5:02 pm
the pictures don't quite show it, but some days protest saw thousands hit the streets that came right after the national assembly gave its blessing to the so named vaccination. it will mean only those who are a fully job will be allowed access to things like restaurants and cinemas. it replaces the current less strict health pass system under which a negative test was sufficient. and it's not only from stuff seen on rest recovered restrictions in the last few days. there had been major flare ups in the netherlands, greece and germany. ah, i
5:03 pm
really like to be in 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 cov, 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, there's very at 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,
5:04 pm
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 own display. since september 2018, we worked,
5:05 pm
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. we're 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. this is sam or refer to wave of cancellations, coupled with christmas, been cancelled. but definitely we 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,
5:06 pm
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 thought today of demonstration, thousands of people on the streets of vienna. people extremely unhappy with the measures that the austrian 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 are 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 laughs, long locked out, filling all the required applications for subsidies. coffee money require the help
5:07 pm
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, salary tutor. 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 ahmed, 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 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,
5:08 pm
nations are taking a number of very different causes when it comes to them trying to snuff out this latest wave of coven 19 peter oliver, while with a micron taking hold in the world. some countries such as denmark, they've begun administering a 4th faxing, now spokesperson for the world health organization was on the program earlier and talk just through the latest developments and indeed what's in front of us. well, what we see leaks is, is a critical increase in number of confessions around the world. and as we see on current becoming a dominant variance, we have seen in one week 50000000 newly factions, which is the absolute director, is the beginning of 50 percent increase from the previous sleep. so the sheer number of infections will bring more people to hospitals,
5:09 pm
even though one crew may prove less your disease then don't previous variance, 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 mac sees the countries are basically looking into how the function 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 and get this nice social issues. so you need to do that. however,
5:10 pm
we are trying to see why me is having any different periods or shutting of the virus period. than previous studies, we need some time time being my being offered 10 days, the isolation fortune to my cases. 2 weeks current time woke up and now these 2 weeks current, kennedy tucked down with the appropriate where are the mesh of 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 that is very much possible. that's why we want to how to prevent the deck ation. the biggest benefit is the primary. don't want to make sure everybody's with us cooling. the primary workstation is being available to
5:11 pm
everyone around the world. ah, the british prime minister barak johnson's popularity has hit an all time low over the so name party gates scandal. it is dominating the u. k. media with a string of revelations that by boozy get togethers at dining street at both johnson and damage control mode. i firing several suffers for allegedly breaking the law. i'm really tired. meanwhile, his ministers are seemingly trying to shift the minority with dramatic new policies . they include solutions to the migrant crisis for extra health care from the polishing military. the licensee, in addition to chorus johnson is promising to lift coven restriction policy, getting considerable public support. that comes as the any chance saves it's currently under extreme pressure due to the army cross wave reports of dining streets and digs cause widespread anger in the u. k. happening at the height of the
5:12 pm
2020 last on where we're even guard from attending funeral. so their loved ones on that point, alice test and created the campaign group names, not numbers. he funded after being unable to pay last respect to his brother. it happened the 1st way. it was the son of moscow. i didn't get to that, you know, i stayed in london my best suit and how about myself. and it's interesting to note on a day that the prime minister was having wine friday go out. the funeral. there's only about 4 people that yeah, it was very rushed. no way. it could've been easy for many people that could have been easy. can view it easy when i try my normal flight. this concept of got a hard job, so you need for why his job and he needs to hit the ball is resign. my thoughts
5:13 pm
are if, if this is the idea of leading seriously already wrong for us to stay at the country at the moment, the leaders giving us rules that we do are in standby, whereas the party gate isn't just a headache for the tories. photos emerge showing the leader of the u. k. opposition drinking beer with stuff during the 2021 spring locked on. although care stormer insist that he did nothing wrong. not like the p. m is 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
5:14 pm
conservative party don't find us argument, however, and accused him of hypocrisy, thoughts after storm or ridicule, the prime minister in parliament for the way he justified a downing street after work bash defense that he didn't realize he was at the party, but it is so ridiculous that is actually offensive to the pretty. yeah. with the whole country was look town. he was posting, who's the policy in downing street at 80 now going to do a decent thing and resign. well, i spoke with radio host john goal and he thinks politicians on 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 subarus staff seemed to be doing avenue right, booze up in garden. but he was inside the house. he was drinking beer and his
5:15 pm
excuse that they were having a chinese and therefore is a work meal is frankly ludicrous. these politicians are all the same, they make the rules, and they wanted 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 a soaring 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 boris, to get on top of the wealth of the world's top 10 richest people as doubled during the pandemic. but as the poor across the world continue to suffer due to a lack of treatment and vaccines, those are the findings of a new reports by the oxfam, charity called inequality kills. which claims policy choices by governments are skewed in favor of the one percent. to well,
5:16 pm
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 ok, sam has been tracking billionaire wealth for some time and of course the forbes list shows that it has been growing over the last 14 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, or 99 percent of humanity, it's been a very, very difficult time. and most people are worse off as
5:17 pm
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 their 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 an 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 that inequality, so, and the poorest countries in africa, in general, only 10 percent of the population has had its 1st course of vaccination. so that
5:18 pm
means that they still and they're taking much longer for they're covered with response and their recovery from the economic downturn, which means that unfortunately the trend is said to widen. if we don't act, ah, another story that bring you today, a right wing presidential candidate in france has been fine, 10000 euro after a court found him guilty of hate speech. eric is a mirror, has rejected the ruling calling it a crackdown 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 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 had in to that presidential election in just
5:19 pm
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 a 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 euro 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 to once again, i am the object and the victim of political justice. i'm condemned for incitement for complicity the incident. but the complexity of the formula used is too much to
5:20 pm
understand. i know that these immigrants like unaccompanied children and not a race in arizona. 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 followed the 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.
5:21 pm
there are and how 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 twice before. and there have been around 16 investigations into send and 3 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 the most views, what is absolutely clear, cannot be disputed, is the fact that when he discusses 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,
5:22 pm
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 put too much exclusively on right 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. the berlin has condemned e u plans to re brand gas nuclear energy. as green fuels. germany is economic and environmental ministers didn't hold back when offering their thoughts. labeling, nuclear energy as sustainable is wrong, given its high risk technology. this is more than worrying. i find it completely wrong that the european commission is intending to classify nuclear energy as
5:23 pm
a sustainable economic activity. a 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. some background to all this, the statements come after the european commission published a draft proposal which suggest classifying gas nucular 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 a d. e use desire to go green. the activity is covered in this complementary. delegated act would accelerate the phase out of more harmful sources, such as co and in moving us towards a more low carbon green energy mix. chairman of a local alternative for germany party branch, reiner rough us,
5:24 pm
he is of the few. the countries economy actually needs nucular 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 a 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,
5:25 pm
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 ahead of the 2022 us mid term elections. the democrats in particular are facing many challenges according to recent polls. half of the respondents feel frustrated and disappointed with jo biden's presidency. that's as cases of the new army kron variance surge and inflation remains sky. hi, ortiz killer, my pin joint as lie for more all not good to see killed. not exactly. i would suggest that type of bedtime reading joe biden, once with those mid terms looming. sure. that cbs news, paul, that was recently published, showed 40 percent of residence,
5:26 pm
saying that biden's presidency made them feel nervous while just 25 percent said they felt call more satisfied with biden's presidency. in addition to that, 75 percent said they felt that the country was doing either somewhat or very badly in a general sense. now they gave biden quite a low rating on a number of issues. issues like the economy, immigration, race, relations, crime, inflation policing, and afghan. a stan respondents were split when it came to jo biden's, coven, 19 response, 49 percent said he was doing a good job. 51 percent said he was doing poorly. now there was another poll quinn, a pe at poll that was released that revealed a player polar polarity of americans believe biden is doing more to divide the country than to united. the poll showed 58 percent believe that the nation's danger democracy is in the danger of collapse. so 76 percent believe political instability
5:27 pm
in the united states is a greater danger to the country while only 19 percent said that other countries and adversaries of the usaa is a r, a bigger danger. now the poll was conducted through the 7th of 10th the 7th through the 10th of january, the anniversary of the january 6 capital riot, which congressional democrats have commemorated with. there's been a series of speeches, biden himself gave a speech. it's important to note that biden seems to have said on a couple occasions that the united states is the country that has rehabilitated itself the fastest from the pandemic. this is what joe biden said. mark is the only leading economy in the world. were household incomes and the economy as a whole, are stronger than they were before the pandemic. much predicted crisis didn't occur . packages are moving. gifts are being delivered. shelves are not empty.
5:28 pm
now joe biden is, of course not the only elected official at a national level who is within the democratic party. there are other voices within the democratic party that have said a slew of other interesting things. clearly the current strategies failing and we need a major course correction. it seems like the democrats can't get out of their own way. the democrats have got to do a better job of being clear on what they're trying to do. now in november, americans will go to the polls and vote in the mid term elections. and if things continue as they currently are, there could be some serious setbacks for the democratic party to say the least. thanks particulars through all about our tease, kill about them. a deeper dive into all those stories this hour, it can be fine. just a click away on r t dot com. all was fresh content lively discussions to be fun there. goodbye.

when he asked her about the fake aspects to the c p i number the actual inflation number is exactly what we said. months ago. it's 15 percent. people's purchasing power is degrading. 15 percent wages might be up 3 or 4 percent, but i'm licensed now. 15 percent on net net people are losing out really losing out . and it's a problem that is intractable because the central bank has a problem that they can't rectify. they can't if they were going to raise right, stacy to rectify this problem. they would have done so already. the reason they're not doing so i was because they were simply can't raise right there is i cure for this. this is now at the beginning of a hyper inflationary collapse. the money with,
