a lot should be to go the distressing images from central gals that were at least a dozen people are reportedly killed by as really, bombing raids. all as standing officials selling the alarm over an escalating humanitarian catastrophe. pro palestinian protest, mobilize across the western countries of the devastating is really war on gaza enters a 13 week. but also at 1st there will be no revolutions, no violent seizure of power. secondly, the people have made it completely clear as to who their supports and to whom they give their vote. the serbian president directly addresses pro western protesters who want the results of the recent parliamentary election disrupt the

11 am here in moscow on this sunday the last day of the year. a welcome to the our team use our overnight is really strikes on central gals that have reportedly killed at least 12 people in the ton of as a way to use our local official describe the grim aftermath. i'm not sure what pulled out 9 march is when members of a very peaceful family. 2 adjacent houses where target that the civil defense doesn't have the necessary equipment. in particular, haven't machinery, like bulldozers, silver line volunteers, and private companies on the distressing images from the scene show the quality of a child being taken away for burial low votes. helping, scrambling through the rubble, nope, destroyed buildings, desperately hoping to find survivors. while in the nearby central gals and city of darrow beloved, at least 6 people, including a journalist, were killed by his release showing on saturday. that's according to the palestinian

reg, pressing the spike, the mounting civilian casualties, israel's prime minister sees the own slots, will not spending any time soon. i mean, come into the war is in full swing, we are fighting on all fronts with great success. but we are also paying a painful price. achieving victory requires more time. as the chief of staff has said this week, the war will continue for many more months. my policy is clear. we will fight until the completion of all the objectives of the war and above all, the elimination of a mosque and the release of all these really hostages. meanwhile, in southern gals that the idea of saves it has rated come us headquarters in the city of con eunice. israel claims that facility belongs to intelligence chief of the militant group in the regions. largest city has become an area of intensified

from israel, extended its military operation to the part of being played. many locals have since being forced to sleep. and while there is no festive spirit in can newness to speak of. here's what some palestinians upset about their wishes for 2024. so let's go here to send us the value and we hope the new year brings peace and prosperity without was will fighting. hopefully no more children or women will be killed. a widowed father. we pray that peace is fulfilled all over the world, and then turn and lock on the often with the shutter. no reasonable person can have, we should have made the car and conditions except for us the valuable from this catastrophe. we are currently suffering from. we refused to be looked at with pitching, and then you almost selling item by which piece for the whole well, in the going since return safely to the homes with the families, enable the displaced return and enjoy peace and tranquility while i wish the world a happy new year and may join be said globally,

i wish the goals and this can be happy together with this free will have a local reporter after a while. so terry told us more about the situation in can you this? um, the sentiment of people are entering a new year. there is any uh application for to come to the doctor to add from the south from the east and also from the hospital that cool bands into the area. they have been kind of getting different the place has been choosing from you and it sort of could you come that off of which slides off for me for that offer. on almost top of which i suspect and bear with many of the display people attend, the fire could be heard throughout the whole night. but that doesn't feel like up to this particular moment that isn't as gaining the upper hand as they have been describing. it doesn't actually happen actually being a great thing in the sense of the military perspective. it looks like they have been continuing the very same policy or targeting civilians. they're starting to entrust objects and houses and planning 9 of innocent civilians who are living in

the home. people them cutting on its own people and doesn't get an order was the mistake they understand that they have been subjected to that because of the profession. and they called 2nd profession comfortable. and it's very difficult to be optimistic fucking guys that i can tell you that people are extremely to the u. n. ball. the for a palestinian refugees has one that goes. it is just weeks away from a mass farming thoughts as nearly half of all civilians. they are already said to be on the verge of starvation. the garrison, health ministry states that nearly 2000000 almost the entire population of the strip like basic necessities, the model of the house ministry warrants of a prospect of farming and the hydration of more than one point. 9000000 displaced people select proper accommodations for more medicine and safety require me whatsoever. while increasing number of palestinians are also arriving in the southern guns in border city of rossa,

exacerbating the humanitarian crisis there. this flooded shows a local school which has been converted to a mixture of shelter just while of many hundreds of display civilians. families are forced to live in 10 summit, a critical lock of access to basic supplies and un saves israel has been obstructing the delivery and distribution of humanitarian aid. several refugees and the prophet told us about the hardships they were injured. uh, i was prelim. spell the stadiums, we refused to accept the suffering we're currently in. during even palestinian children are rejecting the harsh realities we face lot with them on the reconstruction of gaza. as the situation has become extremely graham and difficult to see a model, even children can no longer go to school or live a healthy normal life. oh wow. because the key again to see what is happening in gaza today. and the current situation is much larger than during the knock though,

and comparing the number of casualties in this war to those who were in the knock. but the number of displays people living gaza is much higher when people talked about displacement for one to say to resist. and none of us will be forced off this lines and you look more of sure why i'm sure we can die on this land. no one will take us away from this land. i came from sure jaya was done from here. we can die on this land and we will not leave palestine. now in his christmas day speech to the world earlier this week, pope francis decried what he called the quotes appalling harvest of innocent lives in gals and these really prime minister. however, i had a very different message to sure about the palestinians. his troops are targeting a dog christian friends around the world. merry christmas christmas is supposed to be a time of goodwill to all man and peace on earth. while we don't have peace on earth, not on our part anyway. and we certainly don't see goodwill to all men were facing

monsters. i want to thank you for your support. i want to thank you for your prayers. well, the traditional christmas festivities in the west bank were a council this year in solid. dorothy with the war victims in galvan ortiz, middle east bureau chief, me if an officer reports from bethlehem and beautifully decorated 3 in the middle of best. let him and the spirit of christmas throughout the city where jesus was believe to have been born of celebrating proud. h was last year. this year, christmas celebrations all across the west bank have been officially canceled with what is happening in guys, the palestinians here say they do not feel like it's time for facilities in downtown bethlehem where they usually hand and the strings of christmas lights. the workers pull up a pen or a reminder of tragedy and folding in the palestinian and clay untold, son of mine is best the heads for me or can we cause? same decisions were made at least twice during both in default as violence

palestinian mass uprisings against israel. and it is not, it's about solidarity. we are, and both of them or in jerusalem or in my lovely, i've bought over there, but a scene in the people and we're, i'm not the sort of the so and so did that it to dollars of we are still have the same stuff inc and we have the, the same cutting in the middle of the square with famous christmas tree is placed every year. preparations are on the way to set up an installation of a different kind of activity on the rubble. there's nothing that they wouldn't be shown as bombarded by the as the alien aircraft. we are showing baby jesus. why vision mary? carry out him, do it on a way to egypt in order to protect him from the decision that has to be taken by her or those to can or kids and before him. and it is very similar in what's happening and goes through nowadays the people,

the families of taking the kids to assess a place to protect them from the is that are in occupation. christmas is usually high season in bethlehem with crowds of children, foreigners from around the globe. the city has accepted around 1500000 visitors in the 1st, not 9 months of this year. with a 1000000 overnighted stays in local hotels. the israel have asked for has changed everything. the financial losses for the city, which mainly depends on tourism are tremendous. every day, every single day we lose $1000.00 new us dollar because of the war because of the absence of tourism kind of started in janetta. we are losing 2500000 a day. much it from the tories ministry says the biggest challenge is that the workers, thousands of them involved in all those effective industries. tories themselves souvenir production have lost the source of income. if you go to the social media,

you see post people asking for how for the financial help for financial support, which is the 1st time that i see such kind of such kind of messages going from out from inside a lot of houses and how what time it is a lot of communities most of the shops in the city, i closed it so unusual to see the streets of bethlehem empty. and the iconic blue gates shot one location we found open has a history and the reason not to locate stores. 3 generations of one palestinian family have been run and it's for almost 100 years. they say it is more than just a shot because this place also it's part of the forward heart. so we don't want to go with both. we come. we open, we see our friends or family, especially this place is opposite to the benefits of jesus. so that's gives us more hope religious ceremonies and nature, just alterations remain intact. you're in this dark christmas,

even though they usually packed churches are far from being. so right now, a church backyard is the only place where we found some decorations and answer as to how the religious community sees the conflicts between israel and thomas. the church is always against the vi, let's judge that the same. that's not the same as but also we can not generalize if a part of palestinian or 5 to visit alien mic violence. you cannot say both, but a scene is violent and all is right. in spite of violence, father rami says, human history has always seemed dark and wide pages. prayers these here he tells me, we'll all be about wisdom and the will to make the right choices. what is the solution we pay in this christmas for the piece and the to eliminate the mind that the have to for the leaders of the word. so they will save the humanity, not save their interests. and only god knows how many more palestinians in gaza and

his rarely soldiers will die before the long awaited peace. well, this is not the 1st time that's best. let him and all of palestine. i'm going through hard times. people say this current crisis is by far the most painful and hard breaking. but as always, especially during christmas, the ra hopes here, that's the hard shapes, like the ones of the past will be overcome and the light will shine through the darkness. reason ocean all the reporting from bethlehem and merry christmas pro palestinian demonstrations are a gathering momentum around the world with the warren gals and now into it's 13 week one. such protests took place in london for hundreds of people took to the streets of the british capital to the amount of that seems far from the policy. and even though solid, it was fighting gun is really,

you know, during the holiday time, especially because it's very easy for these, but the solidarity with people because this is a call against imperialism dining with how the patient says. i'm not sure that we touch isn't is a genocide. full

mouth demonstration to also held in australia and spain. those locals march and wave policy name, flags. hundreds of people gathered outside the letters, foreign ministry, demanding from justice on a truce, and gas that tens of thousands of us trillions in melbourne. call for an in for these really killing house in the let's acknowledge them. it is not reflecting in stride in people the starting point to one pace these right. and they both say in ages of children being killed the family, things on it. they say kids without parents being discharged from the hospital with no, i'm the guy to and the government. elaine needs subordinate strength and the bombing and in the killing as we want the site says and then says stop the cleaning then that, that'd be fine. now, minutes and yahoo and his accomplices should be removed before the international criminal. we will see them on the spanish government to add more effectively into

the genocide in palestine. and there should be sanctions and avoid court in the israel. israel should not be part of the international communities, most civilized nations office of what it is do a no. this is the only option we have left to protest against the genocide that israel is committing against the palestinian people. we citizen, these have no other option. well, just to point out as real sized claims of genocide happening in gals that are baseless, not intel a v people have once again raleigh for the safe return of hostages from gals, or at least 100 and $29.00 of these are still believed to be held by him us, the protesters say their government is failing to bring them home. some of also called them prime minister benjamin netanyahu to resign ears. local journalist nic codio can the people here behind me and also their relatives of that. plus the, just the desperate they calling on these rather government to do much more to

really say that $129.00 is riley women. as a children man, that's 2 of the comps they receive of how much that the guys are. they are saying that the every minute there that could save it is dangerous for their lives and that there is that a lot of pain in the eyes of those people does change here today. and they are thinking that they is really government too much thinking about the looks are pressure on guys, a sweet spot from what we hear from the hostages. the say really bones sometimes puts in bands that are not just that i'm us. and the guys, the citizens but also is rarely hostages. the families here at the main thing from each row. first of all, to do a deal to exchange as hostages for prisoners or for these far. and after all these riley st isn't one. that's where a 2nd from they're all bad music festival has nothing to do. they have nothing to do his good, softly until they're coming home. she is there,

i can wait. and after that is that i can continue to do this time mazda and try to destroy it. but people who are saying it is impossible to do. busy both the. busy ringback charge here, it's not, it's not possible to achieve both targets of the store and come out and bring it back. the hostages and the event that targets all of this try and come us to almost impossible because for that is, or i will need to check under control guys for at least a few months if no test here. and after that, you go to the tunnel sense of the story from inside all these for a structure and everybody's here on the sentence will not happen. and what is happening, it probably is day is really prime minister tries to for long is that right? so being extreme and government because they understand the day after the war, probably ok, there will be elections and those elections and benjamin have been able to not have any chance to win because the public here is very furious that came with the 5. the

things that the alarm is riley prime minister, has a big fox in the 7th of october because he was too much involved. and he's corruptive deals in that he's that striving to weaken the ability to add the courts in these route. and that because of that, he forgot that he needs to defend, he's drugs and he needs to think what's going on around god, this trip. and that's why this year the public is furious and they are the main thing, these rarely prime minister to bring back called the house the just on okay, moving on to more world news, india has reportedly urge g 7 countries to delay their bottom on imports of russian diamonds calling incoming rules, increasing the origins of the gems. on clear, the industry is crucial for india's economy, which is home to some 90 percent of the world's diamond refining businesses. our chief engine, charlotte takes up the story. as the wisdom lead group of 7 countries has announced

a direct band on russian diamonds starting january 1st, followed by fees and restrictions on in direct and boards of russian gems from around march. this is the cost of the was diamond industry, the city of rough in deals with the state of georgia and we design $7000.00 small and medium stock please that employees tuesday, evening workers comp for list each session stones and all edged in around 2 up for generations 90 percent was cost be in the city. so right now the decision by the g 7 to russian diamonds, millions employed in the sector. denise nevada, deal alone with other than just the leaders met with the g 7

a few months ago. she was in sue's up the told the block that the decision would be a dissolved still for millions and the state venue been assumed of so many but 1st god bless and these families. and so probably the same side does feel that it's unfair. the d b, the price of this you politics. and so they are now looking for ways to cushion the blow of the band with this band by the j seventy's and they sure it's diamond industry could collapse to 1000 print to 60 percent of diamonds in india. come from russia, health and 80 percent of our industry works on small diamond bowl bank because many people may lose their jobs and then we can't make that happen to them while at the india and the industry have to collectively find solutions to this. it's complicated because india not only fall issues, but also treat men seated cross legs on mattresses behind wooden desk. uh.

with an eyeglass squeezes and calculators, they have our normal size in food. all these men also like sport, 40 percent, as well as diamonds to choose 7 nations. but the group is to introduce traceability based level vacation for rough diamonds. by september, next year. you have on to now see that we have some band in the gym all just for some interest. as most of the was diamond read goals to the belgians to, to you i'm to up with now the use on board because business has gone down. those washington boards to belgium have fallen das, the timing of the band. it scale the previous sanctions on russian fuel cold caviar . what i have simply north was on critics now have started doubting the feasibility of the russian diamond bond to. the key points here is that most of the russian diamonds we cut and polish are essentially less than point 5 carats. there should

be control over the rough diamond's coming from russia, but as long as diamonds are processed in india, there should not be further checks or double checks as we can maintain tracking of rough diamonds, refreshing diamonds coming from and to work and other places like dubai. can be used for our exports, this shouldn't disturb the sanctions on russian diamonds. and we should be able to explore our process, diamonds. so i'm in a scenario recently, you know, because they did, the biggest office in the was with dime was, would be treated india clearly wanting to minimize the potential disruptions caused by the time for diamond phones and blowing millions of people and the implementation of this them successful or not, when obsolete depend on india to europe and serbia were a mid ongoing anti government protest president booted shows, told the pro western opposition, not their desire for toppling the leadership, and the bulk and country will not materialize. the 1st,

there will be no revolutions, no violent seizure of power. secondly, the people have made it completely clear as to who their supports and to whom they give their vote. and this is of key importance and certainly will try to form the government of the republic of serbia before the end of february or the beginning of march. so that we can start addressing the problems, continue developing survey and see how to raise the growth rate and how to make serbia move forward to view the process and on thousands helping rolling invalid rates among a re run. the resend parliamentary votes, which the incumbent president's party officially won. protesters claim the election was stolen and accusation vehemently denied by ballad grade. and the number of the demonstrators waved serbian flags, and then you were also seen brandishing pro western slogan. some of the protests also turn violence with on the attempted storming of upgrades government headquarters senior. earlier this week the

this was an attempt to violence take over of the state institutions of the republic of serbia. i can only say thank you, but perhaps this will not be understood in the west. but tonight i especially feel that it is important to stand up for serbia and sank. the russians special services who have this information and share it with us the, the attempts of the collective best to shake of the situation in serbia using the techniques of the might done cool. all of this

this is part of the 5 rewards. i would like to stress the on tie bells, right, forces actors, almost single tenant to sweep the operate on to process. this is the situation and costs of attempts at the might not cool. here in belgrade the well, we also heard from serbian american journalist and boyce and mileage, he believes it's clear. western intelligence has info, created the ranks of the political opposition in survey. the people who are involved in these protests are a professional activist at the all these western organizations that essentially have a bought and paid for come out of civil activists in serbia who again don't have drops. and they pretend to be the representative to, to representatives of the working class who are trying to you know, deliver democracy and it's absurd on its face. i mean, if they had some sort of respect for the electron foot for the actual working people for the actual citizens,

i would understand. but they go around all of these, went pro western media outlets insulting everybody's and then say, oh, we're entitled to because here the democratic democrats, blues and democracy, these parties, these activists have spent the past week insulting the serbian public into serbian people. it's certainly not democracy. the whole concept here is that this is a call from within pre being presented as a legitimate genuine popular revolution. and the whole thing has been scripted up again by american activist funded and organized for the national endowment for democracy of its branches and various and yellows. and this is, this recipe was used to build grades in 2000 in georgia. 2003. you have in 2004 and again in 20132014, which escalate done. and many other places, including throughout the middle eastern europe. well, the 20 less and as people have gotten wiser to it, it's gotten less and less effective, but that hasn't stopped people to try it again and again. journalist and commented or in a voice and knowledge there. um,

he's got plenty more to say about the on risk to head over to our website for the full scale plus plenty more opinions analysis on the days big stories at r t dot com. now the festive season may be opponents, but for those serving on the front lines right across the it will also be the toughest away from family and friends while doing their duty. next week, chronicle a russian navy brigade seeing action and the brain conflict there every day. routine, extraordinary, for most of us experience it next in our shores. the,

[000:00:00;00] the pessimist place explains also to the toner and a total of this. but i will tell you how many more more than

324204237, training here. okay. one second, please. sure. the signal is, yeah, uh no recording, well, no problem regarding the property of the space like so the order was told her to know that, but she wants us to get any problem with the part of the research thing. they will just look ridiculous, but it's through them. we're just me much for 3. and don't you know, more with extensive photo that means really describes them pick up a little slash apply to most often you might that's my fault and i need to know if it's on the phone with somebody about the with the yeah, what's your 1st question for them which is fiscal. what was ok, that 1st one is the life the store. it's just me,
