to the. censorship. b.b.c. correspondent suggests that the broad. movement . well maybe some russian businesses capitalizing greatly on the protests maybe the protestors eating cutlass some mass maybe the far right to ring leaders that i'm looking for angles yes the editors demand some blood. the link messengers were
4:03 am
published by russia's ria novosti news agency it comes just a week after a number of media outlets allege that russian bots or automated accounts were fueling outrage over the protests with sixteen hundred tweets sent a day by the french authorities say they're investigating this or are all of i went to the streets of paris to ask people there if they thought the russians were somehow into fair. over the last five weeks we've seen france engulfed by violence as people come out on to the streets to say they simply can't afford to live on the french president's money when my. text messages between a p.v.c. russian journalist and another reporter apparently show who to point the finger of blame marked not the french government not french taxes but the kremlin tex's people's character really managed to to pay everything life is so expensive must be the russians behind it right we asked the b.b.c.
4:04 am
to respond to these potentially embarrassing revelations this is what they have to say as the french foreign ministry had spoken publicly about media reports of a possible russian influence in the protests it was perfectly reasonable for a correspondent to raise the subject however in the end her reports made no mention of a possible connection with russia at all we stand by our impartial independent journalism but i spoke to some people here on the streets of paris and asked them if they saw the shadowy hand of the kremlin behind these demonstrations everything's possible nowadays. yeah. we know of course they are not behind the man they say the russians are behind their. u.s. presidency as well so you know. of course about the difference we never had here but everything. we asked b.b.c. russia if they are still looking for connections between moscow and the french protests and whether the correspondent was under pressure to pursue that particular
4:05 am
angle but they declined to comment but the russian foreign ministry has criticised the b.b.c. accusing it of acting in a cynical matter the cynicism of journalists is amazing we're talking about a company that has propagated all its life and unbiased and independent approach and its professionalism as the pitted me of the media world i have a question for these very british regulators of the media space and the public how do they validate this kind of compilation of facts that employees of their television and radio companies are doing we've sent out requests for comment to a number of journalism groups journalist brian macdonald told us he's not surprised by the b.b.c.'s take on the story. it's quite clear here that you know they've gone for a very very tenuous link between entirely homegrown french protests which have seen nothing to do with russia in a desperate attempt to find some kremlin angle to kind of you know fulfill the agenda that they they feel they must do at the moment which is to get as much money
4:06 am
as they can i suppose you know for the idea of fighting some in for war with russia i just off the top of my head i can mention things like you know montenegro's you know nato vote recently was russia was supposed to interfere some idiots is the only word i can use in britain you're actually trying to say that russia was responsible for brics that now come on you know i mean there's been on the table well i mean your skepticism in england been on the table for them particularly for you know twenty five or thirty years you see now you know in america they've tried to make it look like russia was somehow responsible for electing donald trump so this is just the latest in a litany of you know. reaching like this. justin trudeau has expressed concern over two canadians detained in china last week saying his government is taking the situation very seriously he says the arrests are politically motivated resulting from kind of being caught up in the ongoing trade war between beijing and washington. where the two largest economies of the world
4:07 am
china and the united states start picking a fight with each other the escalating trade war between them is going to have all sorts of unintended consequences on canada and potentially on the entire global economy so we're very worried about the arrest of canadians are michael kors a former diplomat accused of breaking china's ngo door and michael and entrepreneur with senior contacts in north korea including kim jong un. china rest of them citing alleged activities harmful to national security that was right after the chinese smartphone maker way was detained in canada at america's request. picks up the story. high flying chinese executive arrest her income is an outrage her home nations claim it's at the request of the u.s. grant her an eye watering bail throw in a threat of extradition see china then arrest two canadians in retaliation and all that was potentially the biggest trade deal the world at the scene is being
4:08 am
hammered out by two of the best and parties washington and beijing complicated isn't it well let's try and break it down starting with those two canadian nationals joining me tonight and citizens marco coverage and michael's paiva suspect it's often gaijin inuktitut is that in danger of the national security of the people's republic of china china how to warned of the coming retaliation with beijing grave consequences that come into if the wall way c.f.i. was not released but as count as big brother has rushed to its defense the off of the tension of two canadian citizens is unacceptable they ought to be returned. to stood for that whether there are citizens or citizens of other countries whether this washington fits in the picture men one show was arrested not because of something she did personally but because the u.s. thinks the company was trying to evade the american embargo against iran
4:09 am
extradition to the u.s. is on the menu mung and others are alleged to have put financial institutions at risk of criminal and civil liability in the united states by deceiving those institutions as to the nature and extent of while these business in iran but it is the snag many major financial companies think looting america's own j.p. morgan has had to pay hefty fines for violating u.s. sanctions in the past yes we've never seen their execs being thrown into custody making the case a wild card but it's trying to seem to suggest the wall of floor company puts the side when it comes to making money. if i think it's good for what will be certainly the laws. trade deal ever made i would certainly intervene if i thought it was necessary but it seems the man in the oval office is getting the concessions he wanted because beijing has now announced a suspension of tariff hikes on the u.s. indeed when the two world's biggest economies face a tech tug of war it seems the nice guy finishes last. a u.s.
4:10 am
government adviser on asia told oxys so if that the arrest of her wild ways c.f.o. is part of a larger plan you can see that interview in full full of just a bit later on this channel in fact trump didn't even know she was arrested at the time you was having dinner with she had the g. twenty this is part of a long broader u.s. attempt. to push back on chinese technology stealing i.p.r. steel and so on chinese big is not that different from american big if you're ali babar baidu or ten cent you want access to global markets trend is only fourteen percent or so of the world market they want access to the other eighty six percent . banning wrapped not the way to tackle the potentially bad influence of lyrics

4:12 am
eight ing the young hip hoppers corner of it. it was the number. one. was that. some of these videos get more clicks on you tube than the number of people in this country gigs have been cancelled in places from here all the way to here reasons in one case a watchdog suddenly realized the venue's hygiene in condition wasn't good enough or any of your local officials said that the rejected rappers songs may deal possible blow to the moral and ethical values of the more than society in perm a band was reportedly told to vanish from the city all together and it all got to
4:13 am
the point when even the busy man who's got more than ninety nine problems said that a gig ain't one spore suppose with stalking and banning these artists is the least effective way one can come up with to address certain issues because such methods would only produce the opposite effect drugs raise the most concern naturally since they're the surest way to nations to trying it don't millions of teens listen to this kind of music probably quite a few million and drugs and all that dirty language won't be music to the ears of their parents so adults only or eighteen plus tags should be mandatory for most of these gigs but bang them all together come on the smartphone generation will always find a way to hear the rhymes they want to hear plus check out some of the commons under husky's videos never listen to husky before but if the russian prosecution service insists i will start doing it now franks never thought husky was so cool thank you

getting embroiled in ever more scandals as people accuse them of being tone deaf to diversity racism and body image we put the issues raised up for debate. are faint proud to call it completely wrong they're. quite healthy if i'm a to. point out with a black face and big red lips it's pretty obvious lookin back for any any person of ethnic origin to especially a black person to see that i think prada has made it perfectly clear that they had no intention of presenting this says as any kind of racist message or or blackface says it's come to be commonly called when i first saw the image of myself i did think straight away to the minstrel show so i think how how can such a big brand nowadays when divesting such a big get it completely wrong to save or to think that a company of that size and that reputation would purposely go out and make these
4:16 am
little figurines that would purposely a fan or mock a race of people you'd have to be out of your mind to believe in freedom of speech and freedom of creativity and have a should be done taking into consideration people's feelings that when you let people determine what's offensive to the masses you're looking for. censorship you're looking for the sidling of creativity they go hand in hand totally secret i don't know what address a case finchem you know he's talking about it's a fantasy show and his fantasy is it is yours a it because it's certainly not my kind of fantasy now you know change is a rappin in and it's time to become more diverse fleet's why can't we have a company that caters to skinny thin women and ed we do have companies that cater to heavier women so also should they be protested because they're not catering to women i mean the whole thing is as saying when you think about it look around one's
