despite the, the words of the concrete is ation, the east coast, the what it will welcome to the international where we take you through what's happening this monday, january 6. we're going to start though, with the fact that russian troops have taken strategic gains in the done. that's what public unsecure with a number of settlements. the, the russian defense ministry says that the key ukrainian time to cordova is now under russian control space seizures. and gave russian forces direct to load access to the regions, buddhas and hidden deck. he has the ability to shelton that city while under ukrainian control the area was the main logistical center or a one of those have any 4 or 5 of the troops and tanks here is said to have lost

over $12000.00 soldiers in the battle for the city aussies correspondent roman cas sort of brings us the details. yeah, this was truly a christmas gift to the people of domestic people's republic as russia liberates. keep on boss city of caroll. come on now the ration of girl how it means that the ukrainian armed forces will have fewer opportunities to fly or on the civilian population of the nest can nearby fountains as well from artillery systems. now, according to the russian defense ministry, the ukrainian armed forces last at least 80 percent of their personnel in cross country. and then as people republic, that means the over 12000 casualties and law office of at least 3000 units on the equipment and the various weapon systems, the last 10 years. the key of regime has turn croc about into a powerful uh, 40 foot area with a well developed

a network off of the flight and points and the underground communications as well. now from the more stuck lock of the is covered by reserve war which significantly limits the maneuverability of the russian. a solid units now logistical and the technical support of ukraine's, the grouping in as an escrow direction has now being significantly hampered as well . and also, russian troops have now entered the operational space, which will definitely increase the face of the liberation all the rest of the territory of the next people's republic. meanwhile, in the course of uh, the pricing also continues and the over the last 24 hours the trading on forces. last, at least 300 and the 40 service men and a lot of equipment as well, including your thanks, infantry fighting vehicles, army personnel, carriers,

armour, combat the holes and other equipment as well. now ukraine have attempted to break through the russian barriers. however, according to the russian defense ministry, all attempts were few file and unsuccessful as well. this comes, this loves me, is that landscape is increasingly desperate. few claim to join nato. now suggesting that the invitation to the book could be different, onique the territories, and the crane in control shall bumble as that doesn't mean, just so you understand the situation. the invitation to nato is legislatively issued to ukraine. so to us, all those territories are still ukraine, but nato can sofa act only in a part that's under ukrainian control. this can be negotiated. well, those are walks, however, contradict comments made by citizens. thank just a month ago. this is what you said you quite would never accept the partial invitation into nato insisting that would automatically recognize territories

courtesy and the russian control is unknown. ukrainian. well, we've been speaking to general as daniel is, who says that zelinski is obsession with nature is dictated by design to win the conflict on his tubs. he wants to win the war. he wants a settlement on uh, on ukraine's terms. he, you know, he doesn't want a settlement that's in any way. ready compromise he wants essentially to, to get his entire program fulfilled. and that requires a continue and us support and requires some kind of level of nato's support and natal nato involvement up to and possibly include in ukrainian membership in nato. these are, these are unacceptable as far as russia is concerned, but that's what soleski wants. so it's a recipe for more and more war for the war. continuing on indefinitely and back in

washington, the us secretary of state has confirmed it started the weapons flow to keep the months before russia launched its military operation in 2022. moscow says that this was no revelation, but one of the reasons why it's fun was forced. first, if you look at the trajectory of, of the conflict, because we saw it coming, we were able to make sure that not only will re prepared analysing partners are prepared for the ukraine was prepared. we made sure that well before the russian aggression happened, starting in september comp, the russian aggression happened in february starting in september. and then again, december, we quietly got a lot of weapons to, to ukraine, to make sure that they hadn't had what they needed to defend themselves. things like sting or establish that they could use. russia has been talking about this for many years about the us and u. k. pumping ukraine with weapons about unless nato drills in the black sea

violating russian borders about western military aircraft, getting dangerously close to civil plains and russian air space. that's exactly why one of the special military operations objectives is the demilitarization of ukraine to ensure our security. what is the social security consultant rasmussen has told us that the us is constantly fading the narrative to buy you quite. and so the general public is unaware of the reality of the situation along with the west. well, you know, the narrative is a era ukraine being invaded and, and a full scale invasion, which we know it's not a full scale invasion by a, by russia, you know, the big, the big bear and next store in, in, we will talk about the piece agreement that very close to being finalized and how the us and the ukraine intervene to prevent that. we don't talk about the mist

agreements and that the intention was never to resolve those issues. i was suppose to and germany and france were supposed to give guarantees to that. and of course, they did not, they lied and most likely the us was aware of that the situation that situation as well. so we don't talk about the training of tens of thousands of troops during that time period since the coo and the special military operation that nato standards. nor did we talk about the modernization and construction of new biological research facilities for the top secret work that they were doing. um, so there's a lot of a lot of use, a lot of things that we don't talk about and we don't bring up. because if we do, perhaps people the public that we're trying to present this to would have more realistic. and they may not agree with,

with the special low preparation. but perhaps we would have a more realistic and a more understanding of that. the situation there. hello, it's a theory now with the top different lights from germany and fonts paid a recent visit on behalf of the you with hopes of turning a new page and ties were putting on fridays top level talks. local media instead chose to blue. the image of the german foreign minister and the lena firefox a while. no official reason has been given for that. so i'm pointing out to the gym and diplomats closing is being potentially an issue. she chose to wear trousers and forego, covering her head decisions which do conflict with islamic knowns. h t ashley does, however, have denied seeking to impose sherry a little in the country, mis 5 of late to told the price that serious relationship with europe depends on

the new leadership factor to towards gender equality. i bet the future for syria means an inclusive peaceful transfer of power reconciliation and reconstructs. this requires the political dialogue involving all ethnic and religious groups involving men and equally women. we're frauds in so many places not on you from syrian people in europe, but also from syrian people. when i was before christmas in cherokee and also here today that they are making clear women rights are yacht, stick for the future, for everyone in the free sides. not only as many syrians will therefore, just so new rulers, by the ex, well ahead of the trip, the german foreign minister said she'd be creating the new we need to ship with an outstretched hand. i want to clean upon arrival behind teddy,

and i'll show him chief decline to shake by box hand as well. just to warn you know that they're also distressing images about to come on to your screen. these are taken from the social media port to show serious current justice minister, ordering the execution of to women and allegedly for del 3. now these incidents of believe to have taken place in a believe, been during the civil war back in 2015. the survey media has confirmed demand pay today is shoddy. l y c a prominent al noose refund terrorist vega who is a pointed to the head of the ministry following last month, the toppling of push it out a sat and is so the struggle now in the culture of balancing act in syria with teaches staging a protest outside the ministry of education in damascus on sunday. this is because the controversial changes to the school curriculum and the new government which res, balaam's. well,

the changes have affected science lessons related to the brain and also the human body also in the history cloths as references have been deleted to the ultimate occupation and pursue in vegas, who are now considered fictional. right? this demonstrates is a demanding the specialized committees make the curriculum decisions and not government officials. and then what are the we are here today because the can take a government is not authorized to make file reaching a radical changes. we offer any change that touches the glorification of the system, it sayings and so on. as for the issue of deleting for cancelling and amending any part, we hope that it will be through specialized committees. that didn't mind changing the curricula in this fast moving time confuses the students, whether he is a certificate high school student or not as well. we hope that the curricula will be changed according to specialized committees and for the coming years and not now much that is sodium supplement with my 1st and strongest objection in my son to it

capacity is to the amendments made to history materials and the deletion of most of the images, sculptures and gods from the history of syria, sweetie. while you will well phase of a renewed, sectarian conflict all spreading across ceramic ports of threats and attacks on religious minorities. my colleagues even, you know, neil discuss the situation with the mother superior of the mama street of saint james, the mutilated in syria. she's explained what christians are now facing in the islam explanation following the overthrown of space on the government. not only my life, but the man, the lice may be then sure to because uh, we can say that the despite the, the words of the to include is ation very scales. and the we, we don't even know who is leading to here the,

in the country. many groups, many entities. we can say that everybody are those people doing sometimes whatever they want. and there are so many particular events, the particular events of aggression, no, probably of discrimination of aggression. they use the tools icon that's mostly felt the fiction. it's impossible to date. one story we've been following here are the top diplomats from ostensibly christian nations, germany and france. visiting the mosque is meeting the new hate h t s. leaders. how early in our power as indeed any other nation in the west made any attempts to contact you and offer offer support to the

christian community? no, no, we are really, really, really good. it is like is because of the next iteration. definitely, but this is, i mean, those, the people coming from european nations or from western nations or from either the conditions. they say everything is okay. it's in the beginning, it's celia the, in the, in this it. but in reality, we don't see the, the outcome of the seems to me a, is it the everybody's celebrating? i am afraid that we are heading over to the table and this is very negative. and the but nobody is saying that there is still not, for example,

the wisdom media and they call the ways that they, they don't seem to to say, don't know why they just, uh, they're just happy that to visa change happened. many people would agree to, to leave the country. they say if it's continuous or we're going to be able to leave the verse safety in this country. so i don't know, i hope that the new lead is we have a the dual credit know to, to look in overs actively being what is happening. and do we try to find solution? i feel that the, they are close numbers and they were not expecting

that to to, to, to run a country. isn't that the same? the same thing then the then to include for example, the mother i can this, can i just ask you ahead of the fast approaching orthodox christmas? is there anything you would like to say to the millions of people who will be marking it when the fees made to the place the order to looks well? we have a great top into order to books one because they keep the winter and not the for the fidelity or their friend use the condition on what to do. a 25 search the they taught us. we have the same fathers here to see the addition. so of course, the very unhappy and very proud of them.

we are also very much unite to visit them even so we follow another kind of but it's the same. we study each this. jesus is the same, the fees, so for the bears, for the orthodox word or even the rich, the phone is going to oriented in this field and in the title, in the 10s of thousands without heat and daily blackouts that is just newman life and the mold open break way region of trends, vanessa as the country and torches. hundreds of millions of dollars of long term debt to russian gas supply. it's is in the city of what it meets. a local bread baking complex has been shut down while the trends, dentistry. a power plant has switched over to a stair routine mode due to the energy cuts local hospitals,

so supplied with electricity. but oil enterprises in the country have been shut down with very few exceptions. multiples and authorities just suggesting people begin burning wood, and if the locals have been sharing the dismal experience with aunty to see is for the most of us, there are difficulties because i used to wear a t shirt at home. but now i have to be fully dressed. it is become more difficult to live. if i had an air conditioner turned it on at work for a couple of days and that was it. and i swelled when i bought a heater, but it doesn't heat my 3 room flat what we close the children's bedroom and now we only stay in the living room. we all sleep on the same couch and all the transmission strands. for example, me, my wife, my children, we are all waiting for russia to come closer and i think it will help us. and because moldova wants to crush us, so i want to say to my assigned to you damn, you damn her to, she wants to crush trans needs to her with all her might. that is

a shame. and we've simply doesn't look like these just to we're all tied to electricity through mobile phones, all devices run on electricity. and naturally, these rolling blackouts are a surprise for some of those who have generators can cope. but those who do not have generators are forced to rebuild their lives to the new so called reality. so we hope that everything will be better, that everything will be normalized stabilized in the republic that they will finally give gas electricity heating. we're all waiting for heating is because the houses are cold, everyone has families, children, and there is no heating. that's and she will assume that i'm on. we are holding on everything is fine. we have bought some candles. we hope that the issue will be resolved and they will not leave us. the common people without heating, without gas and everything will be fine. good luck to all those who sit at the top . they will think about us, the common people, moldova and ukraine are deciding all this abroad. that's my opinion. i would like to hammer my opinion into their heads and say that it is common people who are

suffering. the weather turns into a certain load. does the energy crisis was set off on january 1st? this is going to have followed through on its right to refuse to renew a 5 year contract, allowing the transit of russian gas to ukraine, now cation. yeah. now then appeal to most go energy. joyce gas problem to do next, a fuel through the re weigh region a little do but has been avoiding paying it for its gas, which is already consumed. rusher estimating now not feel is worth so, but 7 new a $700000000.00 with them. the company has halted supplies well as the cost this grows in trends. dennis said officials and now cooling for new ways to import the russian gas trends. the nesta should have direct relations with russia without any intermediaries, including in relation to gas, our formula,

direct supplies from russia via which have a pipe payments on our end most goes issue, which is nobody's business. we are not interested in buying gas from romania and europe at market prices. just do not prevent us from working with russia. and we will not let them rob us and take over all factories or stop them under the pretext of lack of resources to help large enterprises or global policies specialist, george samuel, at least as mold over p, is to be using gas as a political weapon against the break away area, a transmission converted this gas into electricity and this electricity k to to 80 percent of mobo was electricity needs and alco smolder with has purchased a whatever electricity from other sources. chiefly romania, i think it is that to provoke this crisis in translate straight because because now transistor is into very serious trouble. because moto,

what is getting gas and it's getting electricity as a result of a proper isn't really suffering the issue. that is what transmission doesn't have it, and so low is now turning around to transmit experience as well. we can provide you with the gas, but you have to pay market prices. and essentially, this will, we knew all from russian gas. you're going to be part of the is the so the, the weston system of countries. and so that's, that's what they're trying to do. so they, they, they look if this is what you brains. bland was because this was washington plan, which was to provoke a crisis which transmit street in order to and the lead this will be causing independence of transmit stress. so this is really trying to open a 2nd front against russia to goals and now where is well continues it's will lead to this bombardment despite ongoing talks of

a truce with how much local officials say that 200 people were killed in the past 3 days. alone with sundays attack on the new sit out the refugee camp in the old type central region claiming 5 lives and wounding dozens, move as well. the casualties include children have open, transferred to a nearby hospital. un officials say only 16 medical facilities are still partially functioning. across garza and even those all over well because of severe shortages of medical equipment and stuff. well, meanwhile, in the west bank, 2024 also bought township for palestinians. back is there any raids conducted by both army? i'm settlers resulted in death, destruction, and displacement. all tease, middle east bureau chief, may have an option, a looks at what the new year may have in store for the region to the global tied in

2024 seemed to shift the team's favor of palestine around the world. it seemed that momentum has been growing for the creation of an independent palestinian state. the assembly is not voting on draft resolution to and tied to the right of the kind of student people to self determination. the results of the, of all what he says follows in favor 172 against 7 expansions. h. drop the resolution to is adopted. the un general assembly passed the resolution with over whelming support palestinian rice were declared as unconditional and no negotiable. adding to the momentum, 9 more countries officially have recognized palestine as a southern states, bringing the total close to $150.00 norway was among the latest adjoining this growing list. adrian, the norwegian government has decided that norway will recognize palestine as

a state in the midst of a war, with tens of thousands killed and injured. we must keep alive the only alternative that offers a political solution for his release and palestinians alike. 2 states living side by side in peace and security, they told me i mistake the things, but the palestine future lies uniquely in the hands of the international community . what happens next? largely depends on what is ro backed by the us ones. but what does the israel feel about this vision of peace and quiet existence go through each other before my insistence is what prevented for years the establishment of a palestinian state which would have posed an existential danger to israel, whom i not as long as i am prime minister, i will continue to firmly stand by the whole, within a code or without a code. israel must have security control over the entire territory west of the jordan river. that's a necessary condition. it flashes with the principal of palestinian sovereignty

team members of israel's coalition on tightening their intentions. they are pushing full full control of the west bank. take there's a lot of smoke to reach the far right finance minister who also oversees palestinian territories. living in an illegal westbank settlements himself small to reach remains one of the loudest voices for annexation. we were a step away from applying sovereignty to the settlement in judea and scenario, and now is the time to do it. today there is a broad consensus in the coalition and in the opposition from all parts of the house of opposition to the establishment of a palestinian state that would endanger the existence of the state of israel. small churches statements came just after trumps election victory as phone to ally of israel, the former and now future american president was the one who move these really capital to jerusalem. cta, who's eastern sector was meant to become the capital of

a future palestinian state. he also recognizes the golan heights annexed by he's really 1967, as is really territory and drums a point when they speak louder than words. meet the nominee for the next us defense minister. one civilization represent today is under the understanding that zion is an americanism. or the lines of western civilization and freedom and the river and freedom and fidelity into your store and religious and cultural of secularism. anti semitism. the future you ask them best of the to israel has also made his stance on the region crystal clear and there are certain words i refuse to use. so there is no

such thing as a westbank. it's judy and symmetric. there's no such thing as a settlement, their communities, their neighborhoods, their cities, there's no such thing as an occupation, really satisfying people. so really the systems of housing finally, are they persecuted such complexity. there's really no such thing that's been a political to, to try to force land away from israel and it's on yeah. whole respondents by appointing, as really invested or to be you as an even more vocal support of annexation, a career official, deeply entrenched in the settlement movement. the message is unmistakable for palestinians in the west bank, the life is a constant struggle. these really presents here and declared illegal by the world's highest court troops movement crosses, rides, and strips away freedoms. it stifles dreams, fills, land,

and takes lives as well. calls these area by its biblical names, judea and samaria, apparently determined to make the west bank possible re to israel, but with 3000000 palestinians living here. the question looms, what will happen to them? 1 december morning, residents of the central west bank woke up to a star ca message plastered on billboards along the roads. in bold arabic, they read. there was no future in palestine. the message encouraging arabs to leave that homeland wasn't suckle with braves in public and unapologetic palestinians have long known. this is israel's goal, but perhaps for the 1st time the intention was spelled out so openly. so blatantly and it has sparked outrage from locals like me. it is clear what annexation means, we must understand its reality. some may think they will.
