that's our show but you get more of my driving my new stand up comedy special that only we can call these powerful god i'm afraid that i think you've got to go through the hard look at what we're trying to the good guys this guy the good guy did. financial guy i don't buy any i'm on with you. know most of. us unless some advice from the future progress. i. best movement inspires protests in television with his writing he's also angered at the ever

increasing cost of living it comes as paris sees its fifth consecutive weekend of demos with police and some force in case of trouble. i. mean teenager is killed and dozens of other protesters are injured during clashes with israeli soldiers in the west bank and gaza also to come in the course of the creation of. a move this that some parts of europe so worried about a possible military escalation under british comedian sent a list of topics he's not allowed to joke about before an appearance he'd have to take is it a matter of respect or censorship we put the issue up for the. subsidy trivial for me to sign this document to be honest if you have to stop and go well you know what they're also not to be sexist then maybe it's about time that you sort of thought about the fact that it's twenty and checked. what your material is when you're

a comedian and by virtue of what you're doing this subject matter has peek into the brain in the spirit of lenny bruce and mort sahl and dick gregory. are there well can you watching our international this saturday afternoon she's gone four pm here in moscow now top story this hour another saturday brings another yellow vest protest to france but the rally just getting underway in paris this is the fifth consecutive weekend of demonstrations some of which have turned violent more than ninety arrests have reportedly been made so far today in the capital from there with us reporters peter all of what we see right now and he is a much different situation to what we've seen in the previous weeks there is if we come over to my left right now as you can see a huge police presence there really has

a ring of steel around the. right now leading up to the arctic triomphe course what we're looking at is hundreds as opposed to the thousands that we had seen previously what we understand is that a number of these people were told not to come today because they wanted people to respect and to. stay away because of what happened in strasbourg over the week. they've expressed their anger and this has been heard we ask you to be reasonable and not to attend any protests. now that's not to say that we haven't seen some of the violence aims that we have seen in the past there other parts of the city to where i am right now we understand that tear gas has been deployed by the french police that's been the weapon of choice if you will for there where they've been dealing with the jacket demonstrators we have to look at is that now apparent. the

only one in every five french people would support the policies of the money while mccall that's compared to sixty six percent when he was first elected there is dissatisfaction here it's very clear however today it does seem that dissatisfaction isn't going to spill over into the type of riot that we saw in previous occasions. that i was. putting

we were going to. play. god. i. thought. now there was a brief yellow fest protest in westminster bridge in the u.k. yesterday by probably break campaign is but generally speaking what started in france hasn't spread to britain with an alternative look case party boy kay and her latest episode off in case you missed it. in crowds people hate the idea of feels like coming more expensive but in britain it's been expensive but it really is

these tell as and paul says what i love all that same two way he'll asia will and revolution a rest would never make it here surely. one street across the nation an assignment in school making these language to heal a genre are on to something. very . fast the hunger they appear he's full of but this army upon even the warriors of paris to have weapons now but because they

keep saying this revolution as a secret then to die singing their bayonets and then machetes as tools and machinery. cost full name. and my god there's another one. this conspiracy goes great to the very top. but france has a government and this is their read a leader of it being out of touch with normal people the issue of immigration dividing the nation no i get a vest revolution happening. credit. for lisa. i see them.

well u.k. apart yellow vest protests to continue to spread internationally on friday television soars own version of france's movement taking to the streets protesting high taxes and the cost of living. i was. right there was i. was. the. hundred people that took part in the demonstration blocking off roads in the city center it does come to you after recent hikes in water electricity food prices demonstrators accuse the government of ignoring the fact that salaries are not keeping up with the city's cost of living. that much was awful and 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 really parliament members have voted to raise their own salaries by five hundred shekels is that reasonable we want our government to take all this monopoles and all those new york corporations and make the game but it's fair game i don't know that. the price of the legacy of the phone that was shared everything they say is inspiration from france at the. time that means. they think. nothing. but they can say well for different reasons protests are also taking place against the israeli government in the west bank the rallies a palestinian teenager was shot dead by an israeli defense force soldier that after

he the army sealed off from allah the city to the palestinian authority jury a security operation. was. i. i. i i. was wrong. i. i i. i i i i dozens more palestinians were injured during friday's clashes the demonstrations came after over forty people were arrested by israeli troops during raids in the ramallah district that itis escalation started after two israeli soldiers were killed in a shooting in

a west bank settlement the israeli prime minister gave a firm statement firing to avenge the deaths. our guiding principle is that whoever attacks us and whoever tries to attack us will pay with his life i really means news and we will find them. all right after that statement benjamin netanyahu also issued a number of security orders including demolishing homes of alleged terrorists. on saturdays really defense forces blew up the family home of a palestinian who'd been convicted of killing an israeli soldier israeli prime minister also ordered the legalisation of thousands of homes in palestinian territories and an increase in the i.d.f. presence there my colleague earlier today richard a spoke with the palestinian politician the stuff garton 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 there is a daily army gets out of our cities and if they remove their brigades to kids and stop the attacks 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 violent resistance and the marshes that are taking place in peaceful nonviolent are all forms of violence have been excluded and we have each other almost directly to 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 published. the actions. in the form of 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 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 the teeth well meanwhile the israeli prime minister scott morrison has announced that camber is recognizing west jerusalem is israel's capital he also acknowledged the aspirations of the palestinians for a state with its capital in east jerusalem a strategy of now recognizes wish to resume being deceived miss. and many have used to show his government. is the capital of israel is trying to govern is also resolved to acknowledge the aspirations of the palestinian people for

a future state with its capital in the streets. ok let's get the thoughts now of dr binoy kant marquees a senior lecturer at university in melbourne australia and a very welcome firstly we used to prize by this announcement or is it something that's been in the pipeline for a little while. i wasn't entirely surprised by the announcement but i suppose the issue about it was the angle it took because we were not entirely sure what scott morrison would say about how the recognition of jerusalem would take place we have to remember that this is a government desperate to survive leading up to the next election and so at a by election that took place in the seat of went with the just by the former prime minister who of course was overthrown in a coup essentially a party who by then leading subsequent events to mr marson taking over there was a heavy electioneering campaign that took place trying to court

a large jewish vote in the seats and when that feature of course the promise by scott morrison that there would be recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel however it wasn't out issue of whether or what shape it will take so he's made the announcement to the city institute that the shape of it will be sort of you know recognition in west jerusalem of you know that it will be the israeli capital east of the palestinians but this is something that's of course this battle people and people are still trying to get their heads around. do you think overall looking at the reaction we've seen that this will actually hamper any peace process by making this announcement will is there something there for everybody i just say that because with the palestinians for example they have their aspirations recognize some people might argue well that's a step in the right direction to. well that certainly mr morrison's hope that everyone will be pleased in some way by this and mr netanyahu will be thrilled that

there were select knowledge meant that you receive them is the capital of course with the knowledge by the straightest capital of israel. and of course the future aspirational capital of the state of palestine is going to also be in jerusalem but the problem is that this is second guessing what is happening and of course you know it doesn't tend to get to the reality of the situation which is ongoing disputes between the palestinians and israelis and the fact that they have to ultimately sort this out and unfortunately by making this sort of decision it's preempting a situation rather than actually encouraging the parties to resolve the dispute it's another intervention albeit a slightly different effort on the part of another state to intervene in amounts of that essentially should be left to the palestinians and israelis. has been an accusation the destroy. the international community because most countries they

recognize the statements that he made today certainly with regards to israel having west reach them as its capital is revealing that australia is isolated here would you expect perhaps over time more countries to follow. well there may well be in due course more countries following suit but it is certainly at this point a test sessler that australia is out of step it is a kind of alternative aside twisted version about of course the recognition of the united states of jerusalem as the capital of israel although on this occasion scott morrison is trying to have it as i mentioned at the start of having it both ways or not always so he's trying to sort of find a way pleasing everybody but this i would suggest is probably been brought upon him because of the situation of painting himself into a corner by stating that he would recognize troops in the something or rather in the lights of the wentworth byelection the spot of the heart of the electioneering

campaign there so to a large extent it's ill considered noble policy that has been translated into an international policy which has people rather confused to say the least it's also worth noting that the opposition party the labor party is also having considerable grave issues with the stance as well. fascinating to see that we've got to leave it there but to nice to have you on that let's talk to benoit mark singh electorate you notice the melbourne australia thank you. and thank you for watching we'll be back with more news just after this break.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on a lawyer. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. something i want to. let you go right to be close to see what the faux tree of the morning camp you could get. interested falls in the waters of our. first six.

welcome back now british comedian books were paid before students were shocked to find out he'd been sent to behavioral agreement the document was designed to quote avoid problems and nightline to which jokes needed sensitivity. by signing this contract you are agreeing to our no tolerance policy with regards to racism sexism classism ages i'm able ism homophobia by phobia transfer xenophobia islamophobia or anti religion or anti atheism or constantine kissin was among five comedian showed to perform at the event being held to raise money for the children's charity unicef university's unicef on campus decided to send all performers the behavioral agreement and stress to that while the topics can be raised it must be done in a respectful way however the university student union said that the agreement was 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 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 so is this then perhaps a one off for the u.k.'s national union of students seems to think so and says it has no evidence that universities are dictating what guest speakers should actually say however there have been several other cases in the u.k. where comics have been stopped from performing or actually had their material censored for example that the last was banned from performing at cardiff university after hundreds signed a petition complaining the show and the way trivialized rape and activist and comedian kate smith weighed had her performance cancelled at a london university because of her views on prostitution well she actually debated the story with media commentator like. 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 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 and my colleague here in 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 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 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 you know so what he did say is

a dictionary we know we can't know know yet you know there are many you don't want me to. and the rest absolutely raises a peek into me if you're hyper sensitive racism but that's not raises or yes it is no it's not so of use they don't see the homophobic i don't see anything that in any way is sexually gratuitous what does that mean look it up in the dictionary i'm not asking what the word racist means i'm talking about the context your application of it but i do think that the answer is that everybody is entitled to have 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 you're. going to let it go we're going to hear you the rules 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 jobs in 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. later he had his earlier now another new kosovo has declared its creating its own army turning small security forces into full scale military units the move however has found little support among long standing allies with the us being the only exception. of nato takes a look at what is worrying the rest of europe. 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 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. to go to. the local. 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. nation and kosovo should 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 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 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 jabot china and russia which support serbia and don't recognize kosovo all in all the felt safe plan sell the firewood sell the matches convince someone to spark a fire and then be there to put it out. what against every portion there will political writer diana johnson explains what is behind america's support when he said they're going to make their army the first thing is that the us ambassador said we'll be there with you whatever that means which sounds like a good use because of all of provoke a war because you know it is a be there with you this is simply a gesture to emphasize a cost of a status as an american colony because the base there isn't a nato base it's an american base and and you're looking for his children and their

american flags all over the place if it came to a cranky between serbia and kosovo militarily. because a causal army wouldn't have a chance so it still will depend on nato and the americans this army can't have any significant military it's simply to try to attach itself to the americans and the americans are willing to let it catch itself to the united states. what is your news right for this hour back again with more stories for you in the headlines in just a minute. mind
