9:16 pm
also an option as the case dragged on maria bhutto has essentially been kept in solitary confinement for months 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 most three months now she's been discriminated against and has been held in isolation what she needs most bizarre support 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 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 really like. oh lord tony bruce march the list shouldn't be placed behind bars. beginning of

9:18 pm

9:19 pm
healthy to not promoted but to inform people about certain options to have but this is very important that doctors can really get this information to patients and it's hard to see read something into room are you so stupid that they would just have an abortion because it's so much fun. they link up party member being believes if i don't buy a continues the policy of a previous as a party will soon to support. a kick a is trying to pretend to be a conservative but she's just following in the footsteps of angular markel and those fake conservative issues that she's bringing up a failing to convince anyone i believe that she should be tackling the real issues that she should be going back to christian democrat philosophy of the one nine hundred fifty s. which was that you also have to help poor people that you have to have an economy
9:20 pm
that works for everyone and those issues have been overlooked by the market government we have lots of poverty in our country and those are the values that people care about it and i could come can just continue the policies of anger and merkel then the c.d.u. will continue to bleed voters and lose at the polls. a british comedian booked to appear before students was shocked to find he'd been sent a behavioral agreement. by signing this contract you are agreeing to our no tolerance policy with regards to racism sexism classism ages i'm able as i am homophobia by phobia transfer xenophobia islamophobia or anti religion or anti atheism constantine kissinger was among five comedians it was cheryl to perform at that event that was being held to raise money for the shortlands charity unicef representatives of the charities sent all performers these agreements they stressed
9:21 pm
that while the topics can be raised they must be done in a respectful way. all university soon union disagree they said the groom went went too far later unicef itself also issued an apology. given the units that visit 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 apologise for the misunderstanding raise that out of control or see the u.k.'s national union of students seems to think this is an isolated case they say there's no evidence universities are dictating what guest speakers can and can't say that have been other cases though in the u.k. where comics have been stopped from performing or had their material censored. was banned from performing at cardiff university after hundreds signed a petition complaining his show trivialize the rape and activist and comedian kate smith wait to have her performance kept sold at
9:22 pm
a london university because of her views on prostitution she debated the story with media commentator lionel. 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 checked out what your material is i find it weird that we're presenting this as though somebody is paying sense of the fact is that by agreeing to come on your show i've agreed not to swear on air and if i didn't want to do that i could have not come on your show and you know your other guests are bound by the same thing 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 de mint comes out and you say do not talk about this subject do not mention the word kremlin united states trump we would say whoa whoa
9:23 pm
wait a minute hold it we wouldn't say well those are the rules it's like yelling fire in a crowded theater or coffee in a coffee shop we would say wait a minute you're let me what i'm saying you can make your own decision about what is and isn't ok and they're absolutely things i'm sure that you wouldn't allow me to say on air i know there are all the same and so by coming on air of course we've agreed not to say those things are not 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 and of course when you perform a show for children there are kinds of subjects that you don't go near because it's a children's show and 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 about a question you can't define races you can't units of what he did say use a dictionary we know we can't know know yet you know there are many you don't and
9:24 pm
he didn't have a lie about you and the rest of. all maybe you really. please stop it you know we're talking about your you're being sold down to good priggish above the rules and looking it up in the dictionary that's not the issue the bigger issue is that instead of us saying wait a minute what rules wait a minute why kid they speak no we're saying excuse me why aren't you abiding by the rules look at how we're giving in our first of all don't break the rules instead of saying wait a minute he's a comic is this over eighteen what kind of a club is this i'm sorry but life's tough 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 to say well actually i would like a change to this is something you haven't mentioned that i find to be quite
9:25 pm
problematic i think that you know we know that there are always going to be limits in society about what is and isn't ok to be said in certain forums and certain platforms and that's absolutely fine what's the matter with us we're used to be tough we're becoming a bunch of little snowflake trigger of trigger warning then then heard and be it it's 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 our backs keep it up you'll be out of a job in six months. president of ukraine has announced the creation of an independent ukrainian orthodox church which marks a historic split from the russian church president poroshenko made the declaration on saturday in kiev you describe spiritual independence from russia as a matter of national security for the country the ukrainian media himself took part

9:27 pm
now though it's a look i'm entering channel with get up and touch down. 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 on you know fate news and junk news because one of the democracy has to be the trust in news facts and information and if that trust is fundamentally shaken and the independent
9:28 pm
media all criticized then i think that that's a problem from a communications perspective. if we have a new arrangements with china may build a new foundation for wars they will relations i think broadly the u.s. has a problem accepting the rise of china no matter what they do. i think they're on the cheap. and then you went through all the countries. but ideas were right to call you a scum he said if you ever seem to. be. in this country. this is what we don't understand how we are in such
