[000:00:00;00] a the us food and drug administration fights a freedom of information request in court, asking that it be given 55 years to fully release redacted documents related to the approval of pfizer is coded 19 vaccine. also this our u. s. cord flag. it's a door is shut down to an american tv station after one of their freelance journalist was caught allegedly stalking a bus full of jurors in the high profile case of cow rittenhouse. well, if they didn't want to cooperate with us, find they don't have to. it isn't something we want to. anyway. vladimir put in takes a swipe at the military activities of washington and nato in a fiery foreign policy speech.

ah, broadcasting live direct from our studios and moscow. this is art international. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. right now, more than half a century. that is how long america's drugs watchdog wants to sit on redacted documents on pfizer cove at vaccine. they relate to the labs, approval of the sta and by the fda, and have been requested by a group of medics under freedom of information. but the fda is resisting ortiz caleb shopping reports. we have a situation here where because there has been a freedom of information act request filed for the information about how the vaccines were approved. we have the us food and drug administration stepping forward and proposing to release $500.00 pages per month of the remaining

$329000.00 pages. that would take roughly 55 years 55 years for this information to be made available. now the organization that filed the, the request public health and medical professionals for transparency. they say that's ridiculous. they also pointed out that it took the f d a 4 months to approve the vaccine based on the same number of pages. this is what they said, this 100 a day period is the same amount of time. it took the f d a to review the responsive documents for the far more intricate task of licensing finances cove in 1900 vaccine. it is difficult to imagine a greater need for transparency than immediate disclosure of the documents relied upon by the f d. a to license a product that is now being mandated over 100000000 americans. now at this point, the organization says that if that pace of $500.00 pages per month proceeds that makes the freedom of information,

act almost meaningless. and it discredits the food and drug administration promise to be transparent. the f. d. a knew the intense public interest in that data and information. it should have been preparing to release some tenuously with the licensure. instead, it has done the opposite. this case is not about the vaccine mandate, where the fines that can be held liable. this is a fire case where the only relevant issue at this stage in the litigation is setting a reasonable processing schedule. now it's important to note that one of the companies that was involved in the trial of the pfizer vaccine has recently faced a little bit of a scandal brought to light by a whistleblower. this article was published in the medical medical journal. now the report from last month in which we had a former clinical trial auditor for the pfizer coded vaccine raising deep concerns about patient safety and about data integrity. during the process, however, a spokesperson for ven tavia stepped up and said that this person did not speak

with the corporation before coming forward and discredits some of the other allegations that were published in the british medical journal. and this concern seems to have been discredited. so at the moment we have the law suit that was filed and we have these medical professionals saying they want this information. we expect us to be in court for some time, but at the moment the f. d a is offering to release $500.00 pages a month of the remaining $329000.00 pages, and that would take 55 years. over half a century. us tv channel has been banned from the device of trial of cal rittenhouse, that's after a reported freelancer from m. s. and b. c was caught, allegedly following a bus, carrying jurors a spokesperson for the channels sister network denied demand was trying to contact or photograph the jury or cheese john the hoodie spoke to us from outside the court in kenosha forwarding to commercial police. and also the judge, overseeing this case, bruce red or a, a possibly

a freelance producer with m s. n b c was pulled over in the vicinity of the jury van after it left the court house here last night. after day 2 of deliberations and the jury generally goes to an undisclosed location, a hotel, you know, other location for the night. and the person was pulled over suspected of following the jury van and even possibly taking pictures. and when, when confronted by police told police that they were in m s, n b c, producer under instructions from new york to follow this jury van now. and the thing is disconcerting itself, at least a statement saying it was a freelancer, was never given to me. assignment to do that, but bottom line here is that the judge is taking it very seriously and has bad now . and, and i said, be safe from further covering in the court the, the ongoing proceedings here is what the judge said, listen to the police when they stopped him because he was following at a distance of about a black and went through a red light,

pulled him over and inquired of them what was going on in the key that information . and to stated that he had been instructed by miss diane in new york to follow the jury bus. so whether or not this guy was death was following the jury van taking pictures remains to be seen. again, this is all kind of under the investigation under review. but if he was, i'll tell you this, that is not, that's a big no, no, as media, there are rules and regulations. we have to follow covering trials and cases in here in the united states. i'm sure overseas as well. but you know, here in the united states you never take pictures of the jury that's, that's rule number one and it's for the jury safety and also to protect the integrity crowd the trial. so if it be, and us nbc freelance, producer, producer, whatever was following the jury that that is, that's a really bad move and it looks, it makes all of us look bad frankly. so whether that affects the overall

proceedings results in this trial, probably not. again, it doesn't look like any pictures were posted online or went out of the jury, but it's a serious matter. it's being taken seriously. obviously, as you heard the judge say that said we're in day 3 of the deliberations in the car . rittenhouse homicide trial. he's facing fire charges, could most serious charge homicide murder in other states that would basically if again convicted, he would spend the rest of his life in prison. ah. 7 yesterday the jury asked to see very important drone video, which is at the center of the defense teams motion for a mistrial defense saying that they did not receive the same type of high resolution video that the prosecution had to it's on clate. a judge will declare miss trial based upon that, but it's the 2nd motion for a mistrial. the defense team has filed in the last week in regards to the case, a case that has really polarized many americans, those who support how are it now? say he was a hero, defending the property of businesses and homeowners during the riots here and protests in kenosha,

wisconsin back in august 2020. and those who say now he acted recklessly. he was a vigilante. we should have never been here with god. he was already adding to a volatile situation that ultimately turned deadly with him, shooting and killing 2 people and badly wounding a 3rd. russian foreign minister has lashed out at his western counterparts, accusing them of sabotaging the ukraine peace talks. so gay lab rob spoke out after he triggered a diplomatic spad by publishing his diplomatic correspondence with france and germany in connection with the ukraine crisis. ne, husky taylor spoke to my colleague daniel hawkins earlier about story. well, talk about pama take drama. on wednesday, the russian foreign ministry could say, broke with tradition, i'm published diplomatic correspondence between sub gala broth and his counterparts in both france and germany. we're talking $28.00 pages for foreign, exclusively to the ongoing conflict in east and ukraine. what do they show?

well, they show that moscow has consistently been supportive of the so called normandy full not now will remember. this is one representatives of 4 nations, ukraine, russia, germany, and france come together to end the hostilities. but why are these documents so significant? well, that's significant, because until now we've had on so many occasions, both from france and germany. these accusations that moscow is not just uncooperative, but it's actually trying to sabotage. and he talks in the normandy format. now in fact to any a few days ago, they went so far as to say that the russian foreign minister abroad had essentially flat out. she is to attend a plant meeting. now these to protect y is essentially show that that was not the case. it was a misunderstanding at best ally was in fact all parties had been formed that law had other obligations that day. but blocking the normandy format were quite the opposite. let's in fact take listen to nick except dear colleagues,

i would like to reaffirm the importance of continuing our joint mediation efforts within the framework of the normandy format to help resolve the conflict and east and ukraine. i believe that our possible meetings should be well prepared, including the early development of a detailed joint final statements with specific recommendations to ukraine and certain areas of done yeske and le ganske regions as parties to the conflict. now, when those words fit into power, some balloons concept of opposing a resolution to the conflict. i'm not quite sure. i think anyone can see that. instead, they show that moscow is willing to meet, but they want to meet in order to achieve actually something rather than meet just to sort of wave at the cameras. shake hands and appear to be doing something and speak you of france and germany obviously evolved. you nice talks as well, the response from person, but it was government, while the foreign ministry is in both france and germany have come out. and they've

said that this publication is a breach of diplomatic protocol, probably not to surprise. let's be honest. it's not a good look for either of them, since it really shows that they've both been quite loose with the truth. and i think it is precisely this looseness that really got moscow so frustrated that was willing to take the step in the fast pace, at least that's what number offset we've seen alluded. and we're just good the study. we're all human property. we've just had enough. but we won't lose hope. it's just that our colleagues acted without decency, when they made arrogance incorrect and unethical statements daily during the last 2 weeks or so a lot of accumulated, like i said, frustration all of these accusations being flung in its direction, especially when it comes to such a sensitive issue as a conflict that has so far claimed around $14000.00 lives. this time clearly, moscow felt that it was a step to fall. they had the proof right at that finger tips, and they released it in order to clear that name. finally,

set the record straight ahead pools that remains to be seen whether in the future. this will stop any similar misinterpretations or misrepresentations who are going to be generous of russia's intentions and behavior. meanwhile, vladimir putin has branded as provocative the military actions of us in the black sea, along with the expansion of nato near to russia's borders for the next years, ortiz dmitri polk. this address by present burton came with it during his meeting with foreign policy officials here in moscow. during this meeting, he basically discussed the political and economic landscape in which russia finds itself to day. and of course, the most pressing topic is relations between russia and the west nato, and the u. s. and frankly, these relations are at an all time low right now. hootin mentioned how this didn't usually always be the case. he mentioned that it used to be that relation between, for example, rush and he, wes, were go operative. however, over the past several decades,

they have basically disintegrated and somehow even continue to get worse. right now . communications between russian nato have essentially been saburd, tatting to all of that is now. the provocations from nato putin talked about how 1st of all, nato broke all its promises and continued expanding towards the east. how countries like poland and romania now house air defense systems, which as quickly as could be alarmingly quickly converted into a sol systems. and he mentioned the recent incident where the several nato strategic bombers were cited just 20 kilometers away from russia's borders. he basically said that all these actions combine are essentially crossing all red lines and the urn utter disregard for rushes, safety and interests, ah, sort of issue regarding the black sea. the latest absolutely goes beyond certain limits. we've seen strategic bowman fly 20 kilometers from us state border,

and these bombers carry very serious weapons, as you would know. yes, we constantly express our concerns about this matter. we talk about red lines, but of course we understand that our partners, the very peculiar and put it mildly, they have a superficial attitude toward all of our warnings and talks about red lines. hooton's id say that a russian nevertheless, still would like to have better relations with the west and nato, but only on terms of you shall respect our this point. it seems that the other side is not particularly interested in that, but put and said that if they don't want to build back relations, well basically they don't have to. zillow like will. and mr. they spell the diplomats out of the blue without giving any reason. and then they got offended that we shut down the ambition in russia. why get offended? this was their initiative. they did it with their own hands and then look for someone else to blame should. well, if they don't want to cooperate with us, fine, they don't have to. it isn't something we want anyway. i think they'll want to

though they're already giving us science that they do. so why expel the diplomats out of the blue for no reason, just like that. but of course, nato says that it's russia, that's the bad guy. and size rushed to the ledger involvement in eastern ukraine as well as other stories where rushes came to be the bad guy. but with all these allegations, head for tad said provocations. it seems that relations between russia and the west, nato and the u. s. won't be building back better any time soon. drug overdose deaths in the us have now surpassed fatalities from car crashes, guns and even the winter flu. the white house confirmed the news. our nation has reached a tragic milestone. more than 100000 lives were lost to the overdose epidemic from april of last year to april of this year. as we continue to make strides to the feet the covert 19 pandemic. we cannot overlook this epidemic of loss which has

touched families and communities across the country. overdose deaths have accelerated dramatically in the past. 2 years, the coven pandemic has said to have played a role in the surging numbers with addicts unable to get the treatment they need due to lack towns. also, new data shows, many of the deaths involved the elicit use of the pain relieving opioid fellow. it's now responsible for more deaths than heroine was causing 5 years ago. the u. s. has been dealing with a prolonged opioid epidemic for several decades now. nearly 841000 people have died from drug overdoses since 991. this, according to the cdc, prescription and elicit opioids have been responsible for most of those death leading pain management expert john dombrowski told us there is no silver bullet for solving that problem. this is, unfortunately, it's a very complex problems. so the pharmaceutical industry did make these products

that is true and sometimes these foreign pharmaceutical industries also advertise the problem speedo perhaps a little aggressively. but there's also a problem with the united states is that our government made the pain. the final sense that made physicians need to write these medications to treat pain aggressively. so we've seen the pendulum swing from one end where they had no medication to doubt aggressive medications. cause, you know, be a crisis that we do need to talk about other therapies that is really important. not everything is an uphill and a fortune mirror is a pill taking society. just take a pill, you're gonna get better. it's still more complex than that, but that's why you need to get to the right. physician specialists, anesthesiologist who specializes in pain medicine may be physical medicine, rehab doctor to get to the right physician to get the right diagnosis to be on the medication. it might be a narcotic or maybe don't need as much, not, maybe not need to procedure. but there are a lot of things that we can do to limit the exposure to narcotic therapy. i certainly agree with that. inflation is breaking records worldwide in the u. k.

it has surged to a 10 year high with a figure far greater than any economists had ever predicted. does now more than double the target said by the bank of england, which held interest rates steady earlier this month. now as of october, inflation had climbed 4 percent in just 12 months and is expected declined further up to 5 percent in the upcoming year. it is a similar picture in the eurozone where the figure has had a 13 year record. now the united states, it's even higher reaching a 3 decade record of 6.2 percent. amid the raging inflation. analysts have warned, doing nothing about the country's huge debt, will only make matters worse. nevertheless, house democrats have proposed lifting a tax deduction cap, that critic se would handle millionaires a $25000.00 a year. tax windfall. peter c earl from the american institute for economic research believes there has to be the political will from everyone to do what's

necessary to quell inflationary pressures. it's serious, it certainly service. there are 2 forces at work right now, raising general price levels around the world. part of the reason has to do a supply chain and other bottlenecks that were caused by pen different policies. but the other part has to do with the effects of the expansion policies that a bunch of barrows that a bunch of central bags in the federal reserve bank of england and others put in place of the last 20 months. inflation is hidden backs. in fact, everyone, but it actually hits the poor people on fixed incomes, worst of all. and additionally, inflation makes it difficult for businesses to efficiently and profitably offer goods and services to people scares serious. it's perfectly predictable unless you're a politician. that if you treat the global economy like light switch and attempt to turn an offer on it, well, even in the face, pandemic, some businesses, some industries will take much longer to recover than others. and also it's logical that if the supply of money is increased by a huge amount, is small amount of time,

that extra money is going to change the same number of goods and services over the economy originally drive prices up. and all of this is essentially economics, 11 the 1st plane taking migrants back to iraq from bell roof has landed in baghdad. according to an iraqi diplomat, more than 400 people have officially registered to fly home voluntarily. and this comes after crowds of people spend several freezing nights out in the open on the bell rous pulling border, hoping to get into that, you know, at the moment only a few doesn't remain out in the cold. after most of the migrants were housed in a converted warehouse, a cobra vaccination point has been set up at the camp as well. our correspondent, what guys you have sent us a report from the scene. this jet was announced just yesterday, plans for it. things have been expedited, obviously, moving along very quickly. there has been an abrupt de escalation here. the

migrants have been moved back away from the polish or from the polish food on the bell russian side. so even those who, who wanted to remain, who wanted to take their chances and try to run the border even may have been moved further back here towards this logistics center, which has been handed over for the needs of the migrants, more than a 1000 people. and now housed here, they're receiving a medical attention, for example, which a number of them have needed, especially after the, the incident where puller secure post sprayed them with, with water cabinets laced with a tear gas like substance. so they're receiving medical attention as hot food here, there's electricity, there's, there's warmth that the weather recently hasn't been. cons to any one. it is been wetted, has been frightfully cold, very windy and it's going to get worse. it's going to a snow. so even those hardy migrants who wanted take their chances and the border,

they're there, they're being forced to think twice before doing so. but again, that iraq has said to jet ease, one thing, but there are many nationalities here. there are afghans. there are syrian sara, iraq is obviously, but there are also even people from to bed that have been spotted here. are all coming here to belarus, trying to get across into europe, most of them into germany getting across poland into germany over the last several days. many people by may have changed their minds. the is what they imagined. the strip would be like is very different from what it was like, which is when they faced her flashbanc grenades. that tear gasped. water jet, fired by polish security force. many of them are now saying that they would rather return to where they came from, rather than risk running the border liberty. we let them each and i don't have any more hope for the european union. we were sleeping in the forest for 10 days and

they were children with us. it's very dangerous. none, none of that new countries are ready to speak about the problem. and nobody accepts, as i said in holland, is using tig ice against women and children. and the you keep silence about this i only poland is telling the media that we are dangerous. they seize as animals are, but we are not on emotion. oliver. i have failed to reach germany, and i once go home ever. we've tried to get to europe 3 times and we didn't succeed . i'm upset when i saw happen to the border. i can't stay here very hard. his envelope man at the vasa, i am very tired. i don't want to try again. my family in iraq are saying, please come back. when i saw poland, you steer gas against women and children. i thought other european countries would be no different. there have been many questions asked of poland response to these might with attempting to cross the border of women, children among them, the violent often responds that there are very few people who have made it across

the boarded among those even fewer scanner. individuals have made it all the way to germany. they're being caught across poland and driven back to the border with barrows and forced back across the border. so again, many of become disenchanted with what they imagined europe would be like. and what they have found reality to be like again, we expect many more repatriation floods from iraq from ah, from other countries perhaps. but the, the situation is that there has been a di escalation on the political level. there was also been contact between belarus and. 3 the european union president lucas, chicago, or his administration just couldn't just coming out saying there, i know about 7000 migrants currently and bellows, about 2000 of them here at nea boda with the new the checkpoint. the border with, with poland. and many of them are going to be driven back to minsk the capital and

they're going to seek those flights, carrying them out of the country. now i quick warning it now that you may find this following video, disturbing with routes from belarus into poland, largely sealed off migrants are trying their luck further north that the lithuanian frontier, the bell russian border service has leased this on verified video, allegedly showing lithuanian police with dogs forcing migrants to turn back on tuesday night lithuania, which is in the new, has offered a different version of events. it's saying bell russian guards pushed 13 migrants over to the left wing inside and prevented them from returning to bellows. after they were denied entry. with winter on its way, europe's energy crisis shows no sign of letting up gas prices have shot up even higher, reaching nearly $1000.00 euros per 1000 cubic meters on

tuesday. now the 17 percent increase came right after germany suspended certification of the nord stream. it to pipeline. now the countries energy regulator insist that the operator of the pipeline has to be registered as a german entity. while the nord stream to company is based in switzerland. we discussed the situation with klaus ernst, a member of the german parliament. he says that those who will suffer the most from the gas supply delay our ordinary citizens. as i said that the only file it's in tricia. this is unfortunate because the german, as well as european customers, will eventually pay for the sanction delays into is necessary indeed that the pipeline opening is expedited as soon as possible for the gas to stop flowing and fill out the storage facility he's off so so and off the federal government, if the current gas price increases, because something's true with russia not fulfilling its contractual obligation lock . i have received confirmation to the russia hasn't been filled all it's contracts, and there is no information proving otherwise. this notion ra,

a shows that here we have politically biased people who blame russia for anything that goes wrong. that hagen, we do have other pipelines that are operational. these we still have nor stream one and several other my bonds that allow us to obtain russian gas. however, because the netherlands no way of planning to cope gas production, i see that no dream truth will be vital to increase the gases supply here. but i can only worn not to further politicize. the issue of europe's energy supply. germany alone has made plenty of mistakes, and it will be very wrong to drive to the extreme. it is not that russia does not want to supply drama. it's a problem with those countries of transit that can abuse these circumstances in india. i. so i would like to warn you not to mix politics and not to take advantage of this situation around by le roost, as it may once again, eventually lead to a discussion about the fight off this pipeline was who configure reduce elijah in about 32 minutes that's when i will be back with another full infection is this is

our international. i'm john thomas. god, have you with us? mm. ah, i 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 order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously is to race trust rather than fear with on various job. i mean with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a

robot must protect its own existence with there is no shortage of growing tensions in eastern europe. there is a growing e u barrier stand off over illegal migration. where are western reports? russia is amassing troops within its own borders, and of course, there is the self inflicted crisis of european energy supplies. it is no coincidence some recalling this hybrid war, but whose hybrid war, against whom ah well come, said alec sobbing. sure for a special program featuring perhaps the most naturally gifted footballer ever to

dornan england, jersey. and certainly the score of the most memorable england gall, this makes headlines, have been dominated by racism. entricken. i sort of the i stand in black clears to meet the full force of overt racism in football. and in 1900 ninety's, he's published which contains some surprising and challenging do racism operate in wider society player is jordan binds. the big isn't titled the uncomfortable truth about racism. today, he is in conversation with alex, but 1st he, your tweets emails and messages in response to i to last week on the continuing call, the crisis jayceon wise and says, and my humble opinion, i don't think any of the deval government seems to be listening to the experts anymore. this must be because they obviously know better. know, alan says, excellent shoe as usual. you think that governments would listen to and follow the advice of these learned men?

it's not rocket science after all. but common sense seems to me that it's more
