[000:00:00;00] ah, as the world rings in the new year with fireworks illuminating landmarks around the globe, we recap some of the challenges of the past 12 months. is cove, it continues to cast a shadow. with leather news, ad us inflation will retreat and the global economy will grow. that's the forecast ahead from a major american investment bank. we're going to take a look of what to expect in the year ahead and also over our shoulder at some of the past year's big political spats, the divisive defense deal that so france frozen out as australia, britain of u. s. banded together,

pissing long time allies against each other. ah . hello, there is just to and am here in moscow the start of a new day and a new year. welcome to 2022 from the international. i'm calling bright. well, most of the world is now in 2022. and it's been the 2nd new year's celebrations to have been scaled back by coping restrictions. but in many capitals, people did get to enjoy the spectacular fireworks illuminating the sky. here's some of them.

ah ah, with well here in russia, president vladimir putin get his annual new year's address to the nation. emphasizing that the pandemic has told russians to cope with certain hardships and wishing everyone could help. a people we spoke to in central moscow expressed their hopes that the new gave will bring positive changes and

a possible end to the pandemic. yeah, because you're still, we're several is just learned. i wish happiness to every willing and that we finally overcome cova. but when laska you get vaccinated the never really fly against in you is us did issue what the i mean, the normal yeah. will be traveling somewhere to law case. i'm not mandatory if you can have a break from. i'm asking and forget about the people of florida. god, i wish everyone happy new year health, a peaceful sky up on the head, and all the things to turn out to people than they can even imagine image that time . britain prime minister boris johnson claimed in his new gaze message that the countries in an incomparably better position now, specifically when it comes to the kobe crisis. happy new year. 2022 is almost upon us. and whatever the challenges that fate continues to throw in our way, we can say one thing with certainty, our position this december, the 31st, is incomparably better than last year. and the reality might be far less sunny with

daily infections in the u. k. hitting another record i, on friday, england's top health officials are also warning that the health services now on a war footing. the u. k. is not alone, of course, in struggling with the pandemic route. 2021. nick air and something is cobit challenges around the globe. if 2020 was the year we lost to cove, it 2021 was the year life was supposed to get back on track. but as always, things on never that simple. after months of locked downs and restrictions 2021. so patients reach boiling points with trust in lead is at an all time low. and people's spinning on to the street in protest. despite officials warning inoculation was vitally important. ah in the u. k. the government's reputation, nose dived as p and boris stones and flip flopped on guidelines. leaving brits

confused and frustrated. where masks don't wear mosques, how your friends don't hug friends right on your neighbors and cancel your parties as the p. m was alleged to exempt himself from the rules and i, oh oh, there's with meetings of people at work today, but this is where i live and so i work others with meetings with people at work. unsurprisingly,

the country is predicting his days in number 10 on now. none but i elsewhere in europe and vaccinated people were bought from much of public life and they were take to germans, made their thoughts on this heard ah, similar angry scenes in australia, crowds opposing restrictions and vaccine mandates flooded the streets. ah, state side vaccine mondays were creating similar divisions as bind and announced that vaccination would be compulsory for health workers, teachers and anyone working within a team of more than a 100. again, a suggestion, many were unwilling to take lying down both politicians and ordinary citizens.

ah, cove, it has become our common enemy, rather than bring it as closely together. it became another example of the disparity between rich and poor vaccine make his sold medicine to the highest bidders. and rich countries promised to share but hoarded doses, the surplus destroyed. while the poorest nations of the world went without, there is no doubt that the net equitable sharing of those vaccines has cost many lives. while some countries are not rolling out blanket booster programs, only have off w just member states. i've been able to reach that target to function 1840 percent of their populations by the end of the year, because of distortions in global supply. meanwhile, the vaccine makers, the savings that the rich got rich themselves new figures from the people's fixing lines revealed that the companies behind 2 of the most successful covered 1900 vaccines,

pfizer by and taken during our making combined profits of $65000.00 every minute, despite receiving public funding of over a $1000000000.00, the 3 corporations have refused calls to urgently transfer vaccine technology and know how with capital producers and low and middle income countries. for those who was counting that money in 2021, the year was one of loneliness, anxiety and depression, of epidemic levels. but those who we turn to when a need of care were experiencing a crisis of their own various states. one of an impending health care system collapse with the national guard deployed for support and health care staff across the globe on strike over unworkable conditions. ah,

and then we come full circle is hospital workers who object to monetary cova jobs all fired regardless of their reasons to decide the mandates. i am being escorted out of kaiser permanente hospital for my religious belief because i don't want to get a job. in 2020. we became arm chair experts in epidemiology 2021 taught is more than we ever needed to know about corporate greed and poor leadership. some of to such a check, a couple of years from may be forgiven for looking at 2022 through their fingers. a little uncertain of what the year will bring on here is we close the door on the just go on. there is a lot we'd rather forget, but it did also bring out the creative side for a lot of people online. here are a few of the major moments that were turned into memorable means. ah,

a in, in a

ah, in a bit of positivity inflation in the united states recently hit its highest point in 4 decades. but this year it could be different investment bank. morgan stanley predicts that inflation has yet to pay, but it will them fall back on the ball. the large should see growth of 5 percent banks. optimism doesn't stop their supply chains are expected to recover boosting commerce, driving down inflation around the world. emerging market so predicted to grow faster than the global average, especially in asia. but china's economy may slow down compared with last year, unless the government did up on some restrict restrictions and regulations such as

on carbon emissions. got those predictions do come true. they'll bring much needed relief to the many who suffered economic hardship off the 2 panoramic blighted years, which is seen inflation. so and energy costs top the headlines. financial technology executive, patrick young and pacific capital is chief economist peter ship shed with us that predictions for the coming year. me, the one i'm most concerned about is going to be the shock that results from a u. s. sovereign debt and currency crisis. i believe that that is inevitable, and that is going to be the biggest financial upheaval that the world the scene. i think the biggest issue in terms the market is what's the alternative that people are going to turn to against the us dollar. it doesn't look as if bit con, encrypted currency so far have reached significantly wide enough exceptions to really be the alternative that's needed. and certainly who wants to abandon the usa because the u. s. dollar is at least the symbol of an economy that is consistently

rejuvenate itself in favor of something like the euro. the next best option, when we see the europeans in mass locked on having gas problems, all sorts of other issues at home, which don't suggest that the euro currency is any more stable. i do think that to move towards green energy is going to slow down substantially as people realize how expensive that's actually going to be. i mean, if you're really want to say the planet from climate change of fish really is the existential threat. it's going to come with a huge price tag. there's a situation, it's certainly in europe, in all the parts of the world. if you get inflation, we just have not been going on historically for large waves of the population. over the course of the last 20 years. you're looking at a position where people are going to be squeezed financially. they may have energy issues and certainly as their gas bills go up. what's the basis of politics? well, the engine romans told us panel after kansas bread and games, that doesn't seem to be an awful lot of fun, like there to be had a lot on europe at the moment times to cope with 19. and if it's going to be more

expensive to simply teach your home to like your home, and indeed to have the food that you want in your home. some people are going to get very, very upset. and it's not beyond the power of reason that we're going to see an increase in the sort of general protest that has been occurring. indeed, in recent weeks, us places like holland of tried to lock down again looking back at a major scandal from last year, 2 countries on opposite sides of the planet. so a lucrative decision drive them even further apart. australia and france fell out after the french was snubbed at the last minute when britain in the u. s. wooed australia into a new defense packed shallow dubin ski reports on the deal, which divided old friends, triggering the nuclear option is always going to be risky. business as us train your found. i think 2021 we need to. so i did to, rene, gonna 56000000000 euros submarine deal with franks. so how did cambra elect parents know?

i friends all. this is a new enhanced trilateral security partnership between the strider, the united kingdom and the united states. that i know when i saw ron select flabbergasted, but it was not at a loss for words. see, but i mean, it's really a stop in the back. a relationship of trust have been built with australia and this trust has been betrayed. crohn's livid that deal of a century wave keyboard. and i want to thank her that trouble down on thank you very much. i appreciate it to premise was scrapped without a claims. only warning what followed was an a bomb of a diplomatic full lance. we had the president of france calling the prime minister, a lawyer. we have a try block. we have the recall of ambassador and we have

a very frosty diplomatic situation. branch, shaving the presidency of the a, you are very significant. fire in global politics and very hostile and a long memory and feel the trite, ah, even president, by why that is, was managed, was clumsy with cham in presidential her heading, and screaming amber. and if you people think that things couldn't get any worse than you'd be wrong, australia's prime minister tried to suggest that france was aware the deal was doomed. i made it very clear that i conventional diesel powered submarine was not going to make a strategy as strategic required. we discussed that candidly. then one of who is a parent messages between the french and all the leaders was leaked. should i

expect good or bad news from our joint submarines ambitions? oh, yeah. oh. when done with france? well, a bit like this submarine deal, inelegant crude confidence has been completely shattered. that's how the french saw it. relations hating a new, lo and it seems the whole debacle. having gone down to well in australia over the desire to acquire nuclear submarines will literally burn bridges with some of them. a long standing divers will undermine regional security. and we'll break a lot of formal and informal, regional understandings and cooperation grades. so they are profound implications for stria financial maturity, sy, fi environment. so they're also very much about the same cost and completion

and perception cells and how others, the in the ration and the world shifting towards nuclear submarines raises of the questions to give them that a story is a non nuclear power nation. the real concern that move by will facilitate or push a regional arm drive with already st. expressions from japan and south korea saying we would also consider a welcome, a nuclear pallet submarine option. and there is a real concern that this will now break. i sort of understanding and lead to increased military expansion as oppressions and technical capacity increases in the region. while australia may, if hope that sampling up to the u. s. might have given it

a boost on the international stage. what it seen is the reverse trade talks through the you have been picked into the long grass. but in true asi style, there is a no worries kind of attitude so much so that it's just stuck up 2 fingers to french, designed helicopters to no one. the front says the rift between the 2 countries remains open. australia's lead is may not be quick to caught known just how big of an issue this could be. but australians themselves have been left wondering if they government is a few stubby short of a 6 pack solid. even ski r t. paris now lost here, saw u. s. troops in the allies leave afghanistan the off the 2 decades of war. but for many who served there still a looming question. what was it all for? i was part of our unheard voices project on our t dot com. we spoke to

a u. k. army veteran about the war and what it meant for the people fighting it. i take my life last year and i was in a wheel by the way, my mind ended. i nearly lost my son. i didn't know what to do. a lot of the guys i was with don't really talk to each other any more. i mean, they're going try to delete it and move away. so we'll put, put quite a few people lives in the law spot for 5 years. i think the most recent is only a few months ago. i few been through hell and you're still living it. you just get

a feeling of fear somebody wouldn't understand, you know, and given the order to kill someone, stuff you, people get upset about things today that don't maybe look satellite i want. so i walk in my coffee, i really just drink the coffee when i 1st went to go on, we were told that we were going to burn the poppy fields to the palms, palm change them out. we landed in a scar on our troops in a way that they haven't for many years are going to be fighting alongside other countries and situations of great danger. soldiers are very good at taking orders and just getting on with it. i'm not questioning orders, but as you go through the years and you mature and you start to sort of have to bring in the thing for yourself and realize why we here. what do we think we know looking at? i think it was a pointless exercise. what's happening in the south of afghanistan,

the rhythms about tight and the taliban trying to get back power. ah, we want our way back. and the taliban had already got in the grind that we had already cleared. my friend, my reader, up just a couple stood on one and died instantly lost his arms and legs. i believe it's 17 casualties all from, from our group out of each of those casualties. you've got quite a few guys affected by what they've seen. it's trauma on top of trauma, it's a constant heights about over a weeks and weeks, and most of the u. k. troops and officials work round the clock to

a more serious deadline. it's thanks to that colossal exertions this country has not been processed, checked, vetted, and ended more than 15000 people to safety in less than 2 weeks. i mean, it's been a complete mess. had binds and ministration worked with the rest of his allies. it would have been, we were going to leave anyway, but we could have done it in a systematic approach. for instance, you don't even the top of middle of the mindset. do you understand that if you're going to extract from a country, you bring back all your citizens from the embassy, put them into secure b. s and then fly them or what you don't do, your flyers, your military and angle. what about the, what about the civilians tama and i got that got home be 600016 weapon systems, 3 stars and bombs left behind. so that's munitions that can use for id the glass that i was watching. last night i watched the video of telephone draft as us special forces moving in behind her to take control of fortune x, which, you know,

it's just unbelievable. we talk to many people for situation which we just gave a guy. that's what we got for you so far. this new you this morning in moscow. if it's 2022 where you are. oh, you'll get to ring in midnight. thank you for watching. i'm from me calling brian that same here. happy new year. ah . oh, this isn't an open it. oh, even susie children have been kid for at the finance house. i bought a house for chicken. my much mom with much and he's got a nice many goals and she only middle the issue.

i shannon is violet. my mom is violet that dana mom of yes. my city with me. okay. allow me to book a book. i love you for a lot of people. i would love me a shot. i can redeem your theme. i mean, i do wish things that have happened in the world are being done by people who had

a great vision of how society could be better. but that great vision is typically the left hemisphere representation is not real. it doesn't take into account any of the complexity of the reality, the subtle to you how various and complex people it puts them into categories is this lot is that we'll get rid of them. you know and change is an organic, crave says change is an evolution and your position is not between the status and everything must stay the same and everything must be ready. key chain, radical change is knocked away with a colorado. he came on the test bed for medical and then later recreational marijuana and it started with some things 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 was yeah, and then it's, i'm just going to try this website but never do it again because the one wife was in the morning. i'm right on inside. ok. and you surround yourself with people who are encouraging you to do it not to stop or it's all my life was over. jumped office about balcony and died. mm. you just couldn't stop. ah, las vegas was the last resort. it was like tombstone territory, where all outlaws go to die. the mob was really generous with everything they gave

the rooms away. they gave the drinks away. the only thing they were concerned about was just making money on the gambling table. food and rooms and all that was just seeing as the service to keep the machines turner and you always felt welcoming even if you were poor because you're all totally walked out the door for the most part. right. you could lose all the money that you had and you'd be, can't dinners and breakfasts is and rooms and everybody was a high roller when they came to vegas. you come back next year and blow your money again. the main crime was skimming, and the monsters detected their turn to the extent that they didn't want to draw attention and the st. criminals drew attention. so they stopped and got him out of town. he put them in a shallow grave. over in san bernardino county, the old mom didn't allow street crime when the mob ran the town. people didn't lock their doors at night. it was considered to be a safe town back then. ma upstairs or skimming money off the casinos and not paying taxes on that money. but in the 1980s they started getting caught. so you're starting to see

a transition from the old kind of marchers where the bat noses to suits ran into place. this is a totally integrated, balanced resort, a man who turned up the wattage in las vegas. his casino mogul steve, when he set off a building boom in the 1980s that turned a bunch of gambling joints into an international tourist bought the when was the reason why vegas is the way it is. he's responsible for it. when he sold the gold nugget and he built the mirage, he changed las vegas tropical setting with lagoons, an adrian top homes. and you can see the show room where zig very roy are going to perform with a just loaded. that's where the template for the current las vegas casinos evolve from. las vegas started to change or get rid of the small, independent on casinos going more into the corporate world. big money was started

around the town as opposed to the people that live there. when you started seeing the logins, all that old stuff come down and all the new stuff was coming in. carlos are all these new manga resorts. in the mid ninety's, all vegas was gone through this family friendly phase jim law. over here they decided to build the park on the back of the property. it was starting to become a place you could bring your kids to. and then they realize all these people here spend the time with their kids, or non to casinos, tear down the theme part will model charles m g m resorts international all over again to these properties. and teasers all the, most of the rest of what's left and outside of that you have like the way in the car on the venetian. those are owned by other people. but for the bulk of it, you just have gym resorts in the national and caesars. basically all of all the
