i. think the police tear gas french protesters blocking roads and protests over fuel prices one hundred demonstrators are detained well over two hundred to reject. they take their money their rigs have small so it's for can make ends meet by the end of the month. but the strength of the group can become drawing his buddies just like those before him ascending. fails its first ever load it with hundreds of millions of dollars now needed to fix

the problems revealed. demonstrations take place across holland as the man is cleared of rape after the court is told that the accuser was wearing was provocative on the way. leaving a welcome this is r.t. international. first the police have tear gas french demonstrate he says more than one hundred thousand came out to protest against fuel price hikes over two hundred people were injured in the clashes with offices during protests that took place right across the country six of the injured are in critical condition these are how the rallies unfolded.

live. these pictures from paris where protesters block the roads causing major traffic jams several demonstrations are being held in the french capital on the issue more than one hundred people have been detained you know correspondent has been gauging the mood. we've come here to the show only to have a look up here pretty much all the way from here almost plus to go on the road has been blocked by many people wearing those yellow vests to 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 you can see that the traffic has been halted in some parts there as

well more people in yellow vests out there headed to make their voices heard and they certainly are having an impact in this part of paris. and if this is a movement of people who want to come out together to show how unhappy they are with the policies of calm particularly about the increase in the few places that we've seen over the last year here in france people saying some fuel has gone up by more than twenty percent in that time 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 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 for can make ends meet by the end of the month. it's the government's fault laws in place that force us to buy new car. but you need money to buy a car overtaxed pensioners can barely survive. rising at the center of this broken to come through in his buddies just like those before him ascending things. you know once every five years and then we saw this but they have showed. there are other ways to raise money trying to reach my goal 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 no 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 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 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 the moment it looks like the supporters arrived the anger is wising and these protesters absolutely determined that they voices are going to be heard at least at this time by president.

the pentagon has failed its first ever followed it slipped into spending on arms and personnel but while discrepancies have been discovered no exact figure is being given on how much money was unaccounted for. suppressed we never thought we were going to post an order that everyone was betting against us that we wouldn't even do the audit. well the pentagon what it kicked off last december uncovered two point seven trillion dollars of assets the cost of the entire process was four hundred thirteen million dollars. is begin to take people in the thousand orders as we called in from outside firms they examined hundreds of thousands of items however the five of twenty one departments managed to pass the army navy air force and marines they all failed and now moved off a billion dollars a need to rectify the problems revealed by those checks to explain all his killing more than. 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. u.s. prosecutors appear to be drawing up. charges for julian assange a copy and paste error revealed the authorities are seeking to bring the wiki leaks founder to justice the nature of those charges and whether they've actually been filed but remains unclear reference of the case occurs apparently by mistake because part of an 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 all of void or wrist and extradition in this matter. science has been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london since two thousand and twelve last year a sex assault investigation into the national was shelved by swedish authorities but he still faces arrest in the u.k.

for breaking bail terms as an equally wanted man in the us to where he fears being extradited united states authorities have previously sought to bring a science to justice for leaking details of operations in iraq and afghanistan back in twenty ten the same year wiki leaks released hundreds of thousands of classified diplomatic cables and then in twenty seventeen the group published the largest leak in cia history when they exposed 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 sirens 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. some of the legacy media has no problem standing up for jim acosta of c.n.n. who has just had his white house passed temporarily restored it was revoked it's now infamous news conference after the midterm elections joining which of course to allegedly assaulted an intern or not depending on which side you take in case you missed it here's party boy donald trump cnn's jim acosta missed it sometimes everyone's the bad guy. the orange one and the white

house quoting at a press conference posed a real dilemma how do you pick sides when they're acting like over great sports to support a cause 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 he called a 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 the mail in turn on the. highway to bomb the cost of from the white house using him and placing a hand on me to see a man 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. that should i ask 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 russian investigators are we looking at the right video. let's just look at the outrage in the room for these from the witnesses. this guy is so horrified you doesn't even all believe the far find see he may not be real and. this woman is so shocked by the growth on c destruct. selves by cleaning out one of her own and this young lady turned to him with this or she's going to put my children up till either way she goes look up possible the white house rose out and the dreamy questionable accusation about a nonevent the global media and all those online on the list takes the bait. for the nation's not talking about stuff that actually matches anymore turns out the politics of distraction really does what you know my god what is that. which.

officials accuse the british government of inflicting misery on the country's poorest people through austerity policies. poverty is really a major challenge in the united kingdom what i 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 and over a million people can't afford basic essentials a report by the un's rapporteur on poverty and human rights adds that child poverty because it forty percent within a few years 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
