the u.k. registers a massive rise in attacks on asians reflecting on a riff and global trend of scapegoating the capability for the pandemic. and feeling asian racism has been such a common thing for so long just. blend coronavirus and we're just you know we're also. the top french for this across foreign interference over the turkish back to building a few ropes largest mosque deepening toxic rhetoric over the role of radical islam at the heart of europe. sex concerned brought in to deal with growing global rules criminalizing intercourse without explicit approval. we're trying to use technology

to protect women instead of teaching men that they need to respect the right of a woman's body because it's unintended consequences. for predatory litigation. there are 2 that weekend low from a world view center moscow got the very latest for you 1st and hundreds of march through central san francisco calling for an end to violence against asian americans. it was $4000.00 hate incidents recorded in the u.s. last year alone the rally follows this month's shooting rampage in the atlanta area which killed 6 asian women and the violence is part of a global trend in the u.k. asian attacks from hate crimes are shot up on astonishing 300 percent with the

supposed chinese origins of coronavirus being used as a justification of the poly boy to report. racism against asians has increased dramatically in recent months across america there's been a spate of violent attacks particularly against elderly asians and there's a fake shootings in atlanta it's all the topic into much sharper focus but the issue of violence against asians is becoming a bigger problem in britain as well according to one statistic attacks against asians have increased by 300 percent ever since the coronavirus pandemic began and now move people are willing to talk about it at feeling asian racism has been such a common thing for so long in school for example it was just so it was so easy to just the greases asian comments if you care so much of the genuine the leg it gets you so riled up when you're so offended so it's easier to just nod that's such

a shame that's so sad what you're saying that you just hate that people are saying so much sometimes that you have to just brick wall though sometimes you can try to see as much as he wants but if they're not going to listen you can't convince them of them pinning you just really angry because of the club in 19 you know some people on the subway. just one time i in my campus and i carried to riding a bike and. you know maybe still some people things of viruses come from china but everyone in china will suffer too. i don't think that is i will fault so you hear about these stories does it make you feel more vulnerable you know in london or in the u.k. given what's happening in america you know to be honest at 1st i too. am a bit worried like every time. expression that i have definitely experienced racism throughout my life. i think it's well something it's an important conversation to

be having with people just to raise awareness and it's something that i think a lot of asians have always put up with and we just brush aside. so i think it's it's because they're really talking about it now i think what's been happening in the u.s. and even the things that have been happening in the u.k. you know that that was 300 times more incidents happening now is scary and it does make me think twice of going somewhere because i work in health care. there have been cases where patients. don't want to be treated by asian doctors because of the link with the virus. high up when the corona virus happened so it becomes more worst in my opinion it's it's been always there and and for me i just had to be careful in everyday life do you think it's good that people are taking notice now of it as a problem the asian community is speaking out about it yet thing it's better

because before they're just focused on white and black lives matter where in fact they should be everyone is matter and lives matter to you so in my opinion i think this is the right time to tell everyone that asians should be also be respected we're just also humans you know we also feel scared or hurt a lot of asians argue that these racist attitudes have always existed either through microaggression so casual comments here. and there it's always sort of been bubbling underneath the surface and it's just that it's taken. in a way to justify that racism so the big it's however mistakenly feel that unsavory views have now we legitimized. foreign interferences top french ministers destroyed the country's planned of from the turkish mosque in france so it's become the biggest. report from

a top level rose spoke in poisonous claims about radical islam. the city of stress could soon be home to the largest mosque in europe it's being constructed right here but before the roof is even known it's my controversy that's off to a grant with 2500000 euros was approved by the local authorities to a muslim group behind the mosque the brooming then began the interior minister hit out at strasburg officials saying that they were sustaining with foreign interference he's the state prefect to oppose that multi 1000000 euros subsidy to the mili gora's islamic confederation the group pan-european movement for the turkish diaspora says it's dumb founded by the right now. because i think that it is a control facility that is totally political and it's hard for us to understand the

why and the how how a french association or european one which works here in france by the laws of france that makes it difficult to understand the fury that has erupted the organization which is said to have close ties to ankara has become a better new offer president macron it was amongst 3 of the 9 branches of the french islam council that refused to sign a charter we're not seeing political islam and committing to french values. it's a charter that was not discussed not by the federation not by the mosques and not by muslims it's a chance of that directly concerns muslims and unfortunately muslims and most didn't give their opinions and that's not acceptable. the issue at hand though isn't perhaps so much this mosque but the wider current tensions between france and

turkey the turkish president has repeatedly lashed out at my corn accusing him of anti muslim policies in return. corners openly accuse turkey of getting ready to meddle in next year's elections you have there will be attempts at interference in the next french presidential election i consider this to be on acceptable it's written down the threats are not veiled with the presidential elections only a year away some have suggested that the controversy over this mosque is being used as a bit of a diversion tactic of the government's handling of the coup crisis meanwhile the authorities in stress brooke say the funding is contingent on the milly course islamic confederation reaffirming its commitment to the values of the french republic they've also complained directly to the elisei about the route. the minister of the interior did not issue any warning on this subject the risk of foreign interference should be addressed whisper season as serious this was local

officials can know they're reduced to this informal exchanges but it wasn't just the interior minister who hate out at the decision to help fund the mosque the minister for citizenship was also scathing tony bennett this is not the 1st time that mayors of the french green party are on a very slippery slope to radical islam as that was a step too far. he cannot take advantage of his position as minister to demonize his opponents otherwise it negates the democratic debate we're still he said the mayor of stress has received death threats since the controversy was unleashed for most people here in strasburg the row has moved the political edge. against all forms of violence whether physical or psychological but the decision of these grand mayor to finance the turkish association to finance the mosque in a french city is contradictory it contradicts the secular values of the french

republic. because if you put i think it's a political decision because our region's law has always been like that it has never posed a problem for churches so why does it pose a problem for one mosque the money was potentially given by someone who supports the terms but after wards it becomes a mosque for everyone. here isn't to fear and perhaps try it in 1st 3 months of working in france and it's known they have been difficulties between the french and turkish presidents recently what this polemic highlights is how heightened tensions are in france particularly over islam and islamic extremism as the government tightens the screw on any group project that it thinks could threaten french values the more it's opening itself up to allegations. of being anti muslim charlotte do you will ski r.t.e. strasberg. so about

a personal question that we can't do in the mood for love or you'd better get a good phone connection then if you can connect to a sexual consent which says it can avoid getting in legal mix ups later down the line the development straight at a hollywood was consent that's. was a higher stars are. the i.q. center placation requires users to give approval via their phones it stores the digital document as proof now the out was created in denmark in response to the country criminalizing sex without explicit consent police in australia have already proposed using it as well to address growing concerns over rape cases but critics say it won't solve the real problem and could make things even worse. we're wanting to use technology to allow women to make their voice heard and that sounds like it's a great idea on its face right fight unfortunately because it is consistent and consistent

can be withdrawn at any given time what we run into is the fact that well what happens if a person does consent on the apple then decides he no longer can sense the issue that we want to use technology to keep up with the times but unfortunately it doesn't do enough to actually protect a woman's right to choose and have autonomy over her body intimate relationships i think technology should be completely and totally removed because it's unintended consequences and opens the gates for predatory litigation it causes so many problems that you would not even want to even start to think about heaven and what we're trying to use technology to protect women instead of teaching men that they need to respect the right of a woman's body to make a decision we're just teaching men try to go out try to cover yourself in and protect yourself as best as possible so that this can come back to bite you in the future and while the app to be helpful if you were just for research purposes in

the sense of you know before the sexual encounters did you can stick after the sexual can encounter do you continue to give consent that's one thing but at the same time wanting to take this app into a court a court of law and say oh well i guess i didn't write her because she gave me a fit that doesn't work because the can stick to literally the rich changed within 2 minutes after giving it on the app or you could call or someone it's a gift and sale of the apps so it's not you know a clear cut solution at all to educate people is one thing but to have a culture that promotes no relationship and you know healthy ones is another we have a culture right now where we have carty basing in a song that brings a huge confusion to the message. what are we teaching our children and it's especially because of social media children are especially vulnerable to raising

the bar of thinking what is appropriate you know what it should be accepted in society and it's really caught in a lot of confusion especially for the younger generation. prefers we can hundreds of protesters chanting kill the bill of faced off with offices in front of a police station in the southwestern u.k. city of bristol. i really heated there again numerous arrests were made on the latest day of protests against a proposed bill to let law enforcement said time and noise limits on rallies police deployed dogs and pepper spray to try to get rid of the crowd as the demonstration turned violent increasingly with people hurling projectiles back at the officers. least 32 dead more than a 100 injured after 2 trains collided in egypt authorities say it happened when the emergency brakes were used on one of those trains the country's rail network been

with different regimes countries generally is quite a bit like saudi arabia for the. it is a. different regimes which was. very strong the americans cannot do nothing about so the result is that we don't know what to do with it so bush. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in his own spear in dramatic development only and going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

china slap sanctions on british individuals then to tease for quote spreading lies and misinformation it's a retaliation for similar moves against beijing by the e.u. u.k. u.s. and canada western leaders have accused beijing of human rights abuses against its weaker muslim minority with washington even claiming genocide the u.s. says china is holding the members of their ethnic community unlawfully in detention centers some of things beijing strength strenuously denied along the way saying in fact those camps are for reeducation purposes and to combat terrorism someone right says nowadays this is how to attack politics seems to work. international sanctions or in other words american launched economic weapons aimed at scoring over countries that washington doesn't like and having something of a purple bow new u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken now in brussels on the heels of concerted

sanctions against top officials blamed for the moslems in china's western province and we've had these u.s. president joe biden has made his 1st major move against russia has imposed sanctions on russian officials and businesses those who are over the jailing and lead poisoning of kremlin critic alexina valmy we got these rumbling on to after the reported poisoning of opposition politician alex enough on the many demanded of heart to the construction of the north stream to so despite the sanctions usually cause more misery to the populations of the countries they're aimed at rather than the governments just ask the venezuelans or the iraqis or the rain ians or the cubans it is a long list they're still normally sold as being for humanitarian reasons which is why you always get those sanctions against saudi arabia. generally speaking sanctions come wrapped in a u.s. flag even when the e.u. and canada sanction china is still

a sleepy joe biden holding their hands or sniffing their sanctions are ultimately d.-o. political weapons are equal parts flexible and hypocritical you can really use them to show off your humanitarian credentials to the world we will not be silenced into speaking out about these human rights abuses international pressure will only continue to grow sounds good actually do for chinese officials what organization name shamed and sanctioned britain's foreign secretary the so worried about the way years along with the e.u. that they've sanctioned for chinese people out of a population of 1400000000 dominic robs corner secretly take last week actually supporting increased trade with china. washington's humanitarian credentials don't exactly add up either they're currently linking future sanctions against russia's pipeline to germany to the fate of. even though they've been trying to sink ground pipeline 3 years before he became

a cause celeb wonder why the us has argued and in fact excessively with some countries like poland for example that actually there's a lot of us gas and they're happy to look at 5 and send it to countries in europe that sounds pretty lucrative doesn't it well germany got behind the sanctions on china but tensions are running worryingly high between germany and the united states the bone of contention is a gas pipeline. monetary and dedication to novell ms well being doesn't extend to shutting down a pipeline which brings lots of lovely cheap gas international solidarity is pretty much always for sale the reason sanctions have worked in the past is because the u.s. has spent decades as the most powerful nation on earth more importantly it prints the dollar the global business currency which means it can use it any time it wants as a. lie so much in the world and the shifting foreign minister one he has extended warm welcome to russian counterpart. china russia getting together not just for the

food among other things they want to the dollar they sense that as the sanctions are coming from fading hours they don't just have to sit back and take them on the chin any more china has now issued saying sions and the main foreign policy decision making body and this china has slapped sanctions on british individuals and organizations beijing retaliated china sanctioned it's not how it's supposed to work beijing is apparently willing to sacrifice a huge trade deal is signed with europe movie thing is going to suffer more from now. the times are changing sanctions may no longer be a one way street. well seems even america's allies now have the threat of sanctions hanging over them the u.s. secretary of state warning new german companies involved in russia's north stream to gas pipeline to europe also respond well to he's got reaction from a lawmaker with the german social democratic party.

the european union and its member states certainly have different views when it comes to security policy ideas with nato and the e.u. there are always joint dialogues and shared procedures i can't imagine that individual projects like north stream 2 or other projects would threaten the security policy interests of the e.u. as a whole or cause the member states to disagree the united states through its sanctions laws has ways of targeting individual companies involved in the construction and completion of north stream 2 i can't judge at the moment whether they are political decisions in the us in this regard on the other hand after the project is completed it will be a question of how the european union deals with the gas supply and not a question of how the individual companies are involved in this. as a matter of fact i don't like export bans on vaccines but it's always a question of reciprocity if the british government for its part ensures that the

british companies meet their contractual obligations to the member states of the european union in that it goes without saying that vaccines goods or other services produced in the e.u. will also go to the u.k. in principle i believe that export restrictions are not the way forward but it is a question of reciprocity at the end of the day it's about making sure that all countries around the world and in europe are good and provide enough vaccines for their citizens the covert crisis will only be solved if all people worldwide are vaccinated we must do everything to ensure that enough vaccines are made available there will be no solution which is only restricted to a national level. from what i have read and heard the is a high quality vaccine comparable in its quality to other vaccines already approved in europe of course and once it is approved sputnik the can also help to fight the pandemic as quickly as possible every vaccine that is available and every person

who has been vaccinated it gives society and all of us more security sputnik the can certainly also make a valuable contribution to this. but telegrams warned the u.s. against missing the 1st of may deadline for pulling its troops out of afghanistan the militant group says washington will be fully responsible if the violence continues but on thursday joe biden reiterated that getting the withdrawal done on time would be a tough task. this could be hard to read to me one might. use the terms of. tactical reasons for it to get those troops out we will leave the question is when we leave there are currently 2500 u.s. troops in afghanistan that's the lowest number since operations began there in 2001 the taliban insists there's no reason for the pentagon to miss the withdrawal deadline as all tactical issues were settled in a deal signed off by former president donald trump last year brian becker from the

antiwar answer coalition told us washington's reason for not pulling out has got nothing to do there with logistics. the television cover controls more territory today than it did me. october 8th 2001 so why is the us trading at speed the pentagon and buying they don't want to take responsibility for what might come next and what might come next is the teller been routing the existing afghan government in posing a full out complete taliban government so the us doesn't want to take the next step but it can't really avoid taking the next step so more american soldiers and certainly more afghan civilians are about to die unless biden recognizes the reality that the us cannot win this war taking 2500 troops out of afghanistan by may 1st is. technically in logistically easy biden says otherwise it probably is that the u.s. kicked him completely sell the puppet government in afghanistan to go along with

the deal because once the americans are out the existing the existing government has been put into place by the americans is very likely to be crushed so the us is in iraq is it is between a rock and a hard place but so is the afghan government but the reality on the ground is if the taliban wanted now they launch a massive offensive to drive out those last $2500.00 troops they could do it they're not doing it right now because they're hoping that the u.s. comes to its senses and leaves. you know paid for diversity want us there to screw up to production the cinderella than because the cost was too white police believe unapologetically in the changes who are making and we believe that all of our contact guests will follow us on this journey the artistic director of the minnesota production says the cause was 98 percent white breaking its diversity policies but i present race as the company's based in a suburb that's overwhelmingly white making it therefore hard to fill racial quotas

signal to the firestorm on social media. i will scrap i ever visit china ason dinner theater declaring the diversity card at a local dinner theater is simply bad business necessary no problem one move venue to never get my money ever again they are aware of the reaction times online news site says the theaters decision reflects a dangerous development this whole cancel culture sort of super diversity mafia that is operating right now is basically what they're doing to me when i look at something like this from a far is they're trying to legitimize anti white racism i mean we're not talking about the public sector this is not you know let's say a government entity that hired only white employees disses you know subjective issues this is or just say there was a play they somehow was cast that let's say that they were in

a black neighborhood where the story takes place you know and within black characters are we going to force them to cast white actors playing black people it just doesn't none of this really makes any sense other than the fact that they're one trying to call attention and create controversy maybe to bring attention to their theater who knows and to it's a another attempt to me again to legitimize this anti-white racism that we continue to see in plain sight in america and other places. if you uncomment of the stories you see check out our side l.t. dot com go to the comments section for note for me kevin i'm in a good weekend. for

people america have no representation of government that's that's the problem there's nobody in government that represents people who are not part of a multimillionaire lobbying class who work for banks who print money for themselves . to the can tell them that in the last year printing money for yourself and gaining from they can tell the fact you have nobody in government representing in america not a single congressperson not a single senator nobody in the white house represents you you are on your own i haven't followed i knew you would buy a big one for 10 years like we've been saying and you 2 would have $101520000000.00 even if you started with 5 or 6000.

1 else shows seemed wrong. when old rules just don't hold. any old belief yet to shape out this day become agitated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. this is the one business where you can't afford to mess i'm rachel blah than wasim said coming up to them now some are.
