germany suspends use of the vaccine for people under the age of 60 the reports of red blood clots including several fatal cases. with 1000000 doses sport make a vaccine as the spot the job not yet getting approval by the e.u. . and another cultural debate in france saw for a left wing politician insists white people should have no say in discussions about race.

international here just going to weigh in the russian capital on welcome to the program. now the german chancellor angela merkel has announced the nationwide suspension of the astra zeneca vaccine for people under the age of 60 this follows reports of rare blood clots which in some cases have proven fatal it's all over the latest. german chancellor angela merkel addressed the press after what had been a long day for a surprising story weren't expecting this to come out regarding the astra zeneca vaccine she confirmed that that job will now no longer be used in those under the age of 60 here in germany the standing committee for vaccination has published new recombination it's on the future use of the astra zeneca vaccine which have been discussed during intensive consultations in the past few days i quote on the basis of currently available evidence and considering the pandemic the comedia recommends the use of the astra zeneca called the 1000 vaccine on those over 60 what we know

from yen spawn the health minister a lot was passed on to him about where the the vaccination program would go next and he started by talking about the situation at hand he called it a. big setback that this had come out regarding the astra zeneca vaccine he said that 31 cases of blood clots and being confirmed in germany those had all been people who had received the astra zeneca vaccine of the no confirmation or a direct link between them all that they have in common is they had blood clots and they had the vaccine to be fatal yet was going to push the fact that the astra zeneca vaccine is a good vaccine in terms of fighting covert 19 that it does work he said that if those under the age of 60 wanted the astra zeneca vaccine specifically they should speak to their physicians and try and work out what was going on there he did try

and put a positive spin on all of this vaccination program across europe as we just heard from our colleagues they're not going particularly quickly here in germany there's been a lot of criticism over how it's been handled again spawn trying to spin this one in a positive way saying that that would mean that was more vaccines for the over sixty's to be vaccinated with the astra zeneca job in fact he went on to. quote statistics that have come out of both scotland and england where of course many many more people have been vaccinated with the astra zeneca job saying that it showed the to be much more effective than the face of beyond takes a vaccine in those over the age of 60 chancellor merkel was also asked where or and what she would be having when it came to vaccines the chancellor said that she would get her vaccine when it was her turn to have a vaccine didn't hint what particular job she would be going for the chancellor is over 60 though under her own suspension would be eligible for taking the astra

zeneca job. when it comes to the vaccination program as a whole yen spawn said that in the next quarter when they're expecting perhaps johnson and johnson vaccine to go online and for deliveries to arrive he expects a clear difference to be seen in the vaccination program germany isn't the only country though that's had issues with the astra zeneca job canada has also announced a suspension on giving the vaccine to its citizens under the age of $55.00 in canada the national advisory committee for vaccines in that country saying they couldn't take the risk. there is substantial uncertainty about the benefit of providing astra zeneca coded $1000.00 vaccine to adults under 55 years of age given that the potential risks associated with v.o.i.p. i-t. coursing particularly at the low estimated rates well this is just the latest thing involving the astra zeneca vaccine it was just

a few weeks ago that around 20 european nations as well as countries in central america africa and asia suspended the use of the job over concerns about blood clots that prompted a big investigation by the european medicines agency it was a big press conference that took place and cook the the director of the a.m.a. came out and said astra zeneca was fine to be used that allowed a lot of countries including germany to start using the job again while we also heard from the world health organizations then who said that the benefits of having the astra zeneca vaccine far outweighed any risks a different message coming out of germany on tuesday evening no chancellor merkel saying that the vaccine will now no longer be used on anybody under the age of 60 following well concerns over links to blood clots german political analysts to be on to vacillate gave us a sense of the feeling within the country about the latest developments. as i look

to barry computers that tyrants and this is not going to. the willingness of the people who are already relaxed it to dangerous after that it sees our own and it actually will increase their reluctance to get these things because what we are seeing now is the regulatory body. is not to trust it they're anxious is not the safety of the consumer us the ashes is only the profits of your. pharma company now the federal government has stopped basename people under the age of 60 because of concerns right i had doctors and one hospitals in germany this was forced on the government. by doctors and hospitals and showing that proof used to that their staff with astra zeneca.

has opened talks with the rusher up buying a 1000000 doses of it sputnik same chance of us about the plan which would make austria the 3rd e.u. country to purchase the job the move was received or got a response from brussels my colleagues rory sushi and saskia taylor earlier discussed the story the ease vaccine rollout continues to descend into chaos appetite for the sputnik the job continues to grow we've just heard straight from the austrian chancellor that apart just over 1000000 doses of the russian facts is on the cards something that sébastien cuts that could finally set people free if austria receives an additional 1000000 doses of the vaccine return to normal life is possible earlier and we could save many lives and jobs there should be no just political barriers with vaccines what matters is whether the vaccine is affective and safe not where it came from. now if the deal goes through they would be

delivered in 3 stages starting the 1st part in april the final to the free in june and it would make cost of the e.u. country to approve sputnik for use following in the footsteps of hungry. clearly 3 countries was so frustrated with the blocks roll out what they accuse on equal distribution that they were willing to go against brussels against brussels in the sense that technically sputnik the house not being approved by the made up process is underway and whilst officially individual member states can independently read just of vaccines for their own use brussels has made it clear that if you do that you're on your own e.u. countries have the right to allow the use of a vaccine that has not received the approval of the european medicines agency on the territory well in the image and sea basis however in this case the government of this country will be a full responsibility for the possible consequences of its use or message that somewhat jars with the european idea of one and one for rule but so brussels we

have to remember this is probably very humiliating you know it's seen shortages infighting already and every single headline and this latest from wall street that another member state has lost face in the blog is probably a bit you'd also mentioned hungary and slovakia what other countries are lining up and showing interest and support and agree while in the south of france the mayor of nice has said that he reached out to producers of sputnik the essentially to put in an order though he did say that he would not be administering the vaccine until it gets given the green light by the e m a which he anticipates in the summer and he really did wave away any misgivings about the job he said look guys it's registered in dozens of countries globally it's going very successfully case in point as though it is worth noting that politically that was a pretty bumpy decision the health minister was actually pushed to resign. a wave of criticism when the prime minister had to really come out very strongly and very

blunt need to defend his decision to seek russia's help the sputnik vaccine will not go back to russia it will save lives in slovakia i would never give it up our country is a fundamental part of the european union but i cannot turn down a quality vaccine that will save our people because it's made in russia i'm not a murderer well we'll see whether the austrian chancellor faces similar backlash but looking at this it really is quite clear the famous e.u. unity is failing the blocks failing to meet vaccine tomorrow but at the same time it's refusing to accept help from the board and it's almost issuing these 70 threats to those who take matters into their own hands apparently all in the name of politics so one really has to ask is a union that puts politics over public health really a union that's fit for purpose. a left wing politician and france is under fire for saying what people should stay out of racism discussions critics say the remarks

again another sign of how us style book is undermining french bonnie's is are you sure that it would skew. the empty white 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. it exists it exists this reunions exists now reprove a 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 and let others speak in issues that concern them her comments. 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 undermining universalis 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 this scale but by the qualities of their personality but audrey prove us wrong more gain support from some on the left including from the leader of france on barrett who said that she had merely and this stirred 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 the debate and if you say it's racist you know well it's an absolute core i don't know how people are going to legitimize such nonsense we should dismantle this racist remarks from scratch. only bikes if that particularly when you're in your for me it's not acceptable to screwed white people for meetings i view that as racist. and of positive i think it's perfectly legitimate to exclude white people from the meetings because it's their felicity i'm france has always been a country which respects human rights and does not look primarily at the color of people skin. just because 70 of ethernet in and parks are almost personally concerned about uncivilized racism but i think it exists see you know me let's address you if it were the other way around if the national party or rightwing m.p.

said that black or arabic people should be quiet during an event dedicated to the victims of terrorism that's also cause public outrage the entire political class all the media would just if i believed rail against this person and condemn him because it's racist france only sees 3 colors blue white and red it distinguishes between citizens only on their merits and not on their roots race or religion i think this is very serious obviously the statement by audrey paul why is racist and should be universally condemned there can be no double standards here racism is universal unfortunately there are various forms of racism and hatred and we are faced with this everywhere. you know what's in our international still to come new york police of voice the lawnmower a wave of hate crimes are going to asian americans in the city the latest of which have been caught on camera we'll bring you the latest right after this break.

the block clock is really the emerging truth you know time magazine called the truth machine and it's showing the truth about american politicians that they're full of hot air they have nothing to say they still everyone's money they collect taxes they spend on them so they try to. kill people overseas in the name of. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day. we. ask.

welcome back to the program the world health organization's released the long awaited report on the origins of covert where the virus came from. infected humans and had long conclusion is we still don't know what $300.00 page document says it's extremely unlikely the virus came from a lab the most likely scenario is that it passed from bats to another species and then on to humans one way that it could have made that final step is frozen or chilled meat the report says further investigation is needed and u.k. based senior medical experts believe the version of the most probable might be the most accurate. we will either find out or we will never find out but the

other empirical evidence clearly points to something on toward happened in china in will han province in the vicinity of the large wet market that much we know and that much we mustn't allow to be washed away by history i don't believe that this is a transfer from frozen foods brought in from somewhere else the science is very easy and straightforward that this is of about origin and most likely thing is the farming practices around time in other words the the sars virus arose as a result of going from bad to an intermediate creature in that creature it reasserted and created a new pandemic strain which is now communicable to humans that that bit i think is what has happened in one. resident of the moscow region turned his neighborhood

into a war zone on tuesday what started off as an attempt at a rest by police at his house spiraled into an all out gun fight ending with a devastating fire artie's in a prank or reports from the same. the house pretty much everything apart from the break walls has been burned to ashes but the fate of the man who caused so much chaos and havoc in a small town just to the north of moscow remains unknown we have heard reports from sources within the police that he burned alive inside that building but for that for now we don't have official confirmation this was a real scare for the locals 1st of all the sound the sound of gunfire the sound of grenade launchers the amount of security equipment here the number of officers fully armed something completely extraordinary for a towel like that and the siege that lasted for about 10 hours this makes me ask

the question what kind of man was he that shooter what we know is that he's 61 year old but previous see he was unknown to the public and also this makes me wonder what kind of arsenal was there inside that house that he was able to withstand the siege for so long according to the officials police were in the middle of a probe into an arms trafficking case and they showed up for a check up at the man's case and instead of letting the officers in the 61 year old shooter began to shoot at them from a machine gun and reportedly through 2 grenades at them that was the point when it became clear that a group of police officers simply wouldn't be able to deal with the situation so swat teams were called in but the man didn't give up he continued to respond with fire and he continued to throw grenades luckily none of the local residents were hurt in this but i can tell you that one security officer was seriously wounded in

the leg he's been taken to hospital but i'll tell you what the siege only ended after the swat teams used when they'd longers hours. as a result of that the house was completely on fire and it was incredibly dangerous for the fire brigade because again it was unclear what kind of arsenal of weaponry was inside that house again god knows how this man was able to do what he was up to and noticed which led to this massive unexpected scare thank god without many consequences. new york police have launched 2 hate crime probes into attacks on asian residents which happened on monday both cases were caught on camera the n.y.p.d. says it brings the total number of asian anti asian 8 crimes in the city to around 30 so far this year with more details here scale of more pain and a warning to our young viewers who may find some of the footage upsetting. we have

an ongoing wave of anti asian hate crimes here in new york city now the latest incident involving a 65 year old asian woman who was brutally attacked by a heavily built african-american man he proceeded to both punch and kick her to stomp on her quite disturbing footage. now what seems to bother people the most is that there are several eyewitnesses in the video who didn't intervene did not step up to stop the attacker and that is

very similar to something that took place on the new york city subway another anti asian hate crime which video has also been made available of take a look. at . least. in. the. economy. now the new york city police department says there is a sharp increase in anti asian hate crimes they say there have been $27.00 similar incidents that took place over the course of the last year 12 of which were violent

assaults. now there has been a conversation among the u.s. public about anti asian racism we've heard statements from the biden ministration as president biden said during his 1st primetime address and asian violence is in a phobia is run it's un-american and it must stop today president biden is announcing new actions to respond to the increase in acts of and to asian violence and to advance safety inclusion and beeline for all asian american native hawaiian and pacific islander communities and now we have a children's book publisher that is stepping up and removing one of the books written by children's offer author dave pilkey one of his children's books which was published reported to basically repeat and play up anti asian stereotypes the publisher has removed it it was brought to my attention that this book also contains harmful racial sirrah types and passively racist imagery in wars and ease wrong and harmful to my asian readers friends and family and to all asian people i

hope you my readers will forgive me and learn from my mistakes that even unintentional and passive types and racism is harmful to everyone. now at this point the publisher has promised that they will be giving the royalties from this book that was deemed to be offensive to entities and non-profits that are dedicated to opposing anti asian racism now in asian american communities throughout the united states there have been community patrols that have been formed and they've been giving elderly asian americans a whistles so that if they are targeted by a racist attacker they can blow the whistle and maybe you know get the attention of people that are around them and that's one measure that has been taken there's been a number of statements by celebrities that have been made about the need to stand against anti asian racism we've heard from the white house but at this point people are wondering will this be able to have an impact will this wave of anti asian

violence be able to be stopped because right now on the streets so we continue to see footage of what is taking place very brutal very disturbing and it doesn't appear to be stopping. in one of france's was the health scandals the farm a joint survey has been found guilty of fraud and involuntary manslaughter a case rolls around the top and weight loss drug media talk which is believed to have caused at least 500 deaths due to heart problems the pill had been used by 5000000 people over a 3 decade period we heard from someone who took the drug and now has a heart valve fitted. you know when a person is ruined for 10 years when you with a mechanical pretty soon 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 $3000000.00 euros even the french medicines watchdog has been fined for delaying the hold of drug sales the agency acknowledged that was partially responsible for the scandal which comes amid rising concerns over the law being power of pharma companies will serve us as it was unaware of the adverse side effects until trials began french doctors who 1st discovered the fatal risks though told us the company deliberately withheld information from patients doesn't remember. i have been fighting for 14 years for the fact to be recognised that's an 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 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. a boom bust coming up in just a few hours time here in our international banks for staying with us we're back in half an hour the latest headlines to join us again that. the biden ministration has made it clear its foreign policy will be informed by the protection and spread of western liberal values it would seem values are far more important than national economic security not surprisingly got all countries in the world are in agreement with biden's vision for the global order.

problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we've seen very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invaded america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she did those after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients don't use manufacturers i think government. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

tyson nation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. away. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a mate in the shallows. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the

day or thinks. we dare to ask. this is boom box the one business show you can't afford to miss how much more in washington coming up the u.s. fight against covert 19 continues to heat up as president biden has announced that nearly all adults.
