the turning on and mass use of mobile phones within range of enemy weapons was on this fact to allow the enemy to locate and determine the coordinates of mil to personnel location to carry out him is, australia, it is currently all necessary measures had been taken to prevent such tragic incidents in the future. russia destroyed the i mas launcher vehicle, the tool, these missiles, according to the russian ministry of defense. furthermore, full more high mas launches were destroyed in the 4th. a settlement near by there also who avo multiple rocket, rude to systems, were destroyed. a ukrainian barracks was struck with 200 casualties there nearby and muslim. another flowers was struck with how foreign prizes together with the ukrainian military we've seen demons. patience of people in samara, which again is where these mobilized fights is hailed from more than 500 people

tragedy will be punished. i've spent more than 6 months on the frontlines. we've seen the legs that the russian military goes curb to mitigate risks, to minimize risk. and the same is true for, for soldiers who could have get many of them living in buildings together. more than a 100. these missiles that were launched, where a message, because somebody somewhere messed up. and that is what the russian ministry of defense is trying to say that they will get to the bottom of this at the, the offices, the generals, those responsible for, for stationing so many people together in a single building that they will be identified. and they will be punished. the governor of the crimean city of civil store, paul has said that to drones was shot down near the local airport. but he also said that no flights had been effected. meanwhile, defense systems have been operating overnights in the russian city of ross. stop on dawn that says locals reported bright flushes and explosions in the area. there

were no reports of casualties. and according to local officials, the situation in the region remain a fundamentally new level. well, that's how russian energy dines gas problem has described. it's got exports to china in the 1st days of the new year in 2022 at the request of the chinese side deliveries regularly exceeded the daily contractual amounts. and as a result, we exceeded our annual obligations. this certainly speaks volumes about gas prom is a responsible supplier and a reliable partner. it also shows the interest of china, the most promising gas market in russian pipeline gas supplies. russia supplies gas to countries in asia by the power of siberia pipeline and gas drum intends to increase expos to china with more routes planned for the company supplies to europe while they were stopped last year in the aftermath of unfair russia,

sanctions and explosions that damage the to know stream gas pipelines overall in november, gas bomb report to disgust production decreased by over 18 percent compared with the same period. last year we spoke to c g t n correspondent, young chin. she says that in a time of global upheaval, countries align with those who choose corporation well, even before 2022, treat investments in the world have long been plagued by rising trends in protectionism. meaning countries using the, the economy as a weapon, that something that's now exacerbated export se with the particular trade and investment climate that russia is in right now, especially with many of its traditional clients in the west. it is only natural to pivot to countries that are willing to prioritize cooperation and development, a tick economic relations with china. for example. the country has also been facing its own challenges in terms of increasing western blockade in trade and investment expos say this,

natalie pro are prompted china to up is collaboration with the more stable trading partners such as russia from january to november last year by little trade volume between the 2 countries reached $172000000000.00 us dollars, which was a substantial increase of 32 percent year on year. chinese input of russian goods rose 48 percent. a large part of it. energy and chinese export to russia. rose 13 percent consisting of items such as industrial equipment appliances to a tronic gadgets to one extra seed, a stable relationship between russia and china. serves as a foundation for many longer term collaborations in more strategic areas such as nuclear, aerospace, rockets and satellite navigation. on the other hand, there are issues to be iron out such as the issue of trade, trade settlement and currently still limited logistic capabilities, especially in terms of rail oh, on over to africa. now where burkina faso has expelled the french ambassador and submit arise in unseen french sentiments in the country. local reporter brings us

more details. above well, hello is no longer desire the look you know, fast to the transitional authorities invoking. i believe that live a lot is constant sending an hour to get fossil flooring for melissa and lucretia later last month to present in manuel. my call to ask him to find in you to present to see if of his country is looking at 5 different operations. well, the decision, some of us, the government to cut or papa she, we price together very excited by this decision. i wouldn't complain if this had been done even earlier. we are happy when a slender is expelled, such people must be changed the way. so why wasn't he kicked out sooner? was they want him to leave due to his actions. cutting off relations with france is not a big deal. there are other countries cooperate with not. it's not something that

surprises me really. regarding the recent radiation of relations between france and work in a foster, as shown by numerous public demonstrations and speeches by specials are not that surprised at all to get the decision as the will of our leaders. then i can say that it's good because what the people don't know are leaders do know. also perhaps the ambassador realizes what he did and so do the authorities and they know why they are urging france to recall. no commit from the government. a book you know, possible yet you know, fisher price and this is what i contacted to. they said it's low coleman fossil is not challenging, but preferably but shouldn't worry about valuable people as a 2nd set of decisions to come. a couple of weeks ago the us system called me to fossil was expense. so this is the 2nd romantic,

made your decision from the government of the show. me never seen that to love the kid is looking up and actually called the win is really indifferent embassies. what google as they don't know, who is the next life we then we will see what became the fastest form and busted it to friends. told us that paris must face the new and changing realities in africa. if the secret is up to love, it is necessary for the actors of friends and politics to accept that there has been an evolution in the african states with an increasingly educated view. more and more cultured people who need to assert their autonomy and personality a little more. our french partners must also take this into account. africans are not naive anymore. they know that russia also defense. it's interesting. it is a g o strategic position to defend, just like france does. what africans are looking for today is

a way to effectively strengthen their autonomy from the great powers, but also to be able to acquire many more advantages for their development and moving on. now, germany's rejected reparation talks with poland, which was so requested as compensation for billions crimes. during the 2nd world war, the gym government has said that the matter is closed. according to the german government, the case of reparations and compensation for war demons remains closed. the german government does not intend to open negotiations on this matter. this answer to sum it up shows an absolutely disrespectful attitude towards poland and both germany does not perceive friendly policy to was poland. they want to build their sphere of influence here and treat poland as a vessel state. or poland has asked the you and for assistance on the issue and launched a large scale information campaign in the country, as well as reaching out to other major global organizations. holden's,

deputy foreign minister said the international communities, unaware of berlin's failure to pay reparations to warsaw for the crimes committed in poland. between 90391945 malaria. we spoke with the institute of european studies professor steven diet. he said that there might be a 3rd party in the reparation conflicts between poland and germany. borne maybe has the, the right of course to ask for operations as other nations that were ah, victims of nazi german aggression during world war 2. however, the timing is very interesting. so of course, since $1004.00, if i'm not mistaken, are born is asking for the reparations. but this has been intensified in the last last couple of months, actually in since february this year. since the last a escalation, already existing war in eastern europe. and so i think that there is

a more profound reason for this. that is that as many times in 2014 and 15, the chief of stradford the time, ah, george friedman said that the main question is germany. he said that the european union is unsustainable as a project and that it will eventually fall apart. and the main question of europe is german, the german question. so the interest of the united states and he openly said that, i, as it was the interest of great britain in the past, is for germany not to get connected are in a geopolitical coalition with russia. as a germany does she in russia resources might pose a threat for london in the past and even present and or washington to day and that everything should be done? ah, so that this does not happen. so i am inclined to think that full and might be motivated from a 3rd party to ah,

intensify these requests. washington's aspirations for global hegemony will crumble if key of falls while us, according to journalists. robert kagan is the husband of victoria newland. the u. s . under secretary of state, it was fuzzy linked to ukraine's 2014 my done uprising. the united states has used its power and influence to defend and support the hedge money of liberalism. the defense of ukraine is a defense of the liberal hedge money. when republican senator, mitch mcconnell and others, say that the united states has a vital interest in ukraine, they do not mean that the united states will be directly threatened if ukraine falls. they mean that the liberal world order will be threatened if ukraine falls awhile. kagan claims the liberal world hinges on ukraine's success in the conflicts . he is seemingly ignoring your decision to suppress opposition media, deny citizens the right to piece, full assembly, and order

a crackdown on ukraine's orthodox church. or wall ranking in the world's top. 67th percentile of corrupt states. washington's fides for the liberal world order has placed it on the center of the federal government collapses. with a former us national security adviser even admitted to taking part in planning cruise from launching a military intervention in libya through involvement in ukrainian. my done uprising, journalist and author daniela's. ah, says washington so called liberal policies, you'd say it in so push for global domination. it's crazy. it lacks or perspective, it's a blueprint for world domination, but also a blueprint for world war. essentially, this kind of concept of universal liberalism is itself highly illiberal. because it means one nation representing about less than 5 percent of the global population imposing its will on the rest of the world. highly ironic that this liberal world

order is now committing itself to the unqualified defense of a country. which is increasingly under neo nazi influence that's, that's the insane, that's in itself is insane. and that neo liberal form is highly intolerance. of any kind of political challenge by outside powers such as russia or china, or even smaller countries like a ran nicaragua, cuba, venezuela, etc. so this neo liberal impulse is turned into a crazy, it's mutated into a crazy kind of push for global domination, which is, couldn't be more illiberal. the russian president, vladimir putin has attended an online naval ceremony with the admiral god called ship, which has entered active combat duty. according to the russian defense necessarily

show you the frigate equipped with dick on hypersonic myth. i went back on a long range voyage to the atlantic indian ocean on the mediterranean. 15 has previously said, that is, there consisted, has no analogues in the world and will form a key parts of russia's defense systems. and as we continue to wrap up the top headlines of 2022 belly, a week passed without protests flaring up somewhere in the world. it's the many for one news bulletin to cover over wall western countries praised protests overseas as a fundamental human rights attitude towards them. at home, often had a different reaction on the marine corps server fix. a closer look was all notice that western countries have a love, hate relationship with protests in foreign lands when it suits them. they're all forts, but when it doesn't, they are condemned. well, let's see what we got in 2022.

ah. protest breakouts in iran after the death of a young woman behind bars, after she was detained by the country's morality police for improperly wearing a headscarf. while authority such should die, there were pre existing medical condition. her relatives claimed her detention was the cause. well, protest gain momentum, and the whole thing turned into an opportunity for the concerned was to jump in with support the right for people everywhere. whether it's in china, whether it's iran, whether it's any place else, to protest peacefully, to make known their views, to vent their frustrations. such sentiments intensified online with media such as fox news feature in the same guest and the parents. iranian journalists and activists. for 3 continuous days, calling for a revolution to morrow, iranian women will shake the clerical regime by removing their he job and taking to

the streets across iran to say no to he job. this is called women revolution. in iran walking unveiled is a crime. iranian men will also join us. iran says the woman has been working on behalf of the united states for a long time, receiving the hundreds of thousands of dollars for work focused on challenge and iranian laws, while demanding more sanctions from the west against her country. and then income france and the u. k. to land their voices of support, condemning the violent repression of legitimate peaceful protests in iran. let's make that clear because in their own countries ah, the u. k was busy passing laws that significantly restrict the right to such protest, and that's despite hundreds rally in, in various cities across the u. k. calling for an end to the bill,

which has also been condemned by human rights activists. meanwhile, there is no uproar from the west. ah, in france, its year 4 of the so called yellow vest movements weekly protest aimed at economic and political reforms at various times, hundreds of thousands of people rallied, but that the french government observed them peacefully. no, the violent crack thou that ensued has since been condemned by rights groups as well as all the countries. and that's still happening, by the way, ah, moving on to china and the mass protests against the countries. strict 0 cove at policies, people should be allowed. the right to assemble and to peacefully protests,

policies or laws or dictates that they take issue with the white house, supports the right of peaceful protest. so it's ok to protest in china and iran, but not france or the u. k. you got that right. and america's support comes with a warning, as well as some more encouraging words from its pals. the ccp should know that one way or another in the coming months or in the coming years, the united states will hold accountable each and every ccp official responsible for atrocities against these protest this. everyone in china should be allowed to express themselves, should be allowed to share their perspectives and indeed protest. we're going to continue to ensure that china nose will stand up. human rights will stand was people who are expressing themselves. so just intruder is all for standing out quite human rights and people express themselves. ah,

well let's discuss canada's freedom convoy, shall we as series of protests against covet 19 policies that saw hundreds of convoys joined by thousands of protesters to block roads and border crossings. organizers, crowdfunding millions for this and now they're on bail facing several charges while calling for freedom convoy 2 point oh oh nonsense. according to their prime minister, the small fringe minority of people who are on their way to ottawa or are holding unacceptable views that they're expressing do not represent the views of canadians who have been there for each other. ah. and then there's the so called democracy in peru while they give us vol comes that countries, new leader. it's people not so much the us welcomes president bloss a and looks forward to working with her administration to achieve more diplomatic,

prosperous and secure region. we support her call for we go on with of national unity and applause, peruvians as the you know, in support of their democracy. we don't agree with the way our president was ousted with lies and trickery below art. he doesn't deserve to be president. she hasn't been elected by the people. we're defending our democratic rights. we don't want to be governed by a user per the e. u and the white house, however, welcomed the new leader right away and said that she was the rightful successor, calling her a safeguard of democracy and constitutional order. meanwhile, thousands were clash with wyatt. police and the state of emergency was declared. there are have been instances where the police appear to have resulted in nasa right and disproportionate use of force and indiscriminate use of gas. so the new leader who is backed by the west is already accused of a violent crack down on peaceful protesters. well, i guess in this case,

the west statements about everyone having the rights of bands does not apply. in 2022, russia became the world's most sanctioned country. but western lead a certainty that international pressure would make moscow changes course as left many questioning the effectiveness of the sanctions and who is actually be most affected by them, also contributes her re thomaston, brings is the story. 2002 was the year that the west took its longstanding fantasy of marginalising, the reserve rich biggest country in the entire world. and turn that delusion into actual policy. western establishment team. west is chock full of those types who are basically that guy. and their big obsession is with team russia. they couldn't stop bragging about how they were going to start. team rushes, success with their sanctions. powerplay was already lost 30 percent of his value.

russian stock market laws 40 percent of us value and trade in remains suspended. russian economy is ruling and prudent alone is the one to blame. we're determined to make the kremlin pay for this further escalation. so today we're together proposing a new package of biting sanctions against russia. it turned out that in focusing a bit too much on trying to take down team russia with sanctions while failing to deliver on that promise. the west's fans ended up disappointed big time. mm. mm. mm mm hm.

with team was fan anger, mounting corporations on its own side, started opening bank accounts in team rushes, currency, the rouble, so they can keep getting team rushes energy for their own survival. we consider a payment conversion, compliant with sanctions, ours and the russian decree to be possible for our company and for germany as a whole. it is not possible to do without russian gas in the short term. this would have dramatic consequences for our economy. but it also the point where team was just could not ignore its fans outrage, it was pretty much impossible. so it started back tracking on it sanctioned strategy against team rushes. resources easing up on russian company, selling oil to 3rd parties. russian banks, insurance sanctions,

most recently called sanctions with perhaps fertilizer and cement sanctions. next the ear continues to ensure that it sanctions donald impact energy and agri, food exports from russia to a 3rd countries comparing press coverage from earlier this year earlier. the season to what we're seeing now, it's clear that all the early season hopes and optimism have given way to the harsh realities that team west to misguided and ideologically driven strategy has right. the social is with sanctions and not the and go dialogue is the key. and i would like to highlight the you has made a decision not to support the strengthening of restrictions. so in 2023, we should find out if team last has a change in strategy that perhaps takes its supporters best interests into account . or if it's headed for a big showdown with its very own fans. and just before we

go, 2022 was filled with global events that are shaping the future of the world. there's also numerous slips of the tongue untrusted talk by world leaders, even though most of them were not meant to be seen or heard by the public. it all i, we presents you our best picks of political a a with

. ready dialogue with the condition.
