2:03 am
of us fall in the old year so difficult the 1st month of the year will be difficult and at least until the spring the epidemic will continue to weigh a lot on the life of our country so i can imagine that there will be plenty of people who'd be only 'd too happy to say goodbye to the grimness of 2020 we will end the pandemic once and for all this is one of the most extraordinary scientific industrial and medical feats of history not everyone is sitting at the festive table right now to give way lots of people are still in hospitals and i'm sure they feel the support of their loved ones and friends you know she was alone there are you me with all my heart i wish you a speedy recovery and a mystery and a happy return. london's new year fireworks were cancelled but people still come together to celebrate and that was a headache for police who showed up to enforce restrictions on gatherings and disperse crowds of the city's current mixing between households that was along the

river thames elsewhere new york's usually packed times square so this a few hours ago has also seen far less people than usual holiday events. the new york based journalist and commentator chadwick moore is disappointed personally says by officials signals of continued restrictions. fortunately i'm not sure i share that optimism at this point i mean especially as someone who lives in new york city we already have the blasio our mayor and governor still pretty a very dark picture of what's ahead i believe they said broadway still won't be open until 2022 i don't really see the sort of one party rule progressive democrat stronghold cities in america necessarily need to get. getting back to normal i mean these these governments and these these rulers have shown just how much they're easy to become tyrannical they're petty tyrants radical i think they want to give up that little level of control so easily and i don't think they're
2:05 am
going to they've completely locked down their states they have their ruling almost by anything but military rule when they have you know. forces roaming the streets making sure people wear it masks in shops they've got the national guard in new york deployed at the airports to make sure you pull out these illegal al surveys when you get off the plane you remember these are the same people that told us 2 weeks to slow the spread here we are 9 months later. as the u.s. has registered 3800 daily deaths from co that a new record to end the year one of the worst affected areas new york as almost 8000 new cases. of the pandemic has changed that city. as the new year rolls around many in new york city are hoping that 2021 will be completely different the incoming administration of joe biden is promising that they will turn things around with coded 19 with very swift measures and
2:06 am
a local government is reassuring everyone that soon things will be back to normal. here in new york city all of the country we're getting a shot of hope we now know that we will ultimately defeat the coronavirus but what will this new normal be a lot of things won't be like that old pre lockdown world before the masks and temperature checks are one of many small businesses will be gone over 30 different retail and restaurant chains filed for bankruptcy in 2021 and many more are downsizing stores and restaurants shutting down during the pandemic big tech is now moving in amazon facebook and google have moved thousands of their employees to the big apple the 3 tech giants now have over $22000.00 employees in new york city and more are expected these silicon valley giants are buying up iconic office buildings another aspect of new york city life public transportation is also not doing so well the jobs of thousands of transit workers are on the brink as the trains shut
2:07 am
down each night in order to be clean and comply with health regulations new york city is going to enter 2021 with a significant loss at this point this city has actually dropped off the list of america's top 10 zip codes many rich folks have packed up and moved on the cost of rent has decreased by 30 percent so how normal will this new normal be once restrictions are finally lifted it looks like many things have changed in a way that is not easily reversed kaleb mop and artsy new york. fronts is also see the shopping creasy new infections a curfew has been imposed in paris so the city was uncharacteristically empty on new year but the country's joined together nonetheless. to provide support to affected communities and sometimes in the most unexpected places.
2:08 am
this dog this restaurant is about solidarity in the quality our messages come to the space there's a mcdonald's slogan come as you are and we want to put human beings 1st. super bowl after ample means we can go back to health things work this place has been shared by all of us it's a restaurant but also a common space where we can build solidarity and help people in the neighborhood who are going through difficult times.
2:09 am
politicians around the world are insisting that corona virus vaccines will stay voluntary however many countries are already preparing for covert passports and companies preparing mobile applications too so that authorities can check through people's phones whether or not they've had the job the common trust networks already developed such an app in collaboration with airlines such as version atlantic. but. next it leaves people with mixed messages then on what exactly is round the corner. if you're still not sure you want to get a code vaccine the choice might now be a little clear several countries are debating whether or not people who get the job should have certain privileges for being covert safe not a bad idea on paper but for those in the back of the line or just hesitant to inject a rapidly developed chemical cocktail life might not be the same sure you don't have to get an ocular rated but good luck if you want to travel or go to
2:10 am
a bar or pretty much anything anywhere that requires your covert pass several governments have already spoken against introducing such a system. have a very clear position on this as important as vaccination is for all of us there must be no special treatment for the vaccine these distinguishing between the vaccinated and the no it's vaccinated would be the same as making it mandatory it would divide society. there are no plans to introduce a vaccine passport to give people access to places such as pubs and restaurants once a coronavirus job becomes available but not everyone's so opposed to the idea that the moment when it's not possible to offer vaccinations to everyone such a procedure is out of the question but the discussion about it can be still to know and even in countries that have said that they won't be introducing the covert passes some politicians are saying there's nothing they can really do against
2:11 am
businesses requiring a proof of vaccination we are looking at the technology and of course a way of people being able to inform their physician that they have been vaccinated but also i think you'll probably find that restaurants and bars and cinemas and other venues sports venues will probably also use that system and companies including i.b.m. have taken matters into their own hands developing apps that would allow businesses to track employees and customers while there is an argument that encouraging more people to get the job will bring about the end of lockdowns but what about personal freedoms that's the thing though you had more stuff and restricted people doing this all brings you got the best interest of all of the right your pieces from print on someone for them to be able to live their life i mean what you eat in a country we want freedom of speech. is what we want to visit i think is disgusting because it is a form of tyranny. that takes away our freedoms to travel freely. takes
2:12 am
away our privacy completely i mean at the end of that i people got their ferries about things and i don't want to be pushed into things you know a lot of people think they. will tell you what to do and so i think control of the . everything's up in the air at the moment some countries have taken the idea of passports in another direction instead of handing out vaccine passes spain has decided to do the on. visit and make a noddy list we'll set up a registry and share it with our european partners of those who have been offered vaccination and rejected it spain's health minister didn't specify what exactly what happens to those who get on this register but when a country starts making lists of people it usually doesn't and very well it's a scary thought it kind of reminds me a bit earlier this is going to far lists of people that are
2:13 am
complying with something almost reminds me. of the yellow star on the sleeves of germany a lot i don't actually know what a poor bugger i don't like when people get what we should all be leery of when people get put on the list for being a particular type of person that's not doing something or is doing something or is particular we are not to aware that it's discrimination as we know it is true. i will tend to be against giving people. special rights or something just because the man after all is also a matter of how lucky are you to get in quickly and how low on the priority list that you may have to wait very long and i was for that because it is definitely would be i was. so also rather painful let's face it you just go on our side our t. dot com got so many clicks from you thanks for it throughout 24 said we continue to bring your great features stories pictures and the latest news as it broke with our

2:17 am
every year with great pleasure answer questions from our viewers and this year is no different as usual your questions focus on future past my panel and. to look at
2:18 am
. this year's pandemic could be a sign of things to current judging by the latest warning from the world health organization which notes an even worse catastrophe may be around the corner but this time to make has been very severe it's spread around the world extremely quickly and it's the fact that every corner of this planet but this is not necessarily the big what we live in an increasingly complex global society the stress will continue if there's one thing we need to take from this trend and it could all of the tragedy and loss is that we need to get our act together we need
2:19 am
to get ready for something that may even be more severe in future speed almost here now since the w.h.o. declared covert a global health emergency since then more than 83000000 people are known to have contracted the virus an estimated 1800000 lives have been lost in the disease but microbiologist simon clarke says the outbreak could have been much worse. this this virus although it's very infectious it is not desperately lethal its mortality rate is not all that high but it still causes 70 deaths by dint of the fact that it infects lots of people and we've just seen how it can be evolved in to making. making a new strain that is even more in texas and we are more connected globalise you put it when we were 20 or 30 years ago and i don't see that changing anytime soon we will eventually get back to where we were say this time last year and we will
2:20 am
continue to become more global i think that's human nature and of course the more easily people can travel around the world more easily viruses can as well but more fertility there is when you or i virus to infect new people the more power to nitty there will be for it to me tell you so the possibilities is there that there will be outbreaks in the future that will cause problems and they may be bigger than this one. but the start of 2021 brings officially left the e.u. common market the now and the u.k. could see a shake up of its food supply pose breaks in the countries going to be free to import products banned in the e.u. including u.s. meat products treated crucially with drugs including whole margin antibiotics but now sustainable food companies are again ramping up the message saying the government should say no. given the growing world problem of and to microbial resistance it would be completely irresponsible if the government were to allow the
2:21 am
import of beef pork or poultry produced with antibiotics for growth promotion which have been banned here. that report from a sustainable food trust single that a drug used on pigs which leaves cancer causing residues also mention various types of antibiotics used to promote growth on u.s. factory farms as well which can cause antibiotic resistance it's a worry coming more and more to the fore and then to mind treatments of various diseases in humans further the report refers to proposals to ban the preventative use of antibiotics in animals from 2022 and to require exporters to do the same feed that it is or another concern notably rock top mean which is routinely used by u.s. farmers it's banned in more than $160.00 countries including russia and china scientists have linked it to reduce life expectancy is one of the authors of the sustainable food trust report told us. we really shouldn't be using any antibiotics to promote growth and to bartok so critically important so all of us to humans and to farm
2:22 am
animals to treat disease when it occurs but we've been using them irresponsibly we've still got very high levels of heart disease despite the fact that we've people have changed diets and things like that there are there is evidence out there that these drugs are being used. the residues of them could be contributing to that what we have been concerned about is that once they get into a trade negotiations with the us all with australia or with some other countries some of those countries are very keen to export their meat to us and most of those countries are using antibiotics more excessively and more 'd irresponsibly they're being used in the u.k. and so for us it would be a very regrettable step if after all the sacrifices and hard work of british farmers to find ways of keeping animals and keeping them healthy without such excessive use of antibiotics that we actually then started to allow in meat that was produced for the variance of arctics that we found in this country. rushes of
2:23 am
a take in the us as beijing's most important global partner a poll by the global times newspaper for more than half the chinese population now calls moscow it's like the proportion of chinese people who value u.s. ties has collapsed meantime to less than 48 percent that's down from almost double that figure just a year ago a political experts in china specialist told us the unfriendly actions of successive american presidents have been extremely damaging in his view. growing perception among the chinese people. he sees may be the time for china to decouple with the us. and of course we can attribute these to mr truong. trade war and he's competing against china in his presidency but i will see if entries a continuation of. administration of the obama period when
2:24 am
starting from 2013 i think. the obama people to issue of course he is already tricked the kind of stronger reaction in china and in china start to be you artificial islands in the south china sea and all these us come to the point at the china realize that china need to have across a strategic and energy ties with the russians and it is a time to chinese has to seriously consider what is the future of the us china will issues that's it for now more from a kevin out in our find out from all of us here about the sainted art international again a happy new year to get to leave you with just a minute or 2 years worth of more of those fireworks they did take place around the world to welcome in 2021 with a bit of a sparkle and a hope that the next 12 months will be better than a lot we just had. the

2:28 am
