made the first many people all very unhappy they're very angry with all the seas of the michael saying that they will form city's mean passing on the reforms the expects to pass on to destroy the fabric of french society this is what some of the protesters to be telling us somerset something we are outraged revolted by what he says about a population hardship it proves he doesn't know his country properly improves above all existing in what he says america. is like the bankers chief he compromised with workers over his shoulders of the employers he also goes against retirees like me and the general public. since we returned our pension has not stopped shrinking i'm really mad in my work to. most of the other things that people have been talking about a on the streets how they think the president is out to touch reality and how he puts his thoughts in a twenty two members of the public he's been described many times of being the

president of the rich but some of the things that have hurt the people here cause them and get some of the comments he's made over the last few weeks including telling the unemployed god look if you just crossed the street he would be able to get a job in a bar or cafe in one of the things he said in the last week was a pensioner when he suggested they should take at least much of the book of the founder of the french public the general to go in and just don't complaining this is what he said it's. just keep the room sort of general shoulder 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 what is clear is that the people who come out to the streets here in paris and of course france great to be on a happy with the my presidency and they want to do everything to ensure that their voices are heard will lose voices be heard well it's not sure that the protests that have launched michael's presents. it's the last seventeen months so he doesn't

seem to have taken any new just a new changed schools he says he is carrying out the manifesto that he was elected on but the people here say they will just still have to change course and to me show that you can speak on t.v. . self-styled anti-fascist activists have caused outrage in the u.s. city of portland oregon after they blocked traffic and attacked cars and a protest against police brutality came up and has more 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 do you ever. meet your guys or marry the one you gave her with. 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 whim or since it in motional 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 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 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 search the saudi consulate in istanbul on tuesday as outrage grows over the suspected murder of a journalist there last week came out c.c.t.v. footage emerged of jamal kushal the entering the consulate just before he vanished the saudi journalist has not been seen since and there's nothing to indicate that he ever left the building took a story some suggested that a hit squad may have been sent from the kingdom to murder the dissident reporter riyadh has strongly denied the allegations fifty nine year old left saudi arabia for the u.s. last year he wrote for the washington post and had his own column critical of the saudi regime because shogi was visiting the consulate to obtain wedding documents donald trump says that he will question riyadh on kushal his whereabouts. president putin. i have no. but i will be.

at some point where you know if i knew nothing right now i know what everybody else knows. well the u.s. secretary of state has also commented on a car show his disappearance might says officials are talking to the saudis about the disturbing incident but many are questioning why it took him a week to issue a statement. it's nearly a week it's ween i'm his first reports of this disappearance and that statement from secretary pompei oh are you assuming that taking time to put out a statement means that the state department has not been doing anything is that your assumption of what was the state department doing for the state department was engaged to at the highest levels and also at the working level and having conversations with saudi government officials and i'll leave it up thank you and so what was the reason that behind that delay in statement i mean i wouldn't i wouldn't call it a delay why has not secretary pompei of said that if the reports are true and the saudis our allies turn out to be cold blooded killers that there will be

repercussions we're going to wait until the facts come out and we call again for a thorough and transparent investigation or be repercussion again let me say this one more time i'll leave it at that i mean i don't have anything more for you on this today thass i must say this i don't have anything more for you on this today i don't have anything more for you and when i do i would be happy to give it to you executive director of the ron paul peace institute told us that the u.s. president has to tread carefully in order not to alienate a key partner in the middle east president is in a very delicate and precarious situation because on the one hand he's tired his mass to a degree to moderate and solomon to the crown prince of saudi arabia so he's going to go over there and he's going to start accusing them of murdering cautionary that he's going to fight his his middle east policy in a shambles so here's in a very delicate situation i think it really underscores the toxicity of the u.s.

saudi relationships which we actually see being unraveled as was. u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley is stepping down after eighteen months in the role artie's washington correspondents america comments. well nikki haley thanked trump for the honor of a lifetime serving as ambassador trump accepted her resignation and said that he'd announce her successor in a matter of two to three weeks and he also hopes that she'll come back to serve the administration in a different capacity let's check out what they both had to say she told me probably six months ago she said you know maybe at the end of the year the end of a two year period at the end of the year 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 that 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 you want to. ask her until the end of this year so i'll just have to see who replaces her in this highly coveted position. syria's president bashar al assad has offered amnesty to military disorders and those who have fled the country to avoid the draft the hope is to encourage syrians to return home on the understanding that they won't be punished for avoiding serving in the army russia's foreign minister has welcomed them of. the privilege 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

eighth year president. 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 think tank focusing on syria and the middle east told us that the offer of amnesty is a step in the right direction. of the refugees for example in neighboring countries. and so on has 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 a way to go back to syria without having to deal with all sorts of legal. or you know with the fear of somebody throwing the book taking the. syrian state

is using the tools at its disposal to make headway in terms of the. progress and. the investigative journalism group. that has identified the second suspect in the poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter. was at a 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 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 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 to present was that they said that they have. identified through social media.

who the man has been described as the second suspect in this case he was initially presented as alexander patrol belling cat 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 ten 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 recall 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 so they had to connect those dogs by trying to find after finding one person with the same details trying to find

a pos board 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 lived 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 announce their event so certainly quite a few of these questions despite all of the headlines that the. 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 u.k. 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 all sides of the media and what they would like is official channels to cooperate on this matter let's take a look we just couldn't stop. christiane of some of the mention. of the becomes you know close for months of course and then kind of that it's the most anybody stoneman dished out and figure which included and think that sort of goes to part of the kind i don't mean me me more i'm. jim boulden when you move your legs you're going to have constraints that no. you know he's going to give them credit of but us who instituted while these are 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 a 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. 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. it is far from the first gender

related controversy in schools last year a british teacher was suspended after he accidently called a transgender pupil a girl while praising school work then at edinburgh university in scotland student union officials handed out pronoun badges to help transgender freshers with either the word he she or they are written on them. or my colleague daniel hawkins debated the issue with human rights campaigner peter tatchell and journalist john gardner what do you make of the way the teachers handle this incident and separated the students during a drill now if this has not been a drill if it had been a real live incident of a terrorist attack upon that school i fear 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 a tool whether we like it or not accept trans women as if they're real women trans not be 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 they know they are in such a way i gree that the. debate should be aged in zero nine did research it john let me finish i didn't interrupt you i think 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 asked still why not give the person the dignity they deserve treat them with the way that we want to be respected you know

we are all like look to people who are actually called our nation is no maybe getting there on everything that you have a lot of a lot during your i believe that the your radical militant extremists men in dresses need to be stopped and they need to come down. firefighters in the spanish city of volunteer disrupted an annual parade on tuesday in protest over their working conditions and ended up scuffling with police. i. residents had gathered to mark of the day of the indian community and celebrates the wreath at the contacts 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 perhaps being party boys making some mistakes this is pretty serious there isn't and it's not the first time this pair have made headlines as a yeah definitely you talk 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 thanks. i. should not be doing even if this is not you know if it's outside of the of the pitch. according to what's 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 it's absolutely no chance that they will scape any sort of punishment from that or both players. have yet to comment on the incident if found guilty they

could face up to two years in prison. and that does it for me headlines in about thirty one minutes sayah will be back stay with us and start international. politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to. have to go on to be press was like the full story in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. or city hall. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of

the world of politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see that. many of them. this is crude oil. so they need to actually physically hold it out of the ground he would have well well well well well well well well. there's a lot of money with your oil and with that comes. a lot of a lot of people from all over the country. if you don't make a hundred thousand dollars a year. as a minimum there's an issue. here in the. they were all sixty dollars a day hard work for oil workers not these.
