a thrilling battle of the us yes. i'm a backer it is welcome to the program it's the news we were hoping not to hear british prime minister barak johnson says there's now evidence to suggest the new coronavirus variant 1st detected in the u.k. is not only more contagious but more deadly as well i mean tension has now spread to more than 60 countries and britain itself is struggling to bring infections under control. it's a relentless nightmare for health care workers across the u.k. the ships are physically and emotionally grueling campus lives cannot be saved many more people have been hospitalized bunching the 1st peak last april and the coronavirus ferry and known as b 117 is playing

a significant role in the suffering scientists say it's almost certainly more infectious and now government health advisers believe it could be more deadly though they caution the assessments based on sparse data we've been informed today that in addition to spreading more quickly it also appears there is some evidence that the new variant the very that was 1st identified in london in the scythe east may be associated with a higher degree of mortality the u.k. has one of the highest death rates from covert in the world almost 100000 people have lost their lives with ethnic minorities disproportionately affected those groups are also more likely to refuse vaccinations when offered them so authorities are trying to tackle mistrust bondeson from ation must have joined the campaign to

persuade skeptical muslims that the key message is that the vaccination is a vaccination is effective and the vaccination is hollow in the miscible and under all sort of routines of the religion in the u.k. he's been making good progress with inoculation administering jobs to a larger percentage of its population than any other european country but the government says restrictions won't be eased until infections have dropped and it's sure the vaccination program is working. our correspondent being that monster is standing by for us in london big if these new findings likely to change the u.k.'s response to the pandemic this is the question being asked rebecca but for the moment the answer from the prime minister is no because the u.k. is already in the pretty strict lockdown i live in central london the streets here are really mostly empty because people are not coming into offices to work they are

staying at home they're working from home if they can the schools are closed sencha workers can send their children to school so they say it is already pretty strict however also we know from from data that the mobility is still a little bit higher than it used to be in the fast locked and so so questions keep being also exactly who is more mobile and is that really is that really necessary and for example finds. should there be more fines almost straight to enforcement of the lockdown rules what about travel restrictions could this these findings lead to tougher border restrictions both in both directions. definitely that's. very much being had of the moment not only in the u.k. but also in the us some countries have already banned flights and ferries from the u.k. like to another lens for example so this is countries trying to protect themselves

against new variants or this new variant is now dominant in the u.k. and other european countries are hoping that they can keep it at bay because it is transmissible and now it seems also possibly more deadly the u.k. itself they'll also once a protect itself because the inoculation program is pretty successful here so far over 7 percent of the population have already received. experts medical experts are hoping that this would have an effect and the u.k. does also debate whether there should be border closures in order to protect the u.k. from other variants across the world indeed will be a you would be right to be concerned because europe's coronavirus vaccination rollout is facing a bit of a setback with drug maker astra zeneca telling the commission it won't be able to deliver the agreed volumes of its coded 19 vaccine within the agreed time frame

astra zeneca which developed its vaccine would university said it would have to cut initial deliveries to the e.u. by 60 percent the company was expected to supply our around $80000000.00 doses by the end of march it's blaming the reduction on production problems at a factory in belgium. big hasn't even approved the vaccine yet and the company says the delay will be temporary how much of a setback is this. well across the u.k. and also across across the e.u. there is an absolute race against time because we know that obviously vaccination the the the availability of all these vaccine is is for the moment is the problem really across the world say so countries are basically scrambling for $44.00 vaccines we know that in the u.k. there is a target to until mid february to not kill aged at least was one dose the

most vulnerable groups of the population but also government ministers admit it's pretty tight and this is. a situation that's replicated across the e.u. really when i'm being asked being has from london thanks very much. on kong has ordered thousands of residents to undergo compulsory testing for covert 19 around 70 buildings or in the densely populated restricted area on county and peninsula poor plumbing and ventilation may be partly to blame a lock downs in place affecting some 10000 residents in the government says people have to stay at home until everyone has been tested on floridians have been battling a fresh wave of infections since november. u.s. president joe biden is warning that the economic crisis in the united states is deepening he says device decisive and bold action is needed to help struggling families biden made the comments as he signed an economic relief program at the
