one owes you will your family anything nor is it the local government's responsibility to support you trying times like this sink or swim it's you. choice the city and county along with power provide any of the service. thing it wasn't exactly what people wanted to hear however with him gone colorado city and the rest of texas are still not doing very well electricity costs are up 10000 percent the major oil refineries of the state has shut down due to freezing weather that bright new future of green energy isn't working out so well in the present the wind turbines that accounted for almost a quarter of texas is energy last year have frozen to a standstill alternative energy sources have been a key aspect of the democrats' push for go friendly policies a key plank of our bill back better recovery plan is building a modern resilient climate infrastructure and clean energy future that will create

faces this was the economic crisis since world war 2 we spoke to people in italy about the situation. ensemble troll boy picture articles are on there we are my situation has worsened due to the pandemic i'm a small cross man who worked in fairs and since everything is now closed due to the curve it i don't know how to go on i have to pay for some medicines but without anyone's help i often can't afford them between eaten in treating myself i choose the former you don't know what you have to pay for 1st between pain the house bills and medicines you don't really know what to prioritize so i decide not to treat myself. i'm also finding it difficult to purchase drugs that always cost a lot i can't buy medicines the price of which is increasing more and more we're now talking about different covert variants they're saying the could be a new lockdown so we don't have a better future to look forward so there is no hope. the new italian government is

a week people don't work and can't even pay for meds since we collect medicines and then we give them to people who can't afford them people can't pay for them so we do what we want we distribute food for children too we are missing many things and we are also struggling with this. in the united states new york governor andrew cuomo is reportedly under investigation for concealing the number of covert deaths in nursing homes apologize look i've said repeatedly we made a mistake when we didn't provide information it allowed press people cynics politicians to fill the void i just want to be sure people know these are the facts these are the facts. everything that could have been done was done. if you desire has lost her mother to covidien

a new york care home and went on to set up the voices for cv is advocacy group which was the phones to call for an investigation every single time he has a press conference he always says it's conspiracy theory or he's blaming someone else but what he doesn't understand is that families are not just our broken we have questions and what he's given so far is insufficient we knew that the numbers were because my mother's a 70 had only 40 people reported dead however almost 10 months later the numbers were changing so we knew that there must have been something wrong the administration revealed that 15000 care home residents had died from 8500 disclosed previously the scandal erupted 2 weeks ago when the new york attorney general accused the quiver of ministration of undercounting missing home kovi death vivian zions again told us about their fight for the truth. my sister

and i were the ones trying to find out really what was going on in my mother's facility we had no idea that this was a statewide nationwide issue so the steps we're taking right now is against the nursing home directly they were the ones in charge of my mom they were the ones who failed to treat her they're the ones who were not prepared for the pandemic they're the ones who. had a duty to my mother and to the other now 69 residents to keep them safe so what we're going to keep going in raising our voices and crying out for a state wide in the penn investigation and a federal investigation into cuomo and his and his administration's. coming up after the break be a tell yourself this sector has been devastated by the pandemic forcing some business owners to open our doors in defiance of coronavirus rule book on this story later in the program.

am. told. when i was told wrong. just don't call. me the all you have to shape out disdain comes to educate and in the game equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. we are now at a point where we cannot manufacture the basic foundational components of the 21st century economy we are literally taking ourselves out of the game by throwing the keys to the economy to private equity groups wall street and

funds financier's and money pressures and now it's too late. on a push to boost its faltering coronavirus vaccination program the european union has signed contracts with mcdonough and finds a full millions of extra job doses his artie's pizza on the phone with the details here in germany the authorities are worried about the spreads over the so-called new pay variant of covert $19.00 it already accounts for 22 percent of cases that have been recorded and the fear is that this much more content ages version of the virus could become the dominant strain for march the 1st all

citizens should be able to be tested free of charge by trained staff with rapid and tests. even self tests should be accessible to everyone once approved these test options can contribute to a safe everyday life especially in schools and daycares and the health minister also wants to see more comptrollers on those coming into germany from high risk areas that the nation has being slow across the e.u. in germany just under 4 percent of the population have had at least one cova job more doses over the vaccine are on order and are expected to arrive soon but there is frustration with the sluggish rollout among the population is and realistic because people still aren't taken khurana seriously enough not to have only decipher the nick of vaccination but. it's not as good as the other ones i

guess and now they want to use death but the people are very skeptical about that after the mecca of vaccinations always get it got to leave it complicated no the a use one for all and all for one vaccine procurement has come in for quite a lot of criticism for being slow to get into gear with senior m.e.p. is not pulling any punches in slamming the process a fiasco i call it and fiasco it is let's look to to the fact well after nearly 2 months the rollout of excise in dramatically low when you were the majority of the nearly 200000000 coffins back science that have already been produced are coming from european factories. nevertheless there is a crucial lack of supply in every european member state france has given out a job to were around 4 percent of its population present on

management and they sell them to the highest bidder they do not fulfill the contracts i think not here in spain it is where week. for the most part the slow rollout in europe has been down to not having enough vaccines to give while infrastructure has been in place to give the injections some countries have had to suspend their inoculation programs because they don't have the required doses all the while the russians sputnik of the vaccine which received blistering reviews and medical journals is still awaiting e.u. approval for use in the block peter all over r.t. berlin. following the defeat of nazi germany in 1945 you'd think that right wing extremism. it would now be limited to the very fringes of society but as artie's redfish project discovered this may not be the case it's documentary premieres on you tube today and you can watch it throughout the day on r.t.
