a ah biling clashes between protestors and police resume in catholic stock or the administration building of the country's largest city. now under attack, it's got off the fury over spiraling fuel costs, ultimately led the government to stand down with the french president, emanuel macro and resorts, a bad language to take a swipe unvaccinated citizens. it's inflammatory remarked come, amid a heated debate in the national assembly on whether to bring in the theme and charges against former governor of new york. and andrew cuomo that is to have now been dropped, accused of under counting care home deaths and sexual harassment. a relative of the

kobe victims are well peer society, or when over 50000 people die horrible, agonizing death alone. my father died and there's no can, with a good mix in your program. today with stories ranging from the russian courses to new york and the u. k, welcome to it. by the way it's audience. so, protests have flared up again in kazakhstan, demonstrate as managing to break into the administrative building of the country's largest city. i'll natty the 3 on the stand. the building has also been set a light with gunfire being heard on security forces retreating from a nearby square. the former residents of the president, as well as the office of the ruling party,

as we understand are also said now for being under attack. and in this video, we can show you, you can see what looks like a crowds surrounding a police officer arresting his gun often. and disturbances have been flaring up over my phone all day. the national guard had been deployed across the city to try and protect government buildings. after a state of emergency was imposed there on tuesday, one local commander says around 500 civilians were hurt by rioters. and there's also been unrest in smaller cities like october in the west of the country or a crowd attempted to storm the local mayor's office of police could be seen using water cannon understand grenades as being nationwide are rest. well, since sunday sparked by the growing fuel prices, so just for a moment here on the program, give you a better understanding. his a is a snapshot of tuesday nights protests

the in response to days of on the rest. now the president has imposed state regulation on the fuel price. you blamed his government, which resigned over night for the disturbances, for the cost of basic foods is also now being controlled centrally. a state of emergency was declared in several regions, including the capital nurse called ton countries. interior administer says that nationwide, almost to launch people have been injured. most of them police for hundreds of protesters were detained. danny armstrong now picked up the stone people lined the street in their hundreds. it did start off in the cities in urbanized areas such as our marty, the largest city in catholic,

stan and north fulton course. the capital formerly known as us the now, but it has also been felt in the west of the country. these places out in a desert close to central asia, a place called the longest thou region president. so kind of was 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, but it hasn't done anything to kind of quell that unrest. we can hear what president high of said in his address to the nation right now that i give 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 and chaos. calls to attack the military and civilian offices are illegal. the government will not far away in

places like marty, there has been a state of emergency and of course in the reason of running a 1000 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 cause for the foreseeable future. on the french president says he wants to irritate the unbox unaided using rather bad language to make his point is rather provocative or montgomery as the national assembly heatedly debates, binding the and jabbed from boss copies and cinema's. opponents have rounded on him for this and the use of bad language. a president shouldn't say that manual mcfarlane is unworthy in his office. is unworthy and irresponsible, remarked 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 was an extraordinary couple of days here in france. this is a bill that was supposed to glide through the parliament without a hiccup, but 1st 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. the debates resumed on tuesday, but following that extraordinary intervention by president mac on people were gaston shocked. as you saw there at his words so much. so they demanded that the french prime minister get straight to the chamber to explain what the president had said. there was a fiery opposition already to this new measure here in france,

a coven measures of already seen massive divisions within society. and since 2020, when those restrictions 1st started, there have been mass protests in the country. ah. so what is this vaccine pass? warden? why is it perhaps so different to the health passport that's currently in place in france and is already controversial, or just give you an idea if you're unvaccinated in france right now, you can pay to go and have a test if it's negative will be valid for 24 hours, meaning you can go to cafes or restaurants,

this vaccine passport will change all of that substantially. it will mean if it's passed, that those who are in vaccine heated will no longer have the right to access any of these venues. it will even deny them access to long distance trains. the majority people have been vaccinated in france, but they remain around 5000000 people, age 12 and over who are on vaccinated. and as you can imagine, this is very divisive on the streets of paris. there was mixed reaction. i'm against the vaccine pass because it will not prevent the virus from spreading freedom is restricted and it's affecting everyone. i don't trust the government very much. i think it's enough if people take care and behave responsibly to tend to so i'm against it. i don't find it all right, that they take us from a health path to vaccination pass. each individual should have a right to do with their body. what they think is right for them in natural immunity works just a little while 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 to so long as i present the pass. so often really ref, 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 am left wondering what to do. i did get vaccinated because the alternative would mean i'd have certain freedoms taken away. what are not, from the government's point of view, it says this vaccine passport is needed to stop the rapid increase in covey cases. that country is experiencing at the moment, mainly due to the new on the corner variant. however, given that intervention from macklin, there is a sense that those who may have been persuaded to vote for this bill in the past might be looking to change their mind and it's not clear now whether this will pass at all. president mack, on his a man who has been described as an arrogant president by many people over the last few years. something he himself addressed really in an,

in to be where he tried to humble himself in front of the french saying that he had learned the lessons at his mistakes. the way he had spoken to french people and to the french citizens in the past. but it does seem from this latest outburst that that is a lesson he truly has not yet learned. journalist alex, as paula says, the french government is desperately trying to find a scapegoat for its own failures during the cobra crisis. and fetching good this said, there is a great deal of pandemic fatigue. one of the main issues affecting french citizens is officials bringing measures and non negotiable with public in a country where people are born free and equal vaccination passports, inappropriate it is unacceptable. despite the fact that 90 percent of the french population is vaccinated, we have $200000.00 new cases of infection per day. this proves the 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

vaccinated and making them scapegoats for 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 of aggravating. we are not told in advance about new rules on the rules are constantly in flux. a loss of energy is being wasted at a time when we need to discuss a number of much more important issues. so charges have been actually dropped against the new york while the former governor was lot of people calling him the disgraced former gulf. and he's not short on scandals these days. andrew cuomo, he's that accused of course of covering up cove. it that's and nursing homes. but i forget also he was accused of sexual harassment. and you can imagine the out and announcement has a sparked pretty decent amount of outrage. today's news that the manhattan door won't press charges against disgraceful mc governor cuomo is yet another politically motivated decision by left when prosecuted. 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 co, the death 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 are me when over 50000 people in die horrible agonizing deaths alone. my father died alone and there's no semblance of accountability. while in office, i call them i was accused of letting people into a cow homes without testing during the early stages of cove. it is also being

accused of under counting deaths there by 50 percent of hormone stuff and cellphones any wrong doing an assist. the virus didn't claim more lives in nursing homes, but who ears. 3328 died in a hospital, died in a nursing home. they died. cuomo resigned in august after a decade in office. so i made a public pressure of a harassment allegations as well. as mentioned, he was charged with groping an assistant, but a district attorney has now concluded that although the accuser is credible, there's not enough evidence to bring the case to court. so we discussed the issue with lawyer and former candidate for the new york city council, mani lawson. 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 i and the political landscape, i'm the, the albany district attorney david source has been a long time alley ally of governor cuomo and mr. sores was also part of promos,

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 moorland commission and 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, you know, what political allies do, it shouldn't be just one person making that kind of decision because that, that definitely leads to corruption. oh, buffy offered to the program here on this wednesday on auto international still to come here. inflation in the u. k is sitting 10 year high for the u. k. resolution foundation of warning of a coming cost of living catastrophe. we'll get with the details on that will shed some light in just a mom. i

know when i was just seemed wrong when i just don't lose any room to shape out this thing because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will support, we choose to look for common ground. you know, we recorded this episode in the past and this was our future when we recorded it in our going to predict what's gonna happen in 2022. so it's a real time warp.

join me every thursday on the alex simon show, and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the godaddy with us for this program here on the wednesday from moscow. apparently though bad news for workers in the u. k. as a majority of economists think that wages will be out paced by inflation. according to an annual end of the year poll conducted by the financial times, inflation is already at a 10 year high in the u. k. and combined with new tax hikes, it's all hitting brits pretty hard with a new case resolution foundation. even warning of a coming cost of living catastrophe. so our correspondent, shoddy was dr. now looking at the impact that's happening on already struggling families. it's not so happy new year haven, britain,

us the eat or heat di lemme 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 wage is 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 and soaring 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 the food banks in general. and just seeking help who ordinarily would not have even considered

a possibility by me 6 months ago a year ago. but most people now started banks and asking for no houses, which means that they literally make the decision between heating, anything you know, that happens decide between getting food and having the means to potentially lease it. so obviously gave me the impression that things were a lot more dire than my people 1st. well, the cost of living is continuing to rise and government don't or capital costs, then it's going to cause a loss of die, a hardship, $1000.00 job, even death. that within the next 12 months, the hard, the shows you, but will be the elderly, the vulnerable disabled with a loss of low income, single parent families, feeling the strain and the squeeze. where, in my opinion, he called forth a lot of people into criminal justice. survive as if all that isn't bad

enough. inflation is through the roof, leaping 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 the british rage is falling in real times, 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 alternative the u. k has got to. we can do much, much better by becoming a higher 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 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 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 a u 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 the . they're not looking at the reality. the reality is that they can use energy

places they comb with the warm home discharge. well, they've got to look at 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 of income. now that's the price rises in the way derive is not coming through quick fall. if you put way job, we call the rise rate inflation. that's going to raise the interest rate. you've got to look up the only option to reduce the price of living cost. the cost of the, the cost of the cost hope few needs to be use to come back in balance with the people in the this country is going to go backwards very quickly. but it's not just the u. k, where inflation is ramp and state sided recently. hit a 40 year high, oliver and the e. u, for example, is also now the highest level of inflation since 1987. it's not looking good for

hardworking tax payer's thought. is nicki aaron now explains it starts with small things. your 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 its effect on your bottom line. newly released data from the u. s. shows inflation rows there at the highest rate and almost 40 years. and eventually frustration hits boiling point seems like every, the prices go up and no matter where you go in ohio, are you shopping? doesn't this point, i mean, like received last year. right. i think, you know, like, it's even like the point where does it i'm you that i want to buy on

a tight budget. this is getting more expensive. little harder wasn't 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 rate, 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 and i was doing delivery services. so, so it affected me in the house. in a positive spin, americans were urged to go veggie, or have spaghetti instead out of pocket to on with canceled holidays. no amounts of positive spins were enough to save the government from plummeting popularity. a december poll showed a majority of people vote,

the government was not doing enough to fix the problem. as 3 in 10 american stressed over how to cover bill after a dismal financial year. and no one was exempt as president boynton 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. and i cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation, arduous care. i've tried everything humanly possible. i can't get there across the channel, similar scenes with rocketing energy costs, driving up bills and inflation across the 19 member euro's own storing 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. some of the scenes played out across the even france. * * inflation hit its highest level in 13 years, spanish inflation search to a 29 year high and people was struggling to cope with mom. i noticed that clearly never day items and petrol. my rant has been increased, probably because the landlord feels inflation to i think petitions have burst, killed it, making things look good maximum. there's also purpose behind this. i wouldn't call it lying, but the way flex 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 into the economy in the wake of the co crisis. the european 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 inflation. that's for sure. as we reach 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. the not as little as the previous kind of at variance on the con, the spread across the globe closing boldest on, sparking new restrictions. while this time, the case surgeon had 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 the 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 cobit 19 can take a matter of months, but it was the 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. well, it's good to have with us today. let's wrap up now with a quick recap of our top story here. we're not you international because protests have flared up again in context on where demonstrators are of managed to break into the administration building of the country's largest city, l matter. ah, the building has been set a light with a gun fire being heard and security forces as we understand retreating from a nearby square. the former residents of the president, as well as the office of the ruling party, are also said to be under attack. there has been wide spread nationwide on rests and sundays spoke to ultimately by growing fuel prices. the president said the

prices will be brought under state control. meantime, his government resigned over night will keep you up to date on this a developing story here when naughty international both on air and online and he stories he may have missed just head over to odyssey. dot com. ah, ah christmas. the traditional yuletide on a day this year may kitchen is traditional with a special christmas guide, me christmas tolerance, diversity guide. we all know that christmas is a family holiday. so make sure all your parents are properly member. i follow the agenda that make us no woman instead of snowman,

or even better at this new person designed for themselves. ah, no gifts, no don't, or teddy best prepare your children for the brave new world. i remember diversity is not at all i oh, this is no longer an appropriate cost you this is appropriation, zoological appropriation offensive to the dear community. ah. and obviously sandra has to be cancelled. i because he is a wisest gender male who abuses 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 christmas. you decide i while 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 and the militarization of police. this is an ama vehicle we acquired through the 1033 program and very free program and government program that follows military property . that is no longer you feel the law enforcement with an army over here. and i can't believe people are c a because it began a feeling that hey, you have to deal with.
