its global distribution as the country starts using brushes japanese. i remember our colleagues who died because they worked in the health sector i'm happy because this should be the end and i'm internally grateful on behalf of all of the nurses. are welcome the latest developments and i look back at the last 7 days to you watching the weekly here on r.t. international now tens of thousands of people have flooded on to the streets of the iraqi capital baghdad they are marking his the one year anniversary since the killing of the iranian military commander questions to the money by a u.s. drone strike in the country angry crowds waving national flags demanding foreign troops leave iraq they have been on the streets since last night having lit candles at the site of the attack and also set up

a memorial on the murder sparked outrage in the middle east and also tensions across the globe. so. i. sat. out. early. because if you get to the lobby. i .

think. well the anniversary does come after the u.n. security council to stop what it calls washington's military adventurism is the pentagon for the strategic bombers over the region and then on friday a top iranian official 5 revenge the solomonic step. that either the resistance will make life for the enemy tougher and tougher on one of the forms of harsher 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. daughter told r.t. is going underground that her father scaling hadfield a reining in anger. 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 a boat one am 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 me 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 won revenge and they are waiting for an answer because they know what general fully money did for them america thought that everything will be stopped because they killed general soleimani to follow or if the middle east but they are so wrong they didn't see the anger of the od 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 destroy isis 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 the ices 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. now this week the u.s. registered a grim milestone over the holidays passing 20000000 confirmed cases since the pandemic began

a number of daily deaths or save set new records while the state of california is reporting that its intensive care units are at full capacity or sundries county's one of the worst affected regions and overwhelmed hospitals they're setting up makeshift forwards and beds and outside and authorities have even reportedly sent out rationing guidelines for clinics to give less care to those less likely to survive although it is still unclear whether those guidelines have been implemented one nurse in l.a. 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 up 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 well l.a. officials have also issued a safer at home order to try and stop the virus gatherings for anything other than emergencies and political or religious purposes a band most non-essential companies have also been forced to shut down the city's mayor has people to think twice about their plans over the festive period. there's no celebrating this year for our 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 covert 1000 surge santini again does play in public

a 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 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 dies it does it matters your agent your cum or biddies but there's plenty of younger people that have died from this. meanwhile new york state has registered more than a 1000000 cases since the outbreak began and the death toll is also record levels however york's mayor is being heavily criticised at the moment after telling residents to stay home. with his wife on times square on new year's eve kind of often looks now at how the control of a city has kept an especially tough year in the 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 coded 19 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 downsizing stores and restaurants 'd 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 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. r.t. new york. the american broadcasting veteran larry king has been taken to hospital after being diagnosed with 19 he's the host of larry king and also politicking here an international he's 87 and said to be in a stable condition but remains on the medical watch because of his age and also a number of health issues during his most decade career with the media including

c.n.n. and he has interviewed many of the world's leading figures do you wish him all the best and of course a very speedy recovery you watch and we can r.t. still to come russia's friend of ours jeff makes headway international. please argentina starts a massive vaccination campaign with this but the vaccine will have the details just 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 often spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words. thinks. we dare to ask. again you without saying that despite the turmoil of the past year a surprising number of businesses actually made record profits in fact scores of

people in the us became billionaires that's according to report by the american based institute for policy studies but it's also against the backdrop of rising unemployment and layoffs across the country so expect. 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 short major health crisis hospitals and health care workers are bracing for an onslaught of patients storing unemployment numbers and 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 family is a 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 to 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 how 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 imus and harvey blockbuster a year but according to the richest man or not just who made $75000000.00 as the global economy just crashed and bought and apparently it wasn't all fun and games. there is no instruction manual for how to feel at the 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 there is nothing on it shows that bats 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 not downshifts lack safety protocols and no moscow and firing people who spoke out. of the army the problem with that you have a belief that you don't you just let you track the virus it's like what you think it's that they want you to get sick you know here you know what happened afterwards

is not enough to make even. a relief on this about protection well he does what the body. workers will call a jeff basis 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 could have beat making 75000000000 a year but you can just ask your own mosque he might have been broken 2008 but he will 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. all across your forehead might. break the people's freedoms and where there are already. people.

and. so instead of forcibly imprisoning people in their homes musk courage people to get back to work all face starvation and get addicted or 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 goes 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. just a tale of their now argentina has started a mask vaccination program with brushes. with health workers they're among the 1st to receive it the country follows russia and belarus in improving the show argentina's health ministry does say to him so far is seen only minimal side effects like a headache and fever in one percent of people who've taken it meanwhile president alberta fernandez has dismissed fears of using sputnik the vaccine and believes is

for him victim to a politically driven international smear campaign. from there is a very vicious dispute going on very cruel dispute and a shameful one by some discredit others 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 is a geopolitical dispute who will be the want to distribute the vaccine our sister channel r.t. spanish reports now from outside one vaccination center in the capital of 20 years . will be remembered in argentina as the start of the biggest vaccination ever carried out in the country marginson 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 cause for optimism. 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 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 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 like all others but also represents

a real trial of a sensitive group aleutian in the fight against corona virus the campaign will involve around 7800 vaccinations centers as a whole 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 america commentator francisco domingo has told us that washington is leading the propaganda campaign against in a bid to save face. these are sort of effort to create a call all animals fear deeply by the united states but also by some of the european car. and this is day 8 the tickly of russia and china i think the reason needs and they have to come to the conclusion that there is certain a massive baby going to be fighting against the gun then because these countries

china russia and a few others actually have demonstrated that if you have a good set if you put people before profits if you actually cared about the population rather than anything humans then the results are you know demonstrably good whereas if you were to compare the formants all european countries the united kingdom but also the united states where you have something closed at best to prevent that's the reason why there is a huge campaign unfortunately she's bored by it with the media and the occasional right into you know supported by conservative forces around madly and my prison created a mass the greatest we're going to make leave the country controllers here there were 3 jobs. meanwhile in russia more than 26000 new k.b. cases have been recorded in the past 24 hours most of the victims are over the paper almost half of those catching the virus here in moscow over 46 years old

however one pensioner is proving that there is hope no matter how old. it's i don't know what the secret of my recovery efforts but i know that we need to keep calm and preserve our nerves but that's a lot of. money so she was hospitalized in a relatively severe condition she was upbeat and responded well to the treatment she recovered quickly she felt really precious to us and we monitored her around the clock. is ticking because. we're grateful to the doctors she's an optimist and radiates positivity that's why she's made us happy foresaw you getting.

some world news in 3 sunday now and there have been multiple arrests as hundreds of antidote dam protesters marched to the governor's mansion and capitol building in the u.s. state of oregon demonstrators called to deliberately spread it to gain herd immunity and use guns to defend restaurants that violate shutdown orders in spain cattle and police have broken up a 2nd mass new year's eve and made arrests there the most multi day illegal party was attended by hundreds in abandoned warehouse in barcelona is organizers now face a 600000 fewer fine and when i'm with some stunning scenes of europe's largest volcano smoking dozens of earthquakes if it cicely's mount etna over the new year with white and black smoke and ash rising from it snow it's.

nice way to end the bulletin that's the weekly thanks watching more from us that the top. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. has changed many american lives and pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs it's not the people who are chronic pain and believe that their prescription is working for them on the remedy be certain to do . price that they pay closer dependency an addiction to opiates the long term use that really isn't scientifically justified in our study actually suggest that. the

long term effects may not just be absence of benefit but actually that they may be causing long term. while the is a part of their times in life when much of what your whole this true thing is debunk this with this of treaties turned out to be the worst and when you realize

that the people who are of doing or harm me or your loved ones see current such realisation has arrived or in store for millions of people around the world suffering from insulin resistance a condition that tracks the body's major goal of getting insistence that nothing can just be for life and then all of a jap how do you see through sweet lies the truth is i feel it's too late or to discuss it i'm now joined by a professor it's you know some prominent south african athlete scientist and the author of floor of the attrition practice i know said such a crew is for me to talk to you so great to see you thank here well thank you very much as an illness be on your show i don't want you to hear it in the beginning of our conversation but you are an extraordinary your great. what i find most impressive about you is that having accumulated all that flab. you actually had the courage to recognize that much of your lives were misguided that it actually cost

harm and you had if you just say it out loud that shakespeare and authentically strong person do that how was it like for you. you know it's on that thank you very much you know i didn't realize what the outcome would be when i changed my mind but i like the truth and i had watched my dad dive type 2 diabetes and as a medical doctor you know i would have sort of like to help him but i couldn't because i was raised in the paradigm which holds that diabetes is an irreversible disease it's progressive so what i saw happening in my father that i expected to happen when i didn't have time to dadi cheese and then by chaunce came across a book which convinced me that the low carbohydrate diet was the solution to diabetes and then i tried it and i reduced my dive deep.
