the u.k. registers a massive rise in attacks on asians reflects a horrific global trend of scapegoating the community for the pandemic. if you like asian racism has been such a common thing for so long just. been. a top. prize foreign interference over the funding of a huge mosque that's getting cash from the city council to. consent or to deal with growing global rules criminalizing intercourse without explicit approval. we're trying. to protect women instead of teaching men that they need to respect the right because of unintended consequence. for

predatory litigation. 4 pm here in the russian capital on daniel hawkins you're watching. hundreds have marched through central san francisco calling for an end to violence against asian americans. almost 4000 asian aid incidents were recorded in the u.s. last year alone rally follows this month's shooting rampage in the atlanta area which killed 6 asian women. is an isolated spot of a global trend in the u.k. and asian attacks on hate crimes have shot i want to 300 percent the supposed

chinese origins of coronavirus being used as a justification artie's polly warco reports. 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 bull 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 more people are willing to talk about it i feel it asian racism has been such a common thing for so long though like in school for example it was just so it was so easy to just delay case 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 something to brick wall or sometimes you can try to see as much as you want but if there's not going to listen you can't convince some of them pinning you just really angry because of the call the 19 you know some people on the subway are you asian bring the just one time in my campus and i carried a riding a bike and. me you know maybe still some people things of viruses come from china but everyone in china will suffer too so i don't think that it's our fault do 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 mean people were really like every time. expression night i have definitely experienced racism throughout my life. and i think it's well something it's an important conversation

to be having with people just to raise awareness and it's something i think a lot of asia. i've 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 us 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 coronavirus happened so it becomes more worse in my opinion it's it's been always there. and for me i just had to be careful every day do you think it's good that people are taking notice now a vet you know as a problem the asian community is speaking out about it yeah i think it's better

because before they just focus on white and black lives matter where in fact they should be everyone it's matter and lives matter to you in my opinion i think this is the right time to tell everyone that asians should be also be respected we're just also human you know we also feel scared or hurt a lot of asians argue that these racist attitudes have always existed either through microaggression and so casual comments here and there it's always sort of been bubbling underneath the surface it's just that it's taken. in a way to shops defy that racism so the big it is however mistakenly feel that that unsavory views of now we legitimize. foreign interference our top french minister the scribes to support fund the turkish mosque

in the city. of the miscue reports on the top level rose fucking 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 brewing 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 the multi 1000000 euro subsidy to the mealie gora's islamic confederation the group pan-european movement for the turkish diaspora says it's dumbfounded by the right now. because i think that it is a control for cities that is totally political and it's hard for us to understand the

why and the how how the french association or european one which works here in france by the laws of funds 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 chance of 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 opening accused turkey of getting ready to meddle in next year's elections you are 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 corps 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 hates 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 the very sleeper slow to radical islam as that was a step too far for so. 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 ever one reason. is interfere and perhaps try to influence the mom's work in france and it's known there 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 or project that it thinks could threaten french values the more it's opening itself up to allegations of being an. she moves slim so what do you want ski r.t.e. stroudsburg. so if you're in the mood for love this weekend too you'd better have

a good phone connections so you can connect to a sexual consent at which says it can avoid getting you into legal mix ups later down the line of elements straight out of hollywood. am i am i consent to that's. our stars are. the consent application requires users to give approval by their phones it's those the digital documents as proof or the out was created in denmark in response to the country criminalizing sex without explicit consent police in australia have already proposed using it to address growing concerns over rape cases critics though says it won't solve the real problem and could even make things 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 but 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 she no longer can since the issue that we want to use technology to keep up with the times that 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 you know promotes you know relationships 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 specially because of social media children are especially oblong are able to raise in a bar of thinking what is appropriate in order to be accepted in society it's really

caught in a lot of confusion it's specially for the younger generation. you know the headlines this weekend hundreds of protesters chanting kill the bill have faced off with offices in front of a police station in the southwestern u.k. city of bristol. i thought i knew most arrests were made on the latest day of protests against the proposed bill to let law enforcement set time limits on rallies police the boy dogs and pepper spray to disperse the crowd at the demonstration turn violent with people hurling projectiles. has seen the deadliest day of on rest since the military coup there in february over 90 protests across the country were reportedly killed by security forces crowds rallied against the rule of the army and many were reportedly shot in the head back the youngest victim is believed to be just 5 years old that takes the total number of deaths since the

coup to over $400.00. police fired rubber bullets and tear gas has hundreds in bangladesh protested the visit of india's prime minister is accused of heightening religious tensions and discriminated against india's muslims as traitors in muslim majority bangladesh shoes in protest and attacked offices. i. still to come on the program a theater in a predominantly white us suburb cancels a production because it's cost apparently to white story coming up after the break .

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. let it be an arms race. here in dramatic. very.

welcome back to the program. british individuals and entities. and this information . why the e.u. britain the us and canada and western leaders have accused of human rights abuses against the muslim minority with even claiming genocide the us is holding the members of the minority of detention centers so strongly that i saying the camps. to combat terrorism. politics work. international sanctions or in other words american launched economic weapons aimed at scoring over countries that washington doesn't like 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 in the lead poisoning of kremlin critic alexina valmy we got these rumbling on to after the reported poisoning of opposition politician alex enough army many demanded a heart to the construction of the north stream too so despite the fact that 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 are 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 of the international pressure will only continue to grow sounds good for the brain actually do for chinese officials one organization named shamed and sanctioned. britain's foreign secretary domingo are 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 robbers corner secretly taped 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 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 the 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 powers they don't just have to sit back and take them on the chin any more china has now issued saying and the main foreign policy decision making body and this china has slapped sanctions on british individuals and organizations beijing retaliated china sanctioned. our 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 even america's allies now have the threat of sanctions hanging over them the u.s. secretary of state has warned german companies involved in russia's north stream to gas pipeline to europe also with penalties were reaction from a lawmaker with the german social democratic party. even.

the european union and its member states certainly have different views when it comes to security policy ideas with nato in 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 get 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 nick d. 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 gives the society and all of us more security sputnik the can certainly also make a valuable contribution to this. the taliban has 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 though joe biden reiterated that getting the withdrawal done on toying would be a tough task. this could be hard to move right. use in terms of. tactical reasons hard to get troops now we will leave the question is when we are currently 2 and a half 1000 u.s. troops in afghanistan the lowest number since operations began there in 2001 that's not about insists there is no reason for the pentagon to miss the withdrawal deadline as all technical issues were settled in a deal signed off by for president ronald from last year brian becker from the

antiwar answer coalition says washington's reason for not pulling out has nothing to do with logistics. the television cover over who controls more territory today than it did me. i took her 8th 2001 so why is the us trading it's free the pentagon and buying they don't want to take responsibility for what might come next and what might come next is the television routing the existing afghan government and 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 obviously technically and logistically easy biden says otherwise the problem really is that the us 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 it 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 want to mess of 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 us comes to its senses and leaves. in a bid for more diversity the u.s. theaters scrapped the production of send the writer because the cost was apparently too white. we believe on the blue jet equally in the changes were making and we believe this all of our work and how did guests will follow us on these journey. the artistic director of the minnesota productions says the course was 98 percent white broken slow versity policies eyebrows they have been raised as the company is

based in a suburb that is overwhelmingly white that makes it hard to feel racial quotas and it's ignited a firestorm on social media i will screw up my blouse or ever visit chanhassen dinner theater declaring the diversity card at a local dinner theater is simply bad business and are necessary no problem one move venue to never get my money ever again. or of the reactionary times online news site says that a theater is the solution reflects a dangerous development. this whole cancel culture sort of super diversity mafia that it's operating right now is basically what they're doing to meet when i look at something like this from a far is that 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 let's say that was a play they somehow was cast it 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 whoknows 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 in other places. you're more likely to go to prison in the u.s. than in any other country in the world in unfortunate case that happens to you all t. the country brings you the survivalist going to prison next we're back with the latest thrown together.

a grandmother doing a life for murder was released from prison yesterday after 17 years when i judge said she did not do it susan mellon recently filed a lawsuit against the detective who arrested her for hiding evidence that detectives the same one who arrested reggie.

what we know as a society we see the bad guy in the good guy well that's cops and robbers but when the cop becomes the robber the game is over the game is over s. corruption it was a horrific twist of fate that led to reggie's release. was more fortunate this father's death led to an unexpected turn providence was his big thing in any have you know great life insurance and those 184000 that my dad left and i was able to parlay that up to about $236.00 stock market and then it was just 100 percent of my time dedicated to my case and that enabled those to hire a private investigator we had essentially a growing war chest of evidence that i had committed the crime or at least that all the evidence that was presented was it was false evidence i had received a complaint from i flew up to. the state prison where bruce lister was i spoke to him once somebody is accused of murder and you're arrested for murder it's tape

recorded everything is tapered.
