12:05 am
food the twenty nine year old and there are also some reports in french media that he initially fled his home in the city strasburg after police with that carrying out a search and we understand from those reports that some couldn't aides who actually know kate and his property suggesting that he could have been potentially looking surprise on a much much larger attack a terror investigation has now been opened into this and this is the latest in a string of terror attacks in france over the last three years.
12:06 am
well the e.u. parliament in strasburg was on lockdown after that attack with people not being allowed in new of the building and many restaurants were also closed as the interior ministry and local authorities told people to stay. inside particularly urging people in the new area of stroudsburg where the twenty nine year old's flatty said to be located to stay inside now i mentioned earlier this took place near the christmas market in strassburg it's a market that happens every year it's been going on since the sixteenth century draws in around two million visitors annually to the u.s. go ruled heritage site that too or some parallels with something that happened two years ago you remember may remember that fatal

12:08 am
you so much for keeping across the events for us now a representative from the french national rally in the u.s. believes the tragedy in strasburg could have been prevented if intel had been used efficiently. this person was listed has an s five hundred s. file so what it is is basically the french secret service have seen this person has a potential security threats because it was radicalized you think his day was in jail no it was you know totally free you know to go everywhere and that's the problem we have thousands of people that are under the s. file in france and our governments are doing nothing prison not going on same as the previous government believing in a fairy tale you know it's like disneyland you know with unicorns and fairies we never go into the roots of the problem you can't add new no more police officer if it were but if they said if you have people under an s. file and those people are you know alexi to go everywhere that you can impose more
12:09 am
strict than on french on the french population if you don't contain this radicalized movement then it's just a ground is just a recipe for more disasters. that sadly attack in strasburg follows a month long uprising by the so-called yellow vests to me month and rest lead to a manual mccraw in making concessions on monday promising to increase the minimum wage and scrap fuel tax hikes to ease the un west that's estimated to cost france between eight and ten billion euro the people in front and people in paris don't think the measures are particularly new or a big step. but if i am supporting the yellow vests i think it would be good if the minimum wage goes up the problem is that the government didn't touch taxes for rich people you see as i understand it president micron is adjusting the things he's
12:10 am
already planned to move quickly a month so i don't think this is a huge change in direction but yeah i think it is more or less positive but the hundred euro rise in the minimum wage is a smokescreen but the rise has. planned since the beginning and after all. you know if you could have more. movement. students have been inspired by the yellow vest to hundreds of high schoolers took action in paris on tuesday against proposed education reforms a demanding changes to university admission that demonstration mixed in with the yellow vests protests have broadened and intensified over the last week the only rest was initially triggered by a proposed feel tax hikes which president mccrone backed down on after some of the most violent rioting in half a century and the damage is racking up estimated to already be in the billions of
12:11 am
euros with more than a thousand people injured. and one of those caught up in it all is twenty year old student fear of linea during the latest weekend of unrest in the french capital she claims she was hit by daybreak after police had to use a crowd control grenade despite receiving medical treatment fear arena is now blind in one eye a warning you may find the following video disturbing. the moment i'm going to play. for something that we were together on the show. we asked police to let us leave but they had orders not to let anyone out so we've been waiting for about two hours and some vandals attacked a shop that had been covered in wooden panels they tore those off and set them on fire riot police started to disperse the crowd so that firefighters in the hooligans have been to the right of the riot police but they started to shoot in all directions we got as far as we could from that but
12:12 am
a right dispersed grenade went off right next to us. and she fell down. a campaign to help here you know has raised more than thirty thousand euros here's a friend again who says it's inexcusable for police to disproportionately target everyone. i'm not against police using force it's needed to restore order and confront the hooligans but there's absolutely no excuse for attacking people who are standing far away from the epicenter of the conflict who are peaceful you have no means of protection no gas masks. a group of british activists have been convicted for a stunt at london's stands today airport in which they blocked an aircraft from taking off a charter flight was carrying failed immigration applicants for deportation and since the charges against the activists are considered terror related the so-called stands to fifteen could technically face life imprisonment the group will be
12:13 am
sentenced to a later date after the hearing we spoke to one of them along with fourteen other people twenty eight last year. gain access to a very remote. tight ourselves around a plane that was due to poor around sixty people to nigeria and ghana later that night we were there for about ten hours and we have actually come out and then arrested we don't know what's going to happen but what we do know is this charge should never been brought against us it should never been us should be in the home office it should be in that building just over there this is simply an anti terror piece of legislation that's what it was in for and the fact that it's been used against peaceful protesters is remarkable it's nonsensical we need to continue the fight against a brutal secretive barbaric barely legal charter flights the ones that we. that we targeted and. i guess that's the thing that's me that's enough right now that's that's what's at the forefront of our mind is. the following video shows the
12:14 am
protesters in march last year lying on the ground at stansted airport tied to one another. the protesters cut the airport's perimeter fence and surrounded the plane the undocumented immigrants were to be returned to nigeria gone on sierra leone following a nine week trial the activists were found guilty of intentionally disrupting flight services and after. these people place themselves the flight crew airport personnel and police as a serious risk of injury or even death due to their actions on the airfield the crown prosecution service worked with the police to build a strong case which reflected the criminality of the defendant's actions regardless of their motivation. in the u.k. many public figures have backed the activist sense of calling on the government to stop the deportation flights well the protesters found themselves on the wrong side
12:15 am
of the law it's clear that many see their campaign as justified we heard from political commentator david violence and george barda who is a social justice campaigner here we heard of one bunch of lawbreakers because another bunch of lawbreakers are being deported i'm not sure what the problem is here it's not a question of taking the sledgehammer to break and not as a question of and forcing the law the fact is that they set out to break the law of which they were fully aware in this country if you break the law you pay the consequences thirteen of the people on that flight are still in this country and the number of already being given indefinite right to remain we have a crazy system in this country where so-called hostile environment was intentionally created by the previous home secretary theresa may who's now the prime minister and part of that has been you know these barely legal flights that are clearly brutal and uncompassionate and many of the people on them still have
12:16 am
opened up here to these people acting to prevent people illegally being taken out of the country it's a horrible situations it's quite clear given the countries from which they come from that if they were seeking asylum which of course they're not there because they've been defined as on documented immigrants i.e. illegal immigrants are simply not a lot of the arsenal is available safe country if i can finish my point i'd like to finish my point place so so they these people are quite clearly and i'm sure george understands this they are illegal immigrants and i agree with george in one regard they wrote a description that this country takes so long to remove these people who should not be in this country in the first instance they think they should have been arrested as they were and probably charged with aggravated trespass and then they have their day in court to make their case as to why they were at. thing to prevent further harm and the problem in this case is that the judge effectively prevented the jury from considering their motivation and so these people are being charged an irony or
12:17 am
that was joint into deal with terrorism and whatever your view of the what these people have done it was clearly not a terrorist act they were quite clearly a word of what they were doing annoyed they have been fined guilty george comes on to cry and whine about it here's a bit of advice george obey the law and they won't be any problems just like those who came here illegally and of not been rightly fighting to have been here illegally should also have obeyed the law the fact that david seems to ignore is a the fact that these people it has been proven since were not all. should not all of been tamed and deported because they've been allowed to stay since and what i also think is incredibly important is that all the decent things that we have in this country did not come out of the generosity of power the reason the law has changed over and over to become a more moral and decent and democratic thing is because people have broken it in pace for principled ways in the past what i'm saying is not that they should people
12:18 am
who wasn't demming allowed to go home they broke the law and they knew it but they should have been charged with aggravated just passed which is what they did they cut through a fence that's not just our spouses aggravated trespass and they were prepared to face the charges for that instead they were charged with anti terror charges and and if that be the case that might stop other such people breaking india or ports shuttling themselves and and endangering human life so quite frankly regardless of how you want to call it the pell the the pay has a right one. it's supposed to be the season of goodwill but an online advent calendar has sparked controversy in germany the anti immigration alternative for germany party has launched what it says is a white men version of the christmas countdown our europe correspondent peter all of a has more on this. dreaming of a white christmas right wing populist alternative to germany of sets up an online calendar day unveiling a member of a group in society they say has become much maligned white men we introduce you to
12:19 am
12:20 am
one to hate group took another approach who would think of such a thing but why not say yes to a white man the a.f. they say that a combination of the left quality and the green lead to discrimination against white men i spoke to one of their representatives here in berlin and asked what they mean by that make fun of black person or woman so they will come and tell you this is not acceptable is just racism or something like that this is homophobia so but there is no one coming. for some people the phrase. old white man seems to be some kind of a bad insult but it's not and we wanted to show that humanity has achieved a lot of things and you many white men brilliant minds considering the criticism
12:21 am
seems like a bit of an attempt to get some publicity are you out of ideas no we're not well we have the reaction you are regarding to there are some critics in the mainstream media say it's racists and they claim that there is no discrimination of all white men of course you have to will estimate what's going to happen and what kind of criticize some. you come you you will produce with it but the message is still clear all toibin are not they are not all bad at all from germany now for five policemen in frankfurt are under investigation for allegedly inciting hatred that's off to a probe into the far right extremists expose their online chat history that was full of nazi symbols and anti immigrant text. in total shock in court there were indeed images of swastikas hitler and things like that and judging by the pictures
12:22 am
we saw they also exchanged text messages against refugees and disabled people the political parties in germany have condemned the case the greens say the country needs a prevention system in place while the left party says there's no government that will eliminate the far right from the police force one of the big problems of the police forces in germany are that they are seriously overstretched and on the staff if there was a persistent effort by the government to check those radical right wing extremists from our police and security forces and they would have already succeeded but their least some parts of government that are interested in those people being at the positions there's been a long history of nazi infiltration if you go back to the fifty's and sixty's of the last century they have never been as this is an effort by the government to get
12:23 am
rid of nazi extremists and the police force but i think that it's also called the left wing parties that they have made in the past who just generally. condemn members of the police as nazis and i think the right path forward is to work together with ashes and progressive unions tried those extremist elements within the police force. is where the soldiers have raided the office of the palestinian news agency wafa in the west bank according to the agency's soldiers fired tear gas and seized footage from surveillance cameras while searching the building. mark.
12:24 am
we spoke to a journalist from the agency who was there at the time of the raid he described how events unfolded. the army entered the northern part of from one. in the and in the morning actually they were searching buildings along the way sort of looking and taking pictures because we're a news agency we have for the gentlest and so they decided to come up also to our building i was there myself and i did live through that ordeal i do you guys was in the building where we work and it was really difficult to stay inside. one point even as we were taken some pictures from the balcony of the lower floor they fired stun grenades at us which exploded in the balcony and then they
12:25 am
looked for footage of. the security cameras that were in the building of the streets and they took. to calling the call because of these security cameras they could have asked. us that they want to put it could have done that and the footage would have been delivered to them i think in a problem there was no need at all for what happened there was no need to enter the building and to take them by force they used intimidation and force and scared the jitters there and forced them to open the doors and enter the rooms where the servers were took the footage without any. approval from from that from the administration of those awful for and these pictures were released by the news agency people were seen praying while israeli soldiers search
12:26 am
the building israel gave no reason for the raid but it is believed to be linked to a shooting on sunday in which seven israelis were wounded the raid prompted clashes between israeli soldiers and civilians in the area the palestinian red crescent reports that dozens including t. hit by an. life unless. we heard from a former leader of the fatah party and garter mohammad dahlan he believes that to end the cycle of violence some difficult compromises need to be made on both sides is that. the palestinians have only one option to try and settle the conflict on the basis of a one state solution we cannot remain under occupation option of creating two independent states is not possible or realistic well benjamin netanyahu is in power that if israel will not let us create our own stating the guards are in the west bank then so be it we must live as one state for palestinians and israelis must
