we pick teams relative upset about the government's response to the fact that my grandfather in west england was taken out by a virus that started in china because our government still allowed people to fly in business flights. we had it in february last year, and this very shocking and harrowing humanitarian crisis amid think your tissues in afghanistan is the un says half the population could face starvation is the wing to set sin. despite promises from the u. s. to provide hundreds of millions of dollars in a i've more to see the crisis that the worse and so dramatically and just spread across a whole country because money is desperately needed because if the library has collapsed problems, carl, then we'll see real catastrophe in this country. ah,

the oh i good morning you watching 19 to national just going 8 o'clock in moscow. now we're not without breaking news from the united states because police do say there were multiple fatalities when an s t. v drove into a christmas parade in a suburb of milwaukee wisconscin specific. yes. on the exact number of deaths low about 20 people have been reported injured, including several children and 3 people. a said to be in a critical condition, a word of warning he may find the following: images disturbing. oh, well videos posted to own social networks to show that my vehicle ran into the crime, the police chief of the town of. okay, sure. where the incident occurred said, said that a person of interest is in custody. kind of morphing has more details. well, as we understand, there have been several deaths, as well as

a number of very serious injuries that have taken place. this was at a christmas parade. and walk a shot, which is a suburb of milwaukee in the us state of wisconsin. now the video that's going around social media shows a red sport utility vehicle plowing into the crowd on the injured are understood to have been members of a dance troupe and a marching band. some of them are children. now we understand there are 11 adults and 12 children were taken to nearby hospitals in the town of locus shaw. now, according to the police department, at this point, there are 3 people in critical condition for people that are in serious condition. the police say they don't know whether or not this is terrorism related. here's some of what we've heard from the police is unknown at this time where the incident and nexus, the terrorism, the vehicle struck more than 20 individuals. some of the individuals were children and or some fatalities, as a result of this incident will not be released in information of tell he's at this

time while we are working on notifying the family members of the deceased, i was on the scene and is cooperating. the local law enforcement to get to the bottom of this. we also understand the white house is monitoring the situation very closely. now the police chief of woke a shaw says that a probe into the incident is going on and that they do have a suspect vehicle that has been taken and is in police hands at this point. there's also a person of interest who is in police custody. now the mayor has brought condolences to the relatives of those who have been killed and those who are currently in the hospital in serious condition. at this point, the public schools and woke ashore had been close tomorrow and lighted the incident that just took place. officials on the scene or urging everyone to stay away from the area which this happened, roads are going to remain closed overnight. the situation is being described as very tragic and very chaotic are we expect to hear more details from law

enforcement as this case develops as the investigation continues. where we spoke to the political and legal analysts. jennifer braden about this and she said that she phase, this sort of incident is becoming more common. we haven't had something like that in the united states as much. unfortunately, the more at least weapons related violence, but i'm happy to be like this. obviously you can always look very great, think in the united states, especially there's so many local parades. there's so many things that happen, whether it's for local communities and you want the local a local christmas break that happened. unfortunately had to become more acclimated to this american. this is going to be a new thing. whoever was involved to this if. ringback this was intentional and whoever was involved, i mean now there's reports that they had a gun out the window as well, but maximum damage. i wonder why people choose these events, the happy events, christmas parade. we can, we could just going to church just on to,

to celebrate their religious beliefs or their faith. and now there are just enjoying something with our families on a sunday afternoon, right after a hacker team and, and why, why did what happened here? i mean, it's to create maximum paying maximum separate and so that is where that comes in. now with a full flavor of can you read? hitting european states have been camping time with increasingly tougher measures. australia has just gone into a full lockdown will make vaccinations mandatory in the coming months. protest. major cities around the content have been, have drawn tens of thousands of people. enraged by the restrictions. peter oliver, as more from vienna. as a 4th wave of the pandemic ravages the continent, we've seen more demonstrations across europe against covert measures.

there were also protests in croatia as well as denmark and several other e u countries with people venting anger against tightened covey restrictions such as passes for entering restaurants, sports events, and even christmas markets. many people are simply fed up with the meshes. that's the case initially, despite covert cases being on the lies there are, you have an old people make day choice. i'm not against

a vaccine. i'm here for freedom of choice. this is not a demonstration against the green pass. it's a freedom and against dictatorship. the freedom of choice and freedom of expression because this has died in italy, not even yet. we maintain that this is a violation of the constitution. it is not possible to participate in social life. burke, when green certificate is mandatory, mike white goes okay, and that's a moment when people continue to be threatened by restrictive measures, which increasingly discriminate against people who choose one option. and people who choose another, even though well within constitutional parameters. unfortunately, it's inevitable that temp has rung heidi here in vienna. the pro, on saturday came after it with announced that austria would be going into a full national lockdown from monday. austrian chancellor, alexander schellenberg, has said that from the 1st of february 2022 vaccines will become mandatory in austria. a move which the world health organization had said should only be taken

as a last resort. good 19 has become once again the number one cause of my chelsea region . we know what needs to be done. legal and societal debate is very timely. mandatory jeff's i last resort before that. there are other means, like the coffee bests remain in lockdown for at least the next 10 days with the option to extend to december. the 13th should case figures not have come down sufficiently. however, as the numbers that came out over the weekend show, the more measures that have put in place to try and stop the spread of coven 19, the more people are prepared to resist those restrictions, potentially creating an environment that will allow the virus to spread even further, peter, all of her off the vienna with a kind of response is also a controversial topic in the k, where a new report by the national audit office does say the british government was equipped for dealing with the pandemic. and the long term effects. it would have on

the country this pandemic was exposed to vulnerability to whole system emergencies . although the government had plans for an influenza pandemic, it did not have detail plans for many non health consequences and some health consequences of a pandemic like cove at 19. there was limited oversight and assurance of plans in place and many pre pandemic plans were not adequate. it was my grandfather who died on christmas eve. he went in for a routine or infection. i've seen nothing wrong with him. co cobra died as a lot of people did in this country. so the father, my grandfathered rural west england was taken out by a virus that started in china because our government still allowed people to fly from business flights. we had it in february last year. shocking, my hancock giving away 600000 new p to china or is it in february?

does a really how so this is how to improve it. been bags? yeah. this, there's numerous stories of how services being led down by life or is johnson the very thought they didn't close. borders goes to show that they didn't understand the stress this would have on, on a chest, along with the mental health on. not since it was this entire time was 5 warnings about potential shortcomings ahead of the ad. great in government did fail to remedy the situation according to the report to disclose to you that officials could have been so wrapped up in preparations for breaks it. however, dining street has defended its actions, saying that the pandemic was unprecedented. however, we have always said there are lessons to be learned from the pandemic and have committed to a full public inquiry in spring. we prepare for a range of scenarios. amal, there were extensive arrangements in place. this is an unprecedented pandemic that has challenged health systems around the world, whoever it is to us. and again,

he also founded a caveat, memorial group to say, the unprecedented nature of this pandemic can't be used as an excuse. tons of things are unprecedented. walking into the road is that it was going to happen when you walk in the street. we walk into the street with the knowledge that we have left them right. these people did it. we don't need time to kind of base the food in charge. we need meritocracy. we need the scientist we need talking about the whole process has been done by people that don't understand science. don't take it seriously. it's $56.00 days to introduce masks. countries like korea and china been using mass for some reason. in britain, we just didn't get the government for money 1st day for well, you know, we can keep on board is open, which would potentially kill a large population of people. but the economy would countries 5 on the or we can

close it and economy will take a hit. well, they've done this, i tried to do option a, it didn't work. we've lost most people in the economies to slap the united nations is raise the alarm over the growing humanitarian crisis in afghanistan. my half of its population could face starvation as the winter sets in a see the crisis did the worse and see dramatically and just spread across a whole country, free and a half 1000000 children. what we call severely, acutely malnourished, with a 1000000 a 1000000 facing for immediate help. i am. mm. that is desperately needed because if it might be his collapse of phantoms kind of fall,

then we'll see real catastrophe in this country person. so you had the, a sudden suspension over was amount of international assistance which was 70 years had underpinned to be the foundation of so many basic services. i'm jobs as well, but the health education, wayne sector, agriculture. absolutely. and those were suspended, plus hundreds of thousands of people in office hours and 12 ah, it was the worst of trout 35 years. so that meant that crops were being really hit, particularly those that don't have irrigation, but to rely on the rain. also livestock was being really hit because the policies this year with dr. right from the start at the start of the end of the year, it's projected that 9 out of 10 of the largest urban areas, the cities and towns about kind of started. so we facing the same acute food insecurity, hunger on a daily basis. mm. mm

well the u. s. claims is allocated for the full $172000000.00 for humanitarian aid to the afghan people. they share, including a 144000000 back in october and various monetary organizations have been distributing vital goods to the country but the tele and says that us sanctions are crippling. the country, preventing people from guessing the supplies they need. our t, sassy taylor has moved, the war might be over, but for afghans life is still a battle, as they stand by the roadside selling that possessions in exchange for a scrap of bread. that probably asking where all the west and leaders who promised to stand by us. still we will remain at the sight of afghan women and men again doing our duty to protect those. we can protect the seat of working with the taliban. oh, of course, if necessary, will,

will go on and our commitment to afghanistan is lost. there are very good reasons for continuing to stand by the people of afghanistan after the withdrawal of the troops, at least in the context of developing assistance. we must do everything to avert the real risk that is out there of a major famine and humanitarian disaster. we will continue sport. the afghan people will lead with our diplomacy or international influence on our humanitarian aid. well, all those lead us embarrass still by thus failure to impose democracy on others by force turned to another favorite tactic, economic suffocation. that's right. they've shot the 8 bank. not all foreign assistance has been halted, but that's not all. washington and it's nato allies fled. they took all afghanistan's cash, the u. s. has frozen 9 and a half $1000000000.00 worth of assets belonging to the afghans central bank. so

even those lucky few who do have savings can't take anything out. because washington says, so it's a one to the town of bonds, asking congress to give it all back. the freezing of us, it's an economic sanctions, can home health, education and of a civil services from which the general public benefit damage to these building blocks will serve as the worst memory ingrained in afghans at the hands of america . but following a 2 decades long pattern of pacing little value on afghan life, the u. s. is not backing down. now. u. s. officials made clear to the taliban for years, the dis, they pursued a military takeover rather than a negotiated settlement with fellow afghans than critical non humanitarian aid provided by the international community in economy enormously dependent on aid, including for basic services would oh, but cease that is what occurred so washington wants to see reform before handing

over any aid. that's fine. a lot of people would agree, but they're ignoring one on can truth. it's not going to affect the government. what it does is affect the people are always and so that's the case in syria, and that's the case in so many different other countries as well. and so they, the people suffer a for the policy of international sanctions, not government or the west. they sell this to their own population, the u. s. will sell to its own partners constituents and so forth. as this is a better option than going to war. we're going to put maximum pressure on. we're going to put sanctions on is seen almost like the, the moral away of waging war when in fact, economic sanctions are, is as devastating if, if not more devastating than military intervention really to, to the people in those countries. and that's the point. it's all people on the f, b i's most wanted. lest he'll get punished. it's the average man on the street. the

one he's already spent 20 years looking down the barrel of an american gun, and watch drones strike off to drones strike blow apart his country. the taliban officials, the u. s. refuses to recognize, will get their monthly checks that doctors are now walking unpaid in hospitals with holes in their roofs. operating theatre the shutting because there's no electricity teachers can't afford to travel to school. keeping with tradition, washington is punishing the very people who don't deserve it. this is probably the worst possible approach. and it says to me that it's the only conclusion you can draw from this is that the u. s. is trying to strangle that. the country of afghan in order to create some level of strife or instability that might provide the pre conditions, or for perhaps a either regime change, which would be ideal for washington, maybe, or a civil war, or where the,

the west or an international peacekeeping force will need to come in again to restore order and so forth. so we can see another cycle, possibly a beginning. now uh, through this current situation, no man left behind, that's the proud slogan of the us armed forces. and yet, here we are not one, but tens of millions left behind and hunger in poverty. and in despair. ascii taylor than i, the british opposition says that the country's home secretary has been mis handling and immigration crisis. 5 english channel has a record number of migrants to try to enter the u. k. across the waterway, just last week. critic c say the she stems from sexual patel's inability to establish an effective deal with the french home secretary is comprehensively failing in this policy area. and her incompetence on this issue is dangerous. well,

the accusations also follow the formation of a new migrant camp in the french city of dawn kirk right next to the one they were previously evicted from following a meeting between french and british senior officials. many of the migrant there remain committed to getting into the u. k. have been an estimate of $24000.00 the legal crossings of english over the english channel, say fall this year about 3 times more than last year. and despite the warnings of the danger of such crossings, migrant still continued to flee fi this route. and only in recent, in recent weeks to death in the waters were confirmed. some british official was to save the state, doesn't do enough to answer the migrant flow. is only 5 if you see when to de legally, where do you port it? back to the share we spoke with the economic prosperity director from the center of immigration. he believes that in this situation, both sides are to play. i think the major removal of the migrants from the

camp was one that was trying to offer a sense of helping the british. however, almost immediately 2 instances showed the shallowness of the french offer. the french police were seen to be assisting migrants, raise their tents in a field, and secondly, videotapes showed the police almost 20 of them standing by as migrants were mounting onto boats going to britain. this shows that the french are not really attempting to stop the migrant crisis because they don't want to take responsibility. the number is johnson. the prime minister, has said that he to needs to do something about the migrant crisis. these hollow words very shallow. there is no political will to the poor people. secondly, there is a whole factor of our society determined never to allow anybody who's deemed

illegal or criminal to be deported from britain, bilateral relationships to france and britain is severely damaged and it will take many years to recover. now protests have again shaken sedans capital after the countries military reinstated the prime minister. it had i stayed just 2 months ago. ah cried could be seen running from tear gas canisters and throwing them back in place, protest this of rejected any government deal involving military forces, nor anger to buy the deaths of dozens of people in the chaos following last month's case. while in an exclusive interview, a member of the countries newly reinstated into government tele sister channel assy arabic did an investigation into the death is underway. as of how unfortunately,

some march is turned violence against police whose main role was to protect demonstrate. now we have an investigative committee, which is a supreme committee to investigate the killings of assistance. i can assure you that any one complicit will be punished. this committee has already started work. it's a neutral committee. and in its report, a committee confirmed that the police did not open fire. the prosecutor's office and the technical committee also involved in any person responsible for bloodshed against the sudanese people will be held to a counter. and since this council formed part of the previous government, it would have been illogical for it to revolt against itself a state the country is reached in the sense of economic collapse and infighting between ruling parties. this is what led to it's also clear by law, the military's role is to maintain security and stability in the country. the government has reached a points of collapse. so a correction of the revolutionary course should have taken place. so what happened in sudan is not a qu, but correction of the revolutionary course designed to maintain civil society and

democracy and keep constitutional order of him. in other news, her this morning, moscow is warning of a significant increase in the likelihood of ukraine carrying out provocations against crimea or russia. security. cancer does say that there's been a spike in activity by ukrainian special services around the peninsula and according to the kremlin west snack his ations, that russia is acting as the aggressor are unfounded. we cannot exclude the possibility of provocation. this hysteria is artificially inflated, were accused of some kind of unusual military activity on our territory by those who brought their own forces from overseas. in other words, united states of america, this is not very logical or decent. where mainstream media have made a number of unverified claims of an imminent russian invasion of ukraine, us officials of also alleged that rushes placed thousands of troops on its border.

meanwhile, natives increase its exercises and reconnaissance flights in the black sea raising significant concerns for the kremlin. but it's colonial doctrine says that the western accusations detached from reality so much of what we read in the, in the, the major mainstream newspapers have no connection with the way the real world real world works for how major politicians think they're coming from the think tank within the pentagon and from associate propaganda organizations and they're not for identification charges against russian military provocations from nato, from united states, or they're already united states. and nato countries are very quick to attribute to russia their own their own activities in their own designs. and they take, this is a starting point for, i suppose,

at western response point of fact it's not, there's no response from the west. it is initiative of the west to which rushes typically react and have sort of military threat hose by these. these m visits by, by u. s. naval forces was strictly a political dimension. and mainly i believe was projected to ukraine as to a land grab by being a motive for russian activity. but i thought, nonsense watching, i think just commit to ha ha state in the morning. i could have the company know from us in half an ah

join me every thursday on the alex salmon? sure. i'll be speaking to guess from the world of politics, sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. oh, i just don't move out date because the advocate an engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves well,

the part we choose to look so common ground ah ah ah

ah ah, ah, lo in welcome crossed out there. all things considered i'm funeral about as tensions are again on the rise regarding ukraine. we hear about red lines, russian red lines, the west needs to take them seriously. also in the wake of the rittenhouse burdick, isn't it time to admit, blake legacy media? lie all the time about almost everything. ah. to discuss these issues and more and joined by my guest, george samuel lee in budapest. he's

a podcast her at the goggle which can be found on youtube and locals. and here in moscow.
