[000:00:00;00] a with a 4 year old child is accidentally pappas right at an anti vaccine march in germany, as countries across europe roll out harsh, new anti cope with somebody in death and destruction. and afghan wants to blow a lift the lid on america's drone program. the operating currently in hiding from the tunnel and spoke to ortiz on her voice is project throughout operations we were not told about any civilian deaths. nobody told us that we hit the wrong target. i'm in hiding alone underground. i live in fear speaking. honestly,

i am fed up with my life that foreign minister accuses nato trying to grab ethan. you're with fries and the bunk flame from the alliance of russian aggression. with the leading belgian engineers, i left dismayed as the government decided to shut down a nuclear reactors within 3 years, even though it's 1 o'clock generate almost all the countries electricity ah, law firm of scott, joining us this our international daniel hawkins. wherever you are, welcome to the program. now france and germany are tightening the screws only unvaccinated. introducing a raft of new anti code meshes that sparks angry street protests. it's a picture playing out across europe where governments are struggling with record infection rates for the slayer has more. 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 b omi con, very, and it was supposed to take it 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 covert health path into a vaccine path. 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 into bod, restaurants, and other cultural venues. take a listen, don't don't. so she'll sit in france as in europe, the situation is extreme returns. the new wave is sweeping over our continent. we've reached a symbolic 100000 daily new infections. we are drafting a law that will transform the health path into

a vaccination pass. if parliament votes in favor, it will be applied from the 15th of january. if we move across now to where i am in germany here, the government is considering tougher restrictions. and in fact, some monday, a number of german states have introduce type had 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 cause at 19. the government has also shut down club, dance venue and other such public gatherings. not this comes amid a fate of demonstration against the code with restrictions happening in civil cities and towns across the country. several 100 people were wasted at protests that took place in here in poland and all in one foot. and in the latter venue police, they clashed with protesters and can quite violent with wielding patterns and fire

and pepper spray into the crowd while protest is to rocks and stones. and spec on the police were about to show you all the disturbing images in which for your little child was accidentally picked displayed by police. after her mother took her to the demonstration, the now the mother they had to appear before a judge and this comes as the police complain that anti faxes are increasing me 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

glasses that will help relax during the injection. i've can drone off right, is working for the us. were kept in the dark about civil in death. that's according to a whistleblower who spoke to audrey about his job during the war on terror. he showed a story with and he's on heard voices, project vallejo. we live in a horrible situation. very bad conditions with, you know, be honestly, i am fed up with my life that's out of it. so i'm in hiding alone with the way underground. yeah, i can't go outside. i'm hopeless for something i ask myself, do i have the right to live a peaceful life in my own homeland? will not let me say strange and i wish i had been born in a different country to me at the decimal got the telling me wi i a pillow top we had to operate our drones and was an 8 hours per day. and then the same at night there was

a u. s. company and the afghan government was signed an agreement with he. so we were employed by this company. they scam eagle with each month one, pilots conducted 17. is it 20 drone strikes? it could be more than that, but up less with

throughout our operations we were not told about any civilian deaths. nobody told us that we had hit the wrong targets. and the statistics on this were out of our control. we didn't have access to this data. ah ah ah, at the port we lost a couple of our pilots in the last days of our work. after the taliban took over, one was arrested in cobble 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 was a, even the closest relatives don't know where they are. sex, age stay blinking. is leading the continued diplomatic efforts to ensure a safe passage for any american afghan partner or foreign national wants to lead up

against what we're doing. every single minute of every single hour of every single day is working to create a safe passage for all civilians, including the afghan to work for us to the airport to get them on planes and get them out. we worked intensely to evacuate and relocate atkins, work alongside us, and our particular risk of reprising. our commitment to them has no deadline of let me put it this way. i've lost my own people know i'm hiding at different places. i can't stay in one place. i can't meet my family. 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 are tapping our phones. me in. i guess we have lost our way. what can we do and what will they do to us?

we are counting our last breast. they might kill us today or tomorrow. 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 or kept. there is no one to help us in this situation. i live in fear and i have to wonder why i was born in this hell, i am a human being. i have the right to free life. and the us that mission and i've got install has now never responsibility. so you have going on. i cannot operate it without outside assistance. the know if you want to hear more about how the war on terror, and i'm going to on change the life head over to on heard voices progress on the policy russia. so given that he said the entire purpose of night, we have to seize territory to it's east. sag elaborate was speaking of possible talks with the west life. now this is just, she's the gilbert teacher right now. nato is clearly

a geopolitical 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, a west germany, into nato, a $955.00. 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, with the points of nathan anymore. you know, he's post cold war gave, if not, as he suggests the geopolitical project same to collecting all of these countries that a lifetime ago. we're in opposition to nathan. now, nathan has previously offered membership to form a 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 ukraine is, of course, the country when 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. this comes in a face that rushes planning to invade ukraine. moscow has dismissed these 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 template coming 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, rasa 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 and stuff. and broke their from data coating russia, the aggressive do you need? it's been saying for weeks now. the $100000.00 russian soldiers were lighting the border to invade ukraine. even the u. s. media was saying, a 175000 tons 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, they send full scale invasion talks, folks have another cuban missile crisis that continues to be a favorite topic. and there was still cause for sanctions on russia, though the walls were not sure because russian 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 down and only then would the west adopt new sanctions, the dynamic must now be reversed. the west shoot, 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 think tank, he 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 new question. so i seems to have seen as predictable, a lot of suggested in not quotes. nato's agenda is quite different. so what one might expect? people in easton, ukraine's breakaway republic, fulfilled living under the constant threat of setting from keith's armed forces. this by a sci fi grieving struggle between the rebels the government years ago, with nato forces openly supplying the grainy ministry on he's on cost of travel for the math region. 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 ukraine any more would meet a month ago? a woman and a man were very badly wounded. she 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 most listen to. but on the my oldest in september, a shell fell on my street to little children living near by that place. when did you lose or do you say be id chesko? there are los periodically then shelling returns. look, we are tired and looked at the one residents in larger cities like the republics capital of the nascar, farther away from the war, both physically and mentally, they're all so tired. 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 watch been to the new year. i wish the strand impatience to us because we live in an unstable situation. so it's generally very unpacking. i'm tired of having a curfew and done teach us was in the study are now used to living in this chaos. but i really want all the bad things to international mesa, we're afraid something can happen to the children. and so in general, it's just to relieve to be alive, missouri, after years of living on the rank, people just want this war to ands and returns to living and normal violence, free life. vermont costs are of artsy. don't ask. still to come. i knew you are still command for you trying to the story of one small town in florida, a residence claim. the high council right, is caused by local phosphate mani. we'd element about to offer the short breath.

ah, no one else seemed wrong when all proofs just don't hold any world yet to shape out. disdain becomes the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. oh, driven by drill shaped banks, concur. some of those with

dares sinks, we dare to ask ah ah, oh, come back, the paradoxical and counterproductive, that's how wells and engineers describe the government decision to denique, the rise the country over the next 3 years. reaction came off to brussels him out of this plan to shut down all 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 plants in belgium, with 7 reactors, they generate almost half the country's electricity. your 30 say avoiding nuclear ante will make power reduction safer, and is in line with the common e go goal to go green. however, it all comes in your grapple is with an energy crisis. that same price is flipping the costs of atomic energy, has spiked after paris closed $1.00 of its plants that holds the oppressions with another over suspected security system falls. the last, the german he had intended to close all nuclear power plants by the end of next year, starting with its brooks of thought on new year's eve. closure will leave the country with 3 nuclear power stations. germans have responded to the news with mixed reactions. on a former enough time, it has its pros and cons. but actually here in bergdorf we only saw advantages other countries are building nuclear power plants too. and the question is, where do we get our electricity from entities?

and finally, it's happening and i'm very happy about it because you never know if an accident might occur or thought people might tried to destroy it. of course, people in the village to see things differently because the village has become rich on taxpayers, money. if you drive through the village, you'll see how much was invested in it. and i think it's an important decision, but i also think we're not there yet. we can't get from renewable energy. what we're getting from nuclear power. many locals works, and we have to see where they will end up. but some people will definitely lose their jobs. we discuss the issue with shawny, boil independent journalist, an arena clue to the chairman of a german nuclear actually 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 timing 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 score. and these politicians may well lease, but as usual, the practicalities always take and now the reality is sinking in high inflation. a huge demand search 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 i think it transitions renewable is what the mixture is going to be in need to be honest about me, which are completely pilots in florida. soaring cancer rates and pollution of being blamed on a phosphate mining, but his locals fight with a health mining drawn to cues of polluting waterways plans to open another site later here, naughty will be earning a documentary about the situation for now. his one of the most toxic places in america ah, florida, one of florida's biggest industries and best kept secrets is fostering in the biggest player in 80. $5000000000.00 industry is mosaic. and i, there are reports of millions of gallons of contaminated water now flowing into the florida aquifer may pro, there's a chronic o g i called left here that work towards me,

but that's what it is. i'm in 2013 my uncle, our family dog, my brother, who is 21 years old, myself and my father, we're all dying. rob, with a good player. right? yeah, yeah. maybe they'll actually, we're, that far hill is more important than all the company responded to my conversations made in the commentary by saying it doesn't accurately portray the cancer risk associated with mining or earlier this year, a 1000000 gallons of waste water from one of the former mining facility leaks in florida, the states building an injection well to pump out the remaining water that something environmentalists say could make things worse. filmmaker eric crown, who made the documentary you saw a snippet from, explains his motivation. 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 poisoning children in a way that regularly is actually regulated and allowed. so, you know, as soon as i saw that i thought this is something we can stop and if these environmental cancers, if we're able to stop them, it's our obligation to investigate and stop them from continuing. one interesting thing is they're allowed to do their own testing is fast, so they simply do their own tests and then provide the results to the state. so there is no oversight 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 they're 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 music directly. as a matter of fact, one person who spoke i recently had

a gag order placed on them where they could not speak publicly about music, which i just thought was crazy. actually, the gag order said you're not allowed to speak about music on facebook in for somebody to lose the 1st amendment, right. like that. that shows a lot of influence in the area. you know, we find that most it 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, 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's, there's just, again, there's no oversight into this type of an industry. and they kind of rush shot over

everybody in the local areas where you can watch the full look related survey and throughout the day on channel. well, that's going out a lot of stories for across the globe. and surely is one of those bizarre and colorful traditions to how from christmas day peru, hosting a ban uncle boxing festival taking place in the, and the in the foothills and enrolled and put them on. indigenous kraus, or there's a bunch fight, was all complex. i work for territory, a lot of money to fight for to be an age old way. avoiding me, involvement of officials in solving is also the energy crisis in europe as spot focus in the cultural and capital demonstrated the streets of christina, demanding the removal of energy restrictions which have led to our rolling blockhouse across the country. or over the morning. the country's economy minister steps down according to local report. this comes with energy prices saw forcing supplies the may cut back. both of those good manager hazards consumers to use edit

tricity sparingly. the district of human capital has been devastated while wave of saudi air strike. warplanes puzzled the residential area over the weekend with locals, you left to sift through the rubble of their bomb down homes. it's unclear right now how many people have been killed or injured? read says it with targeting a who you ever camp off to a project. so allegedly fired from you and killed 2 people in the south of saudi arabia, pass over. there was a bombing here. houses were damaged. women were terrified, and some of the children fainted. one, those, you know, i mean, in v b o turner, we were at home in the plane, flew over for the 3rd time bombing, my house. this is the 3rd time that i need to repair damage. what's in, have the yemen. the people committed for this to happen so many a sap is out was it was 9 o'clock in the evening and i was with my children. and suddenly we heard the rustic land next to the house. it's terrifying for the women and children. we live in a state of terror. ob, next started or commentary,

explores the reasons behind increased chance. aright sneer, foresight winds in florida, communities. we're back in half an hour with the very latest to we'll see back then . you're not international i ah i was diagnosed with cancer in 2005. the doctors didn't

really know what kind of cancer it was or how to treat it. they explained i was part of a growing population of people with hybrid cancer's from environmental factors. my tumors were growing aggressively of a dangerous. they'd eventually grow over my organs and kill. i became a full time patient. my life only happened in between surgeries, radiation, and experimental drugs. when the doctors told me the cancer was incurable, i knew i had to make a change, and i decided to give up the comfort of security and instead, travel around the world, investigating environmental pollution in crime and see if i could find other reasons that were leading to these rise and cancer rates and i got to work on some amazing direct action campaigns. the really took me into remote areas . there is pollution everywhere. but aside from the plastics there were also multinational corporations polluting

into local river ways, getting everyone around them sick for profit, and with access to clean water disappearing. every day people were fighting back and at the same time i saw that back home, people were being poisoned by the industries around them. childhood cancer rates were up 6 times the national average. if we can prevent any kids from going through what i've been through, then it's our duty to investigate, find out what's happening and stuff. so i decided to travel to one of the most toxic places in america, florida. mm. mm. oh i always thought of florida is beaches and disney in reality one afford is biggest
