i much. hate crime meantime let me. ask you because the law is not on their side. lines live from moscow this is the international very warm welcome to. several european countries have said that they will now resume. after the european medicines agency gave it the old clear but that hasn't been quite enough to allay fears among some people that the job causes ohio blood clots.
9:02 am
the european medicines agency has joined the world health organization in saying the benefits of the u.k.'s oxford astra zeneca covered 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 general so we've had one or 2 patients who phoned asking whether the vaccine is still safe but what i do is reassure them that there are only been a few cases reported developing a lot is a very common medical problem and we still don't know 'd whether there's an
9:03 am
increased risk with the vaccine or whether this what would have happened to those few individuals anyway 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 are risks 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 job is safe in the face of the job is safe. the thing that isn't safe is catching code which is why it's so important that we all get our jobs as soon as our turn comes and i'm getting mine tomorrow but will this be enough to win over those subpoenaed doctors whose compliance is vital for public safety some doctors think there should be
9:04 am
a probe into the vaccine to restore public trust after a year of turmoil any serious side effects resulting in death or significant harm to the patient should be followed up and fully investigated and that's the only way we can learn about the safety of a vaccine and also that it also improves trust with the public that these serious events a lot ignored or brushed under the carpet and the government must and regulator authorities went through this in an open and transparent manner well i think did the 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 was a lot of talk around this speed at which the facts in the nation's developed so there is a lot of concerns about how you know how safe are the vaccine and now it's you know i just i just hope that every some think it nice some of the other countries that have poor. poorest have been using that particular vaccine and i feel that that is
9:05 am
probably a wise of thing to do considering we've got so many people that worry about the vaccination or france is resuming us astra zeneca program but many are still reluctant to take the shot. it's a good. 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. 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 dig their risk so i'm waiting eliot along with that i missed you know her 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
9:06 am
really know if it really works in our. political analyst a nickel or markovitch believes that some governments are putting undue pressure on their people to get a shot. why are countries rolling out and got so much information coming out on this specific to. that scene this is something which is beats one's my mind we 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 face of the other decade or so we had our issues concerning the safety and side effects of these vaccines why this pressure to push people to take these vaccines when we're getting information coming from the scientific 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
9:07 am
union commit to buy this vaccine apparently it did not of tests i've never got to know if it was safe or not and there's a lot of money behind the it's just not yet. denmark has proposed controversial legislation that aims to reduce the number of quote non-western residents in neighborhoods to a maximum of 30 percent in 10 years now out of denmark's population of just under 6000000 around half a 1000000 are non-western migrants or the descendants of immigrants but that's only about 8 percent of the population while the countries plans are technically possible as it is done all hawkins explains there are certainly 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
9:08 am
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 to be classed as a ghetto an area must have a high number of western migrants high unemployment and crime low income and poor education an area could be all of the above yet the majority white and therefore not be classed as a ghetto boy non westerners authorities mean anyone not from denmark switzerland or they eat a countries by reducing the numbers of such undesirables in communities many of the above list of problems could apparently be solved this core foods is a bad foot in barrels and grooves in a positive development in residential areas making them more attractive to words
9:09 am
range of the population i think 3rd is maybe kind of interesting numbers. i don't know maybe the saddle of with like 50 i prefer different people living side by side but it's 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. 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
9:10 am
a 2 way street it can't be the responsibility just of the people who move into any particular country and 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 will be the most libertarian 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
9:11 am
have less it too many immigrants to europe to quickly pause whilst this isn't a perfect solution you can understand where it comes from copenhagen a set and ambitious and unprecedented plan to tackle a political football head on other countries will watch closely to see it sink or swim. police in england and wales will treat violence against women as a hate crime if the victim believes it was motivated by massage the decision comes after the government came under intense pressure to respond to the murder of sara ever ride it was earlier in march. 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 including stalking and harassment and sexual offenses where the victim perceives it has been motivated by hostility based on their sex the move has been proposed by women's rights campaigners it will be trialled an autumn and if d.m.
9:12 am
success put forward into law. now it is reported that 8 in 10 women have endured harassment yet only 10 percent actually file a complaint as they typically think the police won't even bother pursuing the case our guests debated the significance now of categorizing gender based violence as 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 for sensible responses from sensible officers there are men many men who are still seen women as objects people who they can harass and get are we with
9:13 am
that because they're nor 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 there you go whole that came out today and some of the forms of sexual harassment listed are that. someone commented on your attractiveness to you well 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
9:14 am
it's ok to 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 secret legions you know towards a man on to a pedestal and women you know there to listen to to women where really get to the kitchens so there is a long a long way you know way to go fortunately but to everything in house everything out if 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
9:15 am
is the 1st step on that road and i have very little doubt that it will be used in that way. for a pastor in the russian capital the kremlin has repeated its offer to washington for the 2 presidents to hold a meeting in the form of a live broadcast of that of a putin has been trying to clear the air after some harsh comments from joe biden last week but so far the u.s. has not responded to requests for talks artie's saskia taylor picks up the story. well we all know that moscow and washington are no strangers to tense relations but many had hoped this was a thing of the past however of recent days seem to show that very little has changed since the cold war the same suspicions the same war of words are alive and well decades on and in fact in a sign that such an impossible breaking point has been reached moscow was forced to admit that despite its best efforts and despite its hopes to the contrary the might
9:16 am
be no option but to relive a kind of threw back to the low points of the past of course we always hope for the best and prepare for the worst when the president has clearly expressed his desire to maintain relations between russia and the u.s. no matter what and says she's not only in our interest but the entire world's why is such a resigned tone from the kremlin well just to recap quickly you argued this week on national television president biden essentially called vladimir putin a killer a shocking statement that was unprecedented in its lack of diplomacy unfounded in its lack of evidence and really unexpected given moscow's insistence over the years that it wants to work with washington and in keeping with this tradition despite that remarkable comment from his american counterpart vladimir putin reiterated russia's readiness to cooperate with all countries of the world including the u.s.
9:17 am
but washington stopped by its guns person by the way going forward you know the president gave a direct answer to a direct question i would say that the president already had a conversation already with president putin even as there are more world leaders that he has not yet engaged with and reengage with russian leaders and members of the government at all levels but i don't have anything to report to you in terms of a future meeting the president will. of course be in georgia tomorrow and quite busy we seem to be saying a never admit never apologize policy regardless of the consequences for must go more and all of branch an attempt to defuse the escalating situation in fact of the admin page and did even suggest a quite unique a more sort of molten format for them to hash out the differences a one on one live streamed discussion between the 2 leaders where people from all
9:18 am
over the world can to men and watch them discussing a variety of political issues and he said that while he's away in siberia this we can't see any time he's not available otherwise he's ready to go but apparently joe biden wasn't a fan of the idea mr president a lot of who want to go because we do agree about. that. and it's not just bite and turning his back on this invitation the white house has not responded to an official request which moscow and top prints as rejection but it is important to note that whilst this might seem somewhat playful maybe even a touch funny it was a very serious suggestion a serious suggestion for a serious situation because with washington apparently refusing to engage in any kind of dialogue pursuing this provocative rhetoric with the russian ambassador to the u.s. also having been recalled for talks there is absolutely no doubt that relations between the 2 countries on the exceptional strain at the moment are still ahead for
9:19 am
you on the program here on this friday on r t it's after a gunman the in the u.s. killed 8 people including 6 asian so we ask if the media were too quick to assume the motive was racial hatred but that story and many more after a very quick break. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.
9:20 am
9:21 am
pretty chilly during their 1st high level discussions and alaska and my colleagues . have 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 historic 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 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's intentions and approach also discuss our 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
9:22 am
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 is it hospitable the united states tone as condescending the united states the 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 interest of u.s. national security and the chinese made it very well knew that they wouldn't be
9:23 am
talked to like this moment 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. in marriage counseling session there 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 it was absolutely no love when the u.s. came to russia no there wasn't i mean biden came to power promising to reverse all the damage the trumpets done the 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. and you know that being
9:24 am
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 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 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
9:25 am
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 trial and 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 the borders of the country now it does come in the wake of a shooting in atlanta and which 8 people died including 6 asians the mass media was 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 and several advocacy groups warn that these shootings are likely to heighten fears among all asian americans that is just textbook i don't even understand why it
9:26 am
wouldn't be charged as a hate crime however police said it's too soon to say if the shootings were indeed a hate crime and the suspect himself as you just heard blamed it on his sex addiction and the incident took place earlier this week when a gunman opened fire at 3 sponsors the rights group in atlanta now representing asian americans has linked the massacre to the rise of white supremacist but the political commentator lauren chan believes people should be more wary when using about. 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
9:27 am
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 all right thanks for joining us for this program here an international more of your friday worldwide news headlines in about 32 minutes hope you can join us. unlike taste strong like 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 the perception of time. president biden will meet its goal of administering 100000000 vaccine doses in his 1st 100 days today this is almost 5 weeks earlier than promised however with new vaccines on the market have we just fed the big pharma monster as one company is already looking at future ways to grow their bottom line off the vaccine we're going to tell you who that is and while we're on the subject of health care over the past years society has become even more reliant on their doctors for healing but as patient care and bedside manner fall into the wayside as health care
9:29 am
corporations are more focused on profit than the patient we are going to discuss was the bottom is straight and says there is no crisis at the border but the dallas convention center is being converted to a migrant convention center and it will house over $3000.00 immigrant teens we're going to bring you this story as well as the 360 view on just how well the administration is handling the issue. in all of these stories with our expert guest on today's edition of news right here on our to america. thank you for joining us you know the covered 1000 pandemic is far from over but big pharma companies in the us are already looking at ways they can keep cashing in on their covert vaccine how do we know this big pharma executives were saying it out in the open during one of their big executive meeting shocking so what is their
9:30 am
big plan for more on this to bring in a fair project fair and a big question which big pharma company of was this i wish i could say one but it was all of them it's mature enough pfizer johnson. johnson l. to johnson and johnson's credit they said they're going to wait till it's the pandemic is over and then they're going to decide wonder what they'll decide but the big one like you mentioned they were caught on camera that one is pfizer take a listen to exactly what they said and how they keep on cashing in. what we believe what i believe this is we move from a pandemic say from a pandemic situation to an endemic situation normal market forces normal markets the conditions will start to kick in and factories like africa see looser ability clinically julie will you know basically become very important and we view that as quite frankly a significant opportunity for us to actually change from a demand perspective from a pricing perspective given the clinical.
