News. It's 5 o 6 g.m.t. This is weekend from the b.b.c. World Service with me Celia Hatton following Harvey wine Harvey Weinstein and others in the u.s. Television and film industry new claims of sexual misconduct have surfaced this time against the chairman and chief executive of c.b.s. Leslie Moonves a New Yorker magazine article by Ronan Farrow details half a dozen women who say Mr Moonves acted inappropriately Chris buckler as our correspondent in Washington what are the allegations against Les Moonves So let's move as he's one of the leading executives in u.s. Television he is an incredibly powerful incredibly influential man and he's been at c.b.s. Itself for almost a quarter of a century at the time he's created a huge number of hits he is very very well respected but these allegations that have been published by The New Yorker magazine they are very serious and they did back in some cases far as in 1980 s. Some go up to the limits to thaw isms unready some of the questions in them are very very serious for Les Moonves to answer so you have 6 women who've spoken to ruin and Pharo has been one of the leading journalists he's looked at the whole me to question he for example did that expose in Harvey Weinstein and he says of the 6 women that he spoke to for described forcible touching or kissing during business meetings and to say they physically intimidated them or threatened to try and wreck their careers in response Leslie Moonves has released a statement which he denies this but he does also say I recognize that there were times decades ago when I may have made some women uncomfortable by making advances those were mistakes and I regret them a mentally but I always understood and respected and abided by the principle that no means no and I have never misused my position to harm or hinder anyone's career this does. Put Leslie Moonves in an uncomfortable position doesn't it because he was involved he's been involved in the Mitsu movement as the movement that really picked up steam after allegations against Harvey Weinstein came to light Yeah he's been one of the leading supporters in terms of the industry in fact helped find one of the one of the groups which is called the Commission on eliminating sexual harassment and advancing a quality in the workplace and of course that's what makes these accusations so powerful and so difficult for him personally there's also some issues as well as far as c.b.s. Is concerned because c.b.s. Has found itself with a number of situations that it's having to deal with because these accusations don't just go to Leslie Moonves they also go to a number of other people within the organization they also make accusations within this this piece in The New Yorker against Jeff Fager who's the chairman of c.b.s. News they question the way c.b.s. News and c.b.s. Itself has handle some allegations of harassment and sexual misconduct and there are serious questions for c.b.s. As an organization here they too have released a statement they say that all a geisha is of personal misconduct are to be taken seriously and the independent directors of c.b.s. Have committed to investigating claims that violate the company's clear policies in that regard it's worth noting that c.b.s. As share has dropped notably on the talk about this New Yorker article being published it was before it was actually published and of course will be someone c.b.s. Will be concerned because Leslie Moonves is seen as such a big figure as such a big leader within that organization Chris Buckley are you listening to the b.b.c. World Service I'm Celia Hatton with we can't tensions have escalated again in recent days between Israel and Hamas the Islamic Group which runs the Gaza Strip comes amid a backdrop of Palestinian protests at Gaza's perimeter fence now in their 18th consecutive weekend at least $150.00. Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops during the protest since March and 1 Israeli soldier has been shot dead by Gaza based militants among the Palestinians killed our 19 children and hundreds more injured something the u.n. Has previously condemned a Middle East Correspondent Tom Bateman has more. This is a road that runs parallel with the events on the side of the Gaza Strip which is driving through the fence to our right you can see Israeli fields and farmland on the other side. And this is an area where the sprawling suburbs of Gaza City almost meet the fence itself. I almost died. I went to the home of Rami helis 2 weeks ago his son often was shot dead by Israeli soldiers as he tried to climb the perimeter fence of men was 14 years old among the large numbers of young people in Gaza attending the weekly protests Why did he go to the front. Of them when the bad. Because he loved his land his country he went like everyone else. After you was martyred may still rest in peace it turned out that he had been going every Friday after he came back I used to ask him where he had been and you would say I was in a coffee shop or I was here or they're going to. The b.b.c. Crew in Gaza was filming his ultimate helis away from the fence used to sling to throw stones at Israeli soldiers a few people burned tires later the 14 year old walked alongside the fence put a hand and a photo on it and pulled himself up about a foot off the ground. He was hit with a single shot to the chest. 19 of those killed since the end of March have been under the age of 18 the number of children with bullet wounds is more than $600.00 according to the UN's humanitarian affairs agency which bases its recent figures on those of Gaza's health ministry Jonathan Cohen Rica's speaks for the Israeli army I mean many people might look at that footage and they will think simply that it was completely disproportionate Well we of course need to investigate happened and we will have anything conclusive we'll take action upon that if action is necessary we've heard in the last week 2 events where sniper fire was conducted from the garden side towards Israeli troops 2 Israeli soldiers have been hit one injured one unfortunately killed a week ago and that has been done using the cover of these so-called demonstrations . At a center in Gaza City of the medical charity m.s.f. They have a rehabilitation clinic What is your name. Is Alice and how old are you mom. About the last 14 years 14 what what happened to you when I see the one and Culshaw he said he was near the fence burning tires on the 3rd of July the soldiers shot him in the leg jump a lot and the love that will last I have an entry are also my bone was a fracture your sitting down now you've got crutches are you learning how to walk properly on this leg and an inch and then I can walk you giving me your sessions offer dressing and also physiotherapy. The protest camps are set well back from the stands organized by a committee of political factions the focus has been on the Palestinian claim of a right of return to the land that is now Israel and on the blockade of Gaza by Israel and Egypt which Israel says is for security reasons the. Please believe her masses use the protests to attempt militant attacks and threaten its population when it doesn't account for lives when I speak to 17 year old at l f I you me he said 3 people had thrown petrol bombs towards the fence he went to help the injured he said and was shot he has had his right leg amputated now he is waiting for a prosthetic limb for which he would need to travel to Turkey. Messages at the mosques and buses later on have boosted the protest why did the boys at the clinic most told me simply they went like everyone else one wanted to give Trump a message he said that Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine another spoke of supporting a Hamas leader attending but Israel says children were used to distract its troops during the incident this week when an Israeli soldier was shot and wounded by Palestinian gunman from the fence area harasses deputy foreign minister is Ghazi Hamad the man goal of this marsh just to get the attention of the international community to the miserable situation in Gaza it's not peaceful it's not all peaceful though is it there have been you know Molotov cocktails people trying to break the fence down explosive devices placed at the fence dollars I think you can say we control 99 percent of the of the marsh maybe there is some stick done was done by some individuals but this is not the excuse for Azhar to kill people the tension along the Gaza boundary has risen there have been a series of military flare ups in recent weeks at least tempeh list Indians have died in Israeli airstrikes on militant sites and Israeli soldier was shot dead and 4 civilians have been wounded in rocket attacks Palestinians have been sending flaming kites and helium filled condoms to burn Israeli fields the air is combustible gases clinics will hope there are not more young patients coming in town. In the recent election in Mexico the left wing candidate undress Manuel Lopez Obrador and his party won in an unprecedented landslide a huge shift to the left took place in Mexico from state governorships to Congress the biggest casualty of the election was the pre the governing party which ran Mexico for 71 years for the 1st time in its history the party even lost in President only k.p. Anemone Atos hometown of. From where will grant reports. Is Mexico's president Enrique Pena Nieto cast his ballot in the recent general election the painted smile on his face suggested he knew the game's out. His center right party the Pre was predicted to therapy to at the national level but he probably didn't expect there was such abject defeat at the local level to using every state they controlled and to complete the humiliation they didn't even carry his home town of Atlanta. At all is synonymous with the Prairie so much so it's known as the party's cradle several founding members came from the city leading to the longstanding rumor in Mexico of a shady group of Atlanta a powerful organization of influential politicians who dominated the prairie and as a result Mexico for decades the party has governed this small city uninterrupted for almost 90 years doesn't mean this could tell us more in a morning or morning or morning until now those at the vote count that night say it was immediately obvious the new coalition party more than are established just 4 years ago by now President elect and his man were Lopez Obrador had won by a landslide local pretty representative that ink of the last Gong is angry at her party's leadership for what she says was a culture of arrogance and complacency met that they had come with us and we had better come only then. You won't hear this from the candidates but as activists we knew this defeat was coming and was necessary the pre has become lazy so it was always no problem with the pre This is Africa moco of course we're going to win but to those of us on the ground it was obvious that it was going to be very difficult and that if we'd won it would have been by very little is the best of us and the complete This is a God and that he must have put in my book Things were so bad doubting says the party's leaders initially claimed victory on Election Night and even let off fireworks in celebration. Just a short walk around the city center shows how ubiquitous the pre has been enough over the years even in his wildest dreams Mr Lopez Obrador probably didn't expect to take this place the heartland of the prairie where even the streets and named after the party's founding members and yet the wind here above almost anywhere else in the country shows just how drastically the political map in Mexico has changed. Was a little bit of a defeat them like a ton of bricks says shoe shine a robot on trash good humored man in his fifty's they thought the gold mine would never end he jokes. Plenty of his customers have enjoyed the collapse of the pre almost no one in the town can remember living under any other party in power no wonder they were ready for a change but the. New it was always the same people says Gabby who runs a nearby store selling sweets and soft drinks it was like a cycle of just the same faces so now we see new people with different experiences who bring new ideas. Here. In large part to the public exhaustion with the governing party came from its leadership under President Pena Nieto both his administration and his family will improve. In a series of financial scandals one which stuck particularly badly to him was over his home that Casablanca ostensibly in his wife's name purchased from a government contract and worth millions more than she ever officially earned add to that the di a security and crime situation across Mexico and the slow economic growth and it quickly becomes clear the priest presidential candidate former finance minister Jose Antonio meat never stood a chance not that might that therefore what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and they haven't killed us this is just a change Chimelis the marriage at home she ran for Congress but lost and now is about to be replaced as man by the more in a candid it in a combative mood when I met her a few days after the defeat she seemed unable to fully comprehend the party's downfall I guess the reckless Yes I get the matter but can also lengthen as once I get a lot of looks young and we have to reflect and take action I don't think this is the death of the pre even a some of our opponents have come here to the city center carrying coffins which I think is in very poor taste get a mother but I say they're more in values that Arafat is I think. The pretty headquarters not a cleaning lady is taking down the full lawn looking campaign posters still hanging across the building reminder of the party's worst result in its history for decades in Mexico the pre simply was the state today they are a minor party in Congress line behind the far right evangelists on the far left Workers' Party for Mexicans so used to the presumed presence a future with them on the political sidelines is very strange and exciting in equal measure. I will grant this is the b.b.c. World Service It's 21 minutes past the hour. Our top headline the American t.v. Network c.b.s.
