drone attack in iraq where the assassination took place angry crowds waving national flags demanded foreign troops leave the country people have been on the street since. last night having lit candles at the site of the attack and they've set up a memorial there so mani's murder sparked outrage in the middle east and showed us across the globe. so i. don't go to the gulf. i i. cut. out. early i. think it would be ok if it would be you know. i

i. think. so but those live pictures a very mix of them there the 1st 3 comes after taran the u.n. security council to stop what it called washington's military adventurism as the pentagon flew bombers over the region then on friday a top iranian official vowing revenge for solid moneys death. the resistance will make life for the enemy tougher and tougher one of the forms of harsh vengeance for more to sell him on his blood will be the definite expulsion of americans from the region another message of harsh vengeance will be punishing the perpetrators of this crime and those who ordered it. so the money is daughter told

arties going on the ground program that her father's killing had filled iranian 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 add 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's had a girl about the explosion in the 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 unfold 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 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 america thought 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 off the ah 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 chomp and they are so

wrong they are sinking this war will be end the end of general soli money this is the beginning our people are united and they will stand and front of such a they interest 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 each

one of them is worse than the other one. now let me recover some of the stories approach of the last 7 days the us registered a grim milestone over the holidays passing 20000000 confirmed cases since the pandemic began the deaths daily as well also set new records the state of california is reporting live out of intensive care capacity with los angeles county one of the worst affected areas overwhelmed hospitals are setting up makeshift outdoor wards and beds los angeles county even reportedly sent out rationing guidelines for clinics to give less kids of those less likely to survive is still unclear whether those guidelines are actually implemented in the way one of 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 also they could have released 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 in the wake of fishes the shooter say for the home order to try and stop a virus gatherings for anything other than emergencies and political or religious purposes were banned most non-essential companies been forced to shut to and the city's mayor urging 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 was her son tony again blaming public recklessness for the rapid spread of the virus i can't even imagine what would be like to be a governor right now this day. 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 or biddies but there's plenty of younger people that have died from this you know new york state snow registered more than a 1000000 covert cases since the outbreak began and the daily death toll is also at never record levels new york's mayor has been heavily criticized for telling a 100 residents to stay home and on the other was seeing dancing with his wife on times square on new year's eve next kellam open looks at how the controversies kept an especially tough year for that huge 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. the less of them over 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 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. new york. with a colleague of coasting veteran larry king has been taken to hospital after being diagnosed with covert 19 he's the host of larry king now in politicking here in our

wasn't all fun and games. there is no instruction manual for how to feel at a time like this and 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 not on it shows that bezos 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 a grueling lockdown shifts like safety protocols and no moscow and firing people who spoke out.

a light head there has been described president alberto fernandez described fears of using sputnik the warning it's 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 want to distribute the vaccine our sister channel our 2 spanish the reporting from outside one vaccination center in the capital one is aries. they 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 the delivery of the vaccines cause for. 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 byron 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 end. in the province more than 300000 people signed up for voluntary vaccination with very 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 of aleutian in the fight against. the campaign will involve around 7800 vaccinations centers as a whole distributing doses brought from russia everyone vaccinated will be supervised for possible side effects as well as to inform when a 2nd round of vaccines arrives more than $20000000.00 doses are expected to be delivered by february is total of a major positive effect against the virus. that's america analyst francesco debunkers told us in his fear washington's leading the propaganda campaign against v. to try to save face and he's a suitable. for to create a whole war elements fear deeply by the united states but also by some of the you could be in a car. and this is day 8 the typically of russia and china but the reason

needs that they have to come to the conclusion that they suffered a massive wave he goes with the. then me because these countries china russia and a few others actually are the ones if you have a. if you call people before profit if you actually care about the population rather and the unions and the results and you know demonstrably good whereas if you were to compare we formants all european countries in the united kingdom but also the united states where you have something close to 2 feet then that's the reason why it is the future campaign unfortunately it is all the buying it was the media and the asian rights and all that i consider it forces around magically and my reason we created a massacre but we're going to be the country controllers here the room where the jobs. the time the picture right now here in russia more than 26000 new covert

cases have been recorded in the past 24 hours most of the people are old with almost half of those cuts in the virus here in moscow over 46 years old however there is hope you know about what your age is this is a great story from the week. it's i don't know what the secret of my recovery ends but i know that we need to keep calm and preserve our nerves but a lot of. serious she was hospitalized in a relatively severe condition she was upbeat 10 responded well to the treatment she recovered quickly she felt really precious to us and we monitored her around the clock. to fix it because. we're grateful to the doctors she's an optimist and

radiates positivity that's why she's made us happy for song it is a. good job mary i'm sending you all love newsome brief before i go there's been multiple arrests as hundreds of anti lockdown protesters marched to the governor's mansion on capitol building in the u.s. state of oregon demonstrators called to deliberately spread covert to gain herd immunity and use guns they said to defeat restaurants that violate your dress. paying no caps police have broken up and made arrests at a 2nd mass new year's race we talked about another yesterday organizers of the multi day illegal party attended by hundreds in an abandoned barcelona warehouse face 600000 euro fine. pretty pictures here hope it stays like that though

stunning scenes of europe's largest volcano smoking for now fingers crossed dozens of earthquakes have hit cicely's there over the new year with white and black smoke and ash rising from its snowy peaks is a beautiful picture but the worry is of course. it could kick off we'll keep an eye on it you can keep it on our stories too without si dot com but that's it for now reporting from moscow kevin owen wishing a well i hope you're still having a good holiday for still celebrating and letting you know to our various programs in your part of the world coming up. the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own personal those words. the

day or thinks. we dare to ask. has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs it's not the people who are chronic pain and the believe that their opioid prescription is working for them and the remedy be said to. price at the. close of dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggest that . the long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually that because we want to.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. to kill or die time to sit down and talk. you know i can remember when it would flood one time in the fall and then one time in the spring you know a break up and now i mean already 3 times this year they said you know when people get nervous about the flooding of their houses and they need to stay in school or even getting out of new top because they're worried about that kind of stuff and just these last 2 storms have taken so much away you know he went measured the last couple storms and they're like knocked off 1020 feet in 111 day yeah and so

there's more journals i have to do journalism students in iraq and the kids right now journals about their worries about the floods i don't think are as catch on fire but a fire house let it as the very next thing they all wrote on their own was are all slotted we would grab and they've got some of the box of pictures by the door and. so. they've obviously been stressing about it my luggage and it was hard. what are you. a burglar. was. my 1st year here which was 15 years ago. i thought. you see these commercials you know and helping other countries and i'm thinking look at this place. and why isn't there commercial to help the people here.
