the point is should we actually be charging for education because this is when we charge for things is because it's a benefit to the person is buying it and that's the audiology that took over education about 30 or 40 years ago but the perspective of education was originally that education is a benefit to society in general i would want to live in a society without doctrines or engine is what happened without economists. saying it of being a profit benefit in ignoring the public means that we're ignoring that the skill by says we need for a sophisticated society and putting the burden of that skilled bice's on the individuals and what we're trying to do into it is just now the china institution public higher education become a form a version of

a real estate scam that is not the basis for a functional saudi. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back to the sense of employees in britain's arts and culture to say they hide their views if they don't fit within the liberal norms and that includes the support for the country's conservative policy among other things and he says he has revealed a growing environment of self-censorship. our survey shines a damning light on the coersion bullying intimidation and intolerance that is active among the community that thinks of itself as liberal open minded and
8:17 pm
equitable and of all of them $500.00 respondents many highlighted the risks of holding so-called controversial opinions spawning topics including brags its religion sexuality and gender fewer than half of those questions that they felt their views were respected and some even claimed they were offered money to stay quiet about corrupt practices in their field while others pointed to why there are problems in their working communities it wouldn't be advisable to point out that the arts tend to do well under the conservative arts culture and indeed education sectors are not dominated by monolith the politically correct class mostly of privileged white middle class people by the way impose their intolerant views across those sectors anything to do with gender issues especially trans issues who get a lot of flak either for not being on message enough or being off message or 2 on message meanwhile another traditional bastion of free expression is also under
8:18 pm
pressure in the u.k. a think tank is one of the country's universities have quite lost the trust of the nation over are to choose towards patriotism the report quotes the governors and chancellors who fear academic institutions are seen as out of touch and goes on to say the sector should show that it speaks for and reflects the whole of the u.k. and also encourages universities to make sure students feel safe to express conservative viewpoints a professor at the london school of economics told us universities are supposed to allow critical examination of all ideas. british universities have become what we call very wall that is very sensitive to these about racial was sexual inequality and student unions in particular but also all sorts of groups of students create riots and lobby the university authorities make a great deal of noise in different ways if they think an academic or
8:19 pm
a visitor who's been invited to speak at the university or one of the students at the university has said something which doesn't fit in with the kind of left wing politically correct consensus so the loss of students who are very shy about expressing their views particularly of the conservatives i don't particularly believe in bricks and. as the u.k. enters its post bragg's it transition period it's facing a unique challenge to eat the economic future chlorinated chicken the e.u. says it won't agree a trade deal with britain unless they keep the ban on the products and its trade negotiations with the united states are seen as kate partridge explains. it seems the humble chicken could sink u.k. hopes of a trade deal with the e.u. that's because europe's in a frappe over britain potentially importing chlorine wash chicken from the u.s. as part of a new trade deal with washington the e.u.
8:20 pm
outlawed the practice in 1997 and the french are saying if the brits been the ban they can forget any deal with the block this also goes with the nic british companies i hear them i see them i mean they all tell me we want to keep european rules because we want to ensure access to 500000000 european consumers i don't need any convincing no british or european company produces goods according to just any old standards on the contrary all companies in particular british farmers understand that to keep exporting it's best to do all they can to have the regulatory alignment that will grant them access to oil markets but also in the wings is the u.s. which for years has tried and failed to get the e.u. to weaken its food and farming standards to bring them into line with america's brics it presents a chance to break open a major european market the other issue which people got very obsessed about here is chlorinated chicken deliver on our comes that benefit the agricultural sector
8:21 pm
and most importantly consumers who are going to be the beneficiaries of these really good deals american producers claim they've turned away from chlorine in favor of other disinfectants but the e.u. still believes the use of such methods at the end of the meat production process could compensate for poor hygiene standards plus other fears of inhumane treatment while farmers leaders think it would be madness to import such goods this year the government must show global leadership insists that u.k. farm standards are the benchmark for climate friendly farming around the world and that whoever wants to trade with us trades on our terms. and we must not allow those standards to be undermined by imports of goods which would be illegal of them as to produce here to the average briton chlorine is associated with keeping swimming pools clean and not for washing chickens so what do people think on the streets of london would you eat chicken as we did to glory no of course not you
8:22 pm
know you want the freedom and we've got to be vegetarian not going to consume she could be more us not we don't you know i definitely wouldn't eat it i just had to choose and buy my chicken there so they could take her quite welcome so here we don't have to buy it so yeah i would advise yes but i think the problem is that people wouldn't necessarily know so on the one hand there's the chance of a deal with the e.u. already the u.k.'s biggest trading partner and guaranteed food standards all meals are a potential deal with the u.s. the world's biggest economy and cheap chlorine chicken a foul conundrum for the u.k. government a partridge o. t. london. pipeline protests across canada have brought several of the country's rail networks to a standstill opponents to natural gas projects running through multiple provinces so the pipelines violate the rights of indigenous communities by going over their
8:23 pm
learned plays moved in on monday to clear activists from the blockade set up on train tracks in the city of bellville and on taria making several arrests and it's also a local rail company won an injunction to clear the camp but it's mohawk nation member russell de are both ways using force to break up the protests to point this. exactions the government has taken us to really provoked war. support actions across the country in support of the what should i don't think you can use force because you take one blockade down and 3 more appear across the country there is widespread support for the which the jury changed the plans so they can't really result by force to question canada's economy right now by trying to force a pipeline through their dirt or all their support actions will continue until the government works with the company to get that pipeline out of the. meanwhile the industry representatives are calling on the government to take action after
8:24 pm
suffering heavy losses and with this 2 option with the country's farming body claiming the protest action is damaging agriculture to the tune of more than 50 $1000000.00 a week and the premier of key banc says that the province is losing some $76000000.00 a day on the west coast protests have also been taking place against a coastal gas link route this crosses lines belonging to indigenous people in british columbia and that although the elected council agreed to the project hereditary need is oppose it resolutely although again ses canada should reconsider its views on the rights of indigenous people which soon are asking for recognition of their indigenous title and rights and a cigar going to canada us government policies land claims policies that are the problem unless the government changes or places those policies it doesn't seem like they can really talk to her to church chiefs about recognising their diction its title and rights canada as a signatory to human rights conventions and they're violating human rights. so they
8:25 pm
need to look at changing their policies or this is going to be a prolong situation where the country's economy affected totally start recognizing it didn't just write st exist a creation of canada and they haven't addressed that 952 years. thanks for joining us here on tape we're back in 30 minutes with the latest headlines. well the alternative. as i say the stage shows the. real choice binary choice and only choice is. the best binary thing. the states too small to provide

8:27 pm
rights has taken a very dramatic turn in recent weeks yes canadian prime minister mr teen beat magazine himself just so has found himself in quite the predicament as indigenous people and environmental activists have blocked rail lines and protests across the country in solidarity with the watts whitten 1st nation hereditary chiefs and land offenders. who are desperately desperately trying to prevent a frack gas pipeline from being built across their unseeded lands in british columbia the new york times reports that quote after a 2 week period that elevated the national political temp temperature disrupted much of the rail service in eastern canada and led to layoffs prime minister justin trudeau called for an end to the blockades in support of the hereditary watched chiefs in british columbia and it's how that is playing out that has added even more fuel to the fires of protest in the solidarity with the tribe monday it was
8:28 pm
reported that despite a statement declaring that quote there has always been continues to be a willingness from the thai and the naga mohawks to discuss an exit strategy of the c.n. rail line main main line that didn't stop canada's royal mounted police force as you can see from physically removing the 1st nation protesters from their camp a camp that never actually physically blocked the rail line they still got moved out so today my friends let's kick things off with a little protest and a fight for the indigenous rights as we start watching homes if you want to know what's going on a city street. there so you like to see the prices you always stay i'll see you slice grapes suggests least systemic dissent says the late show but she's out with some real. world war more than
8:29 pm
watching the hawks i am tyro vinter and i'm a nice surprise and joining us today to discuss the protests the pipelines and mr to do those role in all this is r.t. american court canadian correspondent alex male a bitch alex always a pleasure thank you. thank you for having me so i have to start have these recent arrests in crackdowns on the protests. brought an end to the rail blockades and demonstrations as as they actually worked in terms of what the government was hoping to accomplish. tyro quite the opposite it's basically just sparked more fury among the protesters emboldened them and whenever you see a blockade go down well a new one seems to pop up and we note yesterday 20 demonstrators were arrested in quebec it was again peacefully there was really no altercation between police and the demonstrators and what we're seeing though that just the actions of the police are having people react to it so as you know the police and indigenous communities
8:30 pm
don't really necessarily have the best of relationships and many of these communities do not want to be it for federal or provincial police within their territories so the police coming in and doing what they're doing is a backlash is happening it truly is and it seems that at least 2 and 5 canadians are in support of these protests that said you have to look at the bigger numbers saying that they want these protests to end because it is having an impact on the economy the province of quebec alone their premier says that they're losing about $100000000.00 a day so in that respect the protesters are getting their job done they are being heard they are being seen the media is paying attention now the question is what happens to that pipeline as you mentioned it's a gas pipeline that runs through some of the most pristine territories that we have in canada.
