lifted by, the government came in on, on new year. no, this has been felt by people all over the country, in particular, people in the west of the country and amongst the region. in particular, closer to central asia, food has to travel supplies, everything this essential for winters has to travel. the further the course, those fuel prices felt the most amongst our region. it's important to know the state of emergency has been cold bed by president chi of as well as in the largest city in conflicts down. of course that gives that great sort of contrast between these 2 places out in the desert needs urban areas happening in health areas. stuff interesting on a very basic level. so what you're seeing is people going to the pumps to fill up their cars. they're seeing the prices double, they have to pay double for what they were paying just before new year. of course and in winter this is going to be
4:03 pm

4:04 pm
dear compatriots, guilty to show prudence and not to come to provocations for me inside and outside to protect you for you on campus calls to attack the military and civilian offices are illegal, the government will not talk about revenue by machine you're going to get of course cars extend is a huge export of gas. it really does rely on that to get those, those. the wheels in motion for trade across the country to bring in money. thanks for that gas. and if people are going through the pumps and seeing these prices double, triple, of course it's no surprise that people have come out into the streets as we've seen . hundreds of people lining up in the cities and marching, calling for the resignation of the government. now we have had reports of in some major cities in what it was formerly known as asked or not noticeable turn the
4:05 pm
capital marty. the internet been disconnected, some popular messenger sites have been block those reports as of yet. and those arrest figures of over a 100 have not been confirmed by the police force as of yet, but it does look like he's, he's protest this unrest doesn't look like quelling soon. johnny, thanks very much for bringing this up to date on. i'd very much a story you will be following very closely. thank you. can lots more to get into to day. starting with this. brussels is facing a backlash from major you nations after propose re categorizing nuclear and natural gas as green energy. the new german government's economy minister brown the proposal a form of green washing. now says energy prices in germany have risen dramatically over the last 3 months. charlie to been skate can tell us more. a new year and
4:06 pm
a new spat is brewing between new members. bickering has a rapid with state, split over how energy from nuclear and gas susan should be classed in the future. the you won't to categorize investments in some of these projects as being green, but others argue this is essentially green washing label in nuclear energy as sustainable is wrong. this is a high risk technology. it is questionable whether these greenwashing will find acceptance on the financial market at all. that we think nuclear technology is dangerous. we still think the waste issue is resolved. we expressly reject the assessment on nuclear power. under the commissions proposal investment, the new nuclear energy facilities should be classified as a group if they meet certain technical standards. now that lead to accusations that the commission is he destroying the credibility of the european eco label for
4:07 pm
financial investment with germany leading the charge of nations against these proposals. that could put it in direct collision. of course, with the blocks of the heavy weight that is france, 70 percent of energy here is generated from nuclear power. so, convinces president mach on nuclear is a way forward. he's a 1000000000 euro investment expanding the industry will go home in order to guarantee fence his energy independence to ensure our country's electricity supply and to achieve our objectives in particular carbon neutrality. in 2050 we will, for the 1st time in decades, will realize the construction of nuclear reactors in our country and continued to develop renewable energies on the house. the support from some eastern block nations with slovak is prime minister agreeing that climate neutrality just called
4:08 pm
met without nuclear energy. but australia is furious over the plan, saying it will take the commission to court if it moves ahead with them. will examine the present draft carefully and have already commissioned illegal opinion on nuclear power in the taxonomy in these plans are implemented in this way. we will sue because atomic power is dangerous and not a solution in the fight against the climate crisis. meanwhile, germany is also coming and the pressure over its anti nuclear stance from the czech republic. berlin has just all the clues of haul from germany's remaining nuclear power plants, as part of a plan to withdraw completely from the technology. prague describes that as being a radical step. our government will have to work patiently and hard look for allies in europe and convince partners. finally, it also has to move forward with the construction of nuclear units and to encourage investment in other reasonable renewable sources. that is the way out of the energy
4:09 pm
crisis. the alternative is under development and poverty. and nobody wants that. all of this comes as europe is in the midst of an energy crisis, with some experts suggesting that the crunch will last roy away until 2023. that move by germany including nuclear react is also could push up prices even further. and as prices in german neil was twice as high as the could be. there is an energy crisis that the prices of the rising. rising cost means that the industry need more energy and that heating your home becomes expensive. we need cheap, stable energy to politician that run our country a lot focused on the interest of jim and industry in german customers. but that's the holo ideological agenda, and they pull it to audiological agenda. the 1st is that they think they don't need
4:10 pm
gas because they want to do everything with the nubile update. it's a kind of magic. they believe that they can do that again. as the 2nd ideological agenda, they follow that there are hard core info, russian. one solution to that coin, this could be the approval of the nord stream to pipeline that would supply us directly from russia to germany. however, with tension tie you between the you and moscow, the green light for that project is far from so i've been leaving the e. u. scrambling to find the money to pay increasing energy bills, while members remain bitterly divided over the future of energy policy. charlotte, even sky artie. paris? well, speaking of energy, the 2nd section of the undersea pipeline linking russia to germany has been filled
4:11 pm
with the gulf, with the channel, not ready for exports. but the use certification of it is taking longer than anticipated our senior, corresponding broadcast, the looks of all the foster running north stream to 2020. what was the year that the great green dream? that's a rude awakening. we'll 100 percent in a year. this wasn't what your average green party propaganda, booster promised. europe was supposed to go from a dirty oil burning wasteland to a green renewable paradise just like that, which was never going to happen. this isn't hindsight, this was foresight 11 years ago when german business leaders laughed at the very idea. german society doesn't like nuclear energy, and i don't want to comment on this, but i don't understand how you hit your homes. you don't want gas you on developing
4:12 pm
nuclear energy, what are you going to do? burn firewood. you don't have even that he does a good a siberia to get firewood, which drilling jokes aside. magnetic minds knew that the transition to a carbon neutral society would, would take decades, and it wouldn't be easy. they built newer, clean power plants and new pipelines. natural gas will be a crucial part of the energy mix in europe for a long time. new projects are nurturing to a needed to ensure that europe's to month energy is met to reach in on them and the land this project, regardless of how you feel about the gas pipeline or a back, russia is legally approved and constitutionally approved, project must be implemented in germany and then, and what's not stream to is not the project of putin. rather, it is a projects where a lot of european companies take part that should serve to assure the gas security of europe, lord stream to has been without
4:13 pm
a doubt. the most politicized energy project and recent history. they called it an opportunity, a trap, a break through a catastrophe. everyone just had to have a say, germany is a captive over here to say, slide to get rid of the call to get rid of the nucleus theory. so much of the oil. yes. from russia. i think it's something that nail has to look at. the oddest thing is neither nato, nor the us had much of a problem with a 1st pop life which runs parallel to nord stream too. which right now supplies germany with gas, which is $5.00 to $7.00 times cheaper than market prices. i would anyone have a problem with that? well, aside from the competition, approval of additional liquefied natural gas exports from free portal and g furthers this administration's commitment to promoting american energy, american jobs, and the american economy. i am pleased at the department of energy is doing what it
4:14 pm
can to promote an efficient regulatory system that allows for molecules of u. s. freedom to be exported to the world and is arguably the gist of it. they threatened her sanctioned german companies, a nato ally, which didn't go down well in berlin. european energy policy is decided in europe, not in the usa. we fundamentally reject external interventions and sanctions with extra territorial effect. much has changed since the pipeline was completed. washington backed away from sanctions and a new government was elected in germany with energy prices at record levels. there were no rush to get gas flowing as things presently stand. this pipeline cannot be approved because it does not fulfil requirements of european energy legislation and questions of security are still open. see it? no steam site. that one statement helps and natural gas prices 10 percent higher. and europe, which of course european families and households and businesses
4:15 pm
a going to have to pay, but at least the government saves face. and the mean dob. net show and european leaders and bureaucrats and prayer and pray together that the energy prices somehow magic themselves back into the realm of affordability. in other headline stories america is buttoning down the hatches as a winter storm pummels parts of the country. it's causing chaos for flights with around 5000, cancelled over the weekend alone, leaving hundreds of thousands of would be travelers on able to fly. the conditions also forced federal offices in the u. s. capital to close monday. thus, as the latest forecasts are predicting up to 8 inches of snow in the region, but ur lines haven't just been grounding flights over the inclement weather. the latest army, kron coven. i break house been having an impact to while back in october, southwest airlines council almost 2000 flights, just days after
4:16 pm
a pilot union sued the courier over a vaccine mandate. le biden team's been trying to reach a covert, shall target among american workers of 2 thirds. a move being resisted by senior government figures. the biden administration has to follow law. they have followed constitution, their implementers of the law. they can't just make it up. and in this case, they're forcing american workers to decide between their health and their job, and they just can't do it. it's just wrong. lee, u. s. has registered over a 1000000 new cobit cases in the past day alone, and killed my pins being taken a closer look at joe biden's efforts to battle the pandemic. many will remember joe biden's harsh words to donald trump during the presidential debate last year. and he won his response from that many dish should not remain as president of the united states of america. when those words were said, the coven death toll was around 220000 will sense,
4:17 pm
then covert death numbers have risen to about 800000. the united states just set a record high for corona virus infections. remember, when biden said that he would quickly and easily solve this problem, how is he doing now back in may, joe biden set his goal to partially vaccinate 70 percent of the population by july . well, fast forward and that 70 percent has still not been vaccinated. what vaccine mandates have achieved is to further polarize the country. a large number of professionals in vital industries have lost their jobs. protests have shaken the country. ah, human reading me what we're doing here today, and that is writing out i. e,
4:18 pm
with a large number of medical workers have been suspended. is kind of surreal, honestly, because i love my job, and i have been a coven nurse for since the beginning of the pandemic. i've been a nurse for 10 years. i worked for kaiser for 5, and when the pandemic happened we, we were scared in the beginning, like everybody by it is this amazing time to where we have really brave people. i work with amazing doctors and nurses who showed up to work every day. and just rolled up their sleeves and faced their fears and walked into these rooms. not knowing if they were going to get co later bring it home to their families. more
4:19 pm
than 2000 flights got canceled by american airlines due to a pilot shortage. law enforcement has also been hit my reductions. it's not the issue that the public wanted or the, the politicians said they're going to deliver a want this black and white issue. it's a gray area between you're going to have this big gap between qualified police officers who are trained your season. new cops coming in the, the quality of new cops coming in is going to be held to a lower standard. so you're not going to get the best candidates, so do up patrol your streets and keep you safe. it's going to be a very organic living, breathing problem that isna as no solution in sight. with so many things going wrong, jo biden's approval ratings are now in free fall. the japs haven't slowed down either. in fact, more people have died of covered so far in 2021. then in 2020. so this year biden's 2 main plans. rebuild the people's trust and better fight. coven have failed to come. true. fail mauppin r t new york. and just a reminder,
4:20 pm
the w h o other mainstream medical body say the vaccination is the best way to stay safe. ah, it's a happy new year so far for the embattled former governor of new york. andrew cuomo to charges against them of being dropped. those of covering up co debts in nursing homes on the other inappropriately grouping and 8 thought announcement from the manhattan district attorney's office sparked out ridge the new manhattan da as excusing our former corrupt governor of several charges. he was facing regarding nursing homes and sexual assault. there are still investigations underway with f, b i. d o j, eastern district and act. but there's no doubt they're making deals with the devil . today's news that the manhattan door won't press charges against disgraced former governor cuomo over his coven nursing home scandal is yet another politically
4:21 pm
motivated decision by left wing prosecutors. cuomo has blood on his hands, his victims and their families deserve justice. just a little bit of background then to this, while an office under coma was accused of letting people into care homes with our testing during the early stages of the pandemic. he's also been accused of under counting cur, home covert that's by some 50 percent. quote himself has consistently denied wrong doing but who key years? 3328 died in a hospital, died in a nursing home. they died the obligations on the nursing home to say, i can't take a covered positive person. i'm too crowded, i'm too busy. i don't have enough p p e, whatever the answer is, doesn't matter is if they say i can't take the person, they can't take the person. when we didn't provide information, it allowed press people, cynics, politicians,
4:22 pm
to fill the void. i just want to be sure people know these are the facts. these are the facts. everything that could have been done was done for me or resigned in august after a decade, an office and made public pressure over harassment allegations was mentioned, he was charged with inappropriately. groping an assistant, but earlier today, a district attorney concluded that although the accuser is credible, was not enough evidence to bring the case to court. earlier, we spoke with line off media on legal unless from new york reflected on the ex governor's crisis humbling. and his future done finished toast. there was another issue during the course of this when he was absolutely the will be. he was basically abandoning his position. he writes a book on leadership about how he handled this coven nightmare. during this
4:23 pm
crisis, it would be manifestly unfair, manifestly incorrect to hold him to, to pay, to painstaking levels of accuracy when the entire world was falling apart by virtue of this pandemic, he would allege that in retrospect, yes, this was incorrect. it's, it's not, at least at this point tangible enough direct enough. there's not enough of a approximate cause for him to be held liable. but there is also civil ramifications. and there were people expert who will come forward and said, the last thing that you do, no matter what is to take people who are covered positive and to put them into these. basically these, these homes of the most are vulnerable with co morbidities in age. i mean, if that's not criminal negligence, nothing is so is going to be
4:24 pm
a battle of the, of the lawyers. ah, okay, let's give you a sign of what's happening across they'd lunch from there. the coven infection, written u. k. it's had an all time record 220000 new cases in the past 24 hours. that's expected the pilot further pressure and what's been described as an overloaded health care system. since the arrival of the army, cranberry and coven related hospital admissions, they've written 50 percent. medical unions have called it a national emergency law. the british prime minister has resistant calls for further restrictions are locked on on the chrome is milder than previous variance. so well, hospital admissions are rising quickly with 15000 patients now hospital in england alone. this is not yet, thankfully translating into the same numbers needing intensive care that we saw in previous waves. we have a chance to write out this on the con wave without shutting down our country. once
4:25 pm
again. bar s. johnson, well, the added burden on hospitals in the u. k. comes amid stop shortages. the british medical association, as we're not through the coming year one and 6 doctors and nurses are likely to be out of action to at, to cover our calling in sick unions hub at cold on the government to urgency. res salaries are face industrial action. the national health services, the democrats calls on presses, pressure rubbing. it's doing all that it can to support doctors and nurses. i spoke with senior and a chest consultant, psychiatrist, dr. j. s. bummer! he said medics. they remain under a huge string. the chess front line workers are the front line rotors i should say, have put in a huge shift to be a shift of looking after patients, many of whom are very, very ill. it's very sourcing stuff. if you need any effect to cope with themselves,
4:26 pm
many of them have been effective because good friends, relatives, colleagues, have died from clover. those delays, a huge amount of stress and anxiety within the system. i think the prime minister on charlotte, please says that everything needs to implies that everything is ready and ready to return to normal. and i would say well no, not yet. those be the white. ringback rice in infections around december going into january then we. busy have record number of admissions in hospital and we will not enter that he's vaccinated. so 60 percent of your patients are at the moment on fax, in a to 90 percent. haven't had a 2 step 3, g staying in the u. k. but the story that's getting a lot of people talking there as well, at more than 600000 people live, signed a petition against the knighthood awarded to tony blair. you can see it, there. are the numbers going up?
4:27 pm
they want to resend it mainly over the former prime minister's role in the 2003 invasion of iraq. tony blair was personally responsible for causing the death of countless innocent civilian lives and service men in various conflicts. for this alone, he should be held accountable for war crimes. we petition the prime minister to petition her majesty to have this honor a mouth. despite being a hugely successful politician willing 3 consecutive elections in britain blurs legacy has been over. collided by his support for us, lead interventions, aside from iraqi also send british troops into constable in sierra leone, and more significantly of dennis than where they stayed for 2 decades. where the past 20 years tony blair's views on a rock of shift is a low, he's never express remorse for the invasion. that the years of brutality, oppression, and fear, but death and torch account, the barbaric prisoners i would still have thought it right to remove that. i've long since given up trying to persuade people to the right decision. i apologize
4:28 pm
for the fact that the intelligence we received was was wrong. i think they'll do everything they can to avoid debating in parliament. it certainly should be because this is a terrible decision that clearly flies in the face of what the vast majority of people in this country believe and think. i mean, the polls show the majority of people in britain and actually in the united states, believe that the war was a terrible mistake and it was the worst foreign policy mistake the britain is made in sterling, in modern history, we're talking about about a 1000000 people dying in iraq, we're talking about huge numbers of people having to flee their homes. we're talking about a rack becoming a failed state. the whole region actually thrown into thrown into disarray and chaos as a result of, of, of the invasion. so it was an absolutely catastrophic decision,
4:29 pm
and the vast majority of people know that it was wrong. and it's not only that he took this decision age that he lied to the british people. he lied to parliament. he went behind the back even of the cabinets and make disagreement with george bush . and so in not sense, he corrode days and corrupted. the kind of british political process as well. why are more and more women choosing all of the world's most dangerous prisoners? possibly because female body guards are valued in some unexpected ways by clients or short door explorers, right in my feathers. financials. why the guy? i don't. why? hey, i buy a futures. this was at the friday at the last time i buy it from the future. so
4:30 pm
franco watched kaiser report in with a small and i'm going to be coming back, sam again, i will post more time at a pen. yeah. well, when we're ready to go, i've made mostly afraid for them to begin with . okay, good. i fully agree to the.
