8:08 pm
a little hard to perform there are a lot of people here and both the organizers and the police have asked people to observe social distancing and they have mostly stuck to it but sometimes it's been tricky and police have to wait for the demonstration to be ready with people maintaining this and seeing for it to start moving the case so it's loud but it is peaceful what are the police expecting for the rest of the night genya. the police wasn't particularly worried about this particular demonstration this year because there were many protests across the city today also by coronavirus and ayers and the police was more worried that some unexpected demonstrations would happen today that they were really not prepare for there are over 5000 police men around the city and many are here at this demonstration one issue may be that at 10

8:13 pm
affected our eyes and our noses but then. we dispersed and then later on when i thought it's a bit calm you know we just tried to get out of the way. we interviewed a lady who was also a protester and it was just us interviewing her and nobody else and then of course always people gather when you do interviews with a camera so then some people came up and we continued the interview but then we heard another shot and there was police right behind the lady and they were pointing at us and we just wanted to go you know get out of the way and we tried that but then i the next thing that i heard or felt was another shot and then i just felt like this burning pain in my thigh and you know i saw that this kind of stress of this to you guys that you know launched from a real weapon so it's not just you know they don't throw it it's really a weapon so it's really strong and the impact was really strong so yeah that's what i that's what i experience today. in nairobi sports few now and in

you're watching news live from coming up next reporter looks at a vaccination against covert 19 in alaska i know cube's mckinnon on behalf of all of us here at news thanks for watching. in the. climate change. or soon. we're going to years today how for future. g.w. for their groceries to the lived in a. clue. tr. alaska
8:16 pm
arctic is one of the most remote areas off the u.s. it's also a region that has been particularly ravaged by the coronavirus now the health they need to recover is flying to the rescue. for you call it is providing vaccinations to surrounding villages and aid workers can only access the areas by plane or by snowmobile in fact alaska is currently vaccinating at a faster rate than any other state in the us how is this possible.
8:17 pm
that. there aren't any doctors in fort yukon but there is deborah mccarthy the health centers director she's responsible for the area's $500.00 residents we have to forgo a lot snow slopes instead of asphalt roads no pumps no restaurants no fast internet this is what normality looks like 8 miles north of the arctic circle. i think for most people actually life my peers pretty small.
8:18 pm
i mean people work hard you know everybody has to get where they everybody has to close 19 everybody goes fishing most people have gardens it's a close knit small community i mean it's like we were related to almost everybody it's of course now like that where you know if you're going to if you live someplace else or in a city or even just a bigger town that is excessive all by road and you know where we're sort of on an island here and everybody is very close. this is one reason why the virus has claimed 4 times as many indigenous lives in alaska compere to urban whites. deborah has a lot on her mind when she goes to the health center every morning namely how to protect people here from the virus as quickly as possible it's been a few weeks since vaccinations opened up to everyone over the age of 16 much
8:19 pm
earlier than in most other states same day appointments are available without waiting i'm sure. so your arm might be a little bit sore. some people have more soreness than others so i usually just tell people pick the arm that you don't. really need to use today it's ok. deborah and her team have already immunized more than half of the village. concerned about high death rates the health center received the vaccine from the us government and the indigenous health insurance fund now there of vaccine doses in abundance. it's amazing we have a couple 100 doses we've pretty much finished after the charter tomorrow
8:20 pm
we will be finished with the villages and then we just have to finish for u. conn so and we didn't think we would be able to do this tell the summer you know get everybody then. deborah takes us to her home a small wooden house on the outskirts of town people here a contempt living without much. deborah has already seen much of the world the daughter of a white father and an indigenous mother she lived in germany for several years when her father served in the army before you can has always been her home when the 1st cold cases broke out it was easy for deborah to shield herself from the rest of the world because she lives alone with her son but for most families quarantining is almost impossible because they live in small homes and the virus spreads rapidly
8:21 pm
it was pretty scary for everybody it was kind of. a really big i'm known you know how bad is it going to get here people were thinking oh my you know the grandmas and grandpas thinking oh if this is going to be like 1918 it's going to wipe out whole villages so that's kind of what everybody was preparing for so of course people were scared the kids were scared we were worried at the clinic you know we don't have ventilators if somebody needs oxygen or c.p.r. what are we going to do. there was a lot of preparation going into it. that summation day has arrived the team is making the final preparations before a round trip to live villages nurse kimberly andon is carrying 50 dozes off the durn of vaccine in her luggage and she hopes that this will bring the state of emergency to an end. one person gets it here that's you know that's 5 percent of the population almost so that one household pretty much can cause for the whole
8:22 pm
village to shut down that means nobody hauling water nobody hauling fuel nobody you know you're not leaving your house to go get stuff that. ok it's going to things don't deny 20 minutes would be a tight limits the flights are expensive and time consuming so the team tries to vaccinate as many people as possible on a single trip the aid workers who come today won't return for 4 more weeks. this is another reason why even with many villages situated in the middle of the wilderness alaska is the fastest state when it comes to vaccinating residents in the u.s. they are approaching vina tie on the banks of the yukon there's hardly any infrastructure no cell phone network and supermarket and most importantly no road access. the yukon is the lifeline for villages in the arctic in the summer it provides
8:23 pm
salmon upon which many residents here depend in the winter it resembles an ice desert. a snow slope services landing strip. there are 2 cars in the village and one of them is the ambulance. in the winter of the snowmobile is the most important means of transportation it's just a short drive up to the health center.
8:24 pm
food fuel clothes everything has to be flown in here today if the vaccines turn to be born. 20 villagers are already waiting inside word has spread about how dangerous the virus is here too so no one in being a time needs to be convinced about being vaccinated. right. did you guys read the. brochure thing about whether or not ok you know you're going to get some side effects. for. whatever. i'm good at it. yet here. we've been anticipating to get our 1st child and we are so happy to finally
8:25 pm
get it and we thought it's going to you know hurt but not know. if there are more of them to the vaccination marks the end of a long period of isolation finally meeting friends again finally partying again. they are. ok after the shot a sticker and some warm words. you know congratulations lady. lawrence roberts is next like most of the village back he belongs to the indigenous which in tribe ok if you read the information see for many years he's relied on his strong constitution but in time of the pandemic he wants to play it safe after all
8:26 pm
there aren't any doctors or ventilators in vina thai either you are done and i'll see you in 4 weeks. is pretty important i mean. from wherever and you go the way you would have to get sick or you know if it will prevent possible ization that's good. to know. lauren's takes us to his home. we use his quad bike to get to the edge of the forest of the 200 person village there are no roads here during winter you drive on a snow slope and in summer on a meadow. he lives alone in a locked cabin with his son for the past year he hasn't been allowed to leave the village the tribal government imposed strict rules to protect the community from the virus lawrence roberts says that the modern lifestyle is what makes people so
8:27 pm
vulnerable to the pandemic like we don't have no car off by contact and we're always doing is this piece of the travelling with ballparks and it here and there and ocampo should move or something that's where we settle down for a month. you know and try to meet this is what it is and. took me when i listen to your i didn't come out of there in 10 years for. it was much healthier lifestyle you know that i knew that i experience never get 2nd in your army with you know it all. back and forth you call the village has come together at the traditional spring carnival for the 1st time since the pen demick began there hasn't been a cold case here for 2 months. the coronation of the princess is one of the year's highlights.
8:28 pm
up until recently deborah mccarty would not have expected to see this much normality even though sled dogs are racing again this year. i feel very fortunate i mean we hear about other places that don't even have all of their health care providers vaccinated yet and we were all vaccinated in egypt in december for the most part i think the majority of us and everybody here and in the other villages feel like it's the beginning of the end. by summer life in the rest of the us will be a secure free as it is in the villages in alaska arctic circle. are
