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, 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 are 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 co

operation 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. president, president, she declared that china is partnership with russia, isn't the best interest of the world. russia later 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 and correspondent don check or just a couple of days ago when china's for

a former of foreign minister, long e delivered a speech on china's all foreign policy. when you, when need 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, 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 believe a mutual assistance between these 2 countries. will i effectively balance the u. s . and diffuse the d as strategic pressure than the strengthening all the chest landing 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 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 miss all 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 history process.

what else in all the time frame that's been big really long time in the military where it will be strong. and it is one of the, obviously the leading military by the way to be particularly even, you know, a newsletter and capable of india. and you've never been with the significant nuclear modernization that it's taking place. no doubt that you will consider the military, incoming israeli prime minister netanyahu has vowed 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 exist actual threat to the blessed indian people and they're eligible and inviolable rights. that the, our newly form coalition has released guidelines to yvonne thornton, the westbank territories. reportedly the incoming government is the most hard line 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 underlined 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. what are some former israeli diplomats have even penned a letter to prime minister benjamin if 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 palestinian people and set its eyes on him. pausing is rarely control over the west bank and the rights of his rather people through all the land. up we are the world, the hannah. allah,

alice indians have tried these governments, but this is the most extreme and racist government ever. 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 hopper. what this government seeks to take over the west bank can increase the presence of his railey settlements. this year has been the bloodiest is many palestinians were intentionally targeted and killed, which means on israel wants to ethnically cleanse the west bank. unclear all palestinians from it, as is said in the israeli media. la, joining me other in this program was amir oran, a defense and government commentator who says that 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 and you know,

there was a period of the year and a half not to with none of those governments has advanced because of fees. but this incoming government threatens to set back the cause of b by expanding settlement by directing that by ability of the future unions. and even we've been israel. there are problems is really society and that for the government and seen by many israelis of these really population of baby legal but not legitimate income with him or that his artie international. so good to have your company. the former french president, frontal all on has related to what realtor say, what others have said that 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 at this point. since 2014 ukraine has strengthened its

military poster. thus the time that boot and thought was an asset for him turned out to be in fact an opportunity for the ukrainians. such a revelation appears to contradict his previous statements on the matter. in 2016, a visit to romania, the former french liter told reporters, the mincing agreements are the only option to sustain peace and stability in ukraine. or this while for my german chancellor angle merkel recently admitted the minsk agreements was simply arranged, took by time for keith. the 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give you crane time. you can use this time to become strong as you can see today, the ukraine of 20142015 is not the ukraine of today speaking, but earlier in the program with a crystal mail, 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, but you know, quinn said hey, we will, we will discuss with people worried july. so obviously we signed a paper and 2 years after i said, oh, we just misled you, we just she didn't, and we like to you, you can discuss with these kinds of people. you cannot sign any agreements with this so. so the credibility of the european union is now completely detroit and so they have no need to, to, to talk about any p talks or any peace proposals. or, i mean, because russia will, of course, not find any paper with them. because now the russian authorities have been to this 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 goals, he added to what he called the cleansing of fans of the russian world. i can predict 3 things in the common year, more blasts and new special operations of the security services of ukraine for the cleansing of the 1st column and fans of the russian world inside ukraine. and most importantly, new legend re victories of the ukraine and defenders. time to learn more, crossing, lived out again, us put in the finish, 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 has been put on on 2014 to clean the area for on demand and movement is taking higher and higher sticks. that's what we see.

on 1st of all, abolishing the political opposition parties. now. oh, totally closing down the medias and haunting down people will beast otherwise than the official narrative agenda. this is terrible. great. doesn't exist us constitutional state anymore. this is, this is dorian genesis 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 gifts a 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 witnessed over the 2022 has been

a lot of things to do with these cleansing operations oh, pressing though, crania people to quiet down to keep their mouth shots. and oh, these volcanic humiliating arab putting people through to pose these are really great features, 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 korean. yes. are russians? this is totally craziness. oh, artificial, ideal green asked oh, some kind of separated state from garage and root. that's absolutely crazy. so

basically, every grain in gan b, o blamed as an enemy of the state because who he or she east a, i don't understand the whole of narrative want these because as i know, as we all know, grainy estate is rush 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 oh, there is coming a which hon. i think but, but everybody's oh, honda, because as i say i, it's impossible to to remove credit from the russian will as it's it's natural heritage i wanted to ask you, janice, how many do 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 pollutant 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 as he keeps saying no, and now you have this ukrainian official talking about essentially what many a calling an escalation, janice? yeah, that's exactly this is brooke geisha. hi, it's gale booth just just said and reminded that the russian c as he sees, oh, great as a brother of 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 luggage bureau director,

you should be thinking very seriously. this is a threat for all the cravings and everybody. basically in the, in these region, 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. high must drug cold, ado help was concluded that there was foul play in the approval process. the report comes off, the suspicions were raised about the drugs clinical benefit and the high price set by the pharmaceutical company producing it cold. biogen. this report documents the atypical f d 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 safety 8 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 patience. while the drug was originally approved, back in june of 2021 and the report indicates that the circumstances surrounding the approval raise of 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 a $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 mm. as indicating the conversations took place that was never official, memorialized ation of at least 66 schools as substantive email exchanges among the subgroups of the collaborative work stream team. a fact that was apparently overlooked by f d h review team until the entire overview 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 suffer from alzheimer's would get some kind of treatment that would improve their conditions. they would, the f d a was simply secured and concerned about securing the profits for 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 f d a 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 and 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, it was potentially quite burdensome for patients. it was indicated that those who took this drug in the hopes of offsetting the effects 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 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 lot of members of congress and the food and drug administration itself as work 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 cove it was being suppressed. that certain certain opinions and certain facts about co 19 were not allowed on twitter or were suppressed on twitter . and it'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 more than 900 civilians

have been killed and injured as a result of a saudi arabia let coalitions offensive and western yemen that's according to our local hospital. this comes with this by the signing of a un broken armistice agreement 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 that prevents necessary medical equipment to be imported, to yemen. those calculations started off of the un, mr. was signed in april proposing the sci fi, which was the 1st stoppage of hostilities since 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 took control over the many sees that blocked the 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, to give the children and to help them not to be and not to not to die is only 2 in the will to lift a dev 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 dominic on when was the leader of the gorilla group, the coldest self, the lords resistance army. it was implicated and atrocities left thousands dead and displaced in the countries north. ah, one day at night, my blood, my money wasn't setting that we, we live home, we go to a different home. and it was telling me that he saw somebody before noon. they're always catching that children. so at night these 2 fall came and kicked the door

and they started to fade tots. we darrell, my men, a young che lower c vendor nor anything from but i was no doubt deceased a but people because those that they to pay that we made up with all 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. notice 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 raise, 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, ah,

the impact of the conflict is too huge. so i lot of people within that for me to not have family members, so many people lost their property for this too. i know from resentment. all right, before we go here we're talking national renown, british fashion designer and activist vivian westwood has died of the age of 81. she passed away, surrounded by her family in london. a 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 journalist. well, let's take a farther crossing, live out the doctor, depot, gulf and john driver of no observer. a julian a soldier's extradition hearing a very warm welcome to many will remember vivian westwood 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 punk lifestyle, which is one off recognizing that you know, you control the state. i wanted to mention to your view as the idea that in 2018 i believe, be in. westwood rented a space in the, in the courtyard of the fargo wells office and her models all war. i'm julian assigned the shit i did westward. supremely trailing, you know, the very organization that was behind the torture and incarceration of junior sons. so i think there was a kinship there. she used to visit him regularly and for

most of course, when he remind you of you as a junior that's, i'm just the original site for what is somebody who fought for me get freedom. as you say, vivian vivian was not just a fashion designer, but an activist, as well as, as you say, and outspoken support of julian a song she described herself as his friend and said that a sons should be free to speak the truth. now for that, she received a bit of a backlash, but she still stood strong. do you think she knew that by voicing support for a song that there 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 her and i think julian said, which is, is good. she didn't do it for likes to increase the following or to increase failed

. she did it because she genuinely believed in these courses when i've heard her speak, for example, that julian is one of the birthday party. so june and 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 little presentations that you have made me for sure. ra, a rising, often from genuine conviction, images that people can for the rest of the world. and it seemed to me, at least as an outsider, that she seemed really committed to because she was fighting for the doctor before i let you go. and it's so good to have you on the program before we wrap up this our life for moscow. you did you think vivian west woods support the julian sanchez helped him in his battle. certainly. so she suspended herself in a cage outside the.
