oh ah, violent clashes between protest this and police receive it in the day after the government resigns of a nation wide unrest superior of spiraling fuel costs shows no sign of with the president around my problem results to foul language, to take a swipe at unvaccinated citizen saying that he wants to annoy the inflammatory remarks. come the mit a heated debate on whether to bring in vaccine and charges against former governor of new york, andrew cuomo had been dropped. he was accused of under counting home death and of sexual harrison supposed to be victims though

a furious what kind of society or would over $50000.00 people die horrible. and i think death alone, my father died alone and there's no stand with that very good afternoon. and it's a pleasure to have your company, this is our to international. ok, let's start with news. a protest that have flared up again in kazakhstan reports is saying that demonstrate is of just now broken into the administration building of the country's largest city. marty, which earlier on wednesday, had already seen ted since ah, the classes are happening despite a state of emergency that was imposed on tuesday. hamilton,

30 police cause ambulances and fire engines have been taught in our marty reports coming in to that in the northeast of the country. another city administration is being stormed late last night. the president accepted his government's resignation. he blinds his cabinet for the widespread on rest and has ordered an investigation into possible price. fixing is a snapshot for you. tuesday knox protests ah. the project began with fuel prices started to climb steeply on sunday and responses now in post state regulation. basic foods is also now being controlled centrally, state of emergency has been declared in several regions. interior ministry says

nationwide, almost 200 people have been injured. most of the lease while hundreds of protesters have been detained. danny armstrong picks up the store. 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 fulton course. the capital formerly known as asked now, but it has also been felt in the west of the country at these places it out in a desert close to central asia, a place called the manga style region president took, i 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 off, they did re and impose some limits for it hasn't done anything to kind of quell

that unrest. we can hear what president to 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 protect you for you on chaos, calls to attack, the military and civilian offices are illegal. the government will not talk about phases like our state of emergency. and of course in the reason of my thought was i just said there's also a few in our marty from 11 at night to 7 in the morning. i'd seen 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, the french president says that he wants to irritate the unvaccinated using and explain as well to make the point. his provocative remark comes as the national

assembly heatedly debates banning the young jobs from balls, cafes and cinemas. but opponent surrounded on him for the use of foul language. a president should and say that money on the crown is unworthy of his office. it's an unworthy and irresponsible remark by the president. you shouldn't insult people when you're trying to get them to agree with you. 7000000 french people have to fall for medical care and access to vaccines on them to an astonishing confession from across. it is clear, the vaccine pass is a collective punishment against individual freedom. what an extraordinary couple of days here in france, this is a bill that was supposed to glide through the parliament without a hiccup. it was supposed to be in place by the end of next week, but its passage so far has been anything but easy. first on monday night, the debate was suspended, and that was simply because the majority party,

this is president mack, one's own party, simply couldn't get enough bodies in the chamber for a show of hands to support a motion for the debate to continue into the wee hours of the morning, a hiccup perhaps, and the debates resumed on tuesday, but following that extraordinary intervention by president mack on with an interview that he gave to the french paper looper. crazy and that ricocheted right the way through the parliamentary chamber. people were gaston shocked as you saw there at his words, the fact that he used that swear word when he talked about what he wanted to do to the unvaccinated so much so they demanded that the french prime minister at get straight to the chamber to explain what the president had said and what he meant about this, and hugh, another suspension of that debate. it really is pretty extraordinary here. now those who were pushing ahead with that debate, trying to, to force this bill through for the government, including the health minister,

must be pretty much tearing their hair out right now. because it is not certain at the moment that this bill will now be passed in time for it to come into force. next week. we know that there was fierce opposition already to it from many and peas in the national assembly. and just like covey restrictions over the past, almost 2 years, there is been huge division across the country. those protests that we've seen over the last few years since 2020, over those restrictions have come up time and time again. of people have said to the government, we are not happy with these restrictions as a result of cobit 19. let's take a look at the protests that we've seen so far. ah.

so you might be asking, what is the vaccine passport, and why is it so different to the health passport that's currently in place in france, which was already controversial will at the moment if you're on vaccinated, you can go and get a coven 19 test. if it's negative, which you have to pay for up to $49.00 euros, you can go to hospitality venue such as cafes or bars. you can go to leisure facilities like cinemas and the gym. and you can do that within 24 hours of receiving that negative result. if this bill is pushed through in the parliamentary chambers, it will essentially mean that if you're on vaccinated, all of those things are no longer on the table. you will not be able to go to restaurants, you will not be able to go to bars the cinema. he won't even be able to catch a long distance train. and that's why this has been so controversial just to give

you a sense of where we are in france. the moment around 5000000 people aged over 12 are unvaccinated. at the moment, the majority of the population is vaccinated. but these proposed changes, some of argued, are essentially saying that this is a mandatory vaccination that's coming in by stealth maneuvers without the government taking responsibility for any fall light. as a result of this vaccine in the years, which will come is be mixed reaction here in paris. as you can imagine, these people i'm against the vaccine pass because it will not prevent the virus from spreading them vaccinated should take recommended precautions, social distancing, and hand washing, plus the unvaccinated do not have access to certain public places like cinemas and restaurants. so they are not spreading it to the level that the vaccinated our freedom is restricted and it's affecting everyone. i don't trust the government very much and think it's enough. if people take care and behave responsibly, what was it? gold? sassy kid,

could host them against it. i don't find it all right, that they take us from a health pass to a vaccination pass. this makes us lose our freedom. we are no longer in a country where we can be free. each individual should have a right to do with their body. what they think is right for them in natural immunity works. we were born to develop immunity. yes. and then what i am for it, it's of my opinion that i am protected and i can go where i want and do what i want . talk to so long as i present the pass, so often will be, i don't think vaccine passports are a good idea because it infringes on our freedom. and i think that there is insufficient information to make an informed decision. as a young person, i'm left wondering what to do. i did get vaccinated because the alternative would mean i'd have certain freedoms taken away, but i haven't made my mind up yet about taking a 3rd dose of them, but they broke off it. now, the french government says that this vaccine passport is needed because there is this rapid spread at the moment of covey 19 throughout the country. that's been fueled by the omni covariance. now, just to give you an example,

almost 300000 covert positive cases were recorded in the past 24 hours. that is a new record here in france. and as a result of that, the government says it is still determined to push through with this bill and there will be new debates on wednesday. however, after that extraordinary intervention by president mack on it is pretty much turned many people off. many people who may have been thinking about voting for this bill in the past may now be re thinking about whether that's thing they want to do. and it's not clear at a stage whether they spill can pass through parliament. if it doesn't, that will be a severe embarrassment to the macaroni administration and president mccord himself, who is expected to seek reelection for the presidency in just a couple of months time. and on a personal level, this is also perhaps an embarrassment for the president. this is a man who has been described as being arrogant throughout his 4 and a half year term so far in office. and that's something you dressed recently in an

interview saying that he had learned his lessons about the way he spoke to the french public. clearly from this latest outburst, that is a lesson that has not been learned. journalist alex is to answer the french government desperately trying to find a scapegoat for his own failures in the pandemic. june 15. good to say. there is a great deal of pandemic fatigue. one of the main issues affecting french citizens is officials bringing measures and non negotiable with the public in a country where people are born free and equal the vaccination passports, inappropriate what is acceptable. despite the fact that 90 percent of the french population is vaccinated, we have $200000.00 new cases of infection per day. this proves vaccination passport will not prevent code from spreading. this virus does not care about these freedom curving measures, but the government has another outrageous policy pointing the finger at the end, vaccinated. i'm making them scape goat to their own shortcomings, this destruction from the government's own mistakes and failures over the past 2

years. the real scandal, the uncertainty of the situation or sort of a thing, we are not told in advance about new rules on the rules are constantly in flux. i can show a loss of energy is being wasted. as a time when we need to discuss a number of much more important issues, charges have been dropped against new york's disgraced former govern. andrew cuomo, still accused of covering a coven deaths in nursing homes and of sexual harassment. the announcement those sparked outrage. today's news that the manhattan are wanting to press charges against disgraceful my governor cuomo is yet another politically motivated decision by left. when prosecutors, cuomo has blood on his hands, his victims and their families deserve justice. democrats allowed, corrupt and disgraced governor cuomo to a state criminal charges for nursing home deaths however, they harris president, trump justice is not blind in new york and shame on us for believing that the

justice system would actually work for us. instead of helping cuomo cover up his crimes? listen, well, no, intentionally ordered a jelly virus into elderly homes, and that created coven get chambers all around the state for our loved ones. now love ones had no chance. there is one man to blame, and that man is andrew cuomo. i mean, what kind of society or me, when over 15000 people can die horrible, agonizing deaths alone. my father died alone, and there is no semblance of accountability or wallet. office quote, was accused of letting people into care who's without testing during the early stages of the pandemic. he's also been accused of under counting cova deaths by 50 percent, comma himself denies any wrong doing. and it says that the virus didn't claim more lives in nursing homes. but who years 3328 died

in the hospital, died in a nursing home. they died. coma resigned in august after a decade in office, amid public pressure over harris when delegations, as mentioned, he was charged with groping an assistant with the district attorney's, now completed, although the accuser is credible, there's not enough evidence to take the case to court. we discussed the issue with the lawyer for the candidate for new york city council mani. hello sir. i think what the public needs to see is this is just another case of how the rich and powerful get away with crime. if you actually look at the, the players and the political landscape on the albany district attorney david source has been a long time alley ally of governor cuomo. you know, mr. sores was also part of almost transition team in 2006. he was also, you know, part of the moreland commission and you know, the public,

many of yours might not remember this, but the morling permission you know, was created i years ago in order to root out corruption. but then cuomo disbanded it when the corruption was pointing to him. so this is really a case of what political allies do. it shouldn't be just one person making that kind of decision, because that, that definitely leads to corruption. again, for you inflation at a 10 year high in the united kingdom, the resolution foundation, those warning of a coming cost of living catastrophe will explain all after the break. ah . you know, we recorded this episode in the past and this was our future. when we recorded it and now are going to predict what's gonna happen in 2022. so it's

a real time war. harold is driven by dream shaped by thinkers. and those with ah, dares thing. we dare to ask me to join me as a 1st aid on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business and show business. i'll see you then in

the welcome back barton use for owners in the united kingdom as a majority of economists think that their wages will be out paced by inflation months. according to an annual end of year poll conducted by the financial times, inflations already of the 10 year high and the u. k. combined with new tax hikes, it is sole hitting brits hard, the resolution, foundations warning of a coming cost of living catastrophe. was he shot he had his nasty looks at the impact he's having on already struggling british families. it's not so happy new year haven, britain. if the eat or heat dilemma means households could find themselves $1200.00 pounds a year was off in 2022. according to a leading think tank. sterling wages plus soaring energy bills and taxes will cause a cost of living catastrophe. 2022 said to the year of the squeeze was real wages said to be no higher next christmas than to day. and families face

a typical income hate of around $1200.00 pounds a year. from april, as a result of tax rises, answering energy bills come april, the new energy price cap will be set, meaning bills will jump by $600.00 pounds and the same amount will have to be coughed up due to tax changes all the while. real wages will only grow by 0 point one percent. the result, particularly for low income families who already struggle to make ends meet, will be devastating. and not people are now turning up, but food banks in general, and just see kind of help who ordinarily would not have even considered a possibility. maybe 6 months ago, a year ago. but most people are not showing up food banks and asking for no cook policy, which means that they literally make the decision between heating. anything you know, that missing hands decide between getting food and having the main is 2 percent. she beat it. so that obviously gave me the impression that things were

a lot more dire than most people 1st. well, the cost of living is continuing to rise and the government don't call a capital. and then it's going to cause a loss of di, a hardship, 100000 death within the next 12 months. the hard associated, but will be the elderly, the vulnerable disabled with a loss of low income, single parent families feeling the strain and the sweet. where, in my opinion, call forth a lot of people into criminal justice survive as if all that isn't bad enough. inflation is through the roof leak thing to a 10 year high of 5 point one percent. the bank of england is predicting that it will reach around 6 percent by spring. so versus wages, a falling in real terms, at least. but this current on income in the words of boris johnson is

a change in direction lower that you towards a high wage high scale economy. there is no tentative. the u. k. has got to. we can do much, much better by becoming a high wage high productivity economy. so technically, we were warned but not everyone is buying it, including politicians on both sides of the spectrum. heating bills are going through the roof. punishing tax rises on the way. wages are stagnating, universal credit cuts have hit struggling families hard. all world prices in the shops are rising and inflation risks, eroding the value of savings and pensions. rising wages are great unless prices rise faster. inflation matters is about what we can afford and how families make ends meet in a tough month. and it's not just those in the house of commons that are calling for a policy change. the trade party entity u. k has demanded reducing the a t to cut the cost of bills instead,

while the others say the government should fit the bill. so large this overnight cost of living catastrophe. that is hard to see how the government avoids stepping in top of the government's new year resolutions should be addressing a pulls energy bills hike, particularly for the poorest households who will be hardest hit by rising gas and electricity bills. if there isn't to you turn soon, 2022 will be a tough year for many whose bouts of already been squeezed by the pandemic, empty, and people's pockets. so it's struggling families are likely to bear the brunt. they're not looking at the reality. the reality is they can reduce energy places they to comb with the warm home discharge. well they've got to have the individual people, me, individual families. they've got to look up the cost of living. the cost of living is way above the cost. now that's the price rises in the way derived, not coming through quick fall. if you put way job going to rise rate inflation

rate interest rate. you've got to look up the only option to reduce the price of living food costs of the, the cost, the cost of fuel costs that needs to be use to come back and with the income people in this country is going to go back with very quickly i saw just united kingdom where we're inflation is ramp and state sided recently had a 40 year high, 6.8 percent across the channel and you have reached this highest level since 1987 aaron explains. it starts with slow things though. favorite coffee is a bit more expensive and the cost of petrol seems annoyingly high. and then there's a full blown economic disaster. and the media in a frenzy price is surging, more than they have in 30 years, and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. inflation is hitting americans hard

prices for gas and groceries, or surging on this wednesday night. the cost of living and it's effect on your bottom line, newly released data from the u. s. shows inflation growth there at the highest rate and almost 40 years. and eventually frustration hits boiling point seems like every, the prices go out. and no matter where you go and no matter what are you shopping doesn't at this point, i mean like received from last year's right cairo. think, you know, like, it's even like the boy where does it? i'm you that i want to buy on my budget. they're just getting more expensive. the harder property i've given up my house. i've given up my car. i've given up my lifestyle. i've given up my my, my financial freedom. i've had the skill back where i eat, where i shop, how i shop. when i, when i eat at certain places, as i have to adjust with the inflation rates,

i had to actually do more things. and so i actually had to take a part time job. so i already work a full time job making a good amount of money over $65000.00 a year. and i still had to say got a side job doing, you know, doing delivery services so. so it affected me an hour in a positive spin. americans were urged to go veggie, or have spaghetti instead out of pocket to on with canceled holidays. no amount of positive spins were enough to save the government from plummeting. popularity. december poll showed a majority of people, but the government was not doing enough to fix the problem. as 3 in 10 americans stressed over how to cover bill after a dismal financial year. and no one was exempt as president by to himself. so his signature builds back better legislation, proposing some 2 trillion dollars in social and climate spending killed over inflation phase with a final nail courtesy of his fellow democrat. then i cannot vote to continue with

this piece of legislation. i just can't. i've tried everything humanly possible. i can't get there across the channel. similar scenes with the rocketing energy costs, driving up bills and inflation across the 19 member eurozone. soaring to 4.9 percent in november, the highest level since reco. it's began in 1997 in germany. rates rose well beyond 5 percent and are rising still. the situation becoming so severe that some germans were faced with a choice between christmas presents for their kids or hating for their homes. people who are on the poverty threshold a more at risk of falling into poverty because of energy prices. this christmas families might not be able to give their children presence or keep them warm in the flat. these are things that concern us. similar themes played out across the a year in france. * * inflation hit its highest level in 13 years, spanish inflation search to a 29 year high and people was struggling to cope. i noticed that clearly never day

items and petrol. my rent has been increased. probably because the landlord feels inflation to i think politicians have burst, killed it, making things look good matter. there's also purpose behind us. i wouldn't call it lying, but the way affects a handled is very glossy. everything is getting more expensive, but my salary remains the same. more and more people are living on the edge even if they work full time or even more. in some cases, the politicians have no idea what the prices are because they don't go shopping or fill up their cars themselves. i don't think it's something temporary because the government is introducing a lot of money to the economy in the wake of the christ. the repeal central bank is printing a lot of money and this is going to increase in inflation. it will stimulate the economy, which is the main goal, but it will increase in inflation and that's for sure. as we reached the final few months of the year, another blow for the world came in the form of on the chrome, but leave to be highly transmissible, though not as little as the previous kind of

a variance on the con, the spread across the globe closing ball different sparking new restrictions while this time the case surge is hard less severe impacts on spending and jobs. what they did do is threatens who prolong supply chain disruptions and keep inflation at all time highs. and rather than loosening monetary policy to support economies, as they did at the start of the pandemic, this time central banks moved to raise interest rates. as face grew, the surgeon cove at 900 cases could also prolong high inflation. they say the full recovery from cubic 19 can take a matter of months for the world's economy. it could be years if the vaccine was the buzzword for 2021. 1 can only hope that normalization could make the list. in 2022. cameron reporting darya roberts, not international thank see company i'll return with that. they synthetic ah

ah, and with i mean, ah, with i'm ashen or fancy and you're watching going underground the team and i will be back for a brand new season on wednesday. the 12th of january, but until then we'll be showing some of your favorite shows from this season coming up in the show 48 hours after another court hearing. in the case of julian, a son, jesse on the verge of being freed from bill mush prison. we ask the un repertoire
