a 1000000000 free test for americans. he will so pledge to open more testing sites . but despite that, it seems that many of actually closed down and due to staff shortages, including 13 in new york and new jersey, which were all corresponding caleb open. reports from the lines are growing here in new york city. and so as the frustration, 13 different coven testing centers throughout the city close down to day. all while demand for tests is rising amid and increasing infection rate. we spoke to some people who are waiting to get coven tests here and manhattan. that is a horrible, honestly, you know, you see how many people are on this line right here. and most of my friends have to wait on line for hours and hours to get tested. i've had to wait on the line for hours to get tested. so it makes no sense to be that's not good. it's probably why i'm standing on line and the 26 degree weather, the end of the day. it's the holidays. we have a surge, we have to be vigilant,

active, and we do need more testing centers. i mean, look at these lines. there's a 100 people on this line. i think it's making the lines really long. a lot of you will need to get tested, says, note they're saved. it becomes a whole drama amongst friends and family. i live with roommates, they need to know. i live in the same room with them and you know, i'm doing this, i'm going to say, now keep in mind, we're seeing a rapid rise in the infection rate throughout new york city. keep in mind the entire cities, coven, 19 infection rate, for the month of november, was only $35800.00. so quite a spike in coven, 19 positive tests. now we're here in a situation where people are seeing this as joe biden, not keeping his promises. just recently, he was promising more. coven tests would be available. dr. found she the u. s. government health officials and joe biden is saying that if you're not vaccinated, you shouldn't be seeing your family for the holiday season and worry so much about people who still to this point refused to get vaccinated. the virus is going to

nato. those who have not yet grasped the essence of the russian position should understand this very clearly. wiley of this model to nato vowed to continue its eastward expansion while also accusing moscow planning to invade ukraine. the claim, the kremlin denies, among other things, russia, one solid guarantees the ukraine can never join nato viewing. not as the best way to prevent any escalation of conflict in the country. although speaking on friday, the white house said it still supports nato expansion. something that the chief of the alliance says is demonstrated by its proactive assimilation of new members. nato has proven over the last years that sir, our open door policy is not only something we are support in words, but those in deeds party by inviting to new countries, montenegrin north macedonia to become a member. so we have enlarged a line so that all spheres with 2 new members, despite protests from,

from russia. and also we are supporting ukraine in france, efforts to come closer to nato membership on a lie to know beforehand metalli. after all, it's the busiest time with yet so far the christmas party is to order that managed to track him down all the way in that plant. he's probably the busiest man on the planet right now, but where some to close lives generally depends on where in the world you are. where does santa claus live in? at the north boy. every one knows in africa. yeah. yeah. yeah, right. yeah. so you get to to look to, oh, so left to right and yes so, so are on there, i have no idea, but i guess somewhere in finland main present day. i think santa claus and polity living somewhere where there's a nice b and night,

little i factory that he has for all the time actually sag authorization in norway in new york, the north wall, new york city north fall in north america. the answer is usually that he lives in the north pole, but there's a few problems with that. firstly, there's no buildings there for sumter in his elves to live in, and it's far too cold. secondly, there's no christmas trees at the north pole. in fact, there's no trees at all and you don't usually see some to slay being pulled by these guys. of course pulling sun to slay is the elite team over reindeer and looking after those reindeer is johann, who has the wonderful title of ring dio whisper. johan, a thanks very much for talking to us. we're looking at where son to lives. now. there was some room as he lives in the north pole, but radius can't live in the north po can like no, am i sans ice originally from my mount ear corner of the room dory. but he was here

in robin name. it because it's easier for people to reach to him then i'm the rangers are here in northwell, there's nothing to leave round. you look after the reindeer. how do you whisper to a reindeer? what makes hello heard his name. what makes a good rain? d. f. a santa ah, the reindeer needs to be patient. it needs to be curious. it needs to be strong enough and bold enough. if they are too shy, they are afraid to fly over the skies. now what does the rain do? you do for relaxation when it's not flying. they are just, you know, chilling, playing down, eating, chatting with the friends, you know, but that leaves us with quite the problem. what about all of the letters to tom said that are addressed to him at the north pole? i'm here in the bustling epicenter of santa's post office, enjoined by a very busy postal elf cold. here he's taking some time out of her dear to talk to her 30. thanks very much. welcome welcome to santa claus main,

post office. thank you very much for having me. now. the question i have is, what do you do here with all of those letters that arrive from the girls and boys all over the world? well, 1st of all, this very, very many letters that arrive every year. there's always are over half a 1000000 letters with santa get and her 1st we thought him out by the country. and so that's what i'm doing here right now. santa has received a letter sir, around $200.00 countries so far. so what happens to those letters that are addressed to the north pole? please tell me they come here. they come here, let me see if i do have here some. ah example, for example over here. so this is the place way they all end up anyway, so they come to the right may even though you put the wrong address in it. well that's good to know that everybody watching make sure that their letters always arrive with santa claus. well, it's good to know that santa is receiving his mail here in lapland, but this wasn't always his address. most theologians will agree that saint nicholas

was born in nor around the mediterranean coastal town of mira now damira in turkey, in around $288.00 d. however, there's not many images of santa in his home town on christmas cards. well, there is one way to settle this argument good and proper to speak to the man himself. santa claus. hello. thank you very much for joining us here on our t sunset. we've been searching for you around the world. tell us in your own words, where are you from? oh, i am from here. las vegas rocker? yeah, i've been here for screen long time. actually here on the arctic circle i g . o small than way over 30 years in my house. yes. here i have my office now here. i'm here every day of the year. so children all over the world can come and meet me,

but you're able to travel extreme distance isn't all over the world to make sure that you deliver toys to the boys and girls. how does that happen? oh, that is actually quite easy. oh, well, you know my, my ranges, they fly not going to show us and on the tricks, no exclusive here. first of all, remember, the world is the wild evenings of the time zones, okay? so when you travel you all the time the same time, sometimes all the time zone like that's how you do it. well, well the other way, sir. the santa tell you ever thought, oh christmas eve, how tiring? nice. going very slowly while you're waiting on. well, that's my other secret. the world is turning around that day, a little bit slow. thank you very much. santa claus. mary,

ah, now gift. no don't. so teddy bears prepare your children for the brave new world. you remember, diversity is not at all i o is no longer an appropriate cost. you this is appropriation. 0, a logical appropriation. offensive to the dear community. mm hm. and obviously sandra has to be cancelled. i because he is a wisest gender male who amuses mrs. claus discriminates against children based on behavior, whereas red, which is a communist color, makes children sit on his lap, makes people destroy trees and exploit sales. so sorry kids sandler is not coming to town anymore. i follow these instructions.

stick to the spirit of christmas. you decide? oh, lou ah ah ah ah ah ah with

ah, with join me every posted on the alex simon. sure i'll be speaking to get us in the world politics, sport, business, i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm. ah ah, welcome back. now washing energy join cows. prom has denied accusations from countries including the ukraine. that is deliberate and pushing up natural gas prices in europe by restricting supplies. the company says it's westbound export

are too far higher than last jim r t z. course donald has the story gas from has once again reiterated the statement . it has been making for quite a while that essentially any. well, any accusations that gas pro may have somehow contributed to the energy crisis in europe, completely unfounded. these are their words. and in fact, they have once again stressed that the real, the actual output of gas from russia into europe via gas problems will infrastructure, has, in fact succeeded, has, in fact, exceeded, i should say, unsurpassed the contractual obligations in front of the company. have a listen. 7, you know what this, that i see just for all my all accusations against russia and death from that our gas applies to europe are low, are absolutely groundless. and unacceptable. this year gas prom supplied 50000000000 cubic meters of gas to germany under a contract. that's 5000000000 more than last year. your gas problem has also supplied more gas this year to italy, turkey o guerria, hungary and serbia,

denmark, finland, and paula. all the problems in western european countries are created by themselves and there is no need to blame gas. it is better to look in the mirror would. so once again, guess from his saying that it simply can't offer more natural gas on the sport for the european market. simply because it 1st has to provide enough gas for the domestic market for the russian households and will factories saying that in fact, it is doing everything and its powers to actually help europe. even though some experts still remain unconvinced. sassy marks, 30 years since the symbolic and all the u. s. a saw the criminal so get flagged was lowered and replaced the trickle off the russian federation and president nichol. gorbachev announced his resignation. the soviet union, united by communist ideology, existed for 70 years, but towards the end relations between the republic had become fracture and then liberalizing policy perestroika did little to stabilize the situation. the union

was paced by 15 independent states among them, russia, and as the new borders sprang up, while around 25000000 ethnic russians found themselves cut off from the homeland. many were unable to get naturalized in the other republics. and moving to russia at that time was an easy either. now, one of those people is mean a chicken. now 65 living in context on she was born in soviet and when you grew up in russia. but nina moved with her aunt and son to catholics on just months before the soviet union collapsed. she was f stainless for almost 3 decades, only getting a cause a passport a few months ago. but nina says it's too little too late. is this, you mija? stella said no, i lost my whole family. my parents died young and then i lost 2 of my brothers in 1991. i went to live with my aunt and kara gander. i stayed there because i didn't know that the ussr would collapse. if i had known that the ussr were disintegrated,

i would never have left russia. it would be, i worked in a local store for more than 7 years. if i was paid a meager salary. but i agreed because i had to feed my son. eventually i lost touch with all of my relatives. i went to a human rights organization for help with getting cassock, citizenship in the year, 2000. i put all the documents together and sent them off, but they just disappeared. i was angry about that, but i gave up and did not try again. what i was always told you were not born here . you're born in lithuania. is that my fault where i was born and that i came from russia recently? i received lots of help. but who returned my pension for all these years? i wasn't on the waiting list to get a flat. hospitals refused to help me. i was deprived of all right. of course i have no stouter for the soviet times, but then i knew i was needed if you could get a job, you could cross borders. and of course,

every person holds on to their past memories. i hold on to those years, but the later part of my life was very hard. i just had to think about how to survive, how to raise my son. but i am a romantic. i was not afraid of work. i like nature mountains. if i wanted to see everything with my own eyes, they with the breakup of the walls, largest country is still a device of subject even a generation later. so we decided to head to the streets of moscow to ask people for the prospective. the downside is that the last territory we could not restrain the urge of certain nations to gain independence. it was inevitable. it was going to happen anyway. but little soon period when an empire is collapsing, it's always bad because something big and united fragments into a lot of smaller pieces and always ends up in war because everyone starts to have their own ambitions. so there's a lot of war and anger as well lived together. we could travel to all our republics

now at silver. you cannot go so easily with lou on a financial level in terms of our basics. wife has improved as for everything else on an ideal logical level, things are not as good. the youth of today are lacking in ideas. there is no shirt chance of purpose within the country. accordingly, also got the collective opinion from grandparents and parents, is that it was better with the usaa education was better. perhaps everyone's mood was good, but i think there is more freedom now there's little trouble that was just put it on us. it has definitely become better now. we are not as isolated as we were before. so there is more opportunity for a self fulfillment inside the country. so was, was, when you a 1000 for me to solve that was rejoicing and the hugh ass, of course, at the demise of its main rifle. though the mood was very different and socialist countries like china, ali, i spoke with our gas about those wild changing events. the, the collapse of the soviet union is don't political leadership. and that is gonna

make just is the main person who bears responsibility. one of the reasons why he was so successful was he attended economic, economic and political reform at the same time. and the other thing was that he had an enemy bodies, johnson, and they fell out. they hated one another. now, how gilson and gilbert worked together? so we didn't have probably been with us today, that's all we had to reform, that those reforms are absolutely necessary. the gorbachev is working on 2 funds, one to reform the soviet union inside and also to reform its relations with the capitalist world. and he tried his efforts there failed because of the inability of the united states and in russia. soviet union then russia to, to come to terms we'll think, to see in the post circuit space a number of conflicts. whether that's going to come back with, from touch cheapest on to for example, kick us on this back. histone to do you think that we would have seen those kinds

of disputes. if the u. s. a saw had remained a whole the biggest loss i think of all in terms of relations human relations. ready was the breakdown of been rather narrowed as tell you waited the feeling of community community odyssey that existed within the soviet union, that local level that is lost. and i think everybody knows that results is the disintegration at the beginning of the end of the soviet union. there was a real hope for a confederate world confederation. and that failed immediately after that initial period after gorbachev reforms failed and the options to try to engage with the united states and europe into that field as well. he gave the world a vision of a fair society, a just society,

and on paper it was the fairest and the best society you can imagine. but it was a you tube, it proved to be a utopia. it's not just a matter of what was done for, for people in the countries of the soviet unit itself. it was also the way in which the soviet union was able to interact with the rest of the world. and overall, it's present was i would say very positive. and since then, the lack of having the soviet union has made the world a much more dangerous place and a place much more dominated by big capital in a way that has been disastrous for the climate. and disastrous for a majority of the world's population, or sometimes a politician for the fall of the ussr,

inevitable several years before it actually happened. one of them was a lot to that. now in the mid 19 eighties, she was a member of the supreme say, then what the u. s. r. together as a storm says she was also an outspoken critic of the heart of the child thing. his actions as the cause of the unions collapse. now in her late sixty's and last night is still active in political life. solving is child russians and unity party. our teens, dont quarter, went to meet her, and the doff by sponsors back then in the huge soviet union or any person created work to leave and believed that tomorrow would be better. and in fact, it was to day, we see what a beautiful planet we had. we looked abroad and it seemed that all the democracy, all the beauty was there. we wanted to be like them. although the culture, beauty and morality, which was in the soviet union wasn't in any other country, i don't want to offend anyone. but this is

a fact. the great soviet union was the 2nd world power in most respects. although in some it was ahead of the united states, this country did not need to be rebuilt. it needed to be improved and moved forward . we strongly opposed gorbachev on his policy of perestroika. how to go, which often ruined the country where you've got, what you of gorbachev came to destroy the country. i was sure of that when people asked him the question, what is perestroika? he himself could not explain it. and so a man came and destroyed the country from the inside from the top of your throng, very much known. the gum in the market economy was one of the main aspects of perestroika. you think it was a mistake to replace the planned economy with the markets one yet those muslims cause i have to tell you, it wasn't the market economy. of course, capitalism is basically terrible system. capitalism assumes only a bunch of people can own the wealth of the country. the world is and the market economy. if it had been introduced as the ussr planned,

it would have been wonderful. it would be a welfare state. whether we like it or not, the whole world will come to this because capitalism has outlived its usefulness. capitalism, as lennon said ill always pregnant with was, was attacks provocation, seizures, all the time, you have to fight. what for you, what are we fighting for? was nobody has the answers though. where did they want to leave the world? today? the arms raised has started again. every one demonstrate who created the big rocket . the plane is that the points us, on the contrary, we must stop. we're not talking about justice security, the environmental we're talking about who will seize demanded for everything has a beginning and an end. but we are already approaching a point of no return. of course it's terrifying. if today they start rattling their weapons. and so want to shout, stop, what do you want and say no guys,

let's be friends. the whole point is only in friendship and peaceful, political, little needing lots there from us. here in moscow, we're going to head on over to washington, dc and end of year special of redacted. tonight's top moments from past 12 months. so cit ground and we hope season ah ah ah, welcome to redacted denied i'm lay camp o e hes gabbard. it's been an insane year in which i've actually used up my fcc allowable allotment of curse words. so now i can't fall on key not and use any bad

words in this. god bless it, ap result. foreign didn't share and lance, your razzle dazzle. but considering that here we van, it's about time we looked back the best of redacted a night. 2021. we covered every aspect on the show of the corruption, the greed, the show, c r p, and the inhumane destruction of our world by a tiny group of dead taishan experts oligarchy was souls that looked like rotting corpse, fecal matter. total con, trig, hating morally bankrupt ass. oh merry christmas. you get the point that's on back at the very best redact or the night before i have a seizure enjoy in 2019 the worker rights consortium. put out an extensive report on the forrest labor in john. so where did they get

all that information? where did they get it? i'm glad you asked the grade or looked into it and the info came from these sources . ok. first, you have radio free a u. s. government sponsor new service that even the new york times ones called quote, a worldwide propaganda network built by the ca, unquote. so we can forget that meaningless source. next, the u. s. government, if you trust their claims, then you should probably just give up on life because the, the part of your brain, the questions, anything is dead and shrivelled. so we're done with that source. now, the australian strategic policy institute over again. now i believe, you know, go back to playing boomerang or cooking, kind of root on the barbara or some next up, adrian then, now i've covered adrian dan's before. he's a lovely, very nice evangelical christian from germany who believes believes that he's at war

with china and that all.
