it's one of the you're going to have a graphic scene showing a hospital is not really going to run or saline. that well into a needle going on however at least 2 health care workers in alaska develop symptoms after they got the pfizer job with one being kept for days on her hospital observation the cases come from the u.k. medical regulator issued a warning about giving the vaccine to anyone with a history of allergies it will continue to be ruled out in alaska and this time we have no plans in changing our vaccine schedule are juicing and their regimen this is all kind of part of what we've been looking for and expecting and looking out for and we are making sure the health care providers know about this earlier i spoke to malcolm kendrick a doctor or 3 who finds the latest developments concerning. we're going to expect reactions but this seems to be quite early so i think it's something that people

should be quite worried don't know who is most likely to have a problem are there some people who just definitely should not be vaccinated. so i think from a medical understanding point. with them we'll just give it and want and hope it doesn't cause a problem so i mean i understand the rush but it is a concerning thing politicians will demonstrate or they think they're going to demonstrate. i think most of the public this is a publicity stunt and i think it might but far from them but i'm definitely not surprised. or concerns have also been raised over the vaccines availability leading to a number of us states considering putting ethnic minorities 1st in line for the short artie's dimitri poke takes a closer look. finally the miracle everyone has been waiting for covert 900 vaccines have started making their way around the world but while some sighed with relief most will have to hold their breath for

a bit longer distribution turns out to be a bit more complicated than expected who needs it 1st who gets it 1st these people even once it all these questions have stirred to bait especially in the us where americans have been split in surprise already groups based on their needs age and even race after health care workers and those living or working at long term health care facilities receive the 1st round of vaccines black hispanic and other minority residents will be prioritized over whites in the following to phases of distribution well that has raised a few eyebrows the c.d.c. points out that is because minorities are 3 times more likely to die from code complications however some medical workers who are already getting the jobs aren't excited to be at the top of the list and feel they are part of an experiment nursing staff feels as though they don't want to be somebody science experiment or a guinea pig but nevertheless most americans are eager to get inoculated even if it means waiting in line i think it makes sense to give our most marginalized population back to me and my partner getting it when it's my turn. turn

deaf i think it should go to critical 1st and then i have the opportunity i will get so i'll get vaccinated for sure and i think it's a good place to start to balance it out i think the older population should get it 1st though 1st the priority list has also caused widespread anger now to put frontline essential workers above those with high risk medical conditions heartless arrogant unelected c.d.c. bureaucrats have decided that the lives of elderly americans just don't count and while there are concerns over the rapid development of the vaccine those with cash to spare are willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars to jump the line we're getting a lot of calls. so they're birdies. and you order my. or are requesting the vaccine kind me kindly letting him know that you know we have an ethical duty to be able to vaccinate. the people that.

need prior d. if you will and then afterwards i'm doing my best to get it for all the patients are a part of my. anybody else who needs it california governor gavin newsom has even warned the state's elite against using their influence to get a hold of a job ahead of those who desperately need it those who think they can get ahead of the line and those who think because they have results is all they have relationships that would allow them to do it we also will be monitoring that's very very closely although coming from him it rings a little hollow all those fancy dinners with healthcare officials after declaring a state wide shut down don't exactly inspire confidence in anything newsom says and the u.s. isn't the only country having a difficult time germany's vaccine distribution plans have also been met with scrutiny unlike the u.s. not all doctors there ended up at the top of the list medical staff in the private sector as well as ambulance workers were not given top priority despite being on

the front lines against the not only treat a large number of high risk patients they're also on the front line when it comes to caring for corona infected people nevertheless they are still lower on the priority list for vaccinations that's a risk because these practices form an important protective wall for the already heavily burdened hospitals german police have also insisted they should be higher on the list due to cost of exposure and the president has stressed the importance of parliamentarians getting the job as soon as possible to make sure the state is capable of running meanwhile the israeli government is getting some unwelcome scrutiny as the country begins to roll at vaccine shots palestinians living in the occupied territories have gotten the short end of the stick today the numbers of covert 1000 cases which is spreading like wildfire in gaza's refugee camps are telling of the catastrophic situation here we call on the international community to immediately end the siege of gaza allow medical supplies in and allocate

vaccines for the gaza strip where many face imminent death. while the arrival of these vaccines does raise hopes for an end to the pandemic there is still a very long way to go before many giant astra zeneca. institute's have launched clinical trials of a joint cruel enough virus vaccine know the aim being to combine elements of the jobs developed individually by the 2 sides. spoke with alexander ginzburg the director of the institute about how their vaccine differs from others. we develop a vaccine from the start of receiving funding to registration really quite quickly in 5 months the main reason is that for 25 years or more we have been developing at the gum alay institute a technological platform on which this vaccine preparation can be made we already had a wealth of experience not only the technology of how to do it but before that we had even worked out possible concentrations when you all the dosages needed to

obtain an optimal immune response with minimal side effects. the safety of the vaccine has been fully proven on a very similar vaccine though not identical against not only ebola viruses but also the mers coronavirus so when we were working against covered 19 we were able to use around 70 percent of an existing element one of the indicators by which the effectiveness of a vaccine is most easily measured is the presence of and to bodies in the blood if we proceed from that's experimental data in a similar vaccine against the bowl or this protective immunity lasted for 2 years we simply didn't have a long observation period. some of your opponents accuse you of not publishing reports on the 2nd and 3rd phases so about the 1st and 2nd phases we published not just anywhere but in the one sits and it's no secret that in 3 or 4 days' time a major english language article on the results of the 3rd phase will be ready for

the pfizer vaccine needs to be transported at minus 70 degrees and yours at minus $23.00 rate minus 18 for now some months down the line i hope that we'll be able to amend the registration certificates that this vaccine can be stored not at minus 18 but the household refrigerator temperature of plus 2. the side effects don't force you out of action there may be a rash headache muscle discomfort and i think the most noticeable effects may be your temperature going up to 38 degrees for 2 days did you take the vaccine yourself yes on march 30th along with all my employees and you're still alive not just alive but pretty active i vaccinated my 14 year old granddaughter so you violated your own instructions against vaccinating children that's outrageous you were ready to kill your entire family for the sake of a new vaccine i wasn't going to kill them but prove that the vaccine is completely

safe. what is the difference between the oxford vaccine that is astra zeneca and the gamma lanes to do vaccines there are a lot of differences but they're not significant oxford and us to seneca went from my point of view along the classic path of working against airborne pathogens our colleagues applied all the rules for creating influenza vaccines to the creation of a vaccine against covered 19 and it seems to me that the epidemiological features of this disease this pathogen were not quite accurately calculated the people at pfizer also understand this and have made great efforts to modify the r.n.a. so that it would not be recognized as far as i understand by protective proteins but i'm not sure where the my colleagues most to solve all the problems on a large scale. let's take you to britain where the u.k. health secretary has called thousands of londoners irresponsible after they opted for last minute trips outside the capital to avoid

a strict locked up some residence in the places they are fleeing to or they aren't too happy either we spoke to people in manchester. i think it is a little bit concerning the amount people who are excess in london called little to the north think a lot of people of all. the advice they've been given and they gave everyone a chalice know. what they're going to do for christmas so it can really on the stand how you can justify a journey but you've got to think really about the implications it does have on those people who have visited obviously people want to get to the families and the loved ones but i'm really not sure that we should be leaving london what is obviously a massive outbreak and going into the regions and potentially taking the virus with them i think the people of london are very inconsiderate about whitney leaving the city of london they don't realise that it's going to spread very thin across the whole of the country what comes after a highly infectious mutation of covert was detected in southern england

a british government's chief scientific adviser says it's also been detected elsewhere. the new variant is spread around the country it's localized in some places but we know it's got there are cases everywhere so it's not as though we can stop this getting into other places there's some they're ready the message has been very clear and i think i want to reinforce it is state local let's bring you to london where long queues form diet side supermarkets a wish concerns of food shortages in the run up now just days before christmas fear fuelled by a combination of factors including a potential no deal bragg's stricter lockdown regulations border closures as well because of the new coronavirus strain we got reaction from former british m.p. george galloway he says that the peculiar the u.k. is reacting to the new strain of the virus only know it when in fact it was discovered months ago. i should tell you that sir patrick vallance says that

this new mutant corona virus was identified last september and it's a couple of days before christmas the government council the whole thing that is in here is suspicious if i tell you that only a few months ago the british government was paying people to go out and restaurant ito to help out they say that we spent billions of taxpayers' money actually in the bill in the restaurant for someone like me who go for it to pay for their own don't know we've gone from that to look forward to before christmas cancelling the whole thing is these are shovel strong start to finish and they're very expensive shambles no i said the government was talking about this. in order to turn from which cataclysmic phil you know.

dozens of journalists based news network al-jazeera have had their smartphones hacked according to cyber security researchers in canada another team looking into the breach believes it happened on the orders of saudi arabia the united arab emirates using has really made spy work. in july and august 2020 government operatives used n.s.o. group's pegasus spy web to hack 36 personal phones belonging to journalists producers anchors and executives at al-jazeera the journalists were hacked by 4 pegasus operators including one operator monarchy that we attribute to saudi arabia and one operator sneaky kestrel that we attribute to the united arab emirates let's take a closer look out the really software firm believed to be involved and group is known for other cyber scandals worldwide including the targeting of journalists in morocco and politicians in spain in those cases they exploited

a vulnerability in watts up leading to the messenger service to sue the firm but in this so group says its tech is used by governments to track down terrorists and criminals so in the. uk all they targeted the faces turned out to be phones which had not updated to the newest operating system the hackers could listen in through the built in microphone take pictures with the camera and access locations and passwords i spoke with former british intelligence officer philip ingram he says the israeli firm behind the malware has a truck record of helping. the n.s.o. group they have been selling the software for quite some time and in fact in 2019 there was some accusations that their software have been used in the tracking of jamal khashoggi and they then withdrew their support from the saudi arabian government they're only supposed to sell it to governments resource to sell it or organizations that have got

a moral and ethical code they have been accused of not doing that across the globe and that's what brought them to attention of a number of the civil rights organizations i think this software specifically targets of devices and if you remember a couple of years ago there was a big legal debate about whether the f.b.i. could get access to. a terrorist apple device in the states and it went through the courts were refusing to give them the codes to get into it and then all of a sudden the caucus disappears because a company must get into it it was one of these is really company stuff by former israeli intelligence officers and any device transmitting anything along even if you believe that you're using a secure the bottom line is someone somewhere can listen into. still ahead a russian space rocket maker and chinese technology for joining us blacklist laura not the reaction it's costs.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confront dacian let it be an arms race in this offense period dramatic follow through the only way i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy to this excess very critical time time to sit down and talk. we started talking about big point in dollars then back in 2011 we've been pushing and telling people about a 10 dollars 100 dollars 1000 dollars 10000 dollars at stella buy at these new all time high prices and the new york times washington d.c. c.n.n. were all pushing their. conspiracy theories and dissuading folks from watching our

show as a result many people around the world mexico latin america asia everywhere got in from 100 countries that are broadcasted and they have made millions we weighed over 100000 millionaires and declined but not so much in the us because the us is blinkered by its love of keynesian economics it's a lot with its low income debt. very welcome back to the program united states imposed restrictions on exports to dozens of russian chinese companies accused of helping military ties from no all american companies will have to apply for special licenses to sell those firms goods or technology the department recognizes the importance of leveraging its partnerships with u.s. and global companies to come but by china and russia to divert u.s.

technology for the destabilizing military programs including by highlighting red flag indicates his such as those relates it's a communist chinese military companies identified by the department of defense the u.s. department of commerce put 103 entities on the list 58 from china 45 russian they include arms manufacturers research institutes the russian state for in that build soyuz rockets in fact russia's space agency has now sent a letter to nelson expressing fears for the future of the international space station. the restrictions imposed by the u.s. on russian enterprises jeopardize the future of the international space station program could you please inform us how nasa will react to this development so as to avoid any risks to the i assess program well the russian and chinese governments have condemned the u.s. move saying it's likely to further damage relations. this is yet another aggressive

step against russia we can only regret that another outgoing us administration has decided to deal a blow to already very poor russian used bilateral relations each blow delays normalization and significantly hinders the process of breaking this deadlock that is some of the 3 mantle to our bilateral relations you don't you know sometimes the united states on the pretext of national security has been using state power to constantly abuse export control measures for the purpose of tracking down foreign companies this is a serious breach of free trade rules serious threat to the security of global industrial and supply chains because of serious harm to the well being and interests of the people of all countries including residents of the united states i think we should interpret anything coming out now and before biden takes office as technical measures transmix for his benefit or the benefit of the republicans don't necessary what biden or dean democrats will continue to china's does we acting in a constrained manner with chinese and foreign minister saying that the united

states should choose dialogue and consultation with china instead of pushing that septa ball sanctions against the chinese companies by over stretching the notion of national security opportunity suppression after all we have all seen what the us has done to its global competitors 1st we see unfair treatment to french else wrong japan's to sheeba and now we see china's highway t.g.i. and cetera i think whoever we are rife with the yes we did next to be suppressed. the us congress has passed a long awaited $900000000000.00 coronavirus stimulus package it is the 2nd relief since the start of the pandemic and now it just needs to be signed off by donald trump lawmakers struck the agreement over the weekend after months of fractious negotiations breaking down for us artie's killer martin. we've got a situation where not only are people dying on a daily basis but people's jobs are in jeopardy unemployment numbers are rising

however members of the u.s. congress are reassuring us that they have put together a relief package help is on the way moments ago in consultation with our committees the 4 leaders of the son of. sam laws are in agreement to the millions of small business owners who are worried their businesses would go on their help is on the way to families struggling with less money. direct payments mean help is on the way the stimulus package will inject $900000000000.00 into the u.s. economy and for average americans that translates to a check of $600.00 now keep in mind that 6 $100.00 will be lessened for people who make more than $75000.00 per year now there will also be a $300.00 boost to federal unemployment benefits now this might sound like a lot for some but many americans look at this and say this is completely

underwhelming and are quite disappointed $600.00 is a slap in the face no one should be proud of making people so desperate that they're reduced to sing think you for a crumb 600 dollars 11000000000 dollars for a border wall $15000000000.00 for a space force we need a radical revolution of values for many americans it's going to be a quite gloomy holiday season jobless claims have shot up close to 8000000 americans have been driven into poverty 27000000 adults in the united states in december were living in a household in which there was food insecurity and not enough food on the table this is one story of a family that has suffered during the pandemic from the economic fallout i actually was getting unemployment when the endemic hit so that endemic can't and i have not been able to get any late unemployment benefits am i going to get an extension so that helps but then i wasn't able to get anything else i still haven't since july

i've lost my car i'm about to lose my apartments if there are no christmas for my kids i've been taking part time jobs i've had 3 jobs since everything happens that i keep losing because of cove it there is also been a devastation of small businesses across the united states we've got quite a bit of frustration from democrats and republicans about all the amount of time that it took to reach a stimulus agreement in. dragged on for months many are questioning how things might change in january when joe biden comes into office biden is promising that he will turn things around regarding the pandemic in his 1st 100 days many people are looking at joe biden's words and saying let's wait and see a lot of frustration in the united states right now a lot of economic suffering a lot of a lot of people that are are very unsatisfied with this stimulus agreement with boom bust co-host christine believes the measure won't be enough to help enough

americans i think this is a temporary and they just to tide us into next year essentially so this is. really this is not enough for many americans potentially facing eviction next year is our unemployment and this wave of small business closures that's not going to stand so this is a lot of measures and provisions jammed all into one proposal but the problem is a total dollar amount isn't enough they had to split the cost so many ways that in the end i'm not sure how big of an impact this is actually going to make it's a temporary band-aid vary so much unlike the phase one deal of the trade deal we have with china where all the difficult meaningful issues have been left out in order to get it done so it's essentially buy more time to kick the can down the road and the progress of this vaccine that everybody is betting on. well let's finish up with some world news in brief. a noisy rally in barcelona where people are angry about the latest. rules affecting

bars and restaurants some of the demonstrators even took a cheeky approach to expressing their discontent. yet few more clothes and show here what you just heard are locals in hawaii singing a volcano erupted before them they have been warned to stay at home there's been a series of minor earthquakes in the region but many clearly couldn't resist the spectacle. and just a reminder for up to the minute news. twitter page has you covered given a follow up to keep you informed today i'm you know me listen is 247 r.t. and turner's.

americans love. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a hope and then you know rebel right that's the things you don't revolt if you have

a stake in the system. and think about the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is for. max kaiser this is a crisis report i told you so i think anybody watching the show will know exactly what i'm talking about as they say right of course kaiser report is the 1st global international television news episode or what do you call a show the show. that told you back in 2011 to buy big queen when it was

a dollar we've been telling you this whole time and the reason why this is important is not only is it hitting all time highs and where well over $20000.00 during this whole time we've had the new york times we've had m s n b c tell thousands millions of americans to not watch us that we are giving them misinformation and dison from ation whereas over at the new york times paul krugman said big queen is a ponzi scheme and that it's inferior to the dollar because the dollar he said his words is backed by men with guns rachel maddow also she never told you about because she never told you about how to liberate yourself and she instead was telling you that we are a benevolent empire and back us we're going to invade yemen and save the women and children there we're going to invade syria and save the women and children there we're going to invade libya everywhere like it's all about violence and.
