a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here are to h.q. in moscow thanks for joining us for a live news update. 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 wrongly for more on these vaccinations we will find out you will be prosecuted. authorities think part care community health network applied for distribution rights by fraud don't like claiming it was a legitimate medical clinic as r.t.c. there's now live reports there are fears that new types of vaccine fraud could develop. 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. birth. 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 u.s. a whole homeland security squad has been tasked with prowling shady marketplaces anytime to something new out there any way 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 phone calls luring them into fake vaccine appointments the most. 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 i think we overrate you're good at 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 your mother's milk willing to try to steal the information to make drugs the whole point of this is criminals work across the world so you'll have criminals 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. politicians worldwide have called on people to stay home over the new year break to avoid sparking yet another fresh wave of covert infections artist mr polk reports it's that time of year that wishes are meant to come true a particularly 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 lock down this is

a chance to avoid the food will you please do everything we can so that it does not he does as you would have 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 mill choice remained 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 as it 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 hospitals in england have reported a record number of patients and health officials across britain warn they're struggling to cope with new coronavirus cases the u.k. is distributing the pfizer vaccine and also hopes to approve an astra zeneca job in the coming days but a strict quarantine remains in place in london and other parts of the country. the 2.

friends will decide on tuesday whether or not to reimpose the lockdown it lifted for christmas the country now has more than 2 and a half 1000000 confirmed cases and $63000.00 deaths almost $3000.00 new infections have been registered in the last day alone and medical experts fear another spike

after the holidays as fewer people got tested and reported symptoms over the festive period the government's also recommended care homes let families visit over the new year break but sabrina delarue the daughter of an 81 year old care home resident post an open appeal to french authorities on social media warning that such non-binding recommendations aren't 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're 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. they're saying homes warn relaxing visiting rules could aggravate an already disastrous situation report this month up to a 3rd of all. their sabrina dollery who we just heard from it's a group for relatives helping out care homes and things not relaxing the rules is even more dangerous don't. many of those who reported covert symptoms were

infected through medical workers most nursing homes are only alone visits and receiving rooms their. 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 masks in some cases you can't touch of your relative yes to allow my mother who feels like she's stuck in prison into the course 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 i've 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 . 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 reversible 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 about. 2020 it's been a challenging year for many not least hollywood actors who are rushing to say sorry for their own performances but as polly boyko reports critics are starting to ask whether it's maybe all gone a little too far 2020 has been a hot yeah fact is now oneself is more in the world than act is and celebrities. professional pretend is trying to engage with intellectual debate is a great well it's great for a half actually. these are the 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 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. there are some people wondering won't but hell is going on and. why themselves in take. this year of college ised for playing nina simone in a 2016 film and she would never do 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 i'm half 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 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. you've 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 they screen show this is signaling that should ever be allowed in one place. is not. easy is huge. the narrow google was 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 bought it really only made things worse so many people will vote meeting in response to it but it looked like a symbol of the coronavirus for the final 2 acted chains of woods known for his own lovey like lean to the right how does vary his one what reaction to the oscars planned for enforced diversity madness. still had on the program world health chiefs warn over use of antibiotics during the penn donek is making sexually transmitted bacterial diseases incurable explain that story for you after the short break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy from day shouldn't let it be an arms race is also a skeery dramatic development only really. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and tom. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those. who dares thinks. week here to ask.

a come back and the you ass we're 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 closest advisers has secured a lobbying contract with online giant amazon jefferson registered to lobby for amazon just after the presidential election his brother steve formerly a lobbyist himself will soon serve as a top white house counselor 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 c have had no role in his brother's business since he sold his stake in the firm in 2012 steve and jeff keep their professional activities distinctly separate is that typically

a rivera from the online news outlet reactionary times dot com who believes the lobbying post is far from a coincidence 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 it's out there what hunter biden has done internationally we even have the progressive within joe biden's only party looking deeper into the situation in addition to republicans watching the activities of the biden in the street in regard to lobbying the progressive side are the you know the elizabeth warren's and even in the house the whole season people like that or already keeping an eye on what the activities are between the by the administration when any incoming hire is the

mayor formally also worked in the lobbying. pfizer's covered vaccine has become the 1st again in new approval with medical workers and the elderly among the 1st and line to get the job that it's already coming across difficulties as our parents correspondent charlotte devinsky reports. ok woops vaccination. massive task it's hoping to move too late as many as possible of the bullocks are 150 moon citizens the next few months and so far only when vaccine has been approved for use this is the phase a bedroom take vaccine now it comes with its own set of difficulties mainly in how it needs to be stored because this spec scene has to be kept at a temperature of 70 degree celsius that's essentially freeze temperature to make sure that the vaccine removes active and use food and there are concerns that if

that temperature it isn't met that essential need this vaccine will become a variable moon to be able to locate people. i mean maybe by being difficulties were these temperature issues surrounding respects even after the shipment i read of timber very good in germany a medical staff there question to me just the temperature being kept in june that to be very high or to be packaged the senshi some of the values of reaction to the reading of them packages or the room really used the picnics in germany as such they just said i didn't just remember they were put in several cities that they would be really let back see if there is even the slightest chance that the vaccine does not meet the quality criteria 100 percent the batch will not be deployed. solution right starting over the weekend with. difficulties due to those

temperature problems the 2nd to move them same the e.u. countries the spanish health ministry suggesting that around european countries hadn't received the 2nd shipment. and that was because there were several times with the delivery trucks and keeping that temperature mainly to deliver the vaccines there's a missing too we'll. spanish health ministry had to say spain indicates that it has been informed by his factory in belgium of the doing shipments to 8 european countries including spain due to a problem in deluding and shipping process through various 2nd shipments least in spacesuit due to choose to put it some just being problems temperatures in storage of the vaccine in chaman who came with the some of the 1st to receive the spares a better take vaccine were given the doses accidentally of the vaccine were less because the variance that the specs even asked to do and so to different countries

is doses of faith we will have to be diluted to the right group of fluids administered and it seems that there was some sort of human whether mitt clearly reading the instructions the instructions were perhaps in plain english so to speak and they didn't do that so take care of his receiving food additional doses of the vaccine so far memory reported to have suffered that we see your side effects but who were taken to hospital for observation after being developed some flu symptoms this fall is a boon to vaccine is the only room soon fred approved by the e.u. has sort of stockpiled to put with moves into says of some of the of the vaccines that are being developed but it looks like there will be many approval for those vaccines intimate loosed next week where the e.u. is set to meet to discuss that. a new strain of corona virus has been found in

sweden and a woman who recently returned from the u.k. it comes as the swedish government submits a bill to impose a strict lockdown passed by parliament authorities can shut down businesses and find those following the rules as marks a break from the country's earlier hands off approach which the government admits was a failure. they may get 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 other activities 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. so we approach to the pandemic has differed from most countries its relied on voluntary social distancing while avoiding sweeping lockdowns public life remained largely unaffected a move criticized by neighboring countries who even shut their borders in response the founder of swedish professors and doctors for human rights believes new

restrictions are essential. to india there was truly beginning to protect the economy business and of course a slave trade and industry excedrin going to be enormous they spend their money. there they will not be drawn to close the schools because in that case that 25 percent of the labor force will be temporary last forced sort of study image which are going to meet there are not to say the most to look down and strict measures it's the only way to at least try to do. both their morbidity and mortality produced by these failures you will insult 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 not in turn over strategy you mean in assessing the basin not name it to say declining but to say lives i mean it should be you

know it has to be the human rights. perspective and they don't think you know if we're here to do to save. the over use of antibiotics to fight cove it could accelerate the spread of so-called superbugs the world health organization has highlighted a significant rise in gonorrhea a sexually transmitted bacteria warning it could become an curable. microbial resistance may not seem as urgent as a pandemic but it is just as dangerous it threatens to unwind a century of medical progress and levi's defenseless against infections that today can be treated easily. antibiotics use for gonorrhea have been given out to treat inflammatory symptoms following code infection that's reportedly allowed other bacteria to build resistance creating super bugs that could become untreatable we talked to a living near all of us about the overuse of such medicines. my wrist is not stupid

. or a bacteria is not stupid it gets no it gets used to a certain antibiotic treatment regimen that this problem of antibiotic resistance has been around and has been increasing over the years we now depend then because well and for sure what the pandemic 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 they 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 patients 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 the old use antibiotic the problem of resistance is to 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. in other world news writers have attacked and thrown rocks at armored police tribute to a victim of police violence in the chilean capital police responded with water cannon and the latest of a series of clashes that started with protests against public transport price raises. thousands of anti-abortion activists have taken to the streets across argentina against a new bill to legalize abortion if the bill passes the senate it would become the 1st major latin american country to do so. and palestinian farmers cry. tears of happiness as they return to their lands after 46 years of occupation by israeli settlers farmers share their emotions after an israeli court returned hanbali in the west bank. this is an indescribable feeling our land was
