to look for common ground ah ah moscow se puede continues firing on civilian areas despite a cease fire announced by russia for orthodox christmas, which care refused to uphold. local serbs block roads in southern kosovo, demanding justice for 2 victims, including a child wounded doctor, and albania. national it's targeted civilians drive by shooting lawlessness in europe. that's how the head of good news is parent company around the detention of its chief lithuania editor pro courts. ethan not fair

with . i will welcome. this is auntie international with the latest wealth news roundup . it's great to happy with us. now russia, the defense ministry, says ukrainian forces have continued that shelling of civilian areas and made an ongoing unilateral 36 hour orthodox christmas sees fire, which care rejected. according to local officials, the city of dan, yes, was hit several times shortly after the holds of hostilities was supposed to come into effect. his ortiz ramon concert from don. yes. earlier on friday, it says cease. fire was ordered by president vladimir putin in order for orthodox christians in russia and ukraine to attend to religious services. hearing this says sacred holiday and the cease fire began at noon on friday and should last until midnight on saturday. so for 36 hours. so people can celebrate this

event. however, at exactly noon on friday, ukraine once again, shields civilian areas. here in a generic firing multiple a rockets, multiple artillery shells against the civilian areas, according to local officials. so they were $155.00 millimeter caliber, nato supplied weapons to ukraine. so far we haven't heard about any casualties at this point. however, the news will be coming in throughout the day. now, once again, once this is a temporary truce, was offered by president vladimir putin suggested by the patriarch of the russian orthodox church, president lensky of ukraine refused to observe this cease fire and was also echoed by the leaders of the so called collective west as well. now

too many observers say here in the dung boss and in russia and ukraine as well, this shows another divides between a ukrainian leadership and the orthodox our church. now this has been going on for a while, many priests in ukraine, of the ukraine, an orthodox church, of the moscow patriarch case were a question that interrogated by the agent. so the police and other law enforcement but services many times are threatened with death and incarceration. so is a very huge divides in terms of for religion now in ukraine. but sir, rush, any crane have, but traditionally been a orthodox on the shared. this are common histories for many, many centuries. our as the in regards to local officials say, here in the boss, president, sofa, the head of the,

the dentist people's republican is pushing. it says that if the sees wire will be broken, if there are casualties, they have all all the rights it to to respond and to return fire against those barbaric attacks that they place against piece will civilians. meanwhile, ukrainian artillery continues to show peaceful civilians here on a daily basis. and locals are really used to it. as a several districts of the city are under constant artillery fire by ukraine. over the last 24 hours alone, a 2 women were wounded when a $155.00 millimeter caliber rocket landed in their house. i went to visit that area and here is my report. ukrainian military continues to the shedding of residential areas, offered jeanette's, as the result of the late, the sharing on thursday night 2 women were wounded. both women wore in their sixties. they were both in this house that now lays almost completely destroyed.

now, according to the russian investigative committee, ukraine used $135.00 millimeter caliber, a weapons that were supplied to give by nato countries militia, william isadore, currently, which of the investigative committee of russia's conducting an inquiry. this entails and inspection of the scene in the caribbean, shaft districts of donuts columbia, which was once again hit by artillery fire from ukraine, chloe, fragments of an legend. $155.00 millimeter projectile were found at the scene steamer. certain districts here in the nest had been under constant shilling by the crane military, nearly 9 years, and more sole whole the last year since the special military operation began. now i spoke with one of the local residents whose a house was destroyed and he says that this has been happening these barbaric attacks by your friend and military have been happening almost on a daily basis. just last week he buried his aunt and he said that he's been fixing

this house constantly, but right now it looks like is beyond repair. oh charles, you somebody do. a street was bombed here yesterday to women were injured, but thank god, now seriously, there's also house there, of course destroyed. it's like this every day. my aunt was killed a week ago on a neighboring street. we live right across the street and just bird. the record hid the halls directly. it's nightmare here. the crenan army only bumps civilians that there is no military here, no warehouses, church. russian investigative committee have been working here on the ground covering the war crimes committed by ukraine on a daily basis. they're traveling to each and every location that was shelled by ukrainian military. they have an armored car where unfortunately this car doesn't always save them their risk, their lives on a daily basis. and jeff, last week,

one of their com rates was killed by ukrainian hirschler, a shilling. fisma give you a little bit about the in the investigative committee of the russian federation has been here since the beginning of the special military operation. we record all the shelling and its consequences on a daily basis, and we also make daily records of any one wounded, injured, or killed. criminal cases are being opened with regard to the shelling and the perpetrators will definitely be punished. now these are just some, some of the discoveries that say investigators of the rush investigative committee make on a daily basis. now the trial absolutely. everywhere. of course, they record human tragedies as well. and they promised that so all those who were involved in the killing hope peaceful civilians will face justice room on call for a party on its republican on orthodox christmas eve, celebrated by both russians and ukrainians. key as the security service agents

rated multiple churches across the country, saying that pro russian materials were found them. at the same time, ukrainian officials came to be impartial towards religious denominations. may most on western politicians have cried foul lever keith's refusal to observe a ceasefire for christmas. he was republican congressman at poor go saw says he's not surprised by the ukrainian rejection as caught on washington to stop sending money to the country. and so after the pentagon announced another massive aid package of nitty $3000000000.00 to care of. so list sonya vans is and essays. the ukranian government is trying to provoke a new armed response from russia. i think it was to be expected because yesterday in the western names we media, they already said that ukraine didn't agree to add to the truth. so yeah, i think it was it we expected to of course use provocation that they do it just afternoon 12 because then the cease fire be started. it's for sure

a big sign that the, she's my between the ukranian church and their russian jurors is not respected. it shows from the ukrainian side and also to western sad that they don't want and truth, they don't one negotiations at all because otherwise they requested okay to at least respect a holy moly day like christmas and, and it is meaningful for russians and ukrainians does date like they do in the west when it was christmas to respect it, millions of people are now mocking orthodox christmas across russia. and some of the parts of eastern europe, public festivities are being held in many churches as one has plenty of private celebrations, of one of the biggest religious holidays. and as part of the world, i had off the festive service at moscow's main cathedral. the church of christ, the savior patriarch cornell delivered his traditional address, calling for unity and urging russians to pray for orthodox believe miss williams has accused of any crane lucas lady. she said, yes,

she angelo. i wish every one to experienced today's christmas night in a special way to pray from the bottom of their hearts board for their relatives friend. my lead for themselves for our homeland eve, for those who are suffering a day for our brothers and you crazed that were being expelled from the key up at church. glover today is the law of road that for centuries has been the keeper or the genuine. and undistorted orthodox, each in its seat, the head of the russian orthodox church creature. kid eel is leading the christmas eve lethargy as it rushes largest church, the cathedral of fries this savior. and despite minus 25 celsius or minus 13 foreign height freeze, hundreds of people have gathered here to celebrate with those who aren't so brave are tuning into the christmas mass a lie stream from their homes in face. he's pretty sure he really asked worshipers to pray for those in ukraine who aren't able to participate in this tradition. we

ask people what the thing about the situation and what christmas means to them in us restore it for me. christmas symbolizes unification. the unity of the family. we have relatives in ukraine and this holiday should unite us. the head of christmas is a free retail, something unusual and pleasant. we have come on trying to win ukraine and never send that is dear to us. it's terrible, the doubt trying to destroy them. yeah, i wish to learn it for a christmas is a family holiday for me. i'm in a good mood. i wish everyone happiness and good health and there should be no dease caught. every one should be united, nearly for in 10 of the rolls ortho excretions leaving russia with orthodoxy. being the 3rd largest branch of christianity. and these friday meal ends of orth excretions in russia, a celebrating christmas, attending churches, and cathedrals throughout the country, of with a traditional midnight mass that starts in the late hours of january, 6th, and ends early in the morning of january 7th. that is because the russian church

follows the old the julian calendar rather than the gregorian youth in greece and many other orthodox countries. that is why isa christmas and many other religious holidays come to russia 2 weeks later. but now it's finally here. so merry christmas, everyone orthodox christmas is of course also being marked in russia's new regions which recently joined the country off to referendums. i don't. yes, we're public city of margot poll, which so some of the thesis battles of last year's conflicts, churches held solemn at festive services. early on friday, however, the traditional nighttime ceremonies had been postponing factor to security concerns from local. so they've come out just celebration. defiance of the hostility cecile rose slowly as it is through the duma. you said before it's christmas. how could i not come to the cathedral? as for the shannon, it has been ongoing for 8 years. yet i believe it, i wish paced all the residents. i want people to understand that family and good

health is what matters. you know, destruction. i think they will get through this and everything will be fine if you gave me mol, as the us on his allies, step up military support for ukraine. a french president in monument cron has reiterated previous commitments to keith, promising even more arms and combat vehicles. to support the proxy war f, as despite claiming that france is not a party to the conflicts until victory and until peace returns to europe or support for ukraine will not waver. i confirmed it to president zalinski. france will provide light combat tanks and continuous support in terms of a defense. there's been a distinct shift in the french president's rhetoric on the ukraine conflict. he keeps repeating in tweets the words until victory and retreated. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski who thanked mack hole and said, quote, your meaning mack holes. leadership brings our victory closer. it started to sound a lot like france is a co belligerent in this conflict on ukraine side against russia. and that's quite

different from how michael frame frances rolled back in may of last year. we are not at war with russia. we are working as europeans for the preservation of the sovereignty territorial integrity of ukraine. and for the return of peace draw continent, we will be that to rebuild ukraine as europeans have always been pretty difficult for my call to argue that france and europe aren't at war with russia, as he explicitly says there. while at the same time, promising to load one side of the conflict up with combat tanks to use against russian forces. it's like michael is bringing paris into this conflict with the back of the spoon, as they say here in france, mission creep in the absence of any democratic consultation with the french electorate to see if they want to be back deeper into a conflict with russia. particular and even the cost that they're paying in terms of energy bills and inflation. now. previously, michael had taken a lot of flak from the western establishment over his more neutral positions. on

this conflict, former nato secretary general hans fob rasmussen, lambasted michael in an interview last summer over michael's lack of military support to ukraine and over the french president's insistence on a diplomatic solution to the conflict. and just last month, we learned that diplomats from the baltic states and other you countries were lodging formal complaints with their french counterparts over michael's insistence in an interview on french t v. in december that russia be given security guarantees in any negotiations. so it's pretty clear that even a neutral position, like mac home did have, or one that favors piece and negotiations over escalation is now viewed as not just unacceptable, but hostile to ukraine by the western establishment. and well, the pressure is just ramping up on all sides to abandon any neutrality whatsoever to finish politicians launched

a campaign with in europe to make germany hand over tanks to ukraine. now the logic is that if other similar countries could pledge german leopard tanks to ukraine than it would embarrassing for germany not to do the same. there's also pressure coming directly from ukraine, with secretary of the national security and defense council of ukraine. alexey daniel of pressuring germany to also deliver on tanks for q, by raising the absolutely ridiculous spectre of russia invading germany. if he doesn't get its weapons. wishlist felt saying in a recent interview that if german chancellor olaf sholtes wants, quote the germans to fight near berlin and near stuttgart on german tanks with the russians, then he can just continue his game of weather tanks are needed for ukraine or not. so what do you know, germany and the u. s. have now just agreed to also along with france, sand combat tags to ukraine and they all just keep talking about taste as though

they're just defensive weapons. now, those are some pretty impressive rhetorical and mental gymnastics. almost as much as planning to not be involved in conflict while army one side was. so whether you do take the guns, the canons, off the tanks. so they can't be used offensively. and i'll come on shorts and my calls, thin facade of neutrality has obviously just totally crumbled with this new move. and so has any pretence that michael may have had in adopting an independent position in the interests of peace. to subs that the wounded, including one child after an albanian national targeted civilians and a drive by shooting and the village of go. so boucher in southern kosovo, the incident response outrage among local ethnic seps with many blocking roads demanding justice victims have been taken to hospital and av reported to be in a stable condition. we had from some eye witnesses of the attack, who say the civilians are lucky to have survived until the little boy was shot

above his forearm. it could have been more serious, but he was lucky. you will have to undergo surgery because the bullet got stuck in his arm. no will. we were returning to the village when we a picture and this man came rolled down, the car window took out his gun and started shooting. 2 of my friends were hit, then the attacker fled the scene, was a button went to get the traditional bond, the tree as we do every year went to the road to take pictures. and on the way back, the call came shot me in the house. and then that way, the situation remains tense. i protested in southern coast though say that road blocks will be maintained until the attack is brought to justice. also contributes a nuclear, you know, they've sent us this report early on friday. boys were turning from the woods, carrying the so called, dividing up additional treatments or presents christmas and they were going along the road, sinking and vehicle stopped. man, around 30 years of age came out and shot to them and he takes escapes from the

crime scene. both boys are stable, one was wounded in his arm and other shoulder, and they are ready, one and 11 years of age course police came out saying that they have arrested him in the service, kept the call regarding this and they are, they said that they will remain here until they are certain that that person whose portal they sold is the real factor and that he will be charged the end of prosecutor in the right manner. until then they're staying and blocking several roads in the south. of course, when they get the men justice and we are basically get the news from one minute, one other suggestion is strange and every every, every 2nd basically. and one thing is certain that we are once again the rest of the night regarding the situation in no cost. and that's where all the information can so far been bomb boys taking action to limit the foreign

exploitation of its natural resources. the african countries government house suspended processing pilots on the extraction of strategically important minerals. it has thus become necessary that in our nation's interest, we will temporarily stop accepting and processing applications for mining licenses for the following minerals until further notice, diamonds cover, lithium, nickel, and rare earth minerals. the above directives are to go into effect immediately. the move comes after some local miners fell to declare their discoveries of certain minerals that he restrictions are also and providing more oversight on the activity of foreign mining operators. in zimbabwe, the country holds the largest lithium reserves in africa with the metal required for high tech production lines in many countries, said bob white earlier reported billions of dollars in losses due to the illegal extraction of its lithium by multinational companies. we had for some leading local

politicians about the significance of the new restrictions. the country been losing billions of dollars an export of lithium, which is on very high demand globally because lithium is used for electric, but trees, solar but trees smart for that cetera, cetera. and i think that was a very positive, double move that was made by the government was about which, because we're at a stage where we are supposed to be a shoring that will make about which low de la economy. and we can only do that when we are preserving what we have and determining the prices of what we have and how we're going to be trading with other countries. that me know is sources that we have in our country. they've been a lot offer all the time, export of the country. and as a country we have benefited little is my true every one of the biggest lee jump to posing the world benefits to did that federally. so we came aboard with this sir. oh policy to buy an export of raleigh come to encourage her

companies to come and sit bishop the country. ah demonstrate as i run it outside the latvian embassy in moscow to protest against what they call the country, the suppression of free speech. as of the rig it attains the chief editor of the sport. thank nathan rainy a news agency journalist merits cas. i'm who holds a lengthy and passport, was detained by the country security services on charges of violating anti russian sanctions and reportedly espionage, the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman condemned for detention as a blatant violation of free speech. we both got reaction from a russian, m, p and the head of split next parent company almost disassembled as a merits can possibly lose his freedom, due to allegations of violating anti russian sanctions. i mean the sanctions are a lawful as well as the arrest. this is lawlessness in europe when a person can be arrested for his journalistic work opinion or the information he

provides. there can be even harsher chargers for such as espionage or treason. and we've dealt with this before, and we shouldn't rule out such dark prospective heads up roscoe, luca for that matter which affects every journalist. because if anybody can be taken in custody for their opinion and be charged with espionage which is not uncommon these days, then nobody say funny. so all people should stand together in this situation. america, sam did not violate any laws who did his job as a journalist. legally. he provided to an unbiased information and hid nothing from . i will kind of spies a person who works in the public eye for the media and hides nothing but the accusations across if you and we need to understand this leech. no, it's not the 1st time the journalist has been targeted by european authorities. mark castle recently described his detention in lithuania, back in 20. 19. you simple to finish, that it would take me several hours to simply name all the journalists who come under pressure in eastern europe. here is just one of my own stories. in brief,

what you saw back in 2019. i was detained at villainous airports. what searched and questioned for 5 or 6 hours to state security officers performed a role play of a good cop, bad cop with the bad one shouted at me, you're working for kissing 12. why did you come here? the other one asked me that you're a latvian citizen, so why are you working for them? you know who they are, they're not really. people rushes, a peculiar country only. finally, he said, you're lucky, you're not a russian citizen or we would be having a very different conversation. and now we'll just kick you out and close the border for you for 5 years. come on the the russian president's counsel on human rights saved the latvian case against marriage. cast them is absurd. and his code on the o. s. e and council of europe to intervene. geo political as brian valero, take say, the journalists detention highlights the west campaign against alternative narratives . i think at the continuation of western hypocrisy. and more

specifically, this campaign, the specific campaign of censoring any sort of information coming from russia's point of view, or anyone agreeing with russia's point of view. and this is essentially shutting down what the west has always claimed that stood for freedom of speech. and they do it under increasingly ambiguous and irrational grounds. it absolutely is a violation of international law. just one of the, the pillars of what the u. s. claims is this inter national rules based order is the self proclaimed leader of and yet it has done the most it and it's i like the done the most to demolish is pillars one by one. freedom of the press being one of the news news organizations like r t, r raced off of youtube, and this is all i think is fine of desperation and weakness on the west part. they

cannot afford alternative narratives and alternative points of view entering into the conversation because they have no way to defend their own point of view. you can find the latest news updates on our website, r t dot com. thank you for joining us here in asi international. mm hm. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is offensive. very dramatic and development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk with the russian

state. little narrative. i've stayed on the most landscape with eclipse in 55 with. okay, so mine is group i'm speaking with. we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state on russia today, and split our t sputnik given our video agency, roughly all band to on youtube with . hm. mm
