i wouldn't, you know, it, russians enjoy more freedom than european. that's the view of a tyler brown, c o s e highlights the media crack down as a short sighted policy, the still them got them. this is our to international. i of michael watching a happy new year from moscow. now head on the program, we've got the latest news and views from around the well then the recap of the top stories, the shape for the 20, for the it's, for the 25,

all across the russia had to ring in the new year of corresponding to my, my, each i was at the heart of moscow and i chronic red square. we are at the heart of moscow in the red square, and yes, well, it is close to the public and for security reasons that did not stop people from coming. now to celebrate then as i'm speaking, there's a huge crowds right next to me. i enjoy in the lights of the city and really enjoy this magical i miss your of this a holiday. now, another big spot to celebrate in moscow is you can hear the tears probably, but another good spot to celebrate the new year in moscow is the how far where again, a huge numerous activities would be a waiting people there like concert stairs then shows now of course when we're talking about ross shops, that's a big country, which means that there's more than one time zone here, there's a rush, i have 11 time zones, and in the eastern part of the country while here in moscow,

the pluck has just struck midnight in the eastern part of the country they started celebrating 9 hours ago. meanwhile, the city of calling in glad in the west of the country, is still awaiting the clock to hit midnight to start it's celebration. now talking about the very 1st residence in ross side that welcome to the new years, some of them are in of legible stuff, the city of legible stock. and wallet is freezing. cold though therapy will still went out to celebrate and embrace the best of spirits of this holiday. again, on top of that, in the city of the codes where it's minus 51 degrees celsius, that did not stop people from going out to celebrate the change. the weather is perfect, but minus 51 degrees celsius, like those to me it's wonderful. so just what you need to feel the winter. i am very happy that i came here. i feel the support from all my friends. this is the

best city for celebrating the new year. have some, this is the city that illuminates the 1st christmas tree in our country here. cool . this is where our russian winter begins. tell miss codley gatherings and celebrations were also planned in the city of san petersburg. the 2nd largest city in a rush shop, but a part of the palace palace as square in the city has been secure due to a suspicious object. now, overall, the grandiosity of this holiday is really not a surprise, because if you know anything about ross, i, you would know that the new year is the main celebration in the country where people gather with their friends with their families and their loved ones and share a feast of traditional food and exchange gifts, and you can definitely really feel the excitement here. and i would like to take

this opportunity to wish everyone watching and everyone at the headquarters a very happy new year. how much data is really huge. and here, now russian comfortable dogs also celebrated the new year from all of it's a boy, they international space station, the west, all the best off s legs. that's what i see. and so we sincerely congratulate you from the international space station for the upcoming year 2025. was alive and seeing what we hope that all of you spend the holidays with your family and friends . because there's sort of this killing me, a bit of or hundreds of kilometers away from our common home planet earth. and we asked for not to realize there can be a lack of communication with our relatives and friends. but even in space, we feel the love and support of our families. although we still have a few months to go before we meet with them again. we wish you peace, prosperity and wellbeing, happy new year. and here are some views from other eastern countries already

in the new year. 2025, as they celebrate with file was in australia, more than the median people fluffs. just it'd be hard to see a slide show above the cities iconic. oprah house, nearby new z, then gab crowds around sky tod tullocks building in the country. i didn't saw highland and there were a wide spread musical performances and fireworks. and the new year has come to the united arab emirates. crowds gather didn't do by for an evening appointment. susan celebrations near the well as largest prize creeper the booge gully. 5 now 2024 was highlighted with significant these items for the weld, as well as for russia, including the presidential elections and may just summit. the audience martin, of course i looks back at some of them once or twice before was the year that lot i'm have to it's improved once again that he is popular and here it's just

a cause. landslide victory of 87 percent. and the presidential elections, which coincided with the 10th anniversary of the crime, is really an invitation with russia was a tough pill for the west to swallow. the of course it was right. what else can they say? if the results don't match the narrative, they're selling to the masses. so they start justifying their warped perception by focusing on the lack of credible opponents all the while amplifying the voices of the minority to one to the different candidates when he had been the only serious candid us. now how's the system and office offer lum slide 87 percent of the vote? well, that was defiance in the form of large cues at some polling stations in russia. seating the cool of allies of the late opposition lead to alexi in the fall,

and the polling stations have been set on fire while belive boxes are being filled with green di signs of anger as an intellectual system. that is need the free no fair. remember that woman in line said, you know why we're here? they were here. yeah, we supporting, you know, the into the call by and if i need to do that, they think that if i called latimer boots in a dictate or enough times and question, the legality. of the elections that eventually people will believe it, that's the slides over whelming evidence showing that the majority of russians actually support his decisions and so called all 3rd terry and hold on power. it is a completely unique result for president putin, such a high level of public support means have fleet victory for a candidate. and of course, it's the most eloquent confirmation of the support the people of our country have

for the president and consolidation around his power off the west was banking on the russians turn, and on vladimir puts, in primarily because of the conflict with ukraine. no one likes confrontation, and no one likes to see their countrymen die. but as the kid regimes mattress people up the street and sends them into battle, the process of volunteering to go fight. hundreds of thousands have signed contracts so far and that number keeps growing. little just but you might possessions almost as your name. some people understand what we are fighting for. they help the front line soldiers every day, more than a 1000 people signed contracts to join the military. social guarantees for these people should be strengthened. the mortgage system demonstrates high efficiency. last year, over 300000 of our man came to sign contracts this year. it's already over 430000. and this flow is not stopping closer thanks to such a popular attitude. we are seeing breakthroughs on the frontlines. there was hope

that the special minutes to operate, so what they come to within staff wards, but it didn't like was with their sanctions. they won't have to make the russian people angry enough poor enough to revolt. but nothing unites russians more than the was trying to bring them to their knees. and as a result, russia has a much stronger than ever before. the of the economy survived the initial assault from the extreme sciences imposed since once it's $1.00 to $2.00. and it's the european countries struggling now suffering from the boomerang effects of their actions so much for all their forecasts. now here's a little reminder. the world bank estimated that russell's data people tank by 11.2 percent by the end of 2020, to the end result just to point one percent in 2023. the russian economy was supposed to grow by a meager 0.3 percent. according to the i mass,

the reality. 3.6 percent by the end of the year that had to revise their pessimist, the forecast for 2024 projected even higher economic growth. the european commission has also operated the outlook almost as g d. p growth from 2.9 percent to 3.5 percent. it's one say $24.00 with more growth expected the common years. what's more, russia has seen a record low unemployment rate of 2.3 percent. that was dream, the rough estimates, each of the feet on sale, they will face with the stark reality that the country is literally not collapsing . but growing with, i'm going to do this year according to calculations by our own and international experts, the euro zones, economic growth would be somewhere around one percent. russia's economic growth last year was 3.6 percent. this year it would be around 4 percent. talk about robin, but it's all true. look at the numbers, they speak for themselves. and it's very clear that the west underestimated flight

them are boots and, and the importers of the russian market for europe and the colonies. since only a quarter of western companies actually left the country, and russia isn't strapped for cash either. it's actually helping out others by launching a financial support fund for investment projects in africa in 2025 to the 2. no $2000000000.00 minimum. which brings us to the next points, the of all these sciences and c and longer and actually push suassa to become better by expanding. and so the flight is friendships with all the partners around the world who are very eager to do business with moscow and reshape of global power dynamics. something was became crystal clear from russia,

a host of the 16th brick summit. the the, the west basically pushed suassa and the global south into each other's arms. and they are now focused on building a union reflecting the new reality of a multi paula world, which doesn't mix business with politics, something which became evident when you cry and tried to get an international financial watch, though, so blacklist russia only to be met with objections from brooks power houses like

china in the south africa, and even the persian gulf, one or 2 of the shows us once again that the west quest to defeat russia and stay on top is looking more, more like mission impossible. but let's look at the stories now as the west crux, down on a new media that god forbid, gives a russian perspective and doesn't until the liberal lines. according to the see you or tell around people living in russia actually have the most freedom of access to certain russian media has been restricted in the e u under dsa sanctions laws. meanwhile, all western media telegram channels were made freely accessible in russia. who would have thought that in 2025 russian telegram users would enjoy more freedom than european. now the, you band this very in network, our t international as well as rushes channel one television, and the news agency re, i know most, the,

not them that movie reflects the use on building suppression of diverse narratives . and it's in tolerance towards the russian perspective. father demonstrating its inclination to controlled information rather than not polled freedom of speech. moscow said that you use action will not go on and said, and it will turn to international organizations for an educated response that we've heard. so i'm greg simmons at independence political research a bit. he's in sweden and he said to europe is resorts to censorship because so it is losing dates and mason, we're working through the font. so the rules based on the by like their own rules. and the only reason they will be doing this is because of the losing view of somebody was so the tri state of the information. so that it receives those very cheap and not very credible wisdom propaganda because the

communication is coming from the globe themselves, including russia, a just to pretty much handle the gulf is ridiculous. speak with one voice, which is or, well, the limit self ends, but they just repeat the same time narrative and we made those were the result the same. so sure, and it states the ship is the very last resort to do when everything else is filed. and of course, the sales, the ship itself will ultimately file well, the reasons you said. busy less credible leslie and people can get around these things. now, looking back, you wasn't too long ago that french police arrested that telegrams seal pablo drum for more on this here is our to contribute to our rachel match. didn't from paris with the details. the end of summer breakouts can be particularly dramatic, especially if they have romances with the president of france and men reading back

whole apparently. at the end of august 2024, russian born telegram founder, a pebble gerad, who had extensive personal contact with maximus, was nabbed by french authorities as he landed at harris's liberal j airport on a private plane. so much for the romantic stop over in paris that he had planned with his girlfriends. instead, he was whisked away and charged with complicity and crimes ranging from drug trafficking and broad to pedo criminality. and he's now stuck in france and out on bail pending trial. it's all such a big change from when he was being regularly wined and dined by the french president himself starting in 2018 mccaul, even personally arrange for durham to get french citizenship and 2021 for services rendered to france. there is report of the talk of moving telegram to france, which never actually happened. so it's not even clear which services he rendered to france other than lip service to michael over champagne and floods off french media

outlets and intelligent sources have said that it was considered at seduction operation of sorts to flip unintelligence target that basically went wrong for lack of follow through and ultimately not home, didn't get what he wanted control over an asset telegram which he openly has raised about and used himself. so then came the psycho ex girlfriend routine, a possible door off left russia when the government tried to control his social media company telegram, but in the end it wasn't prudent. who arrested him for allowing the public to exercise free speech. it was a western country abiding the administration ally and enthusiastic nato member that locked him away. the rest of the door off as an assault on the basic human rights of speech and association. i am surprised and deeply saddened that my crown has to send it to the level of taking hostages as a means for gaining access to private communications. it lowers, not only france,

but the world drive has always been adamant about governments not being able to just exploit telegraph for criminal investigative purposes when russian wanted to do that, there was no end of opposition from the usual proponents of democracy. the image we call on representatives of the united nations, the council of europe, the organization for the cooperation and security in europe, the european union, the united states, and other concerned governments to scrutinize and publicly challenge russia's actions in order to uphold the fundamental rights to freedom of expression and privacy, both online and offline, a stipulated and binding international agreements to which russia is a party. so b, u, of which for us as a part of course, was really concerned about russia bullying telegram when that temporarily band, under the pretext that they were crimes being committed on there and wanted access under that pre text. but when france actually arrests, the founder and what looks like an attempt to pressure him into handing over

control, citing similar crimes. not so much interest there. sounds like you're off himself, actually believes that the west would be so much different then russia was living in russia a few years ago of this uh, printer. uh, all of this uh, activities were used as a pretext to monitor the communication off of russian citizens. and then in many cases, used to suppress this. it is no developed country blocks messages for refusing to given cribson case to intelligence agencies, abolishing the right to privacy is a cure that is more dangerous than the disease itself. well, yes, he's fighting for francis digital future now and the west, even though he's already caved and has agreed to hand over ip addresses and phone numbers of users upon valid legal request. whatever that is, it's not russia that's making him check in with authorities twice. would be pending

trial like a jealous girlfriend who blows up your phone with text messages when you're out for the night. guessing figure that may be the worst that could happen in the west is that he'd be yelled at by his, derek will public officials. mister zachary, are you into companies before us? i know you don't mean it to be so, but you have blood on your hands. you have a product that's killing people. 37 percent of teenage girls between $13.15. were exposed to unwanted nudity in a week on instagram, and you knew about it. who did you buy or senator? this is why we're building all. what did you firewalls center that's i don't think that that's who did you fired? i'm not gonna answer that. i could use as i or anybody, right? you didn't take any significant actors. it's instagram also display the following

warning screen. the individuals who were searching for child abuse material be these results may contain images of child sexual abuse and then you'll give users to choices get resources or see results. anyway, a mr soccer, but what the hell were you thinking? there's one big clearing difference between zachary bergen dropped though. it's dr . berger's already acting like a u. s. government assets, he admitted in a letter to the house judiciary committee in august at the bottom, administration asked facebook to center cove in 19 contents, including humor and satire, and that his team's actually complied with that request. he also said that the f b, i warrant mehta and facebook about russian just information on the biden. families dealings with perez, my. the energy company were 100 biden's served on the board and ukraine,

which ultimately turned out not to be russian fake news. even though facebook treated as such at the time and agreed to demote the story. so the white house has dr. birds direct line, clearly wonder how badly they want drugs. well, according to his former p r guy, pretty badly. sometimes i think the attack is coming. neither from the european union nor from france, it's most likely an attack from the united states, which has been after people do are off for a long time and door off as always talked about it. and he said, for example, in an interview with tucker, carlson knows that he and his employees are under pressure, or at least there's some kind of surveillance conducted by the f b i, i think the root causes are there. so it doesn't make any sense to discuss the intentions of differential authorities who arrested him because they don't play any role here at all. so what he seems to be saying is that nicole is just a wing man for an even bigger, a control freak, whose desperate for a steady relationship with draw and wants back home to make the introduction. it's not like an upcoming trial for association with child sex abuse and drug

trafficking is any kind of pressure though. we're talking here about western democracy and freedom after all. and so out of the story about key a, they didn't consider the new yeah, celebrations. a reason to stop attacking russian civilians as just minutes after the clock struck midnight. you crane shelves rushes coast region on new year's eve . you couldn't show the dumbass settlement of the gulf guy, but that actually didn't stop people that from enjoying the holiday are days remind casara was bad to help bring the celebration to young kids that were made an example of the way that we will hold our annual last piece, the christmas feast for the kids here for the year and the front line that we're getting this every year for the kids presence.

exactly. what they ask for the service is one of the most effective sounds. drones are flying absolutely all the time, but we're lucky today because it's of the roof feel a lot safer. time very arrives at our destination. this is one of the schools here in gore lift. uh uh the kids will be arriving very soon. right now. it's time to load everything that we brush or 1st of all the for the full suit. it's all here. and a lot of presence, of course, which will take to the school. and apparently the kids have prepared a concert for me. and we'll take a look at how that goes the

and the sofa and hers is 1st of course the last 10 years i've changed at least 2 or 3 differences because of the places we usually visit are, are right on the front line. so obviously the sans as a father saw soon as gets dirty and sometimes impossible to fix the new ones. so right now the kids are waiting for us outside and they sit questions on and congratulate them on christmas and new year. of course,

to get dressed look away the, like i said, we've been doing this for the last 10 years. even prisons, children off, and that's people's republic who live on the front line. it's every time it's

emotional. when he see these kids who still believe in magic, they believe in father frost or static loss. depending on the you're from and wants to receive the presence that they've asked for in a letter interface changes drastically and to the happen is on their is in the faces of the parents that were here as it gives me particular charge for the rest of the year because of all the time this notice come around to remind people that they have under constant shitting my brain in military it's certainly a very valuable to seamless camaraderie, right here. you bought alaska. in any case, we will continue doing this for as long as needed because each year i hope it's the last time we're doing this and the conflict vote and and the school will be able to organize these parties by,

by themselves without the need or loss goal. santa claus, or must go find it for us. but of course my team and i will be doing this for as long as the air will be bringing the happiness and the police magic. because of this year on a sunday by spreading happened this amongst children. well, that's the, i'll be down a little bit back at the top of the out with more highlights from last year and the latest happening around the world today. thank you for watching and ask you again

the the
