oh. these. would be to be able to use this in the. u.k. regulators warning people with severe allergies to avoid. 6 people who. are coming up on the. french president pushes ahead with. extreme measures which include surveillance.

broadcasting live from moscow every hour of the day this is your international my names you know your company. british health regulators are warning people with a history of allergic reactions against taking the. vaccine it comes after 2 people who received the job one day from the u.k. launched a much 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 politically cebu injection 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 advance 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 it 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.

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 test 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 the symptoms of partial thinks will 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 do not represent a frequency above that expected in the general population. they've already dismissed these concerns in 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 this 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 risk if they take the vaccine obviously it must be it is understood that every call to cut safety they believe had to be cut to get a room to rule of actually doubt 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 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 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 couche right because

the of taking us through that we also heard from epidemiologist march of the normally he say's the revelations pose grave concerns over the safety of the pfizer bio on tech job. the. brits. mostly want you aided by it but at least the senate race company summit corporation it was they are so motivated by how the. owner market doesn't always work there she orders behind the scenes their execution going to interest the sorry and the other 7 are divorced and doris we have terry in the case of the astra zeneca but soon they start a serious thing somebody did i'm not going to reports of oh no don't you go don't lose now i'm in the only reporter talking about big asian scientists in all the suffering from memphis to the area and energy. issues some serious i mean it could be. these are are serious things they should be so don't investigate it this is not

only a thing that gorman should know before they order. the scenes but also to power he has to be informed of the intimate if you will decision as to whether dainty citizens and. signed an executive order in that ensuring americans have priority when it comes to access to vaccines produced in the u.s. both the going and incoming presidents are updates about the prospects 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 9000 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

well this week 3 pfizer biotech vaccine is expected to become the 1st to be approved for emergency use in the u.s. but supplies will be limited as many doses have already been shipped abroad kill up and 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 a 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 1st 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 ministration 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 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

covered 900 x.e. 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're confident that we'll have 100000000 doses to 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

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 where human rights groups are warning of an upcoming shortage of covert vaccines in low income countries due to hoarding by rich nations a report by the people of the vaccine alliance which includes the international oxfam. nations have reserved enough to cover their populations at least 3 times over until the and all of next year as a result it will be one in 10 people in the 70 per country east will have access to covert jobs the group is urging farm adjoins to share their intellectual property to allow other firms to produce the drugs of a lower cost they claim it would give billions more people the chance to be vaccinated. well let's take into this story i'm very happy to say that mucks lawson

head of inequality policy out international joins us live on the program thanks for doing so max i would put it to you 1st though that isn't it inevitable that each country is going to protect its own interest and look after its own citizens 1st and yes and we would certainly not blame them for doing that you know it would be suicidal politician who did not look off to his own citizens and here in the u.k. where i am in london you know it was amazing in the joy yesterday we saw people being burned in 1000 point is we do not think. for rich countries not you know when the united kingdom to protect the profits and the intellectual property in the milk when they have these big pharmaceutical companies so that they have enough vaccine for themselves but they don't know facts and nation for the world so we're not saying that rich countries should not banks and. we're saying they should also use

them power the huge leverage remember this is masses of public money and in fact europe already was incorrect and we didn't get any money from the u.s. government boyo in technique who actually invented the back scene in germany got hundreds of millions of euros from the german government so all the candidates that we're hearing. were funded using taxpayers' money these are public property and not a prop to profit when they will it's going to the nuts and bolts of the law because most of the rich countries haven't actually got hold of the vaccine doses yet they've just reserve them so surely if they have a surplus we're saying maybe up to 5 times per person more than is needed in certain countries they could end up on the global markets in a lot of. yes that's possible they may well deny. the market but that doesn't solve the problem or very high prices it doesn't solve the problem in the long run

because if this is a vaccine we have to take the fact that for this one off. have a surplus is not going to tell the problem in the medium term the only thing that will solve the problem in the medium term is the mass production of cheap and effective vaccine buying companies in developing countries and the only way to do that is for these firms these big pharmaceutical corporations to share recipes if you like the technology into the actual property. so that any firm owner can make a safe and effective vaccine through their people who will but by making these huge financial commitments pledging billions of dollars for drugs that aren't market ready are the richer nations doing the rest of the world a favor by funding all the research and development which are the big costs. no if we're in a situation where those parents are. going to origination it's been. all these public money has been invested in the research and development and as

a result we believe. by the public by our public good it seems crazy to us to invest all these public money only to privatized and prioritize the profits of a huge company like far as i remember. sending this vaccine percent profit even though as i said the technology was funded by the. how can that make any sense to anyone and it's much much better to use this public investment by rich countries on behalf of the planet to have. everyone was generally in an epidemic yet what generally happens in an epidemic situation as we've seen over the last decade or so is that more and more vaccines tend to come to market plunging the price it's then that developing nations they can buy for a tiny fraction of what it was of course so i would suggest that some countries don't want to pay premium prices right now you're saying to give the intellectual

property and do it for free but there's another aspect as well is that they can wait and see perhaps and work out the kinks after a while and see if there are any side effects to a number of vaccines and then pick the best one. i'm not sure tom's on anyone saw it i mean i think just 2 days ago mexico lost 900 people one die hundreds of thousands of people dying in latin america many more and every day that passes the idea that this is a crisis i don't need rich countries and it's only because we hear about it on the news you know many many people are dying and it's it's still it's like a strange luxury to say that poor countries can somehow sit and wait to the vaccine get cheaper how many people are going to die before the happened i think is a much much more effective way to do this and it was the way we saw all of the aids epidemic within the moment which is the mass production of cheap effective drugs and you can only do that as we saw with. if you smash through this intellectual

property and this part of what there's and there's a marxist there there's a there's a trying to be laudable versus religious and if you're going to give away your intellectual property you've got these big big companies who are spending billions are you're saying that from the public purse as well but what incentive do they actually have to do all that work bring it to market and then just give it away it's it's not going to happen is it no one's asking them to give away get away from them not to make an 80 percent profit as you see with the aids meds and generic manufacturers everyone makes their money no one is going to give these things away for free that's the point the point is the internet you propose and the barriers that puts out on behalf of these big pharmaceutical company need to enormous profit why beyond what's reasonable and in this situation is public money in the public good i think as to the money and we see rich nations making their population safe

and we still see many many people dying in poor countries the pressure on the brands of these thomases confirms the kind of more along here which is again what happened with anchovy and who's going to be huge it is no in the interest of pfizer to be seen to be putting its. mexican's. pressure coming. these companies just just another aspect of touch upon much we're running out of time but get your thoughts on it's not just the west of course developing vaccines you've got the world health organization backing a global vaccine scheme known as kovacs that's $189.00 countries china russia india they're all developing drugs and a lot of the drugs actually go to the west or from some of those nations so perhaps low income nations will not have to the pen and western farm and. that's certainly what we think the russian back. to china means one i think again the news is dominated by what's happening in the u.s.

and. you're absolutely right there are other candidates out there and we hope that they are safe and effective and may offer more of a long long to developing country but again i think you hit the nail on the head there is lots of capacity to produce what we would call the people's backs and in many developing countries but that capacity is not being fully because of intellectual property because of the secrecy behind this technology technology that is publicly funded so we think we can move beyond a profit back into a people which is ultimately in the interests of the global economy it doesn't make sense to us to kind of hope will be global economy in the interest to protect the profits. and just. what we said w.h.o. king at 181 countries 2000000000 doses by the end of 2021 to have any hopes for that. i think congress is a great thing and that's where we go figure poor countries have secured one for

every 10 people about only 3. only long want to see the country come back she's being pushed to the back of the cuba rich nation only managed to secure 700000000 students when i mean to do so we need to see. vaccines on the market and the only way to do that not to more want to open up production and see this kind of mass production is flooding the world to siphon effect to banks and. mechanisms like this which are great things will be able to function at the moment they start to resume and then having to pay high prices for exactly how it proceeds from banks and being pushed to the back of the people rich nations thanks for coming on the program and sharing their view of oxfam international on your own of course lawson head of inequality policy the charity international banking.

laws little groups in front of lashed out at the government over a new bill which targets islamic radicalism the measures being pushed by president like follow a wave of terrorist attacks on will include tougher surveillance from mosques and curbs on home schooling in paris with more charlotte. it was presented to the council of ministers on wednesday and it has now been approved by the prime minister care sticks was giving his press conference following that outlining parts of the bill he said that this is about promoting republican values fighting against separatism that 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 had to defend itself and it had to emancipate its citizens from the yoke of religion. radical islam islam is an ideology directed to divide easy and spreading hatred and violence in society has

you faced with this the republic intends to defend themselves of brawlers the party's local authorities now will have more power to deal with religious spend news where they say there is hate speech coming from them whether there is a call to violence 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 now 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 a huge reaction in some muslim majority countries who've also been unhappy about the fact that present mackarness 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 macross trouble as soon as possible but some here in france say that this law doesn't go far enough they say that it needs to be a real declaration on a war against islam ist separatism here in france so there will be a huge amount 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 at going to be incredibly heated as will the reaction on the street. u.s. president elect joe biden chosen

a retired general as his defense secretary if approved by the senate 67 year old lloyd austin would become the 1st black person 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 turned to austin who then led the u.s. central command he designed and executed the campaign that ultimately beat back isis lloyd austin served honorably obama administration leading the u.s. central command he was the main military architect of the u.s. led offensive against the islamic state in syria under a rock he was widely remembered for admitting that a $500000000.00 training program in syria had failed buchan 2015 it was shut down after producing literally a one full of train fighters instead of the several 1000 planned. can you tell us

what the total number of trained fighters remains it's a small number. the ones that are in the fight. is is we're talking 445 so 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 going we want to reach the goal that we had initially establish for ourselves 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 a lloyd austin is killed in the sea is the fact 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 georgia merely told me he believes exceptions will be made to the rules general mattis. trumps the then secretary also had. 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 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 all stand but they can really 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's going to want any hook. ok to a story and then to the topic that's got a lot of people talking this week in canada's on tare or province people who refuse supposedly voluntary vaccination against corbett could face a number of restrictions that is the wording of the province's 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 yeah a little bit vague isn't it the health officials remarks come amid concerns that people will be made to have the job the authorities are insisting as well we can just about make out there that vaccination will be voluntary earlier calibers prime minister announced up the country would receive its 1st doses of pfizer's vaccine next week political analyst alison that bruno sees the threat and restrictions are the best way to make people trust in a 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 at any rate the 1st people who would be vaccinated will be medical staff and personnel in high risk places for example or the jones and. other similar facilities so i think the until you health minister position was irresponsible in fact because i myself become even more. concerned about this. well not as our last for this are both the news room just off 'd camera are busy together all putting the latest dates for you i'll bring them in up by 30 minutes time on r t international to hope you'll join me again then good bye for now. which

is a planet with 5 moods an atmosphere highly active geology and evidence for water of the ocean in syria it could. be of those for biology is just far beyond our wildest imagination. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see me very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids and invited to america under the banner of medicine he persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers all

the government. is you'll be d. a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. away. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows.
