i. was i. was. livid with. the ever increasing cost of living. weekend demonstrations accompanied with.

scenes of us arrests. teenagers killed and dozens of other protests. in the west bank. is the creation of a move that has left some parts of europe worried about possible military. british comedian his center. and appearance of the university is that a matter of censorship we put the issue. if you have to stop. when you're worth. media and by virtue of what you're doing this subject matter

b.p. didn't read it in the spirit of lenny bruce and mort sahl and dick gregory. all of the welcome you're watching r t international this saturday afternoon it's just gone five pm here in moscow now another saturday brings another yellow vest process to france for the rally just getting underway in paris this is the fifth consecutive weekend of demonstrations and some of which have turned violent however this week is expected to be calmer than anything we've seen of late that said the ninety arrested reportedly being made to meet clashes between police and protesters . was . there is if we come over to my left right now as you can see

a huge police presence and they really did take to the ring of steel around the additional sillies a right now leading up to the art to trail and bullets what we understand is that a number of these people were told not to come today because they wanted people to respect into you. to stay away because of what happened in strasbourg over the week it likely left it to commit l.a. to express their anger as though this has been heard and we ask you to be reasonable and not to attend any protests at all is an obvious now that's not to say that we haven't seen some of the violence aims that we have seen in the past there at the concert stage where i have 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 them when they've been dealing with the the yellowjacket demonstrators we have to look at is that now apparently only one in every five french people would support

the policies of the money while mccaul that's compared to sixty six percent when he was first elected there is dissatisfaction here it's very clear however that today it does seem that dissatisfaction is going to spill over into the type of riot that we saw in previous occasions.

because i. was. out of her her work. i. was. perfectly. and of course we'll be keeping a close eye on today's protests for you now meanwhile there was a brief yellow dress protest on westminster bridge in the u.k. yesterday by pro campaign is but generally speaking what started in france hasn't spread to britain with an alternative look his party boy and her latest episode of in case you missed it. in frogs people hate the idea of fieldwork coming more

expensive claim britain and some expensive for you here is these pleasant postures would never fall victim to a laser on revolution or yellow 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 on them they appear

peaceful but this army of finance warriors hate to have weapons now but because they keep it this revolution and. their interests guiding their bayonets and their machetes as tools and machinery. tomfool me. oh my god there's another one. this conspiracy going to great to the very top. of france is a government in disarray a leader of it being out of touch with normal people the issue of immigration dividing the nation. together a vast revolution and i happen to. credit. who's your leader.

i see them. there well on a more serious note you know levesque protests have continued to spread internationally on friday television sword's own version of france's movement taking to the streets they're protesting high taxes and the cost of living. i. know that i was. i. was i. was. hundreds of people took part in the demonstrations blocking off roads into the city center it comes after recent hikes and mortar electricity and also i think prices demonstrators accuse the government of ignoring the fact the salaries are not

keeping up with the city's cost of living that much was locked up i 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 with these really parliament members who 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 corporations and make this game but it's fair game i don't know that. i have the price of sacrificing the phone that was shared everything they say is inspiration from france at the. time for. me that. they did. nothing. but they can. well for different reasons protests are also taking place against the

israeli government in the west bank at the rallies of palestinian teenager was shot dead by an israeli defense forces soldier that softer the army sealed off ramallah the seat of the palestinian authority during a security operation. was i i i i i i i i i i. i i i i. just want. i i i i i. i i i i. i i i i i. dozens more palestinians were injured during friday's clashes 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 to avenge the deaths of. our guiding principles that whoever attacks us and who have a troyes to attack us will pay with his life irenaeus noses and we will find them gone from or right after that statement and netanyahu issued a number of security orders including demolishing homes of alleged terrorists. on saturday's really defense forces blew up the family home of the palestinian had been convicted of killing an israeli soldier israeli prime minister also would be legalisation of thousands of homes in palestinian territories and also an increase in the i.d.f. presence there well earlier my colleague neither

a cheetah spoke with the palestinian partition stuff to go to about this and 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 because of the 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 an idea to change strategy perhaps the palestinians have changed the strategy the palestinians have adopted the nonviolent resistance and the marches 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 them 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 to 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 in confrontation with the israeli army and israeli settlers who are armed to their teeth. meanwhile the strike team prime minister scott morrison has announced the cambers recognizing wester east room is israel's capital he also acknowledged though the aspirations of the palestinians for a state with its capital in each to research a strategy of now recognizes western resume being the seat of the knesset. and many of the institution is 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 stores i think both governments more say should be seen not as a balanced policy as a horse you support for israel and its actions won't that be much better is for instead to do for example what russia these recognize the state of palestine. east jerusalem as the capital of this posting and state and then if it wants to. rescue islam as that of the week of israel then we will have a grumble in fact the prime minister was quite up to. talk about the stimulus ration bartz was supposed to insert rights under international law to be used to resolve a unanimous a security council resolution for that that is specific as it usually is on jerusalem itself or not those were doing guns with understand that israel has plans to take all of its tourism and indirectly with it trying to go to support this war

through this announcement in my view. international still ahead for you this out because of ice plans for its own army may have won the backing from the u.s. but the rest of its allies are not so keen we'll have a look at why just after the break. you know world's big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats 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. will make this manufactured consensus seem to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round be the one percent. nor middle of the room sick. room in the real news room. welcome back now british comedian got to pay before students were shocked to find out he'd been sent a behavioral agreement document was designed to quote avoid problems and outlined 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 constant thing kissin was among five comedian show jewel to perform at the event being held to raise money for the children's charity unicef university's unicef on campus asyut i sent 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 the agreement was overzealous and later on yourself on campus also issued an apology. given that unicef is a children's charity we wanted to make sure it was an appropriate event for 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 perhaps then

just 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 can actually say however that said there have been several of the cases in the u.k. where comics have been stopped from performing or actually had their material censored here's a couple of them laughs was banned from performing at a cardiff university after hundreds signed a petition complaining his show trivialized rape and then the activist and comedian kate smith wait had her performance cancelled at a london university because of her views of prostitution she debated the story with media commentator line it's 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 check 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. my colleague here in comes out and you say oh do not talk about this subject do not mention the word pull 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 when i talk is not a question you can't define races you can't did yes. units of what i don't hear and say use a dictionary we love no we can't no no yeah you know i have many you don't want me to carry. on and the rest of earth. 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 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 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 you're saying no to saying can i let it go i'll get out of here should be 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 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. like you had. in other news today

kosovo has declared it is 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 but again a sea of looks at why now most of europe is concerned. we like to think of europe as peaceful conflict less a place where differences a result of that 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. 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 costs of zero doesn't one piece 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 permanent least. 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 all 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 and these 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 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 a ghastly of their will political writer diana johnston explains what is behind america's support. let me set the equation makes the army the first scenes that the u.s. ambassadors to their journey will be there with you whatever that means which sounds like a good use cause of a little provoke a war because you know it is a be there with you this is simply a gesture to emphasize the toss of the status as an american colony because the base there isn't a nato base it's an american base and and you look at who has children there are american flags all over the place if it came to a crank between serbia and kosovo militarily. of course a course of the army wouldn't have a chance so it's still 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 it catch itself to the united states. funny to a story that suffered a sea feathers because the u.s. congress has voted to ban cockfighting in all its territories including puerto rico where it's been a longstanding tradition. that . this is an industry that represents more than eight hundred million dollars in our economy and also more than twenty seven thousand direct and indirect jobs on the

island so we're talking about how distressed for the comic situation in that island but then we are approving another federal regulation without even consulting the people of the puerto rico or even a territory. we're all going crazy everybody is desperate there are so many people that make a living off this. you know they're going to shut it all down it makes me very sad i . i believe that to be a tremendous overreach of the federal government which has not supported all the

basic needs of the time it's right. for me is a troubling that the territories were not given a proper chance for even be paid this issue we were not consulted in the drafting of this amendment or any committee markup or congressional portis and we are rich and i represent three point two million americans see this is an island but i can vote in this. i. this is not the first time something like this is happening i don't think there's enough resistance from the representatives of us overseas territories this is just a direct suppression of the traditions the common people enjoy here in puerto rico question we could does not have any voting members in the u.s. congress we have no one who can defend the interests of the island the government to puerto rican has approved almost no bills to defend this industry on the island that's why we're seeing an ever growing dependence of the island on the united

states and i know in the american streets like a colony this is nothing less than a legal dictatorship imposed by the u.s. congress on question rico this tradition of court fighting has existed since the sixteenth century people of puerto rico will continue to do this one way or another legitimately will convert only. that's how the news is looking at so far today in the mini screen there we're keeping an eye on the paris protests for you will have the latest from the french capital. going to come for walter jones came in to. the person who will. take us back. to push. the system but what's going to happen when you go for. you know you lost.

your good fortune just creature. comforts to your prostate it could. cost the money because. nobody should retire if you're going underground is the twenty eight western economic catastrophe ten years on catalyzes unarguable european.
