one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying there's just no way that doesn't mean that we even many of the families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. that the time. for a weekend that saw the most violent riots in paris and fifty years the city braces for more protests this time by medics that is the president back from his food as he surveys the aftermath of saturday's carnage in the capital. was.

also to come a three person crew is on his way to the international space station a soyuz rocket lifted off without a hitch almost two months. we report from the baikonur cosmodrome. and a russian t.v. reporters accused of spying in the u.k. by the ministry and the media following what was called his suspicious behavior side and on the facility. i get off and welcome just gone four o'clock here in moscow are you watching international. hundreds of medics have joined the wife of protests that gripped the french capital. from. that little bit of other stuff.

you can see the latest pictures from paris they are using sirens for detention because. that's you can see there is sounding names so i ring say it's just in the past in the congo does he go towards the national assembly the thing that they're unhappy about is a shame shame frog's it was implemented two months ago whereby hospitals now you decide which ambulance services front like patients to drive is a concern that might could threaten their jobs in the future so this is just the latest in a stream of protests that we've been seeing him frogs that sickly over the last few weeks out with a very visible movement and all but those you made your baby know that we don't live with very just descending into chaos in paris but it looks like those protests are set to continue at some of descried dividing hours on saturday the boom buildings burning cars the phaeton smashed shops

a new thing some of the would find the roads to see. sixty eight if. the feel. we were going to move the president might call returns home to frogs also did you. towards the summit in argentina on sunday morning and he went to assess some of the damage and the rules and give them a warm welcome. to legal.

view. while present marco and also held an emergency meeting on sunday with members of the cabinet discussed the prime minister who is holding discussions with political leaders and those you measure movement to see how they can appease those protests he also asked the end soon all be in syria minister to make sure that the security services are ready for any further mayhem and it's also be new to disability the frog's to declare a new state of emergency just a new iraq to the last one ended well who are these you lose your arms there are a movement a social movement that started just a few weeks ago agnes should be over the high cost of taxes on fuel here in france but since then they've requested to social movements there are unhappy with things

such as a 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. charlotte devinsky then our soyuz rocket is lifted off destination the international space station it is the first manned flight since a failed mission almost two months ago refreshing a witness to takeoff from the baikonur cosmodrome. right now we are just seconds away from the flight the fifty eighth expedition to the international space station is a buyout to begin with you will soon hear the engine who work again just to remind you international crew on board russian economy and a very experienced cosmonaut he has already been to space three times he's the captain of the crew an american astronaut and mcclain these will be the first slide

for her and i can now did an astronaut all server version fly before him dead the clay now you hear the engine started working. the family's space said fifty. s crust. and some for the first. i saw for the first time that i witnessed the launch from here by could her but i can say this

hole is a pure it exists and the rocket is already up in the skies just eight and a half minutes of the rocket as expected to reach the orbit and that it will take a little bit more than six hours for the crew to dollar cuisine international space station so we all here on the ground given the fingers crossed for them 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 and astronauts to the i assess well three hundred ton construction go me around two hundred fifty kilometers from earth it's whole ways of pure excitement not only for the space men there by the way already inside this to use space ship it's a wide capsule on top of the rocket also for all those watching the loan from the ground ordinary people among them believe in this is a historic moment a week this coming from all around the globe but also of course families and

friends of the crew we've talked to some of them dad told me everything he's worried about because he still intact but he said he got willing everything is going to be fine so difficult a family is the most important thing even in space. 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 so uses only new three accidents in their long history. never with fatalities but always leading to missions aborted nine hundred seventy five a nine hundred eighty three and the maze two recent one is you just mentioned happened just seven weeks ago. 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. these preparations made a loop routine they've been do need for sixteen years the rocket is assembled to look at things it's ready then transported to the long side where it's raised to her to call position and fuel then check and double tip. here on the first who are sent to space from here during good current this time is different the last two men launch didn't go well no one wants that to happen again

. to first take up started smoothly. ninety seconds into the flight something went wrong in family i hope to photograph. well suppose we take that state. he's talked to other fifty metre three hundred ton construction with. the automatic emergency system immediately aborted that mission and docked a crew capsule. instead of going to the international space station they landed in kazakhstan's and the steps hundreds of kilometers from way they had taken off just minutes earlier this will dinners is where the emergency capsule was to fortunate the crew members landed safely. the russian cosmonaut and american astronauts on a farm talking to the city on the little blue given that they fell from

a height of fifty kilometers and taken a steep police to descend on the force many times stronger than gravity some cold days and miracles. a special commission was formed do the 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. 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 me is where they put the rockets parts together has always been manually and this is where the investigators believe the sensor metal detail that big was deformed to trigger in their margin say lending the securities higher than ever extra people are invited to supervise the prices no journalists are allowed inside but we've got the video 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 or the world of the world all over the. world no no no. seven weeks after the feeler they can or is ready for the next man flight further delay could disrupt the work of the service and the crew some of their weakness their ability to launch in october see more confident than ever the russian technology that carries astronauts to the international space station you know we witnessing that event to me was actually reassuring. the smart design so using the incredible work that the people on the ground can. see it is a bit small. as any time we. took

part in the design. eight and a half mil it's off to take off the c. use is expected to reach orbit in just six hours late adopter with the international space station but this time it will feel much longer. r.t. from baikonur in kazakhstan. they are due to dock there in about a four and a half hours time now the british army has issued a top level security alert over russian t.v. journalists u.k. military media accuse him of spying after he was said to have been acting suspiciously an army facility so let's get more details now from joins us from our london bureau good afternoon polly what more can you tell us about this case. well that two more serious here is the bureau chief for russia's channel one here in london he was doing a story about the seventy seventh brigade which is sort of the cyber warfare unit of the british military it was unveiled after being rebranded back in twenty

fifteen and given how much time the british government talks about the so-called threat from russia especially coming through hybrid warfare the russian reporters interest in this unit is pretty much self-explanatory i would say so on the twenty first of november. he went to film a reporter outside of the military unit and i've spoken to him about what happened myself and he said that he and his camera man didn't try to hide the fact that they were filming on public land outside this base when they drove past the security gates they volunteered so they approached the security officials there and volunteered their press credentials take a listen to the reporter's own account of what took place. there was nothing secret about what we were doing and we didn't try to enter the territory of the military bases the daily mail claimed in reality i approached the offices of the security checkpoint identified myself and showed them my id they took photos of my do you

know my car and exactly these images were printed in the media. i have to say i really feel for tim or in this situation i have i filmed in a very much the same manner outside many different places in the u.k. as well if you're on public land you're in public land and that's that i've given my credentials to security and no one's ever leaked them to the press and suggested that i was a russian spy but that was perhaps when relations were less tense with moscow so the story making the rounds here now in the u.k. is that so-called russian t.v. spies a quarter top secret army base that was printed in the mail on sunday now listed with an accuracy festival it isn't top secret the location is on the internet for everyone to see now reportedly even b.b.c. southeast of done pieces to camera outside the very same base and the article also goes on to feature an academic who warns that all russian reporters are could be

russian spies which is a claim that frankly i find particularly terrifying and sort of indicative of the sort of hysteria the you just wouldn't expect from the u.k. and other inaccuracy is like the length of time that reporters were in the claim that the information that they have comes from c.c.t.v. footage although all the pictures that they got came from the correspondent volunteering his information himself to the security guard at the gate he did he did not trying to enter the base as some reports claim and the russian embassy in london has a bone to pick with the mail on sunday for for publishing the report says personal details take a lesson it is offensive that the per. russian journalists including their ids in the license plate of their car were made public it in danger security of russian citizens let alone the fact it's a blatant violation of the norms generally recognized in civilized countries what's

important to note here is how far this story has snowballed so it went from one initial report in the mail on sunday yesterday to a statement from the ministry of defense today from the defense secretary himself in fact gavin williamson saying we take the security of our bases and personnel incredibly seriously and he calls on members of the public to report any suspicious activity taking place outside military bases now i think the stories particularly pertinent in the british press today because it feeds into another white a story and that's that the head of m i six known as c. . in the service he's giving a speech to his old university center today a rare public speech from the head of m i six and of course it features a warning to russia not to underestimate the u.k.'s ability to counter those so-called hybrid threats so it's all part i think of this general anti russian

narrative that is well established here in the u.k. now and i'm going to write a legal disclaimer because strictly speaking and i've just consulted our media lawyer about this it is not against the law to film on public and be outside a military base many a journalist has done as i have told you in the past or low there is one caveat the military can take action against anyone acting suspiciously outside a ministry of defense site now looking at it from where i am and given the atmosphere in the country at the moment the most suspicious thing about this reporter is that he's russian. ok thank you polly that was a go there with the details of that case in london thank you. now the u.s. holds major exercises thousands of migrants move closer to the border that's among

the stories to come just after the break. join me every first week on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to give us a little world of politics sports business i'm sure i'll see you there. seemed wrong why don't we all just all. get to shape our disdain become educated and in the game equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. again now let's go back to our top story this hour because new mass demonstrations have erupted in the french capital today medics are protesting changes in work conditions and they are blocking roads and have also turned on ambulance sirens and lights to get their message across what we can talk about this a bit further to the associate professor in french and francophone studies at nottingham university paul smith poorly very welcome thanks for coming on we're here we're seeing more protests are we today becoming increasingly vocal across

france do you think their voices will be heard by the government. certainly i think the government needs to do something in a series of meetings today as you probably all already know between the prime minister. and political leaders of the various different parties and certainly the idea there is to try to bring the parties in and to talk about a potential way out of the dispute between the government and the. world so we're looking at maybe wednesday will be for some sort of concrete announcement and if you lose your own themselves or being invited you know either today or tomorrow to talk to the prime minister yeah i mean more sort of compromise could they reach because the complaints that people have a far ranging and they're all about quality of life i mean crease cost of living and what can you do with a magic wand to solve that problem. well i think the government has

a number of a number of buttons that it can push it could actually delay the implementation of the fuel tax that was kind of the spark that set the whole thing off he could also talk about raising the minimum wage their model also be the possibility certainly on the left people have talked about reintroducing the wealth tax that was abolished last year were sort of gestures that might help the broader movement of the broader sense out in rural for all. their hardships of being for the government things the government might do something about and i think that there's a great deal of pressure not just from your movement but amongst political figures such as the president of the senate. talking to. michael to urge him to at least freeze the carbon tax ok paul good to talk to we have to leave it there just one at a time but that was professor paul smith of nottingham university in the u.k. thank you. for now the u.s. the u.s.

office of customs and border protection held a major drill was that one of the border crossings with mexico on saturday comes as the so-called migrant caravan made up of thousands of people from poverty stricken central american countries continues to head towards the frontier. of this is marched in full riot gear with their helmets on holding shields and firing tear gas shells many of the migrants who are heading through the border. on jurors the migrants to say they are fleeing from poverty abject living conditions as well as crime the u.s. has been providing honduras with financial aid a nd as alleviating the situation there however has artie's kind of explains the money that has been 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 .

there 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 that the us government gives us 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 cano

a two hundred long time ago before 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.

without widespread allegations of voter fraud prompted conflicting responses from the united states with the u.s. capitol getting 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 november two thousand and six presidential elections there was a very questionable of lection 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 progressive reform united states

has been in bed with us they were crassus regime the migrants on the border feeling 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 thanks washing softening don't forget we got a website for the stories too you can find that i don't you don't go. in a world of big partisan loot. and conspiracy it's time to wake. to dig deeper to hit the stories that midstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. 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 thoughts. and. gang one of the i'm not sure it was the all. were. were originally. were. during his years serving his region is chief executioner jerry was here in the

swear they were innocent. when you hear a person going to his death be sticking out and he was innocent to the last syringe going to his body he's taken out that he was innocent on his last words as last. give me something to think about as execution and it place some doubt. there was one young man in particular washington jr. he was tried to tell society back then that he was innocent to get no one really paid no attention. in one nine hundred eighty three earl was arrested in culpepper virginia and brought in for. questioning he thought it was for a burglary he had committed the question a the buy different. and leaves it at us data.

and they than no i want to call. them out which call kept mobile. was going to dump and. after intense questioning police officers extracted a confession from her for the brutal rape and stabbing murder of a one thousand year old mother of three. at his trial experts testified that earle had an i.q. of only sixty nine and was extremely suggestible casting doubt on his confession. despite inconclusive evidence the jury found guilty and the judge sentenced him to death. he was taken to mecklenburg supermax prison in virginia. he was scared to death he was tempted he didn't want to come out of so. he's mentally retarded he couldn't read.
