Watching the weekly here on our to a recap of the biggest stories from the past 7 days im donald quarter thanks a lot for joining us. Now pru has decided not to buy doses of a potential Coronavirus Vaccine being developed by the british firm astra zeneca lima cited a lack of data from the company after the death of a trial volunteer reports claim a 20 year old male doctor in brazil died while taking part in advanced stage 3 trials run by astra zeneca and Oxford University its not known whether he received the actual drug or a placebo meanwhile in the us the us has now permitted trials to resume after they were temporarily halted and other countries have also restarted them in recent weeks has more on the race for the cure. There is always the risk with any vaccine any Clinical Trial that statistical improbability that would point to nor 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 complications but theyre sure its safe to keep going following careful assessment of the skis in brazil there have been new 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 v 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 who is 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 for 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 ideological troll 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 with billions urging 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 a 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 he this is the same fellow told you this is going to end by easter last time 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 back seat 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 i said to him that we should take it 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 a simple thing a jab to save millions of lives would turn into a bit of free for all of origin and money name and preach the advantage and reelection lets just hope that efficiency and Public Health also get a little consideration despite the rush to develop a successful vaccine polls show americans are now less willing to take one more than ever a new survey this month shows only 58 percent are ready to receive the shot and thats a drop of more than 10 percent since the Previous Survey back in august vice chairman for the Us Libertarian PartyNational Committee arvin vora says vaccinations should not be mandatory or politically motivated. When you politicize medicine generally the results are bad and thats one of the reasons that many libertarians have 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 can have a little bit colder feet when theyre dealing with something that is a lot less well known and then other vaccines that have decades of of of dated Research Behind them so when you now have some thats already kind of an incendiary as 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 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. Now the news france has recalled its ambassador to turkey after the turkish president question questioned the Mental Health of his counterpart emanuel macron came after macron pledge to defend frances secular values and fight islamic radicalism following the brutal killing of a teacher in the one we will not give up caricature of or drawings even if others retreat. Zias said of. 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. France has announced a crackdown on islamic extremism following the beheading of samuel paddy who had shown controversial caricature of the Prophet Muhammad to his students 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 and moscow says his russian citizenship was revoked after he was granted asylum in friends. Im not sure one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compassion it was the victim of an islamist terror attack. He says and this is the concern plus a 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 to be convicted the law is known for cases of damaging public property and Gang Violence while still a minor. He asked Muslim Children to raise their hands 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 of violence i dont think this act of terror is a crazy man its to put a premeditated act. The fallout from the killing a scene one mosque apologizing for sharing a video denouncing samuel paddy prior prior to his death the government though still ordered d its closure with the prime min. More mosques would be shut down as well the French Interior ministry has launched numerous audits of muslim g. M. O. And geos and dozens of raids have been carried out against suspected islamicists but law abiding muslims now fear they will suffer human rights activist yasser loudly and counterterrorism specialist Chris Phillips shared their views on the french governments response. To me asking me whether i was raided or not its so we have wished for him to everybody is scared that they would be related to 5 or 6 oclock in the morning here that you know i would have to maybe be careful of what i post of and my freedom of speech as a human rights of these literally all the buttons is going to be so widespread. That i would be literally thousands of people who are would be deemed to be in some way. The terrorist group in the u. K. In paris in front. So theres just an enormous number of people on the speaking out to. Me from the treatment that will do some good but this is a problem and a sort of thats going to go on through a long time to be at least a generation. Now on to the upcoming us elections donald trump and joe biden clashed again in the final president ial debate this week however a former business associate of bidens son stole the spotlight in an interview he gave just 90 minutes before the 2 candidates took the stage his words appeared to back allegations of corruption currently haunting the biden family joe biden say that hes 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 show you a Vice President when some of this was happening and i think you owe an explanation to the American People if i did my complete i carried out u. S. Policy not one single solitary thing was not a line not a single thing there are 50 former National Intelligence folks who said that what this hes accusing me of is a russian plane you mean the laptop is now another russia russia russia hoax and you got it exactly what does this tell you exactly what is always going right up is russia yes i mean i should i want to stay on the issue of right you have to be kidding here we go again with the russia the emails the trump referenced had been published earlier by the New York Post after reportedly being found on an old laptop of hunter biden they claim joe biden was well aware of his sons dealings abroad and he met personally with some of hunters foreign Business Partners all while holding the office of us present u. S. Vice president although joe biden has as we said as we heard said that he denies any corruption meanwhile the russian president has commented on the allegations while speaking to Russian Media a lot of fear putin said hes not aware of anything criminal that bidens son has been involved in while doing business in ukraine including you when you would use 2000 and. Indeed one to boyden hands and maybe has a business in ukraine because i dont know about that but it does not concern us until you know it concerns americans and ukrainians only well yes one jim boulden is known to have at least one company which he actually hated and apparently good money with but i dont see any crime here at least we dont know anything about it. Meanwhile social media giants twitter and facebook took down links to that New York Post article citing concerns over the origin of the source material in response republicans are now demanding the heads of both firms testify before congress and spoke with analysts about 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 the uninvited story we didnt think about the christopher seal does which exploded across the world we get so used to get creams utterly discredited by our own f. B. I. So really to me its Crystal Clear that whoever is these are operating these are events and are very nice companies heavily say we 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. Arms liberals and democrats are both pushing for for increased government regulation and i think its an assault on free speech so i think of the there she has much free speech as possible and that means there will be bad speech but the only remedy for bad speech is good speech. Fighting shows no sign of letting up between armenia and azerbaijan and the disputed nagornokarabakh region well have reports from there and also from a neighboring azerbaijani region stay tuned. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics Small Business im show business ill see you then.

The homely smell of freshly big bread filling because it seems out of places 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 mark that you have it has no rest this is just one of hundreds of craters left all around the city. Just this choose do you mean in forces managed to repel a 700 strong attack here now that the as every command knows how stupid the resistance is theyve cranked up the bombardments by an order of magnitude. 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 sent us what we need or we buy supplies ourselves and bring them to those who need it i guess dawn of reporting from the Northern Front plain in the going to care about oxy. Earlier donald trump floods to sort out the conflict calling it an easy case but tensions over nagornokarabakh populated mainly by Ethnic Armenians stretch back more than 3 decades fighting continues not just across the disputed region but beyond its borders as well officials in azerbaijan claim the city of tartar and neighboring areas came under armenian shelling over the weekend but it shows an unexploded shell near residential buildings there and local journalists there was caught up in the shelling while reporting from outside and azerbaijani factory. This is good but you should let us know when they see a lot of media group when they do so if it isnt because you know ive said it with me in the business capacity it does that work would be terrible if you did not that. You dont have kids but there are stars there is this new ad because i passed. Here the other has been walking through the day. After the. Yeah says the not so exposed to so often and so loudly that we could heard it from the neighboring city which is so cool that this fall from the frontline as it only morning clear when does it seem to come their way the war this soon john has became an Atheist Center of i think schoolmarm inside.

F. C. Title belt and although dhabi it was the 1st fight since his father who was also his coach had passed away fans celebrated his win. The.

With a deadly current currently clocking up almost 20000 new infections a day one local governor has seized the opportunity to use the pandemic to fight back against some creeping foreign influences hes effectively banned holloway in by ordering a curfew on october 31st. Is this immense idiocy this immense stupid american extravagance that we have imported into our country thats its halloween is a monument to imbecility 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. As we got reactions from italians themselves about these new restrictions. And in my opinion its stupid to think that closing all the night clubs will stop people from gathering because we can regroup in another place. I agree to is deluca even before call of it in my view is a pretty silly holy day where catholics you know this americas liberation is not appropriate to me and so you know 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 coronavirus these are useless holy days a group with 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.
