the european. vaccine. between. when i was a child. and sticks to you. in a recent t.v. interview the american president to his recent. trade deals with. human rights record. recording of a speech given by the u.k.

. today welcome. taking you through the day's big developments hello. the european. virus vaccine is safe. although certain side effects will continue to be probed countries including spain germany france and italy earlier suspended vaccination following reports of blood clots even fatalities among those who received the job charlotte reports from. well almost a clean bill of health care from boeing the european medicines agency to astra zeneca what she deemed to be safe and effective for the use against. teens saying

that once again the benefits outweigh the risks in using that discrepancy in the records to blood clots which is what they were investigating they said that there was no so we see overall with an increased number of blood clots but they said that they could defend it so if we rule this out and as such astra zeneca will now come with a warning for those who have the job that this could be one of the side effects who are from asian also given to health care professionals who got this job to make sure that they could mitigate any impacts if they see them this is what the a.m.a. had to say after days of in-depth analysis of lab clinical reports reports and further information from the clinical trials we still cannot. definitively link between these cases and the fact. we have seen some very rare case people describing specific and usual.

and. so we'll continue to get information these conditions including additional studies and will keep them very close. well that decision by the mayor was enough for more than a handful of european countries to say that they will restart the vaccination program and we go with the french prime minister going on television on thursday evening saying that he will have the vaccine on friday to show that he trusts in that trust is the big issue the astra zeneca now face is the already we're is about its efficacy for own the persons at the present michael discussed that several weeks ago and here in paris. there is still a lot of trust and. i don't trust the spanx an adult i don't know if it's really true what they say with the media would no longer know what to think it would be but i don't really have confidence in it and anyway i don't want to be

vaccinated we don't have enough perspective it was quite quick so i think it's a little early in my opinion that. the vaccine is brand new i mean we don't know the side effects. those who died but i don't want to take the risk so i'm waiting a little longer. you never know how they made it there is a nurse she died and on top of that there are people who died because of it so i don't really know if it really works or not however that clean bill of health wasn't enough for some countries sweden has said that it is going to take a few days to absorb what i may said to make their own investigations and not comes off the death of a woman who is said to be in perfectly good health. the having the vaccination so still some questions remaining now astra zeneca is seen as being

a pillar for the. role like this vaccine that same program at a faster rate has been painfully slow so far and there are calls now to be made to look at approving vaccines on a faster level particularly cool is coming from regional leaders in germany for the a.m.a. to look at this very vaccine from russia we heard from the european commissioner for internal trade a wednesday saying that he thought it was a good vaccine that cool was also echoed by the austrian chancellor sebastian kurtz concerning sputnik vi and other vaccines i strongly insist that the relevant e.u. bodies issue now with rice asian food safe vaccines as soon as possible the more vaccines we have the better well. countries are now facing a wave of 19 and such they run playing up or struction is once again we've heard on thursday evening that france will now put 16 departments into

a full week lockdown that includes that of the region here in paris so really there is a huge problem still at the moment as the european union really tries and is struggling to get the vaccine up to speed on from when the pandemic shows and it feels as if they still so far from being out of the woods. earlier i spoke with political analyst nicol america vich on whether the rollout of the job is resuming a little too fast. we've got specialists we've got researchers say that there's a hazard there's a danger leads to this to this vaccine i think is very reasonable why our country is rolling out and have got so much information coming out on this specific to. that scene that this is something which is beats one's my mind we don't understand why are you doing this and something which is deaf and not safe and it's not giving good reputation to the vaccine because people are feeling in the west that we're forcing some of these rounds down their throats or at least in the jabs and they

don't even know if this is the safer not despite a lot of information we're getting not only from the astra zeneca vaccine but other vaccines from the fires will be our deck we've had also we had issues concerning the safety and side effects of these vaccines but there are a lot of people already or afraid of the japs because of course this these vaccines that been developed quite quickly we didn't know so much about the code it and other people were just skeptical even before there was a whole a crowd of ira situation people lot of people at least in france were quite skeptical on the vaccines please bear in mind that the european union but 300000000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine in august so the european union commit to buy this vaccine apparently it did not and says i've never got to know if it was safe or not and there's a lot of money behind all this does not get. the blood and were put in the house responded to being labeled a killer by his american counterpart joe biden during a recent t.v. interview. because really. i would wish him

good health i'm not joking i mean it secondly i want to say that's in the history of every country there are many tragic and dramatic events but when we judge people or other nations we look into a mirror we see ourselves we impose on others what we see in ourselves when i was a child and we had arguments in the court yard we were saying fences off me and sticks to you and it's not just the children saying the meaning is very deep in. response to this bombshell remarks made by joe biden was highly anticipated and everyone's been kia is swap the russian president would say to this and how it's going to affect the relationship between the 2 countries well for now it definitely seems that mr putin has chosen not to get deeper down and this war of words and diplomatic statements but you know at the same time he led everyone know that he is under no illusion about the nature of the u.s.

policy towards russia. it is the only state that the united states government wants to maintain so it's in relations with those but on the issues of interest to the united states itself and on the face thing just like them but with different we have a different genetic and cultural moral code but we know how to protect our interests yes we will work with them but in areas of interest to us and on terms that benefit and they will have to deal with it well this whole story started when joe biden was asked if he considers vladimir putin a killer in an era view a few days ago when the reply was unprecedented even for russia and the u.s. with all their tough recent history so let's have a listen to the segment you know vladimir putin you think is a killer. or do so what price must he pay the price is going to pay well you'll see shortly well the harsh statements and the relationship between the 2 nations to

a new low before that biden's administration announced a new wave of anti russian sanctions which included a blanket ban on important export of weapons and military technology to russia washington cited the alleged meddling in the presidential elections as one of the reasons only this time around we're talking about 2020 elections not 2016 and i would say hard to mix it all obgyn this never ending stream of accusations leveled against russia in the recent years and russian ambassador by the way russian ambassador to the u.s. is now on his way back to moscow for consultations it's one of the diplomatic moves that russian side made to show does not take all that lightly and will adjust its policy accordingly and according to the russian foreign ministry statement it's the u.s. to blame for bringing the relationship between the 2 countries and i quote dead and

. well geo political analyst patrick henningsen and journalist neil clark both believe that u.s. diplomacy has reached an all time low just think that president putin comes out of this whole exchange with tremendous credit he stay classy is the i mean when you look at what joe biden said you know you could argue this is projection certainly because when you think of biden's record when we talk about killers and we talk about deaths well he just about us or to every walk of it so to hear this man use this kind of language that really is tells everything we need to know about the degradation of the office of the president the u.s. it is ironic this comes after donald trump these office we were told don't trump was the walk through screening america into disrepute and yet we get biden coming in just a few weeks off because the president according to another world leader killa well really it is time so i think what's really gone badly wrong with weston. well we took atlanta says total lack of diplomacy in recent years just compare the 2 in

this exchange and it really tells you all you need to know about you know the u.s. president the state of the white house right now in terms of foreign policy so this is the only thing that biden can do to i guess throw a solid to his base to throw a solid back to the media that really carried the russia gate narrative for for 5 years so it's sad but i'm not surprised that they're going to have to come to terms of the fact that this is a collapsed narrative they're addicted to this russia gave narrative and then there's nothing they don't have anything to go forward with in terms of diplomacy or really original thinking. sacrificing human rights something alter of trade that's what the u.k. foreign secretary has been accused of buying campaigners after a link recording revealed he wants the u.k. to strike deals with countries regardless of their human rights record. i believe we ought to be trading liberally around the world if we restrict it to countries

with the european convention on human rights level standards of human rights we're not going to do many trade deals with the growth markets of the future with the foreign secretary dominic robb admitting that trading prospects actually could be done with the so-called enemies human rights groups are now hitting back accusing the government of gross hypocrisy this apparent willingness to sacrifice human rights at the altar of trade is shocking but certainly unsurprising it fits a depression pattern on human rights from these government trade is obviously important to all nations but the foreign secretary shouldn't be thrown human right defenders to the wharf like this while the government has actually defended dominic robb's comments saying that this leaked order for was actually clipped and actually distorted the truth but we've also heard from the opposition party the labor party hitting out saying that dominic robb's comments behind closed doors actually completely undermined their public statements at the same time but it's not just dominic rob who has been accused long before of turning

a blind eye to human rights abuses but saying something else publicly make good on that pledge bring to force the united kingdom's 1st thomas human rights sanctions regime which gives us the power to impose sanctions on the on those involved in the very worst human rights abuses right around the world so when it comes to the big security and human rights challenges of our time we need this our united nations to forge a bold new multilateralism so when it comes to championing human rights across the world it seems like the united kingdom can talk the talk but can't quite walk the walk but this week it really does feel as though britain is going through some sort of existential identity crisis so now it's trying to reposition itself on the international world stage and reassert its global dominance but it seems like it will do that at any cost. britain has trade deals worth billions of pounds with countries topping the list of human rights violators in the past 4 years carried

out over 500 executions as capital punishment while in india in 2020 there were over 1300 deaths in judicial custody we spoke to the director of global justice not who said he wasn't surprised by the comments he anything really surprises me about this is that people still think human rights plays any role whatsoever in terms of british trade policy it's only been a couple of weeks now since boris johnson's own backbenchers try to amend a piece of legislation to say. they want to prevent the british government doing trade deals with genocidal regimes and the governments of closed it so there are backbenchers don't trust them not to do trade deals with countries that are committing genocide acts a genocide. and the british government said we don't want to have our hands tied so really british trade policy is a basic human rights freezone and dominic rabs response to democracy apparently being in retreat around the world seems to be that democracy should also be in retreat in this country because the paper that he put out yesterday the integrated

defense review had some absolutely chilling passages in including the fact that we're going to be increasing our new killer weapons stockpile by 40 percent this is a deeply liberal government and you know i think that trade policy is clearly going to play a role in future years in the promotion of british power i'm british transnational corporations around the world and the news keeps rolling after the break.

banks figure out new ways to rip people off they get caught and what they do is they change the law into this new laws and if there is any problems they extend and pretend they just make maturity longer and coupons lower but now the looks like that big american game of fraud which is the american business model is coming to an. 18 minutes into the program welcome back to local authorities along america's

southern border are calling on the government to step in as the region faces a record influx of migrants u.s. border patrol is struggling to provide covert secure shelter for thousands of people the murder of a town and or his own a told me the crisis is on precedent that this is really opening up a pandora's box in our community we did not see the covert crisis nowhere near what some of the other arizona cities have seen. we were hoping to keep it that way unfortunately it doesn't look with them dropping these migrants in our community and stood. southern states including our. borne the brunt of the migrant influx of recent polls suggest there is growing by the ability of the federal government to cope with the situation in the us mexico border and that depend emic the biden administration has the ploy be a disaster agency fema to deal with the situation despite not being beyond the

remit mer chris riggs again believes washington wasn't prepared for such a surge in my great numbers. there is definitely the concern of. how that it's going to impact my community i have a large number of seniors and elders. this could really affect so we're hoping that border patrol will start testing before they release people were wanting to see what their health records are so that we can ensure our our citizens are protected this is a crisis simple as you know i'm none of this on border patrol i put this strictly on the federal government as far as the current administration needs to step up and . going to offer this they need to do their job they need to have a plan in place obviously there was no plan. u.s. intelligence agencies have warned the white supremacists not pose

a transnational threat alarm bells had already been rung on a domestic level following the storming of the capitol back in january. us racially are authentically motivated violent extremists who promote the superiority of the way it race other actors with the most persistent and concern in transnational connections we assess that a small number of us racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists have traveled abroad to network with like minded individuals this week the u.s. city of atlanta saw 8 people killed by a gunman in shootings over a trio of speier complexes 6 of whom were asian a number of high ranking democrats including former president barack obama tweeted about the alarming rise in asian violence or police boarded the suspect they're saying there was no racial motivation to the attacks. let's welcome on to the program lauren chairman lauren a source of the pseudo intellectual podcast great to have you on the program so

know we have this warning about trans national connections u.s. intelligence seems to be increasing the level of threat they think white supremacist pose what do you read into all that. well i think it's very concerning over the past few years how we've seen the definition of white supremacy get watered down to the point where now the term is essentially meaningless of course if someone believes that other races are inferior to the white race and are willing to commit violence on behalf of that ideology that is a problem but unfortunately what we've seen time and time again in relation to groups like the proud boys is that unfortunately people are very very liberal in applying the white supremacist label where it simply does not belong and what that actually does it is it makes it harder to combat real threats and you mentioned in the opening of the segment there was the recent shooting where asian women were killed that is an unfortunate tragic incident yes but there is a big difference in terms of how we prevent these attacks from happening when we say that someone was attacked and they happened to be asian versus they were

attacked because they were asian and sadly that is a distinction that it seems the media is increasingly unwilling to make you know it's a point i wanted to bring up actually last month new yorkers marched against white supremacy after an asian momus loss from ear to ear with a box cutter people immediately slammed white nationalism even though the culprit was block how does the term white supremacy become almost a cliche for role of society's ills not. oh absolutely and like i said again it's frustrating because trying to misrepresent the real problem makes it harder to combat said problem and we've seen that unfortunately a disproportionate amount of the. hate crimes have been perpetrated bly by black americans and it seems like the media and activist groups are trying to hide this fact and act as if it's white nationalism white supremacy that is responsible for this violence but unless we are actually willing to have this tough conversation about who the perpetrators are we have no hope in trying to combat the idea that

yes there might be anti asian sentiment in the black community it did seem for a while there in san francisco every day there was an attack on an asian person didn't either. oh for sure and what we're seeing is people trying to blame for example president trump's rhetoric calling coronavirus the china virus as if you know these san franciscan liberals of any race are huge trump supporters or big avid fox news listeners which is not the case hope big of a problem just the overall situation larn. us intelligence enables them racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists has it become really a nationwide challenge well i'm not going to deny that there is a security threat there we have seen over the past few years and not just america but also places like new zealand you know white supremacists or people with those political leanings commit violent attacks there is a threat there and absolutely i believe for example extremists chakkar oops should be monitored but it's gotten to the point in terms of media coverage where you would assume that there was an anti asian or white supremacist shooting every week

based on how much the media focuses on it and unfortunately what we have is people like my father who is asian now even scared to visit large cities because he thinks that anti asian sentiment is that bad which is not the case f.b.i. statistics show that asian americans are the least likely group to have hate crimes committed against them any hate crime is bad if you ask me but i think what we're seeing is a certain hate crimes being elevated in reporting time above others to suit a political agenda racially motivated or not i suppose what do you think i know this is a multifaceted question had a lot of answers but the root problem of the violence seen on the streets in the us what is it be tuck old. oh i think one of the main things that needs to be done is to increase the enforcement of existing laws we've seen over the past year time and time again political violence essentially be excused or let off the hook in all of these riots with b.l.m. and teeth that we've seen that police officers their funding their role in society

in general has been questioned and diminished we can't act surprised when we excuse violent attacks time and time again we demonize the people who are meant to be there to stop it and we see that these violent incidents actually increase and this is a problem that we're seeing recently in these big liberal cities places like new york you mentioned san francisco portland as well thankfully most of the country is sane and does not have these same social issues but in those areas if people want to feel safe they they just have to realize that you can demonize cops and then still expect to be protected by those same people who you're hoping to de-fund norrin thanks very much for your time today we've been speaking to lauren chen host of the pseudo intellectual podcast a really interesting follow on twitter as well that lauren chen go check and i thank you for thank you. russia is celebrating the 7th anniversary of reunification with crimea and 2014 more than 96 percent of the people are voting to

break away and rejoin mainland russia following months of political turmoil and civil unrest in ukraine ortiz only a patrol can tell us how the day is being marked. the biggest and loudest celebrations as usual war of course rocking the cities of crimea itself but here in moscow something special was happening at the biggest arena of the capital luzhniki where a lot of our putin gave a very emotional speech but the president didn't only congratulate crimean for a vast majority of locals there this day march 18th and 2040 was the happiest day as most of them say in the years or decades the russian president also sent an emotional message to the whole of russia and to the rest of the world reminding everyone where the crimean peninsula belongs as he sees it the sure but as you have seen today is a very special day for the whole of

a vast country vast that's the right word for russia remains the largest country in the world in terms of territory if you think you look at some up you see that crimea is just the dogs and yet we're talking about the restoration of historical fairness we're talking about the importance of this land to our country and our people. so most of the russian leaders speech was about the deep historic connections that date back 2 centuries ago the russian president also talked about the blood of russian and then soviet soldiers that was being spilled so often as they were losing their lives to protect the peninsula from invaders now for many of the world especially the western world what happened 7 years ago in 24 seeing is seen as something controversial or outright unlawful but i can tell you that the foreigners most of them who have visited crimea and 2014 most of them did change

their mind after talking 'd to the law because what i always say the most important thing for the understanding is speaking to the locals in the year 2014 ukraine was engulfed in violent protests led by ukrainian nationalists which ended up in a in kiev and as a result of this the peninsula which is mostly populated by ethnic russians decided that it doesn't want to be a part of ukraine any longer which explains the result of the referendum that took place in march more than 96 percent voting in favor of rejoining russia so ever since then march the 18th is being celebrated as the university of the reunification and like i said it's a very special day for crimea and the whole of russia indeed to the

taking us through is a wrap for nothing but some more great programs are just about to get their start keep watching to see what's showing where you are today by foot. taste sites are and like hearing the brain doesn't have an organ for time we have no organ for it nor could we because time is a material physical substance like matter or like light so the brain has to create the perception of time the least video shows las vegas police waiting in the hallway at the mandalay bay hotel even as stephen paddick continues to murder people.

who are getting killed and this coward stayed on the very 1st floor and not one attempt was made to reach the 32nd floor could have been saved if they were to take an action absolutely they had a team of armed individuals that did nothing but challenge while the shots were going on 58 people died that night i'm a coward cop who could have done something if a firearm but they don't tell anybody about it i found out about it and i did a story on it there were about 30 police officers with shotguns of a r.'s and all kinds of him not to mention for over an hour on the 32nd floor swire into the room every 20. 1 of us wants to destroy just went into the room. they went into the room and they completely destroyed the crime scene.
