across the studio james creating as a raft out ready to do would be to watch good evening. study with another. shell be able -- to scandal at this time it's over the depiction of a woman's bodyy talisman. well a a b. say it's on the occasion of the women's world cup they do these shock fromm covers that's their bread and butter i suppose really and in this instance you have. genitalia being kind of presented as a goal right and football in the vicinity i'll be able to see. i am i will i'm going to i'm going to be to find we sort of made the decision that it would probably just. it's a bit off putting i think we get the id not censorship but i'll show you i think a lot of people just kind would find it. this is how worn ruling is telling france over the today which in itself led to criticism because you see it with sensors. and of course gustav -- like i got the the all regions of the world stock particular painting in at the and by about is is often sort of cool but i think yeah that's as good at that's often mentioned in the same

breath as images such as the saying look at this because there's no. link has on it this is just you the nonsense is now but i think that's kind of i think that's the opinion of a lot and that's deriding juvenile and accepts it so. well i'll tell you what one of the first of all a trigger to love people and i suppose you could argue that was the whole point. charlie hebdo you've taken a respectful soccer players in the world and sexually objectify them in the most distasteful way i forgot to mention that there is also a very cruise by line. i which said we're gonna be munching on this for the next month i thought i was waiting for you to translate that yeah so the whole thing was kind of sexual innuendo around women's world cup and i think a lot of people were like. come on guys you know. maybe drop a small just ecstatic remiss in the ibm and i love the old little freedom of expression but it's it's i i i think a lotf people thought that was centralization of women and it when it when when this is. it didn't need to be done sort of thing -- in any c case -- its sort of a lot of reactions calling it the meanest thing too but some people really reacting with a with a lot of a anger. that. one found institute a user here going down through a whole list of reasons why it was -- it it right down to the way in which gender genitalia was drawn and

depicted i sort of just and offensive basically. no it's interesting because only yesterday we were talkingg about charlie hebdo in the same. breath as the at the the whole story of the new york times global edition scrapping. satirical cartoons -- because one of those directly her cartoons two months ago was seen as offensive and anti semitic so it just order the it's weak people were using charlie hebdo. as a sort of a standard bearer if you like i think it's very important to defend at thihis freedom of expression and even if his fans. but i i just to show you a a a couple more comments in that regard and it. it many many people here know saying that freedom of faced with the with the with the hordes of sensors and pete and and went well thinking people etcetera. this is courage and it's this is

showing courage and it's necessary. but it was the whole point is is it funny i think what it always come to the same question. i mean it's is it fully. and i think it's certainly offends a lot of people -- but i'm not sure if it's funny anyway in any case it sparks the whole debate the massacre at charlie hebdo was only four and a half four plus years ago. cartoonists are often targets we should still be reinforcing our commitment of diverse f forms of expression not running away from them. and this is another comment here by some intestinal see the front page of charlie hebdo i'm i'm shocked no is it funny no. and they're getting more more crude and it's not funny and it's not making me laugh and it's not the judgment of my youth so i think some people feeling that they're doing it. really to create a reaction more than for any other reason and i suppose the whole point is yes the freedom to offend and to shock should be safeguarded. but then shouldn't it be wielded unused smartly and not just for pointless sort of a child a shot

him. dead. troll mc human assets james i couldn't put it better myself thank you let's move on to the moans editorial. respected center left newspaper him from said oh well boris johnson in number ten downing street -- i could think of a number people who agree with them all right as i said this was our front page at this was their editorial rather i'd. today at noon boris johnson to lead the u. k. no thanks no messy i'm going to say for the european union the sparse johnson getting to the top job would be the equivalent of installing in london many trump. who is -- is sash on sabotaging the unit the european union they go back in the article that mark through his career when he was at the correspondent in brussels for the daily telegraph the city contributed. to the transformationn old sort of you're a phobia in the uk i kikind o of beat the the contrid largely to enlarge into it and indeed even within the conservatory that have been pro european up stop point. to that big they're really taken to pieces and say that he's a he's somebody who is.

not truthful feeding the satellite diatribe of anti european stories like in a band the because yet straight on as these kind of things the ludicrous stories that made all the tabloids he was often the source of those things. i'm just i read the last line of the editora boris has to stop being seen as a simple buffoon his entry in number ten downing street will be a calamity for the coununtry and for europe so that's a low moans view on things are finished with news. home i which is satirical in the u. k. just in the in in the sense that they mentioned him as a mini trump and there you go with it if you know all of these could face if they're given. a trump make a thrice. just leave that they're not never ever dodo to you sufffferd james a defense offer james wilson. it is. it's just. i think it's funny it's not a dispatch service is a dififferet

isn'n't it yeah. we're like a church makes always disappointed and shot at the ready maybe i should be minutes away and it's you know
