ah, ah, this are a whistle blow reports in the british medical journal claims. there were serious flaws and the testing of phases cobit vaccine for us. authorities have been reluctant, apparently, to investigate them. a report coming up an unprecedented new lo relations between france and australia. take a further plunge of to the lake of a text message from president micron about that submarine deal that was cancelled between the 2 countries. and despite hosting the u. n's climate summit seems to you case own green pledges come under scrutiny as 40 fossil fuel projects look to get approval. we speak in fact, to local residents anxious for one of them to get the go ahead to step forward. really for technology and everything else. the mind should go ahead and take some

money to get to your, the prototypes that are coming in as well, to assist and also educate the kids in a very deprived area of a u. k. ah, oh, hello. live from ortiz world is age q here in moscow this wednesday afternoon. welcome to the program, kevin over here for the next 30 minutes, just about with our latest volume. first. the british medical journal on, has mentioned, has published a whistle blow report, claiming there was serious flaws in phases cobra vaccine trials. last year, the research behind the claim says she was fired the same day. she raised her concerns and further, she claims the us authorities a refusing to investigate this, get more on it now from egos dental. so all these revelations, they have been published at the british medical journal, a very respected science paper. not some tabloid that has a history or well is known for publishing some unverified information. and so that

article it details the allegations of a whistle blow of a woman who used to be part used to be with a contractor with a company called the entire via. so what does this vin tarver your firm has anything to do with the pfizer and it's vaccine you might ask? so it all goes back to the 3rd phase of clinical trials on the vaccine. some might argue that it's the most important phase. so pfizer to do the these trials, it hired a number of firms and a number of contractors. and so these contractor companies, they were responsible for the, for the trials in total phases. vaccine was tested on more than 40000 subjects. in fact, the numbers closer to 44000 and this vin 12, your firm was responsible to conducting trials on about a 1000 of people. and so this whistleblower,

she claims that she has observed some negligence. some are well, some violations during those trials. for example, according to the allegations, participants were placed in a hallway after that receiving the job. so instead of getting proper medical attention, they were somewhere in the hallway. on top of that, she's accused batavia of a lack of timely follow up on patients who showed some severe symptoms which could be interpreted as well. side effects of the vaccine that they're using. the word or the british medical journal is using the word adverse events in relation to the symptoms to these will potential side effects also protocol deviations. we're not being reported according to the allegations. the vaccines were apparently not stored at proper temperatures, and this is crucial for 5 for the 5 the vaccine. because, well, it has to be stored a very particular temperature, a very low temperature. and this is something that makes the transportation of this vaccine, particularly challenging. also on the whistleblower reported mislabeled laboratory

specimens and apparently vent avia targeted those members of staff who will try to blow the whistle and try to bring to light these are, these discrepancies are these instances and or. 2 the whistleblower saying that she was victim over such targeting that she was fired after she tried to bring to light these allegations. so when, according to her, the company or when these allegations 1st fell on deaf ears or within the company, she assembled them. she put them together and sent them all to the da, the u. s. agency, a governmental body responsible for giving the approval for the emergency use of vaccine. and this is the response she got herbalists. within hours, jackson received an e mail from the if da, thanking her for her concerns, and notifying her that the f. d. a could not comment on any investigation that might result. a few days later, jackson received a call from an f da inspector to discuss her report,

but was told that no further information could be provided. she heard nothing further in relation to her report. well, given what we've just heard, it could have been world seen as an optimistic sign for this whistle blower. you know, company the, or rather the of d a getting back to her the very same day. and obviously she comes across as a very concerned person, and on top of that, all of this happened in september last year, which is important because that's before 5, the phases vaccine got the approval of the, of the a so well. so the only logical assumption that could be is that the of da will look into these claims, address them and well make a decision whether or not they were important our bud in december, same year who the price of vaccine guard our guard, the well it, it was recognized, it was recommended for emergency use by the f d 8. and the of the a did not address any of the allegations have listened to the are to, apart from the article in the british medical journal. info as briefing documents

submitted to an f d, a advisory committee meeting held on the 10th of december 2020, to discuss fries as application for emergency youth authorization of its cove at night in vaccine. the company made no mention of problems at the vent, obvious site. the next day the fda issued the authorization of the vaccine. while i guess the only the only logical outtake from the story would be listened to your doctor before. well, you know, putting anything in your body. we spoke to ready, university microbiologist, doctor simon clark about it, who's concerned the allegations could lower the public trust in the vaccine. then the problem potential problem with, with the out this article in the british medical journal, is that it will affects all, could affect public confidence in the vaccines. when really should a mistake to happen. i but it's important to, to, to acknowledge that when you know a mistake is happened, you reports it new, acknowledge it, and deal with it. this could happen with any that said,

not just relaxing. people should remember that many, many millions of people around the world have this vaccine. and it's effective alex . we also reached out to pfizer, intel here on the f d a to comment on the allegations so far i can tell you, none of them responded. no next, another big story relation to taking a further down term between australian france. it comes off for a personal text message discussing the french australian submarine agreement the august thing and attributed to president micron as well. most importantly, was leaked to the press. france no says the whole thing is a stab in the back that the seat was intentional. and because there was far more at stake than providing submarines because it was a common agreement on sovereignty. sealed was a transmission of highly classified debtors. the way it was ended was plainly as

that in the back while as the situation that's really gone from bad to nuclear france in australia. i've been pretty much at each other's throats since september after australia announced that it was pulling the plug on that deal a deal at france described as being the deal, the sale of a century to build this fleet of submarines at now at the time france said that when a stranger announced that in fact when it was doing is up pursuing a new deal with the us with the u. k. and canada that it had been completely unaware of this in, at, essentially had the, the rug pulled from underneath it. even just a few days ago, president micron had suggested that the australian prime minister scott morrison had lied to him outright. i do see when, when we have recent, you have to be, do you have to behave in mine and consistently with i don't think i know statements that when my questioning astride is integrity um

and the sellers that have been placed on australia. i'm not going to call that on behalf of the strident i can deal with whatever people throw me, but astride it has a proud record or when it comes to our defense capability. now this is saying that people in glass houses shouldn't throw, shouldn't hurl rocks and australia is clearly fuming over those comments from president macro, which made directly to the press in english. now it's decided to come play at that game and apparently has released a text message that mack on sent to morrison just a few days before the ending of that deal was announced. now this text message suggests that president mack, on which means the eliza and the government did actually have an inkling that there was a problem with this deal and that it could be going under. if you thought things couldn't have gotten worse. well, you would be wrong because they clearly are unraveling at

a furious pace. at the moment that leak has seen paris pushed the red button with the french ambassador who had been briefly recalled from canberra as a result of this row. not mincing his words. seat is an unprecedented new law in terms of how to proceed and also in terms of truce and trust, you dont be able exists on personal exchanges of leaders were allies but babies gesture confirmation that we were never seen as an ally. france is clearly a ghast about this situation. the idea that there could be a leak of messages sent from one leader of a nation to another, has completely baffled, shocked and disgusted officials here. and it looks like this issue between france

and australia could about to be causing even bigger problems for strayer, we know that the country is due to have trade talks with the european union. they've already been postponed as a result of this route. if those talks do go ahead, i guarantee you that there will be a new rift, and that time it will be between france and brussels. promises to protect the earth forests. ambitious goals of net 0 by 2050, and giving cash to south africa to help it and its reliance on coal. yeoman's climate summit in scotland this week up to its pledge to save the planet with britain's prime minister boris johnson. taking the lead. although all that said, the u. k. does not currently appear to be holding back on it particular fossil fuel projects. hey, some point a recent report reveals that around 40 plans are seeking approval in the u. k. at the moment, over the next 4 years, which if approved,

would nearly triple the country's yearly greenhouse gas emissions. meantime, as an ongoing dispute to over a proposed new coal mine in the north west of england. and while forest johnson doesn't support it, he insists it's not his job to get involved. he says locals, there though. say it is desperately needed. the mind should go ahead. it will be mined in the safest, cleanest grayness where it come constantly, please don't. plans of being explored for the 1st coal mine to be opened in the u. k. in 30 years here in the coastal town of white haven in northwest england. just a 140 miles north from here. the cop $26.00 summit in glasgow is in full swing. the u. k is of course, hosting that summit that critics say it sends out the completely wrong message for the hosts to be giving the green light to this coal mine. while at the same time preaching the green message to the rest of the world, the u. k. government has decided not to intervene with the plans of opening and brand new english coal mine. this really shows the true meaning of so called net

02050. these vague insufficient targets long into the future basically mean nothing to day, but contrary to what some make spect given phase as a potential air pollution, the locals are quite happy to have it. many of them think it could spark a much needed economic revival to step forward, really for technology and everything else is failing to produce your mining area. and i know for many, many years now was all gone. returning jobs, indiana is next in line until it's here, the prototype sort of coming in as well to assist and also educate to the kids in a very deprived area of the okay. and that's what's needed to drive the future to drive education and support the kids. a local campaign is in support of the mind, say that coaching coal, which is used to manufacture steel rather than generate energy, is being unfairly maligned by green activists. this is just an older piece to the puzzle. got as green, green glee we, we are an environmental area. we understand what the problems are. well,

there's no denial. if there's an issue that is a problem. we've got nuclear, we've got winds, we've got a high job that will be common to someplace in the future. and thankfully, if we get this, my going as a will be say him a coca cola from over there. so the transport it from america, which is couldn't, we've all been served on to think that john cutty seldom is that we shouldn't open him. i went by in all the cold of him. it's a bit hypocritical west cumbria mining. the company in charge argues that the project will be the world's 1st net 0 metallurgical coal mine in the world. ministers of argued in favor of the project from an economic perspective, as well as an environmental one to is a very small, as i understand quite specialist, a form of coal that's being that would be produced there on will have a negligible impact ons of the global coal usage, we need to transition our existent oil and gas sector to a d carbon ice platform. what others want to see is

a complete eclipse and shutting down of oil and gas with 250000 jobs vanishing overnight. the u. k. government on the pressure from climate groups intervened and ordered an inquiry by a planning inspector local may refutes any objections. however, saying coaching call from the mind would drive forward green energy project. he also insists that the project will revive the local economy off the curve. it ma'am, i think you've got to look at the united kingdom as a whole and we're responsible for just all the one percent of the entire world, carbon emissions on this. mine will finish one small from north point one percent of that one percent. the mine will have a huge positive economic impact on the, on the area, etc. i chuckled meant investment. this is private money coming in. are you talking 160000000 pound into, to watch a relatively small community that will create 500 direct jobs that have with the spin off of 1500 supply chain jobs that will transform people's lives in this area

to inquire results the jew at the end of the year, well after the climate debate has moved elsewhere for, as johnson said at cop $26.00, that he didn't support the opening of the mind. that he would leave it to the planning committees to decide an indication perhaps of his own desire to not get dragged into a row with the local community desperate for the area once again to see economic regeneration. the sally ought see in white haven cumbria is folks environmental jealous my whether the british government sticking to its pledge to drop fossil fuels or not? you cake presidency of copies seriously undermined by the government's own actions in the united kingdom. government has agreed that it will not fund new fossil fuels by itself. however, dean united kingdom's financial industry and the financial industry globally, will i be able to continue to invest in fossil fuels, investments by the united kingdom in global fossil fuels,

amounts to 15 percent of global investments. and that's where the united kingdom record is really terrible. in that it's a center for global finance for fossil fuels. so this is a disaster for credibility of the presidency of the, of the top. you without international kevin, i when he is still the come, the sour california judge dismisses claims that big pharma companies contributed to the epidemic of prescription drug abuse in the state. we got much more to come on that after the break awe long and wrong. i just don't want you to see out the scene because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds

apart, we choose to look for common ground. hello, driven by drink shaped bankers and those with airs. sinks. we dare to ask oh, my good news. next is the weekly medical journal. land sits published a study revealing that russia's one shot sputnik light cobit vaccine has proved to

be safe and highly effective. let's get more in our correspond. jenny armstrong's got the details. hi, danny. a small positive evaluations for a russian vaccine. then what came out about the sputnik like trolling? well, that's right, just as you say, kevin lots of positive reports. this is a report published in the lansing of course, one of the world leading and most respected medical journals. the report itself has come from the russian develop, sorry, the direct investment fund. those are the creators of the sputnik v vaccine themselves. of course, the 1st worldwide vaccine against coley, but this report is it is about sport nick right now. that might sound familiar and that's because it is equivalent to the 1st component of that sport. nick v vaccine was buttoning, v is a to those vaccines, pointing light will be a single dose. now, it's been developed to tackle the rising willed demand for license coal with vaccines, especially in those countries with a deficit of vaccines. now there's 2 very important things to take away from this

report. and the 1st is that the sputnik lie as a high safety profile. and the 2nd is the adverse reactions to the vaccine. either mild or moderate around 66 percent from mild adverse reactions to the vaccine around 5.5 percent. at 4 moderate. now officially sputnik light was developed to find a vaccine that was an immune high immune genic vaccine was also cost effective and logistically sound to produce. now it seems to take all those boxes so far. but just for more details on the science, we can hear that report the composition of student clyde vaccine is equal to the 1st component of 2 dose picnic re vaccine, for which safety and immunity misty. we're assess a number of completed and ongoing clinical trials now. so what does all this mean? well, sputnik light can be administered as a single job job as a stand alone vaccine or

a booster. and it's shown effectiveness in both of those roles against the delta vary and is shown a 70 percent effectiveness against infection. and that number is a little bit higher on 75 percent effectiveness in individuals on that 65. now, when combined with all the vaccines such as the astrazeneca vaccine, it is also shown a high efficiency. but when administered as a booster shot against the delta vary and 83 percent effective against infection and a little bit high at 94 percent effective against hospitalization. now, aside from all those figures, the bottom line is the sputnik light vaccine, according to their support in the lancet, and by the russian direct investment fund is the it can accelerate the pace of vaccination in russia. and of course, in those countries that have that have a deficit for those coven vaccines. i've got you down. it's really good news has put no light in so many people around the world are crying out for it. they do want

to get the hands on it so on would not would because there's a big fight yet to go regarding covert, isn't it, danny? i'm strong for now. thank you for the update. so next, a climate of fear. that's the chilling description of life inside the u. k. the national broadcast, the, the b, b. c. from the latest investigation by the newspaper, the daily mail. it spoke to several employees including a former senior bbc manager. they say the doing journalism is a challenge these days when you have to look over your shoulder with fighting our own culture wall in the corporation. you live with the realization that if i put a foot wrong, the mob will descend. that is a huge level of fear within the organization with people thinking that going to be the next to get monster. when a saw off come the broadcasting regulatory body, they're afraid of 5 internal stars networks. he filled the holden to the climate of whoopin. as i'm getting the p. c valid rights. not only a story is being changed or adapted,

but sama partly even being dropped. but why does it leave the state forecast as journalism? hern free presses a hall? this is a night man will and very, very bodily for the bbc. literally there are people who think we should stop bunning words. they don't lie compelling viewpoints. they don't like. there are lots of things we hear in journalism that we don't agree with. that's the whole bloody point, isn't it? while the baby see says it's editors have a responsibility to think diversity of opinion. it's a slippery site for some janice who fear this so called mob rule if they got it wrong. take last month example where it publish an article, suggesting a handful of lesbians felt pressured into sex by some trans women. well, 20000 people signed an open letter calling on the bdc to apologize dubbing it trans phobic and poorly evidenced was to be received most all was the b, b, c, misrepresenting the facts. well, the v b c journalist behind the very story apparently had to fight like hell against and

turn the opposition to get it published. or surely they must have seen something coming, but have editorial lines to come so blurred. now that the beef may ends up like the new york times, with some even quitting the channel for goods. stories had chosen untold in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences. rather than to allow a curious public to read about the word and then draw their own conclusions. my own forays into wrong saying have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views. they have called me a nazi and a racist tennis, of course, haven't seen till to be impartial, sensitive and respectful. but when it comes to identity politics, the cultural war means whatever, turn the say or do they also can't get it right. as they will always offend someone somewhere. we discuss a situation with u. k. journalist, bro, cassidy, o'clock. he says the purpose of journalism is always been to show all sides of the story, not just the pleasing one my job as a reporter,

easter basically park away to one side, my political views, my views, social hughes, whatever and report what is happening and report the story, and in that case, you have to make sure that both sides are given. you see both sides of it. you get your wide range of opinions when you put it together, all your or your documentary together. and i think that distinctions been lost and that's the problem with this ultra woken us is that there are these issues where there is no consensus. a lot of the time. it's almost like it's a case now. well, no, you can't have that. a thing that's outside the parameters, things of train, britain's changed and you shouldn't have to reflect that, that we really need to have put, you know, the, the widest possible opinions out there. and not seek to, to sort of restrict our coverage, basically only taking only taking the one time in a victory for drug companies. a california judge now was ruled of, for manufacturers can't be held responsible for the states opioid crisis. he says

there's no evidence the rise and prescriptions was done to misleading marketing. and it's thought the ruling could now set a precedent for similar cases. in other states. we got the thoughts of god called jake bradshaw, who became addicted to the pills. he was prescribed it sets a very dangerous precedent, and more importantly it's, it's sad. this is, this is becoming a in america, very common knowledge that companies like purdue pharma, sat around the board room table and made a decision to target a blue collar areas in america, areas like southern ohio, eastern kentucky, west virginia. because they knew that their new powerful prescription opioid it would flourish there the cases, the 1st of a drug company is one over $3000.00 low suits. it's filed over a crisis that was claimed the lives of half a 1000000 people in the u. s. and 20 is the previous administration declared,

a nationwide emergency of the number of deaths from an opioid overdose were 6 times in the united states. in 2020 a lot more than 9000000 people were victims. opioid misuse, including teenagers and adults. the majority of which were prescribed medicine, mostly pain relievers. jack bradshaw told us the court ruling least the vulnerable with no justice. i can remember being 1718 years old and having a very minor injury. and you know, being prescribed 40 milligrams of oxy gotten for injuries like that there's and i don't think there is a government or a doctor or any medical professional who would call that reasonable. we've got millions of people whose lives have been affected by this. here we are years later knowing what we know, and we're still unable in courts to provide these families with, with some kind of justice for loved ones that they've lost or loved ones that are still struggling. it's a, it's, it's, it's a travesty. you'll find mortal stores. we talked about to hear this last off outs.

he told, call me have your say as well to any vote social's, but as 20 minutes post to the afternoon. moscow time, kevin and reporting, thanks for watching this update. stop by fuel next. programs and your part of the world here after the break. ah, join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then l look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such orders at conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our professional intelligence at the point, obviously is to trace truck rather than fear.

a very job with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with with edge of state, aspire to use, luxury cars produced in their home countries. it's an unspoken rule for all official events. and everyone's abided by for a very long time. the head of states car isn't only a symbol of the nation's prosperity. it's a matter of national prestige. ah, joe biden uses the so called cadillac one limousine,

nicknamed the beast. it is an arm and bony and weighs 10 tons. boris johnson gets driven about in a jakya queen elizabeth rides in a bentley. angela merkle was car choices in the audi. while a french anita emmanuel macro uses a converted citron diaz, 7 mm. in russia, this close of car was discontinued more than 20 years ago. i took 5 years to close the gap on the world car industry from the drawing board to the 1st finished model . meet horace, russian. go, ah, heads of states vehicles have always been a matter of the highest national priority. the 1st luxury car used by a russian emperor nicholas the 2nd was the french dylan, a bellville.
