orthodoxy and crane has a long history. for a crania nationalists, russia has nothing to do with ancient. they compare it to the golden horse, a orchestra. you name it, they say russia has nothing to do with the area of right in this regard, ukrainian, nationally, you like the ideological and spiritual successors of the polish lithuanian commonwealth, which in the 16th and 17th centuries, mercilessly persecuted the orthodox people, pressed them and uprooted orthodoxy. from ukrainian while in recent months, care security service has been waiting churches across the country. over lead time to moscow, the crackdown was initiated by the ukranian president who announced new measures seeking to bond religious institutions for their perceived connections with russia . he had stated goal is to maintain the spiritual independence of the nation. historian, alexys and coasts off again say the ukrainian government is persecuting the

traditional orthodox 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 see the origin of korean orthodox church dates back to the time of the collapse of the your ceasar. when an independent ukraine was being forward, back then, the cranium authority decided that it was absolutely necessary for a new independent state, have its own church. and then, what part of the clergy, who used to belong to the muscular patriarch, kate, created a schism informed the wrong schismatic. orthodox church of ukraine, but the attempt crenan authority to make the church the main one and transfer the law for 2 whole session. until today could not be crowned with success. the absolute majority of the orthodox community and refrain supported the church linked

to the moscow patriarchy because they considered it true, and did not want to change it. but when newly created one point, and only now using the circumstances of war time under the atmosphere of terror, persecution of everything russian ukrainian authority was repression of the orthodox church with the help power leavers. and trying to deprive him of any legitimacy as well as to force believers to go to the newly established church. they created the we are seeing an absolute dictate coersion and a lack of religious freedom. we do lawn care. crank down on the church. you can head over to our website for one about the latest documentaries hit the preview. lit up state orthodox churches are being shelled from ukrainian positions. a rocket was fired from ukraine,

and drone and groups killed her november 22nd 2022 outraged orthodox christians confronted ukrainian security service offices, docking entrances and exits the keys oldest monastery. they were looking for alleged russian spies among the monks. show a 3 to one more on march 3 2015. i was abducted by as be officers from the monastery and it was kept here in the department and sandwiches. 7, your gift guests. we only are. they tortured me for the 1st 3 days

. last, we've 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 ethiopian town of atlanta, bella christians are enjoying their local holiday festival for the 1st time in 4 years. the festivities were 1st put on pause due to cove at 19 regulations at that deadly clashes between t gray rebels and the government prevented the festival from happening is the only african country that celebrates orthodox christmas. and 60 percent of parishioners at the church is what locals had to say about the events. those i'm one of my bellows, the 2nd jerusalem i've met him. 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 audiences fantastic. i also used to bring a group of my friends, i my letter. i can tell you how happened. 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 or duncan. meanwhile, hundreds of orthodox pilgrims have flocked to bethlehem. the city where christians believe jesus christ was born. are these maria finacialow follows in mother mary's footsteps. retracing her journey from nazareth and reports on 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? 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 powers,

senior 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 and 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. we'll be going to be. it was rather easy for me time, 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. regarding 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 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 knew 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 at m, i need a special ferment from this really occupation army from they started. i thought 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 i 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 the holy land. we are angry towards the international community. in fact, we're seeing the international 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, the 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 outreach takes us. some of the roads would also be restricted opera habitate for him as a promise teen. in soon we approach one of the settlements. a was mentioned around nobliss, the center of di 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 full frontal of the settler movement, so called price tag policy, which calls for violent attacks against palestinians is a price to pay. in retaliation for actions against settlements within the west bank . ban navigator kept telling me go straight. but it looks like we are 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 checkpoints behind us we reach bethlehem. the atmosphere is in contrast to everything we so on the way. but the words aunt, as a person from bethlehem will have the green card. oh, it has a green passport. as

a green id i can visit visit whenever. so i think that's not my 1st time and it's so different. well how the news katrina is such a hot chick and it's such a big mess. but it's it's beautiful. everyone was 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 it would be great chance to be here once in a maybe in a lifetime. i don't know what comes around as i'm coming all year. so sounds great morning. so, so happy christmas here is this exciting, i think take a pinch so you might not know what it's like and so you actually have and i think you might have a completely different perspective it's, you're actually experience the signing of christmas holiday love and family. yeah. well, i think everyone knows about the senior situation that everyone is facing. so yeah,

that was to take action for this terrible people celebrate separated from that families policy and especially we are finally in bethlehem. a 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 . nationality from bethlehem and merry christmas israeli authorities have banned dozens of christians who live in garza from entering bethlehem to celebrate christmas every year. israel increases the number of permits

it denies is citing security concerns. this is paul sancho, 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 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 to go with us the best way out there to celebrate every year. at least $300.00 christians get a rejection from its rhonda authorities to visit the holy sites in jerusalem. bethlehem the occupation authorities if not see palace dance as humans. therefore, christians and muslims offer beaten prohibition. the whole is like it's a denial of the basic human rights. misery only relies on the actual haunted

against a weak one regarding the palestine in territory. and it doesn't comply with any united nations mechanism. it feels that it is above the law immune from accountability. i turkey, i say some 17000000 tons of grain have been exported from ukraine since the international deal came into 4th in july. the initiative was supposed to alleviate the global food crisis, especially for the countries was defected, both to the pe, some other nations have been reaping the benefits. as ortiz, africa correspond, and corolla topler explains already facing struggles with mazda flayson and stroud and resurgence of jihad. his groups, africa is now in the grip of a major food crisis. the world food programs 2022 global report on food crisis estimates that close to a 193000000 people on the continent face acute food insecurity. 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 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 partition. give sure you don't know who was the, 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 colonized rules once again, just like they did for decades and centuries. and the passion for the of simply deceives the developing countries once more and are still deceiving them. at this very moment, very short western powers down played the accusations, claiming that 47 percent of ukraine's grain was central 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 relaunch green shipments from ukraine black supports, thereby further reducing foot price is globally. but what is the solidarity of these lengths end up shipping to you countries? why is africa not part of the sole quote for leverits. as a result, muscle 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. well, as most of our banks have ties with european bunks, the usual payment procedures are no longer available to them. pull up, babs, in an effort to college or the impact of e u. sanctions i having on rising from crisis,

the block exempted russian weed and fertilizers from restriction. it even lifted sanctions on chemical and fertilizer companies under the guise that africa needs them. but must go, went further and donated food so vulnerable african countries, as well as fertilizers, say in put in, in my phone call with vladimir putin. he sat let send these grange 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 start. 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 issues. when president vladimir putin said that russia had made the donation to african faith to support in efforts the west responded in its usual manner. african societies continue to suffer

from russia's weapon, a zation of food and fertilizers, exports. plenty of other states, including south africa, have voice confers that human interior aid is being politicized with the threat of food being used to pressure countries to support ukraine. in the conflict. cannibalization 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, countries broke out 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 later this month. some demonstrate, as they fear their share will be even more difficult due to frances involvement in the ukraine conflicts. so point position over without taking any sites france has been put into an in direct conflict with the leading nuclear power called the world running less would like to know that ukraine is not even a native california for so do not understand why we are civil citizens need to suffer for action taken to help you frame up up, energy, food and economy suffering. and if we cannot accept little so we are here to establish a new balance of power between the people and the government without any intermediaries, justice, they have to take into consideration who we are for our conception of society and our social demands. there are threats to our future more precisely our retirement or when employment and sharon, even prices, which are increasing at an incredible speed quicker more cannot even pay our bills even by working more. it has become unbearable. and as of the ways you can always
