we start with breaking news this hour u.k. health regulators warn people with a history of allergic reactions against taking fire it's a good vaccine that's up to 2 people who receive the job. that warning comes as america's drug regulator reveals that 6 people who took part in trials for the pfizer back scene have died. the public versus the police versus the president after weeks of violent protests in france officers who waste their anger over perceived a lack of support from the president emanuel much as they face mounting a public hostility we have the opportunity to speak with the deputy secretary of the country's largest police union about the situation. he succeeded in the

force he succeeded to the police 150000 policemen and 100000 angry with macro his words on acceptable for president of the republic. you're watching r t international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program u.k. health regulators are warning people with a history of allergic reactions against taking pfizer's coated vaccine comes after 2 people who had received the job fell ill one day after the u.k. launched mass vaccination and earlier in the u.s. the f.d.a. revealed that 6 people died during pfizer is coded 1000 vaccine trials and joining us live in the studio is our senior correspondent with all the details wrong how

significant is this warning well it's it's very significant significant given all that's happened for. during the past 24 hours now that the rule out the vaccine rule out has begun in the in the u.k. people are getting vaccinated and immediately the they stumble need something that passed by a jury in clinical trials that seems something the didn't catch that it can cause a severe allergic reaction and this is what 2 nurses suffered from the there apparently recovering there well but it caused authorities the n.h.s. national health service in britain to come out and to warn people who have a history of allergic reactions severe allergic reactions to avoid getting the vaccine for now currently they said was writing that any vaccination must be done in facilities equipped with resuscitation moves so if somebody falls ill if they suffer a negative allergic reaction to severe allergic reactions to the they can be you

know tended to and cared for but again this is this is just the latest in what has been a bad few few hours. that's going to mean another significant amount of people cannot get that vaccine at this point now tell us more about what the f.d.a. has were bailed out by the pfizer vaccine well this is something that struck many people as incredibly odd so here we have a vaccine rolled out by pfizer and we would learn the during clinical trials 6 people died we only learned this from the united states food and drug administration so it wasn't pfizer the told us this wasn't its part in the german bio enteric the who developed this vaccine it was the american. watchdog the came out and said yes we knew that 6 people have died 2 of them who received the job who received the vaccine itself 4 of them received the placebo but they're

saying. nevertheless it's safe the vaccine is safe these people died from causes that are seem natural and it is unlikely the claim that it was the vaccine that caused these deaths a total of 6 of unrolled participants died during the reporting period all deaths represent events that occur in the general population of the age groups where they occurred at a similar rate. the gist of it is that those who died again they died from causes they believe that have been a normal. in their in their age groups of 3 of them are 55 years old what one of the one of the volunteers who died he suffered from obesity suffered from an artery condition as well and 3 days after the vaccination he suffered from a heart attack and died another man died 60 days after the

injection after receiving his father's injection and he also died from a heart attack but for people to volunteer suffered from a stroke and again another heart attack in 2 people died from causes that are still being investigated the cause of death is still being investigated nevertheless the if the claims that the vaccine is safe and there's new direct link between these deaths and the vaccine well as you're saying the rollout has already begun in the u.k. hoping to get approval in the u.s. to know why are we only hearing about these deaths now. hearing is a relative term because eat seeds it's surprising that it isn't everywhere the fact that we've just learned from from the f.d.a. that 6 people have died about the side effects of either side effects you'll be hard pressed to find them you can google yourself so a.p. published a huge article just hours ago about the pfizer vaccine and there was no mention of these people dying during the clinical trials then there was sort of articles

bloomberg you'll find you'll find information about these deaths on the side effects only in the footnotes in the final few paragraphs once you've read everything out there is a sense that journalists are avoiding scaring people unnecessarily they believe so if the medics and the doctors in the watchdogs are saying that this vaccine is relatively safe you know. should be taken the church people should be vaccinated with it there's not. to worry about many journalists seeing this is sort of a hint to avoid the pylea dog piling the issue and avoid blowing it out of all proportion the less it is still somewhat shocking that pfizer didn't come out and say that this is their vaccine that there are serious side effects including facial paralysis they didn't publish in any medical journals it wasn't peer peer reviewed so the data that they collected it wasn't put out into the public domain it wasn't

put out for other doctors well over the world and medics and. just to review and here we have this situation where you know bad news is. well if it's just in the statistical norm then why not say it a lack of transparency is likely going to feed into distrust was there anything else of note in the f.d.a. report well these side effects for example facial paralysis that's the important thing to note here is that only the people who received the vaccine not the plates shibu the people 4 of them. then showed the side effects side effects including facial paralysis can be very distressing thing where half of you face sometimes a person's whole face becomes paralyzed the the muscles go to lax and this is you know it isn't a pretty thing among non-serious unsolicited adverse events there was

a numerical imbalance of 4 cases of bell spell seen in the vaccine group compared with no cases on the placebo group though the 4 cases in the vaccine group do not represent a frequency above that expected in the general population. with the side effects to this facial paralysis they're saying that you know it's nothing outside the norm the group was so large thousands and thousands tens of thousands of people that it was to be expected that some would develop you know just natural causes in a group this large someone would irregardless of a vaccine developed this condition that is their logic their argument they're saying that there is an anomaly because nobody in the placebo group displayed the z. side effect but we've got to bear in mind that there was a worldwide brace on for a vaccine everybody desperate to to get one out into production and every corner of the they believe could be safely cut was cut and here we are here are the results it is worth saying that there is no doubt direct correlation yet established

scientific direct correlation between these deaths these side effects and the job the vaccine the pfizer vaccine but as authorities are saying the n.h.s. now this is early days yet you know there's a record called quick laxey we should be cautious going into the future abundantly cautious artie's my god stan thank you for joining us in the studio with that information. and now joining us live to discuss these issues is epidemiology marcella product denali now are you concerned by the news of the 6 deaths during the vaccine trials. of course resigned to siri really should be also . be as you just you know where messiness not only functional incision but also mouse age. targeted particular person. no and we hope that the senate will come reported to stand by if the d.n.a.

on the face that are missing and the giants says that that was the general statement they put those this may want to or at the simulated rate in dos a shoe pz with it but that is only a reference to a generalist that is take some more time it the main question here is to assess what clinical s. association went to it and should it that it good relation get exposed between the doses of the face of the scene and the actual death of those people are so. very serious whether or dentists you was there did it cold sore or appointment or impose or if it was possible in fact or treat your underlying with the sions those things should be reported investigated under ported with full transparency. it is a bit late in the day to be learning about these stats now given that the pfizer job is already being rolled out in the u.k. at least on. all we have of course

a tease. but you know. use your lack of transparency if you supposedly want to be needed by a decent race company a summit corporation that was they are so. motivated by how these. on the market doesn't as well as what their shoes orders say behind the scenes their execution economic interests of course. this is late but i doubt that it is that this was not to him their consumer but made them peter say are you surprised at all that we now have this warning coming from u.k. regulators that those suffering from severe allergies should not take the pfizer vaccine how is this not come up before it was already launched. well that you know

1st in the 1st place you know the sorry in any scenario divorced and those we have terry indications they asked us any assume they start serious things so i mean they had an opponent of course and i wanted to know if you go. now. and the only reporter talking about. can be cations ice and if the police suffering from memphis drum may see the area and educate. a minutes it does mean 2 cases of them reporting. mohnish electing. children aged to cases and the death is serious i mean that could be and i threw it if you don't have a i don't know mind or a high dose or soul or to some me sign here i mean that's that's an easy answer for images to ports to to be there in time we dump them and so sort these are serious things that that has to be that they have they should be said investigated before

to diffuse on the politics and it probably should be informant and if this is not only a thing that gorman should note the 4 day old or decent scenes that will sold to power he has to be informed. for the intimate good and he knew that he shouldn't a store where there are dangers of a sickness and not. i want to come say the public recent survey show in the u.k. that people are quite speck skeptical about these vaccines almost half of the population is this only going to feel that skepticism unfortunately i'm afraid yes and this is serious use this phrase because you know it's the we're not going to be able to defeat these early voters if we don't do it as she referred to mean a given point that in order to assume that we need to hear the masses a nation of people is not there you know this is trying to slow him to be delaying it underlaid and delay it and. so of course it's

a setback is it would be if you said back if you do nobody speaking english. it should be saved for me shouldn't increase elsewhere c'sornyn when the article goes there was you know it's not only woodgate he said i'm all in there race and he said well particle optimum unfortunately we also had the f.b.i. f.d.a. saying that this is not a significant issue those 6 deaths do you agree with that. no sorry i mean this is so. now i mean this is not. is something that we could dig down that easily. because. she i mean here we have that she's are not being investigated properly which i know exactly what megan isms . did. lead to a little bit of a politics. i don't know it was any of course more analysis on this case is no

doctors are reported so where i would not agree that these uses and he said she ended up we pretty cases should be investigated and dare i say yes or i suppose race big the european. menace is agency email. of. the sudanese station under the european union will be investigated you see see you in these days because they have announced that they're able into. bernard is there there are very big people may say so about their fire service and on the don't the names on december so do have some time to do to investigate saturday's serious says the f.d.a. has also listed facial paralysis as a documented possible side effect of the pfizer and the astra zeneca jabs how unusual is that kind of side effect for a vaccine or is this just par for the course ok i. don't have the information

exactly asked how to err often these secondary effects may have to portie its university system you type of a scene so i don't have that information sorry. all right we have been speaking with epidemiology. donnelly thank you for your time and your comments thank you. earlier donald trump signed an executive order aimed at ensuring that americans have priority when it comes to access to vaccines produced in the u.s. but the outgoing and incoming presidents are upbeat about the prospects of mass vaccination. the executive order to ensure that american citizens have 1st priority to receive american vaccines and then we're going to be working with other countries all over the world this team will help get at the latest at the last 100000000 covert 19 vaccine at least 100000000 covert vaccine shots into the arms of the american people in the 1st 100 days 100000000 shots in the 1st 100 days

this week finds or 16 is expected to become the 1st to be approved for emergency use in the u.s. but they plan delivery it falls very short of covering the needs of the nation with many doses having already been shipped abroad to kill more often picks up the story . top u.s. officials are reassuring us that there's enough vaccine to go around and every american can get a jab hundreds of millions of doses will be available every month and we expect to have enough vaccines for every american but by the end of march early april enough across all of our vaccine portfolio to have for every american who would like to be vaccinated 100 percent of americans that want to baxi will have vaccine by that point time although not everyone is going to take it.

really. kind of the kind of i mean it's nice to have a choice isn't it well as trump rolls out his vaccines for americans 1 first policies there are mounting fears that washington will not be able to deliver on its promises a white house summit expected to celebrate the victory of the jab had 2 key guests missing pfizer and madonna pfizer is reported to have told the trumpet administration that it cannot provide additional doses of the coded 19 vaccine until mid 2021 they say other countries beat the united states and bought up the supply of global justice now by u.k. based group reported back in november that 80 percent of pfizer's vaccine over 1000000000 doses had already been sold the buyers some of the wealthiest governments around the world now the usa did get some but only 100000000 vaccines

the u.s. government placed an initial order of 100000000 doses for pfizer beyond techs clovers 900 and pfizer is ready to begin ship an initial dose a soon after receiving an emergency use authorization from the u.s. food and drug administration any additional doses beyond the 100000000 subjected to separate. in mutually acceptable agreement rumors are circulating that after that pfizer offered to sell more to the united states but trump said no deal now the white house denies that let's do the math pfizer says you need to do with this per person so $100000000.00 vaccines covers only $50000000.00 people roughly 15 percent of the u.s. population but u.s. officials say they checked the numbers and there won't be any shortage we are confident that it will have 100000000 doses of find this vaccine is agreed to you know a contract and beyond that we have 5 other vaccine candidates including 100000000

doses on the way from london so what does this america 1st document really mean pfizer privately funded to work without u.s. government support so washington cannot force its will to be 1st on the company and its to sell its vaccine across the planet private property and free markets something that america loves. in canada as ontario province people could face restrictions if they refuse supposedly voluntary vaccination against code raising fears that people will be pressured into taking the break that down for you later in the program. divisions in france are deepening as tensions between the public at the police and the president escalate manual necron is now calling for urgent reforms to law enforcement that's after 2 of the largest police unions have called on their members to stop performing id checks they were angered by mccrone comments about police officers during an interview on friday the french president said that police are much more likely to stop and check people of color

we spoke to one of the leaders of the largest police union and friends who told us about the challenges of being a police officer in the country today. he succeeded in the force he succeeded to the police 150000 policemen and 100000 gendarmes are angry. with macro today to be a policeman is extremely difficult in all of france not only in paris because there's no place in france where police are not singled out and or violated and not a target for that certain segment of the population which is extremely violent because today we see it the demonstrations and protests and no longer peaceful. our friends correspondent charles darwin scale reports on the divisions affecting the country it's being described as a crisis of public confidence in the security forces amidst the violent protests against the global security law that was aimed at strident thing measures to protect the police there's been

a renewed focus on police violence. hoey profile incidents including that of black music producer michel declare it will still have shocked those at the very top. tried to call my lawyer i tried to call lot of people even a neighbor heard my screams he wanted to call the police but it was the police and now to add fuel to the fire surroundings at his case the 4 offices implicated ought to be given financial support from the police as they are investigated by that body

all have admitted his beating was not justified. there was no reason for the police union to dish out funds from its money part of the paris police profit d.d.l. manned granted protection to the 4 police officers indicted in the michel that clare case they should not be done the default decision. we are not on the same side he picked his side that of the violent police he has crossed the line of republican dignity that he should have in his position i want him to go once and for all be felt right now though is much wider the police to offer furious week after week violence on the street demonstrations has seen the injured well worth of produce been over 2 years that we've been suffering demonstrations every saturday demonstrations for economic and social reasons which eventually turned into police violence and we've become the center point of recriminations from demonstrators they openly attacked the police not only by words if it was only that

it wouldn't even matter but it's also acts of physical violence against our colleagues they've been several 100 injured over the past 2 years so this is completely unacceptable then insult was added to injury when president mark on this. we're going to set up a survey online so people can say where and why they were discriminated against it's about police id controls based on racial profiling housing unemployment and daily life other comments he made suggesting that officers carry out more checks on people who are not white made the police unions furious one called on its members to stop carrying out identity checks all together his words are unacceptable for a president of the republic he acted just like an average citizen he gave a personal opinion on the subject but if our colleagues have done something illegal

it's up to the justice system to sanction them and they would accept the sanction if they must be one the issue now so controversial that mark or himself is to intervene it's been announced in january he'll hold a top level meeting bringing elected officials together with citizens police in a bid to find a. way to reform the force so it didn't ski auti paris. u.s. president like joe biden has chosen a retired general as his defense secretary if approved by the senate 67 year old lloyd austin will become the 1st african-american to head the pentagon i chose lloyd austin as my nominee for secretary of defense because he will do whatever it takes to defend the american people when the islamic state emerged as a terrorist threat in iraq and syria president obama and i tend to austin who then led the u.s. central command he designed and executed the campaign he did ultimately beat back

isis. or the austin served under the obama administration leading the u.s. central command who is the main military architect of the u.s. led offensive against islamic state in syria and iraq he was also the one who candidly admitted the failure of a $500000000.00 training program in syria back in 2015 it was shut down after producing just a few trained fighters instead of the several 1000 planes and can you tell us what the total number of trained fighters remains it's a small number and. the ones that are in the fight is is is we're talking for 4 or 5 years is that still the goal to have about 12000 of them there is that still the goal what's the expectation then for them at the pace we're going we will reach the goal that we had initially established for shelves but what about the the overall goal is to make sure that we have enough mass to be

able to get work done on the ground meanwhile a potential stumbling block for lloyd austin is coming to see is the fact that he only retired 4 years ago u.s. law states an officer must have left the service at least 7 years before becoming secretary of defense but senior research fellow at the global policy institute george family thinks exceptions will be made. general managers would begin trumps defense secretary also have to overcome this horrible and he overcame it without too much difficulty and of course there was some of the time we said that this is just one all of we're not going to do this again you know we really mean it this time but we don't have to take it very seriously so having said all that matters they're not likely to turn around. and make difficulties for also in particularly as you know will be honest about it i mean he is all so would be the 1st black man who would be head of the pentagon so i don't think anyone's going to want any

hurdles in his way. in canada's ontario province people who refuse supposedly voluntary vaccination against kobe it could face certain restrictions that's the warning of the provinces health minister there may be some restrictions in terms of travel or other restrictions that may arise as a result of not having a vaccination but that's going to be up to the person themselves to make that decision on the basis of what's more important to them health officials or marks come amid concerns that people will be made to have the jab but authorities are insisting that vaccination will be voluntary earlier cameras prime minister announced that the country would receive its 1st doses of pfizer's vaccine next week political analyst also under burner says the threat restrictions aren't the best way to make people trust the vaccine. i think. forcing people to backs and they did with the. premise that we've heard in ontario is not the

best way to persuade the population to consider being vaccinated in fact it is the worst way to do it especially now that we are in the very early stages of the rollout of the vaccine nobody has been vaccinated yet and at any rate the 1st people who would be vaccinated will be medical staff and personnel in high risk places for example old age homes and. other similar facilities so i think the ontario health minister position was irresponsible in fact because i myself become even more. concerned about this vaccine at all for this hour news why i suppose you're looking for more how to number 2 our website r.t. dot com thanks for tuning in.

unique thing about march for our lives is that he the adults are afraid of us quite frankly members of congress are very afraid of us and that's something we know and we definitely use to our advantage we're able to get meetings with people who quite literally will never vote in favor of any gun violence prevention bill but they're afraid to not be with us because they don't want to see what would happen if we were to call them out for not taking our meeting but 187 total instances 48 deaths 93 injuries and 15 teenagers killed or injured.
