you've moved into sustainable development these ricky. but did you ever use this number. in joules. you can help regulators warn people with a history of allergic reactions against taking the fines or backseat to 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 beyond type vaccine died. also this our friends is a man almost wrong pushes ahead with a controversial bill that aims to topple islamist extremists.

a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here are th q. in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. health regulators are warning people with a history of allergic reactions against taking the pfizer be on talkback seen as comes after 2 people who receive the job fell ill one day after the u.k. launched a massive vaccination program. any person with a history of a significant allergic reaction to a vaccine medicine or food should not receive the pfizer beyond vaccine very unfortunate news for pfizer and this is piling on to what we've already learned about deaths and side effects but in this instance 2 nurses became very ill. after being injected with the vaccine they were apparently they had a history of allergies and they've doing well now they're recovering but again this is something that somehow slipped clinical trials that people with previous

conditions the history of severe allergies and reactions to allergies they are vulnerable they're vulnerable to the side effects tell us more about what the u.s. food and drug administration has revealed the problem is that we learned of these deaths not from pfizer whose very exceed the c's i mean you'd think that they obligated to go public and to tell people be open and transparent about how their trials are going how people are taking the vaccine you know these deaths 2 of the people who died received the jab while 4 of them received politically cebu injections so they're saying that the vaccine is still safe they still believe it's safe it is effective. and that these deaths were it is unlikely that these deaths were caused by the vaccine 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 well they believe that they're part of the statistical norm obviously you know we learn that people with severe allergies shouldn't take the prize of vaccine only today and after the fact of the vaccination public vaccination had gotten which is you know. alarm bells and people ought to know you know what they're getting into but the problem. here is that there's they seems to be a lack of communication from. the press and bear in mind the visor never published in open sources never published in medical journals for peer review the data that it gathered throughout the clinical trial so they really gave that to to various officials and watchdogs. greenlighted their vaccine and what else is there to be found in the f.d.a. as reported well the other scary thing i would say that has struck people and cause some concern is the side effects notably one side effect which is facial paralysis it is a condition and not

a lot known about what causes it but for people so there were 2 test groups the placebo group and the test group that received the actual vaccine the interesting thing about these side effects is that nobody from the placebo group experience that nobody should any symptoms while 4 people in the group that received the real vaccine display these symptoms of partial paralysis 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 did not represent a frequency above that expected in the general population. they've already dismissed these concerns saying this new scientific link between. may merely an anomaly why by some people suffered from these symptoms and others didn't do. a group or test group these large tens of thousands of people somebody with or without a vaccine should have experience if you have just statistics but you know it's

piling on top of each other to these deaths these side effects and now we learn that people with severe allergies if they take the vaccine obviously it must be it is understood that every call to was cut safely they believe had to be cut to get a room to rule of actually it out as quickly as possible to get a vaccine out now before the end of the year less than a this is a process that usually takes decades it could take decades years at least to study the effects of the vaccine to study how people take it through throughout the years you know how it affects them and their life and obviously that didn't happen because of the agency because of the huge worldwide to get this vaccine out and to see it successful vaccine return the world to more or less normal so very you know a sense that people should approach vaccination with abundant caution

we heard from epidemiologists marcelle fratta denali he says the revelations pose grave concerns over the safety of the pfizer be on take. do you. use your local terms to see if you supposedly want you really did buy it by the specific race company summit corp it was they are so motivated by how these. on the market doesn't always work there she orders behind the scenes that execution economic interests of the star and the other soon are divorced and doris we have terror in the case of the astra zeneca assume the star serious things i mean there are not going to reports of i want you go girl news but now i'm in the only report talking about big asians are nice in only suffering from empty beer allergic to a men's issue some of them done serious i mean it could be years later these are serious things they should be should investigate it he says not only

a thing that gorman should know before the order to do the scenes but also the party has to be formed sort of intimate if you will to see shouldn't a store where there are dangers of a season out. earlier donald trump signed an executive order aimed at ensuring that americans have priority when it comes to access to back scenes produced in the u.s. but the outgoing and incoming presidents are upbeat about the prospect of mass vaccination. signed 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 pfizer vaccine is expected to become the 1st to be approved for emergency

use in the u.s. but the plan deliberate falls very short of covering the needs of the nation with many doses having already been shipped abroad often picks up the story. pop u.s. officials are reassuring us that there's enough vaccine to go around in 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. 6 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 initial order over 100000000 doses for pfizer beyond techs covered $900.00 facts seen 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 this is 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're confident that it will have 100000000 doses of find this vaccine is agreed to in our 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 visor 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. muslim rights groups and friends have lashed out at the government over a new bill targeting islamic radicalism the measures being pushed by present wave of terrorist attacks and they'll include tougher surveillance from mosques and curbs on home schooling. has the details it was presented to the council of ministers and wednesday and it has now been approved by the prime minister cast x. was giving his press conference following the outlining parts of the bill he said that this is about promoting republican values fighting against separatism has been something that has been coming from certain parts of the muslim community here in france the largest muslim community in europe and the prime minister said that france has to defend itself and it has to emancipate its citizens from the yoke of

religion. radical islam ism is an ideology directed to dividing people and spreading hatred and violence in society faced with this the republic intends to defend itself by local authorities now will have more power to deal with religious spend news where they say there is hate speech coming from them where there is a call to violence following the beheading of teachers back in october a new edition has been added to the law this is article 25 and it basically says that it's a new offense to in danger their life somebody by identifying them that could be online or social media and this bill will also fight against clandestine schools and it will make homeschooling much much more difficult the idea of ensuring that all children have access to their right a right to education we know that doctors issue virginity certificates will now

face prison and fines possibly as well and we know that the religious associations will now have to declare foreign funding muslims have long criticized this law it's been debated for the last few months saying that they are unfairly targeted by it and in fact this war has already provoked huge reaction in some muslim majority countries who've also been unhappy about the fact that present defended the fact that blasphemy is not illegal here in france now islamic scholars have described president macaroons views as being racist while the turkish president talked about this law specifically and said that it was open provocation. for micron as a burden on france macron and france are going through a very dangerous period actually my hope is that france gets rid of this mccrone trouble as soon as possible but some here in france see that this doesn't go far

enough they say that there needs to be a real declaration. war against islam ist separatism here in france so they will be huge about reaction to this this bill now after being approved by the council of ministers will go to the parliament in 2021 where it will be debated and i'm sure those debates are going to be incredibly heated as will the reaction on the street . still to come this hour joe biden has announced his nominee for secretary of defense a retired general who was the main architect of the u.s. led against islamic state in syria and iraq details on that story and more after this part. of the. show seem

wrong why don't we just don't all. get to shape our disdain. and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcome back turkey's president has condemned an alleged racist incident that interrupted a champions league match between paris and german and istanbul b'soxee here and the french capital scandal involved a match official but present i don't want has pointed his finger elsewhere artie's alexy picks up the story well it's not too often that events at a football pitch turned political but that is the case when the turkish president lashed out at the french authorities for an incident on the bridge involving a romanian official let's listen to what aragon had to say this approach is forgivable or determined times will continue france has become a country where racist rhetoric actions are intensified now of course there has been some sort of a war of words between president aragon and his french counterpart a man known for

a while now but in this case of course the official was romanian it was a usa for match held in paris between barry sounds german and istanbul bush actually here now the incident happened just about midway through the game when one of the officials was clarifying as to which stuff member of the turkish club he needed to send off for unsportsmanlike behavior and after that he used the word black but used it in romanian which in romanian sounded very close to an offensive word in english that caused a very angry reaction from the entire bench of the istanbul club and the club itself the team decided to walk off the pitch in protest believing this was a racist incident now of course this caused now widespread condemnation you a for promised very thorough investigation into this case and the club itself but the sons are among the french club came out with this statement. all forms of racism go against the values held by parisa and the club's chairman staff and players there are however opposing forces in this case believing that this was not

a case of racism one of them is a former liverpool what ford and england national team player john barnes who left out on twitter saying that this official was simply speaking his language and this was not a case of racism as it often happens these days in the world in any case the match will be replayed at least that part of the match which wasn't played last night will be replayed tonight in paris with a different set of officials but it's interesting to see whether emmanuel necron will respond to this swipe by his counterpart regard is that the french really had nothing to do with it. as president elect joe biden has chosen a retired general as his defense secretary if approved by the senate 67 year old the lord austin would 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 that ultimately beat back. lloyd austin served under the obama administration a leading u.s. central command he was the main military architect of the u.s. led offensive against islamic state in syria and iraq he is widely remembered for admitting that a 500000000 dollar training program in syria had failed back in 2015 it was shut down after producing just a few trained fighters and said of the several 1000 planned. 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 we're talking 445 years is that still the goal to have about $12000.00 of them there is that still the goal what's the expectation then for them at the pace we're

gone we want to reach the goal that we had initially established for shelves but but but 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 lord austin's candidacy 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 in all matters. trumps defense secretary also who had who come through 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 or

austin but peculiarly as you know will be honest about it i mean he is old. would be the 1st black man who would be head of the pentagon so i don't think anyone with any hurdles in his way in canada's ontario province people who refuse supposedly voluntary backs nation against code could face certain restrictions that's a 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 those remarks come amid concerns that people will be made to have them but the authorities are insisting that vaccination will be voluntary earlier account of this prime minister announced that the country would receive its 1st doses of pfizer's vaccine next week

political analyst also under burner says the threatened restrictions are the best way to make people distrust the vaccine. i think. forcing people to be vaccinated 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 that any rate the 1st people who would be vaccinated will be medical staff and personnel in high risk places for example or. other similar facilities so i think the until you health ministers position was irresponsible in fact because i myself become even more. concerned about this

practice in. mexico's president has proposed a new bill to tighten the restrictions on foreign agents operating in the country but the move is widely seen as targeting u.s. counter-narcotics officials the bill requires agents to share information with the mexican authorities and would deny them immunity for any crimes committed or contacts with potential informants would also come under greater scrutiny as local public servants well have to inform the government of any meetings or phone calls with foreign agents at the former head of international operations at the u.s. drug enforcement administration says the changes would be harmful recruiting informants can come to a screeching halt which would be more detrimental to mexico than the us we have a large platform of informants in mexico. the proposal comes after the arrest of a former mexican defense secretary in los angeles an october he was arrested in the

u.s. on charges that included drug trafficking and money laundering mexico accuses the u.s. of violating in 1992 pact as it wasn't informed about the investigation mexico based professor guadalupe kora cabrera says they propose restrictions on foreign agents are driven by mistrust this investigation was not shared with mexico because it was supposedly a mistrust between the 2 governments so these investigations you know all with mexico has called collaborative mexico has collaborated very closely with the united states with information and even we. we allowing them to be in the mexican territory even armed and collaborating in operations that they have not share the information and these information that has not been checked has put. mexican law enforcement agencies and the stability of the country under risk so the

reason why mexico is is is limiting the participation of u.s. law enforcement agencies probably this has more to do with the d.n.a. has to do with this lack of collaboration the illegal. you know recordings and alterations that's a breakdown of today's top headlines for now but if you're looking for more you can always had tar website r.t. dot com thanks for tuning in.

yes there is a saying but i think they're on the cheap. and then you went through all the countries let's ideas that write this code to us come he said to me give them everything slip into. this country. this is what we don't understand how we are in such

a country. as a person to come on the bus in time to. go into. the saloon to run up a similar. one legged because if you feel if the minutes of not that i got to meet belief again in ellard with the phone about the food without the plane. would come up to the 3 story you have to see. if you move. the. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we've seen ferry sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids and invited america under

the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she did those at their dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer soon is to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the governments. hello and welcome to cross talk are all things are considered on pure labelle what is the fate of the progressive movement can it continue to co-exist with the

mainstream establishment left is its current trajectory electorial did it and 10 progressive's be part of a greater political realigning. to discuss this and more i'm joined by my guests jamie right in los angeles she is the founder of the right ball firm and political and also in los angeles we have to read what is about she is an independent journalist and co-host of the congo couch and in new york we have john burnett he is co-chair of public affairs and public policy for new york republican state committee right across up rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i was appreciate it may i was going to you know of an los angeles as a put the progressive on the panel here what is the state of the progressive movement now you did get the vote out for joe biden you did it at least

rhetorically and publicly close ranks and as the presumptive president of the united states next will be inaugurated in january he's done everything his power to shown progressive so was it worth it well i would say that progressive is extremely fractured at this moment there are a lot of people on the left who feel that now that we're taken for granted and alosi that's all there is our progress that a lot of peace. all of them saw the progress and it has become a rebranding of a new wing of the democratic party one that isn't really challenging the status quo politicians even if you look at the squad they're not really challenging nancy pelosi when it comes to that is more stimulus package she just pushed out which basically cut the money and have from what was initially going to happen so there is a huge fracturing in the progressive movement it is a lot of people voted for joe biden thinking that they were making damage and.
