refund for the shimmer sectors and target ah, because the project to wrapped in europe is countries rat shit up new restrictions making the lives of the unbiased, ever more complicated. distracted by party gate, the british media is dominated by headlines about the prime minister locked down parties. but at the same time, ignoring a whole host of other crises from record inflation, to search and living in the way without his number one ranked player is 10 install. another joke of which is reported from the country after he's playful. the potential cause of unrest by the government simply being unpacks ah,

paid a very good morning. great to have a company. this is on t internet. frances leading europe again in terms of daily cove case loads, clocking up more than 270000 infections in 24 hours. that as anger over the micron government's new vaccination pass was vented on the streets of paris. the sunday's 1000 strong protests saw clashes with the police and it came right out of the national assembly, had given a blessing to the new vaccination pass, which gives access to things like restaurants and cinemas to the fully job. it replaces the current less strict health system under which i negative sufficient

and it's the only friends that seen the rest of the cove. it in recent days with anger at restrictions in other european cities also boiling. ah, i really like when a record breaking 24 hours in germany and not in a good way. when you look at the 7 day indices that see the number of infections of coven 19 per 100000 of the population. it's past 515 nationally. look at things locally in berlin, it's close to $1000.00 per 100000 of the population vol. so seen the bonds as

fair as the german military say that they're going to implement disciplinary action against it's serving members who refuse to get their vaccinations. there are some cases that have already been opened in relation to that. there's also a number of new rules that have come into play in berlin. if you're riding any of the german capitals, public transportation. you're going to have to have an f, f p to mask covering your nose and mouth. that's a much more substantial face covering than a normal surgical mask. also, if you're riding that public transportation to any event, which they'll be more than 10 people at, well, that event will be covered by the to g plus rule. what that means is that if you're going there, you need to be vaccinated, recovered and be able to show a negative test that was taken within the last 24 hours, or that you've had a booster vaccine shot. if you're under 14 years of age,

none of that matters because you're not covered by any of those particular rules. however, those people who run the hospitality industry in the german capital say not enough as being done to keep them afloat financially, while everything seems to be done to try and keep bars and restaurants open at least in some form the most on this place in september 2018. we were providing people not only food services, but we also whole cultural events, birthdays and celebration for our neighbors. the last 2 years haven't been as one of them to be, would definitely depend on the money of tourists. previously we had groups of them, even people from france, england and spain now was dried up the same as the number of birthday celebrations and events, especially with elderly people. did december refer to wave of cancellations, coupled with christmas, been cancelled, but definitely feel the impact of it. and absolutely want to receive more financial support because we have no more chance of being left standing. it's not just in

germany that new rules are coming into play on monday. if you're in greece and you're over 60 and you're not vaccinated. well, you're going to get a 100 year ro fine. in fact, you're going to get that $100.00 euro find every month until you get vaccinated. it all schools are also getting underway again in greece. on monday, on friday, though, students were extremely unhappy with the ministry of education, not building being pelted with miss styles by children saying that they wanted substantial protection against coven 19. and the measures that were being put in place, which is not enough to do that. those who were attending not protest said they wanted schools to reopen, but they needed to reopen in a manner that was safe from the virus. in austria, over the weekend, we saw a nova today of demonstration, thousands of people on the street of vienna. people extremely unhappy with the measures that the off the government has taken when it comes to trying to fight

against coven 19. the business owners old us, that the measures that have been taken by vienna. i've taken them pretty much to the wall killer is definitely extremely silent. we had to remain shut down for half a year during the last long lockdown, filling all the required applications for subsidies, cost money that require the help of the tax consultants. every new locked down, new applications, new subsidies. it's exhausting the offer. sometimes help comes extremely late to save some people and upon the rocks. after all of it, are you still see a, a tutor? i pride full financial support during the 1st wave for my application wasn't even onset or so. i think they have just been overloaded, waiting on the count, worked as an excuse, but i think it was just like that was in following waves. i received help but received it with a delay and it wasn't very clear what amount of money i could count on his been very hard. it's very hard to plan. anything of it. no, staying in austria county,

i'm at the austrian chancellor has confirmed that his government is pushing ahead with its plan to introduce mandatory vaccination at the beginning of february. it's a controversial plan, which is drawing a lot of criticism for a small section of the austrian population. it's also a plan that's being watched very closely by a number of other european countries, including here in germany, to see how it plays out. but across europe, nations are taking a number of very different courses when it comes to them trying to snuff out this latest wave of coven 19. in the meantime, italy's coven passes also harder to obtain. now a negative test, no longer being enough. restrictions of pushing some italians, in fact to break the law with wonders recently arrested for issuing fake champ certificates ah,

and with as a doctor and health care professional, i'm disheartened. i've been putting my private life aside for 2 years, just like all my colleagues as well to deal with the pandemic. for this reason, seeing these things happening is really sad. ah we were way that this police investigation was not over. i really hope that with this arrest, we can put an end to this sad story. i'm very disappointed even angry. it is

difficult to understand how a person who's worked for many years in hospitals and health care can do such things. not injecting the vaccine as a crime. it is as if a priest does not believe in god. mm. will staying in europe, british prime minister boris johnston's popularity. he said an all time low over the party, gay, scandalous, dominate india. k. meet is a string of revelations about boozy shit, diggs taking place at downing street so sucking attention. i tell you, from a barrage of other crises that are affecting the country. daniel hawkins explains, it's a tough time to be you. k prime minister for was johnson's cabinet,

have been criticized for their code response. the countries seem decade high inflation, soaring energy bills and living costs with stagnant wages, record breaking ambulance and hospital waiting times teenage knife crime in the capitol. yet it's one thing that has brought anger from both the public and his party, crushing down on johnson bringing him to the brink of disaster, both in the poles and parliament, a party, or rather a series of parties with very bad timing. the picture was quite a contrast as the whole country, even the queen was locked down or at least social distance thing. darling suit officials apparently held boozy parties and cheese and wine get togethers. what in our faces seems like a hang over. so far things don't look good. for the 1st time in years, the opposition has taken a solid lead in the polls falls,

also show large numbers of voters, even tories. what in the prime minister's resignation? even dozens of his own. m. p. 's are calling for a no confidence motion as protest as gather outside number 10 for a mock work party. ah jokes the sites for those in the u. k. it's a matter of perception and principal. why have people followed draconian rules been separated from dying? relatives faced isolation and restrictions on base at a life while those in power have lied. the suitcase of wine is definitely the tory equivalent of a bag of cans. a pint of wine. this is nothing. the number 10 lads drink it by the suitcase christ. if this was what johnson's downing street was like, jerry looked down. imagine what was like before. why do you think they call it downing street? it's fun, her damage control. meteor speaking of

a double whammy operations said big dog. yes, but allegedly named by the prime minister himself and operation red meets the former mass calling of don st. officials to throw as many as possible under the bus ballasa. a bliss of policy changes to appease the public and m pays from scrapping the b, b. c. license fee to putting the military in charge of patrol in english channel from saving a chest to binding booz downing street though, why this wasn't done earlier. beats may also looks like he's getting on what's called a charm offensive. he's trying to introduce things that he thinks the public will like. he is, for example, threatening to limit the fun thing of the baby said. he says he's going to get tough on migrants coming across illegally over the channel. he's saying that very soon or restrictions uncovered to land, but it's too late. all of those things might be attractive individually,

but he has prominently lost his moral authority on this issue. and since the issue of the time demick has been the biggest issue for the last 2 years, he will always speak, we can from now on. can johnson come back from the brink? the coming weeks will tell, but policy it has once again shown 2 things. does nothing boaters have more than a lying politician? except when a line politicians stop them, having policies but goes ahead with their own police in the united kingdom have arrested 2 teenagers in south manchester to be questioned by counter terrorism police over saturday synagogue hostage crisis in texas. the suspect in that incident has been identified as a 44 year old british citizen who interrupted a morning service taking for people hostage situation ended. the death of the suspects when a swat team stormed the synagogue following a 10 hour thunder. all the hostages were freed and left on hom. both precedent by

none. the k for a minister had described that as an this trillion opened gets underway, the will number was men's tennis plan will be noticeably, absences, novel joke of which has been deported from the country. and he lost his appeal against a decision by camber to revoke his visa over the vaccine related concern senior served in officials of trance that expulsion of political. i think with railey and what's right for it is cumulative himself was this kind of procedures pressing against your courage, missing the years. i think the decision is scandalous. i'm disappointed and i think it showed how the rule of law functions in some other countries, that is how the rule of law does not functional. it is incredible to me how we have to totally oppose court decisions within just a few days. so there have been 11 days of physical and psychological harassment,

novak chuck, of which has been denied and opportunity to win a milestone 10th title in australia. political pressure has led to the revocation of his visa to satisfy public interest. it begs the question whether athletes will from now on, be incarcerated like criminals, and deported when it suits the political interests of powerful individuals. we'll talk of issues 1st, detain for not being vaccinated bus. he was released after he went to court battle, where his defense team pointed out that he recently had cove. it title so mostly wrongly filled out an immigration form. but what really concerned australia's immigration minister was that he feared joke of his presence in the country mighty unrest, as anti faxes were rallying around his course. so he decided to deport the tennis star, overruling the court. 3 judges unanimously upheld that decision. meanwhile, he joke, which is home nation of serbia, people have been expressing their anger and frustration at that decision throttle.

it's a shame he's one of the greatest sportsmen of all time. i think it's a political decision by the australian government, especially because he comes from serbia. i think we all took the decision personally some extent because no joke of it is a great man of his people. it's a fox. people identify with him with his success and also what he just went through . that's exactly, i think the outcome of the story was expected. politics got involved, but at the same time they gave novak the opportunity to become a symbol of freedom. by planting the seeds of freedom he has done very well, and i congratulate him for that. we spoke to independent journalist charlie boyle. he says, the australian government miss handle the situation. well, i think it's a mixture of politics for an election and just the general trying to nation and a company that's been happening a lot down downs in australia in particular, everyone should be treated the same device. so you shouldn't got to go straight.

you should have been much more clear about just mr. just told him not to come to get back to like everybody else, but the dropping and trying to call expect somebody to come across the wound and that you are and then spend a week in jail, which is the fact that he was there always we just want people call me back all the time or the medical exams, but the end of the day they come into the country. that's the box for me. oh no, no, they use care. this pointed the finger of blame and moscow saying that it was behind fridays, massive cyber attack on ukrainian government websites. it's an accusation which russia denies brushing it off as baseless. now this all comes attention to russia and the u. s. escalate, mary, comedian and officials claim russia is preparing a false flag operation in ukraine. moscow slammed those allegations as well, noting the nato promises to curtail its advances. close it's of russia have yet to

be met. because national security advisor compared to current events to the ukraine crisis of 8 years ago, we saw this playbook in 2014. they are preparing this playbook again and the and we will have the administration will have further details on what we see. potential laying of a pretext to share with the press over the course of the next 24 hours. we're living in a world of fake because ation. so fake news can until it is proved. we'll continue to presume that it is fake news and it is for physicians. we spoke with journalist daniel lazar about the false flag allegation, he says, claims rusher is sending sam, but turn into crane. not may propaganda. latest accusation bought us entirely by the us government. that russia is smuggling 7 tours into eastern ukraine. i mean, this is example of the propaganda campaign. the hot and the hostile aggressive

propaganda campaign mounted by the us and the campaign that makes russia very nervous. so up, so as america trying to calm things down or trying to raise the, the war fears i look at if russian troops had advanced the borders of germany. i mean, what to europe with the very concerned. and they would, they would demand some kind of. busy concession to buy the russian, but the now that nato is advanced to the borders of russia. somehow, nato can't understand what the fuss is all about. this is ridiculous. millionaires ro in manhattan has the most expensive apartments in the world. they cost hundreds of millions of dollars. the property tax on them is only a fraction of what they are worth. it's adding to a growing problem of affordable housing in the city for the less well off on the east coast on caleb moore. pet reports the south of central park and manhattan are

7 skyscraper buildings that are referred to as billionaires ro. these are homes only affordable to the ultra rich, while billionaires ro is certainly driving up rent and housing costs for average citizens. one thing it is not doing is increasing tax revenue. new york city's property taxes are based on assessed value, not the sales price residence of 157, the luxury apartment building. that's part of billionaires ro, also get a tax break because the company owns some affordable housing far away in the bronx . it's a pretty convenient loophole that allows the billionaire residents to have some of their tax burden. east. i've looked into the controversy with former new york city council candidate and lawyer marnie hall. last is a huge tax discrepancy. and you know, a lot of activists have been calling and the $421.00 a tax subsidy because the city loses so much money. and in $22011700000000.00 of money that the city could have got for city services. we don't have so that's, that's a real problem and it creates

a tremendous amount of income inequality. and that's where you see again, you know, like the, the story is the rich get richer in the 4 year for 430 to park avenue bows to being the tallest residential building in the western world. its 85 stories with a nice view of central park or take the building known as 157. it consists of $92.00 housing units above the hyatt hotel. the very existence of these buildings drives up housing and rent costs for average citizens. non billionaire residents of new york city have often been complaining about the high costs of rent, which hasn't decreased very much despite the worsening conditions in the city. shows a bearing off gas to hi my surgery for apartments right now. and i can't find anything really, in my opinion, for me for less than $40000.00. problem. this is this

is yearly $100000000.00. partly what department? taking advantage of all the assets of the new york city, but they're not paying for the financial strain of accommodating billionaire housing goes even further. since the pandemic, new york city has lost much of its appeal, the alter, richer, going elsewhere. central park tower has 89 percent of its apartments vacant according to the new york post, and all 7 of the buildings dubbed billionaires ro you've got a half of those. busy luxury housing units sitting empty. so in such a situation, shouldn't the housing costs and rent go down? well they aren't. i mid rise in crime and inflation. new york city housing costs are still. busy sky high working families are struggling and many look on and say the game is rigged. caleb martin, r t new york. and that brings you right today. thanks for joining me this monday morning, watching our team to national, appreciate your company. and if you can't stick around,

i'll be back with updates to the top of the news i ah ah join me every thursday on the alex silent, sure. but i'll be speaking to guess when the world of politics, small business,

i'm show business. i'll see you then so called enhanced interrogation techniques used by the u. s. officials were basically designed as techniques to break down the human mind. if you force a human being to stay in a certain position doesn't take very long to the pain involved to become absolutely excruciating. but nobody lean finger on you. you are doing it to yourself. and we started adopting those techniques when i was station and mosul among them, wordpress positions sleep deprivation. and using hypothermia is already beginning to be evidence that these old techniques are now being used on immigrants and children, whatever you do or more comes home. nobody has been held accountable for the

torture that happened in the past. and the moral authority, the made america war later. sacrifice for the shimmer of effective interrogation with nothing but by the open house. patsy ski to coordinate the liberties. keith is going to push and push it if i had a few. but there was somebody in somewhat of a few minutes ago, it was 3 to what i still love with it at the but i booked with loaner vehicle me in your school was like you believe about what we did get hope. all right, from what you what would be with you know what this was our up. i know you were wild like you but here for a little for pretty weaker live for mobile show for dr. gardenia be with

ah ah ah ah ah ah, with ah ah!

i'm after dancing you're watching, going underground, coming up the show. as netflix is most viewed show of all time squid game takes home a golden globe. how has the nation at war with its northern counterpart snatched attention away from the head, gemini, of hollywood, while showing the arguable nightmares of late capitalism and with the world future energy summit underway this week in one of the world's highest per capita, greenhouse gas emitters the u e, we ask whether world leaders are turning a blind eye to environmental, racism dollars them all coming up in today's going underground. profess that he has a go today japanese prime minister, catchy me, as our apologized for the sexual slavery of korean women during world war 2. and 15 years later, the hand of the doomsday clock struck 5 minutes to midnight after north korean

missile testing. but for all the turbulent history, an ongoing war with its northern counterpart, south careers become a cultural powerhouse. joining me now from california is professor union kim, author of hedge, a monic mimicry, korean popular culture of the 21st century. thank you so much professor vera, coming on the show to korea is arguably on show at the beginning of 2022 we've got came jargon, overseeing successful hypersonic miss aisles that can reach your new c, irvine. so there in about 25 minutes, who knows? at the same time we see o young to winning a golden globe for a squid game. what is behind the ag, global cultural rise is half career? well, you can probably sum it up as, as 2 things as, as korea, like north korea has had enormous success economically over the, you know, past for the case of 1st he was called a miracle on the river han that has given an impetus, right to turn yourself around, i'm in the global, i don't know,

a village as popular culture. i think you know, power house as you put it. and then the other thing is, democratization that took place in south korea on like north korea. obviously, that really took a form of, again, open societies, south korea, now our guarantees, you know, freedom speech, ah, that allows, obviously artistic output to be not restrained by supported even by the government . you know, so that has been taken a form of unprecedented cultural and it sounds you have now a witnessing in square game parasite, you know, keep up and as such. oh, bed attenuated by criticism is like a huge state subsidy, a state of power propaganda models. i mean, if the word had gemini comes from my the italian communist graham, she, her,

what exactly is hedge a monic mimicry, the title of your book? well, i and try to conceptualize how, you know, i mean, yes, there's been charge an accusation of korean. barbara korean cinema, korean drama to be largely, you know, parenting or actually copying the western models. there's usually an accusation that there's nothing actually new under the sun when it comes to korean cultural products. and i try to re situated and say, listen, every time that there is a cultural, you know, kind them again, power us emerging is usually of form of mimicry that actually takes place. and then it has a way of, you know, elevating itself. and that's one of the reasons why you have me agree as not, you know, certain of a secondary, i think, conceptualization but i.
