when some find themselves worlds apart we look for common ground. it is undoubtedly a sad fact that one of the vaccines available to us from this pandemic appears to pose an increased risk for certain. germany suspends the astra zeneca vaccine for people under 60 that over fears of drab but potentially fatal blood clots leaving in limbo those who've already received the 1st dose of. pleasure man is brutally assaulted in the new york subway and the elderly filipino woman beaten in the city's streets the latest in a string of vicious attacks in the us against the community look at what's being done to quell the rising tide of hate. and the u.n. report finds $900.00. and january despite repeated claims by the french

military only just how this targeted. other thanks for joining us this morning you're watching international. germany's beleaguered franks in action program has suffered yet another blow with berlin again suspending use of the astra zeneca this time for the under sixty's and many in that age bracket you had their 1st already in limbo. it's a huge it's right for the 2nd dose of 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 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 america 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 a language that merkel has said that the country is going back on the 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 hopeless but 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 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.

meanwhile astra zeneca has rebranded its vaccine which will now go under the name of vaccine with the company's struggle to reassure the public about its safety but a number of experts believe the damage to the germs reputation has already been done. a rebranding right in the midst of such an 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 moment they panic and refuse to accept that that scene 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 the venous system in the brain and the dissemination coagulation route the body just terrifying and the scene that you know in 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 or 92 geishas that are need a lot of poor countries are going to get you know the high tech expense of vaccine . attacks on asian americans show no sign of letting up a place in new york or investigating to a solve some asian residents on monday one of the victims an elderly filipino woman who was brutally beaten while her male assailant yelled racial slurs.

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 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 assaults now there has been a conversation among the u.s. 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. environments and

to develop 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 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. just mentioned volunteers all giving out whistles to elderly asian americans throughout the u.s.

in san francisco the project has been to blow with some 700 whistles men for distribution being stolen. amid the increased fathers tugs engages in america's street some of the king to the less direct ways of countering it for example a publisher has pulled a children's book over depictions of a martial arts instructor called master wong some deemed offensive in the form of passive racial stereotyping we spoke with historian gerald horne about joe biden's role in the issue. he needs to realize that by wanting this new cold war against china he simultaneously helping to create conditions for the rise of violence it seems to me that for the foreseeable future we're going to have difficulties because china's ascendancy is not going away any time soon and i'm afraid to say the political education in united states is not very sophisticated not very high in an oblique bleeds into asian american anti pacific islander

america violence. $970.00 and killed in a french strike on a wedding in mali back in january of this year those are the findings of a new u.n. report into the incident menas maze able to confirm evidence celebration at the site of the strike had brought together $100.00 civilians at least $22.00 people including 3 of the suspected khateeb asaram a members present at the gathering were killed by the french strike on the 3rd of january 2021 inbound. ok let's go live now to our correspondent based in paris shiela do risky joins me very good morning charlotte. clearly there's a tragic element to whatever happened there in mali tell us more about the findings of this report. well as you saw there the u.n. report centers on a french airstrike that took place in central mali at the beginning of january it says that 19 civilians were killed in that attack and also 3 armed men when french

warplanes struck me a remote village school bounty no this is in the state of health that you know that report confirms what was said at the time by many villagers and locals in mali who said that that strike is it at a wedding party no no those claims at the time and still now are being disputed by the french army which says that it had been priests sysfs with its strike and that that strike had targeted just hardest now a spokesperson for the military has described the u.n. report has been based on fragile testimony and it says it has read sedations about the methodology that was used by the u n it says that it did and its remains that it maintains that targeted an armed terrorist group now the u.n. report is clear that civilians were killed in this attack 19 in total and it says that these civilians are protected persons under international humanitarian law now

it says its report is based on around a $115.00 individual testimonies with people on the ground and into fees and it says that this report the constituents are very rare criticism of the action or french forces in mali and the fact that france will accept this report has been with truth has angered some in the country. they're back and out of to do demosthenes it is time for france to stop telling lies because they accused a few lannie community of being spokespersons for jihadist or of being organizations that spread lies or rumors i would simply say it is high time the 1000000 armed forces especially the mullion military authorities begin to tell the truth to move towards reality. now mary has been struggling to contain islam ist insurgency which broke out all the way back in 2012 and french

troops it's been there since about a year after in 2013 to intervene and there are over 5000 french troops who are currently on the ground as part of that operation hell at the moment but the former colonial power has not had an easy ride in the region it hasn't always been received with open arms particularly as it is struggled over recent years to try and contain those extremists who are said to be highly mobile and highly knowledgeable about the area in which they're acting now hundreds of thousands of people of had to flee their homes as a result of this conflict we know that thousands of soldiers and civilians are also died in the conflict to date so it's a really huge issue on the ground there in mali and citizens have been increasingly taking to the streets being vocal they're also on social media to voice opposition to the fact that france's military is there on the ground now this damning report

by the united nations and france's outweight rejection of it or likely to improve those relations live from paris atlanta charlotte dubin ski reporting for us thank you. your state of arkansas has passed a law giving doctors the right to refuse medical treatment on moral or religious grounds and it's prompted a swift bank blast from l.g. bt activists who claim that it will restrict their. roxas to health care passing the state senate the bill was approved last friday by gov hutchinson advocacy groups say that the new law will discriminate against people over the state governor stressed the right to refuse care does not apply to emergency treatment and the federal laws banning discrimination still apply 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 apply to the delivery of health care services that's one of several bills making their way to the arkansas governor's desk the state senate recently approved a ban on gender affirming treatment including hormone therapy for children who identifies transgender center say the legislation will protect children of the world g.b.t. group say that could lead to an increase in depression and suicide among youngsters we put the issue 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 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 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 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 for ever and 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 staff pretty just a painting in some type of care that we would find morally unacceptable. to come a sleepy suburb north of us coated into a war zone yesterday when unarmed residents took all the police and special forces and then and i was stunned the full details coming up from.

the world is driven by shaped by from person to those with. no dares thinks. we dare to ask. one else seemed wrong quotes just don't call. me lol but you get to shape out these days become educated and in gains from it because of

the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the notion of cancel culture is having an impact on people's psychological wellbeing a majority of people polled in the united states say they fear being fired over reprimanded for what they say online is a chilling finding that most people in the country now are afraid they would be fine if they express their real views on social media and the nearly 2000 people surveyed more than 60 percent view growing council culture as a threat to freedom 54 percent see it is in danger in 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 used to ruin their entire lives over what they think in their mind even though it is hard to. get some time i think it does scare people and it makes people think and maybe. you know. inappropriate. the idea of canceling counseling is bad. is not a good way of. creating difficult conversations because difficult conversations are very important to making difficult topics worse difficult. really change the way that a person interacts with the world or using. to also understand like you know what

they're going to respond to people sorry if you thought it's always more complicated when it's presented. journalist and commentator child with more gave us his thoughts on council culture how it affects people. 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 business it is from private corporations and most importantly from each other so that makes it interesting and different i think from anything else that that we really experience in culture before it's you know and it's such a lot of this has to come with social media mob threats to docs to get people fired and it's not a threat corporate on many levels and most importantly it has a chilling effect on public discourse and on people being able to speak their minds

to openly. discuss an advocate for things that they can for the things that they truly believe in and the criticism that maybe what's going on in culture and government and even cancer culture itself as we've seen just criticizing cantle coulter 'd can do you cancel. a sleepy suburb just to the north of moscow turned into something more closely resembling a war zone to say what started off as a visit by police officers investigating arms trafficking spiraled into a shootout resulting in a fire reportedly the death of the suspect he said to 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 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 previously 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 threw 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 serious. one did in the leg he's been taken to hospital but i'll tell you what the siege all the added after the swat teams used when a longer serves 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 . which led to this massive unexpected scare thank god without many consequences. from this news in brief for you starting in a park in nothing in the u.k. where a large crowd of young people were seen drinking dancing scuffling throwing beer cans and climbing trees they were deemed more pappy is the country east its long restrictions though in their celebrations they blatantly floated the rule that you can only meet with a maximum of 6 people. spectacular images for you of a volcanic eruption in iceland and they've been captured by a drone the volcano in question has been dormant for nearly 6000 years and it's the 1st eruption on the southwest peninsula for 900 years thousands of people have flocked to that site they've been trying to catch a glimpse of the larva despite the prime minister warning them to stay away. and

2 mass shootings and multiple acts of random crime resulting in the loss of innocent lives however what makes the last 2 weeks crime sprees different from other weeks is that for the 1st time almost every demographic is represented not only as victims but also as perpetrators i am scouting out houston on today's news use that we are going to take a special look at what is motivating these crimes and ask whether or not what is being said or more importantly not said is causing us to further divide. thank you for joining us today for a very important conversation which many avoid because sometimes it might make one uncomfortable you know acts of violence have been a plague in the u.s. all in the month of march or to correspondent a toss just wait walks us through these recent horrifying events. from lethal
