cue can mistake this was this was this was a point this was absurd to go to a pistol have in your hands you had she obviously had tunnel vision on the suspects how you can mistaken mistakenly grab your pistol instead of your taser after you have had training that makes no sense to me whatsoever you use your hands usually at that taser has been proven over and over and over again to be not a complete tool ality is going to wind up helping the scene out and it is just done this is put more cops under the false a false security that a tool is going to replace words and physicality and this is a problem. in telling restaurant and as a demanding an exit from the covert look down saying they can no longer afford to stay closed clashes broke out half an hour north arise protesting right.

help is coming i don't know how to make ends meet each month the expenses are fixed each month there are more expenses than the benefits we're desperate. to get we are in the square because we have the right to demonstrate this is a dictatorship maybe it's fine for brussels me but not for us but we are working here criminal established about it with. the italian region of sicily locals are showing a high level of distrust in the axed astra zeneca vaccine according to the region's president 80 percent of the city's refused to get inoculated with a job out of fears over its safety public confidence in the anglo swedish jabbers been badly shaken by reports linking it to rare but potentially fatal blood clots by conflicting recommendations on it he went to the island streets to get people's opinion. i turned down the astra zeneca vaccine because i don't think it's safe there have been several suspicious cases in sicily and for that reason i preferred

not to risk my health. from what i've heard so far i do not trust it i heard about the thrombosis cases but the percentage is minimal but given a choice i would feel more protected with a vaccine with fewer side effects the result was the possibility of an error of the virus is more dangerous than the vaccination i would prefer to get vaccinated only you know that there have been many deaths we don't know this is related to the vaccine or not we are all free at the moment i don't want to take the astra zeneca shot out probably wait for the. growing distrust in western jobs among europeans is that to arise in vaccine tourism with the blocks medicines agency holding back on approving russia sputnik the some people are flying out to moscow to get. micha do flow is a lawyer from leon and he has his own opinion about the vaccine situation. there are currently enough vaccines in france and not everyone can get vaccinated where

they want to without waiting we 1st of all i don't trust the vaccines offered to us whether it's the american vaccine all britons ask for seneca they don't fill me with confidence so why i chose the russian sport like the jab which i think is much safer and more effective. the russian vaccine has not yet been approved by the european medicines agency so it's not in france and that's something to flow is not too happy about stores or good could be and i regret that my country france is denying its citizens access to the sputnik vaccine for reasons unrelated to health or medicine so if support like doesn't fly to me i'll fly to get it. while on a business trip to moscow to flow decided to get inoculated against corona virus he didn't seem nervous before getting his long awaited job. no i'm not concerned i might have been more worried if it was a different vaccine i won't name it but in france it's being heavily criticized now

in this case i might have been more afraid however maître do flow things it's still a long way to travel for an injection but all men can force in spite the fact that there is a vaccine shortage in france they have to decide who should get vaccinated 1st which also shows that we don't have enough doses even though there is a vaccine available it's their choice and i think that this is a criminal choice because it despite its technology and experience france has not developed its own vaccine never really i really regret that we're in this situation i think it's because france no longer has the scientific potential to develop such things we are the country of the scientists how may and you're on to really change the health situation in the world for the better and today we're lagging behind. france is the only member of the un security council but has not developed its own vaccine mortal to do flu will get a 2nd sputnik 3 job in 3 weeks during his next trip then he can go home with one

less thing to worry about. still filming german based banks the manufacturer says u.s. export restrictions are putting back some production risk story in. the 1st washington a secured agreement with mexico honduras and guatemala to boost its troop presence at the border so in a bid to slow migration to america the move comes amid reports that by demonstration is also considering handing cash to central americans to stop the flow critics though say the president's migrant policy is already becoming too costly the scale of morbid explains. with 170000 people picked up along the u.s. border just last month the migrant crisis is rapidly spinning out of control and the biden administration is scrambling to deal with it and the current plan dollars and lots of them in the form of foreign aid president biden wants to try and buy a way out of his border crisis with taxpayer money the administration is spending

$60000000.00 a week and now wants to launch a cash transfer program in central america this insults millions of americans who are out of work in our country the plan is for billions of dollars to go to guatemala honduras and el salvador now it's not exactly clear how this is going to work but the white house insists it won't be just direct cash payments to potential migrants let's not forget that back in 2009 the usa worked to topple the government of honduras ushering in a decade of instability and chaos let's also remember that wot amala has had various u.s. backed military regimes so what exactly led to this stampede toward the u.s. border the trail goes straight back to the white house the united states says moral leadership on refugee issues was a poor in a bipartisan consensus for so many decades when i 1st got here we shine a light into lamp them of liberty an oppressed people were offered safe havens for those fleeing violence or persecution and our example pushed other nations to open

wide their doors as well it's not exactly clear what the end goal is and there is not really a record of success here foreign aid to us aligned regimes in central america that have free market economies is certainly not a new concept in fact the u.s. state department has been showering the region with money for decades 750000000 dollars was provided to central american countries between 20142017 now the stated goals of all that foreign aid was roughly the same as what biden is proposing and people. remained poor desperate and they continued fleeing 2019 donald trump took the dramatic move of halting u.s. aid so can we continue to just throw money at a problem and expect it to eventually be solved by more soon be celebrating his 100th day in office and he's got a major crisis on his hands with no end in sight up and artsy new york.

students that whole university in the u.k. will not be marked down for making spelling mistakes because that could be treated as elitist the uni has decided lecturers have been advised to drop requirements for good english and some subjects to ensure people from different backgrounds are vehicle opportunities in a similar bit of the university of the arts london has ruled lecturers should not impose correct english on students or that was to university lecturers have been told to judge students on their knowledge of the subject of grammar is not vital to the assessment criteria people on twitter were quick to give low marks to the university's new language grading policies.

english the english language is a living language so of course one's going to recognise there's going to be new words new terms which we should in a multi-cultural society embrace but the basics of english have to still be there the basics of grammar have to be taught the major problem is that we're sending too many people to university who haven't got the basics the basics need to be taught at junior school and at secondary school that's where we're going wrong we've moved from teaching the basics i mean for goodness sake those even suggestions that people should be able to answer exam questions at g.c.e. g.c.s.e. level with text speech no they shouldn't that doesn't mean you can't use dialect that doesn't mean you can't use some of the language of the street but within the

whole structure it has to be english recognised we should not lower the standards of the modern majority to help the minority but we should put in place for that minority you know we need to have extra classes or whatever our own and standing but in the end you have to be able to read and write the queen's english surely. french lawmakers back a ban on short domestic flights to reduce carbon emissions infuriating our alliance which already suffering because of the pandemic that story unfold after this break . that's geysers financial i think. it is if this is a central plank support dying a bum is going to call them right now so stop. is

getting even worse with the sound of blockade preventing vital supplies from entering yemeni ports. looting to the united nations 2000000 children under the age of 5 will suffer acute malnutrition in yemen this year the blockade continues that could result in 400000 deaths we heard from one of the leading activist 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 in 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 worst humanitarian crisis in the world you know these are people that struggle to find water and and struggle to be able to afford food in 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 we 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

emissions equally we must support our companies and not let them fall by the wayside. earlier we spoke with aviation consultant survey a title meant he thinks that any effort to cut domestic flights would harm travelers especially those living far from big cities we feel we. are doing is weak and they're not human nature to feel whole we'll be well. behaved on the leash and so there are the big airlines like us all that we suffer because they will lose hundreds of thousands of passengers and for example lots of people in the south of france on bought new york for example they don't go to paris they just make it also won't vote it's just a chance they just used areas that ended with new york they're going to go somewhere else of course if we are not able to provide those short all flights we won't have all the long holes like it doesn't have a lot of it political benefit and it's more much more expensive train is much more
