ah, a 4 year old child is definitely purpose bright at an id vaccine watch in germany. countries across europe roll out a new anti code with measures civilian deaths and destruction. and i've gotten was the lowest that america is drone program, a full mobile writer currently and hiding on the kind of and spoke to lot. he's on heard voices project throughout operations. we were not told about any civilian deaths, nobody told us that we had hit the wrong target, so i'm in hiding alone for the way underground i live in fear speaking, honestly, i am fed up with my life. the russian foreign minister accuses nato of trying to

grab it, eastern european territories, and debunked claims from the alliance of russian aggression in ukraine. leading belgian engineers left dismayed. does the government decide to shut down what nuclear reactors within 3 years? even though atomic power generate almost half the country with, from oscar, thanks for joining us, this out and all the international. and daniel hawkins, wherever you are, right, welcome to the program. now france and germany are tightening the screws only unvaccinated, introducing a raft of new anti cope with measures. that's fox angry street protests. it's a picture playing out across europe where governments struggling with record infection rates fall asleep 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 the omi con, very, and it was supposed to take that 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 health, 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. 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 continents. 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, from monday, a number of german states have introduced ties her 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 coven 19. the government has also shut down clubs, dance venues, and other such public gatherings. not this comes amid a state of demonstration against the covert restrictions happening in civil cities and towns across the country. several 100 people were wasted at protests that took place in here in berlin, an author in swine foot. and in the latter venue police, they clashed with protesters, became quite violent with police wielding batons 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 a foy little child was accidentally. pip sprayed 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 and to vexes are increasingly 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

done drone upright as working for the us were kept in the dark about civil in death . that's according to a whistleblower who spoke to him about his job during the war on terror. he shared his story without, he's on heard voices, project, lalellah. we live in a horrible situation. very bad conditions and it won't 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 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 at the decimal. got the telling me that would be like a pillow top, we had to operate our drones as an 8 hours today. and then the same at night there was a u. s. company and the afghan government was signed an agreement with he said we

were employed by this company. they scam eagle with each month one pilots conducted $1720.00 drone strikes drug. it could be more than that, but not leslie. with throughout our 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, coming to the port, we lost a couple of our pilots in the last days of our work. and 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 they blinking is leading to continue diplomatic efforts to ensure a safe passage for any american afghan partner or foreign national. who wants to lead up against what we're doing every single minute of every single hour of every

single day. it's 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 and work alongside us and our particular risk of reprising. our commitment to them has no deadline of let me put it this way and yet i've lost my own people. know i'm hiding at different places. i can't stay at 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 phone. is me? i guess we have lost our way. what can we do and what will they do to us? we are counting our last breast because 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. so 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 lead mission and i've got to start has now 100 responsibility some yeah, konami can now operate. it's without outside assistance. if you want to hear more about how the war on sarah and i've got to on changed line, head on over to a, on her voice is present on all the rushes top, different amount. so the entire purpose of nato is to see, so it relates to his 8th figure an hour off, a speaking head of possible negotiations with the western alliance. not the fishes cheese, the gilbert teach 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 collected defense treaty established by the soviet union and 7 other satellites soviet states. it was created in reaction to the integration of west germany, into nato, a $955.00. so basically, the both are packed with 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 pose cold war gave, if not, as he suggests a geopolitical project saying that collecting all of these countries for the lifetime ago, we're in opposition to nathan. now, nathan has previously offered memberships to former members of the both pucks, which is poland, which joined in 1999 to former soviet republics, that just the both 6 states in 2004. so the question of ukraine joining nato is for

a 10 subject because ukraine is, of course, the country. but 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 rushes to be transparent about its military plans. the. this comes a made phase that rushes planning see invade ukraine. moscow have dismissed face face, they call them alarmist and in turn complained of nato plans and activities in the region. so needless to say, this lack of trust between the 2 sides remains is 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 agreements 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 these attempts to 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 yet. and stuff like that from data calling russia, the aggressive media. it's been saying for weeks now, the 100000 russian soldiers were lighting the board 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 to a positive direction as yet fear mongering. the me, the media, is it a all time high? this and full scale invasion talks, talks of another cuban missile crisis continues to be

a favorite topic. and there was still cause for sanctions on russia though that was we're not sure because it actually doesn't seem to have done anything at the moment . anyway, sanctions on russia. sorry. one on a list from sepa for us on both of this. 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 than and only then with the west adopt new sanctions, the dynamic must now be reversed to west shoot. impose new sanctions now and agree to lift those sanctions only if russia pulls back from military escalation. i took book 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 come, things are so far being ignored, but this is something the russian side seems to have seen as predictable as live up

suggested in that quote. and a post agenda is quite different to what one might expect people in these 2 crimes breaker, the republics are still living under the constant threat of shutting from caves, armed forces to spot a ceasefire. agreement struck between the rebels and the governments. years ago, with naval forces only supplying the military officers on cars from the 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 ukraine any more? what the me 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 need ala the but yet everyone is afraid of god because the shelling is going on throughout the summer. they were shelling day and night. so nothing good is happening to most listen to runaway water. in september, a shell fell on my street, 2 little children living near by that place one here did you lose our dcea b i. d. chesko. there are los periodically escape 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 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. with

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 coffee. 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. mozilla. after years of living on the brink, people just want this war to ends and returns to living and normal violence. free life. room on costs are of artsy, done ask, paradoxical and counterproductive. that's how well as an engineer describe the government decision to de nuclear arise, the country. with the next 3 years reaction came off to russell's, announce his 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 reactance. they generate almost half the countries that tricity authority say, avoiding nuclear energy will make power. production safer is in line with a common you go to go green. however, it all comes, if you are gravels with an energy crisis that's seen prices saw to record high neighboring france and germany known for that nuclear power capabilities. the cost of atomic energy has spiked off the parents closed $1.00 of its france and hold for the operations. as another was a spectrum, the security system falls from germany is intended to close the all its nuclear power loss by the end of next year. starting with this blocked off side or new year's eve, closer will leave the country with 3 nuclear power station. germans have responded

to the news with mixed reactions on a forefront enough time. it has its pros and cons, but actually here in brook there for only so advantages other countries are building nuclear power plants to 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 try to destroy it. of course, the people in the village to 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 as well. and i think it's an important decision by 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. won't i think? we discussed the issue with shawnee boil independent journalists and ran a closure. the shame, one of the german nuclear actors, 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 replaces a low carbon energy form by a common intensive form of electricity. and this is just the opposite of climate protection. what 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 like a plan and seen a missed call point score and politicians may well those beliefs. but as usual, the practicalities always take and 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 around the world, the country by country as to how they can transition to renewables. what the mixture is going to be, and we're going to need to be honest about me, which are completely pilots in florida. soaring cancer rates and pollution of being blamed on a false site lining what his locals find for the health, the mining john to use of polluting waterways plans to open another site or not. he will be adding a document into about the situation for now. there is a quick preview, one of the most toxic places in america, ah, florida, one of florida is biggest industries and best kept secrets, is phosphate in the biggest player. it is an $85000000000.00 industry. is mosaic,

and i, there are reports of millions of gallons of contaminated water now flowing into the florida aquifer name pro. there's a chronic i don't want to hear that word poets, 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 diane, rob, kidney problems with a good play. right? yeah, yeah. maybe they'll actually, we're, that far hill is more important than the company responded to accusations white in that documentary by saying it doesn't accurately portray the cancer risks associated with my loaded this year, a 1000000 gallons of waste water from one former mining facility leaks in florida.

the states building an injection well to pump out the remaining booter. there something environmental site could make. things was filmmaker eric crown. he made the documentary just sore piece 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 backyard, we had these issues where we were questioning children in a way that is actually regulated and allowed. 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 tests and then provide the results to the state. so there is no oversight, you act 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 music directly. as a matter of fact, one person that spoke i recently had a gag order placed on them where they cannot speak publicly about mosaic, 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 run roughshod over everybody in the local areas. you can wants to feel looking at it related to day and throughout the day on our teams national when all or some other stories for around the world. and what surely is one of the most bizarre and cultural tradition is now what i'm christmas day. the roof hosting fan are called box and festival a 2nd place and in foothills and involving a predominantly indigenous trout participants. fine to resolve conflicts, i would territory love money, find a thought to be an age old way of avoiding the vote. once over. official insult and disputes the energy crisis in europe has asked in the course on capital demonstrate this is the st. christina on in the removal of energy restrictions which led to,

to our rolling blackouts across the country. but also in the morning that the country's economy going down according to local report systems of energy prices, school things applies to make cut back. c was about good manager, there are consumers to use and it tricity span of district of humans. capital has been devastated by a wave of saudi asteroid warplanes panel, the residential area. over the weekend. the locals have left to sift through the rubble of the form out home. so far is unclear how many people have been killed or injured? read says it was targeting a who rebel camp off the projects all allegedly fired from yemen, killed 2 people in the south of saudi arabia. has over. there was a bombing here, houses were damaged, all women were terrified, and some of the children fainted. one knows you are not near the buell turner, we were at home and 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,

driven by dreamers shaped banks concur some of those with dares sinks. we dare to ask oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed? what will make you feel safer? high selection for community. are you getting the right way or are you being

led to somewhere? direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend ah, join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. oh, he came out of the 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, i'm just going to try this one and then never do it again because they want to like one and i'm right on inside. ok. and you surround yourself with people who are

encouraging you to do it not to stop. it felt like my life was over. jump office about balcony, and died. mm. use . the just comes with this is them by so and visit you can't afford to miss. i'm rachel blevins in washington coming up. thousands of life have been cancelled around the world as the busy holiday weekend has impacted by staffing shortages. and while the airline

industry is struggling to recover, holiday shopping has stored to its highest levels in 2 decades. but how is inflation playing a role? well, they've got the energy crisis continues across europe where prices are expected to remain. i will take a look at how the norm seem to pipeline could provide some much needed relief and why officials are saying it is so months away from being approved. then i was 2021 comes to a close and we take a look at the progress crypto current these have made and what regulations we can expect in the coming year. we have a lot to cover, so let's get started. we leave the program with a travel nightmare that is still ongoing for many thousands of flights were cancelled on monday, bringing the total for the holiday weekend to more than $10000.00 flight cancellations around the world. now more than a quarter of those flights involved the u. s. where airlines across the board cancelled hundreds of flights.
