a concern that i. have you with us you're watching international. in italy relatives of coded $900.00 victims of filed a criminal negligence lawsuit over the government's handling of the pandemic the bereaved families have brought the case against the country's prime minister health minister and president of the badly hit lumber region where the locality one of the lawyers leading the case told us more. you know that my clients were not informed about the presence of a dangerous and highly contagious virus in italy her told up until march but it was little more than a trivalent fashion residents were told to go about their lives as normal italy was their 1st country to have such a high death toll those who have joined a civil action are not only home or lumbered the region you come from all over in

the. 500 families follow the civil lawsuit against the authorities asking for 100000000 euros compensation they allege that italian officials did have an updated national pandemic plan that they were slow to respond to the outbreak in la but he and other regions and took too long to declare an emergency not only bore the brunt of the pandemic in europe in early 2020 the 1st back in february the pandemic quickly spread across the country in march the government imposed a national lockdown to tackle the outbreak since the start of the pandemic more than 70000 people have died with more than 2000000 infected italian prime minister she said become to have previously denied accusations he underestimated the crisis but consoler carty says that italy and his government were too slow to respond notice of that nothing was done * to prevent the spread of the virus and then obviously we were not ready we didn't have intensive care oxygen masks prepared adequately so regardless of where this virus developed immediately was not ready to

face said up to now not one politician has responded to the committee or those representing victims to explain the 70000 deaths we've heard nothing from lumber to his regional government health ministry and prime minister can tell you are obliged to take a position to write a deed in court and provide an explanation to all of italy's citizens lottie has reached out to the italian authorities for comment we await anything they have to say. the united states' top infectious disease expert has found himself in an awkward spot antony found she has admitted to the new york times he nudge the numbers on herd immunity up to bolster public support for covert vaccines the estimate is that you'll need about 70 percent maybe 75 percent of the people in the country vaccinating to get their own breland herd immunity let's say we get the buy . backs and we may actually aerator not herd

immunity protecting our society where you can make an extrapolation from other infections i see between 75008085 percent of the population when you were surveyed said 60 percent or more would take it i thought i can nudge this up a bit so i went to 8085 we really don't know what the real number is i think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent but i'm not going to say 90 percent. in the new york times once again admitted to misleading the public yesterday this is not science so we are not smart enough to think for ourselves says elects a bureaucrat a 2 year old doctor found she's the long time director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases certain the summer he was a permanent fixture at the white house coronavirus briefings and is a leading figure in the fight against the virus and this week found she became one of the 1st high profile figures to receive the moderna covert vaccine or those core

advices had a tendency to switch around during the year. right now people should not be what there's no reason to be walking around with a mask the fundamentals are not rocket science it's universal wearing of masks an issue in that is to make sure you do whatever you can to safeguard the safety and the health of the children as well as the teachers close the bars and keep the schools open the founding editor of the online news site this can't be happening says that the best thing to do is simply be straight with people. well that's not the way to deal with that with a. pandemic and none of them have been it done a good job of that you've got to trust people telling the truth say you know this is a crisis we're not sure how to handle it but this is what we think is the best way to do it that would be the honest way to do it and then people would have more confidence in you. you know when you tell him to do stuff i'm not sure i would go with lying i would go with that you know he made a bad he made

a bad decision to not level with people with what they knew for me the best thing to do would be to tell people what you know and be straightforward with them and then change it if you find out something different later. thing in the us 3 people have been injured in a large explosion that told through a motor home in the city of nashville literally on christmas morning the f.b.i. is leading the investigation into the explosion which police suspect was intentional. were seen if it was not it was a really long rule in the windows started shaking with digable that's not under the gun not address but now lobby to be funny thing out 630 this morning my fiance heard. told me that it happened i was really weird.

like muslim pressure and the like. and happened in the downtown district around 6 30 in the morning nearby buildings were badly damaged and dead 3 scattered across the road telecommunications issues caused by the explosion temporarily grounded flights of the city's main airport number people have been detained by police for questioning in a curfew imposed until sunday afternoon possible human remains in found near the blast site. 4 people been injured in a shooting incident in berlin 3 were taken to hospital with serious injuries police say several people were. in the incident helicopter was brought in as part of a manhunt the incident took place near the headquarters of germany's social democratic party however the police have confirmed it wasn't politically motivated . the russian military has received its 1st combat ready 5th generation c. 57 fighter jet has taken over 2 decades for the aircraft to go from the drawing

board to the skies and now into production. of oliver takes a closer look at russia's latest fighter. a unique combination of speed stealth and super maneuverability the su 5 to 7 miles who currently has the most modern russian military plane saying here it is all in one it's been designs to gain superior say that meaning it's an interceptor the kind of going guided missiles it's also called being able to strike really able to target the flying in place of cells that fight out that place a bit scared but there it takes out and if the topic close range stuff i don't think so it's out stuff like when you were a bit see were it's got that but let's give you say. the as you have to 7 is a single siege at the duties of the copilot are now the forms by also official

intelligence the plane combines the functions of an interceptor and a strike aircraft that just is being billed as a self by the banks to break out of its heroes those things that is opposing missiles accountings special instrumental weapon space that makes it hard to get invisible to the enemy range that they would be using infrared out it's obvious that the outcome of the aero combat primary depends on the skill of the pilot these guys the test pilots are the ones determine what to remove and what to retain in the planes in order to set limits for combat pilots they have to push their jets far beyond those limits looking over the edge and risking their lives number 4 did so and it was serious and little we are the link between all the departments that develop various systems equipment displays information and control field goals every new generation of aircraft turns out to be more complicated so our task is to make an aircraft easier for combat pilots the more comfortable the pilot feels the

more effectively they fulfil their tasks if he's plans that by 202876 mass produced as. 57 aircraft will be in service with the russian air force. powerful the weapon the more likely it will never be used it's an element of deterrence like any other weapon we're not creating things to attack so but if it is required that we defend ourselves we must be able to do that adequately and respond properly to all the modern challenges of science and technology. so quite a long road ahead for the s.b. 57 it has yet to showcase its enormous potential. as it will definitely be on the razor journal and my the aviation industry. justice for johnny that's the twitter hash tag being pushed by fans of american movie star johnny depp have to netflix removed his films from the us platform they said that the boycott the streaming service brought in a court battle with

a british tabloid that claimed that he beat his ex-wife he lost the initial case but as far for a retrial constantine will scoff looks at whether depp is the latest victim of cancer culture. not in the caribbean or wonderland apparently johnny depp has disappeared drugs yourself searched for his name on us netflix nope he's gone is it council culture or censorship the streaming side doesn't say but he's fans think is because he lost a libel case surrounding murky claims against one of hollywood's most iconic actors accusing him of being a wife beater i said you hit me i was crying i said time you couldn't consent i said hearing things being smashed and i said to him honey hit you hit me you hit me in the eye in my eye my eye and i start crying so do want to watch the actor or hayes private life unfold in 2016 heard made those claims against depp but it wars

and $7000000.00 settlement later it's case closed right well not really a year later at the height of the meat to movement amber heard to to the media to double down on domestic abuse allegations 2 years ago i became a public figure representing domestic abuse and i felt the. distress for women who speak out that's one things began to unravel for deb and his career he was found guilty by how he would be for any court had ruled now toxic it was no longer jack's barrow he was. kicked out by and passed a beast and made to walk the plank by the pirates of the caribbean and man worth 10000000000 for the box office was done and it's not just him whole cast have fallen to the filmography of many banished from screens but here's the thing deb is a free man there is no conviction and now the claims of abuse have been flipped

perhaps he was the victim all along his career definitely is and it doesn't matter anymore if a top director is one depp to play their lead roles it's a. we won't happen awoke wave online and the idea is over take tim burton and the reboot of the addams family a perfect match you with thing not anymore but who cares cancel culture and now let's have combined they've judged and it's a live band we have us netflix for comment we await their reply still to come angela merkel celebrates her last christmas as german chancellor at home and then looks at the month succeed to so after the break. is your media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows. boxing day a special episode boxing day is a holiday celebrated the day after christmas with us being the 2nd day of cursed miss tie.

the president has given his christmas address to the nation from. trying to look on the positive side of the pandemic the evil going on fellow citizens what a year has been a tiny virus took possession of our lives and our thoughts thwarted plants and shattered dreams and the pandemic reminded us how vulnerable we are how fragile what we call our normal life is but we were also able to experience something else how strong we are when we look out for each other and are there for each other. we were celebrated her last christmas eve as german chancellor she's promised to leave her post next year speculations already rife about who will succeed or be told of a takes a look at who could be held next year. every year at this time i get to look back on and forward to what's going on in germany in european politics with let's face

it a usually pretty forced best of moti 2050 most and the most cheerful of years here in europe a budget if you will that i've been able to get a hold of the letters to some said it was written by mrs merkel from with me to germany where i'm going to. has been elected to the role of leader of the christian democratic union party this year's a bit special though it's the last festive period with angola merkel as german chancellor she set to step down from the top job next autumn but i'm also well aware not to use these festive wrap ups in the past to announce the retirement of a major german political figure only to have them turn over the far more important position stepping down is the hope for their long serving outspoken leader interior minister horses the office said that he hopes to see all restrictions disappear dance why are even listed the help of a very special guest to go through the content is looking to take up residence in

the chancellor's office just behind me he's made a list he's checked it twice he's going to find out who's most likely going to win the nomination for the c.d.u. c.s.u. party and then according to reputable polling most likely the election next autumn . not really as catchy is the original is this whoa whoa whoa thanks for having me can i just ask you one question before we start. your sound it's just the accent it's a bit more. north pole and i'm pretty sure pretty sure baths reindeer is a dog in a reindeer suit. but notice further i'd pull over vi were you and i wanted to remain wrong the nice list well quite you mention here. famous least they're using math so how do the runners and riders buying to be the next german chancellor stack

up at the moment it looks like whoever gets the nod for the c.d.u. c.s.u. policy they've pretty much got it so i would look tough and they were it's a good time to be a roman catholic or loyal to the buddhist of the country whose model of the 3 brain content is 4 in brackets and all love song things voters are likely to find a role to be as well as nice and several analysts will video some sites like yelp to say that well i've done this now.

they aren't the only possibilities though are they. there's also a very small 'd chance that c.g. . turned all of the decision to stand. health minister again this could throw his hat into the ring you should get that c.d.u. c.s.u. nomination should be sorted out early next year but current coalition partners the social democrats they aren't doing too well with polling among voters are they nor to you list the way they were it would seem at least with the votes as anyway i couldn't possibly tell you what's on my actual list data protection the ones you see. you keep an eye on the greeks though they have big 'd big gains in recent months while it may be a stretch to say they have

a chance of government they may well have a big say in its makeup thanks very much for coming to talk to me it's just been busiest time of course anything coming up in the near future for you safe around of go forth leaves the body next month and then sometime in march supposed to go. through with the truth very that's the pending a lot of back say you know. before that i want to wish all of the boys and girls no matter how old you are a very merry christmas wow well that's quite the exist all what's left for me to do is wish you all a very merry christmas from all of us here in the german capital base for all of us . lefties i mean it is really. good. but. it's a testing time for science is the pandemic see skepticism over vaccines rise

perhaps not the best year then to behold an ignoble prize which celebrates the more absurd side of scientific research so if you have a nazi speaks to its founder. we'll all is uncertainty and stress this year i'm having an impression that i faith in science is becoming a little bit more shaky among the general public do you feel that good. yeah i think that's true for a few reasons part of it is that it around the world there are now some people who are. just automatically reacting to everything that happens by saying that's wrong don't trust it. another thing though that's happening is that for the 1st time in a long long time everybody is paying attention to scientists so now people are looking at what scientists actually do rather than what the movie version of scientists do in the movie version the scientists all they understand everything before they even begin to look at it that's not what really happens what really

happens is most of the time scientists are very confused about most things and they're not sure and they spend most of their time trying to be less confused trying to become a little more sure they never no scientist ever reaches the point where they completely understand everything but if you just grow up and you watch the movies and all your picture is scientists do understand everything so i think what's happening right now is everybody now every day you read the news and you think about scientists for at least a minute which you normally don't do and you see that what they're doing well they're not sure yet they think they have a vaccine that works but they're not quite sure well why aren't they sure you know the scientists are always sure about that well no that's not that's never what this and scientists did so what's really happened i think is scientists are now becoming real rather than fictional characters true people and real characters have some

confusion. 20 twentieth's cultural balls have largely been a war of words with many now bound for fear of causing offense political takes a look. it wasn't weight enough that in 2020 you couldn't leave the house. and everyone you knew was dressed as a heart surgeon accidently troops on a metal plate falls to the grown drop in the heart then the ever changing english language was getting even when thanks to the culture wars. and it wasn't just ted told changing the word of women to women which i still don't

a sentence that mazie hirono claim that sexual preference is an offensive and outdated term sexual orientation is a key part of a person's identity you're just going to hope you fall in love with all of this starts to make sense when you see that some university wasted some of its funding to conclude that full stops are offensive to millennium goals. don't get more informed of leading us conducted research that found that millennia old and gen z. is so rarely use punctuation when they message each other that when they receive a message with a full stop in it it can be seen as intimidating and a sign of passive aggression well there is how do you like. you and. you because that would you rather
