ah, i will welcome this is our t international with the latest world news roundup. it's great to happy with us. now russia that defense ministry says ukrainian forces have continued the 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 den yes, was hit several times shortly after the holds of hostilities was supposed to come into effect. his ortiz were mon cancer, from don. yes. earlier on friday is to 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 see squire began at noon on friday and should last until midnight on saturday. so for 36 hours so people

can celebrates at this event. however, at exactly noon on friday, ukraine once again shelled civilian areas here in the generic firing. multiple a rockets, multiple artillery shells against the civilian areas, according to local officials said they were $155.00 millimeter caliber, natal 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 it was also echoed by the leaders of the so called collective west as well. now

too many observers say here in the boss and in russia and ukraine as well, this shows and another divides between a ukrainian leadership and the orthodox sir church. now this has been going on for a while, many priests in ukraine, of the ukraine and orthodox church of the moscow patriarch kate were a question that interrogated by the agent sold, the police and other law enforcement but services many times that were threatened with the death and incarceration of there's 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 so common histories for many, many a centuries. o. as in regards to local officials, i hear in the boss president silva, the head of the,

the nest people's republican. a specialist says that if the sees wire will be broken, if there are casualties, they have all all the right to to, to respond and to return fire against those barbaric attacks as a place against peace 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 millimeter caliber rocket landed in their house, i went to visit that area. and here's my report. ukrainian military continues said the shedding of residential areas of fudge announced 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 very missile during currently, which of the investigative committee of russia's conducting an inquiry. this entails and inspection of the scene in the caribbean shoved districts of donuts columbia, which was once again hit by artillery fire from ukraine. fragments of an legend, $155.00 millimeter projectile were found at the scene. she's jimmy. certain districts here in the nest had been under constant shedding by the ukraine military, nearly 9 years and more sol, how the last year since a 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 ukrainian 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 g, somebody do a street was bombed here yesterday to women were injured, but thank god, not seriously. there's also housed there, of course, destroyed. it's like this every day. my aunt was killed a week ago on a neighboring street live right across the street and just bird threw up. it hid the halls directly. it's nightmare here. the craning army only bumps civilians, but there is no military ship, no warehouses. rush 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 ukraine and military. they have an armored car part. fortunately, this court 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,

herschel reselling for give you a little bit about 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 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 all those who were involved in the killing peaceful civilians will face justice, vermont coffer of hearty done. it's republican on orthodox christmas eve, celebrated by both russians and ukrainians. key of the security service agents

rated multiple churches across the country, saying that pro russian materials were found that at the same time, ukrainian officials came to be impartial towards religious denominations. meanwhile, some west and politicians have cried foul over keith's refusal to observe a ceasefire for christmas. he was republican congressman at po, go, sa 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 mainstream media, they already said that ukraine didn't agree to add to the truth. so yeah, i think it was totally expected, of course, huge provocation that they do it just after 12 because then the seats for be

started. it's for sure, a big sign that this is my between the ukranian church and their russian tours is not respected. it shows from the ukrainian side and also to western sad that they don't want and truth, they don't want negotiations at all because otherwise they would have said, okay to at least respect and holy moly day like christmas. and it is meaningful for russians and ukrainians dis, date, like they do in the west when it was christmas to respected millions of people now mocking orthodox christmas across russia and some other 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 carrillo delivered his traditional address calling for you to see and urging russians to pray for orthodox believe miss williams has accused in ukraine lucas lady, ships of yet she em hello. 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 leave for themselves for our homeland leave for those who are suffering to day on that for our brothers and you cray eyes that were being expelled from the key of a picturesque lover of today is the law of rod that for centuries only been the keeper or the genuine and undistorted orthodox each in its the, the head of the russian orthodox church. preacher 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 brief are tuning into the christmas mass, a lie stream from their homes in his heath creature tiriel as more shippers to free for those in ukraine who aren't able to participate in this tradition. we ask

people what the thing about this situation and what christmas means to them in us for thought it for me. christmas symbolizes unification. the unity of the family. we have relatives in ukraine and this holiday should unite us. the rental of christmas is a fairy tale, something unusual and pleasant. we have come on trying to win ukraine and never said that is dear to us. it's terrible that thou trying to destroy them here at the drug was selected 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 discourse. every one should be united nearly for in 10 of the roles. orthodox christians live in russia with orthodoxy being the 3rd largest branch of bershana and these friday meal ants of ortho excretions in russia, or celebrating christmas, attending churches and cathedral throwed the country for the 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 julian calendar rather than the goran use in greece and many other orthodox countries. that is why isa christmas and many other really just 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 referenda this little yes. republic, city of margot poll, which so some of the thesis fossils of last year's conflicts, churches held sullen at festive services. early on friday, however, the traditional nighttime ceremonies had been postponing factor to security concerns from locals. so they've come out celebration. defiance of the hostility cecile rose slowly, just through the duma. you said before it's christmas. how could i not come to the cathedral? as for the sheylan, it has been ongoing for 8 years. i will hello, 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 that and everything will be fine with you. gave me mall 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 library zalinski, who thanked michael and said, quote, your meaning mack holes leadership brings our victory closer, is starting 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 framed, 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 straw 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 within europe to make germany

a 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. alexi daniel, of pressuring germany to also deliver on tanks for q, by raising the absolutely ridiculous specter of russia invading germany. if he doesn't get it to weapons. wishlist felt saying in a recent interview that if german cesar 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 whether tanks are needed for. busy 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 tanks 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, where so at the end do take the guns and hands off the tags, so they can't be used offensively. and i'll come on. shorts and michael's 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 have been wounded including one child after an albanian national targeted civilians and a drive by shooting and the village of go. so boucher in southern course of the incident of songs outrage among local ethnic phelps with many blocking roads demanding justice victims of being taken to hospital until reported to be in a stable condition. we had from some eye witnesses of the attack, who said the civilians are lucky to have survived until the little boy was shot

above his forearm. he 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. 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. it was i went to get the traditional bonding tree as we do every year went to the road to take pictures. and on the way back lazy car came, shot me in the house. and then by the way, the situation remains tense. i protested in southern coast. those say that roadblocks will be maintained until the attack is brought to justice. i'll take contributing to your senses. this report early on friday. boys were turning from the woods, caring the so called the binding additional retreat. it's represents christmas and they were going along the road singing and vehicle stopped. man, around 30 years of age came out and shot to them,

and he tips escaped from the crime scene. both boys are stable, one was wounded in his arm and other in his folder, and they are 21 and 11 years of age course police came out saying that they have arrested him and also the both of him. but terms are kept calling regarding this and they said that they will remain here until they are circling that that person portal they sold is the real factor and that he will be charged the end, the prosecutor in the rightful manners until then they're staying and blocking several roads in the south, of course the limits of the men justice and we are basically get the news from one minute, one other situation changing every every, every 2nd basically. and one thing is certain that we are once again for some rest of the night regarding the situation in the cost. and that's all the information you can so far than bob boy is taking action to limit the foreign

exploitation of its natural resources. the african countries government has suspended processing pilots on the extraction of strategically important minerals. it has thus become necessary that in our nation's interests, we will temporarily stop accepting and processing applications for mining licenses for the following minerals until further notice, diamonds, copper, lithium nichol, and rare earth minerals. the above directives are to go into effect immediately. then it comes after some local mine has failed to declare the discoveries of certain minerals that he restrictions are also aimed to providing more oversight on the activity of foreign mining operators in zimbabwe. the country hose, the largest lithium reserves in africa with the metal required for high tech production lines in many countries. and by way, at a reported billions of dollars in loss is due to the illegal extraction of its lithium by multinational companies. we had from some leading local politicians

about the significance of the new restrictions. the country has been losing billions of dollars in the export of lithia which is on very high demand globally because lithium is used for electric batteries, sola 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 makes about which low de la economy. and we can only do that when we are preserving what we have into to mining the prices of what we have and how we're going to betray do with other countries that we know his sources that we have in our country. they've been a lotto, only tempe exploited the country. and as a country we have been if to lead to is my true every one of the biggest liter um to pause in the world, benefits to did that federally. so we came about with this sir. oh, policy to buy an export of raleigh gym to encourage companies to come and sit

beside the country. ah, demonstrate as i write it down, southern latvian embassy in moscow to protest against what they call the countries a suppression of free speech. as of the rigor detained, the chief editor of the sputnik lithuania, news agency, journalist merits cancer, who holds a lot. the impossible 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 on the head of spook 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 prospectives at the approach, kendrick, i say that it's a 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 you and we need to understand this level reach. no, it's not the 1st time the journalist has been targeted by european authorities, nar, cason recently described his detention in lithuania, back in 2019. he said will the finishes 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, that you saw back in 2019, i was detained,

that villainous airport, searched and questioned for 5 or 6 hours to state security officers performed a role play of good cop bad cop. the bad one shouted at me, you're working for kissing 1200. 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 council on human rights saved the latvian case against marriage. cust them is absurd. and his code on the o. s. e and council of europe intervene. geopolitical as brian, valero, takes the journalists detention highlights the west campaign against alternative narratives. i think it's a 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 claim that stood for freedom of speech. and they, they do it under increasingly ambiguous and irrational grounds. it absolutely is a violation of international law. this one of the, the pillars of what the u. s. claims is this international rules based order is the self proclaimed leader of and yet it has done the most it's and it's like they've done the most to demolish these 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. he can find the latest news updates on our website, r t dot com. thank you for joining us here in asi international. ah ah ah .

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development, only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk with russian state will never be as tight as i'm phoning most lansky with eclipse in assisted babbling. okay, so mine is 2000 speedy. one else with we will van in the european union, the kremlin. yup, machine. the state aunt,
