i. think. the headlines this week sweep through paris again another round of anti-government protests police used tear gas to disperse crowds. one hundred fifty arrests made. president vladimir putin. threats of nuclear war ukraine crisis as well as other issues in his year. the media. and the secret project by u.s. democrats the. state election is revealed in

a new york times report claims the methods of. much maligned. i welcome to our team international on the weekly rundown of this week's top stories. parasol clashes again on saturday i made a fresh wave of yellow vest protests throughout the french capital across the country more than thirty eight thousand gathered for the sixth weekend of antigovernment matches. five. years ago. if.

police reported making one hundred forty two arrests in paris right officers were once again out in force using water cannon and tear gas shot devinsky sent this report well 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 we're not for the thing this cathedral is situated they were throwing project shows that the police and then the police have responded with this tear gas this is one of many clashes we've already witnessed in paris as usual is 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 legs as they were trying to run out for 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 i just take a look behind you see some of the special mobilized police units who are out in force some one thousand two hundred and twenty five police officers were being mobilized and security offices far fewer than what we've seen in previous weeks eight thousand last week and that's because many people food. the protests this weekend would have died down there would be fewer protests this and the sunni 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 this police force is coming in far fewer many people saying the reasons behind that is some of the solutions are actually happy with what's being offered by the government including an increase in one hundred 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 that 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 i'm told on the streets of paris ready to show their own anger their own ease with the french government's current policies led by emmanuel mccall. shocking scenes have been captured of police drawing a gun on rioters before being forced to flee just as attacked the three officers with stones and novel objects the officers left one of their motorbikes on the ground as they left or thirty seven launched an investigation into that incident. or demands of the yellow vests have been broadcast to viewers around the world but some of the coverage in france itself has come in for criticism and national channel france three was slammed for censoring its broadcast after appearing to

change the card of one of the protesters initially said to mark one out but the last word was deleted this prompted accusations of deliberate doctoring on social media the channel had done this by mistake or we caught up with the protester who is at the very center of this controversy. so much i was shocked like many others this censorship by from history cast a 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 people would say you see we were right in criticizing the media manipulate. i've heard from many people who said they were shocked as well there's a backlash online twitter facebook everywhere i thought this through and decided to file a complaint to the country's media watchdog. the original demonstrations called for planned fuel tax hikes that we dropped. government protests have been alleging

other potential sources of the discord including russian ones we went on the streets of paris so look for some of those would be agitated. by you in paris to make people protest. but. not near. as. good as if. the mainstream media say that russia is behind these protests you must be wearing a yellow vest on saturdays. this story. demonstrators unusually graphic way to show their anger towards

france's president. using a shocking performance as cause an outcry on social media the french prime minister condemned the protesters behavior. more beheading of the head of state acts of unprecedented violence against the police and to semitic justice in the heart of paris trivializing such acts is out of the question they must be unanimously condemned and punished and local officials in the department of sharon where the incident took place issued a statement saying the incidents been referred to the public prosecutor's office for the authorities have confirmed that a probe has been opened earlier we discussed the development of the protests with dennis franciscan advisor to former french presidential candidate marine le pen. the movement has evolved from a simple tax reform frustration into a more i would say demand of

a deeper change of friends economic and social regulation what we see right now is a more radicalized movement now they are asking about a referendum. now did you know the start criticizing the banking system destroy rebuilding against message integration and against european union and the government and those in power of course cannot tolerate that's unacceptable for them and this is why you see such a harsh response from from the police obviously this social movements everywhere in europe do your pin you're nice killing everybody is killing the workers the middle class workers like those you know decent human being or working and the only thing the asking is to eat decently. russia's alleged online meddling has surfaced once again but this cannot be blamed the new york times is reporting that a group of democratic party members undertook a secret project to test online tactics through an election in the u.s. it took place in the state of alabama last year by employing methods allegedly used

by russia to influence campaigns is what is more aggressive. for years the public you me were barash by stories of russian bots on t.v. radio papers daily he 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 rough. edges for them it's pretty alarming when a guys 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 disinform asian campaign in alabama of all places to fence taliban of both on as juicy a target room or himself 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 defrauding millions of voters in an attempt to frame the republican is 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 and 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 seasoned 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 bend 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 russian 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 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. after the alabama case came to light facebook suspended five accounts linked to it says this was for engaging in coordinated in authentic behavior and one of the people whose account was reportedly suspended earlier tonight any involvement in the campaign to influence the public during the obama election. and other news that readers so hard at work trying to figure out whether a heated top level bricks at the u.k. parliament should i'm socialistic comment and people are asking whether opposition leader jeremy corbyn stupid woman threw a moment with prime minister to resign may. have it for themself. it is would be the responsible position of any government to put in place contingency arrangements so no deal. would reduce zoster for our country and no

responsible government would ever allow a kind of christmas and it is not going to stop paying down the chimney on the terrorist list of the sun lounger. it's the prime minister who is supposed to be on the take you negotiate. the climate is subtle to bring an acceptable deal it's a long time a gentleman doesn't want to see money being spent on no deals he's got an easy also for this to. cut the budget no. it's kind of the sojourners to glenn beck this must be tolerated. during prime minister's question time to date was afraid to use who i believe was seeking to

turn a debate about national policies facing our country into a time to moment as stupid people. this is big guy to ignore use the words stupid woman about the problem is still cool anyone else and i'm completely opposed to the use of sexist old misogynist language in absolutely any form. just look like stupid woman to me i can see stupid but not the woman. from russia's economy and education to the threat of nuclear conflict president vladimir putin fielded a whole range of questions from journalists on thursday during his fourteenth annual q. and a with the media put together some of the key moments. as

. the u.s. is now leaving the i.n.f. treaty what's going to happen it's hard to imagine what if 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 with this 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 they are still there now first question when is the presence of american troops needed in syria

you pushed you quite don't think so 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 mass is the right decision. they will block just tell me this who set the blockade between the on the us and the rest of ukraine and it's going to russia you know if it was done by the ukrainian authorities if they haven't forced a full economic blockade of the territory that they consider their own they shoot at those but when 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. because she was assassinated everyone knows that there is evidence script is allowable 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 the russian if it was not script 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 is in the interests of both of our countries to get out of this stalemate are we interested in me 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 see russia as a 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 any 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 u.s. spends over seven hundred billion dollars on all russia only forty six billion of them in about all do you really think that our aim is to rule the world with the

u.s. that this is just a cliche that's being imposed by the west in order to resolve their own domestic problems but in the. approach that was english when will you marry in the home and home. 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 kipling who said when everyone is there the great game is finished the at the great there will be a meeting whenever. you this is a question about how i think it should be the next one yet tells you how. you were not seen enough. during the big q. and a journalists were keen to get their questions to the president and resort to

some creative ways to grab his attention. sure of the. scandal that broke over the weeks surrounding around journalists working for the german magazine der spiegel who routinely fabricated stories for years is now faking taking on a new dimension reports now say a class wrote

a school of readers to donate to the people featured in his stories often syrian children for example or the notions that ended up in his personal bank account spiegel has since published an apology over the fabrications they've said it's the worst thing that could happen to a news outlet the magazine also stressed that support that we managed to trip on for so long u.s. ambassador to germany has also weighed in he's accused like a scene of being steeped in anti-americanism these stories largely focused on u.s. policies and certain segments of the american people it's clear that we were told that it by institutional bias the anti american bias that the magazine has exploded since the election of president trump a care home or a political commentator and publisher told us the u.s. is being selective in which german media stories had criticize it. they take those stories that make america look bad and take those john list who are most critical and do not care on those people and those journalist who did fake stories

about syria and most of the stories about syria and this war there were fake and were lies and america it's of course just taking those who don't distort their their present policy policy they do with the politics of america first america only america great and whatever. they don't they just don't care anymore whether it is just very obvious or whether it is not obvious. security minister has warned of the potential for terror attacks at u.k. airports owing to what he calls the resurgence of al qaida. the aviation threat is real aviation is still a blue ribbon divin for these terrorists al qaeda are resurgent they have real benoist they are pushing more and more plots towards europe and have become familiar with new methods and still a sponsor aviation attacks wallace told britain's sunday times newspaper that full seven are. keeping ministers awake like in the statement he said the terrorist

group is developing technology to bring down passenger jets and the sunday times adds that u.k. ministers are concerned by the u.s. withdrawal from syria warning that it will create a new safe haven for islamists. an executive editor of news site twenty first century wire thinks the british government fails to grasp the nature of the threat 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 for security international security 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 of the times article i don't think the 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. from myself and a team here join us again in thirty minutes for the latest global news headlines where we see shea we'll take you through the latest updates.

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 happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent slice last year some with four hundred to five hundred trades per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars . china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only.

come to call russia no one has ever no one has ever had a country never even had about most school.

very many people will choose to be biologically will. move your body if. your mind isn't working so well i believe we will have pretty much no biologically old people we will have a much greater number of old people. hello and welcome to cross talk for all things considered i'm peter lavelle the us senate strongly rebuke saudi arabia over the course shogi murder and calls for an end to
