i see. 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 streets 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 general silly money did for them i mean it's a way money to power of the middle east but they are so wrong they didn't see the anger off the ah and 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 saved people not just his own country he did this for all countries he did this for people not just middle east he destroyed 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 it's one of them is worse than the other one. the nexus of the big news stories that we brought you the pandemic hit a grim milestone over the holidays in the u.s. passing 20000000 confirmed cases since the pandemic began and the number of daily deaths also set new records with los angeles county one of the worst affected areas intensive care units full across southern california with overwhelmed hospitals

setting up makeshift outdoor wards and beds for scientists county even reportedly sent out rationing guidelines for clinics to give less care to those less likely to survive still unclear whether those guidelines are actually implemented one early nurse told us just how bad the situation had become. we're stuck now we were running low on oxygen and 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 now 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 have been forced to shut and the city mayor has 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 we're staying home for them we're skipping holiday parties every sacrifice makes a difference to stopping the covert 1000 surge. public recklessness for the rapid spread of the virus i can't even imagine what would 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 being saved in my i would drive by bars and people would have their masks off and there'd be if 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 mines 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 does it does it matters your age and your cum morbidity but

there's plenty of younger people that have died from this. new york state's non-registered more than a 1000000 covert cases since the outbreak and the daily death tolls also it may have record levels new york's mayor was heavily criticized for telling residents to stay home yet at the same time we've seen the city with his wife own times square on new year's eve of open looks at how the controversies cut to the specially tough year for that city. as the new year rolls 'd 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 covert 19 with very swift measures and a local government is reassuring everyone that soon things will be back to normal. in the u.s. of them over here in new york city all over 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 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 by conic 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 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. r.t. new york. this morning with american broadcasting veteran larry king has been taken to hospital after being diagnosed with. these of course the host of larry king now and politicking here and he's 87 and said to be in a stable condition but remains under medical watch because of his age and a number of health issues king's multi decade career with media including long time at c.n.n. he interviewed many of the world's leading figures message from his soul larry get well soon were thinking of you. roy coming up putting into a breakup to that this russia's coronavirus makes headway internationally as argentina starts a mass vaccination campaign with this. the
