tempers flare in italy. the right to reopen. its reached an agreement with russia. thanks. also ahead on the program. in california. protesters number of arrests.

and the. gender reassignment treatment for a. changing. young man. every year catching the program from 10 a. national could help you with this. italian restaurant owners are demanding an exit from the lock down saying they can no longer afford to stay closed. to. protest in rome.

clashes all sore after the last week in the capital with one police officer injured italy has ease restrictions in most regions after an easter law but restaurants will remain closed at least until the end of april or early take it or delivery services are noted. in the neighboring austria tough restrictions there are extended there are amid soaring cases a less severe vaccine shortage but chancellor sebastian current sees that program will not be getting a turbo boost from a deal with russia to buy a 1000000 doses of the sputnik be shot on last week he urged the european regulator

to act faster on approving the charge. people have to queue up to ask for splitting a b. it's a question of how long this approval process will last and for what reasons it's being protected i get a feeling that some are acting geopolitically here and i believe that when it comes to vaccination and public health care it shouldn't center around geo political questions but rather if a vaccine is effective and safe it should be used i personally share the opinion of the president of the doctors chamber that the more vaccines we have the higher the chance to save lives and jobs in austria and get this pandemic over and done with. and indeed the president of the austrian doctor's chamber who chancellor kurtz just mentioned told us why he thinks austria needs the sputnik. i think all over europe. the companies are suffering and they would need more brick seen. more rapidly we need to do this in order to overcome the pandemic situation as soon

as post. the main problem is the europe didn't order enough in time we would need more work seen now in or the to vaccinate the population in the short period of time and that's not possible therefore we are very thankful and grateful to russia that we are able to buy your vaccine and i hope that it will boost the vixen issue. if that's the situation in austria another new poll in the czech republic has revealed almost half of those quiz say they would be happy to receive the sputnik vico vaccine if it's approved by local regulators it comes amid growing interest in the use of the russian job among european nations here's our europe correspondent peter or. well the czech republic could be sent to follow hungry and start using russia's sputnik the vaccine before

it gets approval from the european medicines agency the czech president the man made the announcement he was also critical of the slow pace at which the e.m.e.a. approval for the sputnik v. vaccine has taken if the decision on sputnik the registration is made by our national regulator it will be enough to start using it as happened in hungary as for the european medicines agency it is very slow well new infections in the czech republic have started to relent in recent days that's following the country being gripped by a 3rd wave of the covert 19 pandemic now a recent poll showed that just under half of the czech citizens who were asked the question said that they would take the sputnik the vaccine without a.m.a. approval as long as health authorities from prague had given a green light michel the e.u. council president has also been speaking he acknowledged that there is differences

between member states when it comes to the use of russia's sputnik the vaccine there's a lot of pressure and politicians people are getting impatient they want to get vaccinated governments want to do all they can also control this insensitivity regarding sputnik the among you member states at the back end of last weekend spawn the german health minister said that germany would be looking to secure its own deal for sputnik v. once the european medicines agency has given it the green light germany could have to set up its own deal of course because the e.u. commission joint procurement mechanism has already said they're not going to buy sputnik v. as it stands at the moment there's also been some comment from france when it comes to that announcement from germany last week the french foreign minister saying he thought that was a bit of a p.r. stunt designed to. give confidence to the local markets here in germany of course we have an election coming up in september he thought that was

a bit of politicking from yen's spawn but he also said that he wouldn't rule out taking any vaccine based on where it came from said if it's a good vaccine it's a good vaccine but when it comes to the all important a.m.a. approval well sputnik the started being looked at by the european medicines agency on the 5th of march we're expecting that process to run through perhaps as long as the end of may once it gets the green light of course it can then be used all across the european union. let's move the program on violent race riots have a rapid in the u.s. city of brooklyn center in minnesota following the fatal shooting of a black man involving police. the man was shot in a car when he attempted to flee after being pulled over for a traffic violation and the brooklyn center police chief said don't take

a right as a result of an accidental discharge by an officer he mistook her for a taser a deadly incident provoked crowds to flock to the local police department there was looting in the area as well as the national guard's. broken centrist 10 miles from minneapolis where last year the death of a black man during a police arrest led to nationwide protests this race related arrest in california to. god. and the city of huntington beach a white lives muster rally had been organized. by a larger group of pleasure so tester from the block. the confrontation descended into violent clashes resulting in brutal fist fights. was this i want to let you go

i hope. it was a heavy police presence as well in huntington beach with several arrests made among both rival groupings the counter protesters later claimed it was a victory for blood let's hear some reactions heard on the day among those wrong. like what manner of people here. you know what life matters. we all want to be treated equal that's what's going to rule the k.k.k. never end. they may not wear the sheets in the costumes they used to but they were going to. and they also are still. in creating racism and trying to harm people of color. editorial director of the reactionary times sites who knew rivera believes the rallies were used as a pretext for the b.l.m. movement to push its agenda this is a some kind of

a false flag because in seattle there was supposed to be a one of these rallies that never really materialized and what didn't materialize was a large amount of counter protests i think this is something that's being set up probably by the radical marxist that are behind black lives matter to just give them an excuse to go back out into the streets and cause problems this in this black lives matter movement just to speak on it broadly has never been about equality it's always been about black superiority we saw that last year and some of the videos there probably are a group of white people that all are frustrated at this point with the way that the media has been portraying race relations in america some of them may be extremist writes the crime assistant but some of them you know you can't argue with a white person being frustrated with the racial narratives in america that isn't racist at all maybe somebody who believes that black lives matter and white lives

matter and all lives matter. let's say keep attention in the u.s. know where the state of arkansas husband gender reassignment treatment for people under the age of 18 critics of the trends are turn this wall taher who reversed his sex change they say it will protect young people from making a dangerous mistake. i reach about 300000000 people a year and help people every day who also have regret or have a story just like mine and want to do a transition so i've worked with a lot of young people who were diagnosed by a so-called doctor telling him that they had gender dysphoria have gone and met with the children and been around with them and none of them that i've come across had gender dysphoria there was a fox diagnosis one recent young man who started on hormone therapy at

15 had is told surgery at 18 contacted me at 19 and said he feels like a prank unstained monster in the arm that it's done is that it causes. many things real problems for bone structure oftentimes in a natural development of the brain is interrupted what we know from sweden is that after you go through these procedures share 19 times more likely to die from suicide and you would if you didn't go through the surgery so what they're doing is really horrible the arkansas governor how to tend to to veto the bill but also immediately overruled by the state congress eisa hutchinson who is a republican and argue that such measures are quote not the role of government but do you have my veto will could my republican colleagues across the country to resist the temptation to put the states in the middle of every decision made by

parents and health care professionals while the are consoled bill by the doctors from providing purity block gender surgery as well for children walter here again think such procedures are highly dangerous are being promoted by big pharma lobby groups and politicians. the truth is it does a great deal of harm to put children on or mon blockers or give them hormone therapy before they're 19 years old and it really should be 21 years old before they tend to put. any hormones in a young person's body you know big pharma has a great interest in selling hormone therapy to people that don't need it the people who make the hormone blockers the advocates you know whether it's facebook or he said there are big platforms raise money for these advocate groups and

i think it's horrible what they're doing and it's really political it's not a medical thing now it's become totally political because what they're doing is not providing medical care at all they're raising money for these activists to perform unnecessary surgeries and harm kids. it is 6 decades since russian cosmonaut yuri gagarin achieved what many thought was impossible by becoming the 1st month in space after a quick break our correspondent will get a taste of 0 gravity here on earth. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by the interest of those with.

sinks. to ask. so it seems wrong. but i. just don't. get to see. this day become active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

16 minutes into the program welcome back a group of activists in the us are entering their 3rd week of a hunger strike over the saudi blockade of yemen the american based yemeni liberation movement is urging the biden administration to make good on its promise to end support for the saudi campaign yemen is now in the grip of a full blown famine a 6 year military by saudi arabia those operations are aimed at propping up yemen's pro saudi government against shia fighters which riyadh claims are terrorists the war has directly or indirectly claimed almost a quarter of a 1000000 lives according to the united nations when the crisis appears to be getting even worse with the saudi blockade preventing vital supplies from entering yemeni ports.

according to the united nations 2000000 children under the age of follow eve will suffer acute malnutrition in yemen this year if the blockade continues that could result in 400000 it we heard from one of the leading activists involved in the hunger strike she thinks a global response is needed to end the war we're not talking about just the united states who is involved although they are a vital supporter and

a key supporter in this and this role i mean you know you have to involve the united nations france spain and so many other countries who are also involved in in supplying arms to the saudi coalition but absolutely you know there should be a huge uproar i mean we are literally day by day watching the worse humanitarian crisis in the world you know these are people that struggle to find water and and struggle to be able to afford food and just imagine that this is a constant daily life and why are we not hearing from these world leaders why are we not hearing from from the from other nations who should be extremely outraged that this could be this could happen to any other country and we should all equally be as enraged and absolutely that the world needs to talk more about what's going on yeah man. 60 years ago today russian cosmonaut yuri gagarin became the 1st person in the history of our planet to leave earth's

atmosphere the flight brought him instant fame and today his name his smile and his words are still proving an inspiration. i didn't. do it. of course that. you couldn't be there if you. ever heard about. with extraordinary ascent to the stars yuri gagarin propelled humanity into the vast all known but also a future of the sky all with the most human of phrases. or let's go an expression of excitement will that still captures a nation's today 6 decades old by your college.

or down by yes. by. by and let's go by yesterday. hi heidi. by the. fire. but i really. thank you. when you find that you. so long on from yuri gagarin's flight b idea of space travel well it still fascinates so many doesn't it but it has its

downsides microgravity the international space station can cause dizziness headaches and of their own pleasant symptoms scientists have worked hard on minimizing such side effects by simulating missions done here on earth they also use special ops to create the feel of weightlessness constantine rushkoff took the plunge. thank. you. i really can't believe that this is what caused the nuts deal one day you know float around a space station it's. it's amazing you know i was told that those who take part in the study they actually have to spend here inside this tub from 7

to 21 days and yes that means even eating and you're e-mailing. dry immersion in there of a neutral water snow can be fun in the beginning and i had fun that's for sure but the pleasure is they say words are pretty quick you know there's not so much to entertain yourself with on top of that the longer you expose your body to microgravity the more negative effects kick in. in space microgravity can have a serious impact on your body causing muscles to atrophy bones to lose calcium even your internal organs and eyeballs can change shape as far as and no vision also deteriorates if you stay in space for a long time. the experiment takes

place at an institute in moscow known for long term simulations of trips to space one of its trademark features as this type compartment facility that is used to play out would be missions to moon and mars and see how crewmembers are going to act together in isolation and confinement so let me actually give you a quick tour inside. so this 1st area is a refrigerator facility and those are the actual fridges huge ones. those are used mainly for food because you have to realize that while in space no one's cooks you have to take food with you and. because of that it needs to be frozen so here we have a storage facility here it's

a greenhouse this is where they have plants this room over here it's obviously a gym. well this appears to be a kitchen i guess because of the microwave and by the way look at the c.c.t.v. cameras their average where all over so let's move on ok so this is were cars minotaur those who take part in experiments they live. so this is yeah this is the light control. well yeah it's not to it's not to be through a cramped space here. yeah this is what you get when you are on a very important space assignment in the what if they're in an enclosed space where they can't talk to the family the deprived of communications and isolated from the outside world they don't receive news and have no idea what's going on they can't

go outside for a walk they don't know if it's day or night and the biorhythms get thrown out of sync by staying in this environment or this has a negative effect on the psychological well being you know after decades of space exploration there is still a lot of the unknown and the more you research it on the ground the safer it's going to be out there in space. back down here on earth earth travel has already been dealt a crippling blow by the pandemic but no it's drawn into even more turbulence and fronts lawmakers have bucked a climate activism on domestic flights between destinations that can be reached by train in less than 2 and a half hours the move comes as part of a major climate bill which aims for a 40 percent cut in carbon emissions by 2030 from the level seen in the 1900 our climate activists say the move against domestic flights it isn't strict enough they wanted the bond to cover journeys of up to 4 hours by train well it is

a little surprise the new legislation isn't backed by the aviation sector which has already been insuring devastating seas for the most international flights are severely restricted jew to the french government had to be a lot of friends last year with 4000000000 euro of support the country's industry minister sees meanwhile they need to find the right bell. we know that aviation is a contributor to carbon dioxide and because of climate change we must reduce emissions equally we must support our companies and not let them fall by the wayside. well i spoke with aviation consultant via title and he thinks any effort to cut domestic flights is going to harm travelers especially those living far from the big cities we feel weak. doris' weak and the not human nature to feel how heavy it will be what a burden on the ocean so there are the big items like ethanol that we suffer

because it will lose hundreds of thousands of passengers and for example lots of people in the south of france on boat do you want for example they don't go to paris they just make good homes for it's just a chance they just use. and they work with new york they go to most they go somewhere else of course if we are not able to provide those short all flights we won't have a whole lot old slides it doesn't have a lot of it political benefits and it's more much more expensive train is much more expensive than plane now adays you got to have hundreds of people who to use those train is fully booked so if you don't have a plane you can't just drop it it's just it's not possible it will be keeping a close eye on that one but that is where we leave the news update for us some great programs though they're just about to kick off right after a look at what else is on offer a few this week season. but

you should look into. this you do. you have to show the 1st one you look up and you must produce conspire with a group of hundreds. as you'll see this would do him good except. if it was national guard. patrol a couple of. the put it in. the area. it's almost was supposed to perform some. will support a school board of these critics one of the biggest musical yet the new police because between. the shooting and all my previous smear. all of this is new to.

the post someone known to be running it because it does a spell if you wait a few. years financial survival guide i don't buy it i prize on a futures. almost 5. i still have some of my ex from the future so krakow watch guys. to date industry prefers to spend millions of euros in you know being the daily conditions i will be sniffy is all about making money making profits in some of the big corporations international markets import export do you imagine the number of currently diseases that are in every community today it is new due to new viruses a whole new microbes that is not true so it is due to environment. i still see the

look and say you know that moment all discipline the mayor of this sort of muscles are really just accumulate could only come in to see in them to beside me list that i love us to pledge to see the sky if the so food industry is successful it will create more jobs it will create more value added it will create more growth so i don't see why we shouldn't also fight for the interest something into st god said that we are british and we want tribulation i was an industry and if we don't behave zinnias finnell too must find.
