for the whole song while i'm gone. about the protests. in the west bank.

movement. people are also angry about the high cost of living. demonstration. the creation of a. british comedian and. a university. all. trivial. to be honest if you have to stop and go you know. maybe it's about time that. when your work. and by virtue of what you're doing this subject matter.

in this. graduate. program international we go. now live from. a palestinian teenager has been shot dead by israeli soldiers in the occupied west bank. tests after the israeli army sealed off the seat of the palestinian authority of this during a security operation. i. believe . i was told. i.

was. dozens more palestinians were injured during friday's clashes the demonstrations came off of a forty were 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 the israeli prime minister gave a statement on thursday vowing to avenge the deaths of the two soldiers. our god in principle is that whoever attacks us and who have a choice to attack us will pay with his life i really mean soon we will find them because from including from my colleague spoke with palestinian politician mostafa barghouti who 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 there is

a daily army gets out of our cities and if they remove the brigades kids and if they stop the attacks on 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 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 all forms of violence have been excluded and we have. to do 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 resistance to occupation i don't think it

would be a good way of mystical if we're to between the palestinians and israelis in the cigar do have to remember that what we have here is a listing in 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 thousands of palestinians gathered on the israeli border on friday in the latest march of return rally local reporter. was there but here hospital the casualties have pranced run it. explosive bullets rubber bullets and gasification 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 nell's trauma lost city as a closed military zone prime minister netanyahu or did what he called accelerate to

demolish an old homes for those who israel considers as tourists it's in yala legal life thousands of jewish settlement homes that were built without an israeli permit to own 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 store its own version of france's yellow vest movement taking to the streets protesting high taxes and the cost of living god. i. was. right that iran iran iraq i was. i was was. hundreds of people took part in the demonstration blocking off roads in the city center that 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 the city's cost of living. and look at what happened and from when they raise the fuel tax but here in israel the government is constantly taking similar measures in from the first of january the cost of living will become even trying but these rarely parliament members who have voted to raise their own salaries by five hundred shekels is that reasonable we want our government to take all these monopoles and older theo colborn ration and make a game that it's fair game i don't know that. i have the prices that said the phone to that one share everything they said this is in the ration from france i know. i'm. thinking. they

know. nothing. but they can see it meanwhile another saturday brings another yellow vest protest movement to france again with the rally now just getting underway in paris you're looking at live pictures right now it's about seven minutes. eleven on saturday morning there are paris plus one with snow flurries and yet the demonstrations are still getting underway this is the fifth consecutive weekend of such demonstrations of course some of which have turned violent there is currently a heavy police presence in the french capital we understand the armored vehicles are patrolling the streets several arrests have reportedly been made already with more details here's peter oliver in powers. it's saturday it's paris it can only mean that there are demonstrations taking place the yellow jackets that have taken over the french capital for the last five weeks are here again in quite considerably fewer numbers than they have been in previous weeks and that may have

something to do with requests from the authorities not to demonstrate this week following what happened in strasbourg. they've expressed their anger as though this has been heard and we ask you to be reasonable and not to attend any protests at all while the minister for the interior of france praised the police operation that led to the killing of the main suspect in the terrorist attack in strasburg we've heard from president comes to the only yellow jacket demonstrations is that more concessions could well be in the cards and of who it was because of this crisis i want to reconcile with you salaries will increase by one hundred euros and twenty nine and no extra cost to employers because 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 environments the pension is receiving less than two

thousand euro's the tax increase will be cancelled the reason the money will mccrone is saying such things is only one out of every five french citizens supports his monday to at the moment that's down from sixty six percent when he was first elected. this is the fifth week all of the yellowjackets demonstrations were expecting a little more of the same. i. was. such. a. touchy. keep cool he. was utterly riveting

never. cut i was playing. the to. cut i. cut . with france's yellow first movement spreading to other countries one place where you think it would get a foothold is the u.k. where fuel prices are notoriously high his party boy and how latest episode offering case you missed. in frogs people hate the idea of we all were coming more expensive but even britain it's been expensive for a year is these pleasant postures would never fall victim to

a laser on revolution or you have breasts would never make it here surely. on the street across the nation and silent is forming these anglo saxon liaison's are up to some playing. very. fast on them they appear peaceful but this army of finance of warriors paid to have weapons now

but became a key thing this revolution as. their interests guiding their bayonets and their machetes as tools and machinery. haunts me. oh my god there's another one. this conspiracy very straight to the very top. but france is a government in disarray believe it came out as tut. normal will be if you have immigration to minding them a. very vast revolution happened. here's your leader. to save them.

it is r.t. international a british comedian booked to appear before students was surprised to find out he had actually been sent a behavioral agreement sent just ahead of the gig the document was designed to quote avoid problems by signing this contract you are agreeing 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 constantine kissinger was among five comedians shared tool 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 homophobia they stress that while the topics can be raised this must be done in a respectful manner however the university's student union says that it does not

require guests to sign any type of form of contract before speaking at a vents adding that the organizer unicef on campus had been overzealous later unicef on campus itself issued an apology given the 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 apologise for the misunderstanding. the u.k.'s national union of students says it has no evidence that universities are dictating what guest speakers can say however there have been several other potential cases in the past where in the u.k. comics have been asked to either adapt their material or well stop their performance all together in twenty forty in the comic. so was banned from performing at cardiff university after hundreds signed a petition complaining that has showed trivialized rape and unprotected sex the

following year activist and comedian kate smyth waits performance was cancelled at the london university because of her views on decriminalizing prostitution so kate smyth when it came to debate the issue with media commentator lionel subsidy trivial for me to sign this document and to be honest if you have to stop and go well 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 well 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 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 on air i know there are you know in line all the same and so by coming on air of course. you'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 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 can please stop but you know we're talking about your you're being sold to dan to get 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 week 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 was 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 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 our backs keep it up you'll be out of a job in six months. coming on the program. a spanish court. mind

share that's where the playing field the battlefield of the furniture center so we're at war right now i mean so whether you know it trickles down to bullets and bombs and guns and stuff i mean that's immaterial we're already out war right now it's being played out in our collective unconscious if you wake up in the morning if you feel it was a massive headache it's because china and america are my. 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 faith news and jump 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 criticized then i think that's a problem from a communications perspective. it's sort of a program here welcome to kosovo has declared it's creating its own army toting small security forces into full scale military units because of course as a disputed territory in the southeast of europe it attempted to separate from. its latest decision cost left some parts of europe concerned as now explains 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 a 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 just needs a spock the self-proclaimed government there wants to appear strong escalate cashing in on ratings voters just love a good military parade where the cost of zero is the right place for that you decide.

the parliament of the republic. serbia which is sworn to protect ethnic serbs who live in kosovo is afraid very afraid that this new army will eventually be used to target its brethren ethnic cleansing belgrade says that this could only mean one thing kossovo doesn't want peace everything the president doesn't evidently 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 alliance has long wanted to kosovo to join the process is already underway and even nato has called this

move and wise. well the transition of the cause of 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 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. 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 jabot china and russia which support serbia and don't recognize kosovo all in all a felt safe plan sell the firewood sell the matches convince someone to spark a fire and then be there to put it out we discussed kosovo's plan to create its own army with political writer diana johnstone illicitly. only the first scenes of the us in their solicitor general will be there and we will ensure that means we

sounds like you used closer look your local war because you know it isn't be there with you this isn't. gesture to emphasize the toast of the status as an american colony because they say there is 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 crunch between serbia and percival militarily. closer and closer the army wouldn't have a chance so it still will 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 the terrorist itself to the united states. media organizations around the world have condemned a recent ruling by a spanish judge to seize the phones and computers of to investigate the journalists

on the island of mallorca saying the move violates the right of reporters not to disclose their sources the journalists were covering the case of a local businessman told of course such known as the king of the knights he was once considered the island's most powerful figure but on march twenty seventh teen he was arrested on multiple charges including bribery extortion and homicide officials say they seized the journalists equipment to trace a leak in the ongoing criminal probe now people working for various media outlets staged a protest right there outside of the court demanding that the right to keep professional secrets be preserved and a letter to the head of the state prosecutor's office denouncing the judge's ruling was signed by more than two hundred journalists but a spanish journalistic arceo says that if incidents like this one i tolerated and democracy is in danger. she said the president said a really dangerous direction toward your. freedom of the press

which by the way east is right and in our in the spanish continent article twenty. this might be some sort of warning for journalists who are really delving into into their years. because understanding one will to. some people really. investigated spanish unborn baby well at least a year are the very few years of democracy in this country. that just about wraps up the program for this hour here on r.t. international to in about half an hour's time i call it actual farmers here manning the helm with more if we can't top stories.

was was so thanks to our. little this is all the was. was it's. cool. how so. what's. was. was was.

was to. i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report there is a man. who well i predicted it exactly as it unfolded. so this we're not going to today look at the unfolding disaster in the u.k. nor at the one in france where of course has surrendered to the people because all presidents of france must surrender to the people especially when the word is on the streets that the farmers are going to join in no president has withstood the farmers well since louis the sixteenth was it or whatever back in the french revolution days.
