in the stories that shaped the week pearl rejects purchasing the astra zeneca covert 19 vaccine after lab data is withheld and a volunteer dies during trials although testing does 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. and after the horrific slaying of a history teacher france confronts radical islam head on but muslims fear they'll bear the brunt of the government's response. without fear the 2 who will have to be the cure for what the poorest of and my freedom of speech as a human rights of activists is literally on the bones of those.

watching the weekly here on our team a recap of the biggest stories from the past 7 days i'm donald quarter thanks a lot for joining us. now peru has decided not to buy doses of a potential coronavirus vaccine being developed by the british firm astra zeneca lima cited 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 meanwhile the us has now permitted trials to resume after they were temporarily halted and other countries have also restarted them in recent weeks oregon's d.s. has more on the race for the cure. there is always the risk with any vaccine any

clinical trial that statistical improbability that would point to nor one percent risk that someone dies at someone reportedly was a brazilian doctor he was part of an oxford university vaccine trial group and is believed to have suffered fatal complications but they're sure it's safe to keep going phone 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 billions of dollars and visits in clinical trial all things go wrong they have astra zeneca who is vaccine it is has already suspended trials last month after another patient developed a strange illness but the trials must go on clients are waiting brazil for example

whose president has said he wants the british vaccine in contrast to his own health ministry which wanted 46000000 doses of the chinese vaccine 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 idealogical will relate to all disputes brazil is in an awful situation 150000 coronavirus dead 2nd only to the united states things on pretty that korea's lives the economy and the election all hinge on that vaccine no wonder trump has been flooding pharmaceutical giants with billions urging them to go fast 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 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 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 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 a simple thing a jab to save millions of lives would turn into a bit of free for all over all region in 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 polls show americans are now less willing to take one more 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 vice chairman for the us libertarian party national committee arvin vora says vaccinations should not be mandatory or politically motivated. when you politicize medicine generally the results are bad and that's one of the reasons that many libertarians of 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 treat it do they treat it as a government issue an individual choice issue or something else entirely. other news france has recalled its ambassador to turkey after the turkish president questioned the mental health of his counterpart emanuel macron and came after macron pledge to defend france a secular values and fight islamic radicalism following the brutal killing of a teacher no one else can we will not give up caricature of the show or drawing even if others retreat look a little dizzy a sense of. mental health treatment what else can be said to a head of state who does not understand freedom of belief in

a behaves in this way to millions of people living in his country who and then because of a different faith 1st of all a mental examination france has announced a crackdown on islamic extremism following the beheading of samuel paddy who had shown quote controversial caricature of the prophet muhammad to his students 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 and 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 and was the victim of an islamist terror attack.

and this is the consent process of russian nationality and of chechen origin benefited from a refugee status and lived in the he was not known to the intelligence services on a judicial level he's never to be convicted the last node for case of damaging public property and gang violence while still a minor. if . 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. even

more shocked that this college is one i opened when i was the town mayor working that was nice and it was located in a neighborhood without any problems of violence i don't think this act of terror is a crazy man staying at a premeditated act. the fallout from the killing a seen one mosque apologizing for sharing a video denouncing samuel paddy prior to his death the government still ordered its closure with the prime minister announcing more mosques will be shut down 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 islamicists but law abiding muslims now fear they will suffer human rights activists yasser loudy and counterterrorism specialist chris phillips shared their views on the french government's response calling me asking me whether i was raided or not so we have

wished for and everybody is scared that they would be related to 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning here that you know i would have to be the be careful of what i post of and my freedom of speech as a human rights of activists is literally able to balance this program be so widespread. to be literally thousands 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 want to. be from the extreme and that will do some good but this is a problem an assault that's going to go on through a long time to be at least a generation. donald trump and joe biden clashed again in the final presidential debate this week however a former business associate of biden's son stole the spotlight in an interview he

gave just 90 minutes before the 2 candidates took the stage his words appeared to back allegations of corruption currently haunting 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 not a 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 now another russia russia russia hoax and you've got it 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 radio has to

be kidding here we go again with the russia the e-mails the trump referenced 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 although joe biden as we heard denies any corruption in while the russian president has commented on the allegations while speaking to russian media blood amir putin says he's not aware of anything criminal biden's son has been involved in while doing business in ukraine including you when you would use in the . indeed boyden hands and maybe has a business in ukraine because i don't know if i'm in the mood but it does not concern us until you know it concerns americans and ukrainians only well yes hundreds of mine is known to have at least one company which he actually hated and

apparently good money in with but i don't see any crime here at least we don't know anything about it. in while social media giants twitter and facebook took down links to that new york post article new york post article citing concerns over the origins of the source material in response republicans are now demanding that the heads of both firms testify before congress nikki aaron spoke with analysts about 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 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 honor biden story we didn't think about the christopher seal does which exploded across the world we get so used to get creams despite having been utterly discredited so far on if we are so relieved to be crystal clear that whoever is these are pretty sober events and our previous companies heavily say was as is our mainstream media no less than general press and 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 of the freight 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 has much free speech as possible and that means there will be bad speech but the only remedy for bad speech is good speech. writing shows no sign of letting up between armenia and azerbaijan and the disputed nagorno-karabakh region we'll have reports from there and also from a neighboring azerbaijani region state to.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the

world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. welcome back to the program now shocking scenes from new york where donald trump's supporters have gotten into vicious fist fights with opponents. at least 4 people have been arrested after a driver for the trump supporters convoy brawl down the street with a female and demonstrator police were also seen putting handcuffs on an injured man who was lying on the stretcher. now the news

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 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 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 sent us what we need or we buy supplies ourselves and bring them to those who need to go to i guess dawn of reporting from the northern front plain in the going to care about oxy. earlier donald trump pledged to sort out the conflict calling it an easy case but tensions over nagorno-karabakh populated mainly by ethnic armenians stretched back more than 3 decades fighting continues not just across the disputed region but beyond its borders as well the visuals and azerbaijan claim the city of tartar and neighboring areas came under armenian shelling over the weekend and footage shows an unexploded shell near residential buildings there local journalist near a mood as a death was caught up in the shelling while reporting from outside it was
