the n h. s. is labor's proudest achievement in office. as bevin said, when he introduced the national health service act, the n h s would lift the shadow for millions of homes. but this is also a personal crusade for me. my wife works in our local hospital just up the road. my sister is a care worker and my mom was a nurse in the n h s. she took great pride in what she did all of her working life . but she was also, sadly, a long term patient of the natures. i spent a lot of time as a child visiting my mom in hospital. i have never forgotten and i never will forget the care. my mom received her respect with which she was treated. i want that level of care for every one. we all need the security of knowing that the nature is there for us when we need it. that will be what my contract will offer. and i can't stress how badly it's needed. rather than concentrating on getting through the pandemic and bring into our waiting lists. this self indulgent torrie party is having a fight about a leader who they should have no from the start is not fit

i make no apologies that the government did everything in its power to ensure the n h s. and frontline workers did not run out of p p, even though the judge ruled both the offers in question were likely to win contracts anyway. if you went through the high priority lane, you had a one in 10 chance of being successful. those outside of that in a circle had way less than a one in a 100 chance. according to the national audit office, 50 firms benefited 1800 tory links, which the opposition, se screams cronyism. while our hard working n h s staff were going without p, p, tory politicians, saw an opportunity to line their cronies pockets. a judge has now ruled that v i p lane unlawful, but it may be just the tip of the iceberg. well, only where some company is given an unfair advantage. the prices were heights up, in some cases by 200 percent. when the equipment arrived. some of it failed to meet basic medical standards. so did the government treats a public health crisis as an opportunity to both the pockets of pals at the public's expense? this very like crazy. i mean, of co

while our hard working n h s staff were going without p. p. tory politicians, so an opportunity to line their cronies pockets the judge has now ruled that v i p lane unlawful. but that may be just the tip of the iceberg. well, only where some company is given an unfair advantage. the prices were hyped up, in some cases by 200 percent. when the equipment arrived. some of it failed to meet basic medical standards. so did the government treat a public health crisis as an opportunity to impose to the pockets of pals at the public's expense? very like crazy. i mean it, cause you have to do with things quickly there's, there's no reason why having to v i p lane. actually many things could be dealt with more quickly. it just meant certain people got preferential treatment. i think that shows history. god for use of tax has money and disregard to the safety of front line health and cast off. at the beginning of the pandemic demand for p. far outstripped supply to keep up normal procurement rules were relaxed. but all this feeds into the idea that i

brown, because i know you work for the n h s. and so all work is they will be required to take this vaccine. what's your view on that? do you think it's a necessary measure? interesting question. i was recently reading the history of edward jetta and his discovery of vaccination. in the 1st instance, there was very considerable public opposition to the 1st vaccination against smallpox, though there was also a very alacrity take up from other sections of society. so i think persuasion is an important element. i think there's a big difference between this period of the pandemic that we're facing and the initial wave that we suffered in in our country in england. it was in march the soonest, the easter holidays 2020. at that period, it was spreading like wildfire to the population. we had no defense against it. antibody providence was very low and we knew little about the disease, but we didn't know that a certain section of the population would not have a very nasty pneumonia. and we know and seen that the elderly and the frail and

so the impact on the n h. s is pretty significant. absolutely. pizza, the impact specifically of the on the kron barian, which is continuing to spread rapidly throughout the u. k. population hitting the n h s. it has been doing for weeks now. and that's why the military of being called in some military personnel has already started work in london hospitals. the total number being deployed around the capital is $200.00. now 40 of them, a doctors who are going to be helping and a chest stuff actually look off to patients. the remaining 160 don't have medical training, they'll be helping check in patients. for example, they'll be making sure that stocks are maintained in the right place. things like that and administrative tasks as well as logistics. so it's $200.00 total. it's not the 1st time the military had been involved in other parts of the u. k. they've been helping with billing services, helping with the booster program of 3rd vaccination doses as well. which has started to slow down worrying health pulses. now, just a few days ag

no coincidence might be we get this n h s, you turn on the very same day. there's a official report or bit of very redacted one comes up a yeah, absolutely. i think the sort of shifting government policy just before christmas where we had no structure violation. no structure was a seat, a british english seat, bottom act receipt. that was a safe story seat. i've been toying for 100 years tories last it waves around conservative m p 's, who then became a bit more vocal in their opposition to probably restrictions. we were told who came very close to the government introducing look further restrictions on christmas. they didn't do that. there was apparently a cabinet revolt, tory and please, you know, it's 2022. how kevin, we're going to have an election with the next 18 months. so it's probably, and the opinion polls show quite clear the tories are in big, big trouble. because restrictions are on popular, particularly among tory voters and therefore pressure, greater pressure is been exerted on johnson. the basically the deal is ish. unless you list these re

principles of the welfare state. france introduced its social security system. britain founded the n h. s. inspired by this model, democratic u. s. president harry truman proposed a universal national health insurance program. very true and couldn't do it because the american medical association in particular, was very opposed to creating a system like most european countries had. and they began using the term socialized medicine. keep in mind, this was during the early part of the cold war when there was a great fear in this country of communism. in the early 19 sixties. now back in power, the democrats again tried to introduce a european style system. with this plan to met with resistance, a massive publicity campaign was launched to warn the american people of the dangers of socialized medicine. the propaganda paid off and the democrats bill failed to pass. in 1965, they got their revenge. president lyndon b johnson signed into law to public health insurance programs, medicaid for low income families, and people with disabilities and medicare for the over 65 ah, witnessing 1st hand, th

hitting another record high on new year's eve, england's top health officials are boarding that the n h. s is now on a bull footing. you case. not a load of course. and having struggled with the pandemic route 2021. nicky air and next sums up the gears covered challenges around the globe. if 2020 was the year we lost to cove it 2021 with the year life was supposed to get back on track. but as always things on never that simple. after months of locked downs and restrictions 2021. so patients reach boiling points with trust in lead is at an all time low. and people's spinning on to the street in protest. despite officials warning inoculation was vitally important. ah in the u. k. the government's reputation, nose dived as p. and boris jones and flip flopped on guidelines, leaving brits confused and frustrated. where mosques don't wear mosques, how give friends don't hug friends last on your neighbors and cancel your parties as the pm was alleged, to exempt himself from the rules. and a, ah ah ah, there is a meetings of people at work to let this is where i live and so i work are, those are m

on the n h. s, which people can watch. i mean, you believe that the lady counting of a covert positive old people in dk homes 28000 dead. maybe it was that they were killed and that the, i mean we're now here with numbers approaching, i mean it's debated how many people were killed by cove it in this country. but it seems to be more than those killed by the policies of bailing out the city of london after the financial crash. 20 wait for interesting. good. you know, to stay in russia, academics, i professor de dollar oxford. can i talk about the 10s of thousands of people who have died as a result of your security policy and the, the people at amnesty an organization really not given for a much to i think her seriously undermining our status of government or power. i was in, i think, 2020. the 3rd and last year came out with a study where it shows her something like 28100 people, mainly elderly people. sick people had been expelled effectively from the national health service into care homes where they die now. ah, it wasn

and i think including going to the n h s, or although there is a little bit of a fine line about whether or not you can go into work if you have been paying as a doctor or nurse. and, but is there an issue surrounding that, that possibly it's, it's happening to wide spread and it's affecting too many industries. the people who really need treatment to, to be particularly looked out there are being lost in the mass of people being treated for perhaps not being at having the illness at all. well i look, i'm not an expert on this issue about although we all know a little bit more about tough to trace and what, what does it in to think about big pain? but again, you know, you know, a little bit on the side, i would say we really need to have better ways of getting people back to work or delay with some cases. but there's been shortages of that. we just need to be a bit clever in terms of how we get back to work when they get back to work. and i know that there are many instances where people can ready to come back to work symptomatic all they've had called me to recover. they cannot get back

promising to lift cobit restriction to policy, getting a lot of public support, but comes out of the n h s 8 is currently under extreme pressure to see the army kron waive reports of dunning st. shindig. so of course widespread under in the u. k. happening up the height of the 2020 lockdown and people were even far from attending a few of their loved ones that was trust and is the founder of campaign grip names, not numbers. he was unable to pay his last respects to his friend. it happened in its 1st way, so it was the sunday masjid. i didn't get to get that. you know, i stayed in london dressed in my best suit and how about myself. and it's interesting to note on a day that the prime minister was having wine, friday's funeral, there's only about 4 people that yeah, it was very rough. no way. it could've been easy for many people that can the believe you can do it when i try my normal flight concept. the got a hard job so you need for why and his job and he needs to hit the ball with resign . my thoughts are if, if this is the idea of leading by serious the already wrong for thought, the s

and obviously that is going to hit if it happens services like the n h s a national health service and the transport networks like other countries, the u. k has tweaked the isolation rules to mean that people come back to work again soon after they have tested negative from cave it. but yes, the situation at the moment, as you can see, there should be rush out one of london's busiest train stations, but it's not looking very roughly at the moment. isn't looking very russia. how's it looking at schools? the supposed to go back to businesses usual all day and the yep. schools back as well today. and there are some tweaks being made to the rules and regs for people's and staff in the schools, high schools, at least one of the few tweaks that bar johnson has actually made to the system, which he calls plan b, that the u. k is under the name of the co regulations, the other parts of the united kingdom, scott, well, northern, on and etc. have title rules, england alone really in the u. k. c, or a rarity in other parts of europe as well as being very, very light touched. but one of the things

she working element of the n h s and the scope has been very, very over the past years. it's important that we continue that kind of approach as we, as a nation. and a lot of, i mean, i'm hearing stories of people being told to. so we are used. ready by seen rather than find somebody to get to, you know, to give it to someone who's not here or whatever. but it's not we need, we need to trust program staff to, to do the right thing with it. and for sexual stage, for health and social kind of side, you johnny to lay a lot of singular singular emphasis on boosters. boost is boost, as is a smokescreen. the important way of managing case numbers will be as follows. it is multi layer. it has to be multi layered, so you have to immunize people who have not yet been immunized. you have to give the boosters to the wonderful people. and furthermore, you have to also address other issues. the other issues are equally important. the other issues being where your mouth very properly, where you can crowd to places where you don't buses, students trains, and crowded supermarkets. furth

this week, it policy would have required the employees in the state on n, h s. i'm social care workers as well to be fully vaccinated by full of 1st. it means that they receive the 1st shot very quickly, so that's going to day pretty quick to keep posted on it. the next trouble of foot in molly and france, the french ambassador tamale, has been given 72 hours to quit the country as relations between paris and the african nation. to tear a further covering that this monday night. charlotte, who been escape 72 hours to vacate the country. that is the message to francis ambassador from the marlin authorities. this marking a severe escalation intentions now between paris and per marco. basically what we know is that the molly and authorities are outraged by what they say have been comments coming from french government officials over the last few weeks, which they say are outrageous. more to those comments where we have heard from the french foreign minister. this is new to peon, who basically said that the rule in june to in molly was out of control. and we also he

but comes as the n h s says. it's currently under extreme pressure due to the mac on wave reports of downing street shindig, have caused widespread anger in the u. k. happening at the height of the 2020 locked down when people were even barred from attending funerals of their loved ones. on that ladder point. ellis tustin created the campaign group names, not numbers. he found it after being unable to pay last respects to his grandfather that happened in its way. so it was the sun masjid. i didn't get to get that, you know, i stayed in london my best suit and how soon are by myself. interesting to note on a day that the prime minister was having wine fridays ago. the feudal, there's only about 4 people that yeah, it was very rough. no. no way. it could've been easy for many people. it could've been easy. can you? it easy. waiting on one side to strive to normal like this concept, the hard jobs. so you need to why and his job and he needs to hit the ball at the end of the day resign. my got me if, if this is the i

k. population hitting the n h s. it has been doing for weeks now. and that's why the military of being called in some military personnel has already started work in london hospitals. the total number being deployed around the capital is $200.00. now 40 of them, a doctors who are going to be helping and a chest stuff actually look up to patients. the remaining 160 don't have medical training, they'll be helping check in patients. for example, they'll be making sure that stocks are maintained in the right place. things like that and administrative tasks as well as logistics. so it's $200.00 total. it's not the 1st time the military had been involved in other parts of the u. k. they've been helping with billing services, helping with the boost to program a 3rd vaccination doses as well, which has started to slow down worrying health pulses. now, just a few days ago, earlier this week, prime minister bars johnson said that he hoped that britain could ride out this wave of the micron varying without bringing in more restrictions. he did admit that for a

the n h. s. medics warned vaccine mandate is the last straw. and a pandemic marked by chronic under funding and under staffing of the service. with health chiefs noting that the firings will further hurt an already depleted workforce, dr. ahmed malik, who has signed a declaration opposing mandatory vaccination, says that forcing jobs could be a violation of medical ethics. the concept of mandatory vaccination really knocking down the cornerstone of medical antics that we've enjoyed for century wanted the tanami freedom of choice, a tremendous amount and stress. i'm just getting inundated messages from health care workers from the whole spectrum of doctors, nurses, audiologist, feeling for their livelihoods and their careers because they're being made to, you know, forced to have a job or choose, you know, being sacked is frankly ridiculous. i feel the wind is behind our sales, and i think, you know, we're going to turn this around. i think the public can see for the nonsense. ah, the american federation of teachers has teamed up with self style

asking the government to rethink its announcement that old people with public facing jobs in the n h. s. have to have at least their 1st vaccination by early february or risk losing their job. they are saying that that is just going to exacerbate the starting problem drive more people out of the sector at a time when they can't afford to do so. ok, that's deem barbara bring us up to date with the situation from london. thank you. and a team, let's get a sense of the situation in germany and i don't, it came reports from berlin. the new measures and i just on friday really concentrates on trying to reduce contact among people because of the on the con, variance and also then looking at the quarantine measures, people go got forced into and then the new regulations which will govern who can go to balls, restaurants and other public places and who cannot. so we know that the, the meeting between ministers of the federal states and on the federal government has agreed that those who have a booster vaccine have had a booster vaccine more now no longer have to present a negative test as well
