for a 100 years ah, highly vulnerable patients are risk in the u. k. as confusion grows over the difference between a 3rd dose of a cobra vaccine and a booster as well as the correct order in which they should be, give it to people that's keeping disinfection. the doctor sacred. no, nothing about that. joe didn't know about the booster. i'm painting, i'm giving it the group's bit. this information is not been given out correctly. poland accuses the you of pressure and blackmail low as a dispute over the rule of law rises to summit level and lower your expectations are republican. senator claims that should be jo biden's motto, amid anger at supply chain disruptions and oblique forecast for the u. s. economy. ah,

wherever you are in the world, you know what time it is. it's time for t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. vulnerable patience in the u. k. could be missing out on a life saving cobit shot. it's all over confusion about the difference between the 3rd dose of the vaccine and a booster is inoculations must be given in the correct order. but these 2 terms are often used interchangeably, leading to a mix up even among medics. i went to to richie p surgery and she said it was not very jam. chris sherman is not here. right? a fish? this is different to a booster. is his parents the primary course of the vaccine? right? but price of that to my research, and my research, what i found whilst that is a dose, gosh,

the booster router value, as when to looms and rumors of returning to lockdown, circulate the government is upping the ante on the vaccination top rollouts. but those that need it, the most struggling to get the 3rd dose they so desperately need you to confusion over the differences between the 3rd jab and the booster by the very people administering them legal from white to speaking to him. and he's saying the word in it differently than faxing has gotten different, and it's certainly as confusing people. the recommendation is that those who are immunosuppressed, meaning they have a weekend immune system at the time of their 1st. and 2nd cove at vaccines should now receive a 3rd dose as part of the primary vaccination routine. the booster program is totally separate to the 3rd dose and is being offered to the over fifty's, those with underlying health conditions and those living with the immunosuppressed

as well. not only are they entirely different jobs, but thousands of extremely vulnerable people are struggling to book into their life . saving vaccines with experts saying that this huge error could cost lives. reduction it'd be the potency of the jobs for the boosters. so there's a lot of a translation of these 2 terms, the media compromise. people don't have full effective immunity against a cave in 19. if you don't have your immunity top top to the that the optimum level for you, then your greater risk. you need to bait, proceed with me. some people will end up passing away because of julie's husband, brian suffers multiple myeloma, a rare type of blood cancer, meaning he is amino compromised and entitled to his 3rd and the last 8 weeks. so julie has fought against at least a dozen health care professionals,

including gps chemists and even staff and vaccination centers. they told her there is no such thing as a 3rd dose. oh, use the time interchangeably with booster. the people that's giving this injection . dr. sacred, know nothing about the day, joe. you know about the booster. i'm feeling. i'm feeling the go room to be honest because did not you have the right to commission in my i for lots of people about the booster thinking to get the job and did not be published. i'm speaking on behalf of brian because e is magwell. all the people out there that's not just necessarily got my loaner got leukemia. lymphoma but it's got any thing that give them a compromised immune system. so my husband is one person, but i just think about all the people, but it's not actually beander avenue more either in the contract that this information has not been given out correctly. as you can, infections hit almost 50000 in a single day. the highest since july,

in order to avoid the return to kind of restrictions the government is urging the public to do that bit and take the coven vaccine and booster office. i think we've been really clear that we've all got a role to play. if people, if not enough people that boosted jobs, it's gonna hit is all, or when those administering the jobs don't know which is which leaves those most vulnerable even more. so, shut edwards dashti, artie london. we won't act under pressure or blackmail that was the polish prime minister statement at the summit in brussels. tensions have been high between the block and warsaw recently over the question of rule of law, a subject at the forefront of discussions and dividing member states with the details here. charlotte davinsky from paris elite is debating late into the night over those and difficult topics. so much so that the usual press conference after the 1st day of the counsel at was canceled one official saying that raoul about

poland. unless a rule of law and whether a country's law takes precedence or not. of law was so tense that the slovak prime minister actually had to intervene at one point to calm the situation down. but we won't know exactly who said what, because the usual detail to record taking has been full gone this time for more generic note making. make of that what he wants. now the sparring though, had already began before the leaders even sat down at the table, the polish prime minister. on his arrival at that summit, making clear that his country's position was firm and it would not be battling down your will, your majority will. he won't act under pressure or blackmail. we're ready for dialogue. we don't agree with the constantly broadening range of competencies, but we will of course, talk about it to be sure of how to resolve the current dispute with understanding and dialogues. if they look now, we know that most european countries and then he does

a pretty serious with poland at the moment over this wrangle about the rule of law . however, poland can account on the support of at least one other member state that hungary, who itself is in its own tussle with the european union, was going on here is regularly that european institutions circumvent the rights of the national or parliament and government and modify are the treaty without having any legitimate thir or serenity, tall lucel, saw the polish, all right at the independence of the polish traditionally used a key issue which we have to discuss and we have to shuttle and we're balter. so take the necessary steps that is non negotiable. it's a shame that we have to spend a lot of time on this because we could devote our time to discuss an energy price or the future of our economy or to better social protection. the main question i ask my polish colleague, what future do you see in europe? are you part of this club? you can be part of the club and at the same time, say the rules that apply to everybody, do not apply to you anymore. no,

i understand that they won't be any official mention all that debate over poland from the european council, but unofficially we know that the council president shaw. michelle says that he believes the primacy of you law is fundamental. so this is an issue that will continue to tear away at u member states. the other big discussion that was on the table on thursday was energy and how the european union is going to deal with this looming energy crisis as we move into the winter. now, leaders are have apparently adopted a conclusion over how they're going to deal with the spiking energy prices. but that also is a pretty difficult discussion. this is though, what the commission president ursula bundling had to say about that in the mit and long term. it is very clear that the strategy has to be to invest massively in clean and renewable energy because this is energy that is reliable because it is

produced in europe. and it is the future growing energy though another sticking point between new member states with, for a couple of my misstates. now, blaming that as being, the reason that europe is in this problem, this crisis at the moment, they're saying what's happened over the last few years is that the e u, in the commission itself is pushed towards a greener agenda. and it's done that at a point that so fast, but it hasn't got the technology to pick up the slack as it's been closing down domestic gas fields. and for some member states including poland. this is the big issue. in fact, poland actually suggested to the leaders that what they should be which should be a rethink. you $6455.00 climate package that though was shot down discussions due to continue on friday at with lead is lou lou to discuss

trade and how that can be used as a bargaining chip full influence full of the european union in the future. you can imagine as that it will be time for more fun and debating and possibly even more disagreements. 16 people are confirmed dead in an explosion at a gun powder factory near the russian city of reason, which is just about 200 kilometers south east of moscow. several people are still on accounted for while a search and rescue operation is underway in the completely destroyed building. a preliminary investigation suggests a violation of safety regulations could have led to the explosion. and a fire, sparked by the police, has now been brought under control. the factory produced explosives for industrial use and also decommissioned ammunition the biden administration is considering deploying the national guard to deal with the current supply chain, crisis ravaging the country. u. s. ports and warehouses are packed with goods,

but there's a shortage of drivers to deliver them. so now the president has said at a maryland town hall meeting that he was discussing the measure, the federal reserve earlier concluded that the crisis had resulted in significantly slowed economic growth. and is caleb mauppin reports? all of these problems seem to have appeared on biden's watch. the u. s. federal reserve is a vital institution that's at the center of the u. s. economy. and in their recently published report, referred to as the beige book. they said some pretty dire things. they pointed out that quote, the pace of growth slowed constrained by supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, referring to september through october, goes on to talk about how in transportation, in technology and manufacturing. there has been labor supply shortages, while retail hospitality, and manufacturing firms have had cut hours of production and other problems due to

the pandemic. now, inflation in the united states reached a 13 year high in june, and it remained high ever since. and polls show that 62 percent of americans believe that joe biden is to blame for this. now it's important to note that inflation started climbing in april after joe biden had already been in office for 3 months now, rather than holding biden's feet to the fire. we see mainstream media stepping up to defend biden and point. the finger at the american people are there was recently an article published by the washington post on monday that went as far as telling the u. s. public to lower their expectations and to stop blaming the biden administration for falling, living standards that needless to say, there were many who spoke up and did not approve of the town of that article. among them was republican. senator josh holly, you know, i think that lower your expectations, tucker is really the slogan of the vice presidency. we're told that the american

people with a problem. you, your, the problem national may lays. oh, it's all the american people's fault. in fact, it's joe boyd's fault and his terrible policies he's trying to run down this country because he doesn't believe in it. and at this point, we've got joe biden losing public support. polls continue to show that there was a pull tuesday from winnipeg university that showed 37 percent of americans think biden is doing a good job. well, 50 percent, disapprove, of how he's handling the presidency. 58 percent of voters are even unsure whether or not biden is physically and mentally up to the task of running the country. now, biden himself doesn't seem very concerned about this, so he tends to blame donald trump when confronted about the problems in the economy and other failures of his administration. i in september biden even told reporters that he doesn't actually look at the polls, but he's confident that his policies are, quote, overwhelmingly popular. and of course, he doesn't miss an opportunity to blame his predecessor, saying, quote, take

a look what i inherited when i came to office. he's also blamed republicans for refusing to raise the debt ceiling. now on tuesday, jen saki the white house spokesperson, she was confronted about some of this, and the answer she gave didn't go over very well. it was crystal clear that things were not improving on time. people couldn't get dishwashers and furniture and treadmills delivered on time. not to mention also another thing. so why is a tragedy in the short the treadmill that's delaying the trick? the problem now we spoke to people on the streets of new york about how they've been affected by this and how they felt about the white house comments. here's what we heard. if they would really making jokes about it and actually action things, we would get things done well, i think it's terrible. i think that it's a major problem and it needs to be addressed. and i know that that washington is doing a whole lot about it in the electrical business and everything is back order. you've got to wait months. now,

the u. s. economy is showing signs of systemic distress. we've got the inflation that is hitting americans in their daily lives, the supply chain issues. and most americans, according to polls feel that joe biden is responsible. however, the biden administration may blame it on donald trump. they blame it on other factors and they don't seem to be very concerned about it. as yo buttons ratings continue to fall his son. however, this hitting a few highs in the art world. hunter, biden's pictures have sold 2 anonymous bitters for up to half a $1000000.00 apiece, but that the price tag hasn't stopped some from poking a bit of fun at the actual artwork. the 1st painting as a clawed, monet, a very beautiful thing. it is beautiful and it is listed at christie's for $700000.00. al club money was the founder of the impressionist movement. something i didn't know until i researched. the 2nd painting is that they got it another

well renowned artist in this painting sold for $500000.00. the 3rd painting you may recognize this name is 100 biden. i'm painting all recognize the painting. $100.00 biden painting sold for $500000.00 also. now you may think that such an exclusive that, that 100 binders and such exclusive company that he would have a background, you know, artistic training for example. but you would be wrong if you thought that it seems pretty obvious that people are buying influence with the president by, by purchasing hunter biden's r p. suddenly an art, an artist, and he's selling to anonymous donors and inspires rather nobody really knows who isn't giving all this money for his little finger paintings and he's churning out. we do know that several them sold for over $75000.00 a piece recently. and it seems to be, you know, under biden is, it's kind of difficult to dislike him. he's kind of

a likable person. but it does get this question of corruption and access, which is something that seems to follow around on turbine. and it's relation this father and where he goes. and it seems like these are pieces that he's making and selling are kind of the least of what he's been involved in and how he's used his father for access and advantages that people have used him to get to his father. perhaps he stirred the art world, but he's failed to grab the attention of cnn. the media giant hasn't mentioned the president son once in the last month. according to a recent report. instead opting to cover a seemingly more colorful hunter, tv personality, dwayne chapman, a k dog, the bounty hunter. and yes, the ex con may deserve more star attention. maybe getting mentioned 8 times on cnn . wal hunter biden didn't make it once. despite those paintings, setting, selling for staggering sums and fears of bribery and money laundering going on, addressed. but while cnn turns a blind eye,

hunter biden is stirring interest elsewhere. right. leaning media and the u. s. have been reporting on revelations of some potentially damaging problems faced by the president. son recovered emails from hunters laptop claimed that he and his father shared money in their accounts and even paid each other bills. and last month it was revealed that in 2015 hunter allegedly demanded a $2000000.00 fee to help unlock libby, an assets that had been frozen by the obama administration. given all these accusations summer questioning why the media is silent, isn't it funny how hunter biden does everything that trump children were falsely accused of attacked over and condemned for yet the media stay silent? you people who are letting joe biden tell you how to raise your children and tell you what's best for them. i have one word for you hunter, one year later in the night. post diligent reporting on hunter biden's laptop remains more credible than a single story about russian collusion. gas prices are about as high as hunter bite

. and right now, we heard from christopher harris of equality network on hyphenated america, who believes that cnn has lost credibility in the eyes of its audience. clearly seen it is not trusted. you can tell by the cycle their ratings are dropping. they haven't had a 1000000 viewers in how long it's been months or so since they've had a 1000000 viewers. and i think even the number of viewers that they have is mainly because what are they still paying airports and train stations to display c n n a. it would be interesting to see like, what's the real number actual viewers? and that would tell you, like the free market would say, nobody really trust cnn because they don't report the truth. there's not another stuff about always my true or your true. know, there's faxes, empirical data, there is no objective truth. and it's clear that cnn is not in the business, the reporting objective truth. after the break, president putin and israeli new prime minister men, natalie bennett,

reaffirm the countries close ties at a meeting in the russian resort city of searching. our correspondent is there for us as well. have a lot of interesting details after the short break. mm hm. ah . join me every thursday on the alex simon shows. i'll be speaking to guess on the world politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. oh is your media a reflection of reality? ah ah, in the world transformed what will make you feel safer?

hi, solution for community. are you going the right way or are you being led to some with direct? what is true? walk this way. in the world corrupted, you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah, we'll come back to the program. facebook c, e o. mark zuckerberg might be facing a $1700000000.00 hit as he has been made a defendant and a data protection lawsuit against his platform. it comes in growing calls for more government regulation to tackle dangerous content on social media. driven recently by the testimony of whistleblower francis hogan,

but she's also not above suspicion with compromising links to the u. s. establishment. putting her in the spotlight as a potential government stooge. as ortiz, dmitri polk reports, whistleblowers are generally seen by many to be sort of brave heroes. they put their careers freedom were even lives on the line. to reveal the dirtiest seeker itself corrupts organizations and governments. but when a whistleblower like francis hogan comes along and becomes an overnight mainstream media darling with an odd background and a full team of top tier lawyers with close ties to the establishment. that sort of raises some questions to say the least. i mean, come on. how many whistleblowers get these kinds of high production, promo reales? these look has the resources and potentially the motivation to run my life. this is my virtual badge. today i join fisma and i was recruited kitty for cynic misinformation p. m. i was extremely excited to be able to make

a difference in the whistleblower blowing the lid on the social media giant that's constantly accused of pushing agenda, censoring dissent and violating privacy, etc. well, let's just say halligan's revelations turned out to be a bit more in line with establishment talking points than you would expect. apparently the whole point of her leaks was that she just wanted to promote more government regulation and censorship of co, dangerous content hate speech and misinformation. when you're a, a real whistleblower, you are targeted by the government. you are silenced, you are prosecuted and sent to prison. but if you are celebrated on capitol hill and financed by independent companies, i'm sorry, but you're not a whistleblower. you're a political tool. she's being treated well by democrats on capitol hill by the white house, by the mainstream media, because she supports their narrative. you know,

there's talk on capitol hill about breaking up facebook and breaking up some of the other big tech companies because they're monopolies so far. no one has had the guts to pursue something like that. this may be the hook that they need to at least start looking into anti monopoly actions against facebook and against some of the other big companies. so the question now is, who exactly is this woman and who is supporting her? well, according to political hug and allegedly has quite a few big name backers. there's larry lessig, a former democratic presidential candidate who is now managing her legal team. there's been scott, former tech adviser to hillary clinton and then there's her tapia representative mill burden, who runs public affairs at a little non profit called the center for humane technology. which brings us to the guy behind all of them. e bay founder and millionaire media mogul, peer media, who's luminated foundation,

apparently funds all these people and their organizations. but if you think of media is supporting halligan out of a sense of justice or disgust at the way social media giants operator, something like that. well, that may be a little naive ever since he started growing his media empire, his main clients have been done. done, done the state department. apparently he helped them supplement regime change in foreign countries, which they don't even actually hide. they literally posted online as their strategic plan well with these kind of ties allegations that halligan is backed by us. intelligence insiders doesn't even seem like that far of a stretch. any more fear on media or through his limit. a foundation has sponsored whistleblower aid. o, many are put up the money for this very suspicious our organization which claims that it's sort of an anti wiki leagues. and it encourages whistleblowers to collaborate with the government and with their employer as they blow the whistle.

it's pretty clear that they coached frances halligan, inserted her script about taking on official enemies through facebook's threat intelligence division from ethiopia to me and mar to china, to iran and omit ours role was never reported until weeks after huggins high profile testimony. but it makes perfect sense, considering that facebook is the bad cop of the big tech world. and mark zuckerberg is a whipping boy for virtually every one in washington right now. so along comes omit, he are sponsoring this group, this whistleblower who want to speak out about how toxic facebook has become. and he appears like the good cop, the good big tech guy who wants to work with the democrats and actually help sensor what goes on in social media, which is a key imperative of the democratic party right now. whistleblower aid doesn't

exactly have a good reputation among whistleblowers to put it mildly the founder mark zaid literally read it out. his client geoffrey sterling, an actual whistleblower to his buddies at langley. but then had no issues representing the ukrainian whistleblower and trumps impeachment trial. and andrew, because another key figure at the firm, which, judging by his name, is suppose to aid whistleblowers, literally called her ju innocence to face the full wrath of the law. it was an honor to support frances hogan today. she testified before the senate, i am privileged to work with a talented team of co counsels. thank you. out front sin n for having me on this evening. i'm proud to represent francis, a courageous whistle blower alongside my colleagues and whistleblower aid with frances halligan's, unusual success story. many whistleblowers now probably wish they also had the kind of support that she does. but unfortunately, it seems, there revelations just weren't as convenient for the establishment. so all they got

was prosecution and a cold shoulder at best. israel's new prime minister, enough tale bennett, has met president putin for the 1st time since taking office. the 2 leaders, reaffirmed the countries close ties during a gathering in the russian resort city of sochi. elliot but rank wraps up the meeting for us. well, the way russia and israel have been dealing with each other in the past few years is truly remarkable. because on the one hand, ma skills, the allies in the region are of the islamic republic of iran and also syria ruled vice president bashar al assad. but then on the other hand, these are some of the staunch is enemies of tel aviv. however, despite all that latimer potent and the previous is rarely prime minister, benjamin netanyahu have been able to build a truly trustworthy relationship, if not close ties in some areas. and by the looks of it, the new head of these really government, natalie bennett,

isn't keen to challenge or change that. and this attitude is being felt here in russia ish in the jewish things. mother, i hope very much that despite domestic political battles, which are inevitable for any country, you'll government will pursue a policy of continuity in russian israeli relations. when we built businesslike and trust based relations with a previous government hillary mala, marcia, i'd like to say that our relations are based on very close ties between our countries in our people, mister president, for more than 20 years. you have been working to strength and ties between our countries and you have brought them to this level sion. i want to tell you on behalf of the whole country and our people that we see you as a very close and true friend of the state of israel. now, when it comes to the agenda, when it comes to the things that are on the table, well, that was easy to predict her, the 2 things that i mentioned, the situation in syria and also the iranian nuclear program. this is where despite

the, the new chapter and friendship between the 2 nations, the discussions perhaps won't be easy at all, but they will be much more pleasant when the 2 leaders talk about a bilateral corporation. in fact, the vitamin potent did say that russian is railey trade, grew by 50 percent in the 1st 7 months of 2021. despite the pandemic, then surely, they will be discussing ways to deal with the pandemic. possibly even the recognition and the use of russian made sport big b in israel. that's the news for this. our stay tuned for more in just about 30 minutes. mm hm rushes strategic patients.
