and hong kong, widespread musical performances and fireworks for mocking the ground, the cage account down to the new year was most certainly on of the united arab emirates. browse, gathered into by for an evening of performances and celebrations near the world's tallest skyscraper. i thought of the voltage for lisa, so it's a 20, the $25.00 all across the russian federation and the nation's president. fund improvement has signed the russians with a unity that helped to overcome the many issues of the country faced this past year . i see it's a video with both napoleon, russia, this period has been filled with significant events, many of them, of historical importance. but we have set issues, goals, and achieve them repeatedly, overcoming challenges because we have been together. this is how well, what do you need to our face in our selves and our capabilities have grown stronger? yes, we still have a lot to work on. what we can rightfully be proud of what we have already

accomplished. this is our common heritage. the so reliable foundation for further development than you showed us. 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 then how far or again, a huge, numerous activities would be a waiting people there like a concert stairs then shows now of course, when we're talking about ross shock, that's a big country, which means that there's more than one time zone here, there's a rush. i had 11 time zones talking about the very 1st residence in

a rush side that welcomed the new years. some of them are in of legible stuff. the city of ladiva stopped and wallet is freezing. cold out there. people still went out to celebrate and embrace the festive spirit of this holiday. again, on top of that, in the city of the gods, where it's a minus 51 degrees celsius, that did not stop people from going out to celebrate for golf course. at least the weather is perfect, minus 51 degrees celsius. it's wonderful. just what you need to feel the winter, but 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. this is the city that illuminates the 1st christmas tree in our country. this is where our russian winter begins, because town that's probably gatherings and celebrations. we're also planned in the city of san petersburg, the 2nd largest city in a rush job, but

a part of the palace palace 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, how 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 in 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 that headquarters a very happy new year. what means that i'm trying to keep up with the goals and his sleigh and traveling around the world at 28000 kilometers per hour, actually customer? no. so, so celebrating the new year high above i head to the international space station. and they wish all of us here down below a very happy new year to see what see if we sincerely congratulate you from the

international space station for the upcoming year 2025 was the last one. we hope that all of you spend the holidays with your family and friends with this sweetness telling me a bit of, or hundreds of kilometers away from our common home planet earth. and we asked her 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. 2024 was a highlighted with us, a very significant defense for the world, as well as for a rough share, including presidential elections and some major conferences as well. so even though it's a lot easier and it costs or ever taking a look at the truck rental record of a success, old in the face of professional apartments in the west. once or twice before was the gear that flatter marapoo. 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 a notification 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 voice of the minority. who wants 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, but it was defiance in the form of large cues at some polling stations in russia. heating the cool of allies of the late opposition lead to alexi in the fall,

and the polling stations are being set on fire while ballot boxes are being filled with green di signs of anger as an intellectual system. that is need the free no fair. remember that woman, the lime 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 and a dictate are 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 has decisions and so called also terry and hold on power. it is a completely unique result for president putin such a high level of public support means 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 of consolidation around his power

off the west coast bank and on the russians turn it 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 regime snatches people up the streets and sends them into battle rations 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 you're interested. people understand what we are fighting for. they help the frontline 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. i'll follow a man came to sign contracts this year. it's already over 430000. and this flow is not stopping. so thanks to such a popular aptitude, we are seeing breakthroughs on the front lines. the last hope that the special

minutes operates on what they come to within staff wards. but it didn't like was with their sanctions. they wanted 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 economy survives the initial assault from the extreme sciences imposed since once it's $1.00 to $2.00. and is the european country 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. so 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 the 2024 project and 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. expect to the common years. what's more, russia has seen a record low unemployment rate of 2.3 percent. that was dream, russell, strategic defense on sale. they will face with the stark reality that the country is literally not collapsing for growing with i'm going to do this year according to calculations by our own and international experts, the year to zones. economic growth would be somewhere around one percent. russia's economic growth last year was 3.6 percent. this year it will 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 importance of the russian market for europe and economies. 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 to know $2000000000.00 minimum. which brings us to the next points of all these sciences and field longer and actually push slusher 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 push russia 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 briggs power houses like china in the south africa, and even the persian gulf,

more to pull that shows us once again that the west quest to defeat russia and stay on top is looking more, more like mission impossible to africa. we go over here on the program where a nation is a jumping on the bandwagon to essentially kick powers of the continent at the library coast, announcing the french forces of packing up and shipping out about west african nation as, as the former colonial powers, military ex, sitting while they're exiting from the region and it's old picking up steam. my said concepcion, my dear compatriots, we can be proud of our ami, whose modernization is now effective. it is in this context that we have decided on the concerted and organized withdrawal of french forces from co, deep want to 40. so it'd be ma kemp, the marine infantry battalion and pulled the weight will be headed back to the code . it was forces in january, 2025 to mock this new stage in the life of the army. this isn't just a political move. it's a declaration of independence that it isn't an isolated event. it's part of a poor,

the movement sweeping across the african continent. as with no, of course it is a decision that has rocked the geo political stage signaling a shift to that is impossible to go with seen. it happens throughout the year of 2020 full ramadi between a foss, sony. she have also asked for us to do the same and the respective countries, and very recently sold chad as cynical following suit added syndicate. the citizens have repeatedly demanded that the authorities review military agreements with frost synagogues. these lead is as well open to the voice of dissatisfaction with french submitted fee um, presence on the country have listened to the daughters. it is, i have already instructed the minister of the armed forces to propose a new doctrine for cooperation in defense and security matters which will involve among other things ending all foreign military presence in senegal from 20 to 25. my dear compatriots, let us take the time to look at ourselves in the mirror of our history and our values to remind ourselves of who we are and where we come from. even in chat,

the need is all you that it was time for the nation to assert its full sovereignty . even going as far as describing the agreement as no longer aligned with the political added to your strategic realities of the current time. as will see that the disagreement has become obsolete completely obsolete. it no longer corresponded to the security geo political and strategic realities of our time, nor to our legitimate expectations regarding the full expression of our sovereignty . in the same way, it does not bring us any real added value on the military ground, where we face alone varied in serious challenges including terrorist attacks. the french military presence in chad is not based on a reciprocal basis. chatham was no longer except from others. what is not accepted by these others? this is the sacred principle of reciprocity. from us has blamed solid nations

with the regions military rules and heat is on the likes of russia. but at this moment, the hasn't been in the wood from paris also. what can they say when the decision to remove french troops is a monumental one, not just because of the african continent as a whole, but she has what phase president a sit before the shows on this statement. our role is changing in africa, but this is what we want. it is because the world is changing in africa because public opinions are changing because governments are changing because we decided in a sovereign way in february 2023 after several years of progressive change. well, to rebuild a partnership, and so it is the strength of our armies to think about this and change our old habits. our group is changing with the world, and that's a good thing. and the symbolizes a continent that is tied to be seen through the leaves of dependency and continents tired of being told how to governess the phase. and the continental foreign

influence that often ortizes its own interest over those of african people. and we can try to see what all of this is hitting a total collapse across in the west uh correct down on any media that god forbid gives a russian perspective or doesn't total with a liberal lines, according to the ceo of telegram people living and 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 was you know, the, you band this very network. also you international as well as russia is trunel, one television and use agency for you. and all of us do not move reflects that you use ongoing suppression of diverse narratives. and basically its internal runs

towards any russian perspective. it's demonstrating its inclination to control information rather than uphold any freedom of speech. most of the use actions will not go on us and it will turn to international organizations for an adequate response. well, looking back, it wasn't too long ago. the french police arrested a pebble door off the ceo of telegram. that's good for you. more details on this. looking back now with the contributor rachel laska say at the end of summer break, that's can be particularly dramatic, especially if that romances with the president of france and then you're in mac hall. apparently, at the end of august 2024 russian, 4 and telegram founder pat al gerard who had extensive personal contact with nexus was nabbed by french authorities as he landed at paris is 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 in 2021 for services rendered to france, there was reported the talk of moving telegram to france, which never actually had. and so its not even clear which services he rendered to france other than lip service to mac, home 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 back 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 put in 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 sad and that my crown has descended 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 the government's 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 concern 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, stipulated and binding international agreements to which russia is a party. so the you of which for us is 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 their and wanted access under the pretext. 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 his pre to all of this 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 a week 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 hysterical 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 c. 37 percent of teenage girls between 13 and 15 were exposed to unwanted nudity in a week on instagram if you knew about it. who did you buy or senator? this is why we're building all or 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 this. 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 meet these results may contain images of child sexual abuse and then you'll gave users 2 choices get resources or see results. anyway, a mr soccer, but what the hell were you thinking?

there's one big clearing difference between the dr. bergman draw up though. is that per burger is already acting like a u. s. government assets. he admitted in a letter to the house judiciary committee in august that the binding administration asked facebook to censor cove and 19 content 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. this 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 soccer birds direct line, clearly wonder how badly they want drugs. well, according to his former p r, i 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 puddle dirt off for a long time and dor off as always talked about it. and he said, for example, in an interview with tucker carlson, 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. what is that? similar to the world is ringing in the new yeah. key of didn't consider the celebrations as a reason to stop talking russian civilians and civilian infrastructure because just minute soft at the thought struck midnight. ukraine shelled rushes quarter

screeching when they use the ukraine. show that on past several that have go to lift up, but that actually didn't stop the people that from trying to enjoy the holiday. so here's where my costs are. if we start to help bring some joy to the local cans. that was made, it needs a full of color. we will hold our annual last piece that christmas feast for the kids here for the year and the front line that were there this. i have 3 kids presence exactly what they have for us is one of the most effective sounds here. people's goals are flying in terms of the site, but we're lucky today because it's on the roof. feel a lot safer can very arise at our destination. this is one of the schools here in gore, lift 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 live in how that goes the and the starting to get a huge sofa. and for no reason for this 1st of course, no less than 10 years. i've changed at least 2 or 3 different services because of the places we usually visit are right on the front line. so obviously, the sensors are for the process, gets dirty and sometimes impossible to fix the new ones. so right

now the kids are waiting for us outside and we'll put this to questions on and congratulate them on christmas new year of course time to get dressed. look away. the

we've been doing this for the last 10 years, even presence to children often as people on the front line. it's every time it's emotional when he see these kids who still believe in magic, they believe in fine or false, or santa claus, depending wherever you're from. and once they receive the presence that they've asked for in a letter, there sees changes drastically and of the happen is on their face and the faces of the parents that were here. and it gives me particular a charge for the rest of the year because of all the.
