1:09 pm
comes after a recent hikes in water electricity and food prices demonstrators accuse the government of trying to ignore the fact that salaries are not keeping up with the city's cost of living. i must go and look at what happened in france when the 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 these monopoles and all those corporations and make game but it's fair game i don't know that. the price of. the phone that works or everything they say are various reasons the ration from zero zero zero zero i'm ok let me. say this was. nothing. more they
1:10 pm
can see protests are also taking place against the israeli government in the west bank at the rallies a palestinian teenager was shot dead by an israeli defense forces soldier after the army sailed off from allah the seat of the palestinian authority during a secure. operation. was. i. was. going to talk. was my dozens more palestinians were injured during friday's clashes
1:11 pm
the demonstrations came after over forty people were arrested by israeli troops during raids in the ramallah area the latest escalation started after two israeli soldiers were killed in a shooting in a west bank settlement the israeli prime minister gave a firm statement vowing to avenge the deaths. oh god in 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. right after that statement benjamin netanyahu issued a number of security orders including demolishing homes of alleged terrorists. on saturday israeli defense forces blew up the family home of a palestinian who had been convicted of killing an israeli soldier the israeli prime minister also ordered the legislation of files of holes in palestinian
1:12 pm
territories and an increase in the i.d.f. presence there i spoke with a palestinian politician with 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 a avoided if there is an early army gets out of our cities and if they remove their brigades to kids and stop attacks on the settlers when our civilian population that's the first step but then the second step should be immediate initiation of a process of 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 the marshes that are taking place in peaceful nonviolent all forms
1:13 pm
of violence have been excluded and we have. almost directly to that commits to nonviolent resistance but when each peaceful demonstration is messed with the israeli army shooting the people and killing of course there will be palestinian reactions and. 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. meanwhile the australian prime minister scott morrison has announced that canada is recognizing west jerusalem as israel's capital he also acknowledge the aspirations of the palestinians for a state with its capital in east jerusalem a strategy of now recognizes western resume being the seat of the knesset. and many
1:14 pm
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 streets i think the government's move is a should be seen as not as a balanced policy as of course you support for israel and its actions won't that be much better is for a state to do for example what russia these recognize the state of palestine. east jerusalem as the capital at least for the student state and then if it wants to could not just you know islam has that we've got the israel then we will have a problem in fact the prime minister plot to go forward to talk about the stimulus for racial balance was supposed to do and said right under international law to use troops on unanimous a security council resolution for that that is specific positions on jerusalem and some from those who do that the standard israel has plans to take all of its
1:15 pm
tourism and indirectly trying to go actually support this move through this announcement in my view. has declared it's creating its own army turning small security forces into full scale military units the move how about has found little support among longstanding allies with the us being the only exception what caused death takes a look at why most of europe is concerned. 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.
1:16 pm
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 parliament of the republic. serbia which is sworn to protect ethnic serbs who live in kosovo is afraid very afraid that this
1:17 pm
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 u.s. 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 alliance has long wanted the 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
1:18 pm
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 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
1:19 pm
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 that fell save plan sell the firewood sell the matches convince someone to spark a fire and then be there to put it out. political writer diana johnson explains what is behind america's support. makes the army the first thing is that the u.s. ambassadors. will be there with you wherever 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. 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 his children there are american flags all over the place if it came to
1:20 pm
a crank between serbia and kosovo militarily. cause a causal 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 teched itself to the united states a british comedian sent a list of topics he's not allowed to cover ahead of his cake at a university wellhead debate on this issue after the short break.
1:21 pm
1:22 pm
welcome back to the program a british comedian booked to appear before students was shocked to find he had been sent a behavioral agreement the document was designed to quote a void problems and i blind which jokes needed sensitivity by signing this contract you are agreeing to a no tolerance policy with regards to racism sexism classism ages i'm able as i'm homophobia by phobia transphobia xenophobia islamophobia or anti religion or anti atheism. constantine kissin was among five comedians showed jewel 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 and stress that while the topics can be raised it must be done in a respectful way. however the university student union said the agreement was
1:23 pm
overzealous and later unicef on campus issued an apology. given the 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 guests would have to agree to anything that they do not believe in we apologize for the misunderstanding so is this a one off the u.k.'s national union of students seems to think so and says it has no evidence universities are dictating what guest speakers can say however there are been several other cases in the u.k. where comics have been stopped from performing or had their material censored laughs was banned from performing at cardiff university after hundreds signed a petition complaining his show trivialized rape and activist and community and kate smith late had her performance cancelled at a london university because of her views on prostitution she debated the story with commentator lionel subsidy trivial for me to sign this document and to be honest if
1:24 pm

1:25 pm
a question you can't define races you can't you know it's a. 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 carry lying about you and the rest of us absolutely raises a peek into me if you're hyper sensible you grow up racism but that's not raises or yes it is no it's not so if you say don't say 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 to his my radical opinion 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 the same can't let it go or get out of here should be rules listen to what we're

1:27 pm
a father believes this played a role in her guilty plea. the conditions she's being kept in are having an impact if you have the chance to prove her innocence and justify her activity she would do just that this is very hard for her for almost three months now she's been discriminated against and has been held in isolation what she needs most disaster we are waiting for the situation to be resolved soon and in a way that is satisfactory to both my daughter and our whole family which since november the twenty years she's been kept in administrative segregation which involves twenty two hours in the cell and as early as two hours outside during which time she can make coolers so we know what those conditions are like. international law attorney bruce marks told us butler should not be behind bars. led to beginning of this you know she was a russian spy well she wasn't a spy. the concept of
