a busy day if your world wide headlines here live on r.t. international your top saturday stories in a moment live to paris but for the meantime. a palestinian teenager has been shot dead by israeli soldiers in the occupied west bank this happened during street protests after the israeli army sealed off of the seat of the palestinian authority during a security operation. i'm . honest i. think. i.

probably. thousands more palestinians were injured during friday's clashes the demonstrations came off over forty arrested by is ready troops in raids in the area the latest escalation started off the two israeli soldiers were killed in a shooting in a west bank settlement israeli prime minister gave a speech on thursday vowing to avenge the deaths of the two soldiers. good our guiding principle is that whoever attacks us and who have a choice to attack us will pay with his life i really mean and we will find them one from a colleague media tutor spoke with palestinian politician the most stuff about booty he says israel is using excessive force. 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 kids 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 marches that are taking place in peaceful nonviolent and all forms of violence have been excluded and we have agreed on a strategy that commits to nonviolent resistance but when each peaceful demonstration is left with the israeli army shooting people and killing them of course there will be palestinian reactions to that and in the form of his assistance to kill patients i don't think it would be a grave mistake to if we had 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 in confrontation with the israeli army and israeli settlers who are armed to their teeth thousands of palestinians gathered on the israeli border on friday in the latest march of return to rally a local reporter. was there. but here at shifa hospital the casualties have friends from live ammunition explosive bullets rubber bullets and gasification as well as injuries by gas canisters that were fired on them this friday khan's aster to the israeli soldiers who were killed by an unknown palestinian who soon after the israeli forces in no stromal a city as a closed military zone prime minister netanyahu or did what he called axillary to demolish and of homes for it those who israel considers as tourists it's in ya

would legalize thousands of jewish settlement homes that were built without an israeli prison on palestinian homes in the occupied west bank protests of a different kind were taking place northeast of the gaza israeli border in tel aviv on friday the city sorts own version of france's yellow fest movement taking to the streets protesting high taxes and the cost of living was . was . up hundreds of people took part in the demonstration blocking off roads in the city center it comes after recent hikes and water electricity and food prices demonstrators accuse the government of ignoring

the fact that salaries are not keeping up with a city is cost of living. was like oh look at what happened in france when they raise 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 three. we want our government to take all these monopoles in order to help corporations and make their game but it's fair game i don't know that they're going to have the price of their leprosy in the form of that one share everything they say i bet he says the ration from france oh i don't want to find a place to be that. way because. nothing down there but they can stay in while another saturday brings another yellow vest

protest to france with paris bracing for a fifth weekend of demonstrations barriers have been placed in front of the shops along the shores early you say to prevent vandalism all soldiers are reportedly patrolling the streets well let's cross live to paris right now and join us he's put all of us who study by what is well for the next round of protests peter expectations for today. well really what we're seeing at the moment is people gathering here at the the arc de triomphe where i am at the top of the show which is being the sites of demonstrations for the last five weeks we can move it just to my right you can see it is about a dozen of the yellow jackets the. the in the the straight as all of these demonstrations there they have come out that is despite warnings from the french authorities to say now is not the time it was. going to.

win as we know it was supposed to start of please please please please please go away for now. they're running aground right now. i led to the grab. express their anger over this has been heard we ask you to be reasonable and not to attend any protests at all isn't. worth or at ease have praised the killing of the major suspect in the in the shooting that took place in the terror attack in stroudsburg what we have heard from the money were on the french president is that he is willing also to make more concessions if needed towards the yellowjackets. of course and because of this crisis i want to reconcile with you salaries will increase by one hundred euros in twenty nineteen at no extra cost to employers over time will not be taxed and i will ask all employers to pay

an end of year bonus this will not be taxed and there will be no social payments for pensioners receiving less than two thousand euros the tax increase will be cancelled. the problem for money will mccrone right now is the fact that he's generally not particularly liked here in france only one out of every five french citizens supports him right now that's down from sixty six percent of the population when he was elected what we are seeing though is despite these warnings to people despite everything that's going on. they still willing to come out here on to the streets of paris on to the streets of other french cities as well and say no to the current rulership over money will knock off.

winter.

and with france's yellow movement spreading to other countries one place where you might think it would get a foothold is the u.k. where fuel prices are notoriously high he latest episode case you missed. in frogs people hate the idea of fieldwork coming more expensive but in britain it's been expensive for you here is these pleasant postures would never fall victim to a laser on revolution the other vests would never make it here surely. on the street across the nation and. is forming these the anglo-saxon liaison's are up to some playing.

very. fast going on and they appear peaceful but this army of high vans of warriors apparently have weapons now but because they keep it this revolution as. they had to skydiving their bayonets and their machetes as tools and machinery. tom fool me. oh my god there's another one. this conspiracy going to great to the very top. but france is a government in disarray

a leader of it being out of touch with normal people the issue of immigration dividing the nation. a gallery best revolution and i happen to. credit. who's your leader out. i see them. a british comedian booked to appear before students was surprised to find out he had been sent to a behavioral agreement sent just ahead of the gig the document which as i am to quote avoid problems. by signing this contract you are going to a no tolerance policy with regards to racism sexism classism ages i'm able ism have a phobia by phobia transphobia xenophobia islamophobia or anti religion atheism

also seen kissin was among five comedian show it all to perform at the event being held to raise money for the children's charity unicef the university's unicef on campus society sent all performers the behavioral agreement which forbids any jokes on racism sexism and have a have a phobia they stress that while the topics can be raised it must be done in a respectful manner however the university's student union says that it does not require guests to sign any form of contract before speaking out events adding that the organizer unicef on campus had been quote overzealous and later unicef on campus issued an apology. given that unicef is a children's charity we wanted to make sure it was an appropriate event for the cools 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. though the u.k.'s national union of students says it has no evidence that universities are monitoring what guests guest speakers might say there have been some other cases twenty forty

in the comic dr laughs was banned from performing at cardiff university after hundreds signed a petition complaining that he showed trivialized rape and unprotected sex the following year activist and comedian kate smith waits performance was cancelled at her london university because of her views on decriminalizing prostitution ok smith we came to debate the issue with media commentator lionel. 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 r t. my colleague here in de mint comes out and 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 on air i know there are 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 is 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 and they didn't have a language that i swear by and the rest of absolutely all maybe you really. please stop it you know we're talking about your you're being sold stand to gain british 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 and still to come here on the program your saturday program on

our spanish court is accused of violating journalists' rights after ordering the seizure of their phones and computers will lift the lid on that in just a moment. president trump indeed has has his 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 fake news and junk news because one of the foundations of a 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 perspective. join

me every first day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you. thanks for joining us on this saturday kosovo has declared it is creating its own army toting small security forces into full scale military units because of it was of course a disputed territory in the southeast of europe that attempted to separate from serbia a decade ago its latest decision has left some parts of europe concerned that goes

the f. now. we like to think of europe as peaceful conflict less a place where differences a result in a civilized way but this place is different. with this vote today a new era starts for our country. from this moment if we have the course got the talk. europe has its darker aspects ethnic strife religious divides contested borders kosovo is all of that it is permanently on the brink of a new war it's just needs a spock the self-proclaimed government there wants to appear as strong as collate cashing in on ratings voters just love a good military parade where the cost of zero is the right place for that you

decide. to. the parliament of the republic. serbia which is sworn to protect ethnic serbs who live in kosovo is afraid very afraid that these. new army will eventually be used to target its brethren for ethnic cleansing belgrade says that this could only mean one thing kossovo doesn't want peace everything the president doesn't evidently it does it all with the support of the us and britain is against the law serbia says even a military intervention is an option anything to stop this given that they would

have to force their way past nato troops permanently stationed in kosovo give you an idea of how serious they are on the topic of nato the alliances long wanted kosovo to join in the process is already underway and even nato has called this move unwise while the transition of the kosovo 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 reexamine the level of nato as engagement with the kosovo security force why would that be why would many nato allies be against this new army because it risks war in europe again no one in that neighborhood wants a repeat of the nine hundred ninety nine catastrophe no one wants to deal with ethnic slaughter with war crimes genocide and refugees that is no one who has

anything to lose now more than ever the government of course of them must engage with minority communities and coordinate closely with nato allies and partners as it begins the ten year transition of its security forces the u.s. will be there with you the united states has been added for years prodding and encouraging kosovo to raise an army despite every objection and why not if they do were american weapon manufacturers might have a whole new army to outfit. tension generated could guarantee an american presence in the area for decades to come and there's also a jabot china in russia which support serbia and don't recognize kosovo all in all that fell save plan sell the firewood sell the matches convince someone to spark a fire and then be there to put it out we discussed because of those plans to

create its own army with political writer diana johnston. when he said they're going to make their army the first scenes of the u.s. in their sitters their journey will be there with you wherever that means we sounds like you use cursive a little provoke a war because you know it is will be there with you this is simply a gesture to emphasize. the status as an american colony because they say there isn't a nato base it's an american base and and you look at his children their american flags all over the place if it came to a cranky tween serbia and kosovo militarily. of course of course in the army it wouldn't have a chance to it's still depend on nato and the american army it can't have any significant military it's simply to try to do it catches up to the americans and the americans are willing to let it catch itself to the united states.

media organizations around the world have condemned a recent ruling by a spanish judge to seize the phones on computers of two investigative journalists on the island of new york saying the move violates the right of reporters not to disclose their sources and journalists were covering the case of a local businessman. known as the king of the night he was once considered the island's most powerful figure but in march twenty seventh he was arrested on multiple charges including bribery extortion and homicide officials say they seized the journalist's equipment to trace the leak and the ongoing criminal probe now people voting for working i should say for various media outlets staged a protest outside in front of the court right ultimately demanding the right to keep professional secrets secret and a letter to the head of the state prosecutor's office denouncing the judge's ruling was signed by more than two hundred correspondents. a spanish journalistic an r.c.

a horde of says that if incidents like this one are tolerated democracy is in danger when the judge has not only said the president has said the really dangerous precedent for journalists along the three known film of the press which by the way is enshrined and i know the spanish contra little article plenty this might be a strong sort of warning for journalists who are really delving into into the media so others in spanish politics understand each other will too that we should really put off some people of really understanding to investigate spanish fundamental basic well what lobby for states year are that bury pillars of the marxist in this country. the u.s. has a role to ban cockfighting in all of us territories including puerto rico where the sport has a very long tradition. this

is an industry that three percent more than eighteen million dollars in our economy and also more than twenty seven thousand direct and indirect jobs on the line so we're talking about how distressful is that the economic situation in ireland but then we're approving another federal regulation without even consulting the people of the puerto rico or even the territories. and.

we're all going crazy everybody's desperate there are so many people make a living. you know they're going to shove it was down makes me very sad. i. believe to be a tremendous overreach of the federal government which was not supported on the basic needs of the time it's really for me is a troubling that the territories were not given a proper chance to even be vague this issue we were not consulted in the drafting of this amendment at any committee markup or as the congressional report and we're going to send i would become people to me an american citizen i live what i can afford to. put it meant a.
