it's just one of the books that is undoubtedly sat back in one of the vaccines available to us for this pandemic to pose an increased risk for a certain age group germany suspends the vaccine for people under 60 over fears of rare but potentially fatal blood clots leaving in limbo those who've already received their 1st dose of the. vicious attacks against asian americans in the united states this pressure mounts on president biden over how he'll deliver on his promise to counter the rising hate being directed against the community. passes a law giving doctors the right to refuse medical treatment on moral or religious grounds discriminates against the community we put up the debate.
1:01 am
i can't be compelled to care for somebody that i have the moral objection to or procedures that are just figuring or something like that denying best practice medical care for the transgender youth has been shown tribute to depression social isolation. by that very good morning to you and thanks for joining us this is art. the german health minister has described decision to suspend the use of the astra zeneca vaccine for people under 60 a setback that decision was based on reports of blood clots which in some cases have proven fatal unclear what will happen to those in the affected age bracket who have already had their 1st dose of the job. insta hits right for the 2nd dose of
1:02 am
astra zeneca for those under 60 who have already had the 1st dose the standing committee for vaccination will take a formal position by the end of a trail. acknowledging the news that had come through from the robert cock institute the public health body here in germany regarding potential links between the vaccine and blood clots and those that had taken it i'm going to merkel said these concerns could not be ignored alongside angola merkel was health minister yen spawn at the press conference he described the news coming out about astra zeneca job as a major blow is this all of it is undoubtedly a sad back that one of the vaccines available to us for this pandemic appears to pose an increased risk for a certain age group 31 pieces of cerebral vento stromboli had been reported after vaccination with the astra zeneca jab 9 of which were unfortunately fetal. there
1:03 am
was an attempt to put a positive spin on the news by health minister yen spawn though he said that the fact that this vaccine wouldn't be used on the under sixty's meant there was more of it to vaccinate the over sixty's it's not just germany that had concerns over astra zeneca though also in canada they've suspended its use there it's for those under the age of $55.00 that will be no longer getting it that's after the national advisory committee on vaccines decided it wasn't worth the risk there was substantial uncertainty about the benefit of providing astra zeneca coded $900.00 faxing 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 it's only a couple of weeks since the last scandal involving astra zeneca and links to blood clots that saw suspensions of the vaccine across europe as well as in central
1:04 am
america or in africa and. asia as well it prompted an investigation by the european medicines agency and ultimately a big press conference by the director m.r. cook in which he said that the astra zeneca of oxy was fine for use a lot of countries where that prompted a lot of countries to repeal that suspension including germany the language merkel has said that the country is going back on that reversal of the suspension and the astra zeneca vaccine will now no longer be used for anyone under the age of 60 across germany. i completely understand being cautious but the problem of stopping the vaccination all the time is that we are already so far behind compared to the rest of the world and that is very disappointing because there are many restrictions and vaccines are the only thing we're trusting so we need to receive clear messages for citizens not to get confused it's helped us give us i feel that they're now really rushing ahead to fast if you look at the side effects they're very rare if you read the information leaflets of aspirin or ibuprofen or any other
1:05 am
those have much more serious side effects and we swallow those daily more or less. i think it is very very good that the vaccines were as a valid so fast and they would talk about the side effects because silence of that information would be so much worse but i also think that due to everyone having an opinion on it now it kind of make the whole vaccination process fall into pieces. in the meantime astra zeneca has rebranded its facts scene which will now go under the name of vaccines amid the company's struggle to reassure the public about its safety but a number of experts believe that the damage to the germs reputation's already been done. a rebranding right in the midst of such and such a can pain is something of a rarity and you have rebranding complains but usually not in the midst of a crisis possibly patients sitting at the at the vaccination point see on a day with a package and they read astra zeneca vaccine on the package and maybe in the last
1:06 am
moment they panic and refuse to accept that vaccine but it may as well backfire infect it may seem like an evasion move like something in hiding so it may really carry a rather negative effect in this case and a 1000000 people you know you would expect very few cases of these terrible blood clots you know the ones in the in the sinuses in the brain in the venous system in the brain in the dissemination coagulation route the body just terrified and they're seen it you know in younger women so with this. it's very hard to commit to the public now because now you know they see faulty vaccine data you know used the wrong dose they corrected the dose and they had the wrong. figure sirree they had to change that so a lot of suspicion about this it's terrible because you know rick the thing is is that there are 2000000000 doses from 92 geishas that are need
1:07 am
a lot of poor countries are going to get you know the high tech expensive x.e. . attacks on asian americans show no sign of letting up police in new york of love to hate crime probes of results on asian residents on monday one of the victims was an elderly filipino woman who was brutally beaten while her male assailant yelled racial slurs. you are. and 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
1:08 am
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. 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
1:09 am
assaults now there has been a conversation among the us public about an asian racism we've heard statements from the biden ministration as president biden said during his 1st primetime address and to violence and said a full day is wrong it's un-american and must stop today president biden is announcing new actions to respond to the increase in acts of and. violence and to javan safety inclusion and belonging for all asian american native hawaiian and pacific island to come in h.s. 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
1:10 am
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 it's very brutal very disturbing and it doesn't appear to be stopping the killing just mentioned volunteers giving out whistles to elderly asian americans that project organized from san francisco has been dealt a blow to some $700.00 whistles meant to be distributed was stolen amid the increased funds targeting asians in america streets some of the looking to direct ways to counter for example a publisher has pulled a children's book over its depiction of a martial arts instructor called must the wall some of deemed offensive in the form of passive racial stereotyping we spoke to historian joad horne about joe biden's role in the issue. he needs to realize that by wanting this new cold war against china simultaneously helping to create conditions for the rise of
1:11 am
violent it seems to me that for the foreseeable future we're bored to have difficulties because china's ascendancy is not going away any time soon and i'm afraid to see the political education in united states is not very sophisticated not very high in an ugly believe. in american anti pacific islander america violence. the u.s. state of arkansas has passed a law that gives doctors the right to refuse medical treatment on moral or religious grounds and it's prompted a swift backlash from bt activists who claim that it will restrict their access to health care and to passing the state senate bill was approved last friday by governor asr hutchinson advocacy groups say the new law will discriminate against people in the state governor stressed the right to refuse care there's not apply to emergency treatment and that federal laws banning discrimination still apply
1:12 am
i support this right of conscience so long as emergency care is exempted and conscience objection cannot be used to deny general health service to any class of people most importantly the federal laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race sex gender and national origin continue to play to the delivery of health care services. last one of several bills making their way to the arkansas governor's desk the state senate recently also approved a ban on gender affirming treatment including hormone therapy for children who identifies transgender senator say the legislation will protect children or the l g b t group say that it could lead to an increase in depression and suicide among youngsters it's an issue we put up for debate. religious liberty is a fundamental american value right and it's protected by the 1st amendment and numerous states and federal laws but religious liberty doesn't give anyone
1:13 am
a special right to discriminate against others just because of who they are you know i can't be compelled to care for somebody that i have a moral objection to or procedures that are disfiguring or something like that it's like if i was a catholic i wouldn't you know participate in abortions you know it's i find that reproach you know i don't find that morally acceptable if a credit growth is an oath of ethics that is taken by physicians and you'll find that most of these physicians trust evidence based best practice age appropriate medical care and they want to save lives right so i don't know very many doctors who would. have reasons or scenarios in which they would be refusing care to any patients have rights but so does the medical community have rights that doesn't say these people are going to get medical care they will get medical care but some individuals physicians pharmacists nurses might want to opt out for religious or moral reasons which is ethical denying best practice medical care and support to
1:14 am
transgender youth has been shown to contribute to depression to social isolation to self-hatred in the united states children can't smoke under until they're 21 they can't drink till 21 they can't get a tattoo till they're 18 and yet we're going to have them do mutilating surgeries because of a whim i mean that is really dangerous you know if i started smoking at 16 i could stop smoking but this is markedly different there wise we changed dramatically ever i think that this is a coordinated strategy by specific anti algae t.q. organizations that have local partners that are pushing. these bills well obviously we never want to discriminate against anybody like with their black or you know gay. you're just making a difference this is a little bit different in terms of when we start as physicians or nurses or a medical step criticism painting in some type of care that we would find morally

fear being fired or reprimanded for what they say online is a chilling finding that most people in the country now are afraid they would be fined if they express their real views on social media of the nearly 2000 people who were surveyed more than 60 percent of the fud growing council culture is a threat to their freedom while 54 percent say it is endangering their job security we canvassed opinion on the issue on the streets of new york. people are creative and have a different mindset some artist decide to do different things people you next door neighbors affected the different you that you might not agree on i don't feel that you should ruin their entire lives over what they think in their mind even though it is harsh and if you like the market sometimes i think it does carry people and it makes people think and made. sure you know. inappropriate. the idea of canceling canceling
1:18 am
is bad and is not a good way of. creating difficult conversations because difficult conversations are very important to making difficult topics less difficult. to really change the way that a person interacts with the world or using. to also understand like being fed up with having to respond to people so far this year so it's always more complicated when it's presented. journalist to chadwick more gives his thoughts on council culture and how it affects people today. in the past we've always sort of focused on the government and focused on protecting the constitution but of course in this in this day and age the threats are coming not really from the government they're coming from businesses from private corporations and most importantly from each
1:19 am
other so that makes it interesting and different i think from anything else that we've really experienced in culture before it's you know and it's such a lot of this has become a social media mob being and threats to docs to get people fired and. not. on many levels and most importantly it has a chilling effect on public discourse among people being able to speak their minds to openly. discuss and advocate for things that they can for the things that they truly believe in and their criticisms that maybe what's going on in culture and in government and even mechanical care itself as we've seen just criticizing cancel culture 'd can get you canceled. will help open eyes ation has released a long awaited report on the all regions of cove it's where the fires came from and how it's infected humans and the headline conclusion is like still doesn't know the 300 page document says it's extremely unlikely the virus came from
1:20 am
a lab the most like sonora is it passed from bots to another species and then to humans on the way that it could have made the funnel a peaceful frozen no chilled meat and full size further investigations needed u.k. by senior medical experts believe the version of the most probable monkey 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 could 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. in other words the the sars virus
1:21 am
arose as a result of going from 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. a sleepy suburb just to the north of asco turned into something more closely resembling a war zone on tuesday or started off as a visit by a police officers investigating arms trafficking spiraled into a shootout resulting in a fire and reportedly the death of the suspect in the be trying to reports from the scene. 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
1:22 am
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
1:23 am
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 grenade launchers. as a result of that the house was completely on fire and it was incredibly dangerous for the fire brigades 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 notice which led to this massive unexpected scare thank god without
