it is undoubtedly one of the vaccines available to us for this pandemic. an increased risk for certain. germany suspends the astra zeneca vaccine for people under 60 over fears of a rare but potentially fatal blood clots living in limbo those who've already received the 1st. brutally assaulted in the new york subway. filipino woman beaten in the city streets the latest in a string of vicious attacks in the united states against the community you look at what's being done to quell the rising tide of. the un report finds 19 civilians were killed in a french airstrike on a wedding in mali back in january repeated claims by the french military.

that very good morning to you thanks for joining us here are not. germany's vaccination program has suffered yet another blow with a burden again suspending use of the astra zeneca this time for the under sixty's that's left many in that age group who've already had their 1st. 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 angle of 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 keyes's of cerebral venomous trumbo zus 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 is substantial uncertainty about the benefit of providing astra zeneca $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 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 x.e. was fine for use a lot of countries where that prompted a lot of countries to repeal that suspension including germany langley 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 before i feel that they're now really rushing ahead to fost 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's kind of make the whole vaccination process fall into pieces . meanwhile astra zeneca has rebranded its vaccine which will now go under the name

the vaccine every year amid the company's struggle to reassure the public of its safety but a number of experts believe the damage to the jobs reputation has already been done . a rebranding right in the midst of such and such a can paint 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 in the venous system the brain and the dissemination coagulation route the body just terrifying and the scene that you know in younger women so with this. it's very hard to convince 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. efficacy or a they had to change that so a lot of suspicion about this it's terrible because you're right the thing is is that there are 2000000000 doses for 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 american show no sign of letting up police in new york are investigating 2 assaults on asian residents on monday one of the victims was an elderly filipino woman she was brutally beaten while her male assailant yelled racial slurs a warning you may find this video upsetting. 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 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 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

divonne safety inclusion and belonging for all asian american native hawaiian and pacific islander community this 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 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 scale of just mentioned volunteers are giving out whistles to elderly asian americans throughout the u.s.

in san francisco the project has been dealt a blow of some $700.00 whistles meant for distribution was stolen amid the crease violence talking asians in america straight some a looking to less direct ways of countering racism for example a publisher has pulled a children's book over his depictions of emotional ought since to go bust the wong some deemed offensive in the form of passive racial stereotyping we spoke to the store in general tone about joe biden's vote on the issue. he needs to realize that by launching this new cold war against china he simultaneously helping to create fertile 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 ugly bleeds into anti

asian american anti pacific islander america violence. 19 civilians were killed in a french airstrike on a wedding in mali back in january this year as the findings of a new u.n. report into the incident. menas mays able to confirm a bed in celebration at the site of the strike had brought together $100.00 surveillance at least $22.00 people including 3 of the suspected cuttable sermon members present at the gathering were killed by the french strike on the 3rd of january 2021 in bhante this un report centers on a french air strike that took place at the beginning of january it says 900 civilians were killed as well as 3 armed men when the french warplanes struck me a village co-parenting waterless sorrow region now that confirms the claims from villages at the time he said that these planes struck absolute wedding party and those claims back then and also now are still being disputed by the french army

which is said it being her size it strike and it is targeted just harvests now a spokesperson for the military is also described the when reporters being based on fragile testimony and it says it has reservations about methodology that was used by the un it maintains that it was targeting a terrorist group so the fact that france won't accept this report to be the truth has been get some in the country there on the matter of demosthenes it is time for france to stop telling lies because they accuse the 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 malian armed forces especially the mali military authorities begin to tell the truth to move towards reality well not only has been struggling to contain islam ist insurgency since 2012 the french army being on the ground for a number of years now and has more than 5000 soldiers that the former ringback

colonial power in the region hasn't always had an easy life we know that people been increasingly taking to the streets to say how unhappy they are about the french economy be. that and that's because they failed so far to be a book control this insurgency with hundreds of thousands of people having had to flee their homes and thousands of soldiers and civilians already killed in this conflict to date now this damning report by the u.n. insurance is out right which is actually a bit or unlikely to improve its reputation. the us state of arkansas has passed a law giving doctors the right to refuse medical treatment on moral or religious grounds advocacy groups say that the new law will discriminate against l.g.b. to people and restrict their access to health care there's no sugarcoated this this bill is another brazen attempt to make it easier to discriminate against people and

deny arkansans the health care services they need the governor stressed the right to refuse care does not apply to emergency treatment and the federal laws banning discrimination still apply i was just 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 so to say the legislation will protect children for the group so that it could lead to an increase in depression and suicide among youngsters we put the issue of body backed. 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 i 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 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 61 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 staff criticism in some type of care that we would find morally unacceptable. to come this hour a sleepy suburb north of moscow turned into a war zone yesterday as an island resident took on police and special forces in a 10 hour listening to the full story for you after this crash.

all of the information in the world when you put it together and process it simultaneously. 0 it adds up to nothing all delusion of differentiation will be obliterated the illusion of making a profit will be obliterated because we're entering into a period of a singularity. the world is driven by shaped by.

the day or thinks. we dare to ask. him back the notion of council culture is having an impact on people psychological well being the majority of people polled in the united states that they 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 surveyed more than 60 percent of them view growing council culture as a threat to their freedom 54 percent say it is and 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 artists decide to do different things people you next door neighbor that's a different he's a human and agree on i don't follow you to ruin their entire lives over what they think in their mind even though it is harsh and it could really go like a pocket sometimes i think it does scare people and it makes people think and maybe i'm sure you know. inappropriate actions. the idea of canceling canceling 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 karelia change the way that a person interacts with the world or using. to also understand like being fed up

with having delivered on the people so far it's just a lot it's always more complicated and it's presented just a commentator a chance we all gave us his thoughts on council culture and 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 businesses from private corporations and most importantly from each other so that makes it interesting and different i think from from anything else that that we've really experienced in culture before it's you know and it's such a lot of it has become a social media mob being and threats to docs and get people fired and. not greet them on many levels and most importantly it has a chilling effect on public discourse and of 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 critics felt as we've seen just criticizing example culture can get you can feel. sleepy some just to the north of moscow turned into something more closely resembling a war zone on tuesday what started off as a visit my police officers investigating alms trafficking spiraled into a shootout resulting in a fire and the death of the suspect. the house pretty much everything apart from the brick walls has been burnt to ashes and police have right now confirmed that the shooter is now dead apparently the fire was the cause for his death 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 men 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 were in a longer serves as a result of that the house was completely unfired. 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 notice which led to this massive unexpected scare thank god without many consequences. a little news in brief where you're standing in a park and nothing in the u.k. where a large crowd of young people have been seen drinking dancing scuffling throwing beer cans and climbing trees they were the mob happy as the country moves this long

humanity has never seen such strange natural phenomena before giant creators appearing in the yamaha peninsula. one after another. but never doubt about forgotten you could use to get your foot you know whom does love with those of attack you want to hear. this one appeared in 2020. how often and where will new crisis appeal is a discussion of the matter how dangerous oen day for human the slum only it is different though i know that in 2021 russian scientists came quite close to working out what's going on. they built a full scale 3 d. model of the black hole.

seemed wrong but old roles just don't hold. any new world that is yet to shape out disdain become an advocate and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when just to look for common ground. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see a very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids it invaded america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she did go after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer who's to blame patients

doctors manufacturers or the government. i mention are times they were going on the ground for another lockdown edition 24 hours after the report of the highly anticipated world health organization led international investigation into the origins of corona virus was released in part 2 as the george floyd trial continues in the usa the daughter of norm chomsky professor of eva chomsky on her investigation into what links structural racism to joe biden's detention a fan of thousands of children on the us mexico border 1st joining me now from beijing is counselor for the china state council and founder of the center for china and globalization professor wang we'll why welcome back to you are going underground let's just start with the w.h.o.

you know all about the fact that china has been blamed for corona virus what do you think a report that doesn't seem to go one way or the other unlikely it said that it was a lab in china but no definitive proof either way it's we're alike we lost someone to. china as well imagine an extremely unlikely to wire. law i mean that sounds very you know. of science fiction is myers and amanda forms and many variations and there you can remember actually as you know it was used by the trumpet ministration to justify all manner of rhetoric from washington what do you think say what happened in the suez canal in the past few days tells us about the danger of trade wars and the interconnectedness of different countries is this is how one or more of our our transportation are and also the literally

on top the international routes on those strategic channels and. you know the transition is so so important so that as a cause the war on so so i think that west. just imagine if it's in. conflict time of war time that it would be disastrous so i think that means you know we should really cherish the peace and we should really say on peace and we should really more in any jew political conflict and we should really i meant tend to trade posterity and trade the flow as it should be so that we can maintain their. interest in many years of countries all together and a country among international trade and we can really secure a better life for all of us on this planet so you think a world of peace is one where 400 military bases from the united states encircled china and where the war continues arguably in syria on syria there are troops in iraq. obviously the the repercussions of the libya invasion continue that's your

world that peace. well i think that's really not the right way to do it i'm of course we should really come of the piece and i'm glad to see that the new secretary really concerned you know that the aim of us no longer tolerate any government anymore suppose so they go the is all good on that and then we can restore truth from afghanistan so hard that in the situation we will get to a better situation that you don't stand out troops to invade any on the countries or we're not having any governments even the really far more we should really rely on to go assistant the unit u.n. charter that everybody signs in really some of the modern other systems and use our differences rather than we you know are you trying to countries or sent troops to to do that since you mention.
