lives being lost, ah ah, how's the world sees in the new year with spectacular fireworks coming up this our now say we look at some of the positive predictions being made for 2022. with experts forecasting the global economy is set to grow while inflation will start to fall according to a major investment bank. and of course we review the year that's just gonna say with a look at some of the big passes that i'm probably including a controversial defense sale that store fronts at loggerheads with . hello. are you watching? are the international this new year's day? just gone 3 o'clock in the afternoon. now the entire world has entered to 2022 with

the pacific islands that make up the last zone, welcoming new year's day. a lot of celebrations were scaled back for a 2nd year because of it. however, many capitals were able to bring in the new year with spectacular firework display . ah ah.

well here in russia, president vladimir pacing gave his annual new year's address to the nation. and he emphasized the pandemic has taught russians to cope with certain hardships together and wished every body good health. we caught up the people in central moscow to get their hopes, becoming more cautious. there were several has just learned. i wish happiness to every willing and that we finally overcome kobe, where mosque and get vaccinated than ever when we finally received the gifts in the new year, is as did the sure what the i heard getting the new year will be traveling somewhere

to our case and not mandatory, and we can have a break from our masks and forget about the previous years. we've got my wish every one happy, near health, a peaceful sky above the head and for things to turn out better for people than they can even imagine, hey, mr. milan and britain prime minister parish johnson claimed in his new year's message that the country is in a much better position now, specifically when it comes to the cape crisis. happy new year. 2022 is almost upon us. and whatever the challenges that freight continues to throw in our way, we can say one thing with certainty. opposition this december, the 31st is incomparably better than last year. said though daily infections in the u. k. hit another record high on friday, and england's top health officials to say that the health services now on a war footing the u. k though, is not alone when it comes to struggling with the pandemic. the karen looks back on

the past year. if 2020, with the year we love 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 that 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 johnson flip flopped on guidelines. leading brits confused and frustrated where mosques don't wear mosques, hug your friends, don't hug friends, rush on your neighbors, and cancel your parties. as the p. m was alleged to exempt himself from the rose and i

ah ah, there's a meetings of people at work today, but this is where i live and to our work. others are meetings of people at what 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 there 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 mandates. we're creating similar divisions as binds 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 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 that he's no doubt that the neck, which i believe the sharing of those vaccines has cost many lives. while some countries are now rolling out blanket booster programs, only half of w just members, states have 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 may cost the savings at the rich got rich themselves, new figures from the people's vaccine alliance revealed that the companies behind $2.00 of the most successful covered 1900 vaccines, pfizer by and taken the durn, are 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 what 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 cave 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 us more than we ever needed to know about corporate greed and poor leadership. some of the 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. so 2021 then maybe a year a lot of us would like to forget, but it did see a lot of people get creative online is i like to look at the year just gone ah, a

. c do a a

in okay, well as for the year ahead then financial experts are predicting that things could be looking up american investment bank, bogan stanley has a pretty positive look for the economy. and that's predict that inflation in 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 are expected to recover boosting commerce and driving an inflation throughout the world and emerging markets predicted to grow faster than the global average, especially in asia. however, chinese economy may slow down compared with last year, unless the government says eases up on certain regulations including on carbon emissions. when those predictions didn't come, try to bring much need to relief to the many people have suffered and economic

squeeze after 10 k, which blighted years during which prices have sort, especially for any gene fuel. we asked to economists for their predictions. for the coming. i mean, the one i'm most concerned about is going to be the shock that results from a u. r. sovereign debt and currency prices. i believe that that is inevitable. and that is going to be the biggest financial a people that the world, the scene. i think the biggest issue in terms of the market is what's the alternative that people are going to turn to against the us dollar. it doesn't look as if bitcoin and crept to currency so far have reached significantly wide enough acceptance 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 currently 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 say the planet from climate change, if this really is the existential rad i, 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 up historically for large waves of the population over the course of the last 20 years. you're looking in 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 while the engine romans still look at kansas bread and games. it doesn't seem to be an awful lot of fun there to be had a locked on europe at the moment. thanks 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 protests that have been occurring. indeed, in recent weeks of places like holland, the pride to lock don once again to the had few. this is day 2 decade to fighting only to disappear chaotically in a matter of months. we look at how the war and afghans have less veterans who served. asking was it worth it that story to come after the break with the oh, happy new year. special kaiser report with the one and only geral, salenti, originator of the transport, jasmine, you know, stuff ah,

jewish things that have happened in the world were 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 reality. the subtle to you how various and complex people are put them into categories is this lot is bad, we'll get rid of them. you know and change is an organic process. change is an evolution and the opposition is not between the status and everything must stay the same and everything must be radically changed. a radical change is not the way that kills. ah, welcome back. now, a major international rift developed last year between old friends and saw 2

countries on opposite sides of the planet. driven even further apart, australia i'm france, fell out after the french was snubbed at the last minute when britain and the u. s . will destroy into a new defense packed. charlotte davinsky has more on the deal, the turn triggering the nuclear option is always going to be risky. business as australia found out in 2021. we need to, so i did to, rene, gonna 56000000000 euros submarine deal with france. so how did cambra elect paris? no, i friends. all this is bull. a new enhance trilateral security partnership between the strider, the united kingdom and the united states. that announcement saw wrong select flabbergasted, but it was not at a loss for words cbm. it's really a snap in the back. a relationship of trust had been built with australia and this

trust has been betrayed. crohn's livid that that deal of a century wave keyboard. and i want to thank her that fell down under. thank you very much. i appreciate wish to progress 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 stria a lawyer. we have a try block. we have the recall of an accident and we have a very haughty if the medic situation branch assuming the presidency of the a. you very significant fire in global politics and very hostile and a long memory and feel the tribe are even president. by the way, it's managed with clumsy, which is presidential for 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 aware the deal was doomed. i made it very clear that i conventional diesel powered submarine was not going to meet the strategy of strategic requirements. we discussed that candidly, then one of those, a parent messages between the french and all the leaders, was leaked. should i expect good old bad news from our joint submarines ambitions? oh, dear. oh dear that 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 hitting a new. lo and it seems the whole debacle hasn't gone down to well in australia.

either the desire to acquire submarines will literally burn bridges with some of our most longstanding items will undermine original security and will break a lot of formal and informal regional understandings and cooperation. a great, so they are profound implications for australia. they are financial security, environmental. they're also very much about defense an hour an hour bipolar cells, and how good they are in the region and the world shifting towards nuclear submarines raises of the questions to give them that a straight is a non nuclear power nation. the real concern to move will facilitate or push original on. we've already seen expressions from

japan and south korea flying. we would also consider all welcome nuclear, how it's submarine doctrine. and there is a real concern that this will now break. i sort of understanding and lead to increased military expansion of christians and technical capacity increases in the region while astray. it may, if hope that sampling up to the u. s. might have given it to boost on the international stage. what it seen is the reverse trade talk to the you have been picked into the long grass. but in through all the stuff there is 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. strain is lead is may not be quick to co known just how big of an issue this could be. but astray names themselves have been left wondering if they government is a few studies short of a 6 pack solid, even seeing all t paris now. and another major story last year, us troops and that allies rapidly pulled out of afghanistan off to 2 decades of full. but for many who served there is still a looming question. was it worth it? spotify? on heard voices project at r t dot com. we spoke to week a ami veteran about the i can take my life last year and i was in a wheel by the way, my mind and 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, moves away. so we'll put, put quite

a few people lives in the last 4 or 5 years. most recently, a few months ago. i few been through hell and you're still living it. you just get a feeling of fear the news wouldn't understand, you know, and given the order to kill someone, still few people get upset about things today that don't maybe what i want. so i am ok my coffee. i really just drink the coughing the

when i 1st went to the dentist on, we were told that we were going to burn the poppy fields to the promised work. do not, not planned, change them. and we landed in 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 yourself and realize why we here. what are we doing? we're not looking to start. i think there was a pointless exercise. what's happening in the south of afghanistan, the rhythms about the taliban trying to get back power? ah, we want our way back. and the taliban had already got 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 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 as a constant heights about, over a weeks and weeks and most ah u. k. troops and officials would run the plot to a more serious deadline. it thanks to the colossal exertions this country has not been processed and checked, vetted, and ended more than 15000 people to safety in less than 2 weeks. i mean, it's been a complete mess. have binds in ministration, worked with the rest of his allies. it would've been,

we were going to leave anyway, but we could have done it in a systematic approach. for instance, you don't even need to have a military 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 b. s and then fly them like what you don't do your flyers, your military, and then go, what about the, what about the civilians? and i got to go home, be 600 version m. 16 weapon systems, 3 stars and bombs left behind. so last, munitions that can use fridays like last night i was watching that i watch a video of telephone draft as us special forces moving in behind to take control of fortune x, which, you know, it's just unbelievable. we don't have too many people for situation which we just gave up on his story there from our project. unheard voices which you can still view artsy, dot com, just gone 25 past 3 here. moscow. not some of us did see in the new year with

parties and others were religious reflection. but here's how some areas of romania have been doing it as part of a local tradition. dressing back in for the annual festival. the change of the year does pre date, christianity, and things done to go from highest the highest singing, unfurling to ward off evil areas. not easy to dance, neither. the costumes here are actual back in the way up to 14 kilos. they also costs about $3000.00 euros. the price that has drastically increase you imposed restrictions on $100.00 from the animals, provides determined to try to dish not to do. i've been doing this since i was 5 years old. i go every year with my parents to every house to banish the evil spirit i'm talk to from i think it's very nice to

see romanian traditions in this area where we live. it's my 1st time attending this, and i love it. me more here in russia, the holiday season still has some way to go with you with the dogs christmas being celebrated next friday, and ornaments and other festive items are in high demand still for decorations. my wonder one enterprising russian pensioner is taking a particularly creative approach to this by reusing bits and pieces lying around his ho me ah . so you can feel my legs. i can only sit and lie. i haven't been outside for 4 years. ah,

folk song broken all the time when my wife's friend came over, she liked the doll so much that she took it home. when people start sneed, my ah, ah, in yo, unless you started making compositions with animals and mushrooms, my friends began to come enough to buy them. i didn't refuse, so i don't charge him too much money. me the most efficient loads. i gave them to everyone in the summer. not bad. even cool ones came out. and for some reason the fish bice ah,

the main thing to do to make some remarkable. it doesn't take much. but from this junk, these things come out. ah . just commit the past 3 years. i'm back again with more stories in a what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be in arms. race is on often very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very critical time time to sit down and talk a colorado became kind of a 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 why can i and then it just keeps going and going and going. i'm just going to do it one. yeah. and then it's, i'm just going to try this one said never do it again because they want like 11 and i'm right on inside. okay. and you surround yourself with people who are encouraging you to do it not to stop or it's all like my life was over, jumped office about the balcony and died me she knew the just.
