fears that the vaccine causes blood clots as. patients appointments for the job despite the. controversial plans to reduce the number of. police in england and wales. women. if the victims thinks it was motivated by. the government pressure in the wake of a woman on the program. i'm much.
7:01 am
hate crime entirely. because the. is not on their side. the international welcome to the program. several european countries have said that they will resume. the all clear but that hasn't been quite enough to allay fears among some people that the course is a high 0 risk of blood clots.
7:02 am
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 because boy it some people in the u.k. doctors say a number of patients are canceling their appointments or trying to change their bank fees if they know they're getting the astra zeneca jab 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 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
7:03 am
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 kate 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 compliance is vital for public safety some doctors think there should be a probe into the vaccine to restore public trust after a year of turmoil. i've lived out. naomi bennett an n.h.s. nurse joining us here at r.t. international on this friday afternoon good to see you today what is your experience with this to have people become perhaps more reluctant to have the astra zeneca shot yet it definitely seems to be some concern amongst people just that. we actually got background what we understand in even how that some nations work there
7:04 am
and it seems to be some worry in months equal what kind of what are you talking about here what are their concerns being the concerns that there is been talk about these blood clots and if you go back to have them before the pandemic started last year hey we was getting a lot of stories internationally about it but nobody really took those seriously so you know forceful with me here we've lost lots of people but the only science and the only indication that there is a problem i think we need to look at those more seriously to prevent anything going like consequence its own moving forward as you as you say there are some people perhaps who are reluctant to get the job at all obviously a lot of people don't have a medical background perhaps like like yourself what do you say to those who refuse to get inoculated well i think did their concerns are warranted as we are because we don't really want to be gambling with people's lives you know it's not and there
7:05 am
was a lot of talk around this speed at which the facts in the actions were developed so there is a lot of concerns about how you know how safe are the vaccine and now be it's you know i just i have i just hope that every some think it makes some of the other countries that have poor. poorest have and using that particular vaccine i feel that that is probably why it's a feeling to do considering we've got so many people that are worried about their vaccination and due to the fact that it was an inmate quite quickly it was you know that quite quickly. so this is one of the things i wanted to ask you about you mentioned that there's no desire to be gambling with people's lives but then or then you do mention the i mean that the issue of the speed of production here some people have referred to these vaccines as experimental vaccines should there be concerned with the speed with which these vaccines were rolled out well i guess.
7:06 am
obviously i think you know if you're getting something created you gain something made huge the love for and development goes into this even if it's something like building a house you know there's a lot of thought and a lot of development that goes into it but with these vaccinations as we've heard in social media for the past few months you know people were concerned about the speed at which the facts in nations would develop so that's now compounded we've toolbox and concerns around blood clots in the connection with these these brain blood clots that can develop or that you know this is fission that they may develop after this particular vaccination and not to say when we're dealing with people that are not made to quit medically trained you know just the general public want to repeat what i think the government instead of just saying you know it's safe to say i feel they need to be a bit more dialed as to how do we know it's safe because like you said when covert 1st came out some of the neighboring countries were telling us and giving us
7:07 am
warning about this pandemic but we was not listening so i think something like this to prevent any any further consequences and loss of lives we cannot be gambling we've the lives of people so i think you know the neighboring countries in the e.u. that decided to pause i think that could probably be a good idea and i just know it's nearly bennett joining us live here at r.t. international on this friday afternoon thank you so much for your time we appreciate it. denmark 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 out of denmark's population of just under 6000000 around half a 1000000 are non-western migrants or the descendants of immigrants that's around 8 percent of the entire population and while the country's plans are technically possible as artie's daniel hawkins explains there are other issues to consider.
7:08 am
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 where 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 to 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
7:09 am
the above list of problems could apparently be solved this core foods is a bad choice in barrels and grooves 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 stadol 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 i'm with someone. who 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 tests and training in 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
7:10 am
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 were always seen them as any and they've always 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 its 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
7:11 am
you have a tendency to find this in a lot of these european cities will be the muslim area will be the african area and they'll be the kind of western areas and what happens is people fail to integrate now of the only slave i genuinely think that the problem here is that we have less it too many immigrants to your approach you quickly thought was this isn't a perfect solution you can understand where it comes from copenhagen to set an 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 an england and wales will treat violence against women as a hate crime if the victim believes it was motivated by misfortune in the decision comes after the government came under intense pressure to respond to the murder officer at a rod earlier and much i will advice to have stats on an experimental basis will last police forces to record and identify any crimes of violence against the person
7:12 am
including still king and harassment and sexual offenses where the victim perceives it has been motivated by hostility based on their sex the move has been praised by women's rights campaigners it will be trialled an orphan and if deemed a success put forward as law. now what is reported that 8 in 10 women have endured harassment yet only 10 percent actually filed a complaint is they just don't think the police will even pursue the case our guests debate of the significance of categorizing gender based violence as a hate crime. i muchly against the concept of hate crime entirely the contents of people's souls is not practically noble 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 disciplinary so we can even hope
7:13 am
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 good 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 euchre 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
7:14 am
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 2 know and racism you know you don't have to make jokes of fun you know against 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 answer to problematic wrong speech is more speech it's a culture problem it counsels of from religion unfortunately seeker legions you know towards a man on to 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 fortunately but to everything out everything out if
7:15 am
you really need to lower his recent book men who hate women and listen to her toric she absolutely wants criticism of famine is and to be criminalized and this is the fast step on that road and i have very little doubt that it will be used in that way. pakistan's massive vaccination program is being hampered by high levels of hesitancy and mistrust job uptake has been low since the start of the entire rollout and local health experts told us what exactly is putting people off. you know obviously if you obviously the people are scared they're afraid of what the effects of the vaccine will be and what it could contain so of course they're worried. they are afraid the ask us if it will be painful of those who have been vaccinated experience any problems so we tell them no he try and the people don't understand what's really going on they say there's no coronavirus had no well trust in vaccination some experts argue was shaken in
7:16 am
2011 that was when the cia a staged a hepatitis inoculation program as part of its operation to catch osama bin laden we spoke to her later recommend from the institute of policy studies in islamabad he told us that's just a part of the problem. in my view 1st of all there has been. endemic from day one by and large people not this whole idea. and then this is not just mistrust about the vaccine is not in any way in isolation there is a mistrust against to anything that is coming from. dominated. system and of course been received. the americans are going to this whole system
7:17 am
and as. you mentioned there have been cases in the last which give a signal that americans do a lot of things here. in the name of some things but actually against the social system against the indigenous values and against the interest of pakistan. are still ahead for you here on the program. after a gunman opened fire on 3 in america. 6 asian people we asked if the media were too quick to label the attack a hate crime story and much more in just. in alaska representatives from china and the united states will meet for the 1st
7:18 am
time since the advent of the ministration what can expect washington can the 2 sides agree to disagree. of low expectations. 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 led. by. what is true. is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death.
7:19 am
or a mate in the shallows. good to have you with us the program today at the new u.s. administration seems to have gotten off on the wrong foot with china relations between american and chinese officials were distinctly chilly joining the high level meeting in alaska ultimately calling into question joe biden's diplomacy is back mantra yet again well earlier my colleagues neil harvey and what had discussed the standoff well it was an acrimonious that's the word acrimonious meeting that was intended originally to gauge relations to see where relations between china and the united states at a historically low in recent years where those relations stab and somehow secretary of state blinken thought that it would be a good idea to begin this meeting by airing seemingly every grievance that the
7:20 am
united states holds against china today we'll have an opportunity to discuss key priorities both domestic and global so that china can better understand our administration is intentions and approach will also discuss our deep concerns with actions by china including actions wrong hong kong taiwan cyber attacks on the united states economic coercion toward our allies. each of these actions threaten rules based order that maintains will stability. what followed was a strained back and forth exchange and you could see the irritation on these people's faces these are high profile diplomats veteran diplomats and yet still you know none too soon to be the better man the chinese described meeting and the u.s. attitude as it hospitable the united states tone as condescending the
7:21 am
united states their cues them using throwing their weight around using their economic supremacy and military supremacy to bully nations and set them against china to sort of cheat international trade with sanctions regimes and restrictions and under the guise of. being in the interests of u.s. national security and the chinese made it very well knew that they wouldn't be talked to like this. and 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 photos or to marriage counseling session they were both parties their grievances about the of the side and if there was very little love there between the u.s. and china i think was absolutely no love when the u.s.
7:22 am
came to russia no there wasn't i mean biden came to power promising to reverse all the damage the trumpets done famous phrase diplomacy is back america is reengaged in the world and you know talks and negotiations are how biden's going to do it we've seen none of that none of that when it comes to foreign policy biden and trump might as well be the same person there seem intent on burning down what bridges remain calling that mr putin a killer for. example foreign you know that being a violation of simple simple protocol simple diplomacy but russia has said what what china saying what other countries are saying it is time tell we in the united states off of this added shoot where it begins negotiations from a position of strength as they say. the united states government wants to maintain certain relations with us but only issues of interest to the united states itself and on their terms they think we just like them but we're different we have
7:23 am
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 many of the faces of biden. in biden's foreign policy team are the same people the remnants of the bombers and ministrations in the same faces many of the same ideas yet there uproot has been anything but what it was under obama here they seem to have inherited trump's gung ho attitude where they think that you know as they did in the past where force rules unfortunately tryon in russia are increasingly saying it doesn't. report by u.s. intelligence agencies has found that the threat posed by white supremacist groups has increased significantly this year and that their influence spreads far beyond
7:24 am
the borders of the country it comes in the wake of a shooting in atlanta in which 8 died including 6 asian people at the mass media were quick to label the incident as racially motivated. let's talk about motive 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 however police have said it was too soon to say if the shootings were a hate crime when the suspect himself did blame it on his sex addiction the incident took place earlier this week when a gunman opened fire at 3 spas a number of high ranking democrats including former president barack obama tweeted about the issue quote the alarming rise in asian violence political commentator lauren chan believes the media should be wary when using the white supremacy. well
7:25 am
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
7:26 am
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 congresswoman marjorie taylor green has complained to the pentagon about the behavior of us forces demanding knowledge of the national guard being withdrawn from the capital in recent days there has been a dangerous and troubling trend in which members of our armed forces have been used to intimidate civilians harass members of congress in their stuff and attack conservative journalists for expressing their views it comes after dozens of national guard troops accompanied the democratic house delegate representing the u.s. territory of guam to bring them on through taylor green cookies and a book about the pacific island itself to taylor green mistakenly called quad a foreign territory the congresswoman did not appreciate the gesture and claims the troops were being used by democrats as political tools well political analyst and radio host dave perkins says he knows plenty of dems who know less about and taylor
7:27 am
green. it's a ridiculous move that 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 guam 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 and 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 her but this politicize ation of the military marching them down the halls of legislators offices and banging on her door and confronting her with uniformed soldiers and an officer defending the honor of guam as if that's even an issue and you begin to worry that this administration and this democratic party is militarizing their government attempting to make political
