in some of those cities too mostly in the cities where locations like here in moscow. approved by the authorities as well we saw some people being detained by the police to mostly those who were trying to block the streets. the german political farishta karl marx was born exactly two hundred years ago and his aides on the revolutionary socialism are still a source of fierce debate across the world our europe correspondent peter oliver went to the city where marks grew up. germany is commemorating one of its most famous sound controversial think is saturday is the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of the author of the communist manifesto karl marx to say that his ideas of class struggle and the overthrow of the ruling classes by the workers were and remain divisive here well that is beyond understatement marx's ideas were truly at the root of the ideological division between east and west germany post world war

two but that's not stopping his place of birth tree in the south west from hosting a series of events to mark his big birthday bash. it surprised many when it was announced that the guest of honor at the big party in trio would be sean claude younker the e.u. commission president hardly has proletariats credentials in fact the former prime minister of luxembourg has been accused in the past of exuding the worst excesses of the bush was he so perhaps mr young has been

a closeted calm rate of marx all these years marxist con marx is not responsible for all the atrocities carried out by his followers his writings does capitol and the communist manifesto change the world as we know it so marx's name and image has appeared all over the place from a major street here in the german capital to these t. shirts you can even save your capitalist penny inside the head of one of communisms founding think is marxist also appeared in more than its fair. a share of t.v. shows and advertisements as well. oh come on now have sweetie a dad. mars scientists are calling the list. to

. get. the ideas put forward by moxy alongside frederick angles being consigned to the nineteenth hole for that matter the twentieth centuries a recent poll of people from twenty eight different nations showed that hall for them said to get a better society we should follow socialist ideals however it is worth noting that in the same poll around the same number said that political systems based on the writings of these two were far more likely to be oppressive the people of what they thought those mosques have a place in today society and politics so when it comes to politics like maybe you

use it to get votes but it's now very early like that ideology and it has never been practiced so it doesn't exist and not only like about. economic inequalities but also other types of inequalities that could be used like they could use marxist theory to be examined more in today's culture capitalism. steals labor from people from the workers. from from our point of view. it's still important that my dear is good and important but it's night did a utopia in reality things in the differently at marx's funeral in london eighteen eighty three angles said his friend the greatest living thinker has ceased to think well that may well have been but two hundred years after his birth the ideas put forward by marx continue to inspire others to think peter all of us. we

heard from philosopher and cultural critic. about how marx and his works are understood in the modern world. as you eat all heroes here almost this same is very ambiguous you become a cult figure a week means people don't really start the you don't really review and so on and so on mark's to present him as an idol not only doesn't take mark seriously but also avoids confronting what is problematic in marx his description of the movement of a global copy of the policy the growing between the food and beverage and so on and so on it's very actuality but the context is those early different he was as if you added right in the wrong way marx obviously didn't care as well elaborated a theory of state power he thought state is such a fact just

a second diety soup that a structure thinks really happened in economy already in the soviet union it was proven that things don't work like d.s. states place a much stronger role so that sort of stuff today. to be a critical marxist is to focus on problems which are neglected by marx like the role of state power in economy itself is activist in scotland are calling for a second referendum on independence that story much more after a short break and. jim

lives by two things by his emotion and he has said. in that long he places a very long heat he says so to speak a. long distance call it takes and that's the way the underestimates. international thousands of people took to the streets of glasgow on saturday

demanding a second referendum on scottish independence from the u.k. . the march was led by a movement called under one banner which held a similar event last year around any thousand people showed up which is twice the number that the organizers expect in september two thousand and fourteen scotland voted to remain in the united kingdom with the better together campaign winning by fifty five percent to forty five according to jonathan shafi from the radical independents campaign support for independents has risen dramatically since then. what's fascinating about today's demonstration. by.

no organized by. style bush organizations in town is. something the. communities the length and breadth of school. demolished through the day so that tells you something that gives you an indication of the feeling in the country no only for the rich making their support for the rich. actually will you be willing to teach this jeep's to make their point to raise their voices in favor of referendum i think it's safe enough to change this saying of things to come. the senate in the u.s. state of illinois has approved a plan to require schools to teach children about the contributions of. people to american history the bill which needs the approval of the lower house to become state law is proving to be highly controversial it will promote acceptance and

a more accurate portrayal of history. it is in direct contradiction to the clearly christian beliefs of many in illinois the media commentator. and human rights activist peter tatchell gave us their views on the story it's very important people understand the contribution that gay people have made i think is about informing straight kids so they understand l g b t issues. their prejudices broken down if a history book or any book whatever write about me personally i wouldn't want them to lead with my religious background my ethnicity and certainly not my sexual orientation fantastic extraordinary people from tchaikovsky to richard the lionhearted their gayness or their bisexuality is not the major factor but it's just about acknowledging that l.g. people have existed throughout history and have made a very important contribution to the sciences the arts sport and culture well i

think in an effort perhaps to be inclusive we've made a mistake a miss estimation if you will and what's happened is that a lot of groups have been taken advantage of by politicians who are willing to prey on people based on those identities i think that you know identity politics has been a response to exclusion because of decades of exclusion and marginalization some communities of how to organize it hasn't worked and what it's done instead is it's divided us up into little groups that then can be taken advantage of by politicians gene is right we don't want to be typecast about the fact that we're jewish or gay or black those are just one aspects of who we are but in some cases those are the aspects of who we are which other people target for hatred and discrimination my concern begins and ends where government gets involved in deciding who is relevant who is not relevant who is more relevant and then dividing us into lou. no groups

because when government has enough power to do that they also have enough power to take that away. soviet war heroes who fought against nazi germany are being remembered around the world ahead of the may ninth victory day celebrations the mortal regiment marches give people the chance to honor their family members who took part in that victory or to come up and went to a march in new york. so we're here to our city and we're walking along the new york harbor as you can see all around me we have a gathering this gathering of people to commemorate the victory over fascism during the second world war as much as people might view this is a russian gathering this is really a celebration of some of the good things about america as well let's remember that i mean during the second world war the usa came together with russia and defeated the fascist menace and it's interesting this is kind of a family affair we're seeing a lot of you know couples with children we're seeing grandparents with their

younger generation a lot of folks out here now the folks are carrying placards with the image of their relatives who died or fought in the second world war family affair it looks like a flower you know green great parents and this is your relative yes this is my grandpa he was a pilot this is a my grandpa grand grandfather he was this appeared in the world war two he died on his way to berlin well i'm originally from kazakhstan and i'm here to commemorate his memory it's really important to thank him for what. each of these faces has a story a story about the battle to defeat fascism a story about you know kind of the goodness that kind of brings the american people in the russian people together and gives us kind of a common bond in history why a gatherings like this are so important i think just to show the camaraderie between americans and the russians. were so much alike and i'm here as an american because i think the collaboration between the united states. russia is

important for mankind there's a beautiful history of russians and americans not being at each other's throats not hating each other but actually being friends now listen they're singing some of these songs songs that have become you know in britain the culture this is the second world war anthem we're hearing the crowd singing now as you can see a lot of russian americans we've got some folks from here in the u.s. a native born american folks who want to commemorate the victory we've also got some chinese americans we've got some folks from central asia places like kazakstan coming together to commemorate the victory over fascism caleb mop and r.t. new york. teenager in the u.s. state of utah recently found herself at the center of a twitter storm after she wore a chinese dress to her school prom parties online series in case you missed it trying to figure out what is behind the concept of cultural appropriation aiyana. are.

younger just enjoying high school prom no in case you missed this picture is the moment that civilization went just too far. cultural appropriation or appreciating stuff from other cultures may seem like a completely made up problem the kind of thing it's not worth. but are we really going to believe that innocent young the traditional chinese dress just so she could look nice when i'm grey guy on twitter who had never met you teenager and probably shouldn't be looking at strangers social media feeds her cross when he said my culture is no goddamn progress but mr angry is a chinese american named jeremy lamb who one would expect would know a thing or two about mixing culture is if we don't all pretend to be outraged right now then well look as he is of this world stop we will start to eat chinese food as

if it a new thing when they start using goods made in china in everyday life china's culture is not your god damn i think one of our indian children a attitude from the simpsons he's going under the radar for thirty years but is now finally being criticized by one guy who can't just take someone from another culture and affectionately turn them into a much loved blondes of the most successful show of all time groundskeeper willie scotland how are they getting away with that so how do we stop this before we end up in the nightmare scenario where different cultures learn about appreciate and accept one another start with your say no to inappropriate appropriated styles cut it all off shore boldness risk but honest but what are they going to do. like your grandma speaks snoop dogg's grandma front you dress. it's just not worth the

risk yeah you gotta stop it if you're no indian you stole it i'm gonna have democracy and elections and stuff like that tough the greeks want it back. that's russia's. really there's only one option that will make us happy segregate culture is build walls and stop sharing ideas or just drink a cappuccino in a camaro and see if that can take it. or the desert for me i'll be back in about thirty three minutes with bill for katrina stay with us you're watching the international.

global economy is so tightly wound that these sanctions don't work but the history because the supply chains are completely overlapping and what is the sanction of one country drives economic problems in another country that you're not trying to sanction suffragette sanctions a spell longer workable on the global economy has to come to integrate and too fragile it's too. interdependent. which is if by two things by his emotion and he's. in the long term he placed a very long lead he says so to speak

a. long distance runner in politics and that's the way the underestimates. come as one of the most. bushel products of our time it's a solid vegetable fat and it's very cheap because it can't be completely absorbed by our bodies lead to metabolic disorders and risk causing diabetes hypertensive diseases and cancer as conditions even so production has still be increased in twenty seventeen that is no peaked at sixty three million tons twenty times more

than the amount of all if oil produced that a rapid growth in international demand for cheap oil has led to the massive expansion of palm oil plantations which means the destruction of rain forests. in indonesia alone more than ten million hectares of unique rain forest have been destroyed and it's a process that just keeps going. so . fast

so. i'm well again i i think i would be yes i think. what if you get the. you know.

you look at the bank and on high that any. there's somebody. but i said at the end of the relay discussion we need a little bit to god and i doubt any more and when jerry brown when you're. done by hand on the lies you learn good data but we do under little more than like this i'm not saying i'm in this crowley but i'm going to get up and go with the gun and look at the disability uni again wish i did the. minute that are. calling me get that they're going to. go to me or. ban me i said with a good. cry you will be in then some again. back on.

monday. it will go nine year. house but it is. gonna. be. intense and sustained use of pesticides to keep our moral plantations free of weed and insects as poisons the environment making it impossible to grow rice vegetables . these are the main food for the local population. the seasons of the region have called the toxins to spread out from the palm oil plantations and they end up in local rivers which means the water isn't safe to drink so the best interests of the local population have been sacrificed to the meteoric growth in palm oil production and profit for the companies that make it.

a me. was outta me. yeah ne ne had the last of wessex e. he said you do need a lot are you young but i did them by the nice guy and now he's going to be a good day that he needed to get at the let me be saturday that he and they are. going to come down. most are serious as you can. almost see. i would have a little bit and. america. i would.

thirty percent of the adults in the village of someone young work on palm oil plantations the restaurant subsistence farmers. to find fertile fields that can be cultivated they have to travel several kilometers from the pommel plantations that are densely packed around the local villages. on our. skin under very. very hard. very. very

you know. but the be without my face and it will definitely thought i looked around . on them. so. if. we. are. the angry sunni thought and you got a lovely thought id if you google for a thoroughfare you are on but the morning that we. thought we the morning through i think i love the. thief on your thady and i know the month well after that the only. thing i could do about

that i down by the minute. and i'm down and i don't get it out of the idea. when you look around at how you'll get to the. one i'm with you still think i will got a guy i'll be out in the cold i used to have blood have and yeah i've shot fifty. five for the third without any for september and oxy friendly five. thousand or any thing he can get out of thirty that he. didn't look at but.

phil i don't know the man at the foot of. most of the people who live in somalia and jai i have new choice but to be a subsistence promise. to use. raba river fish to grow vegetables and greens fit for human consumption. a continuous struggle for survival has become the order of the day from the moment the multinational oil companies moved into the area.

so that by then but. i'm up on my nam and i'm up and about i mean scott i'm going with and i'm only a better one so we have a mass i would be ended up i'm going all up i'm going to double to be happy but i've been. told that the only one to be picked on black on me i don't know much. when ordering. the how to get to. the new guy up. by now. but i'm going up by youngest that i've got all the. money for the community. north america released. into new zealand says palm oil production is helping a national economy loosening industry and reducing poverty official sources point to more than five million people working in tom oil plantations and another fifteen

million in related jobs ninety percent of the world's palm oil production is based in malaysia and indonesia. moralism indonesia is second degree cultural product in terms of scale of production to rice. the little model more last little tiny little more than a thousand. retorted the born. into the duel. with the honey do you have you back on the time to do you need. to divide the will what about knowing what to do. when i. get up when i've. got back on the hog and not one of them or not is not the one of the. five. that i'm to get out of the.
