thank you. thank you thank you thank you i. take us is fired at medics protesting in paris again on monday president. while surveying the often off of the weekend's college in the capital. a russian t.v. reporter is accused of spying in the u.k.

by the military and media following what was called his suspicious behavior and me facility. and a new crew has arrived at the international space station after the soyuz rocket blasted off a few hours ago and made a successful docking in orbit report. with us. here in moscow and you're watching all t. international live from a studio with me welcome to the program. police in paris have used a tear gas against the medics who've joined the wave of protests that gripped the french capital the health care workers are angered at financial reforms to medical transport which they claim would threaten the viability of some companies can see some of the pictures which have come out of paris today the medics have been using

their sirens are limited supplies for attract attention to the course students have also joined the protest blocking access to dozens of high schools across. the action follows a weekend that witnessed the most violent riots in paris and half a century president has now canceled an international visit to hold emergency talks with his cabinet are to charlotte duke has all the details. as you can see this sounding there's so iran's here just in the past in the concord 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 my colleagues patients and the drivers are concerned but right now their jobs in the future. small ambulance companies and big corporations will take over companies like ours have invested a lot of money will disappear overnight no one will help us we're staying here as

long as necessary we have nothing to lose anymore loser could there were health company secretaries would 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 do t.v. and 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 very visible. oh but those e-mails your baby know that we we didn't lose on the song now it was very just descending into chaos hate in paris that you psychos protest the set to continue at some of describe the violent hours of saturday the boom buildings build cars for a fee to smash shops a new thing high some of the worst violence prone to seen since nine to sixty eight

the fact that the feet of. the for. the for the good. going. we were going to move well 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 kids are no more mild.

moodle. you know. oh well president mccone also held an emergency meeting on sunday with members of the cabinet he stressed the prime minister with holding discussions with 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 and it's also be new to the possibility of the frogs to declare. a new state of emergency just a year after the last one ended well you all did you lose yours there are movement just social movement that started just a few weeks ago now should be over the high cost of taxes on fuel here in france but since then they've progressed to do 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're set to continue their protest yet another demonstration expected to take place on saturday in paris. the british army has issued a top level security alert over a russian t.v. journalist he came military and media accuse him of spying after he said he was said to have been acting suspiciously outside an army facility this is how the journalist himself explained what happened. 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 has 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 spice. credential third journalist presented to the security guards were later leaked to the media despite a government of malice saying in turn. that 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 timorous or as if it 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 units 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 self-explanatory the russian embassy is also upset that the reporters personal deeds. 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 it's a 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 caveat hair in terms of the law the military can take action against anyone acting suspiciously outside a british military base. we sent an inquiry to the defense ministry there's a formal no 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 that punishing him is nothing illegal and yet the story printed in the mail on sunday yesterday had the headline russian t.v. spies a court at top see. crit 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 art school 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 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. a three person international crew has just successfully doctor at the international space station after a six hour flight the soyuz is the first mission since the launch almost two months ago the three person international crews headed by captain on a colony of the russian cosmonaut more than does the most experience with flights already under his belt he's joined by canadian astronaut david son jack and america's playing for them is their first mission in space roof and witnessed the takeoff from the baikonur cosmodrome you know you hear the engines started working . if you space said fifty years ago. let's go.

to the rocket is already out there 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 there alone he story. never agreed fatalities would always lead into missions aborted ain nine hundred seventy five a nine hundred eighty three in the maze two recent one happened just seven weeks ago in october during the last man flight and here's my report on why today's launch is so different and so important.

the tabors takeoff started smoothly but ninety seconds into the flight something went wrong to failure to photograph. while separating the rocket stages bumped into each other a fifty meters three hundred ton construction was quick. the automatic emergency system immediately aborted the mission until. capsule. instead of going to the international space station they landed in kazakhstan is and lives steps hundreds of kilometers from way they had taken off just minutes

earlier by couldn't alongside intense in the 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 we're told so away from people to avoid victims in case of a rocket disaster this will dinner's is where they merges the capsule with two fortunate crew members landed safely. in the rescue training as part of an ability to receive before every launch helicopters jeeps navigation systems are involved and people are in how to coordinate to find crew quickly and based on their skills saved two lives. the russian cosmonaut and american astronaut unharmed off to the sit in on the little blue given that they fell from a height of fifty kilometers and you can use the police to descend on deforest many

times stronger than gravity in some cold days and miracle. 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 but it surely the reason behind the failure was operational it was the actual image of a forward in a sensor so that this could only happen at the assembly stage of the baikonur cosmodrome. in a way with this in that event to me was actually reassuring. the smart design or the so use and the incredible work that 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. as any time. to party. eight and

a half minutes after takeoff the seat use is expected to reach orbit and just six hours later to talk with the international space station this in time will feel much longer and he. has said today to see an end to what he called the current uncontrolled criticizing the military spending of his own country. sometime in the future president it's a good with president putin of russia will start talking about a meaningful halt to what has become a major uncontrollable arms race the u.s. spent seven hundred sixteen billion dollars this year crazy. more on the story caleb moore joins us live from new york kaleb another day another tweet from president trump that's perhaps surprised that more than a few give us more details well with donald trump you just

don't know his reputation over the course of the last two years in the oval office has been one of rather unpredictable behavior now in august he signed a bill for seven hundred sixteen billion dollars in pentagon spending now that is sixteen billion dollars more than in twenty eighteen but now he says military spending is crazy and throughout this time he's had no problem talking up military spending and talking up the u.s. military this is donald trump. our military which is by far the most powerful anywhere in the world powerful anywhere in the world is ready if this is and has been greatly enhanced recently as you well know as you well know ready we are more ready than we have ever been before our military as you know has been greatly enhanced greatly enhanced will soon be at a level that it's never been before never been before powerful anywhere in the

world a lot of things can happen. so sixteen billion dollars more than the previous year now you would think perhaps this is to fight terrorism and against the rise of terrorism around the world well according to the secretary of defense actually this increase is due to russia and china let's take a listen but we will continue to prosecute the campaign against terrorists that we're engaged in today but great power competition not terrorism is now the primary focus of u.s. national security we face growing threat from revisionist powers as different as china and russia or from each other nations that do seek to create a world consistent with their a for a carry on models pursuing veto authority over and other nations economic diplomatic and security decision now trump says he doesn't want a new arms race however he did pull out of a very keen nuclear agreement when nobody was threatening to break it let's review

. russia has not appeared to the agreement they should have been done years ago but still people come to this and says we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up until they come to this and when they do then we'll all be barred and won't stop and by the way not only will we do. now when it comes to china trump likes to emphasize that he and china's president xi are good friends however he's been imposing a huge number of tariffs on china and there have been a number of military drills in the south china sea furthermore you know there's also the annual nato drills right on russia's doorstep but he says he wants to get along with russia as well let's review these drills that are taking place.

now after all this action we now see donald trump on twitter speaking up complaining about high military spending and envisioning kind of a rosy future where washington moscow and beijing walk down the yellow brick road together in peace and harmony however he could reverse himself this is donald trump and he is known to be rather unpredictable. peace and harmony caleb maupin live from new york trying to kind of. the far right parties and to a regional spanish pawn them and for the first time in almost forty years while the

spanish socialist workers party won the majority of seats in local elections in on the news the far right to vote party managed to find twelve seats much to the concern of the socialist leader. the official reaction there's been a real sad back for the left and under the most serious thing is that the extreme right his interest in this new political looked world cycles plea and his interdependent loose in parliament for the first time this phenomenon which has been taking place in the rest of europe and the world has now reached the end loose in parliament. and lucy it is the most populous region of spain in the country's third largest economy after catalonia and the trade it has high unemployment and its main arrive in spain for my crossing the mediterranean the vox party is a new comer on the scene and analysts think its success credit increased pressure on the spanish prime minister had first especially with the european elections

approaching in may edward fear founder of the art alone and republic think tank told us the rise of far right movement is not a problem isolated to spain. maybe there will be now and we may be right back we don't know but they are really important now because they out. of their. sure there's a generational connection. all right politics now so. it's not just the plane or in the oral or more commonly thing i mean or. maybe just. not the money should. be an election. so there are a lot there are things to elect. and i think that's what happened yesterday at the beginning of the change instinct may be right but the.

representations are. fresh momentum among us democrats in their efforts to probe donald trump's alleged ties to russia during the twenty sixteen presidential elections. after his four former lawyer pleaded guilty to lying to congress about a trump tower construction project in moscow that was shelved michael cohen says he pursued the project on trams the whole of in the middle of the twenty sixteen campaign trail denied any involvement saying he was too busy electioneering the russian president's spokesperson though has confirmed the kremlin was approached responded by saying it didn't deal with construction work. intelligence committee chairman richard burr said the current case shows you can't get away with lying to congress but a whole can set how others who lived under current far less 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 of the president's closest allies lying about their ties to russia and russians if you lie to us we're going to get you it will prosecute you. cohen 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 of the past year that hasn't been a single collateral death because of the exceptional proficiency precision of the capability 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 damage when reports of civilian deaths were being received both by the president and intelligence services as far as the allegations of 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 his former n.s.a. had james clapper accounting to a senate select committee on n.s.a. spying programs does the n.s.a.

collect any type of data and a millions or hundreds of millions of americans. no sir yet he faced no charges for a statement he himself admitted was rony us and even the man now in charge of the russia collusion probe former f.b.i. chief bob mueller 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 truth of the human condition. everybody lies. telling parents about what the press to 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 to do things to lie or get a deal from the special prosecutors will tell that lie guy is worthless as a witness and is worthless as someone you can build a case around won't stop moeller from trying but he's built his house on sand. news this hour i'll be back in there on thirty minutes time but in the meantime go to our web site that's artie dot com and check out our latest stories next that it's going underground.
