weird too many things happen when up till now we are afraid you're afraid to go out in the evening why they can steal your jewelry they can grab your bag we have never seen anything like that the police used to be more tough but now even they're afraid. to do the crime rate is significant in grenoble compared to cities of the same size the city is plagued with drug trafficking there's not a single week without a knife attack or criminal settling their schools. had to have renewed the fact that interior minister came to visit because the assam region we thought he would visit grenoble even for a short visit. in the future and we will of course make additional efforts in this area. click

on that so it talky preserve phrase because there again he's both male and female who just come and rob them in broad daylight and no one even moves because they're scared to death the police are afraid of those crooks because they have kalashnikovs they're on to the teeth with the weapons of war and the municipal police have nothing to get there by the national police i believe it is the criminals who are the law in this city. dozens of palestinians have been wounded in a protest along the gaza border that's according to the local health ministry israel has responded saying it was defending its border and accuses hamas of using demonstrators as a cover to breach the border fence and dari reports from the protest. today is the twenty second friday of the. march of return mass demonstrations today holliston us

9:33 pm
tried to book an apartment in march say his reservation was canceled without explanation but when he got a friend who he describes as having a quote good french name to try and book the same property he was told it was available for hire after posting his story online he says hundreds came forward saying they have been treated the same by other landlords air b.n. b. responded saying it's sorry for what happened and underlined that it does not tolerate any form of discrimination we discussed the incident with a french lawyer and a pair of space political commentator. i think there's a problem with part of the foreign committee usa in the large sense today in france which has got a bad image and some people would rather not read than rants to people who got this bad image and particularly within the north african community is giving some are jews who are racist people who don't want to see enough african host in their house lot of people will think people coming from africa. to incivility to
9:34 pm
terrorism and unfortunately these are some of the reasons why we speak a lot of the north african community today i don't agree with the thing that we can sum up the reality of people acting or having delinquent behavior just by giving roots of this people but this has nothing to do this has nothing to do explain the behavior again i'm not saying the end tired north african community each so a lot of this is a suggestion that i work with interests and they're not skis that nasser i'm to i'm just telling you there is a problem which has to be settled i have no people from the north african community ashamed of what other people in their community you know and you can see this unfortunate on a daily basis imagine the french person who has no contacts with the north african community who read the press on a daily basis and weeds people who have been committing crimes who have been terror who are terrorists who are advocating death to france or that they hate tracks and
9:35 pm
every time to read this unfortunately again i'm the first to say unfortunately unfortunately see that they're often associated with the name from north africa now if there are people who are considering that the route the original behavior the. sexual or attention or the faith or the own faith is. a good purpose to discriminate they are wrong on their own not respecting the law this is what we have to remind in of in the state which is the state of low. washington has hinted it could hit turkey with sanctions over its decision to buy russian made air defense systems the u.s. has also warned against other nato allies having similar ideas in the past. you know it goes against our policy to have a nato allies such as turkey use an asse four hundred system part of the problem with that is that it is not in iraq robel with other nato systems and so we are
9:36 pm
against the having some of our partners and allies around the world potentially purchase us four hundred sixty trigger cats is not going to get into that but we have made very clear what could trigger sanctions for other countries and entities around the world the russian made s. four hundred missile system is capable of hitting multiple high speed aerial targets within a range of four hundred kilometers the deal signed by turkey in russia last year is worth two point five billion dollars and the first systems will be delivered next year ungar has been looking to bolster its air defenses since the u.s. withdrew its patriot missiles from the syrian border region back in two thousand and fifteen now russia has long time military trade partners from all over the world as the head of the state arms exporter explains this should be just that i'm looking at the s four hundred is the most advanced missile defense system in the world countries are already lining up to purchase it we have gained a firm food hold and. our contras the result of the ship with india and
9:37 pm
china. and the collective security drew to organization also work with military industries on more denies and forces. and it's not only turkey going against the grain when it comes to the defense trade and america the outspoken president of the philippines has dismissed an offer to buy u.s. made f. sixteen fighter jets saying buying them would be utterly useless. we do not need sixteen it would be totally useless by you but they need to look for some small things what a bunch of. detail made the offer of signed by washington's top brass public during a military ceremony the president then highlighted that the letter from the u.s. defense and state secretaries came after officials in washington had made humiliating comments about his country's crackdown on drugs security analyst charles shoebridge thinks the u.s. is pushing arms sales for political leverage point we thought from the operational
9:38 pm
military perspective of sixteen's are not much use in the immediate threats that he perceives the philippines faces and he perceives with good reason but there is i think more today of what we're talking about here is trying to use this as a means of leverage to control the fallen policies of other countries and that's exactly what the philippine president regardless of whether one likes him or not always policies he has correctly identified that america uses this to pressure its allies into staying as allies after all the letter that the philippines president objected to basically said don't forget that is about more than capability it's also about a relationship you buy american weapons you're investing in a relationship. in the u.s. state of louisiana for anti pipeline activists and journalists have been arrested and charged under a controversial new law there are many activists say they're now facing increased
9:39 pm
police repression including the use of tasers let's take a look at the pipeline at the center of the story.
9:40 pm
that new law took effect on august the first unless pipelines as critical infrastructure which makes trespassing on the ground they're being dealt illegal those disobeying at risk to have to fine or as long as five years behind bars activists say that a number of off duty police officers were also working for a private security firm to protect the construction site but they're no longer working in that capacity activist ted hall believes the new law goes against america's core principles really think it is the right word to death a city as well as the desperation because companies disclose these legislatures in trying to hide how pathetically an american this kind of a law is because privatization unconstitutional actions that have not been held up in the supreme court clearly don't measure up to the law of the land the constitution this needs to be understood as something that should be contained it
9:41 pm
is so that it doesn't spread throughout the united states and so it does not spread throughout the rest of the worlds. ted hall the activist you just heard from also took part in the dakota pipeline protests that project face opposition over fears that drinking water would be polluted and indian heritage sites destroyed. on numerous occasions the protests there turned violent with state law enforcers as well the national guard engaging in standoff with the activists officers use force to disperse crowds and water cannon in freezing temperatures hundreds of people were injured some seriously but police defended their actions saying the activists were trespassing and rioting describing them as very aggressive here's ted hall again with his take on that. i believe that any kind of perceived by it if that would ever occur we need to be under incredible scrutiny because it's doubtful that sees the advocates for farmers rights advocates for it landowner
9:42 pm
rights you know to kids who are. seen to claim that future are going to resort to that kind of to sit in a civilised approach. a former nurse who's lived in britain since she was a baby is facing deportation of a tallis who was originally born in the caribbean and whose father served in the royal air force is one of hundreds caught up in the so-called wind rush scandal a government policy which wrongly targeted commonwealth citizens immigration status churns been telling her story to r.t. . i had to stop work i lost my job i was a registered nurse i went into financial difficulties i lost my dad in twenty two or my brother to suicide i ended up stealing money is one patients i'm. in have it ended up in person yet in a prison sentence everything just accumulators it was just like
9:43 pm
a knock on effect people are dying or people have literally died or stressed people have committed suicide because of this it's been a tough road for sharon a former n.h.s. nice who's facing deportation despite having lived here most of her life while waiting for an update on her status she was told she could no longer work and was advised to seek charity help in order to feed her kids if they can just allow me to go to work at least i'm not allowed to claim benefits and the person said not you're not allowed to claim any benefits you have no status so i said to her home i suppose to feed my child he's twelve he didn't do anything wrong and she said well go online and seek charity the forty six year old was born in germany while her father was deployed during his service in the r.a.f. her family moved back to the u.k. months after her birth i mean our family has been connected to to england for years everyone was proud of him being a soldier i saw because of my dad service i shouldn't work my children should
9:44 pm
starve and i should be pushed into destitution that's it and i should be proud that he was serving the queen into our live for us. that's a punishment her siblings who were born in the u.k. have never faced problems with their status but sharon has been told she is not british on the grounds that she was not born within the nation's boundaries sharon believes she has rights to citizenship because of her father's service there's a document called the queen's rules and regulations of the armed forces and this control is everything you do as an as an army personnel wherever in the world you are and it says in black and white any children children should not suffer from their citizenship nationality problems anything were when they were born they should be treated as born on british soil if there was one the home office said that some inaccurate legislation summary of legislation so history in the queen's document is wrong one of the girls said well i'm not nationality tree and i said so
9:45 pm
where where you dealing with me but you give me a british but at the cricket so you have me on your numbers that i was born in britain but then i'm not british the home office has previously said that there is no guarantee for children born abroad to non british citizens to claim british nationality even if their parents served in the armed forces sharon now has no choice but to wait for an appeal decision on october the fourth sharon is just one of dozens of descendants of the wind rush generation who have had their lives turned upside down by the government's hostile environment policy to clamp down on illegal immigrants i just think it's a racist thing i don't like to preterists but. who is it happening to is a minority groups because i met my knowledge a group then i put it on to racism so francisco the golden gate city known for its views and stunning landscape is apparently awash in human waste the problem
9:46 pm
has gotten so bad that special teams are being deployed to clean the place up. is the worst you've seen and i will say that there is more there's more. on the sidewalks and i've ever seen you know growing up here that was something that did not wasn't the norm but the worst thing that i've ever seen for sure. san francisco has been a city where you needed three hundred fifty thousand dollar income to afford a median priced home in a city that has just announced to the patrol to clean up the streets instead of telling people to use a bathroom san francisco is going to send a. troll to pick. a six person crew that goes around the city to clean up how much would you have to make to do this job.
9:47 pm
nobody wants to step in feces i have children i don't want to do that either i don't like finding use needles but there are approaches in the city is trying but we actually need some federal help in this case in my opinion. if you're going to get your hands dirty if you can do with. that's a global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always had to our website r.t. dot com for the latest on all those stories and much more. when
9:48 pm
a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder trial in the car and it's meaningless in the death penalty just because they think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying it was just no way to parent and that we wouldn't even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to get pell here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.
9:49 pm
hello and welcome to cross talk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle is democratic socialism the future of the democratic party the future of america is moving to the left a winning strategy to take on donald trump's vision of conservative populism one thing is undeniable mainstream politics in both parties were under pressure to evolve and become more accountable.
9:50 pm
cross talking democratic socialism i'm joined by my guest steve malzberg in new york he's a conservative political commentator in washington we have ivan eland he is a senior fellow at the center on peace and liberty at the independent institute and in los angeles we cross to run the cone he is a comedian he's a frequent guest on the jimmy doris show and the young turks as well as host of his own streaming show get your news on withdrawn all right gentlemen crosstalk rules and effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate i always go to the person that got up early is for the program so that means it's you ron in los angeles god bless your soul. we you know we hear a lot about the the rise of democratic socialism. that turn to the left in the party though the donors don't seem to want to go there what is democratic socialism because i'd like to remind our viewers i've lived in communist eastern europe and they call that democratic socialism ok and they didn't have a lot of birkenstocks and they didn't have
9:51 pm
a lot of capital to point out so ron what is it in a nutshell go ahead well democratic socialism in the contemporary american sense i mean you know whenever people throw around these two. you need to factor in you know the snapshot in contemporary time but democratic socialism is certainly not authoritarian socialism or anything like that democratic socialism as the d.s.a. is presenting it basically just gives more rights to the workers it still allows enterprises stuff like that however workers have more rights and they have more of a say and they see more of their product and what the d.s.a. is mission is in particular is to try to get away from the economy that instead exploits workers and is focused on destroying the environment and war they're trying to get away from all that to occur in an economy that is more sustainable that workers have a better seat at the table and where everybody has health care ok ok steve i mean you know socialism tends to become authoritarian if you don't keep an eye on it i'd
9:52 pm
like to point out in a move in the country that had a pretty disastrous experience with that but steve you know when i listen to a lot of people talking about democratic socialism ron pointed out on workers' rights i don't hear that so often when they talk i hear about abolishing ice having open borders. you know cultural relativism that's what i hear i hear identity politics and that makes a hair on the back of my head stand up go ahead. absolutely all you have to do is go to the democratic socialists of america website and find out what the democratic socialists of america are really all about everything you just alluded to plus guaranteed income whether or not you're working when you talk about the workers having more rights they want the end of capitalism and workers to run the show workers would own and run everything there wouldn't be private ownership by corporations stockholders would go to you know where and let me let me just if i may hate reading thing but this is very important the disgraceful use of prisons to
9:53 pm
regulate behavior would be replaced with a system that decriminalizes a wide range of offenses and provides victims victims are the ones in prison provides victims with mental health care and various forms of counseling to help people find productive ways to move forward after committing serious crimes so you commit a serious crime no more prison you know get counseling these people are looney bins ok let the democrats run on this employees ok see what you just described is good mo in one form or another let me get i've been ill and in washington here. i hate reading things too but i will a harvard university study. published a study in april that found fifty one percent of those between the ages of eighteen and twenty nine dislike capitalism with a majority prefer and socialism as a political system is socialism a political system that's what i'm worried about when ron talks about workers i'm
9:54 pm
all yours i'll listen to workers' rights i don't have a problem with that ok we need a healthy left in the united states here but people talk about a political system that is socialism go ahead i've been well of course the technical definition of socialism is nationalizing industry nationalizing the means of production and i'm not sure i hear anybody really talking about that i see strong. king similarities between the right in the left that we have now i wouldn't consider trump a conservative i would consider him a nationalist he's been for quite a big a big government that we want to talk over measure in all its forms i think you know he was he passed in the republicans went right along with them three hundred billion dollars budget meanwhile cutting taxes and yawning the deficit and the debt we also have him putting on tariffs protectionist tariffs which isn't conservative and then they eling out the farmers with twelve billion dollars worth of aid which
9:55 pm
doesn't really cover the problem it's not going to cover the losses that he's cut off a terrorist he's also said he's not going to do away with security in medicare now my purpose here isn't to attack trump i'm just saying that he's a more nationalist republican and i think bernie sanders followers have a lot in common with him to some extent now of course that's left populism and he's sort of a right populist in the case of the president so you're seeing encroachments of big government and you know we have all these terms for democratic socialism right wing populism but we may end up sort of all at the same place with more government encroachment on our freedoms you know running it it seems to me the in looking at some of the races that it's still been a more of a rejection of the status quo and some people move to the the right and some people move to the left but everybody seems to have
9:56 pm
a problem except for people in the center and they want to keep everything the way it is and i did mention just off the cuff donors don't want to big change here too and i'm not sure i'm not just at tacking the democrats here you can easily as i've been did do it to the right but republicans as well go ahead ron. absolutely so first of all we have border security we had border security before i suggested it's not like anybody who calls for the abolishment of ice is calling for open borders i'm in favor of abolishing ice i think this country is a lot like espresso in that regard better without ice however that doesn't mean open borders that just means a rejection of this organization that is being authoritarian and brutal so that's the first point and also yeah the democratic establishment is not a big fan of the d.s.a. or anything there about that so this is their first priority. but yeah i mean their first priority is stopping progressive policies from happening and policing the
9:57 pm
donors their priority further down the list is maybe beating a republican but that's not that big of a deal because whether that happens or not the gravy train keeps a roll and. we are seeing a rise in populism now i would make the argument i know some you guys on this panel see things differently that's fine but i would say right wing populism isn't really a thing that's kind of an oxymoron so i think trump ran on this kind of idea of that and a lot of people latched onto it i would say largely he hasn't delivered on that and i don't think he's going to but i think that the time for true populism is at are at the forefront right now and if history in the united states is any indication we're kind of due for a sharp turn to the left or right now we're mirroring the great depression in the anyways ok but what happened after that was f.d.r. ok ok let me go to stay here because i mean again it could be you know i mean ron
9:58 pm
you've been on this program before and we've discussed this you know left in progressive in this stablish woman and all that that's fine but steve you know ever since two thousand and ten the democrats you know have lost over and over and over again because i keep running on the same message over and over again and. one can make the argument that trump appealed to the people that filled the disaffected i mean a lot of white men a lot of white people in general voted in two thousand and sixteen because they finally found a candidate that that they could they could see that would consider their concerns ok so i mean you know a lot has been said here but i mean i do i do think that this is a lot about insurgency and it's all about bernie sanders i think this is going to be the most important event remember not trouble is elected but what was done to bernie go ahead steve well first of all let's also point out that donald trump got the higher percentage of hispanics of voting for him only and did mitt romney or john mccain which i think is something that goes overlooked and really should look
9:59 pm
the reason why the donors don't want the you know the socialist democrats influence and and policies and platforms it's because they can't win i mean that's why someone like me is begging you and begging the democrats to run how do you explain that ensemble or know where you stand to keep. a lid on so cool and a little first of all this a very very very small percentage of people voted and she happens to live in a district where where the message appeals but even she isn't honest when she is pressed on what she she believes as a democratic socialist she says oh i don't think we should have labels i don't like the label and if that if the word got out that she was for abolishing prisons abolishing prisons abolishing capital is not good for us and i didn't say that we are listening about what are often prison industry those are two completely it's a policy as there is simply different things if you want to talk about what's going
10:00 pm
on or rather have a long conversation like that and how it's take that further to haul it lee different thanks. guys for the program what they think about where the program i said one thing. well time for everyone i've been let me turn to you. the g.o.p. should love these democratic socialists because it's the fight it's dividing the democratic party and you can tell from the very top they're scared of these people go ahead of it yeah i would say to the democrats that you know it's ok to have that wing of the party and the republicans had the tea party wing but but it does make your candidate unelectable in certain places now if they the democratic party runs more conservative candidates in in these places they have a better chance of winning but i'm sure the part.
