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 to 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 purely 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 it is the eight thousand people are protesting a paris today as part of this a yellow best movement 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

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 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 quite 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. u.k. foreign office says that information about the project is publicly available and that it welcomes any publicity ged's meanwhile a source at russia's foreign ministry told us they're looking at the documents and are not surprised that the u.k. is allegedly carrying out such activities to get 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 check his regime has 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 we discussed aspects of research phobia with political analyst george some morally western countries are doing exactly what they're accusing the the russians of doing i mean they are essentially you waging a psychological propaganda war. directed at the russians what that should tell us is that we are initial stop believing. all the various pronouncements of government ministers and the stories that constantly appear in the media russia did

there so russia did that russia's response or verse rough is responsible for that because it's clear that this is all part of a. concerted campaign to manipulate public opinion. hillary clinton has claimed europe needs to curb mass immigration to prevent the election of populous leaders like donald trump the critics point to the fact the refugee crisis was in part created by foreign interventions by the us and its allies beat all of us. 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 let'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 applicants 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 to assad he 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 europeans not to worry those who flee misery war 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. 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 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. europe isn't just being told that migration is a bad idea plans for an e.u. army have also been criticised from across the pond takes a closer look at the french german idea of the european military force which has ruffled washington's for this case you missed a european talking about building up again.

and. breezily outlining their plans to dominate continental europe the french president declared that it runs german responsibility. re founding of europe i'm sure that the other twenty five union members have nothing to worry about. nineteen very easy in the original french at least this time. of working together the german child. 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's really malians grieving after hearing a german leader say that well i want from grissom who can't wait to get out and seeing eminem's plans brings 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 played by these dogs the world does not like the sound of it you're in. trouble. for his french kissing buddy raul the well breaking out classic you'd be speaking german if it wasn't for us. and britain called the 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 may 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 do it well i'm 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 micron is worried about china russia and the us but that is a whole nother episode. one friday turned sour stuff around the world denouncing working conditions will have all the details for you on the story after this short break. lead.

statistic from a couple weeks ago came out that showed the wealth and income gap around the 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. spread between this concentration and then you've got the royalists there are people there in the tory party who support the queen whose whole point of breaks it was to support the queen ok so they are stereo and a moron of policy because incredible poverty brags it's all about supporting the queen and getting rid of the world tax. welcome back i'm a zone stuff of told the bosses to stop treating them like robots

a number of the retail johnson ploy staged protests on black friday over working conditions in the company's warehouses. because in the spanish capital demanded improvements to both conditions and salaries over in the u.s. they protested against plans to open new amazon headquarters demonstrations were also held in fronts germany italy and the united kingdom on trade union bank the protesters with the following video. noise show. and this is all we. know. 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. after workers protested. following the black friday protest amazon denied exploiting workers and said that it provides a safe and positive workspace 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 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 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 in the larger bozo is making many many millions of dollars in these people or working in prison like conditions it is unacceptable. which is foreign minister

sergei lavrov has and said questions at a news conference in lisbon about the script case as well as u.k. claims of a russian threat and after meeting his portuguese counterpart he said it is there for. 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 e.u. case chief general staff recent feat he said now that is sad state had pretty much been eliminated russia poses a greater threat to the west then 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 can appreciate it and he want to exercise the 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 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 know when it comes to this cripple poisoning case globally will put a steward could you the main question is where is yulia scrip pile 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 wash inside it has showed that rome and lisbon are the places on the map of the europe. in union where it can be felt that the tide is gradually changing when it comes to our senior european politicians are treating their relationship with moscow. less or joining us in saving your g r t international of about the latest headlines and updates on our top stories in half an hour. on this young the lying circumstances that's a loud for the emergence of this servility villain for violence i think we may get the sons and even grandsons of guys at some point in the future it's

primarily a political issue in iraq that has taken on the military. and i'm afraid cations. when lawmakers manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes and protect themselves. in the financial merry go round of lives only the one percent of. the time we can all middle of the room signals. mean real new real world. i've been saying the numbers mean something a matter of us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like our current happy each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich

eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred. five hundred three per second per second and going rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember in one one business shows you know ford to miss the one and only. you know world big partisan movies a lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time

is now for watching close watch of the hawks. us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. we're going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circulated branches off that says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with them money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war then surely we can risk some discomfort for an easy for us.

well. this is the pat on the land. five years ago it was all grass. like that over there now and this is pumper going day in day out we didn't have any choice really we could have put it over that way or ways i mean we could have moved it a little bit. but we have to let the people who own the mineral rights get to those minorities and they compensated us for what they took here but the company built it and we have it now for own next forty years i'm guessing i don't own. my

house up there i'm there we have we used to have a beautiful view. now we have this to look at brings in a little bit of money very little if they took us out of here and get back all the money i made off of it's. going to happen. someday. you know on oil is all pumped out of the ground they will come back here and level it all out and turn it back into farmland but that's you know like i said

it's going to be out of most of our lifetimes be out of mind for sure. have nothing to say about where. well i should say i have nothing to say you can suggest but they don't have to listen to you don't mean you have no legal say in it put it that way so they can put a wherever they want they don't need any your permission foreign oil industry follows a proper practices i don't think will have a problem but there's always that if me if they don't then we could have an issue in the biggest issue would be to to ground water as i see it when we live our in rural areas most of us depend on wells for our our drinking water and all the water we use in our old so if that would happen it would be a very bad thing. as

all the fracturing jobs that's where they pump the the sand.
