i. had lines that shapes the week the yellow vests swept through paris again another round of protests these used tear gas to disperse the crowds during a six consecutive weekend of riots with almost one hundred fifty arrests made. elsewhere president vladimir putin shared his stance on the threat of nuclear war the crisis brings it much else besides it is here and q. and a in the media. a secret project by u.s. democrats to test online tactics during a state election has been revealed in the new york times reports which claimed they used the methods of an old adversary owes much maligned russian.

good evening this is the weekly here. paris saw clashes again on saturday amid a fresh wave of yellow vest protests throughout the french capital across the country from thirty eight thousand gallons was the sixth weekend of antigovernment much. closer i. i. i. i i i. i i i. reported making one hundred forty two arrests and power. yes right offices once again were out in force to use

water cannons and tear gas correspondent david explains. chaotic scenes here just outside the hotel de ville in paris just think a look over here see a gas raining down as the protests just look like they were trying to push towards the island were not for the famous cathedral is situated they were throwing projectiles at the police and then the police responded with this tear gas this is one of many clashes we've already witnessed in paris as you lesions come out for a six day we also saw many people injured in some of those clashes including somebody who appeared to have a broken nose and injuries on the leg as they were trying to run out a form of the tear gas in an area where they had been cattle jane and those injuries largely due to the fact it seems that the crowds were pushing people away just take a look behind you see some of the special mobilized police units who are out in

force one thousand two hundred and twenty five police officers were being mobilized and security offices for all fewer than what we've seen in previous weeks eight thousand last week and that's because many people who want the protests this weekend would have died down there would be fewer protests this and they certainly all feel protests isn't what we've seen in previous weeks but there are still thousands of people here on the streets of paris as you can see just crowds trying to move away as these police forces are coming in for a few or many people saying the reasons behind that is some additional issuance are actually happy with what's being offered by the government clearly an increase in one hundred of one hundred euros of those on a minimum salary also new social contribution plans new taxes for those who work extra hours. and of course scrapping the fuel tax in january the hike that was due

to take place which of course was the start of these protests back in november but many people here say it's just not enough they're not happy with the government and as such we're seeing people again out on the streets of paris ready to show their own anger their own ease with the french government's current policies led by emmanuel mack call. one time shocking scenes of being captured of police during a riot is being forced to flee protesting tax this is with stones and other objects with a hole where most of our ground forces are moving investigation into. the demands of the yellow vests and broadcast t.v. is right around the world but some of the coverage in france is so that has come in for criticism national channel france three was slammed for censoring this broadcast after it appeared to change the placard of one of the protesters now that placard initially said macron out but the last word the key one was deleted it

prompted accusations of deliberate doctoring on social media channel though says it simply happened by mistake we spoke to the protester who saw him was at the center of the controversy. so much i was shocked like many others this censorship by france three karsa shadow on the media in general the process to start to think that journalists are in cahoots with politicians and the financial elite this kind of censorship doesn't help the situation as people would say you see we were right in criticizing the media physically manipulate us but i have heard from many people who said they were shocked as well which was a backlash online at twitter facebook everywhere i thought this through and decided to file a complaint to the country's media watchdog. the original demonstrations that call for planned fuel tax hikes to be dropped and then grew into why the anti-government protests been alleging other potential sources of the discord

including russian ones hit the streets of paris to look for would be agitated. by you in paris to make people protest known that do. not need. to win your chest. and your chest when you pretty good is it that you would just think you would. move would. make you the first just the news in your mouth the mainstream media say that russia is behind these protests you must be wearing a yellow vest on saturdays. we always whistle is just a. little get your story of. russia's alleged online meddling house surfaced once again this time though moscow can't be blind the new york times has

reported that the group of democratic party members undertook a secret project to test online tactics during an election in the us it occurred in the state of alabama last year by employing methods allegedly used by russia to influence campaigns. for years the public you me were barash by stories of russian bots on t.v. radio papers daily they told us of malicious programs of evil software soulless slaves puton an existential threat to america take the alabama election a year ago russian bartz the media reported interfered medaled corrupted on behalf of republican candidates roy moore so surprise a tougher supporting more they both have a deep love of country the countries russia but still rather. choose for it's

pretty alarming when a guy's lives in a fluent russian or speaks fluent russian russian it everywhere year later is moving into the oval office one might wonder why on earth russia would bother with a massive disinfo mation campaign in alabama of all places to france taliban come on as juicy a targets room or him self was clueless about it had no idea why this was happening so as is republican tradition he blame the democrats for setting him up the democrats as a source are tradition change the subject and insulted him. maybe more should check with putin who shares his views on depriving people of their civil rights here is where it gets really good the new york times did some digging and found

a report titled the alabama project and figured out those weren't putin's bots at all they were faked dressed up to look like russian bots we orchestrated and a labrat false flag operation that planted the idea that the more campaign was amplified on social media by a russian but that i've seen some dirty stuff and politics all over the world but this this is platinum tear this on this deplorable and dirty tricks turns out it was all of fake psyop orchestrated by a group of i.t. experts who wanted to help the democrat win by cheating by lying and by their fraud being millions of voters in an attempt to frame the republican as being helped by russia the guy who allegedly financed all of this is billionaire reid

hoffman co-founder of linked in and apparently a guy with a really faulty moral compass often comes with the money my experience now here is the kicker and lighty is telling people shouldn't worry it's only one hundred thousand dollars peanuts when it comes to elections whatever world the democrats live in a hundred grand is change. joe trippi a season's democratic operative said it was impossible that one hundred thousand dollar operation had an impact on the race journalists no longer report the news they report their opinions same new york times when talking about how alleged to think russian facebook accounts spend the same money hundred thousand dollars on advertising on a national campaign the disclosure adds to the evidence of the broad scope of the

russian influence campaign so when a democratic group is all but who are spending one hundred grand on this information on lies framing and defaming someone it's just one hundred grand pocket change but if it's the russians at one hundred thousand dollars becomes an absolute fortune crime against america and god i've always been suspicious that the russians bought in there it was slim z. and was probably made up simply because that's the kind of saying that the democratic party does they make things up in order to create the basis for an attack on the right wing and on the conservatives this is in the character of the democratic party and in the lack of character i should say and it's a it's a criminal element that has taken over the democratic party the mainstream media

only talk about things that service that democratic party agenda and it's an agenda that we saw in syria you know it's an agenda that will lead to war it's an agenda that risks nuclear conflict with the two great nuclear powers it's an agenda that needs to be stopped. left to the alabama case came to light facebook suspended five a counseling to it saying the this was for engaging in coordinated in authentic behavior one of the people whose account was reportedly suspended earlier denied involvement in any campaign to influence the public during the alabama election. russia's economy and education through to the threat of nuclear war president vladimir putin fielded wide array of questions from journalists on thursday during his fourteenth annual q. and a with the media and we have put together for you some of the key moments.

but you know if you or. as. the u.s. is now leaving the i.n.f. treaty what's going to happen it's hard to imagine what is the rockets are located in europe what should we do of course we will have to ensure our security with concrete steps that we will let them not say later that we are trying to get an advantage we're not trying to get some advantage but merely to seek your balance to ensure our security. concern in the u.s. withdrawal from syria i don't really know what that means for example the u.s. has been present in afghanistan for the past seventeen years and almost every year they say that they are withdrawing their troops the only certain but they are still there now first question what is the presence of american troops needed in syria you but you can i don't think so but let's not forget that presence there is illegitimate but it was not agreed on but it will be there with the u.n.

security council you know with the syrian leadership if the u.s. plans to withdraw the masses the right decision. will block just tell me this who said that ok between the on the us and the rest of ukraine it's going to russia you know if it was done by the ukrainian authorities if they have been forced a full economic blockade of the territory they consider their own they shoot at those they consider their own citizens almost every day civilians die though we provide humanitarian support for those living national but only not to let those people starve to death. i'm sure you will be because she was assassinated everyone knows that there is evidence script is a lie however there are sanctions against russia and complete silence in the case of saudi arabia is that where this politicized russia phobic approach is just another reason to attack russia. if it was not script help all they would have thought of something else this is obvious to me and the aim is one to hold workers growth at any cost. in my view.

relations are at a stalemate it is in the interests of both of our countries to get out of this stalemate are we interested in the stalling our relations with the u.k. yes we are and so is the u k. many western politicians and experts and even ordinary people are shasta threat they even think that you want to rule the world of course i do i just want to know if you really want this was a real end of your foreign policy. concerning ruling the world we know where the headquarters are located of those who want to do this and it's not in moscow you can connect this to defense spending the us spends over seven hundred billion dollars on all russia only forty six million of them in about all do you really think that our aim is to rule the world of the universe that this is just a cliche that's being imposed by the west in order to resolve their own domestic problem user but in the.

uk it was english when will you marry in the form and home. you know these are two different questions are you married. yes so he is married and wants me to suffer the same. first of all do they cannot and then they said my flash was bothering with the russian flag cannot bother anyone but i want to refer to keep playing who said when everyone is there the great game is finished the the great there will be a meeting where everyone will die this is a question about how i think it should get the next one of us in the world yet how's your health. do while you would not see me off. during our big q. and a journalist looking to get their questions to the president and they resorted to all kinds of ways to try to grab his attention.

live. today live live. live. live. live. live live. show us just. ok we'll have updates on the dramatic drone attacks story at gatwick airport in london the latest information coming your way after the break.

just manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. i certainly don't expect that very many people will choose to be biologically go through a big biological will move your body isn't working for a while it also means your mind isn't working so well i believe that indeed we will have pretty much no biologically old people even though course we will have

a much greater number of cool if we old people. will come back britain security minister has revealed that he met with defense chiefs just before they got to make apple drones scared to address an airport terrorist attack threat. the aviation threat is real aviation is still a blue ribbon the vent for these terrorists and al qaeda are resurgent they have reorganized they are pushing more and more plots towards europe and have become familiar with new methods and still aspire to aviation attacks wallace told britain's sunday times newspaper thoughts of an al qaeda or aviation attack are even ministers quote awake at night the report notes that the terror group's growing capabilities will force a security crackdown in the wake of the get we can today when drones paralyzed but

in second busiest airport early in the week sometimes hours you came in said are concerned that the u.s. withdrawal from syria is a problem warning it creates a new safe haven for is the best. i speak now to patrick head internet executive editor of twenty first century wired dot com news website that of your own patrick now what a story an assisted in this turn so we had this gatwick drone supposedly a drone was actually found earlier today within hours the suspects been publicized throughout the u.k. media named and their whole lives exposed in detail they've been released the authorities now admit they might actually not have been any drone they can't be sure that they're what nothing's going on. well there's a lot of unconfirmed information the first thing is this follows a pretty familiar pattern where by if you're accused of anything politically or otherwise in the press will then sort of try you as guilty this is become the new

normal with regards to the western press but again no idea exactly of the culprit of a crime of a motive but the timing is certainly uncanny with regards to this statement by ben wallace and of course the the the really big leading article in the times over the weekend so this does also follow a familiar pattern of i would say i would call it holiday fear there's often you see stories like this over the holiday seasons with regards to air travel because so many people are traveling by air it's a good opportunity to get people's attention as to the seriousness of security concerns surrounding terrorist attacks regarding air travel and so forth so these stories tend to get a lot more traction over the holiday season than they would otherwise as i mentioned earlier we've actually got the police saying that you know they're not

sure there was a dry and they called safe based on eyewitness reports and at the same time you've got the security minister from britain saying that you know we should be concerned about drones that he met with defense chiefs just before they say incident happened talking about. terrorist attack threats fans that were being prepared for something i don't know what's your take on this well one possibility of what might have transpired here is there could have been a drill regarding the airport security services with with gallic airport for instance that could have been part of a drill and anti terror drill that might involve drones quite often we've seen in the past after so. incidents like this then we find out yes there was in fact some drills or the you know the airport or transport hub or city or school or whatever the institution had been going through their paces with regards to terrorism drill maybe that's why this statement was released or ben wallace said that he had been

talking about this just the other day and lo and behold we have this incident but it's an incident which didn't happen apparently so again this points back to the possibility of a drill. perhaps and maybe this just hasn't been admitted or formalized in the press yet but but certainly there's a little bit of. marketing with regards to al qaeda right now the remarketing the al qaeda brand so the statements are quite silly in fact that al qaeda sat quietly in the corner this is a quote the times article i don't think this sort of militias. that were executing civilians hardened killers i don't call that sitting quietly in the corner for the last eight years not sure exactly what he's talking about but one thing is the u.k. the u.s. nato member states have been actively supporting al-qaeda in syria for the better

part of the last say five or six years arming them training them providing them with all sorts of material support really allowing them to grow and prosper and get hardened battlefield experience and entrenched positions in syria so. i think that should be a topic of debate and conversation but that's been completely brushed under the rug and instead you get these talking points about a new al qaeda threat we should all be afraid and they might be targeting airlines you know what exactly you know people at home might be thinking there isn't a terrorist threat anymore is that we've just seen the u.s. pulling out of syria saying islamic state which was considered the may just. it is being defeated you've got u.k. authorities saying that this is just creating basically you know a safe space for terrorists groups to to strengthen and to draw what is the threat from terrorists and here we talk and i don't know the main threat is that of gold

always not military. well the they said in the statement the times article is quite extraordinary saying that because trump has announced the withdrawal of u.s. troops from syria and afghanistan this is created a new safe haven for terrorists and my question is with regards to syria where where is the safe haven and how is it a safe haven because if you look at the areas that have been under control of the syrian arab army areas they've liberated they've absolutely cleansed the areas of islamic state. as well so certainly if northeastern syria becomes liberated by the by damascus with the support of the russian military and the other allied forces in that coalition there is going to be no al-qaeda in isis at least in syria so they're referring to turkey being the safe haven or iraq and again the same thing in iraq the iraqi government and. have done a tremendous job flushing out isis since two thousand and fourteen but only since

the u.s. has reestablished positions along the border in syria on the iraqi side then you've had a resurgence in isis activity you know with along the euphrates river so i think it's a pointless statement by the u.k. minister to make that kind of a statement it seems like a generalized kind of abstract statement that doesn't really reflect the details and the nuance of the situation on the ground i think there's a general chorus of disapproval of trump withdrawing u.s. troops from syria as if this is somehow a bad thing this is a harbinger of sort of another disaster for the first. security international security one of fact equate it may quite be the opposite in fact it specially if you look at syria and the areas that have been liberated and are under syrian government control there is no al-qaeda there is no isis putting appreciate your

time and your views on this thanks so much for joining us patrick henningsen executive editor of the twenty first century wired on news website. saudi arabia is violating the un brokered cease fire on yemen in a blatant manner and continuing mass bombing campaigns in the country that is according to a claim from yemen's who think rebels although riyadh insists that the rebels who are the ones breaking the truce ceasefire agreed by the sides in sweden came into effect tuesday. so do warplanes continue to fly intensely over the day over the past forty eight hours they have conducted for two rates on the provinces of solder jorth and margaret. the head of the u.n. team monitoring you have a ceasefire arrived in the. dutch major general patrick that traveled from the southern city of aid to where the country's internationally recognized government is in exile from sanaa which is mostly held by kelantanese team of headed to the

port city of the data flashpoint the fighting. and this comes as the yemeni warriors increasingly making u.s. media headlines of human rights watch told artie's worlds apart show american political infighting is finally bringing the for you conflict to public attention. i know you've been trying to raise awareness of the conflict in yemen for quite some time but it's long been a bit of friend or fun war why all the attention now starting with the attention on saudi arabia garnered by. murder and the international attention that created which caused an increased focus on saudi arabia and its role in its policies not just to best to cleave but abroad as well the more their international supporters like the united states and the united kingdom pull back from their support of the saudi coalition that will create not only military pressure on the saudi coalition but

also political pressure to come to a political resolution and do you think the the saudi authorities really care about the political pressure they do care and they can't act alone and they do need the international support the international legitimacy the international cover that the united states and united kingdom in particular have provided to them in this war. because they were the city watching r.t. job with the latest updates said half an hour. you mentioned six thirty five and you have a career and a career involves using your arse hole in your computer and things like that in an

office and perhaps you sort of getting fixed a circular. you could have to stop doing all this in this kind of you lou the minutes must be for. my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up winning it in a box. or out at a very strong magnetic field on my head in my head. it's like a real hard pressure my skin burns and that wireless access point there just continues on with our students in the schools. we are just continually faith in our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electoral small and it's getting worse. yet.
