and years like we've been saying and you would have $101520000000.00 even if you started with 5 or $6000.00 of. the u.k. in america see a massive rise in attacks on asian people reflecting the global trend of scapegoating the community for the pandemic. it's really gays and racism has been such a common thing for so long just by high up when. then we're just you know we feel. french minister cries foreign interference over the funding of a huge mosque in stride getting cash from the city council. has. brought in to do with growing global rules criminalizing into course without explicit approval. 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 because it's unintended consequence is open to gauge for predatory litigation. life for moscow this is the international money welcome to the program. hundreds of marched through central san francisco calling for an end to violence against asian americans. almost 4000. were 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. asian attacks and hate crimes have shot up an astonishing 300 percent with the
4:02 pm
supposed chinese origins of coronavirus being used as a justification to 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
4:03 pm
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 us talk into a brick wall or sometimes you can try to say as much as you want but if they're not going to listen you can't convince them of them pinin 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 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'm a people who are really like every time we hear. expression right i have definitely experienced racism throughout my life. and i think it's well something it's an
4:04 pm
important conversation to be having with people just to raise awareness and it's something i think a lot of ha. 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 case just 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
4:05 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 argue that these racist attitudes have always existed either through microaggression so casual comments here and there is 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. hating foreign interference that's how a top french minister is described by the city as trust fund the turkish most.
4:06 pm
reports of the top level rise 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-million euro subsidy to the mealie gora's islamic confederation the group but pan-european movement for the turkish diaspora says it's dumb founded by the right now. because i think that it is a controversy that is totally political and it's hard for us to understand the why
4:07 pm
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 most 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
4:08 pm
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 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 because the presidential elections are 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 strasbourg say the funding is contingent on the 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
4:09 pm
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 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 ferry 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 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
4:10 pm
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. yes isn't to fear and perhaps try it in 1st 3 months of working in france and it's known there have been difficulties between the french in 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 will ski out see stroudsburg. in the
4:11 pm
mood for love well you'd better have a good phone connection so you can connect to a sexual consent app boyd says it can help you avoid getting into legal mix ups later down the line the development comes straight out of hollywood. are are up i consent to that so. far stars are. in a move towards addressing growing concerns over rape cases police commissioner in australia has already proposed using such an app one in denmark there was a recent change in the new or that makes explicit consent to sex mandatory they've got an out for the 2 consent requires users to give approval via their phones and stores the digital documents prove the 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
4:12 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 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 it were just for research purposes in the sense
4:13 pm
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 root 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 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 especially because of social media children are especially vulnerable to raising the bar of thinking what is appropriate in order to be accepted in society it's
4:14 pm
really caught in a lot of confusion especially for the younger generation. 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 protests against a proposed bill to let me set time and noise limits on rallies police deployed dogs and pepper spray to disperse the crowd as the demonstration turned violent with people hurling projectiles and officers. meanwhile 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 the youngest victim is believed to be 5 years old it takes the total number of deaths since the coup
4:15 pm
$400.00. lesa fired rubber bullets and tear gas at hundreds in bangladesh as they protested the visit of india's prime minister he's accused of heightening religious tensions and discriminating against india's muslims demonstrators in muslim majority bangladesh shoes in protest to attack offices. coming up in a predominantly white us suburb council's a production because it's cost to white stories after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. very dramatic probably only. exists i
4:16 pm
don't see how that strategy will be successful very. you said.
4:17 pm
china slapped 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 with the u.s. and canada western leaders of acute beijing of human rights abuses against its we go to muslim minority with washington even claiming genocide the u.s. says china's holding members say the camps of reeducation purposes and to combat terrorism also online commentator simon wright takes a swipe at the tit for tat politics at 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 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
4:18 pm
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 on the many demanded of heart to construction of the north stream to so despite the sanctions use it 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 geopolitical weapons that are equal parts flexible and hypocritical you can really
4:19 pm
use them to show off your humanitarian credentials to the world we will not be silenced into speaking out about these human rights abuses the international pressure will only continue to grow sounds good actually do for chinese officials one organization they did sanction. britain's foreign secretary 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
4:20 pm
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 a pipeline which brings lots of lovely cheap gas international solidarity is pretty much always for 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 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
4:21 pm
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. the times are changing sanctions may no longer be a one way street. britain's hospitality industry has fired back at the prime minister's suggestion that customers who haven't received a covert 90 job could be banned from bars i do think that the basic concept of vaccines to vacation 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
4:22 pm
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 just going out to the pub and stuff. i don't think the lander 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 i want to go. pry into your power been all the older people are there they will be quite justifiably annoyed if i break 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 code restrictions to mean there's
4:23 pm
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. and i haven't heard a single good reason for doing so publicans are outraged by the possibility of another attack on the sector while business owner we heard from says she's ready to throw in the towel. the hack is gathering in our industry where else our way is cool because it's so close it implemented i don't know what the sign says that i want the goldman sachs tape to be able to say that i was this instrument you know so good at this it's a big worry and i hate rights 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 a little not that we got shot at you axes people's heads some mental health is going to be static and say it's final this autumn down the science or that everyone else meets up again welcome i don't get why we don't know but this is making an absolute
4:24 pm
mess yet again great solace is somebody could have a longstanding i'm not that it might be out there was absolutely not anything to do with the hospitality sector 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. and paid for more diversity and give us theater has scrapped the production of 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 how did guests will follow us on these johnny the artistic director of the minnesota production says the cast was 98 percent white breaking its diversity policies but eyebrows a bit raised as the company's based in a suburb that's overwhelmingly white making it hard to fill racial quotas or to ignite a firestorm on social media i will screw up my blouse or ever visit chanhassen
4:25 pm
dinner theater declaring the diversity caught on local dinner theater is simply bad business and are necessary no problem one move venue to never get my money ever again. rivera 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 let's say there was a play they somehow was cast that let's say that there are in a black neighborhood there's a story takes place you know and within black characters are we going to force them
4:26 pm
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. before we go to russia joins the annual environmental campaign and non-essential lights at 8 30 pm local time for an hour. across the country were gradually to duck including red square. symbolic efforts organized by the world wide fund for nature and is designed to raise awareness of ecological problems and climate change events moving through the time zones with parts of western europe switching off the lights that face our. u.k. and portugal you know next in

4:28 pm
how dangerous are they for humans family you know in 2021 russian scientists came quite close to working out what's going on. they built a full scale 3 d. model of the black hole. i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report. let's check in with stacey hey maxwell you know one of the things they 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
4:29 pm
haven't ended so well and looking at the 2 cities trap coming real as they see the interactions between the by the end of ministration and chinese delegations around 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 just sounds like capitalism right like they're they're 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
4:30 pm
us projecting the meekest of images and still of from chinese 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 in the gut call lincoln. the guy caught in the headlights 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 lincoln.
