now russia is moving toward where america was the one nine hundred fifty s. with more like an hour and you got the current administration moving towards soviet union behaving more like you know russia. from very bad even worse russia ukraine relations in my palm pale gives credit to the saudis for relieving suffering in yemen and is the guardian simply the commune's. to gas in spite of medics protesting in paris again on monday that as president. well surveying the aftermath of the weekend's carnage in the capital. was. also the russian t.v.

reporter was accused of spying in the u.k. by the military and also the media following what was called his suspicious behavior i've side an army facility found a three person crew is on its way see international space station they're almost there the soyuz rocket lifted off without a hitch almost two months on from a failed launch pull. oh they're just going seven pm here in moscow you're watching international it's good to have you company. now police in paris have used tear gas against medics who've joined the wave of protests that have gripped the french capital he can see some of the pictures which have come out of paris today the medics have been using their sirens and emergency lights to trucked attention to their cause students have

also joined the protest blocking access to dozens of high schools across france the action follows a weekend that witnessed the most violent riots in paris in half a century or to charlotte devinsky has more details. as you can see this sounding there's so ironies here just in the past on the concorde as you go towards the national assembly the thing that there are unhappy about is a change in france it was implemented two months ago whereby hospitals now decide which ambulance service in france was elected patients and the drivers are concerned but did threaten their jobs in the future so you could put in this law will kill small ambulance companies and big corporations will take over smaller companies like ours have invested a lot of money will disappear overnight and no one will help us we're staying here as long as necessary we have nothing to lose any more loser could there where health company secretaries will come to support ambulance workers because if this

all continuous will lose our jobs to there is less work for us every single day hospitals duty even have the right to call us and give us work the prime minister the governments will do nothing for us nothing there leaving us in the galley without work the ambulance workers will lose their jobs patients will lose out now this is just the latest in a stream of protests that we've been seeing here in frogs that sickly over the last few weeks with a very visible movement but this should make sure they've been up to three weekends on the job now as we've heard just descending into chaos here in paris but it looks like those protests are set to continue at some of descried divided stuporous on saturday the soon to buildings bill. and cause their feet to smash chops a new team has some of the worst violence prone to seen since nineteen sixty eight the fact that the feet

of. the family. the from going to. going to. the wedding we were going to move while president michael returned home to france also 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. you know.

well present marco and also held an emergency meeting on sunday with members of the cabinet he's just the prime minister withholding discussions of political leaders and losing measure movement to see how they can appease those of protests fuel source the and soon will be in syria minister to make sure that the security services are ready for any food the mayhem i mean it's also be new to the possibility of the frogs to declare a new state of emergency just the looming off to the last one ended well who all this you measure 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. fastidious social movements there aren't happy with things such as the high unemployment rate here in france as well as the high cost of living and they say it's a could see their protests yet another demonstration expected to take place on saturday

. this. levinsky there will be associate professor in french in francophone studies at nothing mean of this thing in the u.k. paul smith believes america initially underestimated the protests. was rather hoping. it will be on the protester that moderate for all would not support the general protests in the way that they have and there's been a public opinion poll this morning that says seventy two percent of french people actually support. michael knows that there is a general malaise that needs to be addressed that goes far deeper in the violent top level as it were that we're seeing in paris we've seen that today with destroyed by ambulance drivers that's sort of on protest that is people with what they regard as a legitimate grievance sort of shit i'm a problem so my call has has misjudged i think the movement but now he's trying to

do something about it the action against protesters it depends on whether we're thinking about protestors or whether we think that the people who are in custody at the moment are actually protesters or if they're actually provocateurs because there's been quite a lot of evidence that the ultra right and the ultra left are simply joining the demonstration in order to cause for the trouble and then you've got the issue of delinquent elements turning up to throw stones at policeman. and his prime minister in the interior minister will do is trust the legal jew legal process to be carried out. and the british army has issued a top level security alert over russian t.v. journalist the u.k. military and media accuse him of spying after he was said to have been acting suspiciously and side an army facility this is how the journalist himself explained what happened. well i would very much want to know what exactly happened we're

being accused of espionage while we were just doing our job we didn't break any u.k. laws on november twenty second and i remember that day perfectly well it's been mentioned in the mail on sunday article we went to the military base which is one hundred kilometers from london that's location of brigade seventy seven we did a package about it we drove by the base stopped approached the security guards i introduced myself presented my id they took pictures of my documents my car then we recorded my piece to camera we recorded it on a professional video camera we didn't try to get inside the base something claimed by the mail on sunday we made our intentions clear that we wanted to film outside and that's exactly what we did instead we being branded spies. all the credentials the germans presented to the security guards were later leaked to the media despite a government memo saying for internal use only. the defense ministry sent

out a warning which contains my photograph i.d.'s number and my car plates these are the documents i presented to the security guards at the base that's when they took pictures and these pictures were put in the memo how they got leaked to the press i have no idea but what's important is that in this memo if you look closely there's a note for internal use only despite that this secret memo is now all over the media to more serious here is the bureau chief of russia's channel one in london and he was doing a story about the seventy seventh brigade which is sort of the cyber warfare unit for the british military and considering that the british government spends quite a lot of time talking about the so-called russian threat and the threat from hybrid warfare and russian reporters interested in this brigade is pretty much south explanatory so please take a listen to the reporters at count of what happened. we sent an

inquiry to the defense ministry there's a formal now website but we didn't get any response filming near the base is not illegal it's a public area of public land you don't need permission to film there you need permission to get inside talk to the stuff we didn't record our interaction with the security personnel we didn't try to penetrate the base b.b.c. correspondent did the exact same thing as us it was broadcast and no one thinks of punishing him there's nothing illegal and yet this story printed in the mail on sunday yesterday had the headline russian t.v. spies a court at top secret army base now first of all it's not top secret you can get its location pretty much very easily but with two clicks on the internet the article also goes on to feature an academic who warns that all reporters working for russian news channels are potential spies which is a claim that frankly i find absolutely terrifying and the russian embassy is also

upset that the reporters personal details have been published online it is offensive that the personal data of russian journalists including their ids in the license plate of their car were made public it endangered security of russian citizens let alone the fact that it's a blatant violation of the norms generally recognized in civilized countries and this wasn't an isolated news report in fact the stories really snowballed it was printed originally yesterday but it's been reprinted by most of the newspapers here in the u.k. today and now even the defense secretary gavin williamson has made a statement about it he's called on members of the public to report any suspicious activity outside of british military bases and allow me to add a little legal disclaimer strictly speaking and i've just consulted our media lawyer about this it isn't against the law to. film on public land even if it is

just outside a military base many a journalist has done it certainly i have no one ever leak to my press credentials or accuse me of being a russian spy in the process but there is an important caviar in terms of the law the military can take action against anyone acting suspiciously outside a british military base now looking at it from where i am and given how tense relations between the u.k. and russia are at the moment the most suspicious thing about this reporter is that he is a russian citizen working for a russian news channel. it is lifted off destination the international space station it is in fact the first manned flight since a failed mission almost two months ago three person international crews headed by an anchor the russian cosmonaut is the most experienced on board with four flights

already under his belt and he's joined by the canadian astronaut david son jack's and also america's mcclain for them it is their mission in space. witness to take off from the baikonur cosmodrome you know you hear the engines started working . the five year space set fifty years ago. let's go. to. the rocket is already up in the skies will take a little bit more than six hours for the crew to dollar cuisine international space station's but today's launch is far from routine one why the thing is that so uses

only new three accidents in their long history. never a week for talent is but always leading to missions aborted a in nineteen seventy five a nine hundred eighty three in the maze two recent one happened just seven weeks ago in october during the last manned flight and here's my report on why today's launch is so different and so important. that sobers takeoff started smoothly but ninety seconds into the flight something went wrong it really hoped it would have been. while

suppurating the rocket stages bumped into each other a fifty meters three hundred ton construction was quite bold the automatic emergency system immediately aborted the mission and undock to. capsule. instead of going to the international space station they landed in kazakhstan is and liz steps hundreds of kilometers from way they had taken off just minutes earlier by colonel orange side is intentionally remote back in the nineteen fifties at the height of the cold war it was a practical necessity to hide the spaceport away from prying western eyes but also away from the pole to avoid victims in case of a rocket disaster but this wilderness is where they merge and see capsule with two fortunate crewmembers landed safely. at the rescue

training is part of an obligatory routine before every launch helicopters jeeps navigation systems are involved and people are in how to coordinate to find the crew quickly and they stunt their skills saved two lives. the russian cosmonaut and american astronaut seemed unharmed after the incident on the little blue given that they 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 investigate what went wrong three weeks later they reached a conclusion a sensor that was supposed to detect the separation of the stagers was faulty but it surely 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 of the baikonur cosmodrome .

in a way witnessing that event to me was actually reassuring in the smart design over the so use and the incredible work of this witness who people here on the ground can do i really do every every village i went inside. the safe is a bit small. so there's any time they wish they. could take part in the design but. eight and a half minutes after takeoff the sea use is expected to reach orbit in just six hours later dock with the international space station but this time it will feel much longer and. refreshing to report in there and all being well they should be up at the international space station in around an hour's time so to come for you over the next few minutes the u.s. holds major exercises thousands of migrants move closer to the border but among the

stories just after the break. join me every thursday on the all excitement short and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that. what holds us do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something i want to. get it right to be close this is what the four three in the morning can people get

. interested in the waters at michael. jackson. welcome back you without saying that the u.s. office of customs and border protection held major drills at one of the border crossings with mexico over the weekend it comes as the so-called migrant caravan made up of thousands of people from poverty stricken central american countries continues to head towards the front. i feel. offices marched in full

riot gear with their helmets on holding shields and also firing tear gas shells many of the migrants who are heading towards the border come from honduras migrants say that they are fleeing from poverty abject living conditions as well as crime and the u.s. has been providing an joris with financial aimed at aid a nd levy ating the situation there however is 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 . they have to they're going to use literally 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 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 or so 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. 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 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 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 twenty sixth presidential elections there were. 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. the united states has not been on the side of the hunter and people has not been on the side of positive progressive reform you know just as has been in dead west they were crassus 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 caleb mop and r.t. new york. when it comes to gun control in the u.s.

it's normally a lack of action by authorities particularly after mass shootings which makes headlines around the globe but it was the reverse actually for one student who by exercising her right to bear arms was asked to move out of her 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 her firearms it would be best for all power. she finds another place to live well apparently is a twenty four year old harvard student spatter up today after her roommates complained to the landlord they didn't feel comfortable with firearms on the property but after they went through her things and found the 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 believed in the apartment without incident she thinks there is another reason perhaps 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 sad that you had to make america great again had and come on you from alabama so we just kind of assumed that you had some. well it's not the first time that owners of make america great again baseball caps have faced problems. we are very this is very good against you and particularly that in my view they're going to gather everybody to go to another classroom and remain here. or you think your head off or you know it's going to if you know what he wanted to. reason do you like your friend and i'm with you like you got it you know where. or why did you decide or no sir that's a terrible question i'm simply

a donkey crank supporter who also happens to want to quality from what i've read they say 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 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 mcdonald's to people driving in their car with their truck bumper sticker on it being attack to people wearing a hat or shirt a make america great sure they get physically beat not could you imagine what would have happened if somebody wearing an obama had a wear an obama t. shirt had ever been beaten that they would have led the news for days. washington

say that's your news wrap for this out don't forget that you can also keep yourself updated on our social media pages and you tube channel. when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be newlin the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying there's just no way that hasn't been that we're even many of the times 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 want that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. in a world of big partners who've lost friends and conspiracies 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 back 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.

that was. hello and welcome to crossfire all things considered i'm peter lavelle from very bad to even worse russia ukraine relations and pale gives credit to the saudis for
