the. u.k. registers a massive rise in attacks on asians reflecting in the global trend of scapegoating the community for the pandemic. it's the league system that's been such a common thing for so long just. then we're just you know we feel. french minister cries of foreign interference the funding of a huge mosque that's getting cash from the city council and has. a sex consent. 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 things need to respect the right of

a woman's body because it's unintended consequence it's an open secret for predatory litigation. live from moscow this is an international welcome to the program 1st for you then this weekend hundreds of marched through central san francisco calling for an end to violence against asian americans. and there's a 4000 hate incidence were recorded in the united states last year alone the rally follows this month's shooting rampage in the atlanta area in which 6 women were killed. in the violence is part of a global trend in the u.k. anti asian attacks and hate crimes shot up an astonishing 300 percent with the

supposed chinese origins of coronavirus being used as a justification as political report. the 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 brought 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 the greatest 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 let yourself 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 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 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'm a bit worried like every time when i'm up here. 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 a. 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 it 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 that i 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 yeah i think it's better because before they just focus on white and black lives matter where in fact it should be everyone it's matter and lives matter to use 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 it's just that it's taken carve it in a way to shops defy that racism so the big it is however mistakenly feel that that unsavory views of now we legitimize. aiding foreign interference that's how a top french ministers described the plan by the city of strasburg to paul funk the

mosque that. reports top level rose sparking 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 that multi 1000000 euro subsidy to the mili 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 bet 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 most and not by muslims it's a chance at 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 how 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 merely 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 to mr season as seriousness was local officials can know the 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 the ferry sleeper slow to radical islam as that was a step too far for us. 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 the political edge the jaws crime against all forms of violence whether physical or psychological it but the decision of these grand mayor to finance the turkish association to finance the mosque in

a trench 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. isn't to fear and perhaps trying 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. seamers lim so what do you mean ski artsy stroudsburg.

in the mood for love well you'd better have a good phone connection so you can connect to a sexual consent app which says you can avoid getting in legal mix ups later down the line of development straight out of hollywood. are are i consent to that stuff the. car stars are. in a move towards addressing growing concerns over rape cases the police commissioner in australia has already proposed using such an app while it denmark there was a recent change in the law that makes explicit consent to sex mandatory and they've got an out for the up there too i consent requires users to give their approval via their phones and stores the digital document as proof but critics say the technology 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 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 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 considered to literally be rich changed within 2 minutes after giving it on the app or you could call or someone to give consent 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 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 or 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. and rafe 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. numerous arrests were made on the latest day of protest against a proposed bill to let more of the last minute set time the noise of its own rallies police deployed dogs and pepper spray to disperse the crowd as the demonstration to violence with people holding projectiles at officers. see the deadliest day of unrest since the military coup there in february of 90 protesters across the country were reportedly killed by security forces as crowds against the rule of the many were reportedly shot in the head back the youngest victim is

china slap sanctions on british individuals and entities for quote spreading lies and disinformation into retaliation for similar moves against beijing by the e.u. britain the us and canada western leaders have accused of human rights abuses against his weaker muslim minority with washington even claiming genocide the us says china is holding the members of the ethnic minority unlawfully in detention centers something that beijing strongly denies saying the camps of reeducation purpose is to come but terrorism simon wright says nowadays this is how to fatah politics works. 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 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 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 on the many demanded of hot construction of the north stream to 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 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 they still aren't 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 goes 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 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. life so much in the world and the shifting foreign minister one he has extended warm welcome to russian counterparts. 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 anymore 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 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 here the times are changing sanctions may no longer be a one way street. britain's hospitality industry has fired back a boris johnson suggestion that customers who haven't received a covert 1000 job could be banned from bars i do think this is the basic concept of . 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 the scene for whatever reason then you people are banned 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 for just going out to the pub and stuff. i don't think it will give the handles 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 i want to go to pry into power been all the older people are there they will be quite justifiably annoyed and febrile the government ruled out the option of a covert passport saying they'd be discriminatory and there's pushback within the

p.m.'s own party against the ongoing covert restrictions. it's a whole bunch of really quite draconian measures that were emergency measures 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 raged by the possibility of another attack on their sector one business owner we heard from says she's ready to throw in the towel. ah the hack is scaring our industry way ask our way to school because it's so close to implementing i don't know what the sign says that i want the government sextape to be able to say that what i am is that the system we know so good at this isn't being done i hate whites and i took everything the right way i think it's ok 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've seen people's heads and then like how it going to be sad to say it's final this autumn down the sponsor or that everyone else meets the welcome i don't get why we don't know but this is

making an absolute mess yet again great solace is somebody come along steady i'm not that it might be out there was absolutely not anything to do with the hospitality she's it's so silly and i think it kind of is art that really should be a hospitality sector so i don't go out and walk back. a bit for more diversity here us theater has scrapped the production of a cinderella because the cost was too white we believe on the blue jetta clee in the changes were making and we believe this all of her work and how did guests will follow us on these johnny the artistic director of the minnesota production says the cost was 98 percent white breaking its diversity policy but eyebrows have been raised as the company is based in a suburb that so overwhelmingly white making it hard to fill racial quotas and it ignited a firestorm on social media i will screw up my blouse or ever visit chanhassen

dinner theater declaring the diversity caught at a local dinner theater is simply bad business and are necessary no problem one move venue to never get my money ever again. you know rivera from 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 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 there 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 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 to hide from us for now the next day to suggest i have a huff an out. an entire village in alaska has had to move if another country trying to wipe out an
