Welcome to the weekly here on our to international where we bring you the top stories from the past week. Paris was engulfed in renewed unrest on saturday over a security bill 142 people were detained amid clashes with police riot officers whose water cannon and tear gas as the situation spiraled out of control has been huge anger over plans to protect Police Officers by handing them extra powers and boosting surveillance in the country artist trial devinsky was at the rally for us. So we have seen the number of what i would describe the smash and grab spike the Police Members over the Security Forces going to the crowds and dropping out individuals that they think of causing trouble that followed tensions with the locals except to. Wood being thrown at the Police Office is the 1st i had seen a gas already deployed to add to gases being used directly from aerosols sprays axe the protests. There are thousands and thousands i try to get a camera to see to look up the street which is completely packed and then if its possible to turn the camera around youll see how many people are still coming. There were other demonstrations across the country as well all against the Global Security lowered our people were unhappy with article 24 specifically this would have criminalized individuals who published images of the police if there was intent to harm but that provoked huge theory here in front as a result parliamentarians are going to rewrite the specific rules but people are angry again dont just about that but also a new law that was approved by the french captain it here in the week and this also contains an article which is very very similar to the controversial article 24. 00 that is that it would become a criminal act to post images of somebody online if they could be identified and if there was intent to home so take out the word police and its essentially the same act and the police are also unhappy about some of the comments made by president mccollum in the last week he said in an interview that the police are controlling more people who are known why than white people expect us to go to a manual mccrone ends up telling the media that the police are racist i can go. Team my colleagues are not racist today is no racial control or even the Police Problem it unsecured upbringings the problem is that the police lock resources and personnel there are many things and when they are asked for help no one is listening on the other side with and criticize the police which i think is like a step in the back the police. Come here you go. You. Are the last piece right there is the critics out. There that think you are. Right. Or people were stabbed in washington d. C. During clashes between trumps supporters and their opponents the victims are in Critical Condition backers of the outgoing president had rallied on saturday to denounce the election result but were met by counter protesters and similar scenes played out on the west coast in Washington State where one person was shot and injured as rival protesters faced off with a suspect has been detained tried to keep the sides apart using tear gas and stun grenades that were clearly unsuccessful. Russian and british scientists have agreed to combine forces and theyre back scenes in a bid to tackle the Global Pandemic astra zeneca says its ready to work with the developers of russias sputnik. Today we announced a Clinical Trial program to assess safety and immunogenicity of combination of ease a d. 1222. 00 developed by astra zeneca and Oxford University and sputnik v. Developed by Russian Research institute. About seen Developers Hope that combining their drugs could lead to a better response to the corona virus the Clinical Trials will be held in russia and involved volunteers 818 and over the job created by Oxford University and astra zeneca has shown varying results depending on the dose with an average efficacy of 70 percent compared with these results so far of a poor 90 percent. They have a problem very vaccines efficacy isnt high enough this should be improved we have 2 different ads no viruses they will take one of them and use it as a booster like you are on College Professor Lawrence Young says cross border cooperation will be vital in tackling the Current Health crisis i think its a fine stick opportunity to Work Together in developing a more effective vaccine and theres lots of evidence that when you mix and match different vaccine platforms you get stronger and longer lasting in your responses to our competition so this is fantastic news and i think it will. Raise confidence both in terms of the astra zeneca vaccine and also the sputnik vaccine it demonstrates that the power of scientists working collaboratively were all very keen scientists around the world to Work Together and work in collaboration and i think this will provide an excellent opportunity for the very best people working in the u. K. In the very best people working in russia to actually Work Together and i hope that one of the consequences of Something Like this is the longer term collaboration in other areas of science and medicine so i think its a very very important important day for us actually its very exciting. Moscow has become the 1st russian city to begin a masco bit and Occupation Program the sputnik shot is being made available free of charge front line workers including hospital and school staff will be 1st in line although for now its not being given to anyone over the age of 60 russias daily infection rate has reached 28000 cases the numbers have been steadily rising since september earlier this week. Visited a company that its ramping up production of the vaccine. We are the 5 car company its a fetus in every way i am a different scene is being told here that if they had this particular line for cases 6000 times but our sputnik the is a too short adenovirus based vax a vaccine the difference between sputnik vi and some other International Code 19 vaccines is this vaccine is a human based one not an animal so whats a vaccine its an engineered virus lacking the gene for production therefore its unable to infect or to does is serve as a vehicle for coronavirus proteins over 3 weeks a patient receives 2 different jobs to form antibodies and disease resistance before taking a coronavirus vaccination everyone is examined to make sure theyre healthy but it takes another 15 minutes to store the vaccine sputnik these stored at minus 18 degrees c. And developer say thats an advantage compared to other countries vaccines requiring significantly lower temperatures for storage after the injection doctors monitor you for 30 minutes before youre free to go. Im a teacher i think the vaccination is a great way to protect myself and most importantly my relatives my parents are all right the 65 was also its free actually i was initially examined by a doctor he asked if i had any chronic diseases measured my Blood Pressure looked at my Electronic Medical record that i was allowed to undergo the procedure everything was fast course i received the text saying that i can be one of the 1st for the vaccination im so glad and i trust the vaccine in this matter to me oh yes i had doubts but ive made my decision and im here today the vaccine is now being supplied to all corners of the country at the same time the military is receiving sputnik v. T. In russia the co the 1000. 00 job is voluntary and free of charge and even though some people still remain skeptical about the safety and efficiency of the vaccine most agree that large scale works a nation is probably the only way now to put an end to the pandemic. You leadership of our own see. This week the u. S. Appeared to shift its gaze away from russia and stirred setting its sights firmly on china after u. S. Intel chiefs identified beijing as washingtons biggest threat it comes after a member of the u. S. Intelligence committee was targeted by a suspected chinese spy my god if digs deeper. So trumps out and the russia gate thing is slamming shut behind him because theres a new scare story in town china you know it doesnt take long to dig up dirt in a town Like Washington q us democrat representative Eric Swalwell until now moves through well this crist so far the evidence is one contradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the ukrainians to help them choose an election this time around its his links to a suspected chinese spy who is in the stink not least because and this is awkward he sits on the House Intelligence Committee not the only shall be removed from the intel he should be removed from congress as well yes House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy there spotted an opportunity to claim his 1st victim so the background in a nutshell swalwell hod a Chinese National called fang fag in his early political career and this person quickly started raising suspicions within the Intel Community he got rid of her but his recently refused to answer whether he slept with her which probably means yes but before we burn mr swalwell at the stake at sea were out might have to join him once this chinese witch hunt really Gains Momentum youve got a feel for Mitch Mcconnell he survived the title most good image but can he now survive the fact that is wife secretary of transportation elaine chao is from one of chinas most prominent political families that would be one hell of a honey trap and you and jean shall have served on the board of the Holding Company for chinas teach to build in a state owned enterprise that makes chips for the chinese military. Is also on the board at the bank of china and top lender to the ship builder remember also the former speaker of the house john boehner aka the original orange man is there is the high. Republicans actually give john boehner a harder time than they give me. Which means orange really is the new black. These days the former speaker of the house just happens to be a lot b. Is for a certain peoples republic of china is this guy aggie purdie chief Security Officer who are way the u. S. Is really china on a number of issues and they want to hurt one way to hurt china very afraid of the competition between china and the u. S. So theyre focusing on hurting while way before getting professionally agri for you our way for a living and you purdy was a member of the white house start team that helped draft the u. S. National strategy to secure cyberspace this is just the tip of the iceberg therefore the head of u. S. Intelligence has declared open season on beijing calling it threat number one if i could communicate one thing to the American People it is that the peoples republic of china poses the greatest threat to America Today and the greatest threat to democracy and Freedom Worldwide since world war 2 what they might find is that there arent many politicians left who dont have links to this new enemy because they used to be friends really is getting hard to keep up. Pink floyd cofounder roger waters has been putting the world to rights on the latest edition of arties going underground among the targets and his science was the recent us election you can watch the full interview on our website but for now heres a short sample. Dave if trump had been reelected it would have been worse for everyone in the world but that doesnt make biden a good candidate biden is a dyed in the wool were among grating servant of the oligarchy that rules the United States american will continue to be so for however long he remains president of the United States hes not to be trusted on anything do you think joe biden is going to move the American Embassy back to tell the v. A. Are you kidding hes made it quite clear that hes the staunchest zionist friend of. Of israel that could possibly be in office so i hope that he and kids start a happy sleeping in that caught that theyre going to share for the next few years kiss our as a term of 8 or of them having any power under any circumstances because they are clearly not clear thinkers they clearly dont believe in human rights they clearly have no interest in the law to have no interest in the United Nations they have no interest in the geneva conventions they have no interest in any of the things that in near to my heart and to your heart should have been completely impartial you have campaigned for upholding of Un Security Council resolution resolutions all your life you dont expect biden to reverse the trump position on the Golan Heights the illegal declaration by the United States is going to oppose the Un Security Council resolution making out that it was israeli now of course not i dont expect him to. Reverse any of that nonsense i expect him to absolute they abide by the deal of the century obviously im pretty happy that skinny piece of. No. Cushion or is no longer in the white house pretending to film Foreign Policy for the middle east. Still i have every american would get 3000. 00 if us billionaires share about the profits they made during the pandemic details on that story and more after the short break. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe from. The isolation pool community. Are you going the right way or are you being led so. Direct. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or inmate in the shallowness. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Welcome back a british newspaper has claimed that alex ian of ali it was poisoned with never chuck not once but twice before being airlifted from siberia to germany the time cited unnamed intelligence sources as saying the would be assassins trying to finish off the opposition figure while he was in a coma but failed German Security sources have told their associates in the u. K. That the attack was struck again as in the valley in an induced coma before being put on a medical flights to germany this was with a view to him being dead by the time he arrived in berlin one source said of ali fell ill during a domestic flight on august 20th the pilot made an Emergency Landing in square the politician was put into an induced coma 2 days later he was flown to berlin where a military lab concluded that he had been poisoned with a nerve agent from the no we choked group western governments were quick to point the finger at the kremlin which has denied any involvement also demanding access to the lab results of all the is still in germany and now appears to be on the road to a full recovery. So we can now bring a live political commentator ike harmer for more on this now not only seems to be doing very well judging by his social media activity at least does this seem like a person who has been given a deadly poison twice and no not at all this is this really makes it even less believable. The germans have told the public what should have happened where do you think this claim is coming from then. Well i think this is in a bigger context and the bigger context geopolitical thinks is the biggest friends of germany or socalled friends dont want closer relationship between germany and russia and they didnt have many things at the minute so no money probably was the occasion to poison the relationship between russia and germany again and secondly in germany there are many people from russia who had trouble with the law in russia and are now sitting in germany and calling for revenge and they are very close and they have pretty close ties to the people in the high stuff so i think there are 2 things to lead to this really ridiculous story and now they are start with with the with these pictures issues they made and they have no prove at all on the story the claim is of a 2nd poison coming from the claim is that German Security sources who apparently told their associates in the u. K. Its all very 6 degrees of separation here its anonymous and the information is at best thirdhand does this sound like solid reporting well it sounds so ridiculous it sounds somebodys hear from somebody or you had something from a friend so its nothing and whenever you ask for a proof whenever you ask for a label information they say sorry we cant handle it over either it is classified or it is it is not for you or whatever this is ridiculous this i think they dont know how to get out of this story and they just dig themselves far into it and of course theres been a many questions about the north stream to a pipeline project when its all been talking about the bomb the and what not to think that theres any chance of that being called off still. Well yes i think so because the reality shows that europe needs the gas europe needs the infrastructure to get gas wherever they are on the world they saw that relying on their partners from overseas is a pretty tough thing because they put our sanctions on germany the americans but im sentient and germany just like whatever just out of nothing so when you really try to rely your economy on a partner that is not reliable so it is just ridiculous but i think there is no plan in berlin at all they are just following orders from somewhere through somewhere that i dont think they have any geopolitical strategy that is valid so this is i think been the last 3 to project will definitely be be finished and is absolutely necessary for for europes Energy Supply so you can the other youre being partners will put a stress on the they will finish this pipeline as you mentioned there there were just as american sanctions theres been huge pressure on germany from the Trump Administration to pull out of the north stream 2 pipeline project expect more of the same from a biden presidency yes definitely because the socalled partners of these so the people who tell the german politicians what to do will stay the same these are unnamed sources as you call it d and the reason if biden is it would be the new president in the us nothing would change at all the only thing there would be biden or beijing by him as they call up now would want a better deal for us his family may be out of it of that so weve been speaking to a political commentator an economist dr i comrade thank you for your time and your comments. Youre welcome and youre. More americans have now died of coded than were lost finding and world war 2 the death toll is now close 2300000 the total number of cases exceeds 16000000. 00 and all the pandemic may be the countrys worst crisis in recent history that hasnt stopped the rich from getting richer and that worth american billionaires has soared by one trillion dollars since march according to a new report is tens of millions of americans suffer from the health and economic river just over these pandemic a few 100 billionaires to their massive fortunes their pandemic profits are so immense that americas billing errors could pay for a major covert relieve bill and still not lose a dime of their provider reste reaches. The Group Americans for tax fairness found that the extra wealth accumulated by billionaires during the pandemic would be enough to dish out 3000. 00 to every single american and thats roughly equal to the entire amount spent by the federal government on health care in 2019 and nearly 4 times that more than the stimulus payments made earlier this year to 159000000. 00 americans now the report included some 651 billionaires that we can look at just a few of them the wealthiest of course is jeff bezos who is now worth over 180000000000. 00 which is more than the g. D. P. Of iraq elon musks wealth grew almost 6 fold during the pandemic while Mark Zuckerberg almost doubled his musket and zuckerberg are worth more than 100000000000. 00 our guest abraded profiting from a pandemic. Always love these kinds of analyses is it the government has a day or 6 not going into drugs from the government theres nothing naive here the government isnt doing something then as a result the government is itself the result of the way this is science he works which puts enormous wealth and therefore political power in the hands of a very small number of people who will turn out to have a government policy that makes them richer this burst of new wealth is just as surely a product of government policy was unnecessary you know the unintended consequences of lockdowns and such and in this case they call them nonpharmaceutical interventions but theres also capacity limits on businesses are going to be almost the opposite of what we hope for the draconian policies theyve increased the gap. Between the rich and poor that created new controversies of wealth is tremendous consolidation going on right now let me be clear here we could have been prepared for this virus the way other countries where we could have handled it better the way other countries that we left a lot of the private preparation for disease into the hands of private enterprise and markets and they fail as they have failed us so often in the past its a pathetic say heads florrie of a system spinning out of control so that its unjust inequality keeps getting worse the governments inability to get anything right theyre going to do Everything Everything everything wrong in a crisis including decreasing employment crushing firms crushing the engine of employment. All those sorts of things never once even considering maybe factions should be lower i mean a brief from hiatus from certain regulations on that sort of thing we have a monopoly in this country that it for a century we have 2 parties we dont allow 2 businesses that dominate most of our industries but we allow these 2 parties to dominate our politics thats very convenient for the computer they the class of Corporate Directors who donate the bulk of the money to both of them who pull the strings for both of the parties thats been our recap and to some of the stories that helps shape the world these last 7 days for all the latest and up to the minute reports of us on twitter or facebook. The little. Mary was there and said better theres got married another researcher to be. There a barrel. Better is weapon of Mass Communication is spreading in developing n. F. L. Maryland in that way to marinate the dangers of the gender identities if theres any verbal devices more than 12000000000 contaminated conjured if you really dont need to know about that to your mother mary against alternative vision. Asked if you start to question the whole american way expel the air and isolate it can you tell me to marry it up for your Community America undercover and im going to disable outside near the airport if you will get exposed to alqaeda i cant wait for decontamination i was alcohol use is as brave as everything to. Track down where narrow you can defend yourself enjoyed reforms from the weapons of Mass Communications. Their checks for the teen girls fear of the enemy of interfering air. And. Bought a. Gun welcome to worlds apart my guest today likes to say that he takes intellectuals to come up with really stupid ideas ideas that down spread across society its like parasites draining the host organism and making him behave in strange and sometimes even south in danger in ways from identity politics to Council Culture to now emerging called big bang teenage always how do you seemingly normal compositions turn toxic well to discuss that im now joined by god saad a professor in marketing at Concordia University and author of the newly released book the parasitic mind how infectious ideas killing commonsense chris aside its a great pleasure for me to talk to thank you very much for making the time thank you so much for having me cheers now ive mentioned some examples of what you call idea pathogens thoughts that seem to be well intentioned at least initially until you recognise that they pave the way to how what are some others so also modernism is probably the ground daddy of all idea just because it reports that there are no absolute truths we are completely shackled by subjectivity we are shackled by our personal biases and as you might imagine there is a kernel of truth to that idea but when taken to the extreme it becomes very antiscientific because scientists do wake up every day under the working presumption that there are truths to be discovered so was modernism would be one feminism would be another it starts off as a great idea
