spread of coping 18 has lasted for 3 years. saving lives has been the utmost priority. the country is transitioning toward the pope and make recovery. colby 19 has taken millions of lives worldwide, and china has been one of the safest places from the deadly virus. it has kept severe cases, a death rates among the lowest in the world. how you doing with sites, john? mean the heroic battle against coming i t improved once again that the common pursuit of beauty or community was a shared future for mankind is the right way for tackling humanities, common challenges and building a more prosperous and beautiful world. since the beginning of the academic china has revised this, toby, 900 control protocols, 9 times the measures are all backed by science. china has also been accelerated, the research and develop and seen

a medicine so young don't gotten good up. the key to china, n t average damage efforts in the past 3 years is prevention. now we have come to a stage to upgrade the efforts with more targeted measures. it's a normal process. more than 90 percent of china's population is fully vaccinated against corona virus. among the highest rates in the world, the total number of i c, u beds in china has reached a 138000 close to the level of one bed for every 10000 people. there are 80000. i see you, doctors and 220000 nurses, china. the average life expectancy rose from 77.93 years in 202278.2 years in 2021. china also played a positive role in tackling the global pandemic to maintain social stability, trying to stop to reduce the economic impact of the academic policies to support business enterprises were note at national and local level at the central economic,

ah ah

are so far, 1340 minutes now into the new year. let's give you some of the latest, not from the ukraine conflict, where a series of attacks been reported now across the country in the past 24 hours. i'll show you some video out of kia where several explosions have been witnessed. a hotel in the city center was damaged with unconfirmed reports that foreign military advisors were staying there at the time. meanwhile, ukrainian authorities say electricity in the city and surrounding regions has been partially restored. of the strife aftermath was also captured in this video from city of mel, neat sky in western ukraine as well as in that about nikolai of our correspondence, our senior correspondent. but i guess the f at the latest now on the strikes all across the country in kiev and defense of weaponry is active. there are

exclusions around the city. those may be explosions incoming missiles or outgoing air defense, anti missile rockets firing into the sky. we've already seen the wreckage pictures showing the reported wreckage of western supplied and t. m missiles on the streets of key of the capital. it wouldn't be the 1st time ukrainian missiles add the fence. besides have struck at urban areas fallen on people's houses. nevertheless, in care of itself, ah, we've seen the remains of one strike, at least one miss al, reaching its target a hotel in the capital of ukraine, where according to reports, again, this is not verified information, but where there may have been foreign advisors, presumably, nato members states advisors, people who are on the ground advising the ukrainian ha,

ukrainian military again. this is, this is something that needs to be verified of them that they have been strikes all over ukraine, east, west, south and north. the city of haddock, of left without pallet. we've also heard of strikes in the outskirts of how to come in kev region to ah, we've, we've seen images showing plumes of smoke great plumes of smoke above buildings, which again says that at least a part of the missiles struck home. the ukrainian, a ministry of defense has a tendency to come out and. 3 and claim that you know, the vast majority out of 90 missiles they've taken down 80, which year which has turned out in the past to be untrue. they have also been complaints from the ukrainian military regarding the air defense weapon system supplied by nato countries that they've been unable to shoot down russian cruise missiles. and this is presumably what these,

today's wave of strikes is being launched with cruise missiles launched by the strategic palmers from russian as space have also been reports of tactical missiles . iskander missiles launched from the vicinity of the front line or the range on those as he eats much shorter, but again, strikes in that cave in odessa, down on the black sea coast in comic of bordering rushes. but bill good region strikes him, come autodesk, which is very near the fly frontline in the east of the country and also strikes in the west of the country. again, these are, these are ongoing. so perhaps we learn more details. official comment from the russian side, which there hasn't been much by way of. well, i meanwhile in don bass, our local official say a terror attack in the mood republic has been foiled. i should warn you. you may find the following images disturbing. ukrainian,

a special services agent was planning to attack the government offices in the regents capital, but was taken out by russia and special forces before he could do so, reportedly admitted a tendency killed a regional serviceman and a civilian. and the russian security services discovered a cache of ukrainian weapons. also in the suburbs of the guns stockpile include an antique tank guided missile grenade launchers, and more than a 100000 rounds at last count what mean time? 82 russian soldiers have returned home from ukrainian captivity just in time for the new year. the russian ministry of defense says they escaped mortal danger. now the men are set to fly here to moscow and receive both mental and physical rehabilitation. an equal number of p o w 's were exchanged by both sides. some of those returning to russia, agreed to speak about their experience in ukrainian captivity. pushy,

believe me very, to me, feel full bottle, thanks to russia, and thanks to the ministry of defense, someone on new year's eve, this is the best gift they gave me a phone, contacted my mother and told her everything was fine with me. she knows that i am alive and well, and that's the most important thing. they beat me with an electric shock adding drink for 2 weeks for adding sleep. i didn't eat. i was in captivity since november 25th. when i was with others, i so they were beaten up very badly. it was the blood is already pouring from the ears. we set naked in our underwear and they mocked us. thank you to russia that we can celebrate the new year. you know, native plants are shifting gears, venezuela, members of parliament, have voted to dissolve. the interim government formed under weston bred leda. one glide bo this year coming off the years of propping up what many called a puppet of the west, whose sole purpose was to alst and replace the democratically elected president. mister modot, the so called

a interim president christened in 2019 with the blessing of the u. s. and his media is now set to leave on january. the 5th of correspondence in new york is caleb martin, with more on why dos eviction that is waylon opposition has voted to remove juan . guido, as the leader of itself declared interim government. now this is a significant blow to us efforts for regime change in venezuela. a policy that was quickly followed by europe. the usa has tried almost everything possible to remove the socialist government of venezuela. there been 2 attempts economic sanctions. none of that has worked and now the false president that they'd conveyed recognition on the expansive down as well as actual leaders as come crashing down one. guido was one of the wealthy pro you asked students who took to the streets to protest against socialism. he took his cues from facebook, twitter, and none other than the u. s. state department. eventually,

he was elected to the legislature, u. s. media loves to promote the anti maduro protests, but it chooses to ignore the very big mobilizations to support ham and to support the united socialist party. once more the old world can take a stand in support of freedom in the new world. time has come from the united nations to recognise interim president, wan granado as the legitimate president of venezuela and seat, his representative in this body. with all due respect, mister ambassador, you shouldn't be here. you should return to venezuela. and tell nicholas madura that his time is up, it's time for him to go. oh law. i'm mike pence, the vice president of the united states. and on behalf of president donald trump and all the american people, let me express the unwavering support of the united states as you the people of

venezuela. raise your voices in a call for freedom. all options are on the bed. all options are on the table. all options are on the table. all options are on the table. who can forget when humanitarian aid became central to the regime, change narrative about that as whaler. the story was that venezuelan leaders had lit a food truck on fire to prevent food from being delivered to their own people. masked thugs, civilians killed by live rounds and the burning of trucks carrying badly needed food and medicine. this has been maderos response to peaceful efforts to help venezuelans, countries that still recognize maduro should take note of what they are endorsing with announcement doris refusal to let humanitarian assistance reach venezuela. what kind of a sick tyran stops food from? get into hungry people? the images of burning sharks, filled with aid, are sickening. but later the facts came out. we learned that it was actually the anti maduro forces who lit their own food truck on fire,

in the hopes of provoking an uprising. and let's not forget the qu, attempts and conspiracies to kidnap that, as well as legit president and replay. sam with mister guido inside a glittering miami high rice representative sort of in his well known position, sat in the room don't, with summarized sorts, and listened to a pitch. they had been appointed by opposition leader who on going door to explore all options in there. you aspect quest to asked when, as well president nicholas maduro. but the language of the agreement left no ambiguous tea on the objective. an operation to capture, detain, or remove nicholas maduro removed the current regime and installed a recognized when, as well. and president, who on guido venezuela's assets around the world, had been frozen billions of dollars, had been stolen outright. as part of us efforts to weaken the government, washington offered a reward of up to $15000000.00 for information leading to the arrest of nicholas

madura maduro. remains wanted on the us state department website on the basis of widely disputed claims about drug trafficking. only a few years later we have u. s. officials now willing to shake his hand after all these years and all these efforts of demonizing him and calling the dictator. a quick handshake between 2 worldly or is this going viral? former secretary of state john kerry seen shaking hands with venezuelan leader nicolas my doodle. oh no, that is wrong with it with. but what about the pony america picked one greater the person that you recognize as a leader, democratic leader in minutes, and he's not here. what do you think about this of one way they'll hear by him

one wide ho is suppressed with memory problems more like rising oil prices. venezuela has got lots of oil and the ukraine conflict em. subsequent sanctions backlash now driven the prices sky high. desperate to import, washington put a big crack in the embargo they placed on venezuela, chevron. the only american company allowed to continue operating in the country was told they can go ahead and start pumping all this democracy rhetoric doesn't scream as loudly as the u. s. economy. venezuela has got oil and the united states needs it. so it looks like finally one guido is out of the picture. caleb martin, r t new york. all right, crossing lived on

a daniel shore professor of latin american studies at the city university of new york. very well welcome to you. so thanks so much for joining us about half past 4 in the afternoon where you are. so we are already in 2023 here at moscow. you're still rounding off the old the way you are, but so good to have you on the program. thanks for joining us here on our see. so it was, it was daniel since january 2019 the us media apparatus told us that one, why don't was the new president of venezuela, but now he's being kicked out essentially by the political establishment. how did we get to this point that he was the darling of the western backed opposition? happy new year, rory. one way though, deserves the prime. the cello of the year. not just the 2022, but for the past 3 years he was artificially held up. is this interim president, though he had no recognition within bennett? will you never had any base of support?

he was always a creation in a lackey of us. the u. s. government in their dirty war in your hybrid war against venezuela. certainly the why those of the world bend if i is the sell hours should have a lot of shame, especially considering how much he encourage sanctions against the 30000000 people . then as well which have been incredibly cruel to the everyday work and people, venezuela. well, me, they were, they were food stoppages. they were blockades to stop medicine from coming in. and one of the economies in the world that were struggling so badly, daniel. and yet they were blockades to stop people, excuse me, from getting that help. i wanted to ask you, i mean there are unconfirmed reports that one quieter when he was a teenager, was actually an intern at the us state department in washington d. c. some might say he was theoretically primed and ready to take on a job like this. the state department has

a long history of priming and preparing and miss educating the local puppets who they can try to operate through. this is indirect colonialism or neil colonialism or indirect rule. and that's certainly what one, why. ready this function was he needed the rubber stamp of the u. s. government because ben as well as such a rich rich piece of the global chessboard, but they needed a band as well as a puppet that they could point to so that they could see then as well and oil the bank of england so that they could see fit, go and pay the base here in the united states with talking about billions of dollars in oil in these other minerals. and they needed one way though they knew the local venezuelan politician who they could work to justify this hybrid war. and frankly what has been highway robbery. ready against the 30000000 people have been as well. and daniel, you know, when it's all kicked off one quite with quickly presented with some very nice

washington suits, washington tie, he had the american little flag on his lapel. you know, 1st you had chavez. washington didn't like chavez. then you have my daughter. he was quickly persona non grata with washington. so washington says we're going to put our own man in there, bringing this guy one. why don't at the time, by the way, you mentioned it as well. daniel, that the bank of england just seized ben as well as gold that was sitting there in the london bolts. is this a case of failed western regime change, or perhaps i'm wrong? you're out of the same, correct, rory. they've had nothing but disdain. since hugo chavez won the popular election in 1998, they've tried every type of terrorism in economic sabotage to oust nicholas me a little. so i was the boulevard in government. they don't want to see a tele sword. they don't want to see, and in the south it speaks to the people of the so they don't want to see medical

sure. sued or a say lock. they don't want to see economic agreements. that length itself. so then as well as long as thorn in their side, certainly we saw we've been as well as able to do through internationalists, oil diplomacy and job in years. but when rocco bomb in 2014 implemented these very cruel sanctions, and put ben as well as cuba onto this superficial made up list of terrorists. this is the very intention of richard nixon and henry kissinger in 1973 when they bothered to make the chalet in economy scream. when w a in there was a power. so any social is left leaning government has encouraged this type. ready wrath from washington, as it seems as it seems, daniel history continues to repeat itself. daniel shaw, professor of latin american studies at the city university of new york. joining us live on new year's eve appreciate your time and from all of us here at auto international wishing you a very happy new year.
