ah ah cove, it protests to erupt in europe. this country's rat sheet up new restrictions making the lives of the unpacked as the more complicated distracted by party gates, the british media is dominated by headlines about the prime ministers, lockdown parties, ignoring noah. o host of other crises, from record inflation, through to search and living costs. also this trillion over gets on the way without its men. number one ranked players, tennis star, novick joker, which is deported from the country. and so he's labeled a potential cause of unrest by the government for being an fax with either very good

morning and appreciate your company here on our t international. frances leading europe again in terms of daily cove case loads, clocking up more than 270000 infections in just 24 hours starters. anger over the microphone government's new vaccination pass was vented on the streets of paris. the sunday's 1000 strong protests or pleasures with the police and came right up to the national assembly. had given his blessing to the new vaccination path, which gives access to things like restaurants and cinemas to the philly job replaces the current less strict health system under which a negative division. and it's not only from the scene unrest over cobit

in the last few days. without government restrictions in other european cities also boiling over. ah ah ah, ah, it's been a record breaking 24 hours in germany and not in a good way when you look at the 7 day indices, that's the the number of infections of coven 19 per 100000 of the population. it's past 515 nationally. if you look at things locally in berlin, it's close to $1000.00 per 100000 of the population vol. so seen the bond 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 there will 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 hot tallahassee 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 opened, at least in some fall. the earnest of his i'd earns emptied both on this place and september 2018. we worked, providing people not only with food services, but we also have cultural events, bernice and celebrations for our neighbors. the last 2 years haven't been as one of them to be. we're definitely demand on the money of tourists. previously, we had groups of them, even people from france, england, and spain. i know now is dried up, same as the number of birthday celebrations and events, especially with elderly people. linda samara faced a wave of cancellation, 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, you ro fine. in fact, you're going to get that 100 euro fine. 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 that building being pelted with missiles by children saying that they wanted substantial protection against coven 19. and that the measures that were being put in place, which is not enough to do that. those who were attending that 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 another saturday of demonstration, thousands of people on the streets of vienna. people extremely unhappy with the

measures that the off in government have faith in when it comes to trying to fight against coven 90 least business owners. told us see measures that have been taken by the nf, taking them pretty much to the wall killers desperately, extremely solid. we had to remain shut down for half a year during the last long lock that filling all the required applications for subsidies cost the money that requires the help of the tax consultants. every new lock down, new applications, new subsidies. it's exhausting the offer. sometimes help comes extremely late to some people and upon the rocks. after all of it, we were part of siri tutor. i applied for financial support during the 1st wave for my application wasn't even onset. i think they have just been overloaded with the count, worked as an excuse, but i think it was just like that just 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 has been very hard, very hard to plan anything. no staying in austria,

county. hm. 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 from 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 cove at 19 me. while italy's cove, it passes, also harder to obtain now and negative test, no longer enough restrictions of pushing some italians though to even break the law with one nurse 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 away that this police investigation was not over. i really hope that with this arrest, we can put an end to this sad story. i am 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. staying in europe, british prime minister parish johnson's popularity hits an all time low over the policy gay scandal dominating yukon media. the string of revelations about boozy shindig, occurring downing street, and it's all sucking attention away from a barrage of other crises affecting the country. aunt is daniel hawkins express. it's a tough time to be you. k prime minister for was johnson's cabinets,

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 fives, 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 done and shoot 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 poles,

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, a 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 damage. control media, speaking of

a double whammy operations said big dog. yes. but literally, named by the prime minister himself and operation read, meets the former mass calling of don st officials to throw as many as possible under the bus. the latter, a blitz 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 petrol and english channel from saving a chest to binding booz downing street though, why this wasn't done earlier, beats me or something. looks like he's going 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 funding of the baby said. he says he's going to get tough on migrants coming across and legally 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 pan demik has been the biggest issue of the last 2 years, he will always be, we can from now on. can johnson come back from the brink? the coming weeks will tell. but policy gate has once again shown 2 things. there's nothing voters have more than a line politician except one a line politicians thought them having policies, but goes ahead with their own police in the united kingdom have arrested to teenagers in south manchester to be questioned by counter terrorism. police about 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 full hostage. the situation ended with the death of the suspect. when a swat team stormed the synagogue falling at 10 hours and of all the hostages,

were freed and left unharmed with president biden. and the k foreign minister described it as an act of terrorism. as this early an open begins, the world number, wal men's turn is fly, will be noticeably absent. novak joke if it has been deported from the country the he lost his appeal against the decision by camber to revoke his visa rover vaccine related concerns that senior serve in officials of trounced expulsion. as being political i think was william australian authorities can relate to themselves, were of this kind of procedures are pursuing against her mold, 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 function. it is incredible to me how we have to totally opposed court decisions within just a few days. so there have been 11 days of physical and psychological harassment.

novak shock, which has been denied an opportunity to win a milestone 10th title in australia. political pressure has led to the revocation of his visa to satisfy public interest. it breaks the question whether athletes will, from now on being castrated like criminals, and deported when it suits the political interests of powerful individuals, of ciocca, which was 1st detained for not being vaccinated, but was released after he went to court battle, where his defense team pointed out that he'd actually recently had cove it the diversity to wrong, the filled in an immigration full. but what really concerned australia's immigration minister was the joke of his presence mightly to unrest as anti faxes were rallying around. his cause is decision to have a rule that's an to pull. the tennis star was unanimously supported by 3 judges in australia's federal court. the while he joked riches home nation of serbia, people have been expressing their anger and frustration at the decision. ferrara,

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 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. because independent journalist charlie boyle says the australian government has miss handle the situation. well, i think it's a mixture of politics, an election, and just a general trying to nation and a company that's been down as a stranger. in particular, everyone should be treated by the end of day. so if i want,

you shouldn't got to go straight. you should have a much more clear about just mr. just told him not to come to get back to me like everybody else, but the chopping and changing call expect somebody to come across the world and not until you are and then spend a week in jail, which are always we want people call me back all the time or the medical exams, the end of the day, they come into the country. that's the bottom line for me. now, amid the joke of its saga, travel to australia has in fact been eased for the vaccination with camber now deciding to recognise russia sputnik v job. let's go live now to professor catherine bennett, who's a chairman epidemiology as australia. deacon university. really appreciate your time. catherine, 1st of all, what do you make of this decision? are you surprised to now, i'm not surprised. we've actually been hoping that we would have this decision. the

p g a has looked, all vaccines ending back continues to monitor them as new data comes in. so that they can take off any vaccines that make their requirements to make sure that they've got sufficient protection against someone transmitting the infection to others, but also critically that they're less likely to be on. well, should that become infected? well, send it straight is where the, the guidelines they were looking at. and that we're just waiting on the data. and a lot of people came to say, so it makes 5 recognized because it's not only impacts people traveling here from russia. but also clearly there's been a number of countries around the world that have also used the effect thing to say that is satisfied with the days when we've now got this recognition. yeah, i mean, he's finally been recognized. it has been almost a year and a half, i think since may be was 1st registered. and i think the surprise for me is that so many countries have been so slow to recognise it was, as i remember, the 1st vaccine vector base want to be registered. and yet,

many of the vaccines have been recognized in western nations prior to it why sputnik seemingly taking longer than other vaccines to get recognition. what we've heard from the regulators here is they want to saying that the equivalent days are in the same format coming out on suppose makes it really did leave them with their hands tied. they were talking to russia over this period of time, the producers of the vaccine, to make sure that they did in fact have those data in the pipeline so that i could look with them. so it's good to say that they've now got sufficient data that they can make the call, but i just think compared to other vaccines that wasn't for the day, the package wasn't paid in the same way. so it took a lot longer to negotiate the data they felt they needed in order to give it that clear and kind of technical kind of about the sort of how the, the data was presented. would you anticipate then we'll see other countries accepting it as well. presumably the standards of inspection in australia are high

enough and you to expect the countries to follow when you i do either the company's been holding back again, perhaps not feeling like they've seen enough data. then i think the tga here that therapy administrators will, in fact, you know, set a bit of a benchmark, sorry, face at a thought. i think other countries will look again if they're not already looking and, and that increases the chances that it will be more broadly recognised. faxing. i got quite excited going to this news of the bags go to australia, but then the disappointment of understand is only certain categories of people who applies to students. sports professionals. as i understand not necessarily holidaymakers. why does certain categorizations do you think? yes, i'm not way aware of fast. they've actually talked about their, the reasons for approving it, which really are based on that in fiction risk. usually when they do this, it's one. this actually then means it's recognized in anyone coming in at the moment. it may be more linked to our border rules around who can come in under that

category. because we've, what we've opened up the board is we still have some limitations in place. so i don't know that that's tied to the vaccine. i haven't heard about that specifically anyway, but it might just be a step as a then recognize the vaccines. but for all the others, it has been about it typically, international students say one group really impacted by the range of x, same thing offered around the world. and the limitations that could put on them in the countries they choose to study. but generally, when they have put out the rule, they are now recognizing as not, not approved for use in a trailer that recognize which means it does get people across the board. a board rule, the separate usually to the fact both, both rules are a different kettle of fish is not a joke of it's found out recently really appreciate your time. catherine, catherine bennett, is my guest cherry methodology deacon university. thanks so much. thank you. ok. now kevin pointed the finger of blame at moscow saying it was behind fridays.

months have cyber attack on ukrainian government websites and accusation. russia denies the fact brushes off as baseless became his tensions between russia and the u. s. of escalated, american media and officials, planning rushes, preparing a false flag operation and you try mosca slammed those allegations as well, noting that nato promises to detail. it's advances closer to russia that they have yet to be met. the u. s. national security advisor compared current events to the crank crisis of 8 years ago. we saw this playbook in 2014. they are preparing this playbook again and then, and we will have the administration will have further details on what we see across 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, shriek, news, and until it is proved somehow we'll continue to presume that it is fake news and it is a call physician. and we spoke with janice daniel lazar about the false flag allegation

. he says, claims rusher is sending subaltern into ukraine in his opinion. it's just propaganda, latest accusation by us and to the, 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 u. s. and a campaign that makes russia very nervous. so up, so as, as america trying to calm things down or trying to raise the, the war fears i look at if russian troops in advance of the borders of germany. i mean, western europe with the very concerned. and they would, they would demand some kind of. busy concession by the russian. but the now that nato is advanced of the borders of russia. somehow, nato can't understand what the fuss is all about. this is ridiculous.

billionaires ro in manhattan has the most expensive apartments in the world, costing hundreds of millions of dollars. yet property tax on them is only a fraction of their worth. and this adding to the growing problem of affordable housing in the city for the less well off auto corresponding kellum open, ripple's just 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 law. so it is a huge tax discrepancy. and that, you know, a lot of activists have been calling to end 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. 1 is the rich get richer and the for get for $430.00 to park avenue, both 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 that consists of 92 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 bare washer 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 to fix them. the $600000000.00 part. what department? taking advantage of all the assets of the new york city, but they're not paying the financial strain of accommodating billionaire housing goes even further. since the pandemic, new york city has lost much of its appeal, the ultra rich you're going elsewhere. central park tower has 89 percent of its apartments vacant according to the new york post. and all 7 of the buildings dubs billionaires ro, you've got a half of those 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. appreciate your company this monday morning watching our team to national the latest news headlines coming your way in 30 minutes. i . oh, driven by dreamer shapes bankers, those with dares sinks we dare to ask

ah, ah, ah, hello and welcome to crossed out. were all things are considered, i am peter level. there are many reports, u. s. intelligence warns of a russian false flag operation to provoke an invasion of ukraine to those of us who are skeptical this sure sounds like still another weapons of mass destruction conspiracy. barry also how bad could things get? ah to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guest. maxine shook off, he's director of the central for advanced american studies at moscow state institute of international relations. and we also have dmitri barbara, she is

a political analyst and editor, it interests me, internet media project for a gentleman cross that rules and effect, that means he can jump in any time you want. and i was appreciated. i was going to maxine 1st of max, you know, in lieu of my introduction here, i'd like to read some of the words from the national security advisor, jake sullivan. he said, russia is laying the groundwork to have the option of fabricating a pretext for an invasion, including to sabotage activities and information operations by accusing like using ukraine of preparing an imminent attack against russian forces in eastern ukraine. how do you replied that? because my introduction, i also mentioned weapons of mass destruction. 2003. go ahead. met, right. well, as were, remember, president putin promised to quote unquote, military technical response should be in nature. we know failed to address the proposals unsecure, to guarantees that the russian delegation put forward in geneva. and i think there is a lot of focus on the military comple.
