a bill clamping down on protests. by their very good morning this is r.t. internet. serious concerns over the safety of the astra zeneca vaccine have prompted major players to temporarily stop using the. they include spain portugal germany france and italy comes after reports last week of blood clots and one death among those who received the an occupation in denmark correspondent peter oliver has the latest. health officials and senior politicians from across europe said that the astra zeneca vaccine is going to be suspended in the country this is while an investigation is carried out to determine whether there's any link between those who have the vaccine and the development of blood

clots inside and what the decision is a purely precautionary measure astra zeneca is used as a vaccine by millions of people in many countries around the world we're very aware of the significance of this decision and have not taken it lightly i don't limit on the decision to me which was also taken in accordance with our european policy is to suspend vaccinations with astra zeneca as a precaution hoping to resume it quickly if the opinion of the. national not to figure out the cases of that have been flagged up that are outside the normal course very frequently but if importantly see if you get this is why skein has joined out of countries that have decided to make this temporary and proportion of a suspension for the next 2 weeks we will wait for the european medicines agency minor beta these suspensions haven't just been happening in europe we've also seen them in central america in asia and in africa as well will be hoping to find out more information on where this investigation into any potential link is going on

thursday there's going to be a meeting then between the world health organization and the european medicines agency it was the a.m.a. that 1st gave astra zeneca its vaccine the green light for use in europe and they've been carrying out an investigation since last week when suggestions of a potential link between the the vaccine and blood clots 1st emerged astra zeneca themselves say that there's no evidence of an increased risk while the world health organization says that vaccination outweighs any potential risk that could be there but public perception of the vaccine is crucial to convincing. people too well to take the vaccine in the 1st place we took the temperature of people here in germany and how they feel about these recent issues this is and toss in the seems to be the right decision to pause it spurts maybe it's the 1st step to getting rid of astra zeneca completely it is disappointing i don't know what the reasons are if they are

justified or unjustified but they make this whole vaccination campaign so bureaucratic. it's crowded out and it is not that easy but when there is so much criticism now it should be considered too when it's about new vaccines you always have to be very careful of and that's why surely when it comes to vaccines you should be very cautious and if there is a slightest suspicion then it has to be stopped the e.u. the vaccination program has moved to the glade seal pace and being beset by problems the e.u. commission vice president even admitted that there had been failures when it came to europe's vaccine rollout which has seen it lag behind many other countries including the united kingdom and the united states you know we're starting to see now patients have these tremendous reactions i mean sometimes people just get a little bit sick flu like symptoms now we're starting to see an aflac reaction like allergic reactions we see platelet problems and now we see even debts so maybe

we need to take a step back and realize as us the right medication or back station for these 'd patients and we also need to ask the questions as physicians does every person need to be vaccinated and vaccines just create herd immunity there are a lot of people who maybe already had the virus like i'm pat and i have antibodies so why would i need a vaccine alessi you want to do is put this under the rug so everything is fine because clearly it's not fine and we need to look at the numbers and each one anyone gets a vaccination there's always risk to that always a we need to look at are these numbers acceptable risk or at least number of exceptionally high risk that we should look at this vaccine. let us we always see what the new factors are and then we get what's your step back is are we on the right track in really gaucherie. as a 3rd coronavirus way sweeps his way through europe some governments have been left with no other option than to tighten restrictions once again. he looks at how

europe is preparing for the worst. european countries were hoping that by this spring it would be the beginning of the year and for the coronavirus crisis there was a promise that a year of lock downs and curfews would be sufficient in that we would be starting to return to normal instead of 3rd wave is rising as variants of the virus are once more forcing difficult decisions italy is taking a step back with most of the country returning to look down. from the data we currently have with the spread of the british mutation we would argue strongly for returning immediately to a lock down to avoid a strong 3rd. in germany that's a question that's also on people's lips too from the data we currently have and with the spread of the british mutation we would argue strongly for returning immediately to a lock down to avoid

a strong 3rd wave here in front the english variant has become mainstream accounting for more than 60 percent of all cases as infection rates the prime minister has described the situation as being on a razor edge in paris intensive care unit so overwhelmed with patients having to be transferred elsewhere in the country either france is clearly on borrowed time as you know the english variant is now in the majority this variant is not only more contagious it is also more deadly our resuscitation capacities are such rated the head of the french national health agency who had repeatedly said that the curfew was working is now backtracking admitting it hasn't been enough to let interest. situation as a complication tag and his worsening. vaccines are seen as being the only hope but

instead the love. could be my fishy feel so feeling like i'm not going to believe you for example so let's tell you the truth jim you could leave me to the day you are into this the e.u. so firmly over the facts you could got me so sick the early in the firing line pools of rolling from the book state to the cold to cruise the sea was thinking you're made to speak. their crystal we would all be very happy if you would change your working i was in the european medical agency and the coming months to 24 hours a day and 7 days a week and not approve new vaccines in 3 months but in 3 weeks and there's no surprise europeans feel lost and eager to vent their anger despite all of the restrictions.

the 3rd wave of the covert crisis and more luck isn't what everyone was expecting after a year that's already seen so many restrictions and losses and so much grief the idea that european countries could continuously now find themselves in the art of lockdowns for some time to come is something that will certainly hit a nerve and test everyone's patience so let's even ski paris. we had from our guests in italy who told us what they thought about the new lockdown. well interesting it seems that the introduction of a lockdown is part of

a wider strategy this is upsetting because we need to decide who is going into lockdown how and for how long a month ago we were told the infection rates were dropping and in early march there were talks about the possibility if it isn't jim's reopening and 2 weeks later everything changed it was again decided that the situation was bad so we are wandering in a fog that causes confusion drives people to despair especially restaurant owners and gym workers people who have invested a lot in their businesses but have suffered heavy losses and have not yet opened so all this is wasting time only dealing with life in matthew gray and local uni. and in and out of the. real world and bring home the women from only going to. college. who will be seen a preview of what woman would want to. prove in

what we. believe in it wish. and a glimpse of optimism offered by the e.u.'s mass vaccination program could be facing quickly as new restrictive measures come into force leaving the blocks already battered labor market in dire straits according to a new report almost 6000000 europeans lost their jobs in the 1st 6 months or 2020 because of the pandemic according to a study by a year of found those in low paid jobs have been hit significantly more than even back in the 2008 financial crisis we spoke political commentator john bricmont about the problem. i going at this point the only solutions like the nation that the problem is. so the loss of judgment on this so they've been avoiding given the previous policies but the vaccination is very slow now in the european union and then the whole are going to buy a janie's abortion back scene even though some countries do like hungary as well

single so as much maxine as many maxine as we in that the bureaucracy slow in doing it is not efficient and for political reasons it's for looking to use the hershon of the chinese vaccine which is in. anger is mounting in the u.k. over recent police conduct and plans to toughen the rules that govern protests which have themselves led to protests. i was with $106.00 to the streets of london on monday to mourn sarah ever on the 33 year old disappeared earlier this month and was later found out police officer has been charged with her murder and saturday a vigil forever odd was dispersed by police for flouting covert restrictions and led to arrests and clashes sparking a public outcry over the way offices handle the situation recently proposed

protests legislation as an added to the anger. of the bill being debated this week would give the police new powers to restrict protests it allows officers to impose time and noise limits on all rallies not just marches says the case now includes the offense of intentionally or recklessly causing a public nuisance you case home secretaries defended the police clampdown on protester in the pandemic. more than 125500 lives have been lost to this horrible virus it is for that reason that i'm continue to urge everyone for as long as these regulations are in place not to participate in large gatherings all attend protests . the right to protest is the cornerstone bottom ocracy that the governments do to the mainstream of them more lives being lost during this pandemic former u.k. police officer going to cook human extinction rebellion member donna kelley carter gave us their thoughts on the proposed legislation. this bill is really an attack

on the right to protest in britain the penalties that they're proposing of 10 years for peaceful disruptive protests isn't really shocking so if you are a student protest you to ition pay phone notice and cuts in your wages and will protest you to prop up health the way walk a block the way we live because you were fired and rehired. bill punish you with up to 10 years in jail it's unprecedented there are restrictions on the rights how perceptions on the rights holder symbolised i stuck to events already into the 9096 public order act sections 12 and 14 and what this new bill suggests doing doing. dishes no fact is that we're seeing in place offices. conditions professions that assemblies. come for you

a canadian activist is attacked on the streets of montreal while demonstrating against giving puberty blackest children will hear from the victim to the. interest rates have created the divide and it and really the grounds for a new civil war i think because those who are allowed to get the 0 percent interest rates are i get them through political favoritism not true of america those who are being subjected to high interest rates and and being cut out of the asset market. is also a political ploy by those in power to get more for themselves and to destroy the fabric of the economy and that's heading into serious trouble.

it's seemed wrong. to me to be yet to shape out these days become educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. americans love by and. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a hope and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. of the really interesting back and think about

the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is and for . welcome back a canadian activist has been attacked on the streets of montreal while demonstrating against giving puberty blockers to children with supposed gender identity issues. filmed the attack on his phone for the footage you can see it here shows several people approaching him and then demand that he leave the area and call him a transfer mr olsen was there for the broken arm after one of the attack is repeated lee hit him with a traffic cone and told us about the incident. what i do i did go out on the street i have conversation with people about the purity blocking drug because the media

are cute report on what's going on out of nowhere from the road and i think from my left on that i've walked about i don't know how many people 567. 1 woman the referee men were just i mean i only had about one second notice that find me that way every time one time children cannot keep and. it seemed to me like 0100 percent it's a premeditated act they knew i was there and they came to get me. people to block has a use for children with gender identity issues the drugs in question stop the onset of puberty by blocking certain hormones but in fact only last while the child continues to take them however there are still concerns about the lasting impact that puberty blockers have all mine as is chris else then again if a child goes on puberty blocking drugs from the age of $12.00 to $17.00 and then they come off them. there is no magic time machine to get those 5 years those years of development are gone and studies also that doesn't even pick brayden that you're

going to come up and it takes time for the body to adjust and get going again so what's happening is we have all sorts of young adults now in their twenty's who are each transitioning and canada is going on 100 miles an hour in the wrong direction because we have political people using this as a wedge issue to achieve their political aim that they try to say that if we don't want to if you really barking drug that somehow we're again to be a little nothing to do with that there's no thinking involved in it they just ole you want to be other gender ok here you go we're going to stop puberty and you know . in the u.s. hundreds of unaccompanied migrant children continue to arrive each day at the country's southern border and it's forced fame which normally deals with natural disasters and major emergencies to expand its remit to give them shelter about a $500.00 youngsters an hour living in temporary accommodation for migrants

thousands more stuck in overcrowded border patrol stations many of them have been placed in prison cells designed for adults and the been held for longer than the maximum 3 day limit about $500.00 children reportedly arrive every day and while politicians are busy pointing fingers at each other house speaker nancy pelosi says the problem purely as a team trumps legacy what the administration has inherited is a broken system at the border and they are working to correct that in the children's interests since becoming president joe biden's been reversing some of donald trump's immigration policies he's ordered the reunification of migrant children with their families and voiced his support for easing citizenship requirements for migrants of all republicans however have blamed the new administration for the situation at the border political come to jeff charles believes the problem will only get worse. the fact that they're bringing in fema just underscores the fact that the biden administration has been lying about this situation from the get go they keep trying to do it in pretending like it's not

a migrant crisis but it's not an upcoming humanitarian crisis it's already a crisis and despite what house speaker nancy pelosi says this is not chance making this is this is squarely at the feet of president joe biden if you look at the t. shirts they're wearing they say biden let us in you've got the press interviewing these folks and they're telling the press biden promised us that he would lead us in that he would give us a place in the in the united states of america all throughout the campaign biden was talking about how he was going to ease immigration restrictions how he was going to reverse the policies of the trumpet ministration and make it easier for people to come here legally and illegally so it can be no wonder that that they are coming here and that biden did cause this with his rhetoric and with his campaign team putting that out there this issue is going to keep getting worse and worse over the next 4 years because of biden and ministration does the know what to do about it they made a promise that resulted in the situation and now they have to figure out

a way to fulfill it in a way that's not going to offend the the far left and the more moderate moderate wing. china's economy has weathered the pandemic fairly well and even managing to grow in 2020 now with this ambitious vaccination program the country's hoping to get international travel going once again we take a look at that china is getting on one year after closing its borders to foreign visitors. it's an ambitious rollout of covert 900 vaccines the edges of march 14th with 64900000 doses of coping 1000 vaccines have been administered even though china says that it has the corona virus under control the country has accelerated its vaccination program with plans to immunize 40 percent of its population by the end of june and up to 80 percent of its 1400000000 people by the summer of 2022 feeling a lack of urgency domestically china has committed to sending approximately 10 times more doses abroad than it's distributed at home according to the national

health commission there are a couple of reasons for this. people think that china has a stable epidemic situation in the risk of infection is relatively low so there is no need to be vaccinated for the time being for extra protection and secondly because the cove in 1000 vaccines are rather new products. to see more information about the effect that said teams have been dispatched around the country to oversee the vaccination program there are 4 vaccines currently approved in china which has a production capacity that will top 1000000000 doses this year meanwhile as vaccines roll out the chinese economy rolls on. the industry and exports confessed investment and consumption recovered steadily long employment and prices were generally stable people's basic livelihoods received guarded to me this is a steady recovery trying to strong recovery from colvin 1000 is often credited to its aggressive lockdowns at the beginning of the pandemic now unlike many other

nations which are still completely locked up china is planning to go as far as to remove capacity limits for performances and entertainment venues in low risk areas of the country. as things stand the predictions are that the current situation which is relatively good by some standards will only get better judging from the momentum i.d. carney has recovered or support from the elements or policies there is a foundation as well as conditions for china's economy to continue its momentum of recovery in 22.10 and we're also positive about it adding to its effort to grow the economy and open up even further after nearly a year of closing its borders to foreign visitors china has launched a system of so-called virus passports to kick start international travel. healed as the world's 1st virus passports the program is in its infancy and while it is not completely clear how it will work internationally many believe it is another step in encouraging people to get vaccinated at home and abroad while strengthening

trying his economy for our t.v. i'm alex mahal of it. and you are up to date joining me for more on top stories at the top of them. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. debate is is it fair for transforming our plates to compete in women's categories and sports. as a society we have decided to categorize sports based on sex i definitely need to do not think that it's fair for athletes that when porn is pile article males to

compete in the women's category. come. on why do we have gender or do you have gender categories and sports because we do treat men and women differently. every single beat athletes all we all have biological advantages are for each other . are the thing you thought of me and i think there are those of you here as a whole to do it. and develop confidence and belief in myself and i've learned the value of hard work and dedication i'm gonna run down. that these men say that they feel like a woman and they will not ever know what it's like to feel the loss of a baby her maybe biologically every home of these that they will never do they really think this is fair. i just don't believe it.

americans love by and homed. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a hope and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. be really interesting to dial it back and think a balance. the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that question of the american dream but the bigger question if you dream for. starters financial survival john today was all about money laundering 1st to visit
