they are. what are their options to stay in the country with donald trump in the. both of you what is the. deal with the. both of you out there to appear with the. french government tries to work out how to deal with the nationwide protests against fuel prices a central paris reels from its worst riots in a decade. from now it's a new mission to the international space station lifting off the first of since a failed launch almost two months ago. we report from the by. also ahead.

large scale police drills are held on the us mexico border with thousands of people fleeing poverty from all across latin america expected to attempt crossing the. we look at how foreign aid pouring into the region may actually be doing more harm than good. moments after ten am in moscow on this monday december the welcome to your headlines here on our teams in. the french capital is reeling after the most violent riots there in decades what started as a protest against fuel prices spiraled out of control with cars windows smashed and the vandalized president two of the off the mouth of the rampage and was met with

simmering anger. right now in central paris just after eight am where you are now i understand the city workers have been cleaning up much of the mastering the late night hours but do tell us how the french government trying to deal with this ongoing crisis. call returned home from that g twenty summit to those boos here in paris to basically see the destruction of parts of the city after those violent protests over the weekend the protests of the yellow vests he in france now he held an

emergency meeting at the least sunday and he's who did that the french prime minister and with felipe she held talks with political leaders and with the yellow vests movement that's been pretty difficult up to now because yellow vest movement doesn't have any leaders suit to speak but it has elected some spokespeople and the smalling there are reports that those spokes pearson's from the yellow vests have said that they are willing to hold dialogue with the government we also understand that the interior minister to get the security forces are ready here in france in case there is more mayhem and chaos in the weeks to come we already know that after three weeks of protests another protest is scheduled for next saturday he in paris with other protests also scheduled for of course france because while the chaos was mainly here in paris these protests nationwide and there has been for chaos in other french cities as well now after that. meeting with the security. forces

being prepped for potential war mayhem it's also been muted that could declare another state of emergency just twelve months off to the last one ended there's been three weeks now of violent protests in parts of france including here paris let's take a flavor of what happened over the weekend. it was. last week.

we came back to the plush shows to go i'm not that moment i was shot i'm mediately thought the bullet had come from law enforcement as the police were shooting from that side of the protesters they were able to understand i wasn't a protester i wasn't wearing a yellow vest i was wearing a leather jacket and a helmet. with the yellow vests movement started less than a month ago here in france it was in response to what people have described as being the high taxes on fuel rods which be increased by more than twenty percent in the last year under the mako government but it is come to symbolize a much a more the not and it's actually shifted into a cry of anguish from people who say that there is high unemployment here that they see high rates of poverty that there are problems with services. and that basically there is a massive gulf between the rich and the poor here in frogs they also say that they

were checked the idea of the political system. and what's more interesting is while they've said that there is weeks and weeks of protests possibly still to come despite that despite the chaos they still seem to have huge support from the french public in general with some poll suggesting that out of every three people in france support this movement and support their aims to improve the living standards of normal french people. live in paris thank you. meantime we spoke with a political commentator. who says the french president has right now in an impossible position. it's not just about the gas prices but it's a general vote against ability of the government the problem is that it's not most of the government can do because the government will be the or the us from the european commission and the european commission want to balance the budget and do what's in the public services and that has been going on for years and years and

years and. they didn't see as the solution to everything in his head they think the sixteen year old and sixteen you said send us team the dutch comedy. i don't understand the depth of the problem and the index and the people that. use those of the mainstream media the least it's ok the incompetent there may be skillful fans when they see this level of competence and. of the depth of the problem of the reality of their own currency and the problem of the put is that the food to some but they don't seem to hate or the problem is much deeper and has to do with. being in. hours from now our soyuz rocket will be lifting off destination the international space station it will be the first manned flight since a failed mission almost two months ago and the expedition is carrying three crew

members russian cosmonaut. is by far the most experienced having been to space already three times for his colleagues canadian david son jack and american and mcclain it will be their first flight relatives of the crew members are also at the launch site to see them off. that told me everything he's worried about because he still intact that he said he got willing everything's going to be fine. reports. type of was a model of wrong raised for grayson's male loop routine they've been doing it for sixteen years the rocket is assembled to look at this it's really the entrance for

the to the lorne side where it's raised to a vertical position twenty fuel then check and double check. it was done here when the first hearing was sent to space from here you're a good guy aren't but they still i'm is different the last men launch didn't go well no one wants that to happen again and. looked over his takeoff started smoothly but ninety seconds into the flight something went wrong in the family i hoped it would happen. while separating the rocket stages pumped into each other the fifty meters three hundred ton construction was critical the automatic emergency system immediately aborted that mission until the crew capsule. instead of going to the international space

station they landed in kazakhstan and lives steps hundreds of kilometers from way they had taken off just minutes earlier this will dinners is where they merges you capsule with two fortunate crew members landed safely. of the russian cosmonaut and american astronauts unharmed after the incident unbelievably given that they fell from a height of fifty kilometers and taken a steep ballistic descend on deforest many times stronger than gravity some cold days and miracle. a special commission was formed do the best to gate was. went wrong three weeks later they reached a conclusion a sensor that was supposed to detect the separation of the stages was faulty footage of the reason behind the failure was operational the action occurred due to a fault in a sensor so this could only happen at the assembly stage at the baikonur cosmodrome

. and behind me is where they put the rockets parts together as always manually and this is where they investigate as to believe the sensor metal detail that b. was deformed to trigger in their margin say lending securities higher than ever extra people are invited to supervise the prices no journalists are allowed inside but we've got the video of the space agency shared with us what they call a technical shooting they filmed assembly in fine detail every screw every joint they know now it may help the investigation. just seven weeks after the feeler baikonur is ready for the next man flight further delay could disrupt the work of the isis and the crew some of their weakness therefore to launch in a cobra seem more confident than ever in the russian technology that carries

astronauts to the international space station in a way witnessing that event to me was actually reassuring. the smart design of the so use and the incredible work that this witness people here on the ground can do i really do every every village i went inside. the safe it is a bit small. as any time i wish it may be said. to take part in the design but. eight and a half minutes after takeoff the sea news is expected to reach orbit and just six hours later to talk with the international space station but they sometimes will feel much longer. see rome. with thousands of people heading from all across latin america towards the united states as part of the so-called migrant caravan large scale police drills and all being held along the border but.

law enforcement officials have been marching in full riot gear practicing setting off. many of the migrants expected to arrive at the us mexico border reportedly come from honduras. fleeing from poverty living conditions and a lack of overall jobs however as aunties and explains aid that's poor into the region and may be doing more harm than good. with thousands of migrants stranded on the u.s. border threats of lethal force and tear gas are amplifying an already intense scene .

after they're going to leave for having left honduras and el stuck there the majority of the migrants stranded at the border just want to realize their dream now donald trump is threatening to cut off aid to the country for enabling the migrant caravan to approach the u.s. border and the amount of aid the usa gives to honduras isn't particularly large the amount listed for twenty eight team is sixty five point eight million dollars now it may come as a shock but some leftists and activists in honduras actually want the united states to cut off aid the that the u.s. government gives is invested precisely in the failed security policy and seventy members of the u.s. congress agree with them there's been a bill that's been. what forward to cut off aid to honduras to end support for what they're calling a corrupt and undemocratic regime we should have cut off my own tree a two hundred s. a long time ago but for very different reasons their complete disregard for worker rights indigenous rights and individual freedoms are unacceptable in an ally of the

united states now the socialist president of honduras was toppled in two thousand and nine in a military coup that took place shortly after barack obama took office now there was outrage all over the world but the united states recognized the new elections that took place under military rule these interruptions of democracy should be completely relegated to the past now it is time for the hemisphere as a whole to move forward and welcome honduras back into the enter american community since that time honduras has been caught in a downward spiral of drugs crime poverty and political strife now this all peaked in two thousand and seventeen when juan orlando hernandez was elected president there were protests and the government responded with force. that widespread allegations of voter fraud prompted conflicting responses from the united states with the u.s.

capitol giving mixed messages on duracell to presidential election which was marred by irregularities and a lack of transparency a new election must take place the widespread irregularities raise further doubts about the legitimacy of the hung jury and elections we join calls for a new election one that must be free fair and transparent we congratulate president hu on the london on this on his victory in the twenty six presidential elections there was very very questionable all the action results which the united states supported and as we've seen their lead us government which is totally corrupt cracking down repressing the people of. the united states has. you know the side of the hunter in people has not been on the side of positive progress at risk for united states has been in bed with the presses regime the migrants on the border bring some horrific realities that home and whether or not washington to shoulder some of the blame those problems are now at their doorstep caleb mop and artsy new

york and so i have for you here on this monday program a harvard student faces of fiction roommate say she had firearms stored in her bedroom and happens to be a supporter i will give you that on the other stories as well and. you know world big partisan movies lot 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 bath 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 closely watching the

hawks. manufacture consent to the public will. when the ruling class is protect them so. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room see. your monday stories here on r.t. there's a fresh momentum among us democrats in their efforts to probe donald trump's alleged ties to russia during the twenty sixteen presidential elections that's after his former lawyer pleaded guilty to lying to congress about

a trump tower construction project in moscow that was ultimately shelved michael cohen says he pursued the project on trump's behalf in the middle of a twenty sixteen campaign a charm denied any involvement saying he was far too busy electioneering the russian president's spokesperson though has confirmed the kremlin was approached but responded by saying it didn't deal with the construction work but intelligence committee chairman richard burr says the cohen's case shows that you can't get away with lying to congress and artie's down holkins now looks at how others who lied under oath far less media attention. lying is bad lying to congress is even worse lying to congress for the sake of trump well that's just unforgivable this is one more example. president's closest allies lying about their ties to russia and russians if you lie to us we're going to get you and

we're going to prosecute you period in the senate cullen has lied to congress and that man a foreign force like lawyers i mean literally war says these are the bad guy the real question is what will this president do michael cohen admitted he lied out of loyalty to trump about the exact length of business talks on trump's construction project in moscow some sources allegedly say he also lied about supposed payments to former model stormy daniels all because he hoped for a presidential pardon so michael cohen says he lied because he thought trump would forgive him for the best excuse let's be honest there what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive but that aside let's face the facts he was hardly the first the only or probably the last elite of the past year that hasn't been a single collateral death because of the exceptional proficiency precision of the capabilities with unable to develop what was former cia chief john brennan the

country's top counterterrorism adviser at the time convincing an audience that u.s. drone strikes caused local lateral damage when reports of civilian deaths were being received both by the president and intelligence services as far as the allegations of you know cia hacking into you know senate computers nothing could be further from the truth we wouldn't do that that was his side of the story on the senate spy scandal when the cia was accused of monitoring computers used by committee stuff that didn't turn out so well later forcing an apology from mr brennan and here is former n.s.a. head james clapper accounting to a senate select committee on n.s.a. spying programs does the n.s.a. collect any type of gate on a millions or hundreds of millions of americans. no sir. yet you face no charges for a statement he himself admitted was the road yes and even the man now in charge of the russia collusion probe former f.b.i.

chief bob moola didn't lie but at the very least supported and pushed the false narrative which led to the invasion of iraq and subsequent chaos secretary powell presented evidence last week that baghdad has failed to disarm its weapons of mass destruction so what can we learn lying is bad and everyone knows it but we'll let dr house summarize the truth of the human condition. everybody lies. the only parents about what the press did not think that the lies told by democratic administration members to a republican congress was a bad thing but they do think that lies by people who worked for mr trump years ago . could be a very exciting thing because it could harm mr trump mr cohen will tell whatever lie he has to tell to make sure he comes out ok and if he thinks the lies going to get him a pardon will tell that lie if he thinks the law is good of

a deal for the special prosecutors will tell that what the guy is worthless as a witness and is worthless as someone who can build a case around won't stop moeller from trying but he's built his house on sand. the americans might be forgiven for thinking that as long as they keep their firearms legally in a safe place they won't get into trouble especially given the second amendment which guarantees their right to own guns that was not the case in one student who was asked to move out of a shed flattened by had landlord and remains. it's clear that the rest of the housemates are extremely uncomfortable with the idea of firearms being kept in the household since it's clear that layla wants to keep her firearms it would be best for all parties if she finds another place to live layla perny is a twenty four year old harvard student and the spot erupted after her roommates complained to the landlord that they didn't feel comfortable with firearms on the property after they went through her things and found the gun along with

a make america great again cap. of her and he says as he explained to a flatmates that she owns her guns legally adding that she had lived in the apartment without any incident she thinks though there's another reason why she was kicked out. when i asked them why they were in my room to begin with they each came up with completely contradicting stories none of which made any sense but one comment struck me in particular was saw that you had to make america great again had and come on you from alabama so we just kind of assumed that you had something . it's not the first time that owners of a make america great again cap have faced problems. bruises hurt against you and particularly this time and maybe they're going to gather to go to another classroom and remain here. or you think your head off or you're talking to them if you know what he wanted to. support.

your decision do you make your dream level you feel like you got it done for. forty but you decided no sir that's a terrible question i'm simply a donkey crook supporter who also happens to want equality from what i've read they he is roommates virtually admit that they became nervous when they saw the maid the hat that make america great again hat which of course indicates that she's a supporter of donald trump so they just based on that said well she must have something she must be and not she must be a right winger she must have guns let's go look thank god they didn't beat this girl law or harm this girl physically there are all kinds of stories of people wearing hats from look young adults or teenagers sitting in mcdonald's to people driving in their car with their trump bumper sticker on it being attack to people wearing a hat or shirt make america great sure they get physically beaten up can you imagine

what would have happened if somebody wearing an obama had a wearing an obama t. shirt had ever been beaten that they would have led the news for days i thank you for joining us a few monday stories and sharing a time with us at oncet international hope you can join us again soon we are back with. what we've got to do is identify. the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. cos you've got most of us just a little simple don't want to because most wanted us to become just about. many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentries sides of the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities best person asked bank of mom. most needed more don't have it at best when i get them in a lot of class and i want that. they have water they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house for political rivals. the who can be about the. affairs it struggles of many couples. deal with the political political spawn both of you out to do the bulk of the.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go to the press with a white woman for three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. there should. be. times are we going underground as in brussels nato boss against stoltenberg meet

with his allies to arguably try and keep his organization together while turkish president to one goes to venezuela coming up alicia has the o.p.c. w prepares to investigate where is the outrage for aleppo where rebels linked to the u.k. and edge of the used chemical weapons against one hundred men women and children and i was off to critical of the lucien elections that could decide the future of the spanish government we go to gibraltar to ask of brecht's a convert to raise i'm a has given it away plus we told the russian film week with one of its patrons and the award winning actor brian caucus told us of all coming up in today's going underground because today is a closed door subpoena testimony day for the man who was boss of the f.b.i. james komi nowadays a live chat shows that i spoke about information and verified they're related to an allegation that he was with prostitutes in a hotel in moscow and that the russians had videotaped it today that man may answer
