to run in 2024 or on the program will take him. i went to look back at his 1st year in office with all right into the evening hours. now we go here at moscow just after 6 pm and a full docket of your stories on our teeth this tuesday. so europe is now facing a new wave of angry street. protests, governments are tightening the screws on the unvaccinated, at one protest in germany, a 4 year old child was caught up in pepper spray as the police moved in. oh, according to the police, the child was completely symptom free again after an i wash offices that lost a formal complaint against the mother for endangering her child. meanwhile, over in frogs, anger against restrictions, it shows no signs of dissipation. oh,

since monday a number of german states have imposed stricter covered restrictions. and these include amongst others limiting public gatherings to 10 people. and that is people who have either been vaccinated in he had 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 him protests here in the capital city, berlin, and also in shrine foot. now in the last 8 or you don't child received pepper spray accidentally from the police off to whom mother had forced her to her demonstration in a cram the mother of the child had to appear before a judge. and it comes as police complain that he and who faxes are becoming more

and more violent in france they, the country has recorded a record high of a 100000 new cobit cases a day. at the same time, the country has registered more than a 122000 people who have died from the virus. not this is largely due to the new omi con variant that was 1st detected in south africa. and which tends to be quite mild. but at the same time, the country is seeing a search in dill, to cases that has led to a number of people being hospitalized. the government is looking to transform its cove health passed into a vaccine path. we've heard from the countries of prime minister saying that a negative taste is no longer going to be enough for people to enter bonds were strong and cultural. they use a lot going on. so she said you in front that in europe, the situation is extremely new. way be sweeping over our content. we've reached a symbolic 100000 daily new infection. while we are drafting

a law that will transform the health into a vaccination party in the parliament votes in favor. it will be applied from the 15th of january that we've been across now to the netherlands. they have 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 . well, in the u. k. daily coven infections are reportedly at around $100000.00 mark. the countries, health care system being stretched to their affairs corners are being cut potentially putting lives at risk, some parents on campaign as a raising the alarm over this. they worry that vulnerable children are being discriminated against during cobra to free up bed space. it comes in at a spike in so called a do not resuscitate orders for children with down syndrome and autism. and one mother who was asked to sign one order for her son,

shared her story with us. when she said, well, doctrine is because in home and that's lost on life that you're asking what you should stable. 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 tight. so not he was in the room and she was asking him a lot of questions and he a con and he's kind of class days that he understands. and thank luckily for him. and i didn't, i also me because he was on the 6th day anyway for the sake of the parents. i know that all 7 children die in one respects. i was glad he was on the 6th day because the others where i was 16 and where else themselves do not resuscitate orders or

offer the people who are gravely ill. one sign doctors will not perform c p on to help restart the patients hot. well, in the u. k. d and ours are increasingly being offered to teenagers with autism, a condition that affects 700000 people in the country. they're also being offered to teenagers with down syndrome, the national health service insistence, it's not discriminating. stressing that it regards blanket policies, inappropriate, but carrying a bullet again disagrees. we every child and every has called 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 being a n n y. are people with adults children and will delay while we why on trade? differently with the lack of you must say,

given the health care system i deserve on the social system, i did that, i get the and i just, it was painted 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 then i'm going to be put on that last night and i was off isn't it will leave you out. the dumbest idea, because there's not a lot of room, not so fast, and more work for you. k hospitals with admissions on the rise. again, a new study wants that next year, medical staff absences due to burn out, could triple. the findings suggest hospitals could experience a severe stop shortages with 17 percent of workers expected to call in sick just last week. as the admissions rose absences followed, suit reaching 12 percent. meanwhile,

unions of cold on the government to increase staff pay or face industrial action. then it just does say that the pandemic are created, unprecedented pressure is doing all it can to support doctors and nurses. well, we spoke to medical staff on the ground who say something has got to give david is with us almost 2 years. our doctor, the nurses commission on the ground, absolutely exhausted. they're not just exhausted that scared the tired. you must remember the doctor, the news, the patients do. we are sick. we get physically think we're mentally thing. and quite frankly, we bad the moral burden of what's been happening over the past couple of years. so yeah. 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 give mall, we need to somehow find capacity outside of the chest. 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 is sold our recruitment issues. we do need more. no nurses, we do need more doctors. we've vast amounts in particular the general practice, for example, just keep the status quo. and there are some, a human made burden just in terms of general bureaucracy that can get some workforce who have retired or who have steps down that were to actually come back to some of these barriers and implement that quite quick and easy. but 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 these numbers. is really quite frightening. and also patience because you know, this, you know, of good, proper guidance come in from the talk really terrible environment and, you know, trying to get through this pandemic and being taken for granted at the same time is

leading to now many nurses are talking about going on protest and strike caption on . some of the unions already support of that, but it just seems it's very difficult obviously because we need to think about patient safety, but soon we may not have any nurses in to lead to care for these patients. now the risk opposed by the new strain is still being studied, new research and the use case address it's 70 percent less likely to lead to hospitalization, 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. well, we discussed some details with that spokesperson. 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 and 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 where those 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 in winter, accidents, heart attacks, all sorts of things, of need intensive care. and i am a cons problematic for 2 reasons, because of spreading so quickly the people we need to provide that care a 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 this for the real

effect you'll get is getting the people who have not been fascinated 1st. so even though many countries as cheap, 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, yep, we need to vaccinate the whole world at the same time. now, sadly, when the vaccines became available, so interest or whatever took whole and all the contracts were both on by the most results 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. joe biden has suffered

another hit, and it's a big one. more democrats now, i would rather see somebody else run in 2024. it us chime in with a battering his ratings of taken during his 1st year in office. so let's look back without his kill. it 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

with . 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 2020 for quite a u turn. how could this have happened to a democratic president, so love by mainstream media and the party establishment, coven das at this point, and 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 of it. joe biden is urging americans to get vaccinated. one can't help but wonder if americans have hesitation about heating their commander in chiefs, words wild assertions. the administration was making about how this was going to go away. 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 coven 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 years ago. so no, i would not say that there during her job to be honest is actually one more up lake . everything when it's bad is really bad. the afghan pull out got pretty massey, 13 soldiers died, people were hanging from planes, 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 within army ranks. there's rising discontent. active duty marine corps, lieutenant colonel stuart sheller. a combat veteran with multiple deployments in iraq, 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's all down. thank you very much bout but i'll kinda side of course present harris is a proud howard. oh, no wonder so many of his press conferences and grabbed the white house, sometimes even cuts his live feed full shell that americans are questioning his mental capacity. democrats 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 biden. 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 than 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. i still got a good mix of stories coming away here when arthur international, including something from our unheard voice is a special asi project, but we speak to a man who spent 14 years behind bars. at one fun, i'm of a cuba who story inspired 8 mega movie will give you all the details in just a moment. this is oxy ah

oh, driven by drill shaped banks, concur. some of those with dares sinks. we dare to ask for what we got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development only personally and getting to disease. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk

with by 6 21 pm here in moscow, and staying with russia in the program. but the country's top court has ruled to close the historical group cold memorial. and the organization mission among others is to research and document soviet era crimes during the repressions parties that senior correspondent, murat gas, dia has details. now is now an organization, a historic organization which, which focus specialized on identifying the remains 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 filed 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. 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 suck. they repeatedly violated russian law. the constitution which sherman forces, foreign agents, or organizations which receive 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 by jail if you, if you refuse 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. ah, 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 guantanamo bay prison in cuba. the $770000000000.00 u. s. defense building, putting a ban on funding, for example, for transferring detainees out of get mo, it means they will remain in legal limbo for the foreseeable future. and as part of our special, unheard voices project, we spoke to a man who spent 14 years inside guantanamo bay mohammed to old sly. and his story inspire the award winning movie the more italian with a star studded cast, including jodie foster as a defense lawyer and bennett. it come a batch as a marine prosecutor. 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 the provisions for 70 days, nor sleep. it's almost like a lie, but still we have not concluded that it was the use of e, i t's within that program that allowed us to obtain useful information from detainees subjected to them. i know i didn't do anything and i said, i'm not there for the i'm not going to high that because me a lot of pain and suffering me leaving soon as it country that the respectful of a lot. ah,

i wrote a best selling book that was 2027 languages. not saying this is me. i'm saying this is with the hands of a law with the help of my lawyers. my support is my family and i'm so happy and it was adopted into a movie outside my family, my brother and their lives go on. terry live goes on. it was 9. he 192 on 2 different occasions for a brief period of time that i want to have gone to saudi arabia, gulf countries, including jeremy, where i lived, we supported of a goddess and we used to watch movies to watch a noise document that is about the amount of time and then i decided to join them was i i did not know what i'm tied up more. i had no clue. so i, when i get to,

i've gone to the training camp work console. well, that's the 1st time i know about that. i was very young and i was ready misinform this was a very big propaganda machine led by soon as the america and it's whistle allies out allies saw the they gave me a wrong picture. i thought it was a very good cause to free people and to establish it for the country. at least i didn't even know then what different company meant to be honest. the people were fighting today. we were supporting in the fight against the soviets . i think it was february of 92 the giant in the so called was id talk over to cobble. and i found myself in the middle of

a civil war that i did not want to give up. so that's why i went back to my studies to my life and several of my guys with residing including applied in 98 and i to totally 99. i received a phone call from my cousin and he was living with samba, loud, and used the phone number and then i was stuck. i was tired of the phone number was just a family called he needed help for his father. i. his father is like my father, and i did the necessity to help his father because he was sick and he needed money . i understand the united the america is

a dim alchemist of when it comes to muslims. people of color of the 911. they did not that us visible, it acted like a fascist regime because they said, if you are american with do a little more, if you are not the american and you deserve not i that is fascism in all stories on how the world tyra up turned people's lives and changed the entire face of afghanistan and just check out our unheard voice, a special project right now to all to go home. but also when i teach you tube channels in, just about wrapping up the news cost for this hour here live from moscow. one off the international and other programs set to go when we return to the top of the hour. do hope you can join
