in the day's headlines the u.s. drug regulator approves pfizer's covert vaccine for emergency use amid reports of the head being threatened by the white house today our nation has achieved a medical miracle it will save millions of lives and soon end the pandemic once and for all. the e.u. the rejects the use of emergency authorization saying that safety it must come 1st it also wants to rock certificates for those who have been inoculated against kobe and pumping fears people will feel pressured into having the vaccine are guesstimates the issue. the issue is the one thing i would say to the european union is if you stop having so much bureaucracy

and let those countries decide for themselves they would tom franks seems by now to block. freedom except true threats except. also this hour street sign of the times the british city of birmingham gives wolk names to 6 new roads and here eating the anti p.c. of the grade. you're watching our 2 international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 3 pm welcome to the program. the u.s. food and drug agency has approved fines or as code vaccine for emergency use autopsy reports that the white house chief of staff threatened the f.d.a. chief to approve the vaccine or resign donald trump has praised the development. today our nation has achieved a medical miracle we have delivered a safe and effective vaccine in just 9 months this is one of the greatest

scientific accomplishments in history it will save millions of lives and soon the pandemic once and for all in the u.k. people with a history of severe allergic reactions were advised against taking a pfizer scope and job it comes just after the country began its mass rollout of the vaccine and in the us the f.d.a. revealed that 6 volunteers died during the trials which involved $44000.00 people the regulator insists this is nothing to worry about paying for had received the placebo while the remaining 2 deaths are well within statistical expectations but more americans have now died of coded than were lost fighting in world war 2 it was 300000 have lost their lives to the virus as killed in reports. we've got 15000000 cases of covert 19 in the united states we've got hospitals overwhelmed 107000 people are in the hospital at this moment doctors say these numbers are

going to keep getting worse on wednesday there were more deaths from covert 19 on one day than there were on september 11th these are pretty big numbers that people are looking on at the situation then and just appalled at how massively coded 1000 has expanded throughout the united states how much the pandemic seems to be completely out of control now joe biden is promising that when he takes office he will tackle this issue for his 1st 100 days in office he's talking about a mask a mandate but i'm absolutely convinced that in 100 days we can change the course of the disease and change life in america for the better i'm going to ask for i'm asking please everyone for the 1st 100 days of my administration to wear masks that will start with my signing an order on day one to require mass where i cannot be the law there is some concern about how a mask mandate would be enforced around the country where there are states and

localities that have mandated masks be worn we've seen kind of rebellion among sheriffs and local police officers who are refusing to enforce it for example in california this local sheriff referred to a master mandate as dictatorial he is expecting us to arrest anyone violating these orders cite them and take their money close their businesses make them stay in their homes and take away their civil liberties or he will punish all of us the riverside county sheriff's department will not be blackmailed bullied or used as muscle against riverside county residents in the enforcement of the governor's orders unemployment numbers in the united states are actually the highest they've been sense mid september we had a situation where this we. 853000 people lost their jobs bringing the total number of unemployment to 10700000 according to the u.s. department of labor now despite this there is

a deadlock in congress they're fighting over the stimulus package others not a clear agreement between the 2 major parties about how relief should be provided and of course we've got the 2 major parties blaming each other how many more businesses have to shut or how many more dreams have to be shattered. how many more people have to be laid off. before to nancy pelosi and the democrats will act need more turned them more time but we have to have a bill and we cannot go home without it things are pretty out of control the rival parties are blaming each other joe biden is promising that he will turn things around however there's a strong amount of opposition to the measures he's already proposing even before he takes office quite a problematic and serious situation here in the united states people are kind of confused about what exactly to do. to protect themselves and also we're big many

americans don't like to be told what to do so the restrictions and they continue to fight the restrictions and by their doctors some of the states are stretched you know beyond capacity following every holiday there's it's a small surge and now it's a pretty big surge after thanksgiving there's still a significant portion of our population that doesn't get what's happening. while the u.s. is ready to resort to emergency authorization to end the pandemic as quickly as possible in europe is urging caution but they had of its medicines agency saying that safety must come 1st as well as rejecting the need for emergency authorization the e.u. is calling for a vaccination certificates for people who've been inoculated and for block wide mutual recognition of coronavirus test results the aim of all this is to encourage eventually vaccine uptake and restore cross border travel. right now the european union is working full speed to review the safety of vaccines and make them

available in these riches you see do we have the opportunity to reach an agreement on how to proceed with covies 19 vaccines and establish a common system for the validity of tests for opponents of vaccination certificates are concerned that they will end up becoming de facto obligatory because people could be required to have one before being permitted to do certain things like trouble my colleague ian o'neill put the issue up for debate. i'm nervous about the idea of having these travel certificates all these certificates that say you've had the coronavirus vaccine because what that means is that actually will then end up being a coronavirus passport so i think the thing is to encourage rather to rather than to make sure people are automatically told they have to have it it should not be compulsory go green with a yacht a gentleman there no problem but for air travel. each should be made compulsory by the airlines to make sure that the people on the plane are sent to blah blah about

3 don't accept or that's exactly what the problems we got with this. group who are going to be taking its toll and. i think there will be more people who are going to pick who profession troubling outlooks you reach certain they're very concerned with how to reach this client she has come out with who already. are right now this is nothing against covering vaccines are open but this it's really rooting out a very difficult but put circle do your duty as a. car is your concern the one thing i would say to the european union is if you stop having so much bureaucracy and let those countries decide for themselves they would have vaccines by now i think that's an incredibly dangerous thing to say this is been in the making for 20 years we've had a rolling review as this is going on this vaccine is safe the m h r 8 would not license this vaccine if they did not believe it was safe and the

problem is when you start to spread those sorts of rumors that's why people won't be vaccinated and the more you tell them you have to have a vaccine and people believe that there is some sort of miletus thing going on then people will not take up that vaccination and therefore we undo all the good work that's been done to date certain conspiracy theories and go or bordering on factual know looking as if they're going to be happening and this is just going to fuel those more extreme conspiracy theories that one of the bill gates trying to use vaccines to plant microchips in people this is simply going to reinforce their fears isn't it yes i somehow i believe absolutely. i'm sorry. you shouldn't believe these people of our soup who claims crazy ideas all the time in the coming months and years we will know about the long term solidity of the bank scene and all of the certification and maybe we'll need to do it again and maybe there will be a 2nd version in all and that will improve the years but we need to save the economy

now. in germany the daily infection rate has been steadily climbing since october that's led to a debate about whether to pull the plug on traditional christmas events in a bid to keep people safe artist peter our reports from berlin. usually where i'm talking to you from would be the scene over one of the busiest christmas markets it's not to be this year there's no room at the inn for the christmas market due to the global pandemic but one thing that's a memory of christmas past is the smells of mold wine that still on sale of the restrictions on selling alcohol will harm my business we will leave the lots of income as things stand we can stay here until the 20th december that maybe we'll be allowed to work and up again off the lockdown is over but the sale of a cup of festive cheer is causing a divide in the country though while bars and restaurants of being forced to close

on the germany's locked down lights mulled wine in the stalls be called a place to congregate prompting some politicians to warn that they may be leading to the spread of covert 19 across the country the old wine stands subvert our contact restrictions i don't understand why the city of cologne allows this in the end this will lead to new infections and that's it will be time for that later when we are vaccinated the owners of the stalls disagree though. i think we should do everything we can to stop the spread of this virus we wear masks and observe the timi to distance rule and disinfect our hands even germany's most famous christmas market in nuremberg is closed they've had to make changes to traditions going back to the 16th century with this year's chris kindle christ child opening the advent season for the local t.v. studio. this year everything is different the coronavirus crisis is preventing us

from doing many things in the run up to christmas such as advent celebrations and gathering at the christmas market and. lock down restrictions that were brought in back in november haven't had the desired effect and getting the number of cases of covert 90 down that means that the federal. government here in berlin and the leaders of germany 16 states are going to have to thrash out a new set of restrictions even if that means putting christmas spirit on hold it's fought rigged this nation it as hard as it is and i know how much care has gone into setting up the moved one and walk instead it's not compatible we want to be a greet only take food away and it is home and really saw it from the bottom of my heart but if the price we pay is $590.00 deaths a day that is not acceptable but. obviously the public don't want to cancel christmas but i spoke to people here and asked them what they thought about

these mulled wine store being no it's not very christmassy like to try to find a balance between not being scarce and. trying to have a good time maybe i think it's not good that it's still open at the same time it's a little bit sad because it's christmas and every value won't be together and enjoy this time. it is a bit sad that there's not so much to do at this time but i think we need to be cautious and i suppose those few places with mulled wine should remain open it's clear for a bundle of merkel's address to the bundestag that the chancellor wants to see things go further sacrificing christmas spirit in the name of safety feature all over all to. 6 people were injured after being struck by a car at a black lives matter protests in new york on friday please confirm that the injuries appear to be non life threatening rally was held in solidarity with people

doesn't reflect what birmingham is well birmingham's becoming birmingham's a mortar and thrusting city but we could talk about the achievements of birmingham birmingham people this look and loads of people are not necessarily people but organization bands groups great achievements they couldn't name this after but no they want to slugger the demo and the politically correct it's an absolute joke and i'm sure the brummie jordan are you working class birmingham people will be laughing at this as much as everybody else. nearly 300 dead seals have been found washed up along the shores of the caspian sea and warning you may find some of the following images upside ng scientists are looking into what could have caused the mass deaths one theory is that the seals were killed by a virus but researchers say they need more data before they can be sure our lives here caspian seals were put on russia's list of endangered species. most of them it

is almost impossible to determine the cause of death of the seals at 1st glance the only fact is that remain there toxicology viral logy and bacterial infections this will require special research and considerable special resources. still had joe biden the latest cabinet pack does nothing to dispel fears the interests of corporate giants are being put 1st or that team of ahmed is making a comeback he tells after the short break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see if. the world is driven by

american shows is going smoothly followed up as much he course of the system is a 50 foot in the chairman's from actually make it much more harder for you because you can be detected you see if you don't speechless unless there is there is no you can suit themselves and so the truck is an opportunistic and there is a feeling that desperation that these people are going so. the main way migrants reach the u.k. is by boat it's estimated that a record number landed in britain this year over 8000 but arrivals are said to decrease as the u.k. and france signed an agreement in november this will see more patrols and surveillance the u.k. home office also says it's invested millions in border security greg west again says tougher borders is one piece one reason people voted for it. it's fairly evident that. more inclined to want to be. in the u.k. than the rest of you it's a genuine political asylum seekers they would probably claim asylum once i come in

to anyone in the that they don't tend to back up and overload the immigration system services within the e.u. cut his eyes and struggle to keep up i mean it there were many ways the part of the reason we felt it to remove ourselves from europe was because we wanted the country wanted to try to control every crisis is one of the many factors. palestinian shop owners and all jerusalem allege that the arabs really authorities are using the pandemic as an excuse to drive their businesses under that's hundreds of stores have been closed for violating health ministry rules all flair picks up the story. the pandemic has left businesses around the world reeling but here in the bubble huta neighborhood in the old city of jerusalem that's only hof the story over $400.00 stores and counting has been forced to close here leaving families

who've worked in the shops for generations desperate normally at this time of year the streets stop bustling with tourists and traders we're not far from the al aqsa mosque compound but as you can see many of the shops are closed and atmosphere is one of gloom there are nato meeting here somebody who once made 100 shekels now makes 15 or less that's life now it's very difficult is not like before now there's no way to earn money the jobs here are reliant on tourism and there are no tourists it's been like this for a year the coronavirus is of course the main reason but shop owners yes it is also under pressure from his radio farid he's to move why well they believe that once they're forced out the area will be filled with jewish israelis business or any google business is not function here look at this coffee house it's closed and those that are open there are no customers for not making ends meet and who is to

blame the government of course there's the crown of ours but they make too much drama out of that there's only so much you can blame on the far us people want to work and they are working but they're not making any money the police say that some motions are flouting the rules by refusing to a face mosques the people here say that some people not true instead they say that the police are either preventing them from reaching their businesses under the pretext that they are breaking the coronavirus and quarantine rules or that coming up with other excuses to force them to close the shops. are all over you is because we're arabs look at tel aviv no one gets fined there before us because we're arabs we get fined 2000 shekels and reporters fall for everything. i mean she a lot tell you the truth it's racism that if you go to the jewish parts of jerusalem many people there don't even wear mosques the stores are open people go to work go about their daily lives there for us it's different my wife has to pay

500 shekels because she hadn't put a mosque in correctly the old city of jerusalem is eerily quiet coronavirus has devastated business in the streets now is hardly the time to be playing politics or perhaps as residents here tell me it's the ideal time policia r.t. jerusalem. locals in the far northwest of russia were treated to a dazzling nighttime display and shades of green this was the side over more months of the city is no stranger to the northern lights but this display was larger and brighter than usual thanks to a powerful magnetic storm in the atmosphere. that's our round up of the day's top news for now as always thanks for tuning in.

human history has always seen continuous war over thought but in recent years it seems to have become more intense the platforming is no common practice and public scrutiny of a permanent feature where do we all stand on the battlefield of belief. imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century what are the chapters called gun violence school shootings owners nurse 1st it was my job it was my field dealing with my savings i have nothing i have nothing to lose now i don't authorize aloof or resources i look for jobs i look for everything i can to make this house. in la in the doing is. the road to the american dream paved with dead refugees it's this very idealized image of our

needs americans look past the deaths that happen every single day this is a modern history of the usa america on r.t. . i am max keiser this is the kaiser report we are discussing a new school of economics alium economics this israeli brought about by negative interest rates means contact with the think a lack of federation let's let's check in with stacey and get more on this yes well 1st of all i must point out the kaiser report had the world excuse exclusive on this galactic federation and what did we do we use it as an opportunity for comedy instead of from od'ing as like it world exclusive it's come to my attention that

a u.f.o. was recently spotted flying past the kaiser report window. and cut to nearly 8 years later max and here's the head by former israeli space security chief has revealed that elian is from a galactic federation have been in contact with the u.s. and israel for years but humanity isn't ready to know this or so he claims and that's important or so he claims because memory 2020 is the year that we're told over and over that the experts must be in charge the experts are the only ones who have the truth for us the experts are the ones who get the blue tick on twitter and they're the ones that are arbiters of truth so here's an expert who is the head of the israeli space program for over 20 years and he's telling us that there's some contract between these aliens who by the name of the galactic federation and the united states rather spend contact and i think that's pretty clear delia and

intelligence is surrounding us you know i've said before we're bathing in this alien intelligence and they are reluctant to reveal themselves because it would be overwhelming to the senses overwhelming to our to our minds but negative interest rates that we've seen developing over the past few years and the current state of negative interest rates never in the history have there been more bonds trading now in this negative interest rate territory than ever before in history so interest rates are at a 300 something year low in britain threat a 240 year low in america never of interest rates been this low ever in american history british history world history and what that shows us that the global consciousness made up the sum of all humans thinking in parallel has hit the new nadir a new low is one way to look at it but that vacuum of intelligence that's now prevalent all over the world has sucked in the allianz who are now mic.
