explaining the patients. and the deadly wave of covert infections in mexico city courses a rush to buy life saving oxygen canisters sending prices soaring. and people struggling to get oxygen tanks and oxygen such as this is in this line of work being overwhelmed right now if you people shouldn't profit from the system doing profiteer on the needs of other people because you're profiteering when their life's. a low their lives i'm worldwide this is our chief international from moscow with me calling great. britain finalised its exit from the e.u. just 2 days ago but it's already hitting roadblocks trucks bound for europe are being turned back if they don't have the right customs paperwork and after 4 and a half years of resisting breaks in the country's millions of remainders are in no mood to back down saskia taylor reports.

and so began the downswing new age of an independent britain and my goodness was it tasty. starting 2021 with a lovely brick sit breakfast after 40 years of wed to bliss the u.k. is out on its own we saw the 1st ferry leave britain's shores cross the channel and dock in cali and while the 1st lorry to enter the euro tunnel off to midnight might have been given a friendly go ahead for others trying to cross from wales and to ireland it wasn't such a pleasant the new well it has been quiet and wholly had so far today the port authority indicates that 6 freight loads bound for arlen's have had to be turned away due to not have the correct references but being nearly bogged down in red tape isn't the only thing dampening the spirit anger regret and bitterness a particularly strong in scotland with

a majority feeling that they'd be better off by quick brussels. scotland will be back soon europe give the light on some would say this is the 1st stage of grief denial but with support for scottish independence rising by the day and hitting 58 percent in recent weeks there's now a fear that breaking with brussels might well cost the u.k. its 300 year union with scotland so bracks it is might be revelling triumphantly in the new found independence now but there won't be any victory laps when they're left with a do find it kinda no wonder then the people who are nervous about the road ahead i would say as a young person my focus is mainly being on money travelling europe and education and opportunity might be taken away from my very very good the u.k. has given the will rock and got very little in return it's just going to make life a lot more complicated the biggest impact for me is just going to be not travelling

and really not feeling like i am a european anymore i feel like that's been kind of ripped away with everything while some a novice others just can't let the pasta go in fact they want to rewrite the campaign for britain's rejoin europe starts at midnight. in the meantime hundreds of thousands are hoping the e.u. will forgive them and hand on over a pity possible what while others have gone to extremes doing a deep dive into family archives praying that they can find some long lost friend job an italian it really doesn't matter a great great aunt 3 times a year or 2 may have never met but who might well be that lifeline to visa free travel if i understand it correctly i am french my mother was born in france her mother was totally french as was her grandfather so for me it is about reclaiming what i already have and that makes me very happy i will always be

a european that's for sure nothing like. father jumping ship to instill confidence in these uncertain times but boris isn't too bold that in fact he's wrong the pleased with himself this is an amazing moment for this country we have our freedom in our hands and he's up to us to make the most of it while it might be a freedom fountain of boris's hands but as restlessness disillusionment and division and britannia grow there's a sense that the only thing britons are left holding are empty promises of saskia mentioned scottish leaders are using direction to push for an independent scotland to be able to rejoin the e.u. but local journalist david jameson thinks that's unrealistic. the idea or independent scottish membership of the european union or nobody knows what nobody knows what basis and it's a totally untested proposition before the scottish cup we know that 62 percent

voted for the for the u.k. the membership of the european union in store but that would be wildly different for all scotland's membership let's remind ourselves as well that the european union is a very different organization for its major states its largest states lay france germany and formally u.k. it's a very different proposition for its much smaller states and i think it is in debate on a future independent scotland's membership of the european union then those issues will come sharply into focus and we should expect it. will be more critical of the idea than they were in the 2016 referendum when of course they were voting for a much larger state to stay in the european union and many more dangers facing scotland joining the european union as

a new small state. british medics have slammed the government's decision to delay a covert vaccine rollout officials have opted to hold back a 2nd doses of the pfizer biotech jab to speed up the release of the 1st doses time of record daily infections but a leading doctors association says the move to misguided. the issue that we have and with that strategy station u.k. is the fison rollout and has already started so we consented to patients full a 2nd vaccine as the money factors destructions and as the evidence when we started to give so now it reversed that decision hoffer 3 the vaccination program we all will reach and undermines the consent process and actually going to mind the vaccine and rollout as a whole vaccine trials showed that the 5 on tax shelters 52 percent effective after

a single dose that rises to 94 percent after the 2nd shot which has to be given within 3 weeks according to the manufacturer or just by those findings u.k. government medical advisors have decided to prioritize 1st doses meaning a potential gap of 12 weeks before the follow up injection. the committee advises initially protos and delivery of the 1st faxing dose is this is highly likely to have a great public health impacts in the short term and reduce the number of preventable deaths from coated 19 a concern is this hasn't been fully discussed with front line and docs is say the full implications of it are not fully going to skillet and and then we're not fully explaining things to our patients and as a front line he paid it leaves us in a very difficult position and i'm having to say to people yes he did consent and he received this vaccine 3 weeks ago and bullets actually we're going to delay it for 12 weeks and some of our patients maintenon to us and say actually i wouldn't have

gone through that vaccine had had i known that this was going tested regime we feel that what's really vital here is that the public have high confidence in the vaccine bowed out and high confidence that if we say we're going to do something that's what we day has been very it's been very very organized when patients have come to the face baxi they've been been given that report been in time to comb through that 2nd. 3 states so obviously a do is provide a religious tickle and nightmare to then have to cancel the news and then have to try and set up systems to very very quickly to make sure that we look cool they say she's in trouble each time and as best we can to call them to have the same vasty when actually a truck we are not sure the vaccines are is going to be a. mexico city is scrambling to contain a deadly spike in covert infections hospitals that are overflowing and it's meaning that sick people are being forced to self medicate at home and that in turn has caused the rush to buy life saving oxygen canisters.

we didn't have 1st of all conditions this means that people are struggling to get oxygen tanks and oxygen such business is in this line of work are being overwhelmed right now so you don't think. people shouldn't profit from necessity don't profiteer on the needs of other people because you're profiteering on their lives machine days ago there we feel was only 70 passes and now it's around 15015 days ago.

the u.s. congress has approved a new round of sanctions against the north stream to gas pipeline linking russia to europe the measures are included in the latest defense budget which was passed after lawmakers overrode a veto from president trump a male target companies involved in the construction of a north stream to washington claims the project will make europe overly dependent on russian energy supplies and boost the kremlin's influence but the youth refused to back down condemning u.s. efforts to deal rail construction. the extraterritorial sanctions run counter to international law european policy is to find in europe not in 3rd countries not stream 2 which is now almost complete is the 2nd stage of a pipeline network running under the baltics a once already at the pump enough russian natural gas to supply $26000000.00 european households work a final section is scheduled to start off the coast of denmark in mid january we heard from a member of germany's the left party she thinks the pressure from washington is

commercially driven and is likely to fail one goal is soon poles there are a collage equally harmful and expensive breaking as in europe but it is also about sabotaging relations between germany and russia it is none of their business with whom european country school parades it is especially ironic since the usa promotes free markets yet officially intervenes in free business decisions here in europe projects like these serving invested in yet it has to be feared that all falls through due to dictations and impositions from someone overseas but i don't think it can be stopped at this stage show very nearly finished construction. still ahead on our table be looking at the enjoying impact of last summer's black lives matter rallies in the united states that and more after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race is clearly a dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

all over again the clock from the notre dame cathedral in paris was almost entirely destroyed by the massive fire in 2019 but engineers hope to rebuild the large and intricate device which dates back to the 860 s. and the drawing on the unique expertise of russian clockmakers france correspondent and from cairo went to st petersburg to meet them. a total soldier would do the $2900.00 fire at the not done cathedral and this st petersburg watch factory have in common. at 1st sight nothing but the wreckage of factory cloth make sure no studying materials from the fire damaged clocks to determine what details they will

be able to restore. order the threads did that happen to that remarkable architectural monument the not to dawn broke our hearts we wanted to find out whether we could help restore at least some fragments of the clock that was almost entirely destroyed in the foyer so we sent a proposal to help with the restoration in any way we tell and we're still discussing all the nuances but they're starting to manufacture some elements this facility goes back to the saw the iraqis and the workers have experts with timepieces of all types and sizes the build the monumental clock for children's world moscow's largest toy store and this was when 4 and a half tons and measuring 6 by 7 meters consists of more than $5000.00 steel elemental entertaining parts some of which are gold plated reconstructing the knock them down clock is an equally ambitious task the work has just begun it is led by a french association which can count on st petersburg factory to bring about the

resurrection. after the not return fire received many calls from clockmakers their factory they said a tragedy has occurred this is a world heritage site we are deeply shocked i was amazed by that passion and sympathy because we are just at the beginning we received a 3 d. model and our design engineers are studying it they've already compiled a whole list of questions that will be submitted to the association we are trying to understand what parts we can produce on a road in my view this is a very long term project but the project is a huge challenge the clock is almost obliterated by the fire is similar timepieces have been found elsewhere they can be. mantled so engineers will have to create a 3 d. model based on what is visible and will then have to figure out how the concealed parts work were at the start of a long and complex journey. some other stories from around the world party goes in france of the police car and hold stones and bottles at officers as they try to

i hope. the year is 2020 and there is nothing more common than the sight of angry crowds and burning cars it's almost routine you've got right wing groups like the proud boys or the patriot prayer who clash in the streets with masked communists or anarchists under the label of anti far it's far from peaceful people get stabbed people get shot this summer many were horrified by the brutal killing of george floored at the hands of the police. let's say. for. the battleground message changed black lives matter protests rocked the country the national guard was called up it was chaos in the streets.

now in an effort to lighten the mood of a particularly tough year just past 20 twentieth's also seen its fair share of bizarre virus related stories. brings you some of the most unusual examples. people behave in the grain just way during a pandemic here is some of the oldest reactions we've seen to the coronavirus in 2020 british and american plastic surgeons have reported a 60 to 70 percent increase in the number of requests for a virtual consultation apparently it's because being on her means that you've got more time to recover and there's no need to face any one case the procedure goes hideously wrong it's so weird when you going to bring the old cousin eddie does to me. this whole reporting one country said the idea of a quarantine. and the malaysian government deemed the prospect of women going
