is more important than ah ah, as the world sees in the new year with spectacular fi works, we look at some of the positive predictions being made for 2022. including forecast, global economy will grow and inflation is set to fall according to a major american investment bank. and of course, we reviewed the gauge is gone to with a look at some of the big political spats on phone, including a controversial defense deal. so front, loggerheads with the welcome you're watching out international with this new stage just gone to o'clock in the russian capital. now all parts of the world have started at 2022

with the clock having just struck midnight and a few pacific islands that make up the last time zone. a lot of celebrations were scaled back for 2nd year because of cove it, however, many capitals were able to bring in the new year with spectacular firework display . ah ah,

with or here in russia, president vladimir payton gave his annual new year's address to the nation. and he emphasized the pandemic has taught russians to coke with certain hardships together and wished every body good health more people we spoke to and sent for moscow. did express hopes, new year will bring positive changes and a possible end to the pendant your customer. several, a chef lawrence, i wish happiness to every willing and that we finally overcome kobe, but where moscow and get vaccinated. then every we find a good was in the new is us did issue what the i how it shouldn't be normal. yeah.

will be traveling somewhere. so. okay. i'm not mandatory. i still have a phrase mom asking and forget about the floor. so, god, i wish everyone happy new year health, a peaceful sky above the head and for things to turn out to people than they can even imagine. to mr. meanwhile, in britain prime minister parish johnson there claimed in his new year's message, countries in a much better position now specifically when it comes to the code, the crisis happy new year 2022 is almost upon us. and whatever the challenges that faith continues to throw in our way, we can say one thing with certainty. opposition this december, the 31st is incomparably better than last year. well that said daily infections in u. k. hit another record high on friday. and england's top health officials do say that the health services on a war footing the u. k,

though is not alone when it comes to struggling with the pandemic. is nicki aaron? looks back not on the past yet. if 2020, with a year we lost to cove it 2021 with 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 jones and flip flopped on guidelines. leaving brits confused and frustrated. where masks don't wear mosques, hug your friends, don't hug friends, rush on your neighbors, and cancel your parties as the p. m with a lead to exempt himself from the rules. and

i oh i ah, there's a meetings of people at work today, but this is where i live and to i work are, those were meetings of people at what unsurprisingly, the country is predicting his days and number 10 on now numbered i elsewhere in europe and vaccinated people were bought from much of public life and they would take the germans made their thoughts on this herd.

ah. similar angry scenes and australia crowds opposing restrictions and vaccine mandates flooded the streets. ah. state side vaccine mandate, we're creating similar divisions as bind and announced that vaccination would be compulsory for health work as 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 close it together. it became another example of the disparity between rich and poor vaccine makers,

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 in 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 the target of vaccinating 40 percent of their populations by the end of the year, because of distortions in global supply. meanwhile, the vaccine makers, the savior that the rich got rich themselves new figures from the people's vaccine alliance revealed that the companies behind 2 of the most successful carving 19 vaccines pfizer by and taken the durn or 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, we're experiencing a crisis of their own various states. one of an impending health care system collapse with the national guard deployed for support on 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 the job in 2020. we became armchair experts in epidemiology 2021 taught is more than we ever needed to know about corporate greed and poor leadership. some off 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 when there is certainly a lot of error redraw. we would rather forget to be closed. the door on the edge is gone, but it did bring out the creative side for a lot of people online. here were just some of the most memorable names of the last 12 months. ah, a

. c new ah, [000:00:00;00] a

ah ah, in well after 2021 was also hit hard by the pandemic. you'd be forgiven for being wary of the year ahead, but things could be looking up because american investment bank, morgan stanley, has a pretty positive look for the economy and predicts inflation. and major markets will rise, but then retreat. while the global economy should grow by 5 percent, and the bank optimism doesn't stop there, either supply chains expected to recover those in commerce and driving down inflation throughout the world. and emerging markets are predicted to grow faster than the global average, especially in asia. however,

chinese economy may slow down compared with last year unless the government is up on certain regulations including on carbon emissions. right. those predictions do come true. they'll bring much needed relief to the many have suffered and economic squeeze off to to cope with blight. give, during which prices sword, especially for energy and fuel. we asked to economists for their predictions for the coming. you mean 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 has seen. i think the biggest issue in turn c markets is what's the alternative that people are going to turn to against the us dollar. it doesn't look as if bitcoin and prepped to currency so far have reached significantly wide enough acceptance to really beat the alternative. the need to,

i'm certainly who wants to abandon the usa because the us dollar is at least a symbol of an economy that is consistently rejuvenate itself in favor, something like the euro. the next best option. when we see the europeans in math 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 really want to save the planet from climate change, if it really is the existential rad, 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 off 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 light 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 of places like holland of tried to lock down. once again. this is data decade to fighting only to disappear chaotically in a matter of months. coming up, we look at how the war in afghanistan has left veterans who served their asking. was it worth it that story after the

oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way? or are you being led to some with what is true was is great. in the world corrupted, you need to descend, ah, so join us in the depths. all remain in the shallows. o, at the new year. special kaiser report with the one and only gerald salenti, originator of the trends for jazz man,

no stuff ah, welcome back. now, a major international risk developed last year between our friends and so 2 countries on opposite sides of the planet, driven even further apart, australia and france fell out after the french were snubbed at the last minute when britain and the u. s. wooed australia into a new defense packed, charlotte davinsky has known the deal that turns south triggering the nuclear option is always going to be risky business as a strain you found out in 2021. we need to, so i did to renee, going to 56000000 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 on select lab the gas stage, but it was not at a loss for words, but 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, deal of a century wave keyboard. and i want to thank her that fellow down on thank you very much. appreciate it. 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 the ambassador and we have a very diplomatic situation. branch, shaving the presidency of the

a. you are very significant liar in global politics and very hostile and a long memory and feel the trite, ah, even president, by why it was managed, was clumsy with cham. is presidential her heading and screaming camera. and if you people think that things couldn't get any worse thing you'd be wrong. australia's prime minister tried to suggest that france was away. the deal was doomed. i made it very clear that i conventional diesel powered submarine was not going to make a strategy as strategic require. we discussed that candidly. then one of them though, 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 yeah. about when done with france? well,

a bit like this of marine deal inelegant crude confidence has been completely shattered . that's how the french saw it. relations hating a new low and it seems the whole debacle. having gone down to well in australia only the the desire to acquire nuclear submarines will literally burn bridges with some of them. a long standing divers will undermine regional security and will break a lot of the formal and informal regional understandings and co operation a great. so they are profound implications for stria financial maturity via skype environment. so they're also very much about the same cost and as completion and perception, both both our 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 seen expressions from japan and south korea flying, we would also consider a welcome nuclear pallet submarine option. and there is a real concern that this will now, right. i sort of understanding and lead to increased military expansion of pressures 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 tray talks through

the you have been kicked 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 skiing, r t. paris. now in another major story, last j g u. s. troops and their allies rapidly pulled out of afghanistan after 2 decades of war. but for many who served this still a looming question. was it worth it? i was part of our on heard voices project a naughty dot com. we spoke to ye, k army veteran. about the war and what it meant for the people who feel they still

fighting it. i tried to take my life last year and i was in a wheel by the way, my mind ended. i needed lost my son, and i didn't know what to do. a lot of the guys i was with don't really talk to each other anymore. i mean, they're going try to delete it and move away small. but quite a few people lives in the last 4 or 5 years. i think that was the reason is only a few months ago. i few been through hell and you're still living it. you just get

a feeling of fear she wouldn't understand, you know, and given the order to kill someone and stuff you people get upset of it, things today that don't need it. i want so i walk in my coffee, i really just drink the coffee. when i 1st went to the gallery on, we were told we were going to burn the poppy fields to the promise to wait and do not. not pon, changed them. we landed in a scar on our troops in a way that they hadn't for many years, are going to be fighting alongside other countries and situations of great danger soonest, 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 a brand new thing yourself and realize, okay, why are we here? what are we doing? we're not looking at gast, i don't think it was a pointless exercise. what's happening in the south of afghanistan?

is that a residence about the taliban trying to get back power? the news we want way back and tell about her already got id in the grind that we'd already cleared. my friend, my really was 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 or the each of those casualties. you've got quite a few guys affected by what they've seen. it's trauma, public trauma, as a constant heights about, over a weeks and weeks. and most the u. k. troops and officials of work round the clock to a remorseless deadline. it,

thanks to the 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. hard by ins and ministration worked with the rest of his allies. it would have been, we were going to leave anyway. but we could have done up a systematic approach. for instance. you do even need to have the middle of the mindset to understand that if you're going to extract from a country, you bring back all your citizens from the embassy, put them into secure bias and then fly them or what you don't do, your flyers, your military and then go, what about the one with the civilians? tama and i got tional sick at home, be 600016 weapon systems, 3000 bombs left behind. so that's munitions that can be used for id the glass that i was watching last night. i watched a video of taliban dressed as us special forces moving in behind her to take control of fortune x. which, you know,

it's just unbelievable. we've lost too many people for situation which we just gave up on that story, that small project unheard voices which you can still view at r t dot com. now in russia, the holiday season has still some way to go with the orthodox christmas being celebrated. next, friday, ornaments and other festive items are in high demand, one and 2 prizing russian pensioner is taking a particularly creative approach by reusing bits and pieces lying around his house . me, what's your oh, i can't steal my legs. i can only say lie. i haven't been outside for before years. mm.
