give many people no choice. that's been a problem with the city can always turn a mixer and. requires. the most vulnerable abandoned on the streets to become the invisible clerks. in the headlines this morning then the u.s. food and drug administration probes 5 allergic reactions now to the fire as a vaccine during clinical trials admitting it doesn't know the cold war. as a top u.s. consultant or vaccine manufacturers tells r t that while he's optimistic about covert jobs any time is going to tell if it's a magic bullet against a pandemic. i'm not so mystic about. vaccines reducing the infection. completely

obliterate the infection remains to be seen. british m.p.'s a shocked after parliament leader jacob rhys morgues come out against unicef feeding poor u.k. children for the 1st time in history adding he should be sharing the relief program . good morning. my name is kevin owen here about international's world news h.q. thanks for your time shooting in that we take you through our headlines are in full and 1st the u.s. food and drug administration is investigating 5 cases of allergic reactions not of the. vaccine during clinical trials i think it's still unclear about what went wrong or what the reasons were. i think we'll be looking at all of the data we can from each of these reactions to sort out exactly what happened and we'll also
12:02 am
be looking to try to understand which component of the vaccine might be helping to produce or only comes just hours after a 2nd vaccine than by mud was approved by the f.d.a. main time vice president my parents got the pfizer shot live on t.v. along with his wife penn cited that american vaccines are safe. you'll be getting kiran and i were more than happy to step forward before this week was about. to take this safe and effective coronavirus vaccine that we have secured and produced for the american people well let's now go through confirmed cases of allergic reactions briefly should we have to go to the fire as a job to alaska health workers had to be treated in hospital one is still recovering this is among 5 cases f.d.a. is investigating that britons also registered 2 cases with adverse reactions the country's health officials have warned against vaccinating those with
12:03 am
a history of allergies there's also controversy that americans can't sue pfizer or modernity may be interested to hear under the expanded so called preppers so vaccine makers have legal protection for 4 years in the u.s. compensation program 1st $500.00 filings and $29.00 payouts trial lawyer raji dunn gave us his reaction to the program. if they are sick and they miss a couple of days of work and they don't feel good for 3 or 4 weeks they're going to get 0 compensation under the american legal system typically an individual injured by a product or service can sue and you can have a class action where literally tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people can sue the government when they implemented this war speed to have a vaccine developed much faster than normal the companies weren't willing to do
12:04 am
that for fear that they might get sued so the government said we will protect you companies so you can't be sued. meantime coming up to covert job confusion in brazil it's late in the program as brazil's supreme court approved mandatory vaccination we also locals there about the law and thoughts on it good or bad one of the things later in the program. will take months to know whether covert vaccines are efficient and can stop the pandemic according to a top physician and consultant to vaccine manufacturers. many people have fear of vaccines and this is true throughout the world and yet when one really looks at the record vaccines in general have been quite safe now the thing that one has to understand is your risk
12:05 am
if the risk of the disease as it is for covert 19 let's say is 20 percent so that's 2 in every 10 people right. and the risk of the reactions to vaccines that i'm familiar with is about one in a 1000000 so if you compare the risks if you're intelligent you would take the vaccine. what we don't know for any of the vaccines thus far is whether they will consistently prevent infection which is important because if they do that will prevent the virus from spreading if they don't then we have a situation where vaccination vaccinated people will be protected but unvaccinated people will not be protected so we have
12:06 am
a lot to learn about the vaccines. both the comolli vaccine and the astra zeneca vaccine are based on a virus called add no virus in the astra zeneca people probably feel that that they could. improve the response by using not one. had no virus but 2 and that was the good idea of the gama lay a vaccine to use one that had no wires since a prime and another ad no irises opposed and that seems to work better. they will be collected certainly through in the next year now if you're talking about safety city examination of safety is really.
12:07 am
can be done in a month or 2 after vaccination or as if you're talking about efficacy then you in the long observations the term and how effective a vaccine is and over what period of time that's another issue that we don't have any information on i will not have any information for many months i am not pessimistic about the attack scenes at least reducing the infection whether they will completely obliterate the infection remains to be seen. next scrooge that's pretty champagnes blasted parliament lead to jacob re small for opposing unicef feeding poll families in the u.k. for the 1st time reese malk of the winning conservative party claims the relief efforts of publicists and stunt. real scoundrel that unicef should be playing
12:08 am
politics in this way when it is meant to be looking after people in the poorest the most deprived countries in the world where people are starving where there are famines and where there are civil wars and they make cheap political points of this kind giving i think 25000 pounds to one council it is a political stunt. unicef recently launched a wide ranging program aimed at tackling food insecurity it's going to be granting over $700000.00 pounds to community groups all over the u.k. the organization is also helping feed children in the south of london giving out food parcels and assuring that breakfasts are distributed to schools there the campaigns put a spotlight on the food poverty in the u.k. considered to be one of the wealthiest countries in the world of course now according to unicef an estimated 2400000 children live in so-called food insecure homes preschool meal programs have seen huge numbers of families signed up unicef defended his decision all that said to provide humanitarian help to children in the
12:09 am
u.k. unicef ukase responding to the some press tented crisis and building on our 25 years experience are working on children's rights in the u.k. with a one off domestic response launched in august to provide support to vulnerable children and families around the country during this crisis period earlier we spoke with the founder of the largest independent food bank in the u.k. you says the government's handling of the poverty crisis has been unacceptable. i think the reality is the government's own figures show that in britain 4.5 children get 1000000 children get free school meals and before the pandemic the government's own figures confirmed 12000000 people in britain were in poverty i think what unicef and don has of course given some money to people in britain and britain is one of the great generous countries in the world for giving money so it's only just right that when our people are in crisis that unicef gives us some cash by the
12:10 am
scandal is we have a government that keeps pussy footing around the real crisis or brush it i'm not spit 15000 people 15000000 people in the 1st 6 richest economy on the planet going hungry and that's not acceptable we should be leading a global campaign to end poverty not pussyfooting around it we now feeding so many people we can hardly cope it's not something that we can just depend anymore on our government our government around the world are all tied up with the pandemic trying to get people safe and stop people dying letting people go hungry is not a priority and so we as people and we as communities need to take back power and politicize it in a way but we can eradicate the problems. us president elect joe biden has promised to unite the country as its leader but his words don't appear to match the actions of his party is by this campaign manager
12:11 am
and the incoming deputy chief of staff early insults of the republicans l m open reports. putting the star in stars and stripes joe biden the great healer of america is on a winning streak and he will not stop until these states are united by a pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify. who doesn't see the red states and blue states only sees the united states but there might be a small problem not everyone in the democratic camp is so keen on the healing process i'm not saying they're not a bunch of. clueless terrible not exactly a white flag coming from the new administration and she's not alone many democrats are not very keen on smoothing things over with trump supporters people who stood by donald trump for the last 4 years and now claiming to be offended at the time democratic campaign manager used to curse word i don't think so so if the side of washington that's winning is already talking trash what about the other ones still
12:12 am
sore from losing a 2nd term but i didn't talks about unity and healing but you want to know what they really think reid how the person he wants is the next white house deputy chief of staff called republicans in congress a bunch of. but in campaign manager called us he can try to walk back but this is volumes about him boss who calls for unity while shouting the assaults on democracy i think we're a deplorable irredeemable sick getting over these ill feelings post-election will be no easy feat the hatred has been there for a long time and some of them are as she said deplorable to just be grossly generalistic. you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorable zx their race is sex is homophobe big xenophobe. as long. day mitt and unfortunately there are. people like that.
12:13 am
and he has lifted them up this has been tried before the whole unity montra at least while the cameras are rolling well i will be a president for democrats republicans independents for the struggling the striving the successful for all those who vote for me and for those who doubt for our god where i can choose to have her to go that's what the country needs. a sense of unity a sense of inclusion. a respect for our institutions. our way of life. rule of law. and respect for each other so we've got a new administration full of familiar faces we've got a brand new president who used to be the vice and at this point we've got a new post to trump america with many things remaining the same and they probably
12:14 am
won't be fixed what's been going on for the last 8 years right well america has been in a domestic abuse situation you have one side of the political already that has spent more years gaslighting lying abusing manipulating. the mylan saluting berty impeaching and coming up with every big news story that ending everything they can to turn the population against this president doing everything they can to divide this country and now if it be somehow managed to it appears install joe biden as president because for unity or not only a whole leery of this but also extremely cynical i can assure you there's going to be no unity in this country in fact i have heard many people on the right saying that they're quite excited for the next 4 years to do everything the luxman doing to them over the last couple years but 3 full now that's an issue because those republicans who would be willing to work with the other side are going to win many friends in the electorate and they're not going to be very popular. but more on
12:15 am
this was mentioned earlier on brazil's supreme court's approved mandatory vaccination against the president's wishes and will impose fines and citizens from public places but to add to the confusion authorities are assisting it's not compulsory. every brazilian will have the obligation to be vaccinated which just not mean they can be forced to take the vaccine compulsory does not mean that compulsory means that any noncompliance will lead to a penalty for the beginning of the law was still good if you don't want to be treated you have the right not to be treated if i decide for example not to do chemotherapy and to die it's my problem and we in the federal government have already made clear that the vaccine will be offered to everyone but those who do not want to take it don't have to well the country is suffering a spike in covert cases brazil is the 2nd worst hit country in the world behind the
12:16 am
u.s. reporting more than 800 deaths on friday alone last brazilians what they thought about the mandatory vaccination. i grew the nation been mandatory because brazilians are not aware of how dangerous the virus is how did you go into live with others without being vaccinated. i don't agree with making it mandatory because everyone has to make their own decision about taking the vaccine or not. i agree with the penalties because for the good of all humanity to be able to go out and be a tease on the street i agree with the vaccine being mandatory for the good of the whole world i believe there has to be a middle way that everyone understands the importance of the vaccine and how it can help us but with the nazi being mandatory i believe taking the vaccine shouldn't be mandatory although i also understand that in case the person doesn't take the vaccine it could be difficult for them because it could put other people's lives at risk. hunted haunted rather by one to gay joe biden's against or for his
12:17 am
son hunter after federal prosecutors to criminal probe into hunter's tax affairs in a televised interview together with his wife the u.s. president elect brown did all charges play. we have great confidence in our son. i am not concerned about any accusations being made against him i think it's kind of fall play but those accusations are just part of why their claims including corruption allegations of a hunter's ukraine dealings and leaked emails from his laptop. explains why this will remain a headache for the president elect and. we none of us are clean let's be honest we've all done things we're ashamed of have secrets that we wouldn't want anyone to know sometimes they come to light especially if you're a politician nixon and watergate clinton lewinsky would joe budden and his boy
12:18 am
his son hunter biden is now under a federal criminal investigation like a vine is selling influence over c. hunter biden made millions of dollars in ukraine highlighting the corruption of joe and hunter biden quite the character. his scandal ridden chairmanship of a ukrainian energy company a tax investigation under way suspicion of money laundering sex scandals and even a poncho and for hard drugs crack cocaine you may know all of this or you may be hearing it for the 1st star depending on what you watch and who you read because prude democrat networks didn't think all of this is a newsworthy issue and neither does daddy president elect biden is deeply proud of his son who has fought through difficult challenges and grit the vicious personal attacks of recent months only to emerge stronger personal attacks he says the justice department investigating biden's taxes might disagree or how's this for
12:19 am
a personal attack biden jr allegedly using daddy's name to secure 10000000 dollars from the chinese i hope my letter finds you well i regret missing you on your last visit to the united states please accept the best wishes from the entire biden family as well as my partners the biden family is now reportedly under 3 federal investigations with the f.b.i. involved and dollars to 4 years of russia gate shenanigans i would say republicans probably want a little bit a back a little hunter gate if you will. on top 3 federal investigations that go into take a lot of confidence let's just hope that daddy can handle the pressure because if he thought that he would escape the gauntlet that they put trump through well he was wrong the importance of the thing isn't that hunter has bad information about
12:20 am
him it's that the mainstream media prevented the public from knowing about it until after the election and what's done is done the mainstream media isn't judging stories by their newsworthiness they're judging them by whether they will help or hurt democrat nominees and candidates and particularly in the presidential election the mainstream media has been trying for 4 years to make donald trump go away and i think this time according to the results of the election they finally succeeded they couldn't do it with the russia hoax they couldn't do it with impeachment but finally they got donald trump kicked out of office so they believe by getting joe biden elected in the way to elect joe biden was to protect him by not letting the public know things about him and his family that could be damaging to his election chances it's really not complicated. as minister for women inequalities is plain accuser discrimination and shunning her responsibilities those allegations her

father at least trusts off to her announcement of a policy over a whole set to focus more on social and carrot to make the whole society more equal we need to be equality didn't bites to be led by thoughts not by fashion a new approach with a party central principles of fairness and dignity it includes listening to more represented voices in society who may be impaired or discriminated against the british prime minister also stressed more attention is needed on geographic inequality but trust in speeches caused outrage in westminster or beyond. liz truss's attempt to separate class from race is divisive garbage we need to create a fairer society for everyone but this means recognizing that the barriers faced by black asian and other minority ethnic people are facts not fashion black lives matter the opposition britain the opposition in britain also slammed liz transfer her role as international trade secretary in which the labor party and activists
