a shoot it in 2008 tens of thousands gathered in cave. the more to welcome the russian orthodox church hierarchy, the people challenging here, i don't know, of course it in a few short. he is those who welcome to moscow pantry all can key, will be efficiently regarded as enemies of the ukrainian state rule or go to r t dot com to watch the full documentary on ukraine's cart down of the russian orthodox church on the breaking news from around the world we shouldn't minister personnel taking part in the operation in ukraine have also joined the orthodox christmas celebrations. the festive service was organized for the service men and women with the russian m. o. d, emphasizing the importance of holy festivals. the service was also attended by those mobilized back in the autumn. you have now completed the military training

earlier the head of the russian orthodox church, patriarch, serial. total unity urging to pray for russian orthodox believers who have been persecuted in ukraine. that was during his traditional address at the festive service in moscow's main neutral ah, our christmas is celebrated on the 7th of january in russia, in accordance with the old julian calendar of a 1000000 people reportedly attended traditional midnight's services throughout the country. which began in the late hours on friday and continued into this morning and also africa, where the ethiopian town of labella christians are enjoying their local holiday festival for the 1st time in 4 years. beginning with cove it on followed by deadly cautious between t gerbils and the government residents can finally enjoy themselves while his, while some locals had to say about the facilities. hello am i to live?

bella is the 2nd jerusalem, and this is not my 1st time. i've come here for 2 or 3 times to visit. this is the 2nd jerusalem for me, the army answers fantastic. and i also used to bring a group of my friends to visit. i'm a member. i can tell you how happy an i have been to this place before. it was like people living in the darkness. no, seeing such massive change. words can explain how head pan us has announced a miniature aid package for ukraine, with almost $4000000000.00 this largest miniature delivery since the war ukraine 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 against the

package will include 50 bradley, infantry fighting vehicles, 100 armored personnel carriers, hundreds of anti. i'm a rockets on more munition for those high mos rocket systems. and that's just a fraction of the legal aid washington set to send in so, so the u. s. has provided ukraine with almost $22000000000.00 in military assistance. sarah flanders, co director of the international action center. so the spending means other sectors of the u. s, economy could be effective. republicans and democrats support military appropriation to they cannot reach an agreement on health care months that never happens. but on the military budget. ringback yes, military budget grows. they reach an agreement and it happens so fast that dudes 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 will. meanwhile, the republican leader of the us house of representatives, kevin mccarthy, has proposed a code of $75000000000.00 to the defense budgets. the proposal came shortly before he was elected as the speak of the house, and many believe that that could have been to secure a concession and gets his victory as the mid divisions among gate g o. p. lawmakers who for years have pushed for increases in military spending. was there a found this again says the mccarthy has always voted in favor of boosting defense spending and change his tongues in just 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. the fighting was too

soft. ukraine wasn't doing enough should give more money, more weapons. that was what he said them, and it's not much different now except that he is maneuvering in order to become the speaker of the house. so kia has reported that around 17000000 tons of grain have been exported by the ukraine green deal cargo since it came into force in july. now the initiative is supposed to soften the global few crisis, especially for the countries worst affected by it. but it appears that this hasn't always been the case art trouble. it's outlet brings us more in the story. already facing struggles with mazda sleigh slend, stroud and resurgence of jihadist groups. africa is now in the grip of a major food crisis. the world food programs 2022 global report on food crisis. estimate the close to a 193000000 people on the continent face i chewed food insecurity and then one in 5

go to bed hungry, where scaling up our operations in countries lay, so malia kenya nigeria and became faster 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. factors behind the food crisis, very, from conflicts leading to miles displacement to climate shocks including drugs and floods. acute food insecurity has by dramatically other themes, i am rich western nations including the united states. and it's a new partner. countries have turned their attention and deep wallace to ukraine at africa's expense. green shipments were also affected and able to depart the black sea due to this conflict, but things to the me, the asian by turkey and the united nations. a deal was struck, which in russia and ukraine, allowing for shipments to resume. the question has not been what is good for one

side or the other. the focus has been on north america 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 partition if you're 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. the of simply deceives the developing countries once more, and are still deceiving them at this very moment. western powers downplayed 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 crisis. 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 relaunch green shipments from ukraine's black seaports, thereby further reducing foot price is globally. but what is the solidarity of these lengths end up shipping to you countries? why if 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, the usual payment procedures are no longer available to them. babs in an effort to college, so 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 though. but must go, went further and donated food to vulnerable african countries, as well as fertilizers, saying, put in, in my phone call with vladimir putin. he sat let sent 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 foods, it said that russia had made that donation to african states to support its efforts

. the west responded in its usual manner. african societies continue to suffer from russia's weapon, ization, of food and fertilizers, exports. many of against faith's, including south africa, have voiced the concern that humanitarian aid is being politicized. with the threat of food being used to pressure countries to support ukraine in the conflict. global is that for oddity in johannesburg, well stain in africa, zimbabwe is taking action to limit foreign exploitation of its natural resources. the african countries governments has suspended the processing of permits for the extraction of strategically important minerals. it was, does become necessary, does in our initials interest would temporarily stop us, stepped in and persistent applications for mining licenses for deflated minerals.

auntie for the notice. dow mourns copper, lithium, nico, and red minerals the above derek, use to go into effect immediately. the move comes out to some local minors failed to declare the discoveries of certain minerals. the restrictions are also aimed at providing more oversights on foreign mining operators in zimbabwe. the country holds the largest lithium reserve in africa with the muscle in strong demand for high tech components. zimbabwe earlier reported billions of dollars in losses due to the illegal extraction of its lithium lithium, which is also known as white. gold is a valuable components of electronic batteries. its price has shut off by 1100 percent in the past 2 years alone. and it will stop there with demand projected to rise. 750 percent by 2030. and with the world looking to shift to clean energy, many countries will be seeking secure supplies. of the metal. symbolic 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 fully developed mining capacity, we heard from some local politicians on the significance of those 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 batteries, fuller, but trees smart for that such a truck. and i think that was a very positive and noble move that was made, but the government was about which because we're at a stage where we are supposed to be a story that we makes about which learn to like on a me. 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. let me know is those that we have in our country. they've been a lotto for all the time expert in the country and as a country we have benefited little is my true every one of the biggest that lead

them to pause in the world benefitted to federally. so we came about with this policy to buy an export over only can to encourage her companies to come and sit a bit in the country. ah, the friendship ministry of ecology has become the latest targets of eco activists. campaign has spray painted the facade with orange to denounce the french governments, perceived in action on climate change. and while the arts of vandalism only had one impact some nets, if it's the activists, other actions are reportedly put people's lives at risk, also contributed rachel moss and gives us her take therapy in union has long wanted to turbocharged its green energy agenda. 2022 was a year, they realized that their tank was on empty because, well, they sanctioned their own gas supply from russia. so after years of banging on about the fantasy of fueling the european industrial economy by praying for solar

powered, sunny days and sufficient when to turn landscape destroying windmills. europe realize this year that that plan is far from ready for primetime and they were desperate. so the blocks industrial engine, germany started firing back up cold plants, france scramble to blow the rust off of its decommissioned nuclear power plants, both casualties of the blocks, green energy obsession, newly appointed prime minister of britain. re she soon arc preached to the climate change. faithful ahead of the to cop 27 climate summit, he said he was going to turn the u k, into a green energy superpower. but apparently he didn't get the memo that britain was on the verge of opening its 1st coal mine in decades, or that coal was so badly needed in the e. u. s. people faced exploding energy costs due to the use own anti russian sanctions. that citizens and poland were trying to dig around in their own gardens,

in the hope of striking pool, which is illegal by the way. so desperate times mean desperate measures. the european union simply reclassified gas and nuclear energy as green power. tossing environmental activists overboard to face the icy waters of pragmatic reality. elsewhere in australia, leaks, documents blew the lid off the scam of so called clean coal, suggesting that it was little more than a ruse to justify selling it at a higher price, which the customer can then ostensibly recoup by claiming lower carbon taxes for bern. faced with frustration and disappointment, cultured an intellectually sophisticated environmental activists of the lead stay generation or last generation took matters into their own hands by running around europe and physically attacking priceless works of art,

which obviously weren't just exposed in such a way that any toddler with the marker here just scribble all over them. during the call, 27 summit in egypt, these activists glued their own hands to john constables. the hey wayne. in london's national gallery. then they tossed mashed potatoes at french impressionists. flood monet's, lay mud on display in germany's pottstown, barbara. any museum when caught, they were told to crouch, with their hands pressed against the wall below the masterpiece. now in both cases, perhaps they should have just been left there with their hands stuck and made a permanent part of the exhibit. that would've been fun, unsatisfied with the impact of their efforts on actual environmental policy. they then took to super glueing themselves to the tarmac at munich airport. now this tantrum meant that aeroplanes trying to land had to blow through even more earth killing fuel as they were forced to circle around above while trying to figure out

where to land until they could ultimately be routed. meanwhile, down below police work to literally dig up the road in order to remove the activists from the pavement. there is also a just stop oil movement that took center stage this year with a message for government to stock. all new exploration development and production of british fossil fuels as british to this sins grappled with skyrocketing energy prices. these economics divides, we're defining a quote, livable future, as one with no fossil fuel gas. scott livable future doesn't include being able to afford a roof over your head or heating or reasonably priced food, or anything else. the factors, availability, dependent cost of energy ha ah ah, nor to such

a livable feature apparently include the ability to get to work to earn a living as politicians took as she with the protesters. disruption we recognized the right in the united kingdom under our democracy for peaceful protest. however, we are vehemently against protests that include wilful vandalism. the disruption of individuals attempting to earn a lawful living. the blocking of roads that impedes parents from taking their children to hospital for life. saving appointments in the utterly selfish act of depriving a son attending his own father's funeral. by stopping the flow of traffic on the nation's highways with the har realities of the european energy crisis coming up against opponents like these mother, earth could be waiting an awfully long time for some truly capable white knights to come to her rescue. ll, amid the rising power of multinational corporations india's fighting to break free from the grip of pesticide angiano companies or she returns east speaks to environmentalist, dots her vandana shiva. on this week's going underground,

you can watch the program as always on our website r t dot com is his quick teaser destroyed every single day across the global south. how. how exactly do you tie up? this incredible network of you and agencies will begin to make for the i, m, f, e, you 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 through burning 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 organisms are saw in that song is living is fungi, bacteria, it is what creates the fertility and create life in the side. this toxic

substance starts to kill life in the saw it. so increase deserts, one kilogram of nitrogen per july. so uses 2 meters of diesel. it emits carbon dioxide plus nitrous of sex, 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 does the vicious cycle of the certification of this. interestingly, my research a bad time showed that the same crop come to me did chemically use this 10 times more water than the crop contradicted organic key. so land is not the scarce element on the left on the planet. water is hm. well, that's all for now. whatever you all to this weekend, i hope you're having a great one on pizza. scott will be back again in around 30 minutes time. but do stay tuned for more grade programs grill next or not? ah,

with 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 nationally, i'm going to resist. i'll see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk ah

ah ah. in 1884, the german empire began its colonial invasion into namibia. from the very start. berlin encouraged the white colonists to settle in south west africa and take away the best land from the local drives. the germans were actively draining natural resources and using the local population as a cheap labor source. this was causing major protests and led to

a rebellion. in 19 o 4, the hero and nama tribes rebelled against german colonial rule. kaiser wilhelm the 2nd was fully determined and ordered to suppress the rebellion with the utmost severity. against the inhabitants of nam may be a germany through is 15000 well equipped army all around the country concentration camps were built in humane medical experiments over citizens were conducted within the period of 4 years. the germans killed up to 60000 people, among which there were 80 percent of the hero tribe, and 50 percent of the nama tribe. the events in south west africa are called the 1st genocide of the 20th century, and not without reason are compared to the holocaust just 2 decades later after the massacre in nam may be a hitler's assault unit boat on the same brown colonial uniform which push the

world into the chasm of the 2nd world war long when else seemed wrong, when i'll prove just a world yet to shape out the same becomes the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will to part, we choose to look for common ground. ah, [000:00:00;00]

a do you live? most schools, if you look on the initial, the 1 o'clock, not to get a can use the what by you when you do day or 2. but you also the, with the dawn a what i see the steam, the bus is now broke. you lation says diesel, you don't, bob. ah ah,
