rural west, england was taken out by a virus, started china because our government still allowed people to fly in business flights. and we had it in february last year. it's pretty shocking. and a harrowing humanitarian crisis, amid food shortages in afghanistan is the un warns half the population could face starvation as the winter sets in house despite hugh s. a promise is to send millions of dollars in a i'd rather see the crisis that the worse and so dramatically and just spread across a whole country. this money is desperately needed because if the library has collapse of problems kind of fall, then we'll see real catastrophe in this country. ah, hello. well, can you watching out international this monday morning, just going to 11 o'clock, hey,

in the russian capital. now police the say that 5 paperwork, hilde went and se drove into a christmas parade in the suburb of milwaukee in the state of wisconsin. now the 40 people were injured, including several children, a word of warning he might find the following footage, disturbing. oh, what videos that posted on social networks thing show you the my vehicle ran into the crowd. the police chief of the town of wil kashal where the incident happens said a person of interest is in custody. kind of moping is moody tests. was 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 ashore, 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 were children. now we understand there are 11 adults and 12 children were taken to nearby hospitals in the town of oak, a 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. some of what we've heard from the police is unknown at this time where the incentives and nexus to terrorism. the vehicle struck more than 20 individuals. some of the individuals were children and or some fatalities. as a result of this incident, we will not be releasing information out of tell he's at this time while we are working on notifying the family members of the deceased. now the 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 prob, into the incident is going on and that they do have a suspect vehicle that has been taken and is, 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. ah, at this point the public schools and woke ashore had been closed to morrow and light of the incident that just took place. officials on the scene urging everyone to stay away from the area in 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? i as this case develops as the investigation continues. kind of hoping that we'll, we spoke to political and legal alaniz, jennifer braden, who faced this sort of incident is becoming more common. we haven't had something

like this in the united states as much and ports least been more at least weapons related violence. but i mean having something like this, obviously you can always flip areas, but i 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, i mean walk. this is the local, a local christmas break that happens. europeans, unfortunately, had to become more acclimated to this americans. this is going to be a new thing. whoever was involved with this, if this was intentional and whoever was involved, i mean, now there's reports that they had done out the windows well, but maximum damage. and you wonder why people choose these events is happy events, christmas parade. these things where families have just gone to church and had just gone to, to celebrate their religious beliefs or their faith. and now they're, they're just enjoying something with their families on a sunday afternoon. right after a packers game. and, and why, why this would happen here? i mean, it's to create maximum paying maximum separate. and so that is where this comes in . and i was

a full flight of coven hitting europe at the moment he used state sal reintroducing tough restrictions. however, the measures have sparked wide spread protests, some of which have turned find ah, the well austria has just gone into a full lot, dan, and will soon make vaccinations mandatory to macy's sitting cited day, a massive protest in vienna at the weekend. the quarantine is planned to last at

least 10 days and could be extended as after the number of new infections tripled in recent wakes with hospitals warning that intensive care units of reaching their limits. una from vienna. his pater oliver, has a 4th wave of the pandemic, ravages the continent. we've seen more demonstrations across europe against coven measures here. there were also protests in croatia as well as denmark and several other countries with people venting anger against tightened covey restrictions such as passes for entering restaurants, sports events, and even christmas markets. many people as simply fed up with the measures or you

have an old people make day choice. i'm not against the vaccine. i'm here for freedom of choice. this is not a demonstration against the green pass. it's for freedom and against dictatorship. friedman and freedom of expression, right? because this is what i in italy and yeah, 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, that's not freedom. that's not where we live in west europe, and we just want to be free like we were before. lisa cruz. the government is implying is getting out of hand that people who are vaccinated can, can enter some buildings because they only had 11 vaccinate vaccine. i listen to this is just the main reason to hear, you know, people get discriminated here in vienna. the protest on saturday came after it was 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. gov 19 has become once again the number one cause of my chelsea in our region. we know what needs to be done. legal and societal debate is very timely manner to rejects, i last resort before that. there are other means like that. gov. it bests remain in lockdown for at least the next 10 days with the option to extend to december. 13th should case figures not have come down sufficiently. however, as the numbers that came out over the we can show the more measures that are put in place to try and stop the spread of cov 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 over our t vienna. meanwhile, you can't, government has been accused of not doing enough with an e e e report by the national audit office criticizing it's response to the pandemic

. this pandemic is exposed to vulnerability to whole system emergencies. although the government had plans for an influence a pandemic, it did not have detail plans for many non health consequences and some health consequences of a pandemic. like coven 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. cocoa died as a lot of people did in this country. so the fact that my grandfathered rural west england was taken out by a virus that started in china because our government still allowed people to fly in from business flights. we had it in february last year and just re shockey, mac hancock giving away 600000 new pp to china as it gets to february.

does a really how so our nurses had to improvise it been bags. and yeah, this isn't numerous stories of how service is being led down by lice misdialed or, or is johnson to verify that enclosed borders goes to show that they didn't understand the stress this would have on, on a chess, along with the mental health among dots as soon as this entire time, whether a portal so claims, think that despite warnings, the back potential shortcomings ahead of the a break, the government failed to act and suggested that officials were actually to wrapped up in preparations for breaks it. however, downing street has defended its response, saying that the pandemic was unprecedented. 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. is tustin again to say that the

unprecedented nature of the pandemic can't be used as an excuse. tons of things are unprecedented. walking into the road is impressed at 11 or what's gonna happen when you walk into the street. but we walk into the street with the knowledge that we have to look left to right. these people did it. we don't need current to kind of based buffoonery in charge. we need a meritocracy. we need the scientists, we need people actually understand what they're talking about. this whole process has been done by people that don't understand science, don't take it seriously. it took them 56 days to introduce masks, countries like career and china been using last years. but for some reason in britain we just didn't get a government list for of money 1st. they fought well, you know, we can either keep our pool is open, which would potentially, you know, kill a large population of british people with the economy with potentially 5 longer. or

we can close it in economy or take a hit while they've done this. i tried to do an option a, it didn't work, we've lost loads of people in the economies to not to slap. now the united nations has raised the alarm over the growing humanitarian crisis in afghanistan, where half of its population could face starvation. as the winter sat st. ah, i do need to see the cash the person see dramatically and just spread across a whole country, free and hopefully in children what we call severely, acutely malnourished, with a ww, facing for prospects mostly get the media. ah, man is just what he needs. because if the margaret's collapse problems kind of fall, then we'll see real catastrophe in this country person. so you had the,

a sudden suspension over this amount of international assistance which was 70 years had on the pen to be the foundation of somebody basic services. i'm jobs as well, but the health education, i'm sick to agriculture. absolutely. and that's what was suspended, plus hundreds of thousands of people in office hours as well. mm. it was the worst route 35 years. so that meant that crops were being really hickey, those that are not verification, but to rely on the rain was and my son was being ready because the policies this year with dr. right from the start was start of the end of the year to projected that 9 out of 10 of the largest urban areas, the cities and towns about kind of started as well. so we facing the same acute food insecurity, hunger on a daily basis. mm. mm

. well the u. s. does claim is allocated more than $470000000.00 for humanitarian aid to the afghan people. they share, including a 144000000 back in october and very mandatory organizations have been distributing vital goods. the country, however, the taliban say that you asked sanctions eclipsing the country and preventing people from getting the supplies they need naughty, sassy taylor, as more 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 western leaders who promised to stand by us. we will remain at the sight of afghan women and men doing our duty to protect those. we can protect defeat 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 are the major famine and a humanitarian disaster. we will continue to support the afghan people. we will lead with our diplomacy or international influence on our humanitarian aid. while all those lead us embarrass still by the 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. one, 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 of a civil services from which the general public benefit damage to these building blocks will serve as the worst memory ingrained enough gums 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 that if 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 always. and so that's the case in syria, and that's the case. and so many different other countries as well. and so they, the people suffer 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, oh, 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 list, 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 theatres, 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 where the, the west or an international peacekeeping force would need to come in again to

restore order and so forth, so we can see another cycle possibly 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 asked me tighter than i still had fee this sad trading blame i with the migrant crisis in the english channel as u. k. and french officials and both criticized for not doing enough to stop illegal crossing that story more just after this blue ah has is driven by drink shaped bankers. and those with

who dares sinks. we dare to ask for what we got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. even foundation, let it be an arms race is offensive, very dramatic development. only personally and going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk with

ah, hello again. now the british opposition says the country's home secretary has been mishandling and immigration crisis. record numbers of asylum seekers crossed the english channel last week to try to get the k and critics to blame, pretty battelle for not securing an effective deal with french officials. home secretary is comprehensively failing in this policy area and hurting competence on this issue is dangerous. well, the have been an estimated $24.00 fives and the legal crossings of the english channel. so far the sheer that's about 3 times more than the year before. and that despite warnings about dangerous, if the route with at least 2 migrants dying in recent weeks. now following talks with the u. k, frans has taken some steps including evicting about 1500 migrants from a camp near the harbor. done cur candle offering to process their asylum requests

in the country, but many refused and set up another company by as they remain resolute on reaching the u. k. we spoke for the local volunteer who believes the situation is only theory, a tit amid the crack. then you have some people who sleep there, not many a few, but maybe they are in the woods. one here, one there. but for them it's so the moment very, very sad because the only place you can relax is when you know out in your thumbs and you can speak with your family. but for the moment they don't know where to go . molly, you came migration center representative, told us that both french and british officials are to blame for the crisis. i think the major removal of the migrants from the camp was one that was to try and 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 metal bar is johnson. the prime minister has said that he to needs to do something about the migrant crisis. these hollow were 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, electrical relationships to france and britain is severely damaged and it will take many years to recover that again, we've got plenty stories to r t dot com,

including a massive looting of stores in san francisco and made it criticism that the cities liberal government has gone soft on crime now the mer and police chief that at pledging to take action also. and if you don't come american media outlets that russia is preparing to invade neighboring ukraine, despite adamant denials by the criminal that his question officials have accused russia of cattle after the country's military, reinstated a prime minister. it had, i stayed just 2 months ago. ah, i cried, could be seen running from tear gas canisters and throwing them back at police protests as have rejected any government deal involving military forces and are angered by the deaths of dozens of people in the chaos that followed. last month's power transition, an exclusive interview, a member of the countries newly reinstated into in government to tell our sister channel, artie arabic less an investigation into the death is underway. the little meg is

that asked the state, the country is reached in the sense of economic collapse and in fighting between ruling parties, this is what led to it all by law. the military's role is to maintain security and stability in the country. the government has reached the point of collapse, so a correction of the revolutionary course should have taken place. so what happened in sedan is not a qu, but correction of the revolutionary course designed to maintain civil society and democracy and key constitutional order. unfortunately, some marches turned violence against police. his main role was to protect demonstrators. now we have an investigative committee, which is a supreme committee to investigate the killings of protested. i could assure you that any one complicit will be punished. this committee has already started work. it's a neutral committee, and in its reports, the committee confirmed that the police did not open fire, credible to him, and that bring shirt to data for this i just coming up to 11 30 in the morning here in moscow are good. had the company as usual from us at the top of the

ah, well the panoramic no city, no borders under block to nationalities and you various as a merge, we don't have a charity. we don't to look back. see the whole world needs to take action to be ready. people are judgment. 2 common crisis with we can do better, we should be doing better. every one is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great, the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together

with join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm . hm, when i would show seemed wrong when i just don't hold any world. yes, to shape out disdain becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground.

ah, ah. hello and welcome across stock. are all things considered? i'm peter level 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 ellie in budapest. he's a podcast her at the goggle, which can be found on youtube and locals. and here in moscow, we crossed to dmitri bobbitt. she is a political analyst and editor, and in us me, internet media project. a gentleman cross up rose in effect. that means he can jump anytime you want, and i would appreciate it. or i would start out with d. m a here in moscow, a president putin address to russia's foreign policy elite. and was quite interesting that he talked about red lines again to the point of reminding, as he likes to say, where his wet rushes, western partners, which i find quite whimsical, to be honest with you. but he did, he's basically saying you're not taking serious rhetoric very seriously, and you do it at your own peril. i mean, i don't know how much more straightforward and simple you can make it. ok, all you have to do is go to the web.
