There are fears and gaining traction and could help prolong the pandemic poll showing many europeans already have their doubts. Doctors are taking to social media think change minds. I hope for the last moments of your life. Dont look like this. Good morning and thanks for joining us here on r. T. International. Iran has called on the United Nations to condemn the killing of its son, labeled the father of Irans Nuclear program. Iranian officials have pointed the finger at israel on the countrys envoy to the u. N. Said to iran, reserves the right to defend itself by all means. Local reporter give us more details about the killing, which brown has branded a state act of state terrorism. Senior iranian scientist was killed on a highway near tehran. Theres not much detail about the number of people involved in the attack or number of People Killed in the incident in the skirmish. But the tag took place some 75 kilometers outside to iran in north east of tehran, near the resort city of that, you know, apparently he did. Traffic was quite less day usual in comparison to the other days. And the terrorists apparently caught into the vehicle of the scientists newsmedia say dad, there was an explosion. And then there was a gunfire. Berridge of gunfire, bit been the Security Officials and sasan tactic, which is killing on the roll is similar tactic. Those attacks that carried out almost a decade ago, there was the result of such assassinations on a rainy and scientists big claim fly over top. Iranian scientists, his 1st Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had previously accused the slain scientists of being the driving force behind irans alleged Nuclear Weapons program. And he said the patrol spoke with my colleague in a nearly or about relations between the 2 states. Well, were getting all indications that this was a well coordinated, complicated attack on the man that some western intelligence agencies have flagged. As the person behind irans alleged covert Nuclear Weapons program, to ranfurly denies wanting anything like it. So this situation is nowhere near. Something in which the killer just points a gun at the victim and then shoots and kills here, it was much more complicated. Like i said, because explosives were used and there were even reports that this could have been a suicide attack. Then gunfire followed the explosion which left the vehicle with the scientists bullet marked. So this explains why the Iranian Defense ministry called this a terrorist attack from the very beginning, but all of that couldnt kill the man. Immediately he was taken to hospital where he died. So once again, here, were talking about a prominent Iranian Nuclear scientists. He had a team of bodyguards trying to protect them, but that couldnt save his life though the world i think is waiting to see what to run is going to do. Has to be any clue as to what the reaction, the initial reaction from tehran, senior officials, like, what have they been saying about this . Who did this . Whats going to happen . While the Iranian Foreign minister is making it clear once again that iran purely treat this as an act of state terror, jawad zarif is pointing the finger at israel, and also he is demanding International Attention to wrists, murdered an imminent iranian scientists. Today. This cowardice with serious indications of this really rule show desperate warmongering of perpetrators. Iran calls on the International Community and especially you see and their shameful double standards and condemn this act of state terror. Well, so far there has been no response from israel and charlie at this point. We cannot make any conclusions about possible connections between this murder and also the rhetoric that we have been hearing from israeli officials on Irans Nuclear activities. But the fact is that 2 years ago and 28. 00 taking the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called up the name of the murdered scientist and accused him not only of being behind the alleged military element of Irans Nuclear Program Years ago. But also he accused them of continuing to covertly run the program up until present times. Remember the name focus of the. So heres this director right here. And this is the general to announce the closure project. But then the special activities, you know, what the special look to will be carried out under the title of scientific know how developments and in fact, this is exactly what iran proceeded to do. It continued this work in a series of organizations over the years now, and we just put this in context. The story of the Iranian Nuclear program, at least in the past 2 decades, has resembled a game of nonstop ping pong. If i may put it this way, that is to iran, constantly repeating and trying to convince the International Community that its Nuclear Activities are purely of a peaceful nature. And then also the anti to ron international law, be led by israel, constantly repeating that iran is only trying to fool the world and lists from both iran and israel share the thoughts about what happened. Of course, this assassination is illegal and its an act of war when they see aspires, arrested in iran, or in a terrorist is arrested in iran, immediately western human rights organizations, governments, the media pundits, experts all say that theyre innocent as if they have some sort of insider information. Yet when these attacks are carried out, these attacks are carried out with the help of spies with the help of terrorists, and they gloat over it. And instead of condemning it, they go and you know, they try to make him look as if hes evil, these lows will respond. So you cannot put the blame on israel. Everything is possible in the middle east and in present these bodies and lead them identify them and if they claim that is behind it, lets see if those people are really israelis right now. I doubt it very much. The incident comes at a time when relations between the u. S. And iran are essentially at rock bottom, specifically after the trump of ministration. Quit the key nuclear deal struck back in 2015. Aunties new york correspondent kelly morgan has details. Well, the trajectory of u. S. Iran relations over the past few years has been quite negative. Things have been moving in quite a bad direction between the 2 countries. Donald trump has presided over a situation where the usa and iran are moving further apart. And prominent iranians have been killed. Back in january, donald trump ordered a drone strike directed against qassam solomonic that resulted in qassam somani death on that caused outrage throughout the region. He was a leader of the Islamic Revolutionary guards. He ran military operations against isis ill, to protect christians in syria, and in iraq. And he was designated as a terrorist by the United States. Now when he was killed, there were protests throughout the region. There was, there were protests in the arab world in pakistan, and yemen in turkey. There were also protests in response to that killing by donald trump. A huge amount of outrage. Many voices internationally spoke up and felt this was a very unnecessary escalation of tensions between the United States and iran. And we also recall that prior to that assassination, donald trump had withdrawn from the iran nuclear deal. He pulled out of the jays c. P. O. Away and he said it was the worst deal of the century. This is donald trump. I recruit from the last administration disastrous. If i didnt terminate that stupid, the deal was a disaster. The agreement that was it was a disaster. Now many were hoping that things may change with joe biden in the white house after all. Joe biden was Vice President under barack obama, and it was the Obama Administration that negotiated the iran nuclear deal, which donald trump pulled out up. However, and then are many are looking at whats happened since the signing of the Iran Nuclear Agreement in 2015. And seeing the United States pulling out of that agreement more sanctions being placed on iran, the killing of qassam somani. Now there is the incident, it was the killing of this nuclear scientist. And many are wondering if that is really possible. Is there really hope for the United States and iran to sit down once again and make any progress . And in bettering the relationship between the 2 countries, it will certainly be difficult for a biden administration, if indeed they intend to take these moves. Can stone from the how Milton Coalition to stop the war says it doesnt make much difference for the middle east who sits in the oval office the current atmosphere. Its clear that the trumpet ministration, which is a lame duck administration. They will prevent any progress towards peace in the middle east. However, we have to keep in mind that even under a biden administration, that they have the purpose, the us Foreign Policy in the middle east, its to regain hedge of money over the entire region, including iran, which it lost in the islamic revolution, which overthrow overly up it dictator, the shah, and so they would, the game is dominance and whether its trump or biden, that they, that is the game of the last empire. French president has branded as shameful a video capturing the moment for Police Officers because the black man in paris, whos a music producer, whos full of tasty, diffident, wearing a face mask on the following c. C. T. V. Images of sensing. There are also photos showing the extent of the mans injuries. Again, some graphic imagery coming out cyclo was left with head and facial wounds as well as a torn, and he was initially placed in Police Custody where he spent 48 hours. It was only seen by a doctor after that charges against him, of violence and rebellion were later dropped. Following the emergence of the Video Evidence if you see it, it was very hard when they fired tear gas that was at the back. I tried to call my lawyer, i tried to call a lot of people, even in the neighborhood my screen, you see, he called me and ask whats going on. I explain it been attacked and he wanted to call the police, but it was the police, the most outrageous. I cant even tell you what im waiting for. I wish, of course, that this never happens again to anyone. Whether there are cameras or not. It should never happen, but look, at least theyre here to protect us. As media reports claimed officers were suspicious of the mans lack of a face mask and detected the smell of drugs. Theres a claim that he tried to attack them and drop their weapons for officers have not been suspended. A criminal inquiry has been launched. So close lawyer says the video saved a client from prison. You know, if theyre hitting him with their telescopic badness, they dont stop hitting him. This video last for 12 minutes of violent video is essential because my client was initially and they detained him, accused of violence against a Person Holding public authority. So its essential and its extremely serious. If we didnt have this video, perhaps my client would be in prison for an extremely serious infraction. This incident comes as a new security bill is provoking widespread protests and plans if passed in january would make sharing videos or images of the Police Illegal if they could potentially put their officers at risk. A member of the committee against Police Violence told is this new case shows why filming police in public is essential. We are again seeing Police Violence. The video from the Security Camera was actually taken by the victim. Its a private video. It proves that the Police Report was falls. This is just one of countless cases in france. We are dealing with. They have been lots of them recently. For example, the case of cedric which was widely covered by the media with Police Officers following him and reports on it. And then video proves it false. The situation was different. Unfortunately, the Justice System seems to take the word of the police for this reason video that captures the police in action is needed 1st to start an investigation, as in this case. And secondly, to provide sufficient evidence for these drugs, watchdog says a covert vaccine should get approval by the end of the year. It also needs to get the nod from the European Union Commission Proposal found widespread skepticism about the job across the continent. Grist to the mill of the facts movement, so the basic explains, i think, being hailed as the mirror cools, all of our time over successive weeks, homa surgical joints of war found the key word, covert, or at least a vaccine. Now while countries fill their boots with orders, one question remains who will have the job . Well, you know, i would not go for the vaccine because usually it takes years to create a vaccine. And for me, its quite risky to take a vaccine that was not been going a lot of Scientific Research and studies and so on. And thats why a bit skeptical about the side effects. Yes, i think ill defend to give vaccine back some because i its good to know if you have it or not. So i think, yeah, i will just me personally get if they see that the vaccine is good. I will get vaccinated. Yes. If the vaccine will not be made mandatory by the government, i dont want to be vaccinated. I will not get myself vaccinated because i dont have trust in our government. I dont know if this vaccine is good or not. We dont know if they will be side effects in process, significant chunk of the population is a proxy wherry. Know, much of that relates to a deep mistrust of the state. The Anti Vaccine Movement in france is a more recent development than the n. T. Vaccine movement in england. The Small Movement in france, which makes a big noise online, isnt stronger than elsewhere. But france does have one specificity, which is its almost pathological relationship with the state french people expect so much of our state and so they are also very critical of it. Hostility to these new covert vaccinations has taken hold. Equal time, assuming continued when you, when you teach in your suit, you should be sensitive to see people were content in many protests from the pubic. Watched boy millions of people, the documentary hold up has found the flames. Of empty boxes that claims global capitalist elite is so we must hysteria over the virus by using fake statistics. And what many politician slummed it is fake news. Other politicians own celebrities promoting the film. Or while criticizing the french government for its Health Policies during the president make the discontentment surrounding the vaccine, doesnt lead to some who want to go for it to be true that something president the court has ruled out, at least for now. Its in the facts, a nation must be transparent with all the Information Available about each stage. What we know as well as what we dont know. I also want to be clear, i will not make vaccination magistri. Other european leaders have made similar declarations or having to weigh the positives of mass vaccinations with the roistering empty back sentiment. Thank you. Thank you. While unseen faxes have been labeled as right wing conspiracy theorists, others say that they are simply questioning the silence. The experts say that that is to be expected. In general, it takes a vote 20 years to develop a vaccine before i just read you for the market. So these are legitimate concerns and wave of mistrust regarding a colleague 19, a vaccination is to be expected. So no but mistrust. A royces from problems with previous vaccines such as the one, polio, a 955, the cuts, a vaccine was found to have caused 40000 cases of polio, killing time. But modern medicine has come a long way since that would fatal mistakes learn from the gap seems to have become for many a bottle tool in the fight against disease. If the risk of this disease in terms of this, without your work or mortality is point 0001 percent and a vaccine. What would help a little bit . I mean, im not sure. You know, again, i would leave that to the individual to make that decision. Not a government, if youre thinking about, say they could be taking back, you know, its coming out. We have to really think you seriously about that. Because there are tremendous push backs in many countries, germany, denmark, even england, and even the United States. Were not doing this or were tired of this. Obviously theres not going to be enough vaccine for everyone to be vaccinated, but we should make sure that its the most vulnerable, such as the elderly people work incredibly sick, like hypertension, diabetes, people with bad lung disease. People are morbidly obese or dead millions of doses of the coverage were going to vaccine in government. So relying on people to be lining up in the streets to have a job in the hope that life as we knew it will return to normal. Yet with such high numbers of people saying they wont be in those queues. Antti that says could end up leaving them and needles. So what do you want . Ski otty, paris doctors now are taking extreme measures to make people aware of just how dangerous the virus is. A physician in the u. S. State of missouri went viral after posting this video staging a patients last moments before dying from coated. This is what it looks like when you breathe 40 times a minute. Have an oxygen level thats dippin. Well below 80 i hope. But the last moments of your life dont look like this. Because this is what youll see at the end of your life. If we dont start Wearing Masks when were out in public, i promise you this is what your mother or your father or your children. When they can call the disease, will see you at the end of their life. The doctrine of video, kennesaw, remy talked to us about what he thinks is the best way to get people to take up the job. Theres a lack of information at times that people are unwilling to either speak out. And so i think that with a lack of information, i think there is an opportunity for Health Professionals and medical professionals to at least engage people in the public who perhaps have doubts about certain things. Im cautiously optimistic about the rigor by which these current vaccines are being evaluated is no different than if this was a lapsed over a longer period of time. And so these vaccines have gone through significant phase one, phase 2 and now feast 3, you asians. And i think that we should be in a position hopefully that these are going to be successful and will have minimal side effects educating. Certainly the populace to understand specifically the different aspects of these vaccines and how theyre going to be most helpful and which populations will be even more helpful. I think is important. I think education always is number one. When mistrust is no only thing that could hinder vaccine take up. The study claims that wealthy countries have secured nearly all borders for the coming year, leaving poor nations in the lurch. And holkins reports, the police, killing of george floyd, reinvigorated the black lives matter. A movement that caused indignation on a global level with millions turning out across the u. S. And beyond. To say enough is enough. Major companies were quick to show solidarity. And big pharma led the way big pharma even harder. Lobbyist with great social justice credentials. I wanted to make sure that i was highlighting all the great work enduring organization, but also with our member chided diversity to try to address Health Care Disparities to try to improve patient accessed with at least 3 major coburg, 19 vaccines being rolled out in the coming weeks access is the global buzz word. So heres the charts for pharma giants to go all in the fight against racial injustice, inequality and discrimination all across the world. But so far, theres little evidence of that happening. Take the moderna vaccine, despite receiving nearly 2500000000. 00 in taxpayers money, the company intends to make a profit. The vast majority as much as 78 percent according to estimates of its 1000000000. 00 capacity, has already been sold to wealthy countries, such as the u. S. And canada, japan, and around europe. How about pfizer . Forget it. Its estimated over 80 percent of the vaccine has been snapped up and preorders by the same nations astra zeneca is apparently doing a little better pledging 2 thirds of its vaccine to developing countries. But even in the best case scenario, it could supply only 38 percent of the global population, and half that number with 2 doses per person. This is your ocean isnt new. Even before this pandemic and the mated 20000000, infants around the world have insufficient access to vaccines every year. And it doesnt look like changing anytime soon. According to one study, people in low Income Countries could be waiting as late as 2024. While some middle and lower middle Income Countries are represented here with directs deals, none of them have enough to vaccinate their entire populations. In the same time, canada has purchased enough to vaccinate its population 5 times over. High Income Countries have little incentive to share from their advance purchase stock. And even if things change in companies drastically ramp up production, many countries couldnt afford the job even if they wanted to. The modeller vaccine cost 30 2. 00 to 37. 00 per dose with 10 percent of the worlds population living on less than 2. 00 per day. And half the world living on less than 5 is that this fix makes for very grim reading. So even having hypothetical access to the vaccine doesnt mean having the ability to buy it. But there is a way out all these injustices could be remedied by countries waiving patents and other intellectual Property Rights on cobra related treatments until the pandemic is over. Countries like india and south africa would support from pakistan and china. Try to bring the idea to the table, but the proposal was dead in the water. You guessed it, the same countries who pretty much monopolize the job are having none of it, ignoring the pleas of the medical community already. Just the normal pharmaceutical. Yes it is that it is there in front of the public, it seems big pharma would disagree. Its a very black lives might matter. Healing the scars of poverty too, just as long as it makes Good Business sense. And we spoke with political activist antonova just right. Who says that the drug giants only care about peytons not patients. It is profound hypocrisy, absolutely profound hypocrisy. You know, i understand the idea of making sure that people get paid for their labor. But if were really going to make this available to everyone, we have to make it a billboard, absolutely, to the people who are the most vulnerable. And lets not forget the fact that a lot of these trials were done in developing nations. So you cant just treat people as subjects to get your vaccine on the markets and make a bunch of money and then not make it available to the people who you tested it on. Developed nations are not the only people are not the only nations who deserve to be healthy, who deserve to live normal, everyday lives who deserve to be able to save children and their elderly people. d so again, big pharma is not interested in saving people. They are interested in saving patents, and theyre interested in increasing profit phonic caught in germany has ruled the country isnt liable for possible war crimes connected to u. S. Drone strikes, controlled from its territory. Washington is coordinated a number of operations through the Ramstein Air Base. Now that the lawsuit of the yemeni nationals has been tonight, the federal Administrative Court has explained that a general condition for protection in favor of foreigners in Foreign Countries can exist. But southern quire means differently than the higher administrative warrant. Where this ruling in light sig means that the German Government has no responsibility to guarantee that u. S. Drone strikes that are operated from the u. S. Airbase on german soil, that they adhere to International Human rights law that they fall within the remits that overturns a ruling in a german court in munster last year, which said exactly the office. Its in said that berlin did bear responsibility. It also went on to say that the German Government knew u. S. Missions that would be operated from the Ramstein Air Base in the south of germany violated international law. And the case was brought originally back in 2014 by human Rights Groups representing the families of yemeni people who had been killed by u. S. Drone strikes. One of those family members spoke to the press following the ruling at this case at the court in light sick. And he said, it is a severe blow. My family cannot live free from fear while these drones flying with germanys help hover over a community in yemen, threatening to bring death and destruction. U. S. Drone strikes have targeted yemen for well over a decade. The main targets have been al qaeda terrorists operating on the ground, but they havent been the only ones that have been struck. Weve also, according to the, the bureau for investigative journalism, seeing 200. 00 civilians or at least 200. 00 civilians with around 50 children, also being killed in these airstrikes. This clearly a lot of very high temperatures running here over this court ruling. I think the German Government and lets assume that german leads they are afraid of, disappointing. d the n. R. A. , the United States of america and their government. But i think international law. d d and the human rights should stand in the middle of any decision. All the. d caught in the middle of any decision over government and there should be no. d pressure to conduct well crimes, the German Government test of the true what happens in the case of writing style is under control of the us army. And so under the control in the last
