10:04 am
the last hour certainly what we've seen is the most violent scenes that we've seen this week so far we saw a number of people who were arrested you were saying around one hundred people have been taken into custody if we can't they can't bring the camera over this way or you can see us hold of the police that are blocking off all of the different alleyways that lead on to the show where i am right now betrayal is about three to five hundred meters up there over my right shoulder right now. this wasn't supposed to be like this it was supposed to be a much calmer demonstration it hasn't ended up that way clearly feelings of running very very very high but people were told in the wake of the strasberg terror attack not to get involved in these demonstrations. they could actually fix can you express their anger over this has been heard we ask you to be
10:05 am
reasonable and not to attend any protests. as i say it's a very fluid situation right here we're going to bring the camera around this way and what you may be able to see is the blinking lights in the background now they're. about said another three hundred meters away from me so i'm pretty much in the epicenter right now but what we're seeing happening right now is a load of people there were by the arc de triomphe they're making their way down there and then they're coming in across all of these police officers who are blockading in and doing what they say she would be called in the united kingdom or the united states excellent. procedures but then not doing those same kathleen procedures of here so this is why we have a little bit of confusion a little bit of some small scale clashes we have seen some tear gas supply we have . sivia tactics used to arrest people

i. live in a. i. i . i. i. i i. i . we will keep an eye on those protests in paris for you now there was a brief yellow vest protest on westminster bridge in the u.k. yesterday by pro breaks the campaign is but largely speaking what started in france hasn't spread to britain with an alternative look party boy cope with her latest episode of in case you missed it. in frogs people hate the idea of fieldwork 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 yellow vests would never make it here surely. on the street across the nation and silent is forming these very stacks liaison's are up to something. very. fast going on they appear peaceful but this army of high variance of warriors paid to have weapons now
10:09 am
but became a lucky thing this revolution and. their interests guiding their bayonets and their machetes as tools and machinery. can't fool me. oh my god there's another one. this conspiracy going to great to the very top. of the ground. is a government in disarray a leader of it being out of touch with normal people the issue of immigration to minding the nation. a vast revolution happening. here's your leader. i see there's.
10:10 am
no. party boyko there now are the u.k.'s side yellow vest protests have continued to spread internationally on friday television source own version of france's movement taking to the streets protesting high taxes and the cost of living. i. was i was. i that. i was. i was. well hundreds of people took part in that demonstration blocking off roads in the city center it does come to you after recent hikes and mortar electricity and food prices demonstrates that accuse the government of ignoring the fact that their salaries are not keeping up with the city's cost of living. that life was like oh
10:11 am
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 reasonable we want our government to take all this monopoles and all those corporations and make the game but it's fair game i don't know that. kyra the price is set to see if the folds that worked are everything they say is inspiration from. the. time it was me that. they did. nothing. for they say well for different reasons protests are also taking place against the israeli government in the west bank the rallies
10:12 am
a palestinian teenager was shot dead by an israeli defend defense forces soldier after the army sealed off from allah the seat of the palestinian authority during a security operation. i. was told. i. was. 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 but itis escalation started after two israeli
10:13 am
soldiers were killed in a shooting in a west bank settlement israeli prime minister gave a firm statement to avenge the deaths. 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. after that statement and netanyahu issued a number of security orders including demolishing homes of alleged terrorists. on saturday's ready defense forces blew up the family home of a palestinian he'd been convicted of killing an israeli soldier israeli prime minister the legalization of thousands of homes in palestinian territories and also an increase in the i.d.f. presence there earlier my colleague media today spoke with the palestinian politics
10:14 am
start thinking he says israel is using excessive force. how can it further escalation of violence in ramallah be avoided in your opinion it can only be a avoided me gets out of our cities and if they remove their 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 marches that are taking place in peaceful nonviolent all forms of violence have been excluded and we have agreed with each other almost directly to those comments to nonviolent resistance but when each peaceful
10:15 am
demonstration is messed with the israeli army shooting the people and killing of course there will be palestinians. actions that and in the form of resistance to occupation i don't think it would be a grave mistake to if with 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 their teeth. we mark the strike in prime minister scott morrison has announced the camera is recognizing wes cheery slim as israel's capital he also acknowledged though the aspirations of the palestinians for a state with its capital in east jerusalem a strategy of now recognizes west resume being the seat of the knesset. and many of the institution is government. is the capital of israel is trying the government is
10:16 am
also resolved to acknowledge the aspirations of the palestinian people for a future state with its capital in the streets i think both governments move is a should be seen as not as unbalanced policy as of course you support for israel and its actions won't that be much better ways for a state or to do for example what russia these recognize the state of palestine because most east jerusalem is the capital of this posting and state and then if you've lost a good night's rest you know muslim as that of the week of israel then we won't have a problem but in fact the prime minister was what careful to talk about the stimulus for a ship you know bart's was supposed to insert rights under international law to be used to resolve a unanimous security council resolution for that that is physical as it usually is on jerusalem itself or not those are doing guns and understand that israel has plans to take all of its tourism and indirectly with it trying to go actually
10:17 am
support this war through this announcement in my view. watching our state still had . plans for its own army may have won backing from the u.s. but the rest of its allies aren't kain it sings we'll tell you why just after the break. 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. you know feet 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
10:18 am
a problem from a communications perspective. mind share that's where the 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 and if you feel a massive headache it's because china and america are now more in your mind. again you with us hanging out of british comedian booked to a paper for students was shocked to find had been sent to behavioral agreement the document was designed to quote avoid problems and also outlined which jokes needed sensitivity. by signing this contract you are agreeing to our no tolerance policy
10:19 am
with regards to racism sexism classism ages i'm able as i'm homophobia by phobia transfer xenophobia islamophobia or anti religion or anti atheism constantine kissin was among five comedian showed up to perform at the event being held to raise money for the children's charity unicef university's unicef on campus society send or performers the behavioral agreement and stress that while the topics can be raised it must be done in a respectful way however the university student union has said that the agreement was overzealous and later on unicef on campus did issue an apology. given the unicef is a children's charity we wanted to make sure it was an appropriate event tool 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 with the u.k.'s national union of students seems to think so and says it
10:20 am
is no evidence that universities are dictating what guest speakers can actually say however there have been several other cases too in the u.k. where comics have been stopped from performing or their material censored for example the laughs he was banned from performing at 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 on prostitution well she did debate the story with media commentator line or hear an arctic subsidy 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 r my colleague here in comes on you say do not talk about this subject
10:21 am
do not mention the word pulled the kremlin united states trump 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 like i'm not as i am the rest of earth. raises a peek into me if you're hyper sensitive would you go up 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
10:22 am
anything that in any way is sexually gratuitous what does that mean look it up in a 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 or 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 we had here earlier not another news kosovo has declared it is creating its own army turning small security forces into
10:23 am
full scale military units the move has found little support among long standing allies with the us be exception gassier of takes a look now at why 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 our country. from this moment sufficiently we have the course if you 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
10:24 am
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 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 it does it all with the support of the us and britain
10:25 am
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 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
10:26 am
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 the felt safe plan sell the
10:27 am
firewood sell the matches convince someone to spark a fire and then be there to put it out. org as they have their world political writer diana johnston explains now what is behind america's support militias look really big zero me the first thing is that the u.s. ambassadors are journo will be there i'm with you wherever that means which sounds like you use kosovo look provoke a war because you know this will be there with you this is simply a gesture to emphasize percival status as an american colony because the base there is the little base it's an american base and and you look at his children there are american flags all over the place if it came to a current between serbia and kosovo militarily. 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
10:28 am
significant military it's simply too good to do it attach itself to the americans and the americans are willing to let itself to the united states. by media organizations around the world have lambasted a recent ruling by a spanish judge to seize the phones and computers of two investigative journalists on the island of new york are saying the move violates the right of reporters not disclose their sources well the journalists in question 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 of twenty seventeen he was arrested on multiple charges including bribery extortion and homicide officials say they seized the journalist equipment to trace a link in the ongoing criminal probe journalists from various media outlets protested in front of the court the manning the right to protect their sources more than two hundred reporters to send
