the the, the usually what just happened in belgrade is definitely a terrorist act. it was a targeted attack on civilians. remarks on p, a sadly attack on the russian city of belgrade, which killed the $25.00 civilians and wounded $100.00. 9 more. john bass comes under heavy showing from the train on new year's eve night with at least 4 civilians killed in more than a dozen rooms at antonio. that means rarely, military itself and dogs are rolled over into a new year. well, some public city and so hope for peace against all. on the contrary, i hope this year will be a good one. the good will come to every one, but the war will end soon and we will return to our homes and our country

e mails with the tragedy that we are suffering emails of the destruction that has befallen us. we are mourning and a powerful earthquake has had central japan leaving 2 people, dad and bring it to nami, waves to the island nation. so the live in moscow, you're watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble. we start with breaking news president vladimir putin has condemned the deadly ukrainian strike on the russian city of belgrade as an act of terror. the attack has now claimed the lives of 25 civilians after a child died in the hospital on monday, bringing the children's death told to 5, the russian president commented on the attack during a meeting with veterans of the conflict, the new crane. let's take a lesson for the good news. what just happened in belgrade is definitely a terrorist act. under the cover of 2 rockets, they struck using a multiple launch rockets system. this kind of weapon hits indiscriminately and

they used it to strike the city center where our people were walking around just ahead of new year's eve. it was a targeted attack on civilians. of course it's a terrorist act. you can't call it anything else. must we now respond in the same way? we do have the capability to strike the central square and key of or any other ukrainian city. but why would we respond like that? there are children walking their mothers with brands. it's hard for me to even imagine the situation do we really have to act like this? to hit city squares. we are striking with precision weapons and locations where the ukrainian forces have their command centers, where there are concentrations of military personnel, mercenaries, and other military centers and facilities of this nature. and the strikes are quite sensitive for them. this is how we will continue to act. now that clip that we just saw, that was during president put his address to russian military veterans and on a visit to the hospital where they are recovering from taking part in the special

military operation. now he laid out very important points in his address, and he also took questions from the veterans. and naturally, one of the 1st questions that he was asked was about the belgrade attacks. and to that, the russian president told them terrorist attacks, and he elaborated that ukraine has use multiple launch rockets system against civilians. and while he was also asked as a follow up, how is russia responded to this? and he says, well, russia has the ability to do the exact same thing. russia has the ability to strike the center of keys and end up enjoying thousands of civilians. but there is not russia's goal here. russia's focus is try can military infrastructure, and that is exactly how russia is responding. now to some of his talk on the belgrade attacks, he says that this was the situation to try to scare russia. this was an attempt to try to plant seeds of this trustworthy in russian society, and that this will not go on punished. another very interesting point he made out

is that he highlighted that ukraine is not the enemy, and he specified that for a very long time. russia has been bothering the was that now they're simply using ukraine as a tool to fight against russia indirectly. do live close doing it, it is not that they are helping our enemy. the west is our enemy. they are solving their own problems using the hands of ukrainians. it has been like this for centuries, unfortunately, and still it continues. ukraine itself is not our enemy. and me is those who want to destroy russia and the chief, as they say, a strategic defeat of russia. they are mainly western countries. there are different people in the west. there are those who sympathized with russia. but there are also the so called leads for whom the existence of russia and its current size and state is unacceptable to their mind. they wanna break russia up and have been talking and writing about it publicly for decades. that's why they have no to and the key regime and created this conflict. and unfortunately,

they succeeded in fostering conflict. they are trying to manage the task of finding russia using the hands of a crime. you can probably see that dual credit is losing on the battlefield. how the situation is changing. and that's despite the fact that the whole so called civilized world is fighting against us. he also pointed out that russia wants peace with ukraine, but under its own conditions. he also said that russia is using modern warfare, motor weapons, and which makes it's one of the best countries in the world when it comes to that. another question who was asked was on the progress of the special military operation, and he replied that the russian armed forces are becoming more and more effective on the ground. he also said that the abilities of the russian armed forces are rising. and another topic that was discussed here at length was of course the economy, as he was asked about the outcome of the russian economy in the year of 20. it's way 3. and he laid out the annual reports and the take away from last year really

was that the russian economy was kept alive despite the harsh western inspections. and the ged po process, is it all, it had an increase of 3.5 percent in the year of 2023. and that alone really shows that the economy is city and functioning, has been suspended. the mueller to push to a fundamental point is that we did not just protect the country's economy. we did not allow it to be destroyed as the enemy had hoped. an answer to your question. it was not to claim that was counting on destroying our economy. it is in can the beloved doing so it is completely destroyed itself. there is nothing left there and survives only on handouts. all their officials go around with an out stretched hand, begging for an extra $1000000.00. our situation is completely different. we have recovered from our fall and moved forward, rush, it was disconnected from the international swift payment system. they seemingly hope that everything will collapse. we supply our traditional exports, right. and how do we settle accounts? no big deal. everything is working. all of them thought that enterprises would stop

because they stop supplying us with components, but it turns out that everything is possible. yes, they have created problems, but nevertheless they are being overcome. despite the fact that we are in a state of armed conflict, all the main indicators of the countries viability and efficiency have increased. and this is probably the most important indicator of the state of russia. now, on western companies left the markets, the was naturally expected. russia to, from both the russian companies stepped in and sanctions were unable to bring russia down as the country has adapted to the new situation. notice of the talk about the economy, the russian president briefly mentioned the unemployment rate as well. and how it is a historic low right now in russia. he also stressed that yes, there are challenges that russia is facing. but these are the challenges that russia can overcome. he also met with the russian service men in his residence in the moscow region. and they were all representatives from different areas of the front lines and he exchanged

a few words with them as well as congratulated them on the new year. and don bass celebrations had been marred by done the ukrainian shelling of the city of don't ask which occurred just minutes into the new year. local officials to at least 4 people have been killed and more than a dozen wounded. are to use room on cost reports from the same this is a central street here in the city. all done this resource targeted by be you creating a military shortly after midnight. on new year's eve. several stores here for damaged and some buildings were completely destroyed, right? now, i am working on the shattered glass and debris from the building and in the background, i can still hear the sounds of our children showing. here's the last 3 little old book, my mother and i celebrated the new year. i went on for smoke in the balcony. sometime

after the midnight explosion started somewhere nearby, very low, and in the very center of the city. to be honest, it wasn't comfortable that i'm from the rubles with leaf through all of this. i cannot stand unlikely because of it, then a car quite far, a shuffle into the side of the house. in addition, there were several explosions nearby. glass shuddered in several houses. it was unpleasant to say the least. the center of the mask looks like a more so. right now. there is still a fire brigade riding all throughout the city was a massive flyers caused by n c. c. the shelves are simply laying around everywhere. shortly after midnight on new year's eve, vermont calls for a varsity unnecessary public author and a political analyst, and the call america,

which says the act of terrorism committed by ukraine against russian civilians constitutes a war crime. amy targeting a civil district within a reference city is actually a, it's an act of war. you can be considered about this to, or it can be brought for an international tribunal and the utility training military can be conducted. and this is a, this is definitely the definition of a, of it's not what we could call a terrorist attack. and when it's handed organized by state, this is a, this is actually a war crime which has been conducted to because the, a west to kill civilians and where no military targets. and that we know, unfortunately, that ukraine has been used by the west for a long time that i've been to organize a color ocean in cash. which for we know funded, organized help by the west by it. and i just organizations by the source foundation, i mean everybody knows today that the west is behind us. if the west,

the collective west would stop funding is see if there was stop giving out arms, weapons, satellite counselors, all the specialist which are helping you pay the number to date. there would be no more. so this definitely, this is a proxy was organized by washington and needle and just to make it to international to make it easy to understand. that's the situation we are in today. there is a little cause for celebration and does a as the is really military kicked off. 2024 with a fresh round of strikes on the enclave. however, some palestinians are hopeful, they will eventually see peace at some point in the new year. but one, the one i live on how to hope that the world will end as soon as possible, god willing. and that will return to our homes that were destroyed if there any homes for us or not destroyed. and i hope that my children will be released. no, no, no. we hope that the new year will come and we will return to our home. we wish for peace of mind and to return to our homes, to review our message,

to israel is to withdraw from gaza. enough of the tragedy that we are suffering enough of the destruction that has be following us. we are morning. they have lived gaza off the map. the contrary, i hope that this year will be a good one. the good will come to everyone that the war will end soon and we will return to our homes and our country. we are very optimistic that the war will end soon. my message to all the arab countries and all the countries of the world. i hopefully will hear me. we want to return to our country in the north and live in peace. this is what we want. even if we only live on the sand, apart from the staggering a child's death rate in does international and joe's are also raising the alarm over the mental state of young palestinians that trapped inside the wars zone. children have been exposed to a dramatic episodes. we saw patients recovering from physical injuries on some

having lost the time of the members. the cobra strategies had been taken away from them. there was no safe place and no sense of security. it messed up now, as well. the suffering of many young diamonds began long before october 7th in 2018 teenager is it in the last row? lost his leg after being shot by and is released sniper a year later, he was able to walk again and thanks to a prosthetic land courtesy of volunteer groups, sending us after returning home to gaza. is it then took part in helping other amputees there. but his life was ultimately cut short last week when he was killed in and is really our strike. and steve supposed to be, who help is it in, in the us show the young and defiant palestinians story with us. and i in 2018, he joined thousands of other palestinian refugees in gauze and protesting peacefully at the gossip borders for the great during the great returned march is a sniper is really soldiers. and that shot him from

a very far distance and his leg. his leg was amputated. organization brought him to the united states where you had a new prostate prosthetic legs built for him to enable him to walk and return to school and finish school ended. we hired him to become a field worker and humanitarian aid worker. he was quite interested in photography, so he was a practice. we were training him in that field to support our communications team. and just on christmas day, while him and his family huddled together in fear, i suspect as most palestinians do at night, their home was bombed in demagogues, a refugee camp in central guys by an air strike and his entire family was killed. his body remains under rubble today and there's no way to remove it due to the lack of heavy equipment that can remove large cement blocks. and it's just a terrible, terrible tragic i. tragedy. i knew him very well. he was a good kid. very positive,

very smiling all the time, always ready to um, to do anything you can to help even during the last few weeks when i was in touch with him, he was expressing his desire to do more on the ground there to help his people. for mr. subsidy also told us that a total of 6 young palestinians have been treated in the us by his organization have been killed in gaza. he says the american people largely do not support washington's endorsement of the israel, a military on slots. there is a sense of irony, i guess i already wouldn't probably be the right word because it doesn't convey the human tragedy behind the lives of these children being destroyed. you know, being killed, being the amputees, having their parents killed, losing their homes, living under these horrific conditions as a result of the policies of the us government. and also then coming to this country and benefiting from the treatment that americans provide them. i guess the 3rd that

would be considered ironic, but there's also and probably other more strong verse words that could be used in any case. i think it symbolizes that the american people themselves are maybe not behind this score. they don't believe that killing innocent children in injuring innocent children like as a dean and others isn't any way justified. and that when you go, the people who are treating our kids is not the us government. it's the american people, their private hospitals, their private doctors for extending their services on a humanitarian level to help. and i think that that shows a significant disconnect between the policies of the government and the will of the people. and we also spoke this morning was journalist criminal satari, who's in the southern guys in the city of ton eunice, where more is really bombs fell as the new year came into being, what do you guys are husband living?

i got a very fucked up to the 1000 bucks with gods. why do people, monuments were continuous and that is and we are being watched, continues to advance the active. i'd like to do the search and before the signatures are so they can go there. it'd be fire week would be in this particular area in east i knew the secret nearby and budman specific to the assembly fire. we could see also the whole new customer fire, which was indicated ongoing and confrontation between 3 trying to send them to justice. and it's, i mean, sufficient. and with that comes the group number by listing is as was looking for better under this, i've been losing the home, losing the nice, i'm losing their hopes as little toward it's and the 1st thing the new year and before the seen, a doctor, the new bombardment seconds the nice of taking care of all the and science. so basically it'd be an end result. and and now to germany were riots broke out in berlin on new year's eve leaving 15 police officers injured. and at least 250

people arrested the . but despite the official band on a rally, more than 2000 people gathered for a pro palestine protest in the capital on sunday, the situation reported they appeared calm in the afternoon, but ended up with classes of place on new year's eve. some protesters shot fireworks at officers while others reported they tried to throw a molotov cocktails of the 24 international human rights groups have appealed to the us secretary of defense, demanding justice for civilians killed by the american military in somalia. we spoke with a relative of some people who died in israel and striking their mortgage issue in 2018 just on. uh, got it. uh, they have flooded on by mistake. uh, she was freezing to uh,

near town where my other brother was a resident. so she was there for 15. uh, that's how it happened. uh, it was a charge for our family. um until now of the 5 years and a half. uh we have a spoken with those. okay. and my sister and her daughter, i have tried to contact them. so for those times and money to noticed with the data they have contacted them, sends an email. we have also contacted with the us embassy in additional uh, we are late. we have tried to engage with the journalist and the human rights. so we did another company, took care of the attention. but no one we have of to know committed this

us to even at least to give us this kind of, of overlap jersey as well. you, as has been bombing, is law, most targets in somali of 4 years, according to the intercept investigative outlet, the trump white house authorized a relaxation of the rules of engagement for the 2018 strike. the anonymous american drone operators were reportedly unable to identify their targets. no one has been brought to account for the killing of civilians. and last spring, 7 members of the victims. families asserted that in spite of numerous requests made us as not offered them any compensation or even an apology, and in fact, claims no civilians were killed in that strike. well, the undeclared american war on somali and militants has been slipping below the radar of international law for quite some time. over the past 17 years, the us military has carried out more than 300 attacks across the african country.

the strikes reported left to more than $2100.00 somalia is killed, including $121.00 civilians. a bumper to hear again says washington is doing everything possible to avoid accountability for the details. i think this over shot is military officers. they always try to create to keep their petition created. so they go on to really define level of over at dice gifts with money. so i think they have their own reason is i'm not sure about that, but uh for sure. they are doing a lot of for kia, eliminating the terrorist just uh, because a lot of people are facing money, just include to terrorism. so that is the side. it's a good. yeah, we're

a good thing of a fan from them. but when it comes for the fee, and it's i think almost to so for me to service the, the, or over a 10 year they didn't to do anything. they didn't have to give anything be this. i think few residents a day off over a just today if can assist williams. but we think that there are hundreds of security certificate of these kind of a so now me warning has been issued by japanese authorities after a powerful 7 plus magnitude earthquake hit the central part of the country monday morning. major highways quickly reached the islands west coast with even larger ones expected to follow what's known as the whole image. it so not a warning has been issued for enough to issue current with prefecture. we're observing a lot so now i mean if you're on the coast or along the river, please evacuate to higher ground immediately. it's a japanese tv stations. if they cancelled new years,

day shows as they switched it to covering the natural disaster. people across the country's west have been told to move to higher ground ahead of a potential tidal wave. the tremors have disrupted supplies of electricity, leaving thousands of homes without power. in well 40 say nuclear power plants are operating normally and have not been affected. downplaying fears of another fukushima like incidence. 2 people were reportedly killed as the earthquake struck the island nation. as footage it shows the aftermath with houses destroyed and roads of broken army units have been dispatched to help with rescue operations. according to a government spokesperson. shortly after the clock struck a prime minister for meal because she to warn residents to be prepared. as the disasters may continue to strive. the many motorway 7 temporarily closed following the earthquake. this video was taken by local. if you

had found a vehicle for people had difficulties staying on their feet or more footage uploaded, the social media says people and the kind of our for us shopping mall, huddling together for safety with goods scattered around on the floor. however, no significant damage was reported. the us democratic congressman has slammed at republican lawmaker who recently traveled to uganda to speak out in support of the african countries antique a legislation. according to democrat, dan killed the g o p. house member tim walbert has been quote, using our offices to promote divisiveness and hate speaking in again the in october . mr. walbert urge to the east african nation to stand firm against western pressure over its laws. pastor martin, same by you again and pro family figure and founder of the strait nation organization believes the criticism of the canada is super credible. is america?

is that unit called for? well with africa? so the fact that the american politicians was somehow pretend like, oh, it's terrible too for, for, for a center tech team. what was the point chair of the us national prayer breakfast to come to uganda to support us. this is no personality. the eas, fatty gee, is that the right as someone is the strategy is that the democratic members of co grace and senators who want to leave and all the different reality changes laws based on the financial pressure is that to, to. ringback the whole person that is breaking the laws that i've been legitimately made. and it's a he brokerage statement as the united states outside of the program called deepening democracy in africa. and when different democracy us empower people

will vote, they elect to lead us, and where they elected lead as possible, which they, the europe as americans don't like that the americans are like, no, we don't want that. the little pricey. and i just find that's absolutely key book critical. we must resolve africa's pray everything in 2023. we aired a report in which we shed light on who may have interest and the complex that continues in gaza. the story gained popularity among the american audience with political talk show host jimmy door calling it amazing. that is amazing. this is and this i'm going to guarantee a rachel, matt. i was not going to tell you that sean hannity's not going to tell you this. anderson cooper, not going to do it or there's still just now. i mean these are, i have no idea. i always like to live gas or anything like i always wondered about it. never heard a thing and apparently 1999 is was like a top secret released file. all right, let's go back now to 2023,

to take another look at the insights of that report. probably wouldn't know it, but garza is rich guess rich at least $1.00 trillion a cubic feet rich to be precise. what does attach geologist and natural resources economists have confirmed that the occupied palestinian territory flies above sizable reservoirs of oil and natural gas wealth in areas see of the occupied westbank in the mediterranean coast of the gaza strip. to date, the real in opportunity cost of the occupation exclusively in the area of oil and natural gas have accumulated to tens, if not hundreds of billions of dollars back in 1999 to protest in you know, forward to sign to deal with british gas just off the golf coast based struck a lot to on to wells were drilled. that's called some green one. and 2, it was a multi $1000000000.00 gift from god and becoming food and both home and

abroad. this is one of the key messages here today that will be gas available for export. and for my conversations with the palestinian officials including presents our fast, it is clear that they have no interest in just sitting on a gas surplus fall for the 2007 come off comes to power and is around launches and offensive on the golf. a strip leaving behind $1400.00 dead palestinian spots taken with it the gas fields now within the year. is raul announce the discovery of the leviathan natural gas field, which did include thoughts as riches on an old, valued at $453000000000.00. now, since then gone, since i've been seeing a shackle full to be more accurate, they have been denied around $47000000.00 in revenue as the tennessee as well. it's going to become an u haul. this is

a historical moment in which the small country of israel becomes a significant player in the global energy market. the memorandum of understanding will enable israel for the 1st time to explore it is rarely natural gas to europe. and it is even more impressive looking at the significance set of agreements we signed over the last year, which position is real and these really energy and water sectors as a key global player. let's just run through this stuff at that moment in time. so we're talking 2022 russian oil and gas. what sanction rating and oil? what's tanks and syrian oil fields while i'm still all illegally occupied by us forces? now the key port of natasha was being formed quite as well on the pool to favorably . the gateway into the middle east lay in ruins. and to this small country, this rob whitehead, with its seas of gas, it's watching ports, an onset new york's problems,

and perhaps most critically the u. s. blasting. because in case you didn't know us, congress has decided that is really energy as in the highest national security interest of washington. so p. c, it was our need to have fee for tennessee to become a t global path all through. it had itself previously mulder ways in which to make it's 55 states, a window onto europe. and other interesting application of nuclear excavation would be a sea level canal, 160 miles long across israel, connecting the mediterranean with the gulf, a comma investor, a c in the indian ocean. such a canal would be strategically valuable, alternate to the prison. suez canal canal is a gold mine. it connects the mediterranean sea to the indian ocean via the red sea . it is the link between asia on here up every day list 3000000 barrels of.
