the u. s. markets are going to reopened, like the old times, fully open their doors. the global markets will follow suit and there's others that expects over conditions next year. as the fed tapers off, it's easy monetary policy and as it continues to address rising inflation. so here's the broad answer. nobody really knows, but there's a lot to keep an eye on. you have fed tapering interest rate, hikes, coven covariance electric vehicles, inflation, energy, prices, unemployment, geo, politics, travel, tourism. and even here in new york city, we have a new mayor coming in and his policy alone can change how big businesses, small businesses and even wall street reacts. and he's also a big fan of crypto. so there's another topic to keep an eye on as well. plenty to look forward to our nostradamus, james sweeney in new york. have a happy new year. thank you very much. i be new you now to some of the other global business stories making news. president ottawa has urged tucks to keep their savings in lira and said recent exchange rank volatility was under control. the laye

will health experts in the u. s. a warning of what they call and on the kron blizzard. they've told americans to prepare for severe disruptions in coming weeks. the rising wave of coven 19 laid by the on the chrome variant is threatening to overwhelm hospital schools and other key infrastructure. reco numbers of children have been hospitalized and authorities are preparing to authorize booster shots for 12 to 15 year olds next week, or more on this on joint by side, oma, who's the director of the yale institute for global health in new haven. professor, thanks for talking to us and american epidemiologist as warning of a viral blizzard in the us in the coming weeks. do you say that way? yes, it's more like a flash flood that we are expecting in the sense that it is likely to have a we are likely to have a further increase in the number of cases, but hopefully based on the pattern from other countries, this um deluge will be short lived in the sense that it will not last 4 months and months. the question is whether and where it overwhelmed the health system of that is a

and the u. s . is set another new record for data cove infections with maybe 650000 people testing positive in the past day. or time square and new york city is one of the most famous place in the well to ring in the media. but the pandemic because once again, cattail plans for the hurting local businesses, trying to bounce back from covert related closures. cable is only reports from time square on a recent day, a jasmine's caribbean restaurant. the staff were busy getting ready for what they hoped would be a bustling dinner crowd. the restaurant which opened a year ago is in the heart of times square, and christmas and new years are usually one of the busiest times of the year. but with new york now the u. s. epicenter of the coven outbreak, owner jasmine gerard says there is a problem for all business. i mean, we are suffering at this time right now. i mean, for me, thank the lord. i was able to open up in the pandemic and i had an opportunity to do so. but everyone is really struggling, and we d

the m and untrammelled aggression of the imperial estates in the u. s. are leading the charge and their desire to take back control of all the places in the world that had in some way resisted them. their domination and their total exploitation. and subjugation. and the defeat in afghanistan is, is huge. you know, 20 years of money material and resources failed to subdue the afghan people. and it's interesting that he talked about, you know, china colluding with the us because really we're saying the exact opposite that the primary targets of their iowa and the, and the aggression all the usa in the imperialist are russia and china precisely because they don't submit. they stand up for themselves and for their people and for their own independence and for their own right to sovereignty and, and to, and to run their countries in the way that their people see fit. and um, china and russia and china in particular, when it comes to afghanistan, o flooring, many countries and it's one of the reasons they, they come in for so much higher from the usa. they off

can i start by asking you about developments there in the u. s. states like your can the district of columbia, which actually had high vaccination rates. now seeing a steep rise in infections. you bracing yourself january? yeah, thanks for having me. this is a very good question. i think the whole of us is bracing ourselves of what, how further bad it can become us. for example, pediatric hospitalization in new york city as actually a one year high. and the pediatric hospitalizations are still climbing and may exceed original spring. a 2020 possible ation rate in new york city. if the trend keeps going up and throughout the whole country, you know, including in the, in florida where they previously just recently had a very strong delta way burned through hospitalizations or climbing their to altogether were in for a really rough january. even if some cases, some predict cases may fall by mid january hospitalizations will still continue climb and that overwhelming the hospital system and, and many other services will be what will actually crush

but also warned that the u. s . and allies will continue to monitor all actions by russia and also maintained that they are ready for all steps that vladimir putin could make when it comes to ukraine plots. mr. martin talked about reinforced nato strength and said that ukraine will get extra military assistance from the lines. should the situation escalate? now it's really worth mentioning that this phone call falls proposals made by moscow for european security and stability. and one of the major points that goes making one of the things that russia really wants is at legal guarantees by the nato countries that the aligns wouldn't expand further east. that new weapons wouldn't be deployed at russia's doorstep at now. also, we do have to understand that in about 2 weeks, crunch talks on a european security will be held in geneva and we heard from both sides. the 2 leaders won't take part. however, they will be supervising the talks personally. now a little earlier we heard from the russian foreign ministry spokeswom

the u. s. never managed to put a democratic framework in place as terrorism and violent crime convulsed to rock. u . s. troops pulled out in 2011, only to return 3 years later as the so called islamic state threatened to take over . washington, lead and international coalition, and declared i. s. defeated in 2017. now, american combat troops and leaving again most to rockies, a glad to see them go and keep plaza having. of course, i want the americans out, we need to be independent. we can't have foreigners occupying our great country do then. and what the, the occupiers must leave iraq, they've honda. so i'm a shock in the u. s. withdrawal could provide iran with an opening and embolden i. s. so washington is replacing combat troops with military advisors. many believe the american presence in iraq will barely change. oh, as we approach the end of the year, let's take a look back now. at one of our more one of our more remarkable stories of 2021. it came from france where authorities published

she found out the u. s. president was spying on her. right. that's. and how did she take that? not. well, you can imagine when i interviewed the american ambassador in berlin at the time, john emerson. and he said that that was a wasted year between berlin and washington. and the result of that that really unnecessary tapping which by the way, got them nothing because macro being as suspicious as she was anything and through our cell phone beyond what, where are we going for dinner? 8 so they got nothing and they succeeded in, in deeply offending her. she, when obama visited her kind of make up call, she took him out to the balcony which, which is off or her former office in the chancellor. and she pointed to the residence of the wall, there, the terrible wall that had kept her prisoner for 35 years. and she said, now do you see why this, this has so upset me and my people, because we live behind behind, we were prisoners, right? the, the state a copy, one of the reasons i wanted to talk about this book was not just because of angle apparent medical who stepping out and, and his his

s. t. r official, under bush and clinton, and our very own holland cook, host of the big picture right here. and as to the news on our to america fair project, thanks for joining me. there yeah, i know i to 2 big issues that we're dealing with here, steve, you're new on a says you kind of get picked on 1st. i apologize. i'm sorry you, it's president biden doing this just for the sake of fighting human rights violations. no, it's all about show he's trying to act like he's worried about human rights violations. because as you pointed out, the human rights violations have been tearing for a long time. and even during previous administrations, he's trying to look tough because he hasn't been tough and, and this kind of pho boycott isn't going to have any real impact on improving relations with china or improving our stature in defending relations with taiwan. with the other asian nations that we're trying to do business with, it's all for show what's obviously you're talking about talking abou

c, the estimates that by the end of this year, the u. s. could consume over 33000000000 kilograms of meat products. when you consider the global impact of eating meat or water supply. should we be talking about this in terms of policy is that is the individual dietary decision conversation almost beside the point. yes, we hear about climate wars and climate change all the time. but what we really have to talk about too is, is imagine if water goes out, we're gonna have water wars and that is extreme. we can't live without water within 2448 hours, climate change. this gradual thing that we can have these technologies that we can combat them, but we want to run out of fresh water. now we're talking about serious, serious atrocity that that is so scared even talk about the water wars and water change and the, the water shortage is a very, very urgent. and again, it all comes back to ya, our choice of eating animals raising, killing animals. so if we want to align ourselves with these missions, the 1st thing we have to do is look in the man sai

it looks like the u. s. in the military. industrial complex is looking to to increase the conflict in ukraine. nato is already expanded into many countries. there are numerous countries on the, on a, on the border that, that were part of the soviet union. and there are no part of nato. so, given the proximity of ukraine to, to russia, given the proximity to moscow, only 460 miles that the russian demands. the red lines are completely understandable. from nato's tense relationship with russia to finding solutions to the coven pandemic, we've been speaking with the hungarian foreign minister early today to get the you perspective on some of the main events that shaped the past year. for our central europeans. it's extremely important that east and west that the united states and the russian federation have a direct and continuous dialogue. we are very happy with the fact that the 2 presidents spoke again for nato. and there i shall talk to each other and then there's a much bigger and better hope for any kind

record numbers of covet infections are, again being reported though the u. s. as nearly 650000 people tested positive in the past day. while some cities in france, including capital powers, have now made moscow mandatory outside. and then in india, daily infections of more than doubled there in the past week, more than 16000 new cases reported on friday. highest number of daily cases since october a mayor in colorado says he saw houses exploding before his eyes as the west state battled. some of its most destructive wildfires on record. almost 600 homes have been destroyed, with tens of thousands of people forced to flee their neighborhoods to towns near. danville were hardest hit by the fires which came on usually late in the year and more find by high winds or but in manly reports. this is the moment a huge fire came rolling down the foothills of boulder, county and colorado. the false moving blaze engulfed hundreds of homes. local say they haven't experienced anything like it. you know, this is the 1st time i've really been involved in anything like this and

but let's walk down pennsylvania avenue ah, the u. s. capital building under c cannot. however, tara, from our responsibility to validate with joseph robinson by your new songs, long notions of what is known to guilty is always just mia mas democrats. he elected leadership retained, as the military staged, a bit of a general thought of a bit bloodless qu. they couldn't have been more wrong. taliban has taken over the final departure of the u. s. military after 20 years. i believe this was the right decision. a violent day over dangerous days still ahead. no well in gaza, feel safe, right? i'll just 0 will not be silenced. ah, didn't about him is ripping around the world. you see there right? by the present via black of political will. selfishness and most of us. the new all the comb very and to spread it. 2022 must be the year we end the funding for the code read at a much pro. well, there is no planet b, there is no sign of blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah, i'm deeply sorry. ah, they see up in government, us call the fight against particular levels and like the

joe biden problems his that the u. s . won't deploy offensive strike weapons in ukraine during our long conversation with posted main time, from tensions of nato to the energy prices and cove. it we've told coming up to the hungarian foreign minister about some of the defining moments of 2021 and determined to say in 2022 with a buying germans, banned from buying fireworks for a 2nd year because a cove it flow to poland, that to keep the party going with hello there. welcome to ortiz, will these at 10 from moscow with me, kevin know and, and 1st with some of the holiday spirit in mind, the russian and us leaders of indicated that.

they reject any u. s. foothold in iraq. no matter what the role is, a pro iranian onward group sounded this warning, and the mulatto hurtled. what the in her to it in any u. s. military prisons in the country is considered an occupation, but we will go by asked number 51 of the ring charter, which gives nations the right to resist any military presence on valence. the 4 we will take up arms and fight them along as we did before, harry, on the telephone, the conflict has escalated since the killing of a rainy commander classroom sleigh manny. now boom, adding more hand is a leader of iraq. so popular mobilization forces and he as the june attack need, but that a port last january that triggered the iraq's house of representatives to pass a resolution demanding the old foreign troops leave the country u. s. personnel along with coalition forces used several military bases across iraq . since the u. s. led invasion in 2003 to depose saddam hussein. the foreign forces played a major role in the fight against i. sil, which occup

thanks for having me on while staying in the u. s. and health experts are warning of what they call an army crohn blizzard. if told americans to prepare for severe disruptions in the coming weeks, the rising wave of coven 19 laid by the on the crown variant is threatening to overwhelm hospitals, their schools, and other key infrastructure. reco numbers of children have been hospitalized. and authorities are preparing to authorize booster shots for 12 to 15 year olds next week. when we talk to the side, oh my, he's the director of the yale institute for global health and asked him about possible solutions to stop covered runing. another year we have tools at our disposal around the world. we have highly effective vaccines, especially against severe disease. we have a pretty substantial supply of high quality mass. we have understood more about the modes of transmission of the wires, and we know that good ventilation and good filtration helps. so it is the deployment of those tools that will in for a sustainable control of this virus in

even as the u. s. influence wayne's? yeah, i think by agreeing to this trade a deal, i think it's a mess. those outside the tent, namely the u. s. that east asia and south east asia are willing to move on trade with or without the support of the u. s. and i think it's very important for you to reflect upon itself and figure out what its policy is going for on economics and on trade. more generally speaking, jan, how is this our step deal different from the trans pacific partnership deal or t p. p. as it's knowing which involved the u. s. in which they tried to get off the ground, but then they pulled out of right. so i think that's a good starting point. the t p p is no longer what it was. it's now the c p t, v p, which is se significantly watered down version of what the u. s. had initially proposed now after it pulled out. and so, but still, even in this watered down form, it is a much more ambitious agreement than that. we have with us the, the membership of asset is so diverse. you have very rich countries like singa

this new year's eve from moscow, joe biden promise, is that the u. s. vote. deploy offensive strike weapons in ukraine during an hour long conversation with me while from 10 shouldn't over nato to the energy crisis uncovered. we talked to the hungarian foreign minister about some of the defining moments of 2021 and told me to say in 2022 with a bang germans band from buying fireworks for a 2nd year. because a cobit flock, the pole, to keep the party going with . hello there. welcome to ortiz world music, 9 for moscow. with me, kevin, how it 1st thing with some of the holiday spirit in mind. the russian than us leaders of indicator.

and so now you have this in the u. s. and then now we're dealing with europe with companies like volkswagen continent tal siemens. all of them have recently come out with state. they've come out with statements saying that it's not about the supply chain. they're, they're trying to sort of keep out of the issue. so it's, it's, it's clearly going to be a major factor for european companies. so pressure from european companies and u. s. companies, it's china starting to look else where it's focused on trade. well, a lot of this, i think china is still really wants the technology that european companies can offer, particularly on the, on the industry side. on, on the u. s. side is much more of the tech side, you know, there's another, there's another debate we could have about how you're being companies. i haven't just are not at the races when it comes to tech. but and yeah, i think, i think there they still need this tech so, and they also, but nothing we should keep in mind is that they have rules as well. that companies

ah, the u. s. capital building under c cannot. however, tara, from our responsibility to validate with joseph robinson by your new songs where notions of what just is not guilty, is always just me. i'm on democratically elected leadership retained as the military stage to cruise. the general thought of a bit bloodless qu, they couldn't have been more wrong. the taliban has taken over the final departure of the u. s. military up to 20 years. i believe this is the right to switch a violent day over dangerous days still ahead. nowhere in gaza feel safe flight, i'll just 0 will not be silenced. didn't about him is ripping around the world. you see that right? and that by the tragedy of the lack of political will selfishness and music from us . the new all the cone very and to spread it. 2022 must be the year we end the funding code. read at a much road. no planet. there is no sign of blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah blah. i'm deeply sorry. ah the philippine government thus called the fight against that security rebels. unofficial fax

s. do you see the american people actually grasping on and looking more towards electric vehicles as their motive? transportation? i hope so. and i think that what's important to us in america is it's, it's important to the market decide those things right now. many electric cars are very expensive and so you have the very wealthy people who are buying them and their early adopters. great. that's that. that's how that has to work. i think if the average american family worked drive and all lectric su be and it cost about $45000.00, let's say i think they would like it. i think they would really be impressed with the way that they drive. but we're not quite there yet. so the adoption rates will pick up, but that's going to happen gradually over time. by this time next year, they'll probably be at least 10 all new battery only electric cars for sale versus what's available today. and do you see that infrastructure actually growing out? because one of the big things obviously is charging an

steve clemens dives headlong into the u. s. issues that shape the rest of the world. as we enter the 3rd year with covey 19, we go back to woo hm. where it all began and investigate how far we've come since the pandemic january on a, just a year. lou ah. new year's celebrations in the shadow of cove and 19 vista is thailand ringing in 2022. ah. hi there. kim vanelle. this is al jazeera alive from dough ha. also coming up, walk around of ours cases. surge globally, south africa sees a fall allowing restrictions to be east. while that a 100 were hang a refugees drifting for days as see her towed to.

the u. s. age of colorado is battling some of the most destructive wildfires on record. hundreds of homes have been destroyed, forcing tens of thousands of people from their homes to towns near denver. our hardest hit with the situation is described as life threatening nor burn mandy reports. this is the moment a huge fire came rolling down the foothills of boulder, county and colorado. the false moving blaze engulfed hundreds of homes. local say they haven't experienced anything like it. you know, this is the 1st time i've really been involved in anything like this and i'll tell you it is really scary and things in the trees. oh, they're all up and flames like there's embers everywhere. so it makes me very frightened, of course, with the wind. it's going to continue to spread to other homes, strong winds, and dry conditions of fueling the flames. if this will say, some of the fires was sparked by falling power lines, which it nighted prairie grosses estates were emergencies being declared a

s. i believe it has changed. now if you're asymptomatic, you just have to isolate for 5 days. england is, is 7 days the rest of the u. k. 10 days. usina, we're on from the still 14 days. why is there? is there such a difference? do you think as does everyone not agree on the science? i think everyone does agree on the science. the trick is changing the science into public policy, which there is no good for which there is no single answer. we could strive for the best public health policy that would be 14 days that would reduce transmission the most. but we have to see what's practical public policy has to be accepted by the culture, by the nations, by the population in which it's introduced. and here in the united states, people have wanted to take off their masks, go out and about travel. and so people have said ok, maybe we can do this for 5 days. that will reduce most of the transmission. not perfect, but it will be acceptable by the population and let the economic, cultural, social, and religious life of the

the u. s. president joe biden, and his russian counterpart vladimir putin had discussed russia's troop, build up near the ukrainian border. biden demanded at d escalation and threatened russia with new sanctions, but putin worn such measures would cause a complete disruptor of ties. despite their differences, both sides agree that progress was made only call people in south africa or streaming into cape towns cathedral for a 2nd day to pay their respects to. archbishop desmond tutu anglican clerics carried his coffin into saint george's cathedral, where the former nobel peace laurie at once railed against apartheid to 2 died last sunday. at the age of 90 and some and uplifting news on the pandemic from south africa. government officials say it's possible that the country it may be passed the peak of the army kron variant which was 1st attacked their last month. it was feared sick patients would overwhelm the health care system. but that didn't happen instead, hospitalization, rates decreased

it's obvious why the u. s. government ah, was classifying these reports because there was always the concern that they might represent technologies that other nations possess and pose a and national security risk. but them from the point of view of science, what we would like to understand is, are there unusual phenomena that represent perhaps something else? and for that purpose, all we need to do is deployed the very best cameras and audio since source in the same locations. and record everything we see, you know, you see science is about reproducibility of results. you have to reproduce results in order to believe them. there is the, all biblical story of them. abraham that ah, heard the voice of god and they the told him to sacrifice his only son, isaac. and then, you know, if abraham had the cell phone a, with a voice memo up, he could have pressed the button and recorded the voice of god and then we would all believe it. but given the fact that he didn't have a cellphone, we have to decide whether we b
