miss fire sign author of the planet ponzi next. nice to see it. happy holidays. with the headlines and the national before your oldest cotton pepper spray as the police break up an unseen vaccine march in germany. meantime, countries across europe are facing on rec ahead of new year restrictions. some parents of the u. k. accusing hospitals off discriminating against children with down syndrome in a bit to free up beds during the cobra crisis. we hear from one mother who was off to sign a do not respond to take the form for her son when she said it, i, well john is that's my son's life that you're asking with each night or no, i mean she has down syndrome, but that's got nothing to de leon leverage shipping. the types are not on the

latest holding, showing that most of us democrats now do not want joe biden to run again in 2024. so for a moment here on the program, we'll be looking back at his 1st urinal. ah oh, just getting to the end of the work day here at our to the national live from oscar, just off to 5 pm. now welcome to your stories. so europe is facing a new wave of very angry street demonstrations and governments. ty, think the screws on the on vaccinated at one protest in germany. a 4 year old child was caught up in the pepper spray as police moved n o . according to the police, the child was completely symptom free again after an i wash offices than lawrence a formal complaint against the either for endangering her child. meanwhile,

ever in france, anger against restrictions showing no signs of dissipation. ah, since monday a number of german states have imposed strict covert restrictions. and these include, amongst others limiting public gatherings to 10 people. and that is people who have either been vaccinated or who have recovered. and at the same time, shutting down balls and nightclubs. it comes as a number of demonstrations take place across the country. hundreds of people were wasted in protest here in the capital city, berlin, and also trying foot. now in the last a 4 year old child received paper spray accidentally from the police after her mother had bought her to the demonstration in

a prime. the mother of the child had to appear before the judge and it comes as police complain that he and his axes are becoming more and more violent in france. they. the country has recorded a record high of a 100000 new cove cases a day. at the same time, the country has registered more than a 122000 people who have died from the virus. now this is largely due to the new omi con variant that was supposed to take it in south africa and which tends to be quite mild. but at the same time, the country is seeing a search in delta cases that has led to a number of people being hospitalized. the government is looking to transform its covert health pass into a vaccine path. we've heard from the countries prime minister, saying that a negative taste is no longer going to be enough for people to enter bars, restaurants, and other cultural venues. lot don't, don't,

said you in france as in europe, the situation is extremely tense. a new wave is sweeping over our continent. we've reached a symbolic 100000 daily new infections. we adjusting a law that will transform the health passed into a vaccination party. if parliament's votes in favor, it will be applied from the 15th of january. moving across now to the netherlands, they, the government has suggested of all that innovative way for people who are afraid of taking the vaccine to deal with so called vaccine anxiety. the health ministry has introduced virtual reality glosses that will help people relax during the injection. meantime in the u. k. daily coven infections are around 100000 mark, reportedly of the countries health care system has been stretched and their affairs at corners are being cut ultimately, potentially putting lives at risk of parents. and campaigners are raising the alarm . they worry that vulnerable children are being discriminated against during cobra to free up bed space. it comes with

a spike and do not receive aid orders for children with down syndrome and autism. and one mother who was asked to sign such a form for her son, shed her story with us when she said it, well, doctrine tears. because in home and that was on life that you're asking was you should fable know. i haven't been asked, that's my other 2 children. i mean, she has down syndrome, but that's got nothing to do with leverage shipping the stuff tight, so not he was in the room and she was asking him a question. he a con and he's final class days. that he understands and thank, luckily for him and i didn't. i also me because he was i'm 16 anyway for the sake of the parents. i know there are 7 children say in one

respects i was glad he was on the 6th day because the others where i was 16 and where else themselves now do not resuscitate. orders are off with the people who are gravely ill. one sign doctors will not perform cpr to help restart the patients hard. so whether you k d analysis that non are increasingly being offered to teenagers with autism. it's a condition that affects 700000 people in the country. they're also being offered to teenagers with down syndrome, the national health service assistant. it's not discriminating. stressing that it regards blanket policies and appropriate. but karen will, it again disagrees where every child in every has got the right, especially to life. and i just don't understand why there's a difference in society for anyone, discrimination, of even the question b, a n n. why are people with adults children and will delay

while we why on trade differently with the lack of humanity, hey, given the health care system i deserve on this, i'm so cast and i did that. i get the and i just, it was been under extreme cab again today with higher than the and i just isn't as the government needs to pull their finger out. and so yeah. and isn't it, isn't our kids to say, oh, your children are not valuable with everyone else's children. so they're not going to be put on that list. list i was are, isn't, it will leave you out of the say, because there's not a lot. we're not so fast and more was for you. k hospitals with admissions on the rise. again, the new study wanted next year medical staff absences to, to burn out could triple. the findings suggest hospitals could experience severe

stop shortages with 17 percent of workers expected a call in sick. in fact, just last week as admissions rose absences followed, suit reaching 12 percent meet all units of cold on the government to increase staff, pay or face industrial action manager says the pandemic has created well, unprecedented pressure. and it's doing all it can to support doctors and knows as well. we spoke to medical stuff on the ground to say something has got to give david is with us almost 2 years now. a doctor, the nurses clinicians on the ground. absolutely exhausted. they're not just exhausted that scared that tired. you must remember the doctor, the new patient. do we sick? we get physically think we get mentally thing and quite frankly, we bad the moral burden of what's been happening over the past couple of years. so yeah. and at the moment, it's exhausting. and what's worse still, of course, it's not over. in the short term, we somehow need to find some capacity outside of what we've already got. so rather

than asking the same deal to do all, we need to somehow find capacity outside of the and, and that might mean that asking people who aren't medically qualified to come in and step in and do some of that stuff in the longer term because we really need to do research, sold recruitment issues. we do need or no nurses, we do need more doctors. we've vast amounts, in particular, the general practice, for example, just a status quo. and there are some, a human may just in general bureaucracy that can get some workforce. you have retired or who have steps down that work to actually come back. now some of these barriers and implement that quite quick and easy, it just requires government to make some decisions. well, it's really quite worry and i'm not sure how the nature is going to survive with the numbers. it is really quite frightening. and also patient because you know, this, you know, of good, proper guidance come in from the really terrible environment and, you know,

trying to get through this pandemic and being taken for granted at the same time if leading to burn out. many nurses are talking about going on, protest and strike caption on. some of the unions already support of that, but it just see it's very difficult obviously because we need to think about patient safety, but soon we may not have any nurses in to lessen the care for these patients. so the risk posed by the new strain is still being studied. the new research from the u. k suggested is 70 percent less likely to put you in hospital ultimately exhibiting symptoms similar to that of a common cold. however, the world health organization says it's more contagious and vaccine resistant than previous strains. when we discuss details with us folks person, it's very contagious. it infects more quickly and it infects more people and, and the growth rate is much faster than previous variance. so it's certainly of

a theater and foster variance. what we don't know yet is the severity of the illness that produces, we've had some early information, but in the countries where they're studying it closely. they haven't seen the hospitals philips of weekly, but we don't know whether that's on the crime or the fact that there's been very good vaccination in those countries. or a lot of penetration by previous variance in the populations. whether studies have been done. the critical thing, and this is why the restrictions are taken is to leave some reserve in your health system for other things. this is a period of time when people get ill with all kinds of other things, but she winter accidents, heart attacks, all sorts of things that need intensive care. and i amik once problematic for 2 reasons, because it's spreading so quickly. the people who need to provide that care of getting sick, as well as the people who are coming into hospital. so even if you are,

people are in hospital. if you've got fewer people to look after them, you've also got a problem. so the critical thing is to trying to jam pin down the spread, the real effect you'll get is getting the people who have not been fascinated 1st. so even though many countries in chief, very high levels of vaccination, they still haven't reached everyone and those sadly other people who coming into hospital and many of them are still losing their lives, we prefer not see mandates. it's much better if you understand why you'd want to vaccine and go and get it. but the people who are very hard line will still find ways to avoid it. right at the beginning of this pandemic, all countries of the world got together and said, yeah, we need to vaccinate the whole world at the same time. now, sadly, when the vaccines became available. so interest all want to have and took home and all the contracts were pulled out by the most merciless rich countries leaving the

countries with less power, less resources at the end of the queue that we set up a system called co. that's to ensure that it could be delivered to everybody. ah, you as president joe biden has taken a hit on it's a big one. this time, more democrats would now rather see someone else run in 2020 full. it does chime in with a battering his writings have taken during his 1st year in office. so for a moment here on the program without caleb mauppin correspondent, let's look back. at his 1st year in office was like a fairy tale joe biden was set to ride into the white house on a white horse to save the country from the nightmare. those lights that are shooting out from the lincoln memorial. i look, it's like almost extensions of jo biden's arms embracing america president elect joe biden and vice president harris cold the grief and regret out of the privacy of our hearts if just for a moment so that we all could share it. but in just a year,

the country seems to have shifted from tears of joy and sighs of relief to let's go brandon. mm mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. oh, oh, also that 70 percent of americans doubt that biden is a leader. you can trust only donald trump had a worse approval rating at this point in his presidency. and it's not just the american voters, the mainstream media that wants praised him, are now calling him worse than a lame duck and recommending he not run for reelection in 2024. why do you churn? how could this have happened to a democratic president?

so love by mainstream media and the party establishment, coven das, at this point of added up to about the population of st. louis and atlanta combined double what it was when trump left office. joe biden does not have much to say about this topic. with why i find it on the origin that with joe biden is urging americans to get vaccinated. one can't help but wonder if americans have hesitation about heating their commander in chief's words. wild assertions administration was making about how this was going to go away, and jack leech and all those kinds of things. it was diminishing confidence across the board. you know, you can't, but you can't say everyone. yes, this actually requirements work only makes sense to require a vaccine to stop the spread of covert 90 forcing people to get vaccinated with

mandates is not exactly a big hit either federal and private companies are fighting them in court. furthermore, you got the senate repudiating the vaccine mandates and judges ruling against them . inflation is at a 39 year high, half of the americans say that biden is making things worse. and 2 thirds of americans say that inflation is causing them financial hardships. like ever since he became president, things have been slowly going downhill, especially in this said everything is about 40 percent higher than or was a couple of years ago. so no, i would not say that they're doing a great job. to be honest, is actually one more up lake. everything went on. it's bad is really bad. the afghan pull out got pretty massey. 13 soldiers died before hanging from plains and us personnel was left behind on republicans wanted joe biden to be impeached.

now that didn't exactly play out, but people aren't exactly ready to move on from this afghanistan disaster. with it's not only the u. s. public, it's unhappy with the afghan. pull out with an army ranks. there's rising discontent, active duty marine corps. lieutenant colonel stuart sheller. a combat veteran with multiple deployments in iraq and afghanistan even went public. he demanded accountability from senior military and civilian leaders for their failures. people are upset because they're senior leaders, let them down, and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability are saying we mess this up. i'm not saying we've got to be in the in afghanistan forever, but i am saying, did any of you throw your rank on the table to say, hey, it's a bad idea to evacuate bob graham airfield, the strategic air berries before we evacuate everyone. this got him charge in military court, find and punished, but many consider him

a hero. what about the commander in chief himself? now biden is telling people he opposed the war in afghanistan from the beginning. however, the record begs to differ. he was beating the drums of war for afghanistan and iraq, 20 years ago, back when it was popular. but i guess this is not the only thing he has forgotten. and i want to thank you that so down on thank you very much val. but i'll kinda side of course, present harris is a proud howard. oh, no wonder so many of his press conferences and grabs the white house, sometimes even cuts his live feed polls shell that americans are questioning his mental capacity democrat is starting to get worried with mid term elections less than a year away. and biden unpopular even in states where he won the election by a large margin. there's so many reasons people should be disappointed and upset with by them. it's hard to settle on one. certainly, afghanistan was a huge blow to america's sense of itself. and the outrage in middle america is not

to be underestimated even today. at the way joe biden got us out of afghanistan. joe biden, drug america down an ugly past. of course the economy is the unkept promises. his insistence that he would shut down the virus and not be economy. and since then, of course, he's had more debts on his watch. then trump had on a longer time scale. i believe our allies no longer trust us. i believe our enemies are lining up to take advantage of us. you see how it all goes together and it all is generally against american interest. it's extremely unfortunate and he's not showing any sign of changing his weights or half way through the program here in our international on this tuesday. good to have you with us still to come x. i was more special on the heard a voice project here with r t. we speak to a man who spent 14 years behind bars at one time obey his story. in spite of field

put back in just a month with ah ah ah ah ah, a ah with move when i was showing the wrong one,

i just don't move a shape out. the same becomes the african an engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, 521 p. m, here in moscow, staying with russia here on the program where the country's top court has now rule to close the historical group called memorial. and the organization mission, among others, is to research and document sophia era crimes. during the repressions as audio senior correspondent, but i'd gasdio now takes a closer look. is that an organization, a historic organization which, which focus specialized on identifying the remains of,

of individuals as well as mass graves, people killed in war crimes in political repressions during, during the soviet period that the prosecutor, when they, when they fall this case they argued that while yes, the organization, initially it was created and focused on identifying those individuals and letting their families know how they died, finding out who was behind their deaths. but over the years, argues the prosecutor. their mission has changed. there was less identifying people and more rewriting history, trying to attribute their deaths to political repressions in the u. s. a. soc, they repeatedly violated russian law. the constitution which sherman forces, foreign agents, or organizations which are sheep funding for the broad come mark their material, as published by someone who's a foreign agent, russian was much more lenient than that is in the united states. you won't face 5 years behind jail if you, if you refused to mark your material as

a foreign agent. nevertheless, there are, there are funds, and now it has come to this to, to liquidation. in court. joe biden has approved a colossal military budget for the coming year, despite objecting to a clause that essentially makes it impossible to shut down one ton of a prison in cuba. the $770000000000.00 us defense build includes a ban on funding for transferring detainees out of that facility. what does that mean? it means they'll remain there in legal limbo for the foreseeable future. that's part of our unheard voices project. we spoke to a former, get mo prisoner whose story actually inspired the movie, the mauritania, and, ah, and i did confess to crimes. i didn't because of torture. i was received

by i was beaten till they broke my and i was not given food for a very long periods of time. i was sexually assaulted on multiple occasions, received a provision that for 70 days, nor sleep. it's almost like a lie, but still we have not concluded that it was the use of the i teased within that program that allowed us to obtain useful information from detainees subjected to them. i know i didn't do any and i said, i'm not really. i'm not going to high that's causing me a lot of pain and suffering me leaving soon as it country that the respectful
