that's after the facebook account of a member of the rightwing alternative for germany party was blocked it came after she called for people to join a women's march against the rape and killings of locals perpetrated by by currents in the country i organize a women's march to the chancery almost every day we read about horrific rapes and murder of women the more women come the more pressure it will put america and politicians from the old parties together let us take to the streets to fight for our right to freedom and some of the time a nation or despite belonging to a party known for its strong rhetoric a. woman who is a woman scuse me a women and children's rights activist she's of a migrant origin herself and was surprised at the official reason for her facebook . doesn't facebook a show on my travels with facebook started a few years ago facebook has a big issue with women in migrant background you can notice that i don't have a nordic lumination if i can see that i'm originally from the south and here in
8:31 am
germany i find a human rights which isn't always easy in islamic countries people like me are silenced by facebook he says i have a surge in popularity and quite a large following i was blocked for thirty days then my account was deleted but that wasn't the first time my accounts have now been purged four times and since i am a member of the air of which in germany far as for women's rights i am a nuisance for facebook and the mainstream media but. under the new law that forces social media to delete offensive content within twenty four hours after receiving a complaint otherwise companies face big fines she says people who express their anger at migrant policies in germany are seeing their voices silenced. the problem is you know the policy of the german government and especially of the old guard this is intended to help young man from islamic or african countries get settled in europe and to accept their religion and culture for this reason and german citizen who has lived here forever is being ignored and in the case of
8:32 am
facebook or twitter it works like this they censor all critical statements even though they are consistent with the real situation of course it runs against the mainstream political line in germany for this reason they try to silence all critics of the german government's asylum policy. drug related crimes are becoming so about on part of the paris metro the train drivers are reportedly refusing to stop at certain stations artie's investigates. for most parisians the metro is a staple of life with its winding tunnels and lines that stretch across the city it's often the easiest way to get from a to b. but down in the underground the gritty underbelly of the capital is being exposed drug related crime and violence has been a long standing issue paresis metro but now the unions representing the train
8:33 am
drivers say it is spiraling out of control dealers and new users including those taking crack cocaine a new role god thing they've doing. lighting up metro drivers is so fearful of attacks at some stations many are choosing to longer stop there a survivor more for survive more quickly is very dangerous and it's terrifying it can range from a simple punch to people using nails knives. stations like marks door and market a year are specially troubled druggies has come here for their daily fix and gangs have taken over. it's a problem if. the problem is very dangerous for both the metro workers and for the commuters it's even more dangerous they are targets of fast i've seen more than one hundred attacks take place within minutes of arriving if mark's dorm or metro
8:34 am
station we witnessed what looks like a drug deal the man with his back to the camera has just arrived with a bag in hand he walked the platform stopping and exchanging some packages with people and then he left with his bag empty this seems to be the new normal. there are lots of drug users and i think that with everything that's happening in the matter oh they should be doing something most of the time the drug users are aggressive and everyone is afraid for their security. children. twenty twenty five. lived there we were we were so of course. have been attacked just one time because. we had in the middle of the night is a smartphone. playing with that problem was a precipice
8:35 am
a problem as the security robberies can happen sometimes it's maybe aggression physical aggression sometimes do by ceasar man attack another young man. as we travelled through some of the most dangerous stations we saw metro security and police trying to crack down on the problem they succeeded in moving this bunch are long but in reality all they've done is move the problem to another stop on to another day charlotte. r.t. paris the weekly continues and. work. sure.
8:36 am
they put themselves on the line. so when you want to be president. to going to be this is what. people are. interested. good of you to join us today five civilians have been killed in afghanistan after
8:37 am
a group of gunmen attacked a luxury hotel in kabul. when the. continental hotel then took staffan guests hostage a subsequent security operation done last it for thirteen was a special forces battled the gunman forcing them to leave their positions and move to the upper floors of the hotel eventually old those were reported killed on sunday morning security forces managed to rescue one hundred twenty six people. all. defense on security. says a number of factors led to the relative success of the. i think unfortunately the afghan security forces are just not up to the standards or there's too much pressure on them and there's not much coordination between nato forces and the afghan police there are multiple threats there's the taliban there's al qaeda there's ice is there's also has been which is also in the government so there are
8:38 am
a number of opponents and i think this simply isn't the right intelligence to counter these kind of attacks because they're happening on the regular basis one day it's a civilian target one day it's a military target one day it's a commercial road or a hotel like today how to counter terrorism in afghanistan you need region approach and the regional approach means working with iran working with pakistan and working with russia in the central asian states at the moment the u.s. is not really doing that they have their own strategy and it's not doesn't fit in with britain strategy. started sending emails or those who might have followed retreated or like suspected russian propaganda accounts this during the u.s. presidential election. campaign believes almost seven hundred thousand users fall into that category e-mail users to learn more about the nature of the russian propaganda and one of those contacted was political comedian tim young. well i
8:39 am
thought it was very interesting getting a letter from twitter because i i never recall re tweeting or liking something that i would have viewed as russian propaganda to have donald trump elected or or manipulate the election is a propaganda tool if you agree with what you're liking or re tweeting i'm not sure who is being influenced as an american by the tweets especially the tweets that they showed they had a few example tweets and a lot of them were just basic political messages that anyone in america could come up with so i think twitter and a lot of the democrats think americans are extremely stupid so i'm not sure exactly why twitter thought that i would have been fluence to buy something. outside of this country to begin with in the election. he asked twitter to explain how it identifies accounts related to a so-called russian propaganda so father we've had no reply and the u.s. lawmakers have accused the site of playing host to a torrent of just information during the twenty sixteen election campaign twitter
8:40 am
said it would work to identify and inform people about that alleged propaganda. a letter that i wrote calling on these companies to individually inform all users who are exposed to false misleading and inflammatory posts generated by russian agents we will be working to identify and inform individually the users who may have been exposed to the ira accounts during the election it's it's nearly impossible to be able to show what is actually political propaganda because in. and election cycle everything can be considered political propaganda and what is considered a different country meddling in another country's election because i think contacted i've done digital marketing before for many people and i think contacted by foreign leaders to run their digital campaigns and do social media for them so would that count as an american meddling in their election like there's so many
8:41 am
different ways you can categorize this and it really doesn't make sense but it plays into the old now one year old or longer conspiracy theory that russian the russian government colluded with the trump campaign which there's still no evidence of. people who filed a lawsuit against the city of berkeley in california and it's university for injuries they say they received during riots on the campus there last year the violence erupted over a speech set to be given at the university by a prominent conservative.
8:42 am
we talked to katrina red who is taking legal steps against buckley university but when the attack started ahead especially after i was pepper sprayed i was completely incapacitated there was nothing i could do to defend myself so i had no choice but to turn around and just face the barricade i was worried about what was happening to my husband it turned out he was just a few feet away from me being beaten worse than any of us has been unconscious afterwards by the police both the city and the campus police who are clearly inadequate given what happened then and trees that were sustained right i saw
8:43 am
personally it was police initially standing outside of the building that they later locked us out of i thought in their knowledge and with a wave and by the time the attack actually started they were nowhere to be seen they had locked themselves inside the building and wouldn't give us any aid at all the university of california berkeley has declined to comment the city itself previously filed court motions seeking to dismiss a similar case but the lawyer representing the victims says they want to send a message to campus stop and police to do a better job. the injuries caused to our clients two of which were beaten unconscious and still suffer from psychological disorders post-traumatic disorders . so they are seeking money damages to compensate them for that but the main goal of this case is to send a message to campus police and fantasy universities that they they have to do their
8:44 am
job you know i liken what happened here the deliberate effort to not intervene and to not do anything to fire a man watching a building on fire with their with their hoses water pouring out of them but they're too afraid to go into the building because they might get hurt it's the goal of law enforcement it's the role of a violent force and i should say to serve and protect the public and they did not do that. bitcoins being on a roller coaster ride as of late wednesday of sorts value plummet to below ten thousand dollars the crash follows a global crackdown on digital currencies in terms of regulation in brazil investment funds and operated from buying cryptocurrency in china authorities are targeting online platforms that offer exchange services india is actively targeting wealthy bitcoin is through income tax regulation and now some believe asia will bring in even harder measures and there are warnings this could now be
8:45 am
a survival of the fittest for digital currencies. china has always been opposed to it too but quite and korea now is becoming increasingly concerned japan is going wild but most of the action. and all crimes are you know they just speculation is really extreme particularly in japan and they know look this is going to have shown so they're correcting a child i might add. the communist congress has a taking a turn to deal with speculators the only issue right now is that this sector is so technologically advanced that it went big outside the bounds of national governments and what they're doing is catching up the world doesn't need on a business sense all of these. all of these projects they're not necessary some of them will outperform al compete their peers just because they have
8:46 am
a better management teams better products better solutions their technology etc just look at them as very speculative. some of them as it happened in the not in the nasdaq bubble of the late ninety's some of them will be a dominant company dominated business and ten to twenty years but most of the way the underlying technology watching technology is good is huge. thanks for joining us for the weekly when asked the international the top stories of the week and off today return in about half an hour. away from many clubs over the years so i know the guy even so i got. the ball isn't
8:47 am
only about what happens on the pitch but the final school it's about the pressure. from the fans it's the age of the superman each a billionaire owner has been spending to get a twenty million. book it's an experience like no one else want to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy a great so well with. the base and this minute. level of walking selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battle of things going. to new socks credit tell you that somebody gossiping top of my file for the most important day. off after i've been telling you i'm not cool enough to buy their product. these are the hawks that we along with our loved ones.
8:48 am
in the middle of the sixty's there were thirteen million students enrolled in higher education in two thousand and fifteen there were two hundred million in less than fifteen years there are expected to be four hundred million. lepage born. while the demand keeps growing university tuition fees skyrocket the world over the cost of education is high increasing. their. work harder is more. i don't understand how can a school be a scam. in the name of so-called economic pragmatism and as
8:49 am
a result of international competition universities are turning into a huge money making machine it's. none of my family members went to university i think i wanted to be i wanted to be got one. from shanghai to new york to berlin countries around the world reflect trying different moves each remodelling its system in its own way but at what price and who profits from it was. at the starting point of our story which begins at the end of the ninety's. at that time you have this financial izing itself all the while expanding many intellectuals european university presidents and expert groups engage in
8:50 am
a vast reflection on how to build a more complete more ambitious europe. how to strengthen its intellectual scientific and technological influence. what is the secret of the united states and its economic power. the answer lies in higher education and research. a realm that has become undeniably strategic. at the end of the twentieth century american universities prevail and who europe is afraid afraid of finding itself on the sidelines it needs a strategy and so european gauges in a series of reforms to make it higher education more competitive so it can serve
8:51 am
europe's economy its productivity its job market and its liberal project england will quickly set the tone before anyone else and to get straight to the point. after the second world war we had a system where local education authorities around the country were responsible for providing a grant to students and giving of covering tuitions fees. and that was at a time when roughly three percent of eighteen year olds went to university around twenty thousand. all science students will have their first two terms be required to attend lectures on physics chemistry mathematics and biology it will also be possible for science students to major in philosophy knowledge is not bullshit look at what a huge mess we're in in one and covering all sides of all all places. in the one nine hundred eighty s. and nine hundred ninety s.
8:52 am
there was a funding crisis amongst universities lots of vice chancellors complaining that they didn't have enough money to cover the amount of students are now coming through the system so the government commissioned a report and this was called during report and that came up with a number of recommendations almost one hundred recommendations roughly half for the government about how it could. maintain sustain and improve higher education in the u.k. and one of the most controversial parts of that report was the introduction of was i in one thousand nine hundred seventy the british left led by its young charismatic candidate tony blair wins the elections after eighteen long years of conservative rule. at the age of forty three the head of the labor party takes charge of the country with a program whose foundation is to apply private sector management models to public
8:53 am
services so as to make them more efficient more productive in the higher education will be no exception. right. we need to widen access to universities get more money into universities and the best and fairest way to do it is a balance between the state and the graduate. face became reality and nine hundred ninety eight and it was a key landmark in the history of higher education in the u.k. because at that moment the principle of free education free higher education in the u.k. finished. for this historic reform tony blair introduces the yearly one thousand pound tuition fee a smooth way to start five years later prompted by his second term election tony blair authorizes universities to charge tuition fees up to three thousand three hundred pounds yearly and tony blair. head of britain's labor party successfully
8:54 am
passed a reform that the conservatives would never have dared bring forward. in two thousand and ten the labor party rallies the opposition the coalition made of liberal democrats and conservatives led by david cameron take charge of the country very rapidly the debate over jewish and fees arises on the political scene again this time the government intends to authorize tuition fees up to nine thousand pounds yearly all the while reducing the portion of public funding and catered to universities this new reform violently divides both members of parliament and public opinion that have been very difficult choices to make we have opted for a such of policies that provide a strong base for university funding which makes a major contribution to reducing the deficit and introducing a significantly more progressive system of graduate paper and stuff we inherited and i'm proud to put forward that magic so this.
8:55 am
order. there is nothing a bank that tiny benefit to the lowest income graduates that justifies doubling or tripling the debt of the vast majority of right isn't it credible that the party opposite who actually introduced the principle of graduates paying and thank you for two jewish and fee increases is able to drum up quite so much fake anger on the issues out there. any young person ask any young person in any poor communities in our country what is your prospect what is your what do you want to do many would say i want to study i want to qualify i want to go to university i want to achieve something in life. help them. less they are very poor or they're going to borrow money to survive to get through
8:56 am
university they simply will not do it this decision matters so much to so many people. i'd say to the house if you don't believe in it vote against the it's to the right three hundred twenty three you know most of the last three hundred true. of the. was when the count was really from three thousand it became one thousand pounds i was up to the university if they wanted to introduce nine thousand pounds. face or anything between six thousand and nine thousand and unsurprisingly most university decided to set nine thousand pounds most students have now half
8:57 am
a million students going through every year most of those will be paying a minimum nine thousand pounds a year and that's stan's. over the course of fifteen years british politicians are ruling class that had enjoyed free access to education inflicted a paying system on the new generation. british students along with a european fellows now have to deal with these new rulings that's the way it is. they're young they long for a solid future get thirsty for knowledge and dream of climbing the social ladder all that has a price tag and they'd better get used to him. and if i grew up in a working class family in the south of poland the young woman could have enrolled in a university in krakow in copenhagen or even amsterdam. it would have been free in
8:58 am
england and it was granted a student loan to pay for her nine thousand pounds tuition fee. i knew i was going to go abroad to study and i think well for a little while i thought it was going to be scotland but then. i think i decided it was england you know like way back and it just stuck with me and i and i came here and it was it was scary it was so scary because i was away from home i was here alone i didn't have anywhere to turn to and look at me now i study chinese of all the crises that i could have chosen i can't wait for you know what the future holds and when i'm going to do i have so many ideas but we'll see. i talked to my grandfather once and we're talking about everything else and then kind of started talking about university and how much money that costs and
8:59 am
everything and i had many thoughts about maybe maybe i'll quit maybe i'll you know it's too much maybe it's not worth it and then i realized well how my going to pay it back but that's one of the reasons why i stayed and other reason bigger even is that i like what i do i think i'm not quite sure where that came from my need to go to university i think is because. none none of my family members went to university i think i wanted to be i wanted to be that one first person who did that and my mom my mom really wanted me to do that as well she did encourage me strongly i don't know what i would do with her if i fail i would i would feel like i failed her and i never want to do that ever. because being here and doing what i do and being university is my way of paying her back for probably that she's
9:00 am
to me i think that. oh yeah i'm good it's my way of paying back for everything. and. willow european students will be forced one day to get into debt. should education become a sellable good. must didn't speak um self-made finance he has to earn an education . northern european countries see things a bit differently. with manufactured consensus.
