project goes towards the security forces the security forces of also now started using shoot water cannons. as you can see the war cannons are trying to push down this party this be made by the protests since they're all throwing assy rulebooks towards the police and i think she picking up what looks like to be the stones from the ride and throwing it towards them. grabbing a bit of difficulty opening my eyes right now and that's because we've just been in the midst of all of this take us as you can see eyes red is really hard to open them and at the moment we are just a burning uncontrollably. the police are coming we're having to move not because we're all being pushed up the streets into the two gotten to protest this it really is absolutely crazy here on the streets of paris the protesters throwing

projectiles literally taking out some old. stones from the ground throwing them at the police have also been throwing trees cabinets literally anything that they can get their hands on look at this here they've overturned some sort of truck as a barricade korogocho straits this is eight days of protests now and it looks like these protests is not giving up here complete chaos here on the streets of paris as you live your lives take over the shows and he's a hero to put the. i hope. you can see some of purchases of now barricaded themselves in this part of the show and silesia a this tear gas that looks like it's been fired up towards the protesters trying to make as much noise as possible possibly to make themselves heard in nearly say palace which is about a hundred fifty meters away from where we are. thanks

this is a road just off the arc de triomphe and as you can see here we've got some of the stooges they've become infamous in paris of late they're burning here this is one of the barricades have been put in place we're actually being shouted out by a protester right you have telling us to not show people's faces and that's because there has been suggestion that this movement has been hijacked by radicalized individuals from the left and from the right and they woundings ahead of this protest in paris that it was going to get hot and it seems that those warnings are absolutely right it was not just all just fuel protests in protest against the cost of living and living standards here for months but it just seems that people now

all puti angry at the situation and the fact that the president is still refused to meet them to discuss the problems in this country things feeling a lot calmer here than they have throughout the last few hours in paris this is just in is that eight thousand people are protesting in paris today as part of this a yellow best movement well here only shows eliezer we're still hearing what sounds like to be by the sound good aides altie again hours of being released we know and you can see the flashing lights of the police the police and security services are surrounding all of the areas. of course trying to keep some sort of control on this process. shot it been reporting from the streets of paris today now the british government is funding a large secret network to control political and public opinion about alleged malign russian activities at least that's according to documents leaked by hacker group anonymous because done off as more details. secret it's funded from the federal

budget and it seeks to property and manipulate foreign governments no matter how far they are for all it's worth program integrity initiative sounds like a brainchild of russian intelligence especially given all the recent hype and hysteria around it except it isn't it's british at least according to a hacker group called anonymous which has published what it claims are classified documents from the u.k. foreign office through a london based and the u.k. government has allegedly been working with opinion makers all across europe to promote anti russian narratives an effective network is best achieved by forming in each european country a cluster of well informed people from the political military academic journalistic and think tanks fears who track and analyze examples of this information in their country and inform decision makers and other interested parties about what is happening in clusters the key instrument of integrity initiative and a fairly powerful one as proven by the spanish cluster which has shown how the

program gets things done back in twenty seventeen the u.k. seemed surprisingly concerned with events playing out in spain's catalonia and london's keenness to see russia's hand in that bid for independence from spain so step one get public opinion on your side it's simple really you can write up a study yourself this cluster produced a major study on russian influence in the catalan referendum process which was circulated privately to key influences in spain including the prime minister's office and throughout europe on the integrity initiative network step to feed the results of your research to the media its main means of influence is through academic papers and especially through articles written by independent journalists in newspapers like el pais based on material provided anonymously by the cluster. the most read spanish newspaper put out. right a number of independent pieces on catalan referendum some of them written by the

man named as the head of the spanish cluster just take a moment for this information to sink in the leader of the cell designated with pushing a very specific message parts of an information secret service with a budget poses as an unbiased journalist in some of the most popular national newspapers that is what anonymous claimed to have revealed in its leak and the hackers claim it's not about one outlet the list of names in the spanish close to includes writers and contributors to different media some even outside of spain peddling the same message and then it step three sit back relax and enjoy the show you scripted eagar you done of there were the u.k. foreign office says that information about the project is publicly available and that it welcomes any publicity that it gets meanwhile a source at russia's foreign ministry told us that they are looking at the

documents and are not surprised that the u.k. is allegedly carrying out such activities we also got reaction too from one of the people think should in the documents released by the hackers. documents prove no such thing i have not been paid by the institute but i applaud their work in dealing with the checklist regimes put knishes information and influence operations the kremlin is losing russia bullying neighboring countries and murdering its critics why don't you investigate that the real risks of phobia instead of trying to smear people who are trying to resist the kleptocratic xenophobic incompetent hoodlums who make your wonderful country into an international pariah where we discussed aspects of the with the political analyst georgia similarly. western countries are doing exactly what they are accusing the the russians of doing i mean they are essentially waging a psychological propaganda war. directed at the russians what that should

tellers is that we really should stop believing. all the various the pronouncements of government ministers and the stories that constantly appear in the media russia did this russia did that russia's response of adverse ruf is responsible for that because it's clear that this is or part of a. concerted campaign to manipulate public opinion. hillary clinton has claimed that europe needs to curb mass immigration to prevent the election of populist leaders like donald trump although critics to point out the fact the refugee crisis was in part created by foreign interventions by the u.s. and its allies peter oliver has more. former u.s. secretary of state and twenty sixteen presidential candidate hillary clinton has been having her say on the state of liberal democracy in europe she says the e.u.

nations need to cap immigration if they're to halt the rise of the populists i think europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lead the flying i admired the very generous and compassionate approaches that were taken europe must send a very clear message we're not going to be able to continue provide refuge and support if hillary clinton is correct and immigration is the root of the popularity of the populists and i have a look it's where those refugees and migrants have come from and why they came to the european union well the top three nations of origin for asylum applications to the e.u. since twenty fourteen syria iraq and afghanistan all of those countries that have been bombed or in some way to stabilize by the united states and their allies in nato.

currently one of the main routes into europe for refugees and migrants is the dangerous mediterranean sea crossing from libya a nation that was plunged into chaos following the nato intervention that took place on mrs clinton's watch we came we saw our baby died. apparently politicians couldn't have forseen that people would start fleeing in their thousands since they were bringing democracy and a new promise for the future we are standing with the people of libya the bank yes the thief let it be and get out of his domination of libya so freedom can develop his country and when refugees did start arriving they told the europeans not to worry oh those who flee means even more political oppression there we have the responsibility to help. lambing the door on every syrian refugee that is just who we are the rise of populous parties is also

a major concern for those at the very top of the e.u. tree liberal democracy has never been under such attack since the collapse of the soviet union it's all well and good for hillary clinton and like minded e.u. politicians to say that they are concerned about a rise of populism in the e.u. but when they say that the way to stop this is to clamp down on refugees and migrants it comes across as more than just a little bit hypocritical especially when they had a direct hand in making those people refugees in the first place directly contributed to this rise in populism it was under her rule so to speak under the obama administration that libya was bombed into the stone age. supposedly to promote democracy and created a failed state is in direct effect from what she did in office or europe isn't just being told that migration is a bad idea because plans. have also been criticized from across the pond. now takes

a closer look at the french german idea of a european military force which has ruffled washington's feathers in case you missed a european talking about building up again. and then on the run and. breezily outlining their plans to dominate continental europe the french president declared that it say friends german responsibility to prepare really founding of europe i'm sure that the other twenty five union members have nothing to worry about i should. be very easy in the original french at least this time. together the german chancellor and now she won't run in another election can finally say what she actually wants and she really was

a real true european army isn't it lovely how europeans have mitchell and because no one's really male is grieving to hearing a german leader say that well i want from grissom who can't wait to get out and seeing eminem's plans friends it may finally lead like a good idea of course looming in the room is a rather large number of younger brother nato which has been in charge of making sure that europe doesn't have to look after itself for the past seventy years behind very specific to the part that pays by these dogs of the world does not like the sound of it you're in. trouble kids from his french kissing buddy rather well breaking out the classic you'd be speaking german if it wasn't for us. and britain will be idea of a european army to undermine nato crazy so what do we stand european nations

don't like being told they morph a nation a say they plan a whole new army of their own which will cost more than outsourcing to the us marines and as usual the us wants europe to do more to defend itself as long as it doesn't when you need to detect it and britain moans about the threat to nato unity he couldn't quite join just a pure peace and unity and of these armies planning to fight anyway right ron is worried about china russia and the us but that is a whole nother episode. where you boycott are you watching r t we're going to take a quick break we'll have more news in two minutes. unless

the underlying circumstances that allowed for the emergence of this very very lengthy violence. i think that we may go to the sons and even grandsons of dying at some point in the future it's primarily a political issue in iraq that has taken on military. elements or cations.

back now amazon staff of tell their bosses to stop treating them like robots a number of the retail giants employees staged protests on black friday over working conditions in the company's warehouses and workers in the spanish capital demanded improvements to both conditions and salaries while over in the u.s. they protested against plans to open new amisom headquarters demonstrations were also held in france germany italy and the dk one trade union backed the protesters with the following video. annoying or. not some are about the story we are. brokers are going to get out of the. well amazon has more than half a million employees worldwide including a quarter of

a million in the u.s. the minimum wage pays and hour is twelve dollars in europe and fifteen dollars in the u.s. the company recently increasing the rate in the u.s. self the workers protested were following the black friday protests amazon denied exploiting workers and said it provides a safe and positive workspace with competitive pay and also benefits brights lawyer though dan kadlec told us that amazon is actually susceptible to worker and consumer pressure. seen in the united states because of bad publicity and some calls by people like senator bernie sanders amazon raise its wages to fifteen dollars an hour from about twelve dollars an hour so we see that they are amenable to pressure look it's a consumer oriented business and particularly if consumers are willing to put pressure on them they will change their work but also again people do care about

working conditions of others in the pay of others and i think people are realizing that while she. is making many many millions of dollars in these people or working in prison my conditions it is unacceptable. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has answered questions that a news conference in lisbon about the script our case as well as u.k. claims of a russian threat that after meeting his portuguese counterpart trenker is there for us. the portuguese foreign minister began by saying that countries should work together to fight terrorism internationally yet he didn't exclude russia and that is in stark contrast to what we heard from you case chief general staff recent feat he said now that islamic state had pretty much been eliminated russia poses a greater threat to the west than myself and so i ask surrogate lavrov for his reaction to that statement. as to whether there is

a red line in russia regarding statements similar to the one that the british chief of the general staff allowed himself to make you know we cannot prohibit anyone to exercise their intellectual and political abilities. or to go was one of the few european union countries that refused to expel russian diplomats as a result of the script poisoning scandal and so a local journalist asked his foreign minister the question on what could be seen as a lack of diplomatic action to this the portuguese top diplomat replied that portugal will decide on its own what to do when it comes to international politics and the russian foreign minister went on to say that britain was losing trust with the moves it's making no when it comes to this crippled poisoning case globally will put a steward did you the main question is where is yulia script and her father they

haven't been seen in public for many months recently a film was released about the script but what is significant is that there is not a single word about where these poor people are so if the reason no access to this information it can mean only one thing the british secret service and the government have something to hide if you start a lab or off trip to rome and lisbon is wrapping up and according to the washing side it has showed that rome and lisbon are the places on the map of the european. union word had been felled that the tide is rivalry between being what it called as to how the new european politicians are treating their relationship with boston. but finally this hour animal rights activists have been accused of trying to ram their agenda down the throat of an english time called bull they are demanding that it is renamed to make it more animal friendly.

with a simple main change huge can take a stand against cruelty and remind everyone that it's easy to stay warm and be warm hearted to sheep by choosing the going to rule. the name should remain as it's news to the media or renaming this religious thoughts of the ridiculous the most easy antico easy i have come across in a long time the name ball has nothing to do we cheat because from the stats of the word bush springs.

and that is your news wrap for this hour we're back with more news in the headlines in thirty five minutes.

i think that i would want to go fast but inside i'm. a dockside and i think. going down to your next side that you can improve yourself so. that it's over and so then true but i really believe that this is the bottom that we show up side the story and depend. on our condition our life. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that in this particular case the fall the conviction if you had any interrogations out there what you'll

see is threat 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 make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said or forward. say on the statement there i would be home by that the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage and missed. that that has nothing to do with fall they got caught. while the two thousand any financial crash drives america into recession and unemployment willis and a small town in north dakota experiences a genuine black gold rush. thanks to a drug fracking to case or oil is discovered in this tiny town in fact it turns out that williston is sitting atop one of the largest shale oil fields in the nation's

company's rest tracepoint this new energy resource period thirty two miles below or surface oil soon flows freely and news spreads the wildfire for the ones left behind by the crisis of two thousand and eight relisted seems like their last chance for human life with an unemployment rate of zero percent and wages it three or four times more than the national average the promise of prosperity and desperate times is too great to ignore cheered by a common hope thousands of men and women throw themselves once again into a desperate rush towards the mythical american tree and at any cost. history repeats itself in the midst of this new boom no doubt the most impressive in u.s. history. they need there's more work out here than they got able to do it. don't believe. i still believe there's a dream i want you to get you still believe.

it's like gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush. palmer is fresh out of cincinnati in two thousand and twelve after being unemployed for months here's. about the boom happening in with. at first he works for an oil company but soon his desire for independence takes over and he sets up his own service company. bought the company and we had a sweeper truck and the situation and then went from a manageable situation where i would get like some sleep at night and i could like keep up with like daily activities like taking showers every day to like an all out

sprint trying to like keep up with so much work it was amazing go from one job to the next to the next to the next to the next as it is now i have not right now i have not taken a full day off in over nine months and i'm very thankful i'm here and not complaining one bit very thankful for the money an opportunity here was like someone who had been starving for years for like money like all of a sudden there's like. all you can eat. buffet a and all you have to do is go out there and get the work done and people give you money to do it was amazing this year i'm probably going to be making around two hundred fifty thousand dollars is a lot of work involved a lot of work it's twenty four hours a day seven days a week. well i guess i should get back to work. here in an inhospitable handful of contrasts before the williston was a small conservative act.
