Think the problem he faces is who can bring him down allow him to withdraw other same time saving face its quite a big predicament i mean could she face is. It less than a month to go until general elections in italy tensions seem to be boiling over hundreds of anti fascist activists have come out to protest in the central city of maturity. Just hundreds of supporters of the far right party clashed with police that we could go much about to suffered a racially motivated shooting that left six people injured the shooter was targeting african migrants and said he wanted to avenge the death of an italian woman allegedly killed by a nigerian a silencing. I and the incident is fuel concerns about the possible rise of neo fascist forces in italy national as well as foreign media of weight. In on the story and the shooters lawyer told journalists his client was quoted as a hero in prison place a racial and religious violence has soared in recent years and i think that the shocking numbers that have come from the Italian Police force they say that hate crimes have jumped ten fold in just the last four years ok lets bring in mark about sana hes professor of politics at the university of milan very good evening to you. As i understand its not a place thats usually in the headlines but in just the wake were seeing far out protests that are done to fascist demonstrations is this just a localized issue or does it reflect a much wider concern well its very wider concern all over the world actually. Teeth sashes groups or. Targeting and it happened in the United States and europe everywhere now this. There is a very famous italian writer that fifty years ago said there were two types of factions one is the fascist and the other one is the anti fascist and we witness in that pretty clearly now and its so that is really the answer to the crisis of the left theres not much blue left in the left theres only one thing that keeps them together and its antifascism so they anti fascism and brings them together because nowadays everybody hates market mart free markets capitalism all these sort of things finance its hated by the right the left the center try people everybody hates the free market so what is the real glue thats immigration and anti fascism or anti racism and so that. Just so this is. A matter as you said much around israel in the middle of nowhere and then its a town of like fifty to sixty thousand people thats very peaceful nothing ever happened but there was first an amazing. Crime and then there was a nutcase whose name is luke a trainee tried shocked some african migrants and regionally asian problem for that and it comes out that this guys go to the mine come very close to his that but you know nutcases usually do have to read either the mine come for some or but its my land in so and so i think that if they used this thing to keep the left together with these anti fashions demonstration i dont think there is well ten fold it depends what you mean by hate crimes right so you have to define the better this is a been a lot of Media Coverage on this not just in italy but globally is this going to be a major factor he think in the upcoming general election and not really i dont think this is. Will be a major factor of the left is going on down in italy the center of laughter or whatever you call it and that was in government the center right coalition is probably going to win out in that theyre going to be able to. Win a clear majority to govern the country and then there is the third group of people that is the movement of the five Star Movement theyre probably going to get dark Popular Support easily more than thirty percent but its not the issue is going to be migration its migrants clearly about one hundred six you know hundred eighty thousand and where your comment to this country but not and not case and started to shoot african migrants in in my cerrato will not be the issue Silvio Berlusconi recently called migrants a time bomb we know that as you said immigration is a concern but do the majority of the population share the concern to that extent. I think you easily seventy seventy five percent of the town were very afraid of this wave of my ration you see the last wave of migration came in a country thats got more than twelve thirteen percent of employment right and theyre either paid for by the government that is there on welfare or there are amount of private charting but theyre not making any money of their own the in the past are the people that came in in the past six or seven years you know very small minority of them im a can live in so its not racist its its really this clash of the botton people of the population locals and the migrant theyre going to buy for whatever is left of the welfare state and this is a prediction that as you probably know was already made in the eightys with the first wave of migrant theyre going to pose a real big problem for wealthier states to the welfare states of the web marco greatly appreciate your time thanks so much for being our guest knockabout saw a professor of politics at the university in milan that my pleasure. And pain averse to preventing Research Studies into transgender people he regretted the decision to change sexting tells after the break. The bond market will not crash and this time it will continue to go even lower and negative yields on various bonds will increase from the multi trillion dollars what the negative yielding sovereign debt now to even more multi multi multi trillion dollars of negative yielding sovereign debt and were going to go down the rabbit hole even further but its certainly smells lie with the panic cash withdrawal in places like china and with the sell off in all these various markets and with the oil prices climbing higher gold looking better than weve got here an Old Fashioned reversal. Thats in American Interest to not see any russians die in terrorist attacks as it is in russian interest to prevent any terrorist attacks in the United States or elsewhere in the world so i dont think theres any dispute on that in congress and i think maybe some of the posturing is frankly political as opposed to substantive. South korean president says he is ready to accept an invitation to visit pyongyang from the north Korean Leader if certain conditions are met and this potentially sets up the first meeting between koreas leaders in more than a decade invitation was delivered by kim jong un sister whos attending the Winter Olympics in south korea she is the first member of the north and the ruling family to visit the south of the nine hundred fifty s. She met with president moon or three hour long talks and the Opening Ceremony of the winter games also hinted at thawing ties between the states with both teams marching together. And while Media Attention focused on the vi peace action at the Opening Ceremony it was revealed that not everybody was too happy about the unified korea team u. S. Vice president mike pence made headlines after not standing up as the unified korea team marched during the ceremony reports say he was one of only a few who remained seated and did not applaud and slater explained he came to be young chang to cheer us up please. Still the recent friendly relations between the countries are widely seen as being a breakthrough after the north and south held their first talks for two years Hong Kong City university joseph chang a Political Science professor believes that the president ial invitation is a major step forward this is a small roof president moon of south korea understands that his people would like to see the escalation of tension in the Korean Peninsula conditions normally will be cessation of Nuclear Powers then. Miss out on the part of north korea and north korea in turn will. Terminate of large scale military exercises are on the part of south korea. And the United States. While the two koreas were able to march into a single unified flag and because some russia from the way our team as its known they entered the Opening Ceremony under a neutral flag but although the russian flag was banned by the International OlympicCommittee Still most to make its way into the stadium how many potential explains. No russian flags at the Opening Ceremony nations parade chuang the i. O. C. Set some very strict rules and promised no excuses for anyone whod violate them so who would have thought the russian tricolor would still make it into the ceremony all thanks to a blogger by korean t. V. Just as team france were walking into the arena a russian flag i can well while the zero eight our team were carrying the white a live big flag many russian flags flashed around the arena at the stands but it turned out that not only russians brought them there we spoke to one american fan who grabbed one too and i thought it would be nice to you know show a bit of support for them because theyve basically worked for years for this moment to represent their countries and now they cant and so i was kind of trying to sort of you know help them feel at home i was trying to sort of send a message that they should be included because the olympics is for all countries i dont exactly know the particulars of the doping thing i dont know what the right decision is really im just trying to show a sense of unity im trying to kind of put the politics aside im trying to support these athletes because we know for a fact that these athletes are clean theres no doubt about it but then theyre being punished for what others may or may not have done and so thats a collective guilt and i dont like collective guilt i think when you have all so many verses of beths athletes banned just before the games instead of you know just for the game so they cant appeal they dont actually have any they dont communicate directly what they did wrong but then all their best athletes are sort of banned i think that is too much to be a coincidence. And saturday brought the first the limp pick medal to the way our team or a limb pick at leats of russia it was short track competitor simeon ellis start of earning a bronze which he then dedicated toward those russian athletes who were banned from participating in the games. In other news a psychotherapist and gender specialist in the u. K. Is challenging university which is blocking research into people who regret undergoing gender change caspian claims that the move by bus by university is an attack on free speech is really extremely stressful to find myself in broad in these proceedings which i think should be of great concern to anyone who values free speech in knowledge i do believe that the research ive proposed is important to the well being of the transgendered community of the research proposed by mr caspian was initially approved by academics in twenty fifteen but later dropped in december twenty sixth in High Court Judges ruled in the favor of the University According to mr caspian the you need drop the research because it feared there be a backlash on social media r. T. Discussed this story with walt hire who reversed his decision to become a woman. Ive been back now to my first gender for twenty five years ive been married for twenty years and you know when i discovered. That this holds that this whole transgender thing is built solely on feelings theres absolutely no objective proof that anyone is a transgender except by themself identifying its a transgender is no better call proof that anyone is a transgender and theres no proof that anyone benefits from the surgery over the long term some people like myself feel like we had a good time while it lasted but when the truth rears its ugly head and you want your life back you want to live in reality and not in. You know surgically made transgender life i found out in my many years of working with transgender people that there is a groundswell of people a transitioning im working with them all the time now more and more letters from around the world from people who after five seven twelve maybe fifteen even twenty years they want to transition back calling the surgery and their gender change just pure folly and foolishness and totally unnecessary so they want to help the transition just as ive done with spall university to comment on his decision regarding the caspians research mr caspian sea Research Proposal was not true feast on the grounds of topic between the methodological approach the university was not convinced the press would guarantee the anonymity of his participants and the confidentiality of data on the research aloft the first round of his legal battle that left him to cover the University School costs he then set up a crowdfunding page to cover the expenses and to mount a fresh legal challenge against the university so far his face almost fourteen thousand pounds is what higher again he believes that the universitys being politically motivated in its decision. I think its political absolutely i think its totally political are afraid of the l g b t which is so powerful it would probably overwhelm the university if they start studying this like james cast wanted to do at the university what they would find out is theres a vast number of people who are deep transitioning because they regret having changed their gender so i think theyre fearful of the truth coming out and this is their way of preventing research from being done.

Turn could it be to do with news of a forthcoming trilateral meeting in istanbul between of love to be a putin of russia or one of turkey and has an rouhani of iran lets go straight to tack room now and talk to a professor from the university of tehran moment thanks so much for coming on again so why is the United States doing it is it on the side of isis day or well this whole thing that weve been seeing over the past few years in syria has more to do with iran and israel than anything else the reason why the americans from almost the very beginning alongside the saudis and others and unfortunately the turkish government the reason why they supported the extremists the groups that ultimately became isis and alqaeda and syria among other extremist groups was because they wanted to weaken or destroy the syrian state in order to make things easier for the Israeli Regime and what has happened is now that the Syrian Government with the support of iran russia has by law and the Iraqi Government and iraqi forces as well as volunteers from places like afghanistan now that they have turned the tide against the extremist americans want to seek revenge through other means so they basically occupied a part of syria and they are preventing the Syrian Government from regaining territories. From the very beginning of this whole crisis in syria the americans have been breaking International Law and theyre responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in syria. To put it bluntly the americans always say that president assad is a war cr
