ah, ah, a full scale violence stand off over new coded restrictions across europe. while the dutch prime minister dismissed is protested as the satisfied idiot. britons health service, the nature of breaking point with record waiting lists. as the government watchdog finds, it was ill prepared for the pandemic and failed to act on warnings. one code victim to relative tells us why he's angry. so the fact that my grandfathered rural west england was taken out by a virus in china because our government still allowed people to fly in from business flights. and whoo, honda in february 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, monday evening at 9 here in moscow. money was calling bright welcome to your well news from arte international 1st for you. then with a 4th wave of coven battering europe. right now, you states reintroducing extremely tough restrictions with blanket curfews and segregation for the unvaccinated. the dutch leaders branded those protesting against the moons as 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

touch 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 receive 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 in was in doubt. an elementary school was set on fire also in goin again,

shops were 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 p. m. 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 but area of called the 3 g method, basically that you need to provide proof that you've, as i 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 opening at all. some of the most famous markets, not opening that doors. again, this year because of the covert pandemic, however, here in berlin, some are going to be doing just thought 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 come under 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 ministry, yen spahn, really painting

a very rosy picture of the state of affairs. right now. i need to get them in the thesis. been to 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 unsee covey. restriction demonstrations got very ugly indeed. in austria, they begin a new national lockdown on monday. we'll continue for at least 10 days, but could be extended through until the 13th of december. while in france, alarm bells ringing there with the country's 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. are britton's health. secretary submitted that the national health service waiting list, which is already hit record highs,

is likely to rise even further. to date are around 6000000 people waiting for scheduled hospital treatment. chief executive of a group that represents health service leaders since attributed delays to under funding, coven 19, and failures in social care. even before the pandemic started the demands in the, in a chest, or at 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 panoramic on a background of a desire to privatize the chest. and let's not forget, before we enter the pandemic again, it was short, short of 10040000 nurses. this government's been in power for 11 years in 2012 to introduce a major legislative change with our software 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 take them with them billing 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. well, the government's been accused of not doing enough with a new report by the national audit office, criticizing its response to cove. it 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. i've seen nothing wrong with him. cocoa died as

a lot people did in this country. so the father my grandfather and grew 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 it's pretty shocking my hancock giving away 600000 new p to china as a gift in february. does a really how so this is an employee hasn't been bags yet this there's numerous stories of how services being led down by life or is johnson to verify that increased orders goes to show that they didn't understand the stress this would have on, on a chest along with the mental health on dots as it is this entire time, the report also note the despite warnings about potential shortcomings ahead of the outbreak, the government failed to act and suggested officials were to wrapped up in preparations

for breakfast. however, downing street defended its response, 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. i was going to happen when you walk into street, m. o. we walk into the street, the knowledge that we have to look left to right. these people did. 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 56 days to introduce masks, countries like career and china been using last year's were for some reason in

britain we just didn't get our government list for of money 1st they for, well, you know, we can either keep our pool is open, which would potentially, you know, kill a large population of british people for the economy with such as 5 longer or we can close it in economy. okay, go ahead. what they'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 or the coven fall. our women and urban communities have suffered disproportionate, socio economic effects. the pandemic and international inequalities have widened. according to a major new global report from the red cross, coven 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. on the report highlights some of the worst consequences of the crisis, including worsening unemployment and loss of income. there's been an accompanying increase in the food insecurity as well, 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. lost our, the presidents of the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies told me he's most worried about the vulnerable not doors were leaving in a condition that before the crisis. and once again, these ideas on dami gus bruce and saw that most marginalized groups, we men and she said that they developing countries, but not all, even in the western countries. these are being betty. we are now in the. ready in

the manufacturing st. a new din number, although we've never lisa, as i've been, especially the most enables for the address 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 need community to the call to the government to, to do more to protect it most. we're going to border so far as they are still needing to go and say when she's on the crisis. these, i'm very brought 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 pandemic class. when, when it comes to the, to the jobs in the market, the albany market, the women are often employed in the 4 months sector. and once again,

the informal effects, why not be of the most exposed to the confinement and low balance. we must use i. d 's $22.00 plus formed project. they make it important to create a new hobby company society to be the society around around values and bring people that it seems we are losing. and this is something that, that, for me, is a streaming extremely vital 5 people have been killed when an s u. v. drove into a christmas parade in the state of wisconsin and other 40 people were injured including several children dentist, word of warning there is disturbing video coming up right now. ah. videos posted on social networks show the moment the vehicle ran 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 their ruling out at tara link for now, police are investigating though, whether he was fleeing a crime at the time. kevin owen spoke to a witness at that parade. it's a big part of their annual thing and 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 were filming it, you kind of so it all 1st hand before we have a talk about it. let's just show up views 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 do, and at least $35.00 or 40 miles an hour down the crowded street. and 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 down in the kid that i was administering 1st day to both of his feet were like ran over and his legs were broken. you're told his band was performing the pray to guest less while you were filming that. what went 3 ahead is literally, this must all 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 kids off the street into safety. there's a lot of people who, who've never seen that i'm and unfortunately i've seen trauma before. i. so i just started getting people in groups connecting them with each other,

getting them to safety. i'm trained in combat 1st aid. so i started, you know, checking the pulses, making sure the kids are bree, then, you know, not move and tell people to get some blankets out here. my family and kids are still traumatized. we're talking with the police officers until about 1 o'clock because we actually saw the driver's base. we're giving descriptions. most of my kids are are still sleeping now i i really couldn't sleep. so the clock's ticking for moldova russian gas company, gas prom could suspend supplies within 48 hours after the small eastern european nation failed to settle work as prom. cole's current payments accompany spokesperson said that despite the new deal being all moldova terms and the 2 sides agreeing to continue talks on more than $700000000.00 that's been accrued in debt as can live correspond. danny armstrong, who's across his forest high that what more do we know at this point? yes, of course you said this is the deal between mold over and bushes, state energy provider gas promo. a deal was signed and gas from began resupply in

the country with gas supplies, and the 1st of november, now that deal with an extension of an old deal turned into a new 5 year deal. when it was concluded on one condition, the condition was the most over paid for those deliveries. no might sound simple enough, but here we are 3 weeks later on the deadline for those payments, the 22nd of november and it still hasn't been paid. now gas poem has said that it's with great disappointment, but the going to have to stop those deliveries in the next 48 hours. now it does seem strange, given that deal was concluded on decent terms for moldova, he may remove, given the difficult economic and financial situation of mold over the desire to preserve the possibility of paying none that obligations to guess from from all the guests 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, i guess from is extremely disappointed by moldova, the failure to fulfill is contractual obligations. so it seems that the inc, because only just tried on this deal, and already moldova, having kept this side of the bargain, as you heard the guy from saying it comes with great disappointment and a little bit of shock. of course, especially given that this was a good deal for me all over, they asked for preferential pricing because problem long negotiated on the deal. met them at a compromise which makes it all the more strange. it would have been the 3000000000 cubic meters of gas across those pipelines across ukraine and into mold over winter is cooling the temperatures are expected to drop below mine in the coming days is seems very, very odd that malt over would have turned and those up at such

a good deal, especially given the crisis across europe, this deal did pull mold over out of its own crisis, its own national emergency due to those dwindling gas supplies and rocketing prices for consumers. and perhaps the most change thing of all it's that, moldova says, they haven't had any notification from gas, from a toll. so yes, as she say they call in the air the clock very much ticking me tom a couple of sleepless nights and negotiations in that particular corner of europe. okay. without any armstrong, thanks for that x. the u. s. state department has called on the e u to boost it's military autonomy by raising defense spending. state department counselor, derek turley says that sim, washington's own interest. we want a stronger europe. it's in america's interest for europe to be more capable. militarily. it's important to get out to the theoretical realm, the think tank rome, strategical ptolemy, and to talk about pragmatic, practical solutions. or to la,

added the european defense ministers of long pledge to spend more on weapons, but that so far they've always been blocked when they go back to their parliament and governments for approval. and we also offer washington's expertise on what kind of capabilities the member states should focus on. get some more on this now it's not political analysts, nicholas markovich, welcome back to r t. now nicholas acidic might say that washington would like a you members to spend more on their defense because then that have more cash to go shopping for american weapons. is that a bit too cynical to think? no, i think that the bottom line or what's coming out of this statement is that the u. s. today we're seeing is heavy and difficulties, i think in its defense, but at its own defense budget, or we've seen these past years. we've heard us president trump know by it and saying that the european countries need more current to really increase the percentage of g d p to reach the 2 percent mark, which is the actual binding engagement with nato. the european nations are not

meeting that target. there's no defensive and maybe practically, maybe offensive capabilities here in europe. but i think the whole story is about that is about your opinion. countries losing their budget to buy american weapons. but i like it because even the most hawkish governments are going to struggle to increase defense spending at the tail end of a pandemic. the 4th way of coming along and economies that are already struggling is going to be practically impossible in the current situation because of the pandemic, because of poverty because of unemployment because of so many difficult situations are western europe is going to now is going to be practically impossible to boost these budgets. and this all of a sudden comes from out of the blue, some specific threat which would to justify this and lead the population to think that it would be good to increase their participant. so that is practically impossible, but it is thing also that washington, on his side is, is going to face difficulties. reason it's better to meet the needs of what it was strategically in europe. don't forget that brzezinski in his day and he crafted out

of the u. s a foreign affairs said that a europe was american. busy geopolitical strategic, a bridge, head in your asia, so the us definitely didn't want to do this, but it can't do it without your opinion. countries, nato countries, spending more money and spending more money on their weapons. so the u. s. is actually saying that it's failing in europe today, but presumably the u. s. is going to have to offer more of a sweetener in order to keep those allies on site across the atlantic. definitely, especially that we've seen these past 2 years, that there are a lot of cracks within the nato alliance. and we can mentioned when you transfer people out recently about what the us did by stabbing france in the back and taking over 50, doing euro budget a france, the people in france are saying we're, we're a major arms. we've got a big arms industry today. we want to sell arms. why would be by american, if we can build our own arms? and we see that the big difference between the strategies of the nation,

some of what natural nations based in europe and the us. we seen different similar cracked between greece and turkey. both members of nato pressed again enter both members of nato. so there are the we see the major point and that's maybe not forget that amino macro said a couple years ago that nato was brain dead. that we see that today, the made the biggest problem, the u. s. is facing, is having a collective strategy. there's inviting within the within nato. and there's nothing more than the u. s. can bring today and they spend more money and buying my weapon . this is definitely not something which is going to its way european countries natal country into strengthening their size within the alliance the washington is going to have to fight something much more delicate and more strategic than that. so it's not a native there. and what role do you think washington would like europe to play in times of things like can strategic regions like china? the only thing washington was, is the, your conditions in nato to day nato. there is no doubt about that. the best,

the way that's the reason why nato exists. that's the reason why it has not been disbanded, even though the soviet union as disappears. and that's why nato was the, was developed. that's why nato destroyed. busy a european sovereign country, yugoslavia and european countries followed the us. this was not as the interest of the european countries, but european countries followed because you had the washington is pulling the strings. so the only washington once is the european countries. follow ne doris. i forget that when french military ships are in the r in the ocean, they're under american command. and that's the way you are seized. nato is always under american command. ok. nicholas markovich. really appreciate your time on this, but little honest john, thanks for joining us on the program this evening. thank you, ends raised the alarm over the humanitarian catastrophe in afghanistan, where

a half the population faces starvation as the winter sets in. ah, to see the assistant parsons dramatically in to spread across a hard country, frantically and challenging severely, acutely malnourished with a ww facing prospects unless i get the media ah, just what he needed because of his classes perhaps kind of fall and we'll see real catastrophe in this country a suspension or was amounts or with him to be the foundation of somebody basic services jobs as well. but the health education, i'm sick to agriculture. i to the key and those were suspended hundreds of

thousands of people with their got their attention but to rely on the rain. i was and my son was being rude in the past years. 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 started with acute food insecurity, hunger on a daily basis. mm. mm. and now you're up to date. those are the stories are across here at altitude. moscow will be back to that you and just to have a half an hour. ah,

join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. but i'll be speaking together for the world of politics, sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm . hello. this is in in there's things we dare to ask in a police report in

december 2020 a group of anti fascist, allowed a film crew access for 3 months. so if people organization, if an idea that it must be of how the channel out the gate, they may kill that. but he says what they can say, what they believe in. we believe in helping our community. we believe that fascism is one of the major threats to united states has gotten proven. this is a chance to see who and t for really are in order for me to extract my 1st amendment right and say that my life matters have to be on to the people that i found there. good. we can't trust the police. we can't trust the government, we can't trust anyone except ourselves to protect ourselves in with,

[000:00:00;00] in show on, in the song or what you're washing a stick. i was more over the total length of so if you took up a new order for which this time, if you don't upset convinced id, think it's a new life for them to finish it. more than what you post as many, pretty much the post on your critical illness. definitely post done that was problem with for trans, telling you to me because i mean it wasn't angel got the wrong snap benefits from getting financing with
