i think i think i was three i. was. i i was the tear gas leaves this area over the shoulder sillies a famous street empowers police all moving their way over towards the arc de triomphe clearing out anybody who they deemed to be involved in the violence that we saw or roped out of absolutely nowhere it was incredibly peaceful throughout today and then just in a few seconds it went from zero to ten immediately and we saw police deploy tear gas which is in the air right now as we're moving into it also. the cannon as

well as well as the rubber bullets being fired certainly a very forceful move by the police in order to make sure that they take they took control of this particular area of the seans elisei after five weeks of the police tactics being found somewhat lacking what we have seen here is a subsidy at least anyway tactics that have brought every single one of the use a yellow vest demonstrators into one little corner here right now it seems that it's over here it seems that they've brought them into a not particular area but this has been quite a while in the ventral afternoon that started off quietly and escalated really really quickly there are a number of people that are acquiring medical attention we saw one of our colleagues from the front series here on the show on sunday say was taken away for some medical treatment however this has been

a much smaller scale demonstration there what we've seen in the previous weeks.

please. yellow best protests continue to spread internationally on friday tell of the saw its own version of france's movement taking to the streets protesting high taxes on the cost of living. i was. right i. was. hundreds of people took part in the demo blocking off roads in the city center

comes after recent hikes and mortar 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 imo i 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 these monopoles and all those new york corporations and make a game that it's fair game i don't know the. higher the price so they like to see the folds that water everything they said this is inspiration from france oh god i'm thinking of it being. a big. nothing. but they can say there was

a brief yellow vest protest on westminster bridge in the u.k. yesterday by pro brags that kind of pain is but generally speaking was taught in france hasn't spread to britain with an alternative like his polly boyko and her latest episode of in case you missed it in france people hate the idea and feel like coming more expensive playing britain it's very expensive for you is please pay less and postures what will fall victim to weigh in. lays you on revolution or you have breasts would never make it here surely. on the street across the nation. is forming these the anglo-saxon liaison's are up to some playing.

very. fast on them they appear peaceful but this army of high variance of warriors like paris didn't have weapons now but because they keep it this revolution and. they have just started playing their bayonets and their machetes as tools and machinery. bombs salumi. oh my god there's another one. this conspiracy going to great to the very top. but france is a government in disarray

a leader of it being out of touch with normal people the issue of immigration to my doing the nation. a gallery best revolution and what happened there. credit. who's your leader. i see them. 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 were gassed year 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 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 as collate cashing in on ratings voters just love a good military parade where the cost of zero is the right place for that you decide. of.

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 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 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's 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 his 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 third 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 that what is behind america's support really should look really big zero me the first thing is that the us ambassador is a jerk will be there i'm with you wherever that means which sounds like you use

because of all of your vocal or because you know it is will be there with you this is simply a gesture to emphasize. the status as an american karlie because the base there is a little base it's an american base and. you look at his children there are american flags all over the place if it came to occur between serbia and kosovo militarily. course the course of the army will never change sure 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 lend itself to the united states. british comedian but to appear before students was shocked to find he'd been sent a behavioral agreement that 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 able as a homophobia by phobia transfer xenophobia islamophobia or anti religion or anti atheism constantine that kitten was among five comedians shadwell to perform at the event being held to raise money for children's charity unicef the university's unicef on campus society or performers the behavioral agreement and stressed that while the topics and we raised it must be done in a respectful way however the university student union said the agreement was overzealous and later in a staff on campus issued an apology. given that 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 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 national union of students seems to think so and says it has no

evidence that universities are dictating what guess because can say however there have been several of the cases in the u.k. where comics have been stopped from performing or had their material censored that alas was banned from performing at cardiff university after hundreds signed a petition complaining his show trivialized rape and activist and comedian kate smith had her performance cancelled at a london university because of her views on prostitution she debated the story with the media commentator lionel 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 eighty 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 on you say do not talk about this subject

do not mention the word kremlin united states trump would say whoa whoa wait a minute hold that 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 is not a question you can't define races you can't do you know units of what i did here and so you said dictionary we love knowing. we can't no no yeah you know there are many you don't want me to take out a line when my eyes are of iran and the rest of earth. raises a peek into me if you're hyper sensitive and you go 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 a dictionary i'm not asking what the word racist means i'm talking about the contextual 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 saying no to saying can i let it go or get out of here 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 guts and our spine we're losing who we are removing our personality so keep it up comics keep it up you'll be out of a job in six months i'll be back after a short break. you

know world big part of the law 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. 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. make its manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is to protect themselves. when the final merry go round
