ah ah, police dogs and battens are deployed against anti lockdown demonstrators in amsterdam. the city's mayor gave the order to break up the 1000 strong, illegal rally. and in some of the big stories of the week, just gone. germany shut down half of its nuclear power plant while belgium says it's set to close. busy all of its reactions to within the next 3 years as the transition to green energy gather space for civilian deaths and destroyed homes and africa whistleblower lift the lid on america's drone program. the former operates are currently in hiding for the taliban talks to our teeth. unheard voices project throughout our operations, we were not told about any civilian dance. nobody told us that we hit the wrong

target, so i'm in hiding alone with underground i live in fear speaking honestly, i am fed up with my life, the total with hello there. the latest developments to look back. what's been happening over the last 7 days. you watching the weekly are now it's international love for moscow. with me, kevin, our furnace story that's been happening today. anti locked and demonstrators of clashed with riot police in amsterdam, police, dogs and battens were used to break up the illegal protest. oh, a

1000 people, as you saw their rallying in the dutch capital on some they decline a walk down measures that have been in place in the netherlands for the last few weeks. now the right places you saw there with battens, and their shields were trying to break up the crowd to gather, denounced to them, to show their continued anger against the restrictions that are in a mood. this particular go very, i don't to shoot an emergency which gave police the right to head into the central museum square. it's clear those protests from that to, despite that protest is turned with bolus that the netherlands has been doing this extended look down there since december 13th. and as a result of that sort of shout in central form there also, and that's going to take place and continue going on until at least the middle of

the month of january public gatherings. as part of these restrictions means that no more than 2 individuals could gather at the same time together. so this protest was clearly outside of the block. it's absolutely against those cart measures. but despite that, we saw this chaotic scenes in amsterdam is the police and those protested clashing something we could see they'll swear to across europe. ringback there is this concerned? yes, we're heading into 2022. it's new year. many people who we think this is the time. fresh opportunities a fresh chance. but there are many people who really fear that the fresh restrictions that are coming in to force mean this will be essentially another ground hold here, as the authorities continue to try and grapple with the virus. just to give you an example here in france, there are new restrictions coming in to force. it includes a ban on eating and drinking or long distance train was an old sodium requirement.

now for children as young as 6 to wear a manager i, when necessary. previously, it was only applied to children over the age or lab, and that's of a bloodshed here. and in cities in class wants to have been the regulation was again, to have to wear max outdoors at something that is back in force here in paris. meanwhile, those who remain unvaccinated, there is some really bad news. the natural assembly is going to continue debating this week a new law that would essentially curb the liberals of those who remain and vaccinated further. at the moment anyone who is not. ringback fully vaccinated that 3 vaccines, the 2 vaccines plus the booster am, can go into restaurants and cafes, etc. if they show that they've got a negative p, c r, an teaching task. but that's something that they can only hold for 24 hours and

they have to pay for it that the macklin administration wants to change this yet again, essentially saying that if you're not vaccinated, it doesn't matter if you have a negative test antigen or p c or you will not be allowed into balls, restaurants, et cetera. and you can imagine that that is going to cause a lot of consternation here in france, where around 10 percent of the population remains unvaccinated. there is anger here to resort with the new year's eve where they should have been celebrations. they were abandoned by works on the shoulder elisa and calls the muted festivities, but in disc that they will se versed on to the shows and these a causing problems for the police there. and across the country, we saw a much lamented new year's tradition making a big come back. this is the burning and torching of cars. almost $900.00 vehicles were burned on new year's eve is part of that. now there was also,

i'm good that's been felt in germany too with violent riots in some cities, including in one where they were cautious between the police and protest. is there something we seem to be seen quite a lot of in europe at the moment. the protesters setting up barricades, but then even set bo was a light. now the police say that they had to respond to almost $200.00 calls in just over 2 hours. so very busy new year's eve for police there. now all of this comes amidst another grim milestone. the pandemic shows that there have been over a 100000000 cases of covert a positive cases that have been quoted across the european region. however, did give you some light to this. this does come at a time when studies suggesting that only cron is less likely to damage to lungs than previous variance, such as the delta baron to even the alpha beat of variance. and that it also

provokes a less severe and type disease. so good news, but at the same time, with all the restrictions in place in the continuum, fear that we are seeing from authorities. many people will be questioning if this ongoing tightening of restrictions is in fact, the right path to tried. germany shut down off of its remaining nuclear power stations or new year's eve as part of it shifter more eco friendly energy. it leaves the country now there with only 3 nuclear plants, which are also planned to go offline by the end of the year. but the decisions been heavily criticized as a significant portion of german electricity does come from nuclear sources. country will now after dramatically ramp up production from the sustainable sources either the meantime, increase its reliance on coal. again, opinions were divided among germans. we spoke to live near one of the power plants that was close. as i found a force on an antenna,

it has its pros and cons. but actually here in bergdorf we only saw advantages, other countries are building nuclear power plant steel. and the question is, where do we get our electricity from? i'm and it isn't the others as finally it's happening and i'm very happy about it because you never know if an accident might occur, ortho people might try to destroy it. if of course, are people in the village that see things differently because the village has become rich on taxpayer money, money. if you drive through the village and see how much was invested in ins, order pollution. i think it's an important decision, but i also think we're not there yet. we can't get from renewable energy and we're, we're getting from nuclear power of many locals work, sir, and we have to see where they will end up. but some people definitely lose their jobs, about germany is not alone in phasing out nuclear power. belgium's also decided to shut all of its reactors within the next 3 years. despite the fact that nuclear energy generates almost half that countries, electricity engineers already slammed the decision is counter productive.

the government's decision to face out nuclear energy, the largest source of low carbon energy in belgium and to finance new fossil gas power plants is paradoxical and counterproductive. this decision would only reinforce the predominance of fossil fuels in the belgian energy landscape on top of that. europe's grappling with an energy crunch, said sol, record prices last month. we talked about it with journalist charlie boyle. he believes the pace at which green polish is being introduced is more about political gain at the moment. it's all about lack of planning and seeing cool point score and they may well those beliefs. but as usual, the practicalities always take now the reality is sinking in high inflation. a huge demand surge going in the winter. and we, we simply can't have a situation where energy prices are going up. 1200 percent here. we need to have

a plan around the world, but how they can transition to renewables. what the mixture is going to be in need to be honest about me. so don't worry, which are completely yes. so well let your switches to green energy households. there have been left grappling with a high cost a living along the way. and western politicians has seized the moment to blame russia, play and gets behind the spike in fuel prices at the moment. south taylor's got the latest on it. how did it happen, though, or rather who's to blame? because if there's one thing, every politician knows it's that every crisis needs a guilty party. and sure enough, brussels landed on a tried and tested one. we could on the european commission to urgently open an investigation into possible deliberate market manipulation by gas prom and potential violation of e competition roles. yes, sangree that russians were warm and toasty being you accuse state owned energy

giant gas from i'll being cd and then furious that masika wouldn't just take pity and pipe over some free extra gas and accused the kremlin of paint dirty politics. the increase in price is for energy has deep geopolitical roots. it's part of the geopolitical battle, rushes on it all, its contracts, it cannot be said they are not delivering when they said they would, but it has not increased the quantities contracted full. so now at biting by a contract is foul play. o the things people will say to dodge responsibility. and so there is no need to shift the blame, like some of our partner said, trying to do. sometimes you listen to what is said on the score. you are surprised is just amazing as if they don't see the numbers. i'd like to reiterate. they don't see the realities. they just cover up their wrong mistakes. you know, maybe brussels shouldn't have gone all in on green energy before a long cold winter may be brussels shouldn't talk of banning long term contracts

with gas from before long. cold winter may be brussels shouldn't rely on the notoriously volatile spot market before a long cold winter. but sure. luton sitting in siberia with his hand on the tap. in fact, he's so greedy and mean that he wanted gas from to top up europe stored supplies all the while. a solution to this crisis lies idol, ever heard of north stream to the german regulators should make this decision. they have not yet decided. of course, if we expand supplies along this route, then 100 percent, i can say with absolute certainty, the tension on the european energy market would significantly decline. and that would influence prices. of course, this is an obvious thing, but with the green light still not given. it seems the use not actually that bother about it. citizens off to rural, but he's not enough to negotiate with the russian bath. if it's any consolation to

the europeans, it wasn't just valley, does his political shenanigans left people bankrupt and shivering, post pandemic oil prices skyrocketed, and americans will i fucking out more on fuel than they had since 2014, which would have been bad enough by itself. but then historic inflation hit, this is a historic inflation report, inflation has it a 31 year high with prices rising to more than double. we've seen in recent decades, everything going up and up in up in prices. new numbers showing inflation surging to its fastest pace in nearly 40 years. following up she came. yeah, no, it's pretty windy outside. it's very windy. i almost felt coming up the steps myself. i didn't was determined to prove those haters wrong and show he was up to the task at same time, he obviously wasn't going to admit that his own warren oil was to blame, spoilt or not killing pipelines, halting oil nieces and proposing to tax the industry into oblivion all within the space of 11 months makes the market jittery. so instead he found, you guessed it,

the guilty party, if you take a look at, you know, gas prices and you take a look at the oil prices. so that is a consequence of thus far, the refusal of russia or for the opec nations to pump more or of course it is, but to really make himself look that compromising innocent good guy. and all this, he did make one little dredge announcing that the largest ever release from the us strategic petroleum reserve tell, provide a supply we need as we recover from this pandemic, guess how many barrels of oil a day the u. s. consumes around 20000000. how many barrels did bite and release? 50000000. 2 and a half days was not exactly a big when about big enough to come out looking like a decisive leader taking action. after all,

sometimes all that matters is that you'll seen to be doing something even if you do fail to win them all over. the reason gas prices are going up is because of oils and louisiana, and texas and the dip sticks are in wash and they say 2021. the people prayed that lights wouldn't get caught. also, the year politicians showed that it's a crime to let a good crisis go to waste. and still to come on the weekly live for moscow with may kevin o' in britain's new coven cases. then top, under $60000.00, on year's day capping off a week in which it was claimed, vulnerable children's lives were being put at risk by the overstretched health service world that after this break ah ah, ah,

well, oh, a ah ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation . let it be an arms race is on offensive, very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time to sit down and talk.

ah again, afghan drone operators working for the u. s. were kept in the dark about civilian deaths that through whistleblower who spoken to r t a but his job during the us war on terror. he's currently in hiding from the taliban in fear for his own life. and even refuses to contact his family to try and keep them safe. but he shared his story with our teeth unheard voices, project. ladale. we live in a horrible situation, very bad conditions, but honestly, i am fed up with my life that's not about so i'm in hiding alone. underground. yeah, i can't get inside. i'm hopeless. but then i ask myself, do i have the right to live a peaceful life in my own homeland will not let me say strange. i wish i had been born in a different country to meet the decimal that mm

. for pillow top, we had to operate our drones. i was an 8 alice today. and then the same at night and there was a u. s. company and the afghan government assigned an agreement with he said, we were employed by this company. they scam eagle with each month one pilots conducted $1720.00 drone strikes. it could be more than that, but not less with

data throughout the operations, we were not told about any civilian deaths. nobody told us that we had hit the wrong targets. and the statistics on this were out of our control. we didn't have access to this data the ah, ah, because at the point we lost a couple of our pilots in the last days of our work. and after the taliban took over, one was arrested in cobble and the 2nd, when he was visiting his family, some joined pilots were also beaten them and humiliated. and 3 or 4 of our colleagues are missing was a, even the closest relatives don't know where they are. sex age they blinking is

leading the continued diplomatic efforts to ensure a safe passage for any american afghan partner or foreign national wants to lead up against what we're doing. every single minute of every single hour of every single day is working to create a safe passage for all civilians, including the afghan to work for us to the airport to get them on planes and get them out. we worked intensely to evacuate and relocate and work alongside us and our particular risk reprise, of our commitment to them has no deadline of let me put it this way. me and i've lost my own people. know i'm hiding at different places. i can't stay at one place . i can't meet my family. i don't even know how my family is doing now. i can't see them with my colleagues. we can't see or contact each other because we are afraid the taliban are tapping our phones. me

i will. we also we have lost our way. what can we do, and what will they do to us? we are counting our last breast. they might kill us today or tomorrow. i have one son staying with me and when he goes out to buy something to eat, he says he is afraid of being killed or kept. so there is no one to help us in this situation. i live in here and i have to wonder why i was born in this hell, i am a human being. i have the right to free life. us lead mission and i've kind of stand previously held a drone program as a success and said it provided the american back tough. got an army with the capability to operate the system on it. so if you wanna find the most stories on the war on terror enough, going to stand change lives to go to a unheard voices project at r t t o. com. the

britain's daily cove infection rate hit more than a $160000.00 on new year's day with a health care system. a full stretch explained to pandemic, seeing other patients sidelined in their lives being put at risk because of it. parents and campaign is say vulnerable children of being discriminated against to free up bed spray, some highlighters spike and do not receive take orders for children with down syndrome and autism. we spoke to one mom who was asked to sign one of those things for her son when she said, well, doctrine is because in that class on life that you're asking what you should have on all and 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 whether shipping the taste or not. he was in the

room and she was asking him a lot of questions and he a con these days that he understands. and thank luckily for him and and i asked me because he was, i'm 16 anyway. i say are the parents. i know that our 7 children say in one respects, i was glad he was on the 6th day because the others where i was 16 and were asked themselves do not research. the 2 daughters are offered to people who are gravely ill. one sign doctors won't perform c p r to help restart the patients heart. but in the u. k, do not receive state orders are increasingly being offered for teenagers with autism is a condition that affects some 700000 people in britain, teenagers with down syndrome are also affected over the national health services. this, it's not discriminating and says that blanket policies are an appropriate current world begs to differ again where every child and every as our 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 a n n. why are people with adults children l delay while we why on a, on trade and differently with the lack of he must say, given the health care system i deserve. and his social care system, i did that. i get the and i just, it was painted under extreme cab again today with higher up than the and i just isn't as the government needs to pull their finger out. and so yeah, as out and isn't it now? isn't our kids to say, oh, your children are not as valuable as everyone else is children, so they're not going to be put on that. less they list. i'm not as arc isn't,

it will leave you out. the dumbest idea, because there's not a lot of room muscle, fat boy, the story in the week tune indigenous leader, new zealand, accusing australia of using his country as a dumping ground for criminals. the national murray authority chairman, once calmer than to scrap its policies to porting new zealand is when convicted that it is not good enough. that new zealand is becoming a penal colony for australia and, and just deporting your problem a why does not solve the problem of gangs and both australia and new zealand. it is not good enough just to say, well, gonna stick a whole lot of people on applied on a government chart applying and seen them back to new zealand. that is not the spirit of friendship that you would expect between 2 neighbors under restraining law. busy busy if foreign nationals a sentence to more than a year in prison, they automatically lose the right to stay in the country that applies even if they've lived to destroy their entire lives. the last couple of years have seen

hundreds of new zealanders sent back home. while lo, strictly as immigration ministers defended the policies so the government will continue to to expel foreign nationals who commit serious offenses. although matthew to khaki says, in fact, they need to work instead with new zealand to find a better solution. now i also did bed australian citizen, you know, it's easy just to deport the problem away. and australians want exactly what we want. we want safe communities. we do not want to say drugs being sold to our children. we are sick and tired of saying gun violence don't asked rates. one possible solution is a joint task force to address a couple of different things. and even though our police forces, they do share information, dr. and intelligence at the moment, they would be good to see if we could just increase and including and beastie and joint resources. that, that means also having a look at information and intelligence to find out we, these drug supplies networks establishing themselves across se, asia,

even into the pacific and being lead do that job together as well, strongly. and you feel that an expert and as to whether we worked out as far as some of the new stories we reported to you here in our t international. my name's kevin o in for me and the team. thanks for watching this addition of the weekly ly from moscow. ah. as we continue looking at the urine review in the year ahead, bringing in the all star guests from all over the world. we've got a great one today, stacy. it's charles hugh smith of 2 minds that one of the worst ever mass shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy

exploded a little of the real las vegas, where many se elected officials are controlled by casino owners. the dank is shooting revealed wet the l vs pd really is. and now it's part of the stem machine . most of the american public barely remembers that it happens. that just shows you the power of money in las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pandemic hit the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have a mayor who doesn't care. so here's carolyn goodman, offering the lives of the vegas resinous. to re, the control group to the shiny facades conceal a deep indifference to the people. wives could have been saved if they were to take an action. absolutely, keep the registering and keep the slot machines doing business as a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost.

so we're in the mine right now. behind me is some drag lines. and what appears to be empty pits, so they're just digging in. usually people don't get as far as you can see around, there's a massive amount of destruction. it's just heart wrenching so much destruction. and none of this can be fixed. none of this can be repaired, none of it is of any of any good or use to anybody who says radioactive for thousands of years. anything you know, don't care. you get a water sample in thank might. mm. i think fucking, i carefully home. i added a with

careful way. no, there's no animals here so ah, holding my breath. oh my god like ammonia. ah, janet more. okay. mm. mm. a battle of sorts took center stage today into shadow county at issue these $14000.00 acres of land mosaic wants to mind, phosphate here, commissioner is already shut that down, but it's like to support a brain hollandsworth.
