had been detained by russian security services for an attempted car bombing attack in the moscow region. the suspects confessed that they were coordinated by ukrainian forces. russia has also been shocked by a series of sabotage incidents carried out by civilians who have been duped by scammers, reportedly from ukraine, and what appears to be a highly coordinated campaign. a number of citizens have been persuaded to set fire to police cars as well as government and the bank offices are to senior correspondence broadcast. you have dig deeper, the kinds scam is call centers, make up the country's lives pro for the black sport scouts. know of a country in the world comes close, i nearly pension is whoever you are a but russian and all over the world stem, the life savings. so the june of a billions of dollars a year when you have new more of the new ethics,

it doesn't matter who is a big to me, is a pensioner or a kid? the, every yeah, ukrainian scott was pulling files on the boat and threats to russian schools in kindergarten. zillow closes, i suppose it the free time between scamming vulnerable pension is it's hard to stop . technically, what it takes is a so called same box, literally a box the can house store. so he would hundreds of a legal sim cards and allow you premium co centers, which they're all believes to be hundreds of to make direct cleans the victims in, in germany or in britain,

new russia. the russian law enforcement of the seas. 320000, a legal sim cards. the owners and operators rested, fixing serious jail time. but as things get worse on the front blinds for you, right. this guy, most of time to recruiting kids, teenagers to become kayla's the largest moment i last. why were detained for attempting to blow up

a car? 7 suspect it'd be detained is an attempt to cons. carbone into a vehicle soon by the head of a russian defense manufacturer. 3 of them. mine is under age promised $5.00 to $10000.00 to kill somebody. what is the result of an after the operation? the suspects when detained as they belong to the call booms. all the cell sticks involved have been charged, but it always starts to the victim. is genji led us to savannah, that track and eventually to mother loomed literally from the 3. but we were detained while preparing to blow up a cost, which we had tracked before hand. so usually they asked us to drive to the parking lot and located land cruiser, proud of what dean called me and said he had put together an improvised explosive

device. that's when i realized that our handler was involved with ukraine. ukraine makes no secret of it. they have on, on numerous occasions, admitted to assassinations, of, of journalists and activities, and politicians, blowing up civilians. according to you prayed all over the world, is neither terrorism nor crazy, what they call terrorism. we call liberation. and this didn't happen because i went crazy and started killing people in moscow. all i will say is that we've been killing russians and will continue killing russians all over the world until ukraine's complete victory. it's things like lease scabbing and the bombings that are the way to americans and europeans up regarding the nature of you. peyton's rule is the spot, the, the propaganda or yeah, i could see and then the b, b, c. and i'm countless other outlets of school on your side to time and time again,

people, people stop and pause to find the gas about ukraine's lakes of stones. they all ask themselves the simple question, how one of could these be? the good guys christmas is a very special day for billions of believers and especially so on bethlehem, where the story of jesus began. but this december, for the 2nd years subdued celebrations, and the westbank city are overshadowed by the ongoing war in gaza as well as is really raids across the palestinian territories. are these maria, from 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. and traditionally, of course, the part 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 3 photo 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 here and there rose, bethlehem has cancelled as christmas celebrations, and the reason of this name they wore in garza and has cost a dark shadow open colleagues can use in the west bank and here invest, let him who say gas phones all like family to them. brothers and sisters who's suffering is deeply shared. church leaders and local officials council facilities as an act of solidarity with those engaging during unimaginable hardship with more than $45000.00 lives lost in the palestinian 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 night. he visits a gaza and here's what he said upon his return to the from the 5. so i also so so you also, we also mentioned the size of a sudden of the war to cancel our life and that's the biggest piece. most 3 i was hearing best left him 2 years ago during the 1st christmas of to cove and loved 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 this thing 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 worldwide banking band for supporting israel's fight against what he called the forces of evolved. we spoke with some people here about the the 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 evil one. some foreigners who share their vision allowed us to report them, is trying to get the christian bolts 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 you know, 1000 goals. i b as in love because i discussed that tells us that 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 tense reflecting the road a security situation all across the west bank. that is marked by escalating violence and defending divisions. takes the northern city of janine, for example, a law on time center of resistance is wally off to patient. that is an golf in conflict with questions this time ranging between forces loyal to the palestinian authority and milton groups including the mass and his lumnick. jihad will accuse the po, collaboration with age row. fairly stimulus forward to respond with deadly raids.

gunfire and explosions have become daily routine. they're leaving residents for us to the cycle of fear and violence and beyond security. the westbank 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 early and told us they didn't bring the children to the square this year 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 and teams in the water. we are staying tonight. we are the only gas shops shot at the end. the mood is one of the disparate. it's going to be hot. it especially here because it, every year i came to here as a citizen of the with the him. on the i see i don't the separation, the people from different the countries it today. i think in

nearly multiple years, we are not so very thing to hear from cause us to wish. and so i yeah, i just wished to finish this was because the still isn't the is misery on die. 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, again, it's itself so spiritual and so celebratory. and 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 moved a little bit so that you could see the entrance to the church inside these walls.

christmas isn't completely for boston. this is weird. 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 is teen 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 as a sub moment regardless of how this tie. but what they try to find force encourage 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, whispering prayers, hoping the 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 turning now to syria where a christmas tree has been set on fire in a greek orthodox majority town, sparking outrage. video online showed men torching the holiday symbol local media have pointed the finger of fighters affiliated with the hat to rashawn terrorist group that recently seized power. this comes just a week after government open fire on a greek orthodox church. the nearby city of her mom causing significant damage to the building. christians have responded by staging mass protest in damascus. hundreds of demonstrators march through the streets of the capital chanting slogans and the carrying crosses assad top of government had previously sought to protect

various religious and ethnic minorities in the country. but since the h t s militants took over, there has been an uptick in religiously motivated attack. my colleague, you know, neil's spoke with mother superior of the monastery of saint james and mutilated in syria. agnes, miriam de la crisis. it's a dark time for the nation's 1st and community we feel is a cities in security, at least the best that we can say is it varies in security. and this guy and the of the is attempt to of aggression. you know, he's not the only 2, but the material in the a 3 it is burdening i would appreciate, i suppose it's a burning of a frame. it's burning with joy. it's broadening, you know, the fees of the christmas. me is the key of a lot of these guys. is it less for me for the us?

it's an incense. so i have the, you know, how is it someone is a teasing, come through and of the situation. really the give a statement and as always, my, my experience in syria is this. see me in the any t is always for good. in the media. they speak what they want to ship to show is it would be, you know, the testing. i am talking about the midst of the media with these interesting for to dance with what the people of the lee and celia i'm leaving. mean doesn't matter . it's not the only for the creation that have been a lot of dilutes against other minorities. you see what, how does the christian community currently receive from the west?

my idea we have never received the people from the west 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 wonder how your, oh is it was not a helping to secure the life of christian in the past is how now are they going to secure it when they are treating we use the, you know, h t s which is to cost you good as a total risk organization, you know it's, it's a situation like this piece of the new situation and

we, we, we don't rely on the pro dixon from the west and early today to state the us government has wasted a trillion dollars in spending this year. that's the bombshell claim from republican senator ran a paul who's published his annual reports on where tax payers cash has been going. it was to blame for our crushing national debt. everybody this year, members of both political parties in congress voted for massive spending bills filled with subsidies for under performing industries, continued military aides to crane and controversial climate initiatives. as congress spends to reward its favored 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 part. let's drill down on the numbers. the senator says, the one trillion dollars of government waste includes $13000000.00 for us to estimate street type show in a rock $12000000.00 for a pickable sports complex in las vegas. over 10000000 for experiments infecting cats with co bed and then killing them, and nearly 5000000 for ukrainian influencers to promote so called public affairs. that's all funded by us tax payers who had no say in how their money was spent. we discussed the prospects for accountability with german american economist thomas pen. this is the site type of monitoring system that we have. is this, that dollar based system uh, with united states that the center is the issue or of the, you know, we're,

we're one reserve currency. they're all accountable. 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 well and hand it out. um, well, you know, it's why we got the growth companies like, like, amazon these, these, these, these big gigantic google 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 to, it's kind of like a, it's everybody's, it's like a big party and everybody's at the bar. but it's getting drunk, the federal reserve is the, is the, is the really the bar tender hand and have all this free money and everybody's getting like it up on it. and it doesn't matter where you spend that because for a truck and 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. before we go, a quick recap now of the breaking news. we're following here at

r t a commercial aircraft has crash, landed, and southwest has expand with at least 62 passengers and 5 crew members on board of reports say more than 20 people have been taken to the hospital with rescuers. of still working at the scene, according to local media, the plane was circling in the air before the crash and sense an emergency signal. the azerbaijan airlines flight took off from the capital box and was on route to growth me in the southern russia. the flight plan was reportedly change due to a collision with a flock of birds. okay. we are continuing to monitor the store and will bring you further developments throughout the day as we get back and do stay with us here on our t international. in the meantime, as always, so you can go to our website r t dot com for the very latest breaking news. and by the,
