will increase in the coming years so not because one the cost will take generations to pay back rory chalons has the latest on the budgets from london. this budget was pretty much about how the government is going to carry on offering the assistance that it has been doing over the last year into the middle part and beyond 2021 then the 2nd part of the next 3 point plan what's is going to happen to try and correct place huge amounts of public debt that the u.k. has got itself into right now basically public debt is now approaching 100 percent of national income and the last time that that was the case was in the early sixty's we were in a contraction of of the economy that the u.k. hasn't seen for 300 years and the government is borrowing more money than it's ever done in peace time before so these situations the regime said can know in june there has to be a correction at some point it has to be returned to normality so he was trying to say that he can do that over the ensuing years and also he was saying he is going to try to restructure the u.k. economy in some way so that this is a crisis

nationwide curfew was again imposed so on monday the number of covert related deaths passed 100000 rory chalons has more on how the italian prime minister delivered the news. regarding the impending new lockdown he basically said sounded apologetic he said that he was aware that this was going to be very hard for many people that it was going to have an effect on the education of children on the mental wellbeing of people around the country and on the economy itself but he said that this is really necessary his words are these measures are necessary to avoid that eerie aeration they would make even more stringent measures inevitable and he went on to say that last spring's events are still fresh in our minds and we'll do everything we can to prevent them happening again of course we know that italy was the 1st western country that was harder hard hit by coronavirus went on to take you know other european countries and the united states particularly badly as well but it's really was where it was felt 1st in europe particularly. researchers in the u.k. say they're developing a new covert 900 vacc

his budget address but his challenge is turning around the country's biggest downturn in century rory chalons reports from london. the funny thing is you think you can in your diet and your throwing up at me have not yet come up once. you finally britain's economy had as much bounce to it as one of 6 peers loaves the baker has gone from bread making in her kitchen to start up on a north london high street right in the midst of the u.k.'s worst economic contraction for 300 years economists give us right now because it is a risk full stop there is no choice but to go ahead and and do and so you may as well put all the effort and all your money into this and make it flowers so you sort of treated us as a much bigger project than it may have been if it hadn't been. she wasn't impressed with state assistance helping new businesses rise the u.k.'s chancellor to prove he can do better. but next priority this past year hasn't been creating new jobs it's been protecting millions of existing ones while covert has locked down much of the economy and in his 2021 budgets he's announced the government will

code response talking to us from paris rory chalons is joining us from a vaccination center in crawley in the u.k. it's interesting isn't it really because france is accusing britain of blackmail over the vaccine deliveries and yet the roll out in the u.k. is actually working relatively world talk us through how things are going. well there going as well as the country has possibly has they they could do it i mean this this vaccination center here just one of the many many thousands i think around the country they have capacity to do 2000 injections here a day they've done 18000 and counting they have got around the country to they've been working their way through the age groups in the vulnerable groups starting with the oldest the most vulnerable and they are now doing the over fifty's of course i think the that there raul that there has been with the e.u. seems to be at least calming down for the moment the e.u. and the u.k. she did joint statement in the last few days saying that they're going to work for a win win situation and i think that means that the u.k. can now concentrate

joking comments but that's not going to go down well in brussels and no absolutely not thank you rory chalons for that update the current situation in europe. brazil meanwhile recording its highest daily number of coronavirus deaths since the beginning of the pandemic more than 3200 people died on tuesday brazil's been reporting the world's highest daily number of fatalities for weeks doctors believe a local variant of the virus is causing a rise in infections and deaths hospitals pushed to breaking point and supplies of medical oxygen are running out as well so in brazil the supreme court has ruled the former president little to silver was not treated fairly in a series of corruption investigations just a 2nd to see it reversed her earlier position to tip the court's 5 judge panel in lula's favor it means the court is likely to throw out evidence in corruption cases against him strengthening his political candidacy for next year's election against the current president. now the international committee of the red cross is colombia's humanitarian situation worsened last year because of violenc

now that's about over to us from paris natasha thank you very much indeed rory chalons is joining us live from a vaccination center in crawley in the u.k. so it looks as though tension growing again between the u.k. and the e.u. but in the meantime the u.k. rollout at least according to the u.k. government appears to be going reasonably well just talk us through what's going on . yeah well certainly i think there is a lot of relief in the u.k. today the the european media for the moment at least doesn't seem to go on for that nuclear option of limiting vaccine exports outside the block in the u.k. government and its ministers have been keen to stress on the breakfast new shows that the u.k. is on track for its vaccination targets rather general a cabinet minister was saying that. they expect that all the over fifty's and vulnerable groups are expected to be have at least one of their jobs by the middle of april and the entire adult population should be vaccinated by july and we've been hearing this vaccination center in crawley watching some of that in progress today it's been a slow

meet on thursday to discuss the proposed plan let's go to our correspondent laurie chalons who is live for us in london rory ears been threatening something along these lines of the most of the week talk us through the details. well essentially what the european commission is trying to do is to make sure that drug makers with planned exports aren't threatening the already limited supply of vaccines to european countries so essentially what the plan is is for on a case by case basis the e.u. to look at exports to particular countries and ask the question what's the situation with covert in that destination country what's the situation with the vaccination rolled out and whether they can get vaccines from other places and the assumption is that if those questions are answered but suppose negatively from the perspective of the european union then they can block exports to those countries they're insisting that this is not about any particular country but of course as you said in your introduction there this does feed into the whole argument that's going on at the moment between the e.u. and the u.k. really ove

chalons in brighton in the u.k. with this peculiar situation i guess rory with the u.k. could almost in their eyes get see themselves being punished for doing so well with their vaccination rollout. yeah i mean the perspective from the u.k. government is the lead the government was just quicker getting their orders in with the vaccine companies astra zeneca pfizer etc and 2nd that they signed better contracts that their contracts or exclusivity contracts where is the european contracts are signed with the drug companies drug companies are a bit looser a bit more woolly so the u.k. government boris johnson is warning the european union against what it says is vaccine nationalism of course is trying to safeguard its own vaccine supply but there are concerns about this proposal that are coming not just from the u.k. they're coming from further afield and they're to do with the actual. general production of these vaccines across the world and looking at raw materials concerns about whether those are still going to start being stockpiled by the drug companies who are concerne
