insufficient trochaic the lox an american nation of peru rejects purchasing the astra zeneca $916.00. is withheld on a trial volunteer. name to shame to the french government confront social media giants for failing to topple online hate speech in the wake of last week's gruesome a terror attack but it's split opinion on the street. it's very easy to put all the blame on social media and it's up to a person to decide what is problematic or not should block such posts and there should be more people moderating all the current content and concept but i didn't see form of business associates steals the show just 90 minutes before the last

presidential debate accusing the democrats pick nominee joe biden of lying. first hand knowledge about this because i directly don't with the biden family including joe biden. just gone at 11 am here and must come as we look at what's going on around. let's start off the peruvian government house rejected a pot just agreement for the astra zeneca corona virus vaccine and the pharma company has not provided sufficient data from its studies this comes after the death of a young volunteer participating in the trial in brazil at this week it remains unclear whether the volunteer received the actual vaccine or just a placebo a senior correspondent where i got looks deeper into what's been dubbed the race

for a vaccine. 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 university vaccine trial group and is believed to have suffered fatal complications but they're sure it's safe to keep going following careful assessment of this case in brazil there have been no concerns about safety of the clinical trial and the independent review in addition to the brazilian regulator have recommended that the trial should continue there is a race on a race for v. vaccine that works that saves millions of lives and brings in billions of dollars and visits in clinical trial all 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 from my government any vaccine before being made available to the population must be scientifically proven by the health ministry and certified by the national health surveillance 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 isn't only orgy it isn't politics and it isn't
4:04 am
the electoral process that saves it is the vaccine we don't want new governments 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 rancid an ideological all relate to all disputes brazil is in an awful situation 150000 coronavirus dead 2nd only to the united states things on pretty that careers and lives the economy and the election all hinge on that vaccine no wonder trump has been flooding pharmaceutical giants 7 with billions urging them to go faster and faster we have a vaccine that's coming it's ready it's going to be announced within weeks and it's going to be delivered we have operation work speed which is the military is going to distribute the vaccine and just as it brazil there's a divide kassam in opinion people want need
4:05 am
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 career he sed this is the same fellow told you this is going to end by easter last time the same fellow who told you that don't worry we're going to end this by the summer we're about to go into a dark winter. i think it's going to be a very skeptical american public about taking a proxy in and it should be if the doctors tell us that we should take it i'll be the 1st in line to take it absolutely but if donald trump tells us i said to him that we've taken i'm not taking it it was clear from the get go that there would be a race for a vaccine what we didn't consider was how dirty it would be alledge simple thing a jab to save millions of lives would turn into a bit of free for all over origin and money name and profits the advantage and reelection let's just hope that efficiency and public health also get
4:06 am
a little consideration we discussed the issue with mark almond director of the crisis 3000 feet in oxford he said when it comes to vaccines you can't not talk business and politics the bigger problem all round is that creepiest attempts to develop vaccines for such dangerous diseases these are emergency measures being taken so there's obviously going to an element to greater risk anything that can and will people that everything has been done in the open transparent which is probably the best policy the problem obviously is some extent that there are extra christian commercial mutilations from competing produces a pack seems now that they don't necessarily want real information that could be hopeful to rival the amazon or iraq scene into production is over will be pretty true this is where we do sit legitimization over this issue

it's a bit about space race it's 6 years ago to get the 1st 2 facts to have a huge boost their standing as a country in terms of what we are well. it was partial. following the brutal murder of a history teacher in france social media is in the hot seat for failing to tackle hate speech on tuesday the government summoned representatives some from some of the largest tech companies in them to confront cyber is rumors i'm his are too shy to do brands going how social media giants are back in the spotlight. it's a problem to take stock in the wake of. beheading social media giants have come for. those who participated in the public lynching of this teacher there are videos that were posted on social networks are in a way responsible for what happened in the days leading up to the mood of the 47 year old teacher videos inciting hatred against him was shared all social media
4:08 am
platforms party was also targeted by activists online in a hate campaign that went viral whipping up a storm that frances anti terror prosecutor says it was based on lies. it is clear that the teacher was targeted in various ways by social media by these 2 men using a false interpretation of the facts some new party had filed a complaint to the police about the hate campaign but it was not enough to prevent his brutal murder the terrorists who killed him also used twitter to claim responsibility. for. patty it will mange online for 2 hours now have taken on not fight taking twitter to court accusing the social media giant of not doing enough to tackle hate speech online so what do people here think are social media giants doing their bit the things that are being posted inciting
4:09 am
hatred are not normal. should be done to tackle that much more it is very easy to put all the blame on social media it is an instrument for people to use and it's up to a person to decide what is problematic or not do you should block such posts and there should be more people moderating all the content social media giants have also been hauled in front of the government with ministers calling for stricter rules the companies such as facebook google twitter and tick-tock have been. or stick come up with concrete proposals about cyber islam isn't said to do dishes islamist ideology spread widely on social networks whole generation of young people have been radicalized at home alone in their rooms in front of their phones or computers france has already tried to combat hate speech online with the feel it's no
4:10 am
thought specs of tackling hate speech could also be included in khan's new trough bill to fight separatism some argue it's not to morag elation that's needed the problem lies with how it's being enforced social media giants have a long been criticized for helping extremist groups recruit and radicalize people with high catching content for some they can no longer be treated as neutral hosts and dangerous content that can as francis seen recently lead to unspeakable crimes and it's now be treated as a priority. r.t. paris. but we're going to get some insight now from french journalist and author alex to a town of welcome to the program and it's i want to ask you've written an acclaimed book on terrorism you've also got personal experience as a hostage from your research do you think some blame can indeed be laid on social media for not tackling radicalism online in our. well 1st you have to.
4:11 am
make a difference between cyber jihad and cyber terrorism it says 2 different things so have a jihad is more of a propaganda tool and cyber terrorism is a good more technique on. relaying information and data on different operations. to answer specifically to your question yes i mean there's it's really hard to. do the moderating and the monitoring of of social media there's not enough people that have been trained to do som eone you have to think you know what are the keywords and there's also. what the sick the french secret service has a major problem with the language issue i mean the. for example the arab league spoken in. the so-called sensitive neighborhoods is is very
4:12 am
different from the literary arabic which most field agents are using france is hiring a lot of lebanese and egyptian ages because they they started cleaning up the the local crop of field agents and we need and it's it is a problem the language problem is another factor in the infighting cyber jihad you talked there about how sometimes social media can be used as the sort of propaganda tool given there is an issue here with platforms being exploited in the radicalization of well usually young minds. well it's not that they want to be exploited but they are they are bird a fact that there is no all no absolutely no rules and no regulations on. or in cyberspace it's to the state to come up with.
4:13 am
laws and regulations to. prove it like the spread of you know crazy videos or hate propaganda it's it's. it's it's up to the state to impose rules and regulations to your social media companies what i want to start picking up on the role of the state there on a legislative level francaise tackling illegal content online there are some portals where you can report worrying content do you think that's a good system or do you think more should be done and if so what. yes they have to come up i mean but i believe mccormack come up with a new law within 4 or 5 days now that he'll present to the parliament but more should be done from the secret services i mean that france has in a place called bread it will. the big ears for and this is where you you have to really make an effort into identifying. the hate speech is.
4:14 am
the operations and plays the merits of vengeance of this. all this information traveling on in cyberspace has to be controlled at that level 1st i mean. google and apple are not going to i mean i don't see how they can do it and that is that is that. requires firing a lot of people in which they did i mean after 15 attacks the. i think the field agents went from 40029000 in a span of couple years but it's they're going to have to step up. and double the number of analysts or triple them i don't it's beyond my expertise at this point of what they're going to do but if it has to happen at the secret service level 1st i don't think the social media companies can. can do much besides you know.
4:15 am
try and money toward like keywords and various postings that they will take but it might be too late people download them they recycle them it's really complicated has to be done at ground level well it's certainly a topic that requires a lot of resources a lot of manpower going to have to leave it that thank you so much that was a fresh start let's all thought. well but 19 dodgy dealings buddies and north korea just some of the topics donald trump and joe biden clashed over and the final presidential debate but those 2 are not the only ones in the spotlight because just 90 minutes before the event biden's former associate spoke out in a block buster interview well to break this down for us i'm going to cross now tom quote is in the studio with me don this is a much talked about debate everyone is anticipating at talk us through the big
4:16 am
moments but one of the stars of the show is definitely the big scandalous elephant in the room meaning the topic of hunter biden's shady overseas business dealings i mean just last week there was a bombshell report from the new york post that claimed that that the that the e-mails found on hunter by laptop were actually. actually prove that his dad joe was actually in the know about these business dealings and this is something that the former vice president has denied for a very long time for forever actually and it was just 90 minutes before the beginning of the debate tony bubble in ski next business partner of hunter's stole the show and said that actually biden was in the know. joe biden say that is never discussed business with hunter that is false 'd. i have 1st hand knowledge about this because i directly dealt with the biden family including joe biden. well just
4:17 am
that we can get all the details because it's a story that's not been covered a lot in the meeting at the house being a lot of questions raised about that what exactly is involved in this scandal walters basically being accused of corruption he's being accused of receiving a lot of money from a ukrainian company called but the most important part of this scandal most interesting involves the now bankrupt chinese energy company that hunters business venture was allegedly collecting millions of dollars from every year now also said that joe biden was specifically mentioned in these e-mails as the big guy who was set up to have 10 percent of that business venture and that's interesting but it's also very interesting that right after the publication of this article and these e-mails social media giants like facebook and twitter immediately tried to block this information a lot of conservatives have come forward to call this an instance of political bias so naturally trump really tried to bring this drive this point home and during the
4:18 am
debates. the e-mail so horrible even 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 job is 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 he's accusing me of is a russian plane you mean the laptop is now another russia russia russia hoax and you got exactly what does this tell you exactly 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 now admittedly there weren't there wasn't as much insulting as in the 1st presidential debate maybe that's good news for some bad news for others who began to find it entertaining but there were still
4:19 am
a few minutes a few moments of name calling for sure if i thought you did a good job i would have never run anyone whose response to or that many of us should not remain as president of the united states of america they left us a mess what he's saying is a bunch of garbage this is a terrible thing it is then a phobic i think he called me racist even my responses he isn't a phobic come on joe you could do better you said i hate i did show the tape put it on your website put it on it on the website the fact of the matter is you're lying you're all talk and no action give me a break. now as for where we are right now in the presidential elections as of the beginning of the debates already more than $46000000.00 americans had cast their ballots and both campaigns have already said that biden is actually. has an advantage right now in terms of the popular vote but last time this didn't actually win the democrats the election so we will have to see how it pans out sophomore
4:20 am
around $1211.00 days out we're all going to be at the edge of this one many thanks that was donald donald cool to rather have lost my mind head off east india. still to come on the program are all jobs going to be replaced by machines a new report seems to suggest a peek at all keeps us in just a few. banks geysers financial survival guy. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause a report.

jobs within 5 years its research is out at the pandemic is only exciting rating this trend the revolution is tipped to leave millions an estimated 85 in fact out of walk by 2025 but on the other hand 97000000 new roles are also predicted to image the forms of managing director will have to adapt or die if this continues for too much longer there's going to be a big structural change there some of those companies will not be able to last through to the end of this recession and therefore we're looking at more permanent job losses are on my colleague you know neal discussed with our guests whether this full cost is really all doom and gloom. the prediction is 85000000 job losses it's a number is staggering just to get your head around 1st of all if that's true how devastating is it going to be for people's livelihoods it's going to be very devastating you know i was a union lawyer for 26 years and i've seen job losses before mass job losses but
4:23 am
nothing on the scale that is going to have to be part of the future if companies decide to dispense with human labor which is something i don't want to see of course people are going to fall into 3 real groups there's going to be a i just the same with any massive job those that get it we just need to keep out of that why and let them go forward and create a lot of the wealth and create a lot of the new jobs that are going to be out those that could get other people that could be retrained and we need to focus the skills and the retraining on how best we can require these people for the new reality and for the final group will never get it we need to provide some sort of support and we are not that good in creating the out on him with reasoning machines that are able to replace you all month poorly human and if you can imagine some of the decision that robots can take are very very basic yes they can work in manufacturing chain but yes they can work in nodder sector where there is
4:24 am
a repetitive task they would not for complex aware of we need their quick supplied human cognition it said in the article that $97000000.00 jobs will be created by this robot revolution they're talking about the likes of care a big data green economy to name a few it's not overly optimistic there was a huge number but i'm optimistic that there would be still jobs for your money so robots will not replace the human anytime so indeed there would be jobs more jobs created for horrible words but there would be also drop more jobs created for the human scene now monitoring in supervising these reports of the really high skilled people the top of the pyramid again to be salt or what. will they do that will be a layer it will also do repairs and they could be replaced but those are not you know the enormous group who aren't necessarily highly paid but didn't very high end zone work we're talking about nurses we're talking about care workers we're talking
4:25 am
about but also we're talking about wages those people won't be replaced i think new florida and east this robotic revolution. those who have lost their work will stay out of work and those been thrown into poverty will stay in poverty i fear we need to prepare a bike and making sure. that those who are going to be unemployed do have a basic income new jobs are open up by this new technological jobs we need to begin training people for those shops. story for you this hour the u.s. has infuriated china by approving a major arms deal with taiwan the state department has given the green light to a $1800000000.00 of weaponry for the territory including missiles and artillery china considers the self ruled island a part of that separate territory a sought beijing mabel's any dealings between washington and taiwan us into ferrets and it's as only

a few nations maintain official ties with the break way region but recently the trumpet ministrations ramped up its support and the chinese foreign ministry has warned of retaliation is you who we are the united states to recognize the serious damage caused by arms sales to taiwan and to abide by the one trying a principle we were dumb to endorse seals to taiwan and military ties with the territory to avoid further harm to china u.s. relations and to promote peace and stability across the taiwan strait china will give a legitimate and necessary response depending on how the situation develops. the pentagon insists however that boosting taiwan's defense capability is simply a way to deter aggression by other powers the recipient will use this capability is a deterrent to regional threats and to strengthen homeland defense the proposed sell of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region china specialist on true long thinks is unlikely this dispute will escalate
