ah ah, it is feared the number of victims could rise after a car ploughed into a christmas parade in wisconsin to the u. s. 5 people were killed and at least 18 children are in the hospital. 6 are critically healed. we hear from a father who witness what happens. 8 kids were worked down in the kid that i was administering. first aid to both of his feet were like ran over and his legs were broken. huh. a full scale violence event. stand off over at new coven restrictions across europe, while the dutch pm dismisses protesters as dissatisfied idiots and brittany health service. we any just breaking point with record waiting lists.

that's out of the government watchdog finds it was ill prepared for the pandemic and failed to act on warnings. one covered victims relative tells us why he's angry . so the thought that my grandfather in west england was taken out by a virus in china because our government still allowed to fly in business flights. and with shocking, ah, broadcasting lot of direct from studios in moscow. this is an international i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now police have named a 39 year old man who, who is an under arrest after an s u. v was driven into a christmas parade crowd in wisconsin, killing 5 people. it has been confirmed that all of those who died were between the ages of 52 and 81. darrell brooks junior faces 5 counts of intentional homicide.

and a bit of a word of warning the following. falling images are disturbing. oh, it is posted on social networks that show the moment the vehicle ran into the crowd . and children's hospital in wisconsin says it's treating 18 youngsters 6 of whom are in critical condition. more than 40 people were injured. my calling kevin no one spoke to a witness at the parade. it's a big part for their annual thing, and people come from different towns and stuff to do it. so it's kind of like to kick out the holiday season. there were probably, i don't know, 40000 people there. you were filming it. you can the so it all 1st hand. before we have a talk about it. let's just show a view. it's 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 truck, there is a road and then that's very entered at. so we were the 1st people that he made contact with. yeah. and he was doing 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 struck 8 kids 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. your daughter's bond was performing upright against us while you were filming that. what when 3 i had is literally, this must all be so unexpected and it takes you just a moment to work out what's happening around you 1st saying that there went through my head after i realized i couldn't stop the guy was i get the kids off the street

into safety and there's a lot of people who, who've never seen that i'm and unfortunately i've seen trauma before. 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 mover and tell them people to get some blankets out here. my family and kids are still traumatized. we were talking with the police officers until about 1 o'clock because we actually saw the driver's face and we're giving descriptions that most of my kids are are still sleeping now. i really couldn't sleep. so meanwhile, a democratic party, stafford caused uproar soon after the incident by using a series of contentious twitter post to sarcastically equate the incident to call written houses, acquittal for murder in the same state. it's probably just self defense. the social media director said using the same terminology, used in the acquittal of written house and referring to the situation as karma

against the state of the mob and reports. and many would believe that the tragic incident in war cassia would have helped the country overcome the divisions resulting from the kyle written house trial, which just concluded with an acquittal. but now we're seeing a situation where a democratic party staffer in the us state of illinois is dragging kyle written houses name into the aftermath of the walk hasha incident. we had mary levinsky, a democratic party staffer in the state of illinois for do page county. basically bringing up the kyle written house acquittal and tying it to the incident in walk cash in which the car plowed into the parade. here's what she said. it was probably just self defense. i'm sad. i'm sad anytime any one dies, i just believe in karma. and this came around quick on the citizens of wisconsin.

now laments, he had been the social media director of the do page, county democratic party of illinois. but at this point, no one is listed for that position on the website of the democratic party of du, page county. they have distance themselves from her controversial comments. the democratic party of 2 page county immediately several times with mary landscape. once we became aware of her callous and reprehensible posts, she does not speak for us and we end quickly reject her statements about the tragic events that occurred yesterday and walk asia. we as a party, denounce the violence of any kind, but the democratic parties reaction didn't seem to appease americans. she only said out loud what you're all thinking. you all have 0 shame. your party is morally bankrupt. good luck in 2022. but she spoke for you before you several days. shame on democrats who promot criminality and division. now this brings to the front,

how much the written house trial highlighted disagreements between the 2 sides in us politics and the fact that it hernandez, tragedy took place. yet these comments were made in the aftermath shows how incidents like this are being used to fuel internal conflicts in the united states . there is a very big gap among the us public. no question about it. with a 4th wave of coven battering europe, you states are re introducing extremely tough restrictions with blanket curfews and segregation for the vaccinated. the dutch leader has branded those protesting against the move it. it's an exhaust alternate as prime minister and as a liberal, i will always defend the right to demonstrate in this country that is part of our democracy, of our rules of law. but what i will never accept is that idiots under the guise of being dissatisfied, you share violence against the people who work for you and me every day in the field. to keep this country safe,

won't touch prime minister marketer. they're 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. 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 gun 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 any in some of germany's hardest hit states, including saxony and varia, called the 3 g method, basically that you need to provide proof that you've 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 their 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 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 ministry, yen spahn,

really painting a very rosy picture of the state of affairs. right now. i'm 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, the belgian sold violence in the capital, brussels on sunday is unseat covert restriction. demonstrations got very ugly indeed. in australia 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 there with the countries health ministers saying they've been shocked at how quickly case numbers have increased across the country. could well be expecting to see new restrictions in france. very soon. britton's health secretary has admitted that the national health service waiting list,

which has already hit record highs is likely to rise further to date. there are around 6000000 people waiting for scheduled hospital treatment. the chief executive of the group that represents health service leaders has attributed delays to under funding covered 19 and failures in social care. and that was, even before the pandemic started the demands on the, in a chest or a record levels, get the amount of money going into support and provide the services and shrinking. because you 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 so short of 10040000 nurses. this government's been in power for 11 years in 2012 to introduce a major legislative change which our soft and care provision in the 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 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. meanwhile, the u. k. government has been accused of not doing enough with a new report by the national audit office, criticizing its response to corporate. 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 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 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 our government still allowed people fly in business flights and we have been separated last year. it's pretty shocking. hancock giving away 600000 needed to p to china get february. doesn't really how so this is had to improvise it been bags. numerous stories of how service is being led down by the life time or is johnson very, but they didn't close borders to show that they didn't understand this just this would have on, on a chest, along with the mental health about the entire time. the report also note that despite warnings about potential shortcomings ahead of the outbreak of the government failed to act,

it also suggested officials were to wrapped up in preparations for briggs. it, however, downing street has 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 that what's gonna happen when you walk in the street? we walk into the street with the knowledge that we have left them right? these people did it. we don't need to kind of based the food in charge. we need meritocracy. we need the scientists. we need people talking about the whole process has been done by people that don't understand science. don't take it seriously. it's 56 days to introduce masks,

countries like career and china been using some reason in britain we just didn't get the government list for money 1st they for well, you know, we can keep on board is open, which would potentially kill a large population of people but the economy would countries 5 on the or we can close it and economy will take a hit while they've done this, i tried to do option a, it didn't work. we've lost most people in the economies to not to slap women and urban communities have suffered disproportionate. socio economic effects in the pandemic. and international inequalities have widened according to a major new global report from the red cross. proven 1. 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 comes 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 and some of the worst consequences of the crisis, including worsening unemployment and loss of income. there has 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 being, bearing the brunt of subsequent mental health impacts. the red cross and red crescent president told us how he is deeply worried about societies most vulnerable . i did not. doors were leaving in if you got condition before the crisis. and once again, these ideas on dami. gus bruce did and saw that most marginalized groups. we men and she them, as i said in the, especially in the developing countries but not all,

even in the western countries. he's been very, very, very clear now in the. ready in the settings, a new number all the way up and it especially the most difficult, enable the add this to reach. so these is something that continue to happen. and unfortunately, despite all the calls. busy that we meet not on the app that you might need on community to the call to the government, to do more, to protect the most about it. and so far as they are still leading the consequences of the crisis, these unfair approach to 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 over the job market. the women are often employed

in 4 months factor. and once again, the informal effects, why not be of the most exposed to data confinement and low balance. we must use these opportunity to form that project. they make it in important to create a new hobby comedy 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 extremely, extremely by dollars more than half of new york police officers say that they would not join the force if they had the option to do it. again, that's from an internal poll of nearly 6000 uniformed officers taken in march, which was been revealed by the new york post. now nearly 3 quarters of the officers surveyed, also think that the public does not have a good relationship with the police. with a majority feeling that the public disrespects and distrusts them. also an

incredible 80 percent of respondents say that they are afraid to aggressively fight crime due to criminal liability fears, now being sued or well unfairly disciplined. what's perhaps most alarming is that the survey took place before the landmark police reform initiative in may, which banned police are using. show colds, assigned a special prosecutor, the police involved death and limited qualified immunity, which protected officers against civil lawsuits. and that opened the door to civilians looking to sue please for certain suspected violations. now prior to the reforms, please said that they believed crime rates would become even worse. let's take a look. 79 percent of those who responded to the survey said that they did not believe the city would be any favor in the next 2 years with new york crime rates for october up 11.2 percent on last year's. that's a major concern to the police department. police officer sergeant zeek arkham says

police officers have become increasingly stigmatized. every cops i speak to in the y p d. just feel that everyone is against them, from the public to the elected officials, to the mayor. even the higher ups b, y p, just feel like there's no right, they can ever do valuable crime, fighting tools like spot question frisk were taken away. you know, legal options for people who want to sue police were expanded. you know, every, every elected official now has a platform. they want to go directly after police. this is going to be getting one safer, was going to make cops apprehensive and empower in bold in criminals. as we've seen, the poll didn't surprise me or didn't surprise long foresman experts at all. you know, like i said, you want to have programs like defun, the police, which are directly going after cops. you have elected officials standing up and they should more empathy towards hard and criminals then towards the police that actually went out in corporate criminals. you know,

we have elected officials who campaign promises. we are going to actively prosecute cops, or what else could you possibly expect to happen? cuts on going to when i got the risk, their future, their, their family, their, their financial will be. so they're going to take a step back and this isn't going to make anyone's, they would say for the us state department has called on the you to boost it's military autonomy by raising different spending. state department counselor, derek chalet says that's in washington zone interest. we want to stronger europe, it's in america's interest for europe to be more capable militarily, it's important to get out to the theoretical row, the think tank realm, strategical autonomy and to talk about pragmatic practical solutions. chalet added that european defense ministers have long pledged to spend more on weapons, but that so far they have always been blocked when they go back to their parliaments or governments for approval. he has also offered washington's expertise

on what kind of capabilities member states should focus on. but a political analyst told us its main interest in wanting all of this is to sell more american weapons allies. 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 and back and taking over 50, doing euro budget. a france to 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 this big difference between the strategies of the nation, some of what national nation faced in europe and the us, 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 weigh european countries natal country into strengthening

their side. within the alliance, the washington is going to have to fight something much more delicate and more strategic than that. you and has raised the alarm over the humanitarian catastrophe . and galveston were half the population faces starvation as a winter sets in. ah, to see the cash usage, the parsons change dramatically and just spread across a hard country, properly and challenging a huge amount of hours for the $1000000.00 to facing for prospects with immediate. i'll me just what he needs because his class is kind of fall and we'll see real catastrophe

in this country a suspension or was amounts of it with him to be the foundation of somebody basic services jobs as well. but the health education mindset, agriculture absolutely key and those were suspended house. hundreds of thousands of people unless they're salaries for me. just say that mit comes with the documentation, but to rely on the rain was my stuff 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 insecurity, hunger on a daily basis. and mm

the u. s. a claims it's allocated more than $470000000.00 for humanitarian aid to the afghan people this year, including $144000000.00 back in october. and various us sanctions dwarf, the 8 it has been given and our crippling the country preventing people from getting the supplies they need. he's actually south get taylor with commentary. 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 everything 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 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 be 8 bank a. 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 damaged to these building blocks will serve as the worst memory ingrained in afghans at the hands of america . but following a 2 decades long pattern of pacing little value on afghan life, the u. s. is not backing down. now. u. s. officials made clear to the taliban for years, the dis, they pursued a military takeover rather than a negotiated settlement with fellow afghans than critical non humanitarian aid provided by the international community in an economy enormously dependent on aid, including for basic services would oh, but cease that is what occurred. so washington wants to see reform before handing over any aid. that's fine. a lot of people would agree, but they're ignoring one on can truth. it's not going to affect the government.

what it does is affect the people are always and so that's the case in syria and that's the case. 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 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 the, the country of afghan in order to create some level of strife or instability that might provide the pre conditions a for perhaps a either regime change which would be ideal for washington, maybe or a civil war where the, the west or an international peace keep.
