a banned substance had the london and. other very good morning and thanks for joining us here. in the u.k. is warning the prime minister troubles brewing if more respect isn't shown to muslims insinuating the country could go the way of fronts this is after a teacher in northern england left parts of the community outraged by showing cartoons of the prophet muhammad to his class all we ask for is a bit of respect if one teacher can do it another teach can do it 5 years down the line and we do not want this to be the case otherwise we are not responsible for the actions of some individuals. however the arm says he condemns any assertions that promote violence the teacher who sparked the outrage showed the prophet muhammad caricature as during
4:02 am
a class debate on blasphemy in this family and now in hiding after receiving death threats he has apologized but has been suspended though some local muslims are demanding the school actually fire him however a petition calling on the school to reinstate him has now garnered more than 65000 signatures of the u.k. department for education has defended the teacher it is never acceptable to threaten the intimate data teaches we encourage dialogue between parents and schools when he she has emerged schools are free to include a full range of issues ideas and materials in their curriculum including where they are challenging a controversial subject or they obligations to ensure political balance outrage over a similar case that occurred in france last october led to the brutal murder of some your party history teacher this was near paris he was beheaded by a terrorist have to show in cartoons of the prophet muhammad to his pupils.
4:03 am
on the inside one of our competitors was murdered because he thought our compassionate was the victim of an islamist terror attack. to india from christian concern mowen sarek political and social commentator locked horns over the issues raised. 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 to tears civil rights system pushing against islam pushing against muslims marginalizing them and it's open season on muslims courage attack them on free
4:04 am
speech places and people make themselves up to be free speech martyrs or somehow muslims become inflamed of 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 opened a 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 the police going 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 and 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 to worst of the ideas racism hatred we know it's not ok to be racist against muslims to make the argument is your right to be racist or is this
4:05 am
racist 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 so what's happening here is people are trying to shut down a discussion and using threats of violence when people judge. people who work with the english defense league you keep anti muslim interest across europe and the rest of the while to try and demonize muslims marginalize them would have enough you will not win the cultural debate of is it ok to be poke fun at and be racist against muslims out of their loved ones reza what else is and you don't get to be offensive towards us. there's another cultural debate raging across the english channel where a french left wing politician is under fire for saying white people should stay out of discussions on racism critics say the remarks yet another sign of foul u.s. style woke culture is undermining french these on the show do pretty small.
4:06 am
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 this reunions exists now reprove a reason member of the paris local authority and is standing in the upcoming regional 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 and let others speak in issues that concern them her comments severed opinion a strong scrambles to deal with
4:07 am
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. martin luther 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 their skin but by the qualities of their personality but ordinary poor vos remarks gain support from some on the left including from the leader of france and by out who said that she had merely understood what it discussion group is politicians have been more than vocal
4:08 am
but what do ordinary people think is it ok to exclude white people from a debate and if so is not racist. it's an obsolete or a new hope people can legitimize such nonsense we should dismantle this racist remarks from scratch. for me it's not acceptable to screwed white people for meetings i view that as racist. i think it's perfectly legitimate to exclude white people from the meetings because it. france has always been a country which respects human rights and does not look primarily at the color of people skin. just 70 of death and the numbers are oh not personally concerned about racism but i think it exists. i graduated frauds and involuntary manslaughter that's what french pharma giant survey has been
4:09 am
found guilty of in one of the country's worst health scandals this case revolves around the diabetes and weight loss drug mediator it's believed to cause at least 500 deaths because of heart problems the pill in question a been on the market already for 33 years it was used by 5000000 people we heard from someone who took the drug and now as a prosthetic heart valve. you know when a person is ruined for 10 years when you wear a mechanical pretty serious and take medication for 10 years to live you can't think this is normal has been going on every day since i retired this is crazy fortunately i called my lawyer who i need right now he's always ready to help us as you can see i came here with my daughter because someone must be with me all i can do is drive 20 to 30 kilometers a day we didn't get what we wanted but my lawyer will continue to pursue this case the manufacturer has been slapped with a fine of almost 3000000 euros even france is national medicine watchdog has been
4:10 am
fined for delaying the hold of drug sales the agency knowledge that was partly responsible for the scandal comes amid concerns of pharma companies allegedly lobbying government bodies. the survey says that it was unaware of the adverse side effects until the trial of begun but the french doctor who 1st discovered the fatal risks told us the company had been deliberately hiding vital information from patients at the bar. i have been fighting for 14 years for the fact to be recognised 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 is a punishment is not very high but the amount that will have to be paid as compensation from all the damage to millions of civilians affected by the fraud is
4:11 am
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 that. canada has become the latest in a growing list of countries to suspend the astra zeneca coronavirus vaccine because of safety concerns the country's immunization advisory committee said the risks were too high to give the jump to under 50 five's there is substantial uncertainty about the benefit of providing astra zeneca cope with $1000.00 vaccine to adults under 55 years of age given that the potential risks associated with v.o.i.p. id crossing particularly at the low estimated rates in the last week the country's drug watchdog it said the job was safe to use and recommended people get it did however update the label on the vaccine to war of risk of blood clots the move comes following recent data from europe to suggest the risk of blood clots could be
4:12 am
as high as one in 100000 or are there been no reports of cases in canada as yet we spoke to us dr about the potential risks of new coronavirus vaccines. we really don't have good scientific evidence either that or there's more corruption in some government agencies than in others and there are more conflicts of interest more interest in denying that there are that there are bad side effects i think that people need to understand that they're taking the vaccine at their own risk and that the manufacturers the distributors that sinead hers everybody is amusin from product liability so if a person dies or has a crippling neurologic disease or some other and verse effect very little if any compensation will be available we have tested this only for a few months and we have not tested it in the population there at hyatt highest
4:13 am
risk so i think that we're pretending to know a lot of things that we just really don't know and we can't right now because not enough time has passed. becomes the my can try said the u.s. southern border shows no sign of letting up be the restrictions on overcrowded detention facilities some seem to be increasing public interest in the crisis more much story after the. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
4:15 am
wing is guilty of a cover up or wants to establish why british cycling was allowed to run its own inquiry into a rider who tested positive for a banned substance in the run up to the london olympics she had was to house the story. the united kingdom anti doping agency has now found itself right in the middle of what's being described and dumped as the latest scandal in british sport so it comes as these allegations have now surfaced surrounding the investigation of an abnormal drug test all over cyclists during the london 2012 and limpid games so much so the world anti-doping agency is now weighing in and launching an 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 keen to do going to 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
4:16 am
individual provided a sample with an absolutely unusual amount of nandrolone which is a banned steroid in an out of competition test 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. it is for the issue can be resolved and is cooperating with water. we are working with the border to investigate claims relating to private testing carried out by british cycling in 2011 u.k. anti doping agency 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.
4:17 am
so now is saying it's reviewing all of its processes but of course given the length of time between 2012 an hour nearly a whole decade ago it's really making it difficult to connect the dots at this stage we are unable to give full comment on the story of the stage is the events took place of a 10 years ago and none of the senior management team involved have worked for british cycling for some time we were reviewing such archived records that exist from this period and lou 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 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 ride 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 the british medical register as
4:18 am
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 our great britain has always been one of the more dominant nations nations in the discipline stacking up new murderous medals 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. is the lot of 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 texas the federal government's also coming under pressure to let journalists some access to the morgue in explains. the biden ministration is now struggling to deal with an upsurge of illegal crossings of the us border we have detained individuals
4:19 am
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 at the it just does not want the american people to know anything that they were here standing in the in front of the pictures so you know that they were thinking the rules are arbitrary and there's i believe again to people i respect them and i want to fix this situation we are going to get an iteration you want a $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 trant
4:20 am
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 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 who we might quote of his using that language. while the associated press says it may not actually fit the dictionary definition of a crisis
4:21 am
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 the body ministrations trying to hide the mistakes he's made of the migrants 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 a dignified situation they've got thousands of people sleeping elbow to knee and big toed 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
4:22 am
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 become americans and reap the benefits of residents here this is not about that. pandemic is pushing brazil's health care system to the point of collapse it's a warning coming from medics is the deadly infection rate that tops one 100000 daily deaths that are approaching the $4000.00 mark ati's nicky at reports. while much of the world uses restrictions and vaccines to try to tame the coronavirus
4:23 am
brazil's outbreak is worse than it has ever been with almost all states as intensive care unit near or 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 $15000.00 in just one month and with only 2 percent of the population vaccinated for figure is approaching the worst level seen by the united states so how did things get so bad well brazil's 2 biggest cities have pleaded for people to stay home and the state runs fines and 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.
4:24 am
when of course there's brazil's our spoken president who has repeatedly undermined any attempt to impose restrictions so be a source for these people mainly because of the competence of the brazilian authorities and principly of 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. we're here because we don't have enough money have to pay my rent and i have 3 sons . we take what we can get because everything is expensive meat milk everything. if
4:25 am
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. 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 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 mobilized a 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 and already the man who famously branded kovi a little flu and the man who just weeks ago complained of the dangers of wearing
4:26 am
face masks has agreed to hold weekly meetings to discuss measures to curb the epic spread. a lot of were in the grip of a new variant of the corona virus this taking the lives of many brazilians we have 2 major challenges the 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 until now as a more contagious variant of the virus rampages across brazil from all skink is it too little too late or. at all today we don't know where brazil will end up and we can see the world looking at the country with astonishment and fear this causes. schools grow in germany to impose another strict coronavirus lockdown the country's
