war, but whose hybrid war against whom 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 relating to the approval of pfizer coven 19 vaccine. also this hour a u. s. court slams if the door is shut to an american tv station after one of their freelance journalists was caught, allegedly stalking a bus full of jurors in the kyle high profile, in case of cow rittenhouse. well, if they don't want to cooperate with us, fine, they don't have to. it isn't something we want. anyway. vladimir putin takes a swipe at the military activities of washington and nato and a fiery foreign policy speech. ah,

contact the library from studios and moscow. this is art international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. are now over half a century. that's how long america's drugs watchdog wants to sit on redacted documents on pfizer cove at vaccine. they relate to the jobs approval by the sta and have been requested by a group of medics under freedom of information. but you have to ya is resisting parties. kellum up and reports, they have a situation here where, because there has been a freedom of information act request filed out 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 should that

vile, 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, cobra, 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 the civil tenuously with the

licensure. instead, it has done the opposite. this case is not about vaccine mandates, 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 british 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 the moment we have the lawsuit 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 pages a month of the remaining 329000 pages. and that would take 55 years over half a century. u. s. t v channel m s, and b. c has been banned from the divisive trial of kyle written house. that's after a freelancer, reportedly told police he had been instructed to follow the bus transporting the jury when he was pulled over for a traffic violation i spokesperson for the channels sr. network denied the man was trying to contact or photograph of the jurors. i to you john hardy spoke to us from outside the court in kenosha, pointing to the canal, police, and also the judge, overseeing this case. bruce schrader, 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 the deliberations ended, the jury generally goes to an undisclosed location, a hotel, you know, other location for the night. and this person was pulled over, suspected a following the jury van and even possibly taking pictures. and when i taught, when confronted by police told police that they were an m s. nbc producer, under instructions from new york to follow this jury van now. and he said his distance in itself, at least a statement saying it was a freelancer and was never, you know, given an 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 say, from further covering in the court the, the ongoing proceedings here is what the judge said. listen, please, 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 what was going on in the case that information and

the stated that he had been instructed by him is in new york to follow the jury bus. so whether or not this guy was dead 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 help 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 all it makes all of us look 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, most serious charge, homicide murder in other states that would basically if again convicted, you would spend the rest of his life in prison. on yesterday, the jury asked to see very important drone video, which is at the center of the defense teams motion for a mistrial. the defense saying that they did not receive the same type of high resolution video that the prosecution had. it's unlikely to judge will declare a mistrial based upon that, but it's a 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 col. rittenhouse saying he was a hero, defending the property of businesses and homeowners during the riots here in protest in kenosha, wisconsin, back in august, 2020. and then those who say now he acted recklessly. he was a vigilante. he should and 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 rush. his foreign minister has lashed out at his western counterparts, accusing them of sabotaging the ukraine peace talks. sugar elaborate, spoke out after he triggered a diplomatic spad by publishing his diplomatic correspondence with france and germany. in connection with the ukraine crisis to south taylor spoke to my colleague, daniel hawkins. earlier about the story. well, talk about, pick him up, take drama. on wednesday, the russian foreign minister, you could say, broke with tradition. i'm published diplomatic correspondence between son, caleb roth and his counterparts in both france and germany. we're talking $28.00 pages, referring 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

format. 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 heard 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, only a few days ago, they went so far as to say that the russian foreign minister, cicada abroad had essentially flat out, refused to attend a pound meeting. now these to pronounce it wise, 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 will quite the opposite. let's in fact take listen to an except dear colleagues, i would like to reaffirm the importance of continuing our joint mediation efforts within the framework of the normandy formats to help resolve the conflict in easton

ukraine. i believe that a possible meeting should be well prepared, including the early development of a detailed joint final statements with specific recommendations to ukraine and certain areas of done yet against regions as parties to the conflict. now whether 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 wrong 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 know, stukes as well, the response from person, but it must have been while the for ministries in both france and germany have come out. and they've said that this publication is a breach of a 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 this step in the fast pace, at least that's what number offset. lucille alluded, most of the stuff, 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 arrogant incorrect and unethical statements daily during the last 2 weeks or so a lot of accumulated, like i said, for strange to know all 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. and finally, set the record straight pools that remains to be seen whether in the future. this will stop any similar misinterpretations will misrepresentations who are going to

be generous of russians, intentions and behavior. meanwhile, vladimir putin has branded as provocative the military actions of the us in the black sea, along with the expansion of nato near to russia's borders reporting next year's 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. futon mentioned how this didn't usually always be the case. he mentioned that it used to be that relation between for example, rush, cindy, west, we're go operative. however, over the past several decades, they have basically disintegrated and somehow even continued to get worse. right now, communications between rush and nato have essentially been saburd. saddening to all

of that is now the provocations from nato put and talked about how. first of all, nato broke all his promises and continued expanding towards the east, how countries like poland and romanian house air defense systems, which as quickly as could be alarmingly quickly converted into a sol system. and he mentioned the recent incident where the several nato strategic bombers were cited just 20 kilometers away from russia's borders. he at basically said that all these actions combine are essentially crossing all red lines and they are utter disregard for russia. safety and interests ah sure was there to sure regarding the black sea the latest absolutely goes beyond certain limits. we've seen strategic boma is 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 to 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 mutual respect. our this point, it seems that the other side is not particularly interested in that, but boots and said that if they don't want to build back relations, well basically they don't have to. zillow like will. and mr. vey: spell the diplomats after 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 be 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 die like they're already giving us signs 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 rush to the ledger involvement in eastern ukraine as well as other stories where rushes jane, it's been a bad guy. but with all these allegations, head for tat sen, 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 dinners, 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 continued to make strides to the feet the cove at 19 pandemic, we cannot overlook this epidemic of loss which has touched families and communities across the country. or had overdose death to have accelerated dramatically in the past 2 years. the coven pandemic is said to have played

a role in the surging numbers with addicts unable to get the treatment they need due to locked outs. also, new data shows many of the deaths involved the elicit use of the pain relieving opioid fentanyl. it is now responsible for more deaths than heroine was causing 5 years ago. now the u. s. has been dealing with a prolonged opioid epidemic for several decades. nearly 841000 people have died from drug overdoses since 1991. according to the cdc, now prescription and elicit opioids have been responsible for most of those death, leading pain management expert john dombrowski told us that there is no silver bullet for solving this 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 these problems speedo perhaps a little aggressively. but there's also a problem with the united states is that our government made the pain the final

time. so it may, physicians need to write these medications to treat pain aggressively. so we've seen the pendulum swing from one end where they get no medication to now aggressive medications causing an opiate crisis that we do need to talk about other therapies that is really important. not everything is in a pill, 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 of 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. still adding the program after days of tension, the poland beller is border begins to clear as it demoralized migrants trying to reach the you give up in return home. our correspondent reports from the c never short breaks. they want us. this is our international

prices for gas is going and going to be up dramatically by the time the elections because a bite has an adjust the true cause of this calamity. and that is the excess of money printing and days they're scheduled now to double the money supply. the empty money supply again, all the next 12 months. they've doubled it over the previous 12 months. they're going to double and again. so gas is go and $89.00 a gallon. ah, we're seeing high levels, one certainty creeping in economy life. and i think we're all away of the disruption of global supply chains receiving spike in the cost of energy. we're seeing

a reappearance of inflation. i think all of these constitute the economy school down the sign risks, which could mean to begin with is still ahead of us despite the moderation of the severity of the demean juice. chris ah, welcome back. this is our t international. now, 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 predicted. it is now more than double the target said by the bank of england, which held interest rates steady earlier this month. as of october, inflation has climbed 4 percent in just 12 months and is expected to climb further up to 5 percent in the upcoming year. it is a similar picture in the euro's own,

where the figure has hit a 13 year record. and the united states gets even higher reaching a 3 decade record of 6.2 percent. amid the raging inflation. analysts have warned, doing nothing about the countries. huge debt will only make matters worse. nevertheless, house democrats have proposed lifting a tax deduction cap that critics se would hand millionaires a 25000 dollar 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 qual, inflationary pressures are 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 barrels that a bunch of central bags in the federal reserve bank of england and others put in

place in the last 20 months. inflation has a hit and backs and effects every one, but it actually hits the poor and people on fixed incomes, worst of all. and additionally, inflation makes it difficult for businesses to efficiently profitably offer goods and services to people. it's very serious, it's perfectly predictable unless you're a politician. that if you treat the global economy like a light switch and attempt to turn an offer out, well, even in the face or pandemic, some businesses, some industries will take much longer to recover it and others. and also it's logical that if the supply of money is increased by huge amount is small amount of time. that extra money is going to change the same number of goods and services or the economy originally drive prices up. and all of this is essentially one of the 1st plane taking migrants back to iraq from bell ruse has landed in baghdad. according to the rocky diplomat more than 400 people have officially registered to fly home voluntarily. this comes after crowds of people spent several freezing

nights out in the open of the bell room pulling border, hoping to get into you 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 coby vaccination point has been set up at the camp as well. our correspondent, what, gosh, do you have sent us this report from the scene cease jets 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 they have been moved. further back here to woods. this logistics had to, which has been handed over for the needs of the migrants, more than a 1000 people are now housed here. they are 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. 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 want to 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 tibet 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 at 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 grenade said tear gas. water jet, fired by polish security for 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 and none of that new countries are ready to speak about the speak problem. and nobody accepts us in holland is using take us against women and children. and the you keep silence about this. i only poland is telling the media that we are dangerous. they sees as animals are, but we are not analysis oliver. i have failed to reach germany, and i want to go home that 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, the vassar. 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. oh, 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 mia boda with the new the checkpoint. the border with, with poland, and many of them are going to be driven back to minsk la capitol. and they're going to seek those flights, carrying them out of the country. and a quick warning now that you may find this following video, a bit disturbing with routes from belarus into poland, largely sealed off migrants are trying their look further north at the lithuanian frontier. the bell russian border service has released this on verified video, allegedly showing lithuanian police with dogs of forcing migrants to turn back on

tuesday night. lithuania, which is in the you has offered a different version of events. it's saying bell russian guards pushed 13 migrants over to the lithuanian side and prevented them from returning to bellows after they were denied entry. all as they say, winter is coming and 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, the 17 percent increase came right after germany suspended certification of the north stream to gas pipeline. now the countries energy regulator insists 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 class ernst, a member of the german parliament. he says that those who will suffer the most from the gas supply delay, our ordinary citizens does,

is ship it the only guy lives in tears. which this is unfortunate because the german, as well as european customers, would eventually pay for such delays into it is necessary indeed that the pipeline opening is expedited as soon as possible for the gas to stop flowing and fill up the storage facilities. office will adopt the federal government if the current gas price increase has something to do with russia not fulfilling its contractual obligations. i have proceed. confirmation to the russia has fulfilled all its contracts, and there is no information proving otherwise. this notion rather shows that here we have politically biased people who blame russia for anything that goes wrong. craig, we do have other pipelines that operationalized, 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 to stream to will be vital to increase the gas supply. but again, 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. rather, it's a problem with those countries of transit that can abuse these circumstances and, and i, so i would like to warn you not to mix politics and not to take advantage of this situation around by the roost. as it may, once again, eventually lead to a discussion about the fight of this pipeline was who configure we decide to one that does it for me, i will be back in about 30 minutes with another full and fresh lecture news to start international. ah

ah ah.
