just on. the topic. was probably. dozens more palestinians were injured during friday's clashes over the past forty eight hours the israeli soldiers have conducted raids in the ramallah area also making dozens of arrests the latest escalation started after two israeli soldiers were killed in a shooting in a west bank settlement in one in gaza thousands gathered on the israeli border local reporter. was there for us today in the thirty eight friday in the great march of return we are here at shifa hospital the casualties have friends from life ammunition explosives bullets rubber bullets and gas suffocation as well as

injuries by gas canisters to clear fired on them this friday comes after today israeli soldiers were killed by an unknown palestinian who soon after the israeli forces in nell's trauma less city 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 and the israeli prime minister gave a fiery speech on thursday vying to avenge the deaths of the two soldiers in the west bank. our guiding principle is that whoever attacks us and who have a choice to attack us will pay with his life i really means know this and we will find them. according to the earlier spoke with a palestinian politician mustapha barghouti he says israel's 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 and there's been no apparent progress if we look at the last six months of the day of rage protests. is it 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 and 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 to that and in the form of resistance

to occupation i don't think it would be a grave mistake if we're to 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 an armed. kosovo's parliament has voted to build its own army president has welcomed the move the creation of the course of our army is the best gift for the end of the year season. under the plan kosovo security force would be converted into a combat ready military force it would have five thousand active soldiers and three thousand reservists however it would take at least ten years to complete this move earlier this month serbia warned that it might consider military intervention if course of i went ahead with the plans 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 kosovo declared independence back in two thousand and

eight a move serbia doesn't recognize serbia says the formation of such an army violates the agreements which brought the course of a war to an end 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 cooperation with course of a. 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 i mean while the united states has backed the course of those move america's ambassador to the region has tweeted that kosovo must engage with its

minority community and nato allies in its transition period and also pledged america's support throughout political writer diana johnston says the creation of a kosovo army would increase u.s. influence over the province. elizabeth the little big zero me the first thing is that the u.s. ambassador's their journey will be there with you wherever that means which sounds like a good use cursive a little provoke a war because you know it is will be there with you this is simply a gesture to emphasize percival status as an american colony because the base there isn't a little base it's an american base and and you look and to his children there are american flags all over the place. if it came to a crank or two in serbia and kosovo militarily. because

a causal army wouldn't have a chance so it's still all depend on nato and the american army it can't have any significant military it's simply to try to attach itself to the americans and the americans are willing to let terrorists itself to the united states. and nothing about it i mean they've violated every possible world if we go back to the beginning one of the agreement was that the kosovo liberation army which was known only an interest in this was this brittle who would know and become an army but that's exactly what it's doing because her you know it's a perfect country now it's the same people. you k. it's one after another for the embattled prime minister to resign just two days and surviving a confidence vote from our own party he is now back in the lion's den of brussels

because that's what we're looking for anything she can take back from meeting of e.u. ministers which might win over skeptical parliament breaks a plan and as i say i took an hour has more detail. what a week four to resubmit 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 it's 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 worst. that something of this week. one of the reports. you should believe everything you reason

what was it was. the malcontents at home or was it been the bullies over here negotiations like this are always tough the risk difficult times as you get close to the very end and 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 two recent 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 bracks it others are saying you know let's 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 recently is trying to do her

best who are seem to have a lot so 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. in 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. second. to the edge of commons. that there was a deep mistrust. when it comes to the huge. issues for future relations. we have to bring don't do time which 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.

he looks very angry when you respond to something earlier today what did you say to him and did he admit that he had called you mentalists well first of all i had a robust 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 when you use that particular phrase even talking about the general level of debate i'd. prefer to hear to do 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 us as accused china of exploiting the african continent but i warn

that story and others still to come after the break. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten thousand dollars fine tamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent slice last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar

a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember in one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. swati international america's national security adviser has criticized the activities of russia and china in africa so bolton was unveiling a new u.s. strategy for the continent across the continent russia advances its political and economic relationships with little regard to the rule of law are accountable and transparent governance it continues to sell arms and energy in exchange for votes

at the united nations. china uses broad's opaque agreements and the strategic use of debt to hold states in africa captive to beijing's wishes and demands a quite candid reference from some bolt on china's role in africa if it takes a closer look now at america's own vision for the continent. this regarding that it reads more like a declaration of war than a strategy and this plan is for the good of the 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 well for 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 four 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 african's 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 us foreign aid in every corner of the globe advances 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 does 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 what 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 no simply elegant the other all out of this continent it doesn't really know how these people to grow their industry to earn better life just think of ponting 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 they were off. the yellow vest protests have erupted again but this time a long way from france where it all began israelis have been voicing their anger over high taxes and soaring living costs. thank you we want her want to thank you our thank you thank you our. hundreds of people took to the streets of tel aviv on friday they blocked off roads in the city center this comes after a recent. electricity and food prices as well the cost of living in tel aviv is now

one of the highest in the world salaries though have failed to keep up demonstrators accuse the government of ignoring the problem. imo look at what happened in france when they raised the fuel tax but here in israel the government is constantly taking similar measures and from the first of january the cost of living will become even higher but these rarely parliament members have voted to raise their own salaries by five hundred shekels is that reasonable we want our government to take all these monopoles in order to help corporations and make game but it's fair game i don't know that. right now if they let the folds that one share everything. is in the ration. oh god i'm. a hard. nut. but they. meanwhile paris is bracing for

a fifth weekend of yellow vests riots barriers are being placed in front of the stores on the chandeliers a burnt vandalism and looting soldiers patrolling the streets the demonstrations in france started a month ago in response to roy's response against a fuel tax hike a snowball into the worst civil unrest the country has seen since the one nine hundred sixty eight six people have died in the riots more than fourteen hundred have been injured. a british comedian booked to appear before students was shocked to find have been sent a behavioral agreement signed ahead of the gig in order to avoid problems constantine kissin was among five comedians shuttle to perform at the event it was being held to raise my. for the children's charity unicef they were all sent a behavioral agreement by the university's unicef on a campus society which forbids any jokes on racism sexism and homophobia among

others they stressed the topics can be raised but only in a respectful way. the university's union says it didn't require external speakers to sign any form of contract before speaking at events and that the organization unicef on campus had been overzealous later unicef on campus itself came out with an explanation given the units the visit children's charity we wanted to make sure it was an appropriate eventful 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 student union rules back in twenty fourteen the comic darpa largess was banned from performing at cardiff university after seven hundred people signed a petition complaining that his show trivialize the right project and dehumanizing of women the following year campaigners threatened to picket activist kate smyth words performance because of her views on decriminalizing sex work in the u.k.

isn't 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 this month wait activist and comedian threatened with picketing by u.k. university discuss the issue with legal analyst and media commentator lionel. the 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 when 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

our t.v. and my colleague here in comes on you say do not talk about this subject do not mention the word putin kremlin united states trump we 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. now 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 define units of what he did say use a dictionary we love no we can't no no yeah you know i have many you don't want me to. and the rest absolutely all maybe you will please stop but you know we're talking about your you're being so 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 to 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 heard. and b. it's listen to what we're talking about a comedian 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 our backs keep it up you'll be out of a job in six months. from the team of myself or the sol join us again in thirty

five minutes for the latest global news headlines up next though boom bust. imagine being six thirty five and you have a career and a career involves using your i phone in your computer and things like that in an office. perhaps you sort of getting headaches or kids' t.v. you could have to stop doing all this i mean this is how you live the minutes must be from my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up running it in a box. around it a very strong magnetic field on my head in my head. think of it like a real hard pressure my skin burns and that wireless access point there just continues on saying with our students in the schools. we are just continually

bathing our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electro small and it's getting worse. in our work with potential school shooters for a period of twelve years and none of the students who we work with in our facility the syllabi ever went on to commit a school shooting so that gives me hope that if you catch the students early enough or provide the kind of support and mental health treatment that they need but they can come out of the crisis. prosecution will need to become almost. equal where you push. this thread you'll find. somebody known to us you do i mean jani i mean political pressure. in the.

business models used by american corporations. and move solution. to. an investigative documentary. ghost war. president trump indeed has has he's way of communicating but you have to hand it to him but sometimes it's better to try and shake up the established way of doing things in order to come to a different conclusion i think what's worrying is this focus on you know fate news and junk news because one of the. democracy has to be the trust in news

facts and information and if that trust is fundamentally shaken and the independent media all criticized then i think that that's a problem from a communications for specter. this is a poem both broadcasting a well known world and covering the world of business and finance and the impact for all of us on.
