headlining this one day morning here in russia vaccination with a sputnik very covert starts for people over 60 the group most affected by the virus of the health ministry approved the jobs safety and efficacy. as coronavirus vaccination rolls out across europe citizens are hugely divided on the issue. i think we did not have enough feedback on the specs and them i meant i think everyone should take it because that's the only way we're going to have never heard of anybody get out of trouble. and full intensive care units force california clinics to set up makeshift wards and beds out daws one is an emotional appeal. we're stuck now we were running low on oxygen on supplies he

have patients in overflow overflow overflow areas. are there good morning from moscow this 28th of december live from marty's world news age cutes kevin owen here for the next half hour with the latest great every company 1st that covert vaccination programs are rolling out worldwide here in russia the elderly are starting to get the split up at the weekend the health ministry broadened its priority list for the shop to include those over the age of 60 after the safety and efficacy tests were concluded frontline workers have been 1st in line earlier this month let's go live to a correspondent trying to the small they want to help. vaccination center is going to be particularly busy time then over with the russian christmas and before the russian new year. well kevin good

morning and finally i am talking to you because there's good news about cold but there's good news about vaccination and definitely times are about to get busy in centers like this one where i am right now it's a bit too early because the vaccination here kicks off in about an hour but still we're here we're ready for it we're ready to talk to the doctors and patients and i mean it is common knowledge that the older you are the more likely it is that you could come towards the issues with covert and the tougher it is. for you to get better in this kind of situation so definitely monday is a milestone and from now on in the russian capital if you are in that age group 60 plus you can get enrolled and most likely you'll find yourself in a situation when you'll be able to forget about everything we've been sick and

tired of this year so of course this explains why the moscow mayor is so happy and proud and by the way he's already been vaccinated to the russian ministry of health has approved the opportunity for the older generation to be vaccinated against coated 19 but the sputnik the jap it's great elderly people of the biggest risk group which is the most severely affected by the disease starting monday we're opening registration for vaccination i can say so myself they really would. so the program was very quick to kick off it kicks off 2 days after the russian ministry of health gave the green light for the vaccination we know that the clinical trials for the sputnik the vaccine for that age group show that it's absolutely safe and besides this pointed to 90 percent efficacy but

there are certain people that will have to watch out for side effects those with chronical diseases and allergies so in order for you to get the green light from the doctor you really have to go through some serious tests and see if you're good to go but other than that you can simply go on the web site. are you everything's pretty simple i've seen it myself something that's very handy because it can be done online now something that people are worried about at this point of course is the new strain that we keep getting news about from the u.k. and from some european countries and we've heard from the person who's been behind the development of the put make the vaccine that the trials have shown that it looks like sputnik the should be effective against these new strains

based on the information we've. received but was she in. games and used a strain. or does it seem. very well used by previous mutations. you will probably lose despite oh oh. so in about 55 minutes in this clinic kevin i'll get back to you and i'll see if there are any lines i'll talk to the people who come here for this vaccine we know that still there are loads and loads of numbers of people who are still worried about it because they're worried about the side effects but definitely a confidence boost for them will be the fact that vladimir putin has already announced that he will be getting the job too and we know that mr putin is 68 years old so yes he is in that age group that just received the green light from the

russian ministry of health. and it was a year it's been ok we'll check back here in an hour's time when the vaccination starts to kick off the. come back to us later in. the vaccination center in central moscow meantime one person's provan that even if you already did have the virus there is hope no matter your age in central russia our next story comes from the diseases defeated by one brave lady who's reached a very special landmark. i don't know what the secret of my recovery as but i know that we need to keep calm and preserve our nerves but a lot of the. minute

she was hospitalized in a relatively severe condition she was upbeat 10 responded well to the treatment she recovered quickly felt really precious to us and we monitored her around the clock . to see because. we're grateful to the doctors she's an optimist and radiates positivity that's why she's made us have to forestall. well that's russia the e.u. has launched a cross border vaccination program with the target of an all adults by next year contracts have been secured with suppliers for more than 2000000000 vaccine doses however polls point to high levels of hesitancy towards the show. in france where the battle against the pandemics complicated by both a lack of vaccines and skepticism over the. 1000000 that if they make the

number of people that own plans to vaccinate by the end of. the focus now nursing homes like this one and other facilities with senior citizens and vulnerable individuals and emergency workers 1st in line to say the vaccination is the only way to stop the virus that people here in france split on the issue. i'm not really i think we did not have enough feedback on this fact. and at the moment even if it can save lives maybe it would be good to wait a little. i am for vaccines normally it takes 10 years of research and testing but in this case as the vaccine has been readied very quickly i have mixed feelings i would do it's hard for me if. i was really the person to do weird or if i had to do it to trouble i think everyone should take it because that's the only way we're going to have enough herd immunity to get out of the problem or i don't see

a need to have a vaccination that probably wouldn't have one recent poll suggests that about half the population is again getting inoculated and it's not just me and 2 vets newsman there are real fears that the vaccination has nothing takes to popping in the u.k. and us the number of people who have developed a severe reaction to the vaccination as has happened in other countries and then on top of that there's a general mistrust to the government something we appeal to the population feel that president upon fumbled his way for the 2nd way to do people here feel that power has its hand on top of things now all we could hear was so one thing that day and other things that we've been existing i think it's easy to criticize when you're not in their shoes i think you might have a harder look down and maybe not let people go so free over christmas i can see they did a good job or a bad job i think they just did what they could work out schools people and there

is a lot of sick people as a result we don't have that in the union. in the tubes for future reason mom and it's really difficult the corona virus is europe's worst public health disaster in over a century as you can see winter when the food wave is already upon us even though hoping that this late took a goal out to unity and health but 1000000 vaccinations. it is only a small fraction of the 17 odd 1000000 adults here in france over the age of 60 if that is the way that paris plans to beat this is lethal virus it needs to act and act fast police here are 2 terrorists. donald trump finally signed off on a coronavirus relief and government funding bill to get cash to citizens and businesses as well as avert an imminent government shutdown the president had

threatened to veto the bill which would have left millions out of pocket and derailed a deal that had taken months to agree i am signing this bill to restore unemployment benefits stop evictions provide rental assistance and money for p.p.p. return our airline workers back to work at substantially more money for vaccine distribution and much more the delays already done damage welfare benefits for millions of jobless americans have expired and it could be weeks now before the next payment the $2.00 trillion dollar package includes $900000000000.00 in pandemic aid and one of $600.00 payment for all americans who qualify but trumpet said that's not enough and wanted to raise it to $2000.00 by cutting foreign aid elsewhere in the plan the house of representatives are set to vote on it later monday those relief funds are particularly needed in the state of california the los angeles has been hit hard by covert over the christmas period with 30000 new

infections in the last 2 days alone hospitals are struggling to cope with a surge in patients this month one nurse recalled an emotional appeal while battling coronaviruses self. you her sister home. you don't need to go to our court her. through her of her of our number. across southern california intensive care units are full with overwhelmed hospital setting up makeshift outdoor wards and beds this county even reportedly sent out rushing guidelines for clinics to give less care to those less likely to survive it's still unclear whether those guidelines were implemented this was his santini again warning the situation is at breaking point we're stuck now we were running low on oxygen on supplies on you know all the respiratory drugs definitely bad definitely staff we don't have enough staff we are beyond stretched we have

patients in overflow overflow overflow areas that were never intended to have patients other hospitals are setting out makeshift units outside of the hospital our government they blew it all so they could have released to the defense production act and ramped up the production of p.p. and all the other supplies that we need and they didn't do that so the whole the whole nations in a big big predicament of how we're going to be able to treat patients safely and give them the care that they need. officials have issued a safer home order to try and stop the virus apart for a minimum urgencies gatherings for anything other than political or religious purposes a band most non-essential company has been forced to shut down the city mayor people think twice about their plans over the festive period. there's no

celebrating this year for health care workers who are facing the toughest times they've ever seen for them we're staying home for them we're skipping holiday parties every sacrifice makes a difference to stopping the covert 900 surge a lot of programs of this teeny blames public recklessness rather control infections i can't even a mountain would be like to be a governor right now the state. especially california california is a powerhouse right it's got the 6th largest economy in the world and. the fact that you know businesses are shutting down you have a lot of very vocal californians and and they were giving him a tremendous amount of pressure to open up and i understand that but you could open up safely and people just weren't big satan why i would drive by bars and people would have their masks off and there be it be densely densely crowded and then you hear people like running out homes and having parties where there's 1000 people

there so it's the public it's us it's the ignorance of the human being we continue to. defy the recommendations of the c.d.c. we continue to gather and i understand how important holidays are there just as important for me i haven't seen my family in minds it's terribly serious and people need to understand that you have to be careful and it doesn't matter your age it doesn't matter yes it dies it does it matters your age and your cum or biddies but there's plenty of younger people that have died from this. you know away from covert to as we come to the end of the couple of puff the program public figures get flack for their own conventional views on the big stories of 2020 or across it when the back.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safer. by salacious community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true or what is right. in the world. erupted you need to descend. to join us live. for a mate in the shallow. 2020 he's been here like you know what now is a crisis changed our lives how we look. that

may never reach. a good morning 17 past the hour now if you are watching the clock now max from corona virus to black lives matter 20 twentieth's but the year of historic stories both good next. takes a look at the response to famous names whose views on those issues go against maybe conventional wisdom. frontlines of the culture wars in 2020 not everyone gave up on the practice of insulting everyone and not carrying these red beasts who face. basically this is it there was something about when i put this handle and maybe through like superman kanye west with with

a my guy that's based on a freedom and 1st of all just doing something that everybody tells you not to do london had teacher katherine bubbles saying gives 0. count the box why the local races when faced with the idea of putting down statues and di colonizing the curriculum she gave a reply that came straight from your grandad and now we're talking about the colonizing the particular it is not about the colonizing curriculum it's about getting good behavior in our schools how can you support a social justice warrior these days well just chest hair and. they spend so much time meeting down against racism that there's hardly any skin left so guess what happened when basketball legend charles barkley said you know greed is a very slippery slope. because. if you don't me you

will this lead to quite a few of those caring people to get out all stanley's and declared a racist who was only speaking up for his white ghost buddies must know what i want to say get it get on to your knees or they'll come for you. cave said it best when he said political correctness is guys the county and happy to make anyone else it is a concord majorly bad religion random luck what does need cave me well let me explain using the giants of the intellectual doc web. when megaupload cost. his show over to spotify earlier this year for something like a gazillion dollars people at the company said that they were so upset that he wasn't being censored and that they were alienated by his views did you see that guy accidently hit that moved his car. pull the video. my god oh my god

oh my god they demanded we're p.t.'s meetings with management you know this is probably overinflated all that spotify stuff is is just complete fodder they have literally said nothing to me about it it was a similar story. jordan pietists reportedly started the company that was publishing his latest book was so good that it was being published but they ended up being. m.m.a. scrap turned actress gina carano brinkley want to get into a fight with. has been expressing the wrong kind of politics she doesn't think the election is about she doesn't whiteface mosques and now her opponents have started. fire gina carano. you probably are the political correctness is

seems has taken over multinationals as well with some companies making conspicuous donations to high profile causes what a fun it world. so much 2020 you see most of us go through a lot of worry life changing event governments who have always kept up zoning in on from this next morning which has struggled through like many nations but there's also coping with its own unique problems reports from paris. when 2020 or roy was hailed as a double digits you need something that was pretty special that only happens every 100 years or so well special it certainly was.

by the end of the month we had an inkling that things were about to get worse or worse 19 can be kind of. a pandemic. the fashion industry soon was doing was it does best for dictating what we would all soon be wearing mosques soon they wore hot property arrests for selling contraband mosques became headline news as the government requisition the mole for health authorities. during the 1st wave nurses had to deal with not only the coronavirus epidemic but with the shortage of mosques gloves and overcoats we ended up wearing trash bags at a time when everyone was supposed to be fighting the pandemic we were left without the means of doing so there was a lack of equipment and the french government was responsible for that they should have been strategic stocks of surgical masks and not the gear now if things really

started to go downhill france and the states 1st looked on the borders were closed like this we work in the stadiums in the sea a terrace we ensure security in the event sector and since march everything's been stopped and it still hasn't resumed all the hotels were closed there were very very few hotels open during the 1st wave the hotels that stayed open did so to accommodate people in difficulties. but there was an enormous amount of worry and we didn't. have the sense of being heard alone can find spring left to many with pent up energy as restrictions eased up health care workers filled the streets fear is being underpaid and under appreciated.

as summer drew to an end the warnings of the 2nd wave ted leave in the 1st kill b.s. parents took action introducing mass commissions as record actions were registered it was over to the closures began. anger was palpable. but government promised these measures would be enough they would be no return to a 2nd lockdown instead a curfew that promise fell like a pack of cards before the month was art. just a consultation with scientists dialogue with economic political and social players and after exchanges with all of our partners and weighing the pros and cons i've decided that as of friday we need to go back to the lockdown that stopped the virus

. but i know businesses were really feeling the squeeze. for us 2020 was a horrible year and we have the impression that 2021 is going to be even worse our biggest problem in the catering industry is that there is no recovery date and no restart date. and there's a there are inconsistences and how things were decided it's been said that there are certain sectors started were able to raise you that's not a problem but it's the others that are paying it's absurd i left. got me about things are still very bad because we have asked to restart our work but we can't we have to continue paying our expenses except there is no money coming back to us there's nothing in fact as france headed into the winter it still wasn't out of the woods. all. nursing staff learned from the 1st way if we can now take better care of patients but the government has failed to learn its lessons there is

the problem of hospital bed shortages and lack of means to deal with the virus and during the partial lockdown we saw the 35 percent of infection cost is in education institutions but the government is nothing about that there were serious mistakes by the government and it makes us question our confidence in the authorities as the new drew to an end restrooms pause the it is museums all remain shells of their former selves a fresh could if it was announced in france finds itself facing an uncertain future as the bells ringing for 2021 so let's r.t. paris if you're still celebrating the 1st of a tease this morning run the world reviewer hope you have a good one and hope the day goes well that's the route from moscow so far check it out to dot com as mentioned earlier on for whatever stories as they happen throughout the day or our social media as well of course keep it all in starting off.

was a pandemic no certainly no borders i'm just blind to nationalities. as americans we don't come with certainty we don't look like seeing the whole world beats to be. judged as commentary crisis like this president in my time so we can do better we should be. everyone is contributing each are our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together.

when i was told seemed wrong but old old just don't call. me old but yet to shape out of this day comes out ahead and it gains from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when chance to look for common ground. today the industry the 1st time the extent of your. daily conditions will be all about making money making profits in some of the corporations international markets import export do you imagine the number of

printing diseases that are in every community it is no due to new viruses or new microbes that is not true so it is due to environment. not going to say you know that moment all discipline. really just accumulate could only come into it seemed to be sad. if the so food industry is successful it will create more jobs it will create more value it will create more growth so i don't see why we shouldn't also fight for the interest something into st cloud said that we are british and we want regulation i was in just any freedom to hear you saying yes penalties that's fine.
