did you just. when you were going in the store. i. made fireworks. celebrations people difficult 2020 and welcome the new year with hopes of a bright 12 months ahead. world politicians moloch ovid passport may be companies develop mobile apps to enforce compliance but there are warning such systems faced significant complications to. the u.s. centers 2021 with a grim new record registering its highest ever daily death toll we report from new york city particularly hard hit by that pandemic. and company in the u.k.

to tread carefully now when seeking a post trade deal with the us highlighting the health risks of american meat products. here good morning good morning from moscow start a brand new day new year here of course new year's day 2021 already around the world right now from l.a. to nevada hi to you welcoming in a brand new year as well well here in russia kevin 0 in to take you through the latest on this with the new year's celebrations or not we're going to start more than half the planet has now seen in the new year magnificent firework displays lit up the sky in most cities around the globe.

nice to see it see was that when the new year's speeches meantime leaders worldwide paid tribute to medical workers on the front lines of the ongoing anti virus fight and expressed how hard the last 12 months of b. . c. is it is a historic crisis that has imposed to march and everyone can to watch and some i don't think i'm exaggerating when they say that never in the last 15 years have all 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 we gave way to 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 father works more or less cancel but people still came together to celebrate police showed up to enforce restrictions on gatherings and disperse the crowds out of the city's mixing between households is. new york's usually times square also had far

less people than usual with holiday events but new york based journalist and commentator chad. disappointed by officials signals he said of continued restrictions going into the new year. 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 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 democrat stronghold cities in america necessarily need to get. 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 going

to they've completely locked down their states they have their ruling almost anything but military rule when they have you know. forces roaming the streets making sure people were in masks in shops they've got the national guard in new york deployed at the airports to make sure you pull up these illegal help 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. the u.s. has registered 3800 daily deaths from coast. to add the year one of the worst affected areas new york had almost $8000.00 new cases of mopin looks next at how 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 a local government is reassuring everyone that soon things will be back to normal.

job. 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 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 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 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 the 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. r.t. new york. from sizzles to show up increase in new infections a curfew has been imposed in paris so this is he was uncharacteristically. for the country joining together nonetheless to provide support to affected communities and sometimes in the most unexpected places.

it is because of this restaurant is about solidarity in the quality our messages come to the space there's a mcdonald's slogan you are and we want to be 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.

politicians around the world are insisting that corona virus vaccines will stay voluntary however a big question mark coming up many countries are also preparing covert passports and companies are preparing mobile applications so 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 like virgin atlantic and this is reports next it leaves people with mixed messages then on what may be around 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 added but good luck if you want to travel or go to

a bar or pretty much anything anywhere that requires your code 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 the must be no special treatment for the vaccine these distinguishing between the vaccinated and the knowledge 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 now the moment when it's not possible to a flu 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

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 being missile base you've got the best interests of all of the right piece of thumb print on someone for them to be able to live their life i mean what you are 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

away our privacy completely i mean at the end of that people got their hereis about things and they don't want to be pushed into things you know a lot of people think they. will tell you what to do and so having 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. of this is going too far lists of people that are

complying with something almost reminds me. of the yellow star on the sleeves of germany a lot i don't actually know what. 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 of particular we are not to look at it that it's discrimination as we know it is true. i will tend to be against giving people. special rights or something just because as men after all it's also a matter of how lucky are you to get in. and how low on the priority list that you may have to wait very long and she's sure that because it is doubtful it would be i wish with. all through the rather let's face it painful year just go on our side are so so many clicks from you thank you for it too 247 we continue to bring a great feature stories pictures and the latest news as it broke with our team working around the clock upstairs so i could tailor takes a look back at them. c n

every year with great pleasure be to answer questions from our viewers and. this year is no different as usual your questions focus on future possible events my panel and. to look at. all this is cheering how this year's pandemic could be a sign of things to come 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 to get ready for something that may even be more severe in future it's been almost

a year since the w.h.o. declared covert a global health emergency since then more than 83000000 people amount of contract the virus an estimated 1800000 lives have been lost to the disease but microbiologist someone cluck told us the outbreak could have been much worse. this this virus although it's very infectious it is not desperately lethal it's the rate is not all that hard. but it causes 70 deaths by dint of the fact that it infects lots of people and we've just seen how it can be involved in to making. making a new strain that is even more in taxes 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

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 a virus to infect new people the more to knit to go before 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. so new beginnings for the u.k. then where they started 2021 britons officially left the e.u. common market and now the u.k. could see a shake up of its food supply post breck's it the country is going to be free to import products banned in the e.u. including us 'd meat products so what we've heard before hearing it again treated with drugs including hormones and antibiotics but sustainable food campaign is a saying that the government should say no given the growing world problem of and

to microbial resistance it would be completely irresponsible of the government were to allow the import of beef pork or poultry produced with antibiotics for growth promotion which have been banned here. live report from sustainable food trust singled out a drug used on pigs which leaves cancer causing residues it also mention various types of antibiotics used to promote growth on u.s. factory farms which can cause antibiotic resistance and undermine treatments of various diseases in humans further the report refers to eve proposals to ban all preventative use of antibiotics now levels from 2022 to require exporters do the same as well now another worry feed that it is there a cause for concern notably rock top me which is routinely used by u.s. farmers it's banned in more than a $160.00 countries including russia and china scientists have linked it to reduce life and to be expectancy amongst other things here's what 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 animals to treat disease when it occurs but we've been using them responsibly 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. there 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 very antibiotics that we found in this country. russia's overtaken the u.s. as beijing's most important global partner a poll by the global times newspaper for more than half the chinese population now calls moscow its key ally the proportion of chinese people who value u.s. ties has collapsed to less than 48 percent those down from almost double that figure just a year ago a political expert in china specialist told us the unfriendly actions of successive american presidents now 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 now and of course we can attribute these to mr truong. trade war and he's campaigning against china during his presidency
