9:00 pm
any of these will come soon when i can get it working on the phones or. you know i'll be the one that will shepherd's arrives so i i don't know if it is a problem but. i'm not sure i'm not convinced. and it seems i am not the only one who is not convinced just look around you you call me sick people cannot put their devices away the very long. time is so precious we want to spend as much of it as we can making digital contributions the thing is we're not even ashamed of it. evil is a way this latest picture from the artist banksy shows just how much this is now a social issue a couple's loving embrace interrupted by the desire to see what others are doing. the increase in the use of hunting technology is the most rapid in the history of humankind people are taking to these increasingly although i mean just talk us
9:01 pm
through the way people of adopt a digital devices over the years ok so ten years ago social media didn't really exist at all and now we're at the stage where three hundred fifty million messages are being shed each day on facebook we've got about four hundred million photos being shed and eight years worth of video is created on you tube every single day and really social media has become part of the fabric of our everyday life it's into woven in everything that we do whether we like it or not it is part of our lives and it's there to stay and if anything we're going to see the rate of growth increase dramatically over the next few years so where do you see it going then you say it's going to be increasing dramatically how dramatically we're creating more data more information than ever ninety percent of all of the data that is being created by mankind is actually being created in the last two years and that's going to grow exponentially we expect in the next two years. all times the data that is
9:02 pm
ever being created will be created and that's made up of largely consumer data plus a lot of selfies it is an awful lot of selfies and the thing is that that's being stored for life and consumers don't understand that the photos selfies that they take today are there forever is it worrying when you look at for example this week we saw the announcement of this new watch people are going to be tracked more and more and these these organizations don't just sell these devices as a solution but will make phone calls or something you can check facebook or twitter or they're marketed as everything you can take photographs you can control things is that deliberate to draw people and. what these companies are doing is they're responding by in large to consumer needs in consumer demands what i don't know if you could say that they're creating them as well i think steve jobs is one third the customer doesn't know what they want until they show it now what customers don't know is they don't know the device they want but they know the benefits they
9:03 pm
want life so if you ask people they say what would you like they're not very good at explaining the technology or even the social networks they want but they know the benefits and so what organizations tend to do is create the hardware or the software which meets the needs and some of those needs are about self presentation about looking good about expressing to other people all the great things in life that you do and particularly that's part of digital addiction that people want to make themselves look really positives their friends want to show off their lifestyles and so owning the right kind of device at the right time is really important to you and it gives you a social currency and devices that enable them to do that seem to be very successful. the global adoption of hunter knology has been aided and abetted by the seductive lines of the latest sleek designs global giants like apple a synonymous. with the almost religious fervor that surrounds the launch of their
9:04 pm
products have each event seems to feed an expected following all addicted to even t.v.'s. was i arranged to speak to one of our friends form an in-store tech support of police and member of the so-called genius bar he's day after day he had to deal with the anxiety of customers waiting for the repair of the faulty device previously critical of apple he's asked us to keep his identity a secret whether ever signs of violence or real you know extremes that are absolutely absolutely there are. there is not much secret made about the loss prevention teams who are exploits for sex work teams who patrol partially because what you have x. what teams in the stores in certain services your wife. partially because there is
9:05 pm
such a high amount of expenses stop you there are several million dollars in the back of the store so bad that works a certain amount of protection but a certain amount of physical protection for the employees also has to do with the fact that people grow very angry when they feel frustrated or when they feel confused or when they feel stressed and that happens a lot with technology that happens a lot when your technology doesn't work that you personally if you feel these products coming at the absolute i'm happily addicted to my own devices i feel that most of the people who work with me would say the same there's not too much reason not to to be attached to your device in a way is sort of to feel as though you're just more attached to the world. the incredible rate at which this digital revolution has hit means that attention we're now living in a digitally divided society there are adults who can remember a so-called. simpler time and age when there was no internet there were no
9:06 pm
connecting points. on the way but you see you all approach. to develop new suit online as accused of behavior a challenge never faced by any generation before do you ever if you have a question somebody stole from facebook. you do know you said that without even without even thinking about stuff. i would do it. not exactly facebook. like. there's a. slight you see the. to look like a. good album like every single. i wouldn't do that so. for them and have a look what they're doing to. create the you know way that you know like every single you've got to be careful because when you scroll down you can accidentally like if
9:07 pm
you. think you're going to be like you were like eighty three weeks ago and even then it's just weird when somebody does it in the next well it's like the people you've been. that know that you hold still for you just. because they see in the next day it's like all right there's the whole is this like a bacon game is like a whole this was that people were people talk to each over if you're applying or they said about time you start to get like the wrong idea of things i have a texting is you can always read what i'm trying to say to you because you can hear their voice you can sort of see them sort of nodding i always find myself when i'm texting sort of. i'm sort of as if it was a conversation and i find myself thinking well how do i say about context. when you're texting because if you say it was like quite mean. something very serious. for mix a good self by getting the right facial expression is good because they just want to. you know. it's like you know all hopkins. people the trend nowadays for
9:08 pm
male selfies is like just. browse and then head to your forehead. yeah it's true a lot of stuff but yeah i'm pretty guilty of that to say that i like our. older members of the community seem to fall into two groups the heavy uses of technology for work and even citing this is the staus of the end of society but all of the people i spoke to all uses of some sort when somebody you put your facebook and you get somebody clicks like this pops up it's for like your status how does it make you feel well when i first started using facebook i was quite cool feel quite good through it now my ego is ok.
9:09 pm
and it's about you know you know when i put stuff out there you know you put. people put comments and. i remember going back and looking to see if anyone's liked it or not but i can't do anything anymore i've had enough i just think the business of facebook is emphasizing the centric nature of people a sort of a breathtaking arrogance and people who seem to think that other people were know. about their lives i just find that so. i wouldn't want to be sharing that you don't want to know with a problem absolutely. i mean. i wouldn't say i was addicted i think. people addicted and they're actually made perhaps it's more of a compulsion to have a look at facebook or or instagram. i don't like the feeling when you go on holiday
9:10 pm
and you haven't got a very good signal that spoils my holiday as you can camping is that why you get away from all oh yeah you get away from certain things but i don't like getting away from feeling connected if the signal bar drops down too low or the snow for each of us that's a holiday ruinous for me and the three g.'s look kind of like you know internet these days yeah you're retired but i must be addicted because. i have a mobile phone and. laptop around with me. so i'm not left behind it's a great tool for following your family when you're not close it's. like skype built these things are terrific to see if they used properly i get i get physically i physically excited and stuff makes me smile if i see a bit technology and i think while there's somebody you know that is going to either save me time it's going to be useful you know if i didn't look at my.
9:11 pm
email for a week i'd have five hundred e-mails and a lot of them would need need actioning i'm brutha this is it is i mean there are some just haven't got time to manage to reply to me or. does. me slightly. feel like this. need someone tell me have to do. you know. i think i'm going to fly the flag just irresponsible joy it's not attached to the demands of other people through work or just because everybody's out there and accessible. i'm starting to think that my use of technology isn't really about it's certainly not any more or any less than lots of people who i speak to so surely we can all be addicted can we check it at a clinic in connecticut with dr david green field a professor of psychiatry and a man who claims to be able to cure people. if they did util addictions could i be
9:12 pm
classed as an either or my just self diagnosis well i don't i don't know if you're an addict i mean the question is do you feel uncomfortable if you don't have your fix of technology or have your phone with you all the time so you probably fall into the category of at least abusing it and somebody that might look at their level of view we're going to help you begin to desensitize your use of digital technology or the internet and the way we do that is using a device that uses a technique called. the r. stands for a movement desensitisation the reprocessing so what we're going to do is i'm going to ask you to imagine. on a scale of zero to ten. what it would feel like to not have your phone with you for a period of time your eyes are going to follow the lights as they move back and forth
9:13 pm
and there's going to be an audio signal that will also move back and forth what this does is is the hemispheres of the brain and what i've seen when i've used it is that it can actually lower the experience of discomfort or craving for something and somebody has lived through this natural physiological response and what we know is that the use of the internet and particularly certain tahn tent on the internet elevates dopamine just like gambling does and just like cocaine does and other drugs. what the internet is is it's the world's largest slot machine every time you go on it whether it's to search for a piece of information check an email a facebook update a tax it doesn't really matter the fact that it's unpredictable in terms of what and when is what contributes to the addictive nature of the internet because that variable ratio reinforcement schedule. is the way this machine operates that's why
9:14 pm
people stand in front of the slot machine all day long pushing that button hoping that they're going to win something because every once in a while they do what that means is that you have not get what you want one of these devices for a long long time before you put it down and not pay attention to it anymore. having had the therapy i've got to say it didn't really relieve my desire to be connected but his theories do seem logical and they've set me thinking about where all of this started the reality is that our addictions to gadgets emerged from our use of new technology developed here tech central also known as silicon valley you only have to drive around to see who the big residents saw in this neighborhood the home of startups and global brands like apple and google this place has a reputation for turning small ideas into life changing obsessions in two thousand and thirteen social networking giant facebook was the name on everybody's computer
9:15 pm
tablets and phone with the stock market the creation of the world's youngest billionaire mark zuckerberg ritually working with mark in the early days his sister randi she subsequently left and written about tech addiction and the message from her is clear do not get hooked is there almost like a collective responsibility for this place to say to the world you know it's just watch out here after i left facebook i spent a year about traveling the world and just talking to people and saying you know is technology and net positive in your life if you feel like it's not why isn't it and i think people in suck about it it's easy when you're here to get caught up in that world of you know what are we disrupting today what are we innovating let's go let's go but when you pick your head up and you talk to people people are scared of technology and all this rapid change they're over. well meant by the change that
9:16 pm
it's bringing to their families to their work to their love lives to everything we're walking this really fine line i think all the time with tech because it's creating all this innovation is creating so much opportunity but with any new innovation there are all these complications that come after the fact sometimes along after the fact that we don't know for example we don't know the effect of this technology on young children's brains maybe it's completely rewiring their brain in a new way that's going to render our current education systems just completely moot i think as a society we're getting a lot more conscious around what wellness means and it certainly doesn't mean being glued to a device twenty four hours a day worrying words from someone who wants up ok to be always on and being always socially connected and the irony is that just up the road from silicon valley is somewhere trying to help those who just switch off tomorrow i will enter
9:17 pm
a digital detox program called grounded i'm going in as a journalist but i'm going to be on the cover of psych one hundred over. in there for four days we can't use our real names there is no talk of work the outside world might as well not exist question is can something like this really end up session with technology. a reporter's retreat in a brutal civil war if the commodore hadn't been the israeli invasion would not have been so world. the commodore had become a journalistic center you could be in the safe enclave and then you went out into civil war and started off leaving this sweet. the next room i was in was underground and the prison so as a hostage beirut the commodore war hotels on al-jazeera.

9:21 pm
those are the headlines to keep it here on al-jazeera throughout the day much more news to come out as here our correspondent is up next. my campground experience starts to soon as i join my fellow companies on the morning bus right there. real quick we get it done. but how to get another song that we cannot. get is a no holds barred american experience games city songs on the final opportunity to get lost internet get. it. out.
9:22 pm
there we are on the costs because. i. heard it was my first. reply at the bottom of my foot away because it's out for the. very day but quite honestly i am a shy brit who is way to step i may be smiling on the outside but inside filled with friends the next few days still. gets a bit of a weird experiences like the first place cool political goodness i found it a little bit lonely at first i'm going to be here a few hours i was thinking in the real world and i was told be to search for my phone a lot you know just fiddle as
9:23 pm
a kind of way of not feeling like you know i'm sort of the outsider here but a confidant and it's a kind of situation where you have to make an effort you have to talk to people. you know and if you're shy which i. in some circumstances then it's kind of weird having to do that but that's what the whole experience is about. what camp rules are really clear they state that we must lock away all of our devices for the anti a generation of our state we will see them again of course but at the end and i've got to say it feels really funny and one of my most treasured possessions to want such done we are pretty divided into individual camps claimed after animals so square responses and so on i am in the bear camp and our mascot as a psyche pink bear joined by our jealously guarded camp flag the new likes six or seven people in all village called by small village called the bird species and
9:24 pm
like a whole lot. of science which we're probably going to later in front of everybody has to be really weird. started off with meditation which i went into you quite closed minded lee. and then there was some weird bonding games. you know there's always people shouting things it's all been really quiet corner a quiet little brace life my. business is totally bonkers. there and it was a real effort to join in and not kind of just sort of look at it like there's an outsider. what is going on here because it's a night is going to be a pair of zeros how welcome thing is like an m.p.
9:25 pm
fit or the time we're going to visit and we'll have the door kind of group down soon it's it's already crazy i'm going to fight quite difficult to join in without thinking claire whatever my theory here. we were i was. was. was. was. we at
9:26 pm
it was have been a was her they. was are was. was take yes for showing that. we would be really weird if we didn't have you guys hit me up. and so we're going to get into. a. play dance and the ability and sharing and crying and creating and making and reflecting and sitting in trees and sitting in your incentive with people that are named silly news and then i brought. that up and
9:27 pm
we're going to have a surreal moment. that they're honoring that have been in my head he had. the must of mind behind all of this is the cars must. levi bets and by his company . so i was working in los angeles as a vice president of a tech company is twenty four years old and building technologies that help nonprofits get the word out and raise money so good great job fantastic environment working sixty hours a week at i phone and a blackberry had multiple laptops lead to my phone and my bad you know living the kind of silicon valley tech dream in los angeles and so one day i felt really sick so i stopped at the hospital on the test of my blood and found that i was actually down to about thirty six percent of my blood left and i found a small laceration and i saw figures and i didn't bleeding internally for like a week you know i didn't realize that i was so busy caught up on twitter and
9:28 pm
facebook and social media and building technologies that help change the world that i was so disconnected from my own reality and so we have a do you. get away. to me. after taking it to you every trees in southeast asia you came back to the u.s. now knowing what to do and. just go and i got on a street corner and i got on a bus and everyone on the bus was like this and i just left southeast asia where i was on buses of knowingness about my language of connecting with everyone now i'm back in time to save my home and i can't have a conversation with anybody because everyone's face that they're going to so a few months later we realize that everyone is always on everyone is at the level that i had been on for years before having followers and and always connected to their devices and worried about their own personal brands instead of their own personal families and so my girlfriend my partner and i decided let's take people on retreats and so that's when we want. summer camp.
9:29 pm
i'm on the cover in the camp to try to have an authentic experience that makes it difficult to come and tell you just how i'm really feeling i find a moment. join the cum fire to sneak out and speak we just heard another big session about it's come fires with lots of singing we sang the come crowd the theme song which was all about facebook and tell you my book prof and your i phone going out of the tree. it was a really clear we experience god didn't warm to it at school i felt quite excluded up point and that was when i want to just kind of immerse myself in my own little world you know quite happily i would have pulled off and just saw that and played with it in the end i just sat there for the of my life's this test tried to look like i was really enjoying it maybe by the end of the three i'll be feeling from a lot different.
9:30 pm
tempo does change a lot throughout the day it's probably been put together very scientifically you know there's probably some kind of psychology involved i'm sure there is take this morning for example we were one slight. since time is bound here the only time is now that's where you told us this. i assume it was about half past five. or so and. we got up on some coffee and then there was yoga which was very nice of peacefulness first light in the sun scrutiny truisms very pretty. and then we went back to. the village villages we'll have breakfast together and it's kind of all
9:31 pm
eggs and going all the natural stuff and then we have a bonding thing where we come to create a den you know it's like being six years old again there was an old hall and there's an old sheet christmas tree their. oil white reflection tied very height. as well can. they when you go in. hibernating for the council out to lunch time they. don't pull way off the fairway great.
9:32 pm
city and then all of sudden athletes. and they decided that we were going to sing songs of course you know this is very important we have to face every single american with the red meow so you know it sounded surreal. to me was a real contrast last night you know last night if i'm skipping around the room i was thinking what the hell is going on here where are my things people might get arrested i was like just in college do you know me you have the form. was this like a real temperature and it's quite emotionally draining but it's also you know it's going to feels very rewarding or dislike for. at the camp we're provided with lots of creative activities presumably to keep us distracted from our devices and maybe it's a fill the void left over by hunting and also. to remind us how reliant we've become all technology there all the other log equivalents. you now have to use
9:33 pm
human powered search engine this wouldn't inbox a disposable camera and of course we have to use it's high price or if we actually want to price anything i decided that i was going to write a diary or a journal was the call there and there's an area just over that way which is called the typewriter range which is converted shooting range just a bank of eight or ten so my brights is. all modern technology here isn't it. if you were to walk past this in an office back home you say you wouldn't notice it but actually a really beautiful piece of machinery you know i mean it really frustrating because every time you slightly catch one of the latter two of them popped up together they got stuck in your stocking to pull back in color of your finger. to make she calls . herself and also and it breaks the concentration and then you find yourself
9:34 pm
drifting off your things. which she wouldn't do if you said you were locked up because you just be could be placed on focus. but still we all find ourselves and i i know i'm not alone in this pulling off phones out of our pockets and just checking the anyway. but we do it because otherwise. some kind of hope that somebody is trying to get contact with us. people have been talking about this on some vibration thing where people where they are imagining their phones in their pockets vibrating which sounded kind of weird. and the the before. but it happened to me three times yesterday i had my disposable camera in my pocket you know there's no there's no. power in that at all it's completely mechanical. and i actually did feel vibrations in my pocket and i moved in there and realized that what we doing nothing in there my camera. but it was it wasn't what it was
9:35 pm
a mental thing i actually felt it so. the disposable comes vibrant. probably not maybe i'm just going crazy. you know but this is what going crazy goes like that a collaborative creating it's very nice. people are grounded to escape being interviewed for television is definitely not on their agenda but two of my companies for brits and lego have agreed to appear on camera. we find that you have science full of it it was like the problem was it was a real issue part of it is like i don't long with sort of been in the moments you know my scene on facebook and why i used to be and i got off by about three years ago and part of there was i find myself i found myself always. finding
9:36 pm
a moment to share and realizing i actually did enjoy the moment it was more about i got these trees how can i share this moment with other people as opposed to me just enjoying the tree enjoying the scenery and so i found that to be a problem i found myself never really being in the moment always trying to have other people be here with me he will they were never there you know we'd be at the dinner table i might go to lunch with three or four coworkers and. you know one would say now you're always takes you know you're talking to work and she put it down first i'd get upset because our g.'s let me do what i need to do within a sort of realizing that when i sort of seen other people that i understood. why i was so bothersome you know because it was like what is it. what is it that's so important out there that i took the time to sit down with you that you have to do something else and i realize that that's what i was doing as i would like and i'd be take just half an hour with this person. brief story
9:37 pm
reminds me of the life i'm trying to leave behind i'm just not so departing in a day or so and come to mind i'm like you and i consider some weights and you know and you detox and fight life's. so you and i both leave right we go have another conversation our friends and we're both really trying to engage and they're checking their phone the whole time we're going to say to me so annoying right how how i think about like that like was that going to be like i'm going to say something i'm going to be like can you put that away for a little bit can we have half an hour like how my going to deal with that because you know i think about that if i'm going to put energy into this conversation and connecting with you in the right eye contact how long we've been looking for the right now the right with no with the limited or no distraction when does that ever happen outside of here right because someone will break it break and probably because of a phone yeah yeah interest me so i know my my mom died last year. lost my.
9:38 pm
thank you i'd never. thought about it and so you just mentioned it then but she was ill for a long time and she was. especially me that was one solid body grew and then became her bedroom. ice that she got when i'd go home to see her and she'd be talking to me and i'd be on my phone. she was trying to engage me in conversation and i was just you know yeah yeah. yeah everything away treating some people who i don't even remember who they were you know now so. to talk to. the quiet seclusion of the forest is giving me the time of the space. i need for reflection. before our evening meal all of us are being encouraged to go back to our villages get changed into white clothing and take time to pause to reflect on super pac.
9:39 pm
trust him once because it was the summer solstice it was the longest day of the year so there's going to be some salsas dana. let me reach hunt is a stray small brown envelope envelope inside it some just a small piece of able to hear how fears of things that hold you back. that it was a small pencil in there it is such an everyone else wants to won't fail for one thing we feel. fear all regrets because we haven't done it tonight. the big bell rang. everybody likes on bees just started to turn around to the trucks started walking towards the towards the main area to this kind of gently
9:40 pm
moving queue which was leading towards a big bonfire they'd be set up people were going and they were they were throwing the fire. the fun for to be there with rights the fears the things that they were told that they should get rid of. we had a silent and that a long table scene far table set outside it was obsolete to say there was to some music going on there was simply chanting but everybody was asked to eat the food inside there. you told you the reason for this is really pretty shady one that it sounds a bit crazy might be watching this thing through what is healing well but it's actually worse you know i unfold my napkin i supported it as it unfolded and thought you know he will probably do this and soaps will have
9:41 pm
a patent on it and then came see eating the foods you know i don't see really quick and so on. it's a really slowly i was thinking i'm really enjoying toast this is a really nice this is a pretty nice meal actually. i didn't know how soon church it or some of the types of the time it felt i felt a little bit cultish you know like this was some kind of weird religious cult if you've ever seen the seventy's before we come out it's about you know all these kind of weird people just walking around and then there's this kind of big battle be wrong of this people trying things on board fire no one's talking. or saying this is some kind of science some are going to happen it's news of the supply chain it pops a minute. but i thought about the thing that i put in that regrets. it was like it was and sounds really silly about watches that think he's gone
9:42 pm
crazy he's become assimilated sex by this group mentality this cult thing but you know of course i know what it was and it's something that i have always regretted but. i don't regret it anymore because it's gone now it's done and it's prostitutes or if i feel like it's left me. it is really amazing. that a bunch of strangers. get weird and feel normal that. way. you know this kind of cold we can't close down so slowly right. it just feels like it's lost forever and there's been this kind of clock ticking towards the last day and. i think people. you know sort of dreading the end of experience everybody has had just the most amazing fall some time.
9:43 pm
this has been just a completely. incredible incredible experience almost from the experience of my entire life this place you know i don't see i like me because my right here hated it actually hated from last year few hours. and i was kind of thinking you know i'm . kind of feel changed. it's weird but i don't know i just. i feel like i don't want to howard this. is there all the time anymore this device that kind of ruled my life. in so many ways diversities was insignificant things that really matter. i feel so much more optimistic. i feel like very different person.
9:44 pm
i i thought i was. two months have passed and now i am back in london campground it seems a world away a lifetime ago. i had every good intention of starting over but it began with a text then an email i didn't have a choice i have a job that requires me to be connected maybe that looks like an excuse that's what addicks do right they try to validate their behavior but there is some truth in it there's always some truth in it. it's hard to give up something you like doing and for me that is being connected and not wanting to miss out on things again i am back to where i started i'm as addictive as i ever was maybe my friends were right
9:45 pm

9:50 pm
they call police brutality after this footage went viral france's interior minister says none of the high school students were injured during the arrests in the town of. it will still make those are the pictures of the young people a recent hard to watch if you want to say it but i think it's important to put them into context there is truth there is contrary and there is also exploitation by some people expect this of so if you do that we found that high school students who are participating in blockades who joined by around one hundred included individuals with sticks and seen dri devices with the film intention to battle with security forces these are not movements from high school students but real urban violence. anger over the video has put more momentum behind protests in central paris where thousands of students have gathered a security crackdown including the deployment of nearly ninety thousand police officers nationwide will try to prevent
9:51 pm
a repeat of last weekend's riots go live now to david chaytor who is and paris so david tell us more about why these high school students are demonstrating and what are the security measures being taken to deal with all of this. well as you were saying the security measures are president there will be eight thousand police on juji here in in paris for the demonstrations tomorrow eighty nine thousand or so right across the country i've also in paris there will be another set of unprecedented measures the interior minister is inspecting the armored cars that are going to be used during the protests will be used to drive through any barricades school fires set up by the protesters and so this is also the caring at a time when most of the famous tourist spots here in paris are being closed down
9:52 pm
like the movie i thought the op to triomphe which was desecrated by extremists in the action last saturday and the whole cost areas of central paris will be blocked off. by police police barriers to traffic so we've not seen and hearing like this before and because of the the raw about the police tactics and those pictures of students that you saw the mood is turning angry and ugly here. david you have been talking to people there tell us what they're saying. yes i mean did the student protest is adding a new dimension and a new momentum they will be joining the protests in paris tomorrow and we've seen spontaneous demonstrations throughout the country from high school students and from undergraduates protesting against the changes to the baccalaureate exam which
9:53 pm
everybody has to take before going out to university it's getting harder for people from poorer families to get into university that's what making them angry the putting the fees up for foreign students they believe that they'll be next so the costs of education will be going much higher that's what's motivating them to come into the protest i've been speaking to one of them particularly and he represents pretty fairly what the mood is here at the moment what he had to say. i think it's it's quite sad because when you when it's has always been a country where we can say with people going and going this to be saying. and illustrate and now is my point like they were hard to demonstrate because the. police officers are very. very likely they are an m.p. say they are very very high and they they they were not before but they can be
9:54 pm
violent for. not standing up. so we just heard the president emanuel mccraw has refused to meet any representatives of the l a vest and that's one of the founders of the movement and it drew. away a truck driver has actually been arrested trying to get into d.c. so it looks like a long day ahead and the fears of violence are still there for tomorrow's demonstration all right david chaytor live for us in paris david thank you as president donald trump has lashed out against the federal investigation into possible collusion between russia and his two thousand and sixteen election campaign series of early morning tweets came ahead of newt tells expect that on friday that could shed new light on how to of trump's closest former aides have helped or hindered special counsel robert mueller probe for more on this is go to kimberly halkett live in washington d.c. kimberly it's it's expected to be a busy day in washington tell us more about why the president might be feeling some
9:55 pm
pressure. you're absolutely right there are so many moving parts happening with this rush hour probe that we're following here on friday in washington as you point out the first one is that the special counsel robert muller is expected to file in court sort of the explanation of why he believes donald trump's former campaign chair paul man of fort violated his plea agreement with the special counsel in essence why the special counsel believes paul metaphor lied to the f.b.i. why are we watching this very carefully because what this is going to do it's going to shed light on the case in the probe in the direction it's been taking in terms of how the special counsel believes that the u.s. president his presidential campaign may have colluded with russia why there is potential interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. election the other thing that we're following very carefully is that a former advisor to the trunk campaign george papadopoulos will be released from prison and so he has been vocal speaking to the media in the past and will be
9:56 pm
watching that very carefully as well we are watching it twenty in new york there is potentially some sentencing memos that need to be filed with regard to michael cohen a longtime aide to the president and finally we're also watching very carefully for the testimony which is taking place behind closed doors up on capitol hill but this is the former f.b.i. director james comey who of course donald trump fired now james comey wanted this these hearings with the intelligence committees the house committees rather to be public they're not going to be public but the transcripts should be released at some point all collectively what does this tell us this tells us the direction that this probe is going and could bring light to the investigation which of course has been clouded in secrecy for some time that is quite a list of things for us to keep our eyes on to believe in addition to that it is already been a really really rough week for for the president. yes and we're noticing that he's
9:57 pm
feeling the pressure remember just a few days ago richelle when in fact we had the revelation coming from the filing again from the special counsel sensually about why he was recommending there should be no jail time served for the former national security adviser under donald trump michael flynn essentially what it looks like is that he has cooperated substantially is the wording that the office used with regard to that so the president seems to and has been throughout the week feeling the pressure but it really hit a high point in just the last couple of hours five tweets almost a stream of consciousness of anger lashing out at robert muller accusing him of being best friends with the former f.b.i. director that he has conflicts of interest donald trump going on to say pointing the finger at angry democrats crooked hillary clinton things we've all heard before but the fact that there were five tweets in just a matter of a couple of hours shows this president is feeling not only the pressure but potentially worried about what could come to light on friday being today in the
9:58 pm
next twelve hours that's almost like rage tweeting if you will really help it live for us in washington and really. president trump is expected to pick heather nauert to be his new ambassador to the united nations now is the spokeswoman for the u.s. state department or nomination we need to be endorsed by the republican controlled senate if she is approved she will replace nikki haley who leaves at the end of this month. germany's ruling christian democrat party has set select a new leader to replace chance along the merkel she has given her last speech as party leader and the head of the second ballots one thousand delegates will choose between three candidates to replace marco including her protege i'm great crop of our and a former rival of hers frederick merce arkell is not seeking re-election but the winner will determine how long she can stay on as chancellor first the hindus are still in the dis up shoots your friends after over eighteen years this will be my last speech as the leader of the german c.d.u. party we've always known that the party is never just one person by him or herself
9:59 pm
but always all members together the local branches district chapters state associations unions national and federal states amorous polities hand and hand and it was not long ago that we experienced how much strength and momentum we can develop together even though we are facing headwinds more on let's go live now to dominic cain who is a homburg dominick she is not on the ballot but in many ways marco really is. yes absolutely when she finished her speech she received your survey which lasted more than ten minutes right now the person she wants to win this election is speaking behind me and a good come come by all the former prime minister of zion and the current general secretary of the party very much the protege of angela merkel that some of the chancellor wants to win this election thank you very much i think i'm here before she generates think it's been going on for the best part of twenty minutes before
10:00 pm
a grand jury question will be when the following speak you speak what reception will they get because the vote will decide who the new leader of this party is going to be is coming up very soon this is the last chance the last pitch these candidates can make and there is a battle of beliefs that's going on here does this party want to stick with continue to doesn't want to stick in the center group that's trying them out. picture this coffee for the best part of. her preferred candidate from three other candidates specifically melts that rival who was frozen out of politics buying an american who's come back in a blaze of publicity saying he wants to route back those c.d.u. voters who went to the populist far right party or who have a chance to speak in a few minutes the question will be what sort of support will he get here and then crucially how will the vote go we should know in the space of the next hour or so all right dominick live for us at our thank you.
