of countries to shape their own like racial policies former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament lot of honest thinks the problem is far more complicated a lot of pages on the surface this is something has been going on for the us for the last two years already basically what you see is people who are indeed afraid but who have been told that their loss of social security and jobs is to be blamed on migrants and not on all three how big three school police will get away with murder by a trade in your taxes and so on the money there so security. for me is the main reason why people then and full focus on these issues i mean do the problem is there nobody is going to deny that the group exists but among other things it's not even the big the biggest problem that people face from the moment so what you have is really story of story of people so that they don't focus on the real issues that

1:10 pm
restaurant announced not all of the people are paid minimum wage there are people with a slightly higher wattage he targeted a small majority unfortunately this is not the whole population and these measures are really smart he could do a lot more he should have reduced the salaries of the rich because they have a disproportionate salary. these are rich in ways that if this is not fast the poor pay more debt than rich with zero taxes this is disproportionate this is the beginning of chaos we should for measures to resolve it we were on the streets in the wind in the cold not for a pleasure the french have come because they could not stand just this is lasted for years. wrong although he did nothing to see the situations people are on the streets not giving you because they are determined. this week in france four people were killed and a dozen injured in a terror attack in strasbourg a gunman opened fire on

islamic state believing it's militants were fighting for a just cause it's also been revealed he had an extensive police record and was on the french watch list of possible extremists. if you're considering the target the perpetrators way of operating his profile and the testimonies of those are heard him yell allahu akbar and to terror police have been called into action terrorism has once again struck our country in strasburg reminding us in a dramatic fashion that the threat is still very real we had for two members of the european parliament from opposite ends of the political spectrum they agree though that europe's current anti terror policy needs that revealing we kept one minute of silence for the victims as we do recently. as you were doing every time and this is getting good and bad because we were doing the work of the this a lot of time this mandate so that means we have to change policies to find the
1:13 pm
sources of the terrorism and to attack the sources of their readers are the terrorists we have to stop the wars in the middle east we have to really degrade the realize the youth of the suburbs of paris and brussels. and we have to do to work together with the moderate islam to the week of two to establish some long term goals and try to achieve the meddlers miles i think this was expected this is proof that this is a must terrorist has committed a crime that was relatively easy to commit i believe it is time to react the terrorist who carried out this mosque yesterday was well known to the police so why wasn't he detained in advance we discuss a heron stross book with the e.u. having opened its borders this free such a nation of people has bought a loud criminals to move about freely every time we have such tragedy we get back to the topic of border control and i think we should take back control of the borders and make the criminals afraid again because now they are not scad yet
1:14 pm
ordinary people are scared of going to christmas markets with their kids scared to go outside it is not enough to light candles to cry to say like they do all the time. we bought the clan we are france and we want france to live in peace. it's been another tough week for the british prime minister tourism a as her briggs's strategy fails to win much support both at home and in brussels more on how she's holding up after this short break. president trump indeed has has he's way of communicating but you have to hand it to him but sometimes it's better to try and shake up the established way of doing things in order to come to
1:15 pm
a different conclusion i think what's worrying is this focus on the you know fate news and jump news because one of the foundations of a democracy has to be the trust in news facts and information and if that trust is fundamentally shaken and the independent media odd criticized then i think that that's a problem from a communications perspective. if we have a new trade arrangements with china that may build a new foundation for war stable relations i think broadly the there's of the u.s. has a problem in itself in the rise of china no matter what they do. welcome
1:16 pm
back to the weekly u.s. national security adviser has criticized russia and china as activity in africa john bolton that was in failing and new policy which he says will benefit the continent across the continent russia advances its political and economic relationships with little regard to the rule of law are accountable and transparent governance continues to sell arms and energy in exchange for votes at the united nations. china uses bribes opaque agreements and the strategic use of debt to hold states in africa captive to beijing's wishes and demands to move on when china talks about cooperation with africa china's focuses more on what africa needs such as agriculture modernization and accelerated industrialization but the related statement made by the u.s.
1:17 pm
concerned simply what the united states itself needs so a poll to heavily critical of the role of russia and china in the area what has taken a closer look at america's own vision. this regarding that it reads more like a declaration of war than a strategy and this plan is for the good of africa promises john bolton this coming from a guy whose boss trump infamously referred to several african nations as something that i can't mention on their the predatory practices pursued by china and russia stunt economic growth in africa threaten the financial independence of african nations and pose a significant threat to u.s. national security interests its interest in logic so when china or russia or someone else you don't like lends an african nation money that's dead colonialism almost financial slavery when america does it it's investment for africa's
1:18 pm
own good but if mentioning is that russia's trade with the continent pales into insignificance when compared to the us or china look at this realize this highway hydro power station all built with chinese investment beijing is raising entire cities with more to come china is willing to provide now the sixty billion dollars in support of africa to government assistance investment and financing the financial institutions and enterprises the phrase actions speak louder than words is entirely a political here the chinese leader xi jinping has visited africa nine times during his tenure tromp one sent his wife but what the united states might lack in tact it more than makes up with guns american troops are stationed in fifty out of fifty four african nations it has thirty four military sites thousands and thousands of
1:19 pm
soldiers across the entire continent and a long history of military interventions china has. one base in djibouti russia has none american troops are there for africans own good washington would say speaking of which remember the whole chinese and russian money that had american money good thing well it turns out not so much our new foreign assistance strategy will ensure that all us foreign aid in every corner of the globe vance's us interest countries that repeatedly vote against the united states and international forums or take actions counter to u.s. interest should not receive generous american foreign aid john bolton they does and gentleman man who unveiled america's new africa plan so much for financial independence africans good luck we need to move it to consider what really africa
1:20 pm
needs is not really what china mase want a russian it's all us everyone china russia or all of france as it all has the kind ready contribution to number one the infrastructure development and also to agave technology to grow their agriculture and their manufacturing base that's something that command a moral high no simply an elbow in the other all of this continent it doesn't really know how these people to grow their industry to earn better life just think of pounding to russia or to to china for some of the you know allegedly bad behavior that doesn't really help the picture so it is up to the africans will decide holywell. any case fifteen
1:21 pm
activists were found guilty on monday i think disrupting a flight from london stansted airport they managed to prevent a charter flight deporting a failed immigration applicants from taking off the following video shows that protest march last year. fifteen cut through the airports perimeter fence and plane illegal immigrants on board was said to be able to. go on or. on a jury reached. a nine week trial. says the charges are considered terror related the activists could technically face life imprisonment the group will be sentenced to date we spoke to one of them after the hearing along with fourteen other people. to a very remote. around
1:22 pm
a plane that was. around. and then arrested we don't know what's going to happen but what we. should never have been brought against us should never. have been that building just. simply anti terror piece of legislation that's what it was. being used against peaceful protest is. remarkable. we need to continue the fight against a brutal secretive. barely legal charter flights the ones that we. that we targeted and. i guess that's the thing that's in. the forefront of our mind . authorities in the u.k. laid out their reasons for pursuing a conviction of the stance that. these people place themselves the flight crew airport personnel and police at serious risk of injury even death due to their
1:23 pm
actions on the airfield the c.p.s. walk to the police to build a strong case which reflected the criminality of the defendant's actions regardless of their motivation many public figures in the u.k. including some m.p.'s have backed the activists and the call on the government to stop the deportation flights they believe the activists should be spared prison. while the protesters found themselves on the wrong side of the law son see their campaign as justified we heard from political commentator david george barger 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 enforcing 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
1:24 pm
consequences thirteen of the people on that flight are still in this country and the number of already been 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 is 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 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 but if they were seeking asylum which of course they're not because they've been defined as on documented immigrants i.e. illegal immigrants. a lot of why our society is a hell of a 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
1:25 pm
a description that this country takes so long to remove these people who should not be endace country in the first instance of the problem is that this system is so shot through with racism and brutality in failure that there are many documented cases of this absolutely put aside these actions stands and you are ignoring the fact that what is happening also anderson proves that these people were right that these were illegal deportations these people have been allowed to stay because they since this nonsense in the first place and the idea that these people were injuring people or endangering anybody is just absurd you cannot agree with them if you like and resent them holding up other people to protest as well into. a kind of whole a three hundred fifty three foot hole for a fence chained themselves to a seven six seven plane the authorities are saying that endangered life 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 acting to prevent further harm and the problem in this case is that the judge
1:26 pm
effectively prevented the jury from considering their motivation and so these people are being charged with an irony or 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 we're not all. should not all of been tamed and deported because they've been allowed to stay. sense and what else i 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
1:27 pm
pace for principled ways in the past what i'm saying is not that they shoot people no one doesn't demming allowed to go home they broke the law and they knew it but they should have been charged with aggravated jasper's which is what they did they cut through a fence that's not justice plus it's aggravated trust us 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 into our ports shuttling themselves and and endangering human life so quite frankly regardless of how you want to call it the penalty that pay has a right one. the round up of the week's top stories for. thirty minutes time. thanks guys are fine if you're such a shame the delegates. love to use it this is the central plank so for dying at the
