will demonstrate being held around paris. you know of course when a child a dubious case has been gauging the mood. we've come here to the seans elisei only to have a look up here pushing much all the way from here to almost plus to go on the road has been blocked by many people wearing those yellow vests she crowds coming together to block off this major artery of paris and it looked at one point like a sea of yellow vests walking down the streets we take a look towards the uk to trilby can see that the traffic has been halted in some parts there as well more people in yellow vests out there head to make their voices heard and they certainly are having an impact in this part of paris

us. hey if this is a movement of people who want to come out together to show how unhappy they are with the policies of my competent keeley about the increase in the few places that we've seen over the last year or so here in france people saying some fuels have gone up by more than twenty percent in that time 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. they take our money every day we have small salaries we can make ends meet by the end of the month the degree on the money it's the

government's fault they put laws in place that forced us to buy new car but need money to buy a new car overtaxed pensioners can barely survive. good rises never stop rising it's the street is broken the comes back in. buddies just like those before him ascending things from. they all scorpion you know once every five years and then we suffer we suffer 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 question mark owen 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 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 one 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 you know piers that the interior ministry said that it was a mother and daughter were in a car they were surrounded by the protesters they were on their way to the doctor they got a bit scared and just understand that a protester 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 arrived 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 might go on. the pentagon has failed its first ever full audit looked into spending on personnel

but what discrepancies have been discovered no exact figures been given on how much money was unaccounted for. meanwhile that's priced we never thought we were going to post and everyone was betting against us that we wouldn't even do the audit. the pentagon audit kicked off last december scuppered two point seven trillion dollars worth of assets the cost of the entire process totaled four hundred thirteen million dollars one thousand orders from outside firms examined hundreds of thousands of items however only five out of twenty one departments moneys to pass the army navy air force marines they all failed and now more than half a billion dollars are needed to rectify problems revealed by the checks to explain or he's killing more people. 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 uninstalled 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. u.s. prosecutors appear to be drawing up charges julian assange the copy and paste error has revealed authorities are seeking to bring the wiki leaks founder to justice the nature of the charges and whether they've actually been filed remains unclear reference to the case because partly by mistake as part of an unrelated court filing the complaint supporting affidavit would need to remain sealed until someone has a receipt in connection with the charges in the criminal complaint and could therefore evade or avoid a wrist and extrusion in this matter. songes been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london says twenty twelve last year a sex assault investigation into the australian national was shelved by swedish authorities but he still faces arrest in the u.k. for breaking bail terms he's an equally wanted man in the us to where he fears being extradited. u.s.

authorities have previously sought to bring a sauce to justice for leaking details of operations in iraq and afghanistan back in two thousand and ten that same year wiki leaks also released hundreds of thousands of classified diplomatic cables and in twenty seventy the group published the largest leak in cia history and expose the agency's cyber tools among other things during the songes 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 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

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. now for somebody the legacy media has no problem standing up for jim acosta of c.n.n. you just heard his white house pass temporarily restored it was revoked falling down troops now infamous news conference after the midterm elections during which of course are allegedly assaulted and into or not depending on which side you look at in case you missed it here's part of. donald trump cnn's jim acosta. sometimes everyone's the bad guy. the orange one and c.n.n. is the white house calling it a press conference those a real dilemma how do you look sides when they're acting like overgrown. to

support a cause that you've got to nor the fact that he was attempting to lecture the commander in chief while trying to take over a press. to get behind trump you'd have to ignore that he called a journalist and enemy of the people and he's trying. ultimately you know everyone decided it had been a bad day for all lessons were learned that and a line was drawn under the whole sorry affair. just kidding the white house through a female in town on the on. the highway to bomb the costa from the white house using him and placing a hand on me to see a man is now suing well here it is the whole disgusting horrifying headline grabbing right thing video well you know who are you worried i should know that sort of person that said i asked one of the other folks that said. this was me that's enough was present right one of you don't need to go i may ask you on on the russia investigation are we looking at the right video. just look at the outrage in

the room from these from the row witnesses. this guy is so horrified you doesn't even all believe in the horrifying see he may not be real and we talk about. this but man is so shocked by the growth on c distracts us self by cleaning out one of her own and this young lady turned to him with this or should i tell my laptop by the way she. looks for the white house rose out and makes dreamy questionable accusation about. the global media and all those online on the list take the bait. to the nation's not talking about stuff that actually. turns out the politics of distraction really does what oh my god what is that.

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 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. 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 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 if they see churkin art. wreckage has been found almost a year to the day since the knowledge of time submarine disappeared without trace of any details after this break.

a major challenge in the united kingdom what i've found in my discussions with ministers. is basically a state of denial and they are happy with the way in which their policies are playing out and i think that sort of punitive approach to benefits is utterly 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 over a million people can't afford basic essentials the report by the un poverty human rights and child poverty could hit forty percent within a few years but the u.k. government says it's across the problem. we are absolutely committed to helping people improve their lives while providing the right support for those who need it author of food bank britain ray walford has his concerns about the statistics 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 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. public health fairs have been expressed in a mexican state over the vast amounts of coca cola being drunk but it's got nothing
