country but it turns out some women are facing horrific battles of their own imagine 4000 people a brigade that can be deployed anywhere without very same number of women both surfing and veterans have now come forward with shocking experiences in the army from voting and harassment to serious sexual assault when it's to make a complaint often to appear to treat somebody here simply amos and makes out women feel like she's just blame like she was asking for each everywhere else in the welsh military sexual trauma is recognized in yeast in a child that parents should be able to identify that the subject traumatic puts a name to h. and people can access help in this country it just didn't recognize the sexual trauma or the issue has long been swept under the carpet among the ranks according to the ministry of defense figures in the 5 years to 2019 almost 130 sexual violence cases were heard at military court martials just 10 percent resulted in

conviction many of course fail to even reach this stage. the number is increasing year on year with the majority of alleged sexual predators

still among the ranks according to women's testimonies within the current military system it is extremely hard to report a sexual crime and receive support help and justice that women with here teach me a service company and. all that. is criminal act. they feel a need to out the investigation the school was stunned existant so i think if the investigation was ice really and chiefs i think that women in which feel more support i mean on the system or doing the being the worst brought stories to change their evidence and to generally be. almost gaslighted to draw a story and not take it all but while women on the frontline fight to protect their country it seems like their country is failing to protect fan shot edward stashed r.t. in london. and other news tonight australia has asked the european commission to

review its decision to cancel a shipment of astra zeneca vaccines to the country its leader used the new export control mechanism to block the delivery after the company failed to meet its supply contract with the you with more on the story here's our europe correspondent peter oliver. well right at the center of this are 250000 doses of the astra zeneca job they were going to be transported from italy to australia as part of a contract astra zeneca has with the australian government it's really put in place the export control mechanism that the e.u. brought in after astra zeneca failed to live up to its end of the contract it had with the european union now australia has asked the e.u. commission to review this decision but despite that the australian prime minister has said he'll understand where italy is coming from in italy people are dying at the right of 380 and so i can certainly understand the high level of anxiety that

would exist in italy and in many countries or across europe well one of the reasons that scott morrison can afford to be so understanding or not is that australia does have the cillit east to produce its own vaccine in fact the deputy health minister of the state of victoria said it was lucky that they have that in light of these doses from the e.u. not looking like they're arriving in australia any time soon but while the australian side of be understanding there's been some concern expressed particularly by one german m.e.p. he says this sets a well known easy precedent pandora's box opened mystique if transparency mechanism leads defacto to an export ban unfortunately foreseeable and avoidable cops blanch for imitators could have fatal consequences on supply chains global bussell overcovered 19 vaccines escalation preprogrammed the rules as they are at

the moment in the e.u. allow member states to block the shipment of doses of vaccines from their territory if a manufacturer has not fulfilled the contracts that are being signed that was the case with astra zeneca and with italy france has said the. i completely side with italy in this and they french health minister said that if the shoe was on the other foot if it was france that was in this position they would have done exactly the same thing the french foreign ministry has gone even further they've said that a you member state should look inwards and focus on you member states getting vaccines and not what denmark and austria have been doing and looking abroad for cooperation all conviction remains very clear that the most effective solution to meet vaccination needs must continue to be based on the european framework well austria and denmark of both signed a deal to work with israel when it comes to the development of future vaccines the

austrian chancellor and court said the reason that they've done this is in his eyes and from his experience of what's gone on with the use one for all and all for one vaccine for cumin program is that it can't be the only thing his citizens have to rely on discipline to make can only be overcome through global cooperation and defeat we also all agree did rick seaney ruler lars to return to normality in the summer. but we have to prepare are already known for the next stages of the pandemic after the some experts say that in austria alone we will need about $30000000.00 doses in the next few years while looking to the future is also important for a number of all the e.u. nations that are either already in the grip or for preparing for a potential 3rd wave of covert 19 here in germany the main area of concern is

what's going on with the mutated variants of the virus and how they will be affected or affect how they will impact upon vaccines when it comes to vaccines and that vaccine are small though russia's sputnik v job is currently being reviewed by the european medicines agency and that could well be rolled out given the green light to be used across the very shortly. to all of the reporting that what has some of the reaction we've been getting from our guests on this story. it's a country putting its interests ahead of others in the context of the pandemic and vaccines are clearly the only guy in charge of their research the implications or i think alyssa v. for a country orchestra then they would be for poor and around the world we know that as recently as a few weeks ago the vast majority of viable vaccine was in the athlon nations of

the world and poor nations were missing out than other countries that i think the most at risk and vaccination with this is not not nationalism i mean we have such as it in national country contract with us that of them they don't want or expect that this contract that we need we don't have in this moment so a lot of told people he need only our steel die have or they have a lot of people are still taking the coronavirus because we don't have the best seems so is normal that our government led by driving this side to stop the shipment of some buses that are produced immediately to our strong as it is a country not in the european union. now we're saying europe because a court in germany has temporarily blocked intelligence service from monitoring the alternative for germany party pending the judge's final decision the largest opposition party in the german parliament the a.f.p.

really hit back at the proposed surveillance describing it as a purely political effort to undermine it ahead of the general election in september. the aim of the federal office for the protection of the constitution and counter-terrorism is obviously in the short term to weaken us until the elections and in the long term to destroy the only opposition party in parliament that opposes the dissolution of the nation state and unlimited immigration from foreign cultures the federal intelligence service had intended to look into the f.t.c. alleged ties to far right extremists as well as attempts to undermine germany's constitution some of the party's regional branches have reportedly been monitored for some time already and so far the authorities have not commented on either the proposed surveillance of the party or the recent court ruling meanwhile hundreds of and to for activists did rally against the a.f.d. party during a campaign event in the city of often back scuffles with the police broke out when

protesters attempted to reach the stage where party officials were speaking we heard from 2 members of the a.f.p. who told us that the moves against them are purely political. they have the political mandate in order to get us rid of the competitive as a political competitor we have the strongest opposition party and what we have to do is a position is to criticise the government and that's what we do we do it respectively to the euro rescue policy which face it we do it with the migration policy which is very dangerous for us in germany and the population doesn't want it we do it in the energy crisis we will face so we actually have an opposition which really harms the government and that's why they want to get rid of us using this central intelligence surveillance the very same day when the apostle shuts domestic secret service got a cult altar not to call the 850 an extremist group on xmas all

the material was given to leftist papers which are very critical to warts and 50 they got all the material while we are still in the dark and i mean if this is not a sign for a clearly political move i don't know what such a move else could be. well for majority of those who walk to go home because there is an exclusive interview with a senior team member think just talk about what he calls the draining conflict with the establishment and while you're there you can check out a development on one of yesterday stories today because eve barry has now joined damage than in the removing classical to 6 children's books over claims that they are bracing you can meet that person the stories that are to go. less than 2 months in the white house and president biden is already facing a growing migrant crisis on the southern border in the tempter of 1st trump from

a new mexico policy he promised amnesty to millions of illegal migrants already living in the united states which according to one study could lead to a dramatic increase in the country's foreign born population. reports. thousands are at the u.s. border wearing joe biden t. shirts begging the u.s. president to let them in they are among millions currently headed for the same border. but. joe biden doesn't see a crisis brewing as a whole plan to deal with the border issue boils down to hope and

a prayer. yes i do legalize a lot. isn't ministration doesn't see a problem either just a challenge and they're ready to welcome more migrants to leave right prices at the border. the answer is no i think there is a challenge at the border that we are managing and we have our resources dedicated to to manage we are not saying don't come we are saying don't come now because we will be able to deliver safe and orderly process to them as quickly as possible biden move to undo the trumpet ministrations migration policies one of the 1st moves was to set up a juvenile detention facility but he insists this is not kids in cages it's prompted the migrant crisis spawns a lot of crime and just 3 days 1600 migrants were arrested with criminals

reportedly among them and criminal organizations have certainly flourished among communities there are afraid to call the police out of fear of deportation there are people coming across a large number that are criminals a lot of people just looking for a better way of life and. hopefully it's could create a situation where they made the vulnerable to criminal organizations trying to abuse us critics say the white house is just not being realistic about the potential dangers of its policy the green light is on now we're open for business again it is a message to be sending to the traffickers who are smuggling these kids across the border polls show that trumps border wall remains very popular despite that congress is moving forward on what the democrats call sweeping immigration legislation presenting an 8 year path to citizenship for $11000000.00 people in the country without papers such an amnesty would be adding a new layer of u.s.

citizenship roughly the size of california the whole of allow people to come in. or. out of. jobs is going to be a major task to hand them and i think the government the u.s. government. and all of the illegal immigration already a lot of them. do today and then take a lot of the closed 1000000 people out of war and illegal the crowds at the border are getting larger and the country is becoming more polarized maybe gone the immigration debate is getting more intense it's becoming the most polarizing issue in a country that is already quite divided up and artsy new york. the governor of texas is among those who have backing of the his migration policy that

biden ministration was releasing illegal immigrant it illegal immigrants into our communities who had coded that is neanderthal type approach to dealing with the coca situation. and texans also took aim at biden too after he slammed the state govern the session to relax restrictions. in the last the last thing. of all thank you very. much for taking. it still. should not be saying those kind of things that's very insulting oh he. criticized everybody else and. the democrats image of my hair in their boots on the on the mix of the people in this country telling them what to do oh i don't think there's anything accounts for the name calling and i don't think you should be calling us neanderthals if he wants to talk about you need we

can list his 1st thing up there thank you cannot call people names you just have to respond to criticism over the use of the word neanderthal has even come from germany museum felt the need to stick up for the ancient humans and tweety joe biden to say that the species was smarter than you might think on a more serious note texas is still registering over 7 and a half 1000 new coronavirus cases every day but although there's been a decline in infections and deaths in recent weeks and almost 45000 it does have the 3rd highest death toll in the united states however texans still support the decision to relax restrictions. tired of not being able to go and do things we wanted to we're glad to get our masks rocked and go and live life again that's how i feel about it i think it's time to open up to open up the restaurants and everybody go different places and forget today i'm going to my chiropractor

appointment for the 1st time any new year or bring up the business is great if you have to go out your wrist anyway so why not just to get it over with and get back to normal i think it's a good thing to get the economy back make sure we don't have any problems with. i work with the public so i don't have any problem with viruses because politically. speaking here of the worst well the texas governor justified in season citing economic reasons and the start of vaccinations in the state he was said to you that covert hospitalizations were the lowest since october but some do believe the state should be pain allies to and should not receive faxing. texas we hear you you didn't want to be part of our electrical grid and now you've removed your mask mandate and are learning large crowds together we hear you code it is a hoax so you don't need our precious vaccine we'll send it to people who are saving lives by wearing masks why are we wasting vaccinations on texas if texas has

decided to join the side of the virus earlier we spoke to wayne animate about this he's a former libertarian vice presidential nominee. texas has this image of mavericks and rebels and conservatives that have voted it big for donald trump and it's the symbol that democrats and liberals and communists and socialists in america ate and so they're using texas as the whipping boy texas is a symbol of freedom and if it ever comes to it if there's ever a division of our country there's a session or what i like to call a divorce you go our way we go our way everyone separates text this would be the leading state that would say look we're not going to follow biden's rules anymore because this is start to be ridiculous and so i think they've always aimed their guns at census because it represents freedom and it steers the big government big brother bureaucrats it's ridiculous overreaction makes no sense of course there are

cases of course people get the infection it's highly contagious nobody could say oh i have the key to what i would never get sick you have to weigh risk versus reward let everyone live their lives who's under the age of 75 and be very careful and spend a lot of money protecting the people who are over 75. now the u.s. house of representatives has passed a bill and tackling police brutality it isn't often to a troika the man he was choked to death by police in minneapolis last year but the move hasn't pleased everybody who is national police association member state pump . and when they pass a bill like this and name it after somebody who's actually a convicted felon and was allegedly committing a crime at the time. i think that the probably look for actual real victims and not somebody like that who would want to be a police officer if they knew that somebody who's just decided afterwards that

something that you were taught. is illegal because it didn't look good on t.v. and you're being sued personally or you being prosecuted personally for something that either was a mistake or somebody deemed to be a wrong technique but only after you've been done even though it was only retrain because somebody who was anti police doesn't agree with the outcome of the courts or the disciplinary system it doesn't mean it was wrong it just means that they don't agree with it and says a lot of these folks just sort of visceral hatred for bullies it's not that hard to understand that they don't agree with the decisions. the united states who are record spike in does in 2020 with homicide rates rising by 20 percent the largest increase is because it was seen in new york with 40 percent and in chicago with 37 percent place offices across america left the force in the wake of the price has sparked by throwing stethem some citing concerns for their i'm safe they that

despite the diet save a penny thank takes thing pumper again says that lethal force will always be a last resort. results are human beings we deal with human beings all the time the last thing we want to do is take another human being's life and for somebody to be so frivolous as to say that or imply that we don't use deadly force as a last resort is an insult but beyond that officers have always used deadly force as a last resort and especially when you have to go by the individual's perception that person is in a situation dealing with a person that's presumably a threat to their lives and they have to deal with that you know to to keep themselves safe keep themselves alive so i think that that's just an insult to say the police officers don't already used to the force as a last resort the officer from those criticisms i can come down on split 2nd decisions that later on you may be able to say oh well why didn't the officer do

this why didn't the officer do that but when you're dealing with split seconds you have to be able to to act like that and they can't have officers then later on being pulled up on charges. by math kidnappings in nigeria or unfortunately or to coleman almost $300.00 schoolgirls were freed this week just days after being abducted but their reunion ceremony did end in disaster when frustrated parents began throwing stones at the fisher was drawing fire from security forces. examines ny whether the international community should be doing more to improve stability in the region. from gangs kidnapping for ransom the 2 armed groups overrunning entire towns the nigerian government faces a minefield of security challenges.

and. you feel nothing. and there really seems to be no end to nigeria's problems the most recent case thought to hardest slinks to the islamic state attacked a u.n. base trapping 25 aid workers the attack started last night and as information is still coming through i'm outraged to hear the promises of several aid agencies and a hospital were reportedly set ablaze or sustained damage this violent attack will affect the support provided to nearly 100000 people who are desperately in need of humanitarian assistance and protection the long running instability has sparked concern among the international community which has been vocal about the need to tackle the issues in this our whole region as you did a security guarantee in the protection of our fellow citizens makes the fight against islamic terrorism the 1st priority of our foreign policy. tool is of course

we need international corporation above all in the fight against international islamist terrorism cooperation with the usa and cohesion within the e.u. and this international corporation must be improved. the sale is a microcosm of cascading global risks converging in one region. it is a warning sign for a zone requiring urgent attention and resolution so what's being done well france has had troops on the ground since 2014 and there's currently no plan for their apache ation but the numbers are mere a little over $5000.00 with just over a 1000 more to arise and it's not nigeria as a whole that's the focus significant changes will undoubtedly be made to our military system in the sa into course but they were not take place immediately and while efforts in the region have failed to raise any hope they have raised eyebrows

here's what about the stark think tank had to say the reason germany and france is unsuccessful we've been counterproductive strategies in both crisis states is that stabilization is a goal usually plays a subordinate role nigeria is africa's most populous region its biggest economy a large just oil producer but many of its people live in poverty and it's now over run with a worrying a ray of intelligent security threats alarm bells should be ringing and loudly so what will it take before relief is brought to nigeria and it eric spirit does say that a combined effort is now needed to bring an end to the crisis in nigeria. one of the biggest challenge then i get out faces so there is a lot. of mentation. to reduce extremism so imagine laziness where should i be need to walk with france they need to work we

allowed to lie to the person who falsely fast actually came to believe the lie that they were told about their own behavior once a false confession is taken the case is closed and nobody really can tell the difference between a good confession and one that is a. come . come come come. come up again jungle. media. be this howard hughes in we can young george negus along. some young or some she really. just won a. missile some don't johnswort says i had
