from moscow just gone up four pm here local time diana hawkins thanks for joining us this hour. a controversial you know climb for months post and then come on the numbers and figures which include of i think some sort of goes to court of some kind i don't mean me more i'm. chimbley many million lotion and have prescriptions for community thirty eight. point in going on could sort of but of course to do. well so well while the journalistic revelations if we can call them that continue to be made it does seem to continue to be a major standstill in terms of figuring out kind of a common way to move forward with this story which continues at this point to be a lot of he said she said and certainly a lot of opposing opinions on how exactly. what had happened to all and in terms of

the specific individuals that have been in the headlines recently. live from london with the latest updates on the script. diversification facts for. demonstrations are on the way across france students unions take to the streets to protest against the monorail micron's reforms nearly one hundred events planned throughout the country are joining me now and paris where hundreds are expected so out. charlotte dubin skewed to try to get on the line now charlotte your protests. the president's policies. well thousands of people have come out on to the streets paris all to do one thing to complain to protest against the policies of a manual michael misgovernment many people unhappy with the reforms he's undertaken

in his seventeen months in office and the reforms that he's proposing for the next few years i reforms when it comes to things like pensions reforms when it comes to people entering university reforms when it comes to this solution model here in france and this is of course union protests people coming together to say that actually these policies right president are going to destroy france's sushil model if you take a look around me now you can see some of the people that have come out this is workers pension is the youth of all come out here and we've walked for about a kilometer. half the streets have been full of people all unhappy with those policies of the government that one of the things they've also been saying to me is they're unhappy with some of the things that the president has come out with such as telling an unemployed gardener that if he had just moved across the street he'd be able to get a job easily and also in the last week or so telling. tention is that they should

stop complaining taking a leaf out of the book of the founder of the fifth republic scholz to call let's take a look at what he said to this pension is. to keep the room full of general shoulder told me you can speak freely with the only thing we don't have the right to do is complain because you would be different if everyone did the same. with many people very unhappy with president mack on not just those here on the streets but also if you look at the polls in recent months we have seen his popularity dive in those polls some poll suggesting his popularity is known as thirty percent at the moment some unofficial pose could be even lower than now we know that there have been many crises facing the presidency in the last few months he's had to place big resignations from his cabinet to cabinet that he's reshuffling on tuesday and we also saw the pin our affair this is

a former security aide to the president who is seen during the last big protests the may day protests of actually assaulting a number of the protesters right charlotte. live from paris we're losing the connection or a bit short of the risky with the latest on those protests. brett kavanaugh has been sworn in as a judge at the u.s. highest court after a deeply contentious nomination process a brief f.b.i. investigation failed to find evidence to support much publicized sexual misconduct allegations against trump's nominee protesters still turned out though with some focusing veron go on the white female voters who voiced their support for governor as our new york times opinion article described. these women are gender traitors it seems that white women are expected to support the patriarchy by marrying within

their racial group reproducing whiteness and even minimizing violence indians' their own bodies betray the patriarchy and your whiteness won't save you this blood pact between white men and white women is at issue in the november midterms in fact several articles laid out the coven are controversy as a fight against feminism again putting the blame on white female voters washington correspondent samir ican picks up a story. rallies held hearings upturned but brett kavanaugh still gets the job so who's to blame mainstream media quickly found the scapegoat white women or to be more specific those who backed capital despite all his controversies notably numerous sexual assault allegations which denies that they've made standing by patriarchy a full time job white women benefit from patriarchy by trading on their whiteness to monopolize resources for mutual gain these are the kind of women who think being

falsely accused of rape is almost as bad as being raped it is far from the only highly emotional opinion piece in the press with some even pending letters to women who dare to think outside their gender public shame in the media and these authors these activists using public shaming. of white women apparently white women that supported cavanagh's confirmation ever kratz painted the capitol case in binary terms you're either for or against women no other options and totally focus with all the angry women and the men who listen to women the intention is to take away women's rights it was a denial of justice for the women of this country however not all members of the fairer sex were convinced that his confirmation posed a existential threat to women's rights in fact the poll suggests that capital was actually backed by almost half of white women in the u.s. it's not the first time women quote brainwashed by patriarchy are being blamed for the democratic party spill years in twenty six feet most white women in fact voted

for trump clinton even blamed for a loss on white women leaving to men we don't do well with married white women and part of that is ongoing pressure to. vote the way that your husband your boss your son whoever believes you should mainstream media were shocked after the election c.n.n. invited people who voted for barack obama but not hillary clinton. or anybody. both or anybody nobody but you. you're never going to get it and it will be. so i guess. i did it. she scared me in america politics is often the case nowadays firmly tied to identity so ironic as it may seem perhaps not so surprising that self-proclaimed feminists and women's rights defenders now lecture women on how to vote and what to think that's public shaming is a it's

a harmful thing it's harmful in any society and it's using people that disagree with your opinion to come out and just shame the ref you see women attacking women people are protecting people and it's all in name of politics it's hilarious to see that that's what you think is an appropriate reaction for something that that was handled the way it's supposed to be handled under protocol and then going out there and blaming it i mean that's all we're seen as a society of public shaming and blame going on there a school of thought to cover those namesakes who've been getting pretty tough time of online over the past few weeks at least they have some sympathy as well. wouldn't you say you've been through hill. then through hell and then some boy why this particular thread cavanaugh is the world's worst celebrity spokesperson for beer boys like beer girls like beer i like beer so there's temperament problems

for their small scale credibility problems which are sometimes the worst ones come together you accuse me of sexual assault. i did it yeah i know. this is a terrible time to be named fred cavanagh. welcome to the club brother. was the last two years full of full control in european bulls is move on. get used to the twitter notifications. i feel you bro. between producing the beatles and writing game of thrones i'm surprised i haven't enough time to reply to this. my name really is is a phrase i know well. i'm so sorry.

and the way to prominent russian footballers of being investigated over two separate attacks in public those custody tells i would all sports correspondent at exeter chefs just after this short break. i've been saying the numbers mean they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families. eighty five percent of global wealth to the rich the weak six percent market thirty

percent year some with four hundred to five hundred first took a first shot and when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrials but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is the one show forward to miss the one and only . come back to watch international two leading russian footballers are being investigated after a high ranking government official was apparently attacked in a cafe and another man allegedly assaulted in the street now both incidents in the

russian capital took place just about within two hours of each other and both victims were taken to hospital and let's get more now sports correspondent alexei to shift key here with me it's obviously been the main headline of the country probably in sports headlines since this morning. not looking very good for these two footballers is it absolutely i mean when i looked at those videos i thought somebody was trying to reenact the grand theft auto computer game in the streets of moscow but it happened to be not just to footballers to star for. bowlers now one of them i saw that got caught in this leading strike and then in st petersburg he actually scored a winner in the europa league just a fortnight ago the others by the maya from class that are both used to play for the russian national team up until twenty sixteen couldn't miss the world cup two due to an injury but he was still considered as one of the top strikers now they went out in the streets while little bit of was fighting his controversial m.m.a. clash with conor mcgregor in las vegas at the same time they were in a strip club they went out of the strip club for some reason clashed with a man in the street who happened to be a personal driver of a t.v.

host in russia now this man reportedly is in intensive care with a brain injury with a head injury and will get more updates on his condition later i assume so they did not stop there after that brawl and we can see the video of the man in the white hat is actually my if according to eyewitness reports they went further they went to a cafe and in central moscow and collapsed with two visitors of that cafe the visitors were turned out to be public servants both relatively high ranking government officials one of them also reportedly ended up in hospital with injuries so you know indefensible actions and it's really really not looking good for these two footballers after this you know mayhem in central moscow and what's the reaction to incident been obviously a lot of details coming in unconfirmed of them from various news channels saying there's now another incident on the train and you know all the speculation. this is really stirred some heavy controversy hasn't russia indeed i mean the reactions

have been overwhelming and they have been overwhelming criticism as well coming from the very top and let's listen to what the russian sports minister had to say about that. here the victims have turned to the police there is video of the incident they cannot be any extenuating circumstances in this situation and this is unacceptable unsportsmanlike behavior to cast a shadow on all russian football is. their words a five o'clock offer echoed in their reactions coming from the russian premier league and the both respective clubs senate st petersburg and cross that are let's have a look the russian premier league expresses its concern and strongly condemn their hooligan behavior we believe that those responsible should face the strongest possible punishment there is no place for hooligans in football we consider any form of violence an acceptable and condemn we are certain that at the end of the investigation this incident will receive an appropriate legal assessment we're waiting for a legal assessment from the respective agencies but from

a human and emotional point of view this incident only evokes shane. now both clubs have been relatively quiet about the possible repercussions for both players but the talk of the town that both clubs are looking into terminating these players contracts they're just looking at the contracts where this domination is possible but let's not forget if they are found guilty if they're charged and found guilty of these misdemeanors they could face up to two years in prison each and that is definitely more serious than terminating a contract you know of course footballers are renowned for being party boys making some mistakes this is pretty serious there isn't and it's not the first time this have made headlines is it yeah definitely you talking about party boys they went on a big party surprisingly after russia crashed out of the euro two thousand and sixteen championship they were caught filmed in one of the monaco is nightclubs with a lavish party with champagne and smoking which. should not be doing even if this

not you know if it's outside of the of the peerage. according to was caught several times reckless driving in moscow in his bentley he was pictured in the south a city a wedding firing off pistols in the air so they are pretorius for their misdemeanors but of course all that pales in comparison to what they did this last weekend and it's absolutely no chance that they will skate any sort of punishment from that looks like they have gone one step too far this time or quite a few steps to follow thanks for the updates we back to you as more news comes in and. over to another keenly watched vote fast approaching crucial midterm elections in the u.s. it's an incredibly close run race vote is being seen as a potential deal breaker for control of the senate now the traditionally democrat supporting state of new jersey is drawing all the focus and influential black past the seemingly threw support behind the republican candidate there now polls are showing there's very little currently between embattled democratic senator robert

menendez and republican challenger bob hugo and despite claims by menendez pastore jethro james insists he invited both contenders to meet his congregation. so often the african-american vote is taken for granted and so i believe we should have had or should have. the ability to make a choice and so i decided to ask bob who can calm and let our folks hear what he's offering in the race as well as the same imitation when two senator menendez senator menendez had been busy and he decided not to take the invitation and so it was just as you go to a grocery store there's more than one loaf of bread on the shelf more than one. brand of red and folks can make intelligent choices in the past they're also compatible erika's political system to a political plantation and says his community will not vote for someone who doesn't

have that best interests. reality is that this country is so divided and that some folks are just taking those at the bottom for granted and i think that that's all part of really a moral issue that has to be. challenged in this country we're not we're not just going to go and haul the lever for anyone or anybody who doesn't have the interests of our people at heart. another headline scientists are voicing their concern over research into genetically modifying insects to spread viruses pentagon project designed to protect crops is a theory hollywood horror movies have already got to grips with. if . you haven't just

released a transmissible virus you've released a disease the united states knows better than to return to a biological arms race the program may be widely perceived as an effort to develop biological agents for hostile purposes and a means of delivery which if true would constitute a breach of the biological weapons convention. now the insect allies project began in twenty sixteen it's aimed at protecting our culture but also includes developing a defensive response to threats introduced by states or non-state actors all the help of insects show bugs routinely spread viruses among plants recent genetic advances though could allow scientists to customize those viruses using modified insects the spark changes in target crops tomatoes or corn making them more resilient to drought or flooding scientists those say it's like opening

a pandora's box which once opened could lead to unpredictable consequences they suspect gene engineering could lead to unforseen mutations potentially making plants carcinogenic and the insects themselves could prove hard to control and there's the fear that it's a route towards biological warfare which is of course forbidden by the bottle chicle weapons convention scientists though behind the research say there's nothing to worry about. technologies dealing with food security and gene editing certainly do have a higher bar the most for transparency research ethics and regulating gauge men and i believe insect allies means that raced on that we reach a fundamentally new ways of delivering more precise efficacious treatments through systems that can be read lead up to to confront a range of potential threats it is very very rare for a single gene to create such a widespread result in the plant mostly these things like increased year old or resistance to disease they require many different genes working in coordination and

we don't yet speak the language of the genome so if they're claiming that this technology with a forty five million dollar budget over a few years will solve those problems they're either highly naive or they're hiding something obviously these genetically engineered insects could be used as biological weapons there's no doubt that if you create insects that can insert genetic constructs and change genetic expression they can be used as weapons what's also interesting is that even if it were not being used as weapons it's extremely dangerous enormously dangerous to even release these at this point they're already releasing them in greenhouses and if there was an earthquake or some kind of problem where they released we have no idea how they might actually reproduce and propagate in the gene pool changing the nature of our ecology perhaps

forever. ok let's go back to our top story now thousands are protesting across france against him on old reforms in paris clashes have erupted between demonstrators and police these are live pictures from the french capital we're showing you now where students labor unions and pensioners have now gathered quite a large a row. police presence there. appears to be some sort of smoke falling through the street gas canister or tear gas perhaps and we are staying cross the story shot at the correspondent who's on the ground at some of those protests as well she will regress live updates a little bit later from charlotte in the next hour or so. discovering oil should be a chance to celebrate an economic boost and the creation of thousands of local jobs things have turned out not so well in the u.s.
