started with a voc pyrotechnic display from the sydney hob, a bridge. it continued with enormous fireworks. a thousands of fi works is said to be settled, worth millions of dollars. so from sydney hobble all the way to new zealand. charming in the new year, of course is now just after 11. am there. the show was held in oakland with the sky tower behind the river bridge was lit up with a light show. i'm a fly iowa display from australia to new zealand to china as well with crowds of people enjoy the atmosphere, have a look at these pictures and enhanced the addition of a light symphony with a colorful fireworks display lighting up the capitol, beijing. some amazing pictures right now coming out of china to night as it rings in 2023 and all the way to tie one's capital city, taipei, the city government organizing new year's eve, count down the events to usher in 2023. and i have a look at this time pay $1.00,

strict jing long, you want the 1400000000 chinese work with one heart and one mind 2 and stand in unity with a strong welcome which no task will be impossible and no difficulty. insurmountable . the people on both sides of the taiwan strait are members of one and the same family dunghill. i sincerely hope that our compatriots from both sides of the strait she will work together with a unity of purpose to jointly force to lessen prosperity of the chinese nation. as one of the highlights of 2022 g shaping underlie the success of the winter olympics and the power limpet games of course, station and beijing. he added, china's yearly accomplishments include the launch of its 3rd military aircraft, carrier fujian, and the 3 sions, u spacecraft. chinese leader also touched on the countries worked on this uranus battle against cove. it is a little bit more on that story with

a marathon battle against the corona virus. china's campaign to contain the spread of covey 19 has lasted for 3 years. saving lives has been the utmost priority. the countries transitioning to wars of whole spent, i make recovery, coven 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 and death rates among the lowest in the world. can you go don't we lasha g 5. so john mean the heroic battle against coming i t improved once again. that the common pursuit of beauty, our community was a shared future for mankind as the right way for tackling humanities, common challenges and beauty. a more prosperous, find beautiful world here her since the beginning of the epidemic, china has revised is colby 19 control protocols. 9 times the measures are all backed by science. china has also been accelerating the research and development of

vaccine medicine. so yeah, and what's a good the key to china's anti academic efforts in the past 3 years is prevention. now we have come to a stage to upgrade the efforts with more targeted meshes. it's a normal process engine. 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's average life expectancy rose from 77.93 years 202278.2 years in 2021. china also played a positive role in tackling the global pandemic to maintain social stability. china sought to reduce the economic impact of the academic policies to support business enterprises were known as national and local levels. at the central economic war

conference in december, general secretary c urge efforts to optimize the coven. i t respond taking time as circumstances into consideration. so as to better coordinate academic prevention and control with economic and social development. after 3 years of resistance, the country has come to a time to revise as measures facing a. we can strain of coven i, teen, and enhance immunity among the population. china describes the battle against the coven, i teen as a peoples war. it's a race against time, and also reflects that wisdom and unity of the people. and so the outgoing year 2022 was certainly marked not only by technological breakthroughs, but also by violent clashes or struggles for political power. and of course, the deaths of common and figures to just for a moment here are naughty international taking a look back at the year. that was ah

ah

ah let's a good out of your company for this program from moscow. let's go straight out to the ukraine conflict where a series of attacks reported all across the country in the past 24 hours. show you a video out of key of what several explosions have been seen. a hotel in a city center was damaged with unconfirmed reports that foreign military advisors are staying there at the time. meanwhile, ukrainian authorities say electricity in the city and surrounding regions has been partially restored. the strikes aftermath was also captured in this video from the city of mel litski in western ukraine as well as in nikolai of our senior correspond. if it's more, i'd gusty f with this report regarding the letter strikes all across the country.

in kiev ad defense 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 ad defense besides have struck at urban areas, fallen on people's houses. nevertheless, and key of itself, uh, we've seen that the remains of one strike at least one miss all reaching its target . a hotel in the capital of ukraine, where according to reports, again, this is our verified information. but where there may have been foreign advisors, presumably, nasal member states advisors,

people who were on the ground advising the ukranian 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 kiev 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, 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 this, today's wave of strikes is being launched with cruise missiles launched by strategic palmers, from russian as space have also been reports of tactical missiles. iskander missiles launched from the vicinity of the front line, the range of noses ease my shorter, but again, strikes in a cave in odessa, down on the black sea coast in kind of bordering rushes. but bill, good regions strikes him, come autodesk, which is very near the fly, front light 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. what? meanwhile, in don barza, local official say a terrorist attack on the look on republic has been foiled. a warning you may find

the following images to starving. ukrainian, a special services agent was planning to attack government offices in the regents capital. but he was taken out by russians special forces before he could do so rapidly. amid his attempts, he killed a regional serviceman and a civilian, and the russian at security service has discovered a cash of ukrainian weapons. also in the suburbs of le ganske city, the stock bars included an anti tank guided missile grenade launchers and more than a 100000 rounds at lost count. so in the meantime, $82.00 russian soldiers have returned home from ukrainian captivity just in time for the new year of the russian ministry of defense says they escaped mortal danger . the men are set to fly back here to moscow and receive both mental and physical rehab. an equal number of peered abuse were exchanged by both sides. some of those

returning to russia agreed to speak about their experience in ukrainian captivity. perceiving me, let me fill full bottle of thanks to russia and thanks to the ministry of defense, simon. 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'm alive and well, and that's the most important thing. they beat me with an electric shock. we were 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. 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 to marry a whole now a city which certainly suffered an awful lot this year and the conflict though it set the usher in the new year with some optimism, at least the city is being rebuilt by the government and is being rebuilt very quickly, arthur,

contributor eva bartlet picks up the story. 2022 is coming to an end. it was here of great sorrow for the people of the don bass. and especially here in mary ople, mariel, paul, as a city that sy massive battles to evict ukrainian forces and the nazis that were embedded with them. consequently, there was much destruction. but in contrast to what western corporate media would have, you believe the city was not destroyed. western corporate media also would not like you to know that. in fact, there are positive developments like massive reconstruction projects, including new hospitals, new and rehabilitated schools and new apartment complexes. this is one of them at the school a beneficial for this school existed for the last 40 years and has been here since 1982. during the war, the school suffered 6 direct hits, the offices assembly home and the school was significantly damaged. her life is great, everything is being restored now. and as you can see, literally this school was restored in 2 months. plus this, it already has frederick lies. st. lighting, electricity in all houses,

water supply and gas supply is already returning to many houses in the city. and communications are working. there was work, but we will wait. we are happy and we like everything is already douglas. there are big construction projects happening. life is getting better slowly, everything is fine for yourself with your clothes that are sitting we've of course, after the destruction it was difficult, but now you can see the mass of construction going in the city. this can be called the construction of the century and life is getting better. life is becoming more interesting. it's even easier and for you to breathe. everything is great. it feels good to know that we're under the care of the russian federation for which our thank you. in syria and late 2016 after al qaeda and other terrorist groups were expelled from the city of aleppo, a leper residence erected a christmas tree in christmas decorations and celebrated the new year and their freedom and their future. so to our residents of mary up already to celebrate their futures now that the city has been restored. to con,

get this venezuelan members of paula vote to do this. so the interim government was formed under the western bred leader one. why don't this coming off the years of cropping up what many of called a puppet of the west, whose only purpose was to oust and replace the democratically elected president. mister my daughter, the so called interim president. kristen didn't 2019 with the blessing of the u. s, and it's media is now set to leave on january the 5th. so it is kellum up and now brings us more on one why dos eviction that is, wayland opposition has voted to remove juan waco 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

conveyed recognition on the expense of venezuela's actual leaders has come crashing down. one great owl was one of the wealthy pro us students who took to the streets to protest against socialism. he took his cues from facebook, twitter, and none other than the us state department. eventually, he was elected to the legislature. us media loves to promote the anti madura protest, but it chooses to ignore the very big mobilizations to support him 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 for the united nations to recognise interim president, wan, quite 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 madeau that his time is up. it's time for him to go. oh la. 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 to call options or on the table. who can forget when humanitarian aid became central to the regime, changed narrative about than 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. mast 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 a room adorned with summarize sorts and listened to a bitch. they had been appointed by opposition leader who on grey dough to explore all options in the u. s back quest to asked when his well president nicholas madura, but the language of the agreement left no ambiguity on the objective. an operation to capture, detain or remove nicholas maduro,

removed the current regime and installed a recognized when his well 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 want it on the u. s. 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 it 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 that 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 whom one guido is to press with memory problems more like rising oil prices. venezuela has got lots of oil and the ukraine conflict and 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, martha r t new york. and that'll just about wrap up this. i was program from moscow on this the 1st day of the new year. it is january the 1st here in the russian capital, all of us here at austin international. we wish you'd love, happiness and success in the new year. and with that, thank you. and good news . ah
