so lies his niece in the sand, so long as all dental insurance and behind the spoonful buy it. now, let me look on each one's window spawns and dawson with ah, a terror attack on russia. thwarted on new year's eve about what the country's m o t save. ukrainian forces were plumbing, growing before the russian military. neutralized a weapon that manufacturing side with preemptive strikes. we're now into 2023, but won't, will the new year bring. we delve into the pressing social, political, and economic trends that will define the coming months with the new year bring a new world order as increasing number of countries look towards a more equal structure of relations. 2022. so prox emerged in the long standing

dominant unit polar system with your very welcome to the recap of the news week. that was this new year's day. thanks for joining us today. my name's you know, we begin this, our end on bus were a hospital in the loop. ganske region was shelled on new year's eve. local officials say the attack was carried out by ukrainian forces using us supplied hi mars rockets. in this footage from the city of purple, my esque, you can really see the extent of the damage close to the building. according to authority, 6 people were injured, kia houghton commented as yet on the incident. you guys ship? well, an rti crew managed to visit the scene right after the attack in these exclusive pictures, you can see the destruction done today. hospitals interior and also the patients

being prepared for evacuation. along with the 6 people said to have been injured. other sources are reporting a fatality to, although we're currently unable to independently verify them. here's what one hospital worker had to say and warning you may find the following images, district. general bluetooth devoted to the 1st rocket stroke during an operation. we drug, the patients who stomach was open out of there and sent them for further treatment . thank god, all the medical personnel survived in the operating room. the old, there is the human body. when the rubble is cleared, it will be understood who that was. the hospital was struck 3 times. this suggests that they wanted to kill as many people as possible. we kill on the front and they kill here behind the front lines. unfortunately, when all rushes armed forces say they have prevented a quote, terrorist attack on the country by ukraine's and military, the russian m. o d states. it was planned for new year's eve as well,

but was prevented by preemptive strikes on a facility manufacturing, drones, and launch sites. when more details emerge on this, if they do, we'll bring them to you. now across all 11 times owns from moscow, the vladivostok people in the world's biggest country flocked on to the streets to welcome in the new year. hundreds of house and celebrated in the russian capital in particular, ringing in 2020 was find many rounds of western sanctions. putting economic pressure on the nation over the past year. russia was able to stabilize it's economy r t, steve sweeney, texas. through our we've all seen the sensation as headlines moscow's ground to hold and completely shut down. life in russia will never be the same again. and the country has once more retreated behind the iron curtain wall.

i'm here in the capitol. i with the opportunity to show you what life is re like have on the ground. and a spoiler is very different from the so called iron curtain portrayed in the western media. first of all, no, we are not hit by some kind of social media blackout cut off from the outside world . a good vpn, get you everything you need. i'm even up to speed with the latest goings on in our what square of the february 24th. the news came flooding in about shots and businesses leaving the country in some kind of mass exodus. if you believe the headlines, there were no shops left in russia at all, but that's not quite true. many of those a deadly did. so at great cost, but more than $1000.00 foreign companies are still doing business here in russia, starbucks has simply rebranded itself as stars. and mcdonalds has a new owner and a new name. but it's pretty much the same. i,

we're still loving it. we spoke to people in the streets and asked them if they'd notice any differences. you can keep it in our many lem conference at an invoice and the horn. once we found a placement for them. we started to support ration brands that maintain quality. coca cola double to las coca cola is gone, but we have a replacement is in the local brand, aubrey called a lot of beverages. good once have appeared since coca cola left russia and i almost see no difference without mcdonald's either on those. i don't expect that brand to return, and i think the russian version, tasty, full stop is quite delicious. did you see that we managed to partially substitute for the brands that last for furniture, for example, ikea. we've replaced a portion of their products. it will be sydney to deny the impact of sanctions on the russian economy. of course, in on quite as they were the for the special minutes your ration. but at the same time is not quite is the west hope, i think ramped up the pressure. remember biden as a result of these unprecedented sanctions ruble almost as immediately reduced to

rubble. well, soon after the military operation began, the rubel did indeed tank 30 percent to the dollar hitting record lows. but the situation is stabilized. it's now $65.00 to $70.00 roubles to the us dollar, meaning that russia's currency is now stronger than it was before the military operations began. in fact, according to bloomberg, the rubel is the best performing currency in the world this year. but now, as the situation has stabilized, so has a west 3 allies, asian, but it's over played hand. take the economists, for example, back in february, it was reporting dubin gloom, that the collapse of the rouble was continuing and compounding the isolation of russia. yet just months later in august, it was asking the question, how does the ruble continue to defy expectations? well, maybe the answer is

a simple one. perhaps those expectations shouldn't be lowered in the 1st place, but not to say that there's no awareness of what's going on in the conflict though . it's a topic this not just discussed ady but also exist in the public spread. across the city, you will see billboards adorned with as ed logo. posters like this one, declaring glory to rush in heroes, different pictures, different places of different folders of old run. a q, r code, how to find out more information. but there are serious discussions about how best to support those on the front line. this new year will look different for many russians. a lot of towns and cities have scrapped by celebrations altogether. have in moscow a compromise reached i, citywide boat was held the outcome. well atone down celebration without firewood, but the mayor says it important to keep those traditions alive. to day when

thousands of men husband's fathers and sons are fighting for the independence of our motherland. when blood is being shed, when hundreds of thousands of civilians are suffering, we also face a choice in the name of the economy in the name of compassion, to abandon these holidays. or to spite the tragic circumstances to still remain human. people who adhered to their national traditions do not lose their spirit. they do not get discouraged. they believe in victory, not with tears, but with deeds. they support those who are on the front line today. so yes, there have been some hiccups along the way. for many life will never be the same in rucker again, but rushes, total isolation on its collapse, i predicted by the with a seemingly file to materialize. steve sweeney in all things, russia, but on a global level 2022 was a year that saw cracks emerged in the longstanding unit polar system. news ruled in

essentially every month that appeared to show the balance of power shifting under newer, shared world order rising. when us was it before our very eyes, the world is changing and really becoming multi polar. however, some countries are trying to preserve their teetering gemini, at any cost using a wide range of political, military, economic, informational, and other methods and means. since the end of the 2nd world war, it felt like the world was ruled by a very few power, seemed concentrated in the hands of the global north and represented by the g 7 group of economies, all singing to the same west than him. but this year and new horace is rising, the biggest new block is coming up and with a tidal wave. this is griggs, 25 percent of the world steed

e p. that the court of the was gross domestic product and 40 percent of its population. when measured in land was, it is a quarter of the world, this is what you and i, and the rest of us have been waiting for. a multi polar world is rising. and along with it many more keen to join in african biggest country by land mars and the continents biggest guess export algeria once in. iran is also key. and it was right here in south africa that president followed on the plaza, told us about saudi arabia's interest as well. egypt and turkey allured and pondered why it's the spirit driven in co operation and inclusiveness, heightened in trade, finance, supply chain and smuggling fracturing here no one is more over another with in the

group and there's no medalie in each other's business or the staging how they should handle their own affairs, each with equitable global governance. radio, not a new world is coming to san antonio. it was the ear, the word dollarization went a bit of ira just as the geopolitical ask about changing with new regional powers. emerging, the global financial system is getting a bit of a make over to look sample major his painful rash energies of, with national currencies, and even 50, to 50 splits between rouble and new that. and if the plans of shanghai corporation of an invasion come to life will only see they strand accelerate with alternative him in a system also on the horizon, the reliance on the dollar as the instrument supporting the world at one minute. this is not so very promising for him to speak,

and that is not somebody used to them that more and more countries are shifting through or using cur, alternative currencies. shifting to use national currency more and more. and then the loose process so will be, will be gaining momentum. we have see how washington says hundreds of billions of dollars of fresh assets. we know problem is that there will be returned. i m f data showed that tennis un, i counted for almost to 3 percent to the highest level since the data began in 2016 at the same time, the dollars share job to, to below 59 percent to the lowest level in 25 years but 2022 saw the momentum growth towards breaking his dominance and h. r frame a new fear or daughter. when the conflict in ukraine started, western leaders said that anyone who doesn't sign up for their sanctions will be on

the wrong side. all the history india did not pick sides. in fact, in this position has been cleared the position of neutrality. after all, most goods been an old friend to new delhi and also all trading part. so what india did instead was it started building new banking channels to be able to trade with more school in rupees. india as appetite for russian could also increase from your own one percent imports in february to almost 22 percent now, which is nearly 1000000 barrels of crude di now in the ongoing geopolitical shift. as far as india is concerned, it's real or more school is not defined by how western countries see if we couldn't about who we are the i think it's better to engage in the world on the basis of who we are rather than try and pleased the one visit, be limitation was this idea. does the final got you

know, somewhere and we need to get the approval of the waters. i think that's it. all we need to put behind in the us foreign policy has been very, very clear that is to promote its own interest 1st. so despite western pressures and more of judgments, india has been very clear that it's not going to be dictated by anyone rendering sharma. now as 2023 begins, people around the globe are hoping for a more positive year ahead. it follows a 12 months of must protests, military conflicts. further forward from the pandemic and all i made a deepening economic crisis. my colleague nikki, are in there earlier discuss the prospects for the new year with a number of guess. just when i think i have figured that the human race has somehow exhausted, every possible means of destroying itself,

or it's culture already. and or it sanity been disappointed because there's a new way. no, i think things are going to be much worse. and, but the only thing that will help most people is the diluted effect of the social media platforms which allow people to recess and to revert from reality can go into la la land and take pictures of their food. while society collapses famous, the astrologer nostradamus, he made many interesting and unusual prophecies, as we know, he said, to predict the 3rd world war being on the horizon next year was, he'll take on that and doesn't look like tensions between some of the worlds and major powers are reaching that critical points. i see the possibility of potentially for a forefront war facing the united states, especially because it's out there with it's a gemini, stirring all of the sub has created the mess and in 2022. and i think it's,

it just doesn't know how to help itself, and it's going to continue on that path. and it's going to create even greater tensions or in 2023. and we got to be watchful and any think and there can be something out of nowhere that could absolutely cause a, a catastrophic event, a cascading event that could lead to, to this war front war that i just mentioned. they stem from the middle east to the, to, into in the pacific to or of course europe, europe could see in a 2nd war next year. and that, what is that war? that is basically co kosovo. serbia? it was announcement recently, for example, that thanks i, the bank one of the brushes, largest banks, has currently developed a new payment gateway that goes between russia and iran and allow people to lose

money more or less instantly between the 2 countries. so that's where we're moving . the dominance of the financial system, which is a moment, is controlled by a private company called swift, which is basically how most of us move on money to and fro around the world. now that's gone and now we've seen that gone. we're going to see, i think, a whole bunch of new and exciting companies from china, russia, india, iran, all these, everyone was saying, all these new company, these new companies that will be in this new multi poder, while we'll start developing really exciting payment technology that we've really been stopped for the financial industry to generations now with the u. s. helping running the new year. and let's rewind to some moments. americans will recall for the past 12 months. spoiler alerts, president biden made the highlight reel were the want. it's a great asset more inflation super so i know because now the fry moves in no matter

what their call to 101215 step one on the bus black anyway, i'm not concerned about with them concerned about the world. i mean, i think the context is that whether or not they're pulling back from fallujah and the army from the, the care sa inflations worldwide problem right now as a war in iraq and an impact on oil in which russia is doing distributed war in and ukraine. and i think interact exactly my son. what guess what we got a lot to do with kind of me we go back

a long way. she was 12 hours 30 but anyway, a very much with his wife's. got your biggest my cat with me and i hope we're on the same side. you know, so he's rushing with i don't care who it is. got some real bisection that we call them guns. ah

la 2022 saw no end of instability on the energy markets with commodity prices all over the place. western sanctions on russian energy supplies lead to spikes and fluctuations on the sector is expected to get even rougher next year because of any you and g $7.00 price cap on rational. moscow say it won't play by the western rules animal bomb exports to any country complying with the cap. we are prohibiting supplies of russian oil and petroleum products to foreign legal entities and individuals provided that the contracts for the supplies directly or indirectly apply a price cap mechanism. things are really not looking very good here in france right now. and moscow's response to the g 7 in european union's price cap on russian oil . that is to band deliveries,

to countries that abide by the cap. does even kick in until february 1st. and the useful embargo on russian oil also hasn't been fully felt yet. because there's also a grace period there until january, so ships don't get caught out at sea, but already there are some signs of trouble here. hey, you know the fairy tale of cinderella, where she had to be home by midnight, or else her magic carriage turned back into a pumpkin? well, friends, drivers have until midnight on december 31st before their own pars risk getting bricked turning into pumpkins because of sticker shock at the pump. because the discount that alive drivers here, france weren't even aware that the government had built into the price of fuel for the past few months to help offset the rising cost of energy is coming to a crashing halt. and at that point, the prices are set to go up by $10.00 to $0.20 per liter for everyone, except about $10000000.00 french citizens who will qualify for the help that's replacing it in the case of workers who make less than $14700.00 euros per year,

who will need to fill out a government form to get on a whopping $100.00 euros to cover the entire year of energy price heights for 2023. meanwhile, french factories are already planning to ring in the new year by not reopening after the holidays. citing skyrocketing production costs, one manager of the company that produces isolation material, told the french press that he seen. i 100 percent increase in material costs. and 500 to 700 percent spikes in energy prices. oh, and this, the french energy transition minister, i guess pioneer alina. she tweeted on tuesday that if you hear home with wood in france, the government will now offer you assistance of between 50 and 200 euros. the state acts against rising prices from this tuesday, december 27th. if you want timber to help you warm up,

you can benefit from assistance ranging from 50 to 200 heroes. it was just so surreal. this tweet that you think you're looking at, a parody account, but nope, and apparently the energy transition minister, i guess, is going to help friends transition straight back to the cave mandate. hey, maybe the government can type in a free bag of marshmallows so that at least french citizens can all feel like they're having fun. camping out at home rather than huddling around the fire. like they're back in the stone age. maybe we can even like, since production is troublesome right now, because every pioneer we can like start bashing on rocks in the fire to hobbled bad . it's hard to believe that this is supposed to be one of the world's most developed countries, which at one point prided itself on its nuclear energy independence. before we get to this, when the perception that when russia is being sanctioned, lift right and sanctum, don't go to this point. so this, the service phones are from the russian prestone from the russian federation. douglas said,

never quit straight. does he not going to come in here and play your games as if now the oil and gas or the energy has control won't in washington, especially the european countries have the ones that i have to suffer from dis decree by the ones that are really sticking to russia, i'm going to give you after them bed, mom, and she's only the western countries that are more of an issue that i sure yes, it would benefit him from the persistence of russia that are going to suffer during his new years speech chinese president, she jin ping addressed one of the most pressing issues, his concrete, faced in 2022, the cobit pandemic, aunt also called for unity. jing wor, jenko, georgia, the ne, from our colossal efforts we overcame unprecedented difficulties and challenges which were not easy for everyone. now the prevention and control of the epidemic has entered a new stage. every one is working hard, persevering,

and the dawn is ahead and in persistence in unity is our victory loans. or recently china cues western media outlets of miss representing this situation in the country . after it's strict anti cove measures were lifted, no, a number of nations, the previously urge spacing to remove those barriers are imposing travel restrictions on chinese nationals. ostensibly amid renewed fears of that virus spreading. our teeth marine across rivers being taking a deeper look into the issue. it's the case of damned if you do this and the if you don't know that china is relaxing its strength, 0 cov at policies after 3 long years, which had says that and forms as the expanse of its economy. but for the sake of its people was from me the are having a field day with headlines like these. but did you know about as of may this year, more than 1000000 people have died from cove 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. yet a pandemic that's far from over. that's more than any country in the world now did was see the same hysteria in the media as we're seeing now with china. of course, not as the glass took their headline lead in the number of deaths and cases during the pandemic or american singled out and forced to be tested more than other war travelers. no, 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 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 countries, strict coven measures, western leaders were keen to push phasing to compromise and meet the protesters,

demands calling season, 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 address 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 to wanted, didn't you? and now people are changing their soon 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 was

sneering 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 enormous lloyd chris, this is we're a credible year president is most needed as he explains what we should and should not do. this is no time for donald trump record of hyster xenophobia historical jennifer. fast forward to this. if you've been to china get ready because the coven tasks are back even for those who have been vaccinated. so what was 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

a threat to the world. but maybe it should be about letting countries sort their problems out themselves. the kid will show us just before we go. new year's celebrations in france descended into violence overnight with police reporting from the country. more than 600 cars burdened some 400 people detained. these images from the outskirts of the french capital show firefighters working up the scene of a riot. while authorities in the western city of nonce reported the police cars were targeted with molotov cocktails. they specified, however, that fewer vehicles were destroyed in comparison with the same time last year. and more than $800.00 cars were reported burn charts. she couldn't look away. now, a former renown german athlete is staring down a possible jail sentence in her home country. her crime helping children in bothell . busy boss during the last 8 years of attacks there by keith's military. next,

we tell leon the story stick with with the national cinema barnett by showing a cup of tea. robert in the buck us. yet i just lavish, fortunately as a genie and then you view it. of course, ask us about doing a presto deacons.
