washington is expected to approve the new fires a covert vaccine that's this warning people. on america's drug 6 people died during its trials. let's look at london in the book because they are . giving us and i'm going to mark all calls for fictions as germany sees a record high number of days. but the chance of his appeal want everyone over. after 15 years to germany is a country that does not want to protect its borders against illegal immigration and instead imposing a curfew senate seat isn't. safe 15 years.

we're taking a look back through the archive from a decade of questioning more. live from moscow thanks for joining us on our to international just. welcome to the program. our u.s. government advisory panel has given a green light to the fires of vaccine regulators have been meeting to discuss the emergency use of the covert job and i've concluded the benefits outweigh the risks the u.k. warning people with severe allergies against taking the drug in america itself the food and drug administration has revealed 6 people died during its trials more guys the earth has more details. this was very very bad for publicity at a time when people are already nervous with all the rushed that scenes 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 pulls the in the vaccine group compared with new cases in the placebo group the 4 cases in the vaccine group did 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 at the press sold it as well would 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 h. 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 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 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 of early in my college you know neal spoke with cancer specialist bob giovan who believes government still need to do more assessment of the new vaccine. i was also a bit surprised by this and never tell you it's not the only of yeah you know i live in europe we listen to the enemy but remember 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 they able to also russian officials will look at these data and i think now it's up to you can be officials again h.s. 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 and if elected react as is at that candid it doesn't mean he 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 in the meantime i know mike is in new york have introduced a bill to make over divac citation mandatory that sparked up rule the bill would require people to be vaccinated if it's themed safe for them to have a job but the association of american physicians and surgeons says doing say what about to a violation of human rights we got that reaction on the streets of new york. 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 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 there's no question it's not our answer and i think it's a good idea for people who actually. i'm sure there's many pitfalls that we support

personally really civil liberties part of our our bill of rights fully fully support those rights but i also have to consider it be republicans risk 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 why cause more problems than a texas just because it might get people. to work 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 keep my freedom and i but i don't think there's a way that has been is it's proving to be safe for people even medical exceptions that are real medical exceptions yeah i would be in favor of it. has also been exploring ways to encourage people to get the jobs member states of agreed to develop a coordinated approach to vaccine certificates and this was a key part of discussions on how the block is going to lift pandemic restrictions

over the coming year meanwhile the world health organizations warned against any efforts to force people to get inoculated and i spoke to a w.h.o. representative. jillian trying not to make it mandated treats much better people want to be vaccinated if you have a mandate or a system it's much just because so much more difficult to ensure that everybody gets the execution because people become frightened that there's no reason to be fight no something like this which is a little. and ultimately we want to be able to vaccinate at least 20 percent of each population as quickly as possible because we've calculated that the groups need to be vaccinated 1st the people who are most at risk and the front line 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 has noticed 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 sitting up on 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 work 1st of all how educations are they how safe either any do they meet the safety standards that we require and thirdly i don't think 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 going to our cause made an emotional plea for tougher restrictions to come up the growing of our starts off to germany recorded its highest debut top death toll so far with more than 600 fatalities.

we're they don't know my nothing not finished dealing don't. fear anything else i'm noise didn't begin to lessons i don't feel asian i'm things to fuss with mother them a book to go by they only know that i miss most i move in mission i'm not going to do that i target it wouldn't i do doesn't if it was i'm in the year 12 enough to feel it when i should is this those lips of i don't think you said. well one of the measures the chancellor is pushing for is starting the school holidays several days early another is to shut all lot of sensual shops from christmas eve of the government also wants as many people as possible to work from home. well the charts i was locked out proposals drew outrage from opposition parties 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 just 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 germany has ramped up its covert restrictions on a number of occasions the last time was in november but new infections remain high . germans have frequently boiled over. from germany's left party whatever the public's growing increasingly frustrated at the government's handling of the pandemic. everything has been find that 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 a lot of the measures rely on one thing and that is probably the 2nd many of the people protesting business on us then have lost their livelihood and when the

government closed down their businesses in november they promise. now that money has reached the intended beneficiaries yet with regards to schools there is basically nothing down and was really got screwed and pirates some of whom are very reluctant to send their. whole lot so it's only right a situation has been mismanaged dramatically and the response is far too late france has announced that will lift its current lockdown next week as planned the news was confirmed by the prime minister though he revealed some additional restrictions will be in place over christmas including 8 pm curfew with more on the covered by the plans for the winter holidays is shot at the. france's plans to ease restrictions have been dealt a bit of a blow on thursday evening there had been this plan that we would move into stage 2

from december 15th and that would mean that we would see certain things such as theatres museums and cinemas reopening the prime minister saying on thursday evening that the conditions hadn't been met for that the 5000 new infections a day which was the conditions as sect by president previously still know when need to being met there are still around $10000.00 new infections being registered every day could few that we knew was going to come into force on december 15th will still come into play but instead of being at 9 pm in the evening it's going to start an hour earlier at 8 pm now the interior minister talked about this being regulated quite thoroughly here saying that since the end of october there have been around 3000000 checks on people who have been outside of their homes and it was noted that the curfew will remain in place for december 31st so there will be no reveling out on the streets for the new year some good news though december 24th christmas eve

here in france people will be able to break the curfew to travel to family and to spend time with them and we know that after december 15th there will not be any restrictions on traveling within mainland france you'll be able to go from one region to another you won't also need an active form a permission slip to say that you're outside of your home and less it is during those hours of the curfew france's prime minister saying on thursday that improvements had been made but the stalled in recent weeks and that the game was not yet one this is unlikely to be news that will be met with ruptures of applause here in france many people have been hoping that coming up to the holidays there would be this further easing of restrictions but it seems. that phase 2 will not be a lot harsher in france than previously expected. with concerns free speech advocates lash out at you tube offer begins removing any content alleging

voter fraud in the recent us election for this story and more after the break. join me every 1st week on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being

led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maid in the shallows. welcome back to the program you tube's been accused of stifling free speech after the platform began removing contents alleging voter fraud in the recent us election the company though has defended its actions. 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 while the decision to remove the video comes after a deadline passed for states to challenge the election and you sube says enough of those states haven't are certified their results comes as the trump team continues trying to get the election result overturned in the supreme court in while many videos containing unproved allegations of other issues remain up on you tube without seemingly any problem well these include claims of russian collusion of the $26.00 theme u.s. election and also conspiracy because if there is about the $911.00 terror attacks you see will drive to remove voter fraud allegations though it has caused quite a stir 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 ideals free speech the burnings are coming google own 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 alexion 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've 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. so let's return to our top story and that is the u.s. government advisory panel giving the green light to the code vaccine that after a vote was held on whether the benefits of a job outweighed the risks of them or on the story when i was on live by on his tail a bull pen thanks for joining us a big decision here from the advisory board what more do we know. well at this point it appears that the panel from the u.s. food and drug administration has approved pfizer's vaccine for coded 19 the u.s. government advisory panel it appears the vote was 17 to 4 with one abstention and

so pfizer's vaccine is being given a green light it's been approved for people 16 years of age or older now the f.d.a. is expected to follow this panel's guideline it all comes despite recent revelations about the vaccines safety it was revealed that 2 british nurses had a very severe reaction to the vaccine and that british officials were concerned about individuals with it with serious allergic reactions getting the vaccine now it has also been revealed that the food the american food and drug administration has come forward and confirmed that there are actually 6 people who died during their testing and trial periods where the vaccine now pfizer representatives did tell the panel that despite that they were aware of these british reports but they have no such seen no signs of allergic reactions for this trial vaccine so it appears now with this vote of 17 to 4 the vaccine from pfizer has been approved it

looks like we are moving toward having a vaccine for covert 19 that will be distributed to the f.d.a. is expected to follow the recommendations of this panel. did big news in the fight against covert caleb thanks for that update killable panetta from new york. is. 15 years since the shuttle 1st came on a. but it was back in 2005 that into broadcasting life since those humble beginnings it's made something of an impression. it remains though their peril is gone for another researcher to. reunify

but also of those bearing the brunt from the front lines of their fight. we've seen violent clashes here in the center of athens greece has seen a marked increase in support for far right neo nazi groups while greece was being punished for its bailouts with austerity we looked at the way switzerland was aiming to change the way wealth inequality was handled. by the truckload the proposed basic income initiative arrived with a splash and the promise of 2000 euro a month for every swiss citizen intended to let them live without basic financial wherry while people were making dangerous journeys to come here from war torn parts of the world here at r.t. we met those people coming to europe and looked at why their home countries at

being made so unsafe. while this beach is one that's used as a regular arrival ground for refugees coming from syria afghanistan and elsewhere so there were 60 people. in a movie i think. i would know or 60 we were also among the 1st to see the political and social consequences of mass migration and the rise of those who did not commit. this need to gain a group to write it by their critics is far right extremists and some even called then neo nazis they however say that their and. against radical islam and defending europe against what they see as the islamification of the continent some things have stayed the sea and over the years.

we've also been at the forefront of new innovations changing lives and on occasion asking just because we could does not always mean that we should. do this germany is selling one because for 85 euro that's correct. and if this continues pretty soon might not be only for nerds they could be the cash in all our pockets we weren't the only ones watching of course. it's a question germans have been wanting answers to since the summer of 2013 how much are they being spied on but it has been for a long way. these days more and more people are concerned where their food has come from but for some just because you like pork chops doesn't mean you want to come face to face to pick. this bike here contains around 3 grams

good and only welcome to the alex savage the vaccine cavalry is coming over to help and not a moment too soon this week vaccinations against corporate started across united kingdom where the 4 administrations are all struggling with containing the virus

while sustaining the according in england open puts kora votes has broken out in the ranks of the governing conservative party and public dissent was reflected in ugly scenes in the streets of london the weekend before last. the national loped and england has come to an end i've been a place by an atheist system which keeps a vast majority of the country and an effective loctite but while in england scotland and northern ireland new court cases seem to have stabilized in wales they continue to increase even with the 4 governments have preached to a joint approach to the 5 days of christmas relaxation that is substantial control prosy with many scientists warning that the human cost of christmas celebrations later this month could be high in john gotti unfair pretty to take we ask 2 top experts how things are shaping up for the festive period and whether to sensible or school hearty to permit such celebrations and we ask whether to sniping ceiling for an effective vaccine program or whether there are still potential pitfalls to come

but 1st to alex with your reaction to our recent tribute to the late john hume and our show on scotland's national day same time just see. i am says so george reid got me involved in politics in 1709 to my mind he was the greatest m.p. this country that scotland has ever seen at 82 he still talks more sense than many of the muppets involved in the scottish and westminster governments today. and sit and says you don't listen lightning to independence for scotland i was particularly interested to hear that professor suddenly i'm a calm a great figure of the national movement scotland professor of constitutional law at the university european m.p. that will mccormack drawn up a constitution on the basis of here's what i made earlier isn't it time to put out for any releasing a pillar fernandez says sometimes leveling a lot.
