the, the, the targeting chains that ukrainian parliament is reportedly set to approve come for reversal plans to draft 18 year old south key ads. horses continue to suffer. a big loss is on the battlefield. portion can, is using africa, is that testing, growing threats and military biological projects. not as the warning from the russian defense ministry which also leaves all the links between the pentagon and big pharma. the christmas tree and a dominant leave orthodox syrian, the city is set on fire for affordably by an h t. s a fairly aged, islamist holding modified rage on believers doubts all the head. this news are the

indeed wherever your costume and these are from today across the world. welcome to the global news, rob and r t. i mean, and then the ukranian. lawmakers are reportedly taking final steps before making a decision on sending 18 year olds to the front lines. i make p as mounting apo fee losses. the lowest step to expose the news that the draft law on lowering the mobilization age to 18 has already been developed and is being kept within the walls of the very colorado is true. that the, this initiative has been in the presidential office for a long time. it has been in the work of nevada for a long time. it's just waiting to be implemented. you and i have already seen how the mobilization is going. it's breaking into a person's house, workplace, or killing people in a conscription center for it is already the norm. so mobilization from the age of 18 will simply be another of zalinski is tools aimed at destroying the ukrainian

people, as well as quite a bit of mixed messages coming out of ukraine. first, most media in the country. first, they have once again sounded the alarm that this mobilization age could be and is about to be low would to 18 years of age. and that the bill that would introduce it is already that it has already been drafted. it is within the walls of the ukrainian parliament and it is only up to a political decision as to be to put it up for the vote and to introduce it publicly at 1st. ukrainian media of a site is a representative with the 17th pole top a brigade under. it could be just wishful thinking of a competent who has found itself on the front lines. i mean a massive shortage of manpower in the trenches, but then a ukrainian m p has confirmed these free is basically corroborating that claim and his voice message you've already, you've already listened to a box of it, the voice message that he has posted on his official telegram channel,

at the same time that have been voice is coming from another ukrainian m. p like seek engineer who has been quick to jump to basically refuse to claim that any such bill of this kind to exist. so that this is a fake news. essentially his goal during ukrainians to to verify sources that they are using in face alex, a good jim guy has a code and basically reiterated the message that has been repeatedly sent to the ukrainians by incidents. there's a lot of discussion in the media about lowering the draft age for ukrainians to go to the front lines. we must focus on equipping existing brigades and training personnel to use this equipment. we must not compensate the lack of equipment and training with the youth of soldiers, but all these denials they didn't come out of nowhere because the ukrainians landscape, personally, his retinue has been pushed quite vigorously towards the lowering that age of

mobilization to 18 years of age. first and foremost by the united states, defense secretary has been pushing ukraine to do that. or america, secretary of state has been also very well pursue a very pursuit until this idea that ukraine should send uh, well, high school graduates to the front lines under the u. k, while it did not explicitly suggest that ukraine should lower its dropped age, it has uh, hopefully said that the food, the support ukraine. and of course, the decision to lower the age of mobilizations that would be met by london was quite favorably getting younger people into the fight. we think many of us think is necessary. right now. 18 to 25 year olds. i'm not in the fight. our view has been that there's not one weapon system that makes a difference in this battle. it's about manpower and ukraine needs to do for and are due to firm up its lines in terms of the number of forces it has on the front

lines. we need to make it easier for the ukrainians to access, and we need to work with the ukrainians to help them motivate and mobilize more recruits. now key of has been repeatedly trying to sweep under the rug, the uncomfortable proofs about the forceful mobilization. because people are quite outraged at the draft officials that they dropped offices who roam the streets in their advance. they are pursued people. these 2 people, even in one of the videos that hasn't merge lately, a young male arrived in a taxi to his house of and uh, it was the on the one of the ccd cameras, it showed a van, well, creeping up behind a that's a taxi. and as soon as that young male exited the call and tried to well swiftly, uh, he was, uh, we'll get a quite fast paced towards the door towards uh, into his apartment below building. well, uh you could see dropped offices chasing him. and well,

mobilizing it was clear that that man was not exactly a volunteer and that have been ever such videos emerge every day and sometimes, and quite often they are violent drop the offices they use for the beat people up. they have even lately gotten the approval to shoot people on the side in case the life is in danger. but the, the that video does not suggest in any way that the life over that particular dropped office. it was in danger and still a one life was through all that man in the video he was killed now. so it does suggest that the excessive force that sadly some of these dropped off is that they are happy to use excessive force and basically do everything in the power to

a low can script as many males now as possible. because according to some reports, many of them are threatened that if they do not meet a certain criteria, if they do not meet a certain number of cost groups, uh they are threatened that they themselves would be sent to the front line crane right now. basically a script of any sort of advantage and any sort of leverage when it comes to when it comes to negotiations. ukraine could to potentially try and dropped in cost scripts and as well as tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of new people of a new will do conscripts to basically try and do something akin to what they did in rushes. coolest region because definitely they did hope that that's the foothold that they had initially gained in brushes, cool, quick region that that was the upper hand that they had during these negotiations.

but since then, they have already lost more than a half of the territory that they had that they initially to come to control of. and they keep losing more and more every day. so that this could be the lowering of this age of the dropped age. could be ukraine's way to have their basically final attempt to, to do something big and to try and get at least some leverage on russia. well, rush out, that'd be right in the us use africa as a natural infection. recivore on an experimental side for new biological weaponry. that is the accusation emerging from the russian defense ministry, which offered significant detail by once, allegedly on folding on the continent, a fit of what, what should reduce cause, where it says emotionally. i would like to remind you that the deployment of the american biological control system in africa is carried out according to an already worked out scenario, is 1st that there is concern about regular outbreaks of,

for example, anthrax and to a roommate in one region, foot and mouth disease and plague in another group with a solid you as a rule. this happens during meetings of us ambassadors with representatives of the local ministry of health, just american colleagues. note that such outbreaks undermined the development of the regions economic potential for the level of training of senior staff and specialists in terms of neutralizing is questioned and the need to improve their skills is expressed which against this background the us proposes to create a center for disease diagnosis and drug testing within one to 2 years, which will study dangerous pathogens and the mechanisms of their mutations to develop and test modern and vaccines. some of which in your, according to rough as nuclear defense forces of washington use as the humanitarian card to get into countries where they can obtain passages and then use the epidemiological situation their to their advantage. and they do this in countries

that they see, of course, as geo political opponents for where they see that their power is diminishing. and how do they do this? they do this by recommending upgrades and for example, a 3 month training program for locals. 4 can out anywhere between $5.00 to $10000000.00 initially without number potentially able to go to $20000000.00. and of course, the people helping out the locals are always us government agencies, as well as private contractors like big pharma who of course, stands to benefit from any outbreak. for us, there's a, it's a trip to attendance. there is a clear trend, and these new capacitance that fall into the pentagon's area of interest later become pandemic. and american pharmaceutical companies become beneficial berries. 2 examples are in sections such as yellow fever, monkey box, and rift valley fever, and an outbreak of which was recorded in cairo at the sight of the us navies and military biological laboratory. deputy chief goes on to add that they have

documents which prove that the us military, biological presence on the african continent is growing significantly. we're talking about countries like sun, the gold gone, the nigeria again, the kenya, and many more. it's a very detailed report with facts provided to backup each and every claim. activities that must go size says are a forcing countries to give up their national sovereignty in the field of bias safety and makes them completely dependent on the united states. and of course, this comes as they states on the 5 drops of rushes, positioning, for example, on the african continent, strengthening significantly. and also the fact that russia and china have been working together to expose us activities in africa. and they go on to say, are forces is not just some wild, must go conspiracy or some in the west with life to think there have been less than publications talking about parts of these activities. something that they

themselves describe as a broader pencil goal initiative of biological espionage. so basically moscow is warning a topic and partners against such cooperation say not of course it leads to no good . no natural gas prices are surging on european markets ahead of unexpected shut. donovan fords via ukraine, not the end of the year kia has refused to expend a crumbs a deal to a pump russian gas to western consumers. despite multiple saying it is ready to keep it floor that says you are being gas reserves are reportedly being drained at the fastest rates in 2022. let's hear the view of r t contribution rachel marston on this ritual. good to see you. so why russia wants to keep pumping? europeans want to keep consuming ukraine is the one getting in the way i'm not potential closure. december 31st is approaching 5. 0

yeah. this you gas prices thing is just a roller coaster ride from how and hey i want to get off a long time ago, but doesn't look like it's gonna end any time soon. for the last couple of years, the us been relying on filling up its gas reserves, heading into the winter time bragging about it, how they have so much, and then applying the brilliant strategy and just pray that the weather won't be too cold and resulting too much withdrawal and well, it looks like they're loc may have finally run out this year because of world bank earlier this month was drawing attention to the fact that not only is the relatively overdrawn on their gas storage as a result of that much colder weather this year. causing price is despite, but they're also facing dwindling suppliers, heading into 2025. and the big reason being this kind of romeo and juliet, joint economic suicide pact that zalinski and the you have made to cut whatever was left of russian pipeline gas coming into the block. so e u countries have been battling the block on this,

trying to get it to their wash rains that purchased signaling for zalinski won't actually keep their country's economically afloat. ends with ease neither by the way, he has a very sweet gig where all the ready has to do is sit there and watch russian gas flow through the pipes across you crate and get paid by moscow to do it gets he doesn't want to stick it to put in by taking his money for transferring gas to europe. so now he's going to just stick it to the you by making them pay more of his bills. and that sounds like he wants to you to have to pay more for slovak here too. but um, having them cut off from russian pipeline. yes. um it's not something but prime minister robert feed, so it wants to have. and he really underscore that with a recent trip to moscow, a show that showed us we'll watch one more thing about slovak as well. and then there's been many questions from journalists about fits those trip to moscow. in fact, after our conversation in brussels is in the presence of all european leaders.

nothing surprises me anymore. and we are fighting for our lives on board if it's so is fighting for money and hardly for slovak is money saying these are shadow agreements with poor continued either trade of state interests or working for personal gain fits so mean did not want compensation for the service and he does not want to cooperate with the european commission side for some reason. he finds moscow more profitable. everyone in europe understands why there is no one who doesn't understand. we will see the little girls in each of the world bank estimates this month for this, that russian pipeline gas is cut off, which is expected to be early in the new year. then the entire block will have to figure out a way to compensate for the loss of about 5 percent more of its total supply. and they'll have to get it from liquefied natural gas suppliers like the u. s. which of proven comparatively much more expensive. and that's the kind of thing that fits so says he blind zalinski to try to grasp instead of his magic mass of 0 gas plus 0 gas equals well, who really cares?

because the tax payers will pay for whatever mass has to be cleaned up. anyway, my meeting today was a response to ukrainian president zalinski who answering my personal question on thursday, said that he was against any transitive gas through ukraine to our territory. the ukrainian president is also in favor of sanctions against russia's nuclear program . such attitudes, financially harm slovakia and threatened the electricity production in nuclear power plants in slovakia, which is unacceptable. so hungry is one country that is not in the same kind of a bind because it gets its russian gas transmitted through turkey and has resisted committing on that front. an act of self harm and cutting itself off as proof of love for zalinski. even though queen ursula just a couple of months ago was trying to browbeat for bon right off the ledge, chastising him in the you part of and about how he won't take the plunge and just dump russian gas voluntarily along with the rest of them. probably because you have

some really trust that she'd catch him if he's willing to jump. who really would at this point were over 2 years into all of this gas shortage talk. and they're still tormenting europeans with it. and on top of having refused to renounce on russian gas for hungry through turkey, through church stream or bonds. also trying to make a deal with moscow. and he has to keep the gas flowing through you, crated to beyond the end of the year and put in said earlier this week, he's not the one shopping these you countries. awesome economic class. how can i be? a crew of ukraine has got 2 of our guest supplies to europe and consumer city. on the one hand, it picks from their hands because only with the support of the west, including from europe, can it exist, not only to fight, but to exist. and at the same time, it creates problems for them. by cutting off the supply of our relatively cheap and gas to europe, there would be no such contracted work. everything is already clear. well then all

right, we will survive and guess problem with somebody to discuss problem with the producer now. well, hey, maybe the you edwards can just turn even more to places like talk to her to make up the shortfall and gas supply. oh, but only if they're willing to pay carbon emissions fines on that gas to the you as a sort. as you virtue signaling tax which cut are will probably be totally cool about right. it says that i lose 5 percent of my generated revenue by going to europe. i will not go to europe. i'm not bluffing. 5 percent of generated revenue of guitar. energy means 5 percent of generated revenue of the guitar state. this is the people's money. so i can not lose that kind of money, and nobody would accept losing that kind of money. excuse you. so don't you know, this is about ukraine, this is about love,

about peace. it's not about you and about money as the whiskey says, excuse you also excuse you for the fact that the you wants to know whether your gas is climate friendly and how big exactly it's carbon footprint is and whether that carbon footprint is maybe big enough to boot your behind and shake loose some spare change from your pockets. right now the you is desperate and hitting everyone out for gas handouts. but with the attitude of someone who's browsing a high end boutique on the shelves, are these a right here. and there's taking a 3 that is only should count r. t conjugate are rachel morris, and rachel, thank you. as a christmas tree has been set on fire in a greek orthodox majority time in syria, sparking i'd rage among the christian community videos circulating online shows, men torching the holidays. simple local media pointing the finger at estimates finders affiliated with the higher to we are. i'll show you how this organization

that recently seems power becomes just a week out there. government open fire and a brief orthodox church in the nearby city of trauma causing significant damage to the building. christians have responded by staging most protests and damascus. hundreds of demonstrators march through the streets of the syrian capital jumping slogan, praying and targeting forces the top of but charel assad government previously sold to protect for students and other minorities in the country. the community has seen and optic and religious attacks since h t. s. co risk took over large swedes of syrian territory. happy to say this christmas eve mother superior of the monastery of sin, james, the mutilated in syria. i guess more em. delacroix joins us life. thank you very

much. mother agnes oscar the locks of the all assad government. what changes have you seen in regards to protection or otherwise of the christian community? the when the 1st the for the we heard the about the you know, the phone of the pool or deliberation nice. you want to call it to find the pool and i was the contact. the result was pretty sure lead the of course they didn't know what was happening and if there were any to be the fee it. but afterwards they that the groups they were coming and had to serve. so for the the order or the orientation to take care of both minorities. so that's what we learned in the beginning.

and then uh, some delegates from those groups, the main, the, the h t s. it came to visit randomly, which is pretty true indeed there's uh, in the pool in, in the home uh, in the damascus. never said this or uh, no, despite the doors, the woods of securing our fields. uh, as you, as you were saying, uh, we have the being like targeted by different ways of discrimination. and of these understanding of what creation seem bones, especially in the these are the,

the name of the christmas eve. yes. and one over a guess actually on the program earlier said that your ups actions on behalf of christians in syria may give them relative security. come i put it to you. mother agnes. how do you sell the protection? what? what help does the christian community currently receive from the west? my d. uh we uh i have uh never received the paper from the west. uh uh, i am talking on a pallet to good lesson to the contrary. we have always faith, especially during those years, is that it was even before to be done for us to talk about the persecution of cushions. i remember what happened in mind who would ask for the

example where we head monitor was that what a kid by hatred of that face. uh, and they are no costs you. good. uh, so the unmarked years. and i remember that uh, in europe. uh, when i would uh give my testimony the people, the people but those politics so would not be very happy. so i yeah, i wonder how is it was not a thing to secure the life of christian in the bus is oh no, i find a big building to secuity when the treating we use the, you know, duty is which is to cost today as

a to these organizations, you know, it's, it's a situation like this piece of the new situation and we, we, we don't rely on the dixon from the west. and i really didn't see, you know, the, then us star, it sees as they are in syria. have said christmas will be a holiday for government workers across the country. how do you tick statements like that to come the new leadership? will they act in, in, in protection of christian culture at all? do you foresee look to the, to day there is the know, there are no government the employees because there is only a kind of a template attempt for the,

the government from the h t s. it's a 100 percent h t. s. government. and now we know what are the principles of, of h t s, we can even study it in through university. those plans coupons that do not know h t s to apply this kind of favor to creation. know if there would be a government more inclusive, it means that is chosen all of the different components of the city and society. we would, you know, be secure that this might become a key because it has always been the reality in syria and give today to

as it is in the balance, for example, not him keeping ease. i am not seeing me. so today there is no employee use because the services of the gods have them in our networking the, there is a, there is no state entity to the we are waiting. so that the, the new groups that are in control and we beat we separated estate. and so through this we will see if yes or no, not on the us. but the, everybody, we good to spot well for the specter and of acknowledgement in the city and what they don't know what they would call it. but i am uh way i'd call you like the city and the republic or the city in caught me. and just as you're

speaking there as well another, i guess where we were looking at pictures of a large christmas tree being, being burnt, being destroyed, and splitting this purportedly at doing, doing not in a greek orthodox majority, time and insults as well as come against christians we know how um and this could this be for minority communities in syria. how are people in your church feeling right now to lace? and we see that there is a security, at least the size that we can say is if there is in security. and this guy and the of the attempt to of a condition, you know, is not the only 2 but a material and the 3 it is burdening, i would appreciate it. i suppose it's

a burning of a face. it's burdening with joy. it's burdening, you know, the fees of the christmas. me is the an activity of our lord. jesus christ. it is it less for me for the us? it's an instant. so uh, i would have, uh, you know, how is it someone who said, he's in control of the situation with a give a statement with any statement. uh, we uh, you know, in the most the debbie but in sort of thing and as always, uh my, uh my, um, experience in celia is that this see the reality is always forgot in the media and they speak. what they want to ship to show is that would

be, you know, interesting i am talking about domestically media. what is interesting for them, but what the people of the lee and syria i'm leaving mean doesn't matter. it's not on the for the commission that have been a lot of aggravation against other minorities you see. so we are not in the security until to day. we hope that the in the future there will be an improvement and the is that we will go to uh, to uh, you know, to the core. yeah. of the building of celia to the core principles of the building of and then what could i see because everybody was, you know, wanting to see find i need a democracy coming to see the.
