who may be called and of course it could be their story in that sense however there are question marks across the country that the country's political leadership requests got elected and jane was given on health and allowed to leave the country so some people may be questioning. again some band was already in critical condition outside the country so for the most part this will be seen more as a 7 balik thing like one which will set the precedent for future light of action by the government. and kimo in terms of the reaction so far in pakistan how have people been taking this news in. in the budget county public. they need to wait days if you want to have

a violent reaction people are going to come out on the streets or anything like before to really not be happy about days because they see and they have seen and then that. the world or grady. having gained time. on got taken down to leave the country where that now is the. controversial need to be in critically and in the bed and thereby trick be sentenced to death so they symbolic makes the action across the country project will also bring the country vishy great challenged sometimes becomes quite gone through i'm sure and as far as its decision 2nd son. ok kimo harder than my friends on the phone and islamabad thank you for that update let's turn to other news now students from a new delhi university have been told on india's supreme courts to take their accusations of police brutality to a lower courts they say officers launched

a cracked enjoying their protest against a new citizenship law well on monday the chief minister of west bengal also demonstrated mamata banerjee and 4 other think indian saying they won't implement the law this law office minorities in neighboring countries indian citizenship but it excludes muslims also here raman joins us now from germany at media islamia university where there has been still some tension after monday night's violence at source and dramatic scenes from the protests over the past few days how is it looking where you are today. where we are in fact outside the university here hala for the last few hours students have been gathering in very large numbers demonstrating outside gate of the savard many of them are taking their problem cells to marshal the traffic so to traffic jams and excuse the authorities to come anywhere near the area it has to be said there is

a complete absence of the security services say there are no police anywhere near the university here or choose to perhaps they know that it's such a sensitive scenario to lay with regards to the university like keeping their distance another reason 3rd obviously is the high court. sorry the supreme court a 3 month bench chaired by the suit 3 the chief justice of india is actually hearing petitions made by civil society and by senior lawyers over the violence that just university area saw on sunday joining me now is behind the trees what is a student here in the area and you were here on sunday just just talk about the 2 that we are experiencing no it's very different. on sunday sunday 2 different the mood is very simple it's a mixture of anger and as he has and happiness anger against the government against unlawful act when undemocratic act and enthusiasm as you can hear the voices of the

students it's very enthusiastic they're tending when they might come they're tending a lot and that by the day and the things that we have with the constitution and have been is that the auto india everyone is supporting us everyone who's supporting our place the environment though did go very dark on sunday you were here where the whole way you might say horribly wrong what actually happened just as you're concerned actually the thing is a simple it was hijacked by the local politicians the open leaders and in local people it was of a simple protest as i said that the mood with a simple it was anger enthusiasm and happiness but then there was some in 52 and then good protests and then they marched toward the police and everything happened because of them there was no involvement of the students because that happened on sunday there was no involvement of the students of course and that's not trying to be clarified in the supreme court as we know in terms of all the way the students are protesting now not just here in south delhi but across studied across the country how long do you think this protest is going to go on when i believe to be

a protesting for a cause that we are protesting against those who are against our constitution i democratic rights are fundamental rights we are protesting against those unless the government will work to take the bill back we are going to protest as long as they're going to follow this bill because it does and constitution the number of prejudice against up on the internet so we have been a purpose for the long run and of course we will of course follow what the students are doing here but there's one thanks very much and of course you know this is a scene that is being replicated across the country and well so what we have you with is key just talk us through the developments with the court system that we've seen in the terms to in terms of any appeals to the slow because it remains incredibly controversial. it is incredibly controversial and i think a in terms of how the demonstrations are evolving around the country it's also affecting how the supreme court the supreme court justice justice they're actually

stated in one of the many you might say cations that we've been hearing about at the moment that he's basically saying there's so much controversy not just about the law but about the demonstrations about the cia about the national register of citizens that it will be up to each respective high courts in each respective state to deal with complaints either about the act of the cia or the violence that's been observed in those respective states so as far as they're concerned at the moment he's passing the ball back to the chief ministers in those states and to the judges in those states to basically say you need to get your own houses in order and then if you have a problem with the law you then come to the courts to try and sort it out that's where we are at the moment i mean what we're also hearing within the last few minutes that we're in south delhi but in north easterly we're also hearing that the security forces have fired on crowds using tear gas to disperse and there are

various protests across the country hala and in various levels sort of peaceful and noisy boisterous like they are here behind me john the university sun a little bit more angry a little bit more aggressive we're expecting large demonstrations in west bengal on tuesday and wednesday headed by the chief minister month abana g we're also looking forward to a much larger demonstration that's been announced in maharastra and in the state capital by on the 19th of december. fluid situation indeed we'll keep checking in with you so help but for now i am reporting live from new delhi thank you very much in seeds there is a lot smaller still to come on this news hour including the crisis deepens in boeing production on. the 737 max planes is suspended it's common to fatal crashes plus. why china and russia are calling for an end to some un sanctions on

north korea. a french transport workers are staging demonstrations nationwide for the 13th day against government plans to reform pensions transports and flights are being disrupted and that could continue through the christmas holidays now the government says promising a fairer pension system but the official behind the plans to set the quits over a scandal involve an undeclared income let's get the latest note from the sasha butler she is live for us in paris sasha this will be the 13th day of the strike where are we in this confrontation between the government and the strikers. let me just give you a bit of a picture of the situation if you look behind me could probably see there is a bus behind me but i'm at a bus terminal and it would usually be

a lot more busy than this there would be far more people far more buses but of course because of this transport strike many of the bus services have been cut at the same picture for trains and trams and it's been like that the nearly 2 weeks now as the protest continues against the government's plans to reform the pension system now what the transport workers are saying is that they may continue their action into next week i mean that's the christmas holidays for most people here people will be trying to get around so it's going to cause even more disruption there's no doubt though that over these past 2 weeks people have been getting used to the situation they're using bikes in the city the city of paris the mayor has actually said that twice as many people using bikes than usually but of course it is becoming quite difficult for many people indeed nevertheless the trade unions of called for a nationwide strike today so that means other sectors joining in with the transport workers and what we're going to see a little bit later are several marches and protests across several cities in france

as this action continues. as if this were frustrating and off for commuters around paris with christmas coming up just around the corner there are people reacting to this and the prospects of even more disruption to for the busy festive season. well the opinion poll suggests that the majority of french people actually support the strikes even though the majority also support the fact that the government does need to make some changes it's really down to the details people feel that all the pension system does need to be changed modernize that's what the government says they are unhappy with some of the details most particularly they're unhappy with the fact that the government wants people to work 2 years longer than they do now in order to be able to have their full pension so that means instead of $62.00 they can retire at $62.00 on

a full pension now it would take them to 64 and that's something quite controversial in france because they feel that the government had promised not to touch the age of full pension retirement nevertheless what the government is saying is that they say that no matter war they don't want to have to start off with the trade unions they don't want to get into the situation in which the disruption continues the government says that it won't back down but it really does look as if what we have is exactly that a standoff situations the trade unions are saying they can go to continue with the strikes the government is saying they need to forge ahead they need to modernize this pension system because they say it's an equal it's not fair they say that it's costing too much public money and the needs to really aligned itself with all the european countries ok natasha going to him for the moment thank you very much. reporting live. from paris. well let's take a look at some of that detail that we heard from that sasha take a deep dive and see the reformed sea france's pension programs the current regime

has 42 different schemes for workers depending on their profession now the plan is to merge these into one universal points based system the legal retirement age is $62.00 that many people with special status such as will be workers are able to retire much sooner in some cases from the age of 55 but under the new proposals all workers would need to stay on the job until the age of 64 before getting a full pension in france as government wants to introduce its 1st ever so-called minimum pension it will be set at just over one fison dollars a month well for more on this we can speak with a journalist and commentator pierre has scheme is in paris foras good to have you with us on the news hour and if we look at france itself the unions there they've never met a change to the system that they like so what's so objectionable about these plans

why is it causing so much uproar. well 1st of all i think the trust between the government and the social movement in general is very low. when you're mccall you will remember as had a tough year with the yellow vests. and this characterized the mood of the country that mccoy's sheen by many people in the country as the president of the rich to use a catch phrase and so when he wants to reform the pension system people's immediate reaction is oh we're going to lose something this government is not going to do a reform that is going to benefit everyone it's going to privilege some so this question of trust is is really at the core of the movement and the president because mistake in this movement has been to unify by some of the proposals

the radical wing of the unions and the reformist wing everybody had thought that the reformists would go ahead with the reform which with the weakened the resistance the reform and at the moment they're going to be together in today's demonstrations but if you look at the actual reforms themselves me many of our international viewers will be watching this thinking how on earth are the french able to retire at 55 they're now every tarmon sagely pushed up to 64 still seems incredibly incredibly generous i mean confronts afford this extremely generous social security system and why are the with their unions not able to look past their personal animus with the current french president and look at the the wealth of the nation on the whole. well you know france is a country of very strong social rose social movements and people have

a lot of reluctance to give up on anything that they have acquired in the past so that the reasonable ring of the social movement recognizes that the reform is needed but their project to this unified age for everybody to retire they argue is that some jobs are more pain 4 or more difficult than others and that the retirement age should not be the same for everybody this is probably going to be the point on which they go stations will take place the prime minister is meeting the unions tomorrow and it's the last chance to avoid a continued conflict into the holiday season and just quickly if you would say add before we leave you a p.r. ask you what would you say the solution is because neither side looks willing to compromise stage i think it will be some reform of this age that is a political to everyone in the government proposals they will have to be some

concessions on this front to have their reformist genyen to back its ok passkey their life and said paris thank you very much indeed for your thoughts. now human rights watch is accusing israel of using sweeping military orders to criminalize nonviolent political activity by palestinians in the occupied west bank and says in the reports that the orders are being used to shut down media outlets political organizations and jail activists and rights organization calls the orchestra khun ian and says the time has come for israel to grant palestinians the same basic civil rights as israeli citizens will miss ashton aims life 1st finds east jerusalem that's what he tell us about this report what's that about. hello this human rights watch report it does not highlight anything new rather it

puts under the microscope the use of orders that the military has been using against the palestinians since it occupied the west bank in particular in 1967 human rights watch says it's been 52 years of some systematic repression of palestinian civil liberties what is new with this report according to human rights watch is that it is now demanding that the israeli government grant palestinians in the west bank specifically the same rights that it grants israeli citizens bear in mind that because the palestinians are living under occupation we are not talking about civil laws here we are talking about the use of the military and military orders to deal with the palestinians and human rights watch is looking at orders that they say have targeted activists protestors non-governmental

organizations and as a result have often shut down media outlets and imprisoned activists and. certain non-governmental organizations we spoke to an activist. longtime activists and he tells us that since 2005 he has been arrested 8 times he has spent more than a year in prison he describes his treatment by the israeli military as quote violent and inhumane he says that each of his arrests were tied to protests that he had organized in his village and nearby villages and he says that anywhere else in the world i would have been allowed to protest peacefully and this would not be an issue typically the military does not respond to these types of reports but we did speak to a journalist and an author of a book that was published recently it delves into these very issues the journalist

author's name is you know not bob and bob told us that israel like many countries in the world is trying to balance preserving its national security with human rights he says that like other countries it's specifically being faced with the challenge of how to address social media platforms being used to incite violence but he does say that there have been reforms made within the military courts since 2005 that there have been repeated reforms he said through the research of his book he spoke to 3 israeli officials who are very interested in actually taking a look at this use of administrative detention to imprison palestinians but he says that obviously there needs to be a more cohesive agreement within the israeli leadership to get movement on this bottom line according to bob is there needs to be more dialogue between the

israelis and the palestinians to help overcome the real challenges facing palestinians but also in his mind the real security threat here in israel he says he thing. this report is good it's a good opportunity to take a look at the challenges facing palestinians but he also said it cannot be understated that israel is dealing with terrorist attacks and he says that $400.00 plus terrorist attacks were throat boarded in israel alone last year ok natasha going to live for us and east jerusalem thank you very much. as being called the biggest crisis to hit boeing in 2 decades the u.s. aircraft manufacturer is suspending production of what was once its best sounding plane the 737 max well that was going to march after 2 fatal crashes within 5 months john hendren reports of boeing's headquarters in chicago. after slowing

production of its most lucrative plane boeing is now hitting the brakes the aircraft maker says it is temporarily halting production of its controversial 737 max aircraft following crashes in indonesia and ethiopia killing 346 people the model was grounded worldwide now with that flight ban set to last well into 2020 boeing's rare freeze on production is expected to ripple across the global economy suspending production of a commercial aircraft is something that has been very rarely done it truly is an unprecedented decision and it 'd is one that has massive impact to boeing and its suppliers and the airlines the airlines that have maxed jets on order are eager to get them the ones that have them in their fleets are eager to get them flying again the company says there will be no layoffs among the $12000.00 workers at its renton washington plant but the decision could affect workers at the 600

companies that are part of the 737 max supply chain the impact of the announcement is so great that boeing's woes could expand the u.s. trade deficit with other nations what makes this such a huge economic decision for boeing and for the global economy is that boeing is the largest manufacturing exports in the u.s. and it's also the largest component of the dow jones industrial average boeing says it has fixed the planes problems through software upgrades and pilot training but with each delay the future of company president dennis mulan burke has come increasingly under question we've been challenged and changed by these accidents we've made mistakes and we've learned and we are still learning. and we're improving in april boeing cut production of the $737.00 max from $52.00 a month to $42.00 is that production line grinds to a halt boeing customers passengers share holders in suppliers or all left to wonder

and backed prime minister and the turkish president a deal than which includes military and security cooperation along with the mehdi time also a corporation and we understand that italy is very much concerned and despite the fact that there is nothing has been revealed as of the yet from this meeting now has no meeting with president with the prime minister saraj in tripoli and he's also due to meet libya's foreign minister mohammed c.l.o. also today he's also expected to travel to the east to. the central command of have to the lottery for have to is there to meet have to it's not sure but he has some sources with the government say he's expected to travel to meet have been in the east of libya but we know that. italy is very much concerned with the libyan issue especially when it comes to the libyan shores and

as you know. that has been that has been agreement between italy and libya especially regarding the military activities and also all that have been a lot so many memories of understanding that have been signed between italy and it and libya and most of probably it is very much concerned with the latest agreement signed with turkey hello ok i'm not rude so meanwhile though the conflict reaches all in libya he has bring us up to say with the latest on the fighting on the ground. heavy fighting. this morning on the southern outskirts of the libyan capital between have to his forces and forces loyal to the u.n. because the government of that national accord we spoke to military commanders in the more committed to the camp in southern tripoli they say that government forces say that have to has war planes targeted the locations of their locations several

times this morning but they say no casualties have been reported we know that have to as forces have been trying to push to enter the capital city center since have to declared our last thursday well until this moment there hasn't been any major advancement on the ground for buy in either side also government forces say that civil a city is in the west of libya have been declaring a general mobilization to defend the capital against what they call have to force aggression and we know that this declaration means that the are going many of these cities have already joined the battle to defend tripoli months ago but we know that this declaration from such cities means that they are going to send more troops and more weapons to the front lines and also we know that they have been

already defending the capital against have to those forces ok mahmoud bring us the latest from tripoli thank you. well in a few moments we'll have the weather with everett's and the so lots more ahead on al-jazeera. frustration in sit don $100.00 days after being sworn in the government is accused of breaking its promises. however the weather is on the change across much of the middle a sense for most of us that will be a change for the better at least if you like blue skies and sunshine missing some very heavy rain pushing through the advance into iraq into iran this is western

iran $113.00 millimeters affright 24 hours or so around 4 times the december average in just one day the west the weather is in the process of pushing further race with so we have got brightest guys coming in behind and you will see some pleasant sunshine returning to the regions we go on through the next few days and at the moment there be some snow over the higher ground at least in iran sliding further south which in these was right in the south a rain still quite heavy as nothing is why would towards pakistan but the cloud will thin and bright somewhat so the rain becoming increasingly patchy as we go on into the latter part of the wait but come without the chance of a few spots of bright just coming through and that's the case to across the arabian peninsula certainly around here around the gulf you see this area cloud hill top up with that same system sinking further south was and a switch as we go through wednesday sees the wet weather there either side of the gulf 21 celsius here in a perfect football weather for the well club championship taking place tomorrow

night temperatures will continue to fall through the week. the weather sponsored by countdown this. week. from ancient embraces to come easy to this. age old philosophies and the root of all to remain central to the world's oldest living civilization in the secondary 2 part series the big picture john the rise of a 21st century superpower i think salmons the challenges it now faces from the outside and from within the china complex our team on al-jazeera when the news breaks in the moment today the current government has lost trust the people they can't do anything because the protestors are against it. people to be coming to places like working the represent the love dogs for opponents of rex it's drawing the conservatives al-jazeera has teams on the ground it now hopes the meeting in paris will push politicians to create

a competent and credible government to bring the room between documentaries and nightly news on air and online. you with al-jazeera put mine on the headlines for you this hour on a pakistan president pervez musharraf has been sentenced to death in connection with a treason case of the late so the nationwide emergency here posed after suspending the constitution 2007 students in india say who is violated their rights during protests against the new citizenship law because we can't they approach these supreme court spits have now been told to go to

a lower court. and french transport workers are staging demonstrations nationwide for the 13th day against government plans to reform pensions transport ation and flights have been disrupted and that could continue through the christmas holiday. well let's return to our top story out of pakistan and the death sentence handed to former presidents purpose of a let's get some analysis on this from rashid's he joins us now from lahore he's a historian and author all of the book pakistan on the brink kids have you with us on the news are. there was a sheriff he's an exile he's very ill it looks like this sentence is designed to send a message rather than anything else so just a would you say that message is aimed and why. well i think you're absolutely right kamin. become and he's not going to be able to bring him from abu dhabi raise

in exile and he's. being given status asylum status by the regime then. the and and simply you know the other issue is that this sounds very dramatic. xtandi chief ex-president being given the death sentence. but it's very unlikely that it will. i think really the message is being given at the moment we are caught in a terrible log jam between the army and the judiciary over the extension. service of the army chief general bhadra who's already seen already 3 years in office he's trying to get an extension for another 300 a tussle going on between did you to sri and beyond me how to exactly who should be giving to 6 tension should it be given a troll and of course the political opposition has weighed in against the

government. calling the government weak so what we're seeing is that domestic political crisis in which of course the timing of this announcement which has been very sudden. plays into that scenario and what does he say he was a bill that. does seem there is this domestic issue where concerning the military itself how do you suppose the military are going to react to this. well i'm sure they're not very happy because it puts them right at the center of the issue and they have always tried to play a back door role they don't like being the central focus of attention and you know this. this judgment does make it sound very very dramatic

you know that for example if the judges go ahead with condemning him and the there at the appeal of president musharraf is rejected you know the rumors that they could be an. exception i don't think any of that is likely i think this is likely to be played out on the political playing field between all the various factions in islamabad rather than actually see a confrontation and just quickly if you were it's a final thought so. how do you think the general public appearance of react to all the this well i think the general public is initially going to be quite shocked there's very divided opinion on which are rough that those who have supported him in the past will continue doing so right now a but by and large i think the public is going to see this as. as

a form of neural kristie that is a wrestling match which is very prominent in pakistan a wrestling match between the 2 sides to judiciary and the army ok ahmed rashid's we will have to leave it that a thank you very much indeed for bringing us your thoughts from lahore. now the u.s. hosting its 1st ever global refugee forum in geneva to look at ways to improve the lives of millions across the globe the 3 day events comes as the number of refugees is rising 25900000 is the number of refugees currently in the world today and while governments have committed to provide help it's often geography not dictate for many and on now more than 2 thirds or 67 percent of all refugees come from just 5 countries and include syria afghanistan and myanmar most of the rest come from africa including south sudan somalia

democratic republic of congo and the central african republic and for the 5th consecutive year turkey is the country with the largest number of refugees nearly 4000000 mainly coming from syria but there are others form iraq iran and afghanistan though the majority of refugees often move to lower middle income countries like pakistan uganda lebanon and bangladesh let's go more on this from sun up moustapha who's engine even if she's a a syrian refugee and founding member of the network for refugee voices good to have you with us here on al-jazeera now your story is quite an inspiring one you appear to want to be one of the lucky ones really many other refugees or so they end up trapped in 3rd countries what message are you trying to get across at this forum. thank you for having us yes we are and we are witnessing now a historical moment at the global if you form in geneva and it is historical not

only because it's the biggest refugee for him or the biggest form of issues but the fact that there is actually over 70 refugee representatives at this forum and fortunately for the past 50 years there has been a lot of meetings around refugees without refugees and so i am definitely one of the privileged ones alongside other colleagues to be here and to have this big responsibility to share what we as refugees want to ever having 70 representatives out of 2000 plus attendees is not enough i mean the whole forum is about as and yet we only have 70 and so my hope is that taking this step forward and in the next forums and the only forums and meetings and projects and policies on officials to make sure that refugees are a part of these processes and are our partners versus our beneficiaries do you think hearing from more refugees rushed the help courage more change because we often hear about these events be offered here about the positive noises the pleas

for burden sharing but we don't seem to get an awful lot of action why do you think this is well i well i think that. the people who are shaping those policies and projects not necessarily have had any of his experience and so i used to do shows are not efficient for solutions to be efficient they have to be well informed and again i guess all brings us back to the fact that if we're not working all together all different stakeholders including the fishies themselves what's with the governments with host communities with civil society would be un and private sector if we're not working together to address these solutions we would never have sustainable efficient solutions. but there is there is certainly a lack of political will is there not really hear this over tell you are you optimistic about this change or get it simon the future or do you think we're just going to see more of the same. well i'm always like you know being a refugee having history ality isn't fleeing syria and you know having dealt with

the assad regime for them almost skeptical about the political will however i'm also optimistic in the sense we have to do what we have to do we're always going to continue the fight and we are demanding actions not words we do not want this to be just another meeting and so in our capacity as refugees and working in other partners we are meeting with bilaterally with member states and encouraging policies and actions that would actually provide protection and legal rights and access to employment and mobility. to move and so we are advocating for that however is this forum going to be life changing i don't think so but i think it's it's a step towards a life changing policies ok some of the stuff for joining us there live from geneva if i were to very much indeed thank you. in the 3rd consecutive nights of protests in lebanon's capital supporters of the 2 main shia groups has been. a force with security forces police repeatedly from

a tear gas and water cannons to disperse hundreds of protesters beirut's this comes hours after lebanon's president michel aoun delayed consultations with political parties to name a new prime minister majority christian parties refused to support the only candidate caretaker prime minister saad hariri china and russia are calling for an end to some un sanctions on north korea they've proposed a draft security council resolution they say would see some penalties lifted to enhance the livelihood of the civilian population but the u.s. says no is not the time to consider lifting the sanctions well the u.s. defense secretary mark asked for says the only way forward is to go to the negotiating table with pyongyang. it is a concern the rhetoric we have seen talk of casts i think that they will be likely if they don't feel satisfied and i think as i said before i've been

watching. the korean peninsula for maybe a quarter of a quarter. of a century now and so i'm familiar with their tactics with their bluster and. i think we need to get we need to get serious and sit down and have discussions about a political braman that needed to rise to the peninsula that is the best way forward and arguably the only way. it's been $100.00 days since it owns transitional government was sworn in after months of political turmoil that led to the removal of president omar al bashir it morgan takes a look at how the transitional government has fared its 1st 3 months. when sudan's new cabinet took the ministerial oath $100.00 days ago many hoped it would assure a new era and months of turmoil. mass protests led to the fall of longtime president. and now civilians who are back in charge alongside the former ruling military junta and. what we've achieved in the 1st 3 months isn't much and our

people had high expectations but in some issues we've gone well the peace process which is a priority is ongoing it's not an ocelot but we've started on it seriously we're moving well on the issue of democratic transformation there is more freedom whether it's in terms of media freedom or political freedom the government pledged to put sudan back on the international scene prime minister. visited several countries including south sudan where he hoped talks could help bring peace to many conflict ridden parts of sudan he's also attempted to get sudan removed of a u.s. list of countries sponsoring terrorism but while the government has been focusing on the regional and international community to gain support at home challenges are piling up it's a formal legislative assembly for the transitional period and just in the last few weeks there's been sporadic fuel shortages a lack of public transport and the economy is still in freefall that's what

asking why use monkeys for a campaign against racism well at some point you need to show the people in stadiums that it's not right to call someone a monkey just because they're black i thought maybe i'll teach them that we're all monkeys turning the concept around so i made a western monkey with white skin and blue eyes an asian monkey with asian eyes and a black monkey in the center because that's where it all started that's what the theory of evolution says so in my view the monkey becomes the spark to teach everybody that there is no difference between us by italian football has been marred by a racist abuse this season the british a striker mario balotelli is one of several players targeted and just 2 weeks ago the italian paper dello sport it was criticised for using the headline black friday on its front page alongside images of 2 black players and chris smalling spoke to professor nicholas pity from the university of bania he believes there is serious

lack of understanding within it to his footballing authorities about how to deal with racism by using these messages. beleaguered city are didn't. really think about. the people who are touched by racism and they all wish they never asked. they never involve them for example black people in this campaign and they think these are big problem in the main reason why there are certain states they like this they don't understand. the meaning i think they will understand they think is very important and now that we are enough globalized society. the control receded debate that is coming from outside and from some part of the diagnosis i do because i need to lead and was at a strong reaction not by the. maybe need yeah mainstream but more by social media
