just. me and sticks to you. the american.

the u.k. should strike trade deals with countries even if. that's according to a recording of a speech given by the u.k. foreign secretary. names you know 30 minutes of news and views start. the european medicines agency has ruled out. scene is safe and effective although certain side effects will continue to be probed countries including spain germany france and earlier suspended vaccination following reports of blood clots the. teletubbies among those who had received. 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 kobe growing

teens saying that once again the benefits outweigh the risks in new zealand that despite seeing the records 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 safely 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 last screening could reports the reports and further information from the clinical trials we still cannot. definitively link between these cases and the taxi. we have seen some very rare case people describing specific usually.

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 astra zeneca now faces the already query's 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 took of the 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 and 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 facts and nations are still some questions remaining now astra zeneca is seen as being

a pillar for the. rollout expects that same program at a faster rate has been painfully slow so far and there are calls now made to look at approving vaccines or a faster level particularly cool is coming from regional leaders in germany for the a.m.a. to look at the 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. e.u. countries are now facing a wave of. paying up restrictions once again we've

heard on thursday evening that france will now put 16 departments into a 4 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 here on from when the pandemic. and it. is still so far from being out of the woods. let's welcome to the program martin don't hear from the german left party and also a member of parliament for his take good to see you martin so the european medicines agency has ruled that the astra zeneca job is safe but at this stage is it too late how much damage has been done to the reputation of the facts in. yes if you're a problem look. we have some situation like now with couric 92 my wife this is very necessary to go the best way to protect the health of the people and if you

have doubts see. to my mind but since it should be used if you now see that this is a straw cynic i'll pass on that to some people who are dying of trombones this or even if it's just daljit of it so all you use different scenes and there is different right since like the or you have the cuban vaccine which even was. the patent to the united nations we should use that in. 'd release to prevent a pandemic that shouldn't lead to. stupid things like stop the licensing economy through follow selected group that's the policy industry's show the in favor of the people and the politicians should be in

favor of the people and so i did that with the model sued all in this. as well. as say we should know ready ready. except as the other vaccines as should be more nationalism. which prevents of keeping the people have the the fact that the probe into possible side effects from the astra zeneca job or is the m a call to close monitoring that's continuing i suppose that's not going to help convince people is it. no it doesn't compensate people who think the people are any of the insecurity the. measures against 19 suck up pieces of very coffer dictionary. so some thing is forbidden other things are not what we did and there is no straight and many of the measures and then there is

a big chaos and germany for instance and in other european countries as well with a vaccination so 'd the people are in secure and i think they could be secure very easily if we just would take into account that their this. seems like it's real human. who quite safe there is no comment no documented cases of calls them in so that should be given to the people otherwise the people of cos the insecurity of cos they don't want to get this vaccine if they are for each change and if it's a pandemic like nobody seen before we know that but the problems just seem doing munting throughout the block in the e.u. dont they. yes i think it is because from beginning on the health system should the form for my mind or to the mind of the

pervious well in the hands of the state and it should be enough for people there shouldn't be some compu rents about who produces. the best boxing but there should be an international call on work against them and if some country know a few for example or russia or lot of vaccine which is trustable it should be used and it should be used in all its orbit for example you have another good example the ocean sea which was a lot of matter which proved you cases of. 19 mother gust. as well so it is. so we should prove as well that this infusion caught up anyway for other will issue a peep profit interest and from insurers i honestly can really understand what

you're saying but there's a lot more solutions than just vexing in terms of political game finally you had president mccrone dismissing the effectiveness of medicare pretty early on you've got these suspensions is it any coincidence that the job is developed in the u.k. a country that's essentially left the e.u. and is really racing ahead with its own vaccine program. you know there is discussion about that as well and of costs now you have some coherence in between the central states especially of the european 'd union and. the u.k. that are slow i think 'd we shouldn't play with people's lives in this case we just shouldn't take scientific research medical research to be 'd safe and to 'd for the moment for example you shouldn't exclude the vaccination was arsenic up until

it's approved but it only should be assigned to people research campaign against one of the vaccines it should be this is we're presenting it instead of the house of the people martin always good to get you on the program for your thoughts thank you martin daughter from the german left party and also a member of the hamburg parliament thank you very much a. lot of your person has responded to being labeled a killer by his american counterpart joe biden during a recent t.v. interview. because they only. looked as though 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. response to this bombshell remarks made by joe biden was highly anticipated and everyone's been here 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 like everyone know that he's under no illusion about the nature of the u.s. policy towards russia. and is that you only see that the united states government wants to maintain certain relations with us but on the issues of interest to the united states itself and on their terms they think we're just like them but with difference 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 that are of interest to us and on

terms that benefit us and they will have to deal with it well this whole story started when joe biden was asked if he considers lattimer 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 who do so what price must he pay the price is going to pay well you will see shortly well the harsh statements and the relationship but. in 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 up given 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 that 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. quote dead and. geo political analyst patrick having said on journalist nuclear both believe that u.s. diplomacy has reached. i 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 we talk about killers and we talk about deaths well he just about

us or to every walk of it so to have 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 the company's 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 western. well we took atlanta see a 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 southie alter of trade that's what the u.k. foreign secretary has been accused them by and campaigners after 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 rob's comment 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 rob'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 into 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. well just a little bit more on this britain has trade deals where billions of pounds with countries topping the list of human rights violators in the past 4 years curry diets over 500 executions as capital punishment while in india in 2020 there were over 1300 deaths in custody we spoke to the director of global justice and he said he wasn't surprised by dominic romps comment. anything that 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 government accused it so there are backbenchers don't trust them not to do trade deals with countries that are committing genocide genocide. and the british government said we don't want to have a 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 credit that he put out yesterday the integrated defense review had some absolutely chilling passages and including the fact that we're going to be increasing all and you could have weapons stockpile by 40 percent this is a deeply government and you know i think the trade policy is clearly going to play a role in future years in the promotion of british power i'm british trans national

corporations around the world. is marking the 7th anniversary of its reunification with the crimea resident who has been stressing the historic significance of the region holds for the nation a party that story and more coming your way after the break. unlike taste unlike sight or unlike hearing the brain doesn't have an organ for time right we have no organ for time nor could we because time isn't a material physical substance like matter or like light so the brain has to create that perception of time. is your media a reflection of reality.

in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being so. what is true what is right. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or inmate in the shallows. let's start back along america's southern border where local authorities are calling on the government to step in the region faces a record influx of migrants u.s.

border could truly are struggling to provide even cope with secure shelter for thousands of people and we've been getting reaction to this the mayor of a town in arizona told me the crisis in his opinion is unprecedented. 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 untested southern states including our his own and alabama have borne the brunt of the migrant influx and a recent poll suggests there's going to buy the ability off the federal government to cope with the situation on the us mexico border and make the buy dead ministration has deployed the disaster agency fema to deal with the situation despite not being beyond their remit chris riggs again believes washington wasn't prepared for such a surge in migrant numbers. there is definitely the concern of the cove and

how that is 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 and before they release people were wanting to see what their health records are so that we can ensure our our citizens are protected if this is a crisis simple as that and 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 3rd 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 worn the it's white supremacists not pose a transnational threat are on bells already being 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 whites 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 at a trio of spar complexes 6 of whom were asian a number of high ranking democrats including for president barack obama tweeted about the alarming rise in violence or police quote of the suspect are saying there was no racial motivation to the turks the little commentator lauren churn however believes the media has been inflating news about white supremacy as more than the actual reality on the ground. 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 is that unfortunately people are very very liberal in applying the white supremacist label label where it simply does not belong and what that actually does it is makes it harder to combat real threats 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 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. russia is celebrating the 7th anniversary of

reunification with crimea and 2014 more than 96 percent of the people there voted to breakaway rejoin mainland russia following months of political turmoil and civil on rest in crane ortiz ilya patrik who 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 802040 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 that sheet 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 take a 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 and 24th thing is seen as something controversial or outright a lawful but i can tell you that the foreigners most of them who have visited crimea in 2014 most of them did change their mind after talking 'd to the law schools 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 fall and protests led by ukrainian nationalists which ended up in a coup in kiev and as a result of this. which is mostly populated by ethnic russians decided that it doesn't want to be a part of ukraine any wonga 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 too for up to the minute developments quite literally to remember they check in with our twitter page shows with some of your scrolling time live from moscow this is our 2 international. to the summit in alaska representatives from china and the united states will meet for the 1st time since the advent of the bike been ministration what can be she expects what will washington demand and the 2 sides agreed to disagree would be a meeting of low expectations.
