the headlines in r.t. as intensive care units in california fail or during the pandemic clinics are forced to set up makeshift camps side one nurse tells us just how bad the situation has become. we're stuck now we were running low on oxygen on supplies we have patients in overflow overflow overflow areas. here in russia sleepy vaccinations begin for people over 60 against code but 90 after the health ministry approved the job safety and efficacy and vaccinations are being rolled out across europe too but people are hugely to fight it on the issue. i think we do not have enough feedback on this vaccine at the moment i think everyone should take it

because that's the only way we're going to have enough urgent need to get out of the problem. though good afternoon welcome you're watching r.t. international just gone 3 o'clock in moscow now december has been the most deadly month in the u.s. since the pandemic began and in los angeles county hospitals are struggling to cut back after $43000.00 cope with infections in just 3 days over the christmas period well across southern california intensive care units are full and overwhelmed hospitals assessing up makeshift towards and beds of sanjay's cancer even reportedly sent out rationing guidelines for clinics to give less care to those less likely to survive although it is still unclear whether those guidelines have been implemented this month one nurse filmed an emotional appeal while battling coronavirus herself. you her his true home you don't need to go our

court her. through her of her of war or murder or. macias antin either he's now a long way through her recovery told r.t. that the situation is that 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 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 well a officials have issued a safer at home order to try and stop the virus a gatherings for anything other than emergencies and political or religious purposes abandoned most on the central companies have been forced to shut the city met people to 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 with staying home for them we're skipping holiday parties every sacrifice makes a difference to stopping the kovac 900 so. losses santini again blames public recklessness for the spiraling rate of infections. i can't even imagine what it 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 saving 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 does it does it matters your agent your cum or didn't but there's plenty of younger people that have died from this. here in russia 27000 u.k. with cases were recorded over the last 24 hours a lot of people are known to be more susceptible to be heard there with almost half the people catching the virus in moscow over 46 however one person has proven that there is hope no matter what your age is the disease has been defeated by one very brave lady who has been celebrating a special landmark. it's that i don't know what the secret of my recovery as but i know that we need to keep calm and preserve our nerves was a lot of. money

so she was hospitalized in a relatively severe condition she was upbeat 10 responded well to the treatment she recovered quickly she 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 happy foresaw. well people over 60 in russia are now starting to get the sputnik for a jab at the weekend the health ministry broaden this priority list for the shot off to safety and efficacy tests were concluded for mine workers have been 1st in line this month our correspondent visited

a moscow vaccination sent. so monday is definitely a milestone because if you're in that most vulnerable age group 60 plus you can now get enrolled and most likely finally forget about everything we've gotten sick and tired of in 2020 that explains why moscow's mayor is so proud and happy 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 covert 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 then really works the vaccination program kicked off only 2 days after the announcement from the russian health ministry so i managed to speak to the people who are so desperate to get the job they did it in the morning right on the 1st day. i love to finally take off my most skin future

saying that i had seen may let me do that. since i heard about the vaccination i wanted to get it 1st this is how condemn it can be stopped and 2nd i just love to travel truly. remote you need to get a job a new way the disease a serious challenge to the elderly and youngsters to some discover they've been infected without symptoms but i'd rather not gamble. clinical trials showed 90 percent efficacy and an impressive safety record although only a few months ago the critics were skeptical about the vaccines numbers for the side effect rates however at this point the sport the b. team says that about 15 percent of the patients get the side effects which include muscle pain fever and headache whether that number is good enough to silence the critics well that's up for you to decide but at any case all the applicants must go

through very serious medical free vaccination screening to do and if you're doing some nation screening is common practice that person undergoes the same examination before the flu vaccine it's done to exclude risks from acute illness or affix you know the g.'s and to measure temperature as well as to assess health in terms of chronic disease if people fit the criteria we include them in the vaccination group for those who have not yet made up their mind on whether to go forward or not there is something that will probably serve as a confidence boost vladimir putin's decision to get the jab here as part of that age group that's just gotten the green light to the russian president is 68 years old. meanwhile the e.u. has launched a cross border vaccination program with the targeted inoculating every adult in 2021 contracts have been secured with supplies for more than 2000000000 vaccine doses however polls do show that

a lot of people still has it and about taking the jap and that's particularly the case in france with more from there his poor sleep. 1000000 that if he makes a number of people that want to bet made by the end of. the focus now nursing homes like this one and the facility where it is then vulnerable individuals and emergency workers 1st in line to say the vaccination is the only way to. stop the virus 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 even if it can save lives maybe it will be good to wait a little bit i am for a vaccine 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 hard for me if. i was really the person to do with 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 i probably wouldn't have one recent poll suggests that about half the population is against it 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 there are a 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 to the population feel that present a chronic fumbled his way for the sick the way to do people here feel that paris has its hand on top of things now overcrowded here so one thing a day another one for when you get 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 sick people as a result we don't have any need. to use this for soup cherries i'm on it's really difficult the corona virus is europe's worst public health disaster in over a century as you can see winter in the 3rd wave is a wave. upon that even they are hoping that this latest rollout will fit here 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 to before virus it needs to act and act fast. r.t. paris. in other news hundreds of old brought to book traffic in israel over the

by the end of the month we had an inkling that things were about to get worse far worse 19 can be kind of to know is the pandemic. the fashion industry soon was doing was it does best were dictating 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. appearing 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 other gear. things really started to go downhill fronts in the states 1st looked on the borders were closed like this we worked in the stadiums in the theater us 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 2nd wave won't fade leaving the 1st killed yet parents took action introducing my aspirations as record sections were registered then as the closures began. ungar 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. 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 we need to go back to the lockdown the stop the virus. but i know business is we're really feeling the squeeze a lot. rust 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 other start 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 fraunces headed into the wind it's still wasn't what of

the woods. or. 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 look time we saw the 35 percent of infection clusters were in education institutions but the government did 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 restaurants because the it is museums all remain shells of their former selves a fresh curfew was announced in france finds itself facing an uncertain future as the bells ring in for 2021. auti paris. just approaching hostname afternoon here in moscow good to have you company i will have more stories on the headlines at the top of the.
