s national health service the n.h.s. he says the new strain of coronaviruses hit hospitals harder than expected. obviously it's having a knock on effect on everything because if the wards are being used for other treatments that ward 'd has to be closed and obviously whatever that what is whether it's a surgical ward 'd will separate kinds of all those things are going to be delayed i mean a consequence of still going ahead and we often find people too but at the end of the day if they're on an intensive care beds then there's only certain number of operations and things that can take place you know viruses do you say so this is always something that was you know we were wrong we were arguing about but it's been changed very quickly very rapidly and it's affecting people a lot more than before so it has hit us faster than we expected our main concern now in the n.h.s. and all the doctors nurses and my colleagues is did it takes missing at the moment you know the ones from generally before christmas so we're really worrie

autumn and then now, and it is really, really admirable, seeing what is going on there and the national health servicevery important phase in this pandemic because we have got to the stage where senior health officials are saying that the peak in terms of new cases may have passed in some parts of the south east of england and london. but you've then got a delayed reaction, as always, in terms of new patients going into hospital and deaths. so we learned from health officials that probably the peakfor the nhs is 7—10 days away — a lot more pressure there on hospitals — but with deaths, it could take even longer. and you have got to 87,000 deaths now in the uk and it's a pretty sobering reminder that the death toll could continue to rise — the daily death toll continue going up.

and second thing is, we've really effectively used our national health service. mobilized across the whole country the national health service to help vaccinate and we started at hospitals but now using primary care. and i think what we've learned, a big lesson we've learned from our dare i say somewhat -- our approach is that you need to decen decentralize. and so i think that helped giving the local regional national health service the tools and the support to roll out vaccination locally. >> interesting. i mean, here there was criticism because it was downloaded to the states and local, you know, municipalities and so on and they wanted a more robust federal response. so we'll see how that works going forward here. listen, thank you so much for your time, professor young, we appreciate it. >> a pleasure, thank you. >>> all right. so for more on what is happening in europe, let's go to melissa bell in paris. melissa, this cissue with astrazeneca, president emmanuel macron piling on. so take us through this latest blow and then we'll switch to the larger issue i

england's health secretrary has given a new warning that the national health service could soon be overwhelmed by the spread of coronavirus. it echoes concerns from england's chief medical officer, who says if hospitals are overwhelmed, this will lead to avoidable deaths. we can all do something to help — stay at home. every time you flex the rules, that could be fatal, and we all have a part to play. the labour leader, sir keir starmer is calling on the uk government to bring back daily briefings, to help reiterate the "stay at home" message to the public. we have had mixed messages, i'm afraid, which is why we have got a problem. i would like to see the prime minister out every day with a press conference, making sure the absolutely getting through, because that is the most crucial thing. it comes as asymptomatic testing in the uk is ramped up and more than 500,000 people over the age of 80 are invited to mass vaccination centres. rescue teams in indonesia have found the black box flight recorders for the boeing passenger plane that crashed into the sea shortly after take—off. 62 people were

let's make it clear, we are not calling for it ahead of national health service workers or vulnerableple, and to some extent, represent the meat industry but i think is a call for the whole food industry of the supply chain to be prioritised and i think what we have seen over the last couple of weeks as, the new strain is particularly more virulent and disrupt with if it gets into particular areas or plants, we are seeing bread more quickly and when you think about it, after keeping the national health service going in the hospital is going on the essential workers, the next most important thing is that everybody can get food, and we don't want to go back to that situation that we had at the beginning of the pandemic of nurses working at night and coming out and finding the shelves empty, so we are calling for this along with a lot of others. do you think thatis lot of others. do you think that is a realistic possibility, that shelves will be empty, no meat on them with yellow if you suddenly have an outbreak in a distribution warehouse, or something like that, yes, it can bring thing

autumn and then now, and it is really, really admirable, seeing what is going on there and the national health service, i think we should all be proud of the national health service for what it's been doing. the uk is at a very, very important phase in this pandemic because we have got to the stage where senior health officials are saying that the peak in terms of new cases may have passed in some parts of the south east of england and london. but you've then got a delayed reaction, as always, in terms of new patients going into hospital and deaths. so we learned from health officials that probably the peakfor the nhs is 7—10 days away — a lot more pressure there on hospitals — but with deaths, it could take even longer. and you have got to 87,000 deaths now in the uk and it's a pretty sobering reminder that the death toll could continue to rise — the daily death toll continue going up. and the path out of this in terms of living with covid which — we in the uk and people around the world will have to adjust to doing perhaps for years to come at some level — how kind of treacherous is that path out? w

to go against it publicly that national health service is so popular that even the reactionaries have had to reconcile themselves to the reality that the national health service is staying in the same way in the united states once we find a way in medicare for all i suspect you'll find some republicans who will defend it just like republicans the united states well defend programs like social security and medicare are national health program for older americans people over 65 you know these are socialized app programs that you would not expect right of center people to support but they have to support it for political reasons i think that. that's that's an important bit of context he's a slippery centrist figure i think you'd be comfortable with and maybe the liberal party of the u.k. maybe extreme right wing have labor maybe some of the more flexible or malleable parts are conservative for our party it really just depends on the year of the decade the moment that's why i keep referring to it has a as a bellwether ok in defense of the tory party i don't think they would ever countenan

the national health service already has on its servers such as underlying conditions demographics. it's a giant goldmine of data that when aggregated and deciphered could help the n.h.s. better direct its resources hold its treatments and save lives the core issues are who gets access to that health data and what will they do with it because this goes beyond mere contact tracing and where people have been it hits much closer to home . those be very clear your medical record is like a fingerprint the sort of title that in each detail about an individual health all events in their life they're all inherently identifying those linked to bent's compete you out from any aggregation of times so the doctor's not and will never truly be anonymous. that raised alarms as did the johnson government's choice of private sector partners to analyze that data. it hired faculty a british firm that worked for the leave side in the bronx at referendum and then there's palin an american data analytics company whose founder is a libertarian donald trump supporter who has said that he does not believe t

be giving a first dose to as many people as we possibly can to reduce the pressure on the national health serviceason that this decision has been made by the licensing authorities. the other consideration, though, and this is the thing that is a concern, i guess, is that if you have partial protection in the population, then there is a greater chance of resista nce there is a greater chance of resistance to vaccines developing, although it is a very short period to sort of worry about, and i suspect that the right decision is to make sure that as many people get the first dose as possible. there are other countries, i am thinking about the us for example, where resista nce about the us for example, where resistance to vaccination is perhaps higher. what do you make of the patchy nature of the global uptake of vaccines? well, i think that this is to do with people's perception of risk. and at the moment, the risk to all of us from catching this virus is quite high and if you're older it is quite high and if you're older it is very high. and you carry a substantial risk of developing bilateral pneu

hospitality sector too soon could lead to another wave and unsustainable pressure on the national health servicelockdown has become the new normal. most classrooms stand idle. shops, pubs and sport centres are locked up. holidays, a distant dream. protecting lives comes at a heavy price, in ruined livelihoods and loneliness. and it seems there's no clear end in sight. i think it's too early to say when we'll be able to lift some of the restrictions. we're seeing the contagiousness of the new variant that we saw arrive just before christmas. there's no doubt it does spread very fast indeed. it's not more deadly but it is much more contagious. every month, imperial college london sends out coronavirus testing kits to 140,000—plus people across england. it picks up those with and without symptoms, and the latest findings are worrying. the swabs were carried out between january the 6th and the 15th. they suggest that one in 63 people in england was infected. and there was no apparent decline in cases during those ten days. now, that's puzzling because if we look at uk—wide positive tests, there was

that is having a devastating impact right now on the national health service in this country. hospitals are simply packed to the brim. some of the sample sizes of these studies that the government is basing its estimates on, they're smaller than they would have liked. so that is leading to a lot of var action. >> if you took somebody in their 60s, the average risk is that for 1,000 people who got infected, roughly 10 would be expected to unfortunately die with the virus. with the new variant, for a thousand people infected, roughly 13 or 14 people might be expected to die. >> so, robin, a similar trend holds true across all age groups, but here is where the evidence weakens significantly. if you look at only the people who get hospitalized with the virus, you are no more likely to die in a hospital if you have the new variant than if you had the original virus. the vaccines will be effective on the new variant and the original virus, which is good news. the uk is rolling out its vaccine faster than any country in europe. the government's own estimates say it won't start to hav

britain's national health service says it's made plans to vaccinate all frontline staff against covert 19 in the next few weeks how realistic is that though. well hundreds of thousands of people are being vaccinated so we know the latest figures are that in the last week over 300000 people were vaccinated so the vaccination program here in the u.k. is seen as a success however when it comes to vaccination of frontline stuff of doctors and nurses there are many critics and they say that the government has not systematically prioritized fraud line stuff that there was an ad hoc approach that was said at the end of last year yes they should come fast but then that was taken back and doctors and nurses have really include the government to put them 1st because if they can go to work if they are sick or they have to be isolating that that is really hindering the whole vaccination after that and and obviously putting enormous strain much more strain on the health service that's already particularly in london we besting say they welcome this new a new approach and hopefully we'll see that thi

you have the national health service essentially saying that if this doesn't slow, if they can't stemsunami of coronavirus patients flooding these hospitals, they will simply reach breaking point. there is one new study from one of the universities here that says that during lockdown in november, that variant was tripled in this population. so that's why you see the government taking these bold strategies, these strategies that, yes, we just heard the health expert question and that divide the medical community. but i think if you ask this government, they'll say this is not the time for small plans. we've got to take all the risks and do everything we can. we're almost at breaking point here. >> got to go big on this. thank you so much, in london, appreciate it. >>> still ahead, how the vaccine rollout is now reaching some of the country's most vulnerable patients, children and adults with autism. especially vulnerable to covid-19 because of pre-existing conditions they have, and because of that they're included in the first wave of people getting vaccinated. cnn's gary tuchman visit
