when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. oh god. i i i i. i. was. off for a weekend that saw the most violent riots in paris in fifty years the city braces

for this time i made it present. the surveys the aftermath of saturday's carnage in the capital. was. also to come this hour less than thirty minutes from now a new mission to the international space station will lift the first the first one since a failed launch almost two months ago a report from the baikonur cosmodrome plant. so a. 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 frontier we look at how foreign aid pouring into the region could be doing more good.

but i welcome just pm here in moscow you're watching international. now hundreds of medics have joined the wave of protests that script the french capital. from a. little further north. you can see the latest pictures from paris they're using sirens and phone lines to attract attention to their cause. we get more now from our correspondent who's down there for a shot of the been skiing in paris charlotte good afternoon we sure a lot of protests across the weekend didn't way now the medics are protesting one of they angry about. well as you can see they are sounding no sirens here just on the plaster look on gold as you go

towards the national assembly the thing that they're unhappy about is a change in france that was implemented two months ago whereby hospitals now decide rich ambulance service in france will collect patients and the drivers are concerned but could threaten their jobs in the future now this is just the latest in a stream of protests that we've been seeing him frogs that sickly over the last few weeks with a very visible movement over these e-mails your they've been out for three weekends on the trot now with protests descending into chaos here in paris and it looks like those protests said to continue at some of describe the violence embarrass on saturday the boom buildings burned cars graffiti and smashed shops a new thing as some of the worst violence prone to seen since nineteen sixty eight let's have a look at what happened over the weekend. if. the

five. me if. we were going and doing. well president mccall returned home to france also to the g. twenty summit in argentina on sunday morning and he went to assess some of the damage and the role since gives him a warm welcome. to legal view. you know.

you. well president marco and also held an emergency meeting on sunday with members of the cabinet he's just the prime minister with the holding discussions of political leaders and those images all movement to see how they can appease those are protests fuel source the end soon or be in syria minister to make sure that the security services are ready for any further mayhem and it's also been mooted the possibility of the frogs to declare a new state of emergency just a loon off to the last one ended well do all this you lose your was there a movement a social movement that started just a few weeks ago a new city over the high cost of taxes on fuel here in france but since then they've progressed to do social movements they're unhappy with things such as the high unemployment rate here in france as well as the high cost of living and they

sent to continue their protests against another demonstration expected to take place on saturday in paris. ok thanks for the update there shallow shot of the pinsky force in paris. difficult commentator sean but he says that mccrone is in an impossible position. evolve is not just about the gas prices but it's a general have all the gains ability of the government the problem is that it's not most of the government can do because the government as you will be the orders 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 into the valar there circassians on those not all macaws fault they didn't see as the solution to everything in his head they think is sixteen year old and sixteen you said center is team lee detached from reality i don't understand the depth of the problem and the whole endeavor and the people hounding him and he is

those of the mainstream media the d. dorian is that it right there ok the incompetent there may disappear for fans when they see this level of competence and live in the homes of the dept of the problem of the reality of their own gallantry and the problem of the put us the us is that they fall to some asshole but they don't seem to either is or the problem is much deeper and has to do with the general policy of the european union. there are thousands of people heading a heading from all across latin america towards the united states as part of the so-called migrant caravan large scale police troopers are being held along the border. or unfortunate officials have been marching in full riot gear and practicing setting off to gas many of the migrants expected to arrive at the us mexico border do come from honduras they are fleeing from poverty die living conditions and also

a lack of jobs however is artie's kind of explains a visit pouring into the region may actually 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 . yeah after their usual 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 aid that the us 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 put forward to cut off aid to honduras to end support for what they're calling a corrupt and undemocratic regime we should have caught on a two hundred 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. 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. without widespread allegations of voter fraud prompted conflicting responses from the united states with the u.s. capitol giving mixed messages on duracell the presidential election which was marred by irregularities and a lack of transparency a new election must take place the widespread irregularities rose 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

who on the london on this on his victory in the november twenty sixth presidential elections there was a very very questionable all the action results which the united states supported and so we've seen their land as government which is totally corrupt cracking down repressing the people of. the united states has not been on the side of the hunter and people has not been on the side of positive progress at reform united states has been in dead west the repressive regime the migrants on the border bring some horrific realities at home and whether or not washington to shoulder some of the blame those problems are now at their doorstep kaleb mopp and r.t. new york. now there's fresh momentum among u.s. democrats at the moment in their efforts to probe donald trump's alleged ties to russia too in the twenty sixteen presidential elections after his former lawyer pleaded guilty to lying to congress about a trump tower construction project in moscow that was eventually shelled michael

cohen says he pursued the project on trump's behalf in the middle of the twenty sixteen campaign trump denied any involvement though saying that he was too busy electioneering the russian president spokes person. has confirmed the kremlin was approached but responded by saying it didn't deal with construction work well the intelligence committee chairman richard burr says that cohen's case shows that you can't get away with lying to congress but i know hawkins now looks at how others who lied under oath did garner 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 and use 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 counter-terror divisor at the time convincing an audience that u.s. drone strikes caused local actual 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 data on a millions or hundreds of millions of americans. no sir. yet he faced no charges for a statement he himself admitted was the room yes and even the man now in charge of the russia collusion probe 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 i will let dr house summarize the truth of the human condition but everybody lies. 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 work 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 her 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 it's worthless as someone who can build

a case around won't stop moeller from trying but he's built his house on sand. now in just under ten minutes time we do expect to get life by going over the launch of a manned mission to the international space station since the failed launch two months ago if you. will be going back there just off the bridge. you know world big partisan movie 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 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 closely watching the hawks. will all make manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round lives only the one percent. nor middle of the room. the real new. fellow again you with artane now americans might be forgiven for thinking verse has long as they keep their firearms legally and in

a safe place they won't get into trouble especially given the second amendment which does guarantee their right to own guns but that was not actually the case for one student who was asked to move out of a shared flat by her landlord and her roommates 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 our firearms it would be best for all parties if she finds another place to live. well apparently there is a twenty four year old harvard student spatter up did after her roommates complained to the landlord that they didn't feel comfortable with firearms on the property that after they went through her things and family guns along with a make america great again baseball cap or perny says that she explained to her flatmates that she owns her guns legally adding that she'd lived in the apartment without incident she thinks there's another reason though why she was kicked. 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 well it's not the first time that i own is of a make america great again cap of face problems. through the target against you and particularly that kind of thing maybe they're going to gather everybody to go to another classroom and you can remain here. or you can think your head off or you know talk to them if you know what do you want to. do support. your reason do you like your friend and i let me feel like you got it to work. for you but if you decide to. serve that's a terrible question i'm simply going ok from supporter who also happens to want you

quoting from what i've read the his roommates virtually admit that they became nervous when they saw the maid at 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 a nut she must be a right winger she must have guns let's go look thank god they didn't beat this girl out or harm this girl physically there are all kinds of stories of people wearing hats from look young adults or teenagers sitting in mcdonalds the people driving in their car with their truck bumper sticker on it being attack to people wearing a hat or shirt make america great sure they get physically beat not could you imagine what would happen 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. venomous reptile known as the palestine viper has been adopted by israel as its national

snake the movie so has created a toxic atmosphere with some describing it as an act of heritage that. it's. sixty. two things. it's the palestine vice and always will be sort of what anyone wants it's bill not what israel has appropriated it will not stay silent to make more of this we'll fight this and we prove that it's a palestinian fight some experts will confront the.

things that. he's going to spread and coolest so that you know there is a very big oh you think you know us and our limited partnership there are we are told for sure. ok let's go back to those live pictures from baikonur thoughts where we're going to see a launch in just under ten minutes time it will be the launch of the first manned mission to the international space station since that failed launch two months ago

i will keep our eye on this summer back with more just after the break. from very bad to even worse russia ukraine relations in my poem pale gives credit to the saudis for relieving suffering in yemen and is the guardian simply fake news . join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then.

up the track. thank you. thank. you. thank you. hello again now in a matter of moments a soyuz rocket will be lifting off destination the international space station it will be the first manned flight since the failed mission almost two months ago and we go live now to baikonur and speak with our correspondent memory from. the launch

site maria looks a bit chilly there no doubt a lot of excitement around this launch but saw expect a few nerves to. yes and three we are now at the by can we get a cosmodrome here a new kazakhstan behind me you can see the rocket that is in less than ten minutes going to start its praise journey carry an international crew to the i assess russian a leg. jack and american and mclean for the two astronauts these will be their virgin flight and they have been around two thousand c. use launches already including one hundred thirty seven with people on board but today's launch is far from routine one why this thing is that she uses only new three accidents in their long history. never with fatalities but always

leading. two missions aborted eighteen nineteen seventy five a nine hundred eighty three and the maze two recent one is you just mentioned happened just seven weeks ago in october during the last manned flight and of course that incident overshadows today's exciting event here's my report on why today's launch is so different and so important. happened was a problem drone raised preparations made a loop routine they've been doing it for sixteen years the rocket is assembled to look at this it's really the entrance for them to the long side where it's raised

to a vertical position if you will then check and double check. it was done here when the first human was sent to space from here yuri gagarin but this time is different from the last men launch it 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 family hoped it would happen. while separating the rocket stages to 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's and liz steps. hundreds of kilometers from way they had taken off just minutes earlier this will dinner's is where they merges the capsule with two fortunate crewmembers landed safely. to the russian cosmonaut and american astronaut unharmed after the incident on the little league given the navy fell from a height of fifty kilometers making a steep ballistic descend on their force many times stronger than gravity some cold days and miracle. a special commission was formed do best to gauge what went wrong three weeks later they reached a conclusion a sensor that was supposed to detect the separation of the stagers was faulty digitally the reason behind the failure was operational reaction occur due to a fault in a sensor so this could only happen at the assembly stage of the baikonur cosmodrome

. and behind the ears where they put the rockets parts together as always to manually and this is where i think best to gator's relieve the sensor metal detail that b. was deformed to trigger in the 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 the launching of tobruk seem more confident than ever in the russian technology that carries astronauts to the international space station in

a way with this in that event to me was actually reassuringly. the smart design for the so use and incredible work of the search and rescue people on the ground that can do i really do every every village i went inside. the safe 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 sinews is expected to reach all of it and just six hours later to talk with the international space station but they sometimes feel much longer. see from baikonur in kazakhstan. so as you just heard despite the recent accident or maybe surprisingly even due to the stick crew feels very ready and very confident in the russian technology taking cosmonauts.
