they seem savvy in terms of forgiving loans in countries in sub-saharan africa who got into debt in theoviet period, they were not going to be repaid. they received contracts for supplying material so in this way finding new markets around western sanctions while at the same time providing loans to these places or doing business. it is an alternative. to the west where russia is willing to do business so they are not going to come down hard on human rights abuses in the central african republic. what they will do is go in, provide settlement to a civil war and help the market take the money off the top. in terms of russia and china, some juicy stuff developing a new project, so interesting, russia, chinese relations with oil trying to get to other places so it also provides infrastructure product, to help china for oil and gas infrastructure as well as supplying china with military equipment, that comes with servicing and it is hard to do that. as well as cooperating with china in military exercises, not taking a huge role in that. russia developed close ties with india, a legacy of the

now in 1919 in the immediate wake of world war. i macarthur largely because of his success during the war. was appointed the superintendent of the army military academy at west point and he would serve in that capacity from 1919 to 1922. he had many challenges during those years the teaching methods at west point were antiquated. they had not really changed much at all since the civil war. congress also in the wake of world war. i was cutting back appropriations, even though equipment was worn out and obsolete. the curriculum was i think his most important concern. the curriculum that existed prepared the cadets for past rather than future wars. as macarthur said and i quote. how long are we going to on going to go on preparing the war of 1812? in quote a cavalry offers his wife said at the time after world war one the cavalry went right on training to fight the indians. in quote inspired leadership was needed to liberalize the curriculum at west point and bring the tactical instruction up to date. and macarthur provided it. he int

following a rise in cases, we get a rise in hospitalizations. what do we get after hospitalizations? deaths. deaths in the state of michigan also now on the rise. that same pattern as all the other surges. cases up, then hospitalizations up, then deaths up. well, here's something interesting. this week the governor of michigan, gretchen whitmer, asked the white house to help meet the surge in cases in her state with a new surge of vaccines to her state. in places where we have big snurjz cases, raises this interesting question. can we flood those zones with more vaccines than they might otherwise get? i mean, it makes sense, at least in layman's terms, in trying to get around the epidemic on the other side of it. for two reasons, right? the risks of having tons of virus floating around, having tons of copious transformation anywhere in the country, it's the same as the risk we had before vaccines. copious transmission means people are getting sick and people are dying. with vaccines, that may be somewhat mitigated by the fact that older people a

there is all this talk about islamic state in west africa, in the sahara, in east africa and in southa, but when you look at the chain of command, it doesn't make sense. because when you see the way isil has been operating in syria and iraq, it was a different mindset and mechanism. >> that is true, the islamic state really is indigenous to iraq, so to speak, and to a lesser extent in syria, where it achieved marginal success in 2013-2014, establishing control of administration of land. they never really achieved -- they have never really been able to achieve that level of success they had in iraq and syria in any of the distant provinces, libya only briefly for time in 2015 or 2016. but in all these other places like mozambique, the congo, west africa, it is not the same level of success. but i would stress the ideological angle that it clearly does exist. hashem: joseph, with three big energy companies operating there, exxon mobil and t total, do you see the potential for greater intervention from now onwards? >> i think so. but i think it is the isis or isil link that becomes impor

segments are in their own. while some countries of the world have put a hold on their use of the astra zeneca vaccine most latin american countries just seem willing to take whatever they can get and for a region that continues to face the darkest days of the pandemic it may be that suspending the use of the astra zeneca bank scene is a luxury latin americans simply cannot afford. al-jazeera mexico city. australia's government will purchase another 20000000 doses of the pfizer biotech taxing us because it now wants people under the age of 50 to get the fire as a jap instead of the astra zeneca one the government has also highlighted cases of blood clots of people who took the astra zeneca jab but this is likely to further delay the vaccination drive which has already been criticized for inefficiencies. a dispute has broken out between turkey and israeli over an embarrassing moment during a meeting and italy's prime minister has compared the turkish president to a dictator and we are sheltering has a story. this

in our education system, in our health care system, in our housing system, in our economic system and are criminal justice system, in our nation. . -- full stop. host: rafael mangual, the vice president talking about systemic racism. do you think that there is persistent racial bias in police departments in terms of how they treat potential suspects? guest: i do not, i do not, and i think it is he responsible for the vice president to use that kind of rhetoric. here is what we know. we know that violent crime is ultra-concentrated in the united states and demographically concentrated among black men. here in new york, black and latino makes up 95% of all shooting victims going back to at least 2008, every single year since the nypd started to document that. that's one thing we know. we know that policing has significant crime reduction effects there. the trove of studies documenting this go on and on. one of the things i find problematic with rhetoric like this is that it drives the tension away from crime reduction and the effects of policing and the criminal justice system more broa

in the uk. 73 cases have been confirmed in england as well as four cases in scotland.. paul hunter, professor in medicine at the university of east anglia, told us there may be questions about the variant�*s resistance to vaccines. india itself is seeing a pretty dramatic increase in cases at the moment and it has since the beginning of march, and we don't know for certain that this variant is what is driving that but it's certainly possible. the other thing is that this variant has possibly two escape mutations and an escape mutation is a mutation that makes the virus a bit more resistant to immunisation, and it's plausible, but we don't know for certain, that two escape mutations would make the virus even less susceptible to vaccine than currently the south african and brazilian variants are, and this is sort of what we see with human coronaviruses — that even before covid they gradually accumulate new escape mutations and gradually move away from immune control over a number of years, so it is worrying but, as i said, it's still early days yet. the labour leader say
