a few months ago when many of the countries hoarded vaccines threatening to sue each other or cut all the exports lobbyists would point out its capitalism free market unlike governments corporations are no obligation to think about moral issues the greater good or people before profit just as long as the balance sheet looks good and the numbers show big farmers by the street does look pretty good pfizer alone made 3500000000 in revenue during the 1st quarter of this year so when someone at the us president says it's time. the share big pharma freaks out and so does the market with many companies seeing shares plummet some buy record amounts they're not the only ones panicking some lawmakers are more worried about us that knowledge of falling into the hands of russia or china not total to boo speaking of russia joe biden has support from unexpected places as moscow approved the

3:24 am
of. the reason we're really angry with them is that the fishing licenses came with technical restrictions that were different for each fisherman and these restrictions are completely illegal and violate the breaks a treaty for example a fisherman for some totally illogical reason won't be allowed to fish in a certain zone in jersey's waters another won't be allowed to fish for certain species another will be limited to one fishing technique and when people meet it is to use a strolling that's for instance they were different for everyone french fishermen are serious over what they see as being a breach of the briggs it deal over fishing rights they say that in addition all conditions have been imposed with limits on the number of days that they can fish or what clear that they can use in certain zones they've told r.t. that these restrictions are economically unbearable for french companies and now it seems the european commission is fully behind them on the 30 day reprieve. but
