she says to look for common ground. welcome back to watching r.t. international america's vaccine rollout isn't quite going to plan the country missed its target of inoculating 20000000 people by the year's end and getting the job to fewer than 3000000 in 2020 sus to tailor picks up the story. it might be a new year but it's cool to buy the same old problems on the fust day of 2021 the us hit $20000000.00 kovac 19 cases but just out was before as the clock struck midnight thousands flooded the streets hoping that the next $365.00 days would just be that little bit that.

scared i don't know what will happen 1st rule for 2021 don't talk about 2020 and i believe this is there we go she started here we did. that everything is going to get better actually working at the c.b.s. and his own crazy with the covert vaccine and everything right now we really hope that everything goes back to normal this christmas i new year many wished for a return to our old normal lives something top medical advisors have been promising was just around the corner by the time we get into all of 2021 we could be approaching some level of normality tuns out though the very thing they said would quite literally set us free the fact scene is cool top in its own trauma president health experts in operation warp speed hope to have 20000000 americans vaccinated

by now but things are going slower than 1st thought there is now growing frustration building over the slow rollout of the coronavirus vaccines across the u.s. there's only a small percentage of the vaccine that's been distributed by the federal government that has actually been administered the massive vaccination campaign against the coronavirus in the u.s. has gotten off to a slower start. very slower start there's no way we can speed this up in the near term 14000000 doses of the fine and madonna fight scenes have been distributed across america but fewer than 3000000 have been administered it why well donald trump says he's done his job but states aren't doing that. the federal government has distributed the vaccines to the states now it is up to the states to administer get moving a blame game that didn't go down well with those who say it's a lack of direction from the top that's left people i worked in the cold. that

comprehensive vaccination plans have not been developed at the federal level and sent to the states as models is as and comprehensible as it is inexcusable it was unrealistic to assume that the health care workers already overburdened with covert care could take on a massive vaccination program many of those of the bugs and health care while because on now protesting they say they were promised a vaccine and instead face and miscues and crashing apps if that lucky that's despite being in contact with infected people all hours of the day for 10 months straight the promise to vaccinate them as a priority fell apart as quickly as the promise to inoculate 20000000 by the end of 2020 so if they're not going to be at risk groups where all they going while no one apparently there are delays at every corner of the number is lower than the us we hope for we know that it should be better and are working hard to make the best

tons out holiday period and snow storms on what a smooth rollout means but even once the holidays end in the snow melts if nothing changes unless say it would take almost 10 years to vaccinate enough americans to control the virus gives a whole new meaning to a peroration warp speed and the mess continues on a local level 2. is it just normal teaching problems of one of the most ambitious vaccination campaigns in u.s. history or is it just incompetence at every level. either way it looks like to to

all meant to bring is now only outing to the chaos from the very beginning of the pandemic in the united states what we've lacked is any storage of national strategy the trump administration as you know worked against developing a national strategy it didn't have any problem with taking billions of dollars of public money and giving it to private corporations to develop a vaccine but then when it came to the states saying that they needed money in order to administer the vaccine it was you know just millions that were given out for that state to getting around you know $7000000.00 and this is completely inadequate for the states are overwhelmed already with the cove in 1000 crisis and just didn't have the capacity to set up an infrastructure to vaccinate people and so right now they're scrambling to try to set up sites to give the vaccinations figure out who should be prioritized and how they're going to get it to them so you

know all these months of trying to create a vaccine and that time was wasted in terms of developing a plan for how to actually get the vaccine to the people who need it. well europe too is struggling to get its citizens vaccinated. branding the sluggish france in particular has been in the firing line says r.t. show that the pinsky with more. france's vaccine has been rolled out and criticized by many is being done at as snail's pace in the weeks since that program has been rolled out only a few 100 is said to have had the job compare that say to germany where over 40000 people have already received the 1st inoculation now there are some reasons for that here in france you have to give written consent to have the 19 jab and of course there is this huge distrust of vaccines so 40 percent of people say that they will have the vaccine meaning around 60 percent of people who have responded

to surveys here in france say they won't be having it now the government says that yes it's being cautious but this is a marathon not a sprint others though are saying that in needs to be more urgency there is still time to make up for this feeling of a sluggish start to vaccination it is a matter of urgency now to give an optimistic outlook now the e.u. has also come under fire for not ordering enough vaccine 1st of all this criticism came from pfizer biotech this is the manufacture of the only fact seen so far been approved for use in the e.u. but there's also been criticism from some quarters in germany obviously the european purchasing procedure was inadequate it is difficult to explain how a very good vaccine was developed in germany but is available more quickly elsewhere now to put this into context the e.u. ordered some 300000000 doses of the pfizer bio on tekken vaccine now the e.u.

is also set to approve another vaccine in the coming days this isn't the done a vaccine of which it did 160000000 doses of now this of course comes in the context as the number of couvade 19 infections is said to be rising again and there are fresh restrictions that have been put in place in some european countries greece for exams. said it's going into a week long lockdown and here in france where there is a curfew already in place across the country from 8 pm has decided to tighten that even further in some parts this is in eastern parts of the country where the curfew will now start at 6 pm in the evening leading to criticism there. from 5 to 7 pm is where people leave work so there's obviously a lot of turnover because when people leave at 5 they want to have a wander around so the situation has now been complicated of all this to our difference has a serious effect and revenue is down when people come in and try things so as

a bakery clients no longer come in. which you would need 85 percent of our sales revenue between $5.00 and 7 pm so there's a restaurant we try and get by we're now being hit even harder so we look for new solutions to survive but despite the restrictions continuing and the fresh measures there are many who are still willing to flout the law take over the new year's eve when mass parties were banned here in france. it seems that 2020 may be over but europe is still not out of the code words in 2021. meanwhile the british prime minister has put

himself at odds with teaching unions he says that parents should send their children back to school on monday in areas where they are open. schools are safe very very important to stress that the threats to the risk to the kids to young people is really very very very small force johnson says schools are safe but the government scientists say they should be shot to tackle the virus his government is already responsible for the unnecessary deaths of tens of thousands of people it can't be trusted teachers can i back the national education union i stand in solidarity with teachers and head teachers who are taking the fight to this government forcing them to listen to sages advice to close schools schools are not safe they must close listen to sage more labor minister a presentation by boris johnson he appears on mars this morning insisting that

schools are safe but forgets to mention that his own scientists told him that it can get on top of it 1000 without closing schools while the question of whether children should go back to school after the christmas holidays has been hotly debated the government is facing pressure from teachers who want schools to remain closed in england for 2 more weeks currently most primary schools are expected to open in england excluding the ones in london the return of secondary schools is expected later this month john hall a teacher a member of a teaching trade union shared his frustration. i find the reason the people the schools in the capital closed yes but also to what they should do what they should look to do is because london schools an area for i work in newcastle upon tyne which is in the northeast of england who weren't here for through lots of areas are green which are into it or so if london schools are going to meet clause

'd from general forth and we expect all schools interior for all to remain closed at the moment it's not up to the government asked to at the schools will will reopen is not to each employer. is not the employer of teachers in england the any as you can see so it is union house written to each employer asking them to carry out next new risk assessment to ensure that the schools are safe and nice why the fall is not a reasonable date or stross to reopen. it will take at least a week to 2 weeks if you all use constancy ation with staff and take place and that schools are mean steve well the outcry over schools does come as the u.k. sees a major spike in daily corona virus infections following christmas nearly 55000 new

cases were reported on sunday the total number of cases a supply asked to point 6000000 with over 75000 deaths john hall again accuses the government of mishandling the pandemic. not conceivably. that she choose and the union representatives that much hope made mistakes time and how they can. not listen to. each other i just i'm. so on and on still not 10 cent been excellent i said the government really want us to just be yours what is happening for a while each of the next. profession certainly be very extreme commutes each year in house law could produce such a hole in ligaments in the we'll be howling this week absolutely in how we are

handling the education of students in this group. ok let's give you a recap then of our breaking news this hour because a british judge has ruled against extraditing junior science to the united states due to concerns over his mental health the u.s. says it will appeal the court's decision and has 15 days to do so the court says that a sanch will remain in custody while the u.s. government lodges its appeal at the same time it also said a decision on whether to release the weeklies co-founder on bail will be taken on wednesday stateside the weaklings co-founder faces espionage charges for publishing secret military documents he is known to the world for exposing u.s. war crimes the u.s. has indicted him on 17 counts of spying and one of conspiracy to hack a government computer he would face up to 175 years in prison if convicted well there were massive celebrations outside the london court has when the judge announced the verdict. was read.

was. a fire it was was it was. it was there was was no but it was was it was a lot of folks now the events that did lead up to the songes long fight for freedom . jr and his son has come a long way from an obscure activist to freedom fighter or traitor depending on who you are squarely one thing you can deny him though is that he led the charge that we kill leaks to dig up the secrets that america's intelligence colossus spent

billions of dollars burying and he succeeded. field reports from iraq military logs from afghanistan sensitive documents from

guantanamo bay none of which made the u.s. look particularly good i would argue that it's closer to being the high tech terrorist it isn't it i mean international community i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death i don't want to do it illegally shoot the son of a. great discredit to this nation should be assassinated he should be treated as an enemy combatant it didn't take long for a son to experience firsthand what it means to be uncle sam's public enemy the us went after the whistleblower launching a probe into his actions at the same time a seemingly unrelated sexual assault investigation was opened. in sweden a son himself though claimed it was all part of americas to extradite him by all means possible the pressure mounted so when 2012 a son requested asylum from ecuador and holed up in the country's embassy in london this kicked off what would become

a long 7 years of confinement with even the u.n. calling for an end to this suffering various forms of deprivation of liberty to which julian assange has been subjected constitute a form of arbitrary detention the working group maintains that the arbitrary detention of mr assigned should be brought to an end instead the old things short from bad to even worse for a sign of ecuador's new president who was looking for warmer relations with the u.s. seem to take personal offense when we can leaks wrote about corruption allegations against him sanj was shown the door artie's video agency ruptly turned out to be the only outlet to catch the moment asuncion was literally carried out of the building some 7 years after he stepped in it. was. once u.k.

law enforcement got their hands on a son they threw him in prison a proper one but the u.s. government is looking to try him under american law where the whistleblower faces more than a 100 years behind bars now every cording that emerged in line has sparked another wave of calls to pardon the whistleblower in the tape ironically julian a son she was trying to help u.s. authorities minimize the fallout of the 2011 leaks. which will have an. hour here is more or. but we have been calling. p.m.c. . every day trying to explain. the holdback donald trump since you're given pardons to people please consider pardoning those who at great personal sacrifice expose the deception and criminality of those in the deep state mr president if you grant only one act of clemency during your time in office

please free julian assange those you alone can save his life i'm hoping that he will pardon julian a search it's the right thing to do so far trump has remained deaf to the pleas the julian assange just saga has been going for so long it feels like it could be over any minute but flashing back to how it's been going so far it seems like we've just turned the page on another chapter. well earlier we did discuss the implications of the decision not to extradite a sergeant some of his supporters who gathered outside the court. i wasn't sure what to expect but i'm so happy that he's. been discharged for whatever reason it's fantastic i mean there's so many people who've been campaigning for a loaf a long time against this injustice when he's gone through 1011 years of hell 1st under house arrest then in belmarsh prison for the simple cry of journalism which

isn't a crime he's standing up for freedom of speech he's done nothing but tell the truth he's been treated as a political prisoner at least mental health has suffered an unknown people opposed to him has said that that is the case this this is not just about him personally it's about journalism it's about freedom it's about freedom of speech it's about freedom of the press and all those things are being undermined both in this country by the actions of the people in the united states they're trying to get him to be extradited to the pushing this action here was they were absolutely remarkable to see 95 percent of that judge's remarks were in favor of the u.s. and favor of extradition she threw i have political depend on you throughout the public interest depends only in the last moment for a decision did she say the american prison system is so brutal so pressing it to you would be at risk of suicide if i sent him to be america or america saw him

not going to do it and this is the end of the story the united states are going to appeal this it will go to a higher court so this is just because it is a terrific day what she said about iraqis much more worrying because she said there's no public interest there's no we there's no defense for journalists who don't like proper journalists or you know actually do what most journalists do because mr wilson there's no public interest but these are these were very very bad remarks by which we are delighted delighted that he is soon going to be a theme and again today we are swept away by our joy at the fight. it was for sure be with earth i'm delighted we have seen some humanity at the end of a close earth it doesn't really matter in

a sense however justice has been breached even if it's been breached by a peculiar process that was a sum of genius on his supporters speaking outside the london court today which surely did rule against extraditing julius and to the united states on the basis of his mental health major breaking news this hour will be back with more stories in a few minutes. and i noticed that i have postponed the usual. but you have australian visual there you go. who are. these give me the machine up to the nearest. study to go to pluto introduces the change must. insist was right seems to me.

he could eat a little of it just for this new look like a loser well going to a pretty chilled water is certainly a choice to be on your boat it will show you such did it with a lesser shall not just talk a little girl out of the road to free sure were full attention you. point of soup that beautiful at them. or give. you a good. to put so that the new. black. duran dish to their hair for. gaston jay. gould. b.s.t. when you're in the water with your the locust last we're going to see it in your will i just stuck i don't know to just what does lead to speech of your pride you will know when you are going in the struggle with his. match guys are financial survival guide liquid out that those that you can convert

into caste quite easily. to keep in mind though as a tremendous pleasure to watch guys or board. has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs talk to people who are chronic pain patients and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them in the remedy be certain to. price at the. grocery 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 very night because or long term. the war in syria has lasted longer than world war 2. who

has been suffering the most in this almost undoubtedly long conflict regular syrian people. need is more than the menu my for many years if you want the same. i could see everything with my own eyes and hear the stories of its residents one group in particular russian wives of syrian man the beautiful souls of. the day when you're close to them look up to its international just words. but abundant make no certainly no borders i'm just delighted to nationalities. as americans we caught up with her when we told of the fight scene. cleats to.

judge a. commentary crisis like this system to my time so we can do better we should. everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created with the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. the way of life the reindeer herders leading a traditionally nomadic lifestyle in the tundra is similar to a parallel reality. a. lot of the men drive the hoods women carry the weight of the household look on their shoulders to show them which grab one also lets see man. think this has nothing

however in the vast expanse of russia there is no spark where housewife could secure a regular employment status it's in the final 2 nights to make an issue out of the truth of my kids. she's filled with the. same wrong but i. just don't. get to shape out distinctly comes to educate and gain from it because betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race is on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those with. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.

stuff that's true let me tell you. i think each day for press freedom one man in particular publisher julian saunders a british judge rules against extraditing him to be u.s. citing mental health concerns. meanwhile the u.s. has already announced it will appeal the court decision we speak to some of the song to support his eyes side of the london court. i'm so happy that he's so. good being discharged and for whatever reason it's fun to.
