government will meet on friday to try to resolve their differences over brics it's at the heart of their disagreements is how to avoid a new hot border between northern ireland and the republic lawyers have told al-jazeera that the british government could face a massive legal action from people on either side of the border claiming that bracks it violates their human rights lauren slay reports from the border. on the irish border it is currently impossible to tell where one country ends and another begins as the tarmac changes course this is the serious drive around here and you can see why people worry about a return to the past the british government's plan to surance the ok off the bricks it may nothing to declan was when there was a hard border you couldn't drive these roads at all most of these border roads were actually created or closed off its makes better spikes that people couldn't get

freedoms of movement that they already have and that's apparent contradiction is now the subject of close examination by human rights lawyers it's a legal morass it's it it risks being a legal swarm generation lots of different legal actions it's very very uncertain as to how it plays out no one knows whether people have a claim or they may have lots of claims no claims but the real the the i mean what is obvious is that it's going to result in a deeply flawed certainty as of now the u.k. side has been unable to come up with a solution to the issue that convinces anyone with human rights lore against them on top of everything else they are in very the also largely al-jazeera on the irish border. let's get your reminder of the top stories now and al-jazeera there are reports that russia has resumed as strikes in southern syria after talks broke down between syrian rebels and russian officers hundreds of thousands of civilians have been

a woman and a man are in hospital in a critical condition those are the headlines don't go away next up it's a story. i mean ok on your in the screen today comedian cost house and out to his hollywood. and i'm really happy lad we're taking your questions live far away on twitter and you tube and for those of you who don't know harvey his new netflix special warrior relatives was women's globally this week and it he reflects on everything from

indians love affair with mangoes to the trump presidency here's a quote. i don't think white people are used to being called white people use the phrase a lot you know the rest of us have to be explained in some way right but white people get to be fancy things like people and human. so when they're called white people there's some white people who just aren't used to. see that the shows will see like white people with their arms folded like you see white you talk about me you see white people you must be talking about me if you think i'm talking about you then yes. you would you know. what i love most about the joke now is that when i look into the audience you always see this. just two man race is stretching. and how hard it kind of follow trying to us here on sat welcome to the stream what i think back to the story of harry good to have you so as we solve their social

justice racial justice plays a key theme in your netflix special and that's one of the things that apparently really resonates with our online community who are also fans of us. i want to pull up a tweet here this is he says the racism bit peppered throughout the show was very well done not preachy but making the right points about racism and being racist now there's one particular joke that someone picked up on he actually sent us a video comment because it resonated with him so much this is drew. a student at harvard university and this is what he said about watching you're not special to listen. very i really enjoyed your relatives one of my favorite parts was when you used firefighters comment to give a social commentary about police brutality and justice and i realize that we use a lot of of your jokes to kind of make social commentary like for instance. the organ donation one. and i was wondering how you can approach that and how you write

your jokes to have a meaningful impact so this could be you giving away secrets how do you approach your see in the library he's talking various. in the jokes about loving firefighters i think most of hating but i think the key thing is. just like any other person you have interesting conversations throughout the day you have tons of thoughts like you're a human being you think about things the difference between i think an artist everyone else's everyone else moves on with their lives you go on you have lunch things happen then that with artists you get obsessed with that thought you get obsessed with that idea you have to write it down you have to think about it over and over and over again and you think about you know reconstructing and recontextualize and whatever that idea was to strangers most people don't think about now i had a lovely conversation with you i can't wait to say the things i said to you with someone else and that's what we do it's a very bizarre thing so i think part of it is as simple as keeping track of the

things you think about and being really vigilant about that so i think that's that's one part and the other part is knowing who you are you know that that i set out to make comedy that involved social justice issues i'm not going to be i want to be a social justice comic and i want to be an activist and i want to use comedy it's not that at all this is who i am i actually care about these things and i think when you can share what you care about with a broad audience and be able to make them understand it and hopefully laugh at it that's what i think when you're successful you have to be you on stage so the. this is me this isn't a special political lens i put on this is actually me sharing my believes in my dears and. using humor to cope with things i'm frustrated about and as a student do you actually had to study for a b.a. in comparative politics you have a m.a. human rights from the london school of economics lot of money was wasted before i

got here so you have a very impressive degree is how did you get from that ad with a monster is to do stand up. did my mom send that question that. highly qualified you are very slight but that's one of the criticisms of if your comedy is you're too small which is i don't think i'm too smart in america. really affairs if we think that but i mean. you know i've always done comedy comedy when i was sixteen seventeen eighteen years old and i plan to do it for the rest of my life that that doesn't mean i was going to do it professionally i don't think if your passion about something you have to make money doing it necessarily nor do i think it was possible back then there were no south asians on american television there was no south asians of comedy careers why would they even think that so i did it i enjoyed doing it i was an immigrant rights organizer out of college in seattle i worked with people in detention who were in the middle of deportation proceedings

people whose family members were you know were dealing with that i mean it was intense hate crimes victims and i did comedy at night and i did it because i love doing it i did it just because it was a wonderful thing to do and it was a great scene in seattle of the time and it took off you know i stumbled into a career in comedy and when i had these opportunities when i got on television when i became when i got a manager and i got attention you know it took me a long time to decide to actually pursue it because it felt like it could just go away it wasn't available to us but it felt like the door was open and if i was in a make an attempt to do it than i. i would regret it later and i'm glad you know i'm glad i stepped through that door so you mentioned your mom earlier joking about her. joke this is stacy who picks up on that theme that the theme of family that often makes its way into your comedy stacey says i like his jokes about his parents cultural expectations and his mom's text message his airport security jokes and his material about race and white people he pointed out true societal elements with

a sharp wit but he wasn't and of course for all of our audience members who art quite sure about these jokes that steady men stacey mentions you can you can check it out in that it's available one hundred eighty countries but she talks about your mom is that an intentional thing or is it just that you find her funny so she comes up in your comedy but others funny but it's just me i think objectively people who meet her i think her charm charm by her she's very quick. i think so much of not only like being witty comes from her but also taking frustrating hard situations and being able to turn that into something positive how do you recycle pain and turn into something that can bring joy to yourself and other people and i think my mom said to do that and some ways to survive that's what a lot of us have to do to survive when you're dealing with different kinds of pain you know what if i paid a little clip of you talking about your mom yes absolutely let's have a look you know when you're like an adult child and you like try to push your limits with your parents it's like you're basically acting like

a jerk and you know you can get away with really going to you know i mean so i started doing that with my mom i'm at home i'm like hey i'm hungry immigrant feed me immigrant my mom walks over to me looks beat dead in the eye and she says don't have children only stupid people have children i think you may actually write down word for word. now when i do it or when i tweet something she says she's like stop writing down everything that i'm saying your material but she sees. you know because she's she's really funny she's really thoughtful and i think people have all these preconceived notions about immigrants as we all do immigrant women if your accent in particular like you have whatever depictions you have and like my mom is a complex person who's lived in america longer than she's lived in india at this point she's a u.s. citizen she's struggled she's raised kids here her experiences aren't just pain

she's also funny they are just struggle it's how you deal with that struggle and so you know she's grown in thirty five plus years and it's really funny to see her kind of look back at all of it. another family member who pops up in your comedy your brother on your facebook page i found a couple of pictures of you and your prada i just want to. and i won't disagree easier that's essentially. going forward mean like. what's your relationship like how were you with little kids and how you now because you work your butt here and so what is regarded right now you know we have the kind of all of this podcast i feel like the dynamics of the podcast are still very similar to pictures of this. i mean it's still very much older brother younger brother you know the older brother and he's younger brother and he's definitely a lot more thing curious he needs to learn things from self cautious and i'm constantly much more anxious and worried and that hasn't changed the same way we

were in that regard when we were six on a bigger level with the same way i mean what's nice is that you know we grew up together we were inseparable but as adults we've gone in different directions we've done different things i love about the pod cast as you see two brothers who have similar roots and certain core values but you see how they're different and you see how they can argue and discuss and talk about things big and small and it's so relatable just because we're family more than anything else it's about the podcast about the connection of two family members and the different journeys they've been on the fact they're back in the same place let's have a look at the proper is just. suntans. you know this is hard because i think it's hard for either of us to relate to that . it just feels overrated and maybe that's just because we've never had to try for it. so what's the big deal if anything i find it incredibly insulting right like it's so hard to be

a person of color name is one of the darker you get you're telling me you just do it for fun. and when you do it it's value yes i'm doing it right now during. the it's like a your skill it's great no once in there if it's a way for the jews the beach you know you globe. you know offering it you know material i was letting him get his reaction i mean i think most of the show honestly it's him like i thing my job is to create some foundation for the show and his job is to go as far away from what i planned as possible and just be free and my job is to make it feel like a show and make the audience think that we're actually in control when we have no idea what's about that but but you know he's think has such an incredible mind and it's really nice to have this pod cast out of people discover a brilliant i know my brother is for a long time ago you were working on a show court totally biased and you did a little sketch which was about

a simpson car to quote heard of fast forward to a documentary that came out in november when you were telling a story about who in your childhood i'm just going to say a little picture a little clip of the uncle behind it because the documentary is available us not international so everybody can catch up with a problem with have a look. and because of that i just like the whole serious i love the simpsons because you hate yourself. my name is very kind of both a great career full of laughter critical acclaim. completely happy but there's still one man who haunts me. this isn't get out and come again how many of you had to deal with being called up for that being referenced. the simpsons stereotypes. problem is we didn't have any other representation.

dr a white guy does the voice of a white guy doing an impression of a white guy making fun of my father how did you feel about that or making a movie about how much i dislike it right away they were like. so you had kind of our who's who of south asian american then there's an actor that in that area here on twitter says what do you then say to people who stay up who is just a cartoon character a voiceover meant to be funny and it's been in character for over twenty years so why bring it up now i mean i think first of all the film is about a certain period of time it's about when a lot of us only had one source of representation and that representation was this cartoon character and it wasn't even really just a stand in for us was more a stand in for my parents and i really believe that representation matters representation especially when you don't know in other person of the culture personally you figure it out from television and film you know that's the way it's

always been and we had no way to respond to this now we're in a different era we have so many more south asian voices you know this is just one of many but when you only have the one and it's not controlled by you and you can't reply to it it's very frustrating and to me it's part of a larger legacy of minstrelsy in this country it's not the same as the history of like black minstrel seed america but it's the same legacy of this is going to be prosperous if we use this face use this this ethnicity as a prop to make people laugh to sell a product it's in that vein and to me it's like if you're going to do that can we make money off talking about our own experiences or we love to share our own genuine stories now we're beginning to and i don't think that's just because diversity is important we have to push it it's because we have people and hollywood found out that we have money to mill spend it and we just want stories that relate so i think it's important i think for me it's less about the poor and it's less

about the simpsons it's a case study that i'm comfortable with because it's from my past and it's also an example that's both the past in the present is very few examples that of art that last thirty years and it's a way of saying this is how that got made this is why it's not acceptable now. and here is the background of it how do we prevent things maybe not exactly like this but things that aren't fair and representative of people's experience how do we prevent that from happening again so i most people in our community are completely on board with what you just said i want to be able to share one view though and magic is not alone here this is my go bend and this is what he had to say and there are a few other people who tweeted in similar comments but have a listen to what he told the stream. from from my point an american hero a self-made immigrant why use. very complex. just becomes he has a strong. voice. it

seems senseless to me i do not find it offensive when i speak with someone of south asian origin as an immigrant from working class. street backgrounds why reducing to one dimensional stereotype he's asking me why i reduced to a fictional character that is drawn in voiced by someone else how i made him one dimensional ok first of all he's british so the experiences of people living in the u.k. and living in the us are different complex and in different ways i don't know what representations you've had in the past but certainly you got goodness gracious me in a bunch of other shows before we did so we were talking about that in the office about the stereotypical characters from the one nine hundred seventy s. and ninety's. which were exactly like a foot different and they were more of them at the time we were this is one piece that was incredibly popular yes. it's the same discussion probably that happened then i would imagine like it was normal someone probably complained oh shut up this

is just part of can you take a joke i can take a job but one of my going to be able to reply and it took me thirty years to reply so you know the character it's not one dimensional he's right on there but it began as a one dimensional character and it wasn't given depth the character began as hank is there he does the voice in a room everyone laughs ok let's make an indian even though they knew it was cliched and they added depth to their credit to this character now if there were other characters in other voices and other experiences that's different this is all there was that's the biggest critique and also to say that you know i'm not giving this cartoon enough credit i just give us more credit i give my people more credit we have the ability to me. much more complex images than that so whether they keep this character on the shore or not i don't care it's been thirty years it's not really important to love the simpsons and i don't naturally hate that character i'm pointing out that it was it was difficult for that period of time and you might think well it's better now well not if you're like you know

a queer person of color or a queer south asian if you're a female you know a south asian if you if you're you know if you're south asian woman if you're if you're trans of huge if you're an immigrant we're your stories were your stories and that's the same issue we don't we still don't have a fair representation of love that you brought that up where your story is and the fact that this documentary was your reply because this is some of the comments because this is should be our who says you're representing our faces our teachers our stories our voices our families and you're doing it wrong and that's a quote from from the documentary he says that's a quote that resonated with me just wondering if there is anything that harvey sees that's leading the charge to correct this narrative from the south asian community in t.v. and film before you answer we actually got an answer from that community from a film producer. a video cop and this is out of california and here's what he said . we launched history writing contest two to crowdsource a cure to this problem you see right now the sense in this is is

sick the simpsons is a predominantly. male over grad writers' room. of these folks who. lack perspective and suffer from group it. and what we want is is right we want writers to send this spec episodes of the simpsons they deal with this problem in a fun way in an interesting way something that actually makes it you know authentic satire something that that that is actually clever in well written. so he actually launched this crowdsourcing screenwriting contest there's a headline of it here and the actual contest you can find online it is here cover fly out to screenwriting contest but you make about i think it's well intentioned and i think it came from a good place but i think it misses the point completely i don't want to play with

old white people's toys i want my own toys like i don't need to try to fix a show that was not made for me and i love the simpsons but it's a relevant it's not even if this was twenty five years ago having a different discussion i want us to tell our stories i want to create the settings i want to own the properties i want to write the scripts i don't mean me personally but i mean people of color women queer people transfer people i want us to control our stories and that's much bigger and i think you know that because you hear myself as a producer and has done some great work and i think that you know his work that he's done outside of this i think is is what we need we need more of that we need more people to actually own the things we're creating and not just like owning our stories they belong to us and telling them i put literally owning it like actually getting money out of it and proving that we can produce this and therefore we can produce even more honest work this is a remarkable conversation we started back in november with

a problem with that documentary i want to bring everybody up to date this is six fifty six am there are today reminder for day four seventy five the trump presidency this is not normal i know wasn't that great either that you can be doing this every day this is the important thing. for the citizens business it's fun and pop culture and it speaks to some important issues regarding representation but i worried the film wouldn't come up before the world ended and that i feel like is the more pressing part you know. every day is another scandal and every day we get lost because we had something yesterday but forgot what yesterday scandal was because of something else today. and i can only imagine with you to have to deal with being in the news industry the intensity of the stories coming in but. you know this to me it's important and i did from the first day that he was you know that he was inaugurated like ok i don't want to get used to this i don't want us to

say president trump and forget how that happened and why that happened in the conditions that led to it and i don't want to think this is the way it's always been and it hasn't you know i think history's important context is important and that's why i do it every day and it's a terrible reminder every morning i have to wake up like i'm going to put a tweet out here or read the thing and put the tweet. out. didn't want to schedule that i want to force myself to do it in some we're. going to have to deal with the bill let's at least feel like at least i'm in control of one thing regarding this whole thing during the day that's why i do it every day i think that is why some people online say that you are part of this resistance is krista black when she says watching her accountable the stream talk about not putting on a political lens for his stand up and this is why he's so effective as a social justice comic it's organic to he is so we actually got a video comment from someone who feels similarly and she has some some questions

about your next steps have a listen i just want to say i'm a huge fan of your work and i am really enjoying kind of all the brothers podcast you are both so funny and i had a quick question for you i was wondering if you had any plans to do any kind of like follow up or other documentary type. movies like the problem with the it was really interesting and. i never want to talk with this cartoon character ever again ok. i didn't think it would take this much of my life because when i made the film it's interesting it was already kind of an old issue for me a lot of people in the the community. do you know i made a joke on the daily show like i wanted to call the film i have to explain this to you like. it was a conversation before but this is excessive who doesn't know. i think there's a difference as an artist does doesn't really push me you know i mean like this is

you know i mean like i love the fact it's being used in college classrooms and schools and trainings and i really do appreciate that but as an artist i want to i want to push myself a little further than something that you know i already had to do some research but already knew the story before i didn't like it it was kind of like ok like i knew what pieces were there and i. look it up a bit but yeah i mean to be doing another documentary is possible but i don't think i want to go into this particular topic i want to i want to create the art and not just reflect on the for our audience who are watching right now let me tell you all of the things that. are on right now these projects so on netflix look right down here at one hundred eighty countries you can see warn your relatives chris rock told me not to use that. is going to be. doing comedy showcase if you're in the states for friday and saturday and sunday if you're in new york you can see him and his brother working on their brooklyn and if you're on your on line

stay with us just for you you tube us we're going to have an extra ten minutes if you want to. go to al-jazeera dot com for such a stream. we'll see you right. no the product of everything that you're doing that's. the old powerful internet is both a tool for democracy and the threat believe that any of your companies have a den of. active measures on your platform in the echo chamber world of fake news

in cyberspace the rules of the game left changed there are no precedents people in power investigates this information and democracy. and. where every. a new series of rewind a care bring your people back to life i'm sorry and bring you updates on the best of al-jazeera documentaries the struggle continues. to. use

distance rewind continues with the return of the lizard king steve charland one of one east upwards of two hundred species are going extinct every twenty four hours and a lot of that is attributed to wildlife trafficking rewind on al-jazeera i really felt liberated as a journalist about. getting to the truth as i would that's what this job. hello i'm sutent and in london with the top stories on al-jazeera there are reports that russia has resumed ass strikes in southern syria after talks broke down between rebels and russian offices that's just fine with jordan's foreign minister calling for a cease fire as soon as possible to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe hundreds of thousands of civilians have been forced from

their homes by the russian syrian offensive there and it's there is at the crossing on the jordan syria border. these people moved to the border area to escape the fighting in daraa province but they also fear the syrian government which considers them terrorists the being involved in opposition activities among them army defectors media activists and employees of rebel run administrations at least for now returning to their towns and villages that have fallen under state rule is not an option. people are afraid there will be reprisals retaliation or even execution as this is why they are asking that any deal is guaranteed by a regional power like a jordan or another out of control or international guarantees from that. the opposition had a few cards to play but hoped they'd have more leverage by resisting government attempts to recapture remaining rebel areas in dara but the negotiations have now

broken down with the opposition saying the russians were asking them to give up too much the rebel groups say it's because of an insistence by the russians rebel groups hand over their heavy weapons however it was understood earlier on that one of the conditions the rebel groups lay down was that they were willing to give up their heavy weapons if the syrian regime forces left areas they had recently taken control of and allowed a greater role for the russian military in policing areas that the rebel groups surrendered to regime control russian military control jordan had been mediating its foreign minister i am in our society went to moscow for talks with his russian counterpart sergei lavrov about how to implement a settlement in south syria after rebels surrender their areas and. look at the situation in the south of syria with strong concern and want to believe that the fundamental goal is to resolve this crisis through a political process we would like to begin with a cease fire and then proceed to solving the question that would help to avoid

a humanitarian catastrophe in this area but it's clear that it is absolutely unrealistic to expect iran to withdraw from syria and the. it won't be possible to solve the problems of the region without the participation of key countries including iran saudi arabia jordan egypt and many others there are no plans yet to restart talks and so the bombardment of dera resumed on wednesday evening but jordan particularly is keen to get all sides talking again hundreds of thousands of syrians trying to escape the fighting a gathered along the border with jordan tens of thousands more could be heading here jordan has already said it won't be letting anyone cross burnitz with al-jazeera on the jordan syria border. iran is threatening to stop all our oil exports from leaving the gulf iranian president hassan rouhani said the measures could be taken if u.s. sanctions prevent iran from selling oil on global markets and the senior iranian

revolutionary guard commander says they're ready to implement the policy if needed . now as the americans have claims they want to completely stop iran's oil exports they don't understand the meaning of this statement because it has no meaning for a rainy and oil law to be exported while the region's oil is exported assuming that iran could become the only oil producer on able to export its oil is a wrong assumption that the united states will never be able to quote iran's oil revenues new video has been released showing a tie youth football team in good health despite being trapped in a cave for eleven days now rescue teams are now giving them crash courses in swimming and diving while experts assess conditions for getting them out safely and u.k. police have declared a major incident after two people were found unconscious in the town this solsbury russian double agent said a script was attacked with a nerve agent in march a man and the woman are in critical condition after they were discovered in the
