die is only 2 in the will to live, to the located and to to allow the medicines and the aids and all kinds of little things

that need and also all kinds of death and the needs. the international criminal court in the hague is upheld of 25 years sentence, given to a uganda insurgent commander, a dominic, on which was the leader of the gorilla group that called itself the lords resistance army. it was implicated and trusted either left thousands dead and displaced in the countries north. ah, one day at night. my glad man money wasn't getting that to we. we live home, we go to bed. the friend all i knew was telling me that he saw somebody before luna always catching dad children. so at night these people came on kick diddo and they

started to say that we they will buy me and a young che, lower c vendor. know anything so much. i was know that deceased a but to fall because those that they to pay that would be roped. ah . of course you will not up anything. so no, no options. you have to follow their rules. eve, you say to day, you are going to move nowadays. you have to move. i'm being a young child. i don't know any directions where these people are going. if you said you wanted to race, you say ok if you want to rest eudoxia and it is what is eve? you said you wanted to rest? no one desk in you. ah, the part of the conflict is too huge. so i lot of people within the commute enough

to family members, so many people lost their property. so this to a lot of resentment. all right, before we go here, when ortiz national renown of 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 a punky style in the 70s. the business woman was also a prominent supporter of wiki lease, found a julian assange. she attended numerous protests and demanded freedom for the jail john list. well, let's take a farther crossing live. now, the doctor depot up into john, driver observer, a julian a soldier's extradition hearing a very warm welcome too many will remember vivian westward as a fashion icon. how do you think she'll be remembered?

well, there, i can remember that as a fashion icon, but she was the fashion icon with the conscience of somebody who really stood for the kinds of freedoms and the funk lifestyle, which is one of recognizing that you know, you control the state. i wanted to mention to your view as the idea that in 2018 i believe that the westwood rented a space in the, in the courtyard of the foreign and commonwealth office and her models all war. i'm julian assange. t shirts i did westward. supremely trailing. you know, the very organization that was behind the torture and in fascination of union assange. so i think there was a kinship there. she used to visit him regularly. and i'm also

most of course, when he came to mind, your view is the union assigned is the original cipher pump. that is somebody who for will media freedom. as you say, vivian vivian was not just a fashion designer, but an activist, as well as, as you say, an outspoken supporter of julian hassan. she described herself as his friend and, and said that the songs should be free to speak the truth. now for that, she received a bit of a backlash, but she still stood strong. don't you think she knew that by voicing support for a songs that, that, that would be some sort of public backlash. so my understanding is that westwood campaign to nuclear disarmament. climate justice and areas which are not necessarily always the most popular subjects. what's really interesting about it, and i think julian said this, which is, is that she didn't do it for like, so to increase a following all to increase sales. she did it because she genuinely believed in

these courses and when i've heard her speak, for example, it, julian is one of the birthday party, said julian savage. i have been amazed at how strongly she believes in her ideals. a lot of these, i guess, you know, in, in the media world, in the fashion world, a lot of bill presentations that you have a made me fishing rather than a rising, often from genuine conviction there images that be put on for the rest of the world and it seems to me, at least as an outsider, that she seemed really committed to the cause that she was fighting for doctor before i let you go. and it's so good to have you on the program before we wrap up this hour here. lie from moscow, did you think vivian westwood support the julian assange has helped him in his battle? certainly. so, and she be suspended herself in a cage outside the courts where.
