his fall those running for the white house former associates speak so i just ahead of last night's u.s. presidential debate using. firsthand knowledge about this because i directly dealt with the biden family including joe biden. churning in from right across the world this hour welcome to moscow and to our 2 international unit only with you this news hour. peru has decided not to buy up doses of a potential corona virus vaccine being developed by the british swedish firm astra zeneca lima signed a lot 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 it's not known whether he received the actual drug or a placebo or senior correspondent guess the it has been taking a closer look. there is always the risk with any vaccine any clinical trial that statistical improbability that point not 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 the skis in brazil there have been new 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
4:03 pm
billions of dollars and visits in clinical trial all things go wrong they have astra zeneca whose 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 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
4:04 pm
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 rancid 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 jobs with billions urging them to go fast 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
4:05 pm
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 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 bitter free for all over origin and money name and preach the advantage and reelection let's just hope that efficiency and public health also get a little consideration. to another story we're closely following today francis pressuring social media giants to stump body extremism online the government has summoned representatives of facebook twitter and other firms to explain why so-called cyber islam ism is being allowed to spread on their platforms . that's a problem so take stock in the wake up some new 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
4:07 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 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 n.g.o.s 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
4:08 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. 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. asked to come up with colquitt proposals about cyber islam is a he said to delusions 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 hour fear law it's now thought aspects of tackling hate speech
4:09 pm
could also be included in khan's new draft 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 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 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 you know in a place called. the big ears or and this is where you you have to really make an
4:10 pm
effort into identifying the hate speech is. the operations and plays the merits of vengeance on these information traveling 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 keywords and values postings to 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. covert $19.00 g. dealings and bullies in north korea and just some of the topics donald trump and joe biden closed over in the final presidential debate of the 2 sept we're the only ones in the spotlight right ahead of the events a former associate of biden's son hunter spoke it's double quarter texas threw it
4:11 pm
out on the night 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
4:12 pm
collecting millions of dollars from every year now also said that joe biden was specifically mentioned in these e-mails as that 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 so horrible evils 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 a complete i carried out u.s. policy not one single solitary thing was out of line not
4:13 pm
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 i would have never run anyone who's response to that should not remain as president of united states of america they. he left us a mess what he's saying is a bunch of garbage this is a terrible thing it is in a flow but 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 it on tape i did show the tape put it on your website i 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
4:14 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 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 so a lot of mud being slung but investigative journalist rick stirling told us the final debate shied away from the most crucial issues facing the. 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. occupations of broad the out of control military budget that the deficit this year is projected to be through 3 trillion dollars that's $9000000000.00 a day none of these issues are being are being addressed the d.
4:15 pm
infrastructure that promised he was going to build by 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 so we're in a we're in a bad place there are no good choices from my perspective. still to kill millions of jobs are already being replaced by robots and it's happening faster than you might think peak or future coming up in the moments. when else so it's seemed wrong. but all wrong just don't call. me i'll get to sleep out of this thing comes after. and in detroit because the trail.
4:16 pm
went something and find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground . with little more than a week before the election many are asking the question do you believe the polls we have good reason to do so should voters trust the polls if you don't trust the hopes will you trust the outcome of the election. secret prisons or not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived we've seen this 0 zone there were 2 view houses were. prison were located only. access to the story investigators covered the darkest dealings of the secret

4:18 pm
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 anti call with 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 corona virus everyone using the system is required to wear protective gear at
4:19 pm
all times and that rule is being very strictly enforced each subway car is disinfected once it reaches the depot now new trains have a built in ultra violet dickinson 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 logged out imposed by the moscow authorities earlier this year many restaurants and bars either went out of business or closed down for renovations well of the situation with a shutdown is now over but call that numbers are once again on the rise this time the thory 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. sensitive.
4:20 pm
that's it i am now checked in and i'm ready to go and listen to some music and to party just a little bit. yes if i give it a try this could see some for the 1st time it wasn't so bad going to get off the floor and teen was tough for us we're really happy this time they found another way we were afraid of being closed again. the musicians to remind our customers to keep weary mosques 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 wiping out jobs at a faster rate than ever and according to a new report by the world economic forum machines will occur. of all human jobs
4:21 pm
within 5 years and the pandemic is only accelerating the trend it's estimated that automation will leave 85000000 people out of work by 2025 worldwide although 97000000 new roles are projected to emerge the forum's managing director says firms will have to quickly adopt. 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 i got the thoughts of a number of guests on whether the forecast is 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
4:22 pm
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 it 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 the create out on a much reasoning machine that are able to replace you all month who are 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 working dogs or sector
4:23 pm
where there is a repetitive task they were not for where we need their quick supplied human conclusion 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 if not overly optimistic that with a huge number i'm optimistic that there would be still jobs for your money so robots will not replace the human anytime soon indeed there would be jobs more jobs created for horrible words but there would be also more jobs created for the human scene now monitoring in supervising these robots 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 lair it will also do repetitive tall so they could be replaced but those are not the enormous group who aren't necessarily highly but do very hands on work when talking about nurses we talking about care well because we're talking about. those
4:24 pm
people won't be replaced say move forward on to this robotic revolution. those who have lost work will stay out of windows for 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 open up by this technological jobs we need to begin training people for those shops. let's get a check at some other world news and brief starting with a look at a solidarity march in london against police brutality in 1900 smarts to dunning street demanding global action against nigeria's government it comes just days after nigerian police reportedly used live fire on until he grew tell it some protests in the biggest city made dozens of died say in almost 2 weeks of unrest in the african nation since a video emerged showing

4:26 pm
secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived within the zeros on their work to view houses were allegedly bursts of prison was located only cia people had access to the story for investigators sure hell they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean there you go ahead of norm in thought or nonsense . hockey see maybe a sore knee yes or no for. crying for justice on r.t. . an entire village in alaska has had to move if another country trying to wipe out an american town. we do everything in our power to protect the. water they escaping climate change is the same threat right now alaska has seem some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world we lost about 35

4:28 pm
the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is for. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered really dealt with a little more than a week before the election many are asking the question do you believe the polls do we have good reason to do so should voters trust the polls and if you don't trust
4:29 pm
the polls will you trust the outcome of the election. to discuss polling i'm joined by my guest my leg in washington he is the g.o.p. strategist and in new york we cross to sarah norman she is a democratic strategist digital marketer and data scientist in the 2020 presidential election she served as the senior adviser of digital on the come up the harris campaign already crossed out rules and i think that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it ok let's go to sarah sarah's that i guess the simplest question i can ask you is program because that's the topic of it should we trust the polls ok because we do have the the after effect of 2016 but i think a lot of people exaggerate how much the polls were off ok they were but i mean since 0 significant. even if they had the same margin of error this time again
4:30 pm
a lot of the polls would say the outcome would be no different by the way so simple question then you're probably the ideal person to ask your digital person ok should we trust the polls. i trust the polls as a strong indicator of what's going on but we have to understand what they are saying and ironic so 1st. let's talk about what the polls are saying using 2016 as you mentioned as an example so in chick out the 16 the average of polls said that hillary had about an 85 percent chance of winning well that means the polls were also saying that she had about an 85 percent chance of losing so if you're picturing hillary rolling the dice pollsters don't control it she rolls that one in 7 chance where she loses so that's what the polls are saying we're talking about chances but we also have to consider the polls limitations so in this year i think of it as 2 sets of limitations we have the normal limitations that happen every
