so we're to. believe you know if i'm. in the day's headlines the u.s. food and drug administration reveals it's now probing 5 allergic reactions to the pfizer biotech vaccine including 3 alaska health workers. also this hour a top u.s. consultant to vaccine manufacturers tells our team that while cobra jobs do look promising for only part of the solution. not pessimistic about. the least reducing the infection whether they. completely obliterate the infection remains to be seen. plus the u.s.

secretary of state blames russia for a cyber attack on government agencies although security officials admit they don't know who was behind the breach. and the british government ministers sparked outrage with his criticism of the unicef multi-millionaire take a very small get dismissed the agency's efforts to feed hungry children in the u.k. as a political stunt. a very warm welcome to the program on this saturday evening it's now 6 pm here in the russian capital let's get started with your life news update. authorities in the u.s. have said they're now investigating 5 adverse responses to the pfizer biotech vaccine including 3 alaska health workers officials admit they still don't know the exact cause. 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 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 were more than happy to step forward before this week was. to take the safe and effective coronavirus vaccine that we have secured produced for the american people there have now been several confirmed cases of allergic reactions to the pfizer biotech vaccine and their health care worker and alaska was hospitalized after getting the job to others also had an adverse response with one taken to intensive

care meanwhile the u.k. wrote a survey to adverse reactions to the shot and the country's health officials have warned against vaccinating people with a history of severe allergies now there's also controversy that americans cannot sue pfizer or madonna and highbury authorities brought in the public readiness and emergency preparedness or prep act that provides immunity for all vaccine makers for 4 years attorney done explain why if an american fall sick they may never get compensation. 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

that for fear that they might get sued so the government said we will protect you companies so you can't be sued a top u.s. position and consultant to vaccine manufacturers spoke to our channel about the state of coban jobs saying that plug in told us whether the shots can stop endemic or not. many people fear of vaccines and this is true throughout the world and yet when one really looks at the record back scenes in general have been quite safe now the thing that one has to understand is here is risk if the risk of the disease as it is for ringback covert 19 let's say is 20 percent 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 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 but unvaccinated people will not be protected so we have a lot to learn about the vaccines. both the gama layer vaccine and the astra zeneca vaccine are based on

a virus called add no virus the astra zeneca people probably feel that that 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 it's a prime and another ad no irises a boost and that seems to work better. they will be collected certainly through the next year now 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

a nother 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. the us secretary of state mike palm pale has accused russia of carrying out a major cyber attack on government departments as despite the lack of any official conclusions from ya security agencies this was a very significant effort and i think it's the case that now we can say pretty clearly that it was the russians that engaged in this activity. the breach was reported last weekend and is believed to have targeted several government bodies including the departments of state and homeland security the treasury and the

nuclear security administration a number of private companies are also believed to have been reached the hackers are said to have hijacked software used by the 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 the. news that it has to do look at you tube we 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 exemptions address that russia holds political analyst gilbert doctor believes there are several countries around the world that could have carried out such an attack. what i have in mind is that watching the war all we could which made no sense whatsoever about

his interests but it was very good or political talking points for the wars films. when we look at the biggest it's still going to the hacking that's been described just here and we look at the sensitivity. of the national security or interests of senators that are possibly company wanted me to be and i was sorry that this particular incident was our defense or the new belief or the water which likely only a state rather than lower level of why that individuals or or or subcontractors could muster if there 'd are in the world or are several states in the world capable of doing for us. a senior member of the governing conservative party has drawn shock and ridicule for his latest comments on child poverty take a brace madhu's net worth is estimated at more than 100000000 pounds i lashed out at unicef saying it should not be helping impoverished children in the u.k.

real scoundrel that unicef should be playing 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 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. in a staff recently launched a wide ranging program aimed at tackling food insecurity will 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 sharing breakfasts as are distributed to schools there now the campaign has put a spotlight on food poverty in the u.k.

considered one of the wealthiest countries in the world according to unicef 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 unicef u.k. is responding to the some precedented crisis with a one off domestic response launched a notice to provide support to vulnerable children this and building on our 25 years experience to working on children's rights in the u.k. a 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 for don has of course given some money to people in britain and britain has confirmed that 12000000 people in britain were in poverty i think 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 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 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. you know as president elect joe biden's promise to unite the country as its next later but his

words don't always match his party's actions as everyone from his campaign manager to the incoming deputy chief of staff decisive insult at publicans our days come up and has a 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 by a pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify. who doesn't see 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 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 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 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 where a deplorable. 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.

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 and independents for the struggling the striving the successful for all those who vote for me and for those who doubt or are 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

a brand new president who used to be the vice and at this point we've got a new post america with many things remaining the same and they probably won't be fixed what's been going on for the last 8 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 lying abusing manipulating pretty minor wounds looting burning impeaching and coming up with every fake news story that in doing everything they can or 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 malarious but also extremely cynical i can assure you there's going to be no unity in this country in fact many people on the right saying that they're quite excited for the next 4 years to do everything the looks been 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. and staying with the biden family republicans target joe biden's son over his business dealings in ukraine after years of grappling with the brush the trump collusion saga a story and more after this point. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. the isolation pool community. are you going the right way or are you being

led. what is true what is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or a made in the shallowness. to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going from day shouldn't let it be an arms race is on the off and spearing dramatic development only loosely i'm going to lose east i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. combat them instead of stating war has been raging for almost 60 years now with the

un warning of a humanitarian catastrophe and the threat of famine the world food program spokesperson called food insecurity there a ticking time bomb and urged the world to act immediately 2000000 yemeni children are already suffering malnutrition 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. we moved here and even had our wedding ceremony here we do not have a place to live or anything else we need help.

on the island at least for many transport and we have children they are cold and hungry and they want tea so far from this area. as you see our situation is difficult we need help we need housing food and blankets we are in danger inside this case. joe biden has again been forced to give answers after federal prosecutors launched a criminal probe into his son hunter's tax affairs and an interview together with his wife the us president elect brown of all charges of foul 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 foul play those accusations are just part of wider claims including corruption allegations over $100.00 biden's ukraine dealings and lead to e-mails from a laptop purported to be his artist models to have explains why this will remain a headache for the president elect. 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 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 biden has scandal ridden chairmanship of

a ukrainian energy company a tax investigation under way 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 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 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 hunted gate if you will. on top 3 said 2 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 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 holds 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 data leaks that could be damaging to his election chances it's really not complicated. the price of the cryptocurrency bitcoin has hit a record high of $23000.00 it's a 30 percent in the past month and more than 200 percent since the start of the year that coins reputation as digital gold has grown up with the backing of some high profile investors financial expert and our 2 house max keiser told us why he thinks it's a stable investment. it was going to go to $400000.00

a going regardless of whether what the situation is with the pandemic or regardless of what the situation is between nation states because it'll trade similar to a market capitalization of gold the bloddy is caused by paper money and big coin solves the problem of poverty how does big going to fix the problem it decapitate lies is the banks capitalized the central banks it puts them out of business because everybody has their own bank no paper money has ever survived 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 impossible to work paper money it's a it's a faulty idea so we only have really goal but in the 21st century bitcoin is better than gold so big coin 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 we're witnessing a remarkable transformation of the global economy right now this year it's incredible. that's our global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always head to our web site r.t. dot com for the details on all those stories and many more. world. she sure movielink of those who did just that in japanese and i. don't mind it just became is an under. the shuttles all. the time you can look at the my face you know

along today my country not in the east of upset the map. of the economy to have more than a last step is that. you will see only. the muslims who get to know not only was there a grander goal of the environment than the music on. the ground other than that i'm going to use the term obama didn't know i'm going to go. look at what's called the minimum. going to come up thinking i'm up to snuff chicago can go missing i'm just going to go maybe i'm not really happy that what am i going to. be.

a machine or a times you're only eve of the un's international you wouldn't solidarity day you're watching the finale of this season of going underground it's really here it is even assassination that almost. bug world war 3 the arguable end to a trump era that exacerbated a global exists crenshaw climate crisis and a london court case that may decide the future for a free press everywhere and all that against a backdrop of a widely predicted global pandemic that has killed over 1600000 people in affected billions ahead of perhaps hundreds of millions more now being forced into near liberal poverty joining me now is legendary journalist and filmmaker john pilger his decades of work as expose the truth when it comes to war plus and neoliberalism john thanks so much for coming back on the world as i said talking about coronavirus itself linked to climate change you know many people connecting those to you think the virus the response emblematic of. something that threatens

everything that threatens all of us yes it does for a norm of us and that's been exacerbated by some of the more outrageous political positions i think one thing stuck in my mind and that was the amnesty report on early october 1st said that 18 and a half. elderly people were discharged from hospitals into care homes and they died. they died from coated i mean that's there's almost a eugenic sense about it it is one of those if that's not one of the great civil war crimes of our time i don't know what is the boris johnson government and scientists advising the girl who said they didn't know that that's what would befall them as they released them they knew about covert. i can't really debate

whether they you or not the fact that this is already happened in italy the same thing happened in italy in a part privatized health system in northern italy and long body where they threw people out of hospitals into care and and they died a lot of elderly people died. if people remember nothing else they should not forget those people those 18000 people vulnerable people deny the access to their relatives many of them who died and it's it's you know in an age when we. were speaking of so much and right.
