each of these reactions to sort out exactly what happened and we'll also be looking to try to understand which component of the fact he might be helping to produce. that news came just hours after a 2nd vaccine developed by monday or not was approved by u.s. regulators meanwhile vice president mike pence received the pfizer biotech shot live on t.v. along with his wife and he gave the job his vote of confidence. karen and i read more than happy to step forward before this week was about. to take the safe and effective coronavirus vaccine that we have secured produced for the american people they have now been several confirmed cases of allergic reactions to the pfizer biotech vaccine and 3rd health worker in alaska was hospitalized after getting the job to others also had an adverse response with one taken to intensive care you know all the u.k. research to adverse reactions to the shot the country's health officials have
9:03 am

9:04 am
that for fear that they might get sued so the government said we will protect you company so you can't be sued a top us physician and consultant to back scene manufacturers spoke to our channel about the state of coke and jobs selling plotkin told us whether the shots can stop the pandemic. many people 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 what is risk if the risk of the disease as it is for covert 19 let's say is 20 percent that's 2 in every 10 people right. and the risk of
9:05 am
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 or any of that it seems us for 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 by the unvaccinated people will not be protected so we have a lot to learn about the vaccines. both the comolli vaccine and the astra zeneca vaccine are based on a virus called ad no wires the astra zeneca people probably feel that that
9:06 am
they could. improve the response by using not one. no virus but 2 and that was the good idea of the gama lay a vaccine to use one that had no wires as a prime and another ad no irises opposed and that seems to work better. they will be collected certainly through in the next year if you're talking about safety city examination of safety is really. 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
9:07 am
a lovely or issue that we don't have any information on i will not have any information for many months i am not pessimistic about. attack scenes at least reducing the infection whether they will completely obliterate the infection remains to be seen. u.s. secretary of state mike palm pale has accused russia of carrying out a major cyber attack on government departments a spike the lack of any official conclusions from u.s. security agencies. this was a very significant effort and i think you'd have a case but now we can say pretty clearly that it was the russians that engaged in this activity the breach was reported last week and is believed to have targeted several government bodies including the departments of state and homeland security the treasury and the nuclear security administration
9:08 am
a number of private companies are also believed to have been breached hackers are said to have hijacked software used by the u.s. government to gain access officials say it was done by a patient and well resourced adversary and the national cyber security agency has called the attack a grave risk to u.s. infrastructure but it has not named any suspects so far russia has denied any involvement in this use that it has to do not that you didn't register any official messages from the united states about hacker attacks and accusations about such attacks we've become accustomed to the fact that the united states as well as other western countries simply announce in the media about new existence addressed that russian. political analyst gilbert dr al believes there are several countries around the world that could have carried out such an attack on the u.s. . what i have in mind is that watching the war all we could which made no sense whatsoever from russia's interests but it was very good or political
9:09 am
talking points more than once fools. when we look at the business it's still going to be hacking what's been described for us to be and when we look at the sensitivity. of the national security interests of senators that are possibly come the most of it will be overstated that this particular incident is are different or that anybody at all or which like only a state rather than lower level of why that individuals or or or subcontractors could muster if there are in the world or are several states in the world war of doing was. a senior member of the governing conservative party has drawn the shock and ridicule for his latest comments on child poverty take up a recent whose net worth is estimated at more than 100000000 pounds lashed out at unicef saying it should not be helping impoverished children in the u.k. the real scandal that unicef should be playing politics in this way when it is
9:10 am
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 whether civil wars and they make cheap political points of this kind giving i think 25000 pounds to one council it is a political stunt in parliament i just challenge jay caprice malk about unicef having to feed working class kids in the u.k. it's shameful for kids to go hungry it's not shameful to feed them the only person who should be ashamed is you mr rees mark. you know saf recently launched a wide ranging program and tackling food insecurity would be granting over $700000.00 pounds to communities groups all over the u.k. arena zation is also helping feed children in the south of london giving out food parcels and assuring breakfasts are distributed to schools there a campaign has put a spotlight on food poverty in the u.k. considered to be one of the wealthiest countries in the world according to unicef
9:11 am
an estimated 2400000 children live in so-called food insecure homes free school meal programs have seen huge numbers of family sign up and unicef has defended its decision to provide help uni said few cases responding to the some press tend to crisis and building on our 25 years experience to working on children's rights in the u.k. with a one off domestic response launched a notice to provide support to vulnerable children and families around the country during this crisis period earlier we spoke with the founder of britain's largest independent food bank who 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 that 12000000 people in britain were in poverty i think what unicef of dawn has of course given some money to
9:12 am
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 scandal is we have a government that keeps pussy footing around the real crisis or brush it or not speak 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 charged 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. as president like joe
9:13 am
biden's promise to unite the country as its next leader but his words don't always match his party's actions as everyone from his campaign manager to the incoming deputy chief of staff and vice of insult republicans has the story. 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 i 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 mitch mcconnell is terrible not exactly a white flag coming from the new administration and she's not alone and 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
9:14 am
the to democratic campaign manager used to curse wait i don't think so so if the side of washington that's winning is already talking trash what about the other ones still sore from losing a 2nd term biden talks about unity and healing but you want to know what they really think read how the person he wants is the next white house deputy chief of staff called republicans in congress a bunch of. button complain manager called us you can try to walk back but this is volumes about him boss who calls for unity while shouting that we are assaulting democracy they 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 homophobia xander. as long.
9:15 am
day mitt and unfortunately there are people like that. 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 don't for our god i cast 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
9:16 am
a brand new president who used to be the vice ad at this point we've got a new post trump america with many things remaining the same and they probably won't be fixed what's been going on for the last 4 years right well america's been in the domestic abuse situation you have one side of the political already that has been for years gaslighting line abusing manipulating pretty minor wounds looting bertie impeaching and coming up with every faith news story that and everything they can to turn the population against this president doing everything they can to divide this country and now it somehow managed to it appears in seoul joe biden is president because for unity or not only the lariats 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
9:17 am
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. and staying with the biden family republicans target joe by the sun for his business dealings in ukraine after years of brat playing with the russia trump collusions a story i warm up to this part. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is on the screen dramatic development only really. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and
9:18 am
talk. welcome back the price of the cryptocurrency bitcoin has hit a record high of $23000.00 it's searched 30 percent in the past month and more than
9:19 am
200 percent since the start of the year that coins are potations as digital gold has grown up with the backing of some high profile investors financial expert and host max kaiser told us why he thinks it's a stable investment. big coal and it was going to go to $400000.00 of going regardless of what what the situation is with the pandemic or regardless of what the situation is between nation states because it will trade similar to a market capitalization of the whole the plan really is caused by paper money and big going to solve the problem of poverty how does big going to fix the problem it capitalizes the banks capitalize the central banks it puts them out of business because everybody has their own bank no paper money has ever survived and ever in history over the past 300 years every single form of paper money as either gone completely bankrupt or lost 99 percent of its value not have ever work it's
9:20 am
impossible to work paper money it's a it's a faulty idea so we only have really goal but in the 21st century bit going it is better than goal so big point is actually pushing gold off the world stage people are buying big going not goal because it's superior to gold and that's the inflection point that we're on in the 21st century right we're witnessing a remarkable transformation of the global economy right now this year it's incredible. joe biden has again been forced to give answers after federal prosecutors launched a criminal probe into his son hunter's tax affairs and then interview together with his wife the u.s. president elect branded all charges i'll play we have great confidence in our so. i'm not concerned about the accusations made against him i think it's kind of fall play the accusations are just part of wider claims including corruption allegations
9:21 am
over $100.00 biden's crane dealings and leaked e-mails from a laptop purported to be his party's money explains why this will remain a headache for the president elect. we none of us a 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 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 underway suspicion of money laundering sex scandals and even apology and for hard drugs crack cocaine you may know all of this or you may be
9:22 am
hearing it for the 1st star the pentagon what you watch and who you read because proof 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 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.
9:23 am
involved and dollars to 4 years of russia gate shenanigans i would say republicans probably want a little bit a back a little hunted gate if you will. off. on top 3 federal investigations are going to take a lot of confidence let's just hope that daddy can have all 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 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 a 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
9:24 am
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 and 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 changes it's really not complicated. yemen's devastating war has been raging for almost 6 years now with the u.n. warning of a humanitarian catastrophe and the threat of famine the world food program spokesperson called food insecurity there is taking time bomb and urge the world to act immediately 2000000 yemeni children are already suffering monitor ssion and need urgent medical treatment according to humanitarian reports the conflict has also left nearly 4000000 people displaced and desperate families are even forced to hide out in the mountains. you.

9:26 am
that's a news break down for this hour thanks for tuning in for every maybe. because there is this huge gusher of money printing bedsteads coming out of the central banks and because tesla has nothing to working against it because it's not. producing anything like the taiyo or ford or some other company where you could look at the actual products in a meaningful context of the global economy and ascribe a value to it you can simply say that well we think that tesla has a mean boy just mostly in. and the monies that mean so we're going to make
9:27 am
a we're $600000000000.00 today and it could be worse they could drop 90 percent tomorrow. mean sure you read of those lists initial to show you just what that also is be a. full tilt of progress for doing lots to draw all. the money in that you will quote them in the us. when you wash the since. another right at the core of the above the ball rolls up on the 'd door to you most of those legit want to keep the more simple miller still but when you want them to drop over to sheldon what all the money. will get that in the us those days need some of what they did that would know more than the board it's.
9:28 am
this is boom bust the one business show you can't force a mass unfair month in washington coming out united states blacklist kind of the largest chip maker and maybe one last move to cement tough on china legacy before trying to presidency comfortable clothes and e-commerce continue to shatter shopping records accelerating a trend many experts thought we wouldn't see until 2035 we have a lot to get to fill let's get started. the u.s. is preparing to add dozens of chinese firms to its trade blacklist and it includes china's largest chip maker smic the u.s. . the commerce department confirmed the decision and secretary. entity less
9:29 am
restrictions are a message sorry measure to ensure that china through its national champion smic is not able to leverage u.s. technologies to enable indigenous advanced technology levels to support its destabilizing military activities on friday china oppose the decision calling it a way for the u.s. to suppress chinese companies. if it is true this will be another example of the u.s. using state power to suppress chinese companies china firmly opposes it the u.s. politicizes economic and trade issues violates the principles of a market economy and fair competition it is a long been advocating and violates international trade rules it not only harms the legitimate rights and interests of chinese companies but it also impairs the interests of american companies that will seriously it was europe to the normal technology exchanges and trade between the 2 countries and even among countries in the one you don't go further damage the global industrial chains which is why chains and value chains suit your the new rules will require
9:30 am
a commerce department license for all u.s. export origin technology going to smic ross also told fox business a total of $77.00 companies and affiliates will be added to this so-called entity list including 60 chinese companies for more on this we pretty much covered christie how does this affect mick. well this is really concerning as distancing nation basically restricts companies from exporting u.s. or technology to these firms like snake without a license so this effectively prohibits s m i c from acquiring technology to build chips with 10 nanometers circuits and smaller which is the industry's top class of chips and this move is now being seen as the latest effort to cement comes a legacy of being tough on china so these latest policies are going to make it significantly more difficult for the incoming administration to unwind and restore so it's kind of almost like crumbs last herat attempt so this move also significantly raises the pressure on the chip maker who receives the bill.
