They are unanimous things will be far better by the spring the new rules will initially be enforced in england and similar measures are being introduced in other parts of the u. K. Has more. In the wake of the number of rising cases across the whole of the United Kingdom when it comes to coated 19 the government have sprung back into action announcing a number of measures and in all of this in response really to those rising numbers with Government ExpertsHealth Experts and scientific advisors all warning that the prospect of a 2nd wave is very real and that all of these measures are absolutely necessary now some of these measures include workers working from home unless they have no ability to do so they also include the wearing of mosques being made mandatory to start off working in shops in restaurants people in taxis and also finds increasing to 200 pounds up from 100 pounds if people refuse to wear a mosque in certain situations and also from thursday parts restaurants and other Hospitality Industry outlets having to close at 10 pm that spocks quite some ridicule all of this very confusing for Small Business owners and members of the public can criticism also coming from m. P. s in the house of commons including the leader of the opposition kids standage says the government must do a better job but how it communicates to the public although we fierce criticism of the way the government is handling this pandemic when restrictions are negated the National Interest lies in Clear Communications and cross Party Support mr speaker farmers across the country will be anxious today many are already living on the local lock down many more fair that soon they will theyre worried about their jobs about their loved ones of whether they will be able to spend christmas with their family so will the government now apologized for his governments gross incompetence over testing over tracing over Clear Communications have led to these latest restrictions on people of the lies he says hes going to put his arms around her what the 4th. Many millions of the selfemployed have not felt the benefits of that embrace a Prime Minister do not to workers on the scrapheap through no fault of their own now those frustrations the thought that all of this could last 6 months worries about peoples jobs and peoples own Civil Liberties has led to tensions spilling over on the weekend we saw the protests in Central London with thousands of people mainly gathering peacefully to protest against the lockdown measures but towards the end of the evening as the metropolitan police in london announced they would be clearing Trafalgar Square a number of caches kicked off between some protesters and police i. Guess. You did to. Now with the coded cases rising once more the total amount of cases in the United Kingdom reaching almost 400000 people now walk anyway because there have been criticisms of how the government has failed with regard to its testing regime there have been over 40000 deaths which have been attributed to coded 98 and the government really saying that as a result of these measures they appreciate workers will be hit the government saying that they will support them where they cant but we already had an idea this year so not because of the saying that schemes such as the follow scheme but the Government Supports and supplements peoples wages that it will be coming to an end at some point and so over the next 6 months if that is how long all of these measures last it could be really difficult for people both socially mentally psychologically but also economically. Well as you said mentioned there the new restrictions for england include a 10 pm closing time for bars and restaurants and that seemingly arbitrary deadline has drawn a fair bit of ridicule online these are just a few of the memes going numb around right now a bar owner we spoke to thinks the government will need to ensure businesses do not fold due to the new rules. Businesses that they want to see get through this represents something to their communities you know were well stocked its providing jobs for lots of people 80 percent of our trade by the most is that i did not actually happens oftentimes so its quite a significant chunk that were taking out of. Revenue stream im going to need more support to start if i dont want to see mustard on that im certainly going to need support on rent because we havent you know its the last 6 months weve got another month juice tomorrow and then god knows whats going to happen for the next 6 months everyone in this country whos in a sort of relatively unaffected age bracket young people from 18 out 404550 theyre just going to go home and continue the policy that we put so many measures in place and spent a fortune on making all of our license venues code its surely the most sensible place to have people consuming drinks and keeping safe keeping socially distance is within these promises britain is not alone in being on the brink of a 2nd coronavirus wave european nations including france and spain have seen a dramatic spike in gatess and the health risks along with the ongoing restrictions appear to be disproportionately affecting the poor as arties charlie dubinsky reports. Coverage 19 pandemic has highlighted many problems from inadequate medical resources to a lack of trust in governments around the world but perhaps the starkest issue that its exposed is how different it is to experience a pandemic if you are poor compared to those with money. Thank you thank you thank you thank you you. People impossible dream face a new restrictions all movement there has been an uproar over what some and labeling has segregation this is an example of government defense fear of people confined in poor neighborhoods all the districts can continue to enjoy their kids. The president of the community of madrid treats this area like a ghetto the virus is here but why does that mean the workers need to be locked up its even claimed in the evening at the oprah highlighted the disparity in how people in the cheapest seats were treated they were in the well of those in the more expensive seats below had adequate social distancing measures in place. Social inequality has also been a topic for protestors in. While in the u. K. The editor of the. Medical journal the lancet lambasted what he described as being the true scale of social pathology underlying National Crisis the gruner virus pandemic has exposed the reality of contemporary britain the countries defined by poverty insecurity and inequality science cannot guide the government in formulating this strategy a plan for britains future must be guided instead of values and the Lessons Learned from the human consequences of this pandemic there has also been concern raised about for minority ethnic backgrounds who make up a 3rd of patients in the intensive care units we are continuing to see black asian and minority ethnic people suffering disproportionately in terms of intensive kid missions so not acting means that were not protecting the vulnerable Communities Action was needed back in july and its certainly needed now more than ever i think minorities so also for east issues here in france statistics from the governments own agency reveal that the disproportionate impact of early on in the pandemic thats shot up by a 134 percent amongst north african immigrants it was up 219 percent for those who were born elsewhere in africa and its not just plain europe that there are problems across the globe its estimated the pandemic will have far reaching consequences with inequalities whitening an estimated 71000000. 00 additional people will be living in extreme poverty due to covet 19 sudden asia in Subsaharan Africa are expected to see the largest increases in extreme poverty would an additional 32000000 and 26000000 people respectively live in the Large International poverty line as a result of the pandemic the European Commission has pledged to aid to poor countries with a vaccine when one is approved for use the commission president. Has said that this. Its about ensuring its commitment to quit to black cess to the worlds poorest and most Vulnerable People but many People Living in europe particularly they see this place to the poverty line maybe questioning where that help is then right now how are they expecting people to respond to this all over its not just europe its all over the world people are being asked to make sacrifices if people saw beneficial results for the wards coming out of the sacrifices in terms of a drop in the infection rate or an improvement in their general life circumstances then they probably would be compliant or more complied but at the moment absolutely nothing and it seems to be getting worse by the day this is hitting all populations disproportionately the poorer and particularly ethnic minorities of being hit hardest the magic bullet of course that were all after is a vaccine the acid test will be who gets the vaccine quickest is it evenly distributed the people there are worst affected should be the people who get the vaccine 1st Russian Health ministry has approved the testing of another Coronavirus VaccineClinical Trials will begin soon in cities across the country involving around 3000. 00 volunteers this comes a month after russia registered its 1st covert vaccine sputnik kevin owen heard more about the new trials from correspondent. Its brand new vaccine has no name yet but we know how it works it is a socalled inactivated corona virus vaccine meaning it contains the deadly virus in it but it has been weakened or even killed depending so that it cannot infect cells or replicate but still is capable of setting off and needed response from the immune system of the body so its quite a tricky thing the trials are indeed about to start very soon in 3 russian cities 3000 volunteers are expected to take part after the injection they will be isolated for 16 days this what the particle requires under a close supervision of scientists and doctors and we expect to hear the 1st results by the end of the bamber and this is russias 3rd corona virus vaccine entering human trials another one is vector we expect its registration within the next month but the we know of this race so far he and russia ease of course the drug known as sputnik the it is the adenovirus based viral vector vaccine meaning it has no deadly virus a need and among those who are thankful to is russia is the had all for the World Health Organizations you were a pain office lets take a listen to move the music is dated a pretty good for being divided over 49 the 1st seems to be pushing for a letter written for the 4th graders to the kind of thing. I have to say that aids quite divided worlds Scientific Community and those who think russia for its research i dont those who are worried about aids and are concerned about the speed of its development and doubt its effectiveness just earlier this month around 40 experts signed an open letter expressing their concerns and expressing that attitude to. Wardes this russian facts say mr clue is in the russian capital now this is in moscow Telemedicine Center that you can see behind me are the chance to talk to him and to discuss this twitter says my question of course is the russian but it seems now were talking about the teams around 3 of them right now what do you think about them and why there are so much skepticism right now the Russian Federation has objectively a long history of books in Development Manufacturing and also a take there is no reason that they see to be skeptical but of course like for any over concrete. There are certain criteria that the gratuitous part to you one of the early volunteer. Came forward to say that yeah you try this sport the question is what happened you know were the only contra indications are you feeling alright go with them i got the injection on saturday or maybe kava it was a placebo because this is a socalled double blind trial when neither participant or doctors know who ease receiving what kind of drug is it a Drug Overdose even no one knows and actually i dont know whether ill have the answer to this question at all and this is the idea of these trials so i got it on saturday whatever it was and in the next day i felt why bad to be honest as if i was some kind of virus was starting so i got muscles pain i got some headache it was very hard for me to like concentrate in terms of vision but it faded away like next day so it just lasted around like 16 hours but i was again under the supervision of doctors like millions of them called me during the day asking i mean about my feelings about my health so i hear the and people praise me for take. In part in this trial im one of the around 40000 to participate actually in phase 3 of the Clinical Trials and it could be but i dont quite agree that the reason like bravery or hair reason behind these moves because i entered the trial after phase 1. 00 and 2. 00 were complete and the goal of the 1st 2 stages is to prove that the vaccine or the drug is saved so i dont put myself into any danger but the Research Chance that i mean after this injection if it was not to placebo my body can produce antibodies and i can be able to resist corona virus so and this is what i persisted pated in this trial for for this chance to be able to resist this corona virus that is i mean put in the world in such a mass for the last 8 months. World leaders have addressed in the United Nations in the General Assembly 1st ever virtual session day one saki video speeches including from donald trump xi jinping invite him or putin in new york heres our 2 came up. The russian president gave a message to the un General Assembly that was a message of peace he called for a mill lobel fight against the corona virus and he talked about how at this point russia is offering its vaccine free of charge to all u. N. Staff as a measure to help the global efforts against the pandemic now when speaking the russian president emphasized the need for cooperation internationally and he talked about the importance of the veto out of the Un Security Council to ensuring a balance of power in the Global Community and this veto power should be preserved furthermore he talked about illegal sanctions and how they are impeding the fight against coded 19 this is the president of russia. I would like to draw attention once again to russias proposal to create socalled green color to lose free from trade was an sunshines primarily for essential goods needed to fight the. In general freeing the world trade from power is bones restrictions and illegitimate son actions would be of great very long civilizing Global Growth under which you sing unemployment now these words were largely seen as being directed at washington for its newly imposed sanctions issued against the Islamic Republic of iran despite their full compliance with the nuclear deal now in his remarks putin also emphasized the need to preserve the strategic arms reduction treaty an important treaty between the United States and russia is set to expire in february its important to remember because the pandemic theyre not actually gathering in new york city the key heads of state are giving their addresses in pretaped messages that are being shown before the u.
