thanks to all of you who called and to england's deputy chief medical officer, jonathan van—tam. i hope that was an informative question and answer session for you with professorjonathan question and answer session for you with professor jonathan van—tam, question and answer session for you with professorjonathan van—tam, we cannot answer all the questions sent to us but hopefully we got through some of the key areas people wanted to know more information about. and took one of the other main stories today, students sitting gcse and a—levels in england next year will be awarded more generous grades to compensate for the disruption to schooling in the pandemic. pupils will get advanced notice of exam topics and be allowed to use memory aids. measures will also be put in place to help students who miss exams because of self—isolation. here's more from our education editor, bra nwen jeffreys. heading home to self—isolate, year 11 at this secondary school. just before it was confirmed, some shared their gcse fears with me. i have a lot of worries about gcses because i reall

mike: great to be with you, jonathan. on the there is a cap treasury market, and it's really the result of looking away from the slow term where there are certain instances where people think about growth post-covid. we see significant vaccine implementation. the jobs report, it will take a long time to get back to normal. the fed will be on hold for the foreseeable future. as a result, you will not see a 50 basis point increase in the 10-year. people should sit tight and recognize that rates will stay low for the foreseeable future. today proves that we will be in this odd situation where markets will look forward but you have policies that have to catch up. a lot of people are out of work and struggling in the u.s. jonathan: everyone is struggling with getting comfortable right now. you need to get comfortable with what is going on around the world in front of you, comfortable with the outlook at the same time. that is an incomparable thing to do, to divorce the here and now from the outlook. what is your advice to peop

tears all the way around, jonathan. it was a template for how government and advocacy groups tried to right wrongs, to try to move that arc towards justice. i would also mention the day "don't ask, don't tell" the senate was the same day the dream act failed. feel. my team is been working on both. i remember president obama went up to my office and he said to everyone, people who are shedding tears of joy and tears of sorrow, and he said we have to be inspired i what happened with "don't ask, don't tell." do not give up the fight. the fight is long and arduous and it's painful and it is so worth it. in closing i would want to give a shout out to admiral mullen because i was in my office when you testified on the hill in early 2010. i will never forget you made it clear 50 whichever of the joint chiefs but you made your remarks personal to say that number one, we can't ask those who served to ask them to live a lie. and that you believe the military would rise to the occasion and embrace those who were openly gay, equall

it would be unlike him. >> jonathan, both questions. do you think that he will attend the inauguration and do you think there will be any invitation over the white house ahead of time? >> because we are in prediction mode, i'm going to go against the panel. i think that he will go to the inauguration. after four years of acting unusually it might be a good moment for him to be remembered. he's going to move into the legacy area right where he's thinking about his legacy. the other thing is i don't remember when he had the opportunity to be on television where he turned it down. and even after as the former president you have cameras on you, you have the tension on you and generally speaking if you behave like a normal president, people say nice things about you. >> dividing them to do things it really doesn't look like that. the one set of people that they seem to have respect for our people his age and i do think that he was a little less nasty about joe biden the than he hasn about other people and he tends to be again, more respectfu

>>we're in money is the question yeah, more show jonathan good tease and i like that. >>thank you something >>so don't tonight here on kron 4 news at 8 o'clock while some folks, the cover quickly from covid-19 it could actually take some others months to do so we learned about one sacramento, firefighters journey as he works to regain what the virus took away. >>well some people recover quickly from covid-19 mothers are asymptomatic and it can also take months for other people to recover from the virus before one sacramento firefighter, his journey is still continuing as he works to regain what the virus took away. garage paul has his story tonight. >>we're 3 times a week walking on treadmill with a 60 pound here this criminal firefighter, matthew rocky is trying to regain what covid-19 the wait. >>history. and conditions just knowing where you where you were and where you are now it's been pretty hard a difficult process. he says is closer to the end than the beginning the sacramento fire fight a contracted the virus back in july i've been sick before, but i've never

jonathan. jonathan: i will say three things. you heard such important points in terms of what happened in the election and why it played out. derrick is right that our researchers are looking at the spread of misinformation. on social media. if we want to clamp down -- [indiscernible] if we want to slow the online harassment, all of us need to come together and push the new biden administration to take drastic steps to deal with social media. -- facebook, which is so powerful in terms of bringing people together, it is the single largest platform for the harassment of marginalized communities. it is the place where people are most likely to be cyber bullied. you have allowed white supremacists to undermine the peaceful black lives matter -- protests, to foment hatred against immigrants and latinos, to single out and slander muslims consistently and promote holocaust denial. number one, david -- number one, we need to hold the social media companies accountable, and when their products promote hate and foster violence, we need to

i had a couple of other ones, jonathan, that i was hoping that you could just consider leads as you get ready for our workshop. so i'm not asking for your reaction today. in fact, i don't want your reaction today. i want you to think about them. on preventative maintenance, i do understand your point that we've got some big projects that we really can't afford to side swipe. i will say that there's an extra year of life out of themselves because they're not getting anywhere right now. but my hope would be that there is some amount of room to squeeze out there, because as you know that capital money is a lot easier to find than operating money. and the operating money is where we have the problem. the second idea is do we have any special reserves, like the debt service reserve, the catastrophic loss reserve, that are -- what i would call overfunded, that are funded more than we have promised the boys at standard & poors? if that's the case that may be something where we could sweep some of that out. third, i wanted to make sure that you're aware of and to take a little credit for the fa

jonathan: good morning. clearly the fact that the regulator also sent out a letter to the ceos about pay prove they are reminding banks they are under scrutiny. but when asked the question, i don't think that they will necessarily count out to the extent the ecb would like. they will be a little disappointed, the quantum of the cap. morgan runs in germany or paris, are they considered a european bank? does the eu regulator tell american banking in europe that they can't compensate? jonathan: no. issues they talked about, we know that u.s. investment banks have been taking market share. marketas a big shift in share. and the bigger banks over here are going to have to pay up. lafayette wasngs quite clear about, we recognize that you may need to pay. you may have an agreement in place. but please consider referrals and other instruments like equity. because we are watching. they were very clear that they were watching. when you look at what the ecb has put in place in terms of some of the guidance compared to

jonathan: from new york and london, bloomberg real yield starts now. we begin with the big issues. >> if we look at the things we got wrong. >> liquidity. >> the big lesson is liquidity. >> the amount of borrowing you can do without pushing up. >> we probably saw the best set of policies. >> someone with a printing press in the basement willing to use it. >> we investors get taught to be overly conservative. is bet this has taught me more opportunistic. >> the u.s. is the upper former. >> i wish i had paid more attention to technicals. >> that floats your boat. >> this is no longer a situation where fundamentals are the primary driver. >> we are all seeing black swan events. >> rewrite some chapters in the textbooks. jonathan: some of those textbooks need ripping up. matt, very festive in the background. great to catch up. let's start with the lesson of 2020 for you. matt: happy holidays. lesson is about when governments and central banks work together to address worldwide problems for economies and the people that contribute to those economies. centra

>> good to be with you, jonathan. and it is a great question and a question on the minds of many, many people. really around the world. because we're seeing this new variant or new type of variant in many countries. you just reported the first case right here in the united states. but we're also saw this first in the united kingdom where we're seeing cases rise quite rapidly despite strict lockdown down or stay-at-home measures. we think it is attributed to the new variant which as you pointed out is more transmissible and more contagious. but here is the good news. it is that it has not been shown to result in more severe disease. and, b., this particular has not been shown to not be susceptible or be responsive to the vaccines, which is really great news. the other good news is that we -- the other mitigation protocol that works is masks. masks distancing and vaccines. this is another reason why we need that, the vaccines to be rolling out as effectively and efficiently as possible, jonathan. >> okay. i want you to

thank you for joining us, i'm justine waltman i'm jonathan mccall and we are on the brink of history as coronavirus vaccinations are expected to get underway in a matter of days. >>it's an enormous task with strategic plans across america to deliver those vaccines safely and these doses cannot come soon enough as covid-19 continues to devastate the golden state california health officials reporting more than 35,000 new cases of the virus and 225 deaths both numbers shattering daily records more than 13,000 people are currently in the hospital that's also an all-time record and the state's icu capacity is now at just 7.9% some good news though california is expecting some 327,000 doses of the pfizer covid-19 vaccine as early as monday. as part of the initial vaccine rollout the move comes after the fda authorized emergency use of that vaccine late last night. the chief operating officer of operation warp speed now praising the effort today calling it historic. for 7 months we have realized the greatest public private partnership in modern times. >>doctors scientists researchers factor

briefly, jonathan. we have loads of questions but i saw you shaking your head. we have loads of questions but i saw you shaking your headlj we have loads of questions but i saw you shaking your head. i was nodding my head, in terms of what claire said, it is all absolutely spot on. in terms of vaccines causing some kind of autoimmune disease, there was a tiny risk or concern about one of the pandemic flu vaccines come of the swine flu vaccine used in the united states that might have been associated with a syndrome called guillain—barre syndrome where the immune system starts to destroy the peripheral nerves but the evidence wasn't that strong and we have not seen anything like it since and that vaccine is used routinely, sol think, you know, the risk of having an autoimmune disease as you may well suffer a more serious disease and therefore you should get vaccinated. we have to crack through the next question is because we have plenty to get through. jonathan, andrew says we know that the covid vaccines, though promising, i'm not 100% effective and some peopl

that's where we start to saturday night here on kron 4 news at 10 o'clock i'm jonathan mccall and i'm justine waldman by this time tomorrow night 3 bay area counties will be under this new regional stay at home order. >>and then 2 more counties are to follow soon after the new rules coming us coronavirus move closer to reaching itals capacity. thursday governor gavin newsom announced that order would go into effect in 4 regions intensive care capacity fell below 15% so thursday icu capacity here in the bay area was above 25%. >>yesterday it dropped by more than 4% to just over 21% where it stands right now, although capacity did rise by half a percentage point today it is still dangerously low, which is now prompting several bay area health officials to implement those new stay at home orders earlier than necessary. so here's one the orders officially begin san francisco santa clara and contra costa counties will begin starting these rules on sunday night at 10 which is when the state's curfew goes into effect. >>and the alameda county it will take effect just after midnight on monday

good morning, i'm jonathan capehart. this is "the sunday show." ♪ >>> this sunday morning, record numbers of americans are trying to figure out where to get their next meal and how they're going to pay rent by friday. others just spent their first christmas or hanukkah without a loved one due to a virus that's taken the lives of more than 330,000. as of late last night yet another grim milestone as the u.s. topped 19 million cases of covid. donald trump who is still the president of the united states could be getting much needed relief to the millions of americans struggling right now, by simply signing the $900 billion package passed by congress last week, but he hasn't. and so two pandemic unemployment programs expired yesterday, throwing 14 million americans off the rolls and plunging some 5 million more into poverty. and that's just yesterday. but trump has been busy, it even says so on his official schedule, which reads, and i quote, during the holiday season president trump will continue to work tirelessly for th

>>well that's right jonathan today, the cdc and the western states. health safety group both approved the use of the vaccine meaning that it can be administered here in the state of california and of course here in the bay area. but now there are questions about how this vaccine is going to get distributed. and what comes next. >>fedex trucks rolling out the first shipments of pfizer by a one text covid-19 vaccine. it's a signal of hope as coronavirus cases continue to soar in california. the first set of vaccinations are set to be administered as early as monday that's the beginning of the end and that is the way we get ourselves out of this mess. >>but unfortunately it's going to take a number of months before there's enough people vaccinated to really turn the tide california is expected to get more than 300,000 vials of the vaccine which at first will primarily go to frontline health care workers and the most at risk. >>roughly 75,000 of those will go to places across the bay area, including ucsf studies have shown the pfizer biontech vaccine to b

jonathan, thank you. congratulations. new dad. i hope your wife and asher, everything doing well? >> yes, sir. thanks, appreciate it. >> be well i'm sure we'll talk to you before the end of the year >> let's talk more about tech. it raises some interesting questions when you look at not just the faangs but, josh brown, a name like zoom, which youown which has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the pandemic and that company is seeing moderating growth and i wonder if we have to start now planning for others to see the same thing as the pandemic gets longer and longer into the tooth and you can see a light at the end of the tunnel. >> so the quarterly report last night there was nosign in moderation in their growth, they actually raised guidance by an equally embryonic stem cell bare ased if you're talking about share price growth, well, that's another story. if you pull back this chart far enough, it's in an up trend. i'm in gains of over 500% given how long i've owned it i have no plans to sell it there are almost no companies on earth that you could think of that are in the

last word, jonathan turley, on this. it seemed like these legal challenges, some of them constructed in a way that the judges, some of the judges at least when they looked at them said i need more meat on the bone as far as evidence that the votes were stolen or fraudulent. >> that's right. the wisconsin appeal to the supreme court, which is skipping an appellate stage,s to look at these concrete allegations about 221,000 ballots that are being challenged in two largely democratic counties. but with this decision it's hard to see if that was successful that it would make any difference, obviously, with the balloting coming. part of the problem that i think we are seeing is many of these cases are being thrown out on standing or procedural grounds. and there are a lot of voters out there who believe that this election was not fairly done. and they don't feel like the evidence has been scrutinized. so i think the supreme court decision is going to fuel that objection. because this was made as a threshold procedural issue.

>>our kron four's jonathan mccall is here now with the concerns from these medical experts jonathan grant the strain is said to be spread more easily which is not good news for doctors who worry that without enough vaccine to protect americans against this variance train is could actually be a setup for more covid cases. >>a san diego man in his 30's is now the first person in california to test positive for the covid variance train. wednesday, san diego county officials said that the man first began showing symptoms of the strain on tuesday scientists in the united kingdom first discovered the strain now known as b 1, 1, 7, health leaders say that this virus is believed to be more contagious and spread more easily other question that people have had for us has been you know well the vaccine continue to be effective against this particular strain. >>the early data suggests yes, the current vaccine that we have available from pfizer and moderna should be effective against these particular strains doctor greece leawood skin for health says that vaccines are proving effective against it. >>b

>> good morning, jonathan. as you said, this was something that public health practitioners have been expecting, partly because we're not sequencing as many diagnosed cases in the u.s. we're likely to see more cases being reported because we're actively looking for it. the u.k. has done a couple of different studies to show that the variant is 60% more transmissible. over the period of december it's become the predominant strain that they're diagnosing so after it was discovered, it became the new strain that most people are getting infected with. they have now also done two other studies, one that looked at secondary infections. what they showed is people who had this strain were much more likely to pass it to other people around it in a case controlled study, and lastly, they noticed people who have the strain are much more likely to have a higher amount of virus in their respiratory tract which makes it of course easier to transmit. all of those things bring it together to the fact that even though we don't

jonathan lemire, i want to show you two pieces of sound. one from bill barr, one from mike pompeo, neither one of them friends or allies of transparency or truth or frankly the rule of law, but both of them now acting more truthy, acting more loyal to the fact of the russia atact and the fact the election was free from fraud than donald trump, and with want to show it as an example of how far trump has fallen even from his below ground level perch over the last four weeks. we'll talk about it on the other side. >> this was a very significant effort, and i think it's the case that now we can say pretty clearly that it was the russians that engaged in this activity. >> if you come to the conclusion the russians were responsible, and what responses we might see? >> from the information i have, you know, i agree with secretary pompeo's assessment. it's certainly appears to be the russians. >> so jonathan lemire, there's no doubt that the intelligence is clearly pointing to russia. i think microsoft has been the most aggressive and forward leani

jonathan, anything to add? yes, i'd like to add a few science reflections, if i may and begin with the fact to tell you quite openly andl the fact to tell you quite openly and i don't mind telling you, i'm not saying it for effect, the office will tell you it's true, i was quite emotional this morning when i heard pfizer/biontech layout how they had got to their conclusions about the vaccine, and what a momentous journey and international effort it has been. discovery by two scientists, who are originally from turkey, development by a german biotech company, involvement of a massive pharmaceutical giant, and involvement of our own mhr to bring home the goods in terms of the uk. what a fantasticjourney. and i gave you the train analogy many weeks ago now. the train has slowed down safely. it has now stopped in the station. and the doors have opened. that was the authorisation by the mhra and what we need is for people to get on the train and travel safely to their destinations. those destinations are all over th

one other thing, jonathan, that's interesting too. i think it's going to try the next several days, but potentially i think impacts perhaps the whole first year of the biden administration as well. and that is bernie sanders who came out and tweeted last night and said he's actually going to hold up the vote on the defense bill. remember the senate is voting -- planning to vote to override trump's veto of the defense authorization act. he's going to hold it up to try to force the senate to hold a vote on those $2,000 checks and the senate process here is pretty complicated but any single senator has the ability to do this and right now the question before the senate is not whether those checks would pass. we may get there. the question is whether they're going to take it up and actually vote on it. and that potentially puts a lot of those republicans in a tough spot. especially, david perdue and kelly loeffler. so, you know, that i think is going to be something really to keep an eye on over the course of the day, jon. >> the dynamic

for viewers worldwide, i matt miller in for my good friend jonathan ferro. the countdown to the open starts now. we begin with the big issue. another stalemate unfolding over increased fiscal eight. -- fiscal aid. mitch mcconnell blocking and burying attempts to increase payments despite pressure from his president. trump tweeting "unless republicans have a death wish, and it is also the right thing to do, they must approve the $2000 payments asap. $600 is not enough." chuck schumer also pointing the finger at mitch mcconnell. senator schumer: the vast majority of republicans and democrats support $2000 checks. an overwhelming bipartisan majority in the

larry kudlow will be talking to jonathan ferro. this is bloomberg. ♪ this is bloomberg. ♪ ritika: this is "bloomberg surveillance." i am ritika gupta. reportedk, carmakers their lowest november sales in 12 years. registration plunged 27% from a year ago. caseser of coronavirus soared. the administration is accusing facebook of discriminating against american workers. the justice department said the social network designated thousands of positions for foreign workers with h-1b visas. shares of china's third-largest oil company fell to its biggest weekly lost since the oil crash in march. the pentagon added the company to a blacklist that exposes firms to heightened scrutiny and intentional u.s. sanctions. the move is likely due to companies drilling for oil in the south china sea. francine: thank you so much. we continue to track the virus. bloomberg -- vaccine with the u.k. earlier this week. there were questions from dr. fauci in the u.s. as to whether they had been too quick. your thoughts on that? >> the data that was submit

. >> bill: jonathan turley is coming up. john roberts on the north lawn. right now, an fda advisory panel getting very close to voting on emergency use of the covid vaccine. that panel is in a break. they have about two hours to deliberate. we don't know when they take the vote. it's not the final step. fda officials have to sign off if the vote is yes. dr. marc siegel with me now. good day to you. i know you've been listening. what is your read on this hearing so far, doc? >> bill, let me paint the scene for you. this is called the vaccine and related biological products advisory committee. long name for a bunch of scientists. 23 who are outside the fda. they're vaccine scientists. one of you comes from your hometown, by the way. i interviewed three of them. they're excellent. they've been looking over the data on the pfizer vaccine for the last week. pouring over it, detail by detail. and they're going to make a recommendation today to the fda. traditionally, bill, the fda follows that recommendation, which is why we all think we might see an emergency u

jonathan, thank you. you are watching bbc news. now, time for a look at all the weather with sarah keith—lucas. now, time for a look at all the weather with sarah keith-lucas. for the rest of today, a real north—south split to our weather, with contrasts and temperature certainly. the scotland and northern ireland, turning colder, clearer with some scattered showers, england and wales, still very mild and also pretty wet as well, so we have low pressure bringing further outbreaks of rain, could be some localised flooding across parts of england and wales because this rain is falling in pretty saturated ground. the winds also feature, picking up, through the english channel, they could be some gales for a time, rein in the south pushing southwards and eastwards, further north, clearing skies and a cold northerly wind blowing in some scattered showers. they will be falling on fairly chilly ground across parts of scotland, there could be some snow particularly over hills, some iciness as well, further south, some frost to start of

jonathan: from the narrow point of the furloughs, i think it probably is. assuming, and none of us know how this will pan out, but if the vaccine rollout is successful as we hope, and so far things do seem to have gone reasonably well, then we should be through the pandemic and into the recovery phase the end of march. it does not mean the economy will not need support, will not need additional measures, but the furloughs will probably not be the right recipe at this point. you'll want to spend more time and effort getting unemployed people into new times -- into new jobs, and starting new businesses, rather than the support for existing jobs and businesses we have seen so far. it is not that the economy -- we will not need further policy measures, but i think phasing out the furlough schemes probably is the right way to go. kailey: we have to leave it there but thank you for your insight. jonathan portes, king's college london professor of economics and public policy. this is wanna lose weight and be healthier? it's time for aerotrainer. a more effective t

jonath jonathan reinhart. let's start with what the president told jake tapper, there's a mask challenge to the country. let's watch. >> i think my information, jake, is in the first day inaugurated to say i'm going to ask the public for 100 days to mask. just 100 days to mask. not forever. 100 days. i think we'll see significant reduction if we do that, and if that occurs with vaccinations and masking to drive down numbers considerably, considerably. >> dr. reinhart, he is going to ask, not mandate. is that enough? >> that's probably all he really can do on the federal level, but it is a giant move forward. we've never really had that kind of consistent, clear, unambiguous ask from the president of the united states, asking all americans to wear a mask. it makes me sad to think about how different our situation might have been if at the end of march the outgoing president said exactly that. all americans unambiguously should mask up. >> bully pulpit basic, seems that way to me as well. so the ihme has new pro

press, jonathan lemire. filling in for kasie d.c. this morning. and from "the financial times" ed luce is with us early this morning. >> the kids are talking about how lemire's performance -- >> it was good. >> on "way too early," much like elvis' first performance on ed sullivan. of course, he was shaking his hips too. >> yeah. >> like sullivan was banned from the waist down. that's why we had to do the same thing with lemire, but other than that -- >> good. >> jonathan lemire, great job. a perfect person to have this morning because one of the most infamous moments of the presidency was in helsinki when you asked if he was going to believe his intel community or whether he was going to believe vladimir putin and let's just say he did not choose wisely. we had the -- perhaps the finale of that this weekend. talk about pompeo versus trump now and if there's anybody in the united states government or on capitol hill that agrees with donald trump that this wasn't a russian hack. >> well, first of all, just trying to keep the seat warm for kasie here

>> jonathan, what the president is doing right now is unbelievably cruel. many millions of people are losing their extended unemployment benefits. they're going to be evicted from their apartments because the eviction moratorium is ending. we're looking to get the vaccines distributed to tens of millions of people. there's money in this bill. this president is diddling around and he may actually veto it. given the terrible economic crisis facing this country, yes, we need $2,000 out to every working class individual in this country, 500 bucks for their kid. you can't diddle around with the bill. sign the bill, mr. president, and immediately, monday, tuesday, we can pass a $2,000 direct payment to the working families in this country. >> the president came up with this out of the blue. the white house suggested that he was going to sign it as soon as it hit his desk. you have been proposing $2,000 payments -- you wanted monthly payments for months, since the spring. then you finally got republican josh holly to join you in the effort of a larger payment. dur

i'm jonathan mccall and i'm justine waldman if confirmed the sarah would be the first latino to head that department. >>the sarah spent more than 2 decades as a member of the house of representatives in his time as california is a g he spearheaded the coalition of democratic states defending the affordable care act from the trump administration's efforts to eliminate it. the sarah's nomination comes as the congressional hispanic caucus, has said there is a lack of latinos in the incoming cabinet, if confirmed this air will face the daunting task of leading the department during a pandemic that has killed more than 281,000 people has disproportionately affected people of color. >>our other big story this sunday night more than 30 million californians now facing stay at home orders and less than 2 hours at 10:00pm. those orders will go into effect for 3 bay area counties that san francisco contra costa and santa clara. the order is very similar to the lockdown that many of us all the way back in march. those counties now taking an earlier approach to governor newsom's order that requir
