We welcome you watching the weekly here on r. T. International now peru has decided not to bite of a potential corona virus vaccine being developed by the british firm astra zeneca limas cited a lack of data from the company after the death of the trial volunteer reports claim that a 28 year old male doctor in brazil died while taking part in advanced stage 3 trials run by astra zeneca and also works with university although its not known whether he received the actual drug or a placebo meanwhile the us is now permitted trials to resume after they were temporarily halted and other countries have also restarted them in recent weeks but it has more now on the race for a cure. There is always the risk with any vaccine any Clinical Trial that statistical improbability that point not one percent risk that someone dies at someone reportedly was a brazilian doctor he was part of an Oxford UniversityVaccine Trial Group and is believed to have suffered fatal hoovered complications but theyre sure its safe to keep going following careful assessment of this case in brazil there have been no concerns about safety of the Clinical Trial and the independent review in addition to the brazilian regulator have recommended that the trial should continue there is a race on a race for the vaccine that works that saves millions of lives and brings in billions of dollars and visits in Clinical Trial things go wrong they have astra zeneca whos vaccine it is has already suspended trials last month after another patient developed a strange illness but the trials must go on clients awaiting brazil for example whose president has said he wants the british vaccine in contrast to his own Health Ministry which wanted 46000000 doses of the chinese vaccine from my government any vaccine before being made available to the population must be scientifically proven by the Health Ministry and certified by the National HealthSurveillance Agency the brazilian people will not be guinea pigs for anyone there is no justification for a billionaire financial contribution to a drug that is not even parses testing phase given the above my decision is not to purchase the vaccine but it is remarkable to people look at the same vaccine and see 2 Different Things one sees a lot of votes Political Capital the other person sees a panacea medicine for millions it isnt only orgy it isnt politics and it isnt the electoral process. That saves it is the vaccine we dont want a new government will go to congress and to cool to ensure that the population has access to all vaccines that are efficient and safe health is a big arrested an idealogical will relate to all disputes brazil is in an awful situation 150000 coronavirus dead 2nd only to the United States things on pretty that careers and lives the economy and the election all hinge on that vaccine no wonder trump has been flooding pharmaceutical jobs 7 with billions of them to go fast and thought we have a vaccine thats coming its ready its going to be announced within weeks and its going to be delivered we have operation work speed which is the military is going to distribute the vaccine and just as it brazil theres a divide chasm in opinion people want need a vaccine but they want one that works not one that makes the most money not 1. 00 that stumbled and struggled through trials and especially not one made to save the president s korea this is the same fellow told you this is going to end by easter last time is the same fellow who told you that dont worry were going to end this by the summer were about to go into a dark winter. I think its going to be a very skeptical American Public about taking a break so you know and it should be if the doctors tell us that we should take it ill be the 1st in line to take it absolutely but if Donald Trump Tells us that weve taken im not taking it it was clear from the get go that there would be a race for a vaccine what we didnt consider was how dirty it would be our simple thing a jab to save millions of lives would turn into a bitter free for all over origin and money name and preach the advantage and reelection lets just hope that efficiency and Public Health also get a little consideration but it does the world despite the rush to develop a successful vaccine polls to show that americans are now less keen to take one than ever before a new survey this month does show that only 58 percent are ready to receive the job and thats a drop of more than 10 percent since the previous day back in august vice chair for the Us Libertarian PartyNational Committee arvin voted to say that vaccinations should need to be compulsory through politically motivated. When you politicize medicine generally the results are bad and thats one of the reasons that many libertarians of advocated for getting the f. D. A. Entirely out of medicine to get the government tiredly out of medicine abolish the f. D. A. And cut our taxes accordingly see the thing is each person has to calculate their own risk their own situation right now the American People are being given a different question which is why would you take a vaccine that hasnt really gone through any kind of long term testing where you could not possibly know what the long term effects are so obviously people are going to have a little bit colder feet when theyre dealing with something that is a lot less well known then other vaccines that have decades of of of dated Research Behind them so when you now have some that already kind of incendiary is issue and you add to it the biggest event in the world in the last decade easily then of course is going to be a politically important but a politically important issue and people are going to look very closely at how the candidates treat it do they treat it as a government issue an individual choice issue or Something Else entirely. From Don Joe Biden the cash again in the final president ial debate this week however a form of this in society at all bidens son stole the spotlight in an interview he gave just 19 minutes before the candidates to the stage his words are paid to back allegations of corruption corruption stalking the biden family joe biden say that is never discussed business with hunter. That is false d i have firsthand knowledge about this because i directly dealt with the biden family the emails a horrible evils of the kind of money that you were raking in you and your family and joe you were Vice President when some of this was happening and i think you owe an explanation to the American People i did my job you complete i carried out u. S. Policy not one single solitary thing was out of line not a single thing 50 former National Intelligence folks who shared this shes accusing me of is a russian plane you mean the laptop is now another russia russia russia hoax and you got exactly what does this tell you exactly why this is where hes going the are up is russia your time and i wish i want to stay on the issue of radio had to be kidding here we go again with the russia now the emails that reference there had been published earlier by the New York Post after reportedly being found on an old laptop of one to biden they claim that joe biden was well aware of his sons dealings abroad and he met personally with some of hunters foreign Business Partners or while holding the office of u. S. Vice President Joe Biden denies any corruption meanwhile social media giants twitter and facebook took down links to that New York Post article citing concerns over the origins of the source material in response republicans are now demanding that the heads of both firms testify before congress discussed with analysts the social medias role in the upcoming election. Facebook google and twitter previously vowed to prevent election to ferentz through their platforms to what extent do you think theyve managed to fulfill that promise i dont really know what twitter or facebook could have done what they have instead done is made a horrifying promise that they can regulate truth that is hard enough to do in a world that isnt politics where does information is part of the game they showed a significant bias in going after the hunter biden disclosures and ive read the hunter biden emails may strike me as perfectly valid perfectly plausible so i believe the story and i think that that that twitter and facebook are are deliberately trying to withhold information from the public in a clear effort to swing the election well we know that in contrast to what happened with honor biden story we didnt think about the christopher seal does which exploded across the world we get so used to get creams so having been utterly discredited by our own f. B. I. So relieved to me its Crystal Clear that whoever is these are pretty sober events and very nice companies heavily say were says our Mainstream Media the less and less and this is pushing down back aggressively right now in ways that i think we may very well suppress results and say the 2020 election in this country do you think many ways to be legal changes to restrict the power of Online Platforms to decide what we can accommodate quite frankly we are moving at a startling pace in terms of all these platforms and we dont have laws that really apply to them theyve made promises they cant keep and they are trying to please their user base is based soley on the the outrage of the moment the important point is that the censorship is being imposed on facebook and twitter by the government the government is afraid of these platforms. Liberals and democrats are both pushing for increased government regulation and i think its an assault on free speech so i think that theres an as much free speech as possible and that means there will be their speech but the only remedy for bad speech is good speech. France has recalled its ambassador to turkey after the turkish president questioned the Mental Health his counterpart emanuel macron it came after macron pledged to defend frances secular values and fight radical islam following the recent brutal killing of a teacher. We will not give up caricature or drawing even if others retreat what girl l z u z. Needs a Mental Health treatment what else can be said to a head of state who does not understand freedom of belief and who behaves in this way to millions of People Living in his country who are members of a different faith 1st of all a mental examination of france has announced a crackdown on islamic extremism following the beheading of samuel patting who had shown controversial caricature of the prophet mohammed to his people the killer an 18 year old refugee of chechen origin was later shot dead by police he moved to france with his family 12 years ago with the moscow does say that his russian citizenship was revoked after he was granted asylum in france. I know that one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compassion it was the victim of an islamist terror attack. And this is the concern person of russian nationality and of chechen origin benefited from a Refugee Status and lived in the he was not known to the Intelligence Services on a judicial level hes never been convicted but was known for cases of damaging public property and Gang Violence while still a minor. He asked Muslim Children to raise their hand and leave the classroom he did it my son told me he didnt do it to discriminate or to hurt he did it to preserve the children to not shield them he explains id prefer if you left because im going to show a cartoon of the prophet of islam i dont want to shock you. Im even more shocked that this college is one i opened when i was the town mayor working there was nice and it was located in a neighborhood without any problems or violence by i dont think that this act of terror is a crazy man but a premeditated act well the fallout from the killing has seen one mosque apologizing for sharing a video denouncing someone passing prior to his death the government is still awarded its closure. The Prime Minister announcing that more mosques would be shut the French Interior ministry ma has launched memories audience of muslim n. G. O. S and dozens of raise have been carried out against suspected islam ists but your abiding muslims deny deny fadia that they will suffer from the governments response human rights activists she asked me why r. T. And counterterrorism specialists Chris Phillips shed their views with us on the french governments response for are calling me asking me whether i was raided or not so we have we stuck point that everybody is scared that they would be raided at 5 or 6 oclock in the morning our fear that you know i will have to maybe be careful of what i post of and my freedom of speech as a human rights activist is literally on the balance this problem be so widespread were talking 1000 people literally thousands of people who are would be deemed to be in some way straightlaced will be to terrorist groups in the u. K. In paris in france in belgium and other countries that is just an enormous number of people and by the police we can have almost 2 hopefully from the extreme and that will do some good but this is a problem an assault thats going to go on for a long time to count them probably at least a generation. Still ahead thief i think a nice sign of letting up between our mania and as a began in the discipline to go on ive had a back wage and well have reports from their personal side from a neighboring as a beyond the region that is affected to stop the press. Join me every 1st week on the alex song im sure and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sport im sure ill see you then. Welcome back mania and as ive been fighting i have a new goal and i got it back for more than a month and hostilities show no sign of letting up either with reports of shelling in parts of the disputed region once again this week. Sent this report from near the front. Right now we head into the north to the Northern Front line which is one of the 2 remaining major hotspots in the corner cab out our drivers brother is serving there so hes bringing food and warm clothes as were going our driver keeps glancing to the right theres only a couple kilometers between our car and theres eerie artillery the road is being heavily shelled. The homely smell of freshly baked bread filling the car seems out of place as were approaching the frontline town so this is where we had to get out the city of that kept essentially they couldnt take us to the front line and in fact they didnt go either not only because its too dangerous but because the Commanding Officer of that particular platoon didnt want us filming there so that we dont give out the positions but the city of martek out of it has no rest this is just one of hundreds of craters left all around the city just this tuesday the Armenian Forces managed to repel a 700. 00 strong attack here now that the as every command knows how storage the resistance is theyve cranked up the bombardments by an order of magnitude. Lavonne our driver has to unload his cargo here he knows that there will be no shortage of Good Samaritans willing to pass it on to those in the trenches when theres a break in the fighting of course meanwhile live on and his friends can do more good collecting a new batch of supplies. Our friends from russia send us what we need or we buy supplies ourselves and bring them to those who need it im accused of reporting from the Northern Front claim immigrant to care about r. C. Or tensions over nagornokarabakh there to stretch back more than 3 decades although the current fighting did break out in late september although the region is legally part of is a big it is mainly populated by Ethnic Armenians both sides have agreed to a 2nd humanitarian cease fire recently but have since accuse each other of violating it or fighting continues not just across the river the disputed region but beyond its borders to officials and as a bizarre claim the city of tartar and neighboring areas came under armenian shelling on saturday for just a show to an unexploded shell near residential buildings their local journalist. Was caught up in shelling you are reporting from outside theres a big factory. This is ok but you know there are studies on this you know i mean you grab on the notion of prison progression yeah you know ive seen it with me of the girls as capacity of those adults would be terrible if you. Dont have kids but there are stars there is this new ideas that plasma. But school sloot. Has been walking in the day after day after day i see so exposed that so often and so loudly that we could heard it from the neighboring city which is 30 kilometers far from the front line as it only morning clear when it was a target and from there were the 1st day of the war this region has became an epicenter of artillery and tanks from armenian side. With a record setting 29. 00 fight some beating the world mixed martial arts lightweight champion how big has announced his retirement from the sport the russian revealed he had promised his mother that his latest clash would actually be his last night on saturday night and beat his american rival in a 2nd round knockout in their u. F. C. Title bout and i believe darby it was his 1st fight since his father was also his coach passed away fans reacted with your. Emotions are running high voices in straining i think it was one of the most difficult fights for her. Despite all the difficulties with the death of his father had been displayed a strong russian spirit grew glad that he won and ended his m. M. A. Career in such a way he demonstrated to the whole world he is the. Amazing career now earlier today Prime Minister announced a swathe of new measures cinemas and also swimming pools will have to close while bars and restaurants cant open past 6 pm public anger though how to already boiled over in rome last night after a curfew there was imposed. Protesters hurled projectiles at police and set off fireworks in the colors of the italian flag at least 7 arrests were made and 2 officers were left injured well with italy currently clocking up almost 20000. 00 new infections every day one local governor sees the opportunity to use the pandemic to fight back against what he sees creeping foreign influences he has effectively banned halloween by ordering a curfew on october 31st i. Mean its halloween this is this immense idiocy this immense stupid american extravagance that we have imported into our country thats its halloween is a monument to imbecility as well since we have to face the reality and since i feel that people are already getting ready to have parties everything will be closed on halloween from 10 oclock and there will be a curfew what weve got reaction from italians about the new restrictions. But in my opinion its stupid to think that closing all the nightclubs will stop people from gathering because we can regroup in another place. I agree to is deluca even before corbett in my view its a pretty silly holiday where catholics you know this americas immigration is not appropriate to me says by god but i think its a mistake halloween has become a good holiday here in italy and it helps the economy its a good thing for the city for young people that want to have fun and for everyone. I think that we can avoid these holidays because of the groan of virus these are useless holidays a group that honestly im not sorry for it we can stay home during this phase maybe next year we can go out and enjoy this holiday if there is a vaccine. In other news the United States is course confusion about its ongoing troop presence in afghanistan that after officials linked a long promised reduction to conditions on the ground a further statement by nato chafe also failed to clarify the situation. Going forward we will be looking at conditions on the ground to determine if there is a capability to draw down more troops which we all would hope that conditions would allow us to do that but certainly the conditions have not been met at this time we went into afghanistan together we will just to get there when the time is right but when the conditions are met we will leave together but according to an orderly way around 12000. 00 nato personnel are still deployed in afghanistan the u. S. Which 1st century in 2001 has cut its presence down to around 8 and a half hours and its part of the front of ministrations pledge of a total pullout by spring next year meanwhile former british soldier joe blanton has returned to afghanistan to investigate this eries of civilian killings Human Rights Watch claims that they were committed by cia backed paramilitaries something that washington denies claiming that many of the allegations against the special forces were likely false or exaggerated heres a taste of brentons report for arties redfish project you can watch it in full on mine. So im back in afghanistan to find out the story behind the headlines crimes record levels of civilian deaths and the story of the 0 you know shadowy cia practice of death schools killing people in the hours to come crashing into your house pointing and theres. Been you know youre separating people there kill you or they take 0 units arrived at the house of abraham and hajis nephews they interrogated them for several hours then they shot the weapon drops where in weapons would be placed on bodies to frame them as terrorists extra judicial killings the use of pictures pictures of dead bodies for propaganda when will you be referring the 0 units to the International Criminal court because these look to me like war crimes must change in one word if i could see it it must change the Current Situation that is not accepting the caress they had extensive documentation of their operations in the weapons caches kills and arrests for the local people there to support killers that are going there. Killing innocent people and the official line is that they are under afghans until the cia essentially controls it all. They fund it but they also control it they also hand out the operation this war is less accountable than ever what was once the job of u. K. And u. S. Special forces is now being carried out by these socalled 0 units and the fact theyre funded by the cia they have no accountability to either the u. S. Or afghan government. See that report in full on the cheap but the redfish platform so thats how the week hes looking today were back again with more than half an. Secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived within the 0 zone there were 2 view houses were allegedly prison was located and only cia people had access to the story for investigators hell they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean there you go rated nor been taught or nonsense. Keith you may be a sore knee yes or no for. Crying for justice on oxy. Its sort of amazing country with so many friends in russia and im very excited to be here. I love that idea i think i can do that. Every night i make a lot of money with them but they make millions and hundreds of me. And. He has a nice well theres a nice a great wall and nobody builds a lot better than me believe and ill build a very inexpensive like a great great wall. And just in case youre worried about whos going to pay for it mexico will pay for. It well see what happens who knows i always say who knows what will seattle philly will be successful
