ah, ah a full scale violence stand off of it, new coverage restrictions across europe, while the dutch pm now dismissing for testers is dissatisfied with britons. health service dna chair said breaking point with the record waiting list. as the government watchdog finds, it was ill prepared for the pandemic and failed to act on warnings. one code that victims relative tells us why he's angry to the fact that my grandfather in west england was taken out by a virus, started in china because our government still allowed people to fly in business flights and separate last year. and it's pretty shocking,

ah, 5 dad and more than 40 entered up for a vehicle, plowed into a christmas parade in the u. s. police say they could take the person of interest today. and the world's worst humanitarian crisis, amid food shortages in afghanistan with washington, still blocking the country's assets to you and warding half the population faces starvation. as when to me. and i've never seen the crisis that the worse and so dramatically and just spread across a whole country. this money is just what he needed because if the library has collapse of problems kind of fall, then we'll see real catastrophe in this country. ah . are there live from out? he's will these h q moscow? this monday?

welcome to the program. it's kevin, over here with our latest news edition for you and her son with a 4th wave of covert battering year, a b u states reintroducing extremely tough restriction slowly with blanket curfews and segregation for the vaccinated. the dutch lead and branding those protesting against the move. idiots, the prime minister as a liberal, i will always defend demonstrations in this country sport of our democracy, of a rule of law. but what i will never accept is idiots who under the guise, if we are dissatisfied, he's pure violence against people who are working every day to keep this country safe. while the netherlands and belgium are 2 of the states worst hit by the violent demonstrations across the u at the weekend. ah,

as a 4th wave of the pandemic ravages the continent. we've seen more demonstrations across europe against covert measures here. there were also protests in croatia as well as denmark and several of the you countries with people venting anger against tightened coven restrictions such as

passes for entering restaurants, sports events, and even christmas markets. many people simply fed up with the meshes, or 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 for freedom and against dictatorship for freedom of choice and freedom of expression because this has died in italy. no, we've been young. we maintained that. this is a violation of the constitution. it is not possible to participate in social life. overt 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 a word before lisa. ruth, the government is implying, is getting out of hand that people who are vaccinated kind of into some buildings, because they only had 11. actually, this is just the main reason here. you know, people get discriminated here in vienna. the protest on saturday came after it with announced that austria would be going into

a full national lockdown for 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 motel, see, you know, 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. 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, pietro oliver c. vienna runs health secretaries admitted that the national health service waiting list, which is already hit record highs is likely to rise further. today there are 6000000 people waiting for shed yields hospital treatments. the chief executive of a group that represents health service leaders as attributed delays to underfunding, coven, 19, and failures in social care. dr. bob gill told me the chest was in bad shape even before the pandemic started. the demands on the record levels. yet the amount of money going into support and provide a service is shrinking because we mustn't forget you have to understand our government's handling of the pandemic on a background of a desire to privatize the chest. and let's not forget, before we enter the condemning again, it was short, short of 10040000 nurses. governments been in power for 11 years in

2012 to introduce a major legislative change, which alas, off and care provision in our bags. so we entered depend demik in a very curious situation. the problem is, the chance is being set up to fail. the government wants to deal with ambling the american system where you have skid row, public provision, and the middle class out for private insurance. that's what's going on and health care leaders are not filling this out to the public. so then on our side, i'm afraid. meantime the u. k. government has been accused of not doing enough with a new report by the national loaded office criticizing its response to cove. it this pandemic was 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 cobit 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 them. co cobra died of loss people did in this country. so the fact that my grandfather in west england was taken out by a virus that started in china because i government still allowed people to fly in business flights in february last year. it's pretty shocking. hancock giving away 600000 p to china get february. doesn't really how so this is had to improvise. it's been bags, numerous stories of how services being led down by the life or johnson, the very fact they didn't close borders, goes to show that they didn't understand the stress this would have on, on a chess,

along with the mental health the entire time. the report also was the despite warnings about potential shortcomings ahead of the break, the government failed to work and suggested officials to wrapped up in preparations for breaks it. however, down the streets, 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, and while there were extensive arrangements in place, this is an unprecedented pandemic that has challenged health systems around the world. 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 and 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 to 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 the years with for some reason in britain we just did get our 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 such as 5 longer or we can close it, an economy. okay. go ahead. what i've done is i tried to do an option a, it didn't work, we've lost lots of people in the economies to not to slap 5 were killed in an s u. v plowed into a crowd in the state of wisconsin earlier around 40 people are injured including several children. i would have warning there is disturbing video coming. now

videos posts on social networks show the moment that vehicle rammed into the crowds . the police chief for the tone of walk show where the incident happens that a person of interest is in custody. tonight, with the report, say, authorities for now ruling out to terror, lincoln there investigation. kellum open brought us more details on it. now the video that's going around social media shows a red sport utility vehicle plowing into the crowd. the injured are understood to have been members of a dance troops and the marching band, some of whom are children. now we understand there are 11 adults and 12 children were taken to nearby hospitals in the town of woke ashore. we also understand the white house is monitoring the situation very closely. 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 to the situation is being

described as very tragic and very chaotic. are we expect to hear more details from law enforcement. ready as this case develops out of the investigation continues, we haven't had something like that in the united states. much unfortunately, the more at least weapons related violence. but i mean, having like this, obviously you can always very 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, walk in the local, a local christmas break that happened therapy. and unfortunately, had to become more acclimated to this american, this is going to be a new thing. whoever was involved with it, if 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 mean, you wonder why people choose these events, the happy event, christmas parade. we were family, could just gone to church, it 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 does what happened here? i mean it to create maximum pay maximum separate and so that is where this comes and you ends raise the alarm of the humanitarian catastrophe. enough galveston where half the population faces starvation as the winter sets in. ah, she stitch parsons central magically into sprint across a hard country, frantically and challenging severely, acutely malnourished with a 1000000 more than a 1000000 facing a medium. ah, just what he needed because his class was kind of fall. then we'll see real

catastrophe. it was come from a suspension order with him to be the foundation of somebody basic services jobs as well. but the health education, wine sector, agriculture, absolutely key. and those who suspended class hundreds of thousands of people masters hours 12 mm. most proud to say that many calls will be written particulars that are got their attention, but to rely on the right now, my son was being ready for pastures this year. with dr. right from the start was start at the end of the year. it's projected that 9 out of 10 of the largest organize the cities and towns about kind of started with acute food security, hunger on a daily basis. mm. mm

. the us claims its allocated more than full $170000000.00 for humanitarian aid to the afghan people this year, including a $144000000.00 back in october and various humanitarian organizations have been distributing vital goods to the re, to bud. all that said the taliban saying us, sanctions dwarf the aid, it's given. the crippling the country preventing people from getting the supplies they need. suskin taylor reports the war might be over, but the 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 missed we will remain at the sight of afghan women and men doing our duty to protect those. we can protect the seat of working with the taliban. oh,

of course if necessary. ah, we'll, we'll 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 issue many, terry and disaster. we will continue to support the afghan people will lead with our diplomacy or international influence and our humanitarian aid. while all those leaders embarrass still by their failure to impose democracy on others by force turned to another favorite tactic, economic suffocation, that's right. they've shot the 8 bank a, not all foreign assistance has been halted. but that's not all when washington and it's nato allies fled. they took all afghanistan's cash. the u. s. has, for is an 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 little wonder the taliban is asking congress to give it all back. the freezing of us, it's an economic sanctions. can home health, education and other civil services from which the general public benefit damaged to these building blocks will serve as the worst memory ingrained and 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 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 all 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 unquote truth. it's not going to affect the government. what it does is affect the people are always and so that's the case and syria and that's the case. and so many different other countries as well. i'm 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 pocket 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 a scene almost like the, the moral a way 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 not people on the f, b i's most wanted list, he'll get punished. it's the average man on the street. the one who the what he

spent 20 years looking down the barrel of an american gun and watched drones strike off to drones strike blow apart his country. the turn of iron officials, the u. s. refuses to recognize, will get their monthly checks that doctors are now walking unpaid in hospitals with holes in that roof 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 either regime change which would be ideal for washington, maybe. or a civil war 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, 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 bass. taska taylor reporting that hope we can stick around his arts international thanks for checking in this monday. well, a shocking claim from a russia that roller what really happened before the sinking of the cursed submarine back in the year 2000. and it involves the pentagon. i'm kevin. oh it, i'll tell you all about that when we're back with

ah, ah, ah ah, ah, ah, a ah, it join me every 1st bit on the alex simon. sure. well, i'll be speaking the guess on the world politics. sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then

ah, so again, without international. so next the british opposition says the home secretary has been mis handling the immigration crisis. record numbers of asylum seekers crossed the english channel last week trying to enter the u. k. and critics blame pretty patel for not securing an effective deal than with french authorities. home secretary is comprehensively failing in this policy area and her incompetence on this issue is dangerous. there have been an estimated 24000 illegal crossings of the english channel so far this year as around triple the number in 2020. and despite the warnings about the dangers of the route 2, with at least 2 migrants dying in recent weeks or falling talks with britain,

france has taken some steps including evicting about 1500 migrants from a camp near the harbor of dunkirk and offering to process that are so many requests in the country, but all that said, many of still refuse, they've set up another camp nearby. they remain resolute. they say about reaching the u. k. we spoke with a local volunteer who believes the situations only got worse. since the crack though. you have some people who sleep the air. it's not many a few that maybe the are in the woods one year one. they're better for them. it's at the moment. very, very sad because the only place you can relax it's when you out in your plan, you can speak with your family, but for the woman did not know where to go. we while a u. k. migration campaign told us 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 on to boats going to prison. 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 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. so next, and potentially game changing theory by the sinking of rushes. kursk submarine more than 2 decades ago is dominating national headlines here. it's off for state news agency spoke to the former commander of the northern fleet, who said the crop collided with a nato vessel. he's done with court has got the latest on it. there are a lot of theory still going around as to what actually sank the russian nuclear submarine curse back in 2000. some people say that it may be collided with an old world war to mine. other say it could have potentially even been sabotaged, but as for the official russian government investigation, moscow says that it sank because a defective torpedo exploded on board. but in his recent interview with re a nova city, the former commander in chief of the northern fleet actually gave his version of events. he says that the curse collided with

a nato submarine that was tracking it at the time. the submarine, the collided with a curse, had apparently been tracking it, but got to close or there was a maneuver that led to a collision. i know the name of the submarine with a 90 percent certainty, but in order to disclose it publicly, there needs to be proof and it needs to be released. and i cannot release it. above 1st gave his version of events, not long after the submarine was destroyed, back in 2000 at the same time of the blast to b, u. s. nuclear submarines, memphis and toledo. we're also in that area. and the russian ministry of defense requested permission from the pentagon to inspect those vessels. the pentagon said no and that they were in perfect working order. as for the russian government, they have retained the same stance on the version of events. we will know comments on this version. you know that there has been an investigation. the investigation has come to an ultimate conclusion. that is why we do not want to comment on any

other hypotheses. so of course, there still are a number of different versions going around about as, as to what exactly happened. yeah, friends and family who live closely that on by okay. online from us, a mass looting of stores in san francisco. a mid criticism that the cities liberal government gone soft on crime these days now the mer and police chief of pledging to take action. read that story, get the background on our site. plus to another one, i'd like to tell you about american media outlets claiming moscow's preparing to invite neighboring ukraine. despite adamant denials for the credit. as western officials accused russia of conducting a military build up near the border, i wanted to alert you to those to day the so much more dotsie dot com if you get a minute spare to check it out. unless the way things are looking so far, it's coming up to 28 minutes past the hour. live for moscow here at our t h q. it's kevin, our in the team wishing it well and thank you for watching this news edition.

ah, no one else. so think wrong, when all proves just don't hold me you world yet to shape out disdain becomes the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will to part, we choose to look for common ground. and he really is so thing they can't ride on police report on december 2020 a group of anti fascist. fill out a film crew access for 3 months. so like if people organization, if an idea that it must be a pose, that channel out the gate, they may kill that basis. but they can say what they believe in. we believe in

helping our community. we believe that fascism is one of the major threats to the united states has gotten reuben, this is a chance to see who and t for really are in order for me, that my 1st amendment right and say that my life matter have to be on to the teacher, that's all america. we can't trust the police. we can't trust the government. we can't trust anyone except ourselves to protect ourselves in. oh is your media reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation, whole community? are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is great?

in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, so on in the song you're working yet? yes, somewhere go anymore, but i mean, the sticker was more, it's sport. elaine that with just look up and you knew that can't remember which best. it's alex, it's a 100 even and upset community. a new life with the most was like no year. the pasta guys then you need.
