trying to quell fears of a weeks of violence by offering an olive branch to his angry nation after four weekends of nationwide protests emanuel mccrone made a dramatic statement. i am declaring a state of economic and social emergency i got some of my share of responsibility. initial attempts to appease the revolt failed the so-called yellow vest protests continued even when the government scrapped a fuel tax hike in his first public address since the unrest mccrone bowed to other demands like tax concessions and a minimum wage rise. upon the path to success possibility i accept my share of the responsibility of would an innocent may have given the impression that it wasn't my concern that i had other priorities i also know that my words may have hurt some of the people very humble tone of speech from president my corner as he addressed the french nation on monday evening saying that people had legitimate

right to protest but there was no legitimate want for the violence that had been seen over the last the weeks also warned the country was facing a social and economic crisis rahul because of this crisis i want to reconcile with you salaries will increase by one hundred euros and twenty nine teams at no extra cost to employers because an overtime will not be taxed and i will ask all employees to pay an end of year bonus this will not be taxed and there will be no social payments or a pension is receiving less than two thousand euros the tax increase will be cancelled as we had planned but many people will be questioning why it took president almost four weeks to address the nation many people saying this address should have come much much before and wondering why it took so much violence before he decided to address the problem directly.

will these measures these offerings be enough well it's difficult to say but one thing that many of the protesters may not be happy with is the fact that my call refused to roll back on one of the taxes that they wanted changes these were the

reforms that he made to the wealth tax on a more about a motive not that he didn't want someone me to go back on the wealth tax this is been around for forty years and it has caused people to leave our country we can't go back we want we need to create jobs that it speaks to the nation on monday night described by many as being my poems moment of truth will it be enough to quell the social tensions the the people who are unhappy here in france the solutions to stop them from taking to the streets once more i think he's getting scared and he's feeling the heat and that's it he has lost all credibility and people don't trust him and must leave to go very nice speech but i don't trust him at all and we need proof in any case we're staying here as long as we don't have clear science so i could thirteen minutes since november seventeenth that's not a lot of minutes compared to the number of days we've been here but there were

a few reassuring elements who took one big first step here is many more to take. they have asked protesters and not the only ones who have demands for mccracken students opposing academic changes are expected to stage a new round of demonstrations later on tuesday independent journalist robert thomas believes his big concessions president mccrone is offering will not be enough to end the deep civil unrest in france he's got to solve this problem we can't have a situation every weekend where more. smashing tells her she. that cannot be allowed to continue. if you can change the strategy is he really great european well if he continues with these policies of expanding money then he has to change his policy regarding the euro an already the euro t. shirt exploding so you see suddenly going to turn it back on your so what the

germans are now. we just have to go our own way i don't know i mean it's it's the implications of what you start massive because it means he's completely turned away from the policies and would you would you go elected. fearing for her future the british prime minister has cancelled a crucial vote on her breaks it deal the house of commons was set to decide at it this tuesday to resume a will meet with the e.u. leaders in attempts to rescue the dail seeking assurances over issues like the irish border which has hinted to much of the you know they go she asians she admitted that they can still vote spared her a major defeat and may faces increasing pressure in westminster but this is very carefully to what has been said in this chamber and in the. from listening to those views it is clear that while there is broad support for many of the key aspects of it he was. asked this house wants to deliver

bricks it. if she doesn't take on board the fundamental changes required then she must make way for those who can families across this house don't want your deal does she not realize how can your check and when articulates this make you know. this isn't a government in control fail again fail to exercise is what her time wasting to like simply reckless what has been the portable the pain and angst. until the last two years what the heck is going on air i cheers for eight true but not the prime minister is better than a bad prime minister. the chaotic atmosphere in the house of commons was a piss in my eyes by one m.p. getting thrown out of the he picks up the parliament's ceremonial mace in protest.

the regime was. the go to mace technically must be president for u.k. parliament to meet and pass laws as a symbol of the monologues for say the m.p. claimed it was a symbolic gesture in defiance of the chaos in the chamber. or since the brics a referendum back in the summer of twenty sixteen the issue has divided an stirred controversy amongst the british public and politicians r.t. is probably boyko takes a look at how it all started here's the moment it began to sink in for the british media we can now say the decision taken in one thousand nine hundred seventy five by this country to join the common market has been reversed by this referendum to leave the. we are absolutely clear that there is no way that the remains side can win or can it it's two and a half years since britain voted to leave the european. but the prospect of staying

in that club is higher than ever how did it get to this. it how do the rather straightforward the country advantage this is an historic moment from which there can be no turning back and brussels mr paine sean created. that. can be concluded quickly. bendish the negotiations began in charge away for a year until they hit a couple of major stumbling blocks. the thorny issue of the irish border as well as future trade brought out bluster from one side suggested framework for economic cooperation. and provide a from the other let nobody be in any doubt that as i've always said you know we are preparing for new deal ministers left mase side in the e.u.

faced with anti european movements across the continent wasn't just going to roll over so when it deal between london and brussels was finally struck last month john made it clear if this board in the european union change the fundamental gives you shit becomes easy solution back home to reason may's deal any united politicians of all stripes against it faced with losing the vote by a landslide to reason may called it off at the eleventh hour and much to the outrage of politicians failed to set a new date somehow a house voted to debate this we wanted to vote to meet the people expected us to vote on it and the government have a governing runaway and did it in the toilets this is the ultimate humiliation for the leader of the house years for this prime minister and how we could look the

house of the other night and try to suggest the pain this is business as usual is quite extraordinary half constituents are watching this farce with bewilderment in the newsman with no idea of how this country is being run and because we didn't host comes up with new way forward for all of us the message from many angling the hard drugs it is in her own policy is that she can't improve a rotten deal which although not exactly in those words also happens to be the message from brussels i have decided to call european council meeting on thursday we will not renegotiate the deal including the backstop but we are. to discuss how to facilitate u.k. ratification as time is running out we will also discuss a preparedness for a new deal snorri so instead of surviving a historic parliamentary vote to resign may's had to endure historic humiliation and by failing to reschedule the date of the vote she's been accused of running

away from democracy and the answer is the u.k. moves ever closer to the twenty ninth of march the official date of britain's departure from the e.u. that means that m.p.'s are going to be under even more pressure to approve what perhaps they consider to be a bad deal just to avoid a disastrous no deal scenario that if to resume a survives as leader and doesn't get ousted by either her own party or through a vote of no confidence which incensed opposition parties say they're now planning that could force a general election and considering the current state of disarray a party promising a second referendum to potentially reverse bragg's it could win popular support and emergency debate is still expected to take place later this tuesday in the house of commons but of course without the vote we'll be staying across all the drugs that developments as theresa may heads to berlin to meet the dutch and german leaders

earlier we spoke to various political analysts about more possible twists and turns ahead. this is not bricks that she's proposing and therefore a good one hundred of our own m.p.'s will never vote for whatever reassurance as she brings back it's a bit it's a bit like general and waving his piece of paper promising peace in our time the leaders clearly smell blood this meld blood in the form of a second referendum which they hope would lead to a reversal of the last referendum result whether or not they're right about that it would still leave millions of people very bitter and angry it would risk social peace in britain if the first referendum is somehow i'm not old we don't want to see on a border certainly not on the island of ireland and not in the area she either the majority here in the north of ireland forty two or in me and that is absolute right down across discreetness

a to force us to accept the european union if we accept on the terms that the black city years or the t p s's mayor's race wish then it will mean a return to a hard border of well me diminishing the undermanning of the good friday agreement which of course is the underpins our peace process will mean that it's jobs will be gotten investment it will be lost it's very we will jeopardize the progress that we have me in terms of our police progress on in terms of reconciliation over twenty years. a russian citizen charged with being an illegal foreign agent in the united states has followed a request to change the innocent plea but we are both snow was arrested in july this year and is now reported expected to file a guilty plea after her lawyers struck a deal with the u.s. prosecutors. to define annmarie ability now by council and a government by through its attorney respectfully filed this joint motion to set a change of plea hearing in the above caption matter and request

a hearing at the court's earliest convenience maria bits in the allegedly infiltrated groups like the national rifle organization to gain political influence for russia she's been held in solitary confinement since her arrest and a written statements to r.t. maria's father dismissed the allegations against his daughter and cast doubt on reports of her plea with a plea deal with prosecutors there have been media reports on an upcoming pleads eales between maria and us federal prosecutor says i have no such information and any such claims without possession of the case materials and nothing but speculation maria will not falsely admit to violating the law the reports that she is due to get us citizenship appear fantasy or simply lies from the media or elsewhere we are critically short of money for maria boots in his legal defense and we need support during three out of the five months of maria's detention she's been in solitary confinement because in his psychological and physical harm it's hard to

tell how long a person can in just such torture here in a labor rights lawyer done cavallo x. as the motivation for this case and his timing are clear these charges were always politically motivated i think they don't have anything on her and that's why they're left with a pretty nice new charge but again i think they press these charges and they pressed him at a time when it was very politically sensitive to frankly bolster the whole russia gate scandal which is frankly gone nowhere but they continue to add you know secondary terror shiri charges to make it look like something's there she's been treated very badly in jail kept isolated she's also been subject to regular body cavity search searches which she has claimed amounts of sexual certainly appear to be. still to come the ukrainian leader is criticized for a controversial photo not exactly referring to him but more of who and what tasted

next to us after the break stay with us. thank . thank. you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to. get it right.

this is what. real people. are still using the law. to. welcome back a picture of the ukrainian president posing with paratroopers has caused shock and surprise the image shows petro poroshenko lined up alongside ukraine's elite troops but if you take a closer look at one soldier you can see the insignia of a nazi s.s. death division we asked the presidential administration of ukraine to comment on the photos so far they've chosen not to respond the division made up a part of

a possible nazi germany's military during the second world war it was initially formed from concentration camp guards and was believed to be involved in the mass murder of polish civilians and the massacre of british soldiers. during the battle of france and this is not the first case nazi imagery has appeared among the ukrainian forces the as old battalion which is a ukrainian national guard regiment uses a logo very similar to another nazi german military symbol however officials in kiev have to night but has any connection. to the borough. the be . the you the elite. the.

still of president of the media company your voice america thinks the ukrainian leader may be pandering to far right movements to gain their support ahead of next year's election. what i was trying to do is curry favor with the folks that he believes are going to support him in his reelection coming in january he's not polling very strongly he's also looking potentially to gain access to armament to defend his position and maintain martial law by reaching out across into nato and while nato allies might think that they are protecting a sovereign nation when in fact they're doing is they're going to eventually fund and arm a nazi coalition that will again repeat history from what we saw in nazi germany if they need to to take a page out of what we do in this country which is we are constantly monitoring for far right activity in our own military forces ukrainians need to do the same thing

particularly in this instance is maintain vigilance for that far right movement because we do not want to see a repeat of what happened in world war two the amount of far right movement you're seeing in the ukraine is so minuscule that it's not going to necessarily create problems today but the problem with that is there's no such thing as a little bit of cancer a little bit of cancer if it's ignored it gets to be a bigger piece of cancer and we saw that back in nazi germany and this is the beginning of what can potentially be another history repeating itself story. the pentagon has acknowledged that millions of dollars in u.s. taxpayers money has been lost to the saudi led campaign in yemen now despite recent polls suggesting that americans have a negative view on the military operation the u.s. defense department put the huge loss down to accounting error as it came to light after the atlantic magazine obtained information from the defense department's. picks up the story. what comes to dealing with america's allies the trumpet

ministration has one great fear paying too much money you want to say maybe you can have to pay many nations ovett sums of money from past years and it is very unfair to the united states they're not paying their bills well there is one war in which the united states has been paying well beyond its fair share according to the department of defense saudi airplanes and airplanes from the united arab emirates have been refueling themselves at the expense of the american taxpayers apparently it's all due to an accounting error u.s. central command recently reviewed its records and found errors in accounting where the department of defense for to charge the saudis adequately for fuel and refueling services now it's quite an expensive mistake the costs are still being added up but apparently it's in the millions of dollars u.s.

aerial refueling assistance was provided to the saudi led coalition for more than three point five use activities that likely cost tens of millions of dollars we must ensure that u.s. taxpayers a fully reimbursed for that support the united states uses k c one thirty five strato tankers and casing ten extenders to refuel planes mid air a mere hour of work with these aircraft cost over ten thousand dollars now these refueling were stopped in mid november but that was after over two thousand operations had been carried out in which the united states was helping the saudis to wage their war against yemen and that is not a popular war seventy five percent of the u.s. public according to the latest polling doesn't want the country to be involved but u.s. government officials seem to think differently we do believe that the support for the coalition is necessary it sends a wrong message if we discontinue our support but what the u.s. public wants doesn't seem to be of concern in the united. date's remains highly

involved with the saudi coalition as it wages its widely condemned war against its neighbor caleb mop and r t new york respected journalist david lindorff who claims that the pentagon is wasteful and at constant risk of fraud the pentagon's accounting is so crazy and so incompetent and also corrupt that. the numbers are actually frequently being just made up year after year the pentagon has been on the list of high risk of fraud waste and abuse is using the fake numbers that it puts into the financial end of your financial reports for the prior year and the year before that that they submit to congress try to show through those fake numbers that they spent all the money. and then his this huge amount of money being spent on fueling these saudi jets spawning yemen

and they aren't even i mean spend if they're doing it but then they're not charging saudis who have endless money for the us doing all of that air tanker refuelling you know it but it's it's not necessary spending so they've been able to keep jacking their budgets. through these accounting gimmicks thanks for joining us this hour we'll be back again in just over thirty minutes but the latest. let me talk about predatory oh yeah they're out there. when lawmakers manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the

ruling classes protect themselves. when the crime and merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick.
