december in the headlines this lunchtime new york threatens a 1000000 dollar fines for vaccine fraud after launching a criminal probe into a medical center and thinks illegally obtained covert jabs. relatives of elderly people in french care homes demand visiting rules be relaxed one of the restrictions or even more damaging to health than covert itself. is there some homes are only allowing this it's in receiving rooms there like rooms for jail visits other residents in our new sink home are physically and mentally exhausted. leading actors rushed to apologize for their own performances not being diverse enough critics question whether the whole woke movement's going to be too far.

in the afternoon here in moscow good day than from out international let me kevin know and i'm here for the next 30 minutes with the update thanks for the company 1st new york governor andrew cuomo has announced up to $1000000.00 fines for corona virus vaccine fraud after the new york city police department opened a criminal probe into a medical center it suspects obtained covert shots illegally we want to send a clear signal to the providers that if you riaa late for law on these vaccinations we will find out you will be prosecuted. authorities think parker community health network applied for distribution rights by fraudulently claiming it was a legitimate medical clinic but as r.t.c. goes down off reports today there are fears that these new types of vaccine fraud

could develop more and more. in 2020 v is for vaccine after months of trials and tribulations they've left the labs for the global market and dozens more are on the way this paints a picture of abundance but the reality couldn't be further from the truth the hope had been the jobs would crush the virus before christmas. the. birth. of the. but it's a free market and for the right money demand will always be satisfied with supply queue the dark web the internet's underbelly a silk road for drug traffickers weapons smugglers document forgers and other

business that falls on the wrong side of the law now priced at several $100.00 a short vials claiming to contain a vaccine against covert 19 have filled virtual shelves in the us a whole homeland security squad has been tasked with prowling shady marketplaces any time do something new out there anyway the scammer can exploit consumers they will interpol is warning that criminal gangs could raid stockpiles as governments are preparing to roll out vaccines criminal organizations are planning to infiltrate or disrupt supply chains another scam targets the most vulnerable the elderly with phony calls luring them into fake vaccine. appointments the most gullible are also falling for these adverts on take talk a social network even though vaccine passports don't exist yet even legitimate

medical institutions have been suspected of fraudulently obtaining and distributing jabs like this new york based provider though it denies any wrongdoing. we overrate you're going to see it the state to look after us there are so many individuals and also organized crime networks out there that are looking to make big bucks out of any situation of course you will have people in the dark willing to sell you have others merely willing to try to steal the information to make trucks the whole point of this is so criminals work across the world so your criminals are operating in parts of europe that are also linked up with people in the middle east and also in southeast asia and of course that makes it very difficult for individual priests in countries to eschew a determine where this stuff is coming from we have the same issue with the drugs

trade and and we've never been able to solve that problem it's all about protecting ourselves from covert 19 but before most of us make a socially distanced queue to get a vaccine there's another dark virus below this. or back to getting that job pfizer's covert vaccine has become the 1st to gain approval with medical workers and the elderly among the 1st in line to get the job as a ready come across difficulties logistics problems for more let's go live to paris correspondent for the bensky paris hi there charlotte what obstacles are there in the vaccination hurdle race there than where you are. rarely without this vaccination the 1st to be approved. as you mentioned there a barrier the e.u. is the family's umbrella vaccination for couvade lowkey mean little to use to a killer as moot as the brics food a 150 moons citizens as possible over the next the memphis people try to top

cuckoo. now as you mentioned the member of hiccups that will stay up with the issues regarding temperature as you may require reports in the fervor fansub tech vaccine has to be stored in temperatures around 70 degrees celsius this is a deep freeze that many many countries have access to that has to be stored at those temperatures in a consistent basis if moved it could move to the vaccine itself is i'm very brutal as essentially. be as effective as the company suggests it should be at most shipments i read in bavaria in germany and medical workers rude little bit suspect about how the continuously being delivered and the temperatures that they were kept to as such they just sat there but they wouldn't really write the vaccine there was

also considered lupron some of the various of the vaccine and found out that they had been shipped him essentially says that they usually used for a picnic but since there's such ever city's mayor question i have also to say i took at the at the home death from grooming out this vaccine. if there is even the slightest chance that the vaccine does not meet the quality criteria 100 percent the batch will not be deployed. prove that suit really matters so see them every week up and this is ok to do you would deliver and this is about the 2nd supply to send european countries with the spanish health ministry suggesting that the right european countries didn't receive the shit 2nd shipment until and then came that was due to the fact that the images. sticky issues with trying to deliver this vaccine but incredibly temperature that some of us into it the spanish test ministry had to say. spain indicates that it has been informed by its factory in

belgium of the doing shipments to 8 european countries including spain due to a problem in the luden and shipping process. where some people had already received the vaccine but of course it's the 2nd delivery now that is hoped to be writing on tuesday but it's not just issues over the temperature in germany care workers. in the country who makes the 1st people to receive the vaccine absolutely were given fair use doses but at the same time this is because the very is that this follows a biotech vaccine that common doses affair between have to be. can be administered so it seems that there was a human error reading the instructions carefully enough and fairly doses at the same time they remember standard moon so fair out of those there were those additional says at the same time have had to see with side effects but we do move

that women have been taken to hospital for observation after bill developed. symptoms that you of course is still waiting to receive vaccines for many over countries it's. supplies of moves in millions of doses but for the moment but the fact is a vaccine removes the only one which has been approved by the i mean looks like they will be meeting with. decision over vaccines or logistics to roll all the other powers thanks for the hope was well sort of the sound quality from charlotte there for a minute. politicians worldwide a cold on people to stay home in the new year break to avoid sparking yet another fresh wave of coated infections is to me to poke reports. it's that time of year that wishes are meant to come true a popular one being that 2021 is going to kick over it in the cab the time of year

when we all come together and celebrate the best way to celebrate new year is not celebrated at all we can't risk putting the country under weeks of restrictions because of just one night christmas has ended and everyone's in panic mode over a possible 3rd wave of infections several countries have already imposed maximum restrictions for austrian israel it's round 3 of lockdown this is a chance to avoid the food will you please do everything we can so that it does not 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 to 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 meal trays remain to 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 to exam hands on so that was you don't share drinks with those is 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 canceled or moving online.

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 traveling 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. well maybe case in point this next hospitals in england have reported a record number of coated patients as health officials across britain will this struggling to cope with new coronavirus cases the u.k. is distributing the pfizer vaccine and also hopes to approve imminently the astra zeneca job in the coming days but said a strict quarantine remains in place in london and other parts of the country.

away from covert no 22 of these been a challenging year for many not least hollywood actors who are rushing to say sorry for their own performances not bring diverse enough again i was probably boyd to reports next the critics are starting tools whether or not to smoke just maybe go a little too far. 2020 has been a hard year fact is no one suffers more in the world quality than act is and celebrities. professional pretend is trying to engage with intellectual debate is a great well it's great for a half i actually. say that. these are people who have to look like they love humanity well all the cinema going humanity but if they

loved anyone but themselves they probably wouldn't be celebrities in the 1st place this year the oscars announced that in order to get one of those gold statuette right thing you've got to have underrepresented ethnic groups among the leading cost the crew and the marketing 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 we were there are some people wondering what the hell is going on and that clearly my themselves in take zoe saldana who this year apologized for playing nina simone in a 2016th film and she never even she said that she wasn't black enough to play the iconic saying she's blonde but she's not black enough and she would never leave

you know and the way we have to apologize to people with limb difference is because she played the grand high wage in the witches and had fewer than 5 fingers and toes . when the remake of the movie the witches was released portraying the main 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 a virtue signaling that should ever be allowed in one place. is huge. the. 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 pandemic bots it really only made things worse so many people were vomiting in response to it that it looked like a symbol of the coronavirus symptom of the final word goes to act chains of woods known for his own lovey like lean to the right how very his one what reaction to the oscars planned for him for style of a city. gosh madness that sums up this year doesn't it now there's another warning to tell you about world health chiefs now warning of the use of antibiotics during the pandemic is making sexually transmitted bacterial diseases incurable that we're talking about before but it seems the danger is worse we'll explain

after the break. join me every 1st week on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being

so. what is truth. is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or a mate in the shallows. again in the us who are already getting a glimpse maybe of how things could shape up when joe biden takes office in january now it's been revealed the brother of one of biden's closest advisers has secured a lobbying contract with online giant amazon. his name registered to lobby for amazon just after the presidential election is brother steve formerly a lobbyist himself will soon serve as a top white house counselor sources close to the siblings insist that whatever happens they will not mix family and business jeff has never and will never lobby

his brother on behalf of any of his clients and c. have had no role in his brother's business since he sold his stake in the firm in 2012 stephen jeff keep their professional activities distinctly separate. rivera from online news outlet reaction times dot com and who believes all that said the lobbying post is far from a consequence coincidence rather. 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 sort of thing 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 what hunter 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 whole season people like that are already keeping an eye on what the activities are between the biden ministration when any incoming hire isn't made you were merely also worked in the lobbying. france are set to decide later tuesday whether or not to reimpose the lockdown it lifted to christmas the country now has more than 2 and a half 1000000 confirmed covert cases and $63000.00 deaths almost 3000 new infections were registered in the last day alone medical experts fear another spike 2 after the holidays says fewer got tested or reported symptoms over the festive period the government's also recommended care homes lead families a visit over the new year break but larry the daughter of an 81 year old care home resident posted an open appeal to french authorities on social media warning that

such non-binding recommendations in her view are not enough. we don't have access to our parents room since august 12th since october residents aren't allowed to go outside you've introduced easing of restrictions and we are grateful for that but in our nursing home that does not extend for the whole holiday period and residents are still banned from going outside their homes warned relaxing visiting rules could aggravate an already disastrous situation the report this month found that to a 3rd of all covert deaths happened there but the other side of this sabrina etc we just heard from leeds a group for relatives helping it care homes and thinks not relaxing the rules is even more dangerous. don't. you know it doesn't many of those who reported covert symptoms were infected through medical workers most nursing homes are only alone visits and receiving rooms there are like rooms for jail visits visits are only

permitted when pre-show jeweled counted in minutes under supervision in a common room in some cases even through glass and of course in masks in some cases you can't touch or go in near your relatives i asked to allow my mother who feels like she's stuck in prison into the courts yet i've been asking from the start i've done hunger strikes sit ins at the health ministry i was received at the prime minister's residence of received an email from this is mccrone who also tried to help me we often ask for help through the media but we're still waiting for orders instead of recommendations currently more elderly people die from slipping over again from paul that other residents in our nursing home are physically and mentally exhausted that is irreversible damage. my friend's father was tough and healthy and frequently went outside yet today he's wearing nablus because he spent so much time locked up he's given up from grief and despair and doesn't leave his bed. meantime a new strain of corona virus has been found in sweden a woman who recently returned from the u.k.

it comes as the swedish government supports a bill to impose a strict lot of passed by parliament authorities can shut down businesses and find those floating the rules it marks a big break from the country's earlier hands off approach which the government admits was a failure. they make galavanting very serious situations the government may decide on more 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 where the risk of spreading the disease is assessed as high and where there is a lot of crowding. sweden's approach to the pandemics differed from most other code trees it relied initially on voluntary social distancing while avoiding sweeping locked public life are made largely unaffected for a long time a move criticized by neighboring countries to even shut their borders in response now the founder of swedish professors and doctors for human rights told us he believes new restrictions are essential. this will end the air was surely beginning

to protect the economy business and of course because being a slave trade and industry etc going to be enough of a sunday. there. will not be drawn to to close the schools because in that case the 25 percent of the or the labor force will be temporary last forced sort of study aiming to protect your economy there are not to say most no. look down and strict measures is the only way to at least try doing content to both their morbidity and mortality produced by these failures you will solve this situation with more and more measures you need to and i was trying to alter the strategy you need to qualitative change here and another trend over strategy rule to mean in a stress in a basin not name it to suit economy but to say lives i mean it should be or it has

to be a human rights. perspective in there and think you know it here we're here to do to save lives. the use of antibiotics to fight covert could accelerate the spread of so-called superbugs is the latest worry to the world health organization now highlighting a significant rise in gonorrhea a sexually transmitted bacteria warning it could become incurable. and the microbial resistance may not seem as arrogant as a pandemic but it is just as dangerous it threatens to unwind a century of medical progress and levi's a defenseless against infections that today can be treated easily and arctics used for gonorrhea have been given to treat inflammatory symptoms following covert infection that reportedly allowed other bacteria to build resistance more and more creating super bugs that could become untreatable with a warning before but it seems much worse now we talked to

a leading or all of just about the over use of antibiotics. viruses 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 we now depend on it as well and for sure what the pentagon's 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 know 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 sig you should still go to the doctor this 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 you don't use antibiotic the problem of resistance is the 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. you know we're going to leave you out thanks for watching this channel international live from moscow this chews day i'm kevin back again tomorrow jack from either which way for me in the team season's greetings have a great rest of the day.
