ah, both a coed protests are wrapped in europe. other countries, rochester, new restrictions making the lives of vaccine hesitant people ever more complicated or scientist, protect all may cromwell rapidly become the dominant strain of co globally. this year, the world health organization tells us medics are going to get the little relief a increase the number of nations around the world as we see on the current because you get the dominant area. so the share in fractions will remove people to put it in a quality killed. so phase of the world 10 richest people are fun to have double. there are. well, during the pandemic,

much of the global population struggle to get access to even basic fighting healthcare. we hear from the director of the chart and then from a presidential candidate, it's my apologies of bureau for comments deemed as hate speech recognition more himself claims. he's become the victim of political injustice. having that court should be cleared of ideology with just a few moment into a brand new day here in moscow, tuesday, january the 18th. welcome to the news. our on our front is leading europe once again in terms of daily co bed case loads, clocking up more than 270000 infections in a 24 hour period. the figures come as anger over the micron government's new vaccination pass was vented across paris

the when the pictures don't quite show it, but sundays protest saw scholars and hit the streets that came right after the national assembly gave its blessing to the pseudonym vaccination. it will mean only those who are a fully job will be allowed access to things like restaurants and cinema. that replaces the current less strict health system under which a negative test or sufficient. and it's not only from stuff seen on rest over koby restrictions in the past few days. there would be major flu or in the netherlands, greece and germany. ah, i

like when 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. 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 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 of his most own display. since september 2018, we worked,

providing people not only with food services, but we also hold cultural events, birthdays and celebrations 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. i know now was dried up the same as the number of birthday celebrations and events, especially with elderly people. december referred to waive cancellations, coupled with christmas being 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 missiles by children saying that they wanted substantial protection against cove at 19, in 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 australia, over the weekend, we saw a nova softer date of demonstration. thousands of people on the streets of vienna. people extremely unhappy with the measures that the austrian government have 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, a taking them pretty much to the wall killer elderly. it's definitely extremely sad . we had to remain shut down for half a year during the last long locked down, filling all the required applications for subsidies. coffee money require the help

of tax consultants and every new lockdown. new applications, new subsidies. it's exhausting. sometimes help comes extremely late, some people and upon the rocks. after all of it, himself syracusa, i played full financial support during the 1st wave, but my application wasn't even onset. i think they've just been overloaded, but it can't work 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 his 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 has drawn 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 coven 19. well, with army kron taking hold in the world. some countries such as denmark have begun, administering a 4th vaccine spokesperson for the world health organization talk to us through the latest developments and what's in front of us. well, what we see leaks is, is the increase in number of confessions around the world. and as we see on current becoming a dominant variance, we have seen in one we 50000000 new infections, which is the absolute direct versus the beginning of 50 percent increase from the previous sleep. so the sheer number of infections will bring more people to

hospitals, even though may prove less your disease then don't that and previous periods, but these numbers are low. we will need more pressure on how system. so it is very dangerous situations. the country are trying to find the best way to, to reduce the risk of transmission. we know what needs to be done. so we hope that people have not been oxygenated, will be max, and they can become effective mostly those who have not have their primary series of axes. gentry's are basically looking into how there's an option that we can completely understand the government trying to find the ways to balance the public health side of the story and public health benefits . i don't get this nice social issues so you need to do that. however,

we are trying to see what the current is having any different vision period or shutting of the virus period than previous dose studies. we need some time time being we are still being offered 10 days. the installation fortune to my case is 2 weeks current time woke up and now these 2 weeks current, kennedy tucked down with the appropriate well, already mentioned the scene in equity, and this is still a problem again, who says boosters may come for extra benefit and we are looking into data now, and it is very much possible that for want me to how to prevent the deck ation. the biggest benefit is the primary. don't you want to make sure everybody's with us cooling?

the primary workstation is being available to everyone around the world. british prime minister boris johnson has not had a great place. his popularity has had an all time low over the so called party gates gamble. it's dominating the u. k. media with a string of revelations about boozy, get togethers at dining street. it's paul johnson in damage control mode firing several software for allegedly breaking last time it is. mobile ministers are seemingly trying to shift the narrative with some dramatic new policy sitting solutions to the migrant crisis, extra healthcare funding, another polishing the tv license. in addition or as johnson is promising to lift cobit restrictions, a policy getting considerable public support that comes as the essays it's currently under extreme pressure due to the on the chrome wave reports of dining st . shindig, have cause widespread anger in the u. k. now putting out the height of the 2020 lot,

when people are even barred from attending funerals of their loved ones. and let's tustin is the founder of campaign group names, not numbers. he was unable to pay his last respects to his grandfather. this happened in the 1st way, so it was the sunday masjid. i didn't get that, you know, i stayed in london my best suit and how to know about myself. and it's interesting to note on a day that the prime minister was having wine fridays ago. the feudal, there's only about 4 people that yeah, it was very rough. no way. couldn't have been easy for many people. it could've been easy because you want to strive normally like this concept, the hard jobs. i mean why? and he saw the job and he needs to hit the ball at the end. resign my you know,

we got from the fire if, if this is the idea of leading seriously already wrong, fresh out about the state of the country at the moment. the leaders giving us rules that we do are you in standby, and whereas they call themselves well, party gate isn't just a headache for the tories. a photo as emerge showing the leader of the u. k. opposition drinking beer with staff during the 2021 spring locked on. although curious, dormer insists he did nothing wrong. like the pm, his refusing to apologize. just days before the election, we've been very busy working in the office. we stopped for something to eat and then we carried on working no party, no breach of the rules, and absolutely no comparison with the prime minister. it members of the ruling conservative party. don't find that argument, whoever and accuse him of hypocrisy, dots after storm or ridicule,

the prime minister in parliament for the way he justified the dunning street after work. punch says to says that he didn't realize he was at a party. ha, it is so ridiculous that he is actually offensive to the prayer with the whole country was locked down. he was posting boozy parties in town express, easy, now go to to to decent thing and resign. i spoke with radio host john gaunt. he thinks politicians and both sides are absolutely failing to live by example. but anyway, the country needs to focus on more pressing issues was a smell. it's the stench of hypocrisy. obviously, he wasn't doing what a lot support staff seem to be enduring avenue, right. booze up in garden, but he was inside the house. he was drinking beer and his excuse that they were having a chinese and therefore his work meal is frankly ludicrous. these politicians are

all the same. they make the rules and they want to act in a certain way, but they don't want the rules to apply to them. but there are many things. now we need to move on. things like assuring inflation and the job losses that are going to be around the corner. let's talk about the migrant problem as well at dover. let's talk about law and order. they, they're the things that the british public now won't boorish to get on top of the wealth of the world's top 10 riches people has doubled during the panoramic bounce as the per across the world continue to suffer due to a lack of treatment and vaccines. those are the findings of a new report by the oxfam, charity called inequality kills. which claims policy choices by governments are skewed in favor of the one percent dwell for the wells at 10, the richest man has doubled. since the pandemic began the incomes of 99 percent of

humanity, a worse off because of coven, 19 widening, economic gender, and racial inequalities, as well as the inequality that exists between countries a tearing our world apart. this is not by chance, but choice. economic violence is perpetrated when structural policy choices are made for the richest and most powerful people. this causes direct harm to us, all the fan they make has really exposed inequalities and fuel them. so oxide has been tracking billionaire wealth for some time, and of course the forbes list shows that it has been growing over the last 40 years . but over the last 2 years it's been really exponential. so we call it a billionaire bonanza. and at the other end of the spectrum, of course, for 99 percent of humanity. it's been a very, very difficult time. and most people are worse off as a result of the pandemic. of course, more than a 160000000 people have fallen into poverty during this time. and it's in

a moment when you can see the difference is really showing very, very starkly. we can't cause success when there is such disparity, that at one end of the spectrum, you have people who have more wealth than they can spend in several lifetimes. and at the other, we have people struggling to pay their next health bill or, or not knowing where the next meal is coming from. having such a level of disparity affects everyone, even the wealthiest, because you know, and it's a sign of an unhealthy state of affairs, of a unhealthy society that needs addressing. and one of those key drivers for inequality has been a vaccine access to vaccines. so the difference between rich and poor countries has grown, but inequality. so and the poorest countries in africa, in general, only 10 percent of the population has had his 1st course of vaccination. so that means that they still and they're taking much longer for their cove. it with a response and their recovery from the economic downturn,

which means that unfortunately the trend is set to widen. if we don't act now it's maybe those big profits that saw the alter rich snap are properties in a new york nearby hood known as billionaires ro. but it turns out that the owners are paying just the fraction of the tax being charged. the low income residents, and they're also driving up close for everyone else. you're short to kill a barbara with more. 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 easiest. 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 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 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, both 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 resident 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 repair foster gases to hi my surgery for garbage right now. and i can't find anything really, in my opinion, for me, for less than $40000.00 problem to, to speak to them. this is a $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. the, let's take you back to europe now where i right wing presidential candidate in france has been fined 10000 euro after a court found him guilty of hate speech. eric somewhere has rejected the ruling calling it a crack done on free speech. we once an end to this system which every day tightens the noose on the freedom of expression and democratic debate, this system manufactures the crime of opinion on an industrial scale. there is an urgent need to drive ideology out of the courts. justice must become justice again . well, that certainly how eric seymour would see this. he is the bad boy of french politics,

particularly as we head into that presidential election in just a few months. he's now been slapped down once again. so what did he say that was at so exclusive, here in france? well, when he was speaking on that show back in september of 2020, he was talking about unaccompanied miners. so children who come here illegally and many of which are living on the streets in france, particularly here in paris, and he described them as being thieves as killers and as rapists. now those comments were seized on by number of organizations who made a complaint, and of course, it's now gone all the way through the courts. eric's in war has been reacting to that decision by the court to find him 10000 euros, saying that what this is, his condemnation of free spirit at by a judicial system which he is described as being invaded by idealogues objectively . tim, once again, i am the object and the victim of political justice. i'm condemned for incitement

for complicity in the incident. but the complexity of the formula used is too much to understand. i know that these immigrants like unaccompanied children and not a race resorted. well. eric seymour also says he stands by his comments and he is due to appeal that fine by the court. and then he went on to say that from his perspective, that the majority of saying mobile phones after it took place here in fonts were being carried out by these unaccompanied miners. he says he's also got a really busy legal agenda at the moment and he said that's because they, when he means they, he means the ruling elite or trying to demonize him to try and silence him. however, there was other reaction to that decision by the court on monday, and this came from the lawyer who represented the 30 or so organizations that originally fall as a complaint against what he said. if it's, you know, it's definitely an important decision because we want him to understand that we

won't accept it. we need him to understand that there are human rights defenders. there are entire race s. we need him to know that we will stand up against a political project aimed at destroying the legacy of the french revolution and the enlightened me an error. now, it's not the 1st time that the more has been convicted of hate speech. in fact, he's been convicted of this twice before, and there have been around 16 investigations into incendiary remarks that he's made particular topic such as immigration and on islamic. he has plenty to say about both of those subjects. now whether you agree or disagree with this was fuse. what is absolutely clear and cannot be disputed is the fact that when he discussed his topics, it is something that becomes an explosive debate to install. some people pay attention . and as a result of that, when he announced his candidacy for the presidential election just a few months ago, he surged in the polls automatically. what his voice is done, what you like the contribution or not it's pushed the debate towards the right wing

agenda. and some would say that that he's even pushed present, calling his traditional like to be part of the center debate to the right with policies that he's made and policies he will be campaigning on in this election. so this is an election that is going to fall pretty much exclusively on white wing issues, and that is partly due to voices like eric's more no doubt. his support has since he 1st came on to the waves and said, i want to be the president. but the reality is, he's shaking up the political debate here in france, and he's certainly a voice that we will hear a lot of in the next few months. ok, moving across the border from there, berlin has condemned the plans to re brown guess. nuclear energy as green fuels, germany's economic and environmental ministers did not hold back when offering their thought, labeling, nuclear energy as sustainable is wrong, given it's high risk technology. this is more than worrying. i find it completely

wrong that the european commission is intending to classify nuclear energy as a sustainable economic activity of form of energy that on one hand can lead to devastating environmental disasters. and on the other hand, leave is behind large amounts of dangerous highly radioactive waste can not be sustainable. while just some background on this, the statements come after the european commission published a draft proposal which suggest classifying gas and nuclear as climate friendly energy sources. it's gain momentum, thanks to natural gas, hyperinflation, and energy prices, hitting homes and industry across the continent. the commission justified the proposal by claiming it would actually aid the use desire to go green. the activities covered in this complementary delegated act would accelerate the phase out of more harmful sources, such as co and moving us towards a more low carbon green energy mix, while chairman of

a local alternative for germany branch, reiner rough 1st said that countries the economy actually needs nuclear energy. nuclear power is a vital source of energy for our country for the years to come. because what we don't need and what all the germans fear is the complete disruption of the n s. she prohibition system with the danger of black out it's, i would say a matter of ideology, much of the public view on this topic depends of course on media. i would say painting off the topic nuclear power plants have been dealt as an environmental problem for quite some time. and the only solution for the energy

transmission have been well seen and shown, and propagated in renewable energy. but more and more people seem to understand that the transition aims to 100 percent renewable energy cheese will not be able to meet. so i to a topic. i certainly didn't know much about being a child genius. about what are short docs, the price of success is all about something with a with

a, [000:00:00;00] a better way of survival guide, which they feel like all the storage and the pedal with the rest is 7 years. so with the report, oh your may i am i yes,

the order of these she is. i am now alyssa, typical. there's only 9, but already a university students. she could well be the most famous and talked about child in russia. now i think i am lisa's brothers and sisters are way ahead in their studies to some might even try to get into the university earlier. my daughter was only one when they took off had a news. i had to wonder if give to children were the products of very early studies or just had a natural gift coach. you should you teach chemistry to a 4 year old. and what about other people who has kids were so far ahead of other children their age? are they more successful now? to seek an answer i met some child prodigy and adults who had been described as prodigies. don't local choose to scramble to call them, but okay, but the actual only day i feel clear thought under sure freedom which is questioning today because i don't want to sketch push through them. you know,
