[000:00:00;00] ah, ah b, a full scale violence stand off over new coven restrictions across europe. while the dutch private has been dismissed is protested as dissatisfied idiots. for his health service the and h. s. at breaking point with record waiting list, as the government watched or finds, it was ill prepared for the pandemic and failed to act on warnings. one co been victims relative tells us why he's angry. 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

business flights. and we didn't separate last year. and it's pretty shocking, ah, 5 dead and more than 40 injured after a vehicle plows into a christmas parade in the united states. police say they've detained a person of interest. ah! hello, good to have you with us live from moscow. this is archie international. i'm calling bray with the world news this our 1st for you. then, with a 4th wave of coven battering, you are a bright now e, you stay to re introducing extremely tough restrictions with blanket curfews and segregation for the unvaccinated. the dutch lead up has branded those protesting against the move idiot. as a prime minister, as a liberal, i will always defend demonstrations in this country as part of our democracy,

of our rule of law. what i will never accept is idiots who under the guise of we are dissatisfied use pure violence against people who are working every day to keep this country safe. ah good prime minister marketer then not pulling any punches when it comes to how he feels about those that took part in knights of violence across the netherlands over the weekend just gone. in fact, in rotterdam, 3 riots is that we had to received medical treatment for gunshot wounds. and our investigation is underway to try and establish whether those shots had been fired by the police. previous reports had said that said the police had fired warning shots as they struggled to contain with what the,

the cities man has called an orgy of violence. elsewhere in the netherlands involved in dal and elementary school was set on fire, also in coin. again. shops was smashed open, there was looting that went on here in germany. we didn't see those type of scenes over the weekend. what we do have heading into this week is a lot of new measures being taken to try and stop rocketing cove at 19 figures. in fact, in parts of the state of buttons voting bulk, you're going to be facing at 10 pm curfew. not allowed out your house at all as they try and get numbers down in not area proof of vaccination recovery or a negative test. you go, you need to be able to show one of those. if you want to do pretty much anything in some of germany's hardest hit states, including saxony and per area. i've called the 3 g method basically that you need to provide proof that you said how the vaccination or you've recovered or you have

a negative test. a lot of places going even further and adopting the 2 g policy that so only allowing access to certain areas if you are well vaccinated or you can prove that you've recovered. we've entered into the holiday period here in germany and from monday at around a lot of the country christmas markets opened up. in fact, in some places such as munich, there are no openings at all. some of the most famous markets not opening their doors again. this year because of the cobra pandemic. however, here in berlin, some are going to be doing just thought and you're going to need to pass not to g system proof of vaccination or proof of recovery elsewhere, though they're taking a much hard line. in fact, in hamburg, they've come and do a little controversy as they've, they've erected essentially offense through the christmas market, one side being for the vaccinated, the other side being for the own, vaccinated

a lot of measures being put in place. and we are expecting perhaps even more to come into play here in germany. the german health me to stay yen spahn really don't painting a very rosy picture of the state of affairs right now. i need to get them entered into us probably by the end of this winter or sometime cynically said, pretty much everyone in germany will be vaccinated, recovered or dead. but it's true with the highly contagious delta. very, this is very, very likely. elsewhere in europe, belgium saw violence in the capital, brussels on sunday is unseen, covered restriction demonstrations got very ugly indeed. in austria, they begin a new national lockdown on monday. will continue for at least 10 days, but could be extended through until the 13th of december. while in france, alarm bells ringing their with the countries health ministers saying they've been shocked at how quickly case numbers have increased across that country could well

be expecting to see new restrictions in france. very soon of britain's national that prince health secretary submitted that the state national health service waiting list, which it already hit record highs is likely to rise even further. to date, there are around 6000000 people waiting for scheduled hospital treatment. the chief executive of a group, the represent health service leaders, has attributed delays to underfunding, coven, 19, and failures in social care. even before the pandemic started the demands on the, in a record levels. yet the amount of money going into support and provide that service is shrinking because we mustn't forget you have to understand our government's handling of the panoramic 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 10000 doctors, 40000 nurses. this government been in power for 11 years in 2012. the introduce

a major legislative change which our soft and care provision in our bags. so we entered, depend them in a very curious situation. the problem is, the chance is being set up to fail. the government wants to tear them resembling 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. meanwhile, the government's been accused of not doing enough with a new report by the national orders office criticizing its response to covert this . pandemic was exposed to vulnerability to host 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 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. obviously nothing wrong with them. co cobra died of loss. people did in this country. so the fact that my grandfather, rural 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 to february really how so this is had to improvise. it's been bags. numerous stories of how services being led by the life or johnson 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 about the entire time. the report also notes that despite warnings about potential shortcomings ahead of the outbreak, the governments failed to act and suggested officials were to wrapped up in preparations for breakfast. however, downing streets defended it's respond, saying 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. tons of things are unprecedented. walking into the road is unrest, 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 to understand what the 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 with some reason. in britain we just didn't get our government used 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 century 5 longer, or we can close it an economy. okay. 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. possible. sobering thoughts on this women and urban communities have suffered disproportionate. socio economic effects in the pandemic and international and equality of widened was calling to a major new global report from the red cross cove. at 19, has amplified inequalities destabilized communities and reverse development gains

made in the past decades. we will never truly be able to say that this pandemic is over. if the socio economic coms are not addressed, any action will be meaningless. if we do not also consider the consequences of violence, discrimination, and exclusion in an integrated way, it will continue to be a crisis that affects us all. the report highlights some of the worst consequences of the crisis, including worsening unemployment. and loss of income is also been an accompanying increase in food insecurity. with communities globally finding it harder to feed their families. women in particular have become more exposed to sexual and gender based violence, as well as bearing the brunt of subsequent mental health impacts. or we can go live now to french as her rocker who's president of the international federation over red cross and red crescent societies. welcome to r t. your organization is a unique position to be able to assess these kind of impacts if it helps focus people's minds though,

did your researches find any particularly harrowing stories as they compiled their report? i say that i don't know what struck me get more i was reading about the situation and this are be conducted in salvador for example about women condition now during the low down and what was really hard to read, hey, was that and increase number of young teenagers are going to shout all day, they look down, they were bank. and so we had a lot of evidence that during, during the low down ended the most in the spot. they'll be fine meant that the nation where adopted to contain denials, spread of divide with stuff that we may know in that you know, maybe not only dead. unfortunately, we're really exposed to be at 6 violence and

and then we're also exposed to the mental health consequences all over the country when she's on the, on the 19th and the end. and these unfortunately is up and once again you got a call. we can meet every day in about about the we many being affected by the crisis. what do we need more or to understand that we have to do something from the more to protect the most vulnerable, especially women and children. now, during, during the crisis sex, we get in a concrete, we know these, they, they're not going to disaster. so when they are forced to migrate. and now be the last evidence of what i want to ask was when the pandemic hit, there was very much a sense as

a planet we were all in this together. we'll have to deal with it. and yeah, as your reports found, some sections of society have been left behind and this why have certain groups been harder head because there was still living in the people condition the doors were leaving. and if you got condition that before the crisis, and once again that is fun. dami got approved and saw that most marginalized groups, sex, women, and she them, as i said in the, especially developing countries, but not even in the western counties. he's been betty. we are now in the. ready in the 15 said a new dees, the number of ease up and especially in the most enable the add this to reach. so these is something that continue to happen. and unfortunately,

despite all the calls. busy that we meet on the ask that you might be better communicate to the call to the government to, to do more, to protect the most about our project so far. they are still leading the goal. and so when she's of the crisis, and women being disproportionately affected and not just in the poorer countries as you say. but look back over, the very said legacy that we are leading about all of that. we mean this saturday and, and then once again, they are out all day monday why vacated, got to take care of day of the over the family and the last day care of those affected by the coffee. and then in these, i'm very approach to that, all of the women in many, many societies that i created for the specific storm and as a consequences of the, of the, of the day mika plus when, when it comes to the, to the jobs in the market. on the job market,

the women i often employed in for my sector, and once again, the informal takes effect on why not be of the most exposed to day confinement and locked down. so they would be the longest get pushed along the for expect to lose a in the income, my dad, the job and doing these or with this great chain. because many of us women are doors. who are us following even got shorter than the last and then and that seats uses why did the conditional we mentally was week before the graduate said that the graduate stuff created even more weak. but before, one suspects that at the moment instead of thinking as a wider community, either in peoples towns or countries or continents, that people think largely of themselves. and that there's a great scramble to get back where they were. and it will be a survival of the most successful,

what will determine community speed of recovery from all this it's for me, but this is my bread. so i don't know if i can because i didn't finish the ration. i think i need to ship the ball or really are able to read night and to unify and to be new value. so here we must use these opportunity to address formed project damage and important duties to create a new hobby called this id. to be the society around around the values and bring people that it seems we are losing. and this is something that, that for me, is a streaming extremely vital. and then we also, we must not forget one other aspect of that. he's also did the review of the, of the society and believe us a community capital by later in the election inequity. so we are out here in the

western western country. we are administering the doors were communities a while in the developing countries. they are feeling dam 15 and 20 percent and sol, how we can talk about our global recovery if we are leaving the f you, which is why the, the, when it comes to the concrete fox that showed up and then to governments from, from the global leaders, and date if there's one thing to draw from this report is that communities way out is not going to be through selfishness. we really appreciate your time. joining us on our tea, francesco rock, a president of the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies . thanks very much. thank you. next tonight, the united nations raise the alarm over the humanitarian catastrophe in afghanistan, where half the population faces starvation as the winter sets it. ah.

to see the cash usage, trash and sand dramatically and just spread across a hand. coventry frantically in, challenging, severely acute, malnourished with a ww facing prospects with immediate. ah, just waiting for my caps. that was kind of fall. and we'll see real catastrophe. it was a submarine suspension or was amounts or with append to be the foundation of somebody basic services jobs as well. but the health education, i'm sick to agriculture right to the key of those who suspended hundreds of thousands of people mercer's hours 12 mm. must say that calls will be ricky, those the documentation,

but to rely upon the rain or myself 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 of the cities and towns about kind of a cute food insecurity on a daily basis in mm on the u. s. claims that it's allocated. mold a 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 company country. but the taliban says us sanctions dwarf the its given crippling the country preventing people from getting the supplies. if they so desperately need a saskia taylor now explained 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, lest we will remain at the sight of afghan women and men doing our duty to protect those. we can protect the 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 every thing to avert the real risk that is out there of a 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. well, 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 when 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 little wonder the towns, 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 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 and not 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. um, 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 pumps, 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 not people on the f b i's most wanted less, 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 what drones strike off to drone 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 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 in 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 would need to come in again to restore order and so forth. so we can see another cycle, possibly a beginning. now, a 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. russian gas company gas prong could suspend supplies to moldova. within 48 hours south of a small eastern european nation failed to settle bought gas from cold,

current payment spokesperson for the company says that despite the new deal being on moldova terms, and the $2.00 sides, agreeing to continue talks on more than $700000000.00 accrued in debt, but across his forest, his correspondence. danny, on so high that what more do we know at this point then? well yes, as far as you say, the concerns the deal with the most dover and gas from gas problem long negotiated over the deal came to something of a compromise with mold over over gas supplies. and over had wanted preferential pricing. they did come to an agreement signed on the 1st of november that was continuing an old deal for 5 years. but that did come on one condition. of course our condition was to simply pay for the supplies of gas that might sound simple. but that was supposed to be by the 22nd of november, 3 weeks later. here we are. mold over, haven't paid according to gas. prom hasn't kept it side of the bargain and

a spokesperson has come out and said that the supplies will be stopped in the next 48 hours. it is worth noting the molto. where says they haven't had any kind of notification from gas from so it seems like something of a misunderstanding on that least on their part as so that the in could just around of dried on this, this new deal to supply 3000000000 cubic meters of gas across those pipelines across ukraine into mole dover bull, as we say, a gas problem saying that it becomes a great disappointment. moldova hasn't kept their side of the deal. he may renewal . so given the difficult economic can financial situation of mold over the desire to preserve the possibility of paying non that obligations to gather from from all over guess from have decided to sign a contract as per moldova conditions. but there was one significant point. well there we should pay 100 percent of its current payments in a timely manner. the deadline was today and there is still no payment guessed from

is extremely disappointed by moldova, the failure to fulfill its contractual obligations. so as you heard, there came on one big condition to pay those debts on time. now before this contract was signed, there was a national emergency him alt over over dwindling supplies and rocketing prices for consumers and what was signed as a mutually beneficial deal. as such seems only to be mutually beneficial rather just to one side, moldova still not having paid those debts on time gas prom looking at stopping those supplies that they had promised in the deal within the next 48 hours. la, wednesday's gonna roll around pretty quick too. so we'll keep watch on that for now though, danny armstrong, thank you. 5 people have been killed when an s. u. v drove into a christmas parade in the state of wisconsin. another 40 people were injured including several children as to word of warning. there is disturbing video coming

up right now. that videos posted on central network show the moment the vehicle rammed into the crowd, the police chief of the city where the incident happened said a person of interest is now in custody. local media, quote, law enforcement source is stating that the suspects been identified as a 39 year old man with a criminal record. and that, that ruling out a terror link for now, police are also investigating whether he was fleeing a crime at the time. kevin owen spoke to a witness at the parade. it's a big proper, their annual thing, and our people come from a different towns and stuff to do it. so it's kind of like to kick out the holiday season. they were probably, i don't know, 40000 people there. you are filming it. you come to. so it all 1st hand. before we have a talk about it, let's just show a view is just

a little clip from some of what you filmed. oh my god, it was crazy. we were the 1st point where he entered the parade at so we were right around the corner. so when you see that he's worked around the track, there is a road and then that's very entered at. so we were the 1st people that he made contact with. yes. and he was doing at least $35.00 or 40 miles an hour down the crowded street. it was just an absolute instant chaos. he managed to go almost the entire length of the parade when he went through our band, he's drag 8 kids were were down in the kid that i was administering. first aid to both of his feet were like ran over and his legs were broken. you told his band was performing the upright a guess less while you were filming that. what when 3 a had is literally his muscle be so unexpected and it takes you just a moment to work out what's happening around you. first thing though,

that went through my head after i realized i couldn't stop the guy was i get the
