uncles and one of our competitors was murdered because he thought our compassionate was the victim of an islamist terror attack. to india from christian concern among political and social commentator a lot forms over the issues. this could be very easily turning into some kind of a powder keg and you do not throw that matches into such things we've seen in france and in many european countries the rise of the far right we've seen some 2 tiers of the right system pushing against islam pushing against muslims
2:04 am
marginalizing them and it's open season on muslims courage attack them on free speech places and people make themselves up to be free speech martyrs or somehow muslims become inflamed with their own 15 western values so what's most alarming here is that a teacher asked her to go into hiding with police protection because what he's done he's he's discussed a point of discussion about a cartoon and the why the subject of blasphemy he hasn't actually hurt anyone he hasn't actually even threatened any violence and yet there are obviously very real threats of violence against him so much so that the police to protect him and take his family his wife and his children into hiding i think that is very very concerning and i think we need to recover a sense of normality in a sense of people being able to openly discuss and educate people about these things but i've been around the block a few times and have this discussion a few times every time we've had this discussion on free speech and debate we have put down do worst of the ideas racism hatred we know it's not ok to be
2:05 am
racist against muslims to make the argument is it alright to be racist or is this racist that we need to learn about religion that we need to learn about what people believe and we need to openly discuss them and so people and super about it let's be very clear about this that discussing a cartoon it's got about how it has nothing to do with basis and it's not racism at all and what's happening here is people are trying to shut down discussion and using threats of violence really will judge. people who work with the english defense league you keep anti muslim interest across europe and the rest of the what i'll do you try and demonize muslims marginalize them would have enough you will not win the cultural debate. or is it ok to be you poke fun and be racist against all of the answers read what else is in you don't get to be offensive towards us ok . the gum of left wing politician reignites a national debate on identity politics of france saying white people must keep quiet when brace is in is this going to.

manufacturers been slapped with a fine of almost 3000000 euros france's medicine watchdog has also been fined for delaying the hold of drug sales the agency acknowledged it was partly responsible for the scandal comes amid concerns of pharma companies allegedly lobbying government bodies. survey says that it was unaware of the adverse side effects until the trial began but the french doctor who 1st discovered the fatal risks told us the company been deliberately hiding vital information from patients. it doesn't remember. i have been fighting for 14 years for the fact to be recognized that incredible fraud was committed by a large french manufacturer a pharmaceutical company with a good reputation which secretly released a strong poison on the market and was selling it for more than a decade and totally knew what it was doing it is difficult to find words to describe such actions this is called a crime namely aggravated fraud the fine they have to pay as
2:08 am
a punishment is not very high but the amount that will have to be paid as compensation for more damage to millions of civilians affected by the fraud is still impressive about $200000000.00 euros so the total payments are negligible but the court's decision in general is frustrating it is not enough. the world under begins is looking into whether its u.k. wing is guilty of cover up water monstrous damage white british cycling was allowed to run its own inquiry into a rider who tested positive for a banned substance in the build up to the london olympics. he has a story. the united kingdom anti doping agency has now found itself right in the middle of what's being described and dubbed as the latest scandal in british sport so it comes as these allegations have now surfaced surrounding the investigation of an abnormal drugs test all over cyclists during the london 2012 olympic games so much so the world anti-doping agency is now weighing in and launching an
2:09 am
investigation some of the information provided to wada on this is of significant concern we have asked our independent intelligence and investigations department to look into this matter and to conduct you can see further information well it's claimed that u.k. 80 which is of course the board is responsible for policing clean sport domestically allegedly allowed british cycling to conduct its own probe after this individual provided a sample with an absolutely unusual amount of nandrolone which is a banned steroid in and out of competition tests plausible explanations range from health issues one end but other ends and explanations include contaminated supplements and that's exactly what waters investigation is all about looking at how likely any of these options really are of course as a reminder under the water code it would be up to u.k. a d. to conduct such a probe at the time however it's now understood that u.k. is for the issue can be resolved and is cooperating with water we are working with
2:10 am
water to investigate claims relating to private testing carried out by british cycling in 2011 you can it is examining archives to confirm decisions that were taken in 2011 followed due process set by wada now it's claimed that british cycling conducted its own testing absolutely privately and did not then pass on those results to the u.k. a.d.f. so now is saying it's reviewing all of its processes but of course given the length of time between 2012 and now or nearly a whole decade ago it's really making it difficult to connect the dots at this stage we're. able to give full comment on the story at this stage is the events took place over 10 years ago and none of the senior management team involved have worked for british cycling for some time we are reviewing such archived records that exist from this period and a loop that is not a straight forward or quick process we will share the findings with the relevant parties well this is the 2nd scandal to sweep the nation for british cyclists this
2:11 am
month or earlier a former british cycling team dr richard freeman was found guilty of not only ordering a banned substance but knowing and believing it was to be used to dope a rider at the time back in 2011 now freeman has since been charged by u.k. deal with 2 anti doping or violations and completely struck off at the british medical register as a result as well so not looking too good then this month but of course the timing of all this is particularly bad with lesson 128 days to go before the tokyo games again it's really bad timing considering great britain has always been one of the more dominant nations nations in the discipline stacking up new murderous medals out of various competitions now there is of course serious doubt now cast even in retrospect cast on the performances at the london 2012 olympics and other victories including other competitions like the tour de france. left wing politician has
2:12 am
come under fire in france after saying that white people must be silent when discussing racism it's once again spontaneous national debate about the encroachments of us star world culture and the undermining of french values picks up the story. the empty wine debate has been stirred up once again here in france this time after a black politician waded into a row that's been raging over the student union which admitted it held meetings about discrimination that excluded white people this is what exists it exists is this real unions exist now reprove member of the paris local authority and this standing in the coming elections has added her $0.02 she suggested white people could be allowed into those meetings but only if they keep quiet. i'm not saying anyone should be banned from entering but they should stay silent
2:13 am
and let others speak in issues that concern them her comments severed opinion sprung scrambles to deal with a rise in identity politics for those on the right this is seen as an unwelcome american import that's undermining universalist french valleys a form of personal culture in my region no resident should be discriminated against for the call of the skin there is no such thing as acceptable racism i will always be a bulwark against those who try to fracture our country others went even further saying that. the unit students' union with the stuff of martin luther king's knowing is. the king would be turning in his grave he who dreamed of living in a country where people would not be judged by the color of this scale but by the qualities of their personality but all 3 prove those remarks gain support from some
2:14 am
on the left including from the leader of france on buyout who said that she had merely understood what it discussion group is politicians have been more than vocal but what do ordinary people think. is it ok to exclude white people from a debate and if so is that racist you know well it's an absolute core i don't know how people going to legitimize such nonsense we should dismantle this racist remarks from scratch. in your for me it's not acceptable to exclude white people from meetings i view that as racist on of course as always i think it's perfectly legitimate to exclude white people from the meetings because that i feel is it's i'm front has always been a country which respects human rights and does not look primarily at the color of people's skin. the non packs are oh no it's personally
2:15 am
consumed about racism but i think it exists. those are countless hours of my good crisis of the year so the border shows no sign of letting up media restrictions that overcrowding potential for certain don't seem to be increasing public interest in the crisis more after the break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask.
2:16 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. no let up in the crisis on america's southwest border with thousands of migrants crossing from mexico on a daily basis many are being held at severely overcrowded detention facilities in
2:17 am
texas the federal government's also coming under pressure to journalist access and has details. the biden administration is now struggling to deal with an upsurge of illegal crossings of the us border we have detained individuals being held in overcrowded facilities but the biden ministration does not seem to be anxious to let the public know what is really going on we recently saw republican u.s. senator ted cruz visiting a facility only to have officials from the immigration and customs enforcement blocking his view and preventing him from taking a photograph this is what happened when ted cruz visited a detention facility for migrants you were hired 2 weeks ago and you're instructed to ask us to not have any pictures taken these respected because the political leadership of the dia just does not want the american people to know anything that we're here standing in the in front of the pictures so you know that people are thinking the rules are arbitrary and there's i do believe that if people i really
2:18 am
respect them and i want to fix this situation we are going to get an illustration you're one of the $400.00 responsible for these conditions now at this point the biden ministration continues to say what it is said all along which is that it is committed to transparency however when the time comes to actually let that transparency happen we have some pretty strong excuses coming from jen psaki of the white house spokesperson here's what we've heard we are mindful of the fact that we are in the middle of a pandemic we want to keep these kids safe keep the staff safe but we are absolutely committed to transparency and providing access to media to the border patrol facilities and we're working to get that done as soon as we can so this is being set up and you have access to everything once we get to see. it just to be clear how soon will that be mr president i don't know. to be clear. now at this point we've got some voices that seem to be determined not to portray
2:19 am
what's happening on the border as a crisis this is a memo from the associated press about how to describe the situation we should avoid or at the least be highly cautious about referring to the present situation as a crisis on our own although we may quote of his using that language. well the associated press says it may not actually fit the dictionary definition of a crisis a recent poll taken among the u.s. public shows that 76 percent of americans believe the situation on the us border is indeed a crisis radio host and political analyst day perkins believes that by the ministrations trying to hide the mistakes made of a migrant. the worst charge against them right now is mistreatment of these people these young people and children at the border someone claiming as jen psaki claims transparency is what you'll get and dignity and respect is what these people get and it's just completely opposite of that they're not in
2:20 am
a dignified situation they've got thousands of people sleeping elbow to knee and be towed to nose you know stacked on the floor so tight they have to sleep on their side and they can't roll over and that's a complete embarrassment for the by the ministration they're not even testing those people and i'm sure thousands of them do have various viral loads and are bringing them across to infect ordinary americans who are not as yet completely vaccinated so that's another great danger that is being forced on the american people in the name of this fraud because they want this story off the headlines when you ask biden when the transparency is going to be delivered by his administration he says i don't know they're up to something else this is not a matter of trying to help impoverished people from from 3rd world countries because americans and reap the benefits of residents here this is not about that.
2:21 am
i think coronavirus pandemic is pushing brazil's health care system to the point of collapse that's the warning coming from medics is the daily infection rate that tops while 900000 daily deaths are approaching the 4000 mark nikki ever reports. while much of the world uses restrictions on vaccines to try to tame the corona virus brazil's outbreak is worse than it has ever be with almost all states as intensive care unit at full capacity but patients continuing to arrive in their droves. brazil already accounts for one quarter of the world's daily coronavirus deaths new covert 9000 cases in the country topped 100001 march 25th with the weekly death rate doubling to 15000 in just one month and with only 2 percent of the population vaccinated the figure is approaching the worst level seen by the united states so how did things get so bad well brazil's 2 biggest cities
2:22 am
have pleaded for people to stay home and the state runs fine some technology institute has called for a 14 day lock down to reduce transmission but as we've all seen such measures are only as strong as the compliance of citizens. when of course there's brazil's our spoken president who has repeatedly undermined any attempt to impose restrictions which has in turn perhaps bolstered those who share his opinions as the daily death count surpassed 3500 rio's copacabana beach saw hundreds of moscow's protesters march many were in the conspicuous green and yellow shirts where minnesotans are pro bowl sonora rallies
2:23 am
be a source for them all these people mainly because of the competence of the brazilian authorities and principly all the brazilian government. did you think we could reach one 150000 deaths today see we reach 300000 dead it seems to real and this is however just the tip of the iceberg of brazil's covert inflicted suffering unemployment is peaking and with emergency cash payments from the federal government now being cut off the result has plunged millions into poverty that the god we're here. here because we don't have enough money i have to pay my rent and i have 3 sons we take what we can get because everything is expensive meal everything was destroyed if we could work we wouldn't be dependent on emergency aid we would need to come here and take from others who also need help at the moment i'm behind in my payments my car has broken down we only leave home to come here and get food . these here is no sanitizer in the favelas not face mosques when you need to fight

against hunger when you need to fight for survival so we really need help from society to maintain this operation so we can provide the minimal dignity for those who have nothing but it is a good thing we created a group of female cooks who have been working this story since last year we have already delivered more than 1300000 boxes here increase our police we have numberless the network of care so we can fight hunger in this crisis faced by the community brazil is in a state of crisis and only now is president both the noro the man who famously branded coded a little flu and a man who just weeks ago complained of the dangers of wearing face masks has agreed to hold weekly meetings to discuss measures to curb the epic spread if there will be a lot of us were in the grip of a new variant of the corona virus this taking the lives of many brazilians we have
2:25 am
2 major challenges virus and unemployment by the end of the year we will have more than 500000000 doses to vaccinate the whole population very soon we will return to our normal lives it's a tiny step forward for a man who continues to promote unproven covert 19 kills while his nation suffers and now as a more contagious variant of the virus rampages across brazil from all skink is it too little too late or too much know subsumes but i'll just say we don't know where brazil will end up. and we can see the world looking at the country with astonishment and fear these causes as great. as calls grow in germany to impose another strict coronavirus lock down the country's already struggling catering industries on tenterhooks of what the future might hold and food metzger a german burger chain owner is just one of many business owners struggling to stay afloat.
