In moscow you watching all the international with me. Wherever you are welcome to the program. Cases in germany seeing hospitals in the country stretched to the limit the number of patients in intensive care is up 40 percent compared to the spring to all of the latest. German hopes for a loosening of coded restrictions over the Christmas Period look in doubt as cases of the virus remain high across the country on sunday the states. Became the final region to be categorized as an at risk area meaning the whole country is now in the highest risk level according to the scale used by germanys Public Health authority the Robot Institute in the south the state of bavaria declared a continuation of a state of emergency is blocked by the fact remains that the numbers is simply too high the figures must come down to the Health System because its already a threat its not just the number of people who have coronavirus which is causing problems its also the intensity of the illness in those that have it which means many more are requiring intensive treatment those ending up in i. C. U. Of risen 40 percent from the spring during the 1st wave of the virus. In states like saxony the number of patients in intensive care is 5 times higher than it was in april hospitals either reaching their capacity limits or have already exceeded the the lockdown measures that were brought in at the start of november havent worked in lowering the number of infections to where authorities would have wanted them coupled with problems with Contact Tracing this person German Health care the real strain is interesting as we can see that the Health Authorities are increasingly exhausted for example they are no longer able to determine from where people have contracted the virus we see more and more outbreaks in older peoples homes and Nursing Homes is becoming increasingly difficult to keep the virus out of these institutions and to protect the people there local government officials here in the german capital fear the restrictions in place of not being enough to combat the spread yes of. The 1st wave was a childrens poncy compared to what we have mal we have a very high case numbers many people affected and we didnt have at the start we had the pandemic well under control and now we have significant difficulties in bringing the numbers down. While politicians from the local right through to the federal level here in germany a concern that the current covert measures arent enough to stop the spread of the virus were also seeing protests against those very same measures by covert skeptics conspiracy theorists and those concerned that anti coronavirus measures will see them lose their jobs. I. Did not. Know. Despite those protests it seems more likely that the federal government would introduce tougher coronavirus measures across the whole country than there being any type of festive reprieve to the measures all. Already in place peter all over r t early in the United States grim records are being set americas just registered the single highest daily coronavirus death toll globally this year an average of 2000 people are dying from the virus there every 24 hours while almost 1500000 people infected in just the past week despite the dire situation though washington still cant agree on an aid package to support those most in need of cheering the pandemic proposal includes around 900000000000. 00 in funding to help businesses in particular Restaurants Hotels and airlines and also to support the unemployed meanwhile house and Senate Negotiators have reached an agreement on a final version of the National Defense authorization act according to which the pens are going to receive more than 700000000000. 00 in 2021 and uses likely to further fuel anger over the lack of agreement on the covert relief bill to get the f. As the details. The United States is hurting worse than anyone else by coover it its been a disaster by any metric lost lives lost jobs lost opportunity now is the time to help the American People at least hypothetically quote from mcconnell yesterday he said were both interested in getting an outcome now that seems like bland talk but in washington speak with the means were actually talking see for you all for me couvade relief might mean money for food to pay rent for medicine a few 100. 00 might make all the difference so how would you feel knowing that those same politicians that card agree for months on end whether to finally give the shrugging family a few 100 dollars wall less that those same people gave the pentagon a 1000000000 in kuwait relief money to quote prepare for and respond to the crew of ours so what are the pentagon do by mosques by gloves babson anti sceptic. Pentagon used tanks spend money meant for mosques and swabs to make jet engine parts and body armor and people are wondering where the heck the trillions of dollars it could relieve just for a 2nd thats 12 zeroes where that covert money has gone ok so if issues are now calling for the pentagon to be investigated for such brazen misuse of money desperately needed elsewhere what about the rest turns out theres a 1000000 other dubious ways to spend qubit relief money are you tired of white supremacy. Welcome to the club called 100. 00 burn it down resources for the revolution snack block and a parent group that helped organize b. L. M. Protests a group that supports and enables the rights of writers that have shaken america qualified for 145000. 00 in covert relief parity the group which has no web page and only recently started a twitter account is vital to the Community Systemic racism is a blight on civilization but this is conveyed relief money right see this is something the pentagon doesnt get either this is money for the desperate for losing pain because of the virus lot money for jet engine parts or stirring up riots and these problem goes right to the top where a company that belongs to a congresswomans husband the company which had a great year raking in millions and consulting fees can then claim half a 1000000. 00 in extra pandemic relief money its amazing how well socialism works for the few dont you feel powerless when you read stories like this one i sure do along with angry. Now thats keeping it in the family while omars husbands firm get half of all her Campaign Spending they also got a check of taxpayer provided relief people have lost jobs and homes in the morris husband gives half a 1000000. 00 and go with relief funds when will the voters in minnesota do something about her costs the congresswoman denies any wrongdoing as is tradition what can you do while you can if north all the incompetence in the corruption hoop that a few 100 bucks trickle down your way to pay off for the angry landlord to keep your throat while you search for a new job that might still exist you and millions more just dont expect too much help from above theyre busy doing what they always do arguing with each other with all the challenges america has right now we think over everything should be on the floor but instead the democrats put cats and cannabis this week theyll say such Pretty Things i have tears in their eyes as they profess to care about your situation and then off all the fear radical help in the world billions trillions in relief that Many Americans will never see but hey pentagon just scored the sweetest new dress uniforms why cant you just be happy for them it is a kind of naive to expect that even in an extreme situation that we are in now with a combination of the cold did a crisis the Health Crisis and the crash of our capitalist Economic System the dominance of large corporations and the dominance of the wealthy is not going to be operating in the Relief Program and that is what is happening in the Paycheck Protection Program 523000000000. 00 a lot of money was supposed to go to medium and Small Businesses. It now appears from a report of the Small Business administration in washington that the richest one percent of companies over 25 percent of all that money that was not the engine that was not the purpose but that is the way the Society Works and it includes doing that with relief efforts by the government and california people are crying foul over the governors choice to spend 80000000. 00 on billboards carrying messages about covert critics say the money would have been better spent supporting local businesses well as americans wait for congress to agree the new relief package we got reaction on the streets of new york. And i know were talking about it right now and get a little bit more progress on a 2nd relief but its still a Long Time Coming i think its going to get stalled no matter what i think both sides dont really actually care its really politically charged thats probably why it strategically to intel i deprecate its very unfortunate that the same time i realize theres kind of hurdles that you have to overcome in order to actually get it passed. I know that chunk of it goes to the military and paying politicians to systems are already set up i kind of i mean for a little bit easier for probably money and approvals to go through and in those situations they are prepared for any of this they might have more a. They might help them out more to give money to. The military than to help the people that are essentially for this is america. I mean its theres a theres people that theres a way to take advantage. If you find 5. 00 on the ground even go give it to the store that you find out front of i dont i dont think so i have a small biz myself actually i know for a fact that people are taking advantage of it individuals as well as this is dont actually need a larger corporations even though theres been a lot of people giving money back which is good i guess its a step in the right direction but i guess you call it fraud right i think it would be nice to be able to feel that the communities are supported by the tax dollars that are being paid by those communities so that it. Filtering to the people who are the loudest and have the most people out there reach a kind of arguing for them. U. S. President elect joe biden has chosen a retired general as his defense secretary if approved by the senate 67 year old lloyd austin will become the 1st africanamerican to lead the pentagon. I chose lloyd austin as my nominee for secretary of defense because he will do whatever it takes to defend the American People when the Islamic State emerged as a terrorist threat in iraq and syria president obama and i tell him to austin who then lead Us Central Command he designed and executed a campaign that ultimately beat back isis onload austin served under the Obama Administration leading the u. S. Central command he was the main military architect of the u. S. Led offensive against the Islamic State in syria and iraq he was also the wanted kindly admitted the failure of a 500000000. 00 Training Program in syria can 2015 it was shut down after producing some 5 trained fighters instead of the several 1000 which had been planned can you tell us what the total number of trained fighters remains its a small number and. The ones that are in the fight. Is is were talking 445 so is that still the goal to have about 12000. 00 of them there is that still the goal whats the expectation then for them at the pace were gone we wont reach the goal that we had initially establish yourself but but but the the overall goal is to make sure that we have enough mass to be able to get work done on the ground meanwhile a potential stumbling block for austin lloyds candidacy is the fact you were tied to 4 years ago u. S. Law makes states that officer must have left the service at least 7 years before becoming secretary of defense Senior Research fellow at the Global PolicyInstitute George somewhere he thinks exception will be made to the rules. General mattis. Became drawn to the defense secretary also had to overcome this hurdle and he overcame it without too much difficulty of course there was senators of the time was that this is just a one off were not going to do this again you know we really mean it this time but we dont have to take this very seriously so having said all that about matters they dont like it its on around and. Make difficulties or often particularly as they would be honest about it i mean he is all so would be the 1st black man who is the head of the pentagon so i dont think anyone would want with any hurdles in the way. Its been dubbed v. Day holding the start of the u. K. s mass Code Vaccination Program just polls suggest many brits still have safety concerns over the new job has more details from london. Well of course the United Kingdom is one of the countries which is essentially been one of the fust to roll out this Vaccine Program to give approval to the. Fact see that its not without its concerns but markets have reacted positively the government say that this is something that could get life back to close to normal as possible the Health Secretary hancock describing today that they would. Not vaccine starts to be rolled out and up to 50 socalled vaccine hubs across the country including gods and thomass hospital here behind me describing this day she said its the day the day of victory tomorrow is the day when we roll out the Coronavirus Vaccine across the whole of the u. K. And its the beginning of the end of this pandemic but it isnt without some hesitations amongst members of the public that has been appalled by the Polling Company opinion trying to get peoples perspectives on the back seat and it shows that around 35 percent most would have a good of the public say that its unlikely but they see themselves taking this vaccine almost 50 percent 48 percent worry about the fact she wont be safe and 47 percent say they worry that it simply wont work now we went onto the streets of london to ask members of the public how they felt about the rollout of this fact see whether they themselves would be willing to take it. There not to see you still havent seen it i trust him i would take it if it comes to speak to me and i think the misapprehension point he simply played and i think what it would be all right if it was 0. 15 and i dont trust it to be honest i dont know how hard it can. Generate fast a lot of pushback against some of the measures in this country to deal with the crisis including protests in the middle of the city. Against what those protesters say. Tarion dystopian measures would lock down the law. One of the other main concerns that weve been seeing from people here in the United Kingdom you could say around the world is the impact on Civil Liberties of been much touted Health Passports for people to be given in order to Access Services to be able to go on flights and so on and also feel has to do with vaccines being made mandatory but the World Health Organization has actually advised against making vaccines mandatory across the world i dont think that mandates other direction to go in here especially for these vaccines it is a much better position to actually encourage and facilitate the vaccination without those kinds of requirements there are also concerns of some of the logistical problems to do with the rollout of the back seat but pfizer the company producing them may not be able to provide enough to communicate as many as they have hope and also this particular vaccine has to be stored at minus 70 degrees that its thought that there arent enough facilities there isnt enough of the necessary types of freezers and other logistical acquit needed to try to store these vaccines stay safely and to transport them so a many questions need to be answered by the government that they feel confident that they can successfully rollout the track see that at least to those who want to know all or all the facts of vaccines points to a Brighter Future is on the front line want to make sure lessons a lot from the mistakes of the past we had for british Doctors Union which claims a lack of protective equipment led to avoidable deaths. We think the government kicking the can down the road basically we already had the 1st wave of caveats there is no doubt about the fact that there was a problem with securing and ensuring that p. P. Got the frontline we know because the Doctors Association were right at the frontline of actually listening to frontline doctors who were telling us that i had daily reports of doctors telling me that they were having to go to screwfix to get thing basic things like masks we worry that the government is conveniently forgetting course lots of this what we need is to learn those lessons and the only way you can actually learn those lessons is pipe truck judge led inquiry according to one report between april and october more than a 100 staff including those working in the care sector lost their lives simply doing their jobs and with International Claims more than 600 Health Workers died during the pandemic in the u. K. Thats the 3rd highest reported figure globally the British Government said to face intense competition to make sure the Health Service got what it needed what it needed dr jerry avorn know disagrees. Why is it that the National Audit office have come out and said there needs there needs to be comprehensive Lessons Learned there needs to be is proper exercise as to where that p. P. That was promised did actually reach the frontline theyve had a long careful look at and theyve produced a report and i can tell you that i was giving a lot of interviews and as was you know much of da u. K. We were listening to frontline doctors all of us were working hard and we were reporting these issues we have clearly data to support that it wasnt getting to the front line so this is again something that really worries me about the kind of memory problems the judgment might decide to have later on it was not the case that p. P. A. Was officially gets in line so you know this needs to be taken very seriously and the way the government does that is it commits to a timely judgment inquiry a serious possible and thats why the doctors the cat sociate and together with the good lord. Goodwill projects and our class are taking the government to court and it is the right decision washington is actively attempting to prevent iran from buying any Coronavirus Vaccines thats according to the chief of Irans Central Bank over 1000 vaccines have to be purchased through the official channels of the World Health Organization but all Payment Methods have been blocked by the inhumane embargo of the Us Government and more than 50000 the rain ians of diets are in the pandemic with more than a 1000000 confirmed infections infections its the worst hit country in the middle east with a troubled ministration has imposed restrictions on the countrys Financial System as part of its maximum Pressure Campaign the targets are weighing in individuals and banks as well as foreign entities working with Irans Central Bank transactions for medical supplies can be exempt but they need the approval of the u. S. Treasury we heard from iran based political scientist who says the sanctions will hit the iranian people the hardest. The sanctions are primarily in a financial and trade in need but the basically i think all aspects of the rain and economy have serious people effects on their hot sake the u. S. Is doing whatever they can to undermine irans ability to pool cue the necessity medical devices and in this case vaccines that are on the rise and. Case in point is prey sharing. Government osogbo we are not to unfreeze billions of dollars of the ring and acid that iran meets you know the to purchase. You know meanings of doses of vaccine by causing all of these restrictions if you will so im creating the global war to combat this disease so if u. S. Is not it will be declining in has and i mean money and constant worry iran it will not take such drastic actions that directly make their wellbeing i means of iranians as a culture war between the left and the right its nothing more than a distraction tactic Award Winning journalist and author joins the host to discuss and see when i will return and how far out to bring that i just news updates join us again that.
