a real triumph as an supergroup dilution in the fight against girl in the worse it is also worth noting that every. and will be monitored for possible side effects so that as soon as the 2nd doses of the vaccine arrives they can receive them on time and in proper form according to preliminary data over 20000000 doses of the vaccine will be delivered in january and february 1 of the main goals is to have a new level of resources in our arsenal by the month of march to fight the pandemic and especially important for argentina with the 2nd wave of coronavirus dollar. meanwhile venezuela is also signed a deal with russia for approximately $10000000.00 doses of sputnik v. president nicolas maduro said that the shot will be free for the whole population he plans to complete the 1st round of vaccines by march venezuela was the 1st country in the western hemisphere to take part in post approval trials of russia's jab the u.s. has revealed its 1st case of the more contagious british strain of corona virus the

variant confirmed of the state of colorado comes amid fears of a further spike in cases than over the christmas holidays we have been talking about potential for spread during christmas as america's struggles to deal with the effects of the pandemic r.t. correspondent kelly mopo looks at the specially tough year for the city dubbed the epicenter of the crisis new york. they call it the big apple and in 2020 that apple got a giant one minute and that worm is known as ovid when a national emergency was 1st declared in the city back in march many panicked. stores soon had empty shelves.

the hospital soon hit capacity and emergency tents were set up in central park. there was a shortage of protective equipment like masks and hand sanitizer health care workers took to the streets to protest their troll you wouldn't ask old old boy. so if you want to talk about the row. it's part of that i mean if you send over if you sent over if you said to us it's really it's been tough it's been one of the hardest moments in my life it's been really challenging and we were burnt out we're we come in every day and are not getting support from our managers you know our

government is telling us we can wear a simple bandana we don't have many noted that in circumstances like this we had local officials blaming everyone but themselves we was the whole international health community we was the whole national shows of experts the w.h.o. the n.i.v. a new c.d.c. going to move the big soup of agencies we was are very we were you were. the intelligence community with the brief. videos of trucks used as a temporary morgue studio an overflow of dead bodies became a horrifying emblem of the era. new york city's hard island became a graveyard amid the overflow of dead bodies. one

of the ugliest scandals involve nursing homes at the end of march andrew cuomo the new york state governor ordered covert patients to be sent to nursing homes for the elderly now this order was revised on the 11th of may but it was far too late the death toll in new york's nursing homes was approximately 4800 people remember that the elderly are the most vulnerable such a poorly calculated move is pretty hard to forgive this thing is not going away so 6300 people died in new york nursing homes that is the most in this country really needs to be able to challenge this wish to leave you would do it you're in a little bit of criticism of your very much like there was a glimmer of hope over the summer but then a 2nd wave came when it got cold the new lock downs have had

a devastating effect on the economy restaurant owners and workers have taken to the streets. the state was crashing and burning with the rising body count andrew cuomo took the opportunity to write a book about his personal achievements. and . 2021 doesn't look like it's bringing any relief either national health officials are warning us that january could be devastating without substantial mitigation the middle of january could be

a really dark time for us some say that the lockdown was imposed too late others are saying that cuts in health care facilities and the closing of hospitals over the past decade have played a role regardless of why there's no question the 2020 will go down as one of the worst years in the history of new york city. r.t. new york. exhausted russian medical volunteers lying in a room with a covert patients going viral see this the some pages begin to call to help someone reported to be in a state of panic and confusion there were fears she could terror for oxygen screening should be under constant supervision that's a seat isn't it well the patients now i can tell you in a stable condition so a bit of good news and the colleagues have expressed their gratitude through social media the intense tutors told us what happened a bit more on the. but you know what we saw the whatsapp

message that help was needed and we 3 decided to go to the red zone long before our shift was supposed to start in order to help out our colleagues we replaced stuff who were looking after the patient so they could do other work at the unit and we stayed with the patient when morning came with a down on the floor to rest at least a little bit because it's really challenging to work nonstop in a civil suit so we watched the patients are till 8 o'clock in the morning when the new shift came on and we set off to do the work at the unit. rather curious story next of a covert defying russian monk who's been sentenced to 2 months pretrial detention here in moscow so gay is accused of numerous offenses including encouraging minors to commit suicide he's known for radical views such as claiming president putin has been replaced by the anti christ in a rubber mask the monks also drawn criticism from the orthodox church for encouraging people to flout covert instructions and attend mass but despite being defrocked by church officials see none the less continue to run

a monastery in central russia with more is all of the smaller. special operation 100 demonstration. now but i didn't see your at least all know viral seeing you march when russia was a more special police forces came to the city of new rise queens monastery outside didn't boot to detain the man known as father seriously who had seized the convent back in june and they knew they'd face resistance and on supporters of the monk a former policeman himself who served his sentence for murder and robbery helping him take control over the monastery where many battle hardened veterans and former officers he tended and violent. 0 7. oh oh. oh. yeah.

in me father sarah he was banned from conducting religious services due to his radical views on the coronavirus pandemic he called to ignore the lockdown denounced electronic passes as a way to stem the outbreak as satins electronic camp and described the vaccines against kobe 19 and attempts to control the masses and told her a state investigators launched a criminal investigation into child abuse at the monastery but the reason for the night raid was another issue a video posted on you tube where is spiritual leader ask the church members whether they're ready to die for russia became the last straw move from the arctic you are more than if you're from a number of operating. across the border as usual from here coming off of the profession children who are in the crowd too and that worried the local ombudsman for children's rights sergei's now charged under 3 articles violation of

their right to freedom of conscious and religion call for suicide and abuse of power so again denies any guilt according to his lawyer he was taken to moscow for into a geisha and and a hearing and sent to be due from the tension he spoke about it was almost a holy mission you reduce the. everything is fine with me you don't have to do anything just live by the commandments of god whatever happens everyone has their own cross to bear jesus said take your cross and follow me i'm following christ. investigative committee and f.s.b. searched the compound and form a priest's cell while outside dozens of father said again supporters made a kind of human shield in an attempt to protect what they see as their spiritual food trays and express their solidarity with the priest but chances are they are not going to see the leader any time soon. about 15 minutes past the hour if you're

watching the clock for a reason the smalling thank you for choosing us this is ahead the german employee gets an angry response for wanting the law extended to fight climate change what you think about that while we speak to a public guest about the divisive proposal after this break.

join me every 1st week on the alex island shore and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you there. it. again morning so a german lawmaker has got to fear is reaction for suggesting covert restrictions could be the template for fighting climate change carlota back said that his views

in an opinion piece for a newspaper there will never be a vaccine against c o 2 so we need measures for exactly in climate change there are similar to the restrictions of personal freedom in the pandemic a social democratic party m.p. who is also an epidemiologist admitted his ideas likely to ever happen but his views are sparked a firestorm on social media. to this and pretty much everything that is t. not climate friendly could be banned the struggle for freedom will never end a lot about it is already proposing look down like measures to combat climate change let's enjoy the festive season and gather strength for the demonstrations and resistance against state violence in 2021 at about the same time the cold would love downs and the lockdown for climate change begins since we have been so willing to give up our freedoms lockdowns will now be routine sort of our panel of guests think well as listen. do we. sure.

is one that simply hasn't worked in the code it because they're incident genuine emergency and the will respond and we have the shooting. program grows needs to be tackled with this is much good we do not need to look and look at the kind of the effect of the in terms of curb reduction during the long run here it has been equivalent to taking $100.00 degree centigrade over the global warming that we expected by 2030 and we need something which is much more effect but also something which fork in cruising done in the screwed society actually starts a new route which will. make us better off and allowed us to live large crude but in a much cleaner and less in poor blocked ounce where where

a certain except for the 1st time round you're a troll. but now we've got in such a mass that i think this is the reason why we're getting stuck in the problems of people of anger votes out i don't think anyone right and well freddie and joyce locking countries down we've lost control of this virus testing trace has been a complete mass a complete waste of money climate change will be similar especially amongst the uk government generation because i have recently doing the you know outer islands to be chirpy time it should be on a regular well be conscious of the broth of her money drained by paying for. 3 days prior to the code 19 money completely wasted which they could of course ensued environmental projects to help other well country bridge or issues or with that with the top junction. the rest of the world is not so much of a problem but there's a degree why we should get any personal freedoms whatsoever. top health

officials in the u.k. of expressing strain concern over a surge in covert cases when. daily records of more than 53000 said for 2 days in a row and there's no rush to get hold of vaccines to with wealthy people reportedly offering thousands of pounds for a shot but as things stand there are luck the job can only be received through the national health service for free the pfizer drug was approved in the u.k. this month and all available doses are going to people in hospitals over the age of 80 or so frontline medics and care home staff means a potentially long wait for everyone else and private clinics say they're getting requests from patients willing to fork out really big sums to jump the queue we spoke with the owner of one such clinic code that has not really differentiated between the rich and the poor i have a clinic in wilmslow which is an affluent area and some of the people asking their parents have died or a parent is dark and they're wondering how can i get

a box ticking now i have been offered large sums to try and circumvent and see whether we can get the vaccine because private as we know goes on in this country the government has bought the vaccine and there is no way to circumvent it but you know i think everyone you know would like to have the vaccine and even as a step when she comes with it people want to be safe people are scared. i think they would never want to take it away from the most vulnerable and there will always be the small few that may try and take advantage but i have to believe in the human connection human will that good will prevail and i think in general most drug virus have a good moral compass and want to help out when the n.h.s. would say can you help us now. as well as being one of the country's most affected by the pandemic for arms is also battling a resurgence of extremist activity chalo do bensky next them looking at the government's response in the wake of a number of terrorist attacks. 2020 is the manual might call turned

from this into an enemy of large swathes of the muslim world the president claimed to be taking on only the extremist. ideology of islam islam but many in the global muslim community felt that they were being targeted it was to be french means to defend the right to make people laugh for them to mock his ridicule it's a caricature which voltaire claimed was the source of the rest to be french means always to be on the side of the freedom fighters. needs a mental health treatment what else can be said to a head of state who does not understand freedom of belief and who behaves in this way to millions of people living in this country who are members of a different faith that frenzy kicked all for here with the now infamous satirical

magazine charlie abdul used to have its offices instead of marking 5 years since the massacre here france was also about to bury new victims as the trial of those suspected of aiding the terrorists who killed in cold blood tape began sharlee abdo published what it described as a tribute to the dead it was like a red rag to a bull.

then came the attack on vienna and macaroons initiative to crack down on islam is started to gain wide momentum is the case that the attack was clearly an islamist terrorist attack it was an attack out of hatred hatred of our basic values. we know what vienna and austria have been through the pain the fear the victims and i don't think that this attack is an innocent it reveals the will of our enemy to attack what europe is a land of culture of freedoms and values military deployment has been more than doubled in france other countries have heightened measures to so how real is the threat the threat is absolutely enormous in terms of fighting political islam because 80 percent of the most are controlled by radical islamists what i call the ideological threat but secondly the jihadist threat that is only

part of radical islam that the jihad is a terrorist attack is also a big danger because many people are released to me great not control over another issue then raised its head polls showed younger muslims are more conservative than previous generations and they put the laws of their faith above that of frauds confirms previous polls going back over the past few years would also. deserve a dent in the reaction of school high school students. to the minute's silence and commemoration of the be beheaded schoolteacher where there was quite a lot of disruption around the country during a minute's silence. so i think it's very worrying that the younger generation is. as much if not more radicalized than their parents or grandparents it's not too late but we last 2 or one or 2 generation we have to take the control back

off both most and scoots ways they are brainwashed in order to respond to this new bill to promote the values of the french republic has been trough it it will target online hate speech drastically reduce home schooling bring in jail terms for doctors who perform genetic tests and to make it more difficult for more scs to receive foreign financing so is it enough to stop the rockets it's difficult to say how we can stop it at this stage 'd i think there's been a certain tolerance over the years and decades which is the situation to develop. and it's a little bit bit like both in this the stable door after the horses has run away in fact it may even reinforce the victimhood narrative of the reprosecute complex

which is being stoked up 2021 will no doubt see france pushing on with its efforts to eradicate islam isn't but going by 2020 that attempt could backfire muslims say they already feel stigmatized in singled out and not calls essentially republican values 1st of all may alienate them further and not could feel rather than extinguish the threat from extremists shola jeevan ski r.t. paris well thanks for watching this from r.t. international with me kevin wednesday morning 30th of december just after 9 27 in the morning and whatever time of day it is where you are around the world for me the team season's greetings and have a super day. an
