a a with a continuous firing on civilian areas despite a thief fire announced by russia orthodox christmas, which here refused to uphold local subs, block roads in southern kosovo, demanding, just to speak to victims, including a child, wound, doctor, and albania, national. it's targeted civilians and a 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 fear

a will welcome. this is our t international with the latest wealth news roundup. it's great to happy with us. now russia, the defense ministry, says ukrainian forces have continued the shelling of civilian areas and made an ongoing, unilateral 36 hour orthodox christmas. these fire, which care rejected. according to local officials, the city of dan, yes, was hit several times shortly after the whole to possibilities was supposed to come into effect. his ortiz ramon concert from don yes. earlier on friday, ceasefire was ordered by president vladimir putin in order for orthodox christians in russia. and ukraine to attend to religious says, 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 shelled civilian areas here in the generic firing. multiple a rockets, multiple artillery shells against a 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 that he 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 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 kates were a question that interrogated by the agent. so the police and other law enforcement but service has many times are threatened with death and incarceration. so is a very huge divides in terms of religion now in ukraine. but sir, rush, any crane, have, but traditionally been a orthodox and the shared this so common histories for many, many, a centuries. our as the in regards to local officials, i hear 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 as a place against peaceful 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 latest 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 millimeter caliber, a weapons that were supplied to give by nato countries militia, william isadore, currently, the investigative committee of russia's conducting an inquiry. this entails and inspection of the scene in the caribbean shoved districts of donuts club, which was once again hit by artillery fire from ukraine clay fragments of an legend . $155.00 millimeter projectile were found at the scene. similar, certain districts here in janice 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 the 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, you somebody do. a street was bombed here yesterday to women were injured, but thank god, not 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 live right across the street and just bird. the record, he had the house directly. it's nightmare here. the crenan army only bumps civilians that there is no military here, no warehouses. 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 comrades was killed by ukrainian herschel reselling 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. and it's 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 that at the same time, ukrainian officials came to be impartial towards religious denominations. meanwhile, some west and politicians have cried foul lever 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. as of the pentagon announced another massive aid package of nearly $3000000000.00 to care of. so list sonya advances 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 often. well, because then the sci fi and we started it for sure, a big sign that the,

she's my between ukranian church and their russian tours is not respect. 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 would have said, 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 corel delivered his traditional address. quoting the unity and urging russians to pray for orthodox believers. williams has accused in ukraine. what this lady ships up yet 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 leave, for those who are suffering a day for our brothers and you crazed that were being expelled from the key of a big church. glover today is the law for that. for centuries in the keeper or the genuine and undistorted orthodox each in it's the, the head of the russian orthodox church breach. her 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 free speech creature tiriel as more shippers 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 thought it for me, christmas symbolizes unification. the unity of the family. we have relatives in ukraine and this holiday should unite us. yeah, go ahead. well, christmas is a free retail, something unusual and pleasant. we have come on trying to win ukraine and never said that is dear to us. it's terrible the doubt trying to destroyed the guard we submitted for 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 4 in 10 of the roads. ortho excretion sleeman, russia with orthodoxy being the 3rd largest branch of bershana it. and these friday meal lands of orth excretions in russia, a celebrating christmas, attending churches and cathedral throwed 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 referendum if they don't. yes, republic, city of margot poor, which so some of the thesis vassals 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 hello, fresh in defiance of the hostility, cecile rose slowly. there's just words of doing what 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. here i believe it, i wish paced all the residents. i want people to understand that family and good

health issue matters, not destruction. i think they will get through that and everything will be fine with 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 continued 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 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 breann 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

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. 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 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 canons off the tags. 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 interest. the piece 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 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 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 of the bullet, got stuck in his arm. no will of. we were returning to the village. we take 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 before the bike and went to gather traditional bonds tree. as we do every year he went to the road to take the pictures. and on the way back, like this car came, shot me in the houses and then sped away. hoarding from the situation remains tense . our protest is in southern cost of those say that road blocks will be maintained until the attack is brought to justice. they contribute cynically, your centers. this report early on friday, boys were turning from the woods, carrying the so called the biding for 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 takes escapes from the

crime scene. both boys are stable, one was wounded in his arm and other in his folder and they are running one and 11 years of age. course police came out saying that they have arrested him and goes to the both of him, but some sort of kept the call regarding this and they said that they will remain here until they are circling that 1st and all they. so 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, when they get the men justice and we are basically get the news from one minute, one other situation strange and every every, every 2nd basically and. ready one thing is certain that we are once again for some restless night regarding the situation in the course in the book. and that's all the information you can so far. then bob boy is taking action to limit the foreign

exploitation of its natural resources. the african countries government has suspended processing permits 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. them if comes after some local minors failed to declare their discoveries of 30 minerals than he restrictions are also aimed to providing more oversize on the activity of foreign mining operators in zimbabwe. the country has the largest lithium reserves in africa with the mets, will require the high tech production lines in many countries. and bob way earlier reported billions of dollars in loss is due to the illegal extraction of its lithium by multinational companies where from some leading local politicians about

the significance of the new restrictions. the country had 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 make about which low delay economy. and we can only do better 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 me know his sources that we have in our country. they've been a lotto fo only term exported the country. and as a country we've been if to lead to is much we every one of the biggest lee jump to posing the world benefits to did that federally. so we chima barto with this sir o policy to bind export over all exam. to encourage sherlow,

come punish to comradeship bishop, the crunchy. ah demonstrate. as i rallied outside the 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 marin's cancer, who holds a latvian passport, was detained by the country's 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 spook next parent company. almost bishop of grumbled 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, such as espionage or treason. and we've dealt with this before and we shouldn't rule out such dark perspectives. as of ob 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. morocco, sam did not violate any laws or did his job as a journalist. legally. he provided true and 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 and that will reach no, it's not the 1st time the journalist has been targeted by european authorities, mark has them recently described his detention in lithuania, back in 2019? he said, well, the british is 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 at villainous airport. i 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. i'm good. 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. cust 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 is always claim 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 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's and it's all 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, a sign 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. it can find the latest news updates on our website, t dot com. thank you for joining us here in the i choose choose ah,

the claims of the king of the belgians leopold the 2nd to the congo were finally authorized by the leading european countries in 1885. in the very heart of the african continent, a state under the rule of the belgian monarch was declared. since the beginning, the congo free state was total may him for the local population and functioned as a universal concentration camp. the majority of the population, including women and children, were forced to work on the rubber plantations. those who failed to fulfill their quota were beaten and mutilated. to keep the congolese people under control, the king set up the so called for spook leak, which were punitive detachments that cast terror on the captured country and its inhabitants. fearing that their subordinates would simply waste bullets hunting for wild animals, the officers demanded that the soldiers gave an answer for every bullet used. and

as proof presented a chop hand of an african. it was not uncommon when trying to justify the use of the ammunition, the colonist amputated the hands of not only those who were dead, but also of those who were kept alive. the atrocious exploitation of the congo turned into a real genocide in only 20 years. the policy of the belgians led to the death of nearly 10000000 people alongside the holocaust, that genocide of the congo population is considered to be one of the grimmest pages in the history of mankind. ah, with

this song is there? yes, he's a november 22nd 2022 count raised orthodox christians, confronted ukrainian security service officers, docking entrances and exits to peeves oldest monastery, looking for an alleged russian spies among the monks. and so i guess got premium all along with the de ukrainian security services can brand an agent of moscow. any mongol priest, unwilling to break relations with a russian orthodox church, dozens of ukrainian churches have been rated to form a reason for the brutal crackdown. one church, his parishioners had some a song about russia ah, to be

in numerous such as s b u offices reported they'd found orthodox magazines printed in russia. the s b. you didn't care that these publications were religious and had been printed more than 3 years before. oh maybe. but they were from moscow in ukraine. it's long been recently enough to condemn any orthodox christian attack in prison and even kill them with stale less walnuts. cromwell, grains kept by the grains going this good. nicola nodded, but i can't think he will mealy a year with school or slow what an ssl level and media space have to with nika portal. sco, pushy, i know, grow, did you ask a come on a couple of i was thinking if possible for you may hang up though, i mean, yeah.
