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 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 iliza we're still hearing what sounds like to be by the sound good aides all to get our sabean released we know and you can see the flashing lights over the police the police and security services are surrounding all of the areas of course trying to keep some sort of control on this protest. president micron us tonight condemned violence saying there's no room for

such violence in the republic. the british government is funding a large secret network to control political and public opinion about alleged malign russian ditties this is according to documents that have been leaked by the hacker group anonymous artie's it is done of explains. in 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 ngo 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 fear's 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 in 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 close to 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. of 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 clusty includes writers and contributors to different media some even outside of spain

peddling the same message and then it's step three sit back relax and enjoy the show you scripted for the u.k. foreign office has information about the project is publicly available and that it welcomes any publicity it gets meanwhile a source at russia's foreign ministry told us they are looking at the documents and are not surprised the u.k.'s allegedly carrying out such activities we also got reaction from one of the people featured in the documents released by the hackers the documents prove no such thing i have not been paid by the institute but i applaud their work in dealing with the chekist 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 and we discussed aspects of the us a phobia with political analyst george somewhere. 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 russian did that russia's response of the verse ruf is responsible for that because it's clear that this is or part of a. concerted campaign to manipulate public opinion. to be clinton has claimed europe needs to curb mass immigration to prevent the election of populous leaders such as donald trump and critics point to the fact the

refugee crisis was in part created by foreign interventions by the u.s. and its allies into. 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 populace and that's 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 the new promise for the future we are standing with the people of libya the bank yes the. let it be and get out this domination of libya so freedom from developing 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 and populism it was under her rule so to speak.

libya was bombed into the stone age. supposedly to promote democracy and created a failed state is in direct effect for what she did in office. europe isn't just being told that migration is a bad idea plans for an e.u. army of also be criticized from across the pond it 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 . breezily outlining their plans to dominate continental europe french president declared that it faces friends or 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 indeed

a regional friend at least this time. in our working together the judgment. 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 mature because no one is 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 live 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 right and you start a war does not like the sound of it you're in. trouble kids from his french kissing

buddy rather well breaking out the classics you'd be speaking german if it wasn't for us. around britain colby 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 well 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 cron is worried about china russia and the us but that is a whole nother episode. what friday turned sour was on with stuff around the world denouncing working conditions that all the

details up to shore. i think that i would want to go fast but inside i'm. a dockside i think. going down to your neck side you can improve yourself. but it's also very true but i really believe that the bottom that we show on the side that it's all really depend. on our condition our life. on the sea on the line circumstances that allowed for the emergence of this very

very long form violence i think we may get the sons and even grandsons of doris at some point in the future it's primarily a political issue in iraq that has taken on the military. on the for occasions. come back amazon staff have told their bosses to stop treating them like robots and above the retail johnson ploy he staged protests on black friday over working conditions in the company's warehouses a muslim workers in the spanish capital demanded improvements to both conditions and salaries all over new u.s. a protest against plans to open new amazon headquarters demonstrations were also held in france germany italy in the u.k. and trade union backed the protesters with the following video. annoying or shall

mobile phone robots and the story we cannot rule out. the army. i was on has more than half a million employees worldwide including a quarter of a million in the u.s. the minimum wage it pays an hour is twelve dollars in europe and fifteen dollars in the u.s. the company recently increased the rate in the u.s. up to workers there protested. following the black friday protest amazon denied exploiting workers and said that it provides a safe positive work space with competitive pay and benefits labor rights lawyer told us that amazon is susceptible to worker and consumer pressure. we see in the united states that because of bad publicity and some calls by people like senator bernie sanders amazon raised 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 so particularly if consumers are willing to put pressure on them they will change their way but also again people do care about working conditions of others in the pay of others and i think people realize that while jeff bezos is making many many millions of dollars and his people are working in prison my conditions it is unacceptable. russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov has answered questions at a news conference in lisbon about the script case as well as u.k. claims of a russian threat that's after meeting his portuguese counterpart what he said to trying to is that 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've heard from you please

generals doubt recent feat he said now that state had pretty much been eliminated russia poses a greater threat to the west then i saw and so i asked. for his reaction to that statement i'm sure. 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 can appreciate it and he want to exercise their intellectual and political abilities of portugal 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 law. 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 orchard call 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 when it comes to this crippled poisoning case glow in the report of seward would be 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 rob trip to rome and lisbon is wrapping up and according to russian side it has showed that rome and lisbon are the places on the map of the european union where it can be felt that the tide is gradually changing when it comes to how senior european politicians are treating their relationship with moscow.

and more rights activists have been accused of trying to ram their agenda down the throats of the englishtown cold wolf they're demanding it be renamed to make it more animal friendly. with a simple name 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 good wolf. the name should remain as it is the idea of renaming the village is possibly ridiculous the most easy antico easy i have come across in a long time the name wall has nothing to do we cheat it comes from distracting the word bush spring.

like staying with us watching out international updates going away the top of the.

statistics from a couple weeks ago came out that show the wealth and income gap around who world in different countries and there's there's the u.s. . there's france and then there's the u.k. it's like why does stuff with incredible spread between this concentration and then you've got the royalist there are people there in the tory party who support the queen whose whole point of bragg's it was to support the queen ok so they just aired a list and a moronically policy because you travel poverty brags it's all about supporting the queen and getting rid of their world contacts.

nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that profile in the small way shape or form will converge if you look at any interrogation 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 and don't accept their denials she said therefore with poor harry said the statement that i will be home by that time the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with solving their crime.

dumb afshin rattansi we're going underground is the future of britain's prime minister is arguably decided today and. and all that irish party previously linked to protestant paramilitaries coming up in the show with up to eighty five thousand children under the age of five dead as a result of manmade starvation in yemen we ask a former drone operator if britain is complicit in war crimes and unicef on the ground in u.k. weapons dog to yemen gives us its take on the world's worst humanitarian crisis and britain's biggest police force advises not to drive into london but it's not because ten thousand die each year in the capital because of pollution but it's happening now stop pete because he won't work you know britain's parliamentary speaker didn't publicly right off to raise a maze bricks at dealing in pews pull the symbol coming up in today's going underground the first in a week when britain's intelligence services admitted they didn't act accordingly to stop the bombing of the ariana grande a concert in manchester which killed twenty two are others continuing to be killed

because of so-called u.k. intelligence this in a week of college and british involved conflict from afghanistan to yemen i'm joined now by skype from one town in the northwest of the united states by ordering whistleblower and former drone operator brandon bryant brandon thanks so much for coming on the show now we have in one analysis a third of those killed in drone strikes in yemen this year have been civilians including children. much surprise i would say that probably the numbers are a lot higher actually. in terms of the reports that are coming out my leadership one of the first times a mistake happened and i went to my leadership for rican silly asian my supervisor told me to pretend it was a dark so imagine that i kill a child at that point and imagine. the you know if they're being forced to report on this they're being forced to give you a number they're going to give you

a number that they think is reasonable and i don't think one life is reasonable at all and mean in any case according to the united states constitution we should be giving people fair and free trials in front of juries and we're sitting there just demolishing an entire nation or britain exporting arms of course but sharing intelligence with the united states for the targeting of these drones. given perhaps what you are saying is an outlier if well should britain be sharing intelligence well i mean this is where such secret compartmentalised information kind it gets needs to be brought to the table because this is where people who should be men and take responsibility for their own action and if britain is getting intelligence for the consummation of these people's lives then yes they're held responsible for it there's no question.
