Hands at their failure to develop an effective vaccine. Other stories Russias Foreign Ministry says the us a big tech of spreading fake news on social media with president putin warning that online giants are no so powerful they threaten democracy. And whats this world taxis could soon be flying over the skies of moscow as the russian tech startup tests its latest innovation a correspondent one for a spin. City traffic is no longer an issue instead of driving along congested highways this taxi should lift you up and take you from a to b. By a year. By the river good morning from moscow this is Arts International with me kevin 0 in 30 minutes of our latest ahead for you 1st britain this becoming the 1st country in europe to pass a 100 deaths now from cove it promised to Boris Johnson offered his condolences. Im sorry to have to tell you the number of death recorded from couvade in the u. K. Has surpassed 100000. And its hard to compute the sorrow contained in that grim statistic 100000 people is 800000 families ok if we think of a family of 5 thats 5 lives that changed forever millions of people and been let down by a simple lack of care in policy i mean that will not the Prime Minister that boasted about shaking hands with people now because this government 1st of ignored the science and 2nd of all did not put in proper inspection measures to close the borders they have and why i asked our population of religion all wister that is how this is going up more than 8 and a half 1000 people have died from covert in the past week in britain. And again here from there has started know the names not Numbers Campaign to try to highlight as what he sees as government negligence in the pandemic and the push for a Public Inquiry into its handling of the response. We need to think this is a criminal inquiry. Lets not sugarcoat it we are experiencing the worst humanitarian atrocity that this island is embassy and its because. Government is being neglectful there is there no matter how much and and most of these lives could have been saved do we need to understand how this happened but this should not be a government led to an inquiry i do not want the criminal to get his own crap because the routes will not be sought number 100000 this is not something that we should take on the chin and accept as a population in the end of the day and the human neglectful and they did not our lives 1st they put the economy 1st which ironically now is not only tax the economy is also less and more deaths that it shouldnt be. The governments no tightening up restrictions as the death toll grows but extended for at least 3 weeks and people cant go out without a quote reasonable excuse or public gatherings and police are getting tougher on those who break the rules too but next as Kate Partridge explains this morning sometimes seems the Rule Breakers are the officers themselves. The coronavirus pandemic has changed just about everyones professional lives and the police are no exception the u. K. Is an armed forces have repeatedly come under the spotlight for trying to do their job which these days include cracking down on illegal gatherings under the lockdown wars these range from raves to birthday parties whitings and even baby showers. Baby showers. Are. Provided a whole of a straight because you will hear so obviously a breaking kobe rolls we can provide every adult here every single one of your to our department is London Metropolitan police chief superintendent stephen time and condemns the party goers and. Warned there would be consequences londons police are almost daily posting videos of officers shutting down illegal gatherings oh oh thank 7 you thank. You i thought the parish is really true i thought why did. They want a theory regarding the sisters very surprised word because theyre going to send chills up there are very very because of their National Office are aware of the you know exam to google to the full circle with all the people the aim is to publicly shame people and prevent others from doing the same except that message doesnt seem to have reached 31 of their own officers caught flouting the law while on duty just to get a haircut if youre eating their superiors and seeing each of fending officers slapped with a 200. 00 pound fine it is deeply disappointing and frustrating of my officers have fallen short of the expectation to uphold covert 1000 regulations i hope this action proves that police are not immune to enforcement of the rules more embarrassingly for the met it happened barely a week after 9 officers were fined after being spotted having breakfast together in a london cafe since march the police have issued 32000. 00 fines across england and wales penalties row shoppy during englands november looking down almost 6500. 00 penalties were handed out as police moved more quickly to enforcement find start at 200 pounds in england and Northern Ireland but the government intends to increase these to 800 pounds for illegal gatherings of more than 15 people but with crackdowns getting tougher Police Federations are calling on the government to ensure that officers are at the forefront of the vaccination rollout the public expects Police Officers to put themselves in harms way and i believe that it is only fair to expect that these same frontline officers get prioritised for vaccination over the last 2 weeks alone 5 london Police Officers have died from corona virus the pandemic has left millions frustrated angry. Yes and impatient months of isolation mean people want to see family and friends and to let their hair down and the police are being left with a very public time ask of not only ensuring everyone elses safety but setting the personal example of how it should be done what i think the Police Across the world are in very difficult situation with with the covert restrictions because its it goes against the grain completely for police to interrupt parties and things but of course those are all the laws in the legislation and Police Officers realize that no pay to do that and i think thats whats happening its its a really weird time this goes against all the all the training all the things that we we over many over a century or so have tried to do which is give people their freedoms but people act within the law but of course these loaches to this legislation has put them in a very difficult position meaning that theyve got to interrupt such things as baby showers and weddings and other things which goes really against the all the things that theyve done over the years i thought only believe that Police Officers should be vaccinated because they are being asked to not only be around lots of individuals themselves so that theyre at their own colleagues they have to be in vans with their colleagues they have to be in the Police Station but theyre also resting people in the street and in peoples houses so they are the forefront of needs to have a Decent Society that they they have the vaccination as early as possible. French politicians are medics have condemned the lashon or failure as they see it to develop a covert job with warnings that it marks a wider decline as a country that was once the global front runner a Vaccine Development shallot event has got that story. France has a little and famous history when it comes to vaccinations i mean after all the socalled father of even your logi is it louis pastor the french microbiologist so its been a base of a blow that the institution that bears his name failed to find a viable vaccine its described its own results as disappointing in these trials involving the 1st administration to humans the vaccine candidate was well tolerated but the immune responses in juiced by the vaccine were inferior to both those observed in individuals who recovered from natural infection and those observed with the vaccines currently authorized for covert 19 the vaccine they were attempting to produce was less effective than no Natural Immunity who hits hard and it seems the french are really feeling it the fear yes indeed it is real because when pastor rick cannot get out a dose of the vaccine that is amazing so i think it is incompetence its everywhere or maybe there are too its a competition between different trades well they didnt find the right immediate solution yes its a shame but its live thats a key test and they will do better you know im not sure after all its more important that everyone in the world has the same objective its true there are concerns about making money on the vaccines and things like that politicians too are crying out with worry that france is losing its standing in the world its a sign of the decline of the country and this decline is an acceptable but this decline is not because france isnt producing world cost scientists know its because of the brain drain so its not acceptable that our best research or the most brilliant of our researchers are sucked up by the american system i was blaming reductions in public funding for Vaccine Research so there is that people in paris think to towards the middle of the crisis they finally woke. They put some resources aside but there is still more that can be done by changing the economy a little especially at ministerial level they could save a little there are probably things that can be done to simplify our system so that there is more fund probably we could remove some administrative players that have accumulated over the years given the money where they will to spend in other areas armament and all that i would be surprised if it was a pond and problem i think its a management issue maybe more than a funding issue meanwhile whats been called france is a last major pharma group sanofi is struggling to bring to the market its vaccine can did it which wont be available before the end of the year for now sanofi is helping rivals pfizer bio tech manufacturing more of their job charlotte even ski r. T. Paris. Russias accuse the u. S.
