so join us in the. forum in the shallows. you can regulators more people with severe allergies should avoid. a reaction. warning as america's drug authority reveals 6 people taking part in the trials for the vaccine. seeking to split facebook comes under fire of the u.s. government and the coalition of $48.00 states sued the social media giant using it of using illegal tactics to maintain its dominance. france pushes ahead with a bill aimed at tackling islamic extremism with measures including the surveillance of mosques.

here in the russian capital you're watching r.t. international. welcome to the program. british health regulators are warning people with a history of allergic reactions against taking the new coronavirus vaccine comes after 2 people who receive the job suffer the reaction on day one of the u.k.'s mass 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 have a history of allergies and they're very very 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're 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 this 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 seem 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 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 do 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 this large tens of thousands of people somebody with or without a vaccine should have experience that 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 was cut safely they believe had to be cut to get a room to rule a vaccine 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 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. just to shut off a lot of the knowledge there is the news raises questions about. these. brits. mostly want you need to buy it but at least this increase company summit corporation it was they are so what do they get 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 sooner all standoffs we have terror in the case of the astra zeneca assume the star student thing somebody did do a noble reports of oh no don't you go now in new delhi or talking about big asians are no use in all the suffering from memphis to the area and energy. issues and the dr seuss i mean it could be. these are serious things they should be so that investigated this is not only

a thing that goldman should know before the order. scenes but also the party has to be formed for the intimate if you will decision as to where there are decent seats and. when all trump asan an executive order reign but ensuring americans have priority when it comes to access the vaccine is produced in the us. and the president elect joe biden are confident 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 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 well this week the plaza vaccine is expected to become the 1st to be approved for

emergency use in the united states surprise they will be limited as many doses have already been shipped abroad and i'm open has the details. 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. 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 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. 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 says you need to do this is per person $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 dollars if the pfizer is vaccine is agreed to a contract and beyond that we have 5 other vaccine candidates including $100000000.00 just on the way from. what does this america 1st document really mean pfizer privately funded its work without u.s. government support so washington cannot force its will to be 1st on the company and

its free to sell its back across the planet private property and free markets something that america loves human rights groups of warning of an upcoming shortage of coverage vaccines in poor countries a report by the people of vaccine alliance which includes amnesty international and oxfam found the wealthy nations have reserve enough vaccine to cover their populations 3 times over until the end of next year as a result only one in 10 people in the 70 poorest countries will have access to cover jobs the group says an. intellectual property when i was the firms that produced the drug costs. discussed the issue with oxfam smacked. the. politicians. point is we do not think it's acceptable for rich countries not. to protect the profits and the internet to prove to the monopoly of these big pharmaceutical companies so

that they have enough vaccine for themselves. and nation for the. candidate that we're hearing. well funded using taxpayers' money these are public property and not proper to private trying to be laudable versus realism and if you're going to give away your intellectual property you've got these big big companies who are spending billions or 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 not going to happen is it everyone makes their money no one is going to give these things they're working for free that's the point the point is the intellectual property and the barriers that puts up on behalf of these big pharmaceutical companies need to enormous profit way beyond what is reasonable and in this situation is public money in the public good i think as to the months unfold and we see rich nations making their populations and we still see many many

people dying in poor countries so the pressure on the brands of these pharmaceutical firms the kind of moral arguments are we think we can move beyond the profit banks in into a people's backs which is always in the in the interest of the global economy it doesn't make sense to us to kind of hobble we global economy in the interests of protecting the profits. and kind of on taria province people refuse supposedly voluntary vaccination over 19 could face a number of restrictions as the warning coming from the provinces health minister there may be some restrictions in terms of travel or other restrictions step 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 or the health officials remarks come amid concerns that people we may need to have the job authorities though are insisting that vaccination will be voluntary kind of as prime minister announced the country will receive its 1st of 5 as a vaccine next week there's

a lot less said the threatened restrictions aren't an ideal way to make people trust that 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 will be back to need it will be medical staff and personnel in high risk places for example all the jones and 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. social media giant facebook won't be hitting the like button over news it's being sued by almost every state in the us and the trust concern and interest federal trade commission has filed a lawsuit as well that's pushing for a breakup of the company the legal action targets facebook's acquisitions of the instagram and what's our platforms. facebook has maintained its monopoly position by buying up companies that present competitive threats and by imposing restrictive policies that unjustifiably into actual will potential rivals to facebook does not school can also require facebook is really coming under fire now that it is facing an anti-trust lawsuit from the state's attorneys general of $48.00 different states across the united states the allegation that's being made in this lawsuit essentially states that facebook has violated the law and violated competitive

behavior during its acquisition in the early 201314 of instagram and whatsapp at the time that facebook acquired instagram it had about 30000000 users today it has over a 1000000000 users worldwide at the time that it acquired facebook said that instagram wasn't really a competitor but today instagram has become very much a competitor to facebook and fully integrated into the facebook system for advertising data collection of users and even cross promotion of post here's what some of those states attorneys general had to say about the lawsuit today we are sending a clear and strong message to facebook and every other company that any efforts to stifle competition. hurt small businesses reduced innovation and creativity will be met with the full force of our offices the f.t.c. filed their own lawsuit against facebook today as well. and we look forward to collaborating with them in the litigation process now what makes this lawsuit very

different than the antitrust action that was brought by the department of justice against google earlier this year in the united states is that during the antitrust action against google the u.s. government said that it had no prescription is prescribed no actual solution to the problem but in this case things are very different in this case the state's attorneys general are calling for an actual divestment of instagram and whatsapp what does that mean it means that if these states attorneys general when their lawsuit they would force facebook to actually sell off the assets of whatsapp and instagram a very big deal in the tech world. muslim groups in france of lashed out of the government over a new bill which targets islamic radicalism and i just follow a wave of terror attacks will make it easier to stop mosques receiving foreign aid and offer more protection from or the world community this show to do with your reports from paris. 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 dividing people and spreading hatred and violence in society ceased with the republic intends to defend itself by local authorities now will have more power to deal with religious venues 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 huge reaction in some muslim majority countries who've also been unhappy about the fact that president 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 see 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 has chosen a retired general as is the friend secretary if approved by the senate 67 year old lloyd austin would become the 1st african-american to lead 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 turn to austin who then

lead u.s. central command he designed and executed a campaign that ultimately beat back are you see this last time served under the obama administration leading the u.s. central command it was the main military architect of the u.s. led offensive against those that mix those in syria and iraq is why i don't remember for admitting a half 1000000000 dollar training program in syria had failed back in 2015 it was shot by a lot of producing literally a high level of trade 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 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 gone we won't reach the goal that we had initially starbucks for shelves but

but. the overall goal is to make sure that we have enough mass to be able to get work done on the ground. well meanwhile a potential stumbling block for lord austin's candidacy is the fact he only were tied 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 somewhere he thinks exceptions will be made to the rules don't all marketers begin trumps defense secretary also had overcome this horrible and he overcame it without too much difficulty of course there was senators that time was there that this is just one or are we 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 also end but they could really. be honest about it i mean he is all. would be the 1st black

man who would be head of the pentagon so i don't think anyone with any hurdles that you. feel mosques space-x. starship project has suffered a setback after a prototype exploded while attempting to land incident happened on wednesday evening after a high altitude suborbital flight test in texas. flight which was to test things ranging from engine performance to capabilities had gone well so much so the space x. founders already called the launch a success adding the company got all the data it needed the starship project has a number of goals including space tourism and mass colonization and while some of the starship went badly its year the company started receiving nasa funding for

billions of people in the world they're such a bank and they're in their nation state and government saying you know what i'm interested in why we just want to have our own money have our own peace of mind and you can go what. do the say. there on the cheap. and then through all the countries. let's ideas right. through this country he said if we give them everything we have to discuss. this country because this is what we don't understand how we are in such a country. ever since in the month of the same time. it was a monumental. similar symbol.

of. got. to the phone. with the plane. to come to the police story you have to see. the best. to. you. i'm after a times are we going underground is britain's code recovered pm boris johnson flies to brussels to try to negotiate with the largest trading block in the world and as this country tries desperately to stem a worse coronavirus death for capita rate than trumps usa or both scenarios brazil

coming out of the show 42 years since the communist party of china voted deng xiaoping paramount leader of the people's republic paving the way for lifting 800000000 people out of poverty we speak to the britain who introduced foster care to the global superpower of the 21st century that is routinely defamed in the west for terminating u.s. . and u.n. predicts coronavirus may push of a 200000000 more people into extreme poverty we speak to a book along with the novelist about his portrayal of london's underbelly of ultraviolet crime arguably created by upper class political ideology and ask why politicians in the media get violent crime so wrong all this more coming up in today's going underground 1st as china looks to the stars after a successful moon landing and with its public health vaccine program looking to be the largest in history on top of lifting 800000000 people out of poverty will nations look to the people's republic not just for public health but for the organization of society itself joining me now is robert glover o.b.e.

whose new book as many as the stars a story of change for the children of china charts the openness of china to respond to new methods of development for children he joins me now from norwich in norfolk rubber welcome to going underground china in the news probably more of a coronavirus but people will know that china's one child policy arguably may. ever helped it become the superpower the 21st century people are going to be surprised on reading your new book that there was no fostering programs for children one of the side effects of that one child policy before you turned up on the scene well that's right thank you very much for having me yes when we landed in china they would point the musea had known no understanding of sources of course most of the children that were either abandoned or found their way into care ended up in institutions and for the very little younger babies got the opportunity for

international doctrine but there was nothing happening in the message in china now you know you write about your child in oratory is mean to me from how bad the book tells of how you were a navy and royal navy submarine are sure in the cold war why is it you didn't seem to have any of the prejudices which are arguably being thrown about now i mean boris johnson has just put 6 enough 1000000000 extra into the military budget and says china is an adversary well why did it not affect you that china is an enemy it's not some country that you need to go out there and help the hundreds of thousands of children that you've helped after all work from an early stage when i was a teenager most teenagers look to hollywood and the united states you know for their attraction are i was just fascinated by this this culture that had gone for centuries very mysterious very interesting their interests and i think once i found

i was there you know how we perceive the chinese is not the way that people on the ground are the people i certainly were work with are are the most humble generous kind hearted and seeing the culturally intricate nature of their family networks and how they make up. additionally the community was fascinating because as we said god and football are big facets of this story take us back to when you arrive in hong kong because you paint a nightmarish picture of british rule dong kong you talk about. triad gangs and. the kind of crying ridden on kong that was very different we see today when we talk about hong kong being encroached by the chinese authorities what was ongoing well i mean again today i'm going to my favorite.
