puts the country's green pledge is in the spotlight. we speak to lycos, anxious for a mind to get the gray not to step forward. rarely for technology and everything else. the mind should go ahead, networks and money to get to your good prototype sort of coming in as well to assist and also educate to the kids in a very deprived area of the u. k. ah . hi, good morning. he's got an 8 o'clock in the russian capital you watching out international . now the british medical journal has published a whistleblower report claim the we're serious flaws and fives is coded faxing trials last year. the researcher behind the claim says that she was fired the same day. she raised her concerns and also says to that, u. s. authorities are refusing to investigate with more details, his ego, she done. so all these revelations, they have been published at the british medical journal, a very respected science paper, not some tabloid, that has a history or well is known for publishing some unverified information. and so that article it details the allegations of a whistle blow of a woman who used to be part used to be with a contractor with a company called van tarver. so what does this vin tarver your firm has anything to do with the pfizer and it's vaccine you might ask? so it all goes back to the 3rd phase of clinical trials on the vaccine. some might argue that it's the most important phase. so pfizer, to do these trials, it hired a number of firms and a number of contractors. and so these contractor companies, they were responsible for the, for the trials in total phases, vaccine was tested on more than $40000.00 subjects. in fact, the numbers closer to 44000 and this vin 12, your firm was responsible to conducting trials on about a 1000 of people. and so this whistleblower, she claims that she has observed some negligence. some are well, some violations during those trials. for example, according to the allegations, participants were placed in a hallway after that receiving the job. so instead of getting proper medical attention, they were somewhere in the hallway on top of that, she's accused batavia of a lack of timely follow up on patients who showed some severe symptoms which could be interpreted as well. side effects of the vaccine that they're using. the word or the british medical journal is using the word adverse events in relation to the symptoms to these will potential side effects. also protocol deviations were not being reported according to the allegations. the vaccines were apparently not stored at proper temperatures, and this is crucial for 5 for the 5 the vaccine because, well, it has to be stored at a very particular temperature, very low temperature. this is something that makes the transportation of this vaccine, particularly challenging. also are the whistleblower reported mislabeled laboratory specimens and apparently vent avia targeted those members of staff who will try to blow the whistle and try to bring to light. these are these discrepancies or these instances and the. 2 whistleblower saying that she was victim over such targeting that she was fired after she tried to bring to light these allegations. so when, according to her, the company or when these allegations 1st fell on deaf ears or within the company, she assembled them. she put them together and sent them all to the da, the u. s. agency, a governmental body responsible for giving the approval for the emergency use of vaccine. and this is the response she got herbalists. within hours, jackson received an e mail from the if da, thanking her for her concerns, and notifying her that the f. d. a could not comment on any investigation that might result. a few days later, jackson received a call from an f da inspector to discuss her report, but was told that no further information could be provided. she heard nothing further in relation to her report. well, given what we've just had, it could have been world seen as an optimistic sign for this whistleblower, you know, company, the old brother, the da getting back to her the very same day. and obviously she comes across as a very concerned person. and on top of that, all of this happened in september last year, which is important because that's before 5, the phases vaccine got the approval of the of da. so well, the only logical assumption that would be is that the of the i will look into these claims address them and well make a decision whether or not they were important. ah, but in december, same year, the price of vaccine god. oh god, the well it, it was recognized, it was recommended for emergency use by the f d 8. and the of the a did not address any of the allegations have listened to or to, apart from the article in the british medical journal. been phases, briefing documents submitted to an f. d, a advisory committee meeting held on the 10th of december 2020 to discuss pfizer application for emergency youth authorization of its cove at night in vaccine. the company made no mention of problems at the vent, obvious site. the next day, the fda issued the authorization of the vaccine. we have of course, reached out to pfizer entire via the as d. opposed to well to find out their opinion on this as to may be why they believe that these claims should be, should they should be taken into account that their unimportant. but we're still to hear back from then or from them and are well, i guess the only are the only logical outtake from the story would be listened to your doctor before. well, you know, putting anything in your body because dawn of the will. we spoke to reading university micro biologist, doctor simon clark about this. he says, he's concerned that the allegations could lower the public's trust in the vaccine. biggest problem for potential problem with, with this article in the bridge medical journal, it would affect or could affect public confidence in the vaccines when really should a mistake to happen. but it's important to, to, to acknowledge that when you know mistakes it's happened. you recall, take new, acknowledge it, and deal with it. this could happen with any that said, no, just actually people should remember that many, many millions of people around the world have this vaccine. and it's effective out it's not. america's reputation on the world stage is suffering apparently with widespread negative views of its democratic processes, as well as its health care system. at least according to a recent survey conducted in 17 countries. it does save it almost 50 percent. do believe that the us health care system is below average, while 18 percent. consider it the worst among developed nations and almost 40 percent. they believe that the u. s. government didn't handle the code crisis well enough, but we talked to ex congressmen, wrong. paul, who believes that the problem with the us health care system is that it's under the influence of big corporations. been made much, much worse with a pandemic because i think all the policy is essentially we're sensually wrong on this walk down business and spending all this money and interfering with the practice of medicine. punishing people who wanted to have a debate on the care like we have for ever. so it's that that has made it much, much worse. and it's going to get much worse to if we don't release the freedom that the doctors need. but you can't let the corporations run most. now, most doctors work for corporation, they're not independent. i was totally independent by patients and i made all the decision. but that's not the case. now, what we have now is a corporate state. corporations are very, very powerful of they influence it. so it's not the people really voting. it's really the corporations that run things. so the corporations run medicine. they run the military industrial complex, they run all our schools now. so we're a long way off from what people think is democracy. know we're a long way off from freedom. we have now a reflection of democracy because the people with a lot of money and control the monetary system. so no, we deserve a lot of that criticism, but it's, it's, it's unfortunately a whole philosophy of government that has come out of our universities teaching this corporatism him on an eviction for drug companies. a california judge has ruled that for manufacturers can't be held responsible for the states opioid crisis . he says there's no evidence that the rise in prescriptions was dancing, misleading marketing, and his thought that the ruling could set a precedent for similar cases. in other states to we got the thoughts of j bradshaw who became addicted to the pills. he was prescribed. it sets a very dangerous precedent, and more importantly it's, it's sad. this is, this is becoming in america, the very common knowledge that companies like purdue pharma, sat around a board room table and made a decision to target blue collar areas in america. areas like southern ohio, eastern kentucky, west virginia, because they knew that their new powerful prescription opioid would flourish, their well, the k smart, the 1st trial wind for drug company, you know, in over 3 fans and blue seats. it was filed over a crisis which claimed the lives of half a 1000000 people in the us in 20 years. previous administration declared a nationwide emergency after the number of people to overdose. death did rise 6 times among americans in 2020 alone more than 9000000 people were victims of p. o misuse, including teenagers, and also adults, majority of which were prescribed medicine, mostly pain relief is j, brun. sure again says that the court ruling leads the vulnerable with no justice. i can remember being 1718 years old and having a very minor injury and you know, being prescribed 40 milligrams of oxy cotton for injuries like that. there's, i don't think there is a government or a doctor or any medical professional who would call that reasonable. we've got millions of people whose lives have been affected by this. here we are years later knowing what we know. and we're still unable in court to provide these families with, with some kind of justice for loved ones that they've lost or loved ones that are still struggling. it's, it's, it's a travesty. i pose have closed in the u. s. state of virginia, wherever her governor could gauge high democrats will fair. in next year's mid term elections with 97 percent of the counted, the republican candidate, glenn young kin is in the lead to. let's get more information on this than cross live to the safe center, cal mop and he's tied man, he's been following events happening there in virginia kelly. does it look like then the republican candidate has got this victory in the bag. that seems to be how media is projecting at this point. it looks pretty clear that glen young can is going to be the winner of the race in virginia. now we're still waiting for the final tally of the boat and it has certainly tightened in the last several hours. but at this point it would be nothing short of a miracle that would have the republican candidate lose to the democrat terry mcauliffe. it looks like one young can is the winner, and this is quite an upset. the state of virginia where they're voting on the governor. this is considered to be somewhat in the democratic camp. it's not completely solidly in the democratic camp, but northern virginia and other areas are strongholds of democratic party support. however, that started to change this year, largely because of the biden administration, as biden has been in office, we've seen inflation, we've seen very unpopular cobit vaccine mandates. we've seen the unpopular withdrawl and the chaos that resulted from pulling out of afghanistan. and all of this has impacted jo biden's approval rate. at this point, joe biden only has 42 percent of the us public. the say he's doing a good job. meanwhile, 71 percent of americans say that the country is not moving in a good direction. and a new poll among democrats has them saying they are more likely to take the white house in 2024, if they dropped joe biden from the chicken and select a new candidate rather than having him run for reelection. now there have been other close races around the country in new jersey. the republican is doing very well and state that is generally considered to be a stronghold for the democrat. and this all seems to point to the biden administration's failure. biden administration is crashing and burning, it seems, and it's only another year until we have a mid term elections that will determine the fate on capitol hill and the house and the senate. so people are wondering what this night will mean for the biden administration as it's a pretty poor showing for the candidates who are aligned with them. a good night, gordon. g o. p. does seem that way, does it? okay, thanks. can i kind of morphing reporting my promises to protect the earth. forrest ambitious goals of net 0 by 2050, and doling at catch to south africa to help it. and it's relying on coal. b. u. n. climate summit in scotland is ratcheting up the same to save the planet with britain's prime minister boris johnson. also taking the lead while drawing attention to the case own climate commitments. when a recent report does reveal that around 40 fossil fuel projects, though, are seeking approval in the u. k. in the next 4 years, which if approved are said to nearly triple the country's yearly greenhouse gas emissions. and there's an ongoing dispute to over a planned new coal mine in the north west of england, which bars johnson says he doesn't support but insisted is not up for him to deal with me. sir rally has more tons being explored for the 1st coal mine to be opened in the u. k. in 30 years here in the coastal town of white haven in northwest england. just a 140 miles north from here. the cop 26 summit in claws goes in full swing the u. k . of course, hosting that summit, the critic say it sends out the completely wrong message for the hosts to be giving the green light to this coal mine. while at the same time preaching the green message to the rest of the world, the u. k. government has decided not to intervene with the plans of opening a brand new english coal mine. this really shows the true meaning of so called net 02050. these leg insufficient targets long into the future, basically mean nothing to day, but contrary to what some make spect given phase as a potential air pollution, the locals are quite happy to have it. many of them think it could spark a much needed economic revival. usa stepped forward, really for technology and everything else. the mind should go ahead. it will be mind in the safest, cleanest greyness way it can possibly be done the same as it is. use your mani, nadia and i know for many, many years now it's all gone. we journey jobs in the area is notice in line until it's here that prototypes are coming in as well to assist and also educate to the kids in a very deprived area of the okay. and that's what's needed to drive the future to drive education and support the kids. a local campaign is in support of the mind, say that coaching coal, which is used to manufacture steel rather than generate energy, is being unfairly maligned by green activists. this is just another piece of the puzzle. got as green greenly we. we are an environmental area. we understand what the problems are when there's no denial. if there's an issue that is a problem. we've got nuclear, we've got winds, we've got a hydro uh that will be coming to some point in the future. and thankfully, if we get this my going as a will be taken a coca cola from over there instead transport it from america, which is couldn't we? what was it on to think that young cutty seldom is that we shouldn't open them. i went by and all the coal of it is a bit hypocritical west cumbria mining. the company in charge argues that the project will be the world's 1st net 0 mythological coal mine in the world. ministers of argued in favor of the project from an economic perspective, as well as an environmental one to a very small as i am, stand quite specialist for form of coal that's being that would be produced there. and we'll have a negligible impact ons of the global coal usage. we need to transition our existing oil and gas sector to a d carbon ice platform. what others want to see is a complete eclipse and shutting down of oil and gas with 250000 jobs vanishing overnight. the u. k. government, on the pressure from climate groups intervened and ordered an inquiry by a planning inspector local my refutes any objections. however, saying coaching call from the mine would drive forward green energy project. he also insists that the projects will revive the local economy off the curve. it ma'am, i think you've got to look at the united kingdom as a whole and we're responsible for just all the one percent of the entire world, carbon emissions on this. mine will be responsible for north point one percent of that one percent the mine will have a huge positive economic impact on the, on the area. eci i chuckle meant investment issues. private money coming in. are you talking 160000000 pound intention? what's a relatively small community at? i'll create 500 direct jobs that are with the spin off of 1500 supply chain jobs that will transform people's lives in this area. being quieter results. the jew at the end of the year, well off to the climate debate has moved elsewhere. bars, johnson said at cop 26, that he didn't support the opening of the mind, but that he would leave it to the planning committees to the side. an indication perhaps of his own desire to not get dragged into a row with a local community desperate for the area once again to see economic regeneration. the sally all see in white haven cumbria or we spoke to an environmental journalist on whether the british government is actually sticking to its green initiatives and pledges to drop fossil fuels. u. k. presidency of copies seriously undermined by the government phone actions in the united kingdom. government have agreed that it will not fund new fossil fuels by itself. however, theme united kingdom's financial industry and the financial industry globally, will i be able to continue to invest in fossil chills, investment by the united kingdom in global fossil fuels, amounts to 15 percent of global investments. and that's where the united kingdom's record is really terrible. in that it's a center for global finance, for fossil fuels, for facilities after for our credibility of the presidency of the, of the call. now the climate of fear that say killing description of life inside the case, national broadcast of the bbc from the latest investigation by the daily mail or the newspaper spoke to several employees including a former senior bbc manager. he said that doing journalism is a challenge when you have to look over your shoulder. we're fighting our own culture wall in the corporation. you live with the realization that if i put a foot wrong, the mob will descend. that is a huge level of fear within the organization where people thinking that the going to be the next to get monster. so i'm the broadcasting regulatory body. they're afraid of 5 internal stars networks. he filled the hold in to the climate of woocommerce. i'm getting the p. c valid rights. not only a story is being changed or adapted, but sama apparently even being dropped. but why does it leave the state for carstairs, journalism and free presses a home? this is a nice man. well, and very, very bodily for the bbc. literally there are people who think we should stop bunning woods, they don't lie compelling viewpoints. they don't like the lots of things we hear in journalism that we don't agree with. that's the whole bloody point, isn't it? while the baby see says it's editors have a responsibility to st. diversity of opinion. it's a slippery slope for some journalists who say this so called mob rule if they got it wrong. take last month's example where it publish an article, suggesting a handful of lesbians felt pressured into sex. my son, trans women. well, 20000 people signed an open letter calling on the pdc to apologize dubbing it trans phobic and poorly evidenced was to be receive moped or was that b b. c, misrepresenting the facts? well, the v b c journalist behind the very story apparently had to fight like hell against internal opposition to get it published. so surely they must have seen something coming. but have editorial lines become so blurred now that the bead may ends up like the new york times, with some even quitting the channel for goods. stories had chosen and tall in a way to satisfy the merest of audiences rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions. my own forays into wrong thing have made me this subject of constant bowling by colleagues who disagree with my views. they have called me uneasy and arrest janice, of course, have a duty to be impartial, sensitive and respectful. but when it comes to identity politics, the cultural war means whatever, turn the say or do they also can't get it right. as they will always offend someone somewhere. shot at which dashti reporting that will we discuss the situation with jonas and broadcast in the o'clock. he says that the purpose of journalism is always been to show all sides of the story, not just the pleasing one. my job as a reporter is to basically park away to one side, my political views, my views, social hues, whatever and report what is happening and report the story. and in that case, you have to make sure that both sides are given. that you, you see both sides of it. you get your wide range of opinions when you put your film together or your, or your documentary together. and i think that distinctions been lost. and that's the problem with this ultra woke goodness is that there are these issues where there is no consensus. a lot of the time, it's almost like it's a case now when you can't have that opinion, that's outside the parameters. things of train. britton's changed and newsrooms have to reflect that, that we really need to have put, you know, the, the widest possible opinions out there, and not seek to, to, to restrict our coverage, basically only taking only taking the one. i'm not university of vienna. austria has spark controversy among students by introducing fast lane stickers allowing those who have been vaccinated against cove. it to skip entry controls. he feels a little bit like her. they're pushing her store to get vaccinated them. i really don't like this because i in other way i will be definitely the vaccinate authority. but right now i don't like these fresh i don't like everything now either to get nexus a lever in the barsha with this is a student id, elo stick out to go on with it. you can get faster for university controls or if we have 2.5, g control measures here. but in reality, there is not much difference. it just helps you to get in faster. this week is can, i can alter for a student group, describe the system as the public shaming of the unvaccinated and said it's pushing division at the university absolute. it is absolutely discriminatory and, and humane and a very clear move towards a 2 class society. we criticize the fact that people are excluded from society simply because they exercise their free choice not to be vaccinated. a step further, the labeling of people who have made a free decision not to be vaccinated. it doesn't matter whether this is done with ribbons as we have seen in the past, or we've wristbands which is currently being done in germany and in some cases already in austria or with vaccination stickers, as is currently the case at the university of economics and business administration, we can only condemn it and call it a hostile and inhuman policy when people are marked based on their health condition or their vaccination status, those who have decided not to be vaccinated will not be persuaded by an increase in pressure, but through education, vaccinated people should be treated the university just like they were treated before the con demik access to higher education should be open and free without any restrictions, but it's, it's almost well according to the university around 90 percent of students are vaccinated and the fast lane system will make it easier for them to enter, they can voluntarily receive the sticker, and for the unvaccinated, it's still possible to show valid proof of health to get in. think it makes life easier for the students. in also, more than 80 percent of the university students have been vaccinated and they can enter the lectures faster if they have this because you only have to check their identity. one has to ensure a safe environment in the lecture halls. and in order to do so, it is necessary to vaccinate or test that the students are free in austria, so they don't have to pay for the tests, but they wouldn't have to pay for the vaccination. so i would recommend to be vaccinated. that's the safest way out to meet the extra holes that bring trip to night. though, news at this hour this wednesday morning,
