in the course louis and weigh in are joined by another activist charles. because george mitchell. says the men discussed a recent night out. the first to move the focus to keep their home if it was for the press corps on who food and sit in the crew to clean grease which is very typical maybe notably cruise it will because because it is so opinion or even you know if possible to fall off with me if i'm sufficient or is it really just me consider. a few story pieces for me to look at circulars for the book. shelter for the question you know. if they are looking for a somebody would say to you it. was usually.

the man who led the violence against the arab youths is ready for least. rescission but if you're coming. why should come. for. the movie the moment you don't refuse you've got a freak. accident or. worse. bones move which will be just one more tool was. one. of the. generation identities roots are in france the group rose to prominence when it occupied a mosque in twenty eight. than has called for a national referendum on muslim immigration.

and there are a generation identity fronts is their main battleground in europe that's quite simply because the muslim community in the country is the largest in europe on the op. if you so and above all a front has been the victim of terrorist attacks in recent years on health and the . weather in the battle plan that charlie hebdo war nice with mr fox more so than other countries in europe. remy follies boasts that if he were to mount a reprise of the attack he would target a market in the least popular with muslims if you know this film almost took about it was able to. keep it. short of a mystery i can't imagine trying to do a good to see the pure shit. actually why didn't you mean you didn't. wouldn't most of what your book that. disconnect i don't you just say good luck to.

you just. people conclude. that you are good folks like you. with all of this is your lucky. book. up found those. times to show. he is laughing with his friends about a potential terrorist attack. this is very interesting because there are many foreign groups in france at the moment which have either been dismantled or laura being investigated by the police because they have been preparing actions against muslims or arabs and when you know what i was that is are so what we see here is that the identity ariens are themselves ending up as potential terrorists.

recently a stranger came to the citadel. he was told what happened afterwards by the legal boss of generation identity. why he's waited crack took. us. to just reviewed it the series you are calling for the media to look for explosives. when it was warm say here it is because of the. economy of that joey as well that they don't know what kelly's actually remain here the selective significance is not good if you suck up to the. reporter as the many accounts of physical assaults the g.i.'s had of activism in neil insists that the movement has turned its back on violence no call it joseph. or. even if these are the source of. concern to the

year you don't switch we've got to go and we expose a generation i can see a leader working for the national front. reason. a helper of victims of sexual violence in the democratic republic of congo and a survivor of sexual abuse and trafficking in iraq for this year's recipients of the nobel peace prize will be interviewing nadia murat and dennis mccuaig a vides here in oslo soon hall we'll talk to them about their efforts to heal women victims of sexual violence and their quest for justice joining us live for the no doubt interview on al-jazeera.

al-jazeera. swear every u.s. . so i'm maryam namazie in london just a quick look at the headlines now fiance of mudded saudi janice jamal khashoggi has spoken exclusively to al jazeera detailing her desire for those responsible to be brought to justice in a first interview since u.s. ellis' were briefed by cia chief gina hospital a teach agenda's also said locating a fiance his body was a basic human rights i don't know if i want to expose the details of this horrific

crime i did to fire the perpetrators and put those who carried out on a fear trial including those who ordered the hit so they can receive the justice they deserve and on behalf of jamal's relatives and loved ones and i say this is one of them we need to know the whereabouts of his corpse this is a basic human right meanwhile the gulf cooperation council is meeting in riyadh with divisions between the six members increasingly exposed saudi arabia's king soundman open the talks in the capital but he did not address the ongoing blockade of cattle by three g.c.c. members behind the u.a.e. and saudi arabia but the emir of kuwait who's been part of mediation efforts called for an end to regional disputes. in all the headlines this hour the french president is set to address the nation on monday to try and bring to an end weeks of violent antigovernment protests ours has been in cleanup mode following large scale demonstrations on saturday by the so-called yellow vest movement or than seventeen hundred people were arrested throughout france and hundreds of businesses vandalized. or here in london they've been rival protests in support of and against

bracks its head of a key vote on the prime minister's the withdrawal deal on cheese day one of those rallies far right groups on the u.k. independence party denounce to resume a proposal which they say would leave person trapped in the e.u. early returns from all minas not parliamentary elections so acting prime minister nicola ahead with a commanding lead came to power in may this year off to weeks of peaceful protests against corruption he stepped down in october asking for a stronger mandate to govern. and this year's joint nobel peace prize winners have held a news conference in oslo ahead of monday's award ceremony congolese dr dennis mcguire and the as he activists nadim arrived with joey awarded the prize for their efforts in ending the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. well those are the top stories al jazeera investigates continues now focusing on far right groups in france.

al jazeera is undercover reporter louie has infiltrated the legal branch of generation identity in northern france. he witnessed a race attacked by g.i. activists over to the british police oh look i'm glad to be expresses a desire to kill indiscriminately that's a market popular with muslims. it was the. truth because i'm sure you do good to say look he's doing. wrong. with the us not. when not in the pen became leader of the national

front in twenty eleven he made a pledge to supporters. yes i mean citizen the no good at trying to deceive us some soon the new plan will develop. this is going to hurt the most cause and they follow some close adult. on this and not that they're not about to suffer the course that sure it will bring the songs in the big. book mining have been a diversion because when marine le pen became president of the national front. the first concern was to demonize the policy that's. by kicking out those whose racism i'm told semitism was shown in the media to see it for poor father she did this to break the national front selectric glass ceilings and to get more votes chris proves that if. dozens of members were accused of extremism and kicked out of the party i think looted her father who she'd replaced his leader for statements he'd

made about the holocaust. dealt from the pa. the filth from the ground john mackey the band no longer has a place in the national front. le pen's plan to d. demonize the national front appeared to be working. in the twenty seven thousand presidential election she polled more than seven million votes in the first round of it but it is something so something. saturday afternoon in lille city center. as louis spends more time with generation identity and its little boss already in vassal he discovers that the pens effort to purge the party of extremism might not be working oh. and the hostile go for a drink near the town square. there we asked him about his job. and his

acquittal thought it would be just we could and. that's. why it's important because we're just going to leave some of the want to listen to some of the will to do surgery or this is going to be useful is a guy who talks about obama to get you to come along but through a sort of limited they're going to come up with. a report as soon finds more evidence of connections between the national front on the extreme far right. of the citadel bar the headquarters of the flanges branch of generation i tend see he meets visitors from border. they say they provided security for national front leaders during the presidential election there in the course of their own city created it is that it would. be about it was with you that

it was something. because restitution as i don't know for sure what it says if you . marry him or a shell a hard liner and nice of marine le pen is addressing a national front election rally. give me some help that you have yourself into meeting so if you tell the truth or if you get it actually because it's just a place so you feel that you know. the activists from bodo those to they also provided protection for the national front leader that. you're that big she could walk in the way that said we missed you or that this machine will forget those serial numbers of eighty seven and also get all. the visitors soon reveal the real roll right wing vigilantes for hire. when he gets lucky all. his words

to get profits are going to say nice for the c.e.o. of it or not to do more to me if i go to the front of. the militia i would like to carry out generation identity style stunts such as a rooftop protest at a hotel for migrants. the house who is worried that his guests will damage the image of the far right. who so i took this shot so for me i think of the. first book we all. look so it's official it was at an awards recently suggested services based here actually has a school. bus up because obviously the easy to learn about it you know all over the city is a bit of yourself. unlike other far right movements generation identity is sensitive about its media image.

the hospital says he's. expelled numerous ultra right activists who are attracted to the citadel. of your heart but will be talking directly. to the spirits were struggling and you know. i got a book for just here but it was for you to make to see because here you are you don't know me so you really would like to see how he looks one piece oftentimes people somehow. you know if you there are some i think. this is the sort of person. that you know most of. the hassle later explains to louis the importance of winning and why he has to deal firmly with those who perform nazi salutes to believe it is going to push beyond you know what. he said it's a good thing too that we go over to the wrong side of the. good you know that

that's a great it's a great. seize generation identity but of traditional fascism. and we prove that you know if you really. push the issue here soledad if you google is not so good you will not exist which i don't suppose i mean you know i missed a lot you recently found situation where you think you can you. put your story first likes to clog up the p.c. up because he's a comic which it would be a little simpler could you just want to help what you want is a simple let me do. the feels generation identity differs from the traditional far right by the image they try to project what they realized was that marginalization that would never bring their ideas to power and never make their ideas spread so they try to have the cleanest image possible we little timidly the message remains the same for a massage let's remember. one evening. taking. just with his folks.

but i did lose hope that we'll see a bunch of their own security so i'm going to actually hear something of you for the first two of us you know if you wish for that to say if you saw the city in the us. there is constant fear that what goes on inside the citadel will be exposed. and it off the truck i'm sorry for to stop until a good feeling is out of yours if i forget about it you've got a problem with a good loser hooked up to you bill and i would do it if you had some sort of axe or experience with the fleas of france because of all suffering to the softer your through the constant praise of the good food after. louis meets a g.i. member who works as a political officer for the national front. for

support although they didn't. trust the social workers also looking for sympathy that all looks good so that's what the lawyers call it. remy miller around with alongside filipe amory. amory as head of the national front in a regional council in northern france. he's speaking to one of the most powerful figures in generation identity. louis first spotted pierre latif at the citadel. about the. make of the penny. i do says this could be a good reason but at their. launch

he tells all. on the cover reported that he lost his former job after his role in generation identity became known for having more should cause a kid that was all over the world because he was in love. you know they don't all go oh you're the aguado we also when they were longing to meet on the. last he spoke about his new job with the national front of the regional council offices in neal. and got. the call. what do you see i don't know we're all. here is. lot of cash given that. inside the citadel louis talks to a g.i.

activist about lottie's role of the national front. critical says there is a future period in the into getting the support of the north republicans all you want to solve pushing up by closer to what is occurring at all you could hear by. the before you do you just seem so starting want you to. evolve to the full if you should call the microphone. three of the good news you missed was one of the biggest hit on the ringleader of the shootings to me. there will be dish if they came in here with us or we're going to interview the three dollars a year. old you could partly because clearly you believe the you do you have proceeded into this election lenders are so good to see even.

believe a marine is a hard liner who appears to provide a link between general. identity and the party leadership already in vassal plays a key role in recruiting identity ariens who want to work for the national front. as louis discovers when he asked me if you could get a job with the party. are you going to say what you know. for sure jersey but i thought. it was really good you know. it's your choice. which didn't get the right film. well. as it were none of it is very surprising to see or really unfair hassel has so much influence with the national front force this is a political force which is integrating with the national front which will end up in the party's programs and the speeches of national front officials it is important because the identity ariens have succeeded in their strategy of entry.

after the first round of the presidential election the two most popular candidates competed for france's highest office. marine le pen against the country's rising political force former banker emmanuel mccraw. the pen performs poorly during an election debate. but it is also assume. that all was not on the run off comfortable. you know there was enormous despair and disappointment after the second round of the presidential election. after the debate between them in the pan in macron which led to her being internally contested. their strategy was put in doubt notably for

. phillipos strategy that i want to touch. the national front moderate vice president was the biggest casualty of the infighting. you know what the role of florian philippo was in the end to bring on board people who didn't come from the far right to vote for marine the pan which was a partial success he was the face of d.d. administration in the media why did florrie and philip only. because in the end he felt that this cleanup at the national front was impossible of. course one mind of the marion le pen insists she is with the party of extremists the next time the one is not it is your decision to tell your friend knows his own and was i made. a sale your nord sas i truly lost conversion said you will do pre this and

there in you know of want. of a single. one of the guy in the car pool one of the done such and such a thing but the thought says not that he committed. the hassle blame phillipos moderate law and full of pens defeat kurt warner center things with. your service what you don't. want in the community is one thing if you show up here on the phone the police talking to the police is obviously a good. thing the police. remy murad took a job with the national front to promote the policies of generation identity he found an open door. brokers or secret deal with. the struggle of biblical

truth i don't know efficiency often with. it will steer sort of the same to the period if you don't like the first this is people look it up but it's not for all the good you know you're going to make a little difference missed the boat so you all had to give your boss about maybe about all the fault it will be your intellect or jan you. want to know that when she lost the elections last year old a historic figures of the party who are fighting their tongues came galloping back and took the national front back you know they would sound to the fray with these identity arion positions in their baggage notably on the questions of immigration and as loud as. he wants to learn more about generation identity strategy to influence the policies of the national front. he makes a prominent activist from paris. for you this is a difficult for me that's what they're going to live with for all of this is what

he's going. to have been incredible just because i might. just be the best moment was. on the book with. you know something interesting to you as you. look. back to the lessons of some of the writing. not circular it was also i think i think that what. we're. going to see i think he's a man who was going to get many demands would do the research. in the main square dewey and the hustle are joined by another far right activist.

he tells them about an invitation he's received to meet a senior member of the national front and policy spokesman. did he. just sit there nothing fixed up to do or simply say it's too close up here to talk so. sebastian shannon is openly gay. hostile in the far right activist make homophobic remarks. from and also recently from the news that even a third of those you saw the photos. of the general conclusion to get rid of. the hassle confirms that he also had a meeting with chen. but it's always usually

difficult because we're going to continue because we don't have those who come she said it was frustrating because they sort of difficult to move into the open to pick up. since le pen's presidential election defeat china has emerged as one of the most powerful allies. share news paul to the national front group of the older friends council along wi fi a marie. le pen is also a member. louis is about to discover more unfair news links to generation identity. he visits the apartment of an activist he's met at the citadel from a wild matters that is unsure of the inside generation identity symbol so full of work. during the twenty seven thousand election campaign

much of that was filmed alongside already and the hassle. they were attending a national front ruddy neely's where the niece of the party leader marian maher a shell was speaking. initially vassal was not going to attend. to the base. or the order that. this is this is the form of. almost all. matters that claim the vassal only went after a personal invitation from a senior figure in lipans party. should you see if this is the role of the ball. but the hassle then run into another problem. if the if the

result of the others is. the hassle needed chinese help one small. or you know this is the for the first. is that it should. also although it's a misfortune with. vassal then went into the whole. matter is that tell. livy about the hassles but for the national front this is just sluggish and loyal to the foolish people staying with just. the forces as the mood on the fault is they all. are on the cover a reporter discovers that members of the national front all welcome visitors at the citadel they discussed what would happen if the national front were to form

a government. who might be your wish list but let's see if he took it out which could still be not only a strategy he had not only been in the game you are one of those pascal sua says they would need to be all. you know about and yes you need the anybody in the media the feel of it which were the job on the ship is that if you leave us you want to kill for the use of judgement of your because in the us the officials of the english don't think it's a long look as if. it's. me but we're not sure if. it's good i don't think you can look after the of the more. significant part of it but above all that stuff. is what they are going to change

said. she she understood. the national front members post often a ray of weapons. jacket or nothing it was a quick six one copy of stone soup if you're curious to see him extradited to. the shop it certainly was a lot of. those yellow you jemmett certain you know. he. conventicle. there is a breeding ground that makes it possible to mobilize french white people against islam and muslims more precisely by promoting the idea of an ethnic war the idea of a probable civil war between muslims and others. it is. different so often to fit the profile. you know.

of the you know. the rain the pen said that since she became president of the national front she's publicly kicked out all those who've been filing racist or anti semitic she said p.l.r. has never worked for the national front of the o. de france council. lappin added that already and vassal has never worked or written speeches for the national front. john duffy cata stated that his association lazy don't tell was distinct from generation identity and was not dependent on it. sebastian confirmed he told the hostel that the meeting with marian mar a shell was open to everyone he said that while the hassel did contact him to say he was not allowed in he did not go looking for him under the hassles subsequent application to join the national front had been refused. philippe marie said the

recruitment of party assistance at the older falls regional council is done within the law. he said the evidence presented by al-jazeera is an obvious interference by the cattery authorities in the run up to the european parliamentary elections in may twenty nine hundred. the hassles lawyers at the citadel does not represent generation identity and welcomed a wide range of members of diverse persuasions. she said vassell is not responsible for members who allege skirmishes took place which are either imaginary or which she strongly condemns the hassel said that being secretly filmed in a private space is detestable and that his discovery of this has irritated him. in episode two of generation hate vassal tells g.i. members use political violence when necessary be more civil if you want to go easy

with a bit of a dish for he looks like i'm some of the national front biggest names secretly turn up at the citadel. so it's not as if it is a service of the office and i didn't like the idea of the let it all be my little. baby this way this is a record. you look at me got. very business off. us all on the. who fled to protect his life but denied asylum

a congolese activist must return home facing an uncertain future he once again trying to him self at the forefront of a political revolution to try to for democracy can come at a heavy personal cost. back to kinshasa i witnessed documentary on al-jazeera. zero. hello i'm maryam namazie this is the news hour live from london coming up we need to know the whereabouts of his cool if this is a basic human right now jazeera exclusive the fiance of the murdered jonas jamal khashoggi demands to know where his body is and says the trial of those involved

her desire for those responsible to be brought to justice in her first interview since u.s. senators were briefed by the cia chief jane a hospital a teacher ginger has also said locating her fiance's body was a basic human right i don't know if i want to expose the details of this horrific crime i did defy the perpetrators and put those who carried it out on a fair trial including those who ordered the hit so they can receive the justice they deserve and on behalf of jamal's relatives and loved ones and i say this is one of them we need to know the whereabouts of his corpse this is a basic human right. to know why i kept feeling he was still alive no way i didn't expect such a horrendous crime to take place inside the consulate any decent human being would never imagine what happened inside and jamal didn't commit a crime he didn't do anything wrong he didn't hurt anyone he only walked inside the consulate so he could get his paperwork done so we could get legally married we

were trying to do the right thing and that's why we were there he wanted to build a new life as you know he was living abroad away from family he was in deep sorrow being away from his harm in all honesty i never expected ever in my life to be in this position i still can't understand what happened yes i am sitting here and i am talking to you about what happened but the human being is i have no words really or the saudi foreign minister has been speaking on the sidelines of the gulf cooperation council summits about the show which is monday he rejected turkey's demands to hand over the suspects. with regards with regards to their runs we will not hand any of our citizens to turkey even the turkish constitution prohibits the extradition of their own citizens so why should we turkey has not provided us with information that we need on the investigation the legal way. well g.c.c. meeting in riyadh exposed divisions between six members the emir of kuwait shakes.

address that head on using his speech to call for an end to disputes in hostility through media campaigns an obvious reference to the blockade of cattle by three g.c.c. members saudi arabia the u.a.e. and bahrain all have used their t.v. and newspaper outlets to criticize castle but kuwait is also in dispute with saudi arabia over revenues from a shared oil field and that of course is the key challenge the war in yemen catherine amman and not involved quite an behinds roles are limited to has made it difficult for the g.c.c. to present a united front saudi arabia is the largest country in the block and has traditionally been able to drive the agenda the divisions between member countries has impacted its position jumana shell has more from quae city. heads of states and leaders from the gulf cooperation council met at the altar for their annual summit a notable absence he was the emir of qatar doha instead opting to send the junior minister of qatar remains under

a land air and sea blockade imposed by fellow council members saudi arabia bahrain and the united arab emirates eighteen months ago it's a crisis that has brought into question the very existence of the g.c.c. nevertheless the saudi king said fail to even mention it during his opening remarks instead choosing to focus on iran and other issues. when his witnesses. that we all know we faced a resume and iranian policy we also need to stop these come from interfering into the affairs of our country this is the second summit to take place since the blockade on qatar began the last one was held in kuwait which is the leading mediation between the two sides on that's occasion shift. ended while the blockading nation's leaders refused to show up and despite failing to solve the g.c.c. crisis amir it seems has not given up i don't know if we have faced

a lot of challenges and on top of the middle of the differences between our g.c.c. nations we need not to risk the interests of our peoples the peoples of the g.c.c. council states the g.c.c. must not be hesitant we need to keep our situation firm. and we need to be able to face the challenges in our region. a core reason for the success of the g.c.c. has been in its provision of free movement of people and goods between member states with the embargo and the council's inability to resolve the crisis there are those that question the future of the organization i don't think we can say confidently that the g.c.c. is dead i think it's more realistic to say that the g.c.c. is dormant right now possibly down the. road when circumstances in the region change you have different leaders in these countries possibly the g.c.c. will return to being a relevant institution in the middle east although that's certainly not possible right now given the culture crisis for the average person in the g.c.c.

very little will change as a result of this summits the huge aspiration of them so every single currency nato style dolph defense force in the railway network connecting member states that were once on the agenda of meetings like these seem like distant memories now instead it would appear that simply being able to hold such a summit is seen by saudi arabia and others as an achievement in an over itself. who eats. well below middle east analyst for the golf masses publication joins me in the studio now thank you very much for coming in to speak to us so the scale of the security political economic challenges in the region today makes it clear that there is a need now possibly more than ever for countries to be able to coordinate to be able to work together and yet when you see how the summit has played out it's difficult to understand what the purpose of the g.c.c.

really is yeah i mean it's it may not be dead but i think it's definitely on life support you think about how how brief the actual meeting was it lasted less than a day there was one hour in a closed session. if you look at the queue at the amir is almost crying into the dark calling out for an end really to this this feud. the gulf cooperation council is for all practical purposes not functioning in any realistic way despite the fact that there are serious challenges facing all the gulf nations and obviously the biggest one is iran. and that and that issue of how do we as a council deal with iran that really was meant to rest and you speak about the that call from the. for an end to disposition hostility say he's crying out into the dark how would how would his comments have been received when they're all in the room listening to these words anyone is anyone listening to him well the key

players in the crown prince. the crown prince of saudi arabia i think that they are clear that they're in no mood to end this feud with qatar. qatar amir decided not to come so he was a no show how a player in qatar i think that there would like to see this feud end but they're not going to accede to any of the demands were placed on the table and in fact the bar any foreign minister to it was an insult really that that the emir hadn't come and and he should have come and accepted the fair demands you think well how could they accept those demands can the g.c.c. then survive in this condition. i don't think i don't think it really as i said it's on life support can it survive will it survive does it even matter if it does survive at this stage it's hard to see it performing any realistic. and useful function in spite of the dangers that the gulf is up against and one of the key

issues its image in recent months the matter of jamal khashoggi we see in washington the white house and congress at loggerheads. how to handle accountability. before the merger with president trump in the white house refusing to draw any conclusions about the direct role of the crown prince in the mud but will we see some effort on washington washington's part to leverage the khashoggi murder to bring about some sort of end to the war in yemen i think that's the hope but using his regime and trumps continued support for the former arkansas man that the senate and congress will push to to. at least begin to start the steps to end the war in yemen there are talks going on now in sweden are not particularly successful i think clearly america would have to take a significant role and they would have to ban the sale of weapons that have been used in the war for example they would have to call for an immediate cessation to

antigovernment protests the finance minister says the demonstrations have been catastrophic for the economy with an estimated loss of one and a half billion dollars and it's miss reports now from paris. that the only businesses that have seen profits go up because of the yellow vest protests along with more than seventy percent of french people the owner of this window fitting company is sympathetic to the protesters motives to citizenship their anger is legitimate it would be nice if mr michel could enable employers to give bonuses free of tax to their employees so that everyone is better off at the end of the month but i also understand the government's position saying besiege it's not easy to deal with the hours to find solutions could you get them all this restaurant in central parish stayed open on a saturday but takings were down ninety percent. would be really bad of the situation persisted and got worse however.
