was was. was. an atomic. bomb. was probably. dozens more palestinians were injured during friday's clashes over the past forty eight hours is very soldiers have conducted raids in the ramallah area also making dozens of arrests the latest escalation started off the two israeli soldiers were killed in a shooting in a west bank settlement meanwhile in gaza thousands gathered on the israeli border local reporter. was there for us with more details. today in the thirty eight friday and a great march of return we are here at shifa hospital the casualties have friends

from live ammunition explosives bullets rubber bullets and gas suffocation as well as injuries by gas canisters that were fired on them this friday comes after today israeli soldiers were killed by an unknown palestinian who soon after the israeli forces in elster among the city as a closed military zone prime minister netanyahu or did what he called axillary to demolish an old homes for it those who israel considers as tourists in ya would legalize thousands of jewish settlement homes that were built without an israeli prison on palestinian homes in the occupied west bank. israeli prime minister gave a fiery speech on thursday vowing to avenge the deaths of those two soldiers in the west bank. sure our guiding principle is that whoever attacks us and who have a troyes to attack us will pay with his life i really mean and we will find them

gone from mustapha barghouti leader of the palestinian national initiative party says israelis using excessive force against peaceful demonstrators. how can further escalation of violence in ramallah be avoided in your opinion it can only be avoided if the israeli army gets out of our cities and if they remove the brigades barricades and if they stop the attacks of the settlers on our civilian population that's the first step but then the second step should be immediate initiation of a process of ending occupation there's been no apparent progress if we look at the last six months of the day of rage protests. is an idea to change strategy perhaps the palestinians have changed the strategy the palestinians have adopted the nonviolent resistance and the marshes that are taking place in peaceful nonviolent all forms of violence have been excluded and we have

a good. strategy that commits to nonviolent resistance but when each peaceful demonstration is left with the israeli army shooting the people and killing of course there will be palestinian reactions and in the form of resistance to occupation i don't think it would be a grave mistake between the palestinians and israelis in this regard you have to remember that what we have here is palestinian civilian population in the west bank that is totally unarmed in confrontation with the israeli army and israeli settlers who are armed to their teeth. kosovo's parliament has voted to build its own army president has welcomed. the creation of the cause of the army is the best gift for the end of the year season. under that plan kosovo security force would be converted into a combat ready military force it would have around five thousand active soldiers

and three thousand reservists however it would take at least ten years to complete that move earlier this month serbia warned that it might consider military intervention if kosovo went ahead with that plan i'm hoping we would never have to use the army but this is certainly one of the options on the table as we do not want to watch this ethnic cleansing. of course of our declared independence in two thousand and eight a move serbia doesn't recognize says the formation of such an army violates the agreements which brought the kosovo war to an end and russia's expressed alarm over kosovo's military plans calling the province a pocket of instability the foreign ministry accuse the european union of failing to support dialogue between serbia and kosovo and the secretary general of nato also criticized the move saying the alliance might reconsider its corporation with kosovo. well the transition of the course of a security force is in principle and matter for kosovo to decide we have made clear

this move is ill timed nato supports the development of the kosovo security force under its current mandate with a change of mandate the north atlantic council will now have to read examine the level of nato as engagement with the course of a security force meanwhile the u.s. has backed the course of his move america's ambassador to the region to tweets that kosovo must to gauge with its minority community and nato allies of its transition period they also pledged america's support throughout. but as a commentator marco gussets told us why he thinks the u.s. and nato reacted differently to kosovo's move. stoltenberg is trying to really keep a kind of middle ground without saying anything to anyone that's very controversial therefore present presenting this as official nato policy but the real nato policy is the one that the us decides because nato is a vehicle for the us to get its way in europe as it's doing in essence the us is supporting itself in the heart of europe as it supported itself nearly twenty years

ago when it did the original aggression by which it carved this quazi state from the rest of serbia so the us is using cause of war as a strategic interest oriel base of operations is built the largest military base since viet nam it doesn't have to ask anybody's permission to keep it there forever that's what the u.s. likes about the course of leadership they know their. place they're a colony and that's the way the u.s. likes it. house one joint hurdle off to another for the embattled british prime minister to resign may just two days after surviving a confidence vote from her own party she's now back in the lion's den of brussels she's looking for anything she can take back from a meeting of e.u. ministers which might win over her own skeptical parliament plan and a suit should get out has the details. what a week for theresa may it really was the best of times it was the worst of times you know on one hand she managed to plow through that vote of no confidence that

would triggered by her own party here in westminster but on the other hand she continues to be stuck in this massive deadlock when it comes to the biggest job she now has to get done which is bracks said and all of this while sort of jumping like a tennis ball from one court to another going from westminster to the e.u. back to westminster to the e.u. and despite all this moving around not a lot of results seem to be getting produced tangible ones with lots and lots of roadblocks getting in her way you've had a trying week. what's been worse. something of this week. one of the reports. oh you should believe everything you've eaten what was it what was bit more difficult was it in the malcontents at home or was it been the bullies over here negotiations like this are always tough the risk difficult times and as you get close to the very end then that can get even more difficult what what drives me to carry on doing this and making sure we deliver is

that this is what's right for the british people well though that latest hurdle was in fact in brussels bound but also back at home it seems that for theresa may everybody is on happy with something at this point you know for some people are saying not her deal let's now move on to the heart bragg's it others are saying you know lou. remain because things are going so badly at this stage others are saying let's have a second referendum because things are going so badly and you know we've seen earlier today progress of protesters trying to block a bridge in westminster so the british people that to resubmit is trying to do her best who are seem to have a lot of lots of mixed feeling on this issue and that in its own right seems to be the biggest problem that brussels now has with all of this because they've been saying to theresa may we need you to stop being so vague we need you to go back and get specifics from the house of parliament i will show a. second bush. of commons.

that there was a deep mistrust. when it comes to the huge social good for future relations. we have to bring going to reach this question of whether theresa may is too vague or not ended up being part of an exchange between her and the president of the european commission and ended up grabbing quite a bit of attention in the media. very angry when you respond to jump earlier today what did you say to him and did he admit that he had called you mentalists well first of all i had to rip us to discussion with him because i think that's the sort of discussion you're able to have when you've developed a working relationship and you work well together and when you use that particular

phrase even talking about the general level of debate i'd. prefer to talk to you over all. the debates. well whether these are robust discussions as theresa may has described them are actually going to end up leading somewhere remains to be seen whether they're going to end up being able to reach some kind of solutions or whether the u.k. is going to be launched towards a new deal bracks it's something that's increasingly being talked about remains to be seen and there's really not very much time left to see which one it's going to end up being. the u.s. has accused china of exploiting africa we'll have more on that story and more still to come here on all the international after this short break. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up

to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. make this manufactured to send to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round be the one percent. normal middle of the room six. million real news.

international america's national security advisor has criticised the activities of russia and china and africa so bolton was invading any u.s. strategy for the continent. across the continent russia advances its political and economic relationships with little regard to the rule of law or accountable and transparent governance it continues to sell arms and energy in exchange for votes at the united nations china uses bribes opaque agreements and the strategic use of debt to hold states in africa captive to beijing's wishes and demands. so as you heard their quote strong assessment of russia and china's role in africa

but i guess if now takes a closer look at america's own vision for the continent. this regarding that it reads more like a declaration of war than a strategy this plan is for the good of africa promises john bolton this coming from a guy whose boss trump infamously referred to several african nations as something that i can't mention on there the predatory practices pursued by china and russia stunt economic growth in africa threaten the financial independence of african nations and pose a significant threat to u.s. national security interest its interest in logic so when china or russia or someone else you don't like lends an african nation money that's debt colonialism almost financial slavery when america does it it's investment for africa's own good but if mentioning is that russia's trade with the continent pales into

insignificance when compared to the us or china look at this realize this highway hydro power station all built with chinese investment beijing is raising entire cities with more to come china is willing to provide another sixty billion dollars in support of africa to government assistance investment and financing of financial institutions and enterprises the phrase actions speak louder than words is entirely a political here the chinese leader xi jinping has visited africa nine times during his tenure tromp one sent his wife but what the united states might lack in tact it more than makes up with guns american troops are stationed in fifty out of fifty four african nations it has thirty. for military sites thousands and thousands of

soldiers across the entire continent and a long history of military interventions china has one base in djibouti russia has none american troops are there for africans own good washington would say speaking of which remember the whole chinese and russian money dad american money good thing well it turns out not so much our new foreign assistance strategy will ensure that all u.s. foreign aid in every corner of the globe vance's u.s. interest countries that repeatedly vote against the united states in international forums or take actions counter to u.s. interest should not receive generous american foreign aid john bolton they tease and gentleman man who unveiled america's new africa plan so much for financial independence africans good luck we need to move it to consider what really africa

needs it's not really want china ney's want a russian it's all us everyone china russia or all of france has it all as they can really country to number one the infrastructure development and also to gave technology to grow their agriculture and their manufacturing base that's something that command a moral high malice simply elegant the other all of this continent it doesn't really know how these people to grow their industry to earn better life just think of pounding to russia or to to china for some of the you know allegedly bad behavior that doesn't really help the picture so it is up to the africans will decide if. u.s. congress has passed a new bill that seeks to impose. a visa ban on any chinese officials who have

prevented americans from visiting to bet legislation requires details to be given to congress on how many u.s. diplomats journalists and tourists have been barred from the region it also says that those chinese individuals responsible for the policy will be buying from entering the u.s. if those barriers are lifted china's salon the move as interference in its affairs me walk. through been dual passed by the u.s. congress is disregarded the facts interfered in china centinel affairs grossly and violated the basic norms of international relations china strong with both this and has already requested negotiations with the us i must point out that. china center north and cannot be interfered in by any other country. of the director of the center for international business ethics in beijing. believes china is right to see the bill as an intervention. it is chinese domestic issue that is not there

to be exposed to extra no i intervention now done on accusing china other without sufficient proof all men going into the midterm election now you know they come to to finger to good to china over it's all on the mystic yes you are so that's not really rested on answer our legal basis and the moment to keeps that bit and to provide the opportunities to grow cross third teeth into bad top already so therefore china is now there to tolerate the meddling of another party into its own domestic affairs. a british comedian booked to appear before she was shocked to find he'd been sent a behavioral agreement to sign ahead of that gate q in order to avoid problems constantine kissin was among five comedians shuttle to perform at the event was

being held to raise money for the children's charity unicef they were all sent to the behavioral agreement by the university's unicef on campus society which forbade any jokes on racism sexism homophobia among other topics as well they stressed the jokes can be raised but only in a respectful way. now the university's union says it didn't require external speakers to sign any form of contract before speaking at events that the organizer unicef on campus had been overzealous and later unicef on campus itself came out with an apology. given that eunice the children's charity we wanted to make sure it was an appropriate event tool because we would never wish to impose that guest with have to agree to anything that they do not believe in we apologize for the misunderstanding the u.k.'s national union of students says it has no evidence of such rules back in twenty fourteen the comic dafa laughs was banned from performing at cardiff university after seven hundred people signed

a petition complaining that his show trivialize the rape unprotected sex and dehumanizing of women the following year campaigners threatened to picket activist kate smyth waits performance because of her views on decriminalizing sex work and the u.k.'s not the only country raising concerns over free speech in universities a study finds nine in ten u.s. higher education facilities restrict freedom of speech with a third of them imposing substantial restrictions earlier kate smyth weight the activist and comedian threatened with picketing by u.k. university debated the issue with legal analyst and media commentator lionel. absolutely trivial for me to sign this document and to be honest if you have to stop and go what you know what they're asking me not to be sexist how could they then maybe it's about time that you sort of thought about the fact that it's twenty eighteen and checked out what your material is i find it weird that we're presenting this as though somebody is paying sense of the fact is that by agreeing

to come on your show i've agreed not to swear on air and if i didn't want to do that i could have not come on your show and you know your other guests are bound by the same thing if every time you see a cup of coffee you shout i hate coffee it's disgusting or you won't be working in a coffee shop next week now let me explain what the problem is imagine if i came on r t. my colleague here in de mint comes out and you say do not talk about this subject do not mention the word pull kremlin united states trump would say whoa whoa wait a minute hold it we wouldn't say well those are the rules it's like yelling fire in a crowded theater or coffee in a coffee shop we would say wait a minute you're let me what i'm saying you can make your own decision about what is and isn't ok and they're absolutely things i'm sure that you wouldn't allow me to say on air i know there are you know in line all the same and so by coming on air of course we've agreed not to say those things are not you know it's not down to every comedian to decide what kind of stuff they want to do and if that means that

they don't want to play you know there are shows that i know where the comedians perform to children and of course when you perform a show for children there are kinds of subjects that you don't go near because it's a children's show and personally i don't do those shows because i don't write the kind of material that suits those events and so i don't put myself forward we're not talking to them not a question you can't define races you can't units of what he did say use a dictionary we know we can't know no yeah you know there are many you don't want me to carry like about you and the rest of. all maybe you really. please stop it you know we're talking about your you're being sold dandy good priggish above the rules and looking it up in the dictionary that's not the issue the bigger issue is that instead of us saying wait a minute what rules wait a minute why kid they speak no we're saying excuse me why aren't you abiding by the rules look at how we're giving in our first of all don't break the rules instead of

saying wait a minute he's a comic is this over eighteen what kind of a club is this i'm sorry but life's tough but i do think that the answer is that everybody is entitled turf and you know here's my radical opinion i think we're entitled to free speech i think they're entitled to say this is what we think the rules should be and i think everybody else who's involved in that should be entitled to agree to disagree to say well actually i would like a change to this is something you haven't mentioned that i find to be quite problematic i think that you know we know that there are always going to be limits in society about what is and isn't ok to be said in certain forums and certain platforms and that's absolutely fine what's the matter with us we're used to be tough we're becoming a bunch of little snowflake trigger of trigger warning then then heard and be it it's listen to what we're talking about a comedian but by the way if there was no rules or what the heck was he being asked to sign we are losing our sense of humor we're losing our guts and our spine we're

losing who we are removing our personality so keep it up comics keep it up you'll be out of a job in six months or back in the top of the hour with more global news headlines right now though it's a documentary called get up and touched we'll see you in a short while.

you know i work with school shooters for a period of twelve years and none of the students we work with in our syllabi ever went on to commit a school shooting so that gives me hope that if you catch the students early enough and provide the kind of support and mental health treatment that they need that they can come out of the crisis. oh. yes this is all the good.
