the tree target commercial road or a hotel like today had to counter terrorism in afghanistan you need a regional approach and the regional approach means working with iran working with pakistan and working with russia and central asian states at the moment the us is not really doing there they have their own strategy and it's not doesn't fit in with the british insanity. this week the two koreas agreed to march together under a single flag during the upcoming winter olympics the north will now send twenty two athletes to compete in three sports at the young chang games the international olympic committee president thomas barker praised the agreement calling it a milestone in a long journey to korea's also former single team in women's hockey it will be for the first time an olympic history it will also have a korean folksong as their common from officials in both countries have a meeting throughout the week to discuss peace efforts but the seeming rapprochement between the koreas hasn't been it's the us president who said he's

not sure talks can lead to anything meaningful also this week the u.s. and allies of the one nine hundred fifty s. korean war gathered in canada for separate talks on the current crisis and agreed more pressure is the only solution the pressure will continue north korea decides to do nuclear and i think our job collectively now is to send out a very clear message we want to intensify that pressure discord that include cutting off diplomatic ties there is north korea we spoke to human rights lawyer eric serapion who says washington fear is dropping out of the spotlight in the korean crisis. the president. somehow believes that this pressure approach is the this is something different than has been applied before which it isn't and in reality he wants to pull back some of the thunder if

you will back to washington because you have again the north and south talking i think the u.s. is a little jekyll and hyde with its policies because on one hand it wants to have a resolution wants to have de mille nuclearization wants to have peace and on the other hand pumps up this rhetoric and so the motivations relate to finances they relate to geo political factors of the u.s. power in the region if you will and they relate to trying to ice out china and russia a little bit as a player in this as was evident in vancouver. drug related crimes are becoming so bound on parts of the paris metro that train drivers are reportedly refusing to stop at certain stations and that's according to a union that represents the metro bus network in the french capital articles want to show the dubious he went underground to investigate. 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 on purpose as metro but now the unions representing the train drivers say it's inspiring out of control dealers and muses including those taking crack cocaine a new god thing what 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 force of i'm not pro quo is very dangerous and it's terrifying if it can range from a simple punch to people using nails knives or. stations like marks door

and market a year or especially troubled druggies has come here for their daily fix and gangs have taken over for problem of. the problem is very dangerous for both the metro workers and for the commuters is 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 metro 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 was 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 match though they should be doing something most of the time the drug users are aggressive and. everyone is afraid for the security of my children. twenty

and twenty five. lived there we would we were so of course. they have been attacked just one time because the we had in the middle of the night is a smartphone. playing with that problem as a precipice a problem as the security robberies can happen sometimes it's maybe aggression physical aggression sometimes too why 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 along but in reality all they've done is move the problem to another stop on to another day charlotte even ski. paris. for people

to the city of berkeley and its university for injuries they say were sustained during anti trump riots last year that story and more after this break. something that is very important for us. not to be only a common market as we say to be a community of them don't adopt this view was of proselyting as if it were as saw here to power that from moscow brides to dominate. the their way to be and several communities it is so. in order to overthrow a regime it does take. popular discontent and popular mobilization but also

requires actors with the leadership of the regime who feel that the regime is no longer serving the national interest you need people in the military or the bureaucracy for both who are willing to see the regime change otherwise they would be able to put down a popular revolt but did not have support at higher levels. welcome back to germany now where the p d party convention has voted in favor of launching coalition talks with anger merkel's party and even though the result is what the s.p.d. leader has been campaigning for has been anything but it easy right for him let's get more on this story now from our person of peter all of us. should be proud that he shouldn't be the thought this is what he wants. well it's often said the german

politics is an interesting it certainly got a big pit of drama to a certain extent on sunday evening as. the delegates from the social democrats and the board members voted on whether they want to enter in to the. official coalition talks with angle or merkel's conservative bloc it was tighter than it perhaps should have been three hundred sixty two in favor two hundred and seventy nine against with one abstention what we did see though was weld a very worried looking martin schulz in the lead up to this he certainly didn't look like a man who had confidence in the result going his way it's been a long hard fought campaign and when the result came in we saw a clearly visibly relieved martin schulz and getting the news. so there were no signals militarist. we announce the voting results six hundred forty two votes have

been car system three hundred sixty two which are in favor hundred seventy nine against and one abstention vastly s.p.d. will commence coalition talks. well the lady you saw sitting next to martin schultz there was under the and now she certainly did her bit to try and win over those that hadn't made up to their minds it was a rousing speech from her in the in the lead up to that ballot but this is a vote that has certainly split the social democratic party we did see a large challenge mounted by the leader of the youth wing kevin couldn't it and they have the whole youth side of the party saying now they didn't want to be four more years of coalition with angela merkel they wanted to spend four years in opposition well it certainly seems it's not going that way at the moment martin schultz has said though that the final decision on a coalition will go down to a vote of party membership and will be put out to

a ballot of the almost full. four hundred fifty thousand party members there it is worth noting that the social democrats didn't have a very good election in september they lost forty seats in the bundestag. there is a lot of people against this coalition but what would the bundestag look like should there be a rekindling of the grand coalition between angola merkel's bloc and the social democrats well what it would do of course is that would make alternative for germany the main opposition party in the in the bundestag with everything that comes with that it is traditional in germany that the. opposition party with the most seats the most percentage becomes the head of the bundestag budget committee amongst other things so that would be new ground for an alternative for germany but what they what the critics of this move is saying is that it could see the social democrats hemorrhage even more votes to the greens to the free democrats and to

alternative for germany as well many people concerned about that however martin schultz himself has said in the past that there were two options it's grand coalition or it's fresh elections and he certainly knows which one he prefers. you don't you know you everyone should realize the question is coalition talks for new elections my take on this is very clear i don't think you elections are the right way for us. but on sunday evening it does seem that the critics of modern schultz they've got their knives out and he's being accused of putting the slim chance of remaining in power over party unity because right up to date live from berlin peter ola thank you. none of the news for people to file the lawsuit against the city of berkeley in california and this university for injuries that they claim they received during anti trump riots on the campus there

last year the violence erupted over a speech that was to be given at the university by a prominent conservative. we

talked to katrina riddle who's taking legal at legal steps i should say against berkeley university. but when the attack started and specially 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 he was being unconscious afterwards by the police both the city and the campus police were clearly inadequate given what happened the injuries that were sustained right i saw personally it was police initially standing outside of the building that they later locked us out of i thought in their knowledge of the way 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 university of california berkeley has declined to comment the city itself previously filed court motion seeking to

dismiss a similar case but the lawyer representing the victim says that they want to send a message to the campus itself the injuries caused to her 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 campus universities that they they have to do their 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 wild force and i should say to serve and protect the public and they did not do that. ok that brings you right up to date

july maine just over half an hour's time for the latest headlines. hey everybody i'm stephen barbee task hollywood guy you'll suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v.'s to say this is my buddy

max famous financial guru well just a little bit different i'm not a abraham lincoln. you know when those up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have some fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the navy seals exactly just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to find generally what it is that really packs a punch out of this league yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than. the c. people you've never heard of love redacted tonight my. broke the world bank bill

very difficult was it seriously send us an e-mail. and 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. per year old lie between the. lepi border and. while the demand keeps growing university tuition fees skyrocket the world over the cost of education is high increasing. their. work harder is more.

mystery i don't understand how can a school be a scam. in the name of so called economic pragmatism and as 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. really are 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 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 rule 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 its higher education more competitive so it can serve 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 to receive 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. 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 posted look at what

a huge myth one and one and probably all suck of all places all. in the one nine hundred eighty s. and nine hundred ninety s. 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 a daring 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 christian faith. 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 services so as to make them more efficient more productive and 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 for. prompted by his second term election tony blair

authorizes universities to charge tuition fees up to three thousand three hundred pounds. tony blair head of britain's labor party successfully 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 conservatives led by david cameron take charge of the country very rapidly the debate over tuition fees arises on the political scene again this time the government intends to authorize tuition fees up to nine thousand pounds all the while reducing the portion of public funding and it 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 a policy that provides a strong base for university funding which makes a major contribution to reducing the deficit and introducing

a significantly more progressive system of grog you would pay punched only on average and i'm proud to put forward that magic so this. 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 voted for to jewish and fee increases is able to drum up quite so much fake anger on the issues out there. any young person asked any young person in any poor communities in our country what is your prospect what is your what do you want to do many were saying. i want to study i want to qualify i want to go to

university i want to achieve something in life. hell that. unless they are very cool they can have to borrow money to survive to get through 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 interests of the right three hundred twenty three you know most of the last three hundred true. god was when it was really from three thousand that it became one thousand pounds i was up to the university if they wanted to introduce nine thousand pounds

a maximum face or anything between six thousand and nine thousand and unsurprisingly most university decided to set nine thousand pounds most students have now half a million students going through every year most of those with a minimum of 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 a young woman could have enrolled in a university in krakow in copenhagen or even amsterdam. it would have been free in 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 everything and i had many thoughts about ok 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 profit she's to me i think that. yeah i'm good it's my way of paying back for everything. and. will the european students be forced one day to get into debt. should education become a. must judas become self-made finance he has to earn an education. northern european countries do things a bit differently. now

the financial for vinyl job that it was all about money laundering first visit this cash in the three different. oh good that's a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas a good thing when i lived in rio all these banks were complicit in their tough talk or serious after dealing with all of them ready to do some serious mood ok let's see how we did while we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy old beautiful jewelry and how about. again for a match you know what money for a highly. watched kaiser could. prescribe medication is widespread on the u.s. market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i just felt like everything with ashes my family was literally coming on.
