is they, they are really, there is a willingness to compromise. let's make no mistake about that. there is a willingness to compromise, but substantive me, there are some very important issues. now, for a lot of people in your audience, western judiciary is maybe an unknown factor, but let me just say that is wheels to do. she area is highly, highly different from other western democracy. we're such as the united states, such as united kingdom, such as canada, we're the political parties with the legislation, with the executive has from minutes before in selecting judges and use real uniquely and is we are judges have been selecting themselves. so one of the biggest issues that is on the table in terms of traditional reform is to change. did you get the selection process? so you would agree with unpleasantness and benjamin netanyahu, de, jesus,

we don't have too much power in his file. i mean these balancing, not only do i agree but, but a significant majority of our country present by the way, many of the opposition leaders in other guys is in other words, when they were not necessarily in this opposition, also agree that that the real has gone too far in allowing its supreme court already gave to itself incredible amounts of power. incredible amounts of discretion. there are no limits on things. i've always allowed to bring a case to the court of the, the standing issues, the reasonableness of how the portable deals with a, a particular case. and let me give you the most expensive examples. israel has no written constitution. what we call basic laws, basic laws are fundamental laws that are deemed to be akin to our constitution.

our supreme court has said that they have the right to review and to knock down basic laws, which is another way of saying that the supreme court does say, we can declare the constitution to be unconstitutional. there's something very research or something very wrong. well, fascinating stuff. doug, the best chapman of the in says they're both. thanks very much for breaking down. those are those protests of the judicial reforms in israel for thank you know, it's the other news this week, the world much international. nelson mandela day on tuesday on during the legacy of the fall and the south african president, an apartheid icon. local correspondence, know we'll come get reports from the celebrations in south africa. to now some of the international days of the international of southern states held in the, on the 8th of july, the community. so that's a couple. so around the world, it,

is it the way we come memories instead of going to the life of the legacy of nelson mandela who is the 1st of the laptops that african prison, also an anti active history. the purpose of this list and the visuals take me to the positive impact to the community. but also of course, this is done by dedicating 6 to 7 minute time to local communities. and those that are listed as nelson and spent 67 years dedicated to the office

and they seem to soon for me it's really up to me. so based on the color funds. and so that comes to the one. the 1st of the vision is that they find themselves as a product of this cargo, but they should be able to contest, but they go to the store. but i think the ceo of the nelson mandela foundation, profess event, harris says no lead on the confidence today can compared with $1.00. the prince of

the name nelson mandela, is still very strong. do i believe? sent me for myself. whenever i travel internationally, the name is, is recognized and is, is on it using now someone dealer as a yardstick for leadership in some ways is unfair because i think that clarity of leadership is very rare. maybe once a century will see a need of that quality globally. i'm not an expert on african politics. but what i would say 2 things is that i think, globally, we see a desperate shortage of high quality leadership. and if i look at the continent, i would have to say that the challenge on the con to, to on the continent is of the same book. i don't, i don't see the quality said no,

someone didn't like. embodied to be found on the continent at the moment. everything we do is get to building the adjuster side to the notion. montana dreamed off. so whether it's already in child development work, or whether it's on food security program across the board, this is the work that is designed to find ways of establishing that kind of justice. but ahead of all types of research, the nelson mandela foundation, rossi, a solar system on $1.27, you in conservation made him a symbol in the struggle for human rights. nelson mandela is no one. so one of us will be a nice thing. that's the most enjoying legacy that he's pro to the citizens of south africa. the fact that we had uh, we have peace now. um,

although you know the problems at many but the one thing is speed though we are not having uh uh, we are not having conflict in fighting, in terms of uh they should think that. um, so i think that's the most in joining next here in dallas, texas. we have a different a, we have democracy, people can say what the one to, you know, you'll see to us to have associations without hearing about coming to jail. and there's no one privilege to as a so cost over the as a vendor less spend over 27 years in j n, especially in the last to probably 10 years of his imprisonment. she became a symbol for political prisoners in south africa. and there were campaigns, it also was asking, demanding that to be released that he and on the various companies,

directly in prison with him over to india. now where police arrested 6 men accused of us being described as ethnically motivates and violence in the countries northeastern states. of money for a video of the shocking incidence which took place several months ago showed a group of men groping to naked women from an imposing ethnic group in the streets . the episode has sent shock waves throughout the country. i mean, while serious locals in the area, so it messes into their own hands. attacking one suspects house with a group of women setting fire to the building. the accused was report to the identified from the video as the leader of the month is what one of the women have to say. what the people in the viral video have done is highly contemptible. all mothers and women are against such as perpetuated on anyone, irrespective of race and community. the cookies may tease or muslims the mother's highly condemn such asset degrade women. the government should impose exemplary

punishment. to prevent such acts from happening, garza, with estimates of 10000 people in the region, came out to the bundle thoughts he's cracked down and all those involved. the demonstrates is also told to restore peace on these tensions between all ethnic groups of a 160 people have been killed with many more injured since i think by the interrupted in the states of money, people which was in may after the method community is called to be granted a special status and then discover. so it was also a sides or process of the incidents members of the opposition congress. spotty, took to the streets of new delegates, condemned to violence, demonstrates as hell posted the same save money. pl. well, that was already flushes with penalties. russian president vladimir putin and his brothers and count spots. alexander lucas jenco have held a meeting in the constantine escape policy near saint petersburg. let's go to live now. to all the correspondents donald closer to get more on the thoughts between those 2 leaders and don't know what was the main focus of those thoughts between

reaching out looking. hi there, peter. well, it looks like the talks went quite well. vladimir putin said that to the development of the union governments between ross, the russian federation and belarus, is moving according to plan and alexander lucas shouldn't go for his part. said that economy is key and an economic plan on further development between these 2. got these 2 governments in the union government needs to be put forward, especially to develop the specific industries of agriculture and space. now of course, the subject of ukraine conflict was one of the big topics of discussions as well. and the bell russian president said that the wagner private military company actually began to concern him because they were making suggestions of having some sort of military offensive on bell on the poland. and that's not shooting. the pretty good bug. and the fighters are acting in a disturbing manner. you want to go westwards? well, i asked them, why do you need to go there?

they said they want to go on an excursion to worse so and just shoot gesture for them is unacceptable. when they were fighting near or thomas, they knew where the military coupon it was coming from the way and so they have it inside them. a gesture means trouble. of course i keep them in the center in belarus as agreed. so i wouldn't want to relocate them to their so the attitude is that they're also quite informed about what is going on around the elijah state or the 2 heads of state also discussed the enormous losses that the ukrainian military has been incurring throughout this conflict which according to lucas jenco citing western intelligence sources that stands at 26000 losses since july 4th. now, he said that many of these losses are being replaced by western mercenaries, meaning that russia is the fact so engaged in a struggle with nato. however, the russian president also said that it's not just the ukrainian forces that are taking these losses, but also these 4 and mercenaries and under trained for and volunteers. and he said

it's all a result of their own stupidity. so that's basically a rundown of what the 2 leaders of a fellow, bruce and russia had to say at this meeting or the whole thing so much for breaking down those thoughts between the boyfriend i'm bill originally. just thank you. of the molly's constitutional cult has about the dates of the results of the referendum on the countries of dropping your constitution. in june, almost 97 percent of voters opted in favor of the amendments. policy new constitution strengthens the powers of the president and emphasizes the country someone say following the break from format colonial power from the eagerly anticipated announcements puts an end to the demands for the referendum consolation, which is made by the opposition committee elections all viewed as a crucial step towards the reservation of civilian administration in march 2024, which is the 1st phone since the minutes it came to power in august 2020 local reports that we re not so sense of this report. because this one on the carpet has

confirmed the victoria of the site, the interval report on the vote of june 11 and 18 under our vague courses. so most chances are the president to really determine to view what is this of, in addition to roar hello to, to, to be a government under the country is the corner of the country just done was due to 292, and that due to octo, for clements shown on the results that we covered the next or so all the yes and the more it present, but she's also really of those all of a are to be sort of the process. i really think it was very brief and we held that it will be widely disseminated so that our young people can make it their own just the future of this country. and that actually on the interaction of satisfaction, it shows the opinion of the 1000000 people. it is what the people want. therefore we're going to hope that as the presence of the court said, the old constitution was proclaimed on a friday and the current one was proclaimed on a friday. oh gone,

staff is helping us do. what we do now is secularism. and we're going to continue the fight to molar secularist and we have so we're against it. but if the constitutional court gives us virgin, we're not going to be out. most everyone is pointing the single, single thinking we're going to take violent action. but that will not happen. the constitutional cause decision is irrevocable. so there is nothing more we can say. however, that doesn't mean we're going to stand idly. but we're not going to give up our fight against secularism for but it's not for tomorrow definitely. but it will be for, for the next generation, for the following availability of the cost of the scenario costs the president of it wants to some now has a $30.00 days or 2 permanent due to the new constitution. thus opening the fixture of the property, the n. and the reason on the body is the size of the people was c 0 for random as in simple downstairs of the military government, bullying and as a to stick to resources and, and how the mission,

the way the democratic forces. and finally, the can, you know, position is calling for a fresh, round up process the following 3 days of demonstrations this week with the demands not being met. bothering cautious. ropes have between local police and people, protesting against the tax increases and rising living costs of the at least $6.00 people reports and they died and $300.00 were arrested across the country with officials from police fired to augusta in an attempt to disperse. the

demonstrates as and yet another child to of and rest. and these african nation the go and recently increased taxes in an attempt to tackle the going economic crisis and inflation. closing on the among people effects of by rising living costs. we have something local people in kenya who forced that concerns about the current state of affairs. we know very well the cost of living is high and the majority of us cannot cope with the situation. this life is becoming so difficult in the finance bill, which was passed by the parliament, has automatically made our lives very hard. the monarch, our leaders should sit down and at the same time, reason together, protest are not a solution to the high cost of living. we need peace so that we can proceed with our daily activities since we have suffered a lot with the subject in the district. because people are afraid to like 2 days get getting those up because got to see adding. because basing the security to the side of the way virginia businesses down and

there are fewer customers due to the protest, but i decided to open so that i can make some money because during the protests will not bring me anything. however, if i open my business, i can earn tom saying by evening, which will help me with the most that i'm of the in the house during the fall safe seat and the security of all business. non grateful normally has resent we've decided to come out and do all the jobs because staying at home, who has all a business? well out there, i think so back to normal business is coming back slowly. meanwhile, moscow has accused western states of midland, and kennedy has internal affairs of trust. statement was issued on those islands the by 13 nations including the us, britain and canada. can you bikes? must go, stands for the matter, for its quotes. principle position that we spoke to a former canyon presidential advisor. they're going to be doing a unveiled to the role of some extent lights is playing in the front of the west of

the fee or the mcdaniels. and don't know if he has a for the last 60 years, they impose to the 1st president of the post, the 2nd president. so like many african countries, they are both is treated as a nation. so the leading canyon, the vision of these un under mind. others like for example, get, i'm gonna get into um, because during the cold war, uh, the west physicians themselves to be the guardians of, uh, the company to at least we of the canyon political informations. the uh, the money to do succeeded actually and you find many voices like mine. do not find a lot of space in uh, in kenya because of that, the west as consistently over the last 60 years made

sure that progressive voices of silence old q. so what the ways to be doing today is no to me. it's always been like that. the west has always maintained a hanging, monique control over politics in k. yeah. under through politics, vehicle into economics. the economy of kenya is largely in the hands of foreign interest. um, lots, lots of lots that the, the colonial administration and interests have are still actually under the apple and from up to date. feud. and patients are controlled by them. they came to the banking sector, for example, the control most of the trade,

an african interest, including cabinets, interest is not the priority to. that's the unfortunate part. the good part is that there are sections and instructions and large groups of opinions. whoever never given up on their country, on data consistently and continuously struggling, overcome these, hey, demonic, uh, struggle in kenya by the west, or whatever you want to. i hope you're having a great week 10. that's all from the pizza scouts, but i'll be leaving you in the very capable hands of my colleague, roger. mommy will be here at the top of the hour. thanks very much for watching the

and welcome to was a part of the teaching rush or less than has ever been an easy undertaking for the europeans to centuries ago. napoleon, despite the considering russia a natural allies, decided to punish it for rebuking your french embargo and lost much of his army in the efforts. in the 20th century, the germans made their most men the same fav. can you hear of clothes, this historical gift all this time around by joining forces against russia and ukraine. ok, this cause that i'm now and join by all stress foreign minister of foreign affairs . karen, nestle, my name is bridget. see you and welcome to russia. thank you very much for that

kind of invitation, and it's always a pleasure to be in your country. now, before we delve into history and your politics, i want to ask you about your own uh postman as serial transition. because i know that you have to leave your native country due to personnel and financial pressures, your 1st one to friends. and then you eventually sub told in london on which is such a reversal of the traditional immigrant one. because we usually think of people moving from the middle east to europe. you and you made it the other way around. how has been this adventure been for you so far? what i, it's now nearly a year that i arrived and that one on it was since spring last year. we sold events . and when i went made my 1st administrative steps in, in may 11 on. and i said, i need to text number. i need presidents of paper, etc. the notary, i went to the lawyer as i went to see the awesome. like, are you crazy? you want to come to let her know on you assessing and have a non 15011. these are leaving for months left on on. as i said, yes, why?

i said, well i have problems and you're all done. does much more freedom and level non done in your that's why i'm here. it's interesting you say that because i, i also loved 11 and i used to go there when i was reporting on the war in syria and it was such your response. and one thing that stuck with me is you describing lebanon as a place where you found a freedom of mine, that this is a very interesting type of freedom. what do you mean by that? what it's not the freedom that is stipulated in the constitution in a paper. it's not the oldest freedom commitments that 3 here all the time i inside to your opinion. you know it's a freedom that is lift in the sands of lift. i've left lifting, you know, people live next to each other. they don't live with each other. this is all the effect and the one on was a 10 different ethnic groups. a read tribal i sation that we have seen throughout the many chapters of projected war. uh, but this consensus, this,

the minus comes as isn't as what europe is missing, where we only see black and white now and 11 on you have great. this isn't a very interesting question because i think 11 on is a very diverse society is it's the de capital of the middle east. they're very vibrant, nice size. but during the day you it, you will know that because it looks like a traditional muslim society and i think it's a different, a more discrete, perhaps way of dealing with diversity where various groups have died spaces. and they also have some sort of a shared to kids when they can be themselves without being in each other's faces. so it's done. what color in passing and what does quickly, how does it feel to you after living for so many years in your which i think has that much more sort of in the face more demonstrative way of, uh, showing your identity or whatever it is. well, you know, uh, the europe that i always was grateful for has ceased to exist. and what might,

i mean to 0? it's a europe where you could do this, let the vendor list where you could test different opinions. 1520 years ago, it was completed and all of that i, i like hosting people for a lunch and dinner. and i always had a wide spectrum of acquaintances through a communist or others throughout of all kind of estimate religious backgrounds. and you could sit down, chef would be a very diversion opinions. i disagree but need again, this is not any more possible today your conference and whether you have that, whether you're not going along with the majority opinion on a migration policy, like in 2015 when i started to have my skeptical physicians on bad and i'm definitely not so far back, i'm definitely not the officials, but i have to send it or whatever. but i was labeled all that because i said back in 2015, it won't work. how people saw it, you know, and whether it's now on the russian, whether it's on climate change,

whether it's on, on your name, it you have at the topic that's only black and white. one thing that, that i cannot understand is that many europeans pride themselves on being true democrats and they see russia, for example, as an authoritarian country. but the approach you are describing when everything is very many can black or white. either you are with the forces of good or with the forces of english, it's very to tell a tyrant and then nature. do you think people understand that? and is it a deliberate policy or a has fully understand like, uh, 2 days ago there was a headline in austin online media. com and the full name from minnesota. mazda is back to the and pile see those? and the interesting thing was that in the chat rooms, a lot of people had some sort of, of, of support this position and saying why we understand why you left your up. uh, and the way you were chased out of our country is it's tremendous enter your credit

. so that's support from. so readers, if you want, that's also a lot of hatreds from others coming up. but many people have realized that why of the pen demik? why are this one year of war and anybody who is asking for peace negotiations is considered a threat to a is considered a negative. that's sort of the history. it's all about um, shipping. so where has this 0 disappeared while you had them rational discourse? so you had skepticism i, i, i said already when i served as administered, that when i want to see a died i travel to moscow or to new dalio, peachy. why, why no one twice the vienna. i was often confronted with the elderly teenagers emotional not anymore racial now. now this is not just some moral pressure as far as i understand you faced real uh, uh, obstacles to continue living your life with dignity and austere. can you talk more about that? yeah, well i am in the, in 2020 independent. i'm extracted,

maybe people, that's not the topic of myself, but i, i, i faced immediate campaign against me that was weird. that was complete. the ration that i was into a, it was just to give you 11 example accused of heading and nobody shocked formula on my desk when i was minnesota. and which i had been experimenting according to the wage, right? the source or which the photo that has cups kept up coming again and again was the full, the orthodontist was the president of the russian federation. so she had thoughts with the demo. she was cooking for us and to kill animals and, and the had all but most of them for that. but immediate law still only that i am taking out 2 or 3. it was and it is a which on. and it was suppressed, taking that on certain days, i couldn't police anymore because i said to myself, but this is, this is impossible. what is going on there?

and the, uh, and i, uh, in 2020 i still lived in austria. um they, they fixed out a dock that i had taken from the, from the dock shelter, which had been put to sleep but ordinary an accusing me of having killed the dock and in the middle of depend. daniel for the 1st time and legal history of austria, a dark last excuse to st in years. and that was an autopsy to prove that you didn't kill it for them. yeah, no, they wanted to prove that. i talked to patrick, seriously, but you come from a country that gave the world many world renown psychologists digman phrases. yeah . so one of them, but there are many others. how do you explain this some of the reversal of fortune because, you know, maybe it's just as the russians with re associated to your with enlightenment values with critical thinking with the, the show appreciation of all forms of diversity. not only political but the,

any other. how do you explain it to yourself? yeah. what it does is what i i'm assaulted to ride the stuff now because i had other things to do. a book which i called rick in for europe because they are just described. it's the one i was always grateful for, not only proud of, but great for, for that i could grow up in that, that i could pronounce my opinion without risking a lot and even being mistaken. i'm in the real and learned by making mistakes. but i pity the youngest as of today because there is a lot of self censorship on many topics in schools that start to just the migration topics. to my impression it went on with the climate change going back, it went on, we spend them a call, you see it's, i mean there was no, there was a real debate. it was idle. busy but never s and now it's about the russia and it's about yes, we have to fight the russia and russia has to be taken off the map and at that.
