a issue with getting, you know, i need to put that amount with ah, a, a 4 year old child is accidentally grayed out and i'm to back the march in germany . countries across europe roll out false new anti cove with civilian death and destruction and african wistful blow and lift the lead on america's drone program. the full price, currently in, by eating from about folk to ortiz unhappy with operations,

we were not to talk about any civilian deaths. nobody told us that we had hit the wrong target. i'm in hiding alone with underground i live in fear speaking. honestly, i am fed up with my life with russia's foreign minister accuses nato, trying to grab eastern european territories on the bunk plains from the alliance of russian aggression in new cray. also ahead, leaving 1000 engineers left dismay, does the government decides to shut down all and you can react this with 3 years, even though it's home. it palms generate waste off the country. static tricity with, from everyone here at ortiz, h q and must go back to joining us. good to have you with us. well, starting off of this, our france and germany a tightening the scraps on the screws or all the on the unvaccinated,

with the raft of new antique cove. it measures smoking anguish street protests. it's a picture playing out all across europe by goblins are struggling with record infection rates. point to slip explains, can what we've seen across europe is a surge of covert cases. if we start off in font, the country has hit a record high 100000 new covert cases a day, and the death toll there has now increased to well over a 122000 people. this is largely due to the omi con variant that was supposed to tested in south africa. but what we are witnessing is also a search in delta cases. and that is leading to quite a number of people having to be hospitalized. the government is looking to transform its coded health passed into a vaccine pass. now we have heard from the french help, the french prime minister, who announced that a negative taste is no longer going to be enough for people to be able to enter

bars, restaurants, and other cultural venues taken listen, don't don't. so she'll said jewels in france as in europe, the situation is extremely town. a new wave is sweeping over our confidence. we've reached the symbolic 100000 daily new infections. we are drafting a law that will transform the health path into vaccination pass if parliament votes in favor it will be applied from 15 january as well the u. k. it has now reported an additional $44917.00 new cove cases and $45.00 new depths. we had heard from bobby johnson who says that while the u. k. is to quote, concerned about the increase in co cases. the country at this stage is not looking at implementing any kind of new restrictions or new lockdown if we move across now to where i am in germany here, the government is considering tougher restrictions. and in fact, from monday, a number of german states have introduced tighter restrictions. these include,

amongst others limiting private gatherings, up to 10 people, and that is 10 people who have either been vaccinated or who have recovered from at 19. the government has also shut down club, don venues and other such public gatherings. not this comes amid a space of demonstration against the covert restrictions happening in several cities and towns across the country. several 100 people were wasted at protest that took place in carrying berlin and author enshrined foot. and in the latter venue police, they clashed with potatoes, and it became quite winded with police wielding batons and fire and pepper spray into the crowd, while petitioners whose rocks and stones, and sat on the police were about to show you rather disturbing images in which a 4 year old child was accidentally pipper sprayed by police after her mother took

her to the demonstration. the the now the mother they had to appear before a judge and this comes as the police complain that and to vexes are increasing the, using more violent means at demonstrations. if we move now to the netherlands, they, we have the health ministry suggesting a raw that innovative way for people who are nervous about taking the vaccine to deal with the vaccine anxiety. the health minister has suggested virtual reality glosses that will help relax during the injection ass. counted drone operators working for the u. s. was kept in the dark about civilian death knots according to a whistleblower who spoke 20 about his job. during the one terror, he shut his story with our teens project on hud voices. lalellah, we live in

a horrible situation. very bad conditions with you when i honestly, i am fed up with my life that's not about so. i'm in hiding alone with the way underground. yeah, i can't go outside. i'm hopeless for somebody. i ask myself, do i have the right to live a peaceful life in my own homeland or not it me said straight, and i wish i had been born in a different country. to me that the decimal guardian telling me that would be one. 0, a pillow top, we had to operate our drones. i was an 8 alice today. and then the same at night there was a u. s. company and the afghan government was signed an agreement with them. he said we were employed by this company. they scam eagle with

each month one pilots conducted $1720.00 drone strikes. it could be more than that, but not less with data throughout all operations, we were not told about any civilian deaths. nobody told us that we had hit the wrong target to that, and the statistics on this were out of our control. we didn't have access to this data.

ah, ah, ah, he said i'm in at the pool. we lost a couple of our pilots in the last days of our work in fin after the taliban. so cova and one was arrested and cobbled. and the 2nd when he was visiting his family . some drone pilots were also beaten and humiliated, and 3 or 4 of our colleagues are missing, where they even the closest relatives don't know where they are. sex age stay, blanket is leading. the continued diplomatic efforts to ensure safe passage for any american afghan pardoner or foreign national wants to leave afghanistan. what we are doing every single minute of every single hour of every single day is working to create safe passage for all civilians, including the afghans who work for us to the airport to get them on planes and get them out. we worked intensely to evacuate and relocate afghans who worked alongside

us in our particular risk. reprisals are committed to them. has no deadline. oh, let me put it this way. yes, i've lost my own people. no, i'm hiding at different places. i can't stay in one place, i can't meet my family, but i don't even know how my family is doing now. i can't see them with my colleagues. we can't see or contact each other because we are afraid the taliban now tapping our phones. yulu and i will we all hopeless. we have lost our way. what can we do? and what will they do to us? we'll counting our last breaths how they might kill us today or tomorrow. i'm a, i have one son staying with me and when he goes out to buy something to eat, he says he is afraid of being killed like yet. so there is no want to help us in this situation. i live in and i have to wonder why was born in this hell. i am

a human being. i have the right to free life. the u. s. lead mission enough talestine has now handed over responsibility saying the afghan army can operate without outside assistance. if you do want to hear more about how the war on terror in afghanistan changed lives, you can always handle nova 12 projects on all t dot com is called on hud rushes. top tip not had said the entire purpose of nato is to seize territories to its east. sokolov was speaking ahead of possible talks with the western alliance. now this is just, she's the gilbert teach right now. nato is clearly a geo political project designed to grab territories left after the disappearance of the war, so packed and the dissolution of the soviet union. first of all, let's remind ourselves what be worth or packed was. it was

a collective defense treaty established by the soviet union and 7 other satellites . it states, it was created in reaction to the integration of west germany into nature in 1955. so basically the both are packed was like a mirror alliance to nato. but while the pack was dissolved in 1991 nato is still very much alive and kicking and expanding since the end of the cold war. so the just a lot of the saying is, what is the point of nathan anymore? you know, he's post cold war gave, if not, as he suggests a geopolitical project same to collecting all of these countries with a lifetime ago. we're in opposition to nathan. now, nathan has previously offered membership to a former members of the both pucks, which is poland which joined in 1999 to former soviet republics, such as the both 6 states in 2004. so the question of ukraine joining nato is a 10 subject because he crane is of course, the country. it's history, geography, and people are so intertwined with those of russia. now as we know,

tensions between nato and russia been simmering for quite a while early this month. the head of nato young stoughton, but he rushed to be transparent about its military plans. but this comes in a face that rushes planning to invade ukraine. moscow has dismissed face face. they call them alarmist and in turn complained of nato plans and activities in the region. so needless to say, there's a lack of trust between the 2 sides remain. there's nothing new. obviously, plenty of accusations flying around here. but as i understand russia is proposing a solution, can you tell us about that? absolutely. so rather than letting things continue to fester and possibly worse and moscow has presented the west with this draw agreement of security guarantees, essentially aimed at, you know, diffusing tensions here. but it's been translated in the west as demands rather than proposals and be the tensor calming the situation of just being more or less shuns so far. and russia continues to be demonized as the aggressor. our

cooperation with ukraine is defensive. it's not in the way it's set to russia, the aggressor, hey, it's russia. this is days ago. russia even pulled back its troops from the ukraine border following drills there, which could have been seen as another olive branch from russia to see western leaders, but still bugs from data coating russia. the aggressive do you need? it's been saying for weeks now, the 100000 russian soldiers were lighting the border to invade ukraine. even the u . s. media was saying, a 175000. turns out it was 10000 soldiers doing drills near the border. do you think now we can actually expect any of these accusations to stop? well, one would hope it, but little me just a positive direction as yet fear mongering. the me, the media, is it a all time high this and full scale invasion talks? folks have another cuban missile crisis that continues to be a favorite topic. and we're still cause for sanctions on russia though that was we're not sure because where she doesn't seem to have done anything at the moment.

anyway. sanctions on russia. sorry, one on a list from sepa, former us ambassador, and i was even calling for sanctions on russia. pre, i'm seeing any possible moves from russia. current western policy is that if russia does something worse, stan and only then would the west adopt new sanctions. the dynamic must now be reversed. the west should impose new sanctions now and agree to lift those sanctions. only if russia pulls back from military escalation to book was with sugar. and just recently, one thing tanka said, why wait until something happens? let's introduce preventive sanctions, and if russia doesn't start anything will lift them. but it's clear that no one would ever lift anything. so this is how things stand as of now a 10 by russia to com, things so far, being ignored. but this is something the russian side seems to have seen as predictable as lot of suggested in, not quote. nato's agenda is quite different to what one might expect. people in east ukraine spray quail republics are still living under the constant threat of

shutting from cubes armed forces. and despite a sci fi agreements struck between the rebels on the government years ago, with nature forces opening supplying the ukrainian military autism, cos who have traveled to the dawn bus region. ah ah 7 civilians were killed and 32 wounded on the territory of the self proclaimed the next people's republic. this year alone, the total number of foot noncombatants who perished in this civil war is now well over $5000.00. while ordinary people who live along the front lines continue to suffer, many of them say they don't see their future. will the ukraine any more will to me

a month ago, a woman and a man were very badly wounded and another man was killed just before that. what can i say? they are often showing us statement. they say we are not needed. but yet everyone is afraid, but because the shelling is going on throughout the summer they were shelling day and night. so nothing good is happening to not listen to runaway wooldridge in september, a shell fell on my street. 2 little children living near by that place here. did you lose our dcea? be id chesko, there are los periodically escape then shelling returns. look we are tired and looked at little one residence in larger cities like the republics capital of the nascar. farther away from the war, both physically and mentally, they are all sold sired, however many speak about the constant feeling of uncertainty and express hope that the conflict will soon end so that they can be free to choose their own fate. was the push to watch because the new year i wish for strength and patience because we live in an unstable situation. so it's generally very unpleasant. i'm tired of

having a curfew when done teach us was in the study are now used to living in this chaos. but i really want all the bad things to antonius mesa, we're afraid something can happen to the children. and so in general, it's just a relief to be alive, missouri, after years of living on the brink, people just want this ward through and, and return to the living, normal violence, free life, romantic author of archie, don't ask. stella had on our tea. is there a link between camphor and phosphate mining? while we look into the story of a small town of florida and a brand new u. s. documentary after a short break we'll be talking about ah,

our special yes. today. the only in the legendary mich virus, 9 or a planet ponzi match. nice to see the holidays. ah, well oh oh oh, oh, a ah with ah

say welcome back. paradoxical and counter productive. that's how belgian engine is. describe a government decision to d. nick could arise the country over the next 3 years. the reaction came off to brussels, announced its plan to shut down, or nuclear reactors and redirect investment into new technologies. the government's decision to face out nuclear energy, the largest source of flow, carbon energy, in belgium, and to finance new fossil gas power plants is paradoxical and counterproductive. these decision would only reinforce the predominance of fossil fuels in the belgian energy landscape. currently there are 2 nuclear ponds in belgium, with 7 reactors now they generate in west half of the countries electricity,

the authority say that avoiding nucular energy will make power production safer and is in line with the common you goal to go green. however, it all comes as europe grapples with an energy crisis that's seen up prices saw to record highs are going to come up in just a 2nd in neighboring france and germany, which are known for that nuclear power capabilities. the cost to all the tomic energy has skyrocketed off to paris, closed $1.00 of its plants and haunted operations out another over suspected security system faults. as for germany, well, it intends to close all it's nuclear power plants by the end of next year, starting with it's broken off site on new year's eve, the closure will leave the country with 3 nuclear power stations. jones have responded to the news with mixed reactions. i sat on a fun enough, tyler, it has its pros and cons, but actually here, and bergdorf we only saw advantages other countries are building nuclear power plants to and the question is, where do we get our electricity from?

i'm and it is and the others. finally, it's happening and i'm very happy about it because you never know if an accident might occur off, but people might try to destroy it. of course, are people in the village that see things differently because the village has become rich on taxpayer money. if you drive through the village, you'll see how much was invested in it or, oh, i loop and i think it's an important decision. but i also think we're not there yet . we can't get from renewable energy. we're, we're getting from nuclear power. many locals work sir, and we have to see where they will end up, but some people will definitely lose their jobs. we discussed issue with charlie, boil independent journalist as well as urena, cleared the chairman other gentlemen in cal activist organization. solar and wind are not available 100 percent of the time while nuclear is so you have to fill the gaps with fossil generation. and this is a tremendous harm for the climate because belgium replace

is a low carbon energy form by a common intensive form of electricity. and this is just the opposite of climate protection, but belgium is doing year. it is, it is of no use for the climate it's, it's not climate protection it's, it's arming the climate. and it's for a purely easier, logical read reason of the green party. once again it's, it's all about lack of planning and seeing cool point, scoring based politicians may well those beliefs. but as usual, the practicalities always take. now the reality is sinking in high inflation. a huge demand surge going in the winter. and we, we simply can't have a situation where energy prices are going up. 1200 percent here. we need to have

a profit plan on around the world, but how they get the transmission is renewable. it's what the mixture is going to be in need to be honest about me, which are completely pilots in florida flooring cancer rates on pollution. how being blamed on phosphate mining, but his locals fight for the health of mine in giant, accused of polluting waterways plans to open and not the site i'll talk bulletin. the south will be airing a documentary about the situation, but for now is a quick preview. one of the most toxic places in america, florida, one of florida's biggest industries and best kept secrets, is phosphoric wine in the biggest layer is $85000000000.00 industry. is mosaic, and either reports of millions of gallons of contaminated water now flowing into the florida aquifer. my problem is that chronic. i don't want to hear

that word polos thing, but that's what it is. i'm in 2013 my uncle, our family dog. my brother was 21 years old, myself and my father were all a hole . and they could play. right. yeah. yeah. maybe they'll actually far hill is more important than the company responded to accusations made and not talk to meant you by saying it doesn't actually portray the cancer risks associated with mining while you this year. a 1000000 gallons of waste water, one full my, my new facility leaked in florida. the sate is building an injection well to pump out the remaining water that something environmental to say could make things was filmmaker eric crown, who made the document you to for snippet of explains his motivations. as i was

traveling around the world doing a lot of direct action conservation work, i started to see that right in my own back yard. we had these issues where we were questioning children in a way that regularly is actually regulated and allowed for cam. so, you know, as soon as i saw that i thought this is something we can stop and if he's environmental cancers, if we're able to stop them, it's our obligation to investigate and stop them for continuing. one interesting thing is they're allowed to do their own testings, so they simply do their own test and then provide the results to the state. so there is no oversight, you active on this entire industry statewide. and that is where we're finding the difficulties. you know, i was able to come up with it by going through the public records of the different counties that have mining and mining areas and they're all their leading cause of death was cancer and their rates were extremely higher. i spoke to

a lot of people that had been silenced by them by mosaic directly. as a matter of fact, one person that spoke i've recently had a gag order placed on them where they could not speak publicly about most it, which i just thought was crazy. actually, the gag order said you're not allowed to speak about it on facebook and for somebody to lose the 1st amendment, right, like that. that shows a lot of influence in the area. you know, we find that mosaic goes through and they kind of gain the favor of a lot of people by putting a lot of money into the local communities. but at the same time they're, they're presenting this nice picture while they're also getting everybody sick at the same time. you know, and it was, it was maddening for me because we did find cancer causing chemicals, and it was proven in the movie. we even found one of their outfalls had, there's a level that they're not supposed to go over and we found that level and we tested the water of radiation. so we're finding that there is, there's just, again, there's no oversight into this type of an industry. and they kind of run rough shot

over everybody in the local areas. you can watch the full talk commentary late to say on our channel, as well as to more throughout the day before. now. so, morrison's my beloved by the colossal scale of government spending during the pandemic and sen round pool has highlighted some of the bizarre ways that taxpayers dollars are being used. just one example, half a $1000000.00 on research into pigeons. but these are very special pigeons because these are pigeons with a gambling addiction. just plain slot machines, think that's a bad acid trip. nope, it's a project founded by the american taxpayers. and it's one of many in the chance, a wasteful us initiative. the research allows pigeons to expand the safe or gamble tokens could prove very useful if only pigeon gambling was

a real issue. do kids prefer trips to broccoli? always going to double check? another state funded research prove that bug is a more appealing faith john to make them gain weight. this is an experiment with taxpayers. money well spent. how does bad knees affect your mood? take the scientists to figure that out. us funded study, find that bob use causes carpenters to jump down. it's not a waste of time. if you've learned something a lot like they were gonna say it is a rob. next up, the documentary we were just talking about phosphate, you know, i spoke to the direct yesterday. i really think it's watha sticking around with a, became a test bed for medical and then later recreational marijuana and it started with

something so innocent. i was wanting to socialize, everybody does it so i cannot, and then it just keeps going and going and going. i'm just going to do it once. yeah. and then it's, oh, i'm just going to try this was never do it again because they want my phone was right on inside. okay. and you surround yourself with people who are encouraging you to do it not to stop it. boeing, my life was over jump offices, all balcony and died. mm. he just couldn't stop. also happening tonight. the fight continues in manatee county. jose, a company now wants to expand their mining operations, but many of their neighbors tell abc, actually news reporter adam weiner. they fear another environmental mess and not

only just my organic harm, it's our natural resources. it's our very precious land and water dang was among the doesn't to spoke out against mosaic at the 2nd full day of hearings held by manatee county commissioners. deciding whether to change the zoning of the property, called wingate east to allow mosaic to mine phosphate one drive through west central. ready rural florida, and it is clear that mosaic is turning our region into a banana republic. mm. anything that's coming from there, from mazda beach into here, and come through all these properties right here. garrett's and organic farmer. and he just lost his you sta, organic status, because mosaic was able to rezone 16000 acres in their own mine, and that actually borders these wetlands that we're looking at. and the wetlands border garrett's farm. the u. s. government says that any a radiation exposure is dangerous.
