now to show their frustration with a sectarian political system that they say breeds corruption and incompetence so in a quarter of ports from beirut. it's been seventy five years since lebanon achieved independence but instead of celebrating these people are protesting the crowd is small a few hundred turned up even though the majority of lebanese suffer from a lack of electricity rising unemployment and dire economic conditions this doesn't surprise civil society activists who aren't able to exploit the state's resources in the same way as the traditional political class there are some people are afraid to talk about what they think and what they need because maybe they got their jobs due to political parties they have their children in hospital so do you schools over there with the help of political parties are exchanging goods or services for boats is part of political life in lebanon so is foreign intervention here i would

not be in that we have everything to them but this is something of a government that this is your duty as it is the other vision. a few kilometers of . leaders mark to the ok but there has been no functioning government for more than six months the country is no stranger to political stalemate because of the links officials have with regional players who use lebanon as a battleground this protest movement is relatively small when compared to rallies organized by political parties it is hard to attract large crowds independently of sectarian parties that dominate politics this is what these people hope to change. calls for change are not new a few years ago protests about the rubbish crisis turned into a campaign against the political elite there were demands for regime change not long after there was a crackdown by security forces it's not the first time since been through the

president to territory the country's artists are not taking it lying down they are putting pen to paper and challenging the status quo with a uniquely political odds to me alan duggan reports. in a country of widespread poverty and violence artist emo says he astound his voice he says the current state of democracy in the philippines is what fuels his creativity. he uses elements from a popular culture to make a political statement part of a growing trend in the art community you know the artist thrives in adversity i think the amount of artwork that's being churned out right now with some bottle meat there of whatever is happening not only in the country but you know in the world through this and there's scenes and the state plates the pin down. media art would always be an effective second line of defense.

to the president to be good at their do was sworn into office the number of artworks highlighting controversial issues continues to grow like the government's war on drugs that has left thousands of filipinos dead. the resurgence of protests art is seen as a response to the growing authoritarianism in the country but artists here tell us finding the moral courage to do so doesn't come easy. it is creative provocative and one that resonates more with ordinary working people and their struggles than the more privileged in society. much of the art is identified with the leftist movement in the country one that's often been at odds with governments past and present it started during the martial law period an

artist tries to confess what he feels what he thinks should be seen by the public that challenge us people the thing. women so representative rights militarization and the displacement of indigenous peoples are just some of the issues artists do not shy away from. people who see this art see they recognize the courage needed by the artists to produce and show their work art that aims to mirror society rather than escape it the city has never been more relevant in the country. duggan. was much more in everything we're covering right. a quick look at headlines this hour u.s.

president donald trump appears to have undermined his own intelligence agency's assessment of the saudi crown prince his role in the murder of jamal khashoggi he says the cia assessment does not conclude that mohammed bin sellon ordered the killing this is a turkish newspaper says the cia may have a recording of the crown prince ordering be silenced. i hate the koran i hate words i hate the cover up. i will tell you the crown prince harry. more than i do remember. the cia reports of both ways. maybe maybe you didn't but i will say strongly that it's a very important. well u.k. prime minister says breaks in negotiations have reached a critical moment and she'll do everything possible to deliver a draft of or still the e.u. is scheduled to vote on the agreement on sunday. we haven't agreed text between the u.k. and the european commission the text is being out today being shared with the leaders

of the other twenty seven member states ahead of the specially you council on sunday the negotiations analogy a critical moment and all our efforts must be focused on working with our european partners to bring this process to a final conclusion in the interests of all our people well in all the headlines the united arab emirates says it's determined to protect its strategic relationship with person a day after sentencing a british student to life in prison for spying the u.a.e. denied that thirty one year old matthew hedges had been treated unfairly insisting he been given access to a translator but it said both sides would work to find an amicable solution. and president on a trump is authorized u.s. troops to use lethal force against migrants on the border with mexico if needed it comes as immigration officials in mexico's border state of chiapas have detained about six hundred migrants traveling northwards in a new caravan that has not stopped other groups of central americans from heading

to mexico with of course the hope of getting to the united states some ten thousand people are expected to gather at the northern border we're up to date with all of our top stories there will be more news at the top the next hour in twenty five minutes time i'll see you then coming up next it's the strain. ok and you're in the stream today part two of our discussion with the cast of the fall a play that chronicles the activism behind a social movement that started in south africa in march of twenty fifteen students

at the university of cape town launch road smiles for a movement that not only pull down a statue but spots a global campaign to de colonise education so what does it mean to be a student activist and what's been the global impact of not just the movement but the play as well and joining us to discuss that are three of the co-creators and members of the cast clio rattus. and. welcome everyone to the stream it is really good to have you both here i wanted to start with this comment you to this is anna who writes in how do you feel about having become some of the leading international representatives and voices these must fall and road courses or to hashtags that went global after they started in south africa first in twenty fifteen and then later on in twenty six team what does that feel like to be what some people might say are the leaders of this because they see you

in acting on the stage. it's a great responsibility. it is a very emotional experience as well if you could think about the fact that. dating back to early as our parents black people weren't given this kind of platform or this kind of voice to tell the truth and share their pain and i think that we had a very good our ancestors our parents they've paved a way for us to be able to do that and so we cannot get to a point where we are misrepresenting that particular story so i think it really grounds us really roots us it's it is very humbling to be able to tell the story everything go day yeah. i think. ok when i hear that treat. because for me i think first and foremost it's my art introduced me into

activism or gave me the confidence to be an activist so now that i'm hearing that that statement of the question only i mean i knew that. it is quite a responsibility performing this play and representing the type of. ideas and ideologies are are put on the play i just didn't think of considering myself as i can international representative of the movement but that is i think it's an definitely an honor this movement. is it's it's a big deal because the last. it's so weird it happened at a time where as south africans were actually commemorating a movement that happened in like the one nine hundred seventy s. a very huge movement that happened in. in the shuffle saw it's like kind of like a repetition and it's sad that as black south africans or as people of color in

a marginalized group in south africa it still seems like we're fighting about the same things although the arrows are different but i think it's an honor to be that it's a huge responsibility and the most incredible thing is that i think there's so much for me to learn as an artist as an activist as a person as a person that belongs to the community and society so as as much. you know as this movement has introduced me to brady de part of myself i also realize that there's so much that i need to learn and i think i look forward to that the most i'm going to remind our audience watching this. this was a major news story what happened in cape town and then spread to other universities with the idea of the fees being too expensive that really took hold and this was how we reported it on al-jazeera have a look. student protests closed johannesburg's university of the bar to

strand two weeks ago it was supposed to reopen on choose day but a group of about five hundred students were not going to let that happen. so the police moved in. and. they fired rubber bullets tear gas and stun grenades at the protesting students these students say they want free university education to help close south africa's inequality gap which is still largely divided along color lines they're angry at how president jacob zuma treated them at a meeting on monday. so that was our. reporting. at that time. i remember it started inverts actually when we went to parliament part of the fourth of may actually standing in parliament where we had two words standing in front of us to protect us from the police because it was quite brutal as you can

see in the clip. we had to ask why she was because the police were saying would not attack you know the white students in the movement in fact these even apart with the four top of an iconic photo of a police officer helping take a photo of of these white girls who've come to a protest but when it's us it's like we're treated differently so it also hit home for me because when i came to the university i only had two hundred which my family gave me to spend in far away kilometers away from where i stay and not having the fees to integrate me into the lifestyle that orientation opens up for you in university i wasn't able to integrate from the word go into the university system because of the fees that exorbitant in that are high that our families cannot pay. and i wanted to bring this up here because you mentioned you're taking us back to what that feeling was like a couple questions similar to this one the that we got on you tube this is i who

says what has changed as years ago another person writing on twitter says. says i attended the university still no as a rhodes it's been decided that the universities name will not change because it brings money in because the legacy of rhodes is still rooted in privilege and wealth even in south africa clear i'll give this one to you what has changed for you what do you see is. the most significant change especially keeping in mind that . the universities don't known as rhodes has not changed the most significant change has been with the youth of south africa so we have even high school and primary school children dealing with words like do you call him as a c. everything was moved into the mainstream they know what you can. they know what or beginning to understand what institutionalized racism is and it was terms like that we didn't know it all we were like i'm feeling this but i don't know what it is i don't know how to express it and then suddenly you have a term for it you know how did you learn that what was happening politically.

throughout those muscle movement suddenly we had all these academic. academic books and readings that we could. have access to to educate ourselves and moving it to each other and it was a turning point for a lot of the youth so the youth are a lot more empowered and that's the biggest thing that came out of it for me because now people are no longer sitting quietly in waiting for something to happen doing something for the change to happen. they're having a voice and that was the most important thing for me you know. i was going to say pretty much the same i think that's the most important change that could occur that could occur. at the end of the day you know you can only push institutions so far they're only listen to you so far the government parliament it's very self-serving self-serving industry like you said with the roads they refused to change their

name because the name rose brings in money so i think the most important changes to be the mentalities of the people that go to the places because a lot of the structures are held in place because of all the generations so i think if younger people are more psychologically and emotionally empowered then that is so that is so so so much better any like what you said you're so right my nephew is like twelve years old he knows a lot more than i like then i knew when i always tell us one thing you know is just like a lot more aware i guess when something doesn't look right for me as a child that i was a very observant child. like if something doesn't look over me but like if the is for instance at his school they give telling him behaving is always an issue they give telling him to cut his hair cut his hair and he came home crying one day and he was like they keep asking me to cut my hair but my hair doesn't fall in my face

like my friends and i was like well what is that he's like it's a race and i was like attaboy. go back to school and if they have a problem he'd tell them to hit me up on it there's a little. little side note for people who don't have afro hair so africa kind of grows out that way sometimes in some schools which are go beyond colonialism but still maybe have that thought that idea of what's in the hairstyle does not go out like that it's kind of slowed down or short or western style little note they're. wearing for us so we want to show you a couple of excerpts from the fall and we're going to pick up in the production where the statue of rose has been removed but instead of all celebration new issues of intersectionality of rise causing rifts between the genders so here to perform a scene is the entire cast of the four. you see

after old foul all the problems that the movement had been suppressing began to come back into focus now the issue of gender had been simmering throughout the occupation and now love the statue was gone the tensions began to boil over the black radical feminists were demanding that the men account for their patriarchal behavior while the men were feeling more and more attacked. what you guys did was definitely derail our narrative by jumping on that plan you gave the media this huge photo op then i want to focus on the little statements that we keep making as women and i don't want to have to compete with you for the spotlight by being hyper masculine and jumping on flatbed trucks and hitting statues we had an agreement just stick to the agreement for once so are you saying

that we can't express ourselves naturally this is biology it's not your limits when we are in spaces like that testosterone takes over so what must we do it. and our this is the hyper masculinity they keep telling you about so checked by selfies . every single time we have these discussions about gender uses hit men and women make it all about you and the rest of us are sitting here suffocating you continue to use these he see brother says the boundaries even after non-binary kids have expressed our pain at being referred to under them you ignore queers non-binary colluders transgender kids in the space when you asked us violent and offensive questions we spent hours here educating you trying

to validate our existence. we have put our bodies on the line or over and over for this movement but we are still seen as invisible members of the face respect. respect our existence. i await. you black feminists of patriarchy princesses you refuse to put your money where your mouth and leave this movement. never start making us proud that is the tweet we got from showing a sunny on twitter to the stream you just saw the cast of the fall on a sunny rights y'all revolutionary pollution rise the world with your talent for fire emergency the great bear she goes on to say when began i was in my final year

at the university of cape town i went and protests there with my fellow students and i went to drama school with the entire cast of the play so i'm really proud of them perspiring the important message in keeping the movement going internationally so there's a little bit of love online for all of you. watching him. back up what you talked about in that piece we just saw because we got a video comment from someone who is a former student activist in cape town and she talks about what this movement meant for her as a black woman have a listen to what then i told us the fall is in was defined by a deep awakening and awareness of black consciousness and for the first time. the need of discourse around race one nine hundred ninety four i think the movement changed when the presence of absolute thinking began to sr and the criteria for

being accommodated with is narrowed. one thing that has remained for me is that the movement has given me confidence to be bold and pound and portly to occupy space as a black female specifically in a city like keep down with black voices forgotten or on. with everything what in particular resonates with you. i want to share the fact that you know what she's talking about every after the movement everyone like had a sense of confidence in themselves and understanding that. as individual first and foremost the one thing that she was to the movements were different things and then we came together as one group you know under one banner but the story of being black and writing history is not complete without addressing the most imagine

allies in the society you know people like black people women in the struggle goes on to create a body's non-binary kid is like we saw one of the non-binary kids in this case that people just saw now walking out people who are who have disabilities our image is not complete until all those people are also empowered to feel like they can participate and can contribute into the movement and that was one of the things in the movement that was shaky for for for some kid this was a participated in you know mobilizing and contributing to to to narrative and to change in the university. i'm sure you must you must have seen less but i want to remind our international audience of how far the must for movements have moved around the world this oxford must fall. and just look here just like the races institutions never change most for and then we go to harvard in the us royal must

fall harvard law school and what those students were protesting about was this here you see. the slaves carrying the sheaves they eventually managed to get rid of that shield and then they continued to actually look at some of the injustices in the micro aggressions that were happening to people of color at harvard and that continues on. must. the thing that connects these and there are many other universities around the world who are using you as an example what's like. i can't exactly point out because. you know as we we have the privilege of taking the show internationally right now but we definitely weren't like the architects of the four of the movement but it's it's a great thing that a movement in south africa was able to influence so many other universities i

remember when the shutdown happened and we also had a lot of universities supporting us shutting down their universities because they're supporting for african universities in shutting down so it's incredible also the use of social media has helped the movement saw incredibly much it's connected so many voices that are going through so many similar things across the world and across campuses for us to be allowed also we're not the only it's not crazy to feel the way that we feel and we're not the only people feeling this so it's a great feeling to know that people that are in these educational these institutions . are not there to just absorb information it's like no we're done with that we're here to change the narrative we're here to make sure that when we have children and they go into these institutions they're not necessarily going through the same problems that we're going through that they're there to learn because oppression in

all types of forms it disturbs you it takes away so much of your time so much of your heart so much of your energy you know in areas where you could be grown as a person that is like stunted because you're constantly having to validate yourself in situations where you really shouldn't have to especially considering the fact that we're in africa you know what i'm trying to say where the majority we are in africa at the bottom of africa but yet a lot of the times it doesn't feel like that and i was just going to refer to something that gore said about cape town cape town is it's a beautiful city to look at as they're typically but it's very problematic and i'm not surprised at the fact that the university of cape town because it's firstly it's very hard to get into that university and it's very diverse as to which is a beautiful thing but there's not enough representation and it's in cape town and it just shows the type of environment that you know we live in and yeah i'm

just glad that it's been able to influence other universities and then that name has stuck because a lot of things need to for. not just universities i want to bring this up this is a scryer palled quest they wrote to us on you tube they say take them down no law that's the hash tag thanks you for your work we stand in solidarity with you in the struggle to remove symbols of white supremacy and the systems about they represent not taking down can choose in new orleans louisiana family. it is thomas thanksgiving in the us you are performing at the studio in d.c. so people around they can go and see you in production what i am particularly thankful for is that you are not only activists but also says billions because that is our lives or beautiful. i'm going to go to work one more time we love to see another excerpt from the four and let's pick up in a production where the students are protesting outside of parliament under the banner of fees for because of the post twelve percent increase in tuition fees at

universities the government has called this an illegal protest and instructed police to use force to disperse the crowds a scene takes place after some of the stun grenades are used on the students so he took form once again as the cost of the four will. be so the first done grenade was aimed over the line of white people into the black students and workers behind them who just burst briefly and when we returned the wife kids ran to the front again demanding that the police arrest them they threw more stun grenades and we just burst again but this time running into government as are you we arrived just in time to see the gates of parliament closing now there was a group stuck inside the parliamentary precinct and another group outside trying to get back in as the gates were closed form for oh i've been down to pick it up and i was trapped inside i looked down the dollars for work sunglasses i'm.

not sunglasses i get it but held protests and. the curious continued the police kept on canadians who were displaced and coming back i remember a policeman getting hit with only helmet these were our fathers who were fighting an opposite. the police thought and warning off them hitting us with their riot shields all the students in the front were black so call was made to our white allies to form a human shield in front of us i remember a police officer telling a white girl that they didn't want to harm them. and i thought. this was a thought africa nelson mandela dreamt of where blacks and whites protest together but nothing has changed.

we used to meet people. we used to dream of a future where we didn't need to protest anymore or call ourselves brave and fearless. there are reasons we call ourselves that. there are reasons some of us are losing our humanity one protest at a time the reasons the workers go on strike reasons the black students are so angry that it feels like the entire world is doing everything in its power not to see them what do we need to do to show people that we can't keep living like this. to show them that the state of our lives isn't normal that poverty isn't normal and that the townships we are born into are not normal and we are tired of being forced to be brave and fearless. i don't want to be this person

. i don't want my life to be a series of violent gatherings where i'm always running away from the police and they are stun grenades. i want to be safe. i want to matter. i'm tired. my soul is tired. but the reasons i came here the first time only. they will let me live a normal life. you know watching an excerpt from the production of fall here on the stream tray graham on twitter says y'all i just saw the ball there and i'm here to say that if you're any kind of engaged in making progressive change in the world you really owe it to yourself to sit with this work made by students who were there the road smarts
