12:02 pm
sort out exactly what happened and we'll also be looking to try to understand which component of the vaccine might be helping to produce. that news came just hours after a 2nd vaccine developed vibe and 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 jet his vote of confidence. karen 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 produced for the american people and there is now being a several confirmed cases of allergic reactions to the pfizer biome tag vaccine 3rd health worker in alaska was hospitalized after getting the job 2 others have also had an adverse response with one taken to intensive care meanwhile the u.k. is registered to have adverse reactions to the shot and health officials there of
12:03 pm
want people with severe allergies to avoid taking it there's also control to see that americans sue pfizer should the worst happen in february the authorities brought in the public readiness and emergency preparedness or prep act it provides immunity for all vaccine makers for years attorney done explained why even if americans 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
12:04 pm
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. physician and consultant to vaccine manufacturers but top shall about the state of covert jobs stanley 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 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
12:05 pm
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 dark scenes 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 by the 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 addinall virus the astra zeneca people probably feel that that
12:06 pm
they could. improve the response by using not one ad no virus but 2 and that was the good idea of the malaya vaccine to use one that had no wires it's a prime and another add no wires as a boost 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. 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
12:07 pm
that we don't have any information on i will not have any information for many months and i'm 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 pompei has accused russia of carrying out a mage's cyber attack on government departments that despite the lack of any official conclusions from u.s. security agencies this was a very significant effort had i think it's only 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 department of state and homeland security the treasury and also the nuclear security administration a number of private companies are also believed to have been breached the hackers
12:08 pm
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's called the attack a grave risk to u.s. infrastructure but it's not named any suspects so far russia has denied any involvement. that it used to do we didn't register any official messages from the united states about how accurate stacks and accusations about such as we've become accustomed to the fact that the united states as well as other western countries simply announce in the media about new accusations address that russian. political analyst bill but dr believes there are several countries around the world that could have carried out such an attack on the united states. what i have in mind is that washington was more or we could bones which made no sense whatsoever from russia's interest. but it was very good or political talking points but it was full . when we look at the biggest it's still going to be hacking what's been described
12:09 pm
well just briefly and then we look at the sensitivity. of the national security interests that are possibly come the most over syria that this particular incident is our defense or that you believe at all or which while we have only a state rather than malevolent why would individuals or or or subcontractors who must or there 'd are in the world or are several states in the world war of doing the us. government minister in the u.k. has drawn shock and ridicule for remarks made in parliament on child poverty jacob riis madhu's 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 meant to be looking after people in the poorest the most deprived countries of the
12:10 pm
world where people are starving where there are famines or 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 mog. unicef recently launched a wide ranging program aimed at tackling food insecurity would be granting more than $700000.00 pounds to community groups all over the united kingdom the organizations also helping feed children in the south of london giving out food parcels and assuring the breakfasts distributed to schools that the campaigns put a spotlight on food poverty in the u.k. considered one of the wealthiest countries in the world of course according to guinness f an estimated 2400000 children live in so-called food insecure homes free
12:11 pm
school meals programs have seen huge numbers of families sign up and unicef defended its decision to provide humanitarian help. unicef ukase responding to the some press dented crisis and building on our 25 years experience a 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 and the founder of britain's largest independent food bank 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 a word in poverty i think what unicef of dawn 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 rights that when our people are in crisis that
12:12 pm
unicef gives us some cash by the scandal is we have a government that keeps pussy footing around the real crisis in britain 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's promise to unite the country as its leader but his words don't appear to match his party's actions as everyone from his campaign manager to the incoming
12:13 pm
deputy chief of staff divisive insults at republicans and a morbid rickles. 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 the time democratic campaign manager used a curse word i don't think so so if the side of washington that's winning is
12:14 pm
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 reid how the person he wants is the next white house deputy chief of staff called republicans in congress a bunch of. button complain manager call that 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 homophobe xander. as long.
12:15 pm
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 doubt or are 7 there i cast to have her. 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
12:16 pm
won't be fixed what's been going on for the last 8 years right well america has been in the domestic abuse situation you have one side of the political already that has spent more years gaslighting lying abusing manipulating. the mylan saluting bertie impeaching and coming up with every faith news story that ending everything they can to turn the population against this president doing everything they can to divide this country and now it somehow managed through it appears in seoul joe biden is president because for unity or not only at malarious but also extremely cynical i can assure you there's going to be no unity in this country in fact i heard many people on the right saying that they're quite excited for the next 4 years to do everything the luxe 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
12:17 pm
they're not going to be very popular. here without say from moscow all the way from russia gate to get republicans talking joe biden son of a his business dealings in ukraine after years of grappling with the russia collusion saga one of our stories still ahead after the break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.
12:18 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race is on off and spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. i get new in this russian scientists believe they may have made a breakthrough in the decades long search for a vaccine against the virus that causes aids and jobs been in the works since 2011
12:19 pm
and off to going through multiple adjustments and showing some highly promising results let's go live to a correspondent among call serves across this force. can you tell us a bit more about this potential vaccine then who's behind it i'm one of the announced. well it's russia saying to fix sensor vector and they're about to register their. 19 vaccine and they have made this major announcement and it has nothing to do with the coronavirus now the scientist at the vector center they claim that there the vaccine has shown a near perfect result with 100 percent of the volunteers developing antibodies now the research itself is taking place in 2 siberian clinics with 240 volunteers participating vector center says that they've been working on this hiv vaccine scene say 2011 and they're now certain that it is safe and doesn't cause any side
12:20 pm
effects according to russia's national registry of drugs the license for clinical trials was received by a vector back in 2013 so now it's a get some more details about it 100 percent of volunteers should be specific antibodies and so i took 60 lymphocytes off to double darks nation and 80 percent of them had against hiv ysu do viruses so the main question now is probably when the vaccine will actually be ready well according to vector clinical trials should be completed by the end of next year so end of 2021 and as soon as richest ration is complete in russia it will be made available and by the way the head of the country's consumer watchdog had also announced a back in the 1st of december that russia actually developed the hiv vaccine. it has been a long time coming hasn't and but a much needed optimism in this year or
12:21 pm
a roman culture of thanks for that. us president elect joe biden's again been forced to give answers off the federal prosecutors launched a criminal probe into his son hunter's tax affairs and an interview alongside his wife the us president elect branded all the charges as foul play. we have great confidence in our son. play well those accusations are just part of why declaims including corruption allegations ago to biden's ukraine dealings and leaked e-mails from a laptop reported to be is when i guess the explains why this is likely to 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
12:22 pm
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 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 proved 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
12:23 pm
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 off to 4 years of russia gate shenanigans i would say republicans probably want a little payback a little hunted gate if you will. on top 3 federal investigations are going to take a lot of confidence let's just hope that daddy can handle the pressure because if he thought that he wouldn't skate the gauntlet that they put trump through well he was wrong the importance of the thing isn't that hunter has bad information about
12:24 pm
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 they finally succeeded they couldn't do it with the russian 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 chances it's really not complicated. price of cryptocurrency bitcoin has hit a record high of $23000.00 and surged 30 percent in the past month and more than
12:25 pm
200 percent since the start of the year of the coins reputation is digital gold has grown with the backing of some high profile investors financial expert an aussie house max keiser told us why he thinks it's a stable investment even during a pandemic. but cohen is 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 will trade similar to a market capitalization of gold the party is caused by paper money and big coin solves the problem of poverty how does big going to fix the problem it capitalizes the banks it 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
