[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, unrest we've because i've done over storing fuel prices with riotous, think police cars on fire, and the state of emergency declared in some areas. european countries divided over the new proposal to label euclid unjust forms of energy with the new german government plumbing. the plan as green washing tongue no storms of grounding flights in america with short just need to cope with also be in play with trouble with

. welcome to our international. it's just going to i am here in moscow. my name is peter scott head bringing the latest world news. we start this hour with kazakhstan where there's been unrest over soaring energy costs. and mid, numerous arrests and chaotic scenes. the cassock president has just announced a state of emergency in some areas. security forces deployed to defend government buildings, reportedly health smoke grenades, to quell the demonstration. and video footage shows police vehicles being vandalized ah, with it's not the 1st day it's been going on for some 3 days now since this price cap on

liquefied petroleum gas was lifted by the government that cause fuel prices to saw . and as we've seen, people lined the street in their hundreds, it did start off in the cities in urbanized areas such as are marty, the largest city in catholic, stan and north fulton because the capitol formerly known as asked and what it is also being felt in the west of the country, the places in out in a desert, close to central asia, a place called the longest thou region. of course there was some backtrack bye to the government. they did say they were going to re impose a limit, but that's kind of done nothing to bring any sort of calm with the people they've taken. not taken this lying down, they've come out as i say, in their hundreds to protest this. they've been torching police because they have tried to get in to government buildings as well in our marty president. so kind of has told those getting involved that they should not get caught up in these

protests in this unrest. he said attacking the military is illegal. and as we already heard, the government did back track a little when they took that price cap of they did re and impose some limits for it hasn't done anything to kind of quell that unrest. we can hear what president kind of says in his address to the nation right now, that i guess i just and you do your compatriots. i appeal to you to show prudence and not to come to provocations from the inside and outside to protest, euphoria and chaos. calls to attack the military and civilian offices are illegal. the government will not follow what was revenue by mission. now we've had media reports of over 100 arrest over the country in places like marty that has been a state of emergency. and of course, in the reason of running a style is i just said there's also a few in our,

marty from 11 at night to 7 in the morning has been things like transport has been curved so people won't be able to get out and get in to our massive course for the foreseeable future. and sticking with the theme of energy, brussels is facing a backlash from major you nations, us after proposed re categorizing nuclear, unnatural. gus, as green energy, the new german government economy ministry blunder, the proposal a form of green washing that says energy prices in germany have risen dramatically over the last 3 months. shall davinsky takes up the story a new year and a new spot is brewing between new members. bickering has erupted with state split over how energy from nuclear and gas source. it should be classed in the future. the e u wants 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 a waste issue. as a result, we expressly reject the assessment on nuclear power under the commissions proposal investments in new nuclear energy facilities should be classified as a group if they meet certain technical standards. now that's led to accusations that the commission is he destroying the credibility of the european eco label, financial investments with germany leading the charge of nations against these proposals. that could put it in direct collision, of course, with the blocks or that heavy weight. that is france, 70 percent of energy here is generated from nuclear power. so convinced is

president black on that nuclear is the way forward. he's announced a 1000000000 euro investment, expanding the industry for gallant yolanda, in order to guarantee france is 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 really launch the construction of nuclear reactors in our country and continue to develop renewable energies. how he has the support from some austin block nations with slovak, his prime minister agreeing that climate neutrality just can't be without nuclear energy. but australia is furious over the plan, saying it will take the commission to court. if it moves ahead with them, we will examine the present draft carefully and have already commissioned a legal 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 under 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. not 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 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 expert suggesting that the crunch will last roy the way until 2023 moved

by germany and closing 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 german industry in german customers. but that's the hollow, ideological agenda and date for her to logical agenda. the 1st thing they don't need get because they want to do everything with the nubile. 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 intro, rushing 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 certain, 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 and things in the you. the 2nd section of the and the see pipeline linking russia to germany has been filled with gusts with a channel now ready for exports. with a new certificate asian is taken longer than anticipated, or senior correspondent broad because dia looks at the 1st surrounding north stream to 2020. what was the year that the great green dream? that's a rude awakening. we all felt it in our bills, but no. where like europe,

power gas prices are up for 500 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 nuclear energy, what are you going to do? burn firewood. you don't have even that you'd have to go to siberia to get firewood, drilling, jokes aside. magnetic mines 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 would be a crucial part of the energy mix in europe for a long time. new projects like nurturing to a needed to ensure that europe's mon furniture is met to reach in on them eyeing 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 into any way then, and what's not stream to is not the projects of putin. rather, it is a project where a lot of european companies take part in it should serve to assure the gas security of europe nord stream to has been without a doubt, the most politicized energy project and recent history. they called it an opportunity, a try, a breakthrough, a catastrophe. everyone just had to have a say, shirley is a captive over his positions. like to get rid of the colon kia, the nuclear. they get

a so much of the oil. yes. from russia. i think it's something that nail has to look at. the other thing is neither nato know the us had much of a problem with the 1st pop lie 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 process. i would anyone have a problem with that? well, aside from the competition, approval of additional liquefied natural gas exports from free port, ellen g furthers this administration's commitment to promoting american energy, american jobs, and the american economy. i am pleased that the department of energy is doing what it 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 to 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 fulfill requirements of european energy legislation and questions of security or stop and see it seems like that one statement helps and natural gas prices 10 percent higher. and europe, which of course european families and households and businesses are going to have to pay, but at least the government saves face. and the meantime, let's join european leaders and bureaucrats and prayer, and pray together that the energy prices somehow magic themselves back into the

realm of affordability. america is buttoning down the hutches as a winter storm. pummels parts of the country is causing chaos for flights with around $5000.00 cancelled of the weekend alone, leaving hundreds of thousands of would be travelers on able to fly. the conditions also forced federal officers in the u. s. capital to close on monday. that's is the latest for gas protecting all to 8 inches of snow in the region with airlines haven't just been grounding flights of the inclement weather. the latest on the con cove it outbreak has also been having an impacts. while back in october, southwest airlines cancelled almost 2000 flights. just days after a pilot union sued the carrier over a vaccine mandates. the biden's team has been trying to reach a covey shot targets of 2 thirds among american workers. and that's a move, this being resisted by senior government figures. the biden administration has to follow law. they have follow 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. the u. s. has registered over 1000000 new cove cases in the past day alone. and caleb, more pin, takes it closer look at how joe biden is tackling 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 cova death hall was around $220000.00 will sense, then covert death numbers have risen to about $800000.00. 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 to me, what we're doing here today and that is writing out, ah, we 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 happens we, we were scared in the beginning, like everybody by it is this amazing time to where we have really these people. i work with amazing doctors and nurses who set 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 coven, or bring it home to their families, more than 2000 flights, got canceled by american airlines due to a pilot shortage. law enforcement has also been hit by reductions. it's not the issue that the public wanted or the politicians said they were gonna deliver. they'd 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 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 a patrol your streets and keep you safe. it's going to be a very organic living, breathing problem that has now has no solution in sight with so many things going wrong, jo, biden's approval ratings are now in free fall. the depths 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. caleb, martin, r. t. new york. and just a quick reminder, the w h o into the mainstream medical bodies say that vaccination is the best way to stay safe. ah, no, it's been a happy new year so far for the embattled former governor of new york. andrew cuomo, 2 charges against him, had been dropped. those of coverage covey death in nursing homes and

inappropriately groping an aide. the announcement from the manhattan district attorney's office spots outrage. the new man hadn't 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 cove at nursing home scandal is yet another politically motivated decision by left wing prosecutors. cuomo has blood on his hands, his victims, and their families deserve justice. now while in office, andrew cuomo was accused of letting people into care homes without testing during the early stages. this pandemic is also been accused of under counting ter home

cove deaths by 50 percent. will corporal himself has constantly denied wrong doing but who ears? 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 covert positive person on too crowded, i'm too busy. i don't have enough p p e. whatever the answers doesn't matter is if they say i can't take the person, they can't take the person. when we're in provide information. it allowed press people, cynex, politicians, to fill the void. i just want to be sure people know, these are the facts. these are the facts ah, everything that could have been done was done. como resigned in august after a decade in office amid public pressure over harassment allegations. and as we just mentioned, he was charged with inappropriately groping and assistance. but just some hours ago,

a district attorney concluded that although the accuser was credible, there was not enough evidence to bring the case to court. earlier we spoke with lionel emits immediate legal analyst who reflected on the ex governance handling of the crisis and what the future holds for him. done finished toast. there was another issue during the course of this when he was absolutely the way he was basically abandoning his position. he writes a book on leadership about how he handled this coven nightmare. during this 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 say, 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 a battle of the, of the lawyers on the covert infection rates in the u. k. it's an all time record. with 220000 new cases in the past 24 hours alone. it's expected to pile further. pressure must be described as an overloaded health care system. and since the arrival of the army con variance, coven related,

hostile emissions have risen. 50 percent of medical unions have called it's a national emergency. although the british prime minister has resist the cause of further restrictions, which has received considerable public support on the chrome if milder than previous variance say, well, hospital admissions are rising quickly. we, they, the 15000 patients now, the hospital in england alone, he's 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 again. the other bird at hospitals in the u. k. comes amid severe stuff shortages. the british medical association has worn that throughout the coming year . one in 6 dot to the nurse is likely to be out of action due to cove it and unions of cold on the government to urgently res, salaries, or faith, industrial action,

the national health services, the pandemic has created unprecedented pressure. i think it's doing all it can to support doctors and nurses. and we spoke with senior and he just consultant psychiatrist dot to j. s. barbara and he says medics remain under a huge strain. the chess front line workers are the front line go to, i should say, have put in a huge shift to be a shift of looking after patients, many of whom are very the very ill. it's very sourcing stuff. if you need any effect to cope with themselves, many of them have been effective because good friends, relatives, colleagues, died from clover those days, a huge amount of stress and anxiety within the system. i think the prime minister on challenge lee says that everything needs to imply that everything is ready and ready to retire to mobile. and i would say well no,

not yet. those be the white. ringback rice in infections around december going into january 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 to step on staying with the u. k. more than 600000 people have signed a petition against the knighthood awarded to tony blair. they won't sit rescinded 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 math. and despite being a hugely polish successful politician, winning 3 consecutive elections, bless,

legacy has been overshadowed by his support for us lead interventions, aside from iraq. he also sent british troops into costco and sierra leoni and more significantly, afghanistan, where they stayed for 2 decades. over the past 20 years, tony blair's views on iraq have shifted, although he's never expressed remorse for the invasion. that the years of brutality, oppression, and fear. the death and torture kept the barbaric prisoners i would still have thought it right to remove it is i've long since given up and try to persuade people. it is the right decision. i apologize for the fact that the intelligence we'd received was was wrong.

he's not going to check with apologies there for the problems that we're having with the sound on that last package. but your bank up to date still with the latest from around the world. and i'll be back again with another bulletin, hopefully with fixed sound in just over 30 minutes. ah, ah, join me every thursday on the alex, simon, she'll. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. oh this isn't an often it oh,
