if we think that any whilst having higher numbers of staff from a lot of staff who are off sick or isolating or tested positive themselves i've just finished 10 days of isolation because my wife tested positive she's also a paramedic the person protests required that we were wearing was full our perspective not quite enough and a number of our friends and colleagues were in the same situation and they've also tested positive over the last few weeks. i think the impact of the new. moves it is just. more infectious 150 percent more infectious where we were at the beginning of the service thinking we had it with the stored suddenly we had the surgeon lover who ready was so huge with the proof of the marginal being his vote and that's he will sit here and spread so he's exposed that while for the school to sort by surprise the new parent just made it absolutely explode and again you know

we waited too long to stand down and they may still more to come from this wave of the pandemic. we're seeing fall people being admitted syria tends to k.b.'s that are now becoming overwhelmed synopses in the southeast and now canceling a cold 28 day comes to say gee if the people he had the saudis cancel and now having to add knowing that he was grabbing on to some of them by the time safe again they might not be operable anymore and that they have lost that wind you know so i mean that to me is a kind of kind of mental torture. that holds a. lot of people that formed the group told one of my friends said he was just helping someone having a panic attack the other day that people are having nightmares about the really hard thing about big stuck a hospital for 5 hours is there only to tell you that you're there you're here with your colleagues in the control room hosking for m

b this is to be available to get you to the other imagine seasons of people that need your help and you can't get that constantly in a situation where they know not doing the best for the patients that are trying to pass but i just know i position to be able to do that and that's something that people are wrestling with quite a loss of is that every day that you never get vague they might have better to do some more if they had a rifle the other day they might have been able to. change the outcome for a particular patient bunch short's how they were told walking down the country i don't think we have a choice we just throughout this. we're trying to do. with people who feel that way it is hard and it's taken its toll but we know that when we do the best we can in a sentence and. if we didn't go out there more people would die and would suffer as a result of not having. people working on the front line.

well as germany passes 2000000 record coronavirus cases complain as a urging officials to bring in a complete europe wide lockdown it chancellor angela merkel has told her party that quick action is needed some stop the new variance an online campaign is calling for a radical total lockdown that would see europe completely shut down for months to achieve 0 cases petitions circulated by the 0 covert initiative has gathered nearly $30000.00 signatures. and i'm not joined by he's a mathematician at the university of vienna and a spokes person for the initiative 0 covert initiatives goal is to reduce contagion to 0 rather ambitious goals how are you hoping to achieve this. well main point of criticism is that so far. you know the whole. endemic politics has focused on private life and has completely ignored work

production and shopping and i 'd think the problem is you know that people are being asked here to die for the good of the economy. people are still going to work bill people are still supposed to go shopping but these are also you know the virus doesn't distinguish between a family gathering or or an office. drop you there think i'm sorry for this but with the how exactly are you going to reduce contagion to 0. we want to shut down workplaces and and businesses that is the big that is the big difference we don't think that the answer to the pandemic can be you know people should completely cancel their private lives but keep going to work every day as if nothing had happened and think that's feasible and you can see that this kind of

approach has failed because medical workers are at the limit limit as we've heard scientists say it's going to get much much worse with a new strain very likely and i mean it's like it's a bit like letting tiger into your house and saying you know we'll let him know well at the young people a little bit because they can take it but everyone you know stay calm and keep doing your work i mean it's ok so are you you were you said you want to shut down all companies in europe do you want a complete shutdown of the european economy is that financially feasible who's going to pay for this. i think you know there's gigantic amounts of money. but they're just in the wrong hands i mean i think there's a lot of very rich companies very rich people who have not been contributing as they should have and i think you know they will start to make a bigger contribution they will have to start to pay for this crisis and who as

everyone says scuse me oh who are the rich people that you want to pay for this crisis. oh well everyone who has a has a lot of money we don't we very rich people don't pay taxes in europe not a lot and very rich companies don't pay taxes on their income either and that will just have to change i think that you know we've seen that it's possible to will shut down the economy for a while and it's easy for a state to organize that and to do that and you know ringback. the i think the 'd methods of financing it are clear as well you just need higher taxes for very very rich people and you need to tax. companies like amazon ok do you think there's going to be wide widespread political support for this idea

well no maybe not but i think there is going to be a widespread grassroots for you cuz it's in the interest of most people. which was a lot of people have a lot of initiative thank you very much. far though and in other developments in the pandemic pfizer says it will temporarily reduce deliveries to europe of its vaccine from late january while it ramps up its production capacity the u.k. has banned travelers from south america and portugal over concerns about a virus variant that has emerged in brazil people arriving in france from the e.u. countries will no longer be allowed to enter by presenting a negative result from a quick covert 19 test travelers must now take p.c.r. tests which can take several days to produce results a powerful earthquake in indonesia has killed at least $42.00 people and injured

as half the buildings in the new jew city have either collapsed or all cautiously damaged and there are fears that more damage is still to come. on to judge you know because the epicenter is near the beach there's a possibility of underwater landslides. and that's why this is still synonymy potential is the next aftershocks at the center is on the beach or near the coast. for now many fearing the aftershocks are choosing to stay on high ground wondering if they'll have her to go back to. dr john teased a spokesperson for a national disaster mitigation agency. what are your main concerns at the moment.

so i 1st want to look to see that is the earth from the president that. you know in if you are the national of the cessna and it's been at the at the end of the ministry of search shows should be in the location after the shark so i'm now. going to push an indication 1st this to the left that is the creation. properly done with the best of us are such that rescue team and also other military and police and also out of the interior there have. a big question beat down property but how is it i'm going back you ation going excuse me if i interrupt you how is this evacuation going up a moment. here in the moment that we're working. hard to have a good equation and using. using some materials to to to to

rescue the people under the. structures that have been greeted by the earthquake itself. in the i'm now in and we will send the sirens are also to help to. the people who still. really are of the destruction of the damage of infrastructure. so. now all of us are not of the rescue team also. send some more. troops and also the military and the police how feet to get the 1st rescue the people on the spot. right now what do you need most in terms of international aid. so in the moment we are not yet open for them in the national 8 but. we will open that after of their service need of the international aid but i think our center or. perhaps the.

mechanics of on how to support other countries in the. members in the moment where 5. we can assume on how to support other countries in the. members in the moment now we're completing the. basic need us there if you cheat we have to around 50000 people or if he she said we need something this is how we're in this and to me in that moment is still in the face of. course it might be so we have no have to proper approach or. and also for her to. defer to the ship to have more safety or no and so on. october the jati the spokesperson find in these us national disaster mitigation agency thank you very much to us taking time to

they had their mind their fantasy about africa was about our poverty our lack and they were so obsessed with our diseases and their greed his vision for us was maybe musky to me it's china and. the vision they have. with us about roots and bridges and ports. i think it was about the scale of vision and quite frankly you know we will go for the attractive will go for the attractive offer. into the heart as part of along the way we encounter the shango archaeological site where remnants were found of a mosque that some believe was built during mohammed's lifetime. ruins from the 15th century are better preserved there from a time when a lively exchange with china has sent to have existed. but even in kenya these ruins 1st excavated by british archeologists are largely unknown.
