a man is cleared of right after the court is told that the accuser was wearing provocative under way. they're just gone for pm here in moscow he watching the international nationwide mass protests are underway in france at the moment amid anger over high petrol prices we go live now to the french capital. covering developments in paris good afternoon again just let us know then what is the situation like there at the moment. while we're here in the back part of paris where a small demonstration is taking place have a look you'll see some of the people behind me some of them are wearing these yellow vests now the point in that is because this protest is being described as. all the yellow vests this is a movement of people who want to come out together to show how unhappy they are with the policies. com particularly about the increase in fuel prices that we've

seen over the last year or so here in france people saying some fuel have gone up by more than twenty percent in that time you know it may look as if it's a bit thin on the ground here but one of the reasons we've been told that this is the fact the protesters who want to join this particular blockage have been stopped from getting to this place take a look of a going to see that the police arrive to enforce their here stopping the protesters from moving at all and we told him that blocks like that are being put in place by the police across paris and elsewhere in the country to stop more protest is coming to a point like this to make their voices heard we understand though that across france up to two thousand demonstrations like this is taking place with over a hundred and twenty thousand people taking place this taking part this is what they've been telling us why they're unhappy with the price of fuel the price of

living here in france and president macron. has an impact the price of these little spikes you know is no longer profitable for us i know you're surely they are i'm here to support the yellow vest movement we've had enough here too many taxes this country i would say that today we are led by vermin and it's sad to see the country taking this direction. to live. better prices never stop rising it's the straw this broken the camel's back mccrone his buddies just like those before him ascending things from bad to worse they all score opinion once every five years and then we suffer we suffer we were given a choice between the plague and cholera we chose the plague but we see clearly that he's no better than the others they don't care they have chauffeurs they don't pay for petrol there are other ways to raise money how about trying the rich. well some breaking news here at this protest i was telling you there about the fact that more people wanted to join and they were being blocked by. the police i could

actually get here in the last few seconds as you can see a new convoy of people has arrived at this particular protest in the past the beeping their horns showing their support for the fact that they are not happy with the politics of president mark on the president michael has been in power for over a year and a half now and he has spare you could many times about the process that are taking place in particular in the last week he spoke about these protests and this is what he had to say. i hear the young man is a fundamental right in our society to be allowed to express it but i'm wary because many people are trying to piggyback on this movement. well even more support no food this particular protest in the past the leiria of paris now across france also said around she thousand protesters more than a hundred twenty eight thousand people said to be taking part there is some news coming out from some of those are the protests though we understand that one person

died in one of those protests it appears that the interior ministry said that it was a mother and daughter were in a call they were surrounded by the protesters they were on their way to the doctor they got a bit scared and just understand that it's a process that was killed in an accident we also know that around forty seven other people have been injured in the protests across france including a number of those who are said to be in a serious condition the moment it looks like the supporters arrive the anger is rising and these protesters are absolutely determined that they voices are going to be heard at least at this time by president michel. ok thank you charlotte that was showing to be there for us with the best from parish. on other news the softening the pentagon has filed its first ever full audit looking into spending on personnel while discrepant. these have been discovered

that exact figure has been given on how much money was unaccounted for your organization is top brass though aren't all that surprised we never thought we were going to pass an audit everyone was betting against us that we wouldn't even do the audit and second 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 or more than a thousand auditor's from outside firms to examine hundreds of thousands of items however only five after twenty one departments manage to pass the army navy air force marines all failed and now more than half a billion dollars in needed apparently to rectify problems revealed by the checks with more his. a number of sections agency's 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. now u.s. prosecutors have paid to be true in up charges for cheating in asuncion a copy and paste error as revealed in st authorities are seeking to bring that we can expand it to justice the nature of the charges and whether they've actually been filed remains unclear although a reference to the case of curtis apparently by mistake as part of an unrelated court filing. the complaint supporting our food they would need to remain food all the tools saunders arrested in connection with the charges in the criminal complaint and could therefore no longer evade or void a wrist and extradition in this matter well it's been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london since two thousand and twelve last year a sex assault investigation into the international was shelved by swedish authorities however he still faces arrest in the u.k. for breaking bail terms he's an equally wanted man to you in the united states to

where he fears being extradited u.s. authorities have previously sought to bring in silence justice for leaking details of operations in iraq and also afghanistan back in twenty ten same year we can leaks also released hundreds of thousands of classified diplomatic cables and then in twenty seventeen the group published the largest leak in cia history exposing the agency's cyber to was among other things you know assigned his lawyers have called the possible indictment 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 us 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 particularly 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 all the 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 or now to someone the legacy media has no problem standing up for jim acosta of c.n.n. just has. these white house passed temporarily restored it was you might remember a. press conference after those midterm elections during which alleged. or not depending on what side you're on in case you missed it. don't know c.n.n.'s jim acosta missed it sometimes everyone's the bad guy. the orange one. at the white house really going to press conference posed

a real dilemma how do you pick sides when they're acting like overgrown supposed to support a call to say you've got to nor 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 equal the challenge and enemy of the people and. ultimately you know everyone decided it had. lessons were learned and a line was drawn to the whole story. just the white house through a female into the front. seat at the high rate of bond acosta from the white house using him i'm placing a hand on me to see him and is now suing well here it is the whole disgusting horrifying headline grabbing thing video well i'm going to show you worried i should know better than that so don't ask one of the other folks that's me ma'am i

mean that's enough for the present right one of you don't want to go i mean on the russia investigation are we looking at the right video. just look at the outrage in the room for these numbers bro witnesses. this guy is so horrified who doesn't even though all the police in the far find see he may not be real and. this woman is so shocked by the group of thought she distracts us self by cleaning out one of her own and this. young lady wrote them with their or she might on her laptop either way she tells. possible the white house rose out an extremely questionable accusation about aig the global media and all those online analysts take the bait. examinations not talking about stuff that actually matters anymore turns out the politics of distraction really does what you know my god what

is that which. party boy over there now a rape trial has sparked outrage in ireland after the defense used a controversial argument concerning concerned to win the case. can explain 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 even having sex with them would be all right with you and there's a lazy thought on spread that message loud and clear that 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 meeting 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. me. 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 the same recently clothes. 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 short 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 no means. and if they see churkin r.t. . he thanks the company the softer news still ahead few wreckage has been found almost a year to the day since an argentine submarine disappeared without trace we've got the details coming up.

thank. you so. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. get it right to be close this is what the four three of the more people. interested in the why is it. thanks it.

again the wreckage of an argentinian submarine which went missing a year ago with forty four crew on board has been located in the atlantic relatives of the crew have gathered to mourn and pay tribute to their loved ones the son of one disappeared four hundred kilometers off the argentine coast on the fifteenth of november last year just before contact was lost it was reported there was an electrical breakdown rescue efforts were halted after two weeks of efforts were considered in for a. u.n. official has accused the british government of inflicting misery on the country's poorest people through its territory policies over the is really a major challenge in the united kingdom. what i've found in my discussions with ministers. is basically a state of denial. happy with the way in which their policies are playing out and i

think that sort of punitive approach to benefits is only 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 is proper to on poverty and human rights adds that child poverty could actually hit forty percent within a few years' time but the u.k. government does say 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 the author of the book food bank britain ray woolford has concerns about the statistics released in the un report. a 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. no one political party has a minister dedicated to iraq to kate 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. meanwhile public health phase has been expressed in one mexican state over the vast amounts of coca-cola being drunk there but it has nothing to do with an addiction to the fizzy drink but simply because it's a much easier to get hold off and water. this

state has failed to provide safe drinking water so coca-cola like any company is taking advantage of a gap filler to want or or something else to drink so google. google isn't offering for daily work. and the no friend to god. in indigenous cultures these posh liquor which has always been the favored ritual during. color

is on the same level. if someone has no money they can use the soft drinks a form of currency. does coca-cola 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 type of disease is that people come to the hospital or none of them are bastardy and die. i have had my regular check on them since december and that was when they detected the sugar disease.

in san cristoval and the surrounding municipalities water is not drinking water is not providing. it's just going to twenty possible here in moscow you washing out international thanks for company this afternoon was back again with more news and headlines at the top of the. fracking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here and make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a barrel truck so i chose to drive trucks people rushed to us. tom in north dakota was among the employment rate of zero percent just like the gold rush is very very similar to. this beautiful story and with pollution and devastation

doing the search cleaning his or still be some corny summed up. the money is what you call british mr blessed imo sure. they are it didn't happen this is the phrase that has become a mantra for many people as more and more people get involved in phish allies in the world around them is the story we tell ourselves about ourselves changing. nobody could see coming that false confessions would keep that profile in the spot

for the waist up wrongful conviction. and any interrogations out there what you'll see is promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most comfortable makes them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said therefore we are already said i stated that i would be home by that time the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with all the crime. fighters. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world with covering the world of business

united states the small increment of progress followed a volley of words between vice president mike pence and the chinese foreign ministry on u.s. negotiating priorities including intellectual property almost as soon as the long demanded proposal was received u.s. officials sent word and media comments that the offer was only repackaged previous suggestions and did not address the agenda outlined by the vice president will stay tuned for the next episode of the depressing diplomatic drama. the u.s. food and drug administration or f.d.a. has tabled two major proposal to regulate products that deliver nicotine to users the f.d.a. today unveiled a long expected proposal to regulate nicotine vaporing devices once touted as a means of reducing harm to smokers so-called vapors are now blamed for introducing young people who would not have tried cigarettes to nicotine resulting in more not
