a man is clear they're brave because of the underwear the victim was wearing. the welcome just gone three pm here in moscow you're watching r t international our top story this hour the pentagon has filed its first ever full budget audit looking into spending on arms and personnel but while discrepancies have been discovered no exact figure has been given on how much money was unaccounted for the organizations top brass though doesn't sound too surprised. we never thought we were going to pass an audit everyone was betting against us that we wouldn't even do the audit. well the pennsic an audit kicked off last december uncovered two point seven trillion dollars in assets the cost of the whole process totaled four hundred thirteen million dollars but over a thousand orders from outside firms to examine hundreds of thousands of items

however only five out of twenty one departments to that actually manage to pass the test the army navy air force marines failed and i live a five hundred million dollars and needed to rectify problem through field by field it and he's kind of more pain takes up the story. a number of sections agencies divisions were given what they call disclaimers saying that they had multiple issues that needed to be fixed some of the things that stand out for example we've got fifty three million dollars worth of an installed missile motors that were listed as not working well the auditors discovered that actually these missile motors were functional the pentagon is notorious for wasteful spending of taxpayer money.

apparently unconcerned the deputy of defense the defense department came forward and said that they were not surprised that this was simply not a pass fail audit apparently at this point they are saying that this is simply showing what they already knew which was that there was a huge problem wasteful spending in the pentagon and now they are turning to the american taxpayers for more money to correct the problem of wasting money to begin with. reporting there are now crowds in the german city of chairman it's of given a hostile reception to angola merkel the german chancellor was visiting the city almost three months after migrants fatally stabbed a local prompting mass riots peter all of his more details. this demonstration one

of several that are taking place this group that's opting a satirical approach they tell me invoking the imagery of the third reich to symbolize what they see is angela merkel's reign they told me they're not happy that she's come here as a chemist's and it's a fact that it's taken her three months after the incident took place is to actually rife he had there was an attack here against our citizens she should have come here a long time ago she was has it since ninety showed up with massive police protection this is a show of cowardice from our chancellor the vitus folks and i took a long time for people to wake up she should have gone have a backside in games sooner and stepped down long ago she should have quit everything after the elections in has say in bavaria ten percent of her voters tend away from her her regime is allowing her to hang on to power by her fingernails device guns get out you know exactly why she's not welcome here to try to wait

until things have calmed down instead of face and the music there for that's why she took a quarter of her year to grace us with her presence she knows no one wants her hear what angela merkel is doing she's selling out your own nation we have compassion to doze for really came from a war people who who escaped from a war will never harm anybody now that not the country in late august thirty five year old cuban german man was stomped to death after a confrontation in the early hours of the morning following an one thousand celebration that starving to death resulted in demonstrations and the far right groups that came out on to the streets and the violence that we saw erupt then was was

. does is what happened there started people and i get it it costs right when demonstrations and in general people have the right to protest but this doesn't justify using national socialist radical symbols nevertheless i understand it is over the migrant issue not only that but in a broader sounds and there are also problems of cross border crime and even drug smuggling these are all questions that we should discuss naturally as shouts of mirco must very curtain must go be ringing out from the crowds here where she is going to go she said to step down as chancellor and twenty twenty one she's already about to relinquish the leadership of her party the christian democratic union but for these people here in camp it's her legacy as the person that opened up germany's borders to refugees that you'll be most remembered in their opinion reviled for the troll a variety. by prosecutors do seem to be preparing charges

for judeans songe a copy and paste error has revealed that u.s. authorities are still seeking to bring the wiki leaks founder to justice the nature of the charges though and whether they've actually been filed does remain unclear a reference to the case though. does occur apparently by mistake as part of a number lighted court filing. the complaint supporting affidavit would need to remain sealed until saunders arrested in connection with the charges in the criminal complaint and could therefore no longer evade or avoid a wrist and extradition in this matter well sanjay has been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london since two thousand and twelve flast year a sex assault investigation into history in national was shelved by swedish authorities however he still faces arrest in the u.k. for breaking bail terms he's an equally wanted man in the united states where he is being extradited u.s. authorities have previously sought to bring his sons to justice for leaking details

of operations in iraq and afghanistan back in twenty ten that same year two wiki leaks also released hundreds of thousands of classified diplomatic cables and in twenty seventeen the group published the largest leak in cia history exposing the agency's cyber to among other things human assigned his lawyers have called the possible indictment a dangerous precedent. the notion that federal criminal charges could be broad based on the publication of truthful information is an incredibly dangerous precedent to set the u.s. indictment over sirens agree violation of press freedoms obviously when wiki leaks broke into the international consciousness about eight years ago we had a lot of allies in the international media and worked particular closely with organizations such as the washington post the new york times and the guardian newspaper in the u.k. then there seem to be a lot of infighting and these all the legacy media outlets started turning on on julian songe so the question is why are they not protecting one of their own today

not realize that if they don't protect one of their own they would be equally vulnerable under these sort of laws and i think that's something that the legacy media in the west needs to really seriously think about either we have press freedom for all we have press freedom for none. well let's go to someone the legacy media has no problem standing up for jim acosta of c.n.n. has just had his white house pass temporarily restored it was revoked following donald trump's now infamous press conference after the midterm elections during which acosta allegedly assaulted in india or not depending on what side you're on but in case you missed it his party boy. donald trump cnn's jim acosta missed it sometimes everyone's the bad guy. the orange one and c.n.n. the mom at the white house really going to press conference posed a real dilemma how do you pick sides when they're acting like overgrown sportsmen

to support a call say you've got to ignore the fact that he was attempting to lecture the commander in chief while trying to take over a press conference to get behind trump you'd have to ignore that he called a journalist and an enemy of the people and he's trying. ultimately you know everyone decided it had been a bad day for roll lessons were learned than they line was rolling on to the whole story. just kidding the white house threw a female into an on the front. seat at the high rate of bond acosta from the white house accusing him of placing his hand on the internet and so c.n.n. is now suing them well here it is the whole disgusting horrifying headline grabbing right thing video in full i'm going to herschel are you worried i should not start to disclose that show don't ask one of the other folks that stood up for me ma'am on misfortunate that's enough was frozen ride one of you don't need to go i mean on on the russian investigators are we looking at the video. that's it just look at

the outrage in the room from these numbers grow witnesses. this guy is so horrified it doesn't even the whole police and the foreign find see he may not be real and we talk about. this woman that is so shocked by the group of thought she distracts us self by cleaning out one of her own and this young lady just learned them with this or she's going to put i'm told i'm not told by the way she goes look up possible the white house rose out and makes dreamy questionable accusation about a nonevent the global media and all those online on the list takes the bait. so the nation's not talking about stuff that actually maxes anymore turns out the politics of distraction really does what you know my god what is that. polly boyko there now

a rape trial has sparked outrage in ireland after the defense used a controversial argument concerning consent to win the case and see it your can explains now why hundreds of women took to the streets and posted images of their underwear on social media. to what extent does what you wear send a message especially a message that you wouldn't mind meeting someone or better even having sex with them would be all right with you and does a lazy thongs for that message loud and clear than a regular old pair of granny panties or is it not up to a piece of cloth to express consent for a woman a recent court case in ireland has fired up this conversation after a pair of underwear was presented as evidence at a rape trial in the city of cork a twenty seven year old man was accused of rape by a seventeen year old woman he said she had consented she said she didn't the man's lawyer had a one point use the woman's choice of underwear as proof of her intent that's the

evidence of the possibility that she was attracted to the defendant and was open to meetin someone and being with someone you have to look at the way she was dressed she was wearing a thong with a lace front the defendant was unanimously acquitted by the jury protesters took to the streets in several irish cities over the lawyers stunt demanding an end to victim blaming and courts but. the whole long as you're a up in public in protest as well as police did on the steps of the courthouse where the trial took place can send cannot come from clothing it can't come from a piece of material it can only come from the parents and the outrage reached the irish parliament to be seen recently close faked even contraception being used to discredit women who have to break free to go to course women around the world are posting photographs of their underwear online as part of a campaign dubbed this is not consent my sexy underwear my plunging neckline my

cheered skirt my tight jeans none of them is concerned you know what is me saying yes it should never be most shameful to be raped and to be a rapist no means no. and. so to come this hour the united nations has warned the brics it could actually push more british people into poverty that is among the stories got coming up just after the break. you know world's big partners do things a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to

stop slamming the door on the 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. with lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final. lift certainly the one percent. we can all middle of the room.

welcome back to wate now the u.s. is engaged in fighting terror around the world and washington is also active in yemen supporting the saudis in their fight against the hey things however with al qaeda now also targeting the opposition lines between allies and enemies are becoming blurred is downhole kids reports. yemen suffering only started making headlines with the civil war in twenty fifteen but the country's been coming under u.s. bombardments for far longer sixteen years in fact in modern history only the afghan war has lost that longer and part of the reasoning in both cases is fighting al qaida we're going to continue to work with the yemeni government to try to identify a q a p leadership and operations try to thwart them the conflict shows no sign of abating and the u.s. is fighting on more than one front washington backs the saudi led coalition and its battle against rebels in the country and here is where it gets complicated al qaida

terrorists are now reportedly partnered up with some militias and funded by the u.s. backed coalition al qaida leaders even brag about it. all parties to this conflict know for certain about our participation we're fighting alongside our muslim brothers in yemen or help them with weapons and everything we can. unraveling the resulting melee distinguishing fighters from fanatics is all but impossible and apparently the fight against who three rebels is a great recruiting sergeant for al qaeda and for growing their arms and revenue streams creating a vicious cycle that doesn't seem to have a logical conclusion nevertheless the saudis and americans insist they are committed to fighting terrorism in the country drone strikes have long been the weapon of choice and since there's little official data on the specifics of casualties from such operations i still rely on data from other sources latest figures estimate a third of those killed in twenty eighteen were pro-government forces those

actually fighting for the coalition or civilians. so let's see how this is a picture of the car after the strike they were looking for the boy when the strike happened it was a drew midsomer that killed them weaponized al qaeda to fight strategic enemies may have paid dividends on the ground but yemen's long term future remains bleak to say the least. elements of the us military are clearly aware that much of what the u.s. is doing in yemen is aiding the q.a.p. and there is much anger about that however supporting u.a.e. in the kingdom of saudi arabia against what the us fuse is reigning expansionism takes priority over battling e.q. a.p. and even stabilizing yemen it seems washington has its proteas clearly set and

collateral damage and truly eradicating al qaeda are not top of that list. un official has accused the british government inflicting misery on the country's poorest people through stare at him policies. poverty is really a major challenge in the united kingdom what i've found in my discussions with ministers. is basically a state of denial. they are happy with the way in which their policies are playing out and i think that sort of punitive approach to benefits is actually inconsistent in fact breaks it is going to make that worse because those in the lower income levels are really going to suffer one in five brits live in poverty and over a million people cannot afford basic essential was the report by the un property on poverty and human rights adds that child poverty could hit forty percent within

a few years the u.k. government though says it is across the problem. we are absolutely committed to helping people improve their lives while providing the right support for those who need it. well the author of food bank briton ray woolford has concerns about the statistics released in that un report. why in twenty thousand people are literally starving to death not just in india not just in yemen not just in kashmir but also here in london one of the richest capitals on the planet why isn't this story is not number one on the b.b.c. number one on i.t.v. poverty one in five that's twenty percent of the population are in poverty so poverty is an issue we all need to be addressing and all political parties are responsible why is it with one in five people in poverty in this in the u.k. not one political party has a minister dedicated to eradicate poverty and that in itself is

a scandal that poverty is not being addressed it's not being seen as having any value and the reality is too many people are making money out of poverty. now thousands of workers are protesting today in france over high petrol prices we can go live actually to our correspondent charlayne devinsky is following developments in paris for us good afternoon charlotte just just run through them what is happening in the capital right now. well hi andy i don't know if you can still hear our signal from paris here but just take a look around me this is one of the protests that's going on across france today and it's believed there are up to around one thousand five hundred to two thousand protests taking place people commit own to the streets under the guise of a name schools the yellow vests the idea is that they hit to protest against the high price of petrol of gasoline here in france which they say has raised by more

than twenty percent in the last year they say for people who live in the countryside that is incredibly difficult because it means these people rely on their cause they don't rely on public transport because perhaps services aren't so great so for those people they're being taxed far too much as far as they concerned they're also concerned about the high cost of living standards here in france and say that there is a massive massive gap between what people in rural areas live on compared to what's happening perhaps with the governing elite in areas like paris just take a look at these protesters they're holding what they say is a peaceful protest they've been here holding their placards calling for the resignation over president and as you can see that the police have formed a barrier to stop these protesters from moving anywhere food they've essentially been hemmed in here now over the last hour or so we've seen people trying to just

peacefully make their way through couldn't by the police officers the police officers not allowing them to pass from this point this is one of a couple of protests here in paris as i said up to two thousand demonstrations expected to be taking place across france today and we've had figures from the ministry of the interior that suggest fifty thousand people are out on the streets today other think is putting it as high as a hundred and twenty eight thousand people. yes telling us they're unhappy with the current policies of this government they're unhappy with the fact that the president doesn't listen to the concerns of people here in france and they're hoping that this day of action this day of protests will make president macron and his ministers stand up take notice and perhaps listen and change tack people here say they're angry and they will keep protesting until the president listens all reverses his policies. ok thank you shot of the upstate that was shouted basically

for us there live in paris. the mexican state of chapel low cause drinking huge amounts of coca-cola but not because they want to taste the feeling rather the soft drink is actually easier to get hold of and clean drinking water a mess getting people hooked with dire consequences for their health. this state has failed to provide safe drinking water so coca-cola like any company is

taking advantage of a gap. people need water or something else to drink so good call a. good call is an offering for daily work and a no for into god. in indigenous cultures these posh liquor which has always been the favorite. colors on this. if someone has no money they can use the soft drinks a form of currency. does could cure people oh yes drinking coca-cola will take everything bad out of your body it will. previously it was estimated that thirty percent of the indigenous population

consumed soft drinks now it's fifty percent. one of the big consequence of time disease is that people come to the hospital or none of them are bastardy and. i haven't had my regular check on the moon since december and that was when they detected the sugar disease. in san cristoval and the surrounding municipalities water is not drink the water is not providing. that's how things are looking so fast that i hear an ati don't forget that you can also keep yourself updated on a social media pages and you chad. thanks

guys are financial survival guide. customers go buy you reduce the price. to now well reduce some lower. that's undercutting but what's good for the market it's not good for the global economy. dallas. i mean the dollar value is what i believe. we got carried away here we care the music with us.

with a dry jr. by you that's going to get really. do not go away it will not die quite. real the hard work we do is the. comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents yes so climate change is reshaping our country and our lives as we speak and we're quickly learning that climate change doesn't just mean oh i'm it

it's raining again i'm good i'm going to show child of almost getting wet when i run for the front. door to the hoover i called them from the over to the temperature control office i know for a lot of the world climate change means showing people where your house used to be so it's great to see that this week the mainstream media has extensively covered the fact that california is on fire they have they have actually covered it they just can't bring themselves to say the words climate change you know instead the reports are like there were five years and they were bad and what caused them is they were bred. as most reporters take for example n.b.c. nightly news now it's a it's a great new you can find a finer news program and anywhere in the building where they take. this past sunday they open the broadcast with five full minutes on multiple

california fires the destruction the loss of life and yet throughout the entire report they couldn't find the words climate change or global warming or even simply we're thinking they just quit it got caught in their throats they were like clark clank clank blue police. car dash year was good. here take a listen to the color crash and cause most of the fires but take a look and let's see how long it takes for n.b.c. nightly news to say something stupid this is n.b.c. nightly news with kate snow. good evening they are wildfires for california's history books hold on there. about those history books they're going to have to start being shorter and shorter because the thousand year fires are quickly becoming the five year fires saying these fires are one for the history books.
