first time a large stable body of liquid water has been discovered on the red planet and a barber has this report a stunning discovery is what they're calling it one that could help scientists know for sure whether life ever formed on mars or even exists today the study led by italian researches says they found what could be an underground lake it's a large body of liquid water twenty kilometers wide and one point five kilometers below the surface and it was found using radar instruments on board the european space agency's orbiter mars express scientists looked at radar readings from the planet's southern ice cap which provided ideal conditions ice is a very thin aspirant medium expression if it's called the impurity of the electromagnetic waves and so it's good they can make the applied to the the much simpler cups of course these are these caps. have some impurities malevolent the

ice is called there then the ice on the mars might be cold and dry now but we already know thanks to rovers on its surface and other probes examining it from orbit that it was once a warm place with plenty of liquid water and lakes. the new study doesn't tell us how deep the reservoir is so researchers can't say whether what they found resembles an underground pool or is simply a layer of sludge but they do believe it's potentially a huge breakthrough liquid water channeled exist on the surface it's simply not possible because of the miscarriage pressure on mars is still incredibly thin so how water to remain liquid you have to be buried underneath the surface and it also has to be very very altering the areas is also of huge importance because a stalled water lake is potentially exactly the sort of place you would go to look for life form the search for life on mars has been going on for decades scientists

us where the streams coming next and how a joke from a south african comedian sponsored the bait about french identity. i have had the ok i enjoy the street and i'm really could be allowed to date france football as a race in the wake of a world cup when some are asking what does it mean to be french and we are diving into a topic pitch by a member of our community and a market listen during the world cup a lot of people joke that they would support

the black an african team and by the time the final rolled around that black african team somehow more entrenched and i saw a line conversation tweets going viral this conversation around citizenship and race and religion in france and i wanted to hear from actual french people especially minorities black and muslim and others about what it feels like what it means to be french and and to observe this global conversation about the impact of the team on contemporary french citizenship south african comedian travel no added fuel to the debate on nationality with a joke about france's wealth cup when referring to the large number of players of african descent. so what happened was let's start at the beginning france won the world cup. and so on the show we celebrated that and i had this joke where. i said africa won the world.

while his joke has drawn fierce criticism no continues to stand by his remarks meanwhile the conversation on what it means to be french rolls on and here to discuss that from france require diallo she's a writer journalist and t.v. host a b t france in paris pierre haski is a better and journalist and commentator machines most our dean he's the deputy city counselor for the paris suburbs and sent to me and in new york louis sarkozy he's a french philosophy and religion student at new york university he's also the son of the former french president nicolas sarkozy have replaced good to have you here and for those of you watching live on you tube you can leave your comments in the chat box and we will try and get them into this show so french guests yes it's lovely to have you. for disclosure here i am of african descent i know that may

have been a surprise to some of you i didn't realize as i was following the means and the jokes about the french team that within france there was some friction some tension about these jokes let me show you that moment when i realized and this is from one of our producers senior producer of al-jazeera he's based in france and he says dear twitter it is time to stop this front on african team nonsense if you don't understand why that's hope for them best to just sit let france enjoy this moment the idea of it being thoughtful p.s. can you explain why some people would find what seemed to be a little bit of teasing a little bit of a joke why that would be so painful for french people. you know it when. other people make the same joke as martin lip and the leader of the far right in front about the french team being an african team there's a problem and that problem is that it implies that you cannot be french and black

or french arab and that that's the core of the issue obviously there are a lot to say and we will come to that later probably about discrimination about the lack of equality of chances within the french society for minorities but the basic thing is that this team is seen by a very very large majority of french as the french national team and joking as trevor norah said oh africa won the world cup is a way of denying those players their frenchness although they are born in france they have played with the national team they are they have full citizenship and that's where that's where the problem lies. i i don't really agree with the end of what you say and i was fully agreed with. when he

said that you know way africa won the world cup because we all know that player has to play in the french national team have to be french but we also know that they have. for an ascendant and we know that many of the french players. their parents come from africa or from other countries and i think that we should really think about what is being french today and i think that we can be french from african descendants and be fully fully integrated into french national team so. that's what trevor sent. a great company i agree with what you say he says now this is a second time when you receive. what i've got.

i'm very interested in that proposition because everyone seems to understand that when you're african you kind of the french at the same time i understand why it is problematic to refer to french players as african in the french context but it should be because you have many people from the far right who deny the fact that they are french by saying that they are from growth that they don't belong and that they are africans so in the french context i mean from people from the far right it means denying the fact that they are french but as myself being a woman from african descent i'm french but much i mean you come from africa i can understand why people of african descent all around the world and i think it's important to say a trip is south africa how they can relate to that success and how no have how did you have the will to to share that moment of joy because it's not because you're african that you've got you're going to be french at the same time so i

understand that i would be angry if someone from the far right political landscape was said that those cases are african because in the french context it means something different but from someone who is from african descent trying to share you know heritage come and come and carry a common belonging to the. over genes with the african continent isn't it something because we don't have so many opportunities to see people of african descent descending to the great eyes as a national hero so i understand you know what he what he wanted what do you did want to say it so to try and i want to take your point and push it a step further you mentioned contacts and i think that's what's so important here so this is a tweet got from john paul he says these i didn't to tarion at the right of the far right meaning the ultra right were the first to say that the french team should better be called the team of africans so of course that is what a lot of people have a problem with but on the plus side is that this person on twitter and i'll give

this you lewis cuts a kani says bringing. at back to national identity to say the french national team which they rightly are are not african smacks of supremacy and implies that they must choose one of the other went to sides being racists and this person's view is factually correct when you talk to us about that but the having to choose aspect well of course well i think it's a very personal choice to make to begin with i mean the little stories that these players need to make themselves i don't think anybody could make it for them the problem i have is that other people were trying to certain that nationality on to the french that it was excuse me then you must go ahead we were going to take up because my side out of it i just had a child and tragically in tameside about that carry on the government no worries no worries so my problem is that the most of the articles i've read at least the people saying that it was really an african team were reason criteria as to the knowledge of freshness that could very well like to me so as i heard my and my colleagues and i forget what his name what she said while the other african

ancestry well my ancestry is from gary and i don't have a french name either psycho's he's hardly a french name so if they are not crimes then my french and to me if he's the sole difference i see skin pigmentation and this is where i see that the problem and perhaps the discriminatory underpinnings of this whole theory is that every criteria that is being used to deny their freshness quote unquote could very well be applied to me or anybody who has ancestry from outside the country and according to the to the four of us we're not denied it yes i'm sure he meant that there were similar sense of of course and not only not always a number but just the fact that we're having this conversation means that some people don't adhere to them fully for example look us up on this whose parents are from spain no but nobody seems to be denying his friendships despite having a spanish name right from europe and nobody would say point so you're opposed to his on your. well people are not facing the same racism as

people from african or not africa ascendance of course the only prayer is we are questioning the the frenchness are black or arabs we never question the fact that for example trying to raise money said if you go that's for spanish and french if i just lay example myself you know so i think that's the way people. the way people dress their french ness is very. fine the word. dutch with a different tree if they come from europe from africa it's obvious to me. that there's a problem but. i think there's a problem there of confusion between identity on one side what makes you french and on the other side the fact that there is racism there is discrimination there's

a lack of equality in the country i think these are two different issues and the same standard should be used to define frenchness whether you come from hungary spain or like me i'm a jew from tunisia i was born there my family was in tunisia before the french arrived in tunisia to the french by accident and i feel one hundred percent french so that's the whole issue then there is the question of discrimination and defy the fact that this society has done division for you. yes one question for you. do people get you back to your always seems like back several times do people question your frenchness. no because there's a difference between visible minorities and non visible already we all know you are real know that and that so have i only just came here i want to jump in here

because i hear the point you were making machines and here the point you're making here you mentioned earlier that there are two different issues here you know the racism that minority groups often face and this issue of being called something other than friends our community though is linking those two things so this is a common we got live on you tube this person says racism is alive in france make no mistake people are being denied jobs and rents because of their ethnicity and minorities are profiled by police too so that's one aspect of this we also got a video comment from someone who says this is what it takes to be considered a friend this is are the friends who are on and he's actually in kazakhstan but this is one has to say have a listen so historically in france the dominant conception of politicians as always been civic conceptions meaning that the attachment to the french nation is solely based on people's willingness and desire to voluntarily join the french family so

being part of the national team in france is similar to being part of the armed forces notwithstanding your origins or religion people will accept us part of the community because of your willingness to sacrifice everything for friends so really i don't you are trying to get in there he says it's all about the willingness to sacrifice everything that is a high bar but what do you make of this comet i think that. communication. what i find interesting is that not many seem to understand that you can be both african and french there is one of the payor i do honey who say's he's twelve moroccan no work and french on the same time so there is a way to deal with both you know both identity if you are from african descent and you are french and i think that the debate that we're having here right there is never as great from and where images are from when i can it is constantly asked you know where you're from how come you speak such

a good friend as if we're not if you were not the defense it has to do with what mess it's like we tend to see you think that being french being white and what i find very interesting in that story is that you have millions of french citizens who are on a daily basis denied their citizenship and i have the feeling that you faced when the what kept you be finally recognized as a french you know you have so many people who are targeted by discrimination by what is because you and nobody can know one of the not of the people who you know stand to say that the team is french we never hear those voice to these under citizenship of the the west the winter i have friends in this current inclination if i may i would like to hear them where you can my twenty for example of course but if i may the way to fight this war stick discrimination that needs to be fought wherever it is found is to say that even the black in the muslim players on the french team are as french as anybody else it's not by writing or the quote was going on i don't have to say that it is more like the real not the matter. ok can i

say i mean i'm right i've there are we can all agree on that one many among us now and so yes i'm saying i know it's a question and i think if i may it's funny you know i'm the oldest of four and when i was young. thank you the key word was as you need a simulation to be considered a friend you had to give up your original your identity and that's what happened to my generation and i think the country has moved a long way in that direction in the sense that today as well said there are budgets so you can be french and african you can be french and it doesn't mean that discrimination has gone away and it's far from that but i think we need more we are in a society today you know when president mccourt welcomed the team at the elysee palace he had hundreds of kids from the clubs that raised the players so many

mostly from poorer sections of the population and he told them one thing he said to the players he said don't forget where you come from and i think it didn't mean this is only africa where they were he meant your identity your background and i think the french society is moving probably too slow in the direction where you can keep retain your identity what's the core of your origin and family identity and because you did french we're still a long way and i agree one hundred percent with you there's a lot of work to do but it's a very different country than the one i grew up in forty years ago i met it can i show that yes i can i say this to you if i may lean forward looking at your sky i'm just going to show you this this is from sports and this is the breakdown of the african roots of the roots of liberal or the french football team and then this is benjamin i think of the general and he yeah and this is this is what he did he

changed it you're calling the french flag and then he has a little wink fixed it's consistent pressure is out pressure to say ok i'm not anything else i'm just going to be french. no i don't think that the response doesn't i mean he made was to say that he was on the french. but i think he wanted to say i'm also french i'm french playing in the french national team and i also tried of my origin and i think that the problem in this role is that more and more people are questioning your identity many people ask me where i am from me if i believe in god or not if i'm not. so it's very difficult in france also forty years. after what. many people want. a singular

a unique franchise they want us to cut two to two cuts with our roots they want us to forget where we come from and i have a message for them we want. we won't forget where we are we all struggle allegiance we are all wrong we know where they came from different countries mine came from algeria many years ago and i have two passports and problems the two passports and i feel french and jerry but you know i don't. know any more people that are getting me back to our region letting me think that i am not a stretch of they are but i am born in france and i should have the same rights as any other french. citizen but there is the reality is that a person like me which is nonwhite has twenty times more

probability to be judged by the police in the street as a white. person and that's also the right the reality we are facing despite the fact that france wanted. so there's. someone here who would agree with you their misdeeds this is supreme she says of the french african person i think that's a struggle i go through every day in france i'm always reminded that i'm algerian and algeria i'm always reminded that i'm french and if i feel like identity is complex but people force us to choose one identity so i want to pick up on that theme of being forced to choose because we got this tweet here pierre from someone who says diversity is a beautiful thing it's a plus not a minus the french policy of assimilation robs the people of their racial roots and so in itself is racist parry your take on that. yeah we're not discovering that we live in a time of identity politics and identity politics is poison it's leading

to confrontation to conflict so many people are playing with that it's. the fire of the moment whether it's in europe whether it's in burma with a rowing or whether it's in the us with a trap administration so we should not play as if we were discovering that and so they should be. coming from here of defending this right to have complex identities to have your tweeple quadruple identities i don't care. and that's where the joke of travel was badly mistaken this is like many other houses and if you go ahead i also want i need to call it the french embassy in the u.s. because he's contradicting the plan he was using you got us and he got first i just wanted to respond to my jean and then of course we all know these numbers and these are perfect numbers where minorities are more likely to be profiled etc but the way

to fight against that but you do if you're walking in the street and somebody told you well no you cannot be french look at you look at the color of your skin look at your religion i mean this is exactly what's happening with these people saying that they're not really french are not fully present that african heritage and then i'll be willing to be in the street with you and fight and say no yes french no matter what his color is a number of what his religion is i think all that i know same problem people in targeting the same problem but we're targeting it from different sides so i understand that yes mccain is on the yes so he says this is the french anderson the u.s. from campus or not i want to keep going back to a comedian struggle anybody but it's a larger point who are poor since he can be a multiple places and still be french the french and the c. in the u.s. has to last there is no hyphenated identity with an interview. joviality by calling them african teams it seems you are denying that function as well kyra go ahead yes

i'm i was kind of shocked by that statement form from the ambassador because to me kind of france us who are french from you know different backgrounds because i think that there are helping a few identities in sense as we said in fact as we said earlier one of the failures of you know honey says that is friends and work and reach me that there is something you know in addition a few frenchness and what you could not i think that is an offense over people from france who are groups abroad and what i can add is that i've not read well what was important in the debate is that whether french african french and african only french. it's actually done i think that we need to be sent to them and the way that they define themselves what's problematic is to impose an identity from one that doesn't and to label someone against his or her own will and that's what you can of experience of my know which is unsettling quite responsive to question that's not

not only a catch as to another country but also united because that's we are truly fair and . ok you being white you know that if you can. i think this person would agree with you on twitter they write yes you can be french and african at the same time but that doesn't cover how white french people will treat you it's a fact that immigrants are marginalized and face layers of obstacles in society and ironically football is one of the past for many to come out of poverty and then they go and win the world cup. and i comment on that story well. if i could just i will comment. ok sorry just a short remark it's true that football all over the world has been the past for the underdogs of the society to come up you know whether it's socially or ethnically or where they were but they should be another point raised here one of the most
