thanks for joining us on this rather chilly saturday afternoon. my name is peter scotts bring the all the latest world news here on our c. m, our headquarters in the russian top. so thanks for joining us. the u. s. has announced it's new military aid package for ukraine with almost $4000000000.00. is largest military deliveries since the one you claim begun. the war in ukraine is at a critical point right now, and we have to do everything we can to help the ukrainians continue to resist russian aggression. today's announcement, the largest security assistance package in total value that we have committed so far reflects our enduring commitment to support ukraine. the pence again says the package will include 50 bradley, infantry fighting vehicles, $100.00 armored personnel car, just hundreds of anthea armor, rockets and more munition for high mas rocky systems. and that's just a fraction of the lethal aid washington set to send in. so,

so the u. s. has provided ukraine with almost $22000000000.00 in military assistance. sarah flounders, use the co director of the international action center as a spending means other sectors of the u. s. economy could be affected. republicans and democrats support military appropriation to they cannot reach an agreement on health care who months that never happened but on the military. but. ringback yes, military budget grows. they reach an agreement and it happens so fast that dupes without real debate, but it can mean devastating cut in education funding schools, housing infrastructure in the u. s, which is decaying rapidly, things like that they will do again and again. when meanwhile, the republican leader of the u. s. the house of representatives, kevin mccarthy, has proposed a code of $75000000000.00 to the defense budget. another proposal came shortly

before he was elected as the speaker of the house, and is believed by many so being a concession secure. his victory now comes amid divisions among g o. p. lawmakers, who for years have pushed for increases in military spending. sarah founders again says mccarthy has always voted in favor of boosting defense spending and change his tongues to become speaker. every year they make promises that they're going to cut military budget every year. and yet it doesn't happen. so it certainly will not happen under kevin mccarthy who has always voted for the defense budget and is a complete hypocrite, actually called in march of 2022. that widen was too soft when ukraine wasn't doing enough, should give more money, more weapons. that was what he said then. and it's not much different now, except that he is maneuvering, in order to become a speaker of the house. in

a while, washington prepares another aide package for ukraine cubes, using your supplied weapons to shell don bus as orthodox christmas begun ukraine. reportedly 5 dozens of nato supplies shells at the city of goal of co, wounding one. civilian ortiz, roman casa reports from the seen. this strike by ukraine military in this purely residential area, took place just before 2 am. that's the time when the local residents were returning from religious services attributed to russian orthodox christmas. take a look at where the strike took place. the woman was sleeping in her bed at that point, and she survived purely miraculously, mom. my mother lives with his address. she's alive, but the apartment is completely destroyed. mom isn't shock. i am was just thought i was sleeping at night. it made me jump. there were 3 strikes,

it was awful. everything trembled. of course, the apartment is already boarded up. this is this something that locals are used to doing home for the last 9 years as soon as the strike by ukrainian military takes place. once it's over, people start fixing their apartments right away. unfortunately it wants to get it's something that they've been used to over the last 9 years or among cost or a party girl of could then escrow public gives also twice shell. the dumbass city of mckee of care, and you can see the moment of that strike on christmas eve. here on the c t. v footage locals reported a defense systems activating to intercept the attack with no casualties. reports it was destroyed, caused supposedly having damaged one apartment building. also, unorthodox christmas eve, celebrated by both russians on ukrainians. key of security service agents rated multiple churches across the country. so in the pro ration materials were found the

same time ukraine officials claim to be impartial. waltz religious denominations and get more details on ukraine's attitude towards the church. in our documentary is a teaser looked up state orthodox churches are being shelled from cramming positions. a rocket was fired from ukraine and drone and a girl's killed her november 22nd 2022 outraged orthodox christians, confronting ukrainian security service officers, docking entrances and exits the keys oldest monastery. and we're looking for alleged russian spies among among

our 3 to one more on march to 32015 i was abducted by s b u officers from the monastery and it was kept here in the department and 7 to 7. your gift guests. they tortured me for the 1st 3 days and wielded nationalist battalions, use metal bars and fittings, and they began to be the orthodox. the clergy and one of the priest died from beating amore. your fullest gun shells. but just need to fall. the nikolai died from the beatings he received during defending the church in loose learning that was a shoot it in 2008 tens of thousands gathered in cave seymour to welcome the russian orthodox church hierarchy

. people challenging here and of course is in. he is those who welcome to moscow pantry, all can keep it will be efficiently regarded as enemies of the ukrainian state rule. you can head over to r t dot com. so you want the full document shown ukraine. suppression of the russian orthodox church and other breaking news from around the world. the rest of military personnel serving and ukraine have joined orthodox christmas celebrations . the festive service was organized for the service men and women with the russian m. o b, stressing the importance of holy festivals. the service was also attended by those mobilized back in the autumn have now completed their training. earlier the head of the russian orthodox church patriarch, curial, cold for unity urging to pray for russian of those believers who are being persecuted in ukraine. that was during his traditional address at the festive service in moscow's main cathedral.

oh, christmas instead of rated on the 7th of january in russia, in accordance with the old julian calendar of a 1000000 people have attended traditional midnight services throughout the country . which began in the late hours on friday and continued into this morning. meanwhile, hundreds of orthodox pilgrims have flocked to bethlehem the city, which of course, you know, christians believe jesus christ was born ortiz. maria fin option of follows in mother mary's footsteps. retracing her journey from nazareth reports on today's political obstacles that many pilgrims still face the city of nazareth, they says, where christians believe the annunciation happened. an angel appeared to mother mary some believe on the side of the church behind me, telling her she would give birth to the son of god. and it's from here that her journey to bethlehem started where jesus is believed to be born. what would that

150 kilometer journey look like today? what would the pregnant woman face on her way? we decided to take this trip and see with our own eyes. nazareth is the largest arab see teenager, l. arab israelis, many of whom identify themselves as palestinian citizens of israel, form more than 20 percent of the country's population. but it would only be possible for mother married to be here if she had an israeli id. or if not, she would have to go through a number of difficult procedures with israeli authorities to apply for permission to enter in stay. and she could still have been rejected. no one can know for sure which ruined mother married to 2000 years ago, but that would more likely be the shortest one which runs through what is today the occupied west bank. we are entering the border right now and we'll have to go through the checkpoint. hi, how are you?

yeah, good. what's going to be. it was rather easy for me. i'm a foreigner and a journalist, but it was mainly because we were traveling from israel to the west bank to go the other way around. is an almost impossible task for the west bank. 3000000 arab population guy up shortly after the checkpoint, we are in the town of genie. now in the northern part of the west bank, it has been in the news a lot recently, almost daily, military raised by the railway army here have often turned violent with casualties among civilian population. the officials from the palestinian authority say more than 50 children were killed since the beginning of the year alone. we meet a local watch outside janine near the little greek orthodox church, thought to be the 4th oldest church in the world. it is believed that mother mary made a short stop here on her way to bethlehem. i was leaves in the west bank, just 13 minutes drive from nazareth, but he cannot go there. well enough that all goes on as i thought the jewels and am

i need a special ferment from the occupation army from the start of the phone. it is. and in order to do that, that set of criteria is that number apply to many palestinians. so it is a very limited access of the seniors to vote and as it ought to utilize him, even if you get the permit for journey full of humiliation, full of obstacles and something. he's a junior at all. it makes me sad because after all, this is a holy land, we are angry towards the international community. in fact, we're seeing the international essay focusing on what everything that has happened and go all around the world. every single law that has been broken by the states, yet it is supported by the west. it is not even blamed by the way stand. everybody is asking palestinians that people who are under occupation under opposition to be more than it and not to, i mean, it's a world full of focus. we continue our journey to the south without. i was as a resident of the west bank, he's blocked from entering jerusalem,

where our tree takes us. some of the roads would also be restricted opera habit had for him as a philistine in soon we approach one of the settlements. a wad mentioned around nobliss, the center of d and samaria. the biblical name of the west bank that israel uses homes for around half a 1000000 israelis. we are now inside the settlements known as the car, which has a reputation of being home to the most extreme israeli settlers. they are at the full for on top of the subtler movement, so called price tag policy, which calls for violent attacks against palestinians is a price to pay in retaliation for actions. again, settlements within the west bank navigator. kept telling me go straight, but it looks like we did that and now we have to go back. the west bank barrier was billed by israel in the early 2,

thousands when we have left the wall and all the check points behind us. we reach bethlehem. the atmosphere is in contrast to everything we so on the way, but there warrants and as a person from bethlehem will have the green car. oh it has a green passport. as a green id i can visit whenever. so i think that's my 1st time and it's so different. well, how the news for trade is such a hot chick and it's such a big mess. but it's, it's beautiful. everyone. so friendly and fast but didn't totally get into the christmas spirit, but it's now getting, getting to me it is a special place and i thought with a great chance to be here once in a maybe in a lifetime, i don't know, but i come around and i'm coming all year. so sounds great morning. so we are so happy christmas here is this exciting. i think take

a pinch so you might not know what it's like. and so you're actually here and i think you might have a completely different perspective if you're actually experience the sign and that's the kind of christmas holiday of love and family. yeah. well i think everyone knows about the senior situation that everyone is facing. so yeah, that should take action to for this terrible people celebrate separated from that families policy and especially we are finally in bethlehem. if mother mary would make it here today, she would find the city richly decorated for christmas and full of celebrating crowds for the 1st time in 3 years. the town believe to be the birthplace of jesus, except christians from all over the globe. but mother, mary would not see here today, leaving him the nearby guys a trip or those living in the northern part of the occupied west bank. those who

are not permitted to enter bethlehem and left celebrating with tears in their eyes . there's no, no see from bethlehem and merry christmas. ms. railey authorities have bund, dozens of christians from the gaza strip, from entering bethlehem to celebrate christmas. now every year israel increases the number of permits. it denies science security concerns, and surprisingly, those spots on among people who sold to celebrate the holiday with their families. as we used to apply for permits and send our documents, including our photos and identity papers, through the church and deliver them to a civil affairs department. it confirms that our publications are under examination by the israeli authorities. and we will be informed whether our applications are accepted by israel or not. i sent my application about 3 weeks ago, and 2 weeks later i found out that my request was rejected every year. i hope that my application will be accepted. my wife and children have received permits, but i have not my kids always tell me, we hope you'll go with us to bethlehem and celebrate every year. at least $200.00

christians get a rejection from its rhonda authorities to visit the holy sides in jerusalem. bethlehem, the occupational heritage did not see palestine as humans, therefore, was christians and muslims of forbidden from visiting the holy site. it's a denial of the basic human rights. israel only realized on being a strong parted against a weak one regarding the punishing and territory. and it doesn't comply with any united nations mechanism. it feels that it is above the law and immune from accountability and moving on. now to key is reports that the wrong 17000000 sons of grain have been exported via ukraine grain deal, colorado since he came into force in july. the initiative is supposed to soften the global food crisis, especially for the countries worst effects by it. but it appears that hasn't been the case. she's corolla butler been just more in the story. already facing a struggle with mazda placements, trouts and resurgence of jihad and groove, africa is now in the grip of

a me gentle crisis. the world who program 2022 global report on food crisis estimate of those 293000000 people on the continent face acute food insecurity. and that one in 5 go to be hungry with scaling up our operations in countries like so. malia kenya nigeria, unforeseen of foster, as well as many others to try and help as many people as we can. but the number of people going without food and water is staggering. such as behind the food crisis, very from conflicts leading to miles displacement to climate shocks, including drugs and floods. acute food insecurity has by dramatically at the same time, rich western nations, including the united states. and it's in you, partner countries have turned their attention and deep wallets to ukraine at africa's expense. green shipments were also affected and able to depart the black sea due to this conflict. but thanks to the mediation by turkey and the united

nations, a deal was struck between russia and ukraine, allowing for shipments to review. the question has not been what is good for one side or the other. the focus has been on what method is most for the people of all worlds and let there be no doubt. this is an agreement for the wolves. but as it turns out, most of the 14000000 tons of grain was not delivered to the african continent. 11, just 11. out of the $615.00 ships that left ukrainian was between august and december would dock in sub saharan africa. but i did give you a hearing over was almost all of the green exported from ukraine is being sent to the e. you, instead of to the world's poorest developing countries, many european countries are now acting as colonizers once again, just like they did for decades and centuries in the past, for the of simply deceived the developing countries once more,

and are still deceiving them at this very moment western powers down played the accusations, claiming that 47 percent of ukraine's grain was sent to asia with 36 percent sent to europe and 17 percent to africa. and they also promised to buy more of ukraine's grain to reduce prices. since the inception of the solidarity lanes, more than 15000000 tons of ukrainian agriculture, goods, grain, oil, seeds, and related products have been exported by road rail and through black sea and the new pores. in addition, since august, the black sea green initiative has helped re launch grain shipments from ukraine's black seaports, thereby further reducing food prices globally. but what is this solidarity if these lanes end up shipping to you countries? why is africa not part of the soul quote, fully verity. as a result, moscow ended up with grain and fertilizers. it couldn't even sell due to you,

an american sanction to luxor, or as far as access to russian products is concerned. the african union members are facing swift related sanction problems. as most of our banks have ties with european bunks. usual payment procedures are no longer available to them. perhaps in an effort to college or the impact of e u sanctions i having on rising food prices, the block exempted russian weed and fertilizers from restrictions. it even lifted sanctions on chemical and fertilizer companies under the guise that africa needs them. but must go, went further and donated food to vulnerable african countries, as well as fertilizers, say in put in, in my phone call with vladimir putin. he sat let send these grain to countries such as to booty, somalia, and so done for free. and we agreed to mediate the situation and the world. today's really bad. unfortunately, africa has been starving and will continue to starve. we as a company,

have decided to supply fertilizer to africa for free as we are a part of a global supply chain which needs to produce food. when president vladimir putin said that russia had made the donation to african state to support its efforts. the wes responded in its usual manner. african societies continue to suffer from russia's weaponized ation of food and fertilizes exports. many other things, including south africa, have voice to confirm that humanitarian aid is being polluted. that with the threat of food being used to pressure countries to support ukraine in the conflict. global is that for out of he enjoys over and over to zimbabwe now, which is taking action to limits foreign exploitation of its natural resources. the african countries government has suspended the processing of permits for the extraction of strategically important minerals. it as dos become necessary,

does in our initial interest, who would temporarily stop accepting and persistent applications for mining licenses for deflated minerals, 24 hour. notice des moines, copper, lithium, nickel, and rich. it's minerals. the above narratives are to go into effect immediately, or the move comes after some local minus failed to declare the discoveries of certain minerals. the restrictions are also aimed at providing more oversights on the activity of foreign mining operators in the country. zimbabwe holds the largest lithium reserves in africa with the metal in strong demand for high tech production lines in many other countries. zimbabwe earlier reports of billions of dollars in losses to city, illegal extraction of its lithium alysia, which is also known as white. gold is a vital component in batteries. is price has shuttled by 1100 percent in the past 2 years alone. and it doesn't look like demand will stop there is projects to rise.

750 percent by 2030. with a we're looking to shift to clean energy, many countries will be seeking to secure supplies of that metal. as in bob way, is the world's 6 largest lithium exporter with the government, hoping to meet one 5th of the world's total demand when it's fully developed, its lithium mining capacity. earlier, we heard from some local politicians on the significance of the new restrictions. the countries been losing billions of dollars an export of lithium, which is on very high demand globally because lithium is used for electric batteries, solar but trees smart for that such a truck. and i think that was a very positive and 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 we makes about where to learn to le 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 be trading with other countries that we know is sources that we

have in our country. they've been a lot of for all the time, the export of the country and as a country we have benefited little 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 policy to buy an export over only camp to encourage shadow companies to come and sit best in the country. ah. and finally, amid the rising power of multi national corporations, india is fighting to break free from the grip of pesticide, angiano companies, option buttons. he speaks to environmentalists, dr. vandana shiva on this week's going underground. i can watch the full program as always on our website, but here's a quick teaser. the soils are being destroyed every single day across the global south. how exactly do you tie up this incredible

network of you and agencies the world you know, make for me, i'm f, e u, multinational corporations. all these different interconnected elements are somehow connected to that. so such a basic thing on life, on earth, the soil, the process of making nitrogen fertilizers to blending fossil fuels at high temperature to fix atmospheric nitrogen is the same process that me explosives. when you apply ammonium nitrate to the soil urea to the saw it all living organism, the soil back, sorry is living is fungi. bacteria, it is what create the facility and create life in the side. this toxic substance starts to kill life. and so, so increase, there's a one kilogram of nitrogen per july. so uses 2 meters of diesel mix carbon dioxide plus nitrous oxide, which is $300.00 times more damaging to the climate than carbon dioxide. and then you have time to change that makes it worse and the side, those,

the vicious cycle of the certification of this. interestingly, my research a bad time. sure that the same crop come to me did chemically use this 10 times more water than the crop contradicted organically. so now i'm just not the scale element on the, on the planet. want to reach a more on any of those stories as well as all the latest updates from around the world are web sites all t dot com is your place to go. one is peter scott on the back with another one down . all the latest news interest over having with ah,

with the discovery of the new world at the end of the 15th century, there appeared atlantic slave trade. the slave traders from european countries started building forth on the western coast of the african continent to transport the african inhabitants to america, to be forced into hard labor. until the middle of the 17th century. portugal had played the main role in this atrocious business. then great britain, france and the netherlands took the leadership for the span of 400 years of legal and illegal slave trade. about 17000000 people were forcefully shipped across the atlantic. not including those who died on the way due to unbearable living conditions. modern historians estimate that for each slave ship to america, there were 5 who died while captured during transportation,

and cruel obliteration of rebellion. this ruthless people tre practice by the leading european countries, took away tens of millions of african lives. the organisation of united nations classified the trans atlantic slave trade as one of the gravest human rights abuses in the history of humanity. this is the biggest act of deportation of people ever seen by mankind. ah, ah, ah, i'm actually retents in welcome back to going underground tens of millions face

death this winter because they don't have enough to eat. nato nation media blames russia for making the year on yeast. av ation. in the global south. worse, while massive corporations and western oligarchs promote the use of money making technology to solve the most basic problems facing humanity. interconnected with climate change, i guess today is a world renowned environmentalist attacked in nature nations. the new yorker called her a demagogue, but who has risked her life to educate the world about the malign power of late capitalism. she is the author of 20 books, including a latest terah, viva. my life in a bio diversity of movement and a journey from atomic scientists to fearless fight of natural seeds is chronicled in the new film, the seeds of under the shiva. ah, food is of it. when you sell real weapons to control or when you can.
