with blue. oh, with the top stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. welcome to the weekly rti, i'm human o'neil. iraq's interior ministry house condemn while they it's called a terrorist attack against the prime minister early on sunday. miss stuffer alca demi's residence in the capital of baghdad was bombed by drones, although he was on armed ortiz policy or can pick up the story from there. well, the, i'm gonna send the balcony escape destination. attend on his life, emilio, as of sunday morning. what we're hearing from the iraqi military is that a number of drones, lowden with explosives struck the residential palace,

which is inside baghdad. the green zone and a feast 7 security guards were injured in that attack. immediately following that, the prime minister took to his feet in which he urged full a strain and palm. he then appeared on state television in which he reassured that iraqi population cowardly rockets had dried attacks, don't build homelands and don't build a future. we work towards building a countries to respect to the states and its institutions and building a better future for all iraqis. we call again for carbon constructive dialogue for iraq and the feature of iraq as a heck no one has came to sponsibility for this attempted assassination. we haven't heard from heavily armed leaders who are affiliated with iran backed militias and they have been protesting. the results of the general parliamentary election was held on the 10th of last month in which they had

a very push showing this supporters have taken to the states to demonstrate. and this past friday, those demonstrations turned violent where the protest started pelting the police walks and stones, and the police is funded with guests and stun grenade. at least one person was killed in those tests. ah, some of the need is the most powerful, malicious actions had come forward, an opening blame the prime minister for way handles these classes the representatives and spokesperson for a broad coalition of po iranian she, of course, he has suggested that this attempted assassination attack is actually

a false flag by the prime minister to try and divert attention away from the way his government handled those protests. the prime minister has ordered a clothes into the caches and at the same time, he has also to compensation to the victims. now we have started receiving international reaction to the attempt assassination this morning. we have heard from some kenny, who is the secretary of the red national security council, and he has condemned via text saying that it can be traced back to foreign interference. he says that foreign is to be blamed for insecurity discord and instability in the country that has seen foreign news of support, both terrorist organization and the occupation of iraq. at the same time, the united states has weighed in, they condemned the incident. they also offered assistance in the investigation. the u. s. the course is busy with doing, excuse me, one,

and has the deadline by the end of this year by which to finish doing this. we are following the reported drone attack, this apparent act of terrorism, which was strongly condemn, was directed to the heart of the rock estate. our commitment to our iraqi partners is unshakable. the united states sense with the government and people of iraq. kristen colton, that he's come to that particular the now and mid the he with feet with full. and that is why washington is watching events so carefully. the united states was among the 1st countries to praise the results of last month election. of course, they will be particularly concerned and how things are developing their another story we are across today assures in the german company by on tech, joint developer of the pfizer co vaccine half lunged 20 percent. it follows several setbacks, including a whistleblowers report in the british medical journal, pointing to serious flaws in last year's vaccine trials. ortiz ilia. katrinka can

tell us more how many people do you know who are sick and tired of daily debates about vaccine safety? well, i know quite a few and you know, what really gets me fired up about these conversations. quite often, those who do most of the talking have next to 0 expertise in the relevant science concerning medical trials for example. but what about when those who really do know better south the alarm over possible issues? earlier this week, one respected medical journal published an investigation in which you could read things like this. one employee said she had worked on over 4 dozen clinical trials in her career, but that never experienced such a healthy skill to work environment. as we've been tabi on pfizer trial, i don't think it was good clean data. the employee said of the dates of ins. harvey generated for the pfizer trial. it's a crazy mess. those are some pretty serious concerns. but let me give you the full

picture. these were comments that the journal received anonymously from former employees of one of the firm's tasks with carrying out the pfizer vaccine trial van ta via the authors got in touch with them while investigating the claims of a whistleblower who'd worked for entirety a for a couple of weeks before being fired, supposedly in connection with sounding the alarm over quite a list of issues, including things like this. with the whistle, dora provided the journal with internal company documents, photos, and audio recordings to back up her concerns. i do have to say though, we've not seen them in the article or received access some other way. and obviously

it wasn't up to was to supervise an american contractor on a pivotal trial of one of the world's most widely known jobs. the question is, did the u. s. government agency in charge the food and drug administration know about any of that. within ours, jackson received an email from the sta, thanking her for the concerns and notifying her da da da could not come in on any investigation that might result. a few days later, jackson received a call from an sta in spencer to discuss her reports, but was told that no further information could be provided. she had nothing further in relation to her report. the right people apparently did no, or at least were notified that lead to any oversight of the company by the regulator. the answer is no. on the contrary, the watchdog was instead quick to greenlight, pfizer for emergency use in america. in 5 as briefing document submitted to an adviser committee meeting held on the 10th of december 2020. the company made no

mention of problems of defense obvious sites. the next day the issued the emergency use authorization of the vaccine. a few more details that right disconcert a summary of f, the a inspections of pfizer vaccine trial sites said that 9 of 153 had been inspected. but none of those had been operated by vent avia and no expection had been conducted at all in the 8 months between the emergency authorise zation and the full approval. pfizer has since hired been toby up as a research subcontractor to work on for other clinical trials, the use of the coven vaccine, and children and young adults. a cobit 19 trial involving pregnant woman and a trial of covet 19 booster doses. this is a global pandemic, and in a global pandemic, we have a duty. this is the important bed. we have

a duty. we have an i must duty to look after other nations. it is a clear example of we look after ourselves in the 1st instance. and we are not very interested in the welfare, the well being, the recovery of other countries of cause profit is the biggest motive here. and it is an example of protecting their financial prospects in the future. okay. not an expert. and maybe the trials were actually properly conducted. maybe someone was just not a big fan of the u. s. pharmaceutical giant. but what i want to be confident about is that someone competent, whose job is to have these trials under control actually does his or her job to the fall. or at least mentions reports on possible red flags. so we contacted pfizer and vent off here for comment on the claims as well as posting further questions for the us food and drug administration. they haven't responded to our

queries as yet dr. ron gt bar. a consultant physician for britons and a chest thinks vaccine development, how's fallen victim to corporate greed? by the has full maybe on women's the 1st time that they've been found to be acting in a way in which you can really say that their commercial interests is compromising bay clinical and research objectivity and judgment. what this really shows that it's been developed above the acceptable speed of science, or they, they, of course, that of a applied and more people to the trolley kind of adequate staff around the trial. and appropriate wayne is a constant commercial pressure, even with the sub contractor to make profit. so to have fewer staff and generate results more quickly and cut corners. in this way, commercial interest is pressuring and, you know, what would be the best way to treat the pandemic. and the best way to develop the drug. not sizes of protesters gathered in the german city of leipzig on saturday to oppose the government's latest cobit restrictions on. there's

a few as well as scuffles broke out to us. police moved in to disperse the cries. several people are injured. we know at least 20 protesters as well were arrested the backdrop to all this record infection numbers in germany. in fact, it's now in the top 5 countries. for daily cases. the latest wave is taking a toll on hospitals. the number of patients in intensive care house surge by a quarter in recent days. one doctor in nuremberg say the healthcare system being pushed to the brink of over us. the situation is very tense. all the beds are full . we're still trying to take care of the urgent cases as best we can on the one hand retreat many cobra patients. but we also have to provide the rest of the medical care that is normally done. hospitals all reach to the limits, especially the larger hospitals that kind of for the most severe patients, both with and without cove, it for medical stuff, we're now in the 4th wave. annette is a huge burden, whatever. and right now, several german regions are preparing hard heading new measures. they're europe

correspondent, peter oliver. can expand on that coven figures in germany do not make for good reading as the feared. 4th wave is very low to whistles. if we do not act this 4th wave will again bring a great deal of suffering. many people will fall seriously ill and die, and the health services will be under extreme pressure again. around 67 percent of the german population is fully vaccinated, but the numbers coming forward has plateaued in recent months. prompting politicians to fear that a new type of pandemic could be upon us. we are currently experiencing a pandemic of the unvaccinated, which is massive. there would be fewer karone of ours patients on intensive care units. if more people would let themselves be vaccinated. the big worry now is that those people who haven't gone for a vaccination have no intention of doing so. and that may well lead to more

restrictions on what people who haven't being jumped can do. if the pandemic situation in hospitals worsens than further restrictions for unvaccinated people are possible, some of germany, 16 states aunt waiting for a federal decision to be made. and i've already put in place new measures imp, a very, a mask wearing will be mandated in schools. in the state of hassan, there's going to be a new testing system put in place for those. going to visit hospitals, old care homes, and in the state of bottom voting book, where you're going to need to show a p c r test if your room vaccinated and want to go to a bar, a restaurant, or theater. german business leaders want the government to give them the rights to impose the so called 3 g system. that means that anybody who is in vaccinated recovered or tested could be bod, from employment. some of germany's biggest companies of already brought in controversial canteen segregation. employees who, being double jobs,

can sit together and eats as normal. those who have nots or choose not to reveal their vaccine. status must remain in a cordoned off area where masks have to be worn when not eating. chemical giant via told r t. they may even take this further depending on specific facility needs a separate to g area is also create at which offers immunized to employees a space with less distance to each other on a volunteer basis. this will be planned in close corporation with work to represent tapes and site management. in the uncontrolled areas of the can seen the distance root of 2 meters from each other continues to exist and individual seating is offered. all the big names in the german business world say they're reviewing the situation. goods some company say this just isn't the way forward. in the contains as of today now distinction is made between and vaccinated and vaccinated are recovered. employees. currently we're not consider in separate contin areas. we

treat everyone equally with germany posting record daily cove at case numbers, politicians, business leaders, and health care professionals all agree that something has to be done and all bracing for things to potentially get worse. over the coming winter months, peter, all of a hearty, berlin, and other story that's got a lot of people talking to a judges in canada rule that a comedian who joked about a disabled teenage singer did not breach the youngsters rights to dignity. comic mike ward hale, the decision by the supreme court as part of a growing backlash against counsel culture. i'm like, oh, j i one. this is a vess. i'm so happy. i think this is a good sign for comedy. i think this means the pendulum is about to swing the other way. comedians are going to be able to keep on doing jokes. i would want

to tell him about how i fell. when i 1st heard that they yelled as a 13 years old to chance. think about gang because a 40 year old men say so that you should guy. well, singer jeremy gabrielle who is 24, was born with a congenital disorder about causes scull abnormalities. he found fame in 2006 and even performed for benedict. some years later, mike ward begun mentioning gabriel's disability and his performances and defended his act by saying every subject can and should be joked about. what gabriel's from li, filed a human rights complaint, but candidates highest court said the singer was targeted not because of his disability, but because of his fame, while mister ward receive support from the company world. others still believe us jokes must face the consequences. we had a lively conversation about it here on our tea with a puddle of guest. you know, i,

i agree with the court's conclusion. i mean that they acknowledge said that this was a nasty thing that was said. but you know, it doesn't go as far as to, you know, have a legal financial consequences for this person. when mister ward comes to your town, you have the option to not buy a ticket. you can ignore his podcast. you have the right to do all those things, but should he be prosecuted in a court of law that takes it a bridge way too far. in my opinion, we have to sink about. he was a child, he was 13 years old. and i truly believe we should safeguard our children more because especially in this case he was not only a child, but he was and he still is disable. so you know, the must be a stall between hatred and comedy between violence, you know, and free speech. god to charge in and find a guy tens of thousands of dollars for a joke, comedy and joking. and freedom of speech is

a human right. when did this change? this is nuts to me. and you know, i have to disagree with the, the woman who spoke before, but this, he was not making fun of his disability. he was primarily making fun of people who thought the kid was so weak that you couldn't comment and make fun of his singing is still alive. he the only thing that from what is it looks a little different. and he, you know, he has to wear a hearing aid. we shouldn't be treating people like so differently. i mean, you have some respect for the guy. he's not some weakling that you need to defend like this. first of all, he was violence. verbal violence towards a child that was 13 years old and disabled child. i don't care if it wasn't a dress in his disability. he was suicidal after that. and you can be free to say whatever you want and be buying renting every way you want in that and you know,

in your job, i'm going to pronounce each to my, to, to my disable. you know, employee like that. i would go to court to because doubt consequences for every one of us. but what we do in our life, okay, it's not only speech is an action, no one saying there should be consequences. but the argument is, the consequence should not be you being by tens of thousands of dollars and not be a lot of centrally not allowed to criticize someone. well, i just want to say this in response to that, a lot of comedians and, and i would like to think i'm one of them. it is possible for us to have 2 thoughts in our head at the same time. thought number one, that's a joke that a lot of us would never make. i personally would never make a joke like that. that's me. but another thought that i am also able to have in my head at the same time is i can see the dangerous slippery slope of having legal consequences for someone who chooses to make such a joke. even if i find it incredibly poor taste. and you know, free speech is just her virtue that i think it's very important and without it i

certainly wouldn't have a job. this is r t so ahead the u. s. military and says, said didn't break any laws and an august drone strike that killed 10 civilians including 7 children and couple more on that blue ah, join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world politics school business. i'm show business, i'll see you then. mm. ah, ah, ah, ah,

ah, ah ah, ah ah ah hello again. the u. s. military has concluded bella botch drones strike in afghanistan in august was not unlawful, and showed no sign of negligence. dots despite the strike killing 10 civilians

including 7 children, and not a single terrorist. u. s. her force inspector general announced the probes findings . the investigation found no violation of law including the law of war. did find execution errors confirmed by confir may or are combined with confirmation bias and communication breaks. the breakdowns that regrettably lead to civilian casualties. the cowboy draw an attack was one of the final acts of the u. s. war and afghan, the stun, the pentagon. at 1st claimed it had taken out an imminent threat and didn't appear to involve any civilian casualties. blue moon. ah, the u. s. or force inspector general said his report on the strike will remain

classified because it contains details about the military's or strike tactics. but the associated press news agency reported the pentagon fun no mistakes after an independent review by the nellis is also recommended that the military improve its procedures to ensure civilians aren't present before launching a strike. we spoke to former united nations weapons inspector in iraq. scott ritter . he believes there was no justification for the drone strike in a heavily populated area. there is nothing but negligence here from the beginning when they identified or miss identified the target to the end when the decision was made to pull the trigger. i can't see a single legitimate reason to go forward, and yet everybody did go forward. and if they're not being honest about it and saying that mistakes are made, this is going to happen again. this isn't the 1st time we fired a missile as killed civilians. it isn't the 2nd time, 3rd time,

fort time. it's the hundreds time. and the, the reality is the united states as known for some time now that the procedures it has in place. it carry out counterterrorism strikes in a real world, you know, real time an event are not sufficient to the task that we kill civilians. and yet we went forward in ways of because there was political pressure being placed on the military to be seen as doing something. something else we want to tell you about ted, a kenya has reopened a criminal probe into the horrific murder of a woman, allegedly, by a british soldier. the single mother was beaten, stubbed and thumped in a septic tank back in 2012. her family believed the details of the case were hush them lead you the hello johnny. we recently learned that is the british army vault because there were a lot of cover out today. but we are glad that now think of being brought to light my wishes, the culprit to face the law because i had to bear burden that wasn't mine. i had my

own children to take care of. though i was not employed, it has been a real struggle with the family of agnes when terror, when jacko. a canyon woman allegedly killed by a british soldier, is crying foul as they are yet to receive justice. almost 10 years after her death . when jack, who was a 21 year old sex walker, any money to feed her newborn baby when she was reported missing in march of 2012, 2 months later her body was found in a hotel septic tank near to where british soldiers had been stationed though it's been revealed that a british soldier named only a soldier acts confessed to killing her, but a little i feel so sad as those in positions to help us that took so long. recently, when the me des started aaron, the story top and old wounds, see that it's like agnes has just died. it has it been affected? her daughter, but we had to let her know what is going on. i pray that god crossed the british government the wisdom to handle this case. well, when i think of agnes,

i remember how happy she was and she loved to sing it. she taught my youngest daughter how to sing. the person who killed agnes should face the law or because the charge was orphaned, has suffered a lot of bearing in mind. she was just both man sold her very even feeding at the time was difficult. according to the u. k. defense ministry. it will continue offering the support to the canyon investigation. the u. k. stands ready to support all requests says we have done since day one. as with other investigations, we always work in partnership with the kenyan police and subject to international and judicial processes. our help will always be forthcoming will activists in kenya, a calling for the extradition of the alleged killer to be held accountable. while the labor party here in the united kingdom say, the 9 year old deal without an investigation even being can sit, has denied the family justice. there's been no minister defense lead investigation of the sold is involved a no inquiring to why the minister defense failed to respond. when kenyan detectives asked for help,

9 years on justice must now be done for agnes and her family. revelations of the tragic death of when jacka continued to become more sinister, it's been reported that a group of 9 british soldiers joked about, had dazzled social media several years later. the family now hope this fresh investigation will give them that answers they so desperately need to her. i feel a lot of pain when i remember agnes. we brought her up well and just as she was settling down her life was taken away, leaving us defense for her young child. it's my hope that this child will get justice. it's been 10 years, but we hope to finally get justice this case strikes right at the heart of alleged exploitation killings and cover ups in the british army. in fact, the very same defense secretary assisting this probe into an jacko's death officially closed at stores on investigations and to more than a 1000 allegations of abuse by british soldiers in iraq. so with no prosecutions there will this mean justice may never be saved for angus. when jerry, when jack,

who and her family chateau edward sashay r t london without is or a selection of some of the stories that made headlines this week here on our t t. i'll be back with more and 30 hope to catch you, then to make another one and go through. i'm john that a little about money laundering person. this is getting to 3 different. oh good. this is a good start. well, we have our 3 banks all set up here, maybe a company in europe, something in america, something overseas in the came and i want to know all these bankers complicit in their club. parkerson. this up would be a much oh good. hey, i'm ready to do some serious. no wonder. okay, let's see how we did. wow, we've got, oh, we got a nice law group was for max and for stacy. oh, beautiful jewelry. and how about ha ha. luxury automobile again for mag?
