headlining this monday lunchtime full intensive care units force california clinics to set up makeshift wards and played outdoors now tells us just how bad the situation is getting. we're stuck now we were running low on oxygen and supplies the house in overflow overflow overflow areas. here in russia vaccination with a split levy covert job starts for people over 60 years of age today the group most affected by the virus the health ministry approved the jobs safety and efficacy. coronavirus vaccination rolls out across europe too but citizens no less hugely divided on whether or not to get it. i think we did not have enough feedback on the

specs and at the moment i think everyone should take it because that's the only way we're going to have enough or to be get out of the problem. there good afternoon from oscar the 28th of december live from marty's world news age q my name is kevin i would give the next 30 minutes good to have you company so 1st as you heard in those headlines we're going to focus on los angeles county in the u.s. but place recording more than 30000 new code infections in the last 2 days alone if you hospital struggling to cope across southern california intensive care units are full with overwhelmed hospital setting up makeshift outdoor wards and beds in this county even reported sending out rationing guidelines for clinics to give less care to those less likely to survive it's still unclear whether or not those guidelines were implemented this month one nurse filled an emotional appeal or battling

coronavirus herself. you don't need a girl. or of our member. going on to tell us the situation is 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 so l.a. officials have issued a safer at home order to try and stop the virus apart from in emergencies that means gatherings for anything other than political or religious purposes about and most no essential companies be forced to shut down the city may 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 1000 surge well as she knows firsthand mercia santini again blaming public recklessness for out of control infection i can't even

imagine what it be like to be a governor right now of a 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 they would be if 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 mines 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 agent your cum or biddies but there's plenty of younger people that have died from this. warning that what here russia is registered 27000 new cases in the last day alone older people as we heard are known to be more susceptible with almost half the people catching the virus here in moscow over the age of 46 however one person is proving that those hope no money or a huge story backs them from central russia that the disease has been defeated by one really brave lady who's reached an amazing special landmark. it's i don't know what the secret of my recovery ends but i know that we need to

keep calm and preserve our nerves a. little so she was hospitalized in a relatively severe condition she was upbeat and responded well to the treatment she recovered quickly felt really precious to us and we wanted to. see because. we're grateful to the doctors she's an optimist and radiates positivity that's why she's made us happy for saw. and heard what i'm doing great good health to you so vaccine covert programs are rolling out worldwide and also here in russia the elderly are starting to get the sport now at the weekend the health ministry broaden its priority list for the shot

to include those over the age of $65.00 to safety and efficacy tests were concluded frontline workers had been 1st in the line earlier this month a correspondingly portraying care the smalling was a vaccination center. of course it's finally great to get some good news about kolb it out last vaccination centers in moscow including at the clinic where i am right now are getting more busy because the program is kicking off and i can tell you that here i've already spoken to the 1st person from that age group 60 plus to get the job. i love to finally take off my most can future thing that i had seen may let me do that so monday is definitely a milestone here in russia because pretty much anyone from that age group 60 plus at least in the russian capital could get enrolled and that case most

likely forget about everything that we've become so sick and tired of this year and that explains why the moscow mayor is proud and happy and by the way has been vaccinated to the russian ministry of health has approved the opportunity for the older generation to be vaccinated against code 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 is kicking off exactly 2 days after the russian ministry of health gave the green light for the vaccination of the elderly people and i can tell you that the clinical trials for this age group have showed that it's safe and pointed to 90 percent efficacy that is despite earlier criticism from some experts that we're talking about the high likelihood of

side effects which include fever muscle pain and headaches and it's been reported that about 15 percent of those who get the job could face the side effects but again clinical trials at the end of. but they are saying that despite the people who go for the job everything will be ok and that's again definitely a breakthrough the people that will really have to watch out for the side effects are those with allergies and quantum illnesses so before making the decision on whether to get vaccinated or not you really have to go through a very serious medical checkup and this is exactly what i asked the head of this clinic about a little earlier live there and if you could look at some of the nation's screening is common practice in person undergoes the same examination before the flu vaccine it's done to exclude risks from acute illness or if it's you know a g.'s and to measure temperature as mothers to assess health in terms of chronic disease if people fit the criteria we include them in the vaccination group. so

it's obvious that there are many many people who have still not made up their mind on whether they should get the job or not but definitely an extra confidence boost for them will be the fact that we heard from. secretary that the russian president will get vaccinated as well and we know that he is part of that age group as well the russian leader is 68 years old. ok so that is here elsewhere the e.u. has launched a cross border vaccination program with the target of an all adults 2021 contracts have been secured with suppliers for more than 2000000000 vaccine doses however polls point to high levels of hesitancy towards the shot. next that in france where the battle against the pandemics complicated by both the lack of vaccines at the moment and skepticism over whether or not to get the job. 1000000 that's the

it's to make the number of people that own guns to decimate 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 the people here in france are split on the issue just above all civil i'm not really in favor i think we do not have enough feedback on this vaccine at the moment and even if it can save lives maybe it will be good to wait a little least you will know that 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 an experience i would do it for me if. i was really the person to do read 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 the vaccination that probably wouldn't have one recent poll suggests that about half the population is against to be inoculated and it's not just me and 2 vets movement 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 allergic reaction to the vaccination as has happened in other countries and then on top of that there is a general mistrust to the government something we call took the population feel that president upon fumbled his way for the 2nd way to do people here feel that paris has its hand on top of things now all we could hear it was so one thing a day another one for you the next day so i think it's easy to criticize when you're not in their shoes i think you might have a harder lockdown maybe not that people grow so free over christmas i can't say they did a good job or a bad job i think they just did what they could i worked out schools people and there is a lot of. see people as

a result we don't have. in to this. issue cherries and it's really difficult to come on a virus is your worst public health disaster in over a century as you can see winter in the 3rd wave is already upon us thank you even our hoping that this latest rollout will fit here in unity and help but 1000000 vaccinations 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 elite of virus it needs to act and act fast. r.t. terrorists. way from co would run the world in 60 seconds hundreds of altar orthodox jews are seeing here blocking traffic in israel over the arrest of a religious student who refused to join the army 13 protesters were detained one

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallow. 2020 has been a year like you know what now is a coming crisis changed our lives how we look and. meet. things in a few years that may never reach. 2020 the year that was from coronavirus to black lives matter it's been a year of historic stories mainly bad some good. boy connex takes a look at the response to famous names whose views on those issues that came up in

the year go against conventional wisdom the. frontlines of the culture wars in 2020 not everyone gave up on the practice of insulting everyone and not carrying these red beasts who faced. basically this is it there was something about when i put this handle and maybe through like superman kanye west with strong winds. that. are so 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 colonizing the curriculum she gave a reply that came straight from your grandad and now we're talking about the

colonizing the curriculum 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 church. they spend so much time kneeling down against racism that there's hardly any skin left so guess what happened when basketball legend charles barkley said you know freedom is a very slippery slope. because. if you don't know you will this lead to quite a few of those caring people to get out all steadies and declare buckley 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 they come here and happy to make anyone else in the congo i think really bad really good random luck what is neat cave me

well let me explain using the giants of the intellectual dark web. when maggette podcast and moved 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. oh 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 write about it it was a similar story for. jordan pietists reportedly stall for the company that was publishing his latest book was so bitter that it was being published that they ended up being. m.m.a.

unique problems charlotte dubinsky reports from power. when 2020 or roy was hailed as a double digit c.s. 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. the pandemic. the fashion industry soon was during war does best predicting what we would all soon be wearing mosques soon they were hot property arrests were

selling contraband mosques became headline news as the government requisition the role for health authorities. to the poor in the 1st wave nurses had to deal with not only the coronavirus epidemic but with the shortage of mosques gloves and overcoat 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 because they're selling to us we work in the stadiums in the theater as 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 under appreciated. drew to an end to warnings a rest 2nd wave they believe in the 1st will be yet parents took action introducing mass graves is like or actions were registered voters or to the closures began a good young girl was hopeful.

the 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. did it start to feel like the after 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 i need to go back to the lockdown the stop the virus. but i know business is we're really feeling the squeeze i don't see that plus 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 to ask 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's still wasn't what the woods. or at the nursing staff learned from the 1st way if we can now take better care of patients but the government fell to learn its lessons there was the problem of hospital bed shortages and lack of means to deal with the virus and during the posh long time we saw the 35 percent of infection classed as were in education institutions but the government is nothing about that there were serious mistakes by the government and it makes us question a confidence in the authorities as the new drew to an end dressed rolls balls the it's museums all remain shells of their former selves

a pandemic and instead of implementing these. emergency plan the prime minister chose to loosen all the all the constraints and now we are paying the price for it the chances of these down to very low and. economic oh i see the suffering of millions of people it is devastating it's still not too late to do the right things but they need political will and the capacity to make decisions namely to concentrate on the place where their option is really hot it mainly other concentration in their own tell to go concentration and manage it in a way that will minimize the damage to economy and suffering for all people while empowering.
