government is under pressure to resolve the crisis a long strike and uncertainty means millions of dollars in losses the wakas says they're rated to talk but the long listened to the truth about the controversial marja catherine sorry are nairobi at the heart of europe's refugee crisis and twenty fifteen tens of thousands of people were arriving on your shores every month now with a number of new rivals down nearly ninety percent the european commission has declared the migration crisis over so what's changed much for those seeking refuge as john how explains. this notion that the migration crisis in europe over the european commission pointing to a ten fold decrease in the numbers of migrants refugees and asylum seekers trying to get into europe is something that i think would be disputed in the vast unsanitary in secure asylum camps in libya african migrants trying to get to europe
4:10 am
and of course among the thousands festering in awful conditions inside europe in camps in the greek islands most of those refugees from syria there the crisis is very much not over it in any case why now why use this language when i think it's a pushback against what the commission describes as fake news misinformation myths and untruths about migration put about from within its own ranks you hear this debate very much alive in countries like italy where migration is used to fuel support for parties on the far right one of which is actually in government you hear it in countries like britain but no one has made as much running with it as victor or banned in hungary who's used it as an election platform he won an election another one last year old off the back of the migration sentiment and rhetoric railing against the european union on everything to do with border security and calm compulsory relocation quotas and just

a few days ago using the photograph the picture of john called you look at the commission president alongside all bands but why are george soros to depict. and constantly warns against a deliberate effort to flood europe with hundreds of thousands more refugees were on him that was a step too far for the european commission and this is the fighting back essentially against one of its own. the british government has held emergency talks after a recent upsurge in fatal teenage stabbings police chiefs have asked for more money and powers to deal with a nationwide problem the u.k.'s defense secretary even suggested putting troops on the streets to help the of barca has more from london. jody chesney and yusef marquis are the latest ninth and tenth teams to be fatally stabbed this year this is the london parkway jody chesney was murdered stabbed in the back as she played music with friends the victims were both seventeen ten teenagers have been killed in stabbings this year twenty seven in the past twelve months the killings of

course outrage and a fierce national debate nine of my friends were shot dead in the last one was shot fifty seven times this is sheldon thomas a former gang member who now advises young people and politicians on violent crime he believes the current debate been heightened because recent victims have been white and middle class why does it take a made a profit person to be killed before they use the word crisis when poor whites and blacks are being killed for many years over fifteen twenty years we've had countless of young people stabbed in exactly the same way shot dead and yet it wasn't considered a crisis where. the children of thomas one c. or thora choose to pay more attention to the impact of social media and a culture that glorifies guns and knife crime this is drill music police believe it bulis rival gang violence this group of ten eleven was recently banned from mentioning death or injury in their music money girls in respect that the gang is

what throws in very world social media is their broadcast social media is the mom social media is the bag and in their world what you call a surge in knife crime rate justice it's very verge of justice finding a solution to knife crime is now in the hands of the government and police a growing number of young people have lost their lives in a cycle of mindless violence that has shocked us all the responsibility for these crimes lies with the perpetrators of them but we must do more to ensure that justice is served but the government faces tough questions over funding. with the blood to the lowest police numbers in decades public services that were there to support young people have been systematically stripped away you cannot keep community size on the tree by cuts and privatizing action you have to invest
4:14 am
in all of our communities police chiefs want to implement a surge against my crime review powers to stop and search people they've been given to the end of the week to set out exactly how much investment they need there are fewer officers there for this less policing going on and there's more crime so there's some sort of link it's not the only thing that explains what's going on but it is part of the equation poverty drugs gangs abusive homes psychological problems deep cuts in policing not to mention an online culture that seems to glamorize and glorify violence there's no single reason why young people are carrying knives while teens are murdering teens on britain's streets and that suggests there's no single solution barca al-jazeera london germany's ambassador venezuela has been expelled for welcoming the opposition leader in caracas on monday daniel crean know was among a group of diplomats who helped door return to venezuela on monday following

site in the north west of the country have been restored as comes just days after nuclear talks between the north korean leader kim jong un and us president donald trump in vietnam ended in failure my own sense is that this is sort of peek at the way donald trump treated them in north korea are in vietnam there was a sense that that was leading to something we know that there was some surprise on the north korean side that it sort of fell apart and this is i think the north koreans were punching back. meanwhile the un has warned north korea is facing severe food shortages after its worst harvest in more than a decade u.n. figures show production of staple crops like soybeans and potatoes are down by more than a third british and american made bombs have killed or injured nearly one thousand civilians in yemen according to a report by a yemeni monitoring group and a us human rights organization report investigated twenty seven airstrikes launched on yemen by the saudi led alliance between april twenty fifteen and april twenty

commission's first vice president says while the crisis may be over structural problems still remain to stay with us and i was there next it's the stream when you talked about thanks for watching. i found the ok i am new in history and i'm really could be alive today is for tonight more than just a video game we have diving into one of the biggest cultural phenomena in gaming so share your thoughts in our live chat or you can tweet us at a.j. stream need to be in this to.
4:22 am
the free to play online video game for tonight is a cultural juggernaut not only is it influencing pop culture but pop culture is influencing fortnight the game boasts more registered players than the populations of canada and mexico combined it also generates roughly two hundred fifty million dollars in revenue each month for its creator epic games but for many of the two hundred million people who play it fortnight isn't just a game it's a communal gathering place joining us to talk about this from los angeles we have jamie in the war and he's an avid gamer and founder of two five six a company that works with brands to engage with the world of play and interactivity in new york i should have done is a journalist who regularly reports on the gaming well out in charlotte north carolina author psychologist and co-founder of tank gaskill good to have you as we also want to introduce you to one other person you will see throughout the show how
4:23 am
they get rashid is a digital producer here with the stream and an avid for gamer to be playing the game during our discussions and you'll be out to follow along and he's fortnight jenny is at the bottom of the screen all the way through so if you get killed early we will know no question all right. i have never paid for tonight so we're going to play a wiz you what do we need let's jump right into it so here we are in the lobby screen as you can see this is right before you jump into the game ok so real quick i'm going to my locker room so far what happened in our. me i'm going to have you choose my outfit all right i'm going to stop this guy yet ok so me and my. bling. bling bling yes i want we want you to fly so now i'm back in the lobby and i'm ready to go fire up and triangle and i'm going to get him all right can you play until. all right play and talk of course so will the loading screen takes
4:24 am
a couple seconds and i'll be probably in again probably a minute or two well we watching you the bottom of the screen. so i mean we know that we have a lot of gamers in our community but this is one person who is not as simple and so i want to start this conversation with them this is christopher who says i heard a lot about this game for tonight and was curious to see if it was worth all the hype after trying it for a month i decided it wasn't for me love the look but spending twenty plus minutes wandering a giant world without seeing the soul to just get taken out from behind is not my idea of fun so james and i you know when i see you laughing in there i want to give a little teaser for our audience because mohammad before the show described the game as our version of the hunger games if you've seen the movies or you read the books describe for us based on this tweet from christopher what it is that you're actually doing in this game. yeah hunger games is actually agree and now logy for
4:25 am
it as a culture we're familiar with the battle royale jon the kind of winner takes all format that exists in a lot different places so you have things like dodgeball march madness or basketball so i think culturally understand what it means to be the last person standing which is really unique in revolutionary about fortnight is that throws one hundred people into an environment that they all share and the last person to be standing wins there's a big ring that sits outside the world that kind of pushes people into a more and more compressed space but for you know the fellow who is feeling a little down about being lost by themselves they may want to consider playing with other people you can actually play as duos you can play with a squad so at least if it's if it's not as you getting taken out it's the rest of your crew so it's a really innovative format a really interesting twist on a very popular gaming style front with us and we played for the right. what were you thinking he's the one who. is trying to see you as
4:26 am
a pro. well i'll tell you the first time i played it is the same experience and i was in there for twenty minutes i didn't know what i was doing even though i'm a dreamer and i just decided to give up and just play on my phone which which is interesting about this game is cross-platform you can do play station x. box you name it but my claim to fame is after playing it for about a month i actually got a solo when i actually won the game on my phone which gives me a lot of street cred with some of the clients that i see but it also in playing this game with my son and getting better at it it was just very bonding experience it was very funny when this broke i started i could hear the theme music it made me feel like oh sexually walking into my house going to greenlight you kids playing and it was very familiar i like that i because it's the only area that people online are saying is what draws them to it because it's the thing that they come back to again and again so this is gene park and he says some of the appeal it's
4:27 am
free which is a big factor it's on every modern platform it being on phones was a big in a bowler and frank you just mentioned how you played on your phone jean on twitter says it enables cross-platform play the way part that way progress is always ensured no matter where you are i shall want to bring you in here with this tweeting is this different than the way other video games are played the fact that you can play it on any platform what makes it so well so cost five as who don't know it basically means that no matter what pop from your on whether that's a p.s. for on mobile or a p.c. you can play with other people i would say fortnight is actually the game that really brought this to the mainstream and sony actually caved into pressure at the end of last year to enable cost play largely because my parents were like look we want to play with our friends let us play with them on p s four and stuff and as previously mentioned it's free to play so that combined with the fact that it's cross-platform means that the barrier to entry was significantly lowered. i just
4:28 am
want to add to that is when march madness was mentioned what what's happening culturally over the i'd say the last decade or more is at least in the us and probably worldwide we don't have common experiences so when i was going to date myself but when i was growing up i was watching the love boat dukes of hazard and we'd go to school and we'd talk about particular football games because we had a limited choice in terms of what we could entertain ourselves with this is that experience all these kids young adults adults we have the shared experience now so we can go into school or go into the workplace and talk about the time we spent together and this is just one of those rare platforms where you can actually do that to me having seen all the people around the well proven scholar i have an old fat little song experiences in different parts of the walls. but the really important points about the game being able to play be played on multiple devices is
4:29 am
that every country is a little bit different and you know access to high speed internet is different in every country access to you know p.c. gaming rig for example which might be on the more expensive i had your multiple on which everybody has games like for tonight really flatten the experience for everyone around the world that are going to try it out and bought having a p.c. now and be a part of the conversation if you want to play it with other people right if you look at other forms of viral need. a beauty or a point to read ever it might be. piccata don't democrats are having trouble connecting if you need to talk about different kinds of connectivity in different parts the we will done in the meantime frank what is happening in your brain as you opponent fortnight what happens psychologically as. well as gaming you have lots of different kinds of players that and i'm going to be judged severely by all your social media and the audience but i tend to be
4:30 am
a camper which is somebody who hangs out plays but plays cautious and that's actually how i got my solo when i got it a push you can actually do this if you don't wander around the book twenty minutes frank what's that you get in the bush for twenty minutes i mean you won the game well i had to creep along because you have to stay within the eye of the storm and there was one other guy left and he was shooting bush is the triumph i have yet i managed to kill him and what so that's a very cheap way to win but that's what i love about playing with especially my son is he's a leader and he tells you where to go where to be and if it's a game that can teach leadership ship skills problem solving and it's it's really an impressive platform so when you're talking about the leadership skills i want to go to one hundred now because i'd like to know who it is that you play with we know that it's a hundred player game in the world get smaller and smaller who are you playing with right now so right now i mean the solo most some all alone in this huge humongous
4:31 am
world and to numberous myself i'm kind of doing with what the guest is that i'm not camping but i did land for the net i didn't go find smoke purposely to fight so right here i just finished loading i have four still i've picked up a bunch of merit some ready for any battle coming my way but usually when i do play i don't i don't like playing alone i have a huge group of friends that i play with we call it we call it we call what's our group game boys and whenever someone wants to get on we dismiss it's a group who's on guys and we jump on the game and we play together and that communal that community. feeling is really felt because one of my friends for example of the malaysia the other lives in doha some live in the west coast some live in chicago so it's a great place to come together to speak and i play almost i don't want to say a daily basis to seem so it's like i'd like us the t.v. exactly the same like such a huge third but i pretty much put on a daily basis and i talk to these people almost every day so they become close friends and i even invited them to my wedding so yeah you know the outside over
4:32 am
here is that we're so here's the funny part and i kind of feel but i knew a majority of them in real life so i invited those ones to my wedding but the one there's a bunch of them why i haven't met one so good friends with but i kind of felt weird inviting them to my wedding but i kind of i kind of wish i did oh that is going to kill them you know i have no idea what. really does go. so i have less of that and i'm going to let the regroup there because you talked about friends and that communal feeling we got a video comment from a former member of the stream family a former producer and host here latoya peterson she's a gamer she's also on the board of advisors for that society and she talks about that community. i'm joined peterson from washington d.c. and fortnight has become a cultural phenomenon partly because it's fun to play and it was a free to play a huge multiplayer game and one of the key secrets to success is that it was fully
4:33 am
customizable completely fix your character change your world around you had a mission but you also just hang out with your friends and so that makes for a really compelling experience in the multiplayer experience and when more people start play there are a lot of reasons to meet in the world scene we kind of starbucks the third place for his coming. and so it's overleaped other types of games like book my gosh. it's a daemon he mentions it's sort of like the new starbucks it's a place to meet it's a place to hold out when you think about. i mean i think that's true to a certain extent i mean the reality is that there's lots of things to do in fortnight so they've had some virtual concerts they're experimenting with this big concert with marshmallow that millions of people attended and there's other types of game mode so there's a minecraft like game mode inside a fortnight to build things i think you know at the end of the day it's one of many places that people will go i think in the same way that starbucks is one of many
4:34 am
different coffee shops sometimes you want this big kind of big coffee shop experience and people want to go to like their local kind of like grocery but the overall trend line is true that videogames increasingly are becoming a place where many different types of people spend time together that's one hundred percent accurate. my my a my son. is his twitch handle is vader geek as in darth vader and he is trying to be ninja the guy that makes a ton of money playing this and he's very very good at it but i was i mean i tell him i was a little skeptical and this has been become his communities he's adding followers he's interacting with them it in it's almost a game within a game a healthy way of kind of building a following and follow other people and i think it's not only just a starbucks thing but there's there's this tie into popular culture where at least
4:35 am
in the states we've got the n.f.l. so you could buy skins which is sort of the customized ability of your favorite team and i guess maybe a year or so ago maybe longer when the infinity ward came out you could play as status which was ridiculous how quickly they they blend of those two franchises and how they can kind of tie into current pop culture stuff that's outside of the game is really impressive so frank does that in a sentence does that saying to those who are new to that church which is basically it's not quite social media but it's a way of following other people with similar interests and you can stream your games so i on my phone. how we get work and my phone will go off and it says my son is now streaming video and i can then click on that link and i can watch him play and i can talk to him i can interact with them is another way of being connected in a highly digital world i see you've done so many articles for courts about full and
4:36 am
i has one of them for night reading is taking over everything. so you can studying what is. what it's blowing up that has blown up in the past yeah can you put your finger on it for our audience because if you want to miss it seem how we play you'll seeing a play again with outgassing fusing up outtake what that will some day. right so i think james and frank actually touched on a few of these things one of it is there is such a huge intersection of popular culture like the marshmallow concert on you know drake played that it's become so mainstream that there's more to connect with as opposed to this traditional gaming experience where you have to be this really experienced gamer to sort of get anywhere you can be casual drop in and out and still see all these cultural references that you can talk to your friend about i think that's definitely one of the big things and you know latoya and her question
4:37 am
earlier she talked about how for and it was so customizable and i think there's a really big parallel between not just you know a fortnight and a starbucks but fortnight and social media it's free to play but all these players are by skins you know outfits emote which are like that's live that you can do and they're almost like status symbols so it's like a going to instagram and posting your you know coolest you know outfit that's a similar appeal to fortnight i think it's a way to show like oh you're doing this or their friends are in with the latest skin or the latest weapon just kind of go off to agree with both or against this game really capitalized and learn how to work off the hype so what they do is there are seasons for example in about every two months or so there's a new season with new season comes a new version of the game a new updates and new guns and they really have people on their toes with the new things and every week they bring the drop something new they drop a new game on or they jump like they said in skins so that really also played into the big factor of why for names so there's so much hype around the game and people
4:38 am
keep coming back to it because they learned how to make sure they're not boring to keep bringing in new things one that i love that you're in the conversation but i don't want you to die so i need to do that. because of what we call me but i don't want you to die again we've got a comment on you tube right now from me who says i played fortnight both mohamed plenty of times and he's never left a man behind. the support. apart from his well. well the mayor this is a friend though was invited to the well so i want to actually bring up another you to comment we got this is from dolly and she says do you think this online game is toxic to female gamers and streaming and i should because you're covering this what's your take on that question right so gaming has a history of not being very friendly to female gamers you know sometimes they're they're marginalized players in the game and there have been history there's been a history of female players being harassed right there was
4:39 am
a spare naaman called gamer gate where female gamers were just being really violently spread and online so far that hasn't materialized so badly informed knight there have been sort of cases every now and then of young players being you know scanned on maybe there's some unruly behavior i'm worried that maybe further down the lifespan of the scam that might happen but right now fortnight is built you know for young people it's simpler goofy it's it's super fun that i don't think it says prevalent a problem yet but that's completely different i'd say to maybe the gaming industry at large which still has a long way to go in terms of diversity accessibility and being friendly to all genders and gamers. you know i read a little bit is the first i would see how to dalia she's one of my twitter followers. you know glad she could you know and but. the thing that's fascinating to me and i don't know if this is this could be

a cultural shift did least in the streets around gender because when i would play games in the ninety's you know that it was soul calibur and women were very objectified. and when you play the game you typically like i my god plays ago it for girls play she plays girl but in this game gender seems very nebulous and my son will play as somebody who is clearly a woman or a guy if somebody is a guy and that's not really ever discussed they seem more or interested in the style of the character in the skin but it i don't know if this is sort of the shift in gaming. that is are actually really positive. like for me for example i have a want to skins because unfortunately i've spent two months taiwan is a game but my coolest skins are the female characters in my opinion that's why i usually play with both amy me and you may need to. use my bad luck which is my bad
4:41 am
luck skin but it's ok i'm trying to get things that are so fragmented the positives and so then i hate to follow that up with the negative but we got a video comment that's pretty interesting and this is from nate that grayson he's a reporter at the taco in l.a. and he talks about the potential ethical dilemmas that we could run into with court and have a listen well one of his players a place to hang out and have fun it's all a game based on ashes blood sport from the horror right now we're going to put in more wins less military professions based on the battery i was on the games but it remains a label some place free version of that was it's slightly unnerving but not entirely unsurprising that most popular game among its not ruthlessly competitive hyper taboos society tells players to see everybody else not some sort of broad system as an enemy and a struggle that can have only one. so damon it's based on a fascist blood sport from a horror novel would you or will bond to nathan well i mean i think that's like
4:42 am
a fair reading and criticism of the game i guess i would argue that you know that's a criticism that can be legit levied against any kind of winner take all environments games are very good at setting up there are lots of games that feature you know you versus everybody else so i mean i think there is a good argument to be made that you know fetishizing just the idea of like winning at all costs is probably not a good thing but again i don't think that this is unique to fortnight i'd mention some other you know other things earlier dodgeball for example has a no winner take all environment king of the hill there are lots of these types of environments and games so i think it's a it's a really interesting read on it but whether or not players are actively making that connection i would argue probably not the case i said that i would add to that there's i've got a lot of articles on trying to think about video games and violence and the
4:43 am
research is pretty clear and the reason why i just tried it this way is i have parents of clients that say well i'm not going to let my kid play sport i can supply. and what i say to them is some of the games that cause kids to be the most aggressive or dangerous are driving games football games hockey because they've done that they've been in a car they've played a game so with this in their head kids have never been on a floating bus landing on an island wearing these clothes it's a kids' ability to separate themselves star wars doesn't make you violent and i think it's the ability to kind of see this is your team rather than this earlier where you know why refrains why should that happen a couple of control the scenes surrounding fortnight and then a couple of them where the audience and you can address them. back pack heat doing
4:44 am
the floss here we go. very nice and have to mention the cult of dance here we go we have the cult and dance as well explain why these two we can't control the scenes in the fortnight well it's right so but kid who is doing the fost on sunday carlton that's these are accessible in the game as in notes which are basically animations that your that your character can do and of those two people by package whose name is russell horning and. that we're barrow is carlton the fresh prince of bel-air as well as the rapper two million they've all sued fortnights developer epic games for basically stealing what they allege a feeling they're done from the first and even more interesting is in the very first of those lawsuits two million said that fortnight is explicitly appropriating the work of people of color a lot of you know eye for an african-american artist so this is start of this whole
4:45 am
debate this legal debate about can you copyright a document. and then there's another debate which is like how are video games appropriating the culture of people of color so that's been a huge dialogue people like chance the rapper have chimed in like it's really something that i think is present in the mind of people watching and playing for a minute. for me it gives you an example of how big the game is that these conversations that we're having in the real world now being started off by a video game absolutely i'm going to wrap up with. the community to see what she's up to hearing about these two comments here from you to one person pretty positively says i played many games in my life and work night has to be the most active game i've ever come across constant updates and seasons keeps people bringing people back but someone else wants us to know and he's not alone there is old news apacs is the new top dog you guys are hot behind so that's the next game

4:48 am
a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be what it is you know it's very chancy vividly particularly because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are we the people we live to tell the real story so i'll just mend it is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audiences across the globe. and owner and trainer in london the top stories on our syria north korea appears to have begun work to restore a space rocket launch site just days after talks between kim jong un and donald trump ended in fadia satellite images reveal that building is a site in the north west of the country have been rebuilt the pledge to dismantle

4:50 am
actually leading up to that my own sense is that this is sort of peek at the way donald trump treatment of a north korea are in vietnam this into the strategic and international studies says the images show rapid rebuilding at a site partly dismantled last year when p.r. nyang entered talks with the u.s. and south korea every year if you're ready to leave your eyes it's not immediately clear though how the satellite images could have fixed the fragile nuclear diplomacy. that japan has its eyes fixed on north korea's nuclear missile development have been gathering and analyzing information i will refrain from commenting in detail due to the nature of the matter. how much you know would you change under the current situation we hope that all related parties can take the right approach to resolving the korean peninsula issue through political dialogue and by meeting each other halfway trumps national security advisor john bolton has a rating warns north korea it must be willing to completely give up its nuclear
