in the stories of the week here on r.t. not interested projects purchasing. $900.00 vaccine after lab data is with held in a volunteer dies during trial tests on the job continue also to come on the hearing killing of a history teacher france take from islamic radicalism but average muslims do fear that they will bear the brunt of the government's response. when i fear that you know i will have to be careful or for what they paused and right for the world's future as a human rights activist this is literally all the balance. on the conflict and armenia rages on in spite of. all correspondences in the disputed corner i had a back. we couldn't take us to the front line and in fact we didn't go either not

only because it's too dangerous but because the commanding officer particular platoon didn't want us filming that. you know they're welcome the latest news and look back at the last 7 days to you watch and wait to hear an outing internationally she's gone to clock in moscow now peru has decided not to buy a potential corona virus vaccine being developed by the british firm. lima cited a lack of data from the company after the death of a trial volunteer a man in brazil reportedly a 20 year old docs 28 year old doctor passed away after taking part in phase 3 trials run by astra zeneca an oxford university it's not known whether he received the actual drug were prissie by the u.s. food and drug administration is now allowed resumption of trials after other

countries also restarted them in recent weeks our senior correspondent. critical look at the race for a cure. 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 covert complications but they're sure it's safe to keep going following careful assessment of this case 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 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 a 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 jobs 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 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 the bird so you know 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 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 our simple thing a jab to save millions of lives would turn into a bitter free for all over origin in money name and preach the advantage and

reelection let's just hope that efficiency and public health also get a little consideration but against the of there wolf despite the coronavirus vaccine being much anticipated to americans it seems in the less cane than ever before according to a survey by staff and also the harris poll this month only 58 percent of americans are ready to receive the jap and that is a drop of more than 10 percent since the previous day in mid august of involve. the us libertarian party national committee says that vaccination should neither be compulsory nor politically motivated. when you politicize medicine generally the results are bad and that's one of the reasons that many libertarians have advocated for getting the f.d.a. entirely out of medicine to get the government tiredly out of medicine abolish the f.d.a. and cut our taxes accordingly see the thing is each person has to calculate their

own risk their own situation right now the american people are being given a different question which is why would you take a vaccine that hasn't really gone through any kind of long term testing where you could not possibly know what the long term effects are so obviously people can have a little bit colder feet when they're dealing with something that is a lot less well known and then other vaccines that have decades of of of dated research behind them so this is something where it's not a one answer for everybody that's the problem with government trying to make these decisions we're trying to politicize them these are individual health decisions just like we have individual dietary decisions that we make for ourselves we have to make these individual health decisions based on our actual needs are actual perceived risk not on some sort of blanket decision made by a government so when you now have some that's already kind of an incendiary as issue and you add to it the biggest event in the world in the last decade easily then of course is going to be a politically important but

a politically important issue and people are going to look very closely at how the candidates treat it do they treat it as a government issue an individual choice issue or something else entirely. francaise it is recording sound voice to turkey for consultations that off the turkish president rest of her to run cost aspersions on president mental health and also questioned his treatment of french muslims following the murder of a teacher by radicalized islamist. but we will not give up caricaturists or drawing this evil scheme you say to a head of state who doesn't understand the freedom of freedom of belief and treats millions of different people living in his own country in this way france has announced a crackdown on islamic extremism following the killing of teacher salman patti he showed a caricature of the muslim prophet mohammed to his pupils a suspected killer an 18 year old refugee of chechen origin was later shot dead by

police it moved to france with his family 12 years ago or sco says that his russian citizenship was revoked after he was granted asylum in france i consequences of the murder included one mosque apologizing for sharing a video denouncing samuel patty prior to his death and defending free speech many french t.v. channel started showing cartoons of the prophet mohammed the french interior ministry has launched numerous award it's of muslim n.g.o.s too and dozens of raids have been carried out against suspected islam miss but your abiding muslims do now fear that they will suffer from the government's response was shot at the pinsky explains. in the wake of samuel patti's gruesome murder the french state wants to show that it's being quick to act police have raided the homes of islam is activists engaged on social networks more than 80 investigations for online hatred have been arrests have already taken place since yesterday around 50 associative

structures will see a certain number of visits from state services all week long and several of them at my suggestion will be dissolved in the council of ministers this latest terror attack is only likely to harden the state starts and those already lead to more accusations that muslims in need to take cover or are calling me asking me whether i was raided or not so we have wished the poor into that everybody is scared that there would be 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning i fear that you know i will have to maybe be careful of what i post and my freedom of speech as a human rights activist is literally on the balance among still going to as ations in the crossfire n.g.o.s including the collective against islamophobia in france also known as c c i f it describes itself as being a human rights organization whose mission is to combat islamophobia but france's

interior minister says the group is linked to a parent to launched a fatwa against teacher samuel party which it thought led to his assassination it received state age we have evidence to say that it is an enemy of the republic c c o f says it is the victim here since yesterday we have been the target of death threats and a companion of hatred that demands the dissolution of. face through so many smears of incredible indecency given the context our team is now receiving growing support thank you from the heart rates following terror attacks are commonplace but for some of these purges don't target the root. of the problem this program be so widespread we're talking to people literally thousands of people who are would be deemed to be in some way. to terrorist groups in the u.k. in paris in france in belgium and other countries so there's just an enormous number of people are the very speaking out want to. be from the extreme and that

will do some good but this is a problem i saw that's going to go on for a long time to least a generation islam islam in france was already in the spotlight in recent weeks president emanuel might call that outlying details of the new nor aimed at protecting france's secular republic from foreign influence is not going said a minority of the country's estimated 6000000 muslims were in danger of forming a carol to society and accusations followed that he was trying to a price is low in france associations to defend the rights of muslims who are bought off by micron's police in short the message is muslims we're going to screw you up. well the french unanimously condemned the attack which led to the beheading for professor yesterday some take the opportunity to settle their scores by

slipping into the most abject islamophobia the interior minister says it's now possible to see how political islam has joined forces with radical islam and ultimately is leading to terrorism many muslims may now feel that they are under attack with suggestions that some real patti's death opens the floodgates to a political trial of those organizations say they struggle against islamophobia charlotte even ski r.t. paris. now the fish struggle between armenia and azerbaijan over nagorno-karabakh has been ongoing for a month and hostility showing no sign of letting up with reports of shelling in parts of the disputed region on wednesday reporting near the front line here she calls you don. right now we head into the north to the northern front line which is one of the 2 remaining major hotspots in the corner cab out our drivers brother is serving there so he's bringing food and warm clothes as we're going our driver

keeps glancing to the right there's only a couple kilometers between our car and there's eerie artillery the road he's being heavily shelled. the homely smell of freshly baked bread filling the car seems out of place as we're approaching the frontline town so this is where we had to get out the city of that kept essentially they couldn't take us to the front line and in fact they didn't go either not only because it's too dangerous but because the commanding officer of that particular platoon didn't want us filming there so that we don't give out the positions but the city of martek out of it has no rest this is just one of hundreds of craters left all around the city just this tuesday the armenian forces managed to repel a $700.00 strong attack here now that the as every command knows how students the resistance is they've cranked up the bombardments by an order of magnitude.

live on our driver has to unload his cargo here he knows that there will be no shortage of good samaritans willing to pass it on to those in the trenches when there's a break in the fighting of course meanwhile live on and his friends can do more good collecting a new batch of supplies. our friends from russia send us what we need or we buy supplies ourselves and bring them to those who need it i'm accused of reporting from the northern front line in the going to care about r.c. . tensions in a going to cut a back stretch back more than 3 decades but the fighting escalated in late september although both sides agreed a 2nd humanitarian ceasefire recently they have since accuse each other of violating it fighting does continue across this region and beyond local journalists . he was caught up in the shelling while reporting from outside and as

a factory. this isn't good but you should let us know it was almost you out of many a good one that also vision because you know you know absolutely with me there goes those capacity of does that work for peter roebuck you. must love to do it could do it but there are stars there is this new ideas that personal. sluice move. heavy artillery has been washington's a day off with all of that us through the not so exploded so often and so loudly that we could heard it from the neighboring city which is sort of cool with this fall from the from clause as it only morning crew went as a told us to and from there were close there of the war this sujan has became an atheist center of artillery ethics from armenian side. and i still had

a few weeks staying in the limelight from the final presidential debate in the us a former business partner of joe biden son makes damaging allegations against the democratic hopeful put the title just off the book. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.

anyone else to show the same wrong all right old quotes just don't hold. any new world yet to shape our disdain becomes agitated and in games from an equal speech trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. welcome back to the weekly now europe has seen explosion in corona virus cases over the past few weeks and in italy which has almost 20000 new infections a day one local governor has seen the perfect chance to get rid of some foreign influence he's ordered

a curfew on october 31st to ward off the specter of coded and other spirits. are low in nyquist i mean it's halloween this is this immense idiocy this immense stupid american extravagance that we have imported into our country that's it's halloween is a monument to imbecility as well since we have to face the reality and since i feel that people are already getting ready to have parties everything will be closed on halloween from 10 o'clock and there will be a curfew. but we took to the streets to see how italians do feel about the new restrictions take on down there and in my opinion it's stupid to think that closing all the nightclubs will stop people from gathering because we can regroup in another place. i agree to is the look even before corbett in my view it's a pretty silly holiday where catholics you know this america's immigration is not appropriate to me and so you know says by god i think it's a mistake halloween has become a good holiday here in italy and it helps the economy it's

a good thing for the city for young people that want to have fun and for everyone. i think that we can avoid these holidays because of the groan of virus these are useless holidays a group that honestly i'm not sorry for it we can stay home during this phase maybe next year we can go out and enjoy this holiday if there is a vaccine. now november 3rd in the u.s. election is just around the corner and on thursday donald trump and joe biden crossed swords in the final presidential debate staking the spotlight however a former business associate of joe biden's son spoke out in a blockbuster interview just 90 minutes before the 2 candidates took to the stage and many argue his words do back up allegations of corruption stalking the biden family joe biden say that is never discussed business with hunter. that is false 'd i have firsthand knowledge about this because i directly dealt with the biden family the e-mails the horrible even of the kind of money that you were raking in

you and your family and joe you were vice president when some of this was happening and i think you owe an explanation to the american people if i did my job your complete i carried out u.s. policy not one single solitary thing was out of line not a single thing 50 former national intelligence folks who shared that word this she's accusing me of is a russian plane you mean the laptop is now another russia russia russia hoaxer you got it exactly what does this tell you exactly why this is where he's going the are up is russia yes i mean i wish i want to stay on the issue of radio have a be kidding here we go again with the russia well the e-mails that from referenced had been published by the new york post after being extracted from one to biden's broken laptop materials do you claim that joe biden was well aware of his son's dealing dealings abroad and he also met personally with some of his sons or in

business partners all while still holding the office of u.s. vice president although joe biden as we heard denies any corruption meanwhile social media giants twitter and facebook took down links to that new york post article and in response republicans and i demand then that heads of both firms testified before congress you karen discussed social media's role in the upcoming elections with experts. facebook google and twitter previously vowed to prevent election to ferentz through their platforms to what extent do you think they've managed to fulfill that promise i don't really know what twitter or facebook could have done what they have instead done is made a horrifying promise that they can regulate truth that is hard enough to do in a world that isn't politics where does information is part of the game they showed a significant bias in going after the hunter biden disclosures and i've read the hunter biden emails may strike me as perfectly valid perfectly plausible so i

believe the story and i think that that that twitter and facebook are are deliberately trying to withhold information from the public in a clear effort to swing the election well we know that in contrast to what happened with under biden story we didn't think about the christopher c.e.o. does which exploded across the world we get so used to good creams despite having been utterly discredited and so far on f.b.i. so we needed to be crystal clear that whoever is these are operating these are events and our previous companies heavily say we're says our mainstream media the less than generous and this is pushing down back aggressively right now in ways that i think we may very well suppress results and say the 2020 election in this country do you think many ways to be legal changes to restrict the power of online platforms to decide what we can accommodate quite frankly we are moving at

a startling pace in terms of all these platforms and we don't have laws that really apply to them they've made promises they can't keep and they are trying to please their user base is based soley on the the outrage of the moment the important point is that the censorship is being imposed on facebook and twitter by the government the government is afraid of these platforms. liberals and democrats are both pushing for increased government regulation and i think it's an assault on free speech so i think that there's you as much free speech as possible and that means there will be their speech but the only remedy for bad speech is good speech. the u.s. has caused confusion with mixed messages about the ongoing presence of its troops in afghanistan after officials linked a long promised reduction to conditions on the ground for the statement by nato

chief to also fail to clarify the situation going forward we will be looking at conditions on the ground to determine if there is a capability to draw down more troops which we all would hope that conditions would allow us to do that but certainly the conditions have not been met at this time we went into afghanistan together we will just to get there when the time is right that when the conditions are met we will leave together in the but according to an orderly way around 12000 nato personnel are still deployed in afghanistan in support of its mission there while the u.s. which sent in forces in 2001 has gone down to just over 8 and a half 1000 soldiers on the ground this is all part of the trumpet ministrations pledge of a total pullout by the spring of 2021 with violence in war torn afghanistan persisting former british soldier joe blanton traveled there to investigate a series of civilian killings according to human rights watch they were committed

by cia backed paramilitaries well here's a snapshot of clinton's report you can watch it in full on you tube on the red fish platform. so i'm back in afghanistan to find out the story behind the headlines crimes record levels of civilian deaths and the story of the 0 you know shadowy cia practice of death squads killing people in the us to come crashing into your point and there's. been you know you're separating people there either kill you or they take the 0 units arrived at the house of abraham and hajis nephews they interrogated them for several hours then they shot the weapon drops where in weapons would be placed on bodies to frame them as terrorists extra judicial killings the use of pictures pictures of dead bodies for propaganda when will you be referring the 0 units to the international criminal court because these look to

me like war crimes must change in one word if i could see it change the current situation that is not acceptable for us they had extensive documentation of their operations weapons caches kills and arrests for the local people there it is a bunch of killers are going there. killing innocent people and the official line is that they are under afghan control the cia essentially controls it all. they fund it but they also control it they also hand out the operation of this war is less accountable than ever what was once the job of u.k. and u.s. special forces is now being carried out by these so-called 0 units and the fact that funded by the cia means they have no accountability to either the u.s. or afghan governments.

just to reiterate you can watch full on you tube on the red fish platform you be watching weekly here and i think could have a company or from us and just. join me every 1st week on the alex simon short and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sport i'm sure i'll see you there. by.

a long while the jewels are part of the more of these change the more they stay the same well the coming years production elections feature many firsts the 1st contest of situation areas and the 1st go during the nationwide condemning tactics employed to extract and distract voters remain remarkably consistent allegations of corruption from the right salacious in the end just from the last spiced and as usual with claims of russian interference can't get any dirtier while to discuss an analogy i invite dimitri simes deputy head of the center for comprehensive european and international studies at the heart of economics in the ministry it's good to

see your again thank you very much for taking time to talk to us. thank you it's my pleasure hello now the last time we talked you predicted that the 2020 companion is probably going to be the dirtiest campaign in american history reach to me frankly if you wasn't that hard to predict you will the emmys there are crabby and investigative tools and shrinks used over the last few years d.c. on the side have anything left up their sleeves to try to defile their opponent with well i think all the arguments all the accusations all the dirt that could have been presented and poor against each other during this election scheduled as or has already been made already do not exclude that as something other. some other issues asian scam can emerge.
