women instead of teaching men that they need to respect the right of. unintended consequence. for predatory litigate shit. from moscow thanks for joining us tonight here on our team to national i don't know who you are today welcome to the program. the hundreds of march through the city of san francisco calling for an end to violence against asian americans. almost 4008 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. all the violence is part of a global trends in the u.k. and asian attacks on hate crimes. astonishing 300 percent of the supposed chinese
12:02 pm
origins of coronavirus being used as a 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 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 and feel a geisha 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 greatest asian commons 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
12:03 pm
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 jump 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 them 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 that 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 we. expression night i have definitely experienced racism throughout my life. i think it's well something it's an important conversation to
12:04 pm
be having with people just to raise awareness and it's something 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 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 in everyday life do you think it's good that people are taking notice now of it as
12:05 pm
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 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 are these racist attitudes have always existed either through micro aggression 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. using foreign interference french ministers describe strasburg's plans apart form
12:06 pm
a turkish linked mosque in the city to short of the ministry reports that all of the top level rouse walking 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 sistering with foreign interference he's the state prefect to oppose that multi 1000000 euro subsidy to the mealie 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
12:07 pm
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 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 saying 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
12:08 pm
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 there will be attempts at interference in the next french presidential election that 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 millie chorus 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
12:09 pm
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 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 burke 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 grants to finance the turkish association to finance the mosque in a french city is contradictory it contradicts the secular values of the french
12:10 pm
republic initially 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. isn't to fear and perhaps trying to influence the mom's work 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. john i do you will ski r.t. stroudsburg. if you're in the mood for love you'd better have

a good phone connection so you can connect to a sexual consent application which says it's going to avoid you getting in legal mix ups later down the line development straight out of hollywood. i consent to that. pastors are. in a move towards addressing growing concerns over rape cases a police commission australia has already proposed using such an up one in denmark there was a recent change in the law that makes explicit consent to sex mandatory that. consent requires users to give approval of their phones and store the digital document to prove critics say this at all means you won't solve the real problem and could actually make things worse. 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
12:12 pm
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 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 and commit 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 do not 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
12:13 pm
a 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 considered to literally be changed within 2 minutes after giving it on the app or you could call larson once a gift and stay on 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 i. we teaching our children and it's specially because of social media children are especially vulnerable to raising the bar
12:14 pm
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 and in brief this weekend hundreds of protesters chanting kill the bail have faced off with offices in front of a police station in the southwest and u.k. city of bristol. i've numerous arrests were made on the latest day of a protest against proposed bills that law enforcement set time limits on rallies police deployed dogs and pepper spray to disperse the trial as the demonstration turn violent with people hurling the gentiles at office of. a scene the deadliest day of unrest since the military coup that in february over 90 protesters across the country were reportedly killed by security forces as crowds rally there gets the rule of the army many reportedly shot in the head or back the youngest victim is believed to be 5 years old well that takes the total number of deaths
12:15 pm
since the coup to over $400.00. police have fired rubber bullets and tear gas as hundreds in bangladesh protested the visit of india's prime minister is accused of heightening religious tensions and discriminating against him because muslims demonstrators in muslim majority bangladesh waved shoes in protest and the tax office is. still to come by theater in a predominantly white u.s. suburb council's a production because its cost was apparently too white a story still to come after the break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the
12:16 pm
deranged thinks. we dared to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race in. the very dramatic development the only move and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
12:17 pm
welcome back to the program china's slap sanctions on british individuals and entities for supporting lines and this information move in retaliation for similar moves against the beijing against beijing by the e.u. us britain and canada western leaders accused beijing of human rights abuses against the muslim minority with washington even claiming genocide the u.s. says china is holding the members of the ethnic minority unlawfully in detention centers something beijing strongly denies claiming the camps are for real education and to end combat terrorism some right says nowadays this is how to politics. international sanctions or in other words american launched economic weapons and it's growing over countries that washington doesn't like having something of
12:18 pm
a purple power 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 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'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.
12:19 pm
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 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
12:20 pm
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 his 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
12:21 pm
warm welcome to russian counterpart. china russia are 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. britain's hospitality industries fired back at boris johnson suggestion that customers who hadn't received a cope with 19 jobs could be banned from pubs. i do think that the basic concept
12:22 pm
of vaccines to take a she should not be totally alien to us maybe up to the individual public the world. may be able to in the land look i think it's far too much for a problem if you don't particularly want to have. seen for whatever reason. you people from going to pubs and things like that so i don't agree with that no i think if you're looking to travel abroad i get it because that way you can sort of contain the virus to like one country but just going out to the pub and stuff. i don't think the handle with too much power to you know at a whim not allow people to go in to have a drink that's quite stressful especially for people who may not be able to get the vaccine maybe they have some health problems that have prevented them from getting it for young people still on the waiting list to get a vaccine and they want to go to pint power been all the older people are there
12:23 pm
they will be quite justifiably annoyed. at the government ruled out the option of a covert passport saying that would be discriminatory. there's a whole bunch of really quite draconian measures that were emergency measures been in place during the pandemic and the government wants to extend them till october 3 months past that deadline and i haven't heard a single good reason for doing so public and so outraged by the possibility of another attack on their sector one business owner we heard from say she's ready to throw in the towel. ah the heck is going are an issue where i ask how we is called because it's so close to implementing i don't know i'm not the scientists and i'm not the only sextape to be able to say that was this installment you know subsequent this is something i hate whites and i took everything the right way i think for all the sponsors let's yobs i don't know what we're going to do you know that seems like we're not there we got shot at you people's heads and mental health
12:24 pm
is going to be our. final this up and down the stance or that everyone else welcome i don't get what we don't know but this is making an absolute mess yet again i praise imus is somebody called a long standing i'm not that it might be out there was absolutely not anything to do with the hospitality sector you choose it's so silly and i think it kind of is art that really should be hospitality sector so i'm glad someone who got. in a bid for more diversity in u.s. theaters scrapped the production of sin the row because the cast was apparently too white we believe on the blue jetta glee in the changes were making and we believe this all of her work and how did guests will follow on these johnny you know is that director of the minnesota productions says the cast was 98 percent white breaking its diversity policies are as they have been raised as the company is based in a suburb that's overwhelmingly white making it hard to fill racial quotas and it's
12:25 pm
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 if you do it or better of the reactionary times online news site says the theater is the solution 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 art just say that was a play they somehow was cast that let's say that they were in
12:26 pm
a black neighborhood it was a story takes place you know when it was in black characters are we going to force them to cast white actors playing black people it just it 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 just came up to help us 7 here in moscow that brings this news run down to an end quote in braille be here and often of it to get you out of a speed on the evening global news headlines for now good bye and have a great weekend.
12:27 pm
max kaiser this is the kaiser report let's check in with stacey hey max well you know one of the things we were warning about was if they said it is trap and that's the rising power overtakes the declining power and all of the last 18 times i think it's like 16 have been very let's say aggressive like they haven't ended so well and looking at the 2 cities trap coming real as we see the interactions between the biden of ministration and chinese delegations around
12:28 pm
the world and especially in terms of trade policy you know last week they were the u.s. officials said that china was being aggressive seeking economic domination which sounds like capitalism right like they're there providing goods and services that people won and this is considered now economic domination so i'm going to read this tweet from a former diplomat from portugal and when he looked at what happened at the alaska sama where his review of the situation was especially in terms of u.s. secretary of state blank him it just seems that blinken was not really prepared and was taken by surprise this is not 2000 or even 2010 outcome was not great with us projecting the meekest of images and still of from chinese
12:29 pm
television of senior diplomat us to be the one to suffer if it suppresses china and you see their trade negotiator saying didn't you believe in democracy because i guess the u.s. officials kicked the media out at some point blank of the guy called blinken. they got caught in the headlights you is a deer caught in the headlights oh blink and yeah this was a remarkable i don't remember any kind of a tete a tete like this in diplomatic circles i've been observer of american politics for darn near 60 years i don't remember this kind of slap in the face it was kind of like a question terrence you know movie like you know the u.s. diplomat blinken was getting you know manhandled pretty pretty soundly by the chinese counterpart and to spin that came afterward from the u.s. press was you know our heroic diplomats save the day and this type of thing it's
12:30 pm
really it is the 3 cities chapter at large so i guess unlike previous cities traps and when you mention 18 of them this would be the 1st one that we get in real time twitter version of it we're going to see it unfold in real time on social media so this will be a unique in the transition of one empire to another from the american empire to the chinese empire we're going to see this in real time played out on social media this is the unique bit about it well speaking of watching it play out on social media of course just hours after this public humiliation the president of the united states fell not once not twice but 3 times climbing the stairs to air force one so i mean . it's a little bit bad timing for the president to start falling down in public but you know as well you know the city's traps are the reason partly why we even have such thing called diplomacy diplomacy used to be not for your allies.
