ah ah unrest. sweet cause i've done over storing fuel prices with riots that think police cars on fire and the state of emergency declared it from areas. european countries divided over and new proposal to label nuclear green forms of energy with the new german government fleming. the plan is green washing on no storm, the grounding flights in america with stuff shorter just you to cope. it also being played with . welcome to our internationally just gone 3 and here in moscow. my name is peter scott here bringing you the latest world news. now we start this hour in kazakhstan,

where there's been unrest over soaring energy costs. after numerous arrests and chaotic scenes, this president of the central asian country has announced a state of emergency in some areas. according to report clashes between white police, we were heavily deployed on scores have demonstrated escalated with smoke grenades being thrown and security vehicles, torture. ah, it's not the 1st day it's been going over some 3 days now since this price cap on liquefied petroleum gas was lifted by the government that cause fuel prices to soar . and as we've seen, people lined the streets in their hundreds, it did start off in the cities in urbanized areas such as our marty,

the largest city in kazakhstan and north done because the capital formerly known as asked the now. but it has also been 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 by 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 taking this lying down, they've come out. they say in their hundreds to protest this. they've been torching police cars. they have tried to get in to the 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 that 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 dear 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 fall out for 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 longest hours, i just said there's also a few in our, marty from 11 at night to 7 in the morning there 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. unsticking with the theme of energy. brussels is facing a backlash from major you nations. that's after we proposed we categorizing nuclear natural gas is green energy. the new german government economy minister brunner the proposal a form of green washing. that's off the 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 states split over how energy from nuclear and gas sources should be classed in the future. the new wants to categorize investments in some of these projects as being green, but others argue this is essentially green washing. labeling, nuclear energy as sustainable is wrong. this is a high risk technology. it is questionable whether this green washing 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 investment 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 labeled for 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 lac gotten that nuclear is the way forward. he's announced a 1000000000 euro investment, expanding the industry for gallant yolanda in order to guarantee frances 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. i'll be has the support from some austin block nations with slovak, his prime minister agreeing that climate neutrality just can't be met without nuclear energy. but austria 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 stand from the czech

republic. berlin has just all the clues of half of germany's remaining nuclear power plants as part of a plan to withdraw completely from the technology that 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. prices in german neil was twice as high as they could be. there is an energy crisis

that the price 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 petition, run our country a lot, focused on the interest of jim and industry in german customers. but that's the holo ideological agenda and de fuller to your 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 got us directly from russia to germany. however,

with intention 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 r t para staying in the you. the 2nd section of the under the pipeline lincoln, russia to germany, has been filled with gas. mean in the channel is now ready for exports, but the certificate asian is taking longer than expected. our senior correspondence broadcast, dia looks at all the for the surrounding. no 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 he doesn't 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 will be

a crucial part of the energy mix in europe for a long time. new projects like nurturing to are 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 projects where a lot of european companies take part and 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 break. so a catastrophe. everyone just had to have a say, germany is a captive versus a supply to get rid of the colon, carolyn, hopefully they get a so much of the oil. yes. from russia. i think it's something that neil has to look at. the other thing is neither nato, no, the us had much of

a problem with the 1st pipeline 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 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, and 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 signal seems like that one statement helps and natural gas prices 10 percent higher. and europe, which of course european families and households and businesses a going to have to pay, but at least the government saves face. and the mean tom, 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. it's causing chaos for flights. with

around 5000 cancelled over the past weekend alone, leaving hundreds of thousands of would be travellers unable to fly. the conditions also forced federal offices in the us capital to close on monday. that's is the latest forecast of predicting to 8 inches of snow in the region with airlines haven't just seen grounding flights of inclement weather. the biden seems been trying to reach a cove. it's shot targets of 2 thirds among american workers and moved this being resisted by senior governments figures the u. s. has registered over 1000000 new covey cases in the past day alone. and nazis kelly more been takes a closer look at jo biden's efforts to tackle 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 dash should not remain as president of the united states of america. when those words were said, the coven death toll was around $220000.00 will sense. then coven 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's 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 of shaking the country. ah.

even reading what we're doing here today and that is right. yeah. ah, we with, 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 work for kaiser for 5, and when the pandemic happens i, 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 cove it 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, the politicians said they're going to deliver. they 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 a patrol your streets and keep you safe. it's going to be a very organic living, breathing problem that isn't 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, kayla martin. r. t new york. and just a quick reminder after that package, the w h o in the mainstream medical bodies say that vaccination is the best way to stay safe. ah, now it's been a happy new year so far for the embattled former governor of new york. andrew cuomo to charge of against him had been dropped those of coverage covey deaths in nursing homes and inappropriately grouping an aide. the announcement from the manhattan district attorney's office spots outrage the new man had, and 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 dar won't press charges against

disgraced former governor cuomo over his coven nursing home scandal is yet another politically motivated decision. by left, when prosecutors, cuomo has blood on his hands, his victims and their families deserve justice. while in office, andrew cuomo was accused of letting people into care homes without testing during the early stages of the pandemic, is also being accused of under counting care home covered deaths by 50 percent. promo himself has constantly denied wrong doing. but who hears? 3328, died in the hospital, died in a nursing home. they died the obligations on the nursing home to say, i can't take a coven positive person. i'm too crowded. i'm too busy. i don't have enough p p. 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, 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. coma resigned in august after a decade in office amid public pressure over harassment allegations. and as was just mentioned, he was charged with inappropriately groping and assistance. but some hours ago, a district attorney concluded that although the accuser is credible, there was not enough evidence to bring the case to court. earlier we spoke with lionel immediate legal analysts, who reflected on the governor's handling of the crisis and what the future may hold for him. 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 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 gonna be a battle of the, of the lawyers ah, the covey, the infection rates in the u. k. has that an all time record with 220000 new cases in the past 24 hours alone is expected to pile further pressure more been described as an overloaded health care system. since the arrival of the army con, variance covey related hospital admissions have risen 50 percent, and medical unions have called it a national emergency. although the british prime minister has resisted cause for further restrictions, which has received considerable public support on the chrome is milder than previous variants. so while hospital admissions are rising quickly with over 15000 cupid 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 chrome wave without shutting down our country. once again, the added burden or hospitals in the u. k. comes amid severe staff shortages. the british medical association has wandered throughout the coming year, one in 6 dot to the nurses and likely to be out of action due to cove it and unions of cold on the government to urgently res, salaries or face industrial action. now the national health care service says the pandemic has created unprecedented pressure, adding is doing all it can to support doctors and nurses. we spoke with senior and each has consultant psychiatry, dr. jess barbara. and he said that medical remain under a huge strain. 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 have

a very ill. it's very exhausting staff if you need any effect through cobra themselves. many of them have been effective because good friends, relatives, colleagues, have died from cloven those delays, a huge amount of stress and anxiety within the system. i think the prime minister on charlie says that everything needs to implies that everything is ready and ready to reach out to mobile. and i would say, well known docs. yes, those be the white shop rice in infections around december going into january. we have. busy record number of admissions in hospital and we will not ever but he's vaccinated. so 60 percent of your patients are at the moment on facts and 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 wanted 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 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 in kosovo and sierra leoni and more significantly, afghanistan, where they stayed for more than 2 decades. over the past 20 years, tony blair's views on the rock has shifted, although he's never express remorse for the invasion. with years of brutality, oppression, and fear, the death and torture kept the barbaric prisoners. mm.

ah, ah, still right. you're losing long since given up trying to persuade people to the right decision. i apologize for the fact that the intelligence we'd received was was wrong. ah, i think they'll do everything they can to avoid debating in parliament. they 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 on 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 cabinet to make this agreement with george bush. and so in that sense, he corrode days and corrupted. the kind of british political process as

well, that sets your bang up to date with the latest from around the world. i'll be back again with another bulletin in just over 30 minutes. thank you for watching. ah christmas. the traditional yuletide on a day 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 oral your parents are properly number. i follow the agenda and make us know woman instead of snow man or even better that this new person designed for themselves. ah,

ah no gifts, no, don't want any best. prepare your children for the brave new world to remember. diversity is not at all i o is no longer an appropriate costume. this is appropriation, zoological appropriation offensive to the dia, community. mm hm. and obviously sandra no has to be cancelled. i because he is a white, his gender male who amuses mrs. close, discriminate 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 chris. you decide. oh, well our officers are facing an increasingly dangerous environment. we are seeing a growing debate about so called warrior cops. the term that i've heard in the militarization of believe this is an amber vehicle. we acquired through the 1033 program, very free program and the government program that follows military property that is no longer use to local law enforcement with building an army over here. and i can't believe people. i see the agency on a terrace any it again, a feeling that ahead you have to deal with your higher practice who you putting in a uniform cover bands is a powerful.
