you know outside the stadium louis is with g.i. activists for the call and the last call me. the last only includes members of the extreme far right. as the law say funds are rife pretty pool heads to the front of the crowd. that. the bottle is strode. over tons of the scoff he's stolen from a ma say find. something for the. next. generation identity has already been tarnished by its links to the lost on me. the mail you the look your heart on nicholas good you know will was let.

go it's a way to go but i do what's different here. caught up in it with. the last colony then but who used to attend the citadel is you know i mute the films in after a court appearance. since. the muse is awaiting trial for his alleged role in a man's day the body was found in a little river commute was also a member of the now disbanded neo nazi group even a little more yeah go ahead.

colby corey would you go pick more crew chief because you just saw. says she gets to put. in episode one of generation hate remy follies takes part in a race attack. for felice the activities of the last call me go beyond football hooliganism. but this. was actually. really key. it struck which it was. following me to rest pictures emerged of him with a citadel regular. on

match days tell he so joins the last call me a pub close to the stadium. went to easily met louis at the citadel he said violence helps g.i. members to bond but. today he's suspicious of louis. it was the last question. which was totally cool with israel because the two one would often he wouldn't go out of the job it was one of those who was the opposite of israel i'll bet very manages to reassure him and offered to join him on a night out with us over the whatever it is whether you like working with the billionaire with it or the like it's the other with. the last army has a reputation for filing its forty one members of the last comic were arrested when neil faded pulled out in december twenty sixth dean among them well to easily you know i mute on the. already and the hassle they were charged in the course had all

of the verdicts are under appeal. to go down but going to scummy trying to block innocents to spirit people to history step forward yeah. it's amazing illegals main square vassal tells louie about a movie used against rival football fans. but one thing i think when we saw a conference call it was a solution to the all over the it's such a little too close on the first line but i think if you think it was just a couple could you look for a little sense of what they can keep on such a classic. and will have a go until she comes all the evil person could have one is really cool without anything other than a traditional church and also. keep in touch with the well because you're making a film they're all going to take the oath of office look at a clip but it was something of such a ridiculous question as you know but only as we can say also.

later at the citadel basle tells on the cover of course at that last call me members are not welcome at his ball. because it's a goal of. it's. a sad sad result he's here just yet. he tells louis that generation identity rejects the phylum far right. which is he said it was the height of the only idea lender out of those. awfully i don't even look i'm going to say my first so it was just all right stupid which would you consider an awful awful you get. out. you know i was

good for her to thank you good to. go on despite the hassles claims inside the system there is an overt racism. that was later on me just something about this notion that most of. you know there's a new there's a. very good in her i mean this is how you know you have a mix of flaws in the movie the muffled beauties of the committee to the beauty of the people who believe exhibit but because it's louis he has many anti semitic remarks because this is. what you. see i see. that's louis tries to take

photographs in the park for a second time. the model of a few that are so so if you're so wrong 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 to get rid of the book takes louise photos if you think that we're going to help those in the movie love as you know the problem is that you know that's what the cable you were previously is the. legal g.i.d. that makes it clear that members have to play by his rooms. twenty five hundred bucks a day was going to take a short change not just any part of the ball game. it's not on somebody's mind hundreds of. it's the night before a planned national protest by generation i den. in paris. received

the message. if it's already documented you know. this is an. extreme look at the fact that the whole pick up to date good luck to. the. left wing activists attack a generation identity ball. looks like it let me get let me on a little beyond all. of the stories that work for you about something the. following morning g.i. activists gather at the citadel before leaving for paris and. this is it since it is easy to shoot the fifth.

generation identities demonstration has been banned by the french cool it's due to fears of file and it's. a police cordon surrounds hundreds of g.i. activists from across europe. they include members of lille g.i. . g.i. activist 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 i don't care ian's is with the hospital and all the g.i. leaders. plans to exact revenge for the attack that's been put on hold.

because i mean if he talks about six to seven hundred sixty six is not enough. clary gel moni was in the bar at the time of the attack so it's a little silly to test for something that is not even something that works in the noodle yannick something. a week after the ban demonstration activists watch a video of the paris bar attack posted by on to fascists. the trouble to legal. was. to. kill mony reveals that talks about a revenge attack have taken place with another far right groups on the subject to something simple most just.

tell them all is there any stuff from a sick little. song for. 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 stuck with the group is radical in its ideas but above all radical in its violence that's the principle is that violence is a goal in itself it's in the static that's talk to young activists. members of generation i can see all worried that the media will find out about the plan to work with the good. dog.

not one us mission. it's to all pull. people together with these if you can do this for the fortress of if you want. to. see. some of the it it was. you know you think it was you know. it's the weekend that leo host the national front congress. lou goes to a meeting on europe's future posted by a right wing publishing house generation identity has a stand a hassle list with a friend club of a duck. left

on into jail while. al-jazeera obtained a video which showed fidel in the room when good members assaulted the former president enough that you end up with. only one but after fidel believed that the former good leader edouard klein was too weak to run a far right organization for us to design us into politics. exactly there's a lot. said dahlan to all those faces soul charges i think so i think this is this was it if it was for the love of the living. just the way it was awarded the hassle joins vigil in mocking klein to the limits for. those of us. if you.

regard the experience of. the people. we visited we thought of it. at the citadel lee meets a visitor from the capital. to do that even though you. know you all there all of us are going to call you a little out of the for. the good was formally dissolved in twenty seventeen following internal rouse as activists continue to operate under its name alongside members of generation identity. recorded if and when the

every year the citadel hosts an event called qantas night. it's a medieval germany tradition involving singing and drinking. during a break let me tell nobody gives more details on generation partnership with the good. will not the exam that made me. start because i am good at acknowledging the possibility of cyprus even though you want to but. i got upset about some of those are. going to take them back for a moment but you know let. me read to you that way if i still might not because i'll be sure you were sure it's the place of the something. that got each of you jewish lives. easier to.

basically two seats it's immediate so you know the city. that it took them to come on they always like. to 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 undercover reporter met more leading national front figures who align themselves with a generation identity. you know that means it's all she wanted because there was a little bit you know the whole subject of only about her all religion is going to kill your family all of those coordinates of where we're sitting up to a poly they're going to kill bin good or if the individual will enjoy life so it's not that so much of it was a little bit of a silly. not in the numbers of just a little disappointed he. was going to say well just a few of the british are still the know the body to you but also want something to follow. up on good luck to go to. college. nearby the party congress is on the way. she still has a value is a member of the european parliament for the national front. she's voted on to the

policies national council i asked her about the number of muslims living in france . and. that their own thoughts is the name too little easter song is you know just good but yes good to meet you also at least if you are lucky if it's you don't it will be just as long as you don't look at focal point it's all substance you have on the outcome what you want for you. if you don't keep these killers for the center of the leon to see fall. if they meet. no no no the speed of the cities makes them do what i think you know best going to. be. after you just do not put the clothes you don't stop. the volga 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 former advisor and right wing ideologue let them call you racist list it was a let them call you son of folks the menace it is it was appeasing of let them call your native us let's see if it is up to. wear it as a badge of honor. but. yes you know me i mean our camera captures little value was gone from swap the drone who worked for a local party in normandy. at the citadel a drone no introduces a list of value to louis. and

has never happened so what about his dinner and is it that you have not had it outside of. that if not he's going to have no doubt that will not was. already there. the only new you. know. that's 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 will not get my number let them help me save them . as more prominent national front guests arrive at the citadel basle jokes about the risks they're taking. before you hear of the film 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. really it's really hungry thirsty are you. going to you know you can tell. you first yes you should. see here ya go right down to something in the jar your guts if that's what i want to frame it was good of us was all right we're in appears to live here if you will because if we're. good at it well. there's a video i felt perhaps naively that they were no longer on that terrain. the fact of entering into positions of political responsibility that 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 rattle off. every threat seriously after i left home and you know that another one of the our drummer 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 panel wants to broaden the party's appeal. through dawn of the second if you do see these as you're. the penn believes many voters associate the party's name with extremism. so no one issue not. a book out in the straw it p.k. going. to serve it. who could have. mended to the influx

of crimes you could call who was one. of those i don't call of. their viendo ha song. the penn 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 and 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 enemy. of the citadel the pen's former accountant legal across a is raining against the european parliament. you treat my talk to.

look to. see what the jury has created or what you will see. behind closed doors senior policy figures expressed views that the pen wants to hide from the public and any thoughts of justice in the us this is a question about it that's not what i was able to get you did. earlier. stratus but it's not a slam on us now that it's not needed. you 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 the especially regarding the migration and the great replacement the two main ideas of the identity area and such migration is the return of immigrants to their countries of origin of the great replace made is the idea that french people are being replaced by immigrants these are extremely radical ideas incestuous saw this

they exclaim oh. right there is a reform you know. look at me got some very good sense of. my song that's not the only. song shake we want you more shot here. because it's a bunch of i'm on. the ocean and. most of all what we call peeking over the top of. the cache fifteen hopefully. on the street. 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 come one day for a reason unknown to us be sent back to a country which is allegedly their country of asylum. does.

your petition for you. because you love all your thoughts. but even their right of course of action. not up to the standard that means that you should want to grab. their god likely when they got was a problem with your lesson. that all of the. well that's the level of. the fox maybe this is. 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 for us from that arena 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 dude is you. don't dish this is one of them put that too often that you. have let's not let's spend. with your spec really was a little really. well i've got you. there you're. going to. she's not coming we have a can 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

get it done in metallurgy quandaries i let you go then so what if you do. this you know for mr nanda. if the national front comes to power notably with groups like these in your documentary we can be afraid that 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. marrying the pen said that since becoming party leader she'd suspended or expelled all members who'd been violent racist or anti semitic the pen 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 that already. has never been a member of aa movement and is banned from joining. amory 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 in the hassles lloyd 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 him. money. but. there's a very. big moment. but almost with policy it says that media is on the t.v. . if you're going to lose it then you don't want the future and while we made a call from going to what would you like to. see who outed a lot of us all we're going to give us who visited your shoes when you're young all you are home is that you eat it so well it's all. since our investigation the hassle 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 identity 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.

we have a news gathering team here that is second to none and they're all over the world and they do a fantastic job when information is coming in very quickly all at once you've got to be able to react to all of the changes and al-jazeera we adapt to that. my job is is to break it all down and we held the view on the stand and make sense of it. when i entered the spittal fold modified car six hundred first power i feel the happiest. of. the women tearing up the truck in the west bend. to challenge stereotypes. living life in the fast lane and it's like the forever part of the race without big on. speed sisters on the.

al-jazeera. with every. zero. hello i'm. with the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes it is unacceptable that we continue to uncover cyber crimes committed by china

against america and other nations the u.s. charges two hackers linked to the chinese government with targeting at least twelve countries. president drum told paedos a deal to avoid a government shutdown after he's denied money phase border wall. during. a dead as protests over rising prices in sudan spread to hard to him and other cities. and drug caused chaos at britain's second busiest airport grounding flights for twenty four hours with no end in sight. and i'm we are hearty i'll be here with all the sport manchester united enter and boss ole gunnar sol shire says he'll be giving the club's misfiring stars a clean slate in his first interview since taking charge.

welcome to the program our top story at a time of escalating tensions between the united states and china a new front has opened in the war between the two leading economies cyber hacking and economic espionage the us has just charged two chinese hackers for attempting to steal trade secrets and technologies and for compromising the computers of western countries as you. go are allegedly part of a hacking group known as advanced persistent threat ten which is linked to china's main intelligence service yes government agencies including the navy and nasa have been compromised as well as american companies involved in aviation space and satellite. at least twelve countries were targeted including brazil canada india japan sweden and the u.k. as well of course the united states so let's speak to patty call hane who is following the story for us from washington and patty was speaking there about challenges of spin of stealing trade secrets tell

us more about what happened in washington today well we got word late the press conference is going to happen at the justice department and you usually know it's a fairly big deal when you see who's going to be on the panel it was a deputy attorney general the f.b.i. director the chief prosecutor from new york and they did unseal these indictments keep in mind they've been working on this case for a while the indictments have been filed they've been under seal but today they unveiled it they used some pretty tough language. at the justice department sweeping allegations against two chinese nationals accused of widespread hacking the victims included companies in banking and finance telecommunications and computer consumer electronics medical equipment packaging manufacturing consulting healthcare biotechnology automotive oil and gas exploration and mining the government says the hackers were able to get into the computers of nasa the energy

department and the navy stealing the personal information of one hundred thousand sailors they wouldn't name the companies that were targeted but did say many of the attacks were aimed at managed service providers you've all heard about situations where you see somebody essentially the cyber equivalent of breaking into a house this is more like breaking into and getting the keys from the maintenance supervisor who has keys to hundreds and hundreds of apartments and all the residents in those apartments according to the indictment the to work for the chinese government and are believed to still be in china meaning they are unlikely to actually be arrested but this comes at a time of increased tensions between the u.s. and china after the arrest of a chinese tech executive at the request of the u.s. on charges of violating sanctions and the clock ticking on a ninety day window hope that ending the trade war leading to another bad day on the stock market as the u.s. injects even more tension to the over the front u.s.

china relationship. and so passing the united states isn't the only country that's been targeted we were hearing earlier about at least a dozen countries also being targeted by these packages that have been linked to the chinese government is there any prospect for joint us some sort of coordinated action the u.s. might take with other countries to put pressure on china. well the justice department made clear on background that they expected all of the countries that have been targeted to come out and condemn china but again this doesn't have a huge impact obviously could those two chinese nationals if they ever go to a country that the u.s. has extradition with which seems unlikely but the bigger question is what's the actual impact so that the possibility of sanctions of course that's always out there it seems unlikely considering the presidents of the united states and china agreed to this ninety day window where they would try to negotiate an end to the trade war that is dramatically impacting both countries' economies so unlikely to

take that in the ninety day window but you never know after anything's possible thank you very much patty called with the story from washington. well it's been a busy day u.s. president donald trump has told the republican party leaders he will not sign a bill to fund the government because it does not include money for his propose border war with mexico a temporary funding bill must be signed by midnight on friday to avoid a government shutdown trying to include five billion dollars for the wall but a budget for border security and fencing is one point three billion a government shutdown would see more than eight hundred thousand federal workers forced to take time off or to work without pay is that a very unfair that it is right now the president or mr signed the executive in the senate last year because of the peace with you to make the border so we're going to do is going to have to remember what you've got to work with but we also want to

prevent to protect the border. in jordan joins us live now from washington and roselyn can a government shutdown or a partial shutdown still be avoided. well it's going to be much more difficult because if the house leadership actually does what they say they're going to do which is try to add some sort of provision from some sort of border security spending into their version of a short term spending bill. that's going to be different from what the senate has already passed and a lot of senators have already left washington for the upcoming holiday break and so they need twenty four hours to be told to come back and be ready to vote they've already left and so it's going to be very difficult for them to watch try to get enough people back here in washington in order to vote on a different version of the bill which they passed on wednesday so it looks as if

the u.s. government is indeed heading for a partial government shutdown now if somehow enough senators were able to make it back before in the next thirty two hours to try to vote on a version that would match the upcoming house version of the bill then this could all be avoided but it's looking very difficult mario and rosen in the white house particularly the press secretary sarah huckabee sound as was speaking earlier century blaming the democrats for this impasse is that an accurate reflection of what's happening that. well until january third republicans control both the house and the senate and so if the senate leadership which is republican in both chambers can't muster the votes in order to come up with legislation that they know that the president will sign well then it really you know some would argue it's really should be laid at their feet

but when the republicans in the senate took this vote on wednesday they did so thinking that the measure that was being voted on would be signed by the u.s. president so did they perhaps a little too quickly that the. what happened perhaps they did a leave it for the suggest but there is a truism here in washington that when you have this kind of budget deadline it seems that it literally comes down to the last two hours or so before the deadline extra is reached before they can actually come up with the deal so perhaps there might have been a little too much optimism coming from slater's about getting a temporary spending bill a bill that could have kept the government open through early february again. thirty two hours or so they could pull it out we'll have to see you know thank you very much in washington the escalating u.s.

and president trump not yielding fruit there was another drop when there was disagreement between president trump and democratic leaders over the looming shutdown so we're seeing a very unsettled market right now and then the other issue is interest rates going up in other moves that the federal reserve the central bank here in the united states are taking to sort of win the markets off of supports that were put in place after the recession on wednesday the fed chairman jerome powell raised interest rates a quarter point and signaled that the fed would slow down its rate of raising rates into two thousand and nineteen. but even that was a concern for investors who are really worried about a softening khana me globally and what impact that could have investors are also watching the bond market right now and stocks are uncertain and people tend to power money into the bonds but the ten year you.
