the shares plummet after the u.k. has a warning to its code for those with a history of allergies and america's drug regulator reveals 6 people died during trials with facial paralysis a possible side effect. do you. think that it wasn't. clearly getting emotional while calling for tougher to cope with restrictions such as in the book just as germany sees a record number of chances of people hasn't won over everyone. after 15 years to america germany is a country that does not want to protect its borders against illegal immigration and instead imposing a curfew senate seat isn't. rounding on facebook the u.s.

government and almost every single u.s. state taking legal action against the social media giant accuser get a breaking the law to maintain its own mind dominance. and today marks exactly 15 years that our team has been on earth throughout the day we'll be bringing you a look back at some of the major stories from a decade of questioning more. by that thanks so much for joining us 1 pm here in the russian capital this is art . in the pharmaceutical giant pfizer dropped nearly 2 percent on wednesday on the news of deaths and warnings in the u.k. people with a history of allergic reactions were advised against taking. company's kovi job

well in the u.s. drug regulator the f.d.a. revealed the 6 people had died during trials though it's stress that this was no cause for concern and that it was within statistical expectations later on thursdays deciding whether to give the vaccine approval for emergency use in the use united states artie's rug as the earth has more. this was very very bad for publicity at a time when people are already nervous with all the rush that scene's all the cut corners and now warnings any person with a history of a significant allergic reaction to a vaccine medicine or food should not receive the pfizer beyond vaccine how did they miss during clinical trials that people with severe allergies best stay the heck away from pfizer's vaccine was hardly a mere coincidence 2 british nurses went down with a severe reaction on the 1st day of public vaccination the question it begs is what

outs that pfizer mean is that in addition to what we already knew that the vaccine can cause pain headaches fatigue fever swelling and potentially even think szell 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 look that genes can take decades to test it is a miracle that so many have been developed so quickly a marvel of silence and rest assured if pfizer's that exceed most of this save this possible wouldn't be allowed anywhere near you at the press sold it is all but a gift from god pfizer makes a final push drug company pfizer says it is a great day for science this is really a historic day we have pfizer the company's vaccine is not only safe it is

effective authorities doctors scientists watchdogs a confident it's safe more or less and every death during clinical trials was thoroughly investigated a total of 6 of unrolled participants died during the reporting period all deaths represent advanced that occur in the general population of the. groups where they occurred at a similar rate again it's unlikely their words that the pfizer vaccine caused any deaths but what is me is that we learn that people had died during clinical trials and that others had developed think szell paralysis we learned this not from pfizer who made the vaccine but from the f.d.a. whose job it is to greenlight mass vaccinations and it's very safe to say that people would be grateful for a little more transparency when it comes to knowing what exactly it is that's being injected into their they they are suggesting

a serious not only functional it's an incision but also most. people targeted or that particular person the main question here is to assess what clinical decision or. data correlation. between the doctors of the science of the scene and the actual death of those people these are serious things that has to be that they have they should be sure investigated. and the public and it probably should be informant i mean this is not only a team that gorman should know before the order. but also for the party has to be formed. and you're going to see shouldn't a store where there are 2 disagreement you can kind of understand those who are uncertain everyone's jump in march they were telling us that a vaccine would take years few months ago they were bashing the russian vaccine

saying there's no way it could have been tested properly and now here we are wise it's vaccine is out albeit with undocumented side effects and surprisingly if unpleasantly eventful clinical trial history the end of the day the vaccine is as safe as it can be that's parched european american. testing in rigorous standards there really isn't much to worry about but it would be nice to get a little more information in the future not have to learn about facial paralysis only after that sedation has begun in the meantime new york lawmakers have introduced a bill to make over $1000.00 vaccination mandatory amid a storm of criticism the bill would require those in the state without sufficient immunity to have the child but only if it's deemed safe for them to have it association of american physicians and surgeons says that it would amount to a violation of human rights is what new yorkers think of the bill. well it happened

with england yesterday that could be huge i think depending on how that goes we're going to be more inspired and feel safer to take it in that's the part of the 2 we're really questioning. you know if people have their decree actions to accedes sure even try and get it so you know there's no question that our answer is it's a good idea for people to actually. i'm sure there's many pitfalls and all the support personnel the real civil liberties part of our our bill of rights fully fully support those rights but i also have to consider if there are public health risks move back scene is important but it's not mandatory as the common thing can be the same way mandating it seems like it might actually work cause more problems than a texas just because it might get people. to what their backs against the wall but i think everyone should take it i mean it is concerning but i'm the only way

forward is trial and error so obviously i want to like it might be down the aisle but i think there's a way as long as it's proven to be safe for people even medical exceptions that are real medical exceptions yeah i would be in favor of. the festive season in germany has had some of the shine taken out of it with the grim specter of the pandemic looming on tuesday the country saw a record of in the 600 daily deaths discussing the need for a tougher response in the bundestag chancellor angela merkel became uncovered to risk the cli emotional does what this is i don't know my nothing of any student and teacher in the field and yes i'm late to begin some lessons i don't feel asian i'm 60 mother the mother took me go say they are going no they miss most i don't live in michigan i'm not going to do that i target the elite and in this instance. however the chancellor's lockdown proposals have drawn outrage from opposition politicians who have lashed out at michael's government for failing to provide

effective covert measures be to all of us will. it was an impassioned angler merkel an emotional german chancellor who addressed the german bundestag on wednesday she was speaking to the people of germany as well as the lawmakers do implore them to agree to much stricter covert 19 restrictions this is after 590 people died on tuesday that's a record for germany isn't in and we're in a crucial phase of the pandemic control all the historical experience shows that the 2nd wave of the pandemic is much more difficult than the 1st one if it was i'd like to simply say if we now have too many contacts before christmas enough to us it will be the last christmas with the grandparents then we will have failed we should not do that the german chancellor is in agreement with the german academy of sciences and the plan that they put forward for a stricter lockdown they would want to see all schools and kindergartens finished

on the 14th of december for an extended christmas new year break they would also want to see all non-essential retail close with as many people as possible working from home or the chancellor's plea was integrated very well now after 15 years of america germany is a country that does not want to protect its borders against illegal immigration and its instead imposing curfews and its citizens and dispatching legions of police officers to control mask wearing on the trains. into these are purely symbolic restrictions which firstly are ineffective secondly the interfere disproportionately with people's freedoms and thirdly they really intended to simulate a planned course of action for the audience but heading into the christmas and new year's holidays the chancellor implored german citizens to be responsible the country had done exceptionally well in the 1st wave of the coronavirus those days

same a long way away. now. social media giant facebook won't likely be hitting the like button even use is being sued by almost every state in america or over 90 trusts concerns the country's federal trade commission to has filed a lawsuit and is pushing for a breakup of the company something facebook is like into revisionist history legal action targets facebook's acquisitions of instagram and what some platforms or facebook is really coming under fire now that it is facing an antitrust lawsuit from the state's attorneys general of 48 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 and hurt small businesses reduce 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 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. and that the large tech meucci has been

criticised by some for supposedly stifling free speech after the platform to decision to remain videos alleging voter fraud in the us election this is what the company had to say we also work to make sure that the line between what is removed and what is allowed is drawn in the right place our policies prohibit misleading viewers about where and how to vote we also disallow content alleging widespread fraud or errors change the outcome of a historical us presidential election the decision comes after the so-called safe harbor deadline that's the last day on which states can challenge the election you tube says that the passing of that deadline was one of the reasons for deleting the videos though the platform has actually been removing thousands of election videos going back to september it all comes as the trump of ministration takes the election all the way to the supreme court in the meantime many videos skin turning unproven allegations they remain up on you tube they include claims of russian

collusion going back to the 26000 us election also conspiracy theories about the 911 terrorist attacks you choose decision to remove vote fraud allegations has rubbed some people though the wrong way starting today they will remove content about election fraud even though there are court cases about election fraud going through the system at this very moment your free speech the bindings are coming google owns you tube officially announcing free speech no longer allowed if you have concerns about election integrity you must sit down and shut up repeal section 230 and break these companies up. corporate media and liberal politicians claim for years trump's election was illegitimate due to russian collusion and you tube promoted them right now what we see is that you tube has declared itself the arbiter of the 2020 election even though there are still active court cases going

on in the supreme court challenging results so it's if you're really anywhere not just the us this should scare you we do not want an elected officials like the people who work at google and deciding what we can and cannot say in regard to politics slowly but surely we have seen tech companies like you tube but facebook and twitter as well start to exert more control and more censoring of what their users say this is concerning this is absolutely a threat to free speech and if you're someone who believes that you should be able to say whatever opinions you want then you need to look at this seriously because yes these are private companies but at the same time the way the public discourse has evolved a century these online platforms function as the public square. a mob of about us elections texas has filed a lawsuit to the supreme court against old battleground states one by joe biden we'll look into that story after this break.

when i almost seemed wrong but i. just don't call. me. yet to say proud just to become educated and engaged with equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the global free up money ponzi scheme has at the my 1st i missed out collapsing like burning made of collapsed and now we're going back to poverty so the answer is always bad you need actual sound money like gold but of course that doesn't work so

much as big coin does and what will happen is they'll be hundreds of millions and billions of people in the world that will say to their such a bank and they're in their nation state government they'll say you know we're not interested in money anymore we just want to have our own money have our own peace of mind and you can go away. this is father lawsuit with the supremes court against 4 key states won by president elect joe biden the case is now being supported by 17 more states in turn the general of texas alleges that wisconsin pennsylvania georgia and michigan illegally changed their election laws compromising the result of the 2020 presidential vote certain officials in the defendant's states presented the pandemic as the justification for ignoring state laws regarding absentee and mail

in voting the defendant states flooded the citizenry with tens of millions of ballots applications and ballots interrogation of statutory controls as to how they are lawfully received evaluated and counted. little suit doesn't alleged voter fraud but points out that there were voting irregularities we asked legal and political analyst lionel why the case is so important the reason why this is important is that under article 3 of our constitution the supreme court is the site have a regional jurisdiction meaning you go directly to the supreme court in cases of lawsuit or dispute between states was very rare for the supreme court to hear or the answer anything. but in this particular case the supreme court is acting now as an appellate court not as an appeals court but as the original court and this is unlike any other case this is that it does allege that it

is against the constitution for the courts in essence to change the rules of elections they should be done so by legislatures this is unlike any other case because it goes directly to the supreme court and it's being brought by states and not people that's critical. space x. starship project to suffered a setback after a prototype exploded while attempting to land incident occurred on wednesday evening after a high altitude sub orbital flight test in texas. the flight which was to test things that range from engine performance through to written on it capabilities had gone well so much so the space x. found has already called the launch

part of our anniversary coverage today we're going to take a look back now at our focus on the unrest in fronts in recent years. the streets were packed when the yellow vests 1st started in protests but it wasn't just demonstrators out in the streets it was also journalists say it to cover the story weeks and then months passed on the protests refused to stop while the numbers didn't reach the dizzying heights of nov 28th scene that was still a big presence what became noticeable though was that the interest from the foreign press soon evaporated but not to us we stayed with them week in week out gas coming to does have to move away from it and here we've also had rubber bullets being deployed each tea is streaming down my face again as a result of tear gas i can't tell you how many times that we've been gassed who's

protesting took nosed of continued coverage there was even a sense of gratitude that someone was still broadcasting that cools. that's not to say that we didn't showing a light a limb for gooing to fall. we covered the yellow vests movement for over a year it erupted as

a spontaneous social movement and the strength of its voice led to real changes in fronts changes that came from the very top that. perhaps it was the work of some journalists the prevented the public message their voices from being lost yet it's our job as reporters to do that and despite receiving international recognition for doing so others saw our presence as being untoward just like we have much of what we've been working on here. russia today and sputnik have not behaved as media outlets and journalists organs of influence and false propaganda ever since jupiter came to the lees a palace it was clear that we were out and without access to government sources it's a bit difficult to tell the government's side of the story but we have to continue to do that and we are not going to stop telling difficult stories covering

inequality speaking to police officers on the brink to migrants facing the realities of arriving in europe giving a voice to the under represented. by you watching mr merkel on. this is what part of the south side of the cali jungle looks like and those living just meters away a thinking about where to go next. it's a reception center where migrants can register it to possibly start. drawing. says you can see this slum that's emerged here is brimming with rubbish it's also a fasted with rats but more worryingly this has become a haunt sport for crack addicts. what concerns do you have about letting people into your home

a fiscal 0 or there's nothing exists so i cannot tell you that i will be 100 percent sure that they are not. i can see now the scientists have let fly at one of these a ferry case the police are just about a 100 meters down in the distance it appears r.t. became a convenient explanation for things going wrong in the republic and feel as if france is woes in africa didn't stem from colonialization in the 1st place most of the. o.t. is seen as being a thorn in the side of the government here we tell stories die good stories from many angles we take to the frontline and sometimes that means that we are cool to the freight we've been struck by both the police and by protesters we have had many

doors close to us now but we continue to do what we always set out to do and that is to question. an average about it today appreciate your company today here on r.t. on this special day for us hope you'll join me 1st and join us i should say my colleague jackie they go behave with more and often island. which is a planet with signs. and atmosphere highly active geology. with water since your. nose for biology is just far beyond our wildest imaginations.

yes. and that's connection to mom i'm glad samson asked for the last company and seeing and on the day today for the match promotion commission. branching shifts. shoot on disk in the. future. no new car so said i'm not going to much to the mama just

stacy makes out finding a very fetching visit mesmerising yeah i'm pulling you in my vortex of love. so i have a pretty funny interesting crazy headline here the 1st tweet and you know i saw a and i thought it was a joke great big partly because this guy calls himself right honorable the right honorable right ok the right are noble grant shops he says new business traveler exemption from 4 am on saturday the 5th of december high value business travelers will no longer need to self isolate when returning to england from a country not in a travel corridor allowing more travel to support the economy and jobs conditions apply high value business travelers don't have to go into quarantine because it's just the pledges in the all this ordinary people out there is the filth of the

peasants but them have brioche while they sit in quarantine right i mean that's pretty remarkable right everyone knows coming doesn't attack the political plutocrats. but there's any any headline that comes out of the britain i would say 99 percent of it can be interpreted as class war right this is a country that's mired in class war this is another example of class war you have a permanent underclass fighting a permanent some i monarchy and it's amusing after a while i used to take it seriously then i realized this never going to change and it's just comical well he's an m.p. for a while when hart hatfield and the secretary of state for transport i don't know why he calls himself the right honorable probably because as you said a cat cabinet position i also saw that is something to do with the privy council and the privy i thought was an outhouse like an outdoor toilet so i don't know what privy council is.
