demonstrators later this hour we go live to the french capital. website claims it has identified the second suspect in the poisoning of formal double agent. his daughter russia rules out reacting to findings thrown out by various media outlets. and russian staff are in trouble for allegedly assaulting a government official in the. streets both incidents took place within just a few hours of each other. and i welcome to r.t. international live from moscow with me wherever you are at this hour. police and protesters have clashed in paris as thousands take to the streets against the range of unpopular reforms president. joining me now in paris is. the

scene of some of the clashes that charlotte a lot of. these these protests in paris what's going on there so far. at the moment we've got the protesters marching towards the end. but as you mentioned down there have been several clashes between the police and the protesters here protesters throwing project goes at the police the police monitoring this protest quite heavily it seems believe that's probably because the protests we saw back in may was so incredibly violent and the police do not want a repeat of those protests but so far we've seen. people throwing projectiles at the police the police have detained some of the protest is manhandling them and taking away i know all of that coups this distracting from people here are really protesting about they're protesting about. mcewan's policies and how they're

unhappy with this is that across the protest with retirees with workers with students who come out to the streets to say they're not happy with the reforms that government has passed in the last seventeen months or so and those he is determined to pass in the next few years of his presidency take a listen to some of the things that people have said that they own unhappy about. gods to make points presidency. and that's something we're outraged revolted by what he says about a population hardship it proves he doesn't know his country properly improved above all existing in what he says. yeah like the bankers. he compromised with workers orders of the employers he also goes against retirees like me and the general public. well as you can see the streets are incredibly busy thousands of people have come out to the streets to

make their protests even suggested it would be around fifteen thousand people who would have turned this protest. over to their estimates putting it in more like around three thousand and there is a big police presence out here one of the other things that people have said that they're incredibly unhappy about is the things that the people they feel that he's out of touch and he told an unemployed gardener i think weeks ago that if he just crossed the road he might be able to find a job in a bar or a cafe there's also been complaints about something he said to pensioners last week when he said she told them to stop complaining take a listen to this. subject keep the room some of general told me you can speak freely the only thing we don't have the right to do is complain because you would be different if everyone did the same. right art is shot at do live from the paris protests will get back to getting developments there from the french capital.

a controversial website that claims it's so identified the second suspect continued to be a major standstill in terms of figuring out a 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 and what had happened and in terms of these specific individuals that have been in the headlines recently. brett kavanaugh has been sworn in as a judge at the u.s. highest court after a deeply contentious nomination process brief f.b.i. investigation failed to find evidence to support smart's publicized sexual misconduct allegations against all of trump's top nominee protesters though still turned out with some focusing their anger on the white female voters who voiced their support for governor this is how a 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 in even minimizing violence indians' their own bodies betray the patriarchy in your whiteness won't save you this blood pact between white men and white women is an issue in the november midterms in fact several articles laid out the cabin are controversy as a fight against feminism again putting the blame on white female voters washington correspondents picks up the 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 putting letters to women who dare to think outside their gender public shaming 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 else . vote for anybody nobody you are a woman and you're never going to get it and it will be. so i guess. she scared me but 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 abducting people and it's all the 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 and i mean that's all we're seeing is a society of public shaming and blame going on there and spare a thought to four brought commoners namesakes who've been having a pretty tough time a vote online over the past few weeks although they've also at least some sympathy . would you say you've been to hill. i've been through hell and then some boy why this particular thread kavanagh is the world's worst celebrity spokesperson for

beer boys like beer girls like beer i like beer so there's temperament problems there 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. troy be sure it was the for the last two years post will controlling european impulse is over the phone. 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. in the way too prominent russian footballers face charges of attacking two men in a moscow cafe i'll have more details on that story just after this short break stay tuned to what you know i think that actually. good politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to.

get it right to be close it's like the. real the more people are. interested always in the water. thanks for joining us again here on r.t. international and to another keenly watched vote the fast approaching crucial midterm election in the u.s.

so incredibly close race every vote is being seen as a potential deal maker or deal breaker indeed for control of the senate the traditionally democrat supporting state of new jersey is drawing the focus though of the influential black past the seemingly threw his support behind the republican candidate the polls show there's very little between the two the embattled two term democratic senator robert menendez and republican challenger bob hugo and despite claims by man this past 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 hugo in the column and let our folks hear what he's offering in the race as well as the same limitation when to senator menendez senator menendez has 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 bread and folks can make intelligent choices in the past they're also compared america's political system to a political plantation he says his community will not vote for someone who doesn't have their best interests at heart 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 pull the lever for anyone or anybody who doesn't have the interests of our people at heart.

leading russian footballers of being investigated off the two people who are allegedly attacked in moscow within two hours of each other one a high ranking government official in a cafe or another man in the streets both victims were taken to hospital i discussed this earlier with our sports correspondent alex. 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 then it happened to be not just to footballers to star footballers 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 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 with a brain injury with a head injury they did not stop there after that brawl and we can see the video the man in the white hat is actually my according to eyewitness reports they went

further they went to a cafe in moscow and clashed 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 and confirm that all 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 now let's listen to what the russian sports minister had to say about that proposal to put the. victims have turned to the police there is video of the incident they cannot be any extenuating circumstances in this

situation this is unacceptable unsportsmanlike behavior that cast a shadow on all russian football is the words of five local of course are echoed in the reactions coming from the russian premier league and the both respective clubs senate st petersburg and cross the the russian premier league expresses its concern strongly condemns the who can be. 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 the 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 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 whether 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 was no and it's not the first time this pair have made headlines as 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. i. should not be doing even if this is not you know if it's outside of the of the pitch. according to was caught several times reckless driving in moscow his friendly was pictured in a softer set your 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 now are both players if i could call and have yet to comment to fish only incident if found guilty of any potential charges though they could face up to two years in prison. scientists are voicing their concern over research into genetically modifying insects to spread viruses it's a pentagon project designed to protect crops it's 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 their means of delivery which if true would constitute a breach of the biological weapons convention. the insect allies project began two

years ago it's aimed at protecting crops also though clues developing a defensive response through threats induced by state or non-state actors all of course with the help of insects now in nature bugs do spread viruses among plants recent research though now allows scientists to customize viruses by using modified insects to protect crops from drought or flooding scientists say it's like opening a pandora's box though once opened they said this could lead to unpredictable consequences they suspect this could lead to mutations potentially making plants carcinogenic and the insects could also prove hard to control there's a fear that it's a route towards biological warfare which is forbidden of course by various international conventions as scientists behind the research though 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 regulator engagement and

i believe insect allies meets that race standard we reach for 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 was 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. and discovering oil should be a chance to celebrate an economic boost on the creation of thousands of local jobs things of town sour though in the u.s. state of north dakota the new oil wealth there is being linked with drug abuse prostitution and domestic violence this wednesday on our table take an in-depth look at the story. it was very
