in the stories that shaped the week per room rejects purchasing the asteroid zanuck over $1000.00 vaccine after a lot of data is withheld and a volunteer dies during trials of a test on the job continue. also this hour 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. and after the horrific slaying of a history teacher friends confronts a 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 be the big your for all for what the poorest of my freedom of speech as a human rights activist is literally all do but it's.

your tune into the weekly here on our 2 international where we break down the top stories from the week just gone. through has decided not to buy doses of a potential corona virus vaccine being developed by the british firm astra zeneca leymah cited a lack of data from the company after the death of a trial volunteer reports claiming 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 you know 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 in gaza have has more now on the race for a cure. there is always the risk with any vaccine any clinical trial that statistical improbability that northpoint 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 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 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 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 faster 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 to distribute the vaccine and just as it brazil there's a divide kassam in opinion people want need a vaccine but they want one that works not one that makes the most money not one 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 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 preach 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 than ever before a new 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 i share for the u.s. libertarian party national committee arbonne of araa says vaccinations should either 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 a feat 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 as issue and you add to it the biggest event in the world in the last decade easily

then of course it's going to be a politically important as 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. but i'm joe biden clashed again and the final presidential debate this week however a former business associate of biden's son stole the spotlight and an interview he gave just 90 minutes before the 2 candidates took the stage his words appeared to back allegations of corruption currently 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 a 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 is complete i carried out u.s.

policy not one single solitary thing was out of line not a single thing there are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what this she'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 the e-mails that trump reference had been published earlier by the new york post after reportedly being found on an old laptop 100 biden's 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 joe biden as we heard denies any wrongdoing in all the russian president has commented on the allegations while speaking to russian media but are

put in said he is not aware of anything criminal by the sun has been involved in while doing business and you crying when you when you would just do it and then. he'd boyden hands and maybe has a business in ukraine i don't know about that but it does not concern us that's all that concerns americans and ukrainians only well yes hundreds of biden is known to have at least one company which he actually hated and apparently good money with but i don't see any crime here at least we don't know anything about it. other 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 social media's role in the upcoming election. 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 are 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're thinking about the christopher seal does which exploded across the world we get so used to get creams utterly discredited and so far on f.b.i. so relieved to be it's crystal clear that whoever is these are operating these are events and are very nice but he's heavily say we're says our mainstream media less

and less and this is pushing down back aggressively right now in ways that i think we may very well suppress results in 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 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 of the of those 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 question the mental health of his french counterpart ammonia on the cross it came after micron pledged to defend france's secular values and fight radical islam on the recent brutal killing of a teacher. and 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 the different faiths 1st of all a mental examination. france has announced a crackdown on islamic extremism following the beheading of samuel party which on controversial cartoons of the prophet muhammad to his pupils the 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 i must go says his russian citizenship was revoked after he was granted asylum in france. i know also one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compassion it was the victim of an islamist terror attack. and this is the concern person of russian nationality and of chechen origin benefited from a refugee status and lived in you ever in the year he was not known to the intelligence services on a judicial level he's never been convicted for 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 she 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 oh violence i don't think that this act of terror is a crazy man state but

a premeditated act. the fallout from the killing has seen one mosque apologizing for sharing a video denouncing sammael party prior to his death the government still ordered its closure with the prime minister 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 brains have been carried out against suspected is amiss but law abiding muslims now fear they will suffer human rights activists and counter terrorism specialist chris phillips share their views on the french government's response are calling me asking me whether i was greeted or not so how can we stop poor into the theory but is scared that they would 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 my freedom of speech as a human rights of activists is literally all the better it's just going to be so widespread we're talking to out of people literally time scenes of people who 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 on the free speaking out almost 2 and 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 don't be at least a generation. still had of finding shows no sign of letting up between armenia and azerbaijan and the disputed nagorno-karabakh region of reports from there and also from a neighboring azerbaijan the region after this short break. eh

eh eh eh. join me every day simon chill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics. i'm sure. i'll see you then.

welcome back to the weekly with a record setting 29 fights unbeaten a world of mixed martial arts lightweight champion hubby has announced his retirement from the sport the russian revealed he had promised his mother that his latest clash would be his last on saturday night hobby beat his american wild bill and a 2nd round knockout in there you see a title bout in abu dhabi it was his 1st fight since his father who is also his coach has passed away fans reacted with joy. emotions running high voices even straining it was one of the most difficult for him.

despite all the difficulties with the distance he had been displayed on a strong russian spirit that he won and ended his career in such a way he demonstrated to the whole world he is the. future. earlier today italy's prime minister announced a slew of new coded measures all gyms cinemas and swimming pools have to close while 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 italian flag only 7 arrests were made and 2 officers were left injured. but italy currently clocking up almost 20000 new infections a day one local governor. has seized the opportunity to use the pen demick to fight back against creeping foreign influences is effectively banned holway not by

ordering a curfew october 31st. allowing nyquist in many salary is this immense idiocy this immense stupid american extravagance that we have imported into our country that says 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 we got reaction from italians about the new restrictions. to condemn 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. we're catholics you know this america sort of gratian is not appropriate to me and so you know she has by god but 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 with 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. armenia and azerbaijan have agreed to a new ceasefire starting 8 am local time on monday that's just 9 hours from now the joint statement was released between the 2 warring sides and the us government and their humanitarian truce is the 3rd in just a month the 1st 2 were repeatedly marred by accusations of violations from both sides armenia and azerbaijan have been fighting over the border for more than a month now and hostility show no sign of letting up with reports of shelling in parts of the disputed region once again this week it was done of sent this report from near the front line. 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'm accused of reporting from the northern front line in the going to karabakh r.c. . earlier dullahan had pledged to sort out the conflict calling it an easy case that tensions over nagorno-karabakh stretch back more than 3 decades about the region. is legally part of azerbaijan it is populated mainly by ethnic armenians

fighting continues not just across the disputed region but beyond its borders as well officials in azerbaijan claim the city of tar and neighboring areas came under armenian shelling on saturday but it shows an unexploded shell near residential buildings there local journalists as a day was caught up in shelling while reporting from outside in azerbaijan a factory. let's not forget what you did notice about is almost a lot of mean you could have on that osha vision because you know get out of studio with me of the guys those capacity of his adult would be terrible if you did not that. you don't could do it but then i suppose that's is this new bassma. move. to louis has been walked into the direction of the rest of the

night so exploded so often and so loudly that we could heard it from the neighboring city which is so cool with this fall from the from clause as it only morally include when does it seem to and from there it goes there of the war this huge and has became an a.p. sinter of artillery at the expense of our media inside. and what's becoming something of a weekend tradition since the disputed election back in august massive crowds of demonstrators have once again the flooded the streets of the belorussian capital. it comes on the last day of an ultimatum set by the opposition for the embattled leader alexander lukashenko to resign police use stun grenades to disperse the demonstrators who'd been peacefully marching through the streets near the president's residence in minsk a number of arrests have been made there no casualties are reported yet. as the
