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 it's going to give them justice and we come in and say. we've been through this this isn't the way. i'm. going. to. police fired tear gas at medics protesting in paris again on monday that's us president of. the office of the weekend's carnage in the capital. was. also coming up with a program of russian t.v. reporters accused of spying in the u.k.

by the military and the media following what was called his suspicious behavior outside an army facility. and a brand new crew arrives at the international space station six hours off the blasting off from the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan. just going for him here in moscow and i know who his thanks for joining us here on the weekly rundown off the top headlines where if you are welcome to the program police in paris have used tear gas against medics who've joined the wave of protests that have gripped the french capital the health care workers angered at financial reforms to medical transport they say they would threaten the viability of some but it's companies here you can see some of the pictures that have come out of paris on monday. the medics there using their song. as an emergency lights to

attract attention to their cause students now also joining the protests they've blocked access to dozens of high schools across the country the action follows a weekend witnessed the most violent riots in paris in half a century the term or led to president canceling a visit to serbia so he could hold emergency talks with his cabinet and french authorities are revealing some big losses from these weeks of protests from the ghetto vests shop profits for example are down by fifty percent protestors road blockades of course transport companies around four hundred million euros another four million worth of damage was done to paris on saturday alone demonstrators were running riot smashing property across the capital where yellow vests representatives have refused so far to attend talks with the prime minister they were jewels for tuesday shot to do with the reports from paris. as you can see this is sounding there so iran say it's just on the plus telecom cold as you go towards a national assembly the thing that they're unhappy about is

a change in france it was implemented two months ago whereby hospitals now decide which ambulance service in france will collect patients and the drivers are concerned but could threaten their jobs in the future so you can print 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 with staying here as long as necessary we have nothing to lose anymore loser could there where health company secretariat's would come to support ambulance workers because if this all continuous will lose all jobs to there is less work for us every single day hospitals duty even have the right to coalesce 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 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 with a very visible movement all but visit made sure they've been up to three weekends on the trot now it was very just descending into chaos here in paris and it looks like those protests are set to continue at some of describe the violence diaries on saturday the bones buildings burned cars for free to smash shops in newton by some of the worst violence that france has seen since nine to sixty eight. of the five. the food. going to.

the wedding we were going to. present marco returns home to france all to the g. twenty summit in argentina on sunday morning and he went to assess some of the damage and he will sometimes give them a warm welcome. who. wouldn't rule you can. 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 holding discussions or political leaders and those you measure movement to see how they can appease those are protests he also has 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 being new to the

possibility of the frogs to declare a new state of emergency just the laying 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 being a social movement 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 . the answer is that you have to be open to talks the protesters they want taxes to be imposed on them that was the reason for the protest the way out is to drop them our country is used to holding talks conflicts may happen and you have to know. to manage them the government has to make immediately the necessary steps to get talks with the started. the british army has issued

a top level security alert over russian t.v. journalists the military and media accuse them of spying after he was said to have been acting suspiciously outside an army facility this is how the journalist himself explained what exactly happened. there. i thought 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're being branded spice of the credentials of the journalist presented to those security guards were later leaked to the media that this was a government memo saying they were only for internal use. the defense ministry sent out a warning which contains my photograph id it's number 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. 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 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 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 i 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 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 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 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 political commentator john gaunt toller see things the security scare was linked to the poisoning of the screwballs. russian journalist monster

a story about one of our bases that's the story did it again no t.v. show his credentials yes were his credentials false no were they who reset he was obviously is just nonsense i just don't understand why our government want to carry on with this this tit for tat nonsense it's all tied in with this cripples isn't it we know this it's all tied in with the fact that we haven't got conclusive evidence either way and it's just part of the anti war russia rhetoric and i for one is a very serious one and frankly fed up of it frankly fed up to the back teeth of it are 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 spain's far right has achieved a major breakthrough putting seats in a regional parliament for the first time in iran for decades will have more on that story and others after this short break.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need

to remember it was one business show you know ford to miss the one and only. welcome back to the program a new crew has arrived at the international space station on monday after a six hour flight and successful docking so uses the first mission since that failed launch almost two months ago now the three person international team is headed by caps and can encode the russian cosmonaut as the most experienced he's got four flights already under his belt joined by canadian astronaut david sons jacques's and america's played for them it's their first mission in space they were welcomed by the three already there procopius so you know i don't come on to an

exam to guess he will had backed off this mission and witnessed the takeoff from russia's baikonur cosmodrome. now you hear the engines started working. as you. think. the rocket is already up in the skies will take a little bit more than six hours for the crew to dollar cuisia 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 read

fatalities 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 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 separating the rocket stages bumped into each other

a fifty meters three hundred ton construction was quite full the automatic emergency system immediately aborted the mission and undocked 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 by couldn't alongside 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 this will dinner's is where they merge and see capsule with two fortunate crew members 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 and believe the bleak given that they fell from a height of fifty kilometers making a steep ballistic descend under force many times stronger than gravity some cold days and miracle. a special commission was formed doing 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 the accident occurred due to a fault in a sensor this year that only happened at the assembly stage at the baikonur cosmodrome. in a way with this in that event to me was actually reassuring in that the smart design

of the so used and the incredible work of this witness to people on the ground that can do i really do every every village i went inside out. sudley safe is a bit small. then i have to say as any time i wish it may be said i could take part in the design. donald trump has said he would like to see an end to what he called an uncontrollable global arms race and them entered his country's huge military spending. 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 was submitted 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 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 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 until people come to this and we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up until they come to their senses when they do then we'll old guard it won't stop

and will and by the way not only will reduce 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. independent political analyst alessandro bruno told us trump's mecurio approach to foreign policy is not doing us any favors. prompts diplomacy as sort of introduced in his book the art of the deal is this rug that he goes in he may give you a compliment one day and then completely break you down the next year promises to improve relations with russia greatly so far i haven't seen any evidence of it and even the. nuclear the nuclear peace with north korea seems to be

stalling so everything tells me that military spending will continue as planned if not more trouble will be more for the united states than for our foreign partners because now trump has lost his negotiating advantage because people will be able to read him much more clearly. never take him at face value always understand that he's playing some kind of game. a 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 and that was here the far right vox party i wish to back twelve seats much of the concern of the socialists 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 has interest in this new political look tural cycle in spain and has 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 spain and those in parliament. lucier is the most populous region of spain the country's third largest economy after madrid is quite high unemployment rate is the main rival point in spain for migrants crossing the mediterranean vox parties a newcomer on the scene and analysts think its success could increase pressure on the spanish prime minister federal centers especially with the european elections approaching in may at what tio founder of the barcelona and republic think tank thought was the rise of far right movements isn't the problem i suppose spain. maybe they will not now and that we may be right back we don't know but they are really important now because they out. of their own nation make sure that there is a generational connection to all of our great politics now so. it's not

just the main or in the n.w. or a lot more from anything i know will happen on me because we have. a money. election and elections. so. there are things to learn to elect in and i think that's what happened yesterday at the beginning of the change in spain that may be. right but he will have a lot of representation so. that's it for myself on the team for this hour join us again at five am moscow time for all those latest global news updates. join me every closely on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to get a feel of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you that

. is finding this out a need. an authorized by you can gouge and down the toilet. yes this time i didn't have. to employ him to go to the bridge. from which i got. the most almost the whole cd i mean look if you get good and you know has a funny way you. get out. and write down the bankroll for the work on the base walk or chemical lights and this is going to go he would develop a new treatment there in ten minutes no mockers no that these industries polluting you had to simply ignore the money that time and money. and the mother of the means we lost even this.

you know we have all the one player nation history and they're setting prices and there's no more market setting the prize market failure and you have what happened to the union and ironically the soviet union now russia is moving toward where america was the one nine hundred fifty s. with more like an hour and now you've got the current administration moving towards soviet union behaving more like you know russia. during his years serving is regina's chief executioner jerry would hear in the swear they were innocent. when you hear

a person going to his death sticking out and he was innocent the last syringe to go into his body he's taken out that he was innocent on his last words as last. give me something that thank about as the execution and it place some doubt there there was one young man in particular washington jr. he was five zero society back then that he was innocent to get no one really paid no attention. in one thousand nine hundred three earl was arrested in cope up or virginia and brought in for questioning he thought it was for a burglary he had committed. to question the buy different. and will use it as data. and they've done no i want to quote him out of which call couple. was going to dump and.

after intense questioning police officers extracted a confession from earl 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 a 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 he couldn't write i walked in to the cell and canadian thing.
