u.k. in america see a massive rise in attacks on asian people reflecting on her global trend of scapegoating the community for the pandemic. it's really gazing racism has been such a common thing for so long just. no fires and we're just supposed to. feel . french minister cries foreign interference over the funding of a huge mosque and it's getting cash from the city council. 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 they need to respect the right of one because it's an unintended

consequence. for predatory litigation. live from moscow this is. called in right here's what we're across this weekend hundreds have marched through central some francisco calling for an end to violence against asian americans. almost 4000. 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. the violence is part of a global trend in the u.k. anti asian attacks and hate crimes have shot on astonishing 300 percent with the supposed to chinese origins of the coronavirus being used as a justification only boy to report racism against asians has increased dramatically

in recent months across america there's been a spate of violent attacks particularly against elderly asians and there's a fake shootings in atlanta it's all the topic into sharper focus but the issue of violence against asians is becoming a bigger problem in britain as well according to one statistic attacks against asians have increased by 300 percent ever since the coronavirus pandemic began and now move people are willing to talk about it if you litigation racism has been such a common thing for so long in school for example it was just so it was so easy to just greece's asian comments if you care so much of a genuinely leg it gets you so riled up when you're so offended so it's easier to just know that such a shame that so sad what you're saying that you just hate that people are saying so

much sometimes that you have to just talking to those sometimes you can try to see as much as he wants but if they're not going to listen you can't convince them of them pinney just really angry because of so called in 19 you know some people on the subway. just one time i in my campus and i carried to riding a bike and. you know maybe still some people think the virus does come from china but everyone in china will. suffered too so i don't think that is i will fault so you hear about these stories does it make you feel more vulnerable you know in london or in the u.k. given what's happening in america you know to be honest at 1st i too. am a bit worried like every time we hear. expression. i have definitely experienced racism throughout my life. i think it's well something it's an important conversation to be having with people just to raise awareness and it's something 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 and for me i just had to be careful in everyday life do you think it's good that people are taking notice now of it as a problem that the asian community is speaking out about it yeah i think it's better because before they're just focused on white and black lives matter where in

fact they should be everyone is matter and lives matter to you so in my opinion i think this is the right time to tell everyone that asians should be also be respected we're just also humans you know we also feel scared or hurt a lot of asians argue that these racist attitudes have always existed either through microaggression and so can. comments here and there is always sort of been bubbling underneath the surface it's just that it's taken care of it in a way to justify that racism so the big kids however mistakenly feel that their unsavory views have now we legitimize. aiding foreign interference our top french ministers described a plan by the city of strasburg's apart from the. reports on the top level rather 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 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 facility that is totally political and it's hard for us to understand the why and the how how a french association a 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 seeing political islam and committing to french values. it's a charter that was not discussed not by the federation not by the mosques and not by muslims it's a chance of that directly concerns muslims and unfortunately muslims and most didn't give their opinions and that's not acceptable. the issue at hand though isn't perhaps so much this mosque but the why dick current tensions between france and turkey the turkish president has repeatedly lashed out at my corn accusing him of anti muslim policies in return. corners openly accuse turkey of getting ready to

meddle in next year's elections you have there will be attempts at interference in the next french presidential election and 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 books 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 us 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 the political edge. i am against all forms of violence whether physical or psychological but the decision of these grand mayor to finance the turkish association to finance the mosque in a french city is contradictory it contradicts the secular values of the french republic. because if you put i think it's

a political decision because our region's law has always been like that it has never posed a problem for churches so why does it pose a problem for one mosque the money was potentially given by someone who supports the terms but after wards it becomes a mosque for everyone. here isn't to fear and perhaps 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. she moves them so what do you can ski out see stroudsburg. in the mood for love well you'd better have a good phone connection so you can connect sexual consent. you can avoid getting

into serious legal makes up slater down the line developments straight out of hollywood. lag was a consent to that the arkansas to ask god for our stars in iraq. and a move towards addressing growing concerns i have a right cases a police commissioner in australia has already proposed using such an app while in denmark there was a recent change in the normal that makes explicit consent to sex mandatory and they've got an app deferent i consent requires he says to give approval via their phones and stores the digital document as proof but critics say the technology once all the real problems and could even make things worse. were wanting to use technology to allow women to make their voice heard and that sounds like it's a great idea and it's based right fight unfortunately because it is considered and consent can be withdrawn at any given time what we run into is the fact well what

happens if a person does consent on the app and then decides he no longer consent 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 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 absence or court a court of law and say oh well i guess i didn't write her because she didn't that doesn't work because the can stick to you literally. changed within a few minutes after getting it on the app or you don't want to get in on the app 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 or able to raise in a bar of thinking what is appropriate in order to be accepted in society it's really

causing a lot of confusion it specially for the younger generation. in brief 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 the refreshments set time and noise limits on rallies and he's deployed dogs and pepper spray to disperse the crowd as the demonstration time 5 and move people hunting projectiles in offices i. mean ma has seen the deadliest day of unrest since the military coup that in february of 90 protesters across the country with reportedly killed by security forces as crowds rallied against the rule of the army many were reportedly shot in the head back the youngest victims believed to be 5 years old that takes the total number of deaths since the coup to

all over again china slap sanctions on british individuals and entities for quote spreading lies and disinformation it's a retaliation for similar moves against beijing by the e.u. britain the us and canada western leaders have accused beijing of human rights abuses against an so weak a muslim minority with washington even claiming genocide the us says china is holding the members of the ethnic minority unlawfully in detention centers something beijing strongly denies saying the camps of reeducation purposes and to combat terrorism also on my commentator simon wright takes a swipe at the tip the top politics of play. 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 of the lead poisoning of arch 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 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 silenced into speaking out about these human rights abuses 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. carrying 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 sanctions have worked in the past is because the us 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 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 hours 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. 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. in a bid for more diversity u.s. theatre has scrapped the production of cinderella because the cast was too white we believe unapologetically 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 cast was 98 percent white breaking its diversity policies but eyebrows have been raised as the company's based in a suburb the overwhelmingly white making it hard to fill the racial quotas and it ignited a firestorm on social media i will screw up my blouse or ever visit china ason 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. rivera of the reactionary times online news site says the theaters decision reflects a dangerous development. this whole cancel culture sort of super diversity mafia that is operating right now is basically what they're doing to me when i look at something like this from a far is they're trying to legitimize anti white racism i mean we're not talking about the public sector this is not you know let's say

a government entity that hired only white employees this is you know subjective issues this is or just say there was a play they somehow was cast that let's say that if they were in a black neighborhood where the story takes place you know and within black characters are we going to force them to cast white actors playing black people it just doesn't none of this really makes any sense other than the fact that they're one trying to call attention and create controversy maybe to bring attention to their theater who knows and to it's a another attempt to me again to legitimize this anti-white racism that we continue to see in plain sight in america in other places. russia has joined the annual earth hour environmental campaign and non-essential lights at 8 30 pm local time for analysis just about to come to an end here at this time zone marks across the

a 4th day blocking hundreds of shipping vessels from being able to access their route which is the shortest distance between asia and africa egyptian officials who are working to get the cargo ship moved say they are expected to be able to have the waterway clear within 48 to 72 hours but admit that the process could possibly take weeks here's our teams train new charges with the latest. traffic jam and one of the world's most vital trade arteries the suez canal blocked on tuesday when 822-4000 ton can. painter ship got stuck after strong winds and a sand storm knocked it off course there were hundreds of guesses why the ship and . the $1300.00 foot ship now lives in the canal for more than 4 days preventing other vessels from moving in either direction along the crucial trading pruett that's responsible for around 12 percent of world trade.
