this is day to day news live from the u.k. sounds the alarm of the new coronavirus variant prime minister boris johnson says there's now evidence to suggest as well as more contagious the new mutation may also be deadly. also on the program supporters of jailed kremlin critic alexina valmy take to the streets at rallies across russia that's despite police warning tell break up any protests as a 1st of instructions to developing return to russia last weekend. and it was goals galore as gladbach put a dent in dortmund's bundesliga time to hopes in a thrilling battle of the us yes. i'm a backer it is welcome to the program it's the news we were hoping not to hear british prime minister barak johnson says there's now evidence to suggest the new coronavirus variant 1st detected in the u.k. is not only more contagious but more deadly as well i mean tension has now spread to more than 60 countries and britain itself is struggling to bring infections under control. it's a relentless nightmare for health care workers across the u.k. th

over $100000.00 people have died in the u.k. within $28.00 days of a positive test that's more than the entire capacity of london's wembley football stadium. the emergence of a new more transmissible variant of the virus has further deepen the crisis it spread like wildfire across the country and left hospital struggling to cope numbers now harder than any other time we've got a journalist i'm demick so the system is under massive stress we have can stop rationing is cancer treatment we're running she crosses might look after it was proud of our mission is associated with such is this desperate race between new variant and the vaccine shaping the u.k.'s rollout strategy it's opting to leave up to 12 weeks between doses deviating from this 3 week camp trial by pfizer by giving some immunity to the maximum number of people authorities hope to cut fatalities and reduce pressure on the health service. phone. professor rob it reads a member of the independent committee which approved the strategy under normal circumstances you must a

because the u.k. faces the reality of brags that it's also dealing with an escalating coronavirus pandemic surging infection rates of forcing authorities to reactivate emergency hospitals so-called nightingale hospitals that have been largely unused of being prepared for covert patients a new variant of the disease is putting even more pressure on the n.h.s. life out of london to sue us rory chalons can tell us more hospital admission rates for an eye exceeding april's peak in some parts of the country. they are and we've had several days running perhaps not wednesday thursday in the days earlier in the week we have had record numbers of new cases of coronavirus pretty much every day i think one was in excess of 55000 we are having in excess of 980 deaths at the moment so clearly the situation is worsening hospitals are saying that they're operating their i.c.u. use intensive care units more than 100 percent capacity in in london and the in the southeast and there is. an emerging argument i think that

they have a u.k. 1st policy so the 1st doses are supposed to go to the u.k. they also have in that contract apparently a clause that says whatever is produced in the u.k. should be delivered to the u.k. and now the e.u. commission has said and that is why they pushed for this contract to be published today is there is no order of deliveries and there is no hierarchy of factory clause in that contract in other words the e.u. has 3 pate has prefunding and has built up capacities and what the company has now told them within a week suddenly that instead of 18000000 they will only get 31000000 doses so what the e.u. has been saying is and young spawn the german health minister put it really nicely in a nutshell is what they are pushing for is not a europe 1st strategy but a europe fair share strategy that if that global company faces delivery problems wherever they may be and apparently they are invalid they're taking place in belgium the burden has to be shared with all countries that receive those vaccines including the u.k. it's a contractual questions was a p

so it is 2021 and the u.k. has entered a new era outside of the european union britain's 11 month transition period is now over the 2 sides relationship is going forward defined by the recently negotiated trade deal the u.k. officially departed from the blocks rules of 11 pm local time on new year's eve that's london time coronavirus distractions meant brags that supporters couldn't celebrate in public since then trucks have been hauling goods across the border to france sunda new customs rules since midnight it means facing more bureaucracy and potential delays prime minister barak's johnson delivered a message of national unity though at the end of this lengthy divorce which is exposed rifts between the u.k.'s 4 nations. this is an amazing moment for this country we have our freedom in our hands and he is up to us to make the most of it and i think it will be the overwhelming instinct of the people of this country to come together as one united kingdom england scotland wales and northern ireland working toget

correspondent: china accuses the u.k.ng in its internal affairs and in response, it is announced that it will no loer recognize the passports. up to 5.5 million hong kongers have the right to move to the u.k. and they had to make an agonizing choice to stay or to go. laura: from this sunday, people in hong kong can start to make that choice, and they could start to apply for visas that could potentially lead to citizenship in the u.k.. there has been a second night of street protests in poland against a near total ban on abortion. reporter: snow and freezing temperatures could not stop them. 700 protesters chanted freedom, equality, abortion on demand. this is the second consecutive night a protests taking place across poland. on wednesday, the government decided to enforce a constitutional court ruling, meaning that women cannot abort babies. >> all of the weight falls on the doctors which make a very difficult choice. they can lie with the government. they can refuse to abort a patient, and in this case, they will have

but also in the u.k. also in india and that supply chain problems must then affect all those countries that are buying vaccines and europe is the biggest customer and it can't be that it's just europe that is carrying the burden just because the supply chain problem appears to be in a belgian factory but both are strong and the e.u. have said it's states in the contract that they respectively were right and now the redacted version of the contract that you have in front of you still doesn't shed any light on the core issues here why do you think this has all been redacted i think the key problem you get is that you it appears we have a company has been making promises to 2 sites and now it can't keep those promises on one side if it were to be the case that actually it's there's a 1st come 1st serve policy that the u.k. scattered 1st then that should have been marked in that contract if it were to be that vaccines that are produced in u.k. factories should be going to the u.k. 1st then it should be marked

so how are people reacting to the u.k. visa scheme in hong kong are many hung congress likely to go ahead and take advantage of it. well neal down the system should. definitely that you see a house for hong kong as we want to leave the country a little equatorial because self the current political climate which is was standing say by say you know the ground and light according to the specter is. 55 minutes hope that this is as simple for applying for the new scheme to move the u.k. which accounts for over 70 percent of the population in hong kong so those not every of them will. take action to tech to offer. u.k. i asked him asia in the next 5 years over 250000 people will actually text of. emigrating to the united kingdom so what talking about a significant number. bring this because in fact to hong kong is not only the people leaving but also the capital has and the possessions that they would bring with them to the u.k. as leave home called so it's not only the post has activists politicians that are leaving these peopl

the u.k.are not protecting ourselves against any specific country or in competition against any country. the only race we are in is against this virus. reporter: at pfizer's hq and northern belgian, security is tight. few commodities are more precious than covid jabs. that is why they are carefully escorted on their way. it's not clear how supplies to the u.k. will be affected by these restrictions. the eu is taking a tough line in this covid row, but it is facing heavy iticism for the slowness of its vaccination rollout, much slower than the u.k.'s. brussels insists all 27 countries need to work together getting a hold of jabs. so far, it's not working. this is a rare sight in places like madrid. vaccinations have had to be postponed. some hope with the medicine regulator finally approving the astrazeneca vaccine at the heart of the dispute, it will improve. downing street is desperate to stay out of the row, but insist u.k. vaccine supplies will not be affected. >> i will not comment on the

the u.k. one is marked out of the other was actually more dangerous we know from studies that were just it done in germany that even with the original coronavirus the vaccines do not seem to protect from transmission so the virus will happily hop around i would get vaccinated by my son or my wife might get a virus from me if i get exposed to it and that gives the fire stupid tuna to to evolve resist stuff how we do it a lot so if not the petri dishes become the whole planet as you can imagine the risk of that happening so a lot higher and so many of us. are actually saying you know what we really need to start thinking like with thinking exactly a year ago we need to back down the hatches and stop the transmission as fast as possible because otherwise we will have another pandemic inside another pandemic abuts not where we want to be in the next few weeks understood sir guess moscow's ryall are just at north university in newcastle england appreciate your time you are welcome here's a look at

the u.k.'s health system is facing one of its most difficult periods since the beginning of the pandemic national health service bosses so the next few weeks will be critical a more infectious strain of coronaviruses pushing transmission of death rates to record levels emergency hospitals are on standby more people are now in hospital the during the peak of the outbreak in april and some parts of england talked to us on is a frontline urgent care doctor for the case national health service the n.h.s. he joins us now live from london dr good to have you with us once again there are reports that some some critical care units are running at 200 percent of capacity right now is that borne out by what you'll see. i think that sounds about accurate we are all very strong in the n.h.s. whether it's from maine a need to partner up to their wards and i to you we are not sitting capacity we're all working max out yet again very big you never seen these be times like this before not even early on in march

clement: the u.k.the deal access to eu markets, but in many respects, our rules and standards which limits their ability to be fully , and in a way, it is greater in that situation because it will have access to the market, but will not decide on the rules. it is much better and we should demonstrate it to be within the club and able to decide on these rules. maria: there is one area the u.k. did not get a deal and that is the financial services, the passport and eu equivalence. the city of london depends on that and we have seen banks like goldman sachs moving to paris for the same reason. the prime minister says we don't have everything we want, but it doesn't meant we can't get it in the future. do you think that is going to happen, in two or three years time, will the eu grant full equivalence? clement: no, passporting is over. that is a clear-cut consequence of brexit. no passporting anymore and there is no way for passporting when you are out of the eu. it is not in the legal framework. what is p

in the in the medium or long term the u.k. could be hit the u.k. has been widely applauded for their relatively swift vaccine rollout why isn't the u.k. as affected by manufacturing delays as the e.u. a lot effected for now so like i said until mid february they think they are on target the u.k. has has commissioned a large number of what vaccines quite beyond but of course it's also relying for the future. on the production that's being done in the e.u. and for example the fact that the vaccine that there are production problems that that could affect the u.k. as well just altogether the u.k. vaccination program has been quite successful over $4000000.00 people have already been vaccinated in the u.k. and the u.k. hopes that until the end of the summer onto the autumn that the u.k. population will be vaccinated and despite the progress in the united nations the 1st month of 2021 has been a grim one for the u.k. why can't the country get the situation under control but it. yeah it's really a question of really 2 tales when it comes to the u.k. on t

the u.k. government is quite careful of the sea they're treading quite carefully as the vaccination minister said that he is confident that the u.k. will reach its target in the short time the u.k. target is to have the most vulnerable adults vaccinated by mid february and it is believed that the u.k. is on track and that enough doses are already in the u.k. he also said there needs to be some cooperation between countries and that countries need to work together he's careful to avoid a spat with the european union however if the e.u. did go ahead and greedy put some bad on that supports then the u.k. might be hit in the medium tough and again let's talk about this a little bit the e.u. is threatening to tighten restrictions on exports to stem vaccines leaving the block in your opinion is this all just saber rattling or will they actually go through with it but at the moment it's just a suggestion from the commission but member states have already signaled that they like the idea of the transp

so how are people reacting to the u.k. visa scheme in hong kong are many one congress likely to go ahead and take advantage of it. well neal than also since it's definitely the that you see a path for hong kong as we want to leave the country a little equatorial because healthy current political climate which it was and they say by say you know the ground and like according to the bankers. 5 minutes citizens as simple for applying for the new scheme to move to the u.k. which accounts for over 70 percent of the population in hong kong so those not every of them will the u.k. and take action to tech to offer. u.k. asked to make the sign here over 250000 people will actually. emigrate to the united kingdom so what's happening about a significant number go bang bang in this because in fact to hong kong is not only the people leaving but also their capital talents and the possessions that they would bring with them to the u.k. and leave home calls not only the post has this politicians that are leaving these people they may see

the u.k. death toll from covid-19 has surpassed 100,000. it is the fifth country where this has happened. boris johnson spoke earlier. >> is rd to compute the sorrow contained in that grim statistic. the years of life lost, the family gatherings not attended, for so many relatives, e missed chance even to say goodbye. i offer my deepest condolences to everyone who has lost a loved one. ros: the death toll has gone far beyond what was feared when the pandemic began, at the start, the governor's chief scientific advisor said 20,000 deaths would be a soon outcome. the government advisers said they considered 50,000 deaths a worst case scenario. then the u.k. beca the first european country to reach the mark on november 11, over two months later, the tall had doubled. this is the reaction of the opposition labor leader. >> it is a national tragedy. this is a milestone nobody wanted to hit. that number of 100,000 is twice the number we lost in the blitz. it is the size of small towns across the uni

now doctors in the u.k. are warning of a difficult few weeks after a new more infectious strain of corona virus is leading to a record number of cases and deaths emergency hospitals are on standby more people are now in hospital than during the peak of the pandemic in april and some parts of england. as the number of new infections more than doubles the government's vaccination strategy has come under scrutiny the u.k.'s doctors' union is criticised a change in policy which would see the delay in the 2nd jab of the pfizer by own take vaccine the vaccine is most effective when 2 full doses are administered within 21 days of the chief medical officers of england scotland wales and northern ireland are standing by the government's decision to go live to rory chalons in london now so the chief medical officers of the u.k. are standing by the government's decision why is the vaccination program getting such a bad critique from other doctors well i think many doctors are concerned that there isn't the data to back
