a couple this way to watch him and he's going to win oh you want mcgregor to win but the hall of origin. well the rule of law but the law of the strongest that was the damning assessments of french national security by the country's outgoing interior minister before his resignation earlier this week but some of the measures that have been tabled to improve the situation have been slammed by france's police force shallow deep in ski has more details. aspirant says interior minister resigned this week has shown a spotlight on the state of the country's security and it was stark. i went to all these neighborhoods the situation there is very bad it's time to restore the rule of law then because today's roll of the law of the strongest them the rule of narco traffickers radical islamists who have taken the place of the

republic france has been on a high terror alert since a wave of islam missed attacks in two thousand and fifteen which killed more than one hundred and forty people and the atrocities kept coming. in a bid to keep france safe two hundred and fifty thousand security personnel are deployed every day but forces say they're being stretched too thin and have reached a breaking point they've worked on most twenty two million hours in overtime

without any extra pay but m.p.'s from our corns own party have a simple solution to the problem private security forces are a component which we must know take into account everyone recognizes that there are no key partner there report suggests guards in places like supermarkets and shops should essentially become another arm of the security services it suggests that they could all be equipped with tasers have the right to carry concealed weapons and even get a distinct uniform police unions off few reus to give its privatizing security there's a real problem with the risk of private security agents being more the risk to our citizens than an advantage right now few private security agents can carry firearms but that could also change up to three thousand could be granted the right

to carry guns and rifles a situation which could cause a small revolution in homeland security again making police unions uneasy is a real risk with these agents not having enough training having a weapon in your hand means the possibility of taking your life is out of the question. he says the changes could also lead to a clear divide between the protection of vailable to those who can afford it and those who can't. foresee well fridge people have an equal right to security we want the public service missions to effectively protect french people from the privatization of security because if it's privatized security will depend on the purchasing power of the french to defend themselves and protect themselves also the officers are worried it will move fronts closer to the u.s. model a country all too familiar with gun violence so far this year there have been more than two hundred seventy mass shootings in the us mass shootings mass shooting in

florida another mass shooting in a year of mass shootings in shootings continued unabated people are dying more people have been killed at schools this year and have been killed while serving in the military where the mass shooting generation while france understandably wants to make tragedies on its streets a thing of the past police have slammed the new plans and say there's a far simpler solution just give better back up to existing officers who are accountable to the very people they're meant to protect. at least four people have been killed and dozens injured in a massive blast in the syrian town of azaz next to the turkish border the explosion happens next to a place where feel was stored causing a large fire nearby buildings and vehicles were damaged the cause of the blast has not yet been determined but it occurred during lynyrd clashes between rival

militant forces near place you go to. look for anything that. you want to read you would get one but even those outbursts haven't shaken his lead in the polls his trump like. says are playing their part they will government red tape put brazil first privatized state owned firms get real tough on crime at all costs and in a country that has a history of rampant crime and corruption has cool so far and an audience population is fed up with corruption population is fed up with. going on the crisis and in a crisis of representative each of the traditional parties so the very fact that bush is leading the race as a front runner is a sign of the times here people really don't care what he actually thing about gay people or minorities or or human rights there really are one the change he involved

is just change one can argue that he's not serious about being the change he's not prepared for being the change this is a good argument he was really a fringe figure in brazil and politics one was always been there but it was all very important to change parties all the time but the point is he's contenders that they failed to present themselves as better options even though technically they might be better options. tens of thousands of people took to the streets of edinburgh and support of scottish independence from the united kingdom on saturday the activists were waving giant scottish flags and holding scottish not british many were also wearing kilt. in twenty six days scotland voted to stay in the european union by a large margin in britain as a whole decided to leave the referendum in twenty fourteen so scots reject independence from britain by a ten percent margin but many activists hope to win

must stop o'connell visited the city of their goals home and burial place during the anniversary of the fifth republic his comments came a week after the french government revealed its new budget plan for twenty nineteen as envisions further cuts to pensions and welfare benefits businesses will enjoy tax breaks like in june mccracken said that france spends a crazy amount of cash on social programs meanwhile the latest poll shows micron's popularity has plummeted to thirty percent and another survey the line share of respondents agreed to that mccrone is our organs well as people in paris what they think about his latest remarks. the letter will always to complain if it's in the french character the car needs to accept anyway we have the right to complain. to the french people and the crown's problem is that he's completely disconnected from

what people feel he seems to be young he should be careful not to give too many lessons in this is what my corn is right the friendship complaining too much i hope he'll have no reasons to complain and he's retired as well. as somebody who doesn't know. he doesn't come up even to. use your backlog others like so while good things that life is simple and everything is a deal by his very far. he looks like a young not seen much of ron's does not know how to speak with french people grand looks like a consultant he thinks he's at the head of a company he doesn't understand that he changed his role when he became president. he looks like a cockroach who wants to impose his domination on the farm you know it doesn't work he looks like the good guy but with a smaller nose. the art world has been left stunned after
