winnable. it's very important that a sincere prayer for ukraine was today and will continue to be heard and malagra. they will do that. no one will make ukrainian a stranger in the laurel is, i wish you pray and independence must be strong in all its elements and it will be like that. but forever. the spirit ukraine's orthodox church, which is on the oppression by the government, has strongly condemned the takeover of the key as monastery. it also said the christmas serve is conducted by the new church. leadership is a great shame for ukraine. historian alexi silicosis, explain the background of the religious dispute in the country. i told her, i want to remind you of the key of club rower, one of the most important shrines of orthodox was founded in the 11th century for orthodox people all over the world. this is one of the most important shrines for naturally, this issue is extremely sensitive for many in ukraine and russia. and i also want

to remind you of the persecution of the orthodoxy and ukraine has a long history of ukrainian nationalist. russia has nothing to do with the ancient roofs. they compare it to the golden horse or to the you name it. they say russia has nothing to do with the era of suck in this regard. ukrainian nationalism if you like the ideological and spiritual successor of the polish lenient commonwealth, which in the 16th and 17th century as mercilessly persecuted the orthodox people oppressed them and uprooted orthodoxy from ukrainian lands. also for ukrainian nationalist politics is above all, for them who are spiritual nuances do not matter. the most important thing for them to deprive moscow any support for its influence. they want to cut off those religious ties that exist between the land of southwestern roost, which is modern ukraine and the lines of moscow,

the russian. and for the sake of politics, they are ready to sacrifice anything, including the orthodox faith and any other value. they want to do everything to make sure there is nothing russia on their land. in recent months, care of security service has been rating churches across the country, over alleged ties to moscow, the chromosome was initiated by ukrainian president vladimir lensky, who announced new measures seeking to band religious institutions. that connections with russia, kansas stated goal is to maintain the spiritual independence of the nation. like face and coast of against the ukrainian government is persecuting the traditional over dogs church and forcing people to worship on the key of control. if the history of the current conflict between the separatist o c u, the orthodox church of ukraine, and the canonical you will see the original korean orthodox church dates back to

the time of the collapse of the use ceasar. when an independent ukraine was being formed in the back then, the cranium authority is decided that it was absolutely necessary for a new independent state to have its own church. and then, part of the clergy who used to belong to the moscow patriarch age, created a schism, and formed their own schismatic orthodox church of ukraine. but the attempt, somebody ukrainian authorities to make this church the main one and transfer the law ra towards possession until today could not be crowned with success. the absolute majority of the orthodox community and crane supported the church linked to the moscow patriarch kate because they considered it true and did not want to change it when you really created one point. and only now using the circumstances of war time under the atmosphere of terror, persecution, of everything russian ukrainian authority,

repression of the orthodox church was the help of power leavers. and trying to deprive it of any legitimacy, as well as to force believers to go to the newly established church they created. we are seeing an absolute dictate coersion and a lack of religious freedom. we do offer more on kids, cracked down on the church. you can head over to our website for one of us. he's late. he's documentaries. hey, the preview leaders upstairs. orthodox churches are being shelled from the crime in positions. a rocket was fired from ukraine and drone and a group killed her november

22nd 2022 outraged orthodox christians, confronting ukrainian security service officers, docking entrances and exits the keys oldest monastery. they were looking for alleged russian spies among the lungs. are very 2 or more on march 3, 2015 i was abducted by as 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 really as an added nationalist battalions use metal bars and fittings and they began to be the orthodox, the clergy and one of the priest died from beating general lawyer for his gun shall sit. but just think of father nikolai died from the beatings he received

during defending the church in louis marina was a shoot it in 2008 tens of thousands gathered in cave. the more to welcome the russian orthodox church hierarchy. the people challenging here down to of course, within a few soon he is those who welcome to moscow pantry all can keep it will be efficiently regarded as enemies of the ukrainian state rule. had to r t d dot r t dot com for the full documentary on campus suppression of the orthodox church. so we got plenty of other new stories move around the world, including the ones the mainstream media isn't cutting you about and now to africa where the therapy and town of lally bella christians are enjoying the local holiday festival for the 1st time in 4 years. the facilities were 1st put on pause due to

kobe 19 regulations that the classes between take away rebels and the government prevents the festival from happening. if the is the only african country that celebrate tools, ropes, christmas is 60 percent off of the church. here's what locals had to say about the event. bella is the 2nd. 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 ta 6. 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 such massive change. words can explain how head, pam wall, hundreds of orthodox pilgrims of flocks to bethlehem. the city where christians believe jesus christ was born. he's marie if an ocean of follows in mother mary's footsteps. retracing her journey from nazareth reports on today's political obstacles, some pilgrim 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 faced 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 mary took 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 was be 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 the 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 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. well enough that all goes on as i thought the jewels and i need a special feldman from this riley occupation i me from they started the photocopies . and in order to do that, that on a set of criteria is that number apply to so many palestinians. so it is a very limited access to the seniors to vote and as it ought to jewels. and even if you get the permit for journey full of humiliation, full of obstacles and something, he's a john at all. it makes me sad because after all, this is the holy land. we're angry towards the international command van fact we're seeing the international 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 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 habitate for him as a philistine in soon we approach one of the settlements of 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 settlement known as the car, which has a reputation of being home to the most extreme israeli settlers. they are at the forefront toward the settler movement, so called price tag policy, which calls for violent attacks against palestinians is the price to pay in

retaliation for actions. again, settlements within the west bank. the navigator kept telling me, go straight. but it looks like we had the data 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 saw on the way, but the words aunt as a person from bethlehem, the green car. oh it has a green passport. it was as green. i did. i can visit that whenever. so i think that's not fair. it's my 1st time signing it. it's so different. the news katrina is such a hot chicken and it's such a big mess. but it's it's beautiful. everyone was so friendly and lovely, 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 it was

a great chance to be here once in a maybe in the lifetime. i don't know what comes around then as i'm coming a so, so great morning. so we are so happy christmas, here is the exciting, i think take of attention so you might not know what it's like. and so you actually have, and i think you might have a completely different perspective if you're actually experience the science kind of christmas holiday of love and family. yeah. well i think everyone knows the budget for the senior situations and that everyone is facing. so yeah, that was to take action for this terrible people that. busy separated from the families policy and especially we finally in bethlehem. if mother mary would make it here today, she would find the say to reach the decorated for christmas and full of celebrating

crowds for the 1st time in 3 years. the town believe to be the birthplace of jesus, accept christians from all over the globe. but mother, mary would not see here today, leaving him the new 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 israeli authorities are bound dozens of christ students who live in garza from entering bethlehem to celebrate christmas, every israel increases the number of permits it denies it. so i think security concerns this house box hunger among people who want to celebrate the holiday with families. as we used to apply for permits and send our documents, including our photos and identity members to 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, 2 weeks later and found out that my request was rejected every year. i hope that my application will be accepted. my wife and children have received permission, but i have not my kids always tell me. we hope you go with us. the best way over there to celebrate every year. at least a 100 christians get a rejection from its rhonda authorities to visit the holy sites in jerusalem. bethlehem the occupational court is not c t s as humans and therefore christians and muslims offer bidding for the whole is like it's a denial of human rights. israel only rely on being a strong heart against a weak one regarding the punishing and territory, and it doesn't comply with any united nation smack and he's playing, it feels dots. it is above the law and immune from me to come to be that turkey. i say some 17000000 tons of grain, happy and exported from ukraine since the international deal came into force in july. the initiative was supposed to alleviate the global food crisis,

especially for the countries worst effects in, but it appears some other nations have been reaping the benefits as asked. he's africa correspondent, corolla toddler, explains already facing struggles with mazda displacement strout and resurgence of g. i'd as groups, africa is now in the grip of a major food crisis. the world food programs 2022 global report on food crisis estimate that close to a 193000000 people on the continent face achievement, food and security. and that one in 5 go to bed hungry, where scaling up our operations in countries lay 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 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 ever themes. i am 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 me, the asian 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'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. for, for the simply deceives the developing countries once more and are still deceiving them. at this very moment, western powers found played the accusations, claiming that 47 percent of ukraine's grain was central asia, with 36 percent 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 de new pores. in addition, since august, the black sea green initiative has helped to relaunch grain shipments from ukraine's biloxi ports,

thereby further reducing foot price is globally. but what is the solidarity if these lengths 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 fell due to e u. 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. well, 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, the impact of e u sanctions. i heavy 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, 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 storming 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 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 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.

cannibalization, thought he enjoyed his foot. ah, 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, clench his work out between local police and protest his own son today with tear gas used to disperse crowds, the activists are rallying against the government newly proposed to retirement plan . they get a vast, so also planning more protests, another french cities and towns late. this month and demonstrate to say they feared this year will be even more difficult due to frances involvement in the ukraine conflict. so point pussy suvoda without taking any signs and france has been put into an in direct conflict with the lead in nuclear power in the world. russia. i'd like to note that ukraine is not even a native country me,

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. so we're 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 given by working more. it has become unbearable. many thanks joining us. they were naughty, international went back to the top of our with oh,

a ah, i mentioned urgency and 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
