which ambulance service in france will collect patients and the drivers are concerned but could threaten their jobs in the future so you could put in this law will kill all 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 will lose or could there where health company secretaries will come to support ambulance workers because if this all continuous will lose all jobs to you 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 that leaving us in the galley without work the ambulance workers will lose their jobs patients will lose out there 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 at all but as you made sure that you know that we're on the

farm now with protests descending into chaos say in paris but it looks like those protests the set to continue at some of destroyed the violence embarrass on saturday the bones buildings burned cars for a fee to smash shops in newton i some of the worst violence that france has seen since knowing two sixty eight. of the five. you've only been to. we were going and you were president mccall

a new state of emergency just the lid off to the last one ended well do all this you lose your was there a movement just social movement that started just a few weeks ago and now should be over the high cost of taxes on fuel here in france but since then they've progressed to being a social movement they're 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 he and. the british army has issued a top level security alert over a russian t.v. journalist the u.k. military and media accuse him of spying up he was said to be acting suspiciously outside an army facility is that the journalist himself explained what happened. you know 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 in the u.k. last november the 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. and then told that and with presented to the security guards were later leaked to the media despite a government thing internal. 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 when these pictures were put in the memo how they got leaked to the press i have no idea 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 look to mercer as if it is the bureau chief for 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 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 in danger 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. dunnit certainly i have no one ever leaked 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. 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 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 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 the tickle commentator john gaunt told us he thinks the security scare was linked to the poisoning of the script called. russian journalist monster a story about one of our bases that's the story did it again no t.v. show is credentials yes well his credentials for we know were there yuri said he was obviously is just nonsense i just do not understand why our government want to carry on with this this tit for tat nonsense it's all tied in with the script was isn't it we know this is all tried in with the fact that we haven't got conclusive

evidence either way it's just part of the anti or russia rhetoric and i for one as a british citizen and frankly fed up of it frankly fed up to the back three the r one jaw jaw with the russians and i'm sure most people want that rather than war war whether it's a false cold war like this or whether it's military led is just nonsense. and the crew has just entered the international space station after a six hour flight and successful docking and so it is the first mission since a failed launch almost two months ago the three person international team is headed by captain or like common anchor the russian government is three most experienced full flights already under his belt he's joined by canadian astronaut david same jacka and americas and climbed to them is their first mission in space they were welcomed by the three already there. we have our new one chancellor and commander

alexander guest who will soon head back to earth artie's maria phenomena witnessed the takeoff from russia's baikonur cosmodrome. now do you hear the engine started working. the family's space said tape to. the rocket is already out 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 he story. never agreed

fatalities would always lead into nations aborted aine nine hundred seventy five a nine hundred eighty three and the maze three seventy 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. because tempers take up started smoothly but ninety seconds into the flight something went wrong it really hoped it would happen.

while suppurating the rocket stages bumped into each other a fifty meters three hundred ton construction squid. the automatic emergency system immediately aborted the mission until. capsule. instead of going to the international space station they landed in kazakhstan's and lives steps hundreds of kilometers from way they had taken off just minutes earlier by couldn't alongside is 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 but also away from the pole to avoid victims in case of a rocket disaster this will dinner's is where they merge and see capsule with two fortunate crew members landed safely. at the rescue training as 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 the sensor so 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 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 is any time we may be said. to pardon the design but. eight and a half minutes after takeoff the sea use is expected to reach orbit in just six hours late to dock with the international space station but this time it will feel much longer. trump has said today he would like to see an end to what he called the current uncontrolled arms race criticizing the military spending of his own country. i'm certain that sometime in the future president g. indicts together with president putin of russia will still talking about

a meaningful halt to what has become a major and uncontrollable arms race the u.s. spent seven hundred sixteen billion dollars this year crazy 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 has had no problem talking up military spending and talking up the u.s. military this is donald trump will submit a new budget to rebuild our military we will give the men and women of america's armed services the resources you need beautiful new planes and beautiful new equipment you've been lacking a little equipment we're going to load it up so sixteen billion dollars more than the previous year now you would think perhaps this is to fight terrorism 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 authoritarian 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 key nuclear agreement when nobody was threatening to break it let's review. right now to here to the agreement they should have been done years ago but still people come to this and we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it

up but until they come to their senses when they do then we'll old guard and board and with and by the way i believe we'll review 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. far right party has entered a regional spanish parliament for the first time in almost forty years while the spanish socialist workers party won the majority of seats in local elections in andalusia the far right term vox party managed to buy twelve seats much to the concern of the socialist leader. there's been a real setback for the left and on the loose you with the most serious extreme right his interest in this new political looked world cycle spree and his injured

deluce 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 to see in parliament. and it is the most populous region of spain in the country's third largest economy after catalonia and madrid it has high unemployment as the main rival point in spain for migrants crossing the mediterranean coast party is a newcomer on the scene i mean this think its success could increase pressure on the spanish prime minister their sandwiches especially with the european elections approaching in may the founder of the path alone republic thing attacking told us a rise of far right movements is not a problem isolated to spain. maybe there will not now an agreement be right back we don't know but they are really important now because they out. of.

the national connection. all right probably the. it's not just the plane or in the. thing i know what. happened on me without. the money should. be one of the chance. to talk. things through and to elect nate and i think that's what happened yesterday at the beginning of the change and think that may be right but the. whole lot of representations and. there's 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 former lawyer pleaded guilty to lying to congress about a trial a tower construction project in moscow that was shelved michael cohen says he pursued the project on trans behalf in the middle of the twenty sixteen campaign

time denied any involvement saying he was too busy electioneering the russian president's spokesperson there was confirmed the kremlin was approach responded by saying it didn't deal with construction work intelligence committee chairman richard burr has said the kohen case shows you can't get away with lying to congress but now looks at how others who lied under oath garnered 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 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 and we're going to prosecute you period end of sentence 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 to 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 there 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 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. yet you faced 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. telling 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 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 lie of 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. news

this hour i'll be back in around thirty minutes time but in the meantime check out our website that's next up it's time for a documentary in the execution is. from very bad to even worse russia ukraine relations in my poem pale gives credit to the saudis for relieving suffering in yemen and use the guardian simply to see communes .

during his years serving his virginia's chief executioner jerry would here in mates swear they were innocent. when you hear a person going to be sticking out that he was. innocent to the last syringe to go into his body he's taken out that he was innocent on his last words. give me something to think about as the executioner and it place some doubt there there was one young man in particular washington jr. he was trying to tell society back then that he was innocent we get no one.
