ah, ah, police dogs, a bottoms are deployed against anti locked and demonstrators and amsterdam, the city's mayor gave the order to break up the 1000 strong, illegal rally. and in some of the big stories the week just gone, germany shuts down half of its nuclear power plant, while belgium says it's set to close all of its reactors to within the next 3 years . as the transition to green energy gathers pace, bus civilian deaths and destroyed homes, an african whistleblower lifts the lid on america's drone program. the former operator currently in hiding for the taliban talks to ortiz unheard voices project . throughout our operations, we were not told about any civilian deaths. nobody told us that we had hit the wrong target. i'm in hiding alone for the way underground. i live in fear. mm.

speaking honestly, i am fed up with my lines that are with hello the latest development sort of look back to what's been happening over the last 7 days that you're watching the weekly here in out international live from moscow with me, kevin, now in the south and the 1st story that's been happening earlier on today, anti locked down, demonstrated clashing with right police in amsterdam, police dogs and battens. we used to break up the legal protest. ah

1000 people as you saw their rallying in the dutch capital on sunday, defying a band. amidst the corona virus lockdown measures that have been in place in the netherlands for the last few weeks. now, the right places you saw there with their battens and their shields were trying to break up. the crowds who had gathered in amsterdam to show. ringback their continued anger against the restrictions that are in place and also against vaccines. the local government, which had a mood this particular gathering had also issued an emergency ordinance which gave the police the right to head into the central museum square. and to clear those protesters from that, but to despite that protest is turned out regardless. now the netherlands has been doing this extended lockdown hour since december 19th. and as a result of that, restaurants, a shot and all known of central shops are also shut. 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 can 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 as the police and those protest as were clashing something we have seen elsewhere to know across europe. there is, is concerned that guess we're heading in to 2022. it's you. many people will me think this is the time for fresh opportunities of 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 on long distance trains and also

a requirement now for children as young as 6 to wear a mask i, when necessary. previously it was only applied to children over the age of 11. so that's a big shift here, and in some times, in cities, across france, there has been the regulation, once again to have to wear masks outdoors, that something that is back in force here in paris. meanwhile, those who remain unvaccinated, there is some really bad news. the national assembly is going to continue debating this week a new law that would essentially curb the liberties of those who remain unvaccinated further at the moment, anyone who is not fully vaccinated, that 3 vaccines, the 2 vaccines plus the booster am, can going to restaurant and cafes, et cetera, if they show that they've got a negative p, c r on teaching task. but that's something that they can only hold for 24 hours and they have to pay for it. now the macro 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 bars, 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 bound on fireworks on the shells, alisa and cool muted festivities. but in, despite that they were crowded. the fewest on to the shoals elisa, 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 vehicles were burned on new year's eve as 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 positive cases that have been quoted across the european region. however, to give you some light to this, this does come at a time when studies suggesting that only crime is less likely to damage from lungs than previous variance, such as the delta variant or even the alpha beat of variance. and that it also

provokes a less severe and type of disease. so good news, but at the same time, with all boost 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. got a big news from the way germany shut down half of its remaining nuclear power stations, or new year's eve as part of its shift to more eco friendly energy. it leaves the country now with only 3 nuclear plants, which are also planned to go offline by the end of this year. but the decisions been heavily criticized as a significant portion of job. no tricity does come from nuclear sources. the country will now have to dramatically ramp up production from sustainable sources. and in the meantime, increases relying on coal. again, opinions were divided among germans. we spoke to who lives near one of the power plants that was closed. as atlanta was 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 still. 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 or bad 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. if you drive through the village, you'll see how much was invested in it, 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. many locals work there and we have to see where they will end up. but some people definitely lose their jobs. are you, germany is not alone of phasing out nuclear power belgium to is 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 have already slammed the decision is counterproductive. 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 that sold record prices last month. we talked about it with journalist charlie boyle, who believes the pace at which green policies are being introduced to the moment, more about political game. it's all about lack of planning and seeing cool point score and politicians may well those beliefs. but as usual, the practicalities always take now the reality is thinking in high inflation, a huge demand surge going in the winter. we, we simply can't have a situation where energy prices are going out. 1200 percent here. we need to have

a proper platform around the world, but i think it is from transmission to renewables. what the mixture is going to be and we're going to need to be honest about me. so don't worry which are completely gone. so while your switches to green energy, how cells that have been left grappling with a high cost of living and western politicians have seized the moment to blame russia, claiming its behind the spy can fuel prices, se, container reports. how did it happen though? 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 the you accuse, stay toned energy giant gas problem of being cd and then furious. the moscow

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 bottle, rushes on it all, it's 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 own 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 nord 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 that you're not actually that bothered 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 as 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 het this is a historic inflation report. inflation has it a 31 year high with price is 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 year though it's pretty windy outside, it's very windy. i almost felt coming up with myself. i didn't was determined to prove those hate has 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. and 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 the compromising innocent good guy. and all this he did make one little dredge announcing that the largest ever release from the u. s. strategic petroleum reserve tell, provide a supply we need as we recover from this pandemic, guess how many barrels of oil a day the us consumes around 20000000. how many barrels did buy to release $50000000.00? 2 and a half days was not exactly a big win, but 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 the oils and louisiana and texas and the dip sticks and wash and they say 2021, the people prayed that lights wouldn't get caught. oh, so the year politicians showed that it's a crime to let a good crisis go to waste 15 past 11, moscow time, the savings still come on the weekly live for moscow with the kevin. now we britton's the code. that case is tough to $160000.00 on the is day capping off a week in which it was claimed, vulnerable children's lives were being put at risk by the overstretched health service. ah ah ah

ah mm. oh, driven by drink shaped bankers and those with airs sinks we dare to ask

ah, my good enough control operators working for the us were kept in the dark about civilian death that from a whistle blow spoken to r t a. but his job during the us war on terror, he's currently hiding from the taliban in fear for his life. and he refuses to contact his family to try to keep them safe. but he shared his story with our teeth . unheard voices, project. layout. we live in a horrible situation. very bad conditions. i honestly, i am fed up with my life that's out of it. so i'm in hiding alone. underground. yeah, i can't go outside. i'm hopeless. when i ask myself, do i have the right to live a peaceful life in my own homeland will not let me say straight and i wish i had been born in a different country to me and 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 was signed an agreement with you. so we were employed by this company. the scam eagle with each month one pilot conducted $1720.00 drone strikes. it could be more than that, but not less with

data throughout operations, we were not told about any civilian deaths. nobody told us that we had hit the wrong target to that, and the statistics on this were out of our control. we didn't have access to this data the ah, ah, at the port we lost a couple of our pilots in the last days of our work. after the taliban took over home and one was arrested in cobble. and the 2nd, when he was visiting his family, some drone pilots were also beaten 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 stay blinking. is leading the continued diplomatic efforts to ensure

a safe passage for any american afghan partner or foreign national wants to lead up . again, this is what we're doing. every single minute of every single hour of every single day. it's working to create a safe passage for all civilians, including the afghans who worked 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 in our particular risk. reprise up, our commitment to them has no deadline of let me put it this way. yes, i've lost my own people. know i'm hiding at different places. i can't stay in 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 guess 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. the u. s. lead mission and afghanistan, previously hailed drone program was a success and said it provided the american back tough. gonna be with the capability to operate the system on it. so if you wanna find out more about these kind of stories and how the war on terror, enough kind of stand change lives to go to an heard voices projected r t dot com. britain's daily covet

infection, right? it's more the 160000 on new year's day. i'm with the health care system, a full stretch its claim to pandemic, and seeing other patients sideline, and their lives put at risk parents. and campaigners say vulnerable children are being discriminated against a free a bed sprays space and highlight a spike and do not resuscitate orders for children with down syndrome and autism. we spoke to one mother who was asked to sign one of those things for her son when she said it, i, well down in tears. and because in i and s my son's life that you're asking with each site or now and, 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 and he's been class days and that he understands. and thank luckily for him and and they asked me because he was, i'm 16 anyway. but they are the parents. i know there are 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 did overstate orders are offered to people who gravely ill on sign. doctors will perform c p r to help restart the patients hobbs, but in the u. k, do not receive aid orders are increasingly being offered for teenagers with autism . it's a condition that folks around 700000 people in britain, teenagers with down syndrome 2 are also affected. however, the national health system assists it's not discriminating and says that blanket policies are inappropriate. kara bullard begs to differ where every child and every adult is 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 b a n. and 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 system, i did that, i get the and i just, it was painter under strain and cab again today with higher up than the and i just isn't as the government in the state to their finger out. and so, yeah, as alan isn't, it 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 than list i was arc isn't it will leave you out. the dumbest idea, because there's not a lot of room myself and indigenous leader in new

zealand accusing australia of using his country as a dumping ground for criminals. then i shall marry authority. chem won't calmer than to scrap it's policy of deporting new zealanders where they have been convicted. and it is not good enough that new zealand is becoming a penal colony for australia and, and just reporting 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 and applied on a government child applying and seen them back to new zealand. that is not the spirit of friendship that you would expect between 2 neighbors. under astray leon law, a 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 in the store in their their entire lives. while the last couple of years have seen hundreds of new zealanders sent back home,

australia, immigration ministers defended the policy so the government will continue to to expel foreign nationals who commit serious offenses. although matthew to khaki says, in fact, it will be better if they worked with new zealand to find more appropriate solutions . now, i wish i did that australian citizens. you know, it's easy just to pull 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 on our streets. one possible solution is a joint task force to address a couple of different things. and even though our police forces by do share information dash, or an intelligence at the moment, that would be good to see if we could just increase and including and beastie and joint resources. that means also having a look at information and intelligence to find out where these drug supply networks are establishing themselves across se asia, even into the pacific being,

let's do that job together as australia and new zealand, and that an expert. and that's the way the week works out as far as some the new stories are reported to you, his mouth international. my name is kevin, thanks ever so much for watching our channel. it's been the weekly life from moscow . mm. ah ah. ah christmas. the traditional yuletide holiday this year, making this traditional with a special christmas guide. me christmas tolerance diversity guide. we all know that christmas is a family holiday. that makes all your parents are properly numbered.

i follow the agenda that make us know woman hands. denise. no man, or even better. that the super and decide for themselves. oh, now gifts. no, don't want any beth. prepare your children for the brave new world. but remember, diversity is not at all i o is no longer an appropriate costume. this is appropriation, zoological appropriation offensive to the dear community. mm hm. and obviously, sandra. oh, has to be cancelled. i because he is a white, his gender male who amuses mrs. claus discriminates against children based on

behavior. whereas red, which is a communist color, makes children sit on his lap, makes people destroy trees and exploit sales. so sorry kids center is not coming to town anymore. i follow these instructions. stick to the spirit of christmas. you decide. i i well ah, no one is starting at the age of 14 and battled for the next 5 years. his addiction
