a former associate speaks out right before the u.s. presidential debate accusing joe biden of lying. first to knowledge about this because i directly dealt with the biden family including joe biden. a very warm welcome you're watching r t international with mina karan. thapar room has decided not to buy up doses of a potential coronavirus vaccine being developed by the british firm astra zeneca lima started a lack of data from the company after the death of a trial volunteer a man in brazil reportedly a 28 year old doctor passed away after taking part in phase 3 trials run by astra zeneca and oxford university is not known whether he received the actual drug or a placebo our senior correspondent mark takes

a closer look. 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 are waiting brazil for example whose president has said he wants the british vaccine in contrast to his own health ministry which wanted 46000000 doses of the chinese vaccine for my government any vaccine before being made available to the population must be scientifically proven by the health ministry and certified by the national 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

the electoral process. that saves it is the vaccine we don't want a new government will go to congress and to cool to ensure that the population has access to all vaccines that are efficient and safe health is a big arrested an ideological troll disputes brazil is in an awful situation 150000 coronavirus dead 2nd only to the united states things on pretty that careers and lives the economy and the election all hinge on that vaccine no wonder trump has been flooding pharmaceutical giants with billions urging them to do foster and thought 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 a chasm in opinion people want need a vaccine but they want one that works not one that makes the most money not $1.00

that stumbled and struggled through trials and especially not one made to save the president's korea he 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 back seat 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 should take it 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 a 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

a little consideration michael mann's director of the crisis research institute in oxford gave us his take on the hunt for a vaccine he says there are huge political and business interests at stake. the bigger problem all round is that unlike all creepiest attempts to develop vaccines for such dangerous diseases these are not emergency measures being taken so there's obviously going to an element of greater risk anything that can reassure people that everything has been done in an open transparent way is probably the best policy the problem obviously is some extent that there are extra christian commercial motivations from competing produces a pax seems now that they don't necessarily want to real information that could be helpful to rival the amazon or the rap scene into production is overwhelming vote that's true this is what 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 in a country translate what we are well. it was partial. france's pressuring social media trying to stamp out extremism online the government has summoned representatives of facebook twitter and other phones to explain my circle of 5 by islam islam is being allowed to spread on their platforms child tibetans can report from paris. it's hard to take stock in the wake of. beheading social media giants have become. 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 social media platforms so patty 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 and a call. 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 social media giants doing their bit the things that are being posted the. hatred 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. should block such posts and there should be more people moderating all the content social media joints 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. to come up with concrete proposals about cyber islam is a he said to delusions islamist ideology spread widely on social networks whole generation of young people i mean rediculus that home alone in their rooms runs on their phones or computers france has already tried to combat hate speech online with the feel law it's now thought aspects of tackling hate speech could also be included in khan's new draft bill to fight separatism some argue it's nought to

morag elation that's needed the problem lies with how it's being enforced social media giants have 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 french journalist alex jordan of author of a number of acclaimed books on terrorism believes it's up to the off party to take action. more should be done from the secret services i mean de france has a in a place called blade it will outside of the big ears or and this is where you you have to really make an effort into identifying the hate speech is.

the operations and plays the merits of vengeance on this information travelling on in cyberspace has to be controlled at that level for us i don't think the the social media companies can can can do much besides you know. try and money to allay keywords and values postings that they will take of but it might be too late people download them they recycle them it's really complicated has to be done at the ground level. 19 dodgy dealings on bullies in north korea to some of the topics donald trump and joe biden clashed over in the final presidential debate but those who were not but those were not the only 2 in the spotlight because as 90 minutes before the event a former associate of biden's son hunter spoke out don course i have the details but one of the main stars of the debate was definitely the scandalous elephant in the room the topic of hunter biden sketchy overseas business dealings just last

week we saw a bombshell report from the new york post claiming that the e-mails found on hunter biden's laptop proved that his father joe biden had been in the know about these stealing something that the former vice president has always denied and then just 90 minutes before the debate an x. business partner of hunter biden tony actually said that joe biden was lying through his teeth about this i've heard joe biden say that is never discussed business with hunter. that is false busy. i have firsthand knowledge about this because i directly dealt with the biden family including joe biden well i just 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 the scandal most interesting involves a now bankrupt chinese energy company that hunter's business venture was allegedly collecting millions of dollars from every year now i also said that joe biden was

specifically mentioned in these emails 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 debates the e-mails the horrible evils of the kind of money that you were raking in you and your family and joe you will vice president when some of this was happening and i think you owe an explanation to the american people i did my job you probably 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 shed 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 where he's 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 this wasn't the only point of contention throughout the debate though it's been a very bitter presidential race between biden and trump and neither could help themselves for more name calling if i thought you did a good job i would have never run anyone whose response to that. 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 jennifer roback i think he called me a racist even a response if he isn't a phobic come on joe you could do better you said i tape 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 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 and investigative journalist rick starling told us the final debate side away from the most crucial issues facing the u.s. but you know if we look at the debates overall i mean there were only 2 debates and there was almost nothing on foreign policy there was nothing on issues of substance the u.s. occupation so broad the out of control military budget the deficit this year is projected to be 3 trillion dollars that's 9000000000 dollars a day none of these issues are being are being addressed the infrastructure that promised he was going to build but by reducing the wars abroad those things haven't happened on the other side we've got joe biden who is

a proven member of the establishment so we're in a we're in a bad place there are no good choices from my perspective. russia like most of europe is seeing a surge in 19 cases the caseload recently had a daily record and just on the times new restrictions have been introduced. ramon kozyrev has the details. russia is bracing for a 2nd coronavirus wave as fresh coleridge numbers continue breaking records across the country and in moscow while stopping short of introducing a lockdown measures the mayor's office has announced new rules and guidelines in an effort to keep people safe and keep the economy going. first of all employers are now required to send 30 percent of their force to work from home and they must report who works for mostly and who doesn't students in middle and high schools have switched to distance learning and everyone must wear masks and gloves in all

public places like shops and public transport and those who don't follow the antique code measures will be fined. millions of people use the moscow subway every day and with several stations added each year that number continues to grow and metro authorities are doing all they can to ensure the safety of passengers from coronavirus everyone using the system is required to wear protective gear at all times and that rule is being various quickly enforced each subway car is disinfected once it reaches the depot now and you're trains have a built in ultraviolet dickenson the nation system so all it needs are a pair of good hands and some good chemicals as well. the entertainment industry was one of the most affected during the pandemic following at su months logs are imposed by the moscow authorities earlier this year many restaurants and bars either went out of business or closed down for renovations well the situation is

with a shutdown is now over but call that numbers are once again on the rise this time that story it sees have decided on this softer approach focusing on contact tracing while keeping this kind of business running now let's see exactly how it works when we walk into this bar. listen to. that's it i am now checked in and i'm ready to go listen to some music and to party just a little bit. yes it would be a slow day to try to skirt system for the 1st time it wasn't so bad going to end up in the foreign teen was tough for us we're really happy this time they found another way we were afraid of being closed again riaz the musicians to remind our

own customs to keep wearing masks and maintain social distancing. we try to explain to our visitors if you want us to stay open and if you love us just follow the rules of course they go along with it. the robot revolution is why thing out jobs at a faster rate than ever according to a new report by the world economic forum machines will carry out half of all human jobs within 5 years and the pandemic is an exhilarating the trend is estimated that automation will leave 85000000 people out of work by 2025 world wide although 97000000 new roles are predicted to emerge in the form of managing director say sperms will have to quickly adapt. 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 earlier on my colleague last august's one of the forecasters all doom

and gloom. the prediction is 85000000 job losses it's a number is staggering just to get your head to run 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 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 out on a much reasoning machine that are able to replace you all month poorly human and if you can imagine sort of the decision that robots can take are very very basic yes they can work in manufacturing chain but yes they can working dogs or sector where there is a repetitive task they would not for complex aware of we need their explorer human contribution 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 dropped more jobs created for the human scene now monitoring in supervising these reports of the really highly skilled people at the top of the pyramid again to be salt or what. what will they

do that will be a layer it will also do repairs to it's all so they could be replaced but that's not the enormous group who aren't necessarily highly valued book doing very hands on work we're talking about nurses we're talking about care workers we're talking about but also we're talking about wages those people won't be replaced new florida and used this robotic revolution. those of us that work will stay out of work and those who've 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 employed do have a basic income new jobs open up by this new technological jobs we need to begin training people for those jobs. the u.s. has infuriated china by approving a major arms deal with taiwan the state department is greenlit

a $1800000000.00 worth of weaponry for the territory including missiles and artillery now trying to consider is the self rhode island as part of its sovereign territory as such beijing labels any baling is between washington and taiwan as interference in its internal affairs only a few nations maintain official ties with the region but recently the trumpet ministrations ramped up its support on the chinese foreign ministry has warned of retaliate and he's 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 to endorse seal's 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 sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region china specialist andrew long thinks it's unlikely that a spiritual escalate into a major standoff. a lot see a lot of cuban crisis as it were in the taiwan strait but of course this is absolute absolute lie as far as the genes that said the child is. big clearly. on how the things develop but i think that if push comes to show. of the likely kind of with that geisha will be sensually so us of the ships press or the state department. i don't think that is going to end the the wall because of all this is the 1st time that. the essence of being sold to war.
