middle east but they are so wrong they didn't see the anger of in the eyes of iranian people they didn't see their tears they didn't see their sadness and i have to say that generously money has a military from people that they will take revenge from chomped and they are so wrong they are sinking this will be end the end of general silly money this is the beginning our people are united and they will stand and front of such a they just powers why would donald trump say that your father was a monster well of course a 1st he is the monster not my father. and 2nd i will say. my father did his job so well and make them so angry you are seeing every plant they are making them in the list is destroyed everywhere

they are trying to enter and hurt iran they are failed why of course for them my father is a big monster but my father is a savior. he saved people not just his own country he did this for all countries he did this for people not just middle east he this troy i says because he don't want people people innocent in europe got killed by such a dangerous virus how my father can be a person who wants to kill an american people and people in europe how he was saving them from the ice's he was saving them so don't let anyone to hurt them he was fighting for them how he can be a terrorist to kill people trump is gone in january and it will be joe biden who says he wants new relations with iran do you think it means anything that joe biden

will be in the white house there is no difference between biden trump they are the same guy and they are following the same policy there is no difference between them trump or dare killing my father but biden support death so there is no different they have the same thought and they are following the same way and they are the same person joe biden cannot return my father he can it can't return it so there is the problem we have with our it is with their policy this will not change they are the same people the same mind the same way. and it's one of them is a war stand the other one. conservative outlet project very

toss has unveiled a tape revealing that julian assange has tried to limit the release of information damaging to the u.s. back in 2011 on the recording of songe allegedly speaks to cliff johnson an attorney at the u.s. state department wiki leaks founder warns johnson that an archive of 250000 department cables containing classified information had been stolen and was being spread around the internet. that would be releasing the. green would not be released. 43. of the material.

or wiki leaks has long been accused of carelessness in the way it handled the leaked documents as it was claimed that they could endanger u.s. officials however the recording of a song speaking to the state department seems to demonstrate the opposite on it a songe also suggested the u.s. government covertly removed the files from the internet and offered to help track them down but the unredacted information was published not long after now a year later a songe took refuge in the ecuadorian embassy in london fearing extradition to the u.s. he was under active investigation by washington at the time for his role in publishing documents on possible u.s. war crimes in afghanistan and iraq however he was only charged with espionage in 2019 a month after british police dragged him from the embassy 7 years after he was granted

asylum there. has been in a british prison cell ever since while a london court continues extradition hearings. was careless or simply not concerned i mean that saunders had told this person that he had spent 24 hours calling very various u.s. government offices and no one no one would talk to him no one no one would call the bat. the tape shows quite clearly that a song just concerned about the release of these on redacted files so he he's quite conscious of how the information could be misused and therefore he wants to alert the relevant parties i'm sure that washington will argue that it still is wiki leaks false but i think anybody who says this tape will show that wiki leaks is quite conscientious and trying to prevent any individual from suffering any kind of retribution as a consequence of the release of these files are the democrats have been extremely

hostile to the wiki leaks much more hostile than republicans. so therefore it would be a good way for both for trump to stick it to his enemies. in health care worker in a latin should not receive the phase of beyond. this point fire has said that those with a history of severe adverse allergic reactions to vaccines out were actually excluded from the late stage trials of the vaccine on which the panel of the u.s. food and drug administration f.d.a. approved the vaccine and the f.d.a. in the united states has gone ahead and approved pfizer is vaccine but made clear that it is only available to those who are 16 years of age or older and who don't raise ng this new jab that's available to fight against cove it take a listen they have really good news today our nation has achieved a medical miracle we have delivered a safe and effective vaccine in just 9 months this is one of the greatest

scientific accomplishments in history it will save millions of lives and soon independent mc once and for all i am thrilled to report that the f.d.a. has authorized the pfizer vaccine. now we have reached out to pfizer and they did give us a response when we inquired for details of the pfizer drug corp said quote we don't yet have all the details of the report from alaska about a potential serious allergic reaction but we are actively working with local health authorities furthermore they emphasized that reports of adverse events outside of clinical studies are very important and a component of our pharmacologic activities and we will review all of a little information on the case and all reports of adverse events following vaccinations so that was from pfizer's media relations they are monitoring the situation we have these reports about the health care worker in alaska so people

are waiting for more information many are concerned about this vaccine will it be safe will it actually put an end to the pandemic as some have predicted so many are keeping their eye on this situation is this certainly disturbing news to hear that a health care worker has had an adverse effect. germany has set another sad it record in the pandemic with almost a 1000 deaths in the last 24 hours the news came on the 1st day of a strict new lockdown in the country reporting from berlin here's our 2 speed roll of. wednesday sees germany and a new lock down that will last through until the 10th of january but it also marks a very grim record $952.00 deaths over the last 24 hours with a covert 19 being confirmed by the robert cock institute germany's public health body it comes as germany enters a new strict a lockdown basically all non-essential retail polluting things like head

dresses and beauty salons as well closing down the only things really remaining open are banks in some cases pharmacies and supermarkets in order for people to buy food what they did see was a rush of people going to shopping malls on tuesday evening and an attempt to cram in some last minute in person christmas shopping. combs after the previous measures that it being called lockdown light that came into play at the beginning of november they were designed essentially to keep as moche of the german economy open as possible at the expense of social contacts well

everybody basically admitted they hadn't worked dear citizens we had all hoped to be further along but the virus still has us firmly in its grip from wednesday on work our public and private lives will therefore be more severely restricted than ever before in the history of the federal republic of germany the situation is bitterly serious thousands of deaths in one week and an infection that threatens to get out of control we cannot avoid drastic measures here in berlin it's care homes that have been hardest hit when it comes to infections and deaths hoffa. around half of all deaths in berlin have been in care homes what we heard from chancellor angela merkel is a message saying stay away from elderly relatives if you can because of the possibility of infection and with covert 19 could have huge long term impact i don't think you'll see and i'm not going to be fast as i don't need to.

it's not going to be the most festive periods here in germany this year there is going to be a loosening of restrictions between the 24th and the 26th of this month but the message is still it may be a loosening of those rules but the virus doesn't take a break. hundreds of restaurant workers have rallied in central new york they blame the governor for new lockdown restrictions which they say could force them out of business. what ridiculous the. the protests came a day after governor andrew cuomo banned indoor dining they want to relief package as a report finds that without help more than half of new york restaurants will close down for good and that includes some of the city's most iconic venues the latest victim is new york's 21 club the famous establishment is now shutting its doors

forever the restaurant has been serving customers for a century among the most prominent visitors novelist ernest hemingway tennis player john mcenroe and almost every u.s. president since franklin roosevelt but 21 club is not alone small businesses have been devastated since the beginning of the pandemic here's what a local restaurant manager told us. it's carried everyone every day and we there are some people we have a little bit of business due to all these little bit more we had to break some people back to work and it's terrible to tell them they can only give them to people working full time jobs. so that hurts. for us having told people that and i'm scared about my family but i'm going to have a job you know a few months if there is nothing we will be shutting down probably by more that's the realistic and. now here in russia more than 26000 new coven 1000 and almost 600 deaths have been reported in the past 24 hours that brings the total

number of infections to more than 2 and a half a 1000000 the scale of the pandemic has prompted one russian medic to show us the horrors and challenges of fighting it through his own eyes the surgeon has again followers on line after posting poignant sketches from a coronavirus hot spot we made a film about him and his work which you can watch on the archie documentary channel on you tube but here's a quick taste of what's there. we've just finished a 3 hour operation it was our 3rd today that's one tired assistant. let them listen because that's my son who came to me that night i'd asked my wife to bring him my son and i have a very close relationship and. i love my son and i so wanted to support him and it upset him that i missed his 1st day yes more over before he was born i'd imagine seeing my kids 1st school day crying staring into

the distance looking at teachers it didn't work out sadly. but this is a patient from a care home due to diabetes he had lost both his legs. the thing is i drew him on the 5th of september. well certainly early september. when he arrived i thought he would die because he was suffering from moderate to severe covered 19. he had severe breathing trouble with it and was sent to the i.c.u. but on september 17th as i was just leaving the cove in 1000 ward we were going down in the same lift. i was so surprised to see that he had recovered. he was going back to the care home. this was my last picture my last but one working day which. i was as they say at the end of my tether.

that day i had sent 2 patients to the i.c.u. they were severe patients hopeless cases that day i went to the i.c.u. and it scared the hell out of me what i saw there made me draw this picture. of a depiction of despair when you walk across this room with no doors or windows and as you cross it you're waiting death is sniffing around you. britain is struggling to cope with a growing number of asylum seekers and locals in one village are fuming out plans to accommodate them nearby it's all he has more. 20 twentieth's seen record numbers of people attempting to reach the united kingdom and claim asylum thousands made the journey a while not all will be granted permission to stay long term all do need somewhere to live right now but the question is where one location under consideration is

here in the from village of boston stacy in hampshire where there are proposals to build accommodation bob to 500 young men seeking asylum with just the church a part of the village store and a population of only a 1000 people that if it is it simply won't cope in a small were very large 500 people squat lot so i think maybe i'm not against the idea of the idea of it's good it's just the placement i think is a little off to maybe it should mean more towards a city or town. my concerns my city but if you surround the facilities in the area and the fact that it will be the other sort of a 3 or $320.00 shops or any other buildings like that it's just going to cause a danger i think with people trying to cross the carriageway the issue here is that's a field in the middle of the countryside with no facilities and their services so whatever happens those people are going to have to walk somewhere who hit children where do you get any services that. the strong like. the petition by council

to stop the home office from implementing the idea has been saturated but some in the local council are more welcoming of the idea i said to the folks in 1800 they were it was devastation all around people that they couldn't see any that they were trying to devastation of warfare is right and we don't understand that relieving trying to sell ice peace and quiet you know we have no concept unless you've been there you can understand what these people have been through and what they've had to change is just to survive. this empty plot is ministry of defense land that's been floated as a location for the facility built temporary structures will include dining and sanitation facilities as well as. access to basic recreation but it's been compared to prison like conditions in some one of the possibility of overcrowding and the location of a busy country lane with no footpaths could be dangerous to. concerns have already been raised about other locations used to house asylum seekers such as the napier

barracks facility in folks in kent the government to spend millions on housing asylum seekers and say visa just temporary measures while they work to find more sustainable solutions given pressure on the system during these unprecedented times we have worked tirelessly with local authorities and other partners to provide asylum seekers who would otherwise be destitute with suitable accommodation as we are required to do by law if the napier barracks experience is anything to go by there are phases of overcrowding over the covert $1000.00 pandemic still ongoing the safety of those housed in the accommodation and local residents is paramount but with the number of asylum seekers needing shelter set to rise other communities could be placed in a very similar positions to the sally ots u.k. and bought in stacey. the e.u. has unveiled strict new digital market rules to challenge the dominance of global tech giants the proposed legislation would apply only to the biggest companies with

tens of millions of users like google and amazon and officials behind the draft bill saying they had no choice now we have such an increase in the online traffic that we need to make rules that put order into chaos everybody is where you come in your. vote our responsibility is to decide and to give directions and to rooms just to protect what is important to us. the new rules could strip big tack of up to 10 percent of turnover if they break the competition principles european officials also want to be told about big merger or acquisition plans in the sector repeat violators may be banned from the e.u. market google has already criticised the proposal as selective punishment but europe is not alone in its opposition to these big companies just last week 40 its us states together with of the federal trade commission filed

a lawsuit against facebook and accuse the company of pumping money into unfair competition we asked experts whether this latest move will keep big tech in check. the idea behind this is to not try to narrow it into just one kind of attack but across all the tech spectrum of so-called gatekeepers the e.u. has consistently is lined amazon find google find facebook for violating their rules over and over a key problem here is the fact that these companies continue to break the law france and germany continually say facebook is violating the law google is violating the law so they assigned them record size fines these companies build this into their actual bottom line in terms of a line item in their budgets to say we're going to pay fines because we're going to break the rules the penalties are enormous we're talking about 10 percent of global turnover and then if there is

a persistent noncompliance that could be increased to 5 percent of daily then over . and over the e.u. saying hey you know we want to be able to to give internet companies we want to give them an opportunity to compete do. google will just have to accept the new reality. to the new rules it is difficult to see face grew out of the e.u. all together could see available the reality is that the village solution technology $72.00 different speeds and the low are not able to for all the evolution of technology sloan's keep for this reason that we are attempting to up the. state in the 20 years ago you cannot force tech giants a tool follow the rules we dismantle finance and speaking we have seen in the last couple years certain very small fine is enormously nicky's is these fines that are

not paying off and off to scare giants there's a for me and headlines in $32.00 and a half minutes stay with us. universe is really. interim ation crisis. that is the reality of the this thing we call matter you can hear if you can't shake it can touch it it shapes soul it. doesn't change the galaxies or about it. as the us economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours 'd in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is

the land of opportunity the reality of it is we're not financially equality and the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage gave many people no choice but to just been a problem with the city bruno's turn their backs on told me stay away oh missed call to sins of the food if there is no answer because yes that requires resources the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become invisible comes. next kaiser's financial survival they say money to develop a. plan to use it this is a central plank support via dummy's i don't call them right now so stop the. same wrong why don't we all just don't call. me old yet to shape
