welcome to the program. the number of people. under the rubble. a makeshift.

came those who lost their loved ones in the blast national crossing he goes into but you will about. it should the police shoot there should. be you know cuomo you can do this if you can find to where you get it when you're going to lucknow sneak back to go. to church going to show. them just. picked up the phone to conceal the bitch no. you're. not there to make those if you're just close you is. this the likelihood of a forcible slipping but really all sorts of people flock from all parts of town touched and moved by the grief others. like you. see it's kind of that supply chain gangs my boss' boss said i'm the

patient here those who have been moved by the grief of people collected donated more than seven million roubles to those who lost something in this tragedy the search and rescue operation is still ongoing of course as you can clearly see behind me rescuers in fact working the conditions got a threatening their own lives and in fact the only couple of times they had to make a poor choice and take a break is when that threat would become too grave for them so the first dismantle some of the structures that will literally about to fall on their head but the search and rescue operation is said to go on at least until every missing person is accounted for. but some of course have managed to survive one ten month old boy was found alive under the rubble on wednesday morning a little value is now being treated in a moscow hospital a condition is very serious but is now stable is just really good news. and you

might. use a. little clip of one of the rescuers heard a child crying we stopped all the machinery to listen in we were saying to keep quiet and the baby was reacting in camp silence people we started asking where are you and there was a noise and we started working there but there was a risk of further collapse we were afraid the child was crying for how. probable so. i could have shown him immediately where my son probably was but we

weren't allowed at the site but today i managed to get there and show the rescuers the place i got acquainted with one rescuer who later calls me to say that they'd found my son. stephen in the film it's part. of the just such an. intimate. little systems for the most. innocent. police in france up arrested a key figure of the ghetto vast protest movement officials say they've charged do away with organizing an undeclared protest and carrying a weapon. besides the yellow vests figureheads other participants were detained for identity checks one month

ago the french prosecutor's office that's now investigating into mr took away he called on people to and toby only say. one of the co-founders of the yellow vests says the rest of the way is i. tend to we've always fought for fundamental rights in our country we've always fought and today we're realizing that our fundamental rights are being trampled on right in front of the class to look on before we go i just to remind you of the you know first movement began as local protests against high fuel prices but turned into a nationwide uprising against micron's presidency and sowing riots were the most violent provinces seen in half a century thousands of people blocking roads and clashing with police all of the country a correspondent shouted toobin ski has been in the midst of all this unrest. and so i just reached the entrance over the ellie's a parent's eyes you can see gas is being fired by the police that's as the protests is trying to enter into that street to get clearly set seriously ellie's

a perilous. oh. i. was up not a bit of difficulty opening my eyes right now and that's because we've just been in the midst of all of this tear gas as you can see it basically eyes red is really hard to open them and at the moment they are just a burning uncontrollably. the police are coming with having to move not because we're all being pushed up the streets. so the two gotten to protest this it really is absolutely crazy here on the streets of paris.

i believe last week there are about five thousand six hundred police officers here this weekend eight thousand in paris alone they go more tear gas they're being deployed at those protesters are trying to clear the much of that street where they were causing damage around us just took a look at this this tear gas going everywhere and here we've also had rubber bullets being deployed. very close to us. my. t. is streaming down my face again as a result of tear gas i can't tell you how many times that we've been gassed in previous protests the police have generally try to hold back from deploying tear

gas and even when they fired over jacks pelted at them by the protesters they've held back until they feel it's too much today when one achieve things have been thrown at them they have been responding immediately and it's not just take us it's whether bullets it's to cannons and of course we have all my vehicles on the streets of paris the first time since two thousand and five this is a rubber bullet it's going to put it in my hands so you perhaps my cameraman alex can get a nice close up look at it for you it's pretty big a little bit spongy at the top the point is the quite large the idea it's not meant to have secrets for you like a normal bullet but if this hits you believe me this is going to hurt and it's pretty scary having these things flying all around you. was. taiwan has expressed its discontent after china's president warned

that beijing would use all means necessary to ensure reunification i reserve the right to use force attention surprising since the election of a pro independence candidate i was the president of taiwan in twenty sixty three but actually chinese don't fight chinese we are willing to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the utmost sincerity and the greatest efforts because peaceful reunification is in the best interests of the comparator it's across the street and the chinese nation but we may no promise to renounce the use of force or taiwan will definitely not accept one country two systems china has to respect the twenty three million taiwanese peoples persistence on freedom and democracy instead of interfering with taiwan stories of democracy a polarizing taiwan society and luring talents. tensions between china and taiwan have existed since the people's republic of china was founded in nineteen forty

nine in one thousand nine hundred two both sides agreed on the so-called ninety two consensus it gives taiwan the right to have its own government while its territory is considered to be a part of china however both china and taiwan have rather different interpretations of the agreement and in fact of the entire concept itself on the december thirty first president signed the asia reassurance initiative which allocates one point five billion dollars for increased u.s. engagement across that region and the actors also directed towards enhanced political economic and security ties between taiwan and america that includes additional u.s. weapons sales to the island meant to counter a possible threat from china. the following the trail of weapons by the united states to taiwan is a serious violation of international law and the basic principles of international relations the relevant acts seriously violates the one china principle and grossly interferes in china's internal affairs chinese strongly dissatisfied and opposed to

the us insisting on signing used into law and we have made solemn complaints with the us asia pacific policy specialist. things taiwan would be more open to working with china if it wasn't perceiving such military assistance. china would ideally like that the u.s. does not sell arms to taiwan lower the level of diplomatic support because it believes in that in those circumstances that the taiwanese would be more forthcoming in taking a more constructive attitude in deepening relations with beijing the threat that the u.s. sees is primarily in the maritime theater as the chinese navy becomes more modernized and is able to push the u.s. navy back and create ten and empty excess bubble in its spirit free. with twenty eighteen all wrapped up now we've been surveying the mainstream

media's coverage for highlights but it's also easier for trying to found out that coverage looks pretty much the same throughout the year. i know way too much about your news watch an experienced last year how come easy you know superpower for that look. this president could be impeached i do not think the president will serve out his term resignation resignation a huge incentive for president trump to resign it would be the beginning of the end of the term presidency getting at me and then you see exactly the same thing last year. walls closing in the walls closing you know this is going to be the achilles heel could lead to trump's impeachment is still there may get america great again.

impeachment. this. this which is scurrilous i would try to put a hex on president literally multiple times trump has plenty to be scared. and so he is running scared. probably be getting a. or speech been. a minute some point a friend called you and they were like. oh no this is crazy. you know bro but i have a look now. stone trump is cool control the sea with several of these statements on the wildfire as the president confuses their the number of missing people he visited the town of paradise california pleasure a couple of times he put in those tweets at the worst possible time when people's lives are being compromised he was playing politics and elected officials say he doesn't really understand what's causing the fire when america lost two very dear

and important people for the nation here's some of what you must have heard on the news president truck is not invited trump is facing backlash for his tweet on senator mccain president who had repeatedly mocked and diminished mccain during his life was initially unable to offer up a single kind word descended into relief well this is no night for name calling it's been well established that donald trump is no friend of the bushes president opposite to attend the state funeral for president george h.w. bush on wednesday but does the forty fifth president feel like he's really part of the president's. ok that's really what you want to talk about. so it's been a year of kind of scoops from news on drama to news on from well at least there are other shows on the box. the beginning maybe you honestly want to do this again some night where no problem with the president switching i'm going to pull everything is

falling apart sometimes i wish i had never been president. who are you would never president. i think we can arrange that. so me it's not me. sad to. see they got another j.j. p.s. why didn't i get my book as you can you explain to me why one from column is growing on them seriously did they do this you know actually i wouldn't be surprised if one of you out there have been trumpet touched by a dream of being sucked into the main tricks of trump t.v. . you are going. down with. the old talk about.

fired you're fired you're all fired. you should've put more stress on the show said . that. are still to come here on the international some old disney classics have been criticized for. providing role models are just a moment polly boyko weighs in on that debate. with lawmakers manufactured incentives to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round be the one percent.

to ignore middle of the room sick. leave. what politicians to do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to listen. to the right to be press this is like the four three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in our. case should. be with us today for the program over the next few days we're looking back at some of the top stories we brought you in twenty eighteen.

twenty eighteen it's all the rise so. the meet to be movement with a number of celebrities named dunn shamed for inappropriate behavior in its wake classic films also came under fall greater scrutiny including some new cartoon so. with the p.c. simply gone too far did you spend a blissful childhood happily enjoying disney classics well in case you missed it they tend to fall into monsters. how can we just found by and watch the prince kiss snow white without consent months after the fact that the little mermaid giving up her voice for the true love of a. i wonder why we say cinderella save yourself you don't leave no prints

these are some of the criticisms from not just those questions about your knightly who have unwittingly become figureheads of a movement that suggests that we love. and can prove some classic stories apparently balun might leave refused to let their kids even watch some of these old classics and what on the street is not the only one a lot of people think about this stuff really really really hard. not hard enough maybe the friends should have got permission but then no one would still be lying that nobody writing world alone deposit can we still call one of them by the way. the little mermaid may have given up her voice but that was ariel to say let's just let her do have thing and telling cinderella to save herself so the work message to all those trapped in that message seventy two around the world is to just help yourself and ignore any princes who want to help looking at you mochel you want and

they do tend to get the p.c. seal of approval although if we try hard enough i'm pretty sure we can run those two let's have a try shall we but. a little girl if i did have parents and sets out across the ocean or just some logs with a tiny little chicken that is not a good example and in the interests of animal welfare did anyone else. fine line closed doors for years. and then. everybody left. all except. for but. it is an international providing

role models isn't the only thing disney was accused of in two thousand and eighteen the copywriting of the catchphrase of one disney classic has led to accusations of colonialism cultural appropriation. the phrase was made famous by the one nine hundred ninety four film the lion king a new version of which is being released later this year a zimbabwean activist has launched a petition to remove the trademark from disney he claims the phrase belongs to african culture and cannot be used by a foreign company the petition was launched in late december and almost one hundred eighty thousand people have signed it so far. from the language it means no worries or no problems it was trademarked by disney in two thousand and three for using clothing and footwear disney has never denied the origin of the phrase the company however did on the petition back in december we discussed this issue with.

so i we're seeing so much pushback from people on it they see this as another as you alluded to manifestation of culture appropriate work a consonant representing everything that capital is once everything capital is need but everything capitalists don't want to pay for that's used if you look at it and i'm not necessarily anti-capitalist stand i mean i don't want to find out anthony that you're driving a jeep cherokee let me just leave it at that obviously i think it's unnecessary pressure as i mentioned earlier we live in an error of only outreach people are just looking for a reason to be offended i don't think this is a case about offending people right i mean everyone will find a way to get up to be offended i think what we're seeing here is the commodification of culture and we have to go beyond sharing the one thing that disney did do is maybe an investment in the lion king franchise which is created a lot of jobs did he's made a lot of money and let me tell you something disney has donated to africa and

causes in africa last year two thousand and seventeen they donated over three hundred forty million dollars not everything is meant to be commodified and culture is one of those thing that specially when the culture does not belong to the corporation that is trying to appropriate and make money off of it at the end of the day disney is a global company so it's not to say that they can't appropriate or use phrases from other cultures let me say something right now where are we going to go with this next is taco bell going to be under attack is the tilted kill pub franchise i think it's a faulty parallelism to compare a franchise like taco bell to language like recruitment tata disney also tried this with dia de los went though so they also tried some copyright the day of the dead which is also something that is culturally sacre to people specifically in mexico you make money the way that you want to make money and that's fine but this is like cultural appropriation. thanks for joining us here on the thursday your up program
