Some thought that there were changing winds in the United States that finally congress would impose some kind of Gun Regulations that could help prevent this kind of massacre from taking place in the future but now having seen this speech from donald trump in front of the n. R. A. It shows that he is back in line with the n. R. A. Is prefer Policy Preferences so whats changed because of. The popular florida shootings he said that he would go to the go. So why was he bumped away from mine. Its true in the days after we did hear trump say that there needed to be some kind of action and that americans need to stand up to the n. R. A. But i think even this took republicans by surprise somebody has talked him back from that statements and he sees where his support is this is his base and hes really playing to them in a speech before the n. R. A. Were in an Election Year there are there are elections in november for the midterms and then ari has been a big supporter of republican candidates in the past. So theyre very deep pockets
and they can make or break countersuits well to fans a little bit certainly they have a lot of money to spend in the last elections in Two Thousand And Sixteen we saw them give fifty five Million Dollars to republican candidates now the vast majority the majority of americans say that they want to see straight controls on gun control but we have seen the n. R. A. Putting a lot of money into political campaigns of people who support their policies and this is the main criticism from the Student Organizers who came together after the massacre in Parkland Florida they say that these politicians are in the pockets of the n. R. A. And they say that theyre willing to vote them out of office this fall however of course it remains to be seen whether they will actually make it to the ballot box as Youth Voter Turnout is generally low in the United States. What happened to about campaign you mentioned the this campaign that started with the florida
shooting. We will watch it on t. V. They were Marching On Washington is it still bubbling though a little. Thats are after a fairly strong the start we havent seen so much of them lately the walkout that they held across in schools across the country last month was of a much smaller scale and less covered than the previous one they have been effective in getting tougher gun control laws in some states like florida and illinois where they saw a rise in the age at which you could buy firearms but at the National Level they have not been successful as a movement if you look at what kind of policies have been enacted based on their protests we havent seen any serious major Gun Control Legislation passed at the federal law since parkland and whats going to its going to depend how successful there are it will depend their movement will be successful if we see them come out and actually vote as they say theyre going to vote in the fall but for now with
they very much fallen back out of the headlines that said mr trump did propose a ban on stocks remind us what they are and what is what has happened to this proposal sure bumb stocks are a device that you can attach to a semiautomatic weapon which are very popular in the United States to make it fire as though it were an Automatic Rifle now this is the kind of gun that was used in the Las Vegas Massacre that killed fifty nine people last year and the administration has been looking to a ban on stocks but again there still has not been any major gun control control legislation confirmed at the National Level yet here which is the way washington thank you this is due to the news life a burden still to come remembering cold long since the two hundredth birthday of the fall of communism german economists ideas to help change the course of history
so how relevant is there is today. The Swedish Academy has announced that a no Nobel Prize For Literature or will be awarded this year the institution is in crisis over its handling of Sexual Assault allegations against the husband of one of its leading members causing a string of Board Members to leave in recent weeks the prestigious prize has been given to the worlds best writers for more than one hundred years and will return next year. Its not unprecedented but it is rare the Swedish Academy has postponed the twenty eighteen Nobel Prize For Literature. We have decided not to water prize this year and we did that after a long and intense discussion. But we reached the conclusion that the confidence of the academy is so low in the world of the moment that it was the deciding reason why we know refrain from awarding the products. That the body was plunged into
crisis last november when a swedish newspaper published testimonies against this man. Hes married to Swedish Academy member Catarina Frost and son the willed significant influence in swedens Art World Eighteen Women Accused of Sexual Misconduct the accusations include an incident in which he allegedly touched swedens Crown Princess victoria in appropriately denies the claims the revelations and the handling of them so deep discord among the academys members a wave of resignations followed including permanent secretary sorry danny arce. Im sure now. Im leaving the academy it was the wish of the academy that i should leave my role as permanent secretary to get out. Of the ouster of ms dani has prompted an outpouring of support regarded by many as a case example of a woman taking the fall for
a mans bad behavior. Care into naturally as this is a huge scandal internationally norms granddaughter will sound that will truly. And then its unbelievably symbolic when the first woman to hold the post as permanent secretary is forced out when she tries to sort things out the more units the true in the capital. The Nobel Prize For Literature will be postponed until twenty nineteen when the academy will name the laureate. Lets get more on this from v. W. Culture at his account home stats are welcome carol. Eighteen allegations of Sexual Misconduct against the show include no overt no outline of me years over two ok but no action from the Swedish Academy until this whole me to issue explodes the room and youre wondering why well i think women obviously felt empowered by the need to movement to actually make their voices heard as i say this was going on for over
two decades but obviously no one was listening and there were structures in place that were quite effective at keeping things quiet for quite a long time they took advantage of that momentum and as we know many institutions have been slow to react until they get really hit with the bomb and cant do otherwise and we saw in the report that his wife is a member of the Committee Chair of the committee and without but the committee voted against removing her which seems odd given the what looks like a clear Conflict Of Interest death all it does seem odd and i cant really tell you why why they did that and why they caused all this ruckus in their own ranks really dont i really dont know how many people do know that i think you have to be real insider because the Swedish Academy is well known for being an incredibly Secretive Group very nontransparent they literally tried to get away with keeping this quiet so obviously you know i think we can basically grant this the cademy and its
procedure is relics of the Nineteenth Century and they need to get with the times people want to know whats going on. Aside from this that it had to be has maintained a generally good reputation throughout its hundred a year history lets have a little over Two Hundred Thirty actually lets have a look at some of it for the winner. Nobel prize in literature an award to quote denote the most outstanding work in an outstanding direction by conferred the greatest good on mankind that was Alfred Nobels wish when he founded the award One Hundred Seventeen years ago over the past century it has been given to people as diverse as thomas mann. Ernest hemingway. And Winston Churchill for their contributions to world literature. But its more than just a celebration of the worlds literary canon the nobel prizes often help more obscure authors find a wider readership. And this region cademy that overseas the prize has also been accused of taking political positions as well like with the selection of the
average russian journalist is a prominent critic of russian president Vladimir Putin and was selected for Nonfiction Works during the collapse of the soviet union. The decision to award the prize to bob dylan in Twenty Sixteen pours lyrical work caused controversy especially when the american Singer Songwriter seemed to ignore it for weeks afterward one member of the academy reportedly called him rude and arrogant while the Nobel Prize For Literature has had its detractors throughout its history its still remains the most visible and relevant literary prize in the world. How does the economy now go about restoring its reputation well it can start by changing its rules and statutes and. Has actually suggested doing this i dont know if you know that the academy has eighteen members normally and of course with all of these people stepping down theyve got chairs that are left empty those numbers are appointed for life those chairs have been left empty until the members actually technically pass away so they are now working with only ten and they need twelve to
make it viable Quorum Decision so they need to rethink those rules completely modernize reappoint new members and then rethink their Public Relations strategy broaden their horizons and just think transparency transparency transparency thats what you have to do nowadays and this kind of stuff on. The two hundred other version of the birth of perhaps the most divisive thinker of modern history box argued that capitalism would only make the rich richer and the poor poorer today some view him as a visionary others revile him for inspiring the thoughts. Hereon Communist Regimes that killed millions and that conflicted legacies and shot are in the german city of Clear Marxist birthplace Opening Festivities their european commissioner for europe Preamble Commission president John Core Yorker said marx shouldnt be judged
for crimes committed decades after his death was the younger has been criticized for attending the event in the first place protests are also expected on saturday they are varying of a large statue of karl marx presented to the city by china today chinas president described karl marx as the greatest thinker of modern times the double reporter and youre shuffled off the streets of berlin to find out what the people think. Marxs ideas spot revolutions those ideas originated here in berlin and they continue to resonate in the city. In Eight Hundred Thirty Six the eighteen year old car marks came to study at berlins university. He started studying law but soon found he was far more interested in philosophy and history quote in the Entrance Hall of the university of tribute to its former student. Marks wrote the
philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways the point however is to change it mocks didnt just want to theorize about the state of the world he wanted to do something about it he wanted to shake things up. It was the tone of the Industrial Age and while in berlin marx witnessed the plight of poor workers. It was their cause that marx took up his theories of eliminating social injustice by empowering workers started revolutions and changed the map of the world. His ideology was the basis for modern communism and socialism the defining philosophies of the cold war which ended up dividing the world and the city. In former east berlin along much avenues still bears marxs name the boulevard was built as a Propaganda Project by the socialist regime by the workers for the workers. The last Military Parade to celebrate the achievements of the selfstyled workers and Peasants State was held here just a month before the berlin wall fell. But what does mark still mean to people here that a government be had a kind of different idea of how society should work that all of all he runs a lot of good stuff. Of capital for example which is still valid today i started reading the communist manifesto but youve got to have quite a bit of concentration for the can do you know this man. He was a great thinker in this time of course unfortunately things didnt quite turn out the way he predicted always because see invoiced is a. Clever man and a way to book definitely good. Things that are really just as worthy of discussion today. Especially now considering the split in society between rich and poor
because they were produced by them through. Communism as a political system in germany might have fallen with. Some of the people here it is none of their relevance. Lets take a close look at the legacy of karl marx is that thinking in gas solti is from a german is Rosa Luxemburg foundation which is dedicated to promoting democratic socialism around the world theyre hosting a conference on mosques and marxism here in perth it this week welcome to you lets start with using things description of karl marx as the greatest thinkers of modern times deserve to hype what do you think. Its interesting that z. Ping is saying it and he probably has this very own reasons for it and his own interpretation of what mark says work is all about. What i think is cannot be
argued about is that marx was probably the most liked of historical figure with the biggest impact on World History. Hundreds of millions of people were influenced by his ideas workers around the world fighting for better wages higher wages that a Living Conditions and fighting for a better world were drawn into his camp like were citing him reading him were using his ideas to develop a different understanding different understood a understanding of capitalism so in that sense he had probably the biggest impact on World History and in terms of his thought i think that its very difficult to make sense of capitalism the world that we live in without the work of col marx. The young if you have the. Crash lets say the mass and the increasing economic divide between rich and poor proves
that it was right. Now its interesting that in the intro it was you said that it is very divisive because when you look at the way that the newspapers have been talking about calm lives recently now with his two hands and verse three coming up the New York Times said that he was right many newspapers said that he was right so they tend to oftentimes mark is seen as a key intellectual a key analyst of capitalism and i think the crisis actually did did show with that i mean it was really a crushing Mainstream Economics that essentially said that that markets when they were deregulated would leave too would lead to a quick instead weve been seeing the economic imbalances like one you know in the news like the rising inequality that youve just mentioned like the profits really being reaped by the top one percent and not going to workers around the world so apparently there is something that that there are people who are looking for
different interpretations of the world different interpretations of the economy that were living in and thats why many people have been returning to call marx and his work why do you think it is that so many of the states that have been around some of the still do why have so many of the resulted to repression of the people. I think its a question of whether one things that marx was a figure of the One Thousand Nine Hundred Three or a figure of the Twentieth Century of course marx died in One Thousand Nine Hundred Three so all the history of the age of extremes the Twentieth Century with all its violence of world war of fascism of really existing the socialism of State Socialism is a very its very day. The code to trace it back directly to camargue especially since marks did not foresee socialism to succeed in underdeveloped countries marx
was actually at the notion that socialism like the best conditions for socialism would appear where capitalism had developed the contradictions of capitalism namely bringing to life in a. Area of Working Class majority and also developing capitalist Productive Forces to a degree he made notes of seanie but us was what im trying to get to is why is the his teachings and his philosophies used by these these countries vietnam china and all the rest of them to. Even here in. Eastern germany why were trees who moved in the direction seemingly also which the idea of just brutalizing their own people. Well i mean. The historic tragedy i think is that revolution like more socialism that the first attempts to establish a Socialist Society took place in underdeveloped countries still under very very
difficult and terrible conditions and. Like giving birth to in a situation of extreme violence of forces that were trying to of course stick to the status quo to return to the Czarist Russia for instance and then of course there with the end of invasion of foreign powers that also created a situation where violence became a way way of life in those conditions and yet in the companys money festival which. Was with Three Hundred generals angles he said communism can achieve its and only by the force of will overthrow of all existing conditions which again doesnt really leave much room for nonviolent means no thats thats true. I mean marx was a child of his time in that sense i mean he was born in One Thousand Eight Hundred and this is right in the midst of what every cops on the Great British historian
called the age of revolution from Seven Hundred Eighty Nine till Eight Hundred Forty eight so when this idea was that like revolutions were inevitable revolutions were necessary also to create progress to establish capitalist societies like which was a society with the Rule Of Law Etc and marx. Did not mince words that he also believed that those revolutions would take place and his the model of that all those revolutions were modeled after was the Great French Revolution of Seven Hundred Eighty Nine of course today like these words sound a bit archaic because transition towards a a noncapitalist society are conceptualized in very different ways very interesting thank you so much for joining.
