in the stories that shaped the week peruvian jets purchasing the astra zeneca coded 1000 vaccine after lab data is when held and a volunteer dies during trials other tests on the job continue. shortly before thursday's u.s. presidential debate a former business associate of joe biden's son comes forward with more allegations of corruption against the biden family. after the horrific slaying of a history teacher confronts radical islam head on muslims fear they will bear the brunt of the government's response. without fear that you know i will have to maybe be cure for all for what the poorest of my freedom of speech as a human rights of talk to this is literally all the bugs.

you're watching that weekly here on our team recap of the biggest stories from the past 7 days thanks for joining us this hour. through has decided not to buy doses of a potential coronavirus vaccine being developed by the british firm astra zeneca they must hide a lack of data from the company after the death of a trial volunteer reports claim a 28 year old male doctor in brazil died while taking part in advanced stage 3 trials run by astra zeneca and oxford university it's not known whether he received the actual drug or a placebo when all the us has now permitted trials to resume after they were temporarily halted there and other countries have also restarted them in recent weeks. has more now on the race for care. there is always the risk with any vaccine any clinical trial that statistical improbability that point one

percent risk that someone does someone reportedly was a brazilian doctor he was part of an oxford university bag. scene 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 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 the vaccine that works that saves millions of lives and brings in billions of dollars and brits 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 governors will go to congress and the courts to ensure the population has

access to all vaccines that are efficient and safe health is a bigger acid an ideological electoral dispute brazil is in an awful situation $100.00. 50000 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 with billions of 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 won't one that works not one that makes the most money not one that stumbled and struggled through trials and especially the one made to save the president's korea this is the same fellow told you this is going to end by easter

last time is 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 backseat 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 thinking it was clear from the get go that there would be a race for a vaccine what we didn't consider was how it would be al of simple thing a jab to save millions of lives would turn into a bit of free for all of origin and money name and creates the advantage and reelection let's just hope that efficiency and public health also get a little consideration. despite the rush to develop a successful vaccine poll show americans are now less keen to take one that ever before and the survey this month shows only 58 percent are ready to receive the

shot and that's a drop of more than 10 percent since the previous survey back in august vice chair for the us libertarian party national committee are one of our says vaccinations should not be compulsory or 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 when you now have some it's already kind of an incendiary

is 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 treated do they treat it as a government issue an individual choice issue or something else entirely. donald trump and joe biden clashed again in the final presidential debate this week covering former business associate of biden's son stole the spotlight in an interview he gave just 90 minutes before the 2 candidates took to the stage his words appear to back allegations of corruption currently stuck in the biden family 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 the e-mails so horrible even ills 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 another russia russia russia hoax or you got exactly what does this tell you exactly why this 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 e-mails that trump reference had been published earlier by the new york post after reportedly being found on an old laptop of hunter biden they claim joe biden was well aware of his son's dealings abroad and he met personally with some of hunter's foreign business partners all while holding the office of u.s. vice president of the joe biden as we heard denies any corruption. in all social media giants twitter and facebook took down links to that new york post article

citing concerns over the origins of the source material and response republicans are now demanding the heads of both firms testify before congress my colleague mccarran discuss with analysts subtle media's role in the upcoming election facebook google and twitter previously vowed to prevent election to fair and 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 hon i'm sure we'll see whether the christopher c.e.o. does which exploded across the world we get so used to good creams utterly discredited and so far on f.b.i. so relieved to be it's crystal clear that whoever is these are pretty sober events and are very nice companies heavily say which says as our mainstream media the less than generous and this is pushing down back aggressively right now in ways that i think 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 the laws that really apply to them they've made problem. they can't keep and they are trying to please their user base is based soley on 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 for increased government regulation and i think it's an assault on free speech so i think of the there she was much free speech as possible and that means there will be their speech but the only remedy for bad speech is good speech . france has recalled its ambassador to turkey after the turkish president questioned the mental health of his counterpart emanuel mccracken it came after migrant pledged to defend friends a secular values and fight radical islam on the recent brutal killing of a teacher. we will not give up caricaturists or drawing even if others retreat. zeeuw saying look. it needs a mental health treatment what else can be said to

a head of state who does not understand freedom of belief and who behaves in this way to millions of people living in his country who are members of a different faith 1st of all a mental examination. france has announced a crackdown on islamic extremism following the beheading of samuel applied to controversial caricaturist of the prophet muhammad to his pupils a killer an 18 year old refugee of chechen origin was later shot dead by police he moved to france with his family 12 years ago moscow says his russian citizenship was revoked after he was granted asylum in france. i know one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compassion it was the victim of an islamist terror attack. i'm proud.

to see and this is the concern person of russian nationality and of chechen origin benefited from a refugee status and lived in the year that he was not known to the intelligence services on a judicial level he's never been convicted but was known for cases of damaging public property and gang violence while still a minor. he asked muslim children to raise their hands and leave the classroom he did it my son told me he didn't do it to discriminate or to hurt he did it to preserve the children to not shield them he explains i'd prefer if you left because i'm going to show a cartoon of the prophet of islam i don't want to shock you. i'm

even more shocked that this college is one i opened when i was the town mayor working there was nice and it was located in a neighborhood without any problems or violence i don't think this act of terror is a crazy man state but a premeditated act. of fallout from the killing has seen one mosque apologizing for sharing a video denouncing sami al-haj tape prior to his death the government though still ordered its closure with the prime. announcing more mosques would be shut as well the french interior ministry has launched numerous audits of muslim n.g.o.s and dozens of raids have been carried out against suspected islam as law abiding muslims and now fear they will suffer from the government's response human rights activists yes at last he and counterterrorism specialist chris phillips share their views on the french government's response or are calling me asking me whether i was

raided or not so how can we stop for into that everybody is scared that they will be raided at 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning without fear that you know i will have to maybe be careful of what i post of and my freedom of speech as a human rights of activists is literally on the balance this program be so widespread we're talking thousands of people literally thousands of people who would be deemed to be in some way straight restoring to terrorist groups in the u.k. in paris in france in belgium and other countries that is just an enormous number of people and by the very speaking out almost 2 to 3 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 count them won't be at least a generation. still had a fighting shows no sign of letting up between armenia and azerbaijan in the disputed they're going to cut about the region of reports from there and also from

a neighboring azerbaijan region after the short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for them to you shouldn't let it be an arms race based on off and spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

welcome back to the weekly armenia and azerbaijan have been fighting over the border cutter box for more than a month now and hostilities show no signs of letting up at the ports of shelling and parts of the disputed region once again this week r.t. is your style of sent this report from near the front lawn. right now we head into the north to the northern front line which is one of the 2 remaining major hotspots in the corner care about 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 is being heavily shelled. the homely smell of freshly big 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 their positions but the city of marjah take care 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 strong attack here now that the as every command knows how storage 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. or friends from russia sent us what we need or we buy supplies ourselves and bring them to those who need it i mean you're dying of reporting from the northern front line in the going to karabakh r.c. . donald trump has promised to sort out the conflicts calling it an easy case that he might have his work cut out for him because tensions over in a corner kind of us stretch back more. than 3 decades although the region is legally part of azerbaijan it is populated mainly by ethnic armenians since the fighting flared again last month both sides have agreed to a 2nd humanitarian ceasefire but have since accused each other of violating it

fighting continues not just across the disputed region but beyond its borders as well officials in azerbaijan claim the city of tal afar and neighboring areas came under armenian shelling on saturday when it shows an unexploded shell near residential buildings their local journalist. was caught up in the shelling while reporting from live in azerbaijan a factory. let's not forget what you did notice about is almost you out to mean you have on the ocean vision because she acted out of studio with me of the clothes i was capacity of design would be terrible if you did not that. much but you don't have to do it but there are stars that says this new bassma. move. to louis has been walked into the direction of the rest of the night exploded so often and so loudly that we could heard it from the neighboring

c.d.'s which is so cool with this fall from the wrong fly as it only morning clear when does it seem to and from there we close the of the war this region has became an a.p. sinter of our to fix the armenian side. with a record setting $29.00 fights on beaten world mixed martial arts lightweight champion hubby because now it's his retirement from the sport the russian revealed he had promised his mother that the latest clash would be his last on saturday night herbie beat his american rival and a 2nd round knockout in there you have to see todd about an opera dobby it was his 1st fight since his father was also his coach and passed away spans reacted with joy. emotions are running high voice is in straining was one of the most difficult

choice for her. despite all the difficulties with the death of his father had been displayed all strong russian spirit through glad that he won his m.m.a. career in such a way as he demonstrated to the whole world he is the. richard. l. are today at least prime minister announced a wave of new covert measures jim cinemas and swimming pools have to close all bars and restaurants can't remain open past 6 pm public anger had already boiled over in rome last night after a curfew was imposed. protesters hurled projectiles at police and set off fireworks in the colors of the flag only 7 arrests were made and 2 officers were left injured. italy currently clocking up almost 20000 new infections a day one local gov has seized the opportunity to use the pandemic to fight back

against creeping foreign influences is effectively banned halloween by ordering a curfew on october 31st. 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 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 we got reaction from a tell us about the new restrictions. 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 deluca even before covert in my view it's a pretty holy day where catholics you know this america's would ration is not appropriate to me over and so you know she has 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. and what's become a weekend tradition since the disputed election back in august massive crowds of demonstrators have once again flooded the streets of the belorussian capital but. it comes on the last day of an ultimatum set by the opposition for the embattled leader alexander lukashenko to resign police to stun grenades to disperse the demonstrators who've been peacefully marching through the streets near the president's residence in the number of arrests were made although no casualties

were reported. the u.s. has caused confusion about its ongoing troop presence in afghanistan after officials linked a long promised reduction to conditions on the ground it further statement by nato chief also failed to clarify the situation. going forward we will build a can conditions on the ground to determine if there is a capability to draw down more troops which we will would hope the 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 drawing to when the conditions are met we will leave together in the coordinate an orderly way around 12000 nato personnel are still deployed in afghanistan the u.s. which 1st sent troops in 2001 has cut its presence down to around 8 and a half 1000 as part of the trumpet ministrations pledge of a total pullout by the spring of next year in all former british soldier joe

blanton has returned to afghanistan to investigate a series of civilian killings human rights watch claims they were committed by cia backed paramilitaries something washington denies claiming many of the allegations against its special forces were likely false or exaggerated here's a taste of clinton's report for artie's redfish project you can watch it in full online. 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 schools killing people in the us to come crashing into your house pointing and there's. been you know you're separating people there 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 it must change the current situation that is not acceptable for us they had extensive documentation of their operations in the weapons caches kills and arrests for the local people there to support killers that are going there in 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 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 government. that's a breakdown of just some of the biggest headlines from the past week from our in the stories and the latest news head to our web site. 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

the climate change is the same threat right now alaska seems some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world we lost about 35 feet. 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. is fast paced the river is 35 closers and how many was here for i think were a part of america 1st from or across. the. meadow is a very nice chauffeurs from president wrote that i could have said no thank you or

i could have said thank you and i said i'll take it and now it's time to introduce my is not bashful close to mr donald trump thank you susan very much for the. name whatever you want to name i mean i don't know how when i come that the news that's dishonest tell what i can better recorder. network that's totally dishonest c.n.n. is. 100 percent negative. change faster changes so fast sometimes i'll say that's going to be a great story be a pretty good report another as good as you. will see what happens. but we'll see i'm a failure with the success. oh . wow.
