perpetrators of this crime and those who did it. so the money is daughter told r.t. is going underground program of her father's killing had filled a radio. that turbot all 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 chattels for the new is in iraq and my telegram. 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 in iran together what happened in iran and iraq was something it's 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 events 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 departure of the middle east but they are so wrong they didn't see the anger of the art in the eyes of iranian people they didn't see their tears they

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. now to some a big source approach to the last we can recap the pandemic hit a grim milestone over the holidays in the u.s. passing 20000000 confirmed cases since the pandemic began the number of daily deaths also set new records with los angeles county one of the worst affected areas intensive care units are full across southern california with overwhelm hospital setting up makeshift outdoor wards and beds for scientists county even reportedly sent out rationing guidelines for clinics to give less kid to those less likely to survive is still unclear whether those guidelines were actually implemented or not what i nurse told us just how bad the situation had 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 hello officials in the week issued a safe route home order to try and stop the virus gatherings for anything other than emergencies or political or religious purposes were banned most don't

essential companies were forced to shut the city's mayor urge 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 19 surge. again blames public recklessness for the rapid spread of the virus. i can't even imagine what it be like to be a governor right now the 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 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 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 has now registered more than a 1000000 covert cases since the outbreak began in the daily death toll is also it may have record levels new york's mayor is being heavily criticized too for telling

residents someone had to stay home their only other was seeing dancing with his wife in times square in new york cullum open. looks at how next the controversies cut them what has been an especially tough year for the famous 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 covert 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 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 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 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.

up the pieces of their lives. argentina is rolling out a mask over vaccination campaign with russia sputnik the health workers are 1st in line expect the country follows rush or umbrella in approving the shot argentina's health ministry reports common reaction in only one percent of voters heard the job such as a light headache has been described president or burt of hernandez dismissing fears than of using sputnik the warning it's fallen victim he said to a politically driven international smear campaign in from there's 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 says the whole world is eager for the vaccine there's a geo political dispute who will be the one to distribute the vaccine in the week our sister channel r.t. spanish reported them from outside one vaccination center in the capital one of

harry's. will 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 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 to delivery of the vaccines course. 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
