does know and he does as with visits and if isolation at home wasn't bad enough code has apparently evolved seemingly 1st detected in the u.k. and the mutation has spread from the americas so asia while countries shut their borders to british travelers hundreds already on skiing holiday in switzerland apparently gave the authorities and corrine seen the slip. many of them stayed in quarantine for a day before they left a notice on the cover of darkness it was when they saw the mule trace remains untouched that the hotel leaders noticed that the customers had gone but if you do decide to celebrate this year there are some key rules to follow the exam hands on so that with you do it should drinks with those as the new year kisses and hugs should only be shared with those in your immediate family and if you are thinking of catching some fireworks don't even bother going out it's all restricted cancelled or moving online.
12:07 am
but despite all the warnings and restrictions health officials don't seem to think any of it will actually prevent people from doing what they always do if you put more pressure on the system by what might be a post seasonal surge because of the travelling and the likely congregating of people it's very tough for people to not do that whether you stay home this new year's eve or celebrate it with family and friends apparently 2021 might get a lot worse before it gets better. great but away from covert for

the crew and the law getting department so that was a tough start for the luvvies but they don't actually all fall into the same category so for every 7 whimpering apologists cough cough which even phoenix. there are some people wondering won't but hell is going on and that colleagues 20 themselves in take. this year a whole enjoys playing nina simone in a 2016 film and she never even you know she said that she wasn't black enough to play the iconic singer she's blonde but she's not black enough and she would never be you know the way we have to apologize to people with limb differences because she played the grand high wage in the witches and had fewer than 5 fingers and toes . so when the remake of the movie the witches was released portraying the main
12:10 am
character who is missing fingers as evil and scary so what we've learned in 2020 is that no one should play any roles unless they all those roles. also when you got a problem acting just ain't what it used to be but when it gets really bad is when you get several actors together for a. good cause who can forget this cringe show this is all very it should signaling then should ever be allowed in one place. is not. easy to. be. with 'd the imagine video was a butchering of john lennon in the name of south aggrandizement. oh it was actually an attempt to make people feel better cheering the global
12:11 am
pandemic but it really only made things worse so many people were vomiting in response to it but it looked like a symbol of the coronavirus for the final word to actor chains of woods known for his unlovely like lean to the right through his one word reaction to the oscars planned for him for style versity madness. meantime news a small of the b.b.c.'s diversity chief has claimed white privilege in britain is still raw if you like that even the white working class is in a better situation the middle class people from ethnic minority but grows there is unfairness big to now system and while the elite white male is of the top of the tree even the white working class has an advantage over people from black and asian backgrounds so the critics have pointed out sarpong may not be ideally placed
12:12 am
though to comment all day lack of privilege considering she gets the large sum of 75000 pounds a year from the b.b.c. for just doing 3 days' work a week we asked people the streets of london our media gone whether she was right to speak. everyone's entitled to an opinion like no matter what like demographic they are so i think she's definitely entitled to her opinion i don't think income defines that. she makes a constant you silly she has no right. but we do. wish you would understand but see she's doing very well now. but we don't know what kind of barry she might make making plenty of time but he's got to have you know people who are there in the world want her children if it's pretty distorted the facts are more often from people who you know there is not much you might see if you like you can face that someone in such
12:13 am
a high earning like we thank god gets out of the race can come into that so when people get injured they don't understand the journey going sam came from so it's a lack of knowledge when they are in disconnecting and thinking this person she is just money but we don't know her journey so you need that i don't think june has got any right to criticize people on this there is a whole group of people not just in the b.b.c. but in north london who think they're better than a working class big box i accept if you're in the upper echelons of society and you're white like june or so says more doors are going to open for you but tell that to a white working class bloke from mars farm in luton they've got privilege we have a black man an asian middle class now june seems to ignore this they are idea that the white working class somehow have a great privilege absolute nonsense the statistics don't bear it out the most
12:14 am
prejudiced people against people at the moment is white working class bar boys who are not performing as well at school i just think all of this just doesn't help let's have a real equality and real tolerance. now that's a 2 way street. so i heard this morning world health chief put it another warning this time about the over use of covert antibiotics seems it's making sexually transmitted diseases not incurable it was a worry before seen just getting worse we'll explain more. seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out these days become educated and in gains from it equals betrayal.
12:15 am
when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. join me every 1st week on the alex simon shore and i'll be speaking to give us a little world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.
12:16 am
them only at 60 minutes past 8 moscow time now in the us we're already getting a glimpse of how things might shape up when joe biden takes office in january now it's been revealed the brother of one of biden's close to vices and secured a lobbying contract with online. steve ritchie formerly a lobbyist himself will soon run as a top white house counselor however it's come to like his brother jeff registered to lobby for imus and just after the presidential election sources close to the siblings insist they won't mix family and business jeff has never and will never lobby his brother on behalf of any of his clients and see have had no role in his brother's business since he sold his stake in the firm in 2012 stephen jeff keep
12:17 am
their professional activities distinctly separate we saw it only rivera from online news outlet reactionary times dot com who believes the lobbying post is far from a coincidence though. of course there's going to be conversations that take place between the brothers regarding amazon's interest and the fact that you know one of the brothers it has a direct line into the president but this is something you know the the institution of lobbying is something that's going to come under fire and under more scrutiny because it's joe biden as president and we already know all you know what out there $100.00 biden has done internationally we even have the progressive with in joe biden's only already looking deeper into the situation in addition to republicans watching the activities of the by the in ministration in regard to lobbying the progressive side are you know the elizabeth warren and even in the house the season people like that are already keeping an eye on what the activities are between the
12:18 am
biden ministration when any incoming hire of me were merely also worked in the lobbying. you know use treatment to cure covert 19 could accelerate the spread of so-called superbugs the world health organizations highlighted the significant rise in gonorrhea a sexually transmitted bacteria warning it could become incurable. microbial resisters may not seem as a pandemic but it is just as dangerous it threatens to unwind a century of medical progress and live on as defenseless against infection that today can be treated early. as well 6 used to treat code like chest and sinus infections now are also used for governor it is the problem during a pandemic they have been given out for inflammatory symptoms and to prevent the spread of corona virus but they've been largely ineffective however it's reportedly
12:19 am
allowed other bacteria to build resistance creating these super bugs that dogs when worry about for a long time that could become untreatable we talked to a leading role in just about the only use of such medicines. but iris is not stupid . and or a bacteria is not stupid it gets no it gets used to a certain antibiotic treatment regimen it this problem of antibiotic resistance has been around and has been increasing over the years without the pendennis as well and for sure what the pentagon has done is that the patients don't go to the doctor anymore because they're scared of going to the doctor because thinking if you do it if they go to the hospital or if they do go for example to a doctor's office they may get a virus because obviously patients will be sitting there this is a wrong assumption if asians are sick you should still go to the doctor does is very important secondly i think we should still be careful about resistance in general and this same remedy that we had a year ago or 2 years ago is still true today don't use antibiotic the problem of
12:20 am
resistance is there over use of antibiotics for irrelevant or minor infections and this is the problem this is the problem it was 2 years ago and is still a problem today. and you straight a coronavirus apparently been found in sweden in a woman who recently returned from the u.k. the swedish government's put forward a bill for strict measures if passed by the country's parliament it would allow authorities to shut down businesses and find those floating the roles of course all that marks a big break from earlier the more hands off approach in the country which the government has since admitted was a failure. image galbally very serious situations the government may decide on little far reaching measures to prevent crowding that would include the closure of shops public transport shopping centers or are they to it is covered by the law we are talking about certain types of trading places with the risk of spreading the disease is assessed as high and where there is a lot of crowding. when the coronavirus pandemic hit in their february march
12:21 am
sweden's approach to the crisis is contrast it starkly with most other countries you might recall the so-called swedish model relying largely on voluntary social distancing of the development of herd of unity among the population while avoiding sweeping lockdowns public life are made largely unaffected even at the height of the pandemic drawing criticism at the time from sweden's neighbors with some even closing their borders in response the founder and chairman of swedish professors and doctors for human rights believes that he measures are the only way to save lives. this will end the air was truly bigoted to protect the economy business and of course because being a slave trade and industry etc can be enough of a sunday. they will not be prone to to close the schools because in that case their 25 percent of their own labor force will be temporary last forced sort of study aiming to protect your economy there
12:22 am
are not to say most notable to look down and strict measures is the only way to at least try do condemned to both their morbidity and mortality produced by these failures you will solve this situation with more and more measures and i was trying to alter the strategy you need to qualitative change here and not into an over strategy rule to mean in a stress in a basin not name it to suit economy but to save lives i mean it should be you know it has to be a human rights. perspective and there are thing you know if you were here to do to say laos and similar concerns in south korea 2 or 3 people have come from the u.k. or been diagnosed with a new strain of corona virus they comes amid a rising covert infections in that country as a whole leading experts to one of the 3rd wave of the virus.
12:23 am
it is a positive sign that we have suppressed the sudden increase to around $1000.00 cases but we are also failing to lower the number to turn the situation around we are going to set a special quarantine period until january in the 3rd call i'm confident we will be able to better the situation of. the virus is spreading whenever and wherever it wants as we stand at the crossroads of the 3rd wave how we stop the spread hinges on how we spend this year and a new period.
12:24 am
compared to the 1st 2 waves that south korea had in march and then in the summer the recent infections aren't cluster infections like the other ones there are not as geographically specifically it's more difficult to track and trace because right now the infections that we're seeing are popping up all over the country and all over the city the capital city of seoul the government has. been thinking about increasing the social distancing measures to level 3 which would be the highest level here in south korea were currently under level $2.00 but the problem with this is that it would significantly hurt the economy further and the economy has already been hurt a lot this year because of the pandemic the spike from $200.00 cases per day to
12:25 am
$1200.00 cases now is a particularly alarming for the government. well that's it for now thanks for watching r.t. this tuesday morning my name is kevin i would back with more in 30 minutes from the team mean time season's greetings to you and have a great day.
