a line her to dot com for all the updates on the events in moscow. and over a hundred thousand people marched through paris only on sunday once again venting their anger at the policies of france's and battle president alone the style they accuse the government of what they called family phobia peed all over was in the french capital for us. paris saw the latest wave of discontent to sweep across france as we saw thousands upon thousands of people come out onto the streets to vent their anger at what they see as the erosion of traditional family values in the country is being particularly anger toward suggestions that friends could legalize homosexual marriage also that it could do those could be brought in that would see if they could see gay and lesbian couples conceive children to i.d.f. treatment they say that that's well isn't what the traditional family is about and that's why they've been coming out here for alarmed and his personal popularity well that is it an all time low and he's currently it seems the most unpopular

french president in recent memory and what that seeing is more were more people coming out onto the streets to vent their anger against all odds against the rules that he's trying to impose on them that they say infringes upon traditional family values here. and the one french activist to sell and happy was president alon that has gone on hunger strike so if it don't reach him it's been a day since i have been fast i only drink water because there are many people demanding the resignation of francois hollande who work because he's unworthy of representing france more and more countries including germany england and russia making fun of france we are many french people who think that own land is not legitimate to govern this country he's ruining france. the following calls for greater support by opposition leaders in ukraine brussels and washington are putting together

a significant short term assistance package despite concessions from president yet a mass rallies are still being held in kiev was people refusing to leave the streets unless he steps down a a form posit chief catherine ashton says the western aid is supposed to help the country through a transition period but the money will be dependent on a new ukrainian government approving political and economic reform added with investment also on the cards the energy giants have been eager to exploit the country's shale gas potential and that's got locals worried as poles leered now explains. western ukraine a beleaguered battleground for american oil giants two months ago kiev signed we met with chevron to use this area for fracking. climate will have altered toxic chemicals pumped into the earth contaminated environments just some of the risks that have sparked protests against fracking in the united states and europe yes ok.

now it's ukraine your comments not only goodbye no one lived through the cold sweat losin time our lakes and rivers will get dirty sporadic protests have fallen on deaf ears unable to match the might of the fuel lobby for america comes to ukraine we can lose our position and america will control ukrainian money and business need while countries like france switzerland and the netherlands a what we do know to the technology the ten billion dollar deal chiffon to operate in the country for fifty years it has the right to sell the gas it up tains with quotas to other countries so claims that ukraine will make a lot of money are in fact nonsense and in a place where i mean point is wife. kids' promise of thousands of new jobs is enough pay for people next ingenue forty four years old unemployed and trying to

care for his sick mother of all of the able to hopefully get a job people in ukraine are not scared of work we must just learn what to do the courage for kids is energy independence and cheap fuel for a country struggling to pay the bills even though russia dropped the cost of its gas by almost a third to calculate the shale spoils industry experts look at precedents in neighboring poland with companies promise the earth only two significant be scaled back which is what it's a risk exposure because after the five years of exposure a should probably just go what is really decided to stop. their activities because they are trying to. places where it will be that possibility to produce gas pressure on peers to keep these firms out is growing but not fast enough it seems to quell the government's desire to have its own gas whatever the cost or concerns of the people policy our team have live coverage of western ukraine. and reaching out to chevron and shell

ukrainian authorities say the firms will help the country achieve self-sufficiency and even enable its own and exports american environmentalists very strongly and says however financial gain will come at too great a cost for a granny and. the process it so is you cannot or millions of gallons of liquid laced with sand and with chemicals under super high pressures down into all these drilled holes without having a consequence this whole fracking. madness is spreading all over the planet they want to frack as many countries as possible and so more people are getting aware of it and i'm getting people here from little green europe north america africa to come here to see for themselves the science look they hear from the gas companies because the gas company will admit to no problems everything is hunky dory

everything is covered all the bases are covered we have nothing to worry about folks we know what we are doing. well the iraqi interior ministry says its car uncovered a laboratory equipped to produce chemical weapons including the highly toxic sarin gas they say the loud belonged to the islamic state of iraq and live on an extremist rebel fraction that's been highly active in the country and neighboring syria the groups currently occupying the iraqi city of fallujah now let's get to some analysis from his defense consultant and he's joining us live from the u.k. thank you so much mystery for joining us here on our to international well we know that this is an extremist group and it's been highly active in syria are particularly allowable what do you make of the or activities i mean is there any chance that these weapons could have been used there. yeah if

you recall last year there was a. find in iraq of chemical weapons which was not really widely reported and shortly after there was the organist's attacks in syria. the alleged chemical attacks. of which no bodies have been found or seen. these groups obviously have been crossing over from iraq into syria and let's recall. secretary of state of america john kerry's statement last week that they may be biological weapons that the syrian government may be using but i think. they're pointing the finger to syria the western governments that you just mansion because we know that it's the first on the lab has been reportedly discovered in iraq. exactly that's that's the point isn't it.

they must know something maybe they're biological weapons also found in iraq and again this is this is a false flag operation that they want to. blame the syrian government for and again we know that the americans are not honest brokers in the peace process at all. what we know is that the recent chemical attacks in syria is still under investigation but how could this discovery it shed a different light on them. well it's obvious there is the proof if you need it that these chemical and probably if they are any biological weapons are being brought in across the border and sponsored by the saudi arabian wahabi this and finance perhaps most probably i would say. there is obvious proof that the assad government has not carried out any crimes against its own people but it's

actually. sponsored terrorists that do this well you know speaking of these labs they have been reportedly found in iraq and elsewhere in their region hope could be behind these lapses organizing it all in your opinion it's saudi arabia there is no question about this group that are sponsored by some members of the monarchy the royal family they are sponsoring this because it's essential it's crucial for them to topple assad because allow him to say only in power because then they would do there would be some backlash in the future if they allowed him to stay on because they've already stated that they want to topple him and of course iran could be next so i definitely say saudi arabia this movement their. defense consultant line from birmingham in the u.k. thank you so much for your views here in our international. and stay with iraq the

country's army has stepped up its bombardment on the city of fallujah reportedly had a full on the ground offensive. that the city was seized by militants connected to al qaida in early january and has been under intense shelling for days the government's been holding off from sending in troops to give local tribesmen time to oust insurgents security in iraq has been getting worse with almost eight thousand people killed in sectarian violence last here. coming up later this hour here in catching out the cops i was being charged with assaulting a police officer obstructing them with this thing that could have been six months in prison and that would have completely revoked oblique changed my life are he speaks to a student about how a video that went viral helped him prove misconduct carried out against him by the police.

told me my language or what i will only react to situations i have read the reports but i'm like but it should be no i will leave that to the state department to comment on your latter point. to carry out a call it's all your job you know i. think you know more weasel words. when you made a direct question are you prepared for a change when you know you should be ready for a. pretty a speech and a little bit of the freedom to question. dramas the truth be ignored. stories others houston no. food since changing the world right now. to

picture a. former student. group. of the magna charta international and other spats seems to be brewing between the u.s. secretary of state and the israeli government it all started after john kerry expressed his concern over the lack of progress at peace negotiations with the palestinians mr kerry who has been holding back and forth stops with both sides have over the weekend that the status quo being maintained by israel is not sustainable he also warned that magic countries could seek to boycott television if peace negotiations fail the stronger it and angry response with prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying that any efforts to boycott israel would be unjustified and

counterproductive israel's strategic affairs minister that way then saying israel cannot be expected to negotiate with a gun to its head and the economy minister went a step further calling on israel's allies to stand up against those who tried to pursue anti-semitic janos against his country. well there's been a public backlash to with some two thousand israelis gathering outside a western wall in jerusalem last week for a prayer rally against u.s. efforts to broker an agreement the two sides resume peace talks last july a deadline has been set for april was israeli settlements in the west bank and is jerusalem remaining the key sticking point. because now at some other stories from around the world series of explosions at a cinema in pakistan africa least five people eyewitnesses say a man sitting in the bathroom hurled several grenades into the audience around

thirty people were injured some critically during the incident in peshawar. and more clashes have broken out between police and use at a protest in the canyon city of mumbai that's after security forces stormed a mosque on sunday resulting in a violent confrontation that left at least two people dead the raid was ordered after worshipers raise the flag of the band extremist group al-shabaab use armed with knives are said to have attacked the officers who responded with gunfire and over one hundred arrests were made. now the united states will continue to enforce the sanctions currently in place against iran secretary of state john kerry made that clear at a closed door meeting with his reigning counterpart in munich however kerry's predecessor hillary clinton has called on congress jewry france for any new trade restrictions saying it's time to give diplomacy a chance iran and six world powers are due for more talks in mid february aimed at

resolving the decade long standoff over to iran's nuclear program in november the sides reached an interim deal under which some sanctions were lifted in exchange for to iran limiting its uranium enrichment a former advisor to iran's ago she asian teams as kerry's rhetoric is not helping the push towards a peaceful compromise. mr kerry's pressure tactics which is part of these two prong coercive diplomacy the other prying being rising military threats and this very dangerous. threat that we saw in president obama's state of the union address is really come to put duct here and it poisons the environment for the coming talks they brought iran to the table by pressure and they need to escalate that pressure in order to gain maximum concessions and secretary kerry has been referring to dismantling aspects of the renia nuclear program which is contrary to the content of the geneva agreement and flatly rejected by degree and foreign minister.

when you go up against the british police force it's your word against theirs our team at one student who learned the hard way how important hard evidence is when that happens that's our silly story. i was being charged with assaulting a police officer obstruction arrest and six months in prison and that would have completely irrevocably changed my life and devastated. i couldn't make a more had intended to attend a talk by the education minister in june two thousand and eleven and found himself in a crowd of protesting students and just outside this university who was later arrested and the police officer said that a shop had pushed him twice before running away. i'm not really but this video appeared on you tube where a shock is later seen and it offers a different version of events. thanks

to this video the charges were dropped scotland yard agreed to pay a shocked twenty thousand pounds in damages after he launched legal action for wrongful arrest as a result of video evidence produced as part of a civil claim against the metropolitan police service three offices are the subjects of the i.p.c.c. supervised investigation but such outcomes may not always be so easy to come by it's very often the case. people have been wrongly accused by police officers often committing the fence but the evidence of the off court has given more credence to notch off the accused individual they just have to well to try and give its best the current as they can to gather as much evidence as they possibly can and once again the conduct of the police is put firmly under the spotlight in the twenty eleven two thousand and twelve period at the independent police complaints commission saw a decrease of complaints but an increase in appeals made about the handling of

complaints by police compared to the year before where it's found that offices are full of the below the expected. behavior the public would want to see accountability. police misconduct is a sort of like specific to be individual. for someone who's been on the receiving end of this misconduct the shock says there's something he'll now keep in mind we need to videotape the police whenever we can because if it's their word against ours the only way we're going to win is if we actually prove to them to a court without a shadow over doubt that they were lying. to us or sylvia r.t.e. london. or you may be used to hearing how the line is about drones carrying out air strikes but as we're reporting the website the world error could soon be gone as the u.s. military puts its unmanned the war machines on the ground. also online and nasa

the first recreational marijuana shops are now open in colorado finally the question of what effect legal marijuana will have on the american public can be answered with real world experience you know there are a lot of people out there with strong arguments as to why we should legalize this controversial play it firstly there are plenty of things just as bad for us as marijuana or worse like beer cigarettes anti-depressants and mystery fast food meats which are totally legal secondly young men are often thrown in jail for the absolutely victimless crime of smoking marijuana i can see punishing someone for drugs like crystal meth which can and do turn people into maniacs but have any of you out there ever heard of someone breaking into people's houses on a weed rampage no no you haven't the downside to all this is that across america and while the world people are looking for change and they want the massive storm

rise but when the masses are stoned out of their minds it makes things in life that we shouldn't tolerate become very tolerable we now call allow us to make it through another day of our miserable lives so that we can live without going through all that effort of trying to make things better or challenge the system legalizing weed will just pacify the masses even more but that's just my opinion. pushes the perpetrator is a road that is driven by the hatred. if the government. is a religious fanatics. kind of society protect itself against the encounter killable

how should it react to attacks with retaliation. or like the citizens of norway and spain who opted for freedom and openness. london two thousand and five. on july the seventh four bombs exploded three in underground trains one in a double decker bus the result fifty six deaths and seven hundred injuries the attack is not from the outside nor from the end. the four young assassins of muslims three of them born in the u.k. . a traumatic experience for the metropolis in the blink of an eye the entire city fell out of step it's about her ability visible tool.

these things live on in the collective memory they become sources of mourning and more and they have formal memorials and solemn but this is nothing actually new you know london has a two thousand year history of disasters of play of wall of strife so there is a pragmatic culture to this city as with many other cities that you know you grief you move on you go through trauma and shock and then life goes on and what is the alternative to have one just stay at home. and bunker themselves off from the future of the world and their life and the city it's not an option. the police quickly identify the perpetrators and their accomplices naturally with the help of surveillance cameras. in a second series of attacks fourteen days later an innocent man was shot george

sheldon s.s. he had dark skin and was reportedly wearing a thick jacket with wires hanging from it as he fled. but the video shows he did not flee. the cameras could prevent neither the bomb attacks nor the death of an innocent man. the bombs of two thousand and five and more than twenty years of ira threats have led to an all pervasive architecture of security diverse obstructions guard against trucks laden with explosives. reinforced concrete barriers. while working on their project ring of steel and reactor williams and george also

discovered open spaces transforming and another different way this would be the public street by the public roads that is now being sold to a developer and it's become privatized space so the actual landscape begins to completely change and what you have in these spaces is they're put piece by private security guards and although you have the right to walk down it they can actually choose to exclude you so you have these like strange places that begin to to the compost of the city the. welcoming to most people no spaces to linger and the whole idea is just for you know people to walk through to get somewhere and it becomes about being a consumer or anyone that's outside of us gets kind of brushed ours you know present a walk and you're presented with sort of charming flowers which i change every few weeks on the big sign saying all the things that you must on the no circumstances do.
