sounds from them, but from hostilities in russia where the cranium, people are loved and respected. as regards my country to we consider all of us as our war with russia for survival, for the future about country, our children, and our identity. this is a war which was also the case 8 years ago. was ma'am, in which a treacherous and powerful enemies in fault who wants to take over our land and subjugate ours and the rest of phobia, the appeals to dismember. oh country, the german tanks. once again, going to kill russians like goals to put red stars on the weapons of those who do not want to give up on the russian identity. only strength of this impression and this is the plan i came into implement tension, not now, but already in 2014. we're on our borders. we had a regime which was hostile to us and it was being strengthened and ukraine in all of this is nothing more than just upon. and since that is the case, well,

you will understand very well and i'm looking for solutions out of the situation. so follow up with most negative consequences for the human kind as a whole. and the case of direct confrontation between russia in night in nature, needs to be conducted not between russia and ukraine, but between the roster and the collective west. first and foremost, washington washington, which is behind the key of regimes and we already are for a search for serious and long term diplomatic solution. we have stated this on many occasions. our opponents have not yet recovered from their futile illusions, although they could defeat and nuclear power. and that is why removing the reasons underpayment underpinning the special military operation a year ago, or something that we need to do using military means. next down, a last question, how can you members days who you help us move to the peaceful resolution of the difference between russia and west? we can say one thing for certain the resolution which is submitted here and will be

put to the vote. will not help this at all. leads will rather encourage the wes in their acts and give our opponents, the pretext to state that russia is supposed to be isolated in the world. why? and that would mean that they continue their militaristic russell phobic lie using the suppose support of you and the commer. of course, the resolution will be used by the key f regime as well and their proper cap. and this is already being done yesterday already miss vigilance. gets stated, the general assembly is being convened, so as to pass a resolution in support of his and infamous piece plan, which consists of 10 items. and this is when we know that the mention of this confusing initiative as far as weight understand, was removed from the draft at the request of a number of o u and colleagues. unfortunately, the gift regime in cordial, in how disingenuous while they are,

but this distance genuine is that we are well familiar with simply don't know about those kind of situation rectified. can we prevent the west from using this document for their purposes, especially in the conditions where many of you under severe pressure and blackmail from washington and alice? yes, it's possible. what you need to do is support the balancing amendments that my beller bella russell colleague, had introduced right before me. the amendments are rejected and the document will remain as it is now one sided and to both divorced from reality. we urge everyone to vote against the draft resolution. i think you like to watch. i mean, i think the district representative of the russian federation, hey, well we've just been listening in live to the un general assembly. as rushes envoy gave his address on the session has been called with the aim of reaching a resolution on the conflict in ukraine speaking on behalf of russia. that's lena bens accused the west of turning ukraine into an anti russian platform while

refusing rushes off with a mutual security guarantees. now the general assembly is expected to hold a vote on thursday that's off the 2 days of speech, is that by dozens of states will be bringing you all the latest on that and other nice, china's top diplomats us our talks with a lot of putin in moscow in the last stop of a sick day diplomatic trip. earlier my colleague speak to peter scott and on call to discuss the meeting significance, which was on the school by the russian leader. is little natasha to international relations today are complicated. they didn't become better after the fall of the bipolar system. quite the opposite. they turned out to be more problematic. in this regard, cooperation between china and russia. as we said more than once, is very important in stabilizing the international situation. even though crises are ongoing, each crisis is an opportunity. so we should strengthen our joint efforts to respond

to current crises and deepening corporations. i also want to emphasize the val cooperation has never been aimed at any 3rd party. but we never allow any 3rd party to dictate to us what to do. these meetings focused pretty exclusively on strategic cooperation between russia and china. when wang, he was in the kremlin, he told vladimir putin that he was grateful. that bilateral relations have stood the test of time, although they've had to go through numerous crises together. he said that this, these kinds of situations actually gave both russia and china the opportunities to grow closer. but believe the concepts of a multiple, a world is also brought up during those tools. what's, what's your take on that? right? there was a lot of talk about multi polarity at these meetings today. and wang even told vladimir putin that china's dedicated to making international relations more democratic. and naturally that means moving away from the unipolar way, way of doing things in terms of international relations. now, lying also did meet with russia's foreign minister, sergey lab rob today and their lab rob again spoke about their common interests in

building this form of a multi polarity on a world scale. and lab rav said that this was something that was also in the best interests of africa and asia countries, the majority of which are trying to assert their national sovereignty very much right now. she's defeated us, see those glue spooky, the russian federation, and the people's republic of china continued to closely coordinate foreign policy efforts. standing for the creation of a more open democratic fair system of a national relations. that's what the majority of asian african and latin american countries which show independence based on their national interests are seeking. they do not accept attempts to impose a confrontational agenda on them, as well as restrictions on their development. that's basically a rundown of what was said at these meetings. and when all was said and done, vladimir putin of course, asked wang to give seizing ping his best wishes. so all around good news for these 2 long standing strategic partners. we spent to john gong professor at the

university of international business and economics in beijing, who's a, the chinese diplomat visit to moscow comes as the 2 countries strengthen economic ties. it's very clear that bar china is in a 100 percent opposed to the union road, or china is a big champion of a motor part of what i to which that, that the china is a party. and also probably, you know, russia writers also in monica. i think one east mission is laying the groundwork for present. she's a casual visit to moscow. i think probably more important is so the app that has to do is essentially establishing a, another economic ordering, minute together, which the briefs, countries are mainly also joined by some allen countries. oil producing countries on, in terms of, at least, you know, come up with a r o choice settlement mechanism that bypasses the u. s. thought the trade or

agency, but you, russia and in china, increased dramatically. i think at least trouble washington has an array tier that somehow with increasing trade, the relationship between benji and moscow is portrayed as a way of assisting a russia that's total nonsense. you know, even before is the trade between china and russia has been increasing rapidly. if i can remember this corrected, i think in 2021 of the trade between russia and china increased by more than 30 percent compared to the previous year. so this such an audio tread even before this was a following his me thing with china's for an offense, cci flood, peyton congratulated russian citizens on the upcoming defender of the fatherland day. the president noted that every person is a defender of their ham nuns. but i am with you just right now. there is a fight on our historical territories for our people. all our people are defenders

of the fatherland. the homeland is a family and in the hearts of russians, they are the same thing. and his address, the russian need a center thanks to so just currently defending their homeland language and culture in the war. and ukraine giving special recognition for medical work is to saving the lives of those engine around $200000.00 people gathered at the arena in moscow for the event waving flags and the patriotic songs. many prominent musicians and artists also joined the festivities. congratulating rations on the upcoming holiday news as well as the fighting rage is on a cross dorm bath will bring you exclusive 1st time. the accounts of some of those who have been caught in the crossfire. the civilians were safely evacuated from the embattled city of our tim. all this could why they known as bach moved to attempt to every refugee camp and they don't. yes for public. oh, it's your search. it was very scary when all the shells were flying. everything was

exploding, nobody knew where the shots were coming from. starting january 10th, my younger brother and i could not leave the house because of the constant bombardment, weatherly willow throne. we were in the 2nd entrance to the building. the ukrainian nationalists were in the next one sullen. they told us to write our initials on our hands with a red marker because they were going to bury us there. we'd been sitting in the basement for over 3 months. ever since the shelling began up to the 3rd floor, a whole house was littered with shells. there were boxes of weapons round the place . i was afraid that something would happen and everything would blow up. and if i decided to move to another basement good before which i think shells were constantly flying through our yard and garden, the ukrainians dug a trench right in front of our house. there were 3 or 4 such structure. small street turned out that was the frond line, hundreds of displaced persons have already passed through this temporary refugees sensor and unethical republic. they come from different places from besieged to our

tom or scanned from other freed areas in the nest republic as well, like solids are the refugee saved by the russian army in that a charm of have all different stories by the have. one thing in common is that they all lost their houses that were destroyed by the ukrainian military. we have shells in our garden, one is buried, shrapnel is all over the yard. neighboring houses have been down. once you at step out of the house, the shelling would begin above. sometimes i was not even able to sleep at dawn, but the weight of the shells were constantly flying through a yard and garden windows. do ukrainians dug a trench right in front of our house? there were 3 or 4 such structures on our street. it turned out that was the front line. this temper, refugees sensor, provides not only shelter, but also necessary clothing of food and medicine as well. once they arrive in this richie sensor, their documents say, gets checked and later on they move on to other areas in russia or stay here in

venice. republic. some of them find jobs are there are, this is a bulletin board. well, it makes of bulletin board where they're able to find jobs or find something to do, but most of them are moving on to meet with their friends and families elsewhere. in russia, romantic author of archie, the desk republic at least 10 palestinians have died and over a 100 more injured and heavy fire fights with israeli forces. as according to the palestinian health ministry, the classes took place in the west bank following idea rates. the gunshots and explosions could be heard in the area as he's ready for the dentist. now lucy's old city videos on social media should palestinians burning tires. i'm

throwing stones of israeli military vehicles. this comes with palestinians express outrage. it intensified policing by the i v f as well as the demolition of our neighborhoods by jerusalem or authorities. the central bank of iran has launched a new currency and gold exchange center to boost its national currency. the rio be center open to mid severe sanctions imposed by the us and experts believe it will reduce the wrongs depends on the dollar. putting the center into an official type to improve access to foreign currency and gold and to establish no 40 to monitor the currency exchange. the volume of the official transactions is expected to increase by allowing foreign currency to be exchanged. the exports of oil products and other commodities. multiple countries have recently focused on replacing dependence on the dollar as trade currency, the rating and passive to russia. so that would you think use of the dollar

a bilateral trade will diminish negative economic impacts. whether the china opened the door for gulf states to buy oil and gas and women b as in an effort to weaken the u. s. dollars grid on well trade and the united arab emirates and india have also entered into talks to establish non oil trades in d as the national currency. where they radiant affairs analysts to heat assault. he says, the worst failure to show itself as a reliable partner has pushed countries around the globe to turn that back on the what has been and gone actually without saying for iran is that the west is not at part to be trusted. as a result of the country has tried to more than the scope of its economy relations with other countries. and since these crippling sanctions are, do not let the country have open economy times, we bought the current trees. and there is this tendency among uranian politicians

to switch to other currencies in order to not lead the trades, b is toss. and in so doing, i think, due to this track, did you try when the read that exist, there is a kind of positive reaction from other partners, our other economy partners of the wrong to ignore this extensive use of the dollar dollar eyes ation and it's negative impacts there is hope that this new measure could play a positive role in employing the situation better ring and value. iranian mccarthy . iran isn't the only country trying to cut itself loose from the u. s. dollar across the in iraq. the central bank has announced plans to develop a dollar free trade with china and use the yuan instead of the green back the movies aimed at improving access to foreign currency as well as boosting the

balance is that the rocky banks with chinese accounts and is the 1st time imports would be financed from china. a new one. as iraqi imports from china have been financed in us dollars, only the us dollar is quite julie slowly giving away to other local currency. and the chinese countries such as iraq and other countries across the world because of what they have seen, the effect of sanctions and the problematic in us all over with irons on us of our trade. so now they were trying to come back by ship thing to use non us dollars such as their local currency. and the chinese gen pieces, expression of a formation of multi polar or multi center will order more regional lies economy. and we know like centers of power emerging. so i think the middle east iraq, of course just representing just. ready part of the picture of the whole world,

the chinese government has liberal eyes and china's internal financial market to external. for financial companies, it is not just being open to west and companies, but also open to other financial companies in other parts of the world. from a us president, donald trump is heading to a higher to the site of a chemical catastrophe which occurred 2 weeks ago of the a train carrying toxic substances derailed that as joe biden to europe with promises of supporting ukraine by any means necessary with many criticising his policy of prioritizing king america and the district of disasters. ah

a dramatic propaganda narrative with president biden's speech in warsaw. i mean, and he punched home freedom and democracy versus autocracy light versus darkness good versus evil. and all of this, of course is, is really an obscene misrepresentation of the situation. and you grand, i read in a p piece that described zalinski and bite in walking through the streets of kia with the air raid sirens, as a taste of the terror that the people of kiev have lived under a never mind. of course, the 9 year bloody war that the kid regime has waged on the people of don boss. this is a propaganda set piece. the target of which is the people of america and the west to create an atmosphere that bite in wanted to present
