that's the hope for you know that you'd be better and working hard to make the best tons out holiday period and snow storms on what a smooth rollout means but even once the holidays and when the snow melts if nothing changes and the say it would take almost 10 years to vaccinate enough americans to control the virus gives a whole new meaning to operation warp speed and the mess continues on a local level 2. is it just normal teething 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 the tool

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 stuart of national strategy the trump administration has you know worked against developing a national strategy you know they 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 states are getting around you know $7000000.00 and this is completely inadequate for them the states are overwhelmed already with kovan $1000.00 crisis and just didn't have the capacity to set up you know an infrastructure to vaccinate people and so right now they're scrambling to try to set up sites to give the vaccinations to hear out who should be a pie. they were tired 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. where you're struggling to get his citizens vaccinated with experts branding the rollout sluggish france in particular has been in the firing line his own as he showed it to pinsky with more. france's vaccine has been rolled out and criticized by many is being done 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 altering enough vaccine 1st of all this criticism came from pfizer biotech this is the manufacture of the only vaccine that 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 $160000000.00 doses of now this of course comes in the context as the number of covert 19 infections is said to be rising again 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 until 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 2 hour

difference has a serious effect on revenue it's a time when people come in and try things so as a bakery clients no longer come in. we need 85 percent of our sales revenue between $5.00 and 7 pm so as 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. the threat to the risk to kids to young people is really very very very small boris 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 is on scientists told him that it can get on top of it 19 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 is secluding the ones in london the return of secondary schools is

expected later this month john hall a teacher and 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 are being here for through lots of areas are being which are into it or so if london schools are going to be close 'd from general forth and we expect all schools in tears for to remain closed at the moment it's not up to the good mentor us 2 of 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 has 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 all straws to reopen. it will take at least a week to 2 weeks if all these constants usual stuff can take place and that schools are mean safe while the outcry over schools comes as the u.k. sees a major spike in data corona virus infections following christmas nearly 55000 new cases were reported on sunday the total number of cases a pasta 2600000 but over 75000 deaths john paul again accuses the government of mishandling the pandemic. goodmans are not consulted. the teachers and union representatives that months home made mistakes time and again. not listen to.

them. so on and are still not chain it's been excellent. the government really want us to just be yours what is happening for a while each of the next. profession certainly areas. in house law confidence the troll ligaments in the way that the howling is. in how we are handling the education of students in this group. now over in the united states a new york state lawmaker has proposed a bill that would allow carriers of infectious diseases to be detained if they are deemed to be a danger to the public the draft legislation comes as the state becomes the 4th in the country to record 1000000 coronavirus cases the provisions in the draft bill could be used if the state declares a health emergency over an epidemic it does not however specifically mention

coronavirus the bill would allow the government to unilaterally order an infected person to be detained for up to 60 days a court order authorizing the detention must be obtained within that time and a judicial review must follow after 90 days earlier my colleague collin bray discussed the draft floor with a us based attorney and a pain management expert from washington. we're very much so getting towards the place of a totalitarianism authoritarianism and these are these are just issues that i had i don't think we should trade so lightly when these are questions of freedom these are questions that frankly bring in their constitutional right to not be detained and so these are civil liberty issues look at any other virus or disease that we've had in our plan or in our history look at the aids virus we never quarantine anybody we actually try to normalize to say well this is our one problem and all that we did not put a marker put someone in a in

a camp for an infection we don't even do that with tb which style of communicable or other diseases that are i communicable surely something does have to be done when the public health officials are also up against anti of access and to lock down anti must have people who very well could be carrying the virus and have no idea that they're carrying the virus thing so they've been court you know quarantined or they're tested and so then to say well we've tested you and now that we've tested you we're going to detain you well you're stripping their rights from them without them knowing or having an opportunity to seclude them going quarantine themselves and that's why it's so overreaching they don't talk about deaths now they talk about more and they talk about ace's the case numbers up as physicians we care about mortality and to your point look at all the great things that we have we have there peter it's by how cute sure things while you're in the hospital or before you get there and then we have actually have if you don't potential cures with vaccines 1st your immunity so this seems

a little bit late and it seems very drastic as once we give up our freedom it's very hard to get them back that you simply cannot use stripping the rights of american citizens away as any potential form of leverage when you began to do that you cease to be the united states of america and it's just not who we say we are. ok let's give you a recap of our breaking news this hour because a british judge has ruled against extraditing julian sanj 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 also says that the stand will remain in custody while the u.s. government lodges its appeal now the same time it's also said a decision whether to release that we can lease co-founder on bail will be taken on wednesday stateside the wiki leaks co-founder does face espionage charges for publishing secret military documents he's known to the world for exposing u.s. war crimes u.s.

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 where the worst massive celebrations outside the london courthouse when the judge announced the verdict will bring you more on this story. just after this break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development that only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. and then as planned across the usual. but you have australian version they. were. going with the new.

study did they go to look to. the needs of those but it seems to me. you need to go to church for those new look at a lot of these older to turn you into a political good nature what is there beyond your borders will show you such to be able to. talk a little girl out of the roof through. were full of concern you. point of their beautiful and hear them. we're going. to put so that the new. blood. their ambitions to their share for. gas to. be used when you're in the water with your dogs last listening to you i just stuck. to just what

does lead to speech if you could you will know when you are going in there still usually is. thank you. hello again ok let's recap our breaking news this hour because a u.k. court has rejected the u.s. extradition request for june the songe due to concerns about his mental health he will remain in custody the u.s. government decides whether to appeal the decision it has 2 weeks to do so there were the massive celebrations outside the london courthouse when the judge announced a verdict i think. it's true was it.

was. as long as julian has to endure suffering in isolation as an unconvicted prisoner and on march prison and as long as our children continue to be the rest of their father's love and affection. we cannot celebrate. we will celebrate the day he comes home. a glimpse of hope to start the new year and hopefully a new era. it is a day. with a win for julian the songs. we have for you cautious it is not necessarily

a win for journalism. well to give you some background. now looks at the events that led up to his 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 ask reilley 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 but would argue that it's closer to being a 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 america's poor 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 son ecuador's new president who was looking for warmer relations with the u.s.

seemed 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 his son 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 that it's more your. but we have been calling the state department and the embassy. every day trying to explain something. called back 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 on hoping that he will pardon julian assange 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 the latest chapter is a london court today did reject america's request to extradite the sanj over concerns for his mental health we got reaction from some of his supporters is the announcement was made. i wasn't sure what to expect but i'm so happy that it'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 and in belmarsh prison for the simple crime 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 is 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 in the pushing this action here was the right absolutely remarkable to see 95 percent of the judges remarks were in favor of the us i mean favor of extradition she threw my political because you threw out public interest depends only in the last moment for a decision that she said the american prison system be so brutal so pressing to you would be at risk of suicide if i sent him to be america for america saw and not going to do it now this is the end of the story it will go to a higher court so despite all is just because it is a terrific day what she said about marcus much more worrying because she said there's no public interest there's no we there's no difference for journalists to compete like proper journalists are 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 the way this is a victory and the chains you need to celebrate the full time thing is the final result julian room be extradited according to the decision of the judge. is very who are saying that the only reason the on. the reason why this edition has been stopped. his fragile health condition and the high risk of suicidal journalists around the world should be very very worried about today's outcome is very very warning dots did jaja basically crimi now lies journalistic activities these if only to go case. and. it's not over it's not over yet some of the songes supporters there speaking to a site cite the court which had ruled against extraditing judea songe to the united states on the basis of his mental health. we're going to take

a quick break we'll be back with more on this part of the story to take in a cup and. join me every thursday on the alex simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. the way of life for reindeer herding is leading a traditionally nomadic lifestyle in the tundra is similar to a parallel reality. that the men drive the hoods women carry the weight of the household look on their shoulders to show them which. one also lets see man. think it's nice

however in the vast expanse of russia there is a spot where a housewife could secure a regular employment status it's in the final soon as today. she's. and then as that happens the delusion will. maybe have australian visual they go this route yet there are people. who are. going to dump it on the notion. that it's. strategic to go to political introduces the chief. needs of the bytes instead of me and. you need to go to church for this new look at a lot of things oh well that i don't you know pretty chilled or if there will be

a choice to be on your boat it will show you so much to be able to research on the postal order over out of the roof through with don't be fooled the were full of concern you. point of view that beautiful and hear them mostly or you never. you know would be mean. to put so that the new version of that. what their ambitions are their hair for. gas then jenny it's just. gould. b.s.t. when you're in the water with your the biggest loss we're going to see it in your will address dark blue good doesn't it you just want also like the speech of your pride you will know when you are going in the store usually is. the war in syria has lasted longer than world war 2. who

has been suffering the most there's almost no doubt in a long conflict regular syrian people. need is more than when your wife of 20 years you know of the slain. i could see everything with my own eyes and hear into stories of its residents one group in particular russian wives of syrian man the apostles and. they were close to look up to it seeing as nationalist movements . by the demick no certainly no borders and is blind to nationalities. as a microcosm with currently we don't actually. need to. judge

a. commentary crisis with this system to modern times we can do better and we should. everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis not go on forever the challenge is crying the response has been much so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. yes that's true but i saw.

these days and we couldn't find it using the songs of british judge rules against extraditing him to the united states citing mental health concerns but his current head in chief does point type questions over press freedom still remain. when. we have people. just not necessarily for journalists. well the u.s. has already announced it will appeal the court decision.
