clashes erupted between police and protesters in paris as thousands gathered to express their anger over president micron's social reforms. u.s. city of portland is hit by turmoil as self-styled anti-fascist activist voices are heard will lose but he says well it's not sure the protests that have launched michael's presidency over the last seventeen months so he doesn't seem to have taken any new just a new change who he says he is carrying out the manifesto that he was elected on but the people here say they will still have to change course and to me show that

you can speak on t.v. . will self styled anti-fascist activists have caused outrage in the u.s. city of portland oregon after they blocked traffic and attacked cars on a protest against police brutality and he's kind of a mop and comments things got rowdy in downtown portland now it was in the aftermath of a vigil for an african-american man who had been killed by police officers now the vigil itself was peaceful but afterwards protesters poured into the streets and things got intense people described the scene as chaos random people in cars driving by were harassed by the protesters let's take a look at some of the video that came out of the incident in downtown portland. ted cruz the senator from texas was simply having dinner with his wife he was in

a restaurant and soon he was surrounded by left wing activists who are furious about the the situation regarding brett kavanaugh a controversial supreme court justice who has just confirmed now of the protesters interrupted him this took place in september and after the incident took place there was actually a threatening tweet that was made on social media let's take a look at what happened to ted cruz and his wife as they were just trying to enjoy their dinner at a washington d.c. restaurant. the. other guys are married. candace owens she's an activist with the conservative organization known as turning point usa she was confronted by protesters after she was simply trying to have breakfast in her hotel the protesters were confronting her and did not approve of some of the statements that she had made on social media this is what went down when candace owens was

just trying to enjoy her everyday life. there's. seems to be an extreme polarization in the country between those who support donald trump and those who oppose him and it seems that this division is being asked to late it was some taking it well beyond arguments and to physical confrontations. former texas republican official john griffin believes that there is a significant and growing partisan divide in the country this is a mob rule mentality and this is what has been encouraged by democrat leaders and it's certainly not consistent with the democratic process the democrats have ceased being able to defend their own ideas. in fact many of them don't know what those

ideas are they change from minute to minute from second to second depending on whatever women or sense of emotional outrage they feel and this is stoked and fanned by people who know better in washington and it's very dangerous there are people like me and others who are engaging in community a form of community pushback with forums and with models of civil dialogue and that is a trend i would like to see encouraged modeling what civil discourse looks like again for the younger generations i don't care how a controversy old a subjective term someone's views may be they're a u.s. senator they should be given at least their space. turkish investigators were granted permission to i want to take a little time off i would like a little girl you know i'm not running for twenty twenty and i can promise you what

i'll be doing is campaigning for this one so i look forward to supporting the president in the next election so thank you nikki haley has been embassador to the u.n. since january of two thousand and seventeen and she leaves at a very inopportune time just as disagreements are brewing between trump and other world leaders and this was made obvious at this year's u.n. general assembly when world leaders laughed at trump during his speech and even then haley tried to defend him in less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. america hears so true. i. didn't expect their reaction but that's. when he said that they love how honest he is and it's not difficult magic and they find it funny i mean when he goes and he is very truthful they kind of are taken back by it now

for something to think about on monday a government watchdog called for an investigation into whether or not nikki haley violated federal ethics regulations by accepting free private flights this was acknowledged by nikki haley in her twenty seventeen public financial disclosures as saying that she was friends with the c.e.o.'s of those private jet companies that's what everyone's talking about so it looks like she'll be serving as u.n. ambassador until the end of this year so we'll just have to see who replaces her in this highly coveted position. the syrian president has made an amnesty offer to deserve years in the country amid fears of a prison term for dodging military service the syrian at reconciliation ministry says it expects tens of thousands to accept the amnesty russia's foreign minister called it a positive move. this is a step towards national reconciliation creating acceptable conditions for refugees

who want to come back to syria and internally displaced citizens we actively encourage this commitment by the syrian leadership the syrian war is now in its year president assad's up forces have retaken most of the country with province in the north being the only major rebel stronghold left roughly six million people have fled the country since two thousand and eleven the director of a frank tank focusing on syria and the middle east told us of the offer of amnesty is a step in the right direction. circles of the refugees for example in neighboring countries . have been actually asking and demanding with the president. it came out today has deserved this from the army. but still it's a very good step in the right direction to. give confidence to those refugees who are looking for we go back to syria.

or you know with the fear of somebody throwing the book i think in the forty's for syria. to. disposable to make headway in terms of the. progress in the. investigative journalism group. it has identified the second suspect in the poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter. was at the news conference they held in london earlier and breaks down the latest allegations which have been dismissed as speculation by moscow not only has this whole story been creating diplomatic rows of course as we've seen unraveling throughout the last couple of months but certainly in our hmong journalists here on the ground following this conference where these latest revelations that had to present had unraveled where journalists were confronting each other about opinions and certainly quite a media frenzy about these latest announcements and in terms of what specifically

resigns was that they said that they have identified through social media. who the man who has been described as the second suspect in this case he was initially presented as alexander petrov say his real name is alexander miskin they see he is a medical doctor who was recruited by the g.r.u. before two thousand and three and was taken to moscow by the year twenty two. they say he was involved in visiting ukraine and in terms of identifying who they were there were quite a few loopholes and certainly lots of questions here from journalists follow ups to what they had to say one of the things that were curious is they said. their first so-called you reka moment as they describe it was when the name alexander came into the spotlight and then they tried to find a man who was born on the same day and the same name but of course you know that is a very very very common name in russia so they had to connect those dogs by trying

to find after finding one person with the same details trying to find a possible word photo or some kind of i.d. they said that basically when they did find something according to bell and katz they couldn't really see exactly where they hit lock but we did get a copy of the document they said that this man had been honored with hero of russia by the president putin himself however when it was asked for some kind of proof of this they talked about some kind of granny who lived in the village where this character was supposedly living and one person they had found via social media had told told them that this granny had showed the entire village where she lives a photo of this man being granted that honor by the russian president and when asked whether or not they were actually at least able to directly contact her they said she had vanished when they announced their events so certainly quite

a few of these questions despite all of the headlines that these allegations have been making the russian embassy here in the u.k. have said that they have essentially been told by the foreign office that this is all part of freedom of public debate and that the government does not comment and we've also heard from official moscow say that they are essentially at this point tired of any leaks and speculations being made on the old sides of the media and what they would like is. official channels to cooperate on this matter let's take a look at those close to. kristen of some of them and show. them but it turns you know quiet for a month or so and i'm kind of them it's them almost anybody stoneman dished out i think it was complete of instinct that sort of goes to part of some kind i don't see me and many more of them. jim boulden many million less going to critique for no. abuse you know he's given credit of the brits who instituted while these

journalistic of 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 and what had happened and in terms of these specific individuals that have been in the headlines recently. there are calls for u.s. school to be charged with emotional abuse after it separated a transgender student during a shooter drill because it could not decide whether to send her to the boys or girls locker room there has been a massive backlash to the incident quoting from l g b t rights groups during an event that prepares children to survive an attack by actual assailants she was treated as if she was so much of a danger to peers that she was left exposed and vulnerable school authorities are

pledging to review all protocols and procedures to make sure all children are treated with dignity and respect in the future. but it is far from the first gender related controversy in schools last year a british teacher was suspended after he accidently called a transgender people a girl while praising a school work event at edinburgh university in scotland student union officials handed out pronoun badges to help transgender freshers with either the word he she or they were written on them. earlier my colleague daniel hawkins debated the issue with human rights campaigner peter tatchell and journalist john got it's a fight about to go go to you first what do you make of the way the teachers handle this incident and separated these students during now if this had not been a drill if it had been a real live incident of a terrorist attack upon that school i feel here that as the teachers debated with

the trans people where to place them. the baptism for was the discussion. were ended up with they would have all been exposed and could have all been potentially killed everybody eases treading on eggshells around this subject so you're probably correct that the school was worried they would get accused of transphobia old whatever they want to call it this way the main thing is in this kind of situation get the kids to a safe place you know this is just a trans people again trying to dominate social policy trying to change the world into their way of thinking it doesn't have to be segregated to boys and girls that's not necessary just get the kids whatever and whatever their sexuality get them to a safe place protect the kids that comes first the most important thing is that we understand and accept the right of trans people to live their lives with dignity respect and with out living in fear the whole idea of equality is that we all have

equality what is happening at the moment which is that militant trans all around the globe is they trying to dominate the agenda on every single subject they're trying to make usual whether we like it or not accept trans women as if they're real women translate the needs to calm it down a bit the militant ones anger and perhaps even extremism is the cry of downtrodden oppressed suffering people that they lash out because they have suffered so much so i think that any other in such a way. i agree that the debate should be age done in zero nine john let me finish i didn't interrupt you i thought the debate should be conducted in civil terms gender is about much more than physical bodily appendages it's about genes. it's also going to new evidence about brain structures

but some people preacher do not believe and do not agree with that and some people say this gender nonsense. why not give the person the dignity they deserve treat them with the way that we want to be respected you know we all like look to people who are actually called our nation it's not me getting there are not written it down you have a lot of a lot. i believe that the all radical militant extremists men in dresses need to be stopped and they need to come down. to a leading russian footballers are being investigated after two people were allegedly attacked in moscow within two hours of each other one high ranking government official in a cafe and another man in the street both victims were taken to hospital artie's it down hawkins discussed this earlier with our core spondon in sports show ski and 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 other spot on my from quest 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. you know the man in the white hat is actually my if according to eyewitness reports they went further they went to a cafe in 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 with injuries so you know

indefensible actions and it's really really not looking good for these two footballers after this you know may have been central moscow and what's the reaction to incident been obviously a lot of details coming up confirm a lot of them from various news channel saying there's now another incident on a train and you know all the speculation. this is really stirred some heavy controversy as in 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 but because of 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 the casts a shadow on all russian football the words of five local of course are echoed in their reactions coming from the russian premier league and the both respective clubs senate st petersburg and cross that the russian premier league expresses its concern strongly condemns the 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 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 him. 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 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. i. should not be doing even if this not you know if it's outside of the of the pitch. according to was caught several times reckless driving in moscow his friendly 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 absolutely no chance that they will scape any sort of punishment from that. are both players and koren have yet to comment on the incident if found guilty they could face up to two years in prison. and that doesn't mean i'll be back in let's say thirty two minutes with a look at news the start international stay with us.

i've been saying the numbers. they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to the rich six percent markets thirty percent year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember in one one show or to miss the one and only.

greetings in salutation. many times spiting for what's morally right in the face of institutional corruption can feel very much like a mouse spotting a gorilla while standing alone in a field of official complacency for a small group of vigilant citizens in north carolina this is ben bare truth since first discovering their home states connection to the central intelligence agency's torture program and deciding to take a stand against it. they formed the ten member north carolina commission of inquiry on torture because while presidents george w. bush defended it barack obama moved on from within our own congress sat on it this brave group of citizens appalled by what was being done in their name shows to investigate the cia's torture program and its connection to their home state and

now unlike their own senator republican richard burr the chairman of the senate intelligence committee who still to this day refuses to fully release his own committing committee's findings on torture the north carolina citizens commission have released their in an eighty two page report titled torture flights north carolina's role in the cia rendition and torture program the report finds that local aeronautical company aero contractors transported at least forty nine individuals were forcibly seized without any due process in a matter that itself amounted to torture and cruel inhuman or degrading treatment preparation for rendition involved physical and sometimes even sexual assault drugging and sensory deprivation rendition flights were experience of experiences of prolonged pain dread and terror when the officials we count on for justice continue to fail us i think it's time we start fighting back.
