9:04 am
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 happy with the politics of president mark on the president not going to be in power for over a year and a half and he has spoken many times about the process that is taking place in particular in the last week he spoke about these protests and this is what he had to say. i hear the anger and it's a fundamental right in our society to be allowed to express it but i'm wary because many different people trying to piggyback on this movement well even more support no food this particular protest in the past to leiria of paris now across france are said around two 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 other protests though we understand that one person died in one of those protests it appears that the interior ministry said that it
9:05 am
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 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 absolutely determined that they voices are going to be heard at least at this time by president. reports now from paris now the pentagon has failed its first ever full audit looked into spending on personnel but while discrepancies have been discovered no exact figure has been given on how much money was unaccounted for the organizations top brass meanwhile is not. we never thought we would go to post an audit everyone was
9:06 am
betting against us that we wouldn't even do the old it well the pentagon would it kicked off last december and cover two point seven trillion dollars in assets the cost of the whole process totaled four hundred thirteen million dollars more than a thousand dollar tis from outside examined hundreds of thousands of items however only five to twenty one department did manage to pass the army navy air force and also marines all failed and now more than half a billion dollars in needed apparently to rectify the problems for a field by the checks as more. 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
9:07 am
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 the. wasting money to

begin with. now u.s. prosecutors appear to be drawing up the charges for julian a son a copy and paste error has revealed authorities are seeking to bring the wiki leaks founder to justice the nature though of the charges and whether they've actually been filed for maine's unclear a reference to the cases occur apparently by mistake as part of an unrelated court filing. the complaint supporting a food they would need to remain fooled until saunders arrested in connection with the charges in the criminal complaint and could be a full moon or void a wrist and extradition in this matter what the charges been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london since twenty twelve last year a sex assault investigation into the australian national was shelved by swedish authorities however he still faces arrest in the u.k. for breaking bail terms and he's an equally wanted man in the united states to where he fears being extradited where u.s. authorities have previously sought to bring
9:09 am
a science to justice for leaking details of operations in iraq and afghanistan back in twenty ten that same year wiki 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 tools among other things during this time his lawyers though 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 sergeants agree violation of press freedoms obviously when wiki leaks broke into the international consciousness about eight years ago he has a lot of allies in the international media and works 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
9:10 am
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 ok well let's go to someone the legacy media has no problem standing up for the moment jim acosta of c.n.n. has just had his white house pass temporarily restored revokes you might remember following donald trump's now infamous press conference after those midterm elections during which he cost religiously assaulted and in turn or not depending on what side you're on in case you missed it his party boy donald trump c.n.n. has jim acosta. sometimes everyone's the bad guy. the orange one and the end of the white house calling it a press conference opposed a real dilemma how do you look sides when they're acting like overgrown. to
9:11 am
support a cause say you've got to ignore the fact that he was attempting to lecture the commander in chief whilst trying to take over a press. to get behind trump you'd have to ignore that he called a journalist and any of the people and he's trying. ultimately you know everyone decided it had been a bad day for all. lessons were learned and van de line was rolling on to the whole sorry affair just kidding the white house threw a female into an on the bus. the highway to bomb the costa from the white house accusing him of placing a hand on me in time so c.n.n. is now suing them well here it is the whole disgusting horrifying headline grabbing the video well you know who are you worried i should know better the president that's the national of the other folks that said no. this was me that's enough was frozen ride one of you know that i mean on on the russian investigators are we
9:12 am
looking at the video. was it just look at the outrage in the room from these some grow witnesses. this guy is so horrified you doesn't even the whole police the horrifying scene he may not be real can we talk about. this woman that is so shocked by the word both on c destructs a self by cleaning out one of her own and this young lady turned to him with this or she's thankful i told her not to tell either way she tells the cop possible the white house rose out and makes three me questionable accusation about a nonevent the global media and all those online on the list take the bait. so the nation's not talking about stuff that actually mark says that he will turns out the politics of distraction really does what you know my god what is that. much

. of that now a rape trial has sparked outrage in island after defense used a controversial argument concerning consent to win the case and situation explains why why hundreds of women took to the streets and posted images to 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 does a lazy thong spread that message louder 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
9:14 am
evidence of the possibility that she was attracted to the defendant and was open to meet and so one 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 in court but then i. think oh ok. the whole long as you're a open 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 i 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 close faked even contraception being used to discredit women who have the bravery to go to course women around the world are posting photographs of their underwear online as part of

9:18 am
out and i think that sort of punitive approach to burn of foods is utterly inconsistent in fact brakes it is going to make that worse because those in the lower income levels are really going to suffer while one in five brits live in poverty and over a million people cannot afford basic essentials the report by the un's reportorial on poverty and human rights adds that child poverty proper child poverty could actually hit forty percent within a few years but the u.k. government 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 or the author of food bank britain raible for it 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 supposedly it's 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 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. public health phase have been expressed in one mexican state over the vast amounts of coca cola being drunk there that it has nothing to do with an addiction to the fizzy drink but simply because it's so much easier to get hold of them water.

9:21 am
drink now color is on the same level. 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 with. previous week it was estimated that thirty percent of the indigenous population consumed soft drinks now it's fifty percent. one of the big consequence would have been diseases that people come to the hospital none of them are a massive eat and die. i have had my regular check on them since and that was when they detected the sugar to see.
