Streets and holding the signs but what happens after the streets where were you know where does the activism go you know after after the protest. Yeah i mean i think there is theres a difference between sort of. Generating power and then wielding that power and i think. For people who are brand new often there can be some conflict confusion and dissonance and you think well if we start to engage in the political process then we must be selling out or we must be somehow if all you have is a stylistic sort of activism like wait we went from the streets and now were you know sitting down across from someone who could actually make this policy a reality but were inside we should be outside we must be traitors really selling out but really if you care about the transformation that you want to see happen you cant be focused on us then you cant be focused on well you know were now sitting down across from a Police Officer were sitting down across from you know an elected official or somebody who works for an oil company that that cant be if you if you say that thats off limits then youre not actually serious about implementing the change you want to see eventually if what enough people come to this place and theres active Popular Support for any cause youre going to have the opportunity to wield the power and make the change that you so desperately been fighting for as we go to break watchers dont forget to let us know what you think of the topics weve covered and to learn more about todays featured artist check us out on Facebook Twitter and you tube and see our poll shows that r t v dot com coming up the low doesnt stop as the flobots return to the stage is watching the hawks strikes a chord. Joining me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to us from the world of politics or business im show business ill see you then. Its the cradle of jazz. There are we have. To hold this jazz feeling. A city of climatic contrast. Alligators on the loose of crime or used by the least members of my friends to close my. Street racing in the heat of the night this is new orleans. The best place in the world. In two thousand and sixteen the Panama Papers show the world with a tax haven the secrets two trillion United States dollars passed through most. In the amount of time that weve been in Panama Papers exposure thats what it shows a lot of money it really is. Journalism its an act of journalism looking at things that people want to keep secret and asking why would they want to keep these things secret. Millions of fonseka documents were examining. All the people which basically have tried to get an advantage out of this thought it was newspaper. And probably other politician which were. Other politicians the media were quick to find targets such as the kings of morocco in saudi arabia the president of argentina several Prime Ministers. And russian president Vladimir Putin of course. That had so i have sued so many newspapers for defamation some things dont just happen by chance it was very striking there were no more americans to. This special book a lot of people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china their special project reveals what was missed in the media coverage. The panama chronicles. The inability to the millions of. Dollars in the illusion to deal with this mine. Workers are. Going to be concerned not let me. Give. You that much. Welcome back hawk watchers lets not wait for a single second more heres the flub. Lol the. World is watching. This. Tree. So lets just leave it go west leave. The people odets. A little. While the sun. Will then go lets. Go. To stoke. Lake. Thats. Cool by. Her. To go to the pub was a comic book begin to feel its cup of tea get down to. The. Big. Fish. Small streams of people. John the principal cops just because casey compliments that couple was a hoax but they gave the back to come up with the ticket because the letter to. The illegal. Labor led some other sit still or luck here. Still a little other luck. I am. I am. If those of us who are truly seeking connection can just be curious about somebody elses pay as opposed to denying it. It will go a long way as right now we have very much got in the habit of those debates that were having i think its does them a great i think it holds them too high to even call them debates right i think were just that theyre just roving castigation and but if we can. We can at least. Like why are you like youre hurting youre actually hurting so tell me about that. When i used to Teach Elementary School like a kid came up to me crying the first thing i dont say is i dont say like that doesnt hurt. If i were to do that i would redouble the damage of what that child is feeling and thats what i think were doing as adults is like right off the bat were denying the pain and specifically with certain backgrounds and certain groups which is i know you dont have access to pain i think the left does that very well. And i think as a strategy. Its flawed and if some of us can at least be curious i think theres a lot of information if we treat pain as information were going to learn something as opposed to denying the entire reality of existence of somebody by saying that they dont have access to it one of the songs on our album rattle the cage is trying to speak to the fact that when we get so caught up in being right and making sure that our narrative is dominant we can become utterly dehumanized so that when youll have a terrorist attack for example you know you have you have something an act of violence that happens this act of violence happens and all we know is that theres been real people who lost their lives and without knowing anything else you go to social media and the first battle you see is whos narrative does this fit like i guarantee you this is going to be a x. Y. Z. Which will fit my narrative and all of you guys are going to see that you were wrong this whole time and you get permutations of that from every direction and its really grotesque that we get to the point where were so excited that we might be proven correct by an act of violence that its going to fit our narrative that we dont even bother to say whatever just happened this was tragic people lost their lives we just jump straight to this you guys are going to finally understand im right and thats really grotesque. One thing thats exciting for me to think about is what we really mean when we say we. You know in the United States theres a tendency to say well. You know x. Y. Z. Is happening we have to do something and theres its very easy to say we think that we means you know the military of our of our particular state but theres a different we theres women all over the world who are dealing with patchy arche wherever they are and these women can work in solidarity with one another as women and be transformative in every single country that theyre in itll be a different fight it will be a different front but its the same battle and i think that on an even more human level just. You know that the world is so disproportionately filled with young people in any country where theres an oppressive regime or just oppressive laws or you know unsustainable practices there are young people that are looking around at everything and saying theyre synthesizing and saying how can i transform this and at times im sure that feels like a very lonely operation and people feel like theyre the only one but i guarantee you youre not the only one theres people in every single country with very similar aspirations and dreams and people who are deeply loved the community that theyre from people who are deeply dont want to see tradition just like set aside but want to also carve a new path forward and so you know for those people that weve met that weve had the privilege of meeting when were touring and traveling we know that to be true but we also know theres just countless people that weve never met or never heard from and its those voices those on heard voices that as they start to lift and rise and be more and more heard thats whats going to transform the planet in this day and age where even the word fact is so hotly debated i dont think beauty is so i would say if we can pair any of our outrage any of our anger our fear with beauty where possible because its a medium that will transmit. I think if you if you shout at someone they are conditioned to not listen to you if you shout beautifully which we call singing. Youre making an emotional argument that is much harder to deny so i think in some ways i know its easy to say but i think seeking beauty is revolutionary right now. I can ride my bike with no handlebars goel head to bars both handle bars i can ride my bike with no handle bars go handle bars no way i dont voters in the low gimme hands of the damage its good to be a law even a famous rapper when the past was going to be i can show you how to dose you dobe i can show you how to scratch a record im going to give out the Remote Control and i can almost put it back together inside on a charity sim i could tell you about the barracks and i dont all the words to take a lot is that im proud to be an american be a mom friend from platypus be a mom and made a comic book to get sound long until god cant do anything that i want because look i mean there is a window manager and go go that should go go that route know that i can see you based on that salad cold call that sell a phone call that sell the phone.

Look at how free it is still going on in this world open up. And open up maybe we can open it up to start to put. Hello my names peter and ive been living in bushnell for about seven years and this is a film about just some of the crazy things ive got in the time. I need to listen to some theyre still are doing it because. I still did not hit the significant. Blow. Sri and fate but also an Alarming Number of People Living in the streets. The simple fact in l. A. Is theres just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in theres nowhere to come in its been a struggle. To get this man from his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. You know having Something Like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution. Me house on a city parking space is not a solution your craft someone wanted touring the site otherwise itll be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. I had a great education a good job and a family that loved me. I never had to worry about how i would eat somewhere i would sleep. But im facing christmas alone out on the streets of london. Well you know. Im not a politically like you go to school you know to simulate it will still give up food for the hope of. The. Earth. But you dont really feel like the human being in it. And then. The guy just came over to me saw me in gave me this book. We applaud the tremendous courage of the reigning people. Washington throws its support behind the violent antigovernment protests in iran threatening sanctions over attempts to suppress the unrest. Also to come after infuriating muslims across the middle east over jerusalem status the u. S. President considers cursing aid to the palestinians for not wanting to talk page. Slanging match between donald from the north Korean Leader descends into products about the size of the Nuclear Button just as south korea tries to calm the situation with upcoming talks with pyongyang. Follow their welcome you watching r. T. International this wednesday morning where its just gone Eleven Oclock here in moscow. Our top story the trumpet ministration could impose sanctions on iran if its not satisfied with response to the ongoing protests in the country dont get ahead of sanctions but that is one tool kit a couple things that we have in a very broad and wide. There are a range of options that we certainly have Going Forward and thats why i say we are watching reports very carefully of any potential human rights abuses of these protesters who are protesting peacefully with iran has seen its six consecutive day of rest with at least twenty one people thought to have died in clashes the demonstrations started in december in protest over the sluggish economy and also a jump in prices then transformed into a political uprising with some chanting antigovernment slogans the unrest turned violent and several times with police posts attacked by the protesters in the last three days there have been more than four hundred fifty arrests. We asked people in toronto what they thought about the protests. Given that that i feel that if peoples economic problems were addressed these accidents would never happen again so if someone from the government came and spoke to them these incidents would not escalate. Get only the cost of living unemployment the lack of attention to people Authorities Say that this problem started with a surge in the prices of basic food supplies. They need that person who says time for change should think and be worried about their own country and the rainiest should think about their country everybody should stop by trying to make progress at home. I dont think trump should interfere in our countrys issues i dont think our issues are any of his business well the u. S. Is also calling for an International Response to the unrest in the country so america has more on that. The u. S. Has firmly voiced its support for the Anti Government movement baster nikki haley has even called for an emergency meeting of the u. N. Security council to discuss the ongoing situation it takes great bravery for the iranian people to use the power of their voice against their government if the iranian dictatorships history is any guide we can expect more outrageous abuses in the days to come the u. N. Must speak out irans president has come out in defense of peaceful protests but the supreme lets check out what was said. The enemy is waiting for an opportunity for a crack it can infiltrate President Trump kicked off the new year unleashing a stream of tweets on the issue accusing iran of corruption Human Rights Violations and spending its wealth on terrorism and of course the Israeli Government has followed suit even going on to say that the iranians and israelis will be friends once the Regime Forces but whats even more surprising is that israel faces the same discontent some antigovernment protests and some over trumps recognition of jerusalem as its capital but what did nikki haley have to say about this now you saw strong when it comes to the freedom and dignity of very people you have but you have a different meaning of freedom and dignity when it comes to the Palestinian People will be because weve been brutalized for over fifty years of occupation the palestinians now have to show their world they want to come to the table as of now theyre not coming to the table but they ask for aid were not giving aid were going to make sure that they come to the table and we want to move forward with the Peace Process well as you just heard there the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Has revealed plans to stop funding a u. N. Agency giving aid to Palestinian Refugees shortly after the u. S. Leader himself suggested cutting donations to the Palestinian Administration in a tweet he claims that despite giving them hundreds of millions of dollars a year they show no appreciation or suspect to the u. S. Suggested cussing aid because according to him the palestinians are north willing to talk peace with israel. Whos an editor of the palestine chronicle believes all this is nothing short of bully. I dont think it is i think it is part of the. Policy that has been followed by the Trump Administration for months now and its a policy that is called you needed sort very well with the Israeli Government the tweet was also joined by a statement made by any either u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations that she says forthright that we will not be giving money to on the u. N. And Refugee Agency that is dedicated to helping millions of Palestinian Refugees in palestine and in refugee camps across the middle east if this is not a foreign or bullying its not a form of intimidation then what is well be it iran palestine or north korea President Trump has made twitter his go to platform to get his messages across but as r. T. He goes you darn of now explains all too often his posting the to some very real and violent consequences of christmas that new year even the seasonal holidays havent put the brakes on trumps twitter train in twenty teen pakistan got it first. The United States has foolishly given pakistan moving thirty three billion dollars in aid over the last fifteen years and they have given us nothing but lies and deceit thinking of our leaders as fools they give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in afghanistan with little
