they've been ordered to leave, are supposed to be falling through. france is not retreating, and africa is re organizing itself. i say this because when i read a good part of our press and a lot of comments, people looking with yesterday's glasses saves, it is terrible. we're disappearing in africa. we chose to move out of africa, not because we had to move out. it was our commitment against terrorism since 2013 . we were right. i think some african leaders forgot to say thank you. it doesn't matter. it will come with time. in gratitude, i am in a good position to know is a non communicable disease of humans. but i will say it for all the african rulers who have not yet had the courage, abuse of either public opinions to say it, none of them would be a sovereign country today, if the french army had not deployed in this region. we did well, we left because the recruited todd is because we were there at the request of sovereign states who asked france to come from the moment there were crews. people

said our priority is no longer the fight against terrorism. is this, or that that matters? france no longer had a place there because we're not the supplicants of purchase. so we're out. all right, let's take this conversation further with them. what do you buy more the by john list a presenter of the inside type than not joining us. i live on how to international monday, but what do you but, and thank you so much for coming on. i'm going to try not to laugh my friend because you know that this micro and spinning this narrative the from, has been leaving these african countries by choice. now look here, monday, but he made this statement. he made this in a room full for and on boss that is including from african countries that do me a favor more. david just read into it. how do you assess is comments a look? thank you very much, ro, units in 5, you as a gain and happy new year to you and of us look, i think, i think it's just another example of colonial, an imperialist arrogance from them and made them a credit itself. you know, it's just an example of seeing advertising of, uh, as another playground no for,

for, for wisdom countries and imperial countries to coming to africa and still resources . and then she ended geneva and published this chicken a rest of the, of us in the was the of us fighting amongst ourselves. you know, i mean, it's laughable, but it just shows the air guarantee. it shows the ignorance of my code itself, and it shows how it funds for many vacate there's love you speak to advertisements have, can people have nissan? this is mike. he's the really seen us as being by barry can be in or they will. you come here if i was supposed that they've never seen as being equal, it's always be human. know. yeah, yeah, i think is a very for i comment them in meantime. meantime, would they have a listen to this might cause, you know, my problem is that his speech went on for almost 2. 0 is it? we're not gonna, i'm not going to burden you with all about, but just for a 2nd. haven't listened to another statement from macro inherit con, to send it to prove our presence was no longer understood. it was used against us. look at the french, they have a camp with 2000 soldiers. so they are going to prepare kuta top and all possible

this information was used against us. we have waited patiently. we proposed african heads of states to reorganize our presence. as we are very polite, we left the privacy of the announcement to them, but don't be mistaken. it was our decision too. but because we are polite, it shouldn't be turned against us by saying that they are driving us out of africa . i can tell you that many of these countries, they didn't want to take away the french army or even we organize it, but we did it together. that's the partnership. and so yes, we're opening a new security and defense partnership, where we will have strategic bases. booty is one of them, which is why it is of a completely different nature on. yeah, he's really trying hard to convince everyone more database that fronts was doing this by choice. now he did say that this information has been used against power, as he said, that there's been some kind of information war against fraud. and he did say that

the fraud has always been very polite. again, read between those lines for me. what, what's your comment? what do you pay for the football form? okay. say that, you know, um, fort wayne say that the, the lived on the own terms that we kicked out of those to help agents know they kicked out by the african people. so we don't know why don't you know, countries you know, right and dismissed because it wasn't because of the quoting is part of the, you know, so it's at this level for him to say that, you know, i think it's just been, it's, i think it's a it's a big embarrassment for you mean it's hard to policy to be kicked out of africa, because for many years ponce's, as i said, says as, as piggyback and the use of the african people, you know, funds past is what it is today because of the sweets and the black african people and the resources of effort that you know, so or for you to now say that the phrase lips because they want it to go. it's a pure light, you know, is a pure, did i as that is supposed to be there with the sensitive, kicked out by the, by the, by the, by the people over. i have got a big to say that he's saying he's saving face as an asian ones. it's almost like damage control and what do you?

but he's like, he's like real friends here. we're doing this by choice what, what, who's kicking us? no one's kicking us out of here. what did you buy? i'm, i'm not mean it's a lot about this, but just boy look just, just quickly. there is still a very fun ghost lingering in that region of the world. a power system in charge of the, the west africa, c, f, a frank. that is a current c still used in western and central africa. it is linked to the euro at a fixed exchange rate. so i get it that these african countries are kicking for on sale and taken out the military but, but they all still tied technically to the one guy in charge of the car and the say, right? yeah, to the i think there's a new wave of african leaders that's coming up loud. 2 which, oh, you know, for example, these are you from a medical this coming from advocacy this, you know, we saw with the, with the, with the, with the, with a lot of the face choosing the removal, removal of french authorities on those countries at the beginning to wake up and can be just beginning to recover though, you know, i mean, the font still today holds may new quote, deposits from american country 0,

even off the colonial, cuz then it is an advocate. and i mean french, the french told african countries that they'd quoted as, as in order for them to keep the independence and still have to continue. so the prince kind of, you know, that's another whole of what a day's play with the d colonialism. you know? yeah, so i think it's, i also saw my manual successful when he sees that i've taken countries a lot grateful you know, so in because his african countries must thank you for quite a last and to must thank you. yeah. and for, for the results most. thank you for killing them. you don't need it for leaving them poor. you know, so, i mean, i think it's laughable, but it just shows that i would get all the rest that will fonts. yeah, indeed. and see, i mean, you know, as you start with these colonial ghosts they, that's still there. and yet the global south, more the of a combined with the brakes. and the as on a b, s, c o, they're all standing up on their own to see these days and we are seeing some of them gets moves on the geo political chessboard. we've seen that a 100 years more the more the but it's

a journalist. i'm present to the inside the fact there, appreciate your candid commentary. thanks very much. thank very much. right. thank you. bye. sure. thing get thrown out to you international. go to update the numbers for you tragically though it's up to 53 now. 53 people killed, many more injured is all due to an earthquake. that goes rumbled to that. it also left several buildings demolished, and she got say, city of the epicenter of the $6.00 back me to us break is set to of being about 75 kilometers northeast of mount everest. defects were felt old across india and the pole and bank, le, dash, and quote, and so far as we understand, seismologists have recorded. get this with 49 off the shocks in the region. agents send this out here before we get our report from tear on it. rollins revolutionary god, corps analysis. it will be holding military drill starting saturday to prepare for the cool new possible threats, including terrorism on separate times. jodi islamic republic of iran will

not initiate any war in the region based on its defense doctrine. but the upcoming drills a carried out to prepare for and have defensive and offensive power to confront any type of threat strengthening determines and protecting the security of the people and the system is the basis of the military doctrine of the i r g c. these drills of the closest exercises to real combat conditions. the main goal of the series of drills is to confront the potential military threats, terrorism, sabotage and disunity in the country in hans national morales and change the enemies calculations. this pulse 1st and for as long as the revolution guards up are getting your general id. well, how about the id and also on monday that the drill is designed to simulate. so real time war scenarios based on the latest slides from give on as opponents. he said about 30 land air and maritime exercises have already been launched in 6 western

and southern provinces across the country and would continue until mid march. he said that the drills will also include operations near the natasha nuclear facility, crucial slides for uranium enrichment. i'd significant in the sense that as well, and we simply that you're west of working to target to get one's nuclear facilities . but the latest part of the drill is a naval exercise scheduled to take place in this rate of 4 whose strategic check points to which one 3rd of the world's oil supply is transported. and we're one 5th of the total global oil production, of course takes place there. of the timing of the exercises is significant in many ways. first of all, they are held shortly before trumps in on your ration later this month, many and it was political circles seem to be concerned about a trust return because of his track record of hawkish rhetoric against the font members of trump's incoming administrate and have vowed to resume the former

president, so called maximum pressure of campaign against iran in response to yvonne's nuclear activities. during his 1st term, we remember that trump pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal with deaf one and we imposed sanctions on the country. of course, from another perspective, the drills also comm, as tensions between iran and his will are on the rise of the countries exchanged um, multiple attacks during last fall with iran. launching hundreds of missiles and hitting multiples military targets in israel, despite massive support from israel's western allies. israel back then did striking back for the latest one and later on late october or the idea of launched some air raids on to ron targeting its air defense systems. the i r g c spokesperson said that although is real claims that iran likes capacities to one is

fully prepared for another attack against israel, which he said would be even more powerful than previous ones. 0. yeah, i think the narrative, the design is really made of towards the attack on a run on october 25th. said that a ron lacks, the defense shield, a missile production chain. iran has not stopped producing missiles for a single day. and the country's defense systems of fully operational and have been upgraded in many cases. yeah, certainly whenever the time comes for a new operation against israel, it will be more powerful, more surprising and more successful to the the enemy will receive the response to its people. these different methods, tools, and n, y geography. we will wait for the upcoming phases of the drill to see what that one has to show off during these ongoing exercises. but of course, what's important is that the i r g c said that the drill is part of the annual routine exercises held by the revolution guards taking place every year in the last

last 3 months of the persian calendar. which of course ends in mid march. however, each year the maneuver is stage based on the latest security threats against the country. they said. so given the rising tensions between one and as well, this maneuver is definitely seen as a means for iran to flex its military muscle. and i'll send some powerful message as well and it's western for us. so it is officially christmas here in a very snowy moscow and it's pretty mild at minus 3 degrees celsius. but of course, the whole but i services impact church was in full swing all across the russian federation and in other countries as well. although it's believe us celebrating the birth of christ today at the head of the russian orthodox church, extending his congratulations to the nations by it was actually been the last last time. love is especially needed in places where people are suffering, which alas, are many today, especially on battlefields and in front line areas where the only the less that are

the deeds of those who helped the victims of hostilities who carry out volunteer in humanitarian service we. we see the confession of those who now performing pastoral ministry within ukraine, sometimes at the risk of their lives continue to be faithful to canonical orthodoxy has come to such courageous champions of truth. may the lord help them in their trials, and may the lord make their sorrow into righteousness. let us all each in his place work with diligence. let us walk the path of life with firm face an unshakable hope for help from above. rejoicing in each new day and new opportunity to do good deeds, loving our neighbors and thanking god always and for everything was sweet, happy holiday to all of you. my dear ones merry christmas. and though we wasn't mostly si, russian orthodox, bishop pedro curio gave his traditional christmas message to all the believe us out . then he urged to pray for rescue of the presence of will, as well as for the sick i'm suffering and above all for the peace of the world.

over $200.00 millions of christians celebrate christmas every year. and it is one of the most important holidays in christianity, as it marks the best of jesus christ full cast. the legs, the christmas celebrates is on the 25th, while for orthodox christian christmas is on the 7th of january. and the difference comes due to the difference calling to us. the great boy and one of the judy in one of the full uh, orthodox christians, celebrate according to the julian calendar. and the difference at the end of o makes the team days between the 2 calendars. and what's of importance to mentioned here as well, is that across smoke early across the russia. the solum services the house, but also across jewish in us, being on jerusalem child just as well. and also the services and the faithful return home for a festive meal in the holiday is a family holiday. to say one more reason to take out the bible. once again,

to read with children, to remember that we should forgive our petty family troubles for us. that's the most important thing. you mess this holiday is about family values, traditional values of russia. now, in a world of spirit listeners, this holiday is coming. it is the bulwark of our face, our future, and every thing we are trying to achieve, some very positive dynamic. so it's always the expectation of a miracle, of course, like from childhood, for the rest of my life, i guess for big carries 3. it's a magical feeling. it is a great joy, a great christian holiday. we live in russia. this is all main face, a deep spiritual feeling. we will be thinking about something luminous about her family values and traditions about goodness and light. so services are in full swing across russia full this christmas day and also the heavens and the psalms and the incense. so families will be gathered around the dining tables to enjoy all
