several major states including germany france spain and italy suspend use of the astra zeneca jab over fears causes blood clots creating another headache for the books already vaccine program. this thing in the u.s. the block struggles to contain a 3rd corona virus wave many countries are being forced to restrictions once again to battle rising infections. though the news a canadian. broken on the streets of montreal while demonstrating against giving puberty blockers to children we speak to him about the incident. i. and this public outcry in the u.k.

after police break up a vigil for a murder victim for flouting covert rules with a bill clamping down on protests only adding to the. high there and thanks for joining us this is our. serious concerns over the safety of the astra zeneca vaccine of prompted major e.u. place to temporarily stop using the thanks lou to spain portugal germany france and italy comes after reports last week of blood clots some one death among those who received the inoculation in denmark correspondent peter all of it 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. the decision 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 allows it doesn't on . the cases that have been flagged that i'll say the normal are very infrequent but if importance this is why spain has joined other countries that have decided to make this temporary and precautionary suspension for the next 2 weeks we will wait for the european medicines agency. these suspensions haven't just been happening in europe we've also seen them in central america in asia and in africa as well we'll 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 to well to take the vaccine in the 1st place we took the temperature of people here in germany and how they feel about the recent issues. and toys and he 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. now without it is not that easy but when there is so much criticism then it should be considered too when it's about new vaccines you always have to be very careful. 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 use vaccination program is moved at a glacial 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 deaths so

maybe we need to take a step back and realize is this 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 alas if you want to do is put this under the rug saying everything is fine because clearly it's not fine and we need to look at the numbers any 21 gets a vaccination there's always risk to that always and we not theirs are and then we go let's take a step back is are we on the right track and then renegotiate. as a 3rd coronavirus wave sweeps its way through europe some governments have been left with no other option but to tighten restrictions aunts again on a day and 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 sorting 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 lock down 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 in the wish very intense become mainstream accounting for more than 60 percent of all cases as infection rates or 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 so let me just show you. the situation is complex stance and is worsening in the paris region vaccines are seen as being the only hope but instead the rollout program has been more issues the e.u. is still so really liking behind the u.k. for example so much so that the germans of even admitted that they are in. this the e.u. $600.00 of the vaccine program is also the only in the farming line calls

a growing from block states for the body which approves stock seems the may to speed things up 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 lock down 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 1 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 spoke to an italian doctor who told us what he thinks of the new law down. only recently 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 of theaters in gyms 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 and a glimmer of hope for here it could be extinguished as the new restrictive measures come into force a new report has shed light on how last year's coronavirus lockdowns left europe's labor market reeling almost 6000000 europeans lost their jobs in the 1st 6 months of 2020 because of the pandemic according to a study by year of found those in low paid jobs have borne the brunt of the economic downturn and is significantly worse off even when compared to the 2008 financial crisis he spoke with political commentator john bricmont about the problem. i think at this point the only solution is vaccination but the problem is dead so the loss of judgment on this so that another variable given the previous policies but the vaccination is very strong on the european union and then there are a lot done to buy a janie's or herschelle vaccine even though some countries do like hungary as far

as i know so we should have as much next in as many vaccines as we can that the bureaucracy slow in doing it is not efficient and for political reasons it's looking to use the person of the chinese vaccine which is in. a canadian activist has been attacked on the streets about trill on demonstrating against giving puberty blockers to children with gender identity issues pre-sales them film the attack on his phone and the footy show several people approach him demand he leave the area and they call him a transfer elster was left with a broken arm after the attack is repeated to him but the traffic. told us about the incident what i do i just go out on the street i have conversations with people about the purity blocking drug because the media if you report on what's going on out of nowhere from the road and i think from my left on the sidewalk about i don't

know how many people 567 it all one woman the referee man they were just i mean i only had about one second notice that bind up me that i will be dying one time children not think that the people who bought it think to me like a 100 percent it's a premeditated attack they knew i was there and they came to get me. on the truck stop the onset of puberty by blocking certain hormones the effect on the last one the children continues to take them but they're still concerns about the lasting impact puberty block is have all mine as is chris else then again for trial 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 that get those 5 years out those years of development are gone and studied also that the end of criticism doesn't even kick right into gear is 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

a 100 miles an hour in the wrong direction because we have political people using that as a wedge issue to achieve their political and so they try to say that if we don't want to give your body blocking drugs that somehow we're against the algae be unity but it has nothing to do with that there's no thinking involved in it they just. you want to be the other gender ok here you go we're going to stop your body and you know so it's going for your new proposed protest legislation as fuel going on to police demonstrations in the u.k. we'll look at that story after this break. seems wrong.

and in. the trail. themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic development only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

anger is mounting in the united kingdom over recent police conduct and plans to toughen the rules that govern protests have themselves led to protests. by. the hundreds so to the streets in london on monday to mourn sarah ever of the 33 year old disappeared earlier this month and was later found police officer has been charged with murder saturday vigil for ever was dispersed by police the fountain coded restrictions led to arrests and clashes sparking a public outcry of the way officers handled the situation recently proposed protests legislation is only added to. 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 as is the case now and includes

the offense of intentionally or recklessly causing a public nuisance secretary has defended the police clampdown on protests joining 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 saw attend protests . the right to protest is the coolest and bottom kristie that the governments do to the mainstream of them more lives being lost during this pandemic u.k. police officers need to go about and extinction rebellion member mccarthy gave us their thoughts on the proposed legislation. this bill is really an attack on the right to protest in britain the penalty that they're proposing after 10 years for peaceful disruptive protests isn't really shocking so if you are a student protest you tuition thieves i know that

a cut in your wages and will protest your department of health bill will work of blocking the way we live because you were fired and rehired. bill we're punishing with up to 10 years in jail it's unprecedented there are restrictions on the right to hold processions on the right to hold assemblies i static events already under the $9096.00 public order exceptions 12 and 14 and what this new bill suggests doing is adding a couple of additional factors that will that would allow senior police officers and conditions to processions and assemble as. though it is state has kept its place as the world's top weapons exporter with a market share roughly equal to that of the next 4 largest arms selling nations that's according to a report by the stockholm international peace research institute over the past 5

years the us is accounted for or the 3rd of the world's arms exports almost twice that of russia which came in 2nd almost half or arms exported went to the middle east and saudi arabia accounting for a quarter of the volume of exports hasn't increased overall the us share of the market has grown i discussed the findings with some and there's a minute senior researcher from the stockholm international peace research institute. it's a so what the u.s. aims at and many other countries also use weapon export supply as a tool of foreign policy so it's not just i want to make money but i want something from foreign policy goal that is in my interest maybe not just the salient interested buyer and if your are to major supplier you have your hands on a lot of the technology to countries want to you can check your demand for policy watch. in the united states hundreds of unaccompanied

migrant children continue to arrive each day at the country's southern border as for fame which normally deals with natural disasters and major emergencies to expand its remit to give them shelter about 8500 youngsters are now living in temporary accommodation for migrants thousands more are stuck in overcrowded border patrol stations many of them have been placed in prison cells that were designed by adults and been held for longer than the maximum 3 day limit that $500.00 children reportedly arrive every day and while politicians are pointing fingers at each other house speaker nancy pelosi sees the problem purely as a legacy of team trump 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 ordered the reunification of migrant children with their families and voiced support for easing citizenship requirements for migrants several republicans blame the new administration for the situation at

the border political commentator jeff chiles believes the problem is only going to get worse. the fact that they're bringing in female just underscores the fact that the biden administration has been lying about the situation from the get go they keep trying to prove who in pretending like it's not a migrant crisis but it's not open up coming humanitarian crisis it's already a crisis is because nobody ever cared about the issue in the 1st place right i mean they they slammed the truck administration for kids in cages even though it was started under the obama administration and trump continued it and he did expand it but now that it's happening under the biden and ministration you no longer hear about kids in cages so you can see that the activist media never really took that issue seriously to begin with there was nothing more than a political weapon now fast forward to now where you have the same exact situation with an administration that seems to not know how to handle it. china's economy is whether the pandemic pretty well 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 how china's skating on one year after it closed its borders to foreign visitors. it's an ambitious rollout of covert 9000 vaccines yet it has a march 14th of 64980000 doses of cold in 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 couple of inches on people think that china has a stable epidemic situation in the risk of infection are relatively low so there is

no need to be vaccinated for the time being for extra protection secondly donna because the cove in 1000 vaccines are rather new products some who go home to see more information about the effect that is 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 $1000000000.00 doses this year meanwhile as vaccines roll out the chinese economy rolls on a couple in the industry and exports confess investment and consumption recovered steadily long employment and prices were generally stable people's basic livelihoods received guarded and he has not come to me a sustained 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 of the economy's recovery or support from the elements or policies that there is a foundation as well as conditions for china's economy 20000 years momentum of recovery in 2021 and are 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 kickstart 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 r t i'm alex my love it and that wraps it up for this news out thanks so much for

your company and so for me for today here on a stick around more from my colleague andre farmer at the top of the hour and plenty more new stories covered on a website check them up on the dot com. interest rates have created that divide and it said really the grounds for a new civil war i think because those who are allowed to get those 0 percent interest rates are get them through political favoritism not true of merrick those who are being subjected to high interest rates and being cut out of the asset market it 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.

americans love buying homes. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a home and then you know rebel right that's the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. and be really interesting to dial back and think about the longer deeper history housings man in the united states not just that old question of the american dream the bigger question if you dream is for. debate is is it fair for transforming our fleets to compete and women scout of

course in sport. as a society we have decided to categorize the sports based on sex i definitely need to do not think that it's fair for athletes step on porn as pie logical males to compete in the women's category on why do we have gendered sports do you have gender categories in sport because we do treat men and women differently. every single soul beat athletes will we all have biological advantages over each other. tomorrow thing means a lot to me and i think friends are the subjects in a little here because i love to do it. and develop confidence and belief in myself and i've learned the value of hard work and dedication i'm gonna put on doubt. 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 there are many biological free home of these that they will never face do they really think this is fair. i just don't believe it. join me everything on the alex island sure and i'll be speaking to get a feel of the world the politics school those lows i'm sure both of those oh so you've been. one of the worst mass shootings in america was an. elected officials are controlled by could see you know the dangers shooting revealed what. really is and now it's part of the stand as sheen to the american public barely remembers that happens just shows you the power of money in las vegas the powerful showed

that true colors when the pandemic hit the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades and then you have a mayor who doesn't care so here's caroline goodman offering the lives of the vegas residents to the control group to the shiny. deep indifference to the people who have been saved if they were to take an action absolutely. just what machines do they use is a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost. this is a boom bust the one show you can't afford to miss and washington coming up following a record spike over the weekend price has fallen back below $60000.00 straight ahead we analyze the price movement with some boom bust favorites plus the fight for global vaccination has had

a small speed bump as some nations have halted the use of astra zeneca oxford university's vaccine we'll take you inside the ongoing saga and the trade has begun to set in as the u.k.'s exports to the e.u. have cratered to start the year packed show today let's dive right in. and another week and another all time high for big oil is the world's largest crypto currency topped out at just over $61000.00 it's been an incredible run for the digital currency even though as of monday it's fallen back to a. around $56000.00 so what continues to drive this incredible surge for big oil and will it come to an end anytime soon joining us now to discuss the boom bust co-host and crypto analyst ben swan an editorial director with the american institute for economic research jeffrey tucker thank you both for being here it seems like every other monday we're in the same position talking about the latest meteoric rise of bitcoin so ben what happened. and what happened over the weekend

to drive prices so i. see it's kind of interesting so we you're absolutely right we're talking about this all the time now it seems like every single week there's a new high and it's not just a new high i did say it's 5 to $10000.00 higher than we were before which is a pretty significant jump and watching kind of move through this meteoric pace there's a couple things happening one is institutional investors.
