goshdarn off reports next there are fears that new types of vaccine fraud could well develop. in 2020 v is for vaccine after months of trials and tribulations they've left the labs for the global market and dozens more are on the way this paints a picture of abundance but the reality couldn't be further from the truth the hope had been the jobs would crush the virus before christmas. but it's a free market and for the right money demand will always be satisfied with supply queue the dark web the internet's underbelly a silk road for drug traffickers weapons smugglers document forgers and other
3:03 am
business that falls on the wrong side of the law now priced at several $100.00 a shot vials claiming to contain a vaccine against covert 19 have filled virtual shelves in the us a whole homeland security squad has been tasked with prowling shady marketplaces and the time to do something new out there any way they can exploit consumers they will interpol is warning that criminal gangs could raid stockpiles as governments are preparing to roll out vaccines criminal organizations are planning to infiltrate or disrupt supply chains another scam targets the most vulnerable the elderly with phony calls luring them into fake vaccine appointments the most gullible are also falling for. these adverts on take talk a social network even though vaccine passports don't exist yet even legitimate
3:04 am
medical institutions have been suspected of fraudulently obtaining and distributing jabs like this new york based provider though it denies any wrongdoing i think we overrate you're good at the state to look after us there are so many individuals and also organized crime networks out there that are looking to make a big bucks out of any situation south of course you will have people in the dark willing to sell your mother's milk willing to try to steal the information to make drugs the whole point of this is criminals work across the world so you'll have criminals operating in parts of europe that are also linked up with people in the middle east and also in southeast asia and of course that makes it very difficult for individual priests in countries to eschew a determine where this stuff is coming from we have the same issue with the drugs trade and and we've never been able to solve that problem it's all about protecting
3:05 am
ourselves from covert 19 but before most of us make a socially distanced queue to get a vaccine there's another dark virus below this. well talking of protection politicians worldwide of cold on people to stay home in the near break now to avoid sparking yet another fresh wave of covert infections to me to poke reports it's that time of year that wishes are meant to come true a particularly one being that 2021 is going to get covert in the cab the time of year when we all come together and celebrate the best way to celebrate new year is not celebrated at all we can't risk putting the country under weeks of restrictions because of just one night. christmas has ended and everyone's in panic mode over a possible 3rd wave of infections several countries have already imposed maximum
3:06 am
restrictions for austrian israel it's round 3 of lock down this is a chance to avoid the food where you would please do everything we can so that he does know and he does as with visits and if isolation at home wasn't bad enough code has apparently evolved seemingly 1st detected in the u.k. and the mutation has spread from the americas to asia while countries shut their borders to british travelers hundreds already on skiing holiday in switzerland apparently gave the authorities and quarantine the slip. many of them stayed in quarantine for a day before they left a notice on the cover of darkness it was when they saw the military's remains untouched that the hotel leaders noticed that their customers had gone but if you do decide to celebrate this year there are some key rules to follow the exam hands on so that with you don't share drinks with those is the new your kisses and hugs should only be shared with those in your immediate family and if you are thinking
3:07 am
of catching some fireworks don't even bother going out it's all restricted cancelled or moving online. but despite all the warnings and restrictions health officials don't seem to think any of it will actually prevent people from doing what they always do if you put more pressure on the system by what might be a post seasonal surge because of the travelling and the likely congregating of people it's very tough for people to not do that whether you stay home this new
3:08 am
year's eve or celebrate it with family and friends apparently 2021 might get a lot worse before it gets better. hospitals in england have reported a wreck or number of covert patients as health officials across britain wall there struggling now to cope with new coronavirus cases the u.k. is distributing the pfizer vaccine and also hopes imminently to approve the astra zeneca in the coming days but all that said a strict quarantine for now remains in place in london and other parts of the country too.

infections have been registered in the last day alone and medical experts fear another spike hafter the holidays as few people got tested and reports symptoms over the festive period the government's also recommending now that care homes let families visit over the new year break but sabrina delivery the daughter of an 81 year old care home resident posted an open appeal to french authorities on social media warning that such non-binding recommendations in her view aren't enough. no one was ever we don't have access to our parents' roof since august 12th since october residents aren't allowed to go outside of introduced easing of restrictions and we are grateful for that but in our nursing home that does not extend for the whole holiday period and residents are still banned from going outside. nursing homes warm relaxing visiting rules could agree and already disastrous situation the report this month found that up to
3:11 am
a 3rd of all covert deaths happen there but the other side of this sabrina delivery we just heard from leeds a group for relatives helping at care homes and things not relaxing the rules is even more dangerous. don't pull. many of those who reported covert symptoms were infected through medical workers most nursing homes are only learned visits and receiving rooms their produce visits visits are only permitted when pre-show jeweled counted in minutes under supervision in a common room in some cases even through glass and of course masks in some cases you can't touch your gouverneur your relative i guess to allow my mother who feels like she's stuck in prison into the course yet i've been asking from the start i've done hunger strikes sit ins at the health ministry i was received at the prime minister's residence i've received an email from this is mccrone who also tried to help me we often ask for help through the media but we're still waiting for orders instead of recommendations sure currently more elderly people die from slipping
3:12 am
over again from paul that other residents in our nursing home are physically and mentally exhausted that is irreversible damage. my friend's father was tough and healthy and frequently run outside yet today he's wearing nablus because he spent so much time locked up he's given up from grief and despair and doesn't leave his bed. well from where they just put a covert relief for small talk with 20 twentieth's been a challenging year for many not least hollywood actors who are rushing to say sorry for their own performances not being diverse enough but as polly boyd to reports critics starting to ask whether or not it's maybe just gone a little too far. 2020 has been a hard year for active no one self rule or in the work world that actors and celebrities. professional pretend is trying to engage with intellectual debate is a great well it's great for a laugh actually. these are people who have to look like they are
3:13 am
human and see well all the goings. but if they loved anyone but themselves they probably wouldn't be celebrities in the 1st place this. the oscars announced that in order to get one of those gold statuette right thing you've got to have underrepresented ethnic groups among the leading cost the crew and the marketing department so that was a tough start for the luvvies but they don't actually all fall into the same category so for every 7 whimpering apologists cough cough which even phoenix. there are some people wondering won't but hell is going on as their colleagues to hide themselves in take zoe saldana who this year of college ised for playing nina simone in a 2016 film i should never be you know she said that she wasn't black enough to
3:14 am
play the iconic sing up she's put on a rock but she's not black enough i should never be you know i am half the way we have to apologize to people with limb differences because she played the grand high wage in the witches and had fewer than 5 fingers and toes. so when the remake of the movie the witches was released portraying the main character who is missing fingers as evil and scary so what we've learned in 2020 is that no one should play any roles unless they all those roles also when you've got a problem acting just ain't what it used to be but when it gets really bad is when you get several actors together for a. good cause who can forget this cringe show this is a virtue signaling that should ever be allowed in one place. huge

sure. the imagine video was a butchering of john lennon in the name of so. aggrandizement. oh it was actually an attempt to make people feel better cheering the global pandemic it really only made things worse so many people vote meeting in response to it that it looked like a symbol of the coronavirus. the final word to act chains of woods known for his unlovely like lean to the right how very very his one what reaction to the oscars planned for enforced diversity. madness i. got a bit of it well it was 2020 still ahead pressing problems to tell you about the medical world world health chief swarm over the use of antibiotics not

max keiser this is the kaiser report with stacy herbert an special year end guest this fires die the men who i must say how does the kind of sensitivity to world events of markets see anywhere except here on time for 4 minutes welcome back. again in the u.s. we're already getting a glimpse of how things might shape up when joe biden takes office enjoy. now it's been revealed the brother of one of biden's closest advisers has secured a low being contract with online giant as a chair for charities his name is registered to lobby for hours and just stuff the presidential election is brother steve formally lobbyist himself will soon serve as
3:18 am
a top white house counselor sources close to the siblings insist they worked makes family and business jeff has never and will never lobby his brother on behalf of any of his clients and see have had no role in his brother's business since he sold his stake in the firm in 2012 stephen jeff keep their professional activities distinctly separate. we spoke to earlier rivera from online news reactionary times dot com who believes the lobbying post is far from a coincidence. of course there's going to be conversations that take place between the brothers regarding amazon's interest and the fact that you know one of the brothers it has a direct line into the president but this is something you know the the institution of lobbying is something that's going to come under fire and under more scrutiny because it's joe biden as president and we already know all that you know it's out there what hunter biden has done internationally we even have the progressive with
3:19 am
in joe biden's only party looking deeper into the situation in addition to republicans watching the activities of the biden in ministration in regard to lobbying the progressive side are you know the elizabeth warren and even in the house to a whole season people like that are already keeping an eye on what the activities are between the buy that in ministration when any incoming hire if they've made formally also worked in the lobbying. a new strain of corona virus has been found in sweden in a woman who recently returned from the u.k. it comes as a swedish government submit to build to impose a strict law if passed by parliament authorities could shut down businesses and find those flouting the rules as a course marks a big break from the country's earlier hands off approach which the government went on to admit was a failure. they make galbally very serious situations the government may decide on
3:20 am
more far reaching measures to prevent crowding that would include the closure of shops public transport shopping centers or other activities covered by the law the hunt lot or we are talking about certain types of trading places where the risk of spreading the disease is assessed as high and where there is a lot of crowding sweden's approach the pandemic is different for most countries it relied on voluntary social distancing while avoiding sweeping locked arms public life are made largely under fact the move was criticised by neighboring countries to even shut their borders in response the further swedish professors and doctors for human rights spoke to a certain believes new restrictions are essential now. this will in the air westerly begin in the economy business and of course. industry etc going to be enormous. they will not be drawn to close the schools because in that case they're 25 percent of the we believe
3:21 am
a force will be temporary last forced sort of study aiming to protect your gonna meet there are not to say most no if you don't do it look down and strict measures is the only way to at least try do. they want to be joined in mortality produced by these voters you willing saw this situation with more and more measures and i was trying to alter the strategy you need to qualitative change here and not into an office trying to you mean in especially in the basin not name it to suit economy but to say like most i mean it should be you know it has to be a human rights. perspective and we don't think you know we're here to say. a warning now the other use of antibiotics to fight covert could accelerate the spread of so-called superbugs the world health organization has highlighted the significant rise in gonorrhea a sexually transmitted bacteria warning it could become incurable. and the micro
3:22 am
bit resisters may not seem as arrogant as a pandemic but it is just as dangerous it threatens to unwind a century of medical progress and levi's a defenseless against infections that today can be treated easily while antibiotics used for gonorrhea have been given out to treat inflammatory symptoms following covert infection is the problem it's reportedly allowed other bacteria to build resistance creating super bugs that could become untreatable we talked to a leading role of just about the over use of such medicines. viruses not stupid. or a bacteria is not stupid it gets no it gets used to a certain antibiotic treatment regimen it this problem of antibiotic resistance has been around and has been increasing over the years without the pandemic as well and for sure what the pentagon's done is that the patients don't go to the doctor
3:23 am
anymore because they're scared of going to the doctor because thinking if if they go to the hospital or if they do go for example to a doctor's office they may get a virus because obviously patients will be sitting there this is a wrong assumption if asians are sick you should still go to the doctor this is very important secondly i think we should still be careful about resistance in general and this same remedy that we had a year ago or 2 years ago is still true today don't use antibiotic the problem of resistance is the over use of antibiotics for irrelevant or minor infections and this is the problem this is the problem it was 2 years ago and is still a problem today. the b.b.c. has diversity chief has claimed white privilege in britain is still rife june sarpong who's black added that even the white working class is in a better situation than middle class people from ethnic minority backgrounds. there is unfairness baked in our system and while the elite white male is at the top of
3:24 am
the tree even the white working class has an advantage over people from black and asian backgrounds but critics have pointed out sarpong may not ideally be placed to comment on the lack of privilege considering she gets the large sum of 75000 pounds a year from the b.b.c. for just 3 days' work a week we asked people on the streets of london and media analyst john galt whether she was right them to speak out. everyone's entitled to an opinion like no matter what like demographic they are so i think she's definitely entitled to her opinion i don't think her income defines that she makes you think her cause and you. see how the right thing. to do. but should understand but see she's doing very well right now. but we don't know what kind of barry knight thanks making plenty of snow at least that story for the people who were there for
3:25 am
what i'm told jennifer really distorted. more of it from people who gave that much you might if you like you can trace that someone to such a high earning like we try to take on this but i think it's out of the race come calling for that so when people get injured they don't understand the journey going sam came from so it's a lack of knowledge when they are in disconnecting and think that this person she's just money but we don't know her journey so you need to take that i don't think june has got any right to criticize people on this there is a whole group of people not just in the b.b.c. but in north london who think they're better than a working class big box i accept if you are in the upper echelons of society and your white like junior seau says more doors are going to open for you but tell that to a white working class bloke from marsh farm in luton they've got privilege we have a black and an asian middle class now june seems to ignore this they are idea that
3:26 am
the white working class somehow have a great privilege absolute nonsense the statistics don't bear it out the most prejudiced people against people at the moment is white working class bar boys who are not performing as well as. an entire village in alaska has had to move if another country threaten to wipe out an american town. we do everything in our power to protect the. water then escaping climate change poses the same threat right now alaska does seem some of the fastest
3:27 am
coastal erosion in the world we lost about 30 feet. 35 feet of the ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. it is fast paced the river is. closer to the power. or i don't think we're part of america or earth from. m.-x. kaiser this is the kaiser a port with stacy herbert and special year end guest misfires stein the man who
3:28 am
i must say have the kind of sensitivity to world events and markets really seen anywhere except here on kaiser report minutes welcome back thanks for having me max and happy new year on a recent episode of our long form podcast called orangeville podcast we described america as we see it today as the grapes of gatsby and that is that we have the economic collapse of the great depression of the thirty's for most people but we have the roaring twenty's of the stock market booms for the top one percent would you agree with this assessment absolutely i mean i think what we're having is rooted extraordinary. where you have extreme bubbles in different markets that are not indicative of what's going on in means me and main street and in maine across america so i think what we have is it is a fundamental disconnect and i think the media is not covering the story they're
3:29 am
missing which is even a bigger problem because people lost trust in the government to remedy things and people lost trust in the media to tell the truth you said something there interesting you said we're in a incredible time warp now in financial markets there's a way to value time it's called interest rates and what we've seen in the last few years is this trend towards 0 percent interest rates and even negative interest rates as close to 20 trillion now in sovereign debt around the world with a negative enter stray so explain to me how this all works because you just meant the time warp and i get we're at a time warp and it's clear we are looking at interest rates and how did it get that way. because it's not a make an homage policy it's never been done in the history of economics who's behind this who's doing this to study economics at this point it's something else is going on better explain please you have this all which we've been talking about for years that's been running several jurors and mr gold will central bank policies
3:30 am
have been absolutely bizarre and it's been planned bizarre it can push interest rates they can store knows because they need to service the in or the hundreds of trillions of dollars in debt that's the new group so interest rates if you might remember me get a urine special in 2018 for calendar year 2019 when the fed chairman said we're going to raise rates for a raise rates and on.
