instead imposing curfew senate. the u.s. government takes legal action against facebook. using the social media giant of breaking the law. today marks exactly 15 years that are to. throughout the day will be looking. strong a decade. of questioning. broadcasting live from the russian capital every hour of the day this is your r.t. international my name's you know neal hello and welcome to the program. u.s. authorities are widely expected to greenlight the funny. vaccine later on thursday regulators are non meeting to discuss emergency use of the cobra job and it comes

despite some major safety concerns with the u.k. warning people with severe allergies against taking the drug and in america itself the f.d.a. has revealed that 6 people died during our senior correspondent i guess the it picks up the story. this was very very bad for publicity at a time when people are already nervous with all the rushed vaccines 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 facial paralysis among non-serious unsolicited adverse events there was an american imbalance of fool cases of bill's palsy in the vaccine group compared with new cases in the placebo group the 4 cases in the vaccine group do not represent a frequency above that expects it in the general population look that scene's can take decades to test it is a miracle that so many have been developed so quickly a marvel of science and rest assured if pfizer's vaccine most of the as safe as possible wouldn't be allowed anywhere near you heck 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. events that occur in the general population of the age groups where they occurred at a similar rate again it's unlikely their words the 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 you can kind of understand those who are uncertain everyone's jumped in march they were telling us that a vaccine would take years few months ago they were bashing the russian vaccine

saying there's new way it could have been tested properly and now here we are pfizer is vaccine is out albeit with undocumented side effects and a surprisingly if unpleasantly eventful clinical trial history if the day the vaccine is as safe as it can be that's passed european american testing and 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 our vaccination has begun. but earlier i spoke with bob jeff and he's a you're only just in vienna and believes that governments need to take a closer look at the potential risks of new vaccines. i was also a bit surprised by this and it's not the only of yeah you know i live in europe we listen to the you may agree member that's why we have those institutions we're not going to listen to companies tell us what to do or to big pharma we would like to

have the facts and the numbers and obviously b.m.a. and if able to also russian officials will look at these data and i think now it's up to you officials are going to chess and all the other institution in the u.k. to look at those complications analyze them and see what component caused those allergic reaction again it's very obvious to all of us that any person who's highly allergic or has an if elected react as is a bad candidate it doesn't mean you should be no can at the end of the day yes there is worries and there will be always a lot of skepticism and discussions lawmakers in new york have introduced a bill to make over 1000 vaccination munda tree sparking a storm of criticism let's go through it the bill would require those in the state without sufficient immunity to be vaccinated but only if it's deemed safe for them to have the job the association of american physicians and surgeons say is doing so

with a mind to a violation of human rights here's what new yorkers think about that proposed law. well it happened with england yesterday that could be huge i think depending on how that goes are going to be more inspired and feel safer to take it in that's been part of the 2 we're already questioning. you know if people have their decree actions to accedes sure even try and get it so you know they're still pasterns there are answered i think it's a good idea for people who actually. i'm sure there's many pitfalls and fully support personal real civil liberties hard our bill of rights fully fully support those rights but i also have to consider that there are public health risks that 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 like 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 i want to keep my freedom and i but i don't think there's a way that has been is it's proven to be safe for people even medical exceptions that are real medical exceptions yeah i would be in favor of it. back across to europe and the e.u. is also exploring ways of encouraging people to take over vaccines and e.u. cousin meeting earlier on thursday saw all member states agree to develop a coordinated approach to vaccine certificated snow that was a key parts of discussions on how the block is going to lift pandemic restrictions over the coming year and restore that's cross border travel meanwhile the world health organization has warned against any efforts to force people to get off the elated we spoke with a w.h.o. representative 38 january and science not to make it mandated treats much they

don't people want to be vaccinated and if you have a mandatory system it's much just a group too. much more difficult actually to ensure that everybody gets the exit interview because people are then become frightened that there's no reason to be fight no something like this which is our lives every tool and ultimately we want to be up to vaccinate at least 20 percent of each population as quickly as possible because we've calculated that the groups that need to be vaccinated 1st the people who are most at risk and the frontline workers will make up about 20 percent of the population in most countries so we are scientific and neutral car organization that just like any organization we do get criticized but we also have knows if they have been some politicize ation of their response and we do ask these the quality of this well certainly we have been concerned and have been warning against vaccine nationalism for a long time and again that's why entire a little while ago scientists were working on developing the vaccines we were

working on setting up the facility the kovacs facility and talking with all the different countries to join that we look at the daily show from the vaccine trials to look at whether they were 1st of all however cases are they how say 5 any do they meet the safety standards that we require and thirdly either being manufactured at the safest and highest quality standards when each vaccine meets that criteria we will provide it with what we call an emergency use listing and that can be used by any country in the world now the german chancellor angela merkel has made an emotional plea for tougher restrictions to be implemented to come but covert 19 after the country reached the grim record of $600.00 deaths in a single day. that's why it was that i don't know my nothing of any student and weeks in the evening and he didn't begin to lessons on appalachian i'm thinks she just didn't mind them a book because i they also know that i miss most i don't live in d.c.

and i'm not going to do that but i target don't you think that it doesn't if it was on then the ads well then it's a feeling. i wish to dismiss those lists of i don't think it was and i'm one of the measures the chancellor is pushing for is starting the school holidays several days early to a lot of people to selflessly but i did the german academy of sciences another of her proposals is showing all non-essential shells from christmas eve december 24th also the miracle government wants as many germans to work from home possible. chancellors lock dawn proposal is true i trade from opposition politicians they see it as part of a long list of policy failures now months after 15 years supermarket germany is a country that does not want to protect its borders against illegal immigration and it's instead imposing curfews and citizens and dispatching legions of police officers to control mask wearing on the training stock 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 when germany has stepped up its covert restrictions on a number of occasions the last time was in november but levels of new cases are still high and frustration among locked on weary germans have frequently boiled over into protests. we spoke with john saly from germany's left party he sees a growing sense of public disappointment over the government's handling of the pandemic . everything had been fine did this government has done over the last year we wouldn't be finding ourselves in such a tough position right now in that situation of deep crisis such as this new government should not be acting alone all the measures rely on one thing and that is probably the 2nd many of the people protesting business on us that have lost

their livelihood. when they got them and closed down their businesses in november promise. now that money has reached the intended beneficiaries yes with regards to schools that is basically not in now and is really got sort of pirates some of whom are very reluctant to send their. home was its own artistic creation has been managed. and the response is far too late for. the us federal trade commission is pushing to break up facebook accusing it of holding a legal monopoly over the social media market it's filed a lawsuit bucked up by $48.00 states out of 50 targeting facebook's acquisitions of the instagram on what's off platforms but as one who saw a boom bust on our 2 you can tell us more. 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 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 of another large tech firm you choose has been criticized for supposedly stifling free speech after the platform took the decision to remove videos alleging voter fraud in the u.s. election let's take a look at what the company had to say in response. 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 well the decision to remove the video is comes after a deadline passed for states to challenge the election and you chub say's enough of those states have no certified their results however the platform has actually been removing thousands of challenged since september and this all comes as they trump him continue to try and have the election result overturned in the supreme court meanwhile many videos containing all improved allegations of many other issues remain all up on you tube without seemingly any problem they include claims of russian coalition in the 2016 u.s. election and conspiracy theories about the 911 terror attacks on you tube drive to remove vote fraud allegations has led to responses such as these. 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 $230.00 and break these companies up. corporate media and liberal politicians claim for years trump selection 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 youtube and at google 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. and let's stay the state side because texas has filed a lawsuit with the supreme court against for a key states won by president elect joe biden in last month's election the case is now being supported by 17 more states the attorney general of texas alleges that wisconsin pennsylvania georgia and michigan illegally change their election laws compromising the result of the 2020 presidential vote certain officials in the defendant states present to the pandemic as the justification for ignoring state laws regarding absentee and mail in voting the defendant states flooded their

citizenry with tens of millions of ballots applications and ballots in derogation of statutory controls as to how they are lawfully received evaluated and counted. you know just to make it clear the lawsuit doesn't allege voter fraud but points i felt there were voting irregularities we asked media and legal analysts long of why the case is important. the reason why this is important is that under article 3 of our constitution the supreme court is the site have the original jurisdiction meaning you go directly to disappear in 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 and the reason that they are basing this lawsuit the reason for this is that it is allege that it is against the constitution for the courts in essence to change the rules of elections they should be done so by legislature 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. today marks a special birthday for our team with our channel celebrating its 15th anniversary. it was back in 2005 that are to burst into broadcasting life and it's fair to say since those humble beginnings and impressions being me.

early it was a room there declarer's go on for another researcher to. remove. the barrel. weapon of left another go to a new spirit or you can go down there. and do that waiting for the day when younger don't see these computers and mobile devices the for the joy if you really are going to learn to conjure if you don't need to both take your money in your own narrow narrow early to bed against alternative vision. you'll start to question. whether your way 6 year old. girl going to feel ready enough for your video.

really undercover going to this day. you will get exposed on to your kids way decontaminate your mind well you know if you're honest and brave everything to . trim down through. for america where you can defend yourself i enjoyed revelers from the weapons of mass communications. thanks for the obscene. it was given to me i think it was your own earlier. during our 15 years on air r.t. covered pretty much every major event happening around the globe ensuring the voices on all sides are just part of the other 1st 3 coverage today here so look back at our focus on the unrest in france 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 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 a nose 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 shine 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 of. perhaps it was the work of some

journalists that 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 with much of what we've been working on here. with the russia today 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 would. and without access to government sources it's a bit difficult to tell the government 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. or there's nothing exists so i cannot tell you that i will be 100 percent sure that they are not to host.

i can see now the scientists have let fly to one of these a ferry case the police are just about a 100 meters down in the distance it appears archie became a convenient explanation for things going wrong in the republic and beyond as if france is what was in africa didn't stem from colonialization in the 1st place. she is seen as being a thorn in the soit of the government we tell stories die good stories from many angles we take to the frontline and sometimes that means that we are cool to the fray we've been struck by both the police and by protest as we have had many do was close to us now but we continue to do what we always set out to do and that

is to question. a lot is our lot for not but you join me again in just over 30 and see what stories are affecting your world today and kick off another 15 years a. bit more in between because. i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report. stacey herbert stacy. out finding very fetching is it mesmerizing

yeah i'm pulling into my vortex of love. so i have a pretty funny interesting crazy headline here on 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 honorable grunt 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 player in the all this ordinary people out there this is the filth of the peasants but them have brioche while they sit in quarantine right i mean that's pretty remarkable right everyone else coming doesn't attack the political

plutocrats. but the ne ne 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 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 who knows what they get up to there in the united kingdom but you know globally we have a situation where as we've been covering for the past year too.
