ah, ah, global pandemic, big profits. we examine how farmer giants had another bumper year. closely followed settlement between defeats convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein . and he's accused of giving you 2 free as being made public that the head of a critical hearing involving the british royal families to prince andrew, also ahead. 19 years 10 months and $25.00 days on his american legacy. all the looked back at one of the defining moments of last year. us withdrawal from afghanistan, which brought the country to the brink of collapse with

5 am here in the russian capital. thank you for joining us here in our international. my name's peter scott covey. cases i have searched in the united states with the weekly average, surpassing 360000. throughout the pandemic, the world health organization has stressed. the only way forward is to mass vaccination, and one knock on effects of that big profits. the big pharma, 3 companies, pfizer, beyond tech, a madonna, between them have reportedly been breaking in over $90000000.00 a day. is our t saskia taylor 2021 beer we discovered that ready no cure for greed. just off, big pharma, pfizer is forecasting $15000000000.00 in revenue from its covert vaccine. this year . it is our 1st profitable quarter, hitting that 1900000000 mark a majority of which is their cobra. 1900 vaccine of course, $1000.00 every 2nd, pfizer by our tech and modo now made $1000.00 every 2nd. but it turns out that drug

companies like to pop to pills at once, money and power, and we're better to wield ones power than in washington. d. c. introducing congress says biggest lobbyist, big pharma, which last year dropped a cool $266000000.00 to sway america. lawmakers. so given how the holy trinity of fires and madonna biotech was averaging over 900000000 a day last yet it's really just loose change. blessone 3 days walk. in fact, for the rest of us though, it's an awful lot. you know what, there's also an awful lot of in the u. s. capital big pharma lope. yes. in fact, so many, but they are number congressmen. 3 to one. so what does all that cash exposure get them? well, pretty much anything they want. this is a very powerful industry with significant lobbying cloud. it's very good at knowing exactly how many votes they need to kill pieces of legislation and figuring out

a way to get those votes. it's funny though, because you'd think, but with a democrat run, a house and senate. pharmaceutical giants would have had a tough year. after all, 3 years, the parties been promising to fight the greed 1st we'll take on the drug and insurance companies and hold them accountable for the prices they charge in the harm they cause it's called valiant pharmaceuticals. i'm going after them. we are going to stop this. this is predatory pricing, and then we'll tell the pharmaceutical companies thanks, but no thanks for overpriced drugs. pay the highest prescription drug prices of any develop nation in the world, but enough is enough. the greed of the pharmaceutical industry is killing americans and making many of them much sicker than they otherwise what have been it has got to stop. so we need congress to finish the job, to come together and make a difference in people's lives. turns out though, making money is so much more fun than making

a difference in people's lives. in fact, 60 percent of big farmers know be money goes to democrats. so when in april a plan was proposed to knock down truck prices, surprise it got voted down one of the people against fit new jersey senator bob mendez. you know how much menendez is pocketed from the drug store? be this year? $80000.00. then along came the build back, better act, which among other things wanted to make medication actually affordable a ridiculous idea. so what did big pharma do? it splash some serious cash to block the bell? big farmer will spend, do, and say whatever it takes to defeat any legislation that will curb its unilateral power to dictate prices of prescription drugs. apparently the big pharma rules that leave almost one in for americans unable to afford that regular medication is necessary because while reef touch, we have an obligation to ensure that the sale of our medicines provides us with the

resources necessary to invest in future research and development and while the lobbies $1000000.00 ad failed bill, bach bachelors, bone, the rocks anyway. so fingers crossed, you know, what came as a real shock. other than politicians, putting money for people and pharmaceutical joints. not caring about public health . the fact that big pharma plays dottie 1st drug companies have raised prices with abandon, especially when they succeed in delaying a blocking competition. in some cases, tied to higher pay for executives. second, companies have manipulated the peyton system and marketing exclusive. it is to extend their monopolies. 3rd, all the companies, the committee investigated, have employed anti competitive strategies to suppress generic competition. really does no one i'd rather have in control of like saving medication. also, it wouldn't be matter. the pandemic cost is just a little while longer. they got on

a path and they want to keep this path there. and these other therapeutics aren't really going to make them a lot of money. politicians, i'm big pharma harder walk in d. c. save lives, solving the people, and showing each and every day that there's no drug, more addictive than money. power. and everything in between. moscow has lashed out of the u. k. after leaked documents revealed the britain plans to spend millions of pounds to promote this agenda. an influence society in russia, the papers which proportionally from the british foreign office were published by the investigative group undecided on his website. russia's foreign ministry spokesman brought on the trove of data that was exposed. the under side archives contain dozens of documents with project descriptions, lists of names, organizations, and all of the accounting fraud. the numbers boggled imagination. more than one point. 3000000000 roubles have been allocated for the period from 2020 to 2020 free

to finance programs to influence public organizations, and for them government agencies and transform the course of russia in the direction great britain needs. well, earlier my colleagues, nicky, are an invoice to she thought through the developments. what we have here is a trove of legal documents that are being published on line by the script on the side, appearing to reveal this valve network of and job to receive grants or funding from the british or authorities for dozens of projects within russia. the most sensational revelations here is the creation of a toe horse, 25 elite who could go on for leadership roles. he could be passive, strategic change within russia. according to the documents, the aim would be to work with tensions within the country. now, if accurate, these are, of course, serious accusations, say we're talking about russia accusing the u. k. of meddling. it's internal

affairs, unusually, as we know, the series of the other 30. it's usually other countries accusing russia of meddling like you can accuse rush of meddling in the elections and 2919 for example . now in lights all these revelations, the foreign ministry spokeswoman maria harris has the keys, london of increasing polarization within russia. let's take a listen. the british are directly spending money on the build up of the internal political situation in the country. how else to explain the existence of a grant plan that involves sponsoring involvement in demonstrations and political rallies, as well as mentioning the growth of social tension and the reservation of society. now these lead documents also appeared to reveal a focus on the promotion of the l g, b t q plus a culture pushing for acceptance in russia. also, the documents describe russia as homophobic is particularly unfriendly to this community. but you know, it was just a few days ago, the black person was doing his big annual speech to, to the present, to the public as well. been over 4 hours this time and put and said quote, if some,

if someone thinks that a women and men are the same thing, then be my guest. but there is common sense, let them boot and said, i stick to the traditional approach that a woman is a woman, a man is a man. a mom is a mom, and dad is a dad. i mean, some like cool that a traditional society, a traditional culture and society in russia. this sort of, however, describes russia as homophobic and unfriendly. exactly, exactly. but as these documents revealed, the aim of each of these projects is to deliver change within russia. also listed in the document says via one of these programs, russian n g a would be encouraged to rehabilitate to support migrant entering russia illegally. there's also talk of a change to the system of training lawyers, and this is all across russia and my time now talking about based groups, which had made these revelations that publish these documents on the side, we don't know too much about this group as yet. however, with such remarks, when the foreign ministry spokesman is looking like it's something which is being taken very seriously. now, so far,

london has not commented on the issue. we have sent them an email, however, that the email inbox is full apparently, which is very unfortunate. however, when we do receive a response, we will of course, bring you up to speed. in the meantime, maria, the however, is urging the u. k to respond one way or the other. the british foreign office has only one way out to publicly declare that all this is fake misinformation. and of course highly likely what you can says that there are plans to interfere in the internal affairs of russia. repent change a tank to a yellow submarine and lay low in bruges. while, like i say, we're going to have to wait to see how the u. k. responds to these revelations that are being published in the website and then we'll take it from there. now details of a settlement between convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein, i'm one of his accusers. the junior jewelry had been made public the moving parts of miss ju fees, sexual abuse law suits against britons. prince andrew kellum open picks up the

story. while we now have the documents and they do not mention the name of prince andrew and make no references to royalty, these documents have been made public prior to the day in which a decision will be made about whether or not charges against prince andrew will be dismissed now, prince andrew faces charges for sexual battery, and it's alleged by virginia roberts, you fray that she had sex with him when she was 17 years old and was forced into doing so prince andrew denies these allegations. now it's important to note there have been many developments around the jeffrey epstein case recently we saw the conviction of delane maxwell, the british socialite, who was convicted of having worked with jeffrey epstein to traffic miners for sex. and she was convicted of 5 counts of abusive minors in court. and she has been accused of essentially sex traffic and girls for epstein and his friends which

included a role of a lead for defense at the trial, argued that she was being made to pay for the crimes committed by jeffrey epstein. now there's been widespread media speculation that if she comes forward and accept responsibility for her actions and then proceeds to name names of those who participated in these activities with jeffrey epstein, that she could get a much lighter sentence that remains to be seen. what will take place in the lead up to her sentencing? now it's important to note that it's not only prince andrew that faces allegations virginia roberts to fray has also accused a harvard professor and prominent lawyer in the united states. so we'll be waiting to see what further developments take place and what big revelations could remain down the pike as the saga surrounding the scandal of jeffrey epstein continues. will earlier we spoke with us journalist chadwick, moore. you said that epstein legal deal with do free will it failed to absolve a defend defendant before this is an agreement that jeffrey epstein settled with

virginia robertson, 2009. she received $500000.00 to basically relinquish any sort of future responsibility into it. specifically says epstein associates attorneys, employees, etc. now it doesn't name print then do affectively. but disagreement was used by allan dirt, who it was a very famous lawyer here in united states to absolve him. so of the case that, that virginia roberts brought forth a good 70 brought up disagreement and the judge dismissed it. prince andrew is hoping this agreement will also him a being sued by virginia roberts and tomorrow this judge in new york will decide whether or not the case can go forward. now, it's difficult, we don't really see all the document that's involved here. it's going to be really up to the judges discretion. this whole epstein saga has really exposed how beliefs and how may well be parker people. the world have been protected for

a long time against things like this. i've done this done remains on the brink of a humanitarian disaster, millions of faith and starve ation. as winter temperatures plummets and the country's economy is on its knees shrinking by almost half in recent months, left them as haste, the u. s. military exit, so tragic scenes unfold. ah, thousands of off guns tried to flee the country during and after the us evacuation . in let's a chaotic scenes at cobbles, airport, as well as panic across the capitol ortiz, the senior correspondence. murat gas div was there at the time in 2001. it began with, with righteousness and pomp. invade of gotta start to fight for freedom to fight

terrorism and make the world a better place. 19 years, 10 months and $25.00 days on. this is america's legacy. destroyed and sabotaged equipment. a country board to ruin and still in control of the talbot. that is the ultimate tragedy of the afghan war at was entirely and violently pointless. years and years of an obliging little questioning media. fooled billions into believing that there was progress that america could win total victory over the taliban to taliban flat. the end of the taliban taliban leadership on the run. and now the question is, how do you handle that success? ah, with i wasn't supposed to be this way. the taliban wasn't supposed to sweep the country

in me. a weeks, the pentagon spent a decade preparing to leave of gaston, and even they weren't ready for this. together with our eyes, we will complete our mission bear. by the end of this year, i announced a timeline for drawing down our forces. we are working to finally and america's longest war is timed and for evermore. america's proudest movement of the afghan war wasn't supposed to be a humiliating evacuation under the guns of the taliban. but it was, there is absolutely nothing else to celebrate. the united states ended 20 years of war in afghanistan, the longest war and american history. we completed one of the biggest air lists in history, with more than 120000 people evacuated to safety. no nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all history. the only the united states

had the capacity to will the ability to do it. and we did it today. where was the afghan army? where was the western backed government? where did all the money go? the united states sunk more than a $100000000000.00 in the rebuilding of data stock for reference adjusted for inflation. that is more than the united states spent on the marshal plot to rebuild europe after world war 2. and the tragedy of it is that for a civilian the side from all the american weapons and the taliban fads berries almost no evidence that any of that money ever passed through here from broken roads that lead to nowhere to abandoned hospitals from twisted contractors and corrupt leaders of janice duncan arguably be called the largest money laundering operation in human history. the united states is also committed to playing

a leading role in the reconstruction of afghanistan. ah ah. ah. the taliban now has more black hawk helicopters than 85 percent of countries in the world. ah, al qaeda and isis k still exist in our growing and afghanistan, and eventually they acquire these weapons.

ah, we now have americans stuck in afghanistan to tell van in charge the smoke more weaponry they've ever had in the past of order that is, of the taliban now controls more of the country than it did before. the u. s. invaded at new government this field with what dynamo, bay inmates, and terrorist mac dean who even have american bounties on their heads. what washington achieved was the absolute opposite of what it intended. the bombing at campbell airport during the evacuation epitomized the afghan war, a senseless act, devoid of reason, which needless, he cut short so many lives. we will not forgive. we will not forget. we will hunt you down to make you pay.

we've heard the same promise before 20 years ago when america was united and when it thought that it could change the world when it thought it was invincible. and when the people believed a president's promise more, i guess the f. r t couple of galveston. ah, the use of nuclear weapons as a deterrence of war was reiterated on monday in a statement between 5 nuclear states. russia, the u. s. britain, france on china. they made a call to adhere to the existing agreements which worked on the premise that nuclear conflict can be nothing but dangerous. we declare that the can be no winners in a nuclear war, and it should never be unleashed. we also turn the nuclear weapons as long as they continue to exist, should serve defensive purposes, to turn aggression and prevent war. we believe that the further proliferation of

such weapons should be prevented. well, according to the documents, the countries declared their commitments to the nonproliferation treaty, which is one of the pillars of nuclear weapons control. yet just one of a number of agreements ensuring global security. us as previously called alarm by withdrawing from co deals, including the anti ballistic missile and open skies treated. we spoke with anti will artifice. brian becker, you say the new agreement fails to accurately convey u. s. foreign policy. the u. s. nuclear posture review undertaking during the trap administration in 2018 reaffirms that the u. s. will not give up the 1st use capability and 1st use prerogatives. and that have been the cornerstone of us nuclear doctrine. since 1945, i think it's just the smoke screen. i think they want. it's like going to church on sunday and putting your hand on the bible and, and professing your love of,

of all of the 10 commandments and going up the next day and killing somebody and say, but remember, i'm a good christian. i went to, i went to church on sunday. i think it's like that. it's really just a thin veneer, a big leave to mass, the real us policy, which is to gain dominance, including the dominance with nuclear weapons and outer space. this is a physically, this should not be taken seriously. this is just camouflaged on the part of the united states. the renewed call for nuclear stability. it comes amid an escalation intentions between nato and russia. moscow and your lines have been at loggerheads over ukraine's position as a potential member of nate. so marcia has consistence consistently denied a plan to attack ukraine and says the build up of troops within its borders, a just part of routine military exercises. there are plans for a series of meetings this month to find a diplomatic solution. so what russia sees as western encroachments on its borders

in light of the developments, brian beckett says the u. s. is arts and provocatively. i don't think it can be more dangerous right now. i mean, what the u. s. is doing is pressing against russia's border with advanced troops and provocation. such that the stage is being said for the integration of ukraine into nato. that would bring nato a nuclear alliance. with advanced nuclear and conventional weapons in a threatening way, that means the united states is in fact, preparing for major power conflict with russia. seems like insanity because it is. but again, the pentagon is acting again with craziness. in israel, a navy helicopter, with a crew of 3 crust during the training flight, 2 pilots were killed and a 3rd survived. what the military describes as moderate injuries. these knowing

hospital receiving treatment and the israeli air force is now grounded helicopters of the same type. an old training sites have been suspended over in iran, american and israeli flags a been burned into iran on the 2nd anniversary of the assassination of general cassim, fully money. he was killed in iraq by a drug strike on order that then us present. donald trump, iranians regards to the money is the hero who was bustling again terrorism. and on monday iran vowed revenge for the general assassination. unless donald trump is put on trial for the killing. severe flooding has forced a 1000 than indonesia to flee the homes. at least one person is dead with streets and business is inundated, levels are expected to keep on rising. last month, the country enjoyed a similar disaster that caused massive destruction and long flights and drivers in an argentinian province huts another gates through dense smoke from

wildfires. no casualties, thankfully have been reported, but emergency services a strongly can contain the fire that have been burning in the country for weeks. that's all for now, but i'll be back in just over 30 minutes with a run down of the headline. thank you very much for watching. ah . what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation. let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only really i'm getting to resists. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical of time, time to sit down and talk while

our officers are facing an increasingly dangerous environment. we are seeing a growing debate about so called warrior cops. the term that i've heard in the militarization of believe this is an amber vehicle we acquired through the 1033 program, very free program. and the government program that calls military property that is no longer use to local law enforcement. we are building an army over here and i can't believe people. i see a thing of terrorism here because it began a feeling that hey, you have to deal with our practice. who are you putting in a uniform cover bands? it'll probably have like money in play tricks and people mind they think they done the bad news, but what is out the door? very bad. johns are coming. good news. you have job security because the world desperately need to have people

join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. i this financial survival guy did a little about money laundering. first, it is cash to 3 different good. this is a good start. well, we have our 3 banks all set up here. maybe something in europe, something in america, something overseas. in the cayman islands, you never know all these banks are complicit in the paper, so we just have to give them a call and say, hey, i'm ready to do some serious my laundry. ok, let's see how we did. well, we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy. oh, beautiful jewelry. and how about ha ha. luxury automobile again for mag, you know, it, money laundering is highly legal. don't watch. ah,

christmas. the traditional yuletide holiday. this year i'm making this traditional special christmas guide me christmas tolerance diversity guide. we all know that christmas is a family holiday. so make sure all your parents are properly numbered. i follow the agenda and make us know woman instead of snowman. or even better that this new person designed for themselves. ah, ah, no gifts, no, don't want any better. prepare your children for the brave new world. i remember diversity is not at all i oh, this is no longer an appropriate cost you. this is appropriation. 0,

a logical appropriation offensive to the day community. mm hm. and obviously santa oh has to be cancelled. i because he is a wisest gender male who abuses. mrs. claus discriminate against children based on behavior. whereas red, which is a communist color, makes children sit on his lap, makes people destroy trees and exploit sales. so sorry kids center is not coming to town anymore. i follow these instructions. stick to the spirit of christmas. you decide. i i ah,

there is been battle in business. you can't afford to miss. i make a bridge. we're in washington. here's what we got coming up. now what of the world looked indebted companies is continuing to face issues as a new year begins, we'll get to the bottom of why fairs and ever gram group were halted on monday. and 2 of the largest american telecom companies have refused to comply with a call from the us government to delay watching new 5 you services. to take a look at the decision, what it all mean plus will take a look at the energy sector as oil prices about pre pandemic level for opec says it, expect to be on the con, very to be my live and short lived. was got it on that we had to like to get used to let's get started.
