coated steel bullets as soon as non-lethal the injuries they inflict can be severe particularly when fired at close range the forty three year old norwegian activist has been supporting palestinian protesters on what they describe as occupation of their land by israel now the israeli army told r.t. that force have been standing among rioters at the time who had been violent towards its soldiers it says it will investigate force herself says the palestinians are being subjected to violence on a continual basis i think it's nearly one hundred people have been shot ribs in live ammunition over the years. hundreds have been shot by these bullets that i was shot with i've been to you guys they've had skunk water into their houses but they're not getting any attention we are here to witness what is happening and share it with the rules and hopefully some someone will you know get some attention on them. the u.k. is that women's minister victoria africans are taking some heat after expressing

concern over the rising number of miners not wishing to change their gender i read in the paper recently there has been a large increase in the number of teenagers who are identifying as such and i think we need to get down to the reasons why this is happening it may simply be a case of greater awareness it may be that they see it is an answer to questions they are perhaps not asking themselves. transgender issues are increasingly being raised in the u.k. with initiatives being launched to recognise the community's rights one recent example is scotland's edinburgh university which is encouraging new students to wear badges with the pronoun he she told they indicating how they want to be referred to by the campaign is being run by the university's students' union is part of an effort to avoid so-called missed gendering however it says students should not use the term preferred pronouns emphasizing it's not a preference but a necessity we debated the issue with an activist peter tatchell and radio talk

show host john go on. twilit the purpose of these badges is just to raise awareness in particular to make transfusions and their friends and allies feel comfortable safe and accepted i don't think that's a terrible thing i think it's just a common human decency to become mine too i know that perfectly reasonable have made this decision what's not reasonable add on a minute where universities are trying to tell lecturers it happened at university of toronto of course famously with jordan peterson where they totally had should not use things like hello ladies and gentlemen hello boys and girls they had to fit into these new pronouns if they want to say today i'm a man tomorrow arm a boy the next hour my fridge freezer so that but i don't have to fainter i don't want to get into a situation where i have to change pronouns i have to change the english language for a minority of very small minority they are attacking my freedom of speech my freedom

of expression let's be reasonable if somebody feels they are you know being assigned the wrong gender they're in the wrong body i have enormous sympathy for them but we shouldn't be kind of i don't really want to use this word but encouraging it which is why edinburgh university is doing well no one is encouraging them and nor should anyone encourage them this is a call that's coming from the young people themselves whatever number of universities doing. if they have said people can change one form day to the next that's quite clearly absurd but here trans people do not choose to be trans they don't make this decision about gender reassignment really very very serious long protracted thought and indeed is often agonizing they face often rejection by their parents being thrown out of home and very high rates of suicide and attempted suicide so this is not a decision that a young person takes lightly and if they make the decision but they feel. that

there are one gender or another i think we should respect that i don't think it's a big deal to just about common decency just about being kind and compassionate to other people so i don't i agree with that but part of same token they should respect our rights to have a different view and when you talk about this this is always brought the thing about trans in serious charge it isn't because they're struggling with the fact they think they're in the wrong body that légion generally to the serious side it's aster when they realize they've made a dreadful mistake which is why the woman's minister or the education minister is right to say we need to look at why more and more young people are trying to go through this we need to look at why puberty blocking drugs are being handed out like smarties they don't know their own mind i agree with you peter it must be agonizing to needs time in the street thought about and they need to be of an age where they know that they are in the wrong body not giving them out to six year old

eight year olds and ten year olds and you know that sat name peta and it's wrong trans people are reality they have existed since time immemorial who are throughout history i think the fact that there are more people coming forward is because there is greater social understanding and acceptance the stigma and guilt is fading away that issue has been discussed more openly and that is why more people are coming forward an agenda violence trans but it's still a tiny tiny minority a minority that is no threat to anyone and i think we should live and let live and except that people who are different for whatever reason including because the generosity that they have a place in the human family. to germany where a mother's facebook video in which she complains about her son being one of only two kids in the kindergarten who actually speaks german the whole video goes viral that these two million people watching it or that story just.

when lawmakers manufacture consent instinctive public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. in the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean really need. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all.

get to shape out just being active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. now this is our t. international a german mother has sparked controversy by posting a video on facebook after finding out how son was one of only two german kids in his kindergarten in the city of s. and one of and two that is that speaks german in it she says he feels like a foreigner. in the copper mine is almost three months and there are twenty five children in my son's group two of them speak german the others don't speak german at all is it integration of twenty three children have fun with each other while my son doesn't understand them and can't find any way to connect with them is it

integration of my son has to adapt to them my son and i feel like foreigners here is that what you want to do your politicians is this integration that other children seemingly don't have to adapt because they understand each other and now my son has to adapt to these other children this is not integration do politicians the parents of muhammad ali or whatever they're called to do not have to complain. and she also stressed that she is not blaming the children in the daycare center or their parents for the situation later she apologized to her comments but decided not to delete the video as it did go viral. to have a commitment so of course i didn't expect such a storm of reaction i made this video at a very emotional moment i just wanted to share my frustration and never expected two million people to watch it i can only speak for myself it's a big problem in my city but many people have written to me and i learned that it's a country wide problem not just regional of course i believe that integration is

very important but my son has no put in a tree to develop he should speak more german adapt to our culture and it doesn't work when there are almost no germans in the city has set this group up and mixed the children incorrectly and as a result will end up with lost children no one speaks german no one can integrate and this loss is on both sides i can see it in my son. officials from the s. and kindergarten said that this is a special edition of a group created by the city due to the lack of places and other kindergartens are german they insist is still a common language and children just need more time to adapt or they were supposed to be uncovered solely from germany's left party he thinks that the mother should look at this situation from another angle consider it as an advantage for her son she has a very narrow minded approach and i don't want to judge sure but i don't know whether she has experienced other cultures and i think that's where her son who's going to this cannot has an advantage because he gets to know other cultures and

other languages and early age that an opportunity that she apparently didn't get less not only children who cannot go on this educators german educate just as well and it's their role to teach the children german language and german culture but i think children can also learn from each other nowadays in germany where not a country where only one language is spoken on the streets and where we only have one culture and one crazy we have all different kinds of cultures and in twenty years when those children will be participating in the labor market things will have changed even more and germany of course is not the only european country affected by the influx of my on tuesday hungary's leader and italy's interior minister both strong opponents of illegal migration i met to discuss the current situation and common future plans. so the current situation is like that there are

two sides one is led by matter on who is supporting migration we are on the other side trying to stop illegal immigration this issue is strongly debated inside the european people's party and we want to align to be accepted. we're asking for collaboration first of all from the large countries the countries that share a border with us like france the first person who should show his sensitivity and solidarity is the french president by reopening the border at ventimiglia and he can do so even tomorrow morning. i tell yourself you know who is italy's interior minister has already taken a hard line against continued migration and most recently a migrant rescue boat was blocked from disembarking in italy for ten days a sicilian prosecutor launched an investigation against solving any for abuse of office kidnapping and legal arrest into the accusations though saying he was simply protecting his country. independent journalist luke levey believes the meeting

between the hungarian and italian politicians could set a good example for the rest of the. remember mr orban in the last few years was presented as the elite duckling in europe you know the crazy guy all the fascist even by some of those he's very popular in his country and east stopped the flow of immigration to hungary coming from the east and the central theme in the meeting why don't very well between the two men i think they're on the same wavelength basically it's that together they want to try to stop the inflow and i think it could be stopped very rapidly if all countries show clearly that europe doesn't want any more of that language. at least five people have been killed and thirty three wounded in libya and fresh clashes between rival groups and local militias and al canny tribal fighters faced off in the streets of tripoli with tanks and

pickup trucks with mounted machine guns several residential areas were hit by a terrorist and shelling the clashes involve groups linked to the un backed government a done quarter has more details on the situation. if you've been following the headlines about libya you've probably heard a lot about post-war problems migrants human traffickers the french presidents attempts to restore order there except the war never really ended. in just two days of violent clashes in libya's capital tripoli the health ministry confirmed five tallies and thirty three injuries but that's just another bloody footnote in a country plagued by the instability of a post nato bombing regime right well this time not quite two warring factions the so-called seventh brigade and another group of hostile local militias they began

throwing serious firepower at each other on sunday in areas densely populated by civilians and the kicker they both support the current u.n. backed interim libyan government which for its part simply tried to distance itself from the whole mess we were in these gangs and groups that have terrorized civilians and residents there is no space. and despite a shaky cease fire brokered on monday the situation is still on doubted lee tense but it's hard to imagine how anyone in any country divided between so many political lines could hope for peace first of all three rival governments all claim control over the country there's the u.n. backed presidential council the rival government of national salvation and the so-called tobruk government let's not forget the various tribes and militias in libya which are always looking for a power grab and the icing on the cake is still remains

a significant force in the country just last week they attacked a military checkpoint killing at least four people with such lawlessness and lack of any power capable of reigning in the violence pockets of fighting have been bubbling up over. across libya this for example is the town of sabah it's essentially been reduced to rubble and although the ceasefire there has been in effect for over two months already people haven't forgotten the violence i swear to god and producer of the war it was a time of terror shells and mortars. one show hit my house and my family is now displaced in the end this is the outcome before you it is the view that speaks not me the houses are all destroyed no water no electricity some electricity and water has been restored thank god and life will settle slowly it wasn't too long ago back during the libyan revolution when we heard western leaders using those same old

promises of spreading freedom and democracy. you would get rid of a dictator and you would choose freedom. thank god. that would be supporting the people of libya build a future that is free and democratic and prosperous. in the seven years on from the west's empty promises and tripoli continues to awake amidst explosions for more than just one reason sometimes it's fighting and sometimes it's even fishermen using dynamite my wife and i enjoy the peace and quiet of friday mornings in our garden by the sea but the explosions as early as seven am remind us of all that is wrong in this country but it shouldn't be much of a surprise especially in a country absolutely saturated by weapons my whole house and my old windows shake

with every blast and i have to reassure my grandchildren that it's only people fishing not nato bombs on over again. wrapping up the program for this hour here on all of the international mall for you very soon hope you can join us and twenty five. banks. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be rich to . have to do like to be for us this is what will befall us three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. because you know provision i might buy going to what it.

yesterday's announcement on a potential bilateral u.s. mexico trade agreement that u.s. president donald trump suggested would replace nafta treasury secretary steve i'm a new ssion hailed the bilateral agreement earlier today. this is very explicit this deal is just sit down it's about intellectual property it's about market access it's about financial services it's about courtesy there there are there are many many ways that this deal helps american workers and american consumers and it's very important if you remember one thing they'll be more trade going on as a result of the steel. and while on a conference call with mr trump yesterday the mexican president suggested can a stay in the nafta renegotiating writing process mr trump largely ignored questions from reporters offering only sort of a we will see response to that then canadian foreign minister chrystia freeland is in washington today for talks on including canada in the nafta rewrite while mr

trump is position the u.s. to leave canada out relevant congressional committee chairs and says that mr trump is not legally authorized under this so-called trade promotion authority or t.p.a. to negotiate an agreement that excludes canada will talk more about this tomorrow. and for the second time in as many weeks the german foreign minister heikal moscow has called for the european union to move away from the so-called swift system of international financial payments swift is an acronym for the society for worldwide financial telecommunications the system has been used over the years to guard against money laundering and particularly to guard against terrorist group financial transactions more than eleven thousand financial institutions and roughly two hundred ations used within a message is said every single second of every day the concern of a joint german foreign minister is that the united states might be able to dictate which nations can use with that particularly keen now as the us is set to reimpose

economic sanctions on iran which were lifted in two thousand and fifteen beginning on november fourth of this year other nations like china russia and those in the e.u. which continue to support the twenty fifteen nuclear deal with iran which seeks to quell iran's nuclear ambitions what to ensure that the u.s. can't simply ban financial transactions with iranian entities and those outside doing business with iranian companies some companies as we've reported like the french energy company tow tile and the car maker peugeot are among an among others have already ceased doing business with iran for fear of having u.s. retaliatory measures play. upon them and while the foreign ministers call for european unity has been echoed by german chancellor angela merkel she has been cautious about endorsing a move away from swift and said quote we know that a swift agreement is extremely important especially on questions of terrorism financing that said new reports out today indicate the european commission is moving forward on proposals with an s.

for an alternative payment system to swift. for more on this and global markets a little london where we are joined by naive us law and the chief market analyst at think markets name thanks for being back with us what do you make of the german foreign minister heiko mask reiterating he did so last week in an op ed now he did to the german ambassador isn't it his call to move the e.u. away from these twist international payment system in an effort to be less tied to i guess the united states which some see is having inordinate influence upon swift i'm not really sure about how do we have so much influence given there's only two of the twenty five board members but be that as it may he's concerned about it what are your thoughts. thanks for having me but there is nothing new bosses make it it's the way the obama administration is playing the games in the white house i think everyone is very much concerned and that the u.s. has a position where it can dictate their currencies can't be just literally driven to

the ground through speculations and interest rates and everything else and they start sanctions can drive that countries to the grave so i think the evolution of blocks in technology was already on the horizon has. coined the new payment technology and recall in so many other so i do think that the countries like europe and especially germany which it doesn't hold any any longer good relationship with the u.s. this really want to move away from this system which is dominated by the u.s. but yes you said that's only to somebody the position in which the old. system most and i think now we are enjoying an era no one wants to rely on a technology which is controlled by one company what we do each will one country it's all about decent of eisner yeah i totally get you you know the effort to move away considering what the u.s.

president old trumpet has done and what he says he certainly seems to want to be more isolationist but boy that's a big order for the european commission to come up with a new program i mean there are eleven thousand banks there doing like a message a second on this thing so perhaps you're right name that maybe going to crypto based system is in the in the future and i note the angela merkel agreed that the with with unity of the e.u. but still has some caution with regard to developing the new program let's move to markets which in the u.s. have been buoyed over the last twenty four hours are related to some positive trade news about the u.s. and mexico potential trade deal but how are other global markets doing. one key word that i really like that she uses a potential. i think that's the key in that agreement right because the market is getting it a bit ahead of sell thinking that yes it is a done deal which certainly it isn't that is something that the traders should be

paying attention to but i think the spillover effect of this trade agreement should call the u.s. and mexico a trade agreement because trump instruction doesn't want to call that nafta anymore how is the positive impact on the global markets over in europe we have seen the markets moving higher and the move isn't particularly driven by one sector and its overall and it's a combination of all sectors which is driving the market higher base in all essence is a really good because this is after all the biggest longest rule that you have a seat you know some say name that particularly those that are heavy u.s. stocks and even commodities that time now to rebalance at least to consider rebalancing that maybe the u.s. markets are either topped out or about to top out one what are your thoughts about that and if they haven't people should diversify or rebalance where should they be

go and where would you suggest yeah that's it that's really an accident questions memo or to answer that question if if the markets are talked out in the us well i think there is still a little bit more room left to be yes we are coming towards the end of this bull run any but those investors who are king to have a higher risk in the high growth and a higher appetite for their profit i think they should be looking at countries where they geo political landscape is about to change because of the change in the politics and can change in the political arena so could you just malaysia these town where there have been recent elections i mean these markets do represent a huge potential and then some of these countries like pakistan become the part of the muslim mom. it's it's a great for even most is. guys goal is one. drew to a standstill because it is very much depressing because of the domination of the pressure that will be seen from the daughter index and it has been the issue of

winter but now we have broken a boat but i think where the geopolitical and said tenancy is in essence should go to the king at gold at the same time it's well to have some sort of a haitian put for you makes a lot of sense to me and there may be at all some gold kryptos out there in the future we always get stimulating and thought provoking information from you that's the chief market analyst at think markets name islam thanks name. and famous investor warren buffett's company berkshire hathaway is making their latest market shifting investment in india the financial times quotes a knowledgeable sources saying that the previously tech shy buffett's company is betting on india's largest mobile payment payments platform pay t.m. by investing between two hundred eighty five and three hundred fifty million dollars and pay to parent company one ninety seven communications and taking a stake of three to four percent in the parent corporation pe t.m.
