Well lets get more on this were joined on and fadi salami hes live for us and the japanese capital this is not good news for south korean fans like samsung fabby who are important most of these crucial parts from japan so has anything come out of the meeting. As you mentioned its not so good news to the south korean makers todays meeting basically it was just briefing by both countries on their position. Announced at the end of this meeting which ended in behind me in the ministry they they say that this meeting is basically not a negotiating meeting its just to explain stance on this issue and in fact. This meeting it was a working level but it was a very small working level meeting just 2 south korean officials met with 2 counterparts from the japanese trade minister the so. The picture with. The able to get on the one picture of the meeting they didnt allow the coverage the media to cover the meeting or even a few minutes since this started so we got this image on the study picture says it all its a very small meeting and they explained to south korea that the country is now out of what so called white countries least this allows japan to export its high tech. Technologies to countries on this list without any restrictions and now south korea is on its way to be exempted from. From this list so from now on Japanese Companies are not allowed to export their. Products to south Korean Companies without certain rules on said september seizures among them is a 90 days. Procedure that they have to make an occasion they have to write. A plan where is this going to be used or is going to use it so many details and the process would go its going to take about 90 days japan saying that is not binding exporting these products to south korea but they are merely putting this on your restrictions because they lost their trust in south korea as a country as an ally so this problem its going to take some time to solve it from what we see from this very basic and very simple meeting it seems that it would take maybe weeks and even months to overcome this issue at a time where many south Korean Companies are facing problems now. Because the Companies Like samsung maybe they will have problems on many the service and they supply strain which would of course then affect the Global Supply chain fatty thank you for that and so now i live in tokyo.

So no matter where you call home ill just bring in the news and Current Affairs that matter to. Aljazeera. Ok and here in the stream ridicule threats of bodily harm and scorn this is what its really after is simply right i know its weitzman endured for participating in art and activism focused on Israeli PalestinianPolitics Today where we explore how actors and artists like her are using fear to as a tool to break down barriers in israel and the palestinian territories have questions be sure to leave them in the chat and we will do our best to get them into the conversation. In the occupation people come in the room. We. Have throughout the course youre going or goes from under siege in the house around this issue into one another with comments from if you want a blistering documentary from today. That was the trailer for the documentary play shame 2. 0 written by israeli playwright a not wise man and palestinian. In it they explore the difficulties of producing politically driven theater and the challenges they have faced because of their activism i not and what id share their narratives in individual monologues recounting the hurdles they had to overcome to advance their respective careers and a contentious Political Climate in each performance the actors are periodically interrupted by news footage of israeli culture minister myriad of whose efforts to pull government funding from organizations or. Disloyal to the state has been criticized as a form of censorship. Us now via skype in tel aviv israel with us in studio mirage has some who cowrote shame 2. 0 and Colin Delaney who has been performing as i announced during the productions run here in washington d. C. Welcome all of you to the stream it is really good to have you here i want to start with and mourad so this is going to be tricky having this double conversation together the idea of shame the original production what was it. You know one of the gun enough. Yes i can begin though is another shame was about events that happened during 2014 during their Israeli Attack on gaza. I can tell my story and then my dad can tell he is and afterwards i can tell how i expand the play so. The plane was a. Belt of. A 12 matic event i went through in 2014 someone show the fuck off mine wearing a t. Shirts with palestinian flag on their. Own facebook. During their gaza war and i was in there and that is well and people know me and i was like whoa facebook clinched and because people know me. They hate moved to districts and they couldnt really go safely on the street i was there this event was such as to a magic event for me and been pushed out of the publics fur. What i did is the opposite its a put this whole experience and stage and this was my narrative in. Shame. And maybe more but cannot share. And i love how i not always like directing as chatting to us. Over to you. First met and not when i was. Assistant to a place she played and i was supposed to edition for the role in it but i was a bit too young. I mean comparing to not have a good scene i say that i want you to be my assistant ok so the assistant director on this is old but not that time ill be done theater what i used the world got closed and not just for me maybe we had the story of the story of the comments she get and we make. Artists experiences working it. Made me Dance Theater my suggestion was. Interview me as if she writes all the details documentary like all actions you want from here i said this and this brothers and sisters and how many better to play yourself than yourself yes exactly. My story everything is written the. Happen except for that one name we had to change just for you know similarity in names that we dont really point and someone particularly and then we started rehearsing actually the original television live. More not because we were invited to international its called. Festival its like pieces of theater that not only relate to kind of a specific genre and theater experiment one and then this is where we start performing. And culling of course then you join the production you are playing i not i want to bring up this week here. A reviewer of the play thats here and you see it mosaic theater. D. C. Metro theatre arts rights shame to point out goes to the heart of whats dangerous about dissident art anyone who cares about art that matters most not miss this inspiring instance of what makes the your work thats a hole in the idea of dissident art is that what you thought you were signing up for is that what you see yourself as doing. Well i have to confess there was a bit of naivete when i took on the project. My a path to the production was through some personal relationships they felt i was a match for the role so rather than the content pulling me to the piece it was the relationships and the faith on their part that i would be a good match for the role and it is only as we were that i came to really only begin to get to know the stakes involved for rod and for a not and for all israeli artist i saw you all on the Opening Night in washington d. C. So seamus called shame 2. 0 because this is a production that its playing in washington have a look at my computer here colleen and i know that standing there together you can see the connection between the 2 of them this is this wasnt planned this one wasnt planned this one was them really embracing each other on the Opening Night i want to play you just a little scene we recorded this earlier in the stream studio that gives you a little insight into what is happening in this production have a look have a listen sometimes its the little decisions that make all the difference that sunny morning in 2006 i chose a t. Shirt from my closet it was a political statement of course but it was also a rather naive one. What started out as a torrent of abuse from members of the internet public went on to push us to perform this little play shame which led to others what i didnt know then was that these voices of public abuse werent merely fringe voices but would go on to become the voice of the mainstream that my plays would be heatedly debated in parliament that the government would push for laws to try and stop me as a friend to terrorists and so my personal transformation from t. Shirt wearer to playwright is also the story of the radical dissent of my country while despairing the worsening and critical situation in gaza and in all other parts of palestine for israeli artists for my country that i love there is also a little hope that arent even if stumbled upon by hazard or chance can make a difference. That your Facebook Page in that quote is on your Facebook Page on the post here theres also a little hope that arts even if stumbled upon by has little chance can make a difference what difference is your art art making. I think the most. A good example for what they import and so far is there. Is a. Loyalty law that the minister of culture was trying to pass in the israeli parliament. A law that. Every artist should be loyal to the states. And if not funds will be taken from him so i think this law that the minute i gave was trying so hard to pass is that is like testifying to the importance of art because if. There is a need to or a whole government pass a new law in order to to fight against a playwright or or a Palestinian Institution that meets that power in it that out indeed has power and i think that the. Struggle here is about narratives and about perception and i think that art has its role to gather. History we need. This politics in your so. Yes so i believe in art. And mary wreckage is the current minister of culture faith israel and has tried and succeeded in banning some of your productions in the past. You mentioned theyre testifying to the power of art and it brings us to this comment we got live on you tube says when you asked do they believe that art can inspire influence and that maybe our it could bring about political and social change so that as a question someones asking before you answer it what ads i want you to hear someone the perspective of someone who thinks that it can this is a professor who sent us a big comment to same as John Johansen out of london and he talks to us about using art as a tool a Political Tool because it told us performers can be quite a significant political resistance especially if its based on social engagement participation interaction so for instance the freedom theatre on the west bank in the palestinian territories they both build their scripts on interactive exercises with your audience when they tour the also discuss the shows after performances so they keep alive an absolutely topical conversation about the state of military occupation. Its an argument you think they will contribute with more participate with democracy in pursuit of Political Freedom do you see your work as political resistance when i cant agree more with what they have had now because i think there is a
