of a woman on the program on the merits. i'm actually . here because the. is not on their side. welcome to the program here in. moscow with the latest story the british government is locked in a dispute with its overseas territories over of asylum seekers processing. the 2 of the options but local authorities are pushing back. live to london. joining us here on the program could you just take us through this immigration policy shake up on the response it's been getting so far. well put it this way when

the home secretary pretty patel suggested it last year that is the idea to ship asylum seekers to remote territories for processing it was branded a sick joke but potentially only just planting the seeds as now the idea has resurfaced this time around from boris johnson 1 the prime minister here back set and is seriously considering as an option arguing it will help save lives the objective here is to is to save life and avert human misery because people are crossing the channel who are being fooled who are being conned by gangsters into paying huge sums of money risking their lives people have died making this trying to make this crossing and it is a deeply repugnant traffic that we need to stop. well

the argument there from the government is that it will discourage people from making that perilous journey across the english channel however this policy that is being proposed is not isolated in fact it comes amid a big backdrop of rhetoric being of ramped up ever since the migrant crisis 1st escalated last summer in fact at the time it was understood that pretty brutal the home secretary was working day and night to stop these small boat crossing she pledged to shut off the route entirely working with her counterparts across the english channel in france and that would be sticking to a promise she made the year before to make the route totally on viable all of that was under the vision that all of this policy but essentially reduce the incentive of asylum seekers across the english channel these are veteran we saw the practical implementation as well at the time she appointed a kind of started channel for command that would oversee operations to try and reduce some incentives including trying to secure the channel and options being

considered on a practical level included netting and even barges to stop boats moving across across in fact the securitization of the english channel in the last 2 decades has seen the deaths of over 300 people including children as well so that's all the political context behind this latest policy and critics are really hitting out against the home office arguing that all this policy will make it all the more risky and that the government should be exploring safer and legal alternatives and on this latest policy proposal they've branded it absurd and totally inhumane it is an inhumane point was that on demand so nations brough tradition of providing protection to people fleeing persecution and terror many of whom have gone on to work as doctors and nurses and they chose these absurd ideas show the government has lost control and all sense of compassion. well even the united nations has

waded into this latest plan of shipping asylum seekers and refugees to remote areas in exchange for cash by calling it a risk to eroding international protection for refugees but at this point we have heard from some of those remote territories british remote territories are saying they're having none of it along with ideas to build a road tunnel under the irish sea or a bridge above it this latest idea simply to the rich to of life we are dealing with at present april the 1st isn't until next month. but nonetheless the idea is expected to be included in policy papers as of next week as part of a wider shake up of asylum rules in a post bricks in britain so the situation is looking incredibly bleak for asylum seekers here in the united kingdom in fact right now asylum seekers are being housed in temporary accommodation including former army military barracks that have long been described as prison like we've seen covert outbreaks and totally. hygiene

facilities there as well which is also met huge criticism from charities 6 organizations and the labor party as well it seems as though the case of asylum seekers has long been a thorn in the government's side and so now this latest idea to ship them off to remote shutter territory seems as though the government is changing its tactic of lock them up and throw away the key to out of sight out of mind or a dodgy correspondent shot here it would start to thank you. several that european countries have said they will resume astra zeneca vaccination so after the european medicines agency gave it the all clear however a british nurse we spoke with says many people are still reluctant to get the job. people were concerned about the speed at which the facts in nations we develop say that's now compounded with tools and concerns around blood clots in the connection with these these brain blood clots that can develop or they you know this is

fission that they may defer that off to these particular vaccination i had a conversation yesterday with pay a patient who actually said that he would not be getting that one and he has now gone on to prefer a different brand of vaccination because he's lost confidence in that one top medical officials insist the british made vaccine has been proven safe despite several cases of severe side effects in europe.

in the meantime france is resuming its astra zeneca job program but there are still those reluctant to take the shot. 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 for others 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 that. 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 a little longer with mr you know the know how they made it there is a nurse she died and until prove that there are people who died because of it so i don't really know if it really works in art. we want to be gambling with people's

lives you know it's not only and there was a lot of talk around this be that 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 be it you know i just i just hope that every some think you may see. denmark has proposed controversial legislation that aims to reduce the number of quote non-western the residents and neighborhoods to a maximum of 30 percent in 10 years now out of denmark a population of just under $6000000.00 around half a 1000000 are non-western migrants or the descendants of immigrants that's about 8 percent of the population and all the countries plans are technically possible as art is daniel hawkins explains 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 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 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 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 a blood flow to. increase in

a positive development in residential areas making them more attractive to words range of the population i think 3rd is maybe kind of interesting numbers. and i don't know maybe the saddle 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 tests 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 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 of 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 libertarian they'll be the african area and they'll be the kind of western areas and what happens is people fail to integrate now i'll be only just with you i genuinely think that the problem

here is that we have less a too many immigrants to europe to quickly course this isn't a perfect solution you can understand where it comes from copenhagen to set an 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 indeed the victim believes it was motivated by miss our journey the decision comes after the government came under intense pressure to respond to the murder of sarah ever hard that was earlier in mind. 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 praised by women's rights campaigners it will be trialled in autumn and if deborah success put forward as law. that what is reported that 8 in 10 women have endured harassment of some sort yet only 10 percent actually follow a complaint as they typically feel the police won't even bother to pursue the case our guests debated 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 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 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 gent couldn't you these things are happening to women that you're 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 so fine you know i guess someone only because of the color of the skin because eventually it will increase increasing crees and then you would become violent physically i would rather not sense 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 not a secret agency you know or was towards a man on a pedestal and women you know there to listen to 2 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 howard's everything out if you really need to lower his recent book men who hate women and listen to have a toric she absolutely wants criticism of feminists 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 are still ahead here on the program on our international after a gunman in america killed 8 people including 6 asians we ask if the media were too quick to assume the motive was of racial hatred that story and many more than just a moment. to this summit in alaska representatives from china and the united states will meet for the 1st time since the advent of the bike in ministration what can may she expect washington demand can the 2 sides agreed to disagree would be a meeting of low expectations.

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. direct. what is true. is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. good of you to join us for the program today the kremlin has repeated its offer to

washington for the 2 presidents to hold a meeting in the form of a live broadcast of saddam a person has been trying to clear the air off to some harsh comments from joe biden last week but so far the u.s. has not responded to requests for talks as taylor picks up the story. well we all know that moscow and washington are no strangers to tense relations but many had hoped that 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 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 the 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. 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. course be in georgia tomorrow and quite busy we seem to be seeing 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 adamant pugin did even suggest a quite unique a more sort of malton format for them to hash out their differences a one on one live streamed discussion between the 2 leaders where people from all over the world can tune in and watch them discussing a variety of political issues and he said that while she's away in siberia this weekend that's the only 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 the oval office would you agree with. and it's not just biden turning his back on this invitation the white house has not responded to an official request which moscow and. 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 are under exceptional strain at the moment. the new u.s. administration seems to have got off to a bit of a rocky start with china relations between american and chinese officials were

distinctly chilly during their 1st high level discussions in alaska and my colleagues neil harvey a more 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 is 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 the 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 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 interests of u.s. national security and the chinese made it very well knew that they wouldn't be

talked to like this moment by the mission detail 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 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

a violation of simple simple protocol simple diplomacy but russia has said what what china saying what other countries are saying it is time for we the united states off of this added shoot where it begins negotiations from a position of strength as they say is that you know. 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 are uproot has

been anything but what it was under obama here they seem to have inherited trumps gung ho attitude where they think that you know as they did in the past where force rules unfortunately tron 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 the borders of the country now it comes in the wake of a shooting in atlanta in which 8 people died including 6 asians 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's too soon to say if the shootings were indeed a hate crime and the suspect himself blamed it all on his sex addiction the incident took place earlier this week when a gunman opened fire at 3 sponsors rights group in atlanta representing asian americans as linked to the massacre to the rise of white supremacy but political commentator lauren chan believes people should be more wary when using. 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 and we go back and hopefully. it seems wrong all right old rules just don't call. any new world yet to shape our disdain comes to educate and in games from an equal betrayal.
