military incursion in yemen very humanitarian crisis is being severely was. promoting itself as a nursery school with. any. writer wednesday world like news headlines international now just off to noon here in moscow welcome to the program. french left wing opposition leader. has denounced his country's government during a raid on his party's premises the raid was officially conducted in connection with allegations of misuse of e.u. funds the. resistance by his supporters claimed it was in fact politically motivated. right.

we are not traffickers we don't do anything like that outside the law how can we be treated like this one hundred officers against us this morning of course this is a political police nothing whatsoever to do with the national police went home was also raided stream the operation live on facebook where he has more than one million followers. don't touch me mister you don't have the right to touch me nobody touches me my persona is secret i'm an m.p. don't frighten me we have not stolen anything honest this is the leader of french left wing political party is only as police raided his home to officers arrived early in the morning and rifled through his belongings the leader of france also means broke new ground on social media as he would cost in the regular life as offices searched the party headquarters and his home he to nurse the raids

politically motivated do you feel you may not be the new government has been to show you the shame of the premises of one of this country's main opposition parties . he even went as far as pointing the blame squarely at president. when you go through my computer you know very well what you are doing something dishonest and twisted. described the raids as a coup de force saying no being used as a scare tactic against his party to intimidate them so why did the raids take place militia harsh critic of man is accused of employing assistants in fake jobs while he was an m.e.p. in the european parliament a charge also leveled at another political rival marine le pen he's also being investigated over the expenditure of his presidential campaign against not.

anastasiya he says the searches were based on trumped up evidence he's now calling for the offices are not going to be raided alongside his new interior minister suggesting they had also irregularities in their campaign expenditure although mellon sean came fourth in the presidential election last year his party has been a thorn in my side france also miss raking in organizes and is involved in the trade union protests against forms and minshull is known as being a man of the people something much corn has struggled with. mel and sean has said his party will publish its poll accounts online in a bit to clear its name. ski altie paris

supporters of the left wing party chief came to protest what they called an attack on democracy. it is a political show folks it's an attempt to destabilize democratic opposition in our country i think we should take it very seriously it's great that so many people came here to show their support but also the shock i think the whole country was shocked to learn this news is a morning that. i learned the news and i saw it as an attack on our democracy so i thought i needed to be here. i don't think it has anything to do is justice but this is rather driven by some was very toxic and all healthy political motives. the french prime minister responded to the allegation of political motives saying that the public prosecutor had ordered the raid of his own volition and other countries justice system is independent while metal show is not the only opposition figure in france being investigated for misuse of e.u.

funds and other of course is marine le pen president of the national rally party she claims that there's a witch hunt on against opposition figures such as herself because of course some call for this issue ation is unacceptable this is a grave violation of national principles and of our democracy i'm probably being tapped into reasons for months and now the left wing those in power have now see the entirety of alex changes context now it's documents of the team main opposition parties of france i find it extremely serious macro is completely you must understand that it has been elected very very few people is it doesn't have a lot of electoral basis and so it's like a flight flight forward so you want to to show you wants to to shine responsibilities for instance today was nominated appointed a minister of the interior only does that don't have any confidence in the police

it is only a friend of a close friend of him we only blackmailed him saying if you don't appoint me i quit or quit all the other government. so it's a sign that he wants. to close friends and not with very professional of people and because he feels very threatened by the. other people and i think it would be. knows it would know a very bad witch of discontent in this country. the u.s. a secretary of state has just landed in turkey where he is meeting with the country's government to discuss the investigation into missing journalist jamal khashoggi his previous stop was saudi arabia where he was assured by riyadh which is implicated in the case of cooperation in the probe. they made a commitment to. anyone. to any wrongdoing that may be out of it

without whether they are secure officer official they promised accountability for each of those persons they determine as a result of their investigation. it just serves accountability the saudis are again strongly denied any knowledge of what happened to her after we visited their embassy in istanbul yesterday a nine hour turkish led search operation was conducted at the embassy access was finally granted fifteen days after the journalist was last seen and following the search for talk as president of the one side investigators were looking into the possibility that traces of toxic materials had been covered up by painting over. the missing journalist was last seen entering the consulate over two weeks ago and the case has attracted intense global media scrutiny. what happened to missing journalists from all cars shogi the disappearance of a saudi journalist the disappearance of jamal. who killed him all care shoji sniffing riders from all cars show. meanwhile actor mark ruffalo widely known for

his role as the hulk superhero says the saudis deserve condemnation for something other than the case is not alone in trying to refocus the debate how do you think president catastrophic warning that up to thirteen million people facing starvation if the war doesn't end soon that figure represents almost half of the entire yemeni population the u.n. has warned that we could see the worst famine in one hundred years with other aid agencies also raising the alarm. the numbers are very hard to grapple with thirteen million people on the brink of famine is one that should be compared to the entire population of countries we're almost. going to hear many. parents don't know when they send their children to school whether they'll come home or whether the bombs will hit the school almost every

aspect of the night for her going to affected by. this who would want to know how. i met some children recently with open wounds on their legs that they can afford to treat for him to be an army leader from now own eighty percent of the population this is a crisis that is entirely manmade and could have been avoided and could indeed be avoided if we saw some serious action from the parties to the conflicts and allies in the saudi led coalition including the u.s. the u.k. france germany and others on sunday an air raid hit many buses in the key yemeni port of a day killing at least fifteen civilians and injuring twenty that's according to the u.n. the fighters accuse the saudi led coalition of carrying out the attack. has recently become the most violent frontline in the three year long war in the country the saudi government says it will investigate reports of civilian deaths and advocacy

adviser on yemen as to say if i make it again told us that selling weapons to the warring parties is only one assuming the crisis we are seeing huge amount of duplicity from powerful countries countries like the u.k. in the us are consistently throwing money at the problem of this humanitarian crisis in yemen helping us reach people with food and water but meanwhile they're profiting from the sale of weapons that are perpetuating the war it seems to me that there are political interests at play. are overriding the entire trysts. yemeni people so. our question today is paris is jobs in the u.s. and u.k. more valuable to have family. in germany or can it often is under fire for promoting itself as a nursery school with quote hardly any migrants daycare center claims its message has been mis understood it has attracted criticism for other promotional initiatives as well as explains when hunting for a daycare center for your children what tops the list great teaching good cadmus

not missed it well how about hardly any migrants one can see gotten in the wealthy town of hamburg promoted just leaving some parents moved to fight in a promotional price they highlighted the following. of the families with the migrant bank ground only a few take care they've since deleted the sentence deleted one sentence that accurately describes the fact that there are only a few families with a migration background the kindergarten few families does not mean no families at all the kindergarten also insisted it stands for inclusion and this is equally a pencil children of german origin and families with a migration background but that's not the kindergartens only statements but true criticism it outs that the financial situation of parents living in the kindergartens area is excellent but large number of parents pursue self employed activity such as lawyers doctors organizational consultants brokers business owners

the backlash was quick to follow. yeah enough money you can do as much stay decades in until you have them let the stupid play mingle with you these are the nazis in the guise of clean pure democrats should lead in mosques itself with an immigrant free daycare center and the villa neighborhood a socially leads we decided to say what jim and think about the issue as a mother i would not accept it i mean you should. and you could use other ways to attract people it's a wrong thing to do because if you don't know each other you can't live together you can only understand each other when you grow up together from the earliest moment people will have international meet people from all of the table and so i think it's really really important it's already young people get to know your different cultures different ways of living and so on today it's also parents favor

a multicultural society when it comes to words on the children this does bring attention to the proportion of needs of nationals in the schools and so forth so there might be discrepancy between what they say or do our daughter was in the kindergarten for spanish germans and so there were a lot of nations that you know nations and germans together and they spoke spanish and german and that can their gods will shoot on both richardson came about everyone wants the best for their children but whether the best means having known my current classmates and why the school should be bragging about this is another matter altogether and i'll say. they have americans have expressed outrage over what they see as the politically motivated hijacking of their identity by senator elizabeth warren she took a d.n.a. test to rebuke donald trump. and.

being a native american has been tart my story i guess since the day i was born we have a representative in congress who they say was here a long time ago she of the great tribal heritage what tribe let me think about. the color pocahontas i've got more indian blood in me. oh god just how would you tell. me a severed heads look like chopped if you take the test of the church you're. c.s.c. . with warren releasing results of a d.n.a.

test showing she has very distant native american ancestry the reports suggest one has just a trace of native american heritage d.n.a. test prove white woman white woman the people flashing light of this revelation really did land her and the point do you think that the president is elizabeth warren a million dollars a little more i would make sure that when i walk out pay me what you owe me. the problem with the d.n.a. test is that it proves nothing of relevance the op to be respected in terms of what it means for example to be a chair he. can say whatever he wants of. any order to try to get. the american students were.

so regular every day sane people the argument about well who's a percentage of this race and their race is naturally important people are just worried about how am i going to get to work every day you know my car is broken down i need to have a job to begin with you know i want to be out to have a secure life for myself i want to have food to eat a nice place to stay there were to bow basic tangible things that people have to have every single day but sort of frames extremist that are out there the far left to far right is a maybe. it's in the media it is your you pour it because that's already. plenty more of the program still to come here on r.t. international we are back in just a minute. but

politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. somehow want. to be close it's like the for three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the water.

joining us if you went to their stories a rights group amnesty international has released a damning report on the quote deep denial of britain in the u.s. led coalition over civilian casualties during the ice in the syrian city of raka. the u.k. ministry of defense still maintains its hundreds of a strikes in record resulted in zero civilian casualties a statistical improbability it is completely reprehensible that the coalition refuses to acknowledge its role in most of the civilian casualties it cools down since the coalition campaign against eisold in syria and iraq began in two thousand and fourteen the u.k. has carried out some seven hundred s. strikes two hundred fifteen of them on the city of raka alone earlier this year britain's defense ministry admitted responsibility for just

a single civilian death and some british m.p.'s agree with amnesty international that the u.k. authorities appear to be in denial. during a strike to engage three diet fighters a civilian motorbike crossed into the strike area at the last moment and it was assessed that one civilian was unintentionally killed the government's assertion is part of a wider strategy of denial around the consequences of britain's military campaign in syria and iraq britain's defense ministry told us that the u.k. has provided details on each of their seventeen hundred strikes including operational briefings and confirmed when there was a civilian casualty and added that missions are carefully planned and aimed at minimizing the effect on civilians adding that it would prefer to have been involved in the research of amnesty international and we discussed how the whole scenario with political commentator jonathan shafi is part of our general strategy to cover up in some we people over that keynes of civilian casualties that are

caused by u.k. action this is of course something beyond the situation in iraq are we here do the same the iraq war we had the same abode in afghanistan as well we hear over and over again that the stakes are meticulous strategic using the best technology that money can buy but in the end it's dropping bombs and explosives on dangerously populated civilian locations the language that's used it and us meticulous you often hear it as well of course famously or infamously collateral damage in fact these are real people and if you read the reports coming out of iraq or there's a real anger in the we civilians that have been cheated not least because there's not even an undertaking to have an investigation into how these theories were taken police. thousands of people have taken to the streets of barcelona demanding freedom for two jailed cattle and leaders on the one year anniversary of their imprisonment the two man were found guilty of sedition following the cattle on

independence referendum last year that attention was later prolong after they were also found guilty. of inciting violence in the region so protests outside of boston loner as well in the city of bell around two thousand protesters gathered calling for the release of leaders. so britain's house of commons has been branded a dysfunctional workplace this in an inquiry carried out by a former high court judge the report says bullying and harassment of staffan thriving they're encouraged by a so called a coverup and denial culture the house of commons executive board says efforts to improve the situation have already been undertaken. some areas of the house very described as having

a particularly bad reputation for sexist or resist attitudes in banter or non tad that or a dysfunctional management or a match or culture in which women in particular are not welcome. in interest in and just coming right from the top we have outstanding allegations directly against the speaker who is going to be one of the people considering the report. the change in culture has to come from the top and i no longer believe that the speaker john bercow is the correct person to provide that leadership so he should

step down. to earth. guy. and i just about wraps up the program for this hour here on r.t. international plenty more stories for you on this wednesday if you can join us at the top of the. join me every thursday on the air. simon chill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics school business i'm show business i'll see you then. you know world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up

to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. news in the world. number one. total around. the world not even the. oh you ought to go to. d.c. to move for you. don't

have faith in this government official of president i don't have faith in the system i swear i've got it so i'm too liberal the system designed for people like me to move. as long as there's. different people who are here for different reasons also job we also have. most people in philadelphia are all. ballot two paychecks away from homelessness. pranking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as

a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive truck people who rushed to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to. this beautiful story ended with pollution and of a station a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down so much they lost their jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. it's a tough reality to deal with. oh and welcome to crossfire all things considered i'm peter lavelle after repeated

denials the saudis are now expected to change their story on the fate of. see the victim of abduction and torture that went too far donald trump house expressed concern but little more some are saying riyadh could get away with murder. cross talking a saudi crisis i'm joined by my guest charmaine on the in beirut she is a journalist as well as a middle east geo political expert in tehran we have mohammad marandi he's a professor at the university of tran and in washington we have ali ahmed he is the founder and director of the institute of gulf affairs all right crosstalk. that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate mohamed let me go to you first into round with a hypothetical let's say there's a hypothetical dissident against the iranian government living abroad and goes to a rainy and consulate and never comes out what kind of news story with

that i'd be what would their reaction be because living in russia i can tell you russia gets accused of things and sanctions are done before we could even finish a program here so what would your reaction to my hypothetical situation be go ahead moment well it's obvious the we would be probably discussing the un security council meeting that would be taking place to condemn iran or perhaps almost any other country in the world but when it comes to saudi arabia the double standards are extraordinary in fact what i would what i think is even the biggest question in fact is that. the saudis have been killing hundreds of thousands of people in yemen through starvation and disease and tens of thousands of people through warfare they've bombed weddings the schools the funerals they've bombed the

hospitals they bombed the buses just again i think yesterday or the couple a while back they they buy another bus and there's seventeen people were killed and there's no.
