drug or a placebo our senior correspondent has been taking a closer look at the. 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 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
1:04 pm
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 idealogical will relate to all disputes brazil is in an awful situation 150000 coronavirus dead 2nd only to the united states things on pretty that korea's lives the economy and the election all hinge on that vaccine no wonder trump has been flooding pharmaceutical jobs 7 with billions urging them to do fast and foster 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
1:05 pm
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 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'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 simple thing a jab to save millions of lives would turn into a bit of free for all of origin and money name and preach the advantage and
1:06 pm
reelection let's just hope that efficiency and public health also get a little consideration mark ellman director of the crisis research institute in oxford gave us his take on the hunt for a vaccine he say's there are huge political and business interests. the bigger problem all round is that unlike all creepiest attempts to develop vaccines for such dangerous diseases these are emergency measures being taken so there's obviously going to an element of greater risk anything that can reassure people that everything is being done in the open transparent way it's probably the best policy the problem obviously is strong stand that there are extra christian commercial military regimes from competing produces a pack seems now that they don't necessarily want to real information that could be helpful to rival the amazon. erap scene into production is overwhelming poaching that's true pick this is what we do see it legitimization all
1:07 pm
this issue it's a bit but space race it's a 6 years ago to get the 1st 2 facts to have a huge boost 'd their standing as a country in terms of what we are as well and also it was partially that. france is pressuring social media giants to stamp out extremism online the government has summoned representatives of facebook twitter and other firms to explain why so-called cyber islam isn't is being allowed to spread on their platforms. 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 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 on social media
1:08 pm
platforms some 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 way 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 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 are social media giants doing their bit the things that are being posted inciting
1:09 pm
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 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. asked to come up with colquitt proposals about cyber islam isn't 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 in front of their phones or computers france has already tried to combat hate speech online with the hour feel all its no thought
1:10 pm
aspects of tackling hate speech could also be included in khan's new trough 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 all been criticized for helping extremist groups recruit and radicalize people with high capturing 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 spoke to the french author of a number of acclaim books on terrorism who believes it's up to the authorities 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
1:11 pm
have to really make an effort into identifying the hate speech is. the operations and plays the demands 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 in various postings to they will take but it might be too late people download them they recycle them it's really complicated has to be done at the ground level. covert 19 dodgy dealings on bullies in north korea just some of the topics donald trump and joe biden clashed over in the final presidential debates but those 2 were not the only ones in the spotlight some 90 minutes before the events a former associate of biden's son hunter spoke out quarter texas through the night
1:12 pm
that was. 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 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 while 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 this scandal most interesting involves a now bankrupt chinese energy company that hunter's business venture was allegedly
1:13 pm
collecting millions of dollars from every year now i 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 to 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 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 shed that what
1:14 pm
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 wish 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. he left us a mess which he said is a bunch of garbage this is a terrible thing it is jennifer roback i think he called me a racist even the response if 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
1:15 pm
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 with some of the reaction we got to last night was from investigative journalist rick stirling who told us the final debate shied away from the most crucial issues facing the u.s. 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 of brought the out of control military budget and 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 d.

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 covert 1000 cases the caseload recently hits a daily record and to stem the tide new restrictions have been introduced here in moscow years artie's for money. 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

1:20 pm
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 so i asked a number of guests earlier weather forecast is all doom and. 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 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 wealth and create
1:21 pm
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 to 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 with reasoning machine that are able to replace you all month who only human if you can imagine sort of the decision that robots can take are very very basic yes they can work in one of our can change that yes they can working. sector where there is a repetitive task they would not for complex so aware of we need their exploited 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 without huge number i'm optimistic that there would be still jobs for your money so robots will not replace the human
