a trade deal with the us highlighting the health risks of american products. watching r t international for your live news update this hour welcome to the program. all parts of the world have now entered the new year magnificent firework displays lit up the sky and many cities around the globe. and there new your speeches with leaders worldwide pay tribute to medical workers

on the front line and expressed how hard the last 12 months have been it is a historic crisis that has imposed much on everyone and too much on some i don't think i'm exaggerating when i say that never in the last 15 years have all of us fallen 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'll 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 where lots of people are still in hospitals and i'm sure they feel the support of their loved ones and friends you know there's a lot of them that are you me with all my heart and i wish you a speedy recovery it was 2 and a happy return back of. london's new year fireworks were cancelled but people still

came together to celebrate police showed up to enforce restrictions on gatherings and the sparse crowds on of the city's current lockdown mixing between households as brand. new york's usually packed times square has also seen a far less people than usual with all the events toned down but new york based journalist and commentator chaddock moore is disappointed by officials downbeat signals of continued for structural. 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 de blasio our mayor and well more 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 per gresley of democrat stronghold cities in america necessarily need to get help with getting back to normal i mean these these governments and these these rulers have shown

just how much they're easy to become tyrannical their petty tyrants pursuit ironical i think they want to give up that little level of control so easily and i don't think they're going to get it completely locked on their states they have their ruling almost by anything but military rule when you they have a you know couvade 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 up 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. the u.s. has registered 3800 daily deaths from covet a sad new record to end the year on one of the worst affected areas new york has almost 8000 new cases are just came up in looks at how the pandemics change the 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. jobs. 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. france has also seen a sharp increase in new infections a curfew has been imposed in paris so the city was uncharacteristically empty on new year but the country is joining together to provide support to affected communities and sometimes and most unexpected places.

this dog this restaurant is about solidarity in the quality messages come to the spice there's a mcdonald's ad slogan camas you are and we want to put human beings 1st. we can go back to how things were that's what's past that means that we all share this place is a restraint but also a common space where we can build solidarity help people and the neighborhood who are going through a difficult time. politicians

around the world are insisting that corona virus vaccines will stay voluntary however many countries are already preparing for covert passports and companies are preparing mobile applications can check through people's phones whether or not they have had jab the common trust networks already developed such an app and collaboration with airlines such as virginal atlantica and lufthansa but as dimitri park reports it leaves many people with mixed messages on what exactly will happen . 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 covered 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 but 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 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 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 pieces from print one from one 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

away our privacy completely i mean at the end of that people got their ferries about things and i don't want to be pushed into things you know a lot of people think. 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 naughty 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'm talking about i don't like when people get what we should all be leery of when people get put on the list for being the particular type of person that's not doing something or is doing something or is of particular we are not to aware that it's discrimination as we know it used to be rather dangerous i will tend to be against giving people. special rights or something just because they've been vaccinated as man after all it's 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 she's sure that because it is definitely would be i wish we're. here at r.t. we've worked $2470.00 once again this year to bring in years as it broke and many of you headed to our website for updates saskia terror takes a look back at our articles that got the most clicks. roddy's ronnie's

is you'll be via reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation the community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or a mate in the shallowness. every year with great pleasure be answered questions from our viewers and this year is no

joke. as usual your question. my panel and. to look up. thank. welcome back the coronavirus pandemic could be a sign of things to come judging by the latest warning from the world health organization which notes and even worse catastrophe may be around the corner but this pandemic has been very severe it's been it's spread around the world extremely quickly and is afraid to get requirements but this is not necessarily to be what we live in an increasingly complex global society these trends will continue if there's one thing we need to take from this trend and it could all of the tragedy in los 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 co-head

a global health emergency since then more than 83000000 people are known of contracted the virus and an estimated 1800000 lives have been lost to 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 normal. but it causes 70 deaths by dint of the fact that it infects lots of people 'd and we've just seen how it can evolve in to making. making a new strain that is even more in texas and we are more connected globally she 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. 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 they're reserving you for a virus to infect you people the more tuna to go before to me tell you so the possibilities news there that there will be outbreaks in the future that will cause problems and they may be bigger than this one. hundreds of armenian refugees have enjoyed the new year holiday back at home russian peace pickers help them returned in a corner got a bomb in the wake of the disputed regions peace deal 220 people were able to return from armenia to the territories capital to panic out now peaceful since moscow helps negotiate a truce between armenia and azerbaijan some 47000 refugees have now returned to their homes since hostilities ended in november. with the start of 2021 of britain's officially left the e.u. common market and now the u.k.

could see a shake up of its food supply prospects set the country will be free to import products banned in the e.u. that includes u.s. meat products treated with drugs including hormones and antibiotics but sustainable food campaigners are 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 import of beef pork or poultry produced with antibiotics for growth promotion which have been banned here that report from the sustainable food trust singled out a drug used on pigs which leaves cancer causing residues and it mention various types of antibiotics used to promote growth on u.s. factory farms which can cause and resistance and undermine treatments of various diseases in humans the reporter 1st 2 proposals to ban all preventive use of antibiotics in animals from 2022 and to require exporters to do the same feed additives are another concern notably top of me in it which is routinely used by

u.s. farmers it's banned in more than 160 countries including russia and china and scientists have even linked it to reduce life expectancy here's what one of the authors of the 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. they're residues of them could be contributing to the what we have been concerned about is that once they get into a trade big o'shea sions 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. russia seems to have overtaken the u.s. as beijing's most important global partner a poll by the global times newspaper fallen 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 down from almost double that figure just a year ago a political expert and china specialist told us that the unfriendly actions of successive american presidents have been extremely damaging. growing perception among the chinese people. and he sees may be the time for china to

decouple with the us. and of course we can attribute these 2 trends. trey will and he's campaigning against china during his presidency but i will see if entries a continuation of. administration of the obama period when starting from 2013 i think. the obama people to issue of course is already tricked the kind of strong go getter in china and then 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 and to chinese has to seriously consider what was the future of the us china will asians. that's been our breakdown of the day's top headlines but since it is

new year's day we're going to wrap up the hour with a bang as a look at more of the fireworks displays that take place around the world as always extending an.

when i was so small seemed wrong all right old rules just don't call. me old yet to stamp out disdain become educated and in gains from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome to the kaiser report 1st of the new year's day so we've got an excellent day on these christmas lights adorning the set i mean you know i took the money i save and i bought stats all right time now to turn to peek or is always the editor over a crack and he's also an advisor at big coin magazine. who's
