the astra zeneca vaccine causes blood clots linger as u.k. doctors report some patients are canceling appointments for the jump despite the giving it the all clear. mark on both controversial plans to reduce the number of non-western residents in neighborhoods by 30 percent over the next 10 years. police in england and wales are told to classify violence against women as a hate crime if the victim thinks that it was motivated by. after the government caved to pressure in the wake of the woman's murder debate the merits of the. i'm actually concept of hate crime entirely we men are really scared to ask it because

the feel of the law is not on their side. either thanks so much for joining us here in the russian capital this is after. several european countries have said that they will resume astra zeneca vaccinations after the european medicines agency gave the all clear that hasn't been enough to allay fears among some people the job causes a high risk of blood clots.

the european medicines agency has joined the world health organization in saying the benefits of the u.k.'s oxford astra zeneca convict 19 vaccine far outweigh the risks this follows claims in europe that it's caused blood clots in a small number of recipients if you follow it some people in the u.k. doctors say a number of patients are canceling their appointments or trying to change their vaccine if they know they're getting the astra zeneca trap so we've had one or 2 patients who phoned asking whether the vaccine is still safe and naturally when they hear this on the news it does raise concern in the u.k. more than 11000000 people have received at least one dose of the astra zeneca vaccine and there have been no signs of excess deaths or blood clots occurring and

officials claim that confident the u.k. developed a vaccine is safe we continue to monitor safety during the use of all the scenes to protect the public and to ensure the benefits continue to await that awaits you should therefore continue to get your job when it's your turn prime minister boris johnson even pledged that he was having the astra zeneca shot oxford jab is safe in the face of the job is safe the thing that isn't safe is catching katie which is why it's so important that we all get our jobs as soon as it comes and i'm getting mine tomorrow but will this be enough to win over those few doctors whose compliant . it's vital for public safety some doctors think there should be a probe into the vaccine to restore public trust after a year of turmoil there are particular groups who have more. black and ethnic myrow laura the people tend to be less trusting of over 40 and all you know they feel that mixed messages from government and regulatory body hasn't helped and

also they feel to some degree let down by government in terms of how they've handled and emic and the lack of support because these people also tend to make up the most socially disadvantaged groups in society and they haven't been supported so the pandemic across the channel france is also resuming its astra zeneca jam program but many are still reluctant to get the vaccination is good news for the exam i don't trust the spanx an adult i don't know that it's really true what they say with the media would no longer know what to think it would do for some of us and 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. the vaccine is brand new i mean we don't know the side effects we hear about those who died but i don't want to take their risk so i'm waiting oh it'll longer was that i missed you know the know how they made it

there is a nurse she died and in top of that people who died because of it so i don't really know if it really works in our. political analyst nicol america which believes some governments are putting undue pressure on their people to get the vaccination. why are countries rolling out and got so much information coming out on this specific. scene this is something which is beats one's mom by i don't understand why you're doing this and says something which is definitely 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 sequel or not despite a lot of information we're getting not only from the astra zeneca vaccine but other vaccines from the phase o.b.o. decade or so we had our issues concerning the safety in south texas where these vaccines why this pressure to push people on the earth to take these vaccines when we're getting information coming from the center for community to say let's be

cautious and it's had a closer look at what's going on please bear in mind that the european union but 300000000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine in august they are just so the european union commit to buy this vaccine apparently it did not enough tests i've never been underground to know if it was not there's a lot of money behind it it's just not yet. that mark has proposed controversial legislation that aims to reduce the number of non-western residents in neighborhoods to a maximum of 30 percent in 10 years time and have done multiple ation of just under 6000000 around half a 1000000 a non west the migrants or the descendants of immigrants constitutes around 8 percent of the entire population of the country's plans a technically possible is not is done the whole can explain now there are other issues to consider. multiculturalism means different things to different people and has been described by bullet oceans as both a strength and a force for good and

a failed experiment bringing more problems and solutions the danish government has its own view and vision of the future when many non-western immigrants settle in certain residential areas it increases the risk of create in parallel religious and cultural societies therefore the government will now work to create a mixed house in areas and ensure that in 10 years residents with non-western backgrounds make up a maximum of 30 percent in our house in areas in denmark be classed as a ghetto an area must have a high number of non-western migrants high unemployment and crime low income and poor education an area could be all of the above yet be majority white and therefore not be classed as a ghetto boy non westerners authorities mean anyone not from denmark switzerland or they eat a country's and by reducing the numbers of such undesirables in communities many of the above list of problems could apparently be solved this core foods is bad for it

imperils to use and greed in a positive development in residential areas making them more attractive to words range of the population i think 30 years may be kind of a drastic number. if i don't know maybe the sample of with like 50 i prefer different people living side by side but is very very difficult to implement into this is it's important that we don't push people out of their homes if i was personally known with them. and they would try this way to racially divided us would i would not feel welcome such areas in denmark already face special treatment such as doubled penalties for crimes collective punishment by a vixen mandatory language and training it daily should be used for kids and the limits on public housing this is a policy rooted. in prejudice and racism and when you are you know labeling it as non-western which means anybody who's brown. i think is the problem probably

problematic and so integration is a 2 way street it can't be the responsibility just of the people who move into any particular country or that's where european governments have built their failed to integrate minority communities because they're what we've seen them as in what we've seen them as not equally part of their societies similar plans came to light a few years back and caused a stir with even the un expressing his concern about what it called forced assimilation denmark isn't the only european state dealing with the issue of ghettoization france and neighboring sweden have had their own share of troubles there is a significant problem right across europe with the ghettoization i remember after some terror attacks in paris i went over to one of your states on the outskirts of town which was predominantly muslim now there's nothing wrong with that but what you have a tendency to find this in a lot of these european cities they'll be the most liberal or they'll be the african area and the be the kind of western area and what happens is people fail to

integrate now i'll be honest with you i genuinely think that the problem here is that we have less it too many immigrants to europe too quickly thought this isn't a perfect solution you can understand where it comes from copenhagen a set and ambitious and i'm president of plan to tackle a political football head on other countries will watch closely to see it sink or swim. police in england or wales will train violence against women as a hate crime if the victim believes that it was motivated by mr jimmy the decision comes after the government came under intense pressure to respond to the murder of so every day earlier in march. i will advice they have stats on an experimental basis well the last police force is to record and identify any crimes of violence against the person including stalking and harassment and sexual offenses where the victim perceives it has been motivated by hostility based on their sex the boost

been praised by women's rights campaigners it'll be trialed in the autumn if deemed a success or to be put forward as the law. was reported 8 out of 10 women have enjoyed harassment yet only 10 percent of them actually file a complaint because they don't think the police will pursue the case august's debated the significance of categorizing gender based violence as hate crime. i muchly against the concept of hate crime entirely the contents of people souls is not practically novel to courts on the police the evidence is the perception of the victim or a witness forces are informed that if they are perceived to not take the complaint seriously enough then they can be subject to discipline or a so we can even hope sensible responses from sensible offices there are men many men who are still seen women as objects people who they can

harass and get are we with that because there are no laws that are you know are against this we see it as an example in england now there is kind of a decriminalization of rape because women are scared to denounce you know the rapist they don't take them to court i was looking at the numbers the other day and there are appalling we see that women are really scared to ask because they feel that the law is not on their side i've got the you gov poll that came out today and some of the forms of sexual harassment listed are that someone commented on your attractiveness to you wolf whistle that you looked at your breasts wink that you directed a sexual joke at you these things are happening to women they are not on a spectrum from great to comments about your attractiveness everything starts from

words words are like storms so you don't have to throw up you know war it's like it's like a to know and racism you know you don't have to make jokes of fun you know i guess someone only because of the color of the skin because eventually it will increase increase increase and then you would become violent physically i would rather not censor that kind of speech i would rather come back with more speech the. the answer to problematic wrong speech is more speech it's a cultural problem it counsels of from religion unfortunately secretly agency you know or will towards a man on a pedestal and women you know there to listen to to women where really gauge to the kitchens so there is a long a long way you know way to go or fortunately but to everything else everything out if you read a lot of his recent book men who hate women and listen to her toric she absolutely wants criticism famine isn't to be criminalized and this is the 1st step on that

road and i have very little doubt that it will be used in that way. pakistan's must vaccination program is being hampered by high levels of hesitancy and mistrust job uptake has been low since the start of the rollout of local health experts told us what exactly is putting people off your this is the if you obviously the people are scared they're afraid of all the effects of the vaccine will be and what it could contain so of course they're worried but they are afraid the ask us if it will be painful of those who have been vaccinated experienced any problems so we tell them no he's fine the people don't understand what's really going on they say there is no coronavirus at all we trust in vaccination some experts argue was shaken in 2011 when the cia studies the habit i decide occupation programme as part of its operation to capture some of bin laden we spoke to khaled

roman from the institute of politics that is in islamabad he told us that's just part of the problem. there has been. the worst the endemic wrong be one by and large people not the. whole idea there today are in real. and then this is not just mistrust about the vaccine is not in any of the a in isolation there is of mistrust against to anything that is coming from. dominated. system and of course been received. the americans are going to get this whole system and it is the way you mention it have been cases in the past which give a signal that americans do a lot of things here. in the name of some takes but actually against the

social system against the indigenous values and against the interest of pakistan. as in a suspected gas explosion in a residential building just outside of moscow the fire there has been extinguished the 2 people have reportedly been found dead on includes a child another 2 in. building were injured an investigation has already begun. still ahead after a gunman opened fire on 3 spas in the united states killing 8 including 6 asian people we ask if the media was too quick to label the attack a hate crime story after the break.

eh eh eh eh. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest in the world of sports i'm sure i'll see you then.

welcome back the new u.s. administration seems to gotten off on the wrong foot with china relations between american and chinese officials were distinctly chilly during their 1st high level meeting in alaska calling into question joe biden's diplomacy is back boundary yet again. in following events joins me here in the studio. sounds they didn't go particularly well to start with what exactly was the problem well it was more of a disaster i would say this is this is their 1st face to face meeting that such you do on such a level so that. the foreign minister of china secretary of state of the united states national security advisers very high profile stuff the point of this meeting

was so that both sides could take stock of relations see where they stand it's no secret that relations between child and the united states are the the worst they've been in many many years and both sides of willingness willingness to improve that unfortunately what we saw was less taking gaging relations and more ruining them the united states began by airing almost seemingly every single grievance that holds good china. today will have an opportunity to discuss key priorities domestic and global so that china can better understand our administration's intentions and approach. also discuss our concerns with actions by china including actions wrong on kong taiwan cyber attacks on the united states'

economic coercion toward our us each of these actions threaten the rule spaced order that maintains will stability what followed was a tense strained back and forth exchange both top officials you could see on their faces they were irritated they were irritated by the other side both accused each other of violating diplomatic protocol so they both agreed that the opening statements would be 2 minutes each and then they both accused each other of doing over the top the chinese cool the atmosphere in the mood there inhospitable so if they had a sense that they came over to be lectured and of course they were having none of this the united states accused them of many things but the chinese struck back. by the mission to tell we thought that the u.s. would follow basic diplomatic protocol we should clarify our position immediately

that we tell you something you have no right to tell china that you start from a position of strength when talking to us. the chinese who accuse the united states of provoking other nations to go into conflict with china they accuse the united states of using its military and economic supremacy to throw its weight around sensually bully other countries in turn it into making decisions that are in the interest of the united states rather than those countries in the chinese said that they won't be bullied that they will stand up for their interests and that they're only prepared to mend relations if the if it is done mom equals. it's pretty clear america's going come out on the attack in the new administration and of i have to say does make for pretty gripping viewing on t.v. and we've seen similar examples of this charm offensive in the dealings with russia as well oh yes the pardon and ministration roared into power saying you know

diplomacy is back that now is the time and everything the drum did wrong from what we've seen so far there seems to be precious little difference between in the foreign policies of donald trump and joe biden indeed the russian president also came out after joe biden called him a killer he came out 1st he wished joe biden good health no joke no irony to admit putin stress but he also said that now is the time to we america off off this habit that it has of starting negotiations with other countries by saying that they're there they're they're coming from a position of strength you know they're in the ordinary world we would call this bully throwing your weight around. 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 just like them but we're different we have a different genetic and cultural moral code but we know how to protect our interests yes we'll work with them but in areas that are of interest to us and terms of benefits and they will have to deal with it. the biden administration the foreign secretary you know many of the top officials that decide what they do around the world. are remnants of the a bomb or administration so there's many of the same faces many of the same ideas and they came back they came back to power and they promised to mend all the bridges that have been destroyed fortunately from what we've seen so far when it comes to foreign policy all the garden for now is to burn down the few remaining bridges that would still stand it you know a lot of people thought that after donald trump or biden presidents who might be

quite boring but it's proving anything but so far early days but many thanks for the update and. now report by u.s. intelligence agencies has found that the threat posed by white supremacist groups is increased significantly this year and that their influence spread far beyond the borders of the country comes in the wake of a shooting in atlanta in which 8 people died including 6 asians the mass media was quick to label this incident as racially motivated let's talk about modern police say that the suspect claims he had a sex addiction but there's also concern that the killings were racially motivated several advocacy groups warn that the shootings are likely to heighten fears among all asian americans that is just textbook i don't even understand why it wouldn't be charged as a hate crime but police have said that that was too soon to say if the shootings were actually a hate crime and the suspect himself or blamed it on his sex addiction the incident took place earlier this week when a gunman opened fire at 3 sparks

a number of high ranking democrats including former president obama tweeted about the quote alarming rise in asian violence political commentator lauren chan believes the media should be wary when using the term white supremacy. 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 18 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. american congress one marjorie taylor green has complained to the pentagon about the behavior of us on forces demanding that the national guard be withdrawn from the capital. in recent days there has been a dangerous and troubling trend in which members of our armed forces have being used to intimidate civilians harass members of congress and their stuff and attack conservative janice for expressing their views it comes after dozens of national guard troops accompanied the democratic house delegates representing the u.s. territory of guam to bring knowledge retailer green cookies and a book about the pacific island this is up to taylor green i mistakenly called bomb

a foreign territory the congresswoman didn't appreciate that gesture and claims the tapes were being used by democrats as a political tool analyst and radio host a person says he knows plenty of democrats who he says know less about guam than totally agree it's a ridiculous move that the democrats made and it's all predicated on congresswoman green not being entirely familiar with the status of guam i would bet any number of paychecks that there are plenty of democrats in congress who also have no idea what is the status of joe biden a couple of nights ago at a press conference could not remember the name of the man he nominated for secretary of defense so he could not remember the name of the department of defense and they are just picking on her because she's an outspoken conservative and they're trying to get rid of for this politicize ation of the military marching them down the holes of legislators offices and banging on her door and confronting

her review reform soldiers and officers defending the honor of go on as if that's even an issue and you begin to worry that this administration and this democratic party is militarizing their government something to make political opposition into a crime appreciate company watching our team to national updates in half an hour.
