10:03 am
stopped from getting to this place take a look of a going to see that the police arrived in force they're 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 it's taking place with over a hundred and twenty thousand people 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 we're fed up they take our money we have small salaries you can make ends meet by the end of the month. it's the government's fault. that forced us to buy a new car. to buy a new car over. taxed pensioners can barely survive. better prices never stop

rising it's the stream of those broken to come true and his buddies just like those before him ascending things from bad to worse they'll score opinion once every five years and then we saw folks we saw focus on we were given the 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 that they were being blocked by the police and 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 happy with the politics of pressure mark on the president michael has been in power for over a year and a half now and he has spoken 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
10:05 am
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 are trying to piggyback on this movement well even more support now for this particular protest in the past the larry of paris now of course sponsors said around two thousand protesters more than a hundred twenty 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 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 i'm. number of those who were said to be in a serious condition the moment it looks like the supporters arrive the anger is
10:06 am
rising and these protesters are soon to be determined that they voices are going to be heard at least this time by president. charlotte been saying there now another news this evening the pentagon has failed its first ever full audit looked into spending on arms and also personnel but while discrepancies have been discovered no exact figure has been given on how much money was actually unaccounted for the organizations top brass meanwhile 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 pentagon audit kicked off last december uncovered two point seven trillion dollars in assets and the cost of the whole process called something like four hundred thirteen million dollars or more than a thousand order to is from outside firms examined hundreds of thousands of items
10:07 am
and only five out of twenty one departments actually managed to pass in fact the army navy air force and marines all failed more than half a billion dollars and needed to rectify the problem for a field by those checks with more his kind of march. 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.
10:08 am
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. u.s. prosecutors to pace me drawing up charges for judean a son a copy and paste error is revealed authorities are seeking to bring the we can leaks find to justice the nature of the charges and whether they've actually been filed remains unclear a reference that to the case does occur apparently by mistake as part of an
10:09 am
unrelated court filing. the complaint supporting affidavit would need to remain sealed until songes a rested in connection with the charges in the criminal complaint and could therefore no longer evade or void a wrist and extradition in this matter while a sound has 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 an equally wanted man in the united states to where he fears being extradited when u.s. authorities have previously sought to bring 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 lawyers have called the possible indictment
10:10 am
and 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 seemed 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 turn to someone that
10:11 am
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 you might remember following donald trump's now infamous press conference after those midterm elections during which a coster allegedly assaulted an intern or not depending on which side you're on when you missed it is pretty quick. donald trump cnn's jim acosta missed it sometimes everyone's the bad guy. the orange one and he enters mom at the white house quoting at a press conference pose a real die lemme how do you pick sides when they're acting like overgrown supposed to support a call to say you've got to be 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 to that and any of the people and he's trying. ultimately though everyone decided it had been
10:12 am
a bad day for roll lessons were learned than they line was drawn on to the whole sorry affair just 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 to c.n.n. is now suing them well here it is the whole disgusting horrifying headline grabbing right thing video and well you know who are you worried i should know better than that show don't ask one of the other folks that stood up for me ma'am this was me that's enough was frozen ride one of you don't need to go i mean you're on on the russia investigation are we looking at the video. let's just look at the outrage in the room from these some grow witnesses. this guy is so horrified it doesn't even the whole police and the horrifying see he may not be real and we talked about. this woman is so shocked by the words but thought she distracts ourselves by
10:13 am
cleaning out one of her. and this young lady turned to him with this or she's going to put my tongue up till i the way she does not look up close for 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. examinations not talking about stuff that actually mark says that he will turns out the politics of distraction really does what oh my god what is that. watch. the boy cave there now a rape trial has sparked outrage in ireland after the french used a controversial argument concerning consent to win the case and situation rix plains ny why hundreds of women took to the streets and posted images to their
10:14 am
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 that even having sex with them would be all right with you and there's a lazy thought on spread that message loud or unclear 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
10:15 am
the streets in several irish cities over the lawyers stunt demanding an end to victim blaming in court 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 bravery to go to court. 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 means no. it's this it sure can art.
10:16 am
so to come this hour wreckage has been found almost a year to the day since an argentine submarine disappeared without trace we'll have the details just after the break. this reserve bank enables a cup doxie yes this is at the center of america's descent into financial armageddon yes can you blame the fed for such things as the infrastructure collapse across america the ecological collapse and sabu going to california wildfires and hurricanes across the nation and then busted pipes in detroit leading to arsenic poisoning and lead yes yes you can because they give money to the bad people.
10:17 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic to follow only closely and going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. to. though again the wreckage of an argentinian submarine that 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 they are
10:18 am
a sound one just a paid four hundred kilometers off the argentine coast on the fifteenth of november last year just before contact was lost it was reported to have an electrical breakdown rescue teams had abandoned search efforts after two weeks. a un official has accused the british government of inflicting misery on the country's poorest people through stereotype policies poverty is really a major challenge in the united kingdom what i've found in my discussions with minister. 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 burn of foods 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 or one in five brits live in poverty and over
10:19 am
a million people cannot afford basic essentials the report by the u.n. property on poverty and human rights adds that child poverty could 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 . well the author of food bank britain ray woolford has concerns about the statistics released in the un report. why in twenty eighteen 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.
10:20 am
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. meanwhile public health fairs 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 and water. thank you.
10:21 am
mean here melissa this state has failed to provide safe drinking water so coca-cola like any company is taking advantage of a gap needs to be felt people need water or something else to drink so coca-cola comes in. it. could call as an offering for daily work and enough ring to god. in indigenous cultures the use pushed liquor which has always been the favorite ritual drink now colors 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.
10:22 am
previously it was estimated that thirty percent of the population consumed soft drinks now it's fifty percent. one of the big consequence slips out of disease is that people come to the hospital none of them are bastardy and. i haven't had my regular check up since december and that was when they detected the sugar disease. i mean in san cristoval and the surrounding municipalities water is not drinking water is not providing. ok well before we go quick reminder of our breaking news this hour because the
10:23 am
reports coming out of russia's southern republic of chechnya that a female suicide bomber has blown herself up near a checkpoint in the capital grozny that's according to the interior minister there are no reports though of anyone else being killed or injured we'll have more details for you next hour you're watching international. blushes and i think she should be chico to hold more than the bleach he cut the whole cost for the team you'll be set it's not that it's indeed some chances that always she's going against. what i'm going to.
10:24 am
be able to build you know circle included. a little bit i was going to have. to show. us what in the south korea is or still be. the mummy of the british mr west imo show your. pics or it didn't happen this is the phrase that has become a mantra for many people as more and more people get involved in visualizing the world around them is the story we tell ourselves about ourselves changing.
10:25 am
it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active. in the nineteen seventies current intel had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company develops a little mite drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy and it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything paul. you know she said she's just. mimics a little mind victims have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that not only want the money i want the revenge.
10:26 am
10:27 am
imax kaiser this is the kaiser a for the show that takes you into a house of mirrors or is it. cissie we look like each other but this is actually kind of a mirror reflection of the last episode because we were in the last episode we talked about general electric g.e. and all the share buybacks which did not save that company from well right now it looks like bankruptcy but of course the democrats in the house could rescue it but here is a tweet that shows big u.s. companies spent more money on buying back shares than they did on capital expenditures in the first half of twenty eighteen the last time that happened for two straight quarters was just before the crisis according to this chart from deutsche bank's thorsten stock there you go these are the share buybacks and that's the stock price and we look like we could be in for another crash crash
10:28 am
exactly well. a few points there number one share buybacks used to be illegal why for this very reason just hollows the company out it's like debt monetization by government was the u.s. is also engaged but is kind of like that mt is ation for a corporation which follows a corporation and then a corporation collapses number two this is obviously why there's only for structure because companies that are in the infrastructure business are buying back their own stock instead of building infrastructure number three were they get all this cheap money to buy back their own stock oh they're going to from the federal reserve bank oh wow even if there is a bank unable to contact or see yes is at the center of america's descent into financial armageddon yes can you blame the fed for such things as the infrastructure collapse across america the ecological collapse having california wildfires and hurricanes across the nation and i'm busted pipes in detroit leading
10:29 am
arsenic poisoning in lead yes yes you can because they give money to the bad people because the bad people have leverage in a club doctor says. there is that but importantly all of that started in the last episode we pointed out that general electric shares had an all time high in two thousand just as bill clinton exited and left behind the destruction of glass steagall and the introduction of the commodities futures modernization act so all those that hyper financialization and the extraction of all the wealth and the looting of the nation and the wealth that have been created over the previous generations was possible only once you know clinton gave that as a gift for all of his you know exiting treasury secretaries and other officials who then went on to work for the same firms that engaged analysts financial engineering so from two thousand we've seen that you know their total destruction of the wealth
10:30 am
creation machine in this country and you also see the decline in average wages really start to drop off then from then on the wealth and income gap really take off as all the wealth extraction you you know the stock markets have become a tool for wealth extraction not wealth creation that it used to be so they extracted all the wealth and who owns all the shares but the top ten percent but especially the top one percent of the population and they extract all the wealth and all those people who are working at these companies have to work for a wage if you don't hold these assets that have now become like a carcass to be picked then you're going to be a sucker like one of these useless class as they're now being called a lawyer bring up an interesting point there on a subtle distinction can be made between money printing and financial engineering which for the most part means. exaggerating or expanding the ability to borrow
