some media blaming russia for the yellow vests on the rest we've been eyed looking for those suspected of infiltrating from the. high you in paris so you make people protest known that to look you need. help when you put it is. just the. deal would be a disaster for our country and responsible government would ever allow it the british opposition leader urges m.p.'s to reject reason maes no deal that breaks it for reason may faces more all round hostility in parliament. wherever you're tuning in from rights are on the globe this hour welcome to moscow and to our. international my name's human meal our top story with weeks of protests

still simmering in france the scrum called police officers have started their own protest against paid overtime and dangerous working conditions in at least one terminal in the french capital's main are ports officers are causing long lines our passport control by staging a slow protest let's go live now to charlotte dubin seat in charlotte tell us more about the police officers concerns and the general situation in the capital as it's not. well it seems it's out with the yellow vests in the blue vests police are now trying to squeeze concessions out of the government they're unhappy with what they see is deteriorating conditions the amount of overtime they've done some twenty three million hours and that includes because some of the work that they've been doing over the last five weeks with the best

protesters and of course increased security that we're seeing around christmas markets and. sites across france in the wake of that stars but attack and they say it's simply not enough the unions describing the situation for police in france as being. diabolical. they're not getting obese was to office or even considering the social and professional obligations of our colleagues when they are not in uniform they become yellow vests because we are middle class or even lower because of our salaries our origin that's why some colleagues feel that they are yellow vests because of the yelling fasts really resonates with police. well those mean cry from some of the police unions who've been in discussions with the interior ministers since tuesday there's discussions are ongoing but already the government is offering some concessions being put on the table. trying quell

the sunnies the last thing they want is for the police to continue a strike which has been described as many as act one giving the suggestion that they prepared to go a little bit further as a yellow vest and been going over the last few weeks the concession on the table so for is a three hundred euro bonus to be paid to the officers who have been involved in the deployment of the yellow vests protest but the union say it's just not enough and actually what they want is for those twenty three million hours of overtime being paid a huge bill according to the interior minister. the state currently goes almost two hundred seventy five million euros to its police officers for over time not in recent months or years but for decades we cannot have dead one of them that they're also unhappy the unions about what they see is being moved enough in the port for the police budget which is due to be discussed as part

of the two thousand and nine hundred budget in the national assembly on thursday they say it's not enough money to pay for the overtime and it's not enough money to create the conditions nor is it enough to recruit the extra staff that they need to deal with the continuing protests those talks ongoing between the unions and interior minister but it seems that already this slow down of the police this new blue vest protest here in france is already having some impact here and helping less than a week before christmas lest we forget charlotte dubin ski live in paris thank you . well the original yellow vest demonstrations call for a fuel tax levy is to be dropped and for political reform to occur but some have been looking away from the government for the source of the discord and rushed to link the movement to moscow charlotte earlier when dominant for suspects in paris. a lot of. no i don't

think i've definitely found one. yes. by you in paris to make people protest. you know maybe. the russians are they behind the yellow vest protest. just like you would. leave the military more good. news than you. the mainstream media say that russia is behind these protests you must be wearing a yellow vest on saturday. henri. well this place suspiciously could be the center of russian activity in france.

you mean you know it is so deep into protesting just spoon france into chaos. here is. the story what's your favorite color. are you sure it's not yellow. sea. most of the. sentencing of the first white house official over alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential campaign has been delayed once again double trump's former national security advisor michael flynn pleaded guilty to a single count of lying to the f.b.i. but explains a buzz words like treason and meddling this is what flynn is really guilty. general

michael flynn the only senior member of the trumpet ministration to be charged with a crime by the special prosecutor it was supposed to be a smoking gun the judge didn't mince any words when describing it i'm not hiding my disgust my disdain for this criminal offense all along you were and registered agent of a foreign country serving as a national security adviser arguably that undermines everything that this flack over here stands for arguably you sold your country out however the judge took it back i feel terrible about that the government has no reason to believe that the defendant committed treason is an actual crime with telling a lie to the fed but that's not what the media has been feeding us. it's it's funny because history is a witness tampering now it is possibly treason but mike flynn is what people thought about when they're thinking when he's talking to people who might have gone long a treasonist that's how many trips did michael flynn take his place anthony bourdain

of treason no treason no sinister connection to foreign adversaries what happened is this in december of two thousand and sixteen as the f.b.i. was preparing to wrap up and conclude its collusion investigation at that point michael flynn had a conversation with russian ambassador. now you'll recall that is far as the media was concerned he wasn't simply an ambassador but a super spy master remember. identified by c.n.n. as a top intelligence gatherer to our spies master in washington d.c. and who we know is the chief spy novel actually lead so course the f.b.i. had no choice but to talk to flynn about that conversation but the way their interview with him was conducted was rather strange no lawyers were present the white house counsel was not informed lynn just sat down with the f.b.i. and at no point did they tell him that what he said could later be used against him in court as investigation of a guy who pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i.

he should have been warned you shouldn't should have told you. have a lawyer think of the state of affairs we've ended up in that's nonsense i'm very proud of the way the f.b.i. conducted itself agile flexible thoughtful pursued believes where you'd want to steer the f.b.i. broke standard protocol in the way that they came in in ambush plan the only reason that they did it was the terms of ministration and they thought they could get away with it at the time the f.b.i. did not see any wrongdoing general flynn pleaded guilty to making a false statement to the federal bureau of investigation even though the federal bureau of investigation agents did not detect any deception during flynn's incivil what michael flynn apparently said is that international tensions shouldn't ask following obama's sanction and sacking of the diplomats however michael flynn told the f.b.i. that he couldn't recall the details of the conversation they were tired general admitted lying to the f.b.i. michael flynn lied to the f.b.i.

general michael landon oh the horror he sat at a table with russian president vladimir putin and he's supposedly met with a group alleged to be nazi sympathizers and he supposedly kidnapped someone on behalf of turkish president and while we're at it let's mention that his son is apparently part of the investigation plans name has been dragged through the mud at the end of the day however the f.b.i. only found one thing to hold onto a lie. r.t. new york. well in the same day flynn sentence was delayed one of the first journalists who reports on the infamous trump rushy a dossier said that it contains claims are quote likely falls michael isikoff believes it's most salacious i.q. stations will never be proven. when you actually get into the details of the steel dosia the specific allegations we have not seen the evidence to support them and in fact there's good grounds to think that some of the more sensational allegations

will never be proven and are likely folks but when the on corroborated claims first came out in the media it was treated like a bombshell revelation. recaps sometimes it takes only one spark one report from one or a handful of journalists from a big outlet to really send the media world into overdrive former british intelligence officer behind the dot ca that contained explosive allegations about president donald trump he also addressed the dossier of alleged dirt on donald trump in russia the report included unsubstantiated claims that russian intelligence compiled a dossier on mr trump during visits to moscow what a good example was when the chief investigative reporter for yahoo news michael isikoff made a bombshell out of the infamous steel dossier that was a big one remember with the p. tape aka the golden shower compromise with plenty of alleged collusion evidence

back in january two thousand and seven seeing hours and hours of airtime on these steel memos bombarded t.v. screens to tell the world a story of collusion plus its thanks to the dossier for one that the f.b.i. secured a warrant to spy on donald trump's advisor pretty serious stuff the dossier was full of claims that could have been seen as good collusion or proof the most notable alleging donald trump's former attorney michael cohen traveled to prague to fix and coordinate all that campaign scheming together with russia and the so-called was perhaps part of it too with the most bizarre claims that russian security services had blackmailed trump with recordings of his dirty deeds. in a moscow hotel this wasn't just something that randomly came from donald trump the president pretty much repeated a crucial statement by the author of the dossier himself revealed in

a court hearing chris steele said the following was supposed to happen as a result of the dossiers publication based on the voice party switchers the democratic national committee and he. could consider steps they would be legally entitled to take to chinese the validity of the outcome of that election so if she didn't pay for it it was done through one of the klinefelter going is asians only with a specific purpose to find some kind of legal ground to challenge the results of the twenty sixteen vote this just tells you how deeply stuck in partisans are in the washington d.c. swap of that these partisans lean towards democrats and specifically towards hillary clinton and barack obama this is really an unbelievable literal smear campaign for which grave damages have occurred in the relations between russia the united states to the trump name to the trump family it's cost a lot of money it's cast as bad light on the american system of justice which is supposed to be blind in a good sense and there ought to be

a real investigation of how this happened and of why it's gone on for so long and people need to be held to account here this is an outrage. with one hundred days left until the u.k. parts ways with the european union treason maze government is ramping up and no deal breaks and preparations that says the prime minister as they voice plan continues to face serious opposition with m.p.'s to have a final vote on the deal in mid january may has been making her case in parliament this whether it's the heated exchange with opposition leader germany or. till the deal has a date has been ratified it is the responsible position of government and it is it would be the responsible position of any government to put in place contingency arrangements for new. deal. would be a disaster for our country and no responsible government would ever allow it i know it's christmas i know he's not to be talking down the chimney on top of christmas

tree he still hasn't found. the prime minister who is supposed to be undertaking a negotiation was the prime minister the trial to bring an acceptable deal but why didn't the prime minister stop the pretense and stop wasting full billion pounds in a cynical attempt to drive could be damaging deal through this house. is the right honorable gentleman doesn't want to see money being spent on no deal he's governed easy on this was there was another aspect more than three thousand troops will reportedly be put on standby as part of the no deal contingency plan other measures include securing medical and food supplies over the coming weeks families and businesses will also be receiving official guidance on how to prepare for a possible chaotic exit from the their priority being given to a no deal scenario has also been reinforced by the u.k.'s breaks it's

a free. the government's priority remains to secure the deal but we need to recognize with fourteen weeks to go that a responsible government is preparing for the eventuality that we leave without well if you're struggling to keep up with all the latest developments you're certainly not alone and one thing that we can all actually agree on and keep up with is the fact that to resume a deal probably won't make it through parliament in january and today the cabinet use its last meeting before breaking off for christmas to agree to ramp up no deal preparations even though it still says and still believes that delivering the deal that the prime minister did agree in process is still the government's top priority having said that correct that is just one hundred days away now so ministers are now preparing for a note let me just talk you through a bit of those preparations we're hearing that all u.k. citizens will be sent information about how to prepare for a no till breakfast and think of it maybe like a survivor sky two

a no deal but most worryingly the defense secretary gavin williamson he's saying that three thousand five hundred troops could be put on the streets on standby to help the u.k. deal with the impact what we are doing is putting contingency plan to close and what we will do is have three and a half thousand service personnel. readiness including regulars and reserves you know support any government department on any contingencies they may need across the channel the european parliament's negotiate has sounded the alarms as well over a no till breakfast and those like jeremy hunt to glorify a new deal briggs's are totally responsible it is not the job of politicians to make the people they lead poor or remove opportunities writes i'm a lives more uncertain there is no such thing as a manage no deal it still doesn't look too hopeful for the prime minister especially given the fact that the e.u. toltec categorically that they would not be renegotiating her deal and they would

not be doing so under any single circumstances so. now many people are telling theresa may urging to reason may to stop running scared and hold the phone sooner rather than later we're back with more global news in less than ninety seconds. 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 crimes happy he did. eighty five percent of global wealth to the rich eight point six percent

market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and this morning rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only. twenty minutes into the program welcome back a bunch of documents reportedly from a u.k. funded think tank have a partly we're failing propaganda sites links to nato among the revelations are suppose that efforts to infiltrate european media and editing wicked baby of pages

and then russian modder taking us through the story. it's got a cozy sounding moralistic the integrity initiative it's part of the u.k. based institute for state craft charity its purpose to counter all that kremlin this information flooding the globe leaked documents have shown the noble crusade receiving funds from the british government's foreign office and the latest leak has revealed some of those who were paid by the info wars unit. two thousand five hundred pounds a month not bad his day job is at the atlantic council and nato backed think tank ties to nato seem to be a good indorsement if you want to get paid by the integrity initiative about lead times to our channel can also get you the gig remember liz wahl a presenter of variety over in the us who resigned after this newscast i am

resigning she received a three figure sum from the group for an article titled inside r.t. where she compares the channel to isis we've contacted both the integrity initiative and the institute for statecraft over the payments and so far there's been no comment while the u.k. foreign office which has spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on the program had this to say the truth the state craft an independent charity was hired several weeks ago and numerous documents were published a number of news channels the russian state media campaigns objectively clear this is just another example of russian just information intended to confuse audiences and discredit an organization which is working independently to talk of the threat of dissing from asia the integrity initiative has been caught three tweeting stories that explore conspiracy theories about the u.k. opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn despite receiving funding from the foreign office some including wiki leaks have question the veracity of some of the leaked

documents statements from the british government that have been sent to r.t. in response to repeated. about integrity initiative appears to have struck a nerve although that's by no means proof that the documents are real for the most part the mainstream media here in the u.k. has chosen to ignore the british government funding and russian network story except for one aspect of it one u.k. foreign office minister has now demanded a thorough investigation of the charity's criticism of the labor party on calling for a public inquiry into the integrity and similar information war that's being floated by our government as for the rest of the integrity initiatives and russia work there is the afa lated to the group say they're merely defending democratic institutions and fighting the good fight. ok to potentially one of the biggest corruption cases in corporate history

a judge in milan energy giants france's shell and police and they were fully aware that the purchase of a nigerian oil field back in twenty eleven would be a source of muscle fraud in the african nation the two firms have consistently denied the accusations since an international scandal broke last year the management of oil companies and he and cho were fully aware of the fact that part of the one point ninety two billion dollars paid would have been used to compensate nigerian public officials who had a role in this matter and who were circling their prey like congress sharks so the companies are facing a corruption trial over the vast oil field bought for one point three billion dollars seven years ago a report by a prominent anti corruption group alleges that the bulk of the money went to a former oil minister and others connected to his ownership of the silent it also says nigeria will be six billion dollars out of pocket in lost revenue because of it both companies and sister actions were absolutely legal on correct. even when we

believe transactions are legal people will seek to hold you to account if they see them as unethical shelly's face in exactly that situation with court action and investigations over a nigerian oil block called o.p.l. two hundred forty five with hindsight it is not one that we would want to find ourselves in again we wish to confirm the correctness and compliance of every aspect of the transaction in respect of o.p.o. two four five concluded and twenty eleven both with a political laws and global industry practice the alleged bribe used to secure the deal is larger than nigeria's entire national health care budget almost half of the country's population around eighty seven million people live in extreme poverty a corruption investigator we spoke to claims international companies exploit nigeria's natural resources without giving anything in return. evidence is.

in new. even involved in bribery and how this is he in nigeria nigeria used you produce and conquer and to use just as simple as you shield what you call. because there is no one. in nigeria that is walking on the highway you she would be far in the mission you present they come to nigeria and. the plot of the ari is charted over us to wherever. we don't produce it that is the truth about magic are you. ok don't miss any of the week midweek news by keeping a check and twitter page shopping quite literally by the minute there i'll be back with more of the stories affecting your world in thirty sees.

what is the pin that's going to pop the global bubble back in two thousand and eight it was the two thousand and eight subprime crisis. today i think we can safely say that the bubble popped but the collapse of. imagine. six thirty five if you have a career and a career involves using. your computer in an office. perhaps you sort of getting hit circular if you're going to have to stop doing this. was the phrase my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up
