the, the big weaving, edit the said moment for gaza, full pallets time, but what they try to find for some parents to be happy as people around the world and joyfully observe christmas in jesus his birthplace. bethlehem celebrations are overshadowed by the grief of fellow palestinians in gaza. well in syria, a christmas tree in a largely orthodox city is set on fire reportedly by h t. s. link this woman that's for mass outrage among christians to get reaction from missouri and montessori official who says the nation has been failed and never receive a degree in the hand foot from the west. we have always faith,

especially during those years. it is that it was fun for the be done for us to talk about the secure fashion of christians and of the european union. the places energy in gridlock was rapidly depleting reserves and new gas supplies threatened by lot of resilience. his decision to cut off the means of transit to his neighboring allies. the live in moscow. you're watching archie international. i'm rachel ruble. we're bringing you the top new stories from around the world's christmas is a very special day for billions of believers, and especially so in bethlehem where the story of jesus began. but this december, for the 2nd years subdued celebrations in the west bank city, are overshadowed by the ongoing war in does up as well as is really raids across

the palestinian territories. ortiz where you have an ocean of reports from the sacred city. we are a best let him metalli's student sits in the occupied. westbank believed to be the birthplace of jesus christ. then for additional knew, of course, the heart of christmas celebrations for millions and millions of questions around the world. but tonight, it's hard to find any sign of passivity. here the manger square behind me usually dominated by a towering bright elite. beautiful christmas trees fence. there are no tree, no lights, no decorations. typically the square is full of vendors selling st food, a gates children running around 2 rooms singing carols, taurus, so clean in this period of the holidays. now it's all gone for the 2nd year in a row, bethlehem has cancelled as christmas celebrations. and the reason of this name they wore in garza and has cost

a dark shadow of palestinians in the west bank. and here in bethlehem who say gas was all like family to them. brothers and sisters whose suffering is deeply shared . church leaders and local officials cancel facilities as an act of solidarity with those and guys, endearing, unimaginable hardship. with more than 45000 lives lost in the palestine and slave of thousands and thousands more wounded or missing. the grief is in tens earlier, and the catholic church is less than patron who is attending the midnight mess at the church of the tv to to night. he visits a gaza and here's what he said upon his return from god's vice i also so so you are so we on so

nice of the war to cancel our life and that's the biggest reason us 3 i was hearing best left him 2 years ago during the 1st christmas off the cove and low downs and the square, i have to tell you and the say to look very different back then we're finally invest. let him is mother, mary would make it here today. she would find the say to reach the decorated for christmas and full of celebrating crowds for the 1st time in 3 years. the town believe to be the birthplace of jesus accepts christians from all over the globe earlier his really prime minister benjamin netanyahu addressed wish turns world wide thing, king panful, supporting israel's fight against what he called the forces of evolve. we spoke

with some people here about div is speech. palestinians refused to talk on camera for security reasons, adding it's not hard for ideas to come here and arrest them. but they told us they believed nathan, yahoo is the able one. some foreigners who share their vision allowed us to report them, is trying to get the christian votes from like the western world, from your phone, from the us. but also like the christians here and they don't feel safe, they don't feel like they can celebrate christmas and the way that they should be able to as a christian, i believe in fees. and i believe i know 1000 goals. i b as in love because the district that tells us that the love you, your neighbors love yourself. i just realized that the only lights and the square of flashing from police cars security is very tight with more officers visible here than civilians. the atmosphere is very tens reflecting the road to security

situation all across the west bank that is marked by escalating violence and defending divisions. takes the northern city of jeanine, for example, a law on time center of resistance to is really off to patient. that is an golf in conflict with questions this time ranging between forces loyal to the palestinian authority and milton grove sing for the mass and his lumnick jihad who accused the po colorful rating with age row palestinian authorities respond to his deadly raids . gunfire and explosions have become daily routine, their living residents for up to the cycle of fear and violence and beyond security . the west bank economic crisis is deepening. unemployment has claimed and relatively above 25 percent. and many families are struggling to make ends meet and some parents here earlier told us they didn't bring the children to the square these here as they can not even afford a balloon. the cancellation of christmas celebrations has put another burden on the

local economy, which is obviously have a lead depending on torres, some hotels, a m team. in the one we are saying tonight we are the only guess shops shot at the end. the mood is one of despair. it's going to be hard, especially here. because if we, if we came to here as a citizen of the, with the him on the, i see i don't the separation from people from different the countries it today. yeah. i think nearly multiple years, we are not so very thing to hear from because that's do wish. and so i yeah, i just wish to finish this war because the still isn't the is misery. and i, i hope people came here again next year, maybe uh, on saturdays uh, with the people here. definitely not in the mood to celebrate this year. not last year. it was one of my favorite periods. it's throughout the whole year. i would

look forward to this period because it would be so full, you would see so many people of again, it's itself so spiritual and so celebratory is today. it's empty. i know, at least for me, i can't imagine myself celebrating now, not any time soon. so i can imagine that most people are feeling very similarly. i mean, good little bit so that you could see the entrance to the church inside these walls . christmas isn't completely from boston. this is white, christmas survives and wide moments of prayer within the walls of the nativity church. the midnight mess has just started. hundreds of people have gathered inside already you can see they're lining the outside of trying to get in right now. how this thing is, some foreigners inside there, is this frank draw sense of peace, a stark contrast to the turmoil outside. and we can see people's faces all this

smiling and they're happy. so in this moment they're reading edit the said moments of gaza, full pallets tie, but what they tried to find for some courage to, to be able to hear the weight of gaza and the struggles across the westbank. all it is capable, get people gather lights and candles, whisper and prayers, hoping that next christmas maybe my bring and brightest story and of course to everyone. so the great thing tonight, mary merry christmas from bethlehem in palestine on turning now to syria where a christmas tree has been set on fire in a greek orthodox majority town, sparking outrage video online showed man torching the holiday symbol. local media have pointed the finger up fighters affiliated with the high out to where i'll some terrorist group that recently seized power. this comes just a week after gunman opened fire on

a greek orthodox church in the nearby city of hallmark has a significant damage to the building. christians have responded by staging mass protests in the mascot. hundreds of demonstrators march through the streets of the capital, tramping slogans and the carrying crosses a sobs toppled. government had previously sought to protect the various religious and ethnic minorities in the country. but since the h t s militants took over, there has been an uptick. and religious play, it motivated attacks my colleague, you know, neil spoke with the mother superior of the monastery of saint james, the mulay, mutilated in syria. agnes marian de la christ says it is a dark time for the nations christian community. a lucille, it says there is a security, at least that we can say is if there is in security and

this guy and the of the is attempt to of aggression. you know, he's not the, on the 2 bedroom, the material and the 3. it is burning, i would appreciate. i suppose it's a burning of a face. it's burning with joy. it's burdening, you know, the fees of the christmas to me is the key of a lot of these guys. is it less for me for the us? it's an insult, so i would have the, you know, how is it someone is it is in control of the situation. really the give a statement. and as always, my, my experience in celia is this celia and the entity is always for good in the media. the speak with the one wishes to show

is it would be, you know, interesting i am talking about domestically media with these interesting for them. but what the people of the lee and celia are leaving mean doesn't matter. it's not the only need for the commission that has been a lot of good news against other minorities. you see what, how does the christian community currently receive from the west might be, uh, we have never received a degree in the hey, but from the west to the contrary, we have always faith, especially during those years. is that the, it was the run for the be done for us to, to talk about the secure send of cushions. are you wonder how euro is it was not helping to secure the life of christian in the

past is how now are they going to secure it when the treating we use the, you know, h t s, which is the cost of good as a total risk organization, you know it's, it's a situation like to squeeze off for a new situation and we, we, we don't rely on the truck dixon from the west and early today to say it at least 15 people have reportedly been killed in air strikes, launched on afghanistan. pakistani security officials say the strikes were launched from a slum abad and carried out near the asked in pakistani border. the reports were

shared anonymously on the legs to, to target suspected terrorist height outs. the european gas reserves are a quarterly being drained at the fastest rates since 2022. that's well, natural gas prices are surging in european markets ahead of an expected shutdown of imports via the ukraine pipeline at your end, or to contribute to rachel. marston breaks down the numbers for the last couple of years, the u, as been relying on filling up its gas reserves, heading into the weather time, brightening about it, how they have so much, and then applying the bullying strategy and just pray that the weather won't be too cold and resulting too much withdraw. so e u countries i've been battling the block on this trying to get it to their washed brains. that purchased signaling for zalinski won't actually keep their countries economically afloat. and so is eas, neither by the way, he has a really 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. guess who 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 business. sure. sure. this will watch one more thing about slovakia. there's been many questions from journalists about fits those trip to moscow. in fact, after our conversation in brussels, in the presence of all european leaders, nothing surprises me anymore and we are fighting for our lives. and it fits so is fighting for money. and hardly for slovakia 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 slovaks, 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 the world bank estimates this month of 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 us, which of proven comparatively much more expensive. and that's the kind of thing that fits so says he's like zelinski 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 mess has to be cleaned up anyway. in 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 ukranian president is also in favor of sanctions against russia as 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 it's russian gas transit through turkey and has resisted committing on that front and active self harm and cutting itself off as proof of love for zalinski. 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. m t f. to keep the gas flowing through you crated to and is fruits and said last week, he's not the one shopping these you countries off and economic cliff. oh, great. and it be a crew of ukraine has cut off our guest supplies to european consumers. 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 gas to europe. there would be no such contract at all. everything is already clear. well then all right, we will survive. and guess problem was somebody of this. well hey,

maybe the you at worse can just turn even more to places like tucked are 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. if the cases 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 cannot lose that kind of money and nobody would accept losing that kind of money. 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, may be big enough to beat 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 shows that he's a right here in paris, i'm speaking to us from the hoc atari media consultants and mass communications. professor ally, all hey, you all said brussels has only itself to blame for the blocks energy crisis. a was the countries that have been relying on the category guys that the categories a has been surprised by the use of countries. busy requests to, to put the kind of a tower over 5 percent on the importing the category guys, also because of the limited the supply of guys over from russia because of the russian, the ukrainian, uh, the dispute, uh,

the europeans, uh, to get to a sufficient amount of guys to freight to encounter this severe winter and nothing gets to be compared to to the ocean. get us. uh, uh, gas, uh, very expensive. um the united states is uh, uh far away from uh, europe said your factory. so really we input our out of course done by the european and then of course, and we have not yet aware of what it is behind that to request your current in soldiers have removed the children from their families in the don't ask for a public forcing parents to follow and evacuate to western ukraine. residents of the ship, chunk of settlement were brought to safety by russian troops recently and confirmed their distressing experience. while they noted how differently soldiers from the 2

sides treated them in the old gym that's we lived in the same village. the military took us away, the russian military. we were treated differently by the other side, the ukrainians didn't treat as well. to put it mildly, they didn't consider us human, a tool. they called us gum. the net dogs, they just didn't treat us like humans. those who were taken by the recruiters and put into that cause where our locals from the next area. when they were dragged into the cause and basically throw it on the front line. so they were the ones at the front. but those fascist those lesson res, hold at the back. if parents were not willing to travel closer to west and ukraine and that territory, and then they simply took the children from them. after all, what kind of parents would leave the child behind? they also had to leave just a few military and aid was not provided by the ukrainian military. instead, it was provided by volunteers. the military did not do anything to help anyone,

any money. they could just hit any person with a car and drive away with impunity. and absolutely no one did anything about it. the children were moved down, a kid was run over, a woman was hit with impunity and the driver would just leave. a similar tragedy has occurred in the nearby city of salita. try me a state council, a deputy victor on his off says ukrainian soldiers confirmed they killed a child. busy during a city right on the stage on, on august 22nd 23, the lights were turned off and the city and the electricity of course, went out everything. the water, the sewage, was completely turned off. all power went out and the ukrainian military went around the city. they tried forcibly taking the children away. the children were sitting here with those and could stay here in the basement. so they told me how they saw people being killed. people came out and were killed when the russian military came, they moved into the same house only on the other side. and when they moved in, they went down to the basement and found these neo nazis troops. so they offered

them to surrender, but the ukrainians refused. and opened fire. 2 of them were killed, 2 were taken prisoner, and then they said they had killed a young boy at russian forces took control of the don't ask for public city of salita vi in october, video, documented the ruined the buildings and other consequences from the attacks. but you print in forces and again to victor and solve who describes how ukraine is trying to place the blame on russia for destroying a kindergarten and other civilian infrastructure in the city. it does it show the cause that just the let's just go here. this is okay, so this was the, this is more proof of the neo nazi aggression of the ukranian authorities. this is seely dubose kindergarten and when our army entered, our troops liberated the domestic republic, city of c, lead, volvo, the kindergarten was still intact. but in retaliation, the ukranian authorities for the troops hit the place with rockets and artillery

through completely destroying it. and when they shouldered at home, they claimed it was done by russian troops. but i say again that the kindergarten was intact when our people came here, not this is the result of the activities of ukrainian authorities. what is it that did you want to lead to the roof of google street? of the city of silly dover? practically the center of the city. there's a building behind me, a 9 story residential building, the western side, the facade faces west of the place where the ukrainian troops entered. luckily, the yeah, you can clearly see there was an attack on a residential building. next to me see, this is a blast crater. the building is literally 10 meters away. this is an indicator that our troops did not attack from the eastern side before that, that's impossible. this is more evidence that ukrainian troops are getting residential areas to discuss. the next building a go up, we go go 10,

direct impacts here. you can see the holes from direct showing up the building. it's got more 9 story buildings behind me with the same story. yeah, this is proof of the genocide and nazi some of the ukranian authorities and military and we've all done. yeah. i think the us government has wasted a trillion dollars in spending this year. that's the bombshell claim from a publican centered around paul who's published his annual report on where tax payers cash has been going. who's to blame for our crushing national debt? every body this year, members of both political parties in congress voted for massive spending bills filled with subsidies for under performing industries, continued military aids to crane and the controversial climate initiatives. as congress spends to reward its favor to pet projects, the american taxpayers are forced to pay through high prices and crippling interest rates. the same big spenders teamed up yet again to continue sending americans hard

earned money to foreign countries, funding and list wars all while still ignoring our wide open southern border and our mountain, the debt will continue to pile even higher. all right, let's drill down the numbers. the senator says, the one that trillion dollars of government waste includes $13000000.00 for assessing me. street type show in a rock 12000000 for a pickle ball. sports complex in las vegas over 10000004 inch spearman. so infecting cats with co bed and then telling them, and nearly 5000000 for you print in influencers to promote so called public affairs . and it's all funded by us tax payers who had no say and how their money was spent . we discussed the prospects for accountability with german american economist, thomas pen. how does this decide type of monitoring system that we have this dis, dollar based system uh, with the united states at the center, as the issuer of the,

you know, we're, we're one reserve currency. they're all accounted, all he gets lost is just so much more as it gets induced under such that you know, what type of monetary regime where the money can be, but essentially printed. it will then hand it out um, but you know, it's why we got the growth of companies like, like, amazon, these, these, these, these big gigantic google, uh, american multinationals. they're able to take over the entire american market. and you know, other markets as well because they have easy access to this printed up funny money and it leads its kind of like, uh, if everybody's at the, it's like a big party and everybody's at the bar, but it's getting drugs. the federal reserve is the is the, is the really the little bar tender handed out all just free money and everybody's getting liquored up on it. and, and it doesn't matter where you spend that because for all truck is having a good time. but the party is slowly coming to an end, and it's going to be a big problem for the united states. all right, well do stay with us here on our t international. i'll be back with much more news and just over half an hour. i'll

see you then. bye bye. the . the facade is gone. now what, what about syria? is it gone to?

it would seem so outside powers are carving up the country. what was in international proxy war against damascus is turning into an international civil war . and is there a place for the syrian people the the june 22nd 1941. seasoned before everyone in the country on the radio announcement that was begun. fios fighting was already ranging. whereas legitimately to disagree or go to the

who wants to settle with you and you are old enough to the to so what i was looking at the social cost that much really, really great. additionally, not even less but he escaped. could you please be? are we paying you want to see bill of somebody that actually older was a global know me on to? we're moving just to do to get each physician and going by the other little was let me move for me. not this style or not. so i'll get away the way now my shoes near this to and younger than that is not, is still not moving, but the mercedes due to send up doris according yeah. so good. the risk of so to me with new pretty fast it's just small sort of daily impression you've seen with what the the us as piano is just the.
