this is art international and i'm jacqueline bringing you your life news update this hour thanks for joining us protesters have been burning barricades while police have fired tear gas near the french city of mill and that's as a standoff by environmentalists continues for a second day officers have been trying to evict protestors from their camp in r.t.s. charlotte devinsky was caught up in the action. you can see that we just had to gas fires into this campus trying to move this out demonstrators away and that's because just in the foreground but difficult to see behind some of the smoke or some of the structures that some people have been living in some protesters have been living on this site since two thousand and eight they say is their land and they won't stay and we've been speaking to one young mother who's got a fifteen month old son who's been living here for seven years and this is what she

told us about her thoughts on losing her house which looks like it's next in line to be demolished i think i'm pushing away any kind of review emotional attachment to the buildings right now maybe a cry later question me where all in this together and create crushing a building on those on the side especially in building on the sides i think i apprenticed on the lawn i think i cried. for me it just means that we have less buildings for all of us together and that's the same i don't think i want to particularly attach a sentimental attachment to these buildings i happen to live in i have a fifteen month old child who lives here as well and he's not here right now because. because there's some horrible people there and take as well the tear gases continue to rain down here on day two and just behind me you can see that they're actually just soaring down a tree anything that they can do they're bringing doors in or anything they can do to barricade themselves in from the police to defend this land this land that they

say is that learn to defend my. my . the time we. was police are just about a hundred meters down in the distance right now waiting for whether they going to charge for the.

police and actually question everybody in a way except if you've seen the guy with the huge eyes by getting rid of all the sadness all the activists my well the protesters are so desperate to hold on to this ground there's one person behind me who's actually just grabbing at a small pebbles and mud to be able to fling that at the offices we actually saw some people flinging mud directly at offices yes they were just going to try and get a little bit closer don you might be able to see somebody there one of the scientists activists threw in projectiles this is bottles glass bottles plastic bottles as well as bricks towards the c.r.'s and there you can see where we're getting some things thrown back at them that would be some tig gas going off there don you can hear it's quite loud it's a larry and not take us can reach really for probably about one hundred fifty

meters when it is fired the police the c.r.'s have a lot of work to do if their aims to raise or this entire site is to take place it's unlikely it's going to be finished today because the ziad resistance is very strong but we know that the force of the police is also that around two and a half thousand i'll hear and that the government is determined this will be once and for all the end of sant. doctors and cells where they have now confirmed going to paul has been discharged from hospital following last month's nerve agent attack she's asked for media to respect her privacy you know her father said day is also on the mend but at a slower rate. we have no discharge from salisbury district hospital yulia has asked for proof from the media and i want to reiterate a request her father has also made good progress. on friday i announced he was no

longer in a critical condition. although he's recovering more slowly at the new year we hope that he too will be able to leave hospital in due course well the soles vary hospital has issued that short statement confirming that you a script file has indeed been discharged and they said that this isn't the end of her treatment but it marks a significant milestone report suggests that she left last night that she's been taken to an undisclosed location where she can be safe from the media the foreign secretary boris johnson has tweeted saying congratulations that is wonderful that you list is out of hospital and his to have a full and speedy recovery and there's already been reaction from the russian embassy here in the u.k. saying that we congratulate you on her recovery but we need urgent proof that what's being done to her is being done according to her own free will now the medical recovery that you are and to

a lesser extent her father have made is being presented as nothing short of extraordinary given the severity of the nerve agent that they were said to have been exposed to five weeks ago. were found slumped on that park bench in seoul's glory and very soon afterwards the british government announced that they had been poisoned with a deadly nerve agent one that the government laboratory have cotton down had identified as not of the chong and throughout the media scandal and the in searing diplomatic who allowed the medical gnosis for the script files was catastrophic grave many cameras. weapons that were saying that they wouldn't survive and media reports in the first few days some of them even jumped the gun saying that the script had been murdered and when she pointed the finger of blame at mosco the

prime minister to reason may was also pessimistic when talking about the script pals condition and sadly the last week doctors indicated that their condition is unlikely to change in the near future and they may never recover fully but despite the hospital releasing this statement saying that yes has been discharged the story here is already being spun in a take taylor way it's being spun in a particular direction again some of the media reports and now a keen to make one thing clear to paraphrase a b.b.c. report from this morning the idea that you have a getting to make a full recovery is wrong they're going to be permanently damaged by what's been done to them the scruples were said to have been exposed to a poison from the ritual class of nerve agents developed in the soviet union although it was never called by that name this group of poisons is said to cause

permanent damage or death and is believed to be the most deadly start of substances of its kind in british foreign secretary boris johnson claims the government's porton military lab had managed to trace the agent back to russia something later denied by the labs chief. be categorical or else the guy was so i said are you sure and he said as they don't typically you will not tell you. where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that. we spoke to our law back from the foundation for strategic research who believes this type of a nerve agent is extremely damaging. to be very toxic highly toxic five to eight times more toxic than the x. which is already very very toxic so a small amount should have killed creeped out for sure but what is still very. difficult to assess today is how do you know the joke was delivered

to the victim so before we know exactly how the novi joke was delivered to the victim it's very difficult to assess the amount of the chemical agent that was in contact with the victims. of this couple poisoning and the subsequent diplomatic fallout have given rise to a number of voices telling football fans to think twice before visiting russia for this summer's world cup however present so the action on the pitch and not what's happening off of it should remain the focus jonny in trentino opened up to print peter schmeichel the danish football legend has got a new show right here on r.t. it is no secret a lot of tension between the world and the world cup host nation. afifa how are you dealing with that i mean how are you sort of. coming in making this a best event in the world with all that's going on at the moment by focusing on football i think that's the key and that's the secret we have to focus on for both

think there are enough. people around the world to try to just you know divide or argue or dispute or whatever we have to try to unite. football is uniting some of the spin from western media is that it's not safe to go to russia you know security is not good enough don't go off scene you know in england they're basically saying to the fans don't go it's not safe. what what would you say to that is to say to go to russia of course of the safe to go to russia. for this and it will be very safe but it will be even say for the world to russia during the world cup because the authorities in russia very much aware of what the world cup means and they want to show as well a welcoming country and the preparations in terms of security for the world cup are

beyond any other. event or any other situation so the conditions will be there for a very safe world cup and obviously those who want to bore and enjoy football and enjoy a part of the summer they should go to russia those who want to go to have riots or whatever they buy the book will almost exactly goes home with. fake and staves that was the verdict of russia's envoy to the u.n. over the latest alleged chemical attack in syria reports on saturday claiming dozens had died in the city of duma after chlorine gas was dropped on the area russia says damascus is ready to accept independent chemical experts to prove or contest moscow's conclusions. some fucked for them and right now we cannot confirm

the use of chemical weapons but we also want independent experts to give their assessment we invited the organization to the precipitation of chemical weapons experts to visit the site and we will work hard to make this visit happen we cannot blindly believe in the results of investigations achieved from a distance. however russia's envoy failed to convince some security council members of that with the u.s. saying it to be considering tougher response to the attack with more on the latest security council session here's our tears in their trunk up when the most powerful people in the world say things like you'll face the most serious consequences or there will be a big price to pay what or who was meant to calm things down people in this room was nelson one of the liberation of duma from rebel fighters russian specialist was a specialist in radiological chemical and biological protection to collect evidence and information in interviews non-single local president confirm the chemical to

have been so you can place bodies of people killed by chemical agents have not been found and chemical personnel and residents have no information about their potential areas therefore the use of sarin and chlorine has not been confirmed i could hold up pictures of babies lying dead next to their mothers brothers and sisters toddlers and infant still in diapers all lying together dead who does this. only a monster justice aside from that the envoys to are speaking the language of threats something women and men who are from venus and mars but rather it's the teams from the opposite sides of the security council table looks like we shouldn't really expect any decisions being made together. to figure it out in the cordons with its own mandate do and gain in the notion that piece of security and not

polled international go to for godsake ensure a make good movement but on doing basically gave it to allegation and attribute responsibility. history will record the moment when the security council either discharged its duty or demonstrate its under and complete failure to protect the people or theory here where i'm not it's well worth. staffan de mistura is if you haven't forgotten the un's men to sort out syria even the most obvious suggestion from a to probe to send qualified people to inspect the alleged chemical attack site didn't help that's something the russian military has already done by the way they went into duma went to hospitals spoke to locals know songs of a chlorine attack were found by them moscow says send an o. p. c. w.

mission to the area right now the armies of russia and syria are promising to protect the un staff there. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons which said it is ready to investigate this matter should immediately was tomorrow go to damascus syrian troops along with bush and provide everything necessary to the. allegedly chemicals surprisingly london did say it was a good idea not that as a result of the session we heard such recall being officially made in the meantime the official line coming out of the u.n. altogether is don't expect much from it because you were so just as much in the dark is the rest of us relying on. you know we're not to this issue at this point to independently verify the allegations well even if you and investigators

end up and do let's hope it's not too late the french president called for a firm response after discussing the chemical incident with donald trump late on monday while mainstream media outlets are holding back and giving advice to the leaders we spoke about the situation with former u.s. presidential candidate ron paul now chair of the institute for peace and prosperity . most of the time when a crime is committed in this country the stations when they're not sure they're careful they say this is allegedly but they never do this under these circumstances and they have zero bits of information it's over and over again they had to the person is guilty and that is the person that is you know the russians and the syrians are guilty of a crime and it goes over and over again but you know did that is the script and then they finally had to give up the hero that nothing came panned out so they had to go on to a new one so as one runs out of steam they create another fake news program. i think the least likely would be his sod this whole idea saw it's over and over

again i probably heard it ten times today assad is gassing his own people and i've said it every time i haven't a son in a month or two later they prove that was absolutely wrong so i cannot see any reason why assad would do this there's no reason for a russian have done this there's somebody who wants to serve up trouble and the people who want to stay there. the british government comes under fire for giving money to palestinian schools details on that after the short break. the cold war so you want the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken or forcing you to fight the battle but. if you stop spreading so you get the big gossip a couple of. blocks eyes and tell you that you are not pulling out like a lot. of the hawks that we all. want

. call me just manufacture to send stuff to the public we'll see. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the fine larry going to listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. leave or you leave. come back british aid money has reportedly been used to buy books for palestinian schools which promote martyrdom and anti-semitism it's led to accusations that the

u.k.'s damaging peace prospects for the israeli palestinian conflict these are examples of the task set to the children and math students must find the number of martyrs who died during two palestinian revolt against israel in physics a picture is used of a boy with a slingshot targeting soldiers the u.k. government says it's against all forms of violence and tries to have dialogue with both sides of the conflict to promote quote a positive portrayal of each other my colleague neil harvey put the issue up for debate. it's a huge tragedy that a hardworking british taxpayer is funding and subsidizing palestinian terrorism huge amounts of the money from the preachers taxpayer unfortunately goes in to inciting violence against innocent israelis or it's outrageous is actually typical of people like richard to our apologies for the israeli the

zionist occupation and now he's saying he is trying to make us to believe that those who are occupied should not even defend themselves according to their right on their international law it is actually a right to resist illegal occupation and indeed is their right and is their right to teach their children if we see in a physics task a picture of a boy targeting israeli soldiers can you not see that there's a great danger that that's promoting an aggressive viewpoint in the children promoting violence in their minds you know what i mean you know look at the reality that child is being brutalized by those soldiers on a daily basis their whole lives their family their culture you know you look at the time you think you know she didn't just slap the soldier she was in the house she was in the cult of who was shot in the face these people are going through

brutality which is unbelievable by ourselves richard would you be happy to see books of a different type in there promoting something more diplomatic. yeah of course that would be fantastic but it's just not the reality because the palestinian authority hamas massud very well the state of israel to exist very well lest they don't want any peace they're happy to see the bloodshed continue was he's living safely in london he can talk was he's encouraging the violence that we're seeing in sergeant by these textbooks. the leader of the lebanese militant group hezbollah has revealed that washington offered to remove it from terror watch list moreover the u.s. would give it financial aid if the party dropped its resistance to israeli

occupation arties he says that they picked up the story. the u.s. terror list arguably the most dangerous list in the world and if you're on the database need assume there's no way out of big brunton international threats right wrong if you want your name scratched off for good harry options you could become a friend of a friend the chief of hezbollah that any share of political and military may have meant with links to iran says the united states offered the group the chance to be removed from its national terror watch list but there was a catch jay a billy salim indicates to me a good message from the u.s. was president saying that the u.s. is ready and that will be a part of the lebanese government's billions of dollars and be removed from the ter list but on the two conditions first one is that we work for the americans and the second is that will stop resisting the israeli your patience israel's are very firm and strong our so basically as long as you're nice to washington's friends i'm for

fair the proof that money talks look no further than the peoples moshe has been organization of iran doesn't matter that you killed american personnel and civilians top notch lobbyists will do the job politicians will back you at rallies people who are islamic but what martin and secular t.v. ads will proclaim your innocence from t.v. screens. any k. is a ranch democratic opposition working for a nuclear free iran founded on human rights unjustly listed a terrorist group is the victim of your life is. like yeah lies this next option is simple just sits and waits until the tags were made if the noble peace prize winner nelson mandela waited till days before with ninetieth birthday what a nice present from washington and five years later at his funeral all was forgiven and forgotten to the day said that the world thanks you for your notes to

go with us. his struggle was your strong. but the people who are the birds and those who are under the joint is the. same mentality now widely seen as an international hey right was branded as an international threat to decades even many tend. to think. that this. is just like a red line for you that you loved as you can see russia in this land is going to you know on the battlefield there are groups that nest together or individual fighters or groups of fighters it's not a clean situation all the time so it depends that being on the u.s. terror list may have little to do with that big terrorist however it is using what you might call the carrot and stick approach rather how de way for a government to achieve its strategic goals if you look and see who has been designated as

a foreign terrorist organization by the united states they are always the governments that seek to be independent from the united states or have challenge us hegemony in their area or in their country thus the label is purely political it doesn't really say anything about terrorism or about the people who are saying under the f t o foreign terrorist organization label it's a form of bullying on a grand scale. russia's currency the ruble went into a nose dive early on tuesday it suffered its biggest single day fall in more than two years the currency plunge comes hot on the heels of sharp falls in russian stocks on monday some companies including russia's biggest aluminum producer roussel lost almost half their value as well as new u.s. sanctions imposed on friday against russian businesses and their companies we spoke to several russian financial experts about the situation. the level of stress in

the financial system a steel plate to moderate and to pure and clean the past few years the quantum and the financial system has adapted to the new would you believe featuring that is why we expect to see still volatility to be of relatively shortly even today we do see some restoration the most negative thing is if you influence the currency exchange rate but even these a film of that trend. and i'll craig's fed the boom bull raid still to recall. in the coming months do you know if sanctions are a net negative for the economy but do you think the sanctions might make it even more risky to take up though from abroad so in this regard sanctions my limits domestic capital flight by limit domestic them on the floor and they said it was a car and so much was that might result in

a bit higher inflation but you know there are few places in those days that historic low close to two percent so what you call this might help to bring you close to the top of the four percent which still would be a loom so substantial alou able of inflation for their official economy. as a boy fyodor yurchikhin looked up into the night sky and dreamed of one day becoming a cosmopolitan however his dream only became a reality at the age of forty three after more than a decade of trying on this channel you can learn more about his journey beginning from tomorrow. course the swarm see the blue of them so moving. to build your school the local mall for. much of those who heard it's a preview or few of them do so see him one more north we will forgo. the good move. move.
