welcome back as story that's off the great and out of egypt and but it's got a knot of people in the arab world talking it is certainly right folly police have arrested seven people on monday on charges of inciting immorality after they unfurled a rainbow flag at a rock concert last week egypt's artists union says the lebanese alternative rock band whose concert they were attending is now banned from performing in the country . is one of the most popular acts in the arab world and one of the first to gain a major audience in the west following performances like this one over the past few

weeks in egypt and lebanon the band that is about to kick off a u.s. tour in the coming days now doesn't shy away from singing about issues of equality and other topics considered to be taboo their lead singer is openly gay and during the concert in cairo several fans were snapped raising the rainbow flag photos quickly spread online triggering a heated conversation about homosexuality in egypt and arrests that the police make for quotes in decent behavior now much of that debate has taken place on the group's facebook page but as mona eltahawy pointed out to her followers egypt doesn't actually have laws which criminalize same sex relations like many countries do in the middle east it instead uses umbrella terms such as debauchery and indecency now the deputy head of the official musician's union phoned into this program to say quote we are against gay arts it is deprived art now his organization actually has some judicial powers here to arrest people and to issue

fines for people who work in the performing arts so it's his organization that has banned from performing in egypt now the arrests and the ban have set off a controversy online arbor has lived in egypt most of his life and is now studying in vienna he has a popular post about this controversy an earlier he told me about the challenge facing society. in egypt it is absolutely unacceptable to support homosexual rights whatsoever and i understand that because it comes it is outside of the norm of the egyptian culture and of the egyptian society however when the norm is based and built around discrimination and hatred when the norm is actually death threats being passed by on the streets casually and on social networks and being greeted with hundreds and thousands of likes when it's when the norm is these death threats being greeted with chairs and these death threats being

seen as what should be done and what should be followed then we have to question if we are actually doing something wrong now the band received death threats a few months ago after some politicians objected to their lyrics and opinions in another country that was banned from jordan in june for a second time actually despite the fact that the ministry of tourism was sponsoring one of their shows this is how they responded at the time. which it no doubt is more the on machine input was with them i know and can it come out that if a deal with. them i didn't even go into show to stay. it was yet i b m a e n n n you know i don't you hate them all of the from a few minutes of but in no he did mostly on that night and i didn't know that i didn't know him as a kid if i did something i did numbers yet in a few. minutes to fit riband criticized jordan's government and media saying it was

supporting fanatical conservatism which has contributed to making the region increasingly toxic over the last decade and now we're curious to hear what you think about the story you can share your views using the has tag it in usenet. andrew thank you very much we're going to end with a story from colombia which has spent years trying to shake its reputation as a world's cocaine producing capital with help from the us the government has been trying to stop farmers growing the plant that the drug comes from coca and switch to other crops like coffee but colombia is reducing local cane than ever before and that's getting washington very upset and it's on the run kitty has our report. this area in southern colombia used to be covered with coca plants but most are gone thanks to a program trying to persuade where we farmers to switch crops this part of the country's peace effort by families signing up to receive subsidies of eight

thousand u.s. dollars in the first year switching to alternatives such as coke or coffee they also receive help with infrastructure government officials former rebels and farmers strike the deals. if none are reached then the army may come in to uproot the plants by hand. daniel regular says most farmers remain suspicious of the government's ability to deliver but are cautiously optimistic. one of them that they were going up with this is a very good opportunity the government is offering we have never seen anything like it before it's just starting now but the community is happy because we've been receiving payments so we hope the rest of the deal. but last year so i record spiking cocaine production that's angered the u.s. government which is accusing colombe of dropping the ball on fighting drugs the colombian government sees things differently from the same third of all coca fields

by the end of the year there michael from the old methods only contain the problem this going to achieve sustainable reductions but it will require patience we can't bring it down to zero that's impossible but we can make it a marginal phenomenon in poland. this is one of the fields has been ridden of coca plants in the last couple of months you can see here on the ground what's left of some of those plants but colombia knows it's more in its quick success is to build trust among the farmers and american fears. but in most of the new the problem we always had here is that the subsidies a lot more do the trick the government needs to create the conditions for legal markets to flourish roads electricity aqua docks well we've seen a power projects never materialize arrived too late so unless this infrastructure arrives farmers will go back to coca. colombia seems determined to get rid of the

plant farm by farm finally gaining the trust of communities long neglected by the state but many also understand that as long as there will be customers for cocaine somebody will find a way to satisfy the demand allison that i'm fifty i'll just leave. and one more thing before we go we have something nice to show you out of the us it can be a risky business being a spectator at a ballgame as he said louis cardinals fan found out when he lost his freshly made nachos and chicago chicago cubs ball player addison russell looked a bit cheesed off as he walked away largely unscathed following the collision but moments later infielder return from the concession stand to make things right and it was not till day at the stadium. never knew there was a nacho day learn something new every day i guess and that would do it for today's news great remember to keep in touch with us on social media hash tag as ever a.j.

go hungry as a result of the punitive measures to accuse considering. shouldn't it is up to them little missouri as we begin to impose sanctions iraq's kurds will be left behind when we close the oil tap they'll be done with they will lose all their revenues when you stop cross border traffic into northern iraq they won't have food or clothes this will be a bad situation they'll ask why are we doing this we are obliged to these are sanctions and how and from where will israel send its assistance to them. in abilene northern iraq what would make people saying to you about this kind of threat and the bill minutes you build up as a result of this so referendum. well certainly the people on the street that we've been speaking to paying very little attention to these kind of threats i mean there as we saw last night. after polls close these incredible celebrations on the streets of bill never really we've been speaking to saying that no matter these

kind of threats they are very happy with the way the k r g kurdish regional government have handled themselves they say that it is time now that more pressure is put on the baghdad government to try and initiate negotiations towards an eventual independence for this region and of course it's very important to remember that this is a non-binding agreement it's indicative of what i'm listening is president barzani attempts to put more pressure on the baghdad government to initiate this process. the people on the streets and the government here say that they've had enough they say that the baghdad government have consistently let them down over the years they feel as if they have not been treated with the kind of respect that they deserve. after battling isola peshmerga kurdish peshmerga forces so instrumental so important in that fight with the coalition in pushing eisel back they feel let down

of course it was only two three years ago when i saw forces were literally ten fifteen kilometers from the. very city so no matter what seems to be this increase in rhetoric these are incredible threats that are coming not only from the baghdad government from all the regional players certainly the people here on the ground in era bill and the kurdish regional government pushing forward. remain determined and seen thus far relatively on faced by by these threats. we told you this one now why this just drop.
