we've seen thousands of people supporting they referendum mostly young people bringing flags of consul lani and also shouting slogans so as you can see as they date the referendum drollness and needier the splits within the castle and society is getting more and more avid and with people from old strike self society taking their views to the streets. thank you yeah yeah yeah. i think i. think you. could. well polling stations are defended by so.

ministry and they will stay in barcelona until october third earlier on saturday morning a convoy of police vans left the port area heading into the city while the spokesperson for catalonia police force as the wild orders will be followed doesn't necessarily mean anything will be prevented. in the bottom of interest of the one the main rules of police just to guarantee the internal security of our society in this respect and police do not support those either for or against the referendum or are the all catalans we have no choice but to a baby the decisions of the court and prosecutor's office when it's about control over crowds and public order we have to see what happens in each individual case if we can't prevent something it doesn't mean we don't follow orders but the probably we can't do anything about it i mean. the g. seven summit in the italian city of turin has received

french president emanuel micro-loan has been hit by a fresh wave of criticism that's after cutting taxes for the wealthy and he's responded by saying that his latest tax reform is aimed at encouraging investment of promoting talent in the country but many people in paris they don't agree warning that the new leader is already becoming a president for the rich and that the reform will only worsen inequality in france on the show that david ski has more proud you know when you're not just rich but your filthy rage. he ought fast cars and resources and definitely signs the eve more than a pretty penny to spend right. well not so much in france where the tories of the rich and famous no longer eligible for tax and that's causing quite a stir if you think this is. i think this is unfair but justice no longer exists in france there isn't a justice system anymore this is the hunger for power of

a prince who wants to rule our country how he wants sound government is only for the rich and he doesn't care about the poor we don't have a middle class there are only poor people who work for the rich yes i am outraged and we the young people should protest against this much switching how france. taxes wealth is government claims that it wants to you have the extremely wealthy including tens of thousands of millionaires who fled the country because of the country's old tax system and even though only a tiny fraction of french people pay the old tax money going to own m.p.'s admit they're going to face a hard time explaining this. how could i explain this to six year olds who own an old apartment that they will be taxed more than young trader's driving a ferrari so cool that the taxes raised under the old system of cancelled out by

the money that rolls lost by people trying to avoid it but many people particularly pension is say they'll be harder hit under the new system and they do you realize they claim that much of course government is only for the rich and the super rich charlotte didn't skate ot see paris. micron's economic reforms or spark numerous protests across france demonstrations have seen retired workers on the streets angry with taxes on pensions while student protesters dubbed the anti youth inspired clashes with police the french left wing party member told those that if nothing changes in policy his popularity will sink further. attracting rich people to invest in france is always a similar government but mr mccrone forgot that france is one of the. best countries already the best country for. foreign investment based on my form was

elected with with the media to cool the west presented by many medias like a new president young it would change things and it was a light because what he's proposing is this same old politics that this is only been the first beneficiary for the rich are seeing the impact will be that less and less people. believe me and that these popularity will go down and russia's antiterrorism campaign in syria a's exactly two years old today after the break we'll take a look at what if anything has been achieved. there are some nazis in the fifty it's not the mass of the a fifty voters but you know to say that our culture of atonement. oh

remembrance of nuns nazi crimes is wrong that's too much it's the attitude of some people in the. fifty's which by the way is no in the process of tearing in sales are. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go on to be press disliked them before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the water. well. syrian militants have suffered the most serious losses in the last few months

followed by a diplomatic dispute with washington the campaigns also seen significant a rapid victories on the ground. conveyor . or earth. ok check out this map now which shows just how much territory arsenal has lost in serious in the act campaign began most of the terror groups strongholds have full and to president assad's army and according to the russian defense ministry eighty seven percent of syria is now free of islamic state auntie correspondence well they've been covering the russian campaign right from the very beginning.

this is the ad based in love hockey from which russian jets launching this against islam ix they tug it's here in syria. whether it's. time the pilots are ready to go it's a moment's notice. it's quite incredible to be standing here in the pulse of the desert and since fifty of . people around the world feed would be reduced to dust in this amphitheater laid

down by the romans almost two thousand years ago that isis staged one of its sickest massacres the russian military considers that the crowding jewel of the operation here in syria. won't come to the government side of aleppo these sees what you see on your way here where just a few hundred meters away from the frontlines. we're in the palace. and the rebels are pushing into aleppo. again. rescuers are now digging through the

rubble looking for the body of a thirteen year old girl. and i would. you. were as a syrian artillery position overlooking the industrial quarter of there is order the battle is said to be fierce isis fired back as we filmed shells began falling all around. we ran but the syrian batteries kept firing. live in did as

order is still far from normal but at least they will be starving to death and the more. right. we'd kill a giant monsanto's been kicked out of the european parliament this lobbyist were bound to have to refusing to attend the hearing and this was about where the secret studies into the safety of monsanto products were flawed or exaggerated for commercial ends well mike is also slow on the secrecy surrounding the studies how can we be sure of developed conclusions about the safety or otherwise of life plus eight when there is lack of transparency when it is publicly revealed by the latest us court case says that the scientific data provided by the company experts was forced to fight the glyphosate the m.e.p. just mentioned there is used by months. and some of it's weed killers so that it

can cause serious eye damage and is toxic to animals and people will hopeful denies the claims it can also cause cancer we're going to consumers association says the monsanto is happy to sweep all that under the carpet if it means bigger profits stakes for monsanto are extremely high they have an eight billion dollar industry that they're trying to protect in the united states there are hundreds of people who have gotten cancer from exposure to monsanto's roundup herbicide who are currently suing the company we have a paper trail that goes back to the one nine hundred eighty s. that shows that monsanto knew that round up causes cancer and they have been able to successfully suppress this evidence and it was only until two thousand and fifteen when the world health organization determined that monsanto is roundup as a probable human carcinogen they've been trying to cover their tracks and convince

regulators that things should proceed business as usual in the united states and in the european union they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars euros every year to suppress the evidence that their products are dangerous and to improperly influence regulators and decision makers in parliament or in the congress if it means billions of dollars in sales to monsanto i think they probably would be better off continuing to hide the evidence even if it means being banned from lobbying. the u.s. and russia have agreed to work together on a new project to build a space station that will orbit the moon the station will serve as a launch pad for further space exploration including manned missions to mars we spoke to former commander leave. things the joint projects such as this help nations to improve the relations on earth. this deep space gateway is one of the

key components of the new architecture that is more moon centric now and it's basically a node a very small and human tended kind of a space station that will enable us to both explore the moon and also service a departure point to go farther into the universe including possibly or hopefully one day to mars we want to go to mars in my opinion i think it makes a lot of sense to go back to the moon first because we want to make sure that everything we send in to mars before we send the crew there is going to work so we want to make sure habitats work the power sources power generators the the rovers spacesuits we want to train crews there the moon is only three days away so if something goes wrong you can get your crew back pretty quickly when the d.s.t. does gives you a lot of flexibility for exploration and i would fully expect all of the partners currently working on the i s s and hopefully new ones as well when we cooperate together in a big simple program like that like a space program that trickles down into other parts of the relationship and that can only be positive and there it is your other today show me for the latest news
