alleged russian spies among the monks shower bridge or more. on march 3, 2015, i was abducted by as b officers from the monastery, and it was kept here in the department and summer to 7th your gift customers. they tortured me for the 1st 3 days here. really are grounded nationalist battalions, use metal bars and fittings, and they began to be the orthodox, the clergy and one of the priests died from beatings. shenika alternate to joel w for his gun chelsea. so just nicola father, nikolai died from the beatings he received during defending the church in louis karima was a shit, they could armor and a subordinate in 2008 tens of thousands gathered in cave 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 al can keith 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 kids. suppression of the orthodox church just got plenty of other news stories from around the world, including the ones the mainstream media isn't telling you about and now it to africa, where in the, in the o. p. and town of lally bella christians are enjoying the local holiday fest for the for the 1st time in full years. the sensitivities were 1st put on pause due to close at 19 regulations and then deadly clashes between t grey rebels and the government prevented the festival from happening. here is the only african country that celebrates orthodox christmas. a 60 percent operation is of the church is what locals had to say about the event i want to

live. 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. i can tell you how happy i have been to this place before. it was like people living in the darkness. no thing such massive change words can explain how hey, pam me, while hundreds of orthodox pilgrims of flocks to bethlehem. the city where christians believe jesus christ was born on maria. if an ocean of follows in mother mary footsteps retracing her journey from nazareth, a report of today's political obstacles, some pilgrims face the city of nazareth. 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? and 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 state. 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 boulder 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 to last recently, almost daily, military rate by the railway army here have often turned violent casualties. among civilian population, the officials from the palestinian authority a 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. while another thought goes on, as i thought the jewels at m, i need a special ferment from those really occupation of me from the start of the phone. it is. and in order to do that, that sort of criterias that number apply to many palestinians. so it is a very limited access of the senior to vote and as it ought to jewels. and even if you get the permit, it's only full of humiliation full of obstacles, something he's a john at all. it makes me sad because after all, this is a holy land, we have 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 for chris. 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 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 settlements known as the car, which has a reputation of being home to the most extreme israeli settlers. they are at the full fraud 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 are that, 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 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 idea, i can visit and whenever, so i think that's my 1st time and it's so different from the news for trade. it's such a hot check and it's such a big mess. but it's, it's beautiful. everyone. so friendly and lovely and fast, but didn't totally get into the christmas spirit, but it's now getting, getting to me. i mean, 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 around and as i'm coming all year, so celebrates us morning. so we are so

happy christmas. here is the 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 situations and everyone is facing. so yeah, the words should take action for this terrible people. busy busy separated from the families policy and especially we are finally in bethlehem. if mother mary would make it here today, she would find the safety of 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 . nationality from bethlehem and merry christmas is ready. authorities have bounds dozens of christie and say live in garza from entering bethlehem to celebrate christmas. every israel increases a number of permits. it denies fighting security concerns. this is box anger among people who want to celebrate the holiday with their families. 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 obligations are under examination by these 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 its rhonda authorities to visit the holy sides in jerusalem. bethlehem the occupational courtis did not see palestinians as humans. therefore, both christians and muslims of forbidden provost in the holy sites. it's a denial of the best of human rights. israel on the relies on being extra parts against a weak one regarding the palestinian territories. it doesn't comply with any united nations mechanisms. it feels that it is above the law and immune from accountability, turkey, se, sum $70000000.00 tons of grain of be an exported from ukraine. since the international deal came into force in july. the initiative was supposed to illegal of levy 8, the global food crisis, especially for the countries was affected. but it appears some other nations have been reaping the benefits off he's africa, corresponding corolla, toddler, same already facing struggles with mazda sleigh slend, stroud, and resurgence of jihad his grooves. africa is now in the grip of

a leisure food crisis. the world food programs 2022 global report on food crisis estimate that close to a 193000000 people on the continent face achieved food in security. and that one in 5 go to bed hungry, where scaling up our operations in countries like somalia, kenya nigeria, and became a faster as well as many others to try and help as many people as we can. but the number of people going without food or 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 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 ports between august and december would dock in sub saharan africa practitioner. if you're 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 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 per cent than 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 black supports, thereby further reducing foot price is globally. but what is this solidarity if these lengths end up shipping to you countries? why if africa not pat, of the sold, quote, fully verity and the results 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 banks, usual payment procedures are no longer available to them. babs, in an effort to college, 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 than 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. he sat, let's send these grain to contra, 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 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 africans faints, 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, 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, plans. he's broke out between local police and protests. his own son today with tear gas use to dispense crowds. the activists are rallying against the government's newly proposed retirement plan. the ela vest, so se planning more protests in other french cities and towns later this month. some demonstrate to say they fear this year will be the more difficult you to frances involvement in the ukraine sa point position over 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 economy 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. also in france, the ministry of ecology has become the latest target of eco activists. the group spray painted facade orange, to denounce the french governments, perceived in action on climate change. that the damage was mine, as some of their other actions have reportedly put people's lives at risk, i think contributes to rachel marston tells us more therapy in union has long wanted to turbocharged it's 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 found to see 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. busy 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. face with frustration and disappointment, culture, 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 the marker who just scribble all over them during. ringback club 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, and germany's pottstown 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 tantrum meant that airplanes trying to land tied 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 was also 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 to this sins grappled with skyrocketing energy prices. these economics divides, we're defining a quote, livable future as one with no fossil fuel. jessica livable future doesn't include being able to afford a roof over your head or heating or reasonably priced food, or anything else that factors, availability, dependent cost of energy. ah, ah hm . nor does 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 when he, thanks for your company here. i'll naughty international this saturday. we're back at the top of the hour with the latest.

ah, to 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 offensive, very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk ah, with this sorry. yes. a
