the 2nd referendum would overturn briggs's particularly if the leave a vote could be split between boris johnson's deal and go to you why you hear what i'm french so we asked would i be you know i lived here 50 years where does raise my children not paid my taxes i do voluntary work and i'm treated like a 2nd class citizen for a deal but it's been a wreck the economy and the future of my children we have screwed up big. butts m.p.'s didn't reject boris johnson's deal and they haven't given the country a 2nd referendum. all they have done is pass an amendment which requires boris johnson to request a break sit deadline extension of 3 months 5 days to the right $320.00 to the news to the left $360.00 so the allies have it the ayes have it on the out. and he breaks it demonstrates his it's taking this is a path to victory even if they fear they are losing the war. while the many

thousands of people who have marched in london on saturday know the what paul a man has just done does not stop rex's but what it does crucially is get them more time and more time means a better chance still a slim on those so they can achieve their aim a 2nd referendum chalons al-jazeera london. lebanon's government says it's a great budget that councils a series of taxes and fees which have spawn days of protests. thousands of gathered for a 3rd day in lebanon's capital demanding a revolution angry at a political elite they blame for pushing the country to the brink of economic collapse on friday by mrs saad hariri gave the government 72 hours to find a solution at least 2 people have been killed in. demonstrations so far but let's

go live to stephanie decker who is in beirut and sot me that the government backtracking on these taxes hasn't done anything to deter the protest as what's the mood like where you. look at just saying what the mood is like and. it's the most people that we've seen come out on the streets in the last 3 days some people are talking about the thousands i have no way of confirming this number is certainly the streets are all the way from here down to march in the square throughout and also other areas of that at all and it's a very true feel. the party like. that you're seeing that was about the music being played earlier people are singing they're chanting they're insulting the politician they're singing the lebanese national on the they're calling her residence and they're saying that their leaders are thieves the bottom line is this maryam you mentioned there you touched on it they are sick and tired they say corrupt

politicians up and that is. that of this country for decades those that they say have fired their pockets with millions and billions of dollars of couse where is the life for that and this really does cut across the sectarian lines for the call to be sure. they say they are united as a people and that the economic situation as they called it incredibly difficult so they're going to. force this in the symbolic because it's right at the foot of the seat of government you see the army there and the police have it a few skirmishes but so far nothing. gale that weeks that we saw last night when this area a lot of tear gas being used water cannons to day no movement from the police and from the military peaceful protesters certainly very very large crowds here.

yeah we're definitely getting a sense of the atmosphere there stephanie people are determined and we know that they oppose government austerity measures beyond that of the united it what it is they want to achieve by turning out on the streets like this. it's got to be. the government.

there because they had to. i personally all the countries not to come to the rescue it's really frustrated that they said well hold on the 2nd where's that money. what is the very dire situation this is. now. but it has. to wait and see whether this is going to change it. change the political.

religious. right. now it's very difficult. very hard like got rich. no. change on the ground it definitely does seem to be a very jubilant atmosphere of protest is calling for change and protesting against and against and austerity measures that but nonetheless they have continued to take to the streets now well into a 3rd night thank you very much stephanie deca in beirut. well we have more still ahead for you on the program a truce largely holds in northern syria that turkey's president wants he'll attack kurdish forces again if they don't withdraw. and mozambique's opposition rejects the results of tuesday's election pushing a fragile peace deal at risk. hello

there was still of an east west base across much of europe the eastern half is where we've got the sunny skies on the still nice weather out towards the west it is a very different story lots of clouds and some rain and the same time some very strong winds but the winds are a benefit to some days it is taken down a new key on the coast. has really enjoying these strong winds over sea creating some pretty good ways as you can see even though he wanted his to have a come off his surfboard there but there's certainly more wind in the forecast as through sunday we've got most to kiss guys across much of the u.k. and the rain is actually by then sweeping across much of mainland europe into northern france and down across into northern spain and portugal and again we'll see more rain here just working its way towards the northwest of italy but look at these guys farther to the east on feeling very nice 24 in bucharest 25 celsius in

athens warming up in athens as we go through monday and those good sunny skies still staying relatively clear across the. eastern turkey and then this is a situation monday across much of the west of the mediterranean some strong rain and also the potential for some thunderstorms but not just there because that rain as you might expect it will work its way 1st of all on sunday across areas of libya and then pushing across into the northwest as we head through monday. just to. make. sure for. the middle east oceania. to a strategic retreat literally. becoming truths makes the state of the border because it splits. the sort of the shortest sleep going to the.

east the. late it's going to go. welcome back a quick look at the headlines this hour now the e.u. is saying u.k. prime minister barres johnson has confirmed that he will send a letter asking for an extension of the october 31st breck's it deadline face off to m.p.'s voted to delay backing johnson's new deal effectively forcing the prime minister to follow if we simply roll that makes him request that extension. thousands of people are out for a 3rd day now a 3rd night in lebanese capital beirut demanding a revolution has been widespread anger of the political elite and their failure to

improve the country's faltering economy. well now talkies president has vowed to press on with his offensive in northern syria and crush the heads of kurdish forces if they don't withdraw from a proposed safe so the truce is largely holding despite both kurdish forces and turkey fusing each other of violations under a deal brokered with the us kodesh fighters have to leave an area $32.00 can on which is deep in syria where turkey wants to establish its so-called safe side but russia says he will resume the offensive if the fighters don't withdraw by chuse day evening. he also said he'll discuss syria with his russian counterpart vladimir putin next week. well hundreds of villages have attended funerals in eastern afghanistan for the victims of friday's deadly mosque tag at least 66 people were killed during president last injured dari a spokesman for the governor of the province said 36 people were also wounded no one has claimed responsibility for the attack but both the taliban and i still are

active in eastern afghanistan especially in one go home province. meanwhile afghanistan's independent election commission says the results of the presidential election can't be announced 2 to technical issues afghan voters went to the polls on september 28th a commission says the saturday deadline was impossible to meet because of problems transferring the information securely and they also apologized for the delay now to mozambique the main opposition party renamo has rejected the parliamentary results of choose day's general election they're a show the ruling for lemo party heading for a major victory but european union observers are raising concerns about the vote after reports of ballot stuffing at some polling stations it was also violence during campaigning including the murder of an observer and a renowned official and her husband though those who. wrote. 'd under the bill will. note. these kind of looks

or clashes have broken out once again in chile's capital santiago despite a state of emergency declared in response to ongoing protests against the rising price of commuter commuter train tickets a rapid transit metro system has now been shut down after attacks on stations over the past week and a half about us reports. purchase that started over a rise in metro fears have provoked a state of emergency in santiago. student started the action 11 days ago angry about a 4 percent increase in ticket prices the found an audience and chileans frustrated with the rising cost of living money well it's good that young people are coming out to protest because they raise the fares but rather than raising salaries the government is raising fares was the government playing to the fare rise on rising oil prices in a week of pay so the. protesters don't buy that and say the protest is

a ticket to wider concerns about the economy and when the students come in and once they're protesting in a way that many of us who work cannot so in some ways they can represent us. but it's becoming increasingly violent on friday protestors forced the metro to shut entirely the city estimates protesters have cost $700000.00 worth of damage more than $200.00 incidents. mobs have been caught on street cameras descending on metro stations commuters have dodged tear gas and water cannon as police and protesters confront each other the electrical company a mill sit a group of people sit it's high rise building on fire the blaze could be seen across the city but the protests have gone on a long time at 1st it was tolerable but unfortunately now it's grown to. at least 130 arrests have been made the state of emergency gives the government extra powers to restrict public gatherings for 2 weeks soldiers are being deployed to support my

place. the government is also trying to downplay the situation something only one of those who argue that look at all of the you know there are $3000000.00 daily metro users our estimates of the biggest event today is that it may reach more than 150 protesters at any time you know was i mean it's south america's largest metro. system is not shut down from a ticket increase protest tapped into deep discontent about chile's economy. protesters have been out of the spanish city of basra lonna for the 6th consecutive day angered by the jailing of catalan separatists leaders on sedition charges over a failed independence bed each day of protest has descended into violent clashes with police nearly 200 people were injured on friday night spain's acting prime minister pedro sanchez has dismissed a call for dialogue from catalonia as regional chief sanchez says kim torah must

1st condemn the separatist on rest that is boiling awesome lonna canal speak to charlie angelo who's in barcelona in the streets around you look somewhat empty tell us what's been happening in the past few hours. well yes people are now seem to be heading home the mood has been very peaceful but earlier here outside the supreme court there was about 6000 people in a very heavy police presence you can probably see a couple of blue lights flashing there but there was no confrontations with the authorities nothing like the clashes that we've seen in previous nights the people who were shouting long live catalonia and holding banners that said the fight continues and that relates to those sentences given to the cattle and independents who does but they also had a new cool tonight they were very very anxious about the police repression that they had seen the night before and they were calling for the resignation of the regional interior minister 152 protesters were injured 19 critically sorry

19 in hospital 3 of them critically and a 101 police received minor injuries and the people that i have spoken to his some professionals some retired couple say that while independence for catalonia is still their main aim police repression is now a big worry for them they see this response from the police of rubber bullets tear gas and water cannons is totally disproportionate to the protesters demands and they see it as a novel form of control by the spanish state but as i said tonight has been very peaceful compared to the night before and charlie politicians on both sides seem to be digging their heels in any any room for maneuver. those images of violence precisely the kind of images that the catalan leaders do not want to see they say that this demonstration this movement is one that unites people and is a peaceful one and seeing pictures of fires and stone throwing the streets of

boston is not what they want the president came to or has reached out to spain's acting prime minister pederasts antigens he's calling for the central government to sit down and hold talks and find an end to this crisis but those calls have been rejected by the prime minister who refused to take a call from kim torah or today he's saying he won't speak to him until 2 or condemns the violence that we've seen in previous days but the people here say this is just not good enough they are demanding international mediation and that cool which they have repeated again and again is sit down and talk sit down and talk from barcelona with the latest challenge and i thank you very much and just one of the stories to bring you tens of thousands of supporters of italy's right we know position parties also in protests over there against the new government formed last month but leader of the far right league party addressed crowds gathered in the

capital rome. parsee was part of the former ruling coalition until he pulled out in a failed bid to trigger an election instead his former coalition partner the 5 star movement formed a new alliance to stay in power forcing the league into position over following all these stories tonight and of course there's more in our website al-jazeera dot com breaks it is our top story there we're going to bring you more on that a couple of seconds but also plenty of protests taking place with covering those protests in barcelona in chile also in lebanon. so our top story this hour the e.u. is saying u.k. prime minister boris johnson has confirmed that he will send a letter asking for an extension to the october 31st breck's it deadline this after m.p.'s voted to delay backing johnson's new banks that deal effectively forcing the

prime minister to follow a recent law that makes him request that extension european council president onil turk says he will start consulting the e.u. leaders but it might take a few days earlier johnson said he would attempt to get parliament to vote on his deal again on monday. well lebanon's government says it's agreed on a new budget that councils a series of taxes and fees which have sparked days of protests. but it hasn't stopped thousands of people gathering for a 3rd day of protests in lebanon's capital demanding revolution they are angry with the political elite and they blamed the government for pushing the country to the brink of economic collapse on friday promise aside hariri gave the government 72 hours to find a solution to this at least 2 people have been killed in the demonstrations so far stephanie decker has more. if the most people that we've seen come out on the street in the last 3 days some people are talking hundreds of thousands i have no

way of confirming this number but certainly the streets are blocked all the way from here down to mark the square throughout and also it other areas that are it's a very true feel. to party like. you just got the spot the music being played earlier and people are singing they're chanting they're insulting the politicians they're singing the lebanese they're still at the airport in the residence or they're saying that their leader are thieves. and turkey's president has vowed to press on with his offensive in northern syria and crush the heads of kurdish forces they don't withdraw from a proposed state so the truce is largely holding despite both kurdish forces and turkey accusing each other of violations under a deal brokered with the us kodesh fighters have to leave an area 32 kilometers deep into syria where turkey wants to establish its safe side but worship type one says he will resume the offensive if the fighters don't withdraw i choose day

evening that brings you up to date with our headlines this hour there will be more news later on in about 25 minutes time i'll see then after the listening post which starts now. syrian border where turkish military action that's now a. couple things that i. was surprised they stress are serious kurds. replied. hello i'm richard gilbert and you're at the listening post here are some of the stories that we're covering this week turkey launches a military offensive against kurds in syria. and

a media offensive designed to justify it 2 years after the birth of the me too movement the stories keep coming in the u.s. the suits at n.b.c. news have a lot of explaining to the media and the troubling depiction of skin color black face is a racist entertainment device still used across the middle east and in india dark faces are few and far between on the air or on the silver screen in the. cease fire or no cease fire turkey's decision to change the military equation in syria to send fresh troops in to take on kurdish forces there just as the kurds american allies and protectors pull out is a geo political game changer but it's an extraordinarily complex story for journalists to unpick the talk in the western media outlets like n.b.c. your own news the washington post has been of americans double crossing the kurds kurdish fears of a possible ethnic cleansing even

a looming genocide the narrative that the heir to one government in on correct has tried to get out there that kurdish forces on its southern border pose a mortal threat has been. last on the western commentary president air towards messaging is far better received at home thanks in large part to domestic media outlets that learned long ago they criticize this government at their own peril even reporting or posting on this story online can be dangerous dozens of turks have been arrested for doing just that our starting point this week is the turkish syrian border. throughout syria's civil war the country's borders have not changed but the demographics within those borders have drastically. when the war began in 2011 serious kurdish minority was spread in pockets along the border with turkey over the 8 and

a half years of fighting kurdish militias have gradually taken control of almost 400 kilometers of territory along that border the turkish government now looks at its southern front and sees potential enemies at the gates what it calls a terror block at its border it says it wants to turn that area 'd into a safe so a place refugees currently in turkey can relocate to in syria the turkish offensive has a lot to do specifically with turkey's policy regarding this one kurdish group known as people's protection units that's also known as y p g a y p g is an offshoot of another kurdish group that is known as the p.k. k p k k is a designated terror entity theater as such not just by turkey but united states and all other nato allies so this was in turkey is attempt. to go after this group that do not just settle on supporters but many turks view as a sworn enemy of turkey starting from 2014 the syrian kurdish forces and

marched on a project off establishing an autonomous kurdish region and for. the turkish point of view there is the 1st step to establishing security state along turkey's border which is very frightening to turkey so in the turkish mind western media coverage of turkey's military incursion which is largely a pro kurdish is just delayed this indication that the western world does not understand turkey's security concerns. we conducted 4 interviews on the narratives driving the coverage of this story with turkish academics based in washington both are frequent critics of the early one government although one of them says the incursion into syria is justifiable we also spoke with an iranian american journalist working out of this town for a british newspaper and a journalist academic and iraqi kurd now based in pennsylvania. the turkish

government has really had a very monumental task crafting a narrative that would be convincing to the world public opinion and also to the international sort of power circles the narrative is really focused on fighting terrorism we said we would never allow a terror corot door to form on our border the other element of this narrative is really centered on the refugee crisis governments are really worried about a major influx of syrian refugees into europe are you prepared for what might in fact be a massacre a senior presidential aide. was on c.n.n. explaining why it is necessary for turkey to launch this intrusion this is not an operation against syrian kurds. equal to the which is the terrorist organization

but she was still not as effective as the turkish government wish because this is a part of a larger problem and that problem. this present i had on lost his credibility and the rising tour in the image and international media is making things even harder well you know the kurds are they're good fighters they're great people and they have a lot of pride for their land where they are they are seen as freedom fighters in the western media so i think it's making it very difficult for the turkish government to convince the international community that this is a just war the thing is northeast syria was mostly stable until a couple weeks ago yeah there was a little bit of trouble there some questions about the administration of northeast syria but it wasn't like an imminent crisis and when you start a war like that it becomes a sort of a war of choice and so i think the turks are discovering what the israelis discover

every time they make an incursion into gaza or 11 on when you launch a full scale operation like this and there's no imminent dire threat you're the burden of kind of explaining it to the world is on you and not the people that you're a war with. in its dealings with the international media the heir to one government is also dealing with a case of journalistic blowback. according to the new york based committee to protect journalists turkey has jailed more media workers than any country on the planet a failed coup 4 years ago accelerated a crackdown on journalism that was already well underway the online space offers no real refuge dozens of turks have been arrested for posting criticisms of this military operation.

and the turkish government that has treated its own journalists unjustly says it is now failing to get a fair hearing from international media outlets. but are suspicious of just about anything on correct says or does. the biggest challenge for turkey is that because the limitations inside the country and freedom of expression and freedom of media are so severe outside observers often dismiss any story that comes out turkey as spin as unreliable as fabricated by the government turkish correspondents when they're on air whenever they refer to the p.k. k. or the y p g they have to refer to as a terrorist organization. not just on the 1st reference not just on the 2nd reference. but on every single reference. it's almost soviet in that respect the turks the turkish media outlets are very good at covering civilian casualties and suffering turkish side in these counterattacks they don't

seem to be interested or are able to report at all on the suffering of civilians on the other side doesn't seem like any of that is allowed into the broadcast media. then there's the online misinformation factor it is a fact checking site based in istanbul among the posts it has exposed this fake this past week a video allegedly showing kurds killed in turkish airstrikes but was actually shot in egypt 2 years ago this video of missile attacks again allegedly by turkish forces shot in siberia in 2010. this military offensive is barely a week old and the truth is already amongst the casualties between the restrictions on turkish media crackdown on criticism online the broad brush approach of the international media regional news outlets at odds with each other not to mention

the age old fog of war what chance do audiences really have of understanding this story. given the fast pace of developments on the ground the western media jumps on stories and if you do footage is without a properly vetting them recently there was an incident with the a.b.c. news which ran a story this video obtained by a.b.c. . about a turkish assault on on the kurds using a video footage which turned out to have been shot in the united states last year and the leg off credible coverage by international media which is making it even more difficult for the people who are trying to understand what is going on on the ground the syrian situation has been a very complicated a story it's not very easy to get it right but when it comes to the political actors the coverage has not been really event but i think the the focus on the

civilian aspect is really what costs here is it's about telling the stories of those human beings on the ground and what is happening to them the more aired on cracks on on media the more turkey loses the narrative we have to be honest about this and that is because do people look at turkey as a cold and cold autocratic regime and therefore de dismiss any information coming out of turkey spin and propaganda so if turkey wants to regain their narrative regarding the p.k. k. and the broader kurdish issue it is in turkey's interests to have a free and flourishing media. we're discussing other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers flow folks flow this past week we saw one of those rare spectacles in the media a journalist on the air calling out his network's own bosses the story happen in

the u.s. and it was related to the harvey weinstein meet to movement walk us through it that's right richard so chris hay is the host of a current affairs show. on m.s.n. b.c. that's a cable network owned by n.b.c. universal and its n.b.c. and some of its executives in particular but hayes has a bone to pick with the insidious destructive force of the path of least resistance is everywhere you look back i feel the target myself as my own news organization is embroiled in a very public controversy over its conduct now hayes was talking about the allegations made in a new book by firing you remember that far as the journalists that have the story of hollywood producer harvey weinstein sexually assaulting and exploiting numerous women but the story was actually 1st published in the new york times because fire is bosses at n.b.c. refused to go with his version now for i did end up getting his workout in the new yorker magazine and the me too movement was born in fire is new book titled catch

and kill lies spies and a conspiracy to protect predators he says that his former bosses at n.b.c. ordered him to halt his weinstein reporting because they were intimidated by weinstein's power and specifically because weinstein himself had threatened to expose sexual assault allegations against one of n.b.c.'s own high profile presenters allow. when those allegations against lauer did eventually come out and 2017 n.b.c. followed him but according to fire they've been working to cover up the alleged assaults by both lauer and weinstein his has again there as you he was unable to break through what was effectively a conspiracy of silence from n.b.c. news management time and again the path of least resistance for those with power within our cross weinstein or his army or friends and lawyers so what's n.b.c. news is response to all of this been the president of n.b.c. news no oppenheim send employees a memo describing far as allegations a conspiracy theory affairs but contained another bombshell sexual harassment

allegations against the company's chairman andrew slack who denies he did anything wrong and lack as the head of the news division just happens to be in a position to decide whether chris hayes will pay a price for reporting on the story on m.s.m. b c's at ok thanks for. turning now to a practice a problematic anachronistic one that keeps cropping up in modern media black face white or light skinned people caricaturing those of african descent by darkening their faces with the actual makeup it's a supposedly entertainment device from a bygone era and while across much of the western world it no longer features in mainstream art or entertainment in the middle east you don't have to go back in time to find this stuff blackface and caricature depictions of black people still go out on the air and in most cases they are not even seen as offensive particularly in egypt which is home to a sizable newbie and minority black objections who originated from the southern end

of the country or from northern sudan the listening posts are now on the persisting troubling use of blackface and the stain that leaves on media outlets in the arab world. and it is crude and you have a still image baggage going to be had been negative it is offensive when they take that message. be and it's ugly. in the arab world racist depictions of black people are rampant in this and i think in the law. and the use of blackface is right. black people are routinely come into subservience playing servants prostitutes. straight up object of

ridicule. and them at that oh mother who have these sort of when we watch t.v. shows or movies black people are always in pheidias and black faces an inferior negative and racist concept which should not belong in the arab world we almost never speak about this. segment of out of society black people firstly because they never get to speak in public spaces the black person is a citizen in the arab world but an invisible citizen why because power made him invisible oh easy be easy the arab world is entirely self-righteous we would never admit that we racist lebanese would never admit the races that maybe as they would never admit the races in people from so then they would never admit that the us is in against their own black people and so it was only through your like creating the explosive maybe. once or realizing ok something. really awful going

on here. blackface is a practice rooted in the 19th century united states white actors black i'm asking to mimic in flavor africans on southern plantations creating a stereotype of lazy ignorant black people how black face and the arab mainstream is not certain british colonisers a thought turk brought it to egypt in the 880 s. be it in the middle east or in the west blackface is rooted in flavor and racism reinforcing a toxic notion that blackness is a best a joke. from western politicians to media personalities i mean truly follicle correctness has gone amuck to even a jumper designed by gucci black face scandal of all over the news social norms have moved slowly by comparison in the middle east things are changing however take

the case of shame out say a star on the arab world's most widely watched media network n.b.c. a skit she performed earlier this year caused a storm online shame a safe is sitting in a front of her land and she's speaking just it's not comprehensible arabic it's not cancer principle any. thing. this awful overly sexualized nonsense dialect that is an attempt i think to represent the sudanese dialect and it's very offensive in the other video there is shame with a proportionally her little boy. who constantly has to go to the bathroom and she has him urinate in a jar and when he does so people are horrified. i cannot imagine a woman wiping the urine off of her hands on to other passengers it just wouldn't

happen so this idea that the sudanese are unclearly and they don't care and that they have no hygiene is also quite racist i'm not sure that we do them on these which i saw the video and i don't have a problem with it to be honest art uses these things this doesn't mean people shouldn't be bothered by it but as long as the intent behind it isn't to offend then it's ok directors producers and actors use blackface to entertain audiences but that's because society already disregards these people so in the eyes of the director or producer they look at what makes people laugh and what they respond to and they use it they're not concerned with improving public taste they just want to make money fast and how do they make quick money by making people laugh. i mean it's the bullshit that. underpinning this racist form of comedy is the deep social media denial of

a history of slavery between the 7th the 19th century arbitrated has captured millions of african slaves and shipped them all to the continent. slavery was not formally abolished in the arab gulf countries until 970 many contend the modern form of slavery still exists there today. the arabic word for slave object is commonly used as a racial slur. the middle east history of slavery the casual racism particularly against. people from the south of egypt and the depictions of black arabs on screen interwoven but as many arabs often say the context is different if it really fair it's a compare slavery and blackface with their western counterparts. i am sure that when people object to the idea that blackface is offensive in the middle east they're saying we're not talking about the american south we're not talking

about plantation slavery we're not talking about the same kind of abuses or the same scale that happened in the southern united states. however the slave trade in the middle east was huge and the cultural impact of this slave trade has everything to do with black face in the middle east nobody has ever discussed any of that and nobody has ever acknowledged this very dark and shameful history so like we keep shaming americans and the europeans for when they really do like i think racist but at least. somewhat common terms with their dark history. they're trying to confront it and face it head on where is there is no acknowledgement whatsoever of. shameful. of what happened to africans. entries. just on commentary defense of black face and our media that goes

something like this. is totally harm. the holes in the argument are too numerous to list only for the black people in on the joke not even represented on the screen and the mis representation of black people as a consequence of screen in the real world. i'm largely black that we are lost to the inequity in the arab world we have a range of skin colors from black to very pale white. our preference is arabs which align with the standards around the world is that the whiter someone is the more attractive they are i have personally received a lot of comments like the night has come early or i get called she karbala she is a black footballer and i shouldn't be offended but the name is used in a derogatory manner to offend me there are lots of sexual remarks related to black stereotypes people have pulled my hair spit on me and thrown things at me people

talk about me as though i don't understand arabic as though i don't know they are commenting about me to be our new people because of the amendment. and mainstream media no i do not see a conscious decision or like a conscious measure that has been implemented to change the perception of blacks and i do not remember seeing an african character being even in there for a role in any. mainstream t.v. film i think that is very because any culture acknowledge its minorities and how small the or and i think it also stems from the fact that we have more writers we almost have more critics who actually continue with these issues so what. the black person's image in the media and in the arab world psyche won't change for the better as long as black people themselves keep being silent and nothing will change

because the people who create these images are the ones who are in power leaving the black people on the sidelines i see that the black my needs. fully participate in the change like what's happening in the united states when the black community realized they were under represented in white t.v. they made their own child the impost change on society which is far from being the case in the arab world in the arab world this image may never change as long as i don't people's mindsets and perceptions of black people don't change. finally another place where having a dark complection can work against you is india for a country with such a racial mix the media the talking heads on all those in the news channels the models and the ad campaigns the actors on television and the big screen are disproportionately lighter skinned. this past week unesco launched and india's got color campaign it rolled out

a music video created by an actor director named nandita das a woman who's made it in bollywood despite the color of her skin this video features musicians as well as actors representing diverse shades of indian skin color some of whom would not normally get this kind of exposure or air time on any screen we'll see you next hour here at the listening post. need a. good. job. maybe a minute and a. gun
