the pandemic began the number of daily deaths has also set new records while the state of california is reporting that its intensive care units are at full capacity los angeles county is one of the worst affected regions overwhelmed hospitals there are setting up makeshift wards and beds outside and the authorities have even reportedly sent out rationing guidelines for clinics to give them quote less care to those less likely to survive although it's 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 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 curb the spread of the virus catherine is for anything other than emergencies and political or religious purposes have been banned most non-essential companies have been forced to shut down in 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 covert 1000 surge from r.c.f.

santini its public recklessness that's to blame for the rapid spread of the virus i can't even a mountain 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 were saving why 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 come more goodies but there's plenty of younger people that have died from this. over on the east coast new york state has now registered more than a 1000000 covert cases since the pandemic began and the daily number of deaths is also at near record levels despite that the mayor is being heavily criticized after telling residents to stay home but then being seen dancing with his wife on times square on new year's eve and takes a closer look at the controversy which finishes out an especially tough year for the 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. this jar 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. 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 the 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 kaleb mop and r.t. new york. or an american broadcaster larry king is being treated in the hospital after being diagnosed with copd 19 he's the host of larry king now and also political thing here on r t king is 87 and is said to be in stable condition but remains under medical watch because of his age and a number of health issues his news career stretches back 6 decades including

when i will show small seemed wrong when old quotes just don't hold. any old belief yet to shape our disdain to become agitated and in gains from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when you choose to look for common ground. welcome back to the weekly despite the turmoil of the past year a surprising number of businesses actually made record profits in fact dozens of

people in the u.s. became billionaires that's according to a report by the u.s. based institute for policy studies but it's also against the backdrop of rising unemployment and hardship across the country as taylor explains 2020 the years that won't be missed coronavirus coated millions we've incurred a virus a covert 19 entire health care system that is on the very brink of collapse lockdown shut down major health questions hospitals and health care workers are bracing for an onslaught of growth of virus patients storing unemployment and so many workers are still hurting very badly as the economy starts to tank hunger. and muss unemployment collapsed businesses whole industries brought to that knees stupidity 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 us 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 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 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. of the army the border problem with the word that you have a veto on you don't you just let you track the virus just like what you think if they want you to get sick you know here you know what happened afterwards 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 could have beat to 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. to foreign might. break the people's freedoms and where the. people.

a very vicious dispute going on very cruel dispute and it's shameful one of my sons quoted now 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 corresponded ricardo romero from artie's spanish channel reports from outside a vaccination center in the capital. they will be remembered in argentina as the start of the biggest of x. nation ever carried out in the country has received $300000.00 doses and. the focus is on monitoring the vaccination of medical workers and hospital staff of caring for people infected with hiv 19 they were the 1st time a vaccine across medical centers worked hard to tackle the virus but it's been difficult not least because some of the missing colleagues lose their lives the delivery of the vaccine. this is

$7800.00 vaccination centers as a whole and distributing those. 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. latin american commentator francisco domingo has told us washington his wrists is leading the propaganda campaign against sputnik the in an effort to save face and he's a suitable. for to create a cold war other most fear deeply by the united states but also by some of the. d.c. . russia and china but the reason needs. to come to the conclusion that they sent in a massive. the you need to go and then because these countries china russia and

a few others actually have them if you have an incentive if you put people before property if you actually cared about the population rather and then the results of you know the most to be good when. we. all european countries the united kingdom but also the united states where you have something close to putin that's the reason why it isn't huge campaign unfortunately she's bored by it with the media and the occasional once in order to consider the forces that run magically on my resume we've created a must 1st we're going to be the country control this year there were the jobs. meanwhile in russia more than 26000 new covered cases were recorded on saturday most infections are among older people with almost half of those catching the virus in moscow being over 46 years old however one pensioner is proving there is hope no matter how old you are.
