leverage and that no one will make ukrainian a stranger in the laurel. ukrainian independence must be strong in all its elements and it will be like that forever. it rains. the orthodox church, which is under oppression by the government, is strongly condemned to take over the key of monastery. this event will be a great shame for ukraine. this rating takes place directly by order of the highest representatives of power, local churches abroad will, to put it mildly, be surprised by the state of freedom of conscience and the right to practice religion in our country. in recent months, he had security service has been waiting churches across the country over alleged ties to moscow. the crackdown was initiated by ukrainian president flat him is the landscape who announced new measures seeking to ban religious institutions for that connections with russia. he have stated goal is to maintain the spiritual

independence off the nation. well for mo, on kits crank down on the church, you can head over to our website for one of our teeth, latest. ok, man trees. here's a preview for you. now. we do upstairs. orthodox. churches are being shelled from cramming positions. a rocket was fired from ukraine and drone and a group killed her november 22nd 2022 outraged orthodox christians confronted ukrainian security service officers,

docking entrances and exits the keys oldest monastery. they were looking for alleged russian spies among the monks. show or bridge were more on march 3 2015. i was abducted by as the officers from the monastery and it was kept here in the department and 7 to 7. your gifts, customers, they tortured me for the 1st 3 days and really a grounded nationalist battalions use metal bars and fittings and they began to be the orthodox, the clergy and one of the priest died from beatings. shanika pollution to rule the lawyer for his gun shall sit. so just think of my father. nikolai died from the beatings he received during defending the church. in louis karima was a shooty. could armando and a subordinate 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 keep, will be officially regarded as enemies of the ukrainian state who had to r t d dot r t dot com for the full documentary on caps. suppression of the orthodox church. plus we got plenty of other news stories from around the world, including the ones the mainstream media isn't telling you about and now to africa, we're in the e. p and town of lovely bella. christine's are enjoying their local holiday festival for the 1st time in 4 years. the facilities were 1st put on post code 19 regulations, and then deadly clashes between takeaway rebels and the government prevented the festival from happening therapy is the only african country that celebrates those robes. christmas as 60 percent of parishioners,

of the church is what locals had to say about the events like bella is the 2nd jerusalem. 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 on suspend tastic. i also used to bring a group of my friends to visit and i can tell you how happy i have been to this place before it was like people living in the darkness know things that massive change. words can explain how head pam may wall hundreds of orthodox pilgrims have flocked to bethlehem. the city where christians believe jesus christ was born all these movie a fin notion of follows in mother mary. so it's that retracing her journey from nazareth and report on today's political obstacles, some pilgrim space, the city of nazareth. so this is 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 cta, israel arab israelis, many of whom identify themselves as palestinian citizens of israel. for more than 20 percent of the country's population, but it would only be possible for mother mary 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 board right now and we'll have to go through the checkpoint. hi, how are you? yeah, good. what's the 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. shortly after the checkpoint, we are in the town of uni now in the northern part of the west bank. it has been in the news to last recently, almost daily, military rate by the railey army here have often turned violent 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 him in his drive from nazareth, but he cannot go there. well enough that all goes on as i thought the jewels at am i need a special feldman from the is really occupational of me 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 to the seniors to vote. and as it ought to utilize him, even if you get the permit, it's only full of humiliation full of obstacles and it's something he's a john 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 is happening 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 i stand. everybody is asking palestinians that people who are under occupation under opposition to be moderate and not to. i mean, it's

a wonderful affair. 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 trip takes us. some of the roads would also be restricted or prohibited for him as a philistine in soon we approach one of the settlements was 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 settlement known as the car, which has a reputation of being home to the most extreme israeli settlers. they are at the forefront tall. 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 checkpoints behind us. we reach bethlehem. the atmosphere is in contrast to everything we on the way, but the words and as a person from bethlehem, why the green car has a green passport as a green idea. i can visit gerry's that whenever. so i think that's my, it's my 1st time and it's so different. well, how the news trade is such a hot tick and it's such a big mess. but it's, it's beautiful. everyone. so friendly and let me out 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 great chance to be here once in a maybe in a lifetime, i don't know, but i'm coming all year.

so celebrate the morning. so. so happy christmas. here is this exciting. i think take a pinch so you might not know what it's like until you're actually here. and i think you might have a different perspective if you're actually experience how to sign a christmas holiday of love and family. yeah. well i think everyone knows about the senior situations and everyone is facing. so yeah, that was to take action for this terrible people started. busy busy separated from that families policy and especially we finally in bethlehem, his 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 with mother mary would not see here today, leaving him the nearby guys

a strip 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 there, i live in ocean r. c. from bethlehem, and merry christmas is rarely thorough at ease of bound, dozens of christians who live in garza from entering bethlehem to celebrate christmas every year. israel increases a number of permits it denies. so i think security concerns. this is log tango among people who want 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 applications are under examination bodies, really, 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 to celebrate every year. at least $200.00 christians get a rejection from raleigh authorities to visit the holy sites in jerusalem. bethlehem, the occupational heritage did not see palestinians as humans. therefore, both christians and muslims of forbidden from visiting the holy sites. it's a denial of the basic human rights. israel only relies on being extra parts against a week on regarding the palestine in territories. it doesn't comply with any united nations mechanisms, and it feels that it is above the law and immune from accountability. so care has reported that around 70000000 tons of grain have been exported via the ukraine grain deal corridors since it came into force in july. the initiative is supposed to soften the global food crisis, especially for the countries worst effected, but it appears that hasn't been the case. he's globally taught, love brings as the story already facing struggles with mazda se flayson. and stroud

and resurgence of jihad is grooves. 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 achieved food and security. and that one in 5 go to bed hungry, where scaling up our operations in countries lay. so malia kenya nigeria and became a fossa 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 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 things to the mediation by turkey and the united nations. a deal was struck between 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 what methods 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 ports between august and december would dock in sub saharan africa partition. if you are here, don't know who i see. almost all of the green exported from ukraine is being sent to the e. u. 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 deceives of 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 central asia, with 36 presents and 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 relaunch green shipments from ukraine black supports, thereby further reducing foot price is globally. but what is this solidarity if these lengths end up shipping to you countries? why is africa not part of the soul quote, fully verity. as a result muzzle ended up with grain and fertilizers. it couldn't even sell due to

e. u, an american sanction. so 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. babs in an effort to college, so the impact of e u. sanctions i having on rising from 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 fertilizer saying, put in, in my phone call with vladimir putin, his sat. let's send these grain to countries such as djibouti, 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 states to support its efforts. the wes responded in its usual manner. african societies continue to suffer from russia's weapon, a zation of food and fertilizers, exports. many of against fates, including south africa, have voiced, confers 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 out of, he enjoyed his book to france now, where the famous yellow vests protest movement is back on the streets of paris,

crying foul over the high costs of living. ah, plenty is for accounts between local police and protest is on saturday with tear gas used to disperse crowds. the activists are rallying against the government's newly proposed retirement plan. the ela vests are also planning more protests in other french cities and towns late this month. some demonstrate to say they fear this year, it will be even more difficult due to frances involvement in ukraine conflict. so, point pussy suvoda without taking any sites, france has been put into an in direct conflict with the leading nuclear power in the world. russia, i'd like to note that ukraine is not even a native country, so to not understand why we simple citizens need to suffer for actions taken to help ukraine up up, energy, food, and economies suffering. and we cannot accept that. we are here to establish

a new balance of power between the people and the government. without any intermediaries, they have to take into consideration who we are, our conception of society, and our social demands. there are threats to our future more precisely our retirement plans, unemployment insurance and prices which are increasing at an incredible speed. we cannot even pay our bills even by working more. it has become unbearable, was staying in france. the ministry of ecology has become the latest targets of eco activists. the group spray painted his facade orange to denounce the french governments, perceived inaction on climate change. that the damage to his mind as some of their other actions have a portly put people's lives at risk. as he contributes a rachel marston tells us more 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 while 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 prime time and they were desperate. so the blocks industrial engine, germany started firing back up coal 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, as 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 burning it face with frustration and disappointment, cultured and 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 a marker who 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 impressionist plod, monet's, lay mel on display in germany's potsdam barbara rainy 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 have been fund. i'm satisfied 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 town term meant that

airplanes 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 were to literally dig up the road in order to remove the activists from the pavement. there is also a just stock 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 citizens grappled with, skyrocketing energy prices. these economics device, we're defining a quote, livable future. as one with no fossil fuel gas, scott livable future doesn't include be able to afford a roof over your head or heating or reasonably priced food or anything else that factors in the availability dependent cost of energy. ha

ah, nor to such a livable future apparently include the ability to get to work to earn a living as politicians took as she with the protesters. disruption we recognize the right in the united kingdom under our democracy for peaceful protest. however, we are vehemently against protest 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 and 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. thanks. joining us here on our tea international, we're back with more in 30 minutes. the 1st at john kerry. ok. he speaks to

a professor on digital forensics and cybersecurity relates edition of the with blue. ah ah ah ah ah,
