6:18 am
that and muddied the message. there are now a wide range of rally and cries at protests like wanting to win countries back from so called dictor tauriel governments. they're a conspiracy theories and miss is of hate violence and even anarchy far right. groups in their political allies are seeing an opportunity to spread their messages and are increasingly showing up to and in some cases, organizing rallies. ha, ha ha. they want to vaccinate us by force. now they even want to vaccinate our children, who do not need such experimental vaccines. in canada, thousands led by truck drivers gathered in ottawa to protest vaccine mandates. some of the organizes a well known far right activists, including one who says the vaccine was created to de, populate the white race and another who spreads is lam, a phobia. prime minister justin trudeau, who on monday announced he had tested positive the coven 19, says, protest is,
6:19 am
are being misled to the politicians. exploiting people's fears. i ask you to think long and hard about the consequences of your actions. most protests around the world have been peaceful, attended by people who have genuine concerns about vaccines, but their message is increasingly being lost in a misinformation campaign being waged by others who have ulterior motives. wayne hey al jazeera. now denmark has become the 1st e country to lift all crew of iris restrictions, and that's despite a surgeon infections over the past 2 weeks. and it's relying on the high vaccination rate to ward off the on the comm variance, acceleration passes and masks are no longer required and to restaurants, shops or even public transport. pfizer has asked us drug regulators the position to offer its cove at 1900 vaccine to children. his youngest, 6 months old trials for the age group began in may last year. the dr. to vaccinate
6:20 am
children has been spurred old by the outcome variable. now if approved, vaccinations could start by the end of the month. genie fischer is an associate research profession professor of micro biology and immunology at georgetown university medical center. she says, regulators will have to weigh at the risk of infection for younger children against the results of clinical trials. while children have have been shown to be at lower risk of developing severe disease than older adults, most certainly, they are still vulnerable to infection. and during the search of the omicron variant in the past month, in the u. s. rates of hospitalization for the youngest children under 5 years of age search. and they were, they were 3 times higher than rates in older children who are eligible for vaccination. so why that lower risk? it's certainly not, not negligible. the clinical trials are not on enormous numbers of kids. i think the number was about 1700 kids. so they,
6:21 am
the doses have been shown to be safe that the dose of thing kill them to 2 small children is much smaller than the adult. those about the 10th of the dose that adults and teens get the, the size of the clinical trial is very carefully constructed, to be able to look at potential side effects. and the, the data that was initially filed by pfizer and that will be reviewed very carefully by the federal regulatory agencies with input from expert outside advisors is to, to look at that safety. and so far, the early reports are that the safety profiles very good. and that they will certainly be extraordinary scrutiny on that. in the next few days, johnson and johnson, 3 of the largest drug distributors in the us, have agreed to pay $590000000.00 to native american tribes to settle claims they fuel the fuel epidemic. indigenous american communities of suffered high addiction

6:23 am
him where robin christiane up. your last one is an animal rights lawyer who has an obvious bond with his pets. but his love and concern for animals goes much further . he's presented us citizens initiative to delegates for drafting chiles. new constitution is called they aren't furniture and government member of our goal in limbo is all over the world. animals are legally classified as movable property like furniture over which a person can have ownership or days ago. but we understand that animals are much more. there are beings with emotions that feel pain and pleasure. abdulla believes constitutional recognition, but would help promote laws from better protection of animals when a creditor, chili's constitutional convention is committed to promoting citizens participation . and one way is to allow people to present initiatives on line delegates would be obliged to consider and debate them if they obtain at least $15000.00 signatures. this is a time consuming exercise to say the least. there's everything from the constitutional
6:24 am
right to acupuncture, the right to highways without paying toes and to bar people found guilty of corruption from holding public office. but only about 50 out of the $2500.00 proposals appear to have obtained enough signatures. the ones who made the cut include the right to abortion, to private property parents deciding over their children's education, an independent central bank, the defense of the environment, free and quality health care in education, and the animal rights measure that got nearly 20000 votes for his part architect, sebastian gray, but support for an initiative to guarantee decent housing for all. that means that it's and it's interesting that the proposals represent a kind of x ray of what chileans want. and obviously those proposals that are sufficiently serious and supported will not only be debated but possibly incorporated into the new constitution. the president of the convention causes
6:25 am
unprecedented level murder. this is the 1st constitutional process of its kind and surely for us, it's clearly something very new. because unlike in some other countries, chileans have never had the right to present legislative initiative. delegates have until july 4th, to present the draft of the new constitution on which the hopes of millions of julians for a more inclusive society are writing. to see in human al jazeera santiago, dozens of journalists and doctors, no salvador, a military grade spyware. technology has a news to hack their phones. government critic say it's the president's latest tactic to silent opposition. john homer reports from the capital son, salvador julio everett. these phones have been acting strangely. she re lives the moment she realized for sure that it was bugged. well, i was writing and i remember that i got the 1st email in but that mom and we

6:27 am
is in father and to public scrutiny is in fuller and through accountability. and while there's still no, no hard evidence that the, the spine came from the government. everything seems to point to the doorsteps of a similar in government, it which strongly denies the fund bugging. but there have been worrying signs that the president doesn't have democracy, the top of his agenda. se critics starting from 2020, when he march soldiers into congress, a shock for a country which only escaped civil war 30 years ago. the president, in turn, is accused independent media outlets like hell father of lying and attacking his government. in 2020, he announced the outlet was under investigation for money laundering. and el salvador, many people are on his side. his approval ratings are in the eighty's. he, i see the, in the working class body of sundries 3 color vasquez puts out that they still

6:29 am
the countries, journalists, lawyers, activists, all those who are critical of him in el salvador. that's the burning question. john homan, ow does it? 2 babies have died in freezing weather in northwestern syria, where snow and rain have destroyed the 10th of hundreds of displaced families. the humanitarian agency says a 7 year old girl and a 2 month old girl died from the cold and it lived province around $2800000.00 people have sought shelton camps after fleeing their homes during serious decade long civil war. while it's a red light in tune is in a group of women hitting the road on motorbike sun, all women, queens bike has crew to attract more drivers to join them in a sport as traditionally male dominated. there are more than $300.00 women antennas here with a motorcycle license, a few ride because it's not widely accepted. we're still not getting lots of most is id is always afraid of a woman who drives
