before. it was like people living in the darkness. you know, things that message changed. words can explain how, hey pam. meanwhile, hundreds of orthodox pilgrims have flocks to bethlehem. the city where christians believe jesus christ was born. maria financial follows in mother marys footsteps. retracing her journey from nazareth and reports on today's political obstacles. some pilgrims face the city of nazareth, so they says, 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 tree 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 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. what's 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 almost impossible task for the west bank 3000000 arab

population. regarding up 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. the last recently, almost daily military raised by the railey army here had 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 these here 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 as 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 ferment from the really occupation army from the start of the phone. it is. and in order to do that, that sense of criterias that number apply to many philistines, so it is

a very limited access of the seniors to vote. and as it ought to utilize him, even if you get the permit. it says on the front of humiliation for the obstacles and something these engine 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 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 it 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 progress. 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 opera habitate for him as a from a stain in soon we approach one of the settlements. a 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 tall. the subtler movements, 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 goes 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 checkpoints behind us, we reach bethlehem. the atmosphere is in contrast to everything we so on the way,

but the wards aren't as the person from bethlehem. why the green car has the green passport as green. i did. i can visit there. is that whenever so i think that's my 1st time and it's so different. the news for 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 it was a great chance to be here once in a maybe in the lifetime. i don't know, but i'm around i'm coming all year. so some great morning so so happy christmas here is that exciting. i think take the 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 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 the budget for the senior situations and everyone is facing. so yeah, that should take action for this terrible people. busy celebrate. busy separated from the families policy and especially we are finally in bethlehem, a mother mary would make it here today. she would find the say to reach, need 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 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 their eyes . there's no, no see from bethlehem and merry christmas israeli authorities have been 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 is a small tonga 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 obligations are under examination by the israeli 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 permission, but i have not my kids always tell me we hope to go with us to bethlehem and celebrate every year at least 100 christians get a rejection from its rhonda authorities to visit the holy sites in jerusalem. bethlehem, the occupational is not c policy and as humans, therefore christians and muslims offer bidding from the site. it's

a denial of the basic human rights israel on the rely on being extremely hot against a week on, regarding the palestine in territory. and it doesn't come with any united nations mechanism. it feels that it is above the law and immune from me to come to see 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 our teeth, africa, corresponding corolla, toddler explains already facing struggles with mazda se flayson and stroud, an 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 phase. i chewed food in 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 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 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 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 colonized once again, just like they did for decades and centuries. and the passion for the 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 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 to relaunch green shipments from ukraine's black supports, thereby further reducing foot price is globally. but what is the solidarity of these lanes 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 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. pull up, babs,

in an effort to college, 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 to vulnerable african countries, as well as fertilizers, say in put in, in my phone call with vladimir putin. he sat let send these grain to countries such as to booty, somalia, and to don 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 the

efforts the west responded in its usual manner. african societies continue to suffer from russia's weapon is ation of food and fertilizers exports. many other states, including south africa, have voiced the concern that human korean 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, plans is broke out between local police and protested on saturday with t against used to dispense crowds. the activists are rallying against the
