that new types of vaccine front 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 us a whole homeland security squad has been tasked with prowling shady marketplaces anytime to 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 phone 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 good at suit 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 south 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 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 the pfizer by and takeover vaccine has become the 1st to gain approval with medical workers on the elderly among the 1st in line to get the job but it's already encountering difficulties as are paris correspondent charlotte explains. there's a week's vaccination. massive task it's hoping to move to late as many as possible of the blips 150 moon citizens over it the next few minutes and so far only when vaccine has been approved for use this is the phase a better take vaccine now it comes with its own set of difficulties mainly in how it needs to be stored because this vaccine has to be kept at

a temperature of 70 degrees 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 them essentially this vaccine will become a variable wound won't be able to look in 8 people. i mean maybe developing difficulties removing these temperature issues surrounding respects even after the shipment the rev timber very in germany and medical staff there question to make just the temperature of the being kept in june that to be very high or to be packaged the senshi some of the values of rock seem to the rate of impact which is of the room really used the picnics in germany as such they just said i didn't just in bavaria but in several cities that they would be really let that 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 return same the e.u. countries the spanish health ministry suggesting that arrived at european countries hadn't received the 2nd shipment. and that was because there were several times with the delivery trucks and keeping that temperature when we may have to deliver the vaccines there's a mission to help. 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 spook due to the way i choose to put it some just being pretty brutal temperatures in storage of the vaccine in chaman who came with the some of the 1st to receive

the spares a better tech but it seemed clear to me doses accidentally of the vaccine were less because the various look the specs even is asked to do and sent to 2 different countries that is don't you see is a phrase we were asked we don't have to do the right group of foods administered so every 8 characters 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 like symptoms this is a boon to vaccine is the only room soon for a approved by the e.u. has that sort of stockpiled to put in the doesn't foot moves of too says of some of the of the vaccines that are being developed but it looks like there would be approval for those vaccines intimate least 6 week where the e.u. is set to meet to discuss that. france 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 rough start 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 home let families visit over the new year break but sabrina delarue the daughter of an 81 year old care home resident posts an 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 of introduced to 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. they're saying homes are warning that relaxing visiting rules could aggravate an already dire situation report earlier this month

revealed that up to a 3rd of all covert deaths happen in such facilities sabrina dollar e whom we just heard from believes that failing to relax the rules could be even more dangerous don't. many of those who reported covert symptoms were infected through medical workers most nursing homes are only learn visits and receiving rooms there 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 masks in some cases you can't touch your building near your relatives i asked 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 received an email from mrs mccrone who also tried to help me we often ask for help through the media but we're still waiting for orders instead of recrimination 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 about. 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 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 mill choice 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 if the exam has done so as it was 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 castled 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 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. still had health officials say people are wrongly using antibiotics to treat coated and it's caused a new strain of gotta read it allergic it tells a lot of story and more after this break. financial survival guide i don't buy a i'm on if you. like i said last summer my ex from the future crocker was kaiser.

welcome back 2020 has been a challenging year for pretty much everyone including hollywood film stars who are

rushing to say sorry for their own performances by barca explains. 2020 has been a hard year fact is no one's self is more in the world walled than act is and celebrities. professional pretenders trying to engage with intellectual debate is a great well it's great for a half actually. 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 you've got to have underrepresented ethnic groups among the leading cost 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 tie themselves in take zoe saldana who 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 blond 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 . 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've got a problem acting just ain't what it used to be a but when it gets really bad is when you get several actors to gather for a. good cause who can forget they scream show this is a virtue signaling that should ever be allowed in one place. is not. easy to. the euro but. '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 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 symptom of the final word goes to act chains of woods known for his own love the like lean to the right how very here's one what reaction to the oscars planned for in force diversity madness. in the u.s. 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 closest advisers has secured a lobbying contract with online giant amazon just for show the to long before 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 and says they won't mix family and business however jeff has never and will never lobby his brother on behalf of any of his clients and steve had no role in his brother's business since

he sold his stake in the firm in 2012 stephen just keep their professional activities distinctly separate. is that to julio 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 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 that you know what out there $100.00 biden has done internationally we even have the progressive within joe biden's only already 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 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 hires the mayor were merely also worked in the lobbying and the strain of corona virus has been found in sweden and a woman who recently returned from the u.k. it comes as a swedish government submits a bill to impose a strict lockdown if passed by parliament authorities can shut down businesses and find those flouting the rules as marks a break from the country's earlier hands off approach which the government admits was a failure. 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 the hunt 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. so in the parts of the pandemic different from most other

countries until recently it relied on voluntary social distancing while avoiding sweeping the lockdowns public life remained largely unaffected a move criticized by neighboring countries who even shut their borders at some point a founder of swedish professors and doctors for human rights believes new restrictions are essential. there was trying to be gina de economy business and of course. hard industry excedrin going to be enormous spending. they will not be drawn to close the schools because in that case the 25 percent of the labor force will be temporary last forced sort of study image which are going to be there not to say the most notable 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 trend over strategy to mean in a sense in 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 were saying you know if we're here to do to save. every 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 incurable. the micro bit of resistance may not seem 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 i buy an

excuse for gonorrhea and have been given out to treat inflammatory symptoms following code infection that's partly allowed other bacteria to build resistance creating super bugs that could become untreatable i talked to a leading your all just about the overuse of such medicines. viruses not stupid. and or a bacteria is not stupid it gets no it gets used to a certain antibiotic treatment or regiment 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'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 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 cig 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 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. lastly we bring you some world news in brief thousands of pro-life activists have taken to the streets across argentina against a new bill to legalize abortions passed by the senate it will give argentina the most liberal abortion laws in south america. you know riots have broken out in chile during an anniversary tribute to a protester killed in a police crackdown last year security forces fired water cannon demonstrators hurled rocks at police fans it's the latest any wave of unrest that started as

a protest against a hike in public transport fares and spiraled into a revolt against inequality. and palestinian farmers are celebrating a long awaited return to their lands after 46 years of off occupation by israeli settlers this comes 4 years after an israeli court allowed the farmers to reclaim their property farm or share their emotions after the homecoming. this is an indescribable feeling our land was confiscated and cultivated by israeli settlers and we were banned from entering. values i learned from my fathers and grandparents who were from coming in for the israelis who say i don't die young ones forgets we have not forgotten we will teach this listen to our children until the last metre of palestine is liberated. that's been our breakdown of the day's top stories for this hour but if you're looking for more you can always had to our website r.t. dot com.
