the u.k. registered a massive rise in attacks on asians reflecting a career global trend of scapegoating the community for the pandemic. if you like asian racism has been such a common thing for so long. when. we're just you know we also feel. french minister cries foreign interference over the funding of a huge mosque in strasburg that's getting cash from the city council. has. brought in to deal with the growing global rules criminalizing intercourse without explicit approval. we're trying to use technology to protect women instead of teaching me in that respect the right of. unintended consequences.

for predatory living. here in moscow you want your to international with me. if you want i welcome. hundreds have marched through central francisco calling for an end to violence against asian americans. almost 4000 anti asian hate incidents recorded in the u.s. last year alone rally follows this month's shooting rampage in the atlanta area which killed 6 asian women. all the violence is part of a global trend in the u.k. anti asian attacks on hate crimes of shot up an astonishing 300 percent would be

supposed chinese origins of coronavirus being used as justification. 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 a geisha 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 talk into a brick wall though sometimes you can try to see as much as you want but if they're 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 the guards are 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 of it never is a problem the asian community is speaking out about it 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 should live. 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 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's however mistakenly feel that that unsavory views of now we legitimize. you doing foreign interference french ministers the scribe strasburg's. a turkish linked mosque in

the city. reports on the top level ralphs 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 euro subsidy to the mealie gora's islamic confederation the group but 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 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 that 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. mark warner's 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 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 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 a very slippery slope 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 straws burke has received death threats since the controversy was unleashed for most people here in strasburg the row has moved a political edge. against all forms of violence whether physical or psychological it but the decision of these grants 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. isn't to fear and perhaps trying to influence the moms 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 an. she moves slim john what do you want to ski artie stroudsburg. oh if you're in the

mood for love this weekend you better hoping to have a good phone connection so you can connect to a sexual consent app which says it can avoid you getting an illegal mix ups later down the line the developments straight out of hollywood. i am i consent to that. was there is a. well in a move towards addressing growing concerns over rape cases a police commissioner in australia has already proposed using such an app one of denmark there was a recent change in the law that makes explicit consent to sex mandatory and if going up there for it to i consent requires used to give approval for their phones and stores the digital document as evidence critics say that that law as you won't solve the real problem and could actually 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 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 she no longer can since 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 a sense 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 especially for the younger generation. in brief this weekend hundreds of protesters chanting kill the bill have faced off with officers in front of a police station in the west and southwest and u.k. city of bristol. i numerous arrests were made on the latest day of protests against the proposed bill to let law enforcement set time limits on rallies at least avoid dogs and pepper spray to disperse the crowd the demonstration turned violent people hurling projectiles offices. has seen the deadliest day of unrest since the military coup there in february over 90 protesters across the country were reportedly killed by security forces as crowds rallied against the rule of the army many were reportedly

shot in the head or back the youngest victim is believed to be just 5 years old that takes the total number of deaths since the coup took over $400.00. bangladesh police have fired rubber bullets and tear gas as people protest the visit of india's prime minister is accused of heightening religious tensions and discriminating against india's muslims demonstrators in muslim majority bangladesh waved shoes in protest and clashed with officers. still to come theatre in a predominantly white us suburbs cancel the production because its cost was partly to white stories coming up after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy people in front a shouldn't let it be an arms race is on spearing dramatic development only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

welcome back to the program of china slap sanctions on british individuals and entities for spreading lies and this information in a similar moves against beijing by the e.u. us and canada western leaders have accused by using a few men rights abuses against the muslim minority with washington even claiming genocide the us says china is holding the members of the ethnic minority. in detention centers something beijing strongly denies. education purposes and to combat terrorism. says nowadays this is how to politics work. international sanctions or in other words american launched economic weapons and it's growing over countries that washington doesn't like having something of a purple 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 arch 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 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 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 in the us flag even in the e.u.

in 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 silent in terms of speaking out about these human rights abuses 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 roberts corner secretly take last week actually supporting increased trade with china so. 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. hereon dedication to novell ms well being doesn't extend to shutting down the 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 his 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. 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. the taliban has warned the u.s. against the 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 on thursday though joe biden reiterated that getting the withdrawal done on time would be

a tough task scoobie hard to me to move right. in terms of. tactical reasons hard to get those troops we will leave the question is when we . will there are currently 2 and a half 1000 u.s. troops in afghanistan the lowest number since operations began there in 2001 the taliban and says there is no reason for the pentagon to miss the withdrawal deadline as all tactical 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. hello been cover over who controls more territory today than it did me. october 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 $2500.00 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 u.s. comes to its senses and leaves. it a bit for more diversity at u.s. theaters scrap the production of cinderella because the cost was partly to white. we believe on the belligerent sickly interchanges where making and we believe this all of her work and how did guests will follow on these journey. there it is the director of the minnesota production says the cast was 98 percent white which broke its diversity policies are as they have been raised as the company is based in a suburb overwhelmingly white so that's made it hard to fill racial quotas it's a lot of 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 so the theaters this isn't 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 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 just say there was a play they somehow was cast that let's say that there are 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 boom bust next with the latest on the global economy and markets. now with the latest sort of 2nd that. the problem with the united states. and russia of big countries which they don't like. to do does matter what kind of regime but they don't have. problems with different regimes the countries generalists quite to like so they're

revered for. it is their. different regimes which was. very strong the americans committed enough in the book so the result is that they don't know what to do with it so bush joked you know the swiss the swiss. americans love. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country a large understood the bargain you get a home and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. the really interesting dialing back and think about the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that

question of the american dream the bigger question of who the dream is for. poor people america have no representation the government that's the problem there's nobody in government that represents people who are not part of multi-millionaire lobbying who work for banks who print money for themselves. to the content of that in this year printing money for the beginning from the until 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 knew you would buy big going for 10 years like we've been saying and you 2 would have 101520 1000000 pounds even if you started with 5 or 6000 but.
