a deadline looms in 3 weeks. canadians vote for the new leader the incumbent and a former president are among 12 people vying for the top job. american singer songwriter bob dylan sells his entire song catalog in what's being called one of the biggest of a publishing deal. the u.s. has seen its deadliest week of the coronavirus pandemic since april and health experts are warning the worst is yet to come nearly 2000 americans have died each day in the past week the country's top infectious disease expert says the winter holidays surge hasn't even hit yet as people prepared to travel and get together. and what we have now is a challenge ahead of us of the bleak months of december in january

where we have a baseline of inspections that literally is breaking records every day with regards to number of infections number of hospitalizations and numbers of deaths the numbers are really stunning we can do something about it but that's something right now is public health measures well in california hospitals could soon run out of beds in their intensive care units and that's why the governor there has imposed a lockdown in parts of the state but this week may also mark a turning point federal regulators could authorize a vaccine in the next 5 days rob reynolds is in los angeles and says authorities there are lying on people to act more responsibly to curb the surgeon infections. it's a very wide ranging set of. restrictions which has certainly gotten plenty of pushback from business owners even from law enforcement officials and

this is coming on top you know of many many months of restrictions and and warnings from public health officials and politicians and people are very weary there is a pandemic fatigue that is very pronounced in california and across the united states and this of course for those business owners is the time of year when they make their money this is not a kind of situation where police or sheriff's deputies are going to go door to door and check to see if you're having a party or something like that they are relying on people to act responsibly to wear masks to socially isolate wash their hands all of those sorts of things. but law enforcement officials for example the sheriffs of several counties in the state of california said they're not going to enforce the law they call the governor a hypocrite because he dined out without a mask with

a party in november and now he's closing down the restaurants and so on so it's a really excellent question as to how people are going to respond will they obey these rules or will they flout these rules nobody really knows the answer at this point but i got to say that based on past experience specially with these holidays like thanksgiving holiday in november people have not really complied with the rules so there could be really tough times ahead well dr ali finally has a behavioral psychologist and professor of organizational behavior at the hold international business school is joining us by skype from rotterdam in the netherlands it's really good to have you with us thanks very much indeed for giving us your time we heard rob so they're saying that the authorities in california are relying on people to act more responsibly how realistic is that given the fact that this is one of the harshest lockdowns that the u.s. the scene at the moment and it comes on the back of so many others. that's a great question and i think it's well said that this is very hard i mean it's

going to be very hard for a lot of people to continue to follow the measures that are given to them especially now being put into another lockdown what's happening nowadays with a lot of people is their excuse experiencing kind of a behavioral fatigue because we've kind of been in and out of lockdown for about 9 months already and a lot of people are finding it very difficult to maintain themselves or to keep on following the rules that are provided to them to ensure that we you know prevent the spread of the virus another aspect here to take into consideration is of course that we are just entering the winter months the holiday seasons of course people want to be around people and loved ones so that is also another additional aspect that is making it very difficult for people to maintain themselves and to follow the rules as are many a lot of the times when we have conversations like this we're talking about business owners we're talking about adults but of course children seriously impacted by this give us an an indication of the way that children are affected by

this relentless or seemingly relentless situation of lockdown. well you know again this is such as you rightfully mentioned children are heavily impacted by this pandemic but often overlooked as you already mentioned that we often talk about you know parents and business knowledge being affected by it but children are equally or probably even more so affected by this pandemic due to the fact that they're missing out on social time being at school of course they have to be with their parents as well the whole time so there might not be getting the right attention from their parents because parents of course the navigating different roles at home being the mom being the dad being the spouse or even being the manager as it may because a lot of people are now working from home so kids are dealing with this of course dealing with this very being for the very difficult for them to deal with and of course this will of course have of effects on kids not only now but also

potentially later so taking care of their kids' well being while being at home is very important but also i think to be very difficult to do for parents also managing different roles at home at the same time i get the impression from what you're saying that obviously there is a very wide range of impacts and very many different ways that people are going to be experiencing this said many different ages as well i'm going to be slightly unfair and ask you to try and narrow down what people can do to try to alleviate any stress tension they might be feeling under lockdown both as parents with children but also as individuals themselves. well thank you for that question i think to be to be very concrete on this some things that we can do when we are in lockdown or are either confined to physical spaces is to kind of create some kind of physical boundaries in our home so for example if people are dealing with

managing multiple roles or dealing with kids while working at the same time having a physical boundary such as an additional space where you can do your work from or separate yourself just to kind of find some me time is very important but at the same time i'm most were very conscious of the fact that a lot of people don't have additional space to call their working room or having a private space to actually work in and in this case i'd like to recommend to have much more mental boundaries and with mental injuries actually mean living up to the routines that you normally do in your day to day life getting up in the morning getting dressed you know just mainly kind of finish making sure that you finish work at a certain time these kind of routines and habits that we have that help us to give us a sense of control of our environment and this is very very important especially if we're put into again into another lockdown and dealing with a lot of uncertainty this is a way of kind of creating a sense of ownership of our environment which also has a positive effect on our psychological psychological wellbeing really interesting

to get your thoughts on this and we appreciate your time so thank you very much indeed well in fewer than 12 hours the u.k. is going to begin its mass coronavirus vaccination program the 1st doses of the vaccine made by pfizer will be given on tuesday the priority is going to go to the elderly and care home workers health chiefs warn the rollout is going to be a marathon not a sprint and most vulnerable people may have to wait until next year to get vaccinated they have all the reports from london. hari show will be among those at the front of the queue to be vaccinated against covert 19 the racial equality campaigner from newcastle upon tyne in northeast england says it's a relief and i have received a telephone call i was really excited i feel. it's good you know. the opportunity of doing that and so i'm not no. i looking forward to final

preparations are under way ahead of the largest vaccination program in british history of the pfizer biotech drug approved for use in the u.k. last week have been arriving from pfizer's factory in belgium the logistical challenge is immense the vaccine needs to be kept to the around minus 70 degree celcius everything we need in england 50 hospitals would facilities to store the super chill drug will be the 1st to administer it scotland wales and northern ireland will also begin similar programs and hospitals on choose day it's the beginning of the end of this pandemic we're not there yet it's so important that people keep doing the things we know we need to do following the rules and the basics to make sure we keep this under control but we can now see the light at the end of the tunnel the government's ordered 40000000 doses so far and initial 800000

will be available in the 1st round of treatment this week capable of inoculating 400000 people with 2 injections 21 days apart this is one of several london hospitals that will begin backs in a thing this week because initial supply is a limited those at the front of the line will be elderly people currently receiving treatment in hospital many others over the age of 80 have also been contacted to come forward and get their jobs and care workers who look after the elderly have also been prioritise if there are any doses left to health care workers at serious risk of contracting the virus. immunity starts to build after the 1st dose but becomes fully effective a week after the 2nd in later phases of the rollout boxes of the vaccine that come in packs of almost a 1000 doses will be split up shared around the country and defrosted the vaccine can be stored at normal fridge temperature but only for a few days as well as the logistical challenges the government's also hoping to

build public trust in the vaccine developed and approved record speed. in the wake of the pandemic conspiracy beliefs of gaining ground a sizeable minority of anti vaccination demonstrators believe the pandemic was fabricated by government and the vaccines designed to insert people with microchips . 7 according to researchers at oxford university up to a quarter of the population could be entertaining. british scientists say stringent checks of being carried out to ensure the vaccine safety and effectiveness the u.k. is setting the pace for many other countries what happens here could be a game changer in the global campaign against coronavirus. london. the e.u. and u.k. negotiators have failed to make any headway as they attempt to reach

softened and takes back control of all laws trade and. one in agreement is preferable we are prepared to leave on so-called australian style terms if we can't find compromises australian terms is the u.k. government's euphemism for no deal and it's the lack of agreement on issues like the new member states fishing rights in u.k. waters that have made it increasingly likely other sticking points of what's being called a level playing field the e.u. wants u.k. companies to play by the same rules as its own to avoid unfair competition the u.k. wants to make its own rules also any future trade deal will need to be governed in times of dispute and there's no agreement yet on how with a little tangible progress by monday afternoon it was time for u.k. prime minister boris johnson and the european commission president on the line to take stock after a 90 minute fine call they released

scene. with something. up very concrete. and very. symbolic such as a bunker. now with the economy we can buy debt inflation and lack of foreign investment argentina needs him again i didn't look at that but i reckon the thing that happened it could be an interesting boost to the argentine economy imagine the central bank accumulating reserves this way with interest from abroad to generate dollars the petition has so far attracted. more than 20000 signatures and he's growing rapidly it's clear that many are confined still don't want to let diego maradona go to put his face to face on a banknote would put him on a pedestal with the country's founding fathers with a veto a figure transcending sports and inspiration beyond the football pitch. with his death argentina has been analyzing and appreciating what marat donate gave them

most significant music publication agreement this century under perry's music writer based in london he says the deal proves to other artists that music doesn't devalue. i don't think bob needs the money from his side you know i'm sure he can keep himself in sunglasses at this stage. but i think it is partly about the time i think the music business in general is feeling somewhat jeopardized right now. during. and this is still to see a very big message to the business world that music is a vast commodity and and will not devalued i think from the universal side i think they're doing it because something like 600 bob dylan
