site of the attack and creating a memorial with a car in which she was killed and then on friday at operating an official revenge for sum of money is death. the resistance will make life for the enemy tougher and tougher on one of the forms of harsh vengeance for more to sell him on his blood will be different expulsion of americans from the region another method of horse vengeance will be punishing the perpetrators of this crime and those who ordered it. so the money his daughter told r.t. is going underground that her father's killing had fueled a radio in anger. the turbot night. before a few hours that this happened for my father i hear and i spoke with him on the phone and i knew it that the situation in iraq was so dangerous so i added a child for the new is in iraq and my telegram of all it one am

i see every deal is sharing on that china telegram about explosion in airport i had a phone call after that i hear from one of our friend he was asking for my father at various he is he ok or no because i hear any news that there is explosion in airport. and your father was in the car and they hit it i got so shocked and full of stress like my heart was going from my chest when i turned on the t.v. and i saw his picture. i understand what happened and from that they tell not i'm still shocked a lot of what happened it's so hard to believe how is the death of the off road run together what happened in iran and iraq was something something so special in the history you see how people come to the street and they are crying and they are sad and they are angry and they wonder bench and they are

waiting for an answer because they know. what generals really money did for them america sought that everything will be stopped because they killed general soleimani defiler of the middle east but they are so wrong they didn't see the anger in the eyes of iranian people they didn't see their tears they didn't see their sadness and i have to say that generously money has a military from people. that they will take revenge from trump and they are so wrong they are thinking this war will be end the end of general soli money this is the beginning our people are united and they will stand in front of such a they just powers why would donald trump say that your father was a monster he is the monster not my father my father did his job so well and

make them so angry you are seeing every plan they are making them and the list is destroyed everywhere they are trying to enter and hurt iran they are failed why of course for them my father is a big monster but my father is a savior he saves people not just his own country he did this for all countries he did this for people not just middle east he this troy i says because he don't want people people innocent in europe got killed by such a dangerous virus how my father can be a person who wants to kill an american people and people in europe how he was saving them from i says he was saving them so don't let anyone to hurt them he was fighting for them how he can be

a terrorist to kill people do you think it means anything that joe biden will be in the white house there is no difference between biden trump they are the same guy and they are following the same policy there is no difference between them trump or dare killing my father but biden support death so there is no different the problem we have with our it is with their policy this will not change they are the same people the same mind the same way. and each one of them is worse than the other one. small a big news report in the week just gone next the pandemic of course making headlines next to hit a grim milestone over the holidays in the u.s. passing 20000000 confirmed cases since the pandemic began the number of daily deaths is also setting new records in los angeles county is one of the worst

affected areas intensive care units the so full across southern california with overwhelmed hospitals now setting up makeshift outdoor wards and beds counting even reported sending out rationing guidelines for clinics to give less care to those less likely to survive it's still unclear whether those guidelines were implemented what l.a. nurse told us just how bad the situation has become. we're stuck now we were running low on oxygen on supplies on you know all the respiratory drugs definitely bad definitely staff we don't have enough staff we are beyond stretched we have patients in overflow overflow overflow areas that were never intended to have patients other hospitals are setting out makeshift units outside of the hospital our government they blew it all so they could have released to the defense

production act and ramped up the production of p.p. and all the other supplies that we need and they didn't do that so the whole the whole nations in a big big predicament of how we're going to be able to treat patients safely and give them the care that they need l.a. officials issued a safer at home order to try and stop the virus gatherings for anything other than emergencies and political or religious purposes were banned most non-essential companies been forced to shut down the city's mayor urged people to think twice about their plans over the festive period. there's no celebrating this year for health care workers who are facing the toughest times they've ever seen for them which staying home for them with skipping holiday parties every sacrifice makes a difference to stopping the cove at 19 so. the again blamed public recklessness for the rapid spread of the virus i can't even imagine what it be like to be a governor right now of a state. especially california california is

a powerhouse right it's got the 6th largest economy in the world and. the fact that you know businesses are shutting down you have a lot of very vocal californians and and they were giving him a tremendous amount of pressure to open up and i understand that but you could open up safely and people just weren't big saving why i would drive by bars and people would have their masks off and they would be it be densely densely crowded and then you hear people like running out homes and having parties where there's 1000 people there so it's the public it's us it's the ignorance of the human being we continue to. defy the recommendations of the c.d.c. we continue to gather and i understand how important holidays are there just as important for me i haven't seen my family in mind it's terribly serious and people

need to understand that you have to be careful and it doesn't matter your age it doesn't matter yes it dies it does it matters your age and your come morbidity but there's plenty of younger people that have died from this. meantime new york state's registered more than a 1000000 covert cases since the end of the daily death toll is also near record levels and new york's mayor in the week heavily criticized for telling residents to stay home on one hand yet was seeing done with his wife on times square on new year's eve kind of looks at how the controversies come to the specially tough year for 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.

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 pretty locked down 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 down each night in order to be clean and comply with health regulations

new york city is going to enter 2021 with the 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 caleb mop and r.t. new york concerning news this morning american broadcasting veteran larry king's been taken to hospital after being diagnosed with covert 19 he's of course the host of larry king now and politicking here on r.t. he's 87 and said to be in a stable condition put remains on the medical watch because of his age and a number of health issues in king's multi decades career with media including c.n.n. for a long time interviewed many of the world's leading figures full of a say larry get well soon thinking of you. kids coming out 14 past not of the morning high what we got coming out well russia's coronavirus makes headway

internationally is taking a starts a mass vaccination campaign with the sputnik v. vaccine just one of our stories ahead.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in this spirit dramatic development that only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk. again morning despite the turmoil of the last year a remarkable number of business leaders made record profits it seems again in fact scores of people in the us became billionaires according to a report by the american based institute for policy studies despite steep rise in

unemployment mass layoffs across the country so that story 2020 the years that won't be missed coronavirus current virus a covert 19 entire health care system is on the very brink of collapse lockdown shut down major health crisis hospitals and health care workers are bracing for an onslaught of coronavirus patients storing unemployment numbers so many workers are still hurting very badly as the economy starts to tank hunger. and mass unemployment collapsed businesses whole industries brought to their knees stability security and choice just wiped out. we're hearing the same refrain all around the world families are very worried as they are forced to make impossible decisions do they risk the disease as they go out to earn money to buy food will stay home and watch their children go hungry but as some plunged into dire financial straits

others soared to unimaginable heights how well it turns out that a pandemic is just the thing to help take the video conferencing up didn't even exist before 2020 no one knows will it exist after 2020 no one knows and given its c.e.o. pocketed 17000000000 dollars this year i doubt he's having sleepless nights also sleeping soundly jeff bezos with people border home amazon had a blockbuster year but according to the richest man or not who made $75000000000.00 as the global economy just crashed in pa and apparently it wasn't all fun and games . there is no instruction manual for how to feel at a time like this i know this causes stress for everyone my list of worries right now like yours i'm sure is long for my own children parents friends to the safety of you my colleagues to those who are already very sick and to the brutal home that

will be caused by the economic fallout across our communities well that might not be a manual but that is math and it shows that baz also could give $105000.00 bonus to every single amazon waka and still be as rich as he was at the start of the pandemic but he didn't what did happen was grueling lockdown shifts like safety protocols and no moscow and firing people who spoke out. was army the border problem with that you have a veto and then you don't you just do it but you try to divide it's like what you think it's they want you to get sick you know here and you know what the word is not enough to even. believe one is about protection well he was the body that workers will college of business and other c.e.o.'s as pandemic profiteers who

have made billions while putting workers and their families friends and neighbors at risk do you think you couldn't be making 75000000000 a year but you can just ask you know musk he might have been broken 2008 but he'll raked in 123000000000 in 2020 and when the cash is flowing you know wanted to stop. all of it. forcibly imprisoning people in their homes. might. break the people's freedoms and where the. people. america. bridges and. so instead of forcibly imprisoning people in their homes musk courage people to get back to work all face starvation and get affected on no pay

what's that lethal virus after all you know you're talking about saving humanity but these are humans that die in the process everybody dies 2020 the year one man could afford to just blow up his rocket while hundreds of millions are left picking up the pieces of their lives. argentina is rolling out a mask over vaccination campaign with russia sputnik health workers a 1st in line the country follows rush for a better or worse than it approving the shot argentina's health ministry reporting a common vaccine reaction in only one percent of those who've had the job so far such as a light headache president. has dismissed fears of using the warning is fallen victim he said to a politically driven international smear campaign. there is a very vicious dispute going on a very cruel dispute and a shameful one where by some discredit how this and i think the 1st thing to bear in mind is that

a trade war has been unleashed also since the whole world is eager for the vaccine there's a geo political dispute who will be the one to distribute the vaccine so when the ecosystem spanish reported from outside one vaccination center in the capital it. we'll be remembered in argentina as the start of the biggest vaccination ever carried out in the country has received 300000 doses of v. now the focus is on monitoring the vaccination of medical workers and hospital staff of caring for people infected with coded 19 they were the 1st to receive the vaccine across medical centers they worked hard to tackle the virus but it's been difficult not least because some of even seeing colleagues lose their lives the delivery of the vaccines cause for dismissal. this is a ray of hope for us it's like we've crossed the line of fire and are now moving forward against this damned virus we had a very difficult year there was a lot of fear this is

a great hope for us and i'm eternally grateful on behalf of all of the nurses. i am satisfied i am very happy these are the emotions that come to my mind now i remember our colleagues who died because they worked in the health sector and happy because this should and. province more than 300000 people signed up for voluntary vaccination with the provincial governor who was the 1st to be vaccinated in the region detail the significance of this new step in the fight against the pandemic. it seems to me today is the beginning of a new stage for us the largest vaccination campaign in the history of the province of when a serious begin this morning and this is a vaccine that not only prevents disease. but also represents a real triumph. in the fight against the virus the campaign will involve around 7800 vaccinations centers as a whole of distributing doses brought from russia vaccinated will be supervised for

possible side effects as well as to inform when a 2nd round of vaccines arrives more than 20000000 doses are expected to be delivered by february 11th major positive effect against the virus. that's america unless francisco demand has told us that washington is leading a propaganda campaign against put an exhibit a safe place and eases up the. effort to create a call all other means fear deeply by the united states but also by some of the european car. and this is day 8 the typically of russia and china i think the reason needs. to come to the conclusion that there is certain a massive way to go with the. then because these countries china russia and a few others actually have demonstrated that if you have a. if you poll people before profit if you actually cared about the population rather than any of the indians then the results of you know the most good well if

you were to compare formants or european countries in the united kingdom but also the united states where you have something close to of it then that's the reason why it is the future campaign unfortunately it is all the buying it was the media and the caterers in all the conservative forces around madly and my prison who created the mass the 1st we're going to meet you the country controllers here they were in jobs. meantime related news here in russia more than 26000 new covert cases have been recorded in the past 24 hours most of the victims are older people with almost half of those catching the virus in moscow over 46 years old however all that said one retiree is proving this big hope now muddier a just has a nice story for the week.

a miraculous solution. based drugs for the people who are chronic pain patients and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them in the remedy to be sent to to the price that they pay closer dependence and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggested that the long term effects might not just be the absence of benefit but actually that they might be causing long term. is you'll be via reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led so.
