a violence against women but this time the anger and emotion was directed against the police's handling of saturday's vigil for sarah everard the woman abducted and killed earlier this month the government and the london mayor are now putting pressure on the chief of the city's metropolitan police force a call to resign adding baba has our report i said i anger outside police headquarters in london a day after a vigil ended in seems that shocked many people here in the u.k. demonstrators gathered mixing demands for an end to male violence against women with claims that the police are part of the problem at saturday's vigil the focus was clearly on the we've been victims of male violence here the focus has shifted with denunciations of police brutality hundreds had come to the south london vigil near where sarah ever odd went missing initially police kept their distance but the decision to move in on the crowds and the use of force to arrest women created
12:03 am
outrage i agree pretty patel asked the metropolitan police schools for a full report the department said there were an altered questions after she met the met chief chris a dick and london's message a column for the opposition labor party says he's unsatisfied with her account insisting the met didn't honor its assurances the vigil would be released sensitively but despite calls from some for cressida dick to resign she's standing firm and strongly defending what happens with. the crowd that gathered lots of speeches. quite rightly as far as i can see my team felt this is now an unlawful gathering always poses a considerable risk to people's health cordin to the regulations. really invidious position for most is to find themselves in labor's now set to vote again. new
12:04 am
policing bill in the coming days this week in parliament we start a policing bill $300.00 or so pages $170.00 something called this and almost nothing almost nothing if you can believe it on violence against women and girls the gaping hole in this bill is why will be voting against it a complete missed opportunity by the government civil rights groups have also criticised the legislation saying it gives police too many powers to ban demonstrations if they'll cause disruption more protests are planned near parliament on monday is the pressure on the capital's police force and the politicians it says to increases lady gaga al-jazeera london. so we're now joined by a political and women's rights activist dr shah mehmood author of this is why i resists joins us via skype from london thank you for taking the time to speak to us and i ask what you were thinking and feeling when you saw those images of women being handcuffed and dragged away by police at saturday night's vigil. i felt
12:05 am
outrage what the police did was undoubtedly a violent assault on women's bottle validity at a time that we collectively gather to grieve you know the women blacks are ever at it many more that we've lost to male balance what i felt yesterday in seeing what the police did was that that action was not out and desecration of our right as women to collectively stand in solidarity with the determination to fight a culture that perpetrates the ability of some men to did now we're meant by loudly deny women their life liberty what the police did yesterday with the excessive use of force was to demonstrate the very patriarchal structure that oppress this women and bear in mind that what with the media attention given to sarah ever at its not the symbol for that of many other women that lost the mill balance that we lost
12:06 am
or by a local in any other or black and ethnic minority women particularly did not get afforded that kind of media scrutiny and that for us also shows that at the end of the day there is inequality in the way women are being treated like and that death right to new varies and number of issues there what did you make of the metropolitan police response they were saying that their actions were very much being driven by the people that were attending the vigil they say that it was necessary it was proportionate and then also they cite the government's covert restrictions. it was a disgusting response it was utterly insensitive and absolutely nonsense i mean way you look at how the way they treated women yesterday compared to how the police did not treat couple carers at that time when people were gathering the same
12:07 am
use of the coded relief bill itself is problematic because then it demonstrates that the police are being given sweeping powers that undermine our rights to protest but yesterday was not a protest it was a big deal it was a peaceful vigil and if all this is in the name of safety then why was some women treated different from others the duchess of cambridge catherine was there she had a mask on she was dabbing she doesn't have a mask on since it was outside but the point is she wasn't the rest of us actually and what other women were treated differently why is that can you tell me why the can you describe for us why the sara ever odd case has hit such a nerve in the country why thousands of women all around the country really identify with what has happened and what if anything the police can do to regain some kind of trust or confidence. this was an opportunity for the police to build trust with women women across the country the reason why so ever its case hit home
12:08 am
is because sara could have been any one of us doing the normal ordinary things that we should be able to do what they're talking deciding what time we house the office and the fact that we still live in a culture where women are blamed we are blamed for situations that we have no control over that is the problem the police for the longest time there's been a gap a huge distrust between the police and communities but simply what we talk about marginalized women but simply with that the men at the minorities this was an opportunity bearing in mind that the alleged suspect is one of their own for them to treat this situation you know in a very sensitive manner they lost that opportunity that's not only a shame i think that the price was replete for that it should not be swept under the carpet and obviously another issue in recent years you seek about we speak
12:09 am
about black lives matter and that movement in the united states is an issue in this country as well you just touched on it there you said that and there have been many black women many women belonging to ethnic minorities who have been the victims of violence sexual violence domestic abuse and they just don't get the attention that a case like this regarding sever sarah ever art has received why is that the case. inequality of area it's the same thing that's exactly will be explained in the experiences of black and ethnic minorities it intersects the inequalities intersects we live in a toxic environment where one oppression feeds the other so only talk about domestic violence and the way that the experiences of black the bed their debt their debts or any bulk of experience is not given the same level of scrutiny at tension by the police or the media it reflects the ongoing structural inequalities
12:10 am
that it is in every other area it's racism structural racism right back in the heart of it and this is the problem with what's been in the event institutionally racist society where as a matter of race there's always preference and there's always priority given to enable white supremacy thank you very much for being interesting to talk to you how we can get you back some time dr and show. joining us there over skype here in london. also this case has also drawn parallels with another dividing line challenging london's police force who just touching on at their race a previous investigation into the metropolitan police's handling of the death of black teenager stephen lawrence in 1903 found the force was institutionally racist
12:11 am
they are logan was one of the u.k.'s most highly decorated black police officers a former superintendent betrayed by john boy in the b.b.c. drama small x. it depicted his fight against racism in british policing and i'm very pleased to say joins us now dr leroy logan joins us now from london and so you would have been hearing to the interview that we had just there obviously there's a great deal of motion people are feeling very passionate about this how would you say the police's tactics at the vigil for sarah ever are what does that do to trust what does that do to public confidence and perception of the police. force a major and go the way in which the robust response to a vigil seemed to be totally out of context totally out of sync with the reasons who people who feel compelled to come to. common
12:12 am
to show solidarity for the 1st or all of service and of course the circumstances beyond it and instead of being a light touch. policing there were heavy handed element at the end which looks terrible on camera and is cannot be justified because even though there may be coded regulations the human rights act actually states that people still have the right for peaceful gathering and a vigil can be them is the most people of that so are going to think that the met police understands what they cost and i truly believe the commissioner should really question his ition she says she's not going but i really think she's past their sell by date what is causing this disconnect this division between the the police force and the communities they serve this is not mere no i mean i was one of
12:13 am
them the police so say members who said that the police service was institutionally racist 20 odd years ago in 1908 and it was because there was that disconnect especially when it come to working in partnership with minority communities and that's why this liberal arts case was an iconic case where there was a lot of learning and we saw a lot of learning through him after mcbride mentation. really improving the internal culture of the organization to be more reflective of the community and of course how to improve service delivery hate crime family aids officers the race relations amends and build and grudges and not barriers and we've seen that being eroded over the last 10 years for austerity and citizen focus off the safe unable to and safe schools offices they've been lost and there's this disconnect and unfortunately people are not responding to police officers in the way that they
12:14 am
should and police officer not understand in the communities they serve. what about the way in which women are proud of victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence. well police have always had a bad track record you know they're not only got a bad problem around race they have a real problem about women's issues and dealing with domestic violence and rape cases i remember as a probation constable seeing a major goal about how rapes were being investigated many early eighty's and you know that unfortunately that legacy is passed on and so when you've got cases that are so emotive and they're not being dealt with with it it's on gender issues or domestic violence rape except truck or you race equality issues and any racial profiling if you're not getting to grips with this then people are going to lose their trust and confidence and one of the cornerstones of police legitimately
12:15 am
legitimacy is trust and confidence if people don't trust you they won't work and you can't police on your own you can't stop and search where a problem you can't arrest your way or the problem you've got to work in partnership with the community and that's what's missing. you have a unique perspective on this your father was brutally beaten by police and yet you yourself decided to become a police officer what how would you describe the toll that it's all taken on u.n. and explain to me why change has been. so slow. well when i joined in 83 being gone through the trauma and see my father beaten up well i didn't actually see it but i saw the results of it and i still went ahead with joining the police are i realized that you can only change from within you can't steer a ship from the shore you gotta be inside in the captain's cabin i was my worst net nightmare to join your organization that testosterone driven much of culture and
12:16 am
that doesn't celebrate difference diversity in essence so as a result of that i had to really push through and one of the major push rules was setting up the black police association in 94 giving evidence in lawrence so we got rid of a lot of the casual racism and b. got more accountability and transparency sprue the stephen lawrence recommendations and we had independent oversight through the steamer and steering group and that was chaired by jack straw and subsequent labor home secretaries with neverland during law and so we had that real strew tany unfortunately that 10 year progression from $99.00 to 2000 and being eroded by a totally different political emphasis of the last 10 years so it's like 10 steps forward and now it's 10 steps back and we starting to see how the insensitivity ah policing is playing itself out beyond race inequality issues that black lives
12:17 am
matter brought out but also. how women are being treated openly in a very very heavy handed way and it's the proper war and i really think that the met is in total denial especially the officers at the top and then they need to get a grip or move away get people who know what they're doing. thank you very much for joining us on the news out this evening leroy logan. and i want to move on to our other top stories and they've been isolated deaths and hospital admissions in several european nations now island has halted the rollout of astra zeneca as coronavirus vaccine it follows several other nations and regions with investigations underway into the incidence of blood clots in people who've received but the world health organization says there's no proven link china how reports on this now from london arlen's decision to call a temporary halt to the use of the oxford astra zeneca vaccine could have far
12:18 am
reaching consequences the country's immunization north already pointed to a safety alert raised this week by the norwegian medicines agency after 4 health care workers suffered serious blood clotting events within 14 days of receiving the astra zeneca jab denmark and iceland have raised similar concerns with the ripple effect extending to bowl garia and as far afield as thailand. the irish move was described as precautionary we will continue to monitor the situation and if we can be satisfied that these events are coincidental and not caused by this vaccine we will reassess the situation the u.k. based astra zeneca has defended its vaccine saying that safety data collected with 17000000 doses administered so far shows no evidence of increased risk of palmeri embolisms or thrombosis pending further investigation the european medicines agency says the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks and the world health
12:19 am
organization says its rollout should continue it really doesn't mean that it is potentially unsafe it is been tested widely now there have been no reported problems beyond what you would normally expect with a vaccine with any razzi and really the occurrence of these rocks against the globe. is no greater in the vaccinated population run it is in the unvaccinated cooperation so why why regulators in these countries have taken the decision beyond being extremely cautious is not really clear inevitably now concerns will linger the oxford astra zeneca vaccine has been beset by problems including political disputes and delivery delays now add safety concerns it's important to note that no one is alleging a conclusive link between the vaccine and these blood clotting events but the longer the doubt is allowed to persist the worse the effect on trust therefore the
12:20 am
overall vaccine rolled out jonah help al-jazeera london. now brazil's co-head 19 infection rate is continuing to rise with another 76000 new cases and almost 2000 deaths recorded on saturday but police were forced to step in and stop a huge party overnight in one city armed officers broke up an illegal. gathering of nearly 600 people in a windowless south palo nightclub the city is on the code red restrictions which includes a 2 week posh lockdown with non-essential businesses in eastern hospitality closed the number of cases is surging in brazil right now at least 12000 people have died in the past week this is more than anywhere else in the world the country's recorded around 100000 deaths since the start of the year it's being driven by a more infectious variant 1st detected in the amazon region but on china joins us live now from when is iris and despite the gravity of the figures we just
12:21 am
mentioning that daniel have been protests against lockdown in brazil. they have this is specifically in the cell paolo states of paolo city it's 44000000 population so as big or bigger than many countries but the measures being imposed by the governor there are to try to fight against these some of these grim figures that you've just been mentioning the fairly tight restrictions all non-essential businesses closing a nighttime curfew schools closing religious religious worship stopped individuals will be going be able to go into their places of worship but no actual services and the people have come to the streets in huge numbers many of them supporters of president job also not all waving the brazilian flag and they said no we don't accept these restrictions we want to carry on as we are we want to go to work and we want to carry on partying as you mentioned with this this party with
12:22 am
over 600 people very few of them wearing masks in a poorly ventilated ventilated venue that was only one of several parties that police broke up on saturday night sunday morning another one there were 200 people in a clandestine. casino in sao paolo on the earth or it is in sao paolo how find the owners of over a 1000 venues for breaking their restrictions really pulling both ways you have the governor of the state of south paolo imposing these tough measures saying he wants to stop the hospitals from being overrun they are overloaded at the moment but he wants to try to prevent a complete meltdown at the same time you have people supporting the president's job also not all who has always undermined attempts to fight back or the coronavirus out on the streets continuing to party continuing to go to the beach and really a huge conflict there between 2 sides of brazilian society while at the same time
12:23 am
as you mentioned those figures that infections of deaths continue to. grim stories emerging from right across the country with these people one variant affecting people severely but also the measures on the mind to try to fight the virus causing many of these deaths and infections lucene health minister is in the region in america losing their jobs and under an number of them it looks as though the latest health minister in brazil also facing more scrutiny. certainly does this is what got us way low he took office in september of last year he was the 3rd health minister appointed by president since the pandemic began. not to put a lot of faith in him like himself a military man but there has been pressure it's been reported to have him removed
12:24 am
because of these grim statistics it's reported that he's talking about health issues as a way of removing himself from office president both the nahal has been talking to potential candidate in brasilia a former cardiologist has been to see him he's likely to appoint in the next day or so she will be the 4th health minister since the pandemic began but very easy to blame health ministers or to blame the varians when the measures imposed to try to fight the pandemic have been as poorly implemented as they have been in brazil so those numbers keep rising will the new health minister be able to make any changes that we're going to have to wait and see all right thank you very much and when is ours daniel shaima now britain's foreign secretary says it's unacceptable that iran is pursuing a 2nd case against nazneen the gari radcliff a british iranian woman who's been detained in iran since 2016 is appeared in court
12:25 am
on a new charge of propaganda against the system now seen finished a previous 5 year sentence for a separate conviction and last week. well she knows he's got a right if as a project manager for a charity and says she visited iran with her young daughter to celebrate the country's new year and to see her parents she was arrested at the airport in april 26th and convicted of plotting to overthrow the government in september she served most of her 5 year sentence in tehran evin prison before being placed under house arrest dance last march because of the corona virus pandemic authorities removed her ankle tag last sunday but immediately summoned had to court again on the new charge. so i'm now joined via skype by means of iraq husband richard radcliffe i know that eve voice your concerns about. mental emotional physical health in the past how is she now. thank you very much
12:26 am
yeah it's been a tough day she's always enjoyed working dakota go on a relief that the court process is over a relief that she's not in prison tonight waiting to see what the sentence will be and yes as you certainly are sorting out the remit this has been a 5 year old deal which she took one for the church committee and a new one. out scoured a huge toll on her. last week submitted to them to the british government you know home medical for. her treatment is tantamount to torture and you know i do worry how long this ordeal continues how long until it can spot again. how did you receive a response from the british government to the submission on torture so we. you know which was probably discussed i think we asked them to to review the evidence
12:27 am
and to observe to the realm of origins that she's been tortured they are similar how would you like to see the government here approach this. so i think that's name is being held over a british. government dispute over money she's a hostage no money i would like the government to make it clear what is an acceptable. risk to getting her but they should also be make it absolutely clear that you cannot shoot him or her innocent person. is over are 2 different things they could do turn to distant had months wants to take you. and you will see which ones the military courts the most recent request we had was for them to turn try what happened. that they declined to company or. we will see when a fan is the bunch of you can be very strong it is evident in his statements today condemning the court appearance but we'll see what happens in the coming days. it
12:28 am
did not see any self anticipate release at the end of her sentence last week before the announcement of this new set of charges because you are obviously aware of that the broader diplomatic backdrop and. there is a. in a larger context that dictates what happens next that's very fair and no i think i.e. i was not expecting a record taken off from a list that was it was a positive step compared to what we were expecting and i thought she wouldn't characterize until she was suddenly released so i don't think we were expecting that but we were expecting some kind of a ruse to hold on to her we got the course summons and have the court hearing it's not clear at this stage what length the sentence is going to get the judge said listen this is the last hearing which is going to creep in drugged out for many many things but we'll wait i mean every time we've been to judge someone to school
12:29 am
or any time or lawson's been to record there which can get convicted in the works maximum sentence will await to see what happens next. q do you think that the issue of so-called hostage diplomacy the imprisonment the detention of individuals that are used as. bargaining chips and negotiations or diplomatic issues is something that gets enough attention by particular western governments so i think it's something that's grown even the time that we've been held. in the whole wave of people taken in the beginning or privately along 1000000 years of it and then even most of subsequently. and i think there's been a reluctance on the part of most western governments to what to call it hostage taking to to acknowledge that states can do it in the top states but certainly iran proximo more and certainly
12:30 am
a reluctance to work to challenge the practice so the british government for instance would prefer to talk about consular cases and treat nothing like she's a regular case were british and that's got into trouble overseas and need some help so i think there is an interim state and there is a need to look at what are the reasons why iran is taking hostages and address those and then also look at that distance into most in the practice of the moment it's a reason effective tactic we're in the thirty's and that's what's grown richard radcliff thank you very much for joining us thank you. in watching the news hour live from london still ahead on the program u.k. police now want an investigation into british born us not a sad husing a syrian 1st lady of inciting terrorism. and in the death of a legend the boxing world has been paying tribute to one of the sport's all time greats.

12:33 am
this dream on out is there. for what $300.00 media tell it's going to miss you and visit such a small place where everyone always everyone it's great easy to corrupt the system . really good. riddance so. it's a film that helped bring down the corrupt government and led to the jailing of the former president. al jazeera investigates stealing paradise. in the. school. i'm back the main stories now thousands of people in london are protesting over the

12:35 am
before that's when the security services shot dead at least 6 people in a crackdown in the 2nd city and injured many more but with the death toll rising a call for revolution from the former vice president now leading a civilian administration in hiding. this is the darkest moment of the nation and the moment when the dawn is close this is the time for us citizens to test their resistance against the dark moments speaking of a new federal democracy the message was clearly aimed at bringing diverse ethnic groups together to overcome the army and their coup. when forming a resistance unity plays a vital role despite our differences in the past this is the time we must grip our hands together to end the dictatorship for good. these diverse ethnic groups are scattered across myanmar's borderlands divided they don't represent a significant threat to the military who've been fighting them for decades but
12:36 am
united they could be a considerable obstacle. but there's long been distrust between these groups and the n l d the national league for democracy bringing them together would be no small task. in peaceful defiance protesters break the curfew to honor the dead in campbell the vigils across the country you never heard nothing of them in no we come out on the street to show that we are against military dictatorship by breaking the kofi order imposed by do. review continue fighting that is the military continues with its brutal tactics on the streets calls for a revolution that's not so peaceful may gain increasing support tony ching al-jazeera now monday will mark 10 years since protests began in syria which would descend into a civil war more than 13000000 syrians either internally displaced or sheltering

12:38 am
in sight there could be further displacement. at least. i. drive which is actually. syria's economy is collapsing and international aid organizations are warning it is pushing millions deeper into poverty many are jobless and hungry the united nations says 60 percent or $12400000.00 syrians don't have regular access to enough food. but economic uncertainty is not the only challenge there are those who fear for their safety in the absence of a political settlement some are vulnerable where they are and need protection like

a policeman or a police investigation is underway in person into the wife of syria's president. assad is accused of inciting and encouraging terrorist acts during the war in syria she faces possible prosecution and the loss of her british citizenship. now police in the netherlands of forcibly broken up an anti lockdown demonstration they used horses and water cannon to disperse hundreds of people gathered in a park in the hague home of the dutch parliament or voters in the netherlands all go to the polls on wednesday in the 1st major european elections is the start of the pandemic campaigning joining the lock down is keeping most candidates what away from voters but at last in our poll it's one right when party is making a notable exception. and government from food off the market is style has been compared with former us president donald trump ignoring covert restrictions the leader of the anti immigration populist party is trying to attract voters by
12:41 am
calling covert 19 a common flu and blaming international conspiracies for being behind the pandemic. under-served people at the moment are in the hospital right suffering from corona many people in an island have died more than 15000 so it's a serious issue here that's a normal number for a series flu we've had that for thousands of years every year just have complained of hospitals are full they can't cope with the work flow. well those stories are highly disputed would ask party became the largest just 2 years ago but fell apart after racist anti-semitic messages were made public now is stepping in to a growing sentiment against a lockdown with an american style campaign based on conspiracy theories tax on the media. sentiment in the netherlands against lockdowns has grown especially after a nighttime curfew was introduced in january riots broke out in several cities and
12:42 am
covert testing facilities were attacked far right parties like form for democracy appeared to be benefiting from this anger economy understand i can go anywhere i want to and even if i didn't go out i should have freedom that has been taken away from us and that is horrible. i like what he says about freedom i want schools to reopen i'm a 1st year student and i can barely follow my studies because it's all online i was minus. the girl. deaths party is polling around 3 percent of the vote another anti immigration party the freedom party of wilderness is predicted to win around 20 percent and become the 2nd largest like it did 4 years ago the 1st time it's not about immigration or islam it's about corona yeah it is and i'll take a. responsible viewed as well as a people because we are really in for in the public health as well in making that a big issue not a problem for you that's not about immigration as well if you look at the polls
12:43 am
