for common ground. the controversial mix of sports and politics is an old one here in the united states from jackie robinson to mohammad ali a colleague happening one of the basic roots of political controversy in sports has been an athlete's right to free speech does an individual lose their right to protest the moment they get paid to put on pads bounce a basketball or catch a baseball here in the united states in the age of president trump the debate over free speech in sports has reached a crescendo from n.f.l. players take a good meal during taking a need to ring the national anthem the n.b.a. championship teams are refusing to make the new all celebratory trip to the white house now this week e.s.p.n.

commentator janelle hill and the sports network reached a biodegrade meant after their relationship between the sports commentator and the disney own network soured after she called trump a white supremacist for his actions following the tragedy and charlottesville last year and suggest fans boycott dallas cowboys advertisers after team owner jerry jones threatened the bench players who didn't stand very natural and here to discuss hill and the issues of free speech race and pro sports a pro sports is author educator and speaker baltimore's own do you watch it it's. always a pleasure of you i want to start with your take of your hill yes but your bio no reports of the biology mutual agreement they both came to agreement it wasn't just been firing or anything like that. but was this e.s.p.n. essentially in a way kind of buying her silence at least from from there are waves like we don't want you here he bores we're just going to pay you to go away so first and foremost

us eli e.s.p.n. is liz you know i feel like they're spineless because in the political arena in pop culture we at least are include. in everything sort of fact these political commentators you know they don't want them talking about politics is crazy because yeah they're commentators but they're citizens as well so you know i think their attempt to silence her was i think it was really really bad i think it's bad for the network and it's bad for sports in general and i think you know people who are really into sports and watch the network a lot they know they have a connection with b.s.p. and so they do want to know about different things. in dealing with the commentators because their job is so personal their personality comes out in their work. but i ask you because this is the question i have that whether or not this really was a violent sort of a violation of our free speech so do you think this was a natural violation of our constitutional right to free speech or it was simply

sort of as we often say like do you have freedom of speech you don't have freedom from the consequences that speech is the consequence of her speech because of her platform it's definitely it's definitely you know related to what you said you know i feel like you know jamil here is an icon she's an amazing journalist she's an amazing reporters she was one of the best people that e.s.p.n. ever showcased so you know what they did was they lost a person that was very talented very very great for their company but at the same time. you know i feel like she should want to be there anyway because if you know you're going to try to move her around or you know or silence her or have her take different positions in the company because she said something that was very honest she could donald trump a white supremacist as he is like me admittedly he says it himself in his actions in how you handles it how he governs like you see it so i feel like if you disagree

with that you can debate it in a way that's respectable but you know getting rid of her if. i thought it was bad you know it's interest. because while she you know kind of came to the mutual buyout with e.s.p.n. which i think is you know there's members thrown out the windows for sure other good can you know it could be like six million dollars that she got you know by essentially paid out to leave her contract with them another anchor there are you know commentator there michelle beadle spokeo she's an e.s.p.n. host who spoke out against the n.f.l. in college football football's treatment of domestic abuse and treatment of women you know and what's interesting is is she vowed i will never watch the n.f.l. or college football again which them severely handicaps you know her ability as an analyst on e.s.p.n. if you're only should only go into the n.b.a. but she essentially was given a contract extension and then was assigned you know reassigned to a different show that just dealt with the n.b.a. rather than the n f l. it's interesting seeing how us being handled these two it's

the same thing as two different anchors speaking their minds but one got a contract extension to move to a show that more suited her and what she wanted and the other was a hey let's just pay you six million dollars you can leave your why you think we're seeing that yeah i would even go beyond race. issues because you can't be a network that's going to advocate for domestic violence. you know that's just as you know as you would you would like to think that these networks want to see you know want to be more progressive especially since their viewership is so diverse you would think that they would champion that but. yet the difference in those two cases is you know politics are dirty and if you're if you're friends on the ones who buddies with the network or if you have one of your employees is saying something that a whole lot of huge segment of the fan base isn't really trying to hear you know.

you don't get any rewards for being honest so you don't get rewarded for speaking the truth you get you get blackbaud and. that's why i said we got to champion people when they do you guys do all of the time and it's not it's not easy to be truth teller if you paid a consequences out of it but you know i champion both of those women for stepping up i will do that you know i will do that one of the things about. that i noticed was this idea that what came out after she had made. you know. which i think it's hilarious that that's literally that all of this came out of a tweet a tweet. less than one hundred forty characters on the internet and the whole world like loses their mind when he bumped it up to two. but the president. is on this you know his is sort of narrative on this is that we're a sports station we're not

a political station i don't know about. theory but that it's a sports station we're not political. that's anybody who's ever watched e.s.p.n. who's ever watched you know a sports owner any of that knows that that they don't there's a lot more to sports than just what happens on the field and they talk about it it's intertwined the history of sports you know like we were talking about muhammad ali all of these sports has a pool it's political whether they want to believe it or not because the people who watch it is us that are so diverse so do you think this idea of the piano is just going to do sports it will never talk about anything political do you think that's even possible to attain i mean you know the question that i would you know take from what you just said is what happens when you know a citizen is treated in a way that upsets of the athlete and the athlete this is to do some type of. political protests you take a lot of sports right there so are you going to report that when you see the le

bron james and his fellow teammates with hoodies that represent trayvon martin or brief t. shirts. to on earth going they're going to report that you want to skip past that and go straight to the game why are we getting so bent out of shape or is different sports teams trying to make at least for the national anthem you're not going to report that you don't all of these things it's one holistically so why commentators people like that's going to have to be people like we all do you know i mean thing is i have never exact i've never seen an e.s.p.n. commentator a male yes commentator stop himself from talking up. how calling proper neck and just a terrible you know a terrible player and that's why he didn't like they made excuses for domestic violence i've seen them make excuses for these things out of us a little let's remember some of this you know what up until just a few short years ago the you know you get the n.f.l. with the biggest leagues in the world you know getting was paying the military to

promote patriotism they wanted to hear about the military by the military that works patriotism you know and that was finally put to a stop but you can't you can't have it both ways you can't on one hand be like hey you know pay us so we will like you know promote militarism of the jets fly by and do all that which is very political you can't get around that you can saluting the flag is a political act and there are you know we've got to remember that standing up for the national anthem that's a political act you know so you can't be e.s.p.n. i don't begin to have a both ways now what's also interesting is before we go as i want to get this last thing speaking about at least practicing their politics is. n.b.a. m.v.p. pour more of the. stuff on curry wrote an essay this week on sexism in the gender pay gap and he talked a lot about how it has to do with you know his wife and his daughters and he said quote i grew up in a war as wife and daughters he wants them to grow up in a world where their gender does not feel like a rule book for what they should think be or do and he wants them to grow up

believing that they can dream big and strive for careers and a lot of and and be treated fairly and of course be paid equally are we seeing a revolution take place in the way athletes are stepping up i mean we've seen it now the bra. in football the copper nickel that we're seeing a revolution an athlete's and in stepping up and voicing their opinions more than we've seen in the past says about inequality yeah absolutely because you know steph curry took it a step. a step beyond just publishing the s.c. he taught a basketball with two hundred young ladies this summer and that is unheard of for one of the top n.b.a. players one of the. male m.b.a. players to run a care for young women that's revolutionary in its own right so you know i know some people from my feel like what he's saying is that enough for the mechanic is that enough but it's a great start in a culture that's extremely toxic where people probably encourage him to not speak out on things like that to not say that you know an m.b.a. should have a woman the coach which is should by no or not you know champion any of these

causes that are hurting people because you should just be quiet and dribble like. yeah you know you should just do that so i think he definitely you know these are the big shout out for that is hopefully we can continue to will forever and it's interesting seeing that i haven't seen politics and sports this going head to head or this inner twined probably since my dad talked about it back in like the sixty's and seventy's from you know guys holding up their first at the olympics to mom and all that and you know ya know perceptually the boxing championship you know not you know not going to vietnam and all that so it's an interesting story that's going to continue to develop do you always wanted to come on always a pleasure having you on the wife of yours. ok sue neutron stars are what happens when the core of a star dies they pack about twice the mass of our sun into a space just twelve miles across and as those gravitational waves pull orbital energy away from the stars they get closer and closer like you saw and then they

collide sending jets of particles out which then create this ultraviolet optical in near infrared light scientists call killa nova and those come on over as may be a way for alien life to contact us yet through so a study from yuki. physicists at the kyoto university in japan has and his team theorized that a technologically advanced alien civilization could predict one of these neutron star mergers and produce a signal near it so when we look for the killing of us we just started finding them we might see a message from our cousins from another galaxy to. because they could place it both before and after the events as as long as they were a member and not to respond to the aliens tax right away or they might think. they want to have been spared so for today remember every one of. the most everybody lives we're told we're not told you're loved enough so i tell you all i love you i

am tyrone and i felt the keep on watching those hawks out there are great but. because you know provision i might buy going to what it. has but i. think oh. you're so you'll hide oh i lost his bus because i just got then you gotta go resources you know doesn't have any problem on a month on those in person but that's honest i don't think there's been any of them . so i says you know what i was you know. you know just i mean my body i'm already but it was sped up out of me just a lot of media and even i remember the lord getting on with. their feet up when i

say i mean that he was i just don't get off on getting noticed but those were the old they speeded tucson's those people are going to respect i'm one of these but i was listening to this but it was one of these i will ask him i want my family fussy equal credible my just but that's already yes it will be and he thought of getting up there calling with you you seem to mean to carry out my thought aloud problem you just got to go you. know what. when you leave. movement who not me not a witch it's rid. of my walls from somewhere you.

came back to the community of. people we are based on the you know the road look at me all look out is over i will go towards him. oh by the end i was like oh no. that's. the life. she's going to local to save money doesn't that give us all that. don't. know we're going to this. it doesn't cut does it also i'm not touching my life. i see a man have to die. to gain this man show camera. roughly once the showed some leave for them. to.

suit your own cool videos and so on with the broken string of. going down more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. . the last rebel on terrorist stronghold in syria is surrounded as all parties to the conflict the path to what may well be the final showdown in the country's long. a palestinian activist from norway claimed she was hit twice in one week by israeli soldiers firing rubber bullets from the west bank. towns be a case of women from an. victoria atkins comes under fire from l g p t activists after expressing concern over the rising number of children wishing to change their agenda that and other transgender issues have sparked

a debate. we need to look at why puberty brooking drugs are being handed out like small cheats to children who don't know their own mind and people do not choose to be trendy they don't make this decision about gender reassignment without very very serious long thought. very well malcolm it's three pm here in moscow and you're watching aussie international with me the carrot great to have you with us this hour now the last stronghold of rebel and terror groups in syria the northern province of it lip is surrounded by the syrian army with the decisive battle looming civilians are fleeing the area the humanitarian corridors set up by the syrian government and russia.

and i also know that my jeep became in a tense one holding and since hostages it was cold in our counting minutes their intensity the force and some of this humanitarian courage to do is are some feature . of the game i am from if the conditions were dire there the militants don't let anyone go we escaped with just the clothes on our backs controlling ad lib is militant group taria al shaab formerly known as al nusra or al qaeda in syria the group is viewed by russia and america as a terrorist organization and has carried out a number of atrocities the group's chief has warned all other factions against

taking part in any talks with damascus our weapons are the source of our strength and thinking about surrendering to the enemy and handing over weapons will be considered treason. as tensions mount in italy of the russian sense of the syrian reconciliation phase it's received intelligence on the delivery of toxic substances to the province with the help of self-styled rescue group the white helmet too late to be used in staging a false flag attack russia has previously warned that militants are preparing to stage a chemical attack on gas d.s. has more on the potential escalation of the situation in italy. it is shaping up to be the end a last showdown between jihad ists and the syrian army it is the last remaining stronghold of islamist and rebels what's worse is the foreign power buildup in the region out of the blue u.s.

cruise missile delivery systems guided missile destroyers strategic bombers a re basing and dropping anchor near syria days after the u.s. and its allies warned that take action if chemical weapons are used by as sad as we have demonstrated we will respond appropriately to any further use of chemical weapons by the syrian regime and russia which is beefing up its own presence warns that it's the islamists that are plotting just that the u.s. continues to expand its presence of cruise missile carriers in the middle east which is connected to the preparations for another false flag incident allegedly involving chemical weapons russian reports of u.s. military buildup in the eastern med and nothing more than propaganda it's not true that does not mean however that we are prepared to respond should the president direct such an action the united states the nih is building up its forces but says it's ready to attack syria if need be the good news is that russia and the united

states are also apparently in talks to prevent any potential use of chemical weapons but the danger remains the worst case scenario an international escalation militarily the rebels stand little chance against the syrian army what could save them is a foreign intervention caused by for example a staged chemical attack syrian armed forces have no chemical weapons and no plans to use it when you go there is no military necessity for it to snuff and so the russians to assert that the syrians have no chemical weapons sensible people will know. used militarily useless means to draw the fire of three powerful countries upon themselves we have no information about chlorine being delivered to consider it as an invitation to the rebel groups to stage another chemical attacks as they did it in the east and that is what happened last time say the russians they staged

an incident in ghouta that led to a us french and british cruise missile barash against syria. these time what with the military build up the stakes and reask of an escalation will be much higher but it hasn't begun yet there will be a big conference on friday but chances of a peaceful resolution look slim the russian reconciliation center has been trying to broker a deal but the jihad ists remain defiant and worst of all is that there is many as

two million civilians in need live trapped between jihad ists and the syrian army if talks fall through with chemical weapons they used if this battle drags on civilian casualties will soar not to mention the danger of an international escalation and escalation is imminent how that develops we don't know whether it goes. very fierce in the form of a very fierce confrontation between. on one side and its allies and syrian army and its allies on the other side we don't know we hope that it goes as a twenty in other areas. like most recently southern syria we are faction leaders understand that this is a force that they cannot. compete with or fight effectively and they see if their people their cities a lot of destruction and death in that case you know people could go back to

under government control as soon as possible to normality basically as soon as possible and we understand that many of them. are hoping to achieve such a feat. a palestine solidarity activist from norway claims she's been hit with rubber bullets fired by israeli soldiers twice in one week she called one of the incidents on camera. dangerous for. a stranger if you're pointing there should. be you were asked by an elderly man if he could accompany him to get his car back that the israelis had taken as an economic shield so they had to sit in front of them there's nothing happening at the moment so we decided to go with them and

leave approaching the i.d.f. mian and with our hands in the air and the postilion man he walked a little bit faster than up so he reached down and we held back and i think you can see very clearly from the shouted that i got my hands near kill me and there's no one around me and they shot me. absolutely sure they shot me on purpose another person from crawford quadroon he was hit and i had not so long ago and he lost sight in one eye and news also unable to close his jaw i've been to the protests five four or five on four or five previous occasions so i knew they would be firing rubber coated steel bullets and sequence which they had before but always stayed to the side or at the back of the demonstrations and there are some observer too to witness what is happening. but of course there is

a risk when attending anything that's where the i.d.f. is kristen foster claims she was first hit in the stomach while standing with her hands raised and later in the same week while leaning against a wall shot in the ankle while robust coated steel bullets are seen as non-lethal the injuries they inflict can be severe particularly when fired it close range the forty three year old norwegian activist has been supporting palestinian protesters in what they describe as occupation of their land by israel. israeli army told r.t. that fosse had been standing amongst rioters at the time who'd been violent towards its soldiers it says it will investigate selves as the palestinians are being subjected continually to violence scenes nearly one hundred people have been shot with live ammunition over the years. hundreds have been shot by these bullets that are the shot with. skunk water into their houses.
