that they are other avenues for raising the funds being explored this is what the white house press secretary had to say we're looking at every avenue available to us possible the president's asked every one of his cabinet secretaries to look for funding that can be used and to protect our borders and for that give the president the ability to fulfill his constitutional obligation to protect the american people the having a secure border but a shutdown still not a virtue democrats of turned down a compromise republican offer of a one point five billion dollar amount for border security not the wall but democratic leader nancy pelosi says this would amount to giving president trump a one billion dollars slush fund as she put it but neither side of the aisle once a shutdown just before christmas and most observers believe that there will be some kind of short term extension agreed on a u.s. federal judge has delayed sentencing for president trump's former national security

thought it was it would offer you wouldn't go through a bit of the job it was one of those who was the opposite of us i go up every man to just to reassure him and offers to join him on a night out that's about it whatever it is whether you like watching the bit about that or there are a lot of other with. the last army has a reputation for file and it's forty one members of the last comic were arrested when they were paid a pulled out in december twenty sixth eighteen among them well to easily you know i mute on the. already and facile they were charged in the quoted although the verdicts are under appeal. to go down we're going to scan each one to buckelew switch to serious stories to go over there. that's a missing illegals main square vassal tells louie about

a movie used against rival football fans. golf and nothing to them for what we saw as an opportunity to listen to this members of the world who feel it's such a little too close on the first line. of if you look at the moment just because if you look for a little such a vulnerable state when given such a hired gun. control have a constitution which the evil person could have or is really cool as well you know . they're traditionally jell-o. shots and. keep looking for a while because you might have felt over the thing that was on the corner eight o'clock there was something of such a complete surprise on here that all of this quote we can say also get. later at the citadel basle tells all on the cover of course at that last call me members are not welcome at his ball.

because it's a god of. t.v. . sets that resulted in sealing us yet. he tells louis that generation identity rejects the phylum far right. thing which is he said it was the height of the only idea lender out of those. awful you know you don't give a company that was going to decide my purse over just over a stupid which would you consider an awful awful you it was you know i was going to get her to thank going to. go to war despite the hassles claims inside the system till there is an overt racism. that was later on me just something else just as you know also. because you know there's a new you should. be good in for me is this how do you know yet because something

was going to move you must go to do something to committee to police the people the people believe it was going to be because he knew he has many anti semitic remarks that was dismissed. just want to. see. what's up we try to take photographs in the park for a second time. for that it was also because of all that the hustle is constantly trying to prevent outsiders knowing what goes on in the citadel i think your points are going to come up when he said he got so much more powerful than for you know she had that you should get all the book takes louise

photos if they were going to help those in the movie love as you know both of them said you know that's what the fair value treaty is it's the. the legal g.i.d. makes it clear that members have to play by his group's. twenty five hundred votes that was going to. change what you see me on arnold's own hang. on somebody's mother who goes. it's the night before a planned national protest by generation identity in paris. russell receives a message. if it's already broken by the minute you know. if i'm. just going to the blogs or the fact that i hope they can dig him up to a. left wing activists attack

a generation identity by. looks like it was let me get let me on and off beyond last week so it's really a series of like forget about the. following morning activists gather at the citadel before leaving for paris and. this was it was easy to shoot the full fifty. the old. generation identities demonstration has been banned by the french cool it's due to fears of file and it's. the police called who surround hundreds of g.i. activists from across europe. they include members of lille g.i. .

g.i. activists later stage a demonstration outside the box a clown theater eighty nine people was shot dead by islamist assailants join the twenty fifteen paris attacks. outside the ball damaged by left wing activists the national director of the identity and is with hostile until the g.i. leader has. plans to exact revenge for the attack that's been put on hold. because of the six kids i haven't seen since he thinks it's not me it's. clear he jail moni was in the bar at the time of the attack so it was also a contest to see something that is about something happening to someone who knows i mean something that. a week

after the ban demonstrations activists watch a video of the paris bar attack posted by on fascists chloe jo modi has travelled to legal. was. justice but. could. khilnani reveals that talks about a revenge attack have taken place with another far right groups and he's not asking for something simpler just to. tell them all is there any cell phone is a little. song for this course about. the group union defense is a neo fascist organization. that has

a long history of conducting violent attacks. the grouping in defense was formed after may sixty eight in france as a reaction to trotskyist another leftist movements. the group is radical in its ideas but above all radical in its violence the principle is that violence is a goal in itself it's in the static that's taught to young activists. members of generation identity all worried that the media will find out about their plan to work with the good. michigan. is due in part. because of the few. troops up in the middle east to want. to.

see. some of it was. you know. it's the weekend that leo hosts the national front congress. goes to a meeting on europe's future hosted by right wing publishing house generation identity has a stand the hassle is with the friends club of a duck. with. all left on them to deal with. al-jazeera obtained a video which showed fidel in the room when good members assaulted the former president enough that you end up. going off to fidel believes that the former

good leader edouard klein was too weak to run a far right organization for us to design us into pollard. exactly there's a lot. said dahlan to all those faces soul charges one hundred six i think this is interesting that if it was for the love of the live . in the way it was awarded the hassle joins vigil in mocking klein under the law and the limits on the laws of. the if you. regard the experience of. the mysteries of this is. really bizarre but we try to read something.

at the citadel lee meets a visitor from the capital. to be even though you. can't face the physical. you'll be all of us are going to call you call you a little bit of the for. the good was formally dissolved in twenty seventeen falling into. and all rouse activists continue to operate under its name alongside members of generation identity. to. record their vision of a country president clinton with one of. the good has been linked to a number of attacks on left wing students. to be sure to look good for the big issues or addition to the really from the one for the good deal with up to. the woman it all makes a lot far right activists have storm several universities and francis year some of

the attacks have been violent like the one in to paris school several activists came in to be from the good that arrived giving fascist salutes and shouting slogans all the food one of them was convicted in france last summer it's all false some. people say that's because our luis. he was given a year's suspended jail sentence for punching a female student who could push. for univision also said members of the good attend national front runner alongside g.i. activists say for you if you know you've been told it was. going to be. a part of. the love that also. every year the citadel hosts an event called qantas night. it's a medieval germanic tradition involving singing and drinking coffee during

a break claridge elmo only gives more details on generation identities partnership with the good. will not the number. of similar type who see. it as. i don't know it's all about superpowers here. but you know all that. the value that way if i was ill i'm not exactly sure you were sure it's the place of the something in the world because of that particular view do it live up to. the teaser. of. sleep. if. you. follow the descent of the sun lotion i'm. told it was.

important to remember the national front this is the citadel under posts about his street fighting skills still not use the goodwill of a bomb that was one of the top of the night and one of the pennies closest friends says immigrants will be expelled from france if he wins pot ok since. my son graduates won't. medieval western society was a feudal society. and. ended his speech some people stood. in and the entrance to the city was horrific they killed people in the streets in their houses and in. the crusades and

perspective. at this time. hello i'm down jordan in doha with a quick reminder the top stories here on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump is back down on his demand for five billion dollars for a border wall is trying to end the standoff with the federal spending and avoid a partial government shutdown at the end of the week and u.s. federal judge has delayed sentencing for president former national security adviser michael flynn the case as part of an investigation of possible collusion between trump's campaign and russia in the run up to the twenty sixteen election the delay is so flynn can complete his cooperation and special counsel robert muller russia.

turkey russia and iran have failed to agree on the makeup of a committee that would draft syria's new constitution and pave the way for elections foreign ministers are meeting in geneva they say they'll try to ensure the committee convenes early next year well the departing u.n. special envoy to syria says there's still much further to go before a credible and inclusive committee is established. these conflicts never ended with a wonderful peace order treaty and a conference and everybody embraced each other it is actually a process that may go on and on until all death and hopefully in the best way for the very people they are to constant in this conflict over a different lot for years one there's never been a constant moment of anything there being constant shifts of what they're being the military event and the facts on the ground and

a political book fission just look where we were four years ago and where we are today second constant. there have always been the syrian people suffering u.s. officials and representatives of the afghan taliban are meeting in the united arab emirates for three days of talks it's believed the discussions are aimed pushing for a six month cease fire and withdrawal of foreign troops in the future. the yemeni mother unable to travel to the u.s. to see her dying son because the president travel ban has received a waiver seamus is technically banned from entering the u.s. because of travel restrictions on mostly muslim countries. has been the appeal of the state department so she could see her son the two year old is currently on life support at a california hospital those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after out of their investigations that you can see what i thought.

al jazeera is on the cover of has infiltrated generation identity. it's one of europe's fastest growing far right movements in part one of the g.i. leading illegal and promotes street violence as a political tool if you like sickle the issue of the future of the. generation identity calls for really migration where no one european immigrants and their families all send back to their supposed country of origin a reporter was about to discover a plan by senior national front figures to secretly adopt these policies. that you know that's not that's then walked in your back i don't really want even to add up . oh god.

this year's national front congress is in lille. following the twenty seventeen election defeats this is marine le pen's first big opportunity to galvanize has supporters. senior party figures all gathering. among them filipe amory. says. amory was exposed in episode one this generation hate hiring g.i. activist to work for the national front. get it. and we reveal the links between sebastian shenouda and generation identity.

things that she was always denied. to give us just sort of sum games to the extent of what you call the good old the books if you pick up most of up the good you look at what did it is that exclude women a look at but it's equally donation of a cubic journal to that the book says that the city. but our investigation found evidence that she knew knows already in basle the g.i. leader in louisville. already knows this initiative was the first. case it's just. with the national front congress in town it's a big weekend at the citadel. delegate some senior policy figures are expected to stop by. there are gods outside and further checks inside following concerns that journalists may also try to enter. the law of the

eurozone you have a. lot of the in the. among the visitors is club of a doubt a former activist with a violent likely movement the good he's in legal for the national front congress to implement. louis wonders if he too could attend the congress. difficult for future contributors for a couple. of form of the open source. project. the far right activists such as vitale can access the national fund congress with east of the bush to. the surface of the little mousie on the. new mingles

with national front delegates trade all over the wishes of the people that is really good but it scalpels a good. it's. a shock to the legal system of the it will get into the fall they will put through mixes with the leading cause the figures including nicolas face a senior official and member of the european parliament. you could get more money. if you do make up we're going to reveal some of the you if a group of americans who live in the future much of. some of the. moment like. the citadel is attracting some influential figures. to leave g.i.

leader jokes that he doesn't recognize them well those were all. the benefits. given those kids the. crawshay is a good friend of marine le pen and joining him another cold feet all of the party leader frederick shetty don't. see on crawshay face fraud charges in connection with election campaign funds. for hostile greek shots you know a little too grotty there are zero zero zero. zero zero. zero zero zero zero victory over the bushes. the few see an annoyance to place that in twenty seventeen a french television documentary was broadcast about the financial scandal. chatty on crossed. all known in the french media as marine le pen's men in the

shadows. senior national front figures are accused of embezzling millions of euros of public money a fish a program focused on the alleged roles of crawshay and shut down the pre-draft. these f.a. additional small to combine civic to highlight the don't question his unique abu hussein. seems to at least to do see some to me to not some. new bin to be the documentary was based on a book by investigative journalists to stultify a murray in turkey. he could actually fit it should also make it a crushing and frederick shetty on really armory in the pants men in the shadows they are not in the official organizational structure they're not in the media yet they're the ones who pull the strings from behind they've been your friends for thirty years they control the parties communications and finances and work for the national front of the european parliament when astronaut are on the cover reporter

met crawshay the night before the national front congress. to call them on the fact. that what in the. world. to the effect of the. law was no. new issue since i think going to find it hard to do or. crawshay speaks about a trip to italy that he'd recently taken with a shuttle put into almost fell on which killed because it was a home but with. a ship so you're going to. cast the pound is the near fascist political movement in italy. it's staged a rally tomorrow a fortieth anniversary of the death of three far right activists. after

the rowdy left wing activist spots chatty on crawshay. well that's just. for the peace of the. debate ships at sea org website but she's a misuse of. people that even if. it's all. in the end the two men managed to escape. that's the front doors. but you see people suits the t.v. so you know that the civil suit that you have to cover to cover all their bodies what. you tell. me quickly for the nickel or crochet and frederick szechuan are toxic because they are already linked to financial scandals affecting the national front today but there is another much more ideological aspect to frederick shetty on he is the radical

who is close to re in the pan and he was president of the good degree that. was president of the extreme far right good movement as a student in the one nine hundred ninety s. he's been accused of anti semitism in the book she does not trust many people but she trusts her former chief of staff told me that le pen said that she can count on them for life and death so there is an enormous trust there. of a citadel of undercover reporter met more leading national front figures who align themselves with a generation identity. because there was a little bit you're also going to look only about her all her life but it's not just your belief in all of us coordinates of where we're sitting up to what they're going to kill bin get or if the individual will shut up so let's get the significance of a civil. most of it is just

a little disappointed he. was going to say well just a few of the footage a sea of the nose on the you would also want something to follow you want to focus on good luck to go to. college. nearby the party congress is on the way. to establish a value is a member of the european parliament for the national front. she's voted on to the policies national council i ask her about the number of muslims living in france. that their own thoughts is the name too little easter song is you know just a good idea. so at least if you know a lot of basics you don't and it will just as soon as you don't look at focal point it's all some folks you have an outcome what you want for them.

yet you don't get these killers for the so no see fall victim if they meet people are going to. know i know not to steal the city's next time do what i think you know best only it would be to be back up and up to. put your own stuff. evolves on one of the founders of the identity area movement is also elected to the policies national council. he has a conviction for inciting racial hatred. one of the guests is steve bannon president trump's former advisor and right wing ideologue let them call you racist leslie leslie was a pig let them call you son of folks a menace it is his appeasing of let them call your nativist lets see if it is up to . wear it as a badge of honor. but. to

me i mean our camera captures little value was gone from swat to drone and who worked for a local party in normandy. at the citadel a drone no intrusions list of value. a national map incident to his family it is little that you have not had it outside of. that if you thought he's going that route out right now was. already there. the only knew you. didn't know yet your pain was just really. not going to. be at the let me look.

let me say oh yes. what shocks me and what tells your journalist is that many of the national front leaders support generation identity's program and ideas. but what is also telling for me is to see a national front m.e.p. in an identity tarion bar surrounded by violent openly racist activists just. vassal dances with his national front guests. shot yawn crawshay also enjoying the evening. alongside grammy follies we filmed punching a woman in a race attack. louie us cross a why he's then. yes i definitely have not had my number let me have

a seven. as more prominent national front guests arrive at the citadel basle jokes about the risks they're taking. before you hear of the photo the body of the officer you want to. go to the. dillies wife sylvie golden is another m.e.p. louis also if a prominent party figure should be seen as a g.i. bar. she. really really hungry just so you. know sauce off something you know you can tell. you first yes yes. we see here ya go right down to something in the jar your guts

if that's what they are equal to the brain it was good of us all says will. be asking if we're here if you will those if we have. a good point where. i felt perhaps naively that they were no longer on that terrain. the fact of entering into positions of political responsibility could also change their personal line towards the identity ariens there obviously this was not the case for everyone and this is an unwelcome surprise for me. knowing that we're going to have one of. every threat seriously after i left home and yet another one of the underground i'm going to write a book. with her friend michelle looking on

marine le pen prepares to make an announcement about the national front future the pen wants to broaden the party's appeal. tricky through sudan of the second if you do c.v.s.'s you're. the pen believes many voters associate the policies name with extremism. so no one issue not. a book don't use draw it p.k. go you never serve it elect do gooder francais. men did to the inflow of crimes you could kill who was one. of those i don't go to monitor now and there viendo ha song. the pen hopes the name change will attract the moderate voters she needs to gain power. ben see what matters to marine le pen

is what you see in the media not what's happening in the party's back rooms when he said if they try to put a positive spin on ideas that french people view negatively they try to change the form and the way they communicate these ideas and not the ideas themselves but is the admin. at the citadel the pens former accountant legal across shape is reigning against the european parliament. talk to you through the talk to. get to. see what the jury has to know what you will see. behind closed doors senior policy figures expressed views the append wants to hide from the public and any thoughts of justice in the us this is of course the ballot that's what i was able to get to did. earlier. that's right it's but it's just one on us now that it's not needed.

don't for listening to what's worrying for those who might vote for the national front of the ideological consequences of having identity aryans within the party that is specially regarding the migration and the great replacement of the two main ideas of the identity. migration is the return of immigrants to their countries of origin of the great replace myth is the idea that french people are being replaced by immigrants these are extremely radical ideas incestuous saw is the extent. of it and that's the reforms in the. new economy got so very useless on. my song i thought it was only a. small feat which is what you mock shock he was. because it was a bunch of a lot on. the welsh i think there can be much to the point but we call of duty

three more and more you think. he can a shift in conflict. on a string. the fact that people from the national front can openly say that they support re migration must concern and worry people. because it means that your cousin your sister your girlfriend can one day for a reason unknown to us be sent back to a country which is allegedly their country of asylum. does. your position to you. because you thought your thoughts. about him and their right of course of action. not up to the standard that means that he. was one of the right. to go back to when they got was a problem. but all of the. oh it's the level of.

snake like this in the mail that folks like look. there are things here which we have never heard and never seen in france. we can really see that the national front is keeping links with violent far right satellite groups around the national front movement on us right now or even the pens the demonization is torn to shreds by these images and the links and the interviews of the people that we see in the film whether she's in. some communities or maggie going to. miss you two days you. don't dish this is one of them put that to them and. they have that's not a lot of sense but when you have spec really look a little really. well i've got you. have

a lot of. she's not coming we have a kid testimony from someone who says that we agree with the line promoted by the identity but we cannot express it we can take that and we will see afterwards i think that must serve as an alarm for everyone at. home. to daddy metallurgy quandaries i let you go then so what if you do. this in the fullness fernanda. if the national front comes to power notably with groups like these in your documentary we can be afraid the racist hate speech gets institutionalized that racist hatred and hatred of other people gets totally left out of this that there would be a. into coming over islands or even into ethnic violence which is what the identity

obviously want in this country. the pen said that since becoming party leader she'd suspended or expelled all members who'd been violent racist or anti semitic the pan disagreed with. statements saying the n.e.p. supported a line that members had rejected when they elected president. le pen said it was unreasonable to reproach federal. involvement with the as a student. of the pan already. has never been a member of aa movement and is banned from joining. a merry said party assistance at the regional council we recruited legally. sebastian she said that while the

hostel did contact him to say he was not allowed into a political meeting he did not go looking for him. already and the hassles lawyer said the citadel did not represent generation identity and welcomed the wide range of members of diverse persuasions. said that being secretly filmed in a private place is detestable countries discovery of this it irritated him the hassle did not respond to our request for an interview. so i went to see. me. to do what you. but. i mean this cutie. if he's going to.

six feet under and won't need a call from god will be able to. see who. will be picked if your shoes young all you are is would you eat it. long. since our investigation has been sentenced to five months in jail for assaulting two north african use he claims he is innocent and does lodged an appeal generation say he's no longer a member. eric dillies and sylvie gordon have left the national rally. after the first episode of generation hate the measure of leo called for the citadel to be closed down the public prosecutor has launched an inquiry.
