your comment that. me just got a very. good politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. somebody wanted. to write for us this is what it looks like three of the more people. interested in the waters in the. first. place oh i. get it best rally sweep across france for nine consecutive weekends causing chaos

on the streets. three people were killed and forty seven in jettison large explosions destroys a bakery in the center of paris authorities say a gas leak. the top biathletes refuses to shake callous with a winning brush and rival because he was previously pounds to do you think. live from the russian capital this is all t. international top story yet a vest activists a keeping up the pressure on the french government thousands took to the streets for the ninth weekend in iraq.

oh. of course tensions are rising here the up to three or three in paris one of the protests in the city one of many protests taking place across france today officials think is saying thirty two thousand people taking part in those figures that some lower than the fifty thousand took politician last weekend but the yellow vests movements have often just speeches those official figures saying that they only show a small proportion of the people who are out on the streets we have had violence here in new york to creoles. her outlook on. the. world. because. there's water cannons

now in full force trying to push protesters away. that would to come in and tear gas plumes coming up from the ground we've seen the protesters throwing a projectiles at the police we've seen the police responding. to gas that's just being dispersed there's flash pulls and those cast ballots as well as what looked like to be stun grenades and a mobile police force now you can see running in the hole dressed in black you could just see behind me that is that. five has just appeared been coming along people reveling around that as that our gas comes in the air the tear gas

is just moving we can hear it now people are moving to want to why when i have to move i started to tear gas of being out pushed out there are around five thousand offices taking part in the security of paris today eighty thousand across france people i've spoken to the chelation all say yes this is act nine this is the ninth consecutive weekends but this is not going to stop this is going to continue. to appease the protesters the french president is launching a three month long national debate some have likened it to us louis the sixteenth it just before the french revolution but even though the current government says it wants a discussion there are certain subjects that appear to be off limits. those who think a few thousand people can make us question our institutions a wrong idea about nipple always or causes the debates and not adopted unity for

people to offload all of their frustrations nor are we questioning what we've done in the past eighteen months but we're not replaying the election to do what the national debate will starts next week but a recent poll shows only forty percent of citizens are willing to take part yellow vest members on the streets of paris we spoke to say a debate is not what they've been asking for a sportsperson going nascar to this national debate is above all a national masquerade the government has already announced that after this debate you will not go back to previous politics the fact that the government remove certain issues from the debate shows it's not a real one the government doesn't want to face a fresh election campaign because it knows it will. go on even this from that idea of a national debate is good but the way the current government wants to arrange an appliance is completely inappropriately gold. no one wants the national debate he's proposing not us not the yellow vests not the french people we're waiting for him to resign

so we can say good bye miss you mccraw on. meanwhile the l a vast movement is inspiring people in the u.k. hundreds have been demonstrating in london demanding an end to a stereotype and calling for a general election however those bright jackets have come to symbolize a range of other courses to party boyko explain. the brits love a french fashion trend and the very latest is the yellow vest this weekend left wing activists to staging a demonstration in london demanding a general election and calling for increased public spending it doesn't matter which way you vote in the referendum you need to write the story governor what we need now is a general election and austerity we'll be doing it in solidarity of the other of us over in france every day is going to these high fees jackets which other jacket choice for people trying to bring down governments plays do come please do. but there is another british incarnation of the yellow vest trend see if you can spot

the difference you're all good we will hold fewer words it's these yellow vests appeared to be in favor of a hard core no deal version of bragg's it in recent weeks they've started staging small regular protests in westminster where they referred to the prime minister as a traitor they've also become known for the heckling of politicians and journalists naipaul them and. we have to be absolutely i do object to being called a nazi actually. for the. greater security just try just feel sorry for your parents raising straw. for you are dangerously low balling. oh oh. oh oh oh. oh it's now emerged that one prominent self-styled yellow vest leader is james god he's a supporter of the far right english defense league priestess lama phobic comments

online and live streams a lot of his so-called political activism. uses crowd funding to collect donations from supporters but after the uproar over the group's intimidating behavior in westminster last week facebook and pay pal have removed his accounts updates on his twitter feed claim he's been silenced and he won't answer r.t.s. requests for an interview he has put up an alternative funding page online with a message saying that now more than ever it's important to be heard so unlike in france here in the u.k. it looks like it's a case of two causes keen to claim one vest the original yellow vest movement mushroom organically and spontaneously across france in response to a non-popular tax hike whereas in a way the symbol of the yellow vest here in the u.k. is still up for grabs the left wing incarnation is moderate it's aligned to groups

like the people's assembly and the stop the war campaign although they repeatedly stated aim is none other than bringing down the conservative government in favor of a labor one then there's the right wing yellow vests a group that on the surface just appears angry that the brags that they voted for could be slipping away from them and also appears to contain members with far right sympathies who might be donning these yellow vests in order to legitimize their views whatever you make of the movement it appears that they're trying to capitalize on a french fashion one that appeared effortless in france but is looking a bit try hard here in the u.k. . and until stereotype best in the u.k. told us the far right has been trying to hijack the yellow vests symbol. so it takes inspiration from the french movement which are taken on the french government for similar reasons the demands they're making are similar to what we've been

campaigning for years on around housing austerity public services and the rest and they are winning there whether you voted leave or remain is irrelevant the fact is that a stereotype is literally killing people in this country it has reached detrimental levels and we need this tory government now and that's something that should unite us the far right we're trying to use that and mobilize against refugees and migrants and ethnic minorities are not welcome in our demonstration and we will make it clear tomorrow that we have campaign against the racist scapegoating by this government we support refugees we were involved in the convoy to cull a few years ago and that is well movement stands for. more news from paris now three people have been killed after a large explosion ripped through a bakery in the city center forty seven other people were injured with ten said to be in a critical condition. during

. a gas leak at the bakery a suspected to have course the blast the incident happened just before nine o'clock on saturday morning the two firefighters killed had been responding to the report of a gas leak and were caught up in the explosion the spanish foreign ministry confirmed that there was a female spanish tourist we spoke to several eyewitnesses. they were just working out the building started to shake heads and smashing glass everyone looked out their windows and a lot of window panes had been smashed about fifteen minutes later there were police men in the courtyard just saying been an explosion need to evacuate everybody out and that's what happened to us we saw that our window was completely opened from the sound of the explosive it was a massive sound i mean it sounded it was it was for from my experience it's kind of

like a bomb we were asked you know what's happening nobody has a clue of what's happening like twitter after that which up close on. live. a bathroom on star has refused to shake hands with a russian rival who came back from a taping banned his first world cup stage when eleven time world champion martin four card of france blank tell xander larkin of who completed a two year ban in twenty sixteen r.t. correspondent dan of half the story. this world cup stage victory is the first big win for alexander log enough since he ended his two here doping disqualification but for the russian the moment is somewhat shadowed by the reaction of people he beat in the race for them the fact that he was a cheat still wrangles i'm not happy that logan offers one i'm ok with the fact

he's allowed to compete now but he won't get my respect as he's never apologized for doping we need to be fair his victory is a disgrace logan of himself could have apologized in front of the biathlon thermally if you use drugs there is no place for you here but if you show you progress about what happened people will find it much easier to trust you logon of fans have been pointing out that the athlete served his sentence he himself says he's ready to personally talk this thing over with any of his fellow athletes you're going to still like it repeating and i say that to everybody open for dialogue with anybody or fleet and i'm ready to answer all of their questions face to face his full story basically revolves around the fact that right before the solitary lympics in twenty fourteen one of his former doping tests came out positive he got caught taking the same drug that brought down disgraced cyclist

lance armstrong's reputation throw poet and a stimulant which basically boosts an athlete's insurance biathlon legend all of beyond dalen is one of those who says logging of should be given a chance to start with a clean slate excuse the pun he's already served his punishment we have to respect his comeback however many from the biathlon family didn't like his victory logan teammates in fact also have offered support. just because. on. the most awful. lot of on a lot of. north. london most of us have the reality of what occurred. and frankly this is not an uncommon situation many athletes resumed their careers

in spite of hostility towards them following doping scandals and many proved that even having cheated once it doesn't mean the person will repeat their fence a sports lawyer told us that there's no justification for the french athletes behavior the all the athletes have to expect and respect. his personality and that he's doing well exceptionally well now and i think it's it has to do with respect to such behaviors cannot be justified i think everybody knows that all the press and the media as day or a little bit. against russia actually and perhaps nobody has the real yeah let's say

power to to say something or the the braveness to say well let's stop here he served his ban. we have to accept and respect him still to come on r.t. the u.s. secretary of state has branded the venezuelan government as illegitimate that story and more after the break. every major bank in the world if they were accounted for in a generally accepted accounting principles according to the rule of law they would have all been closed down many years ago but it's like the old woody allen joke he goes the doctor says dr my brother thinks he's a chicken and the doctor says here give news pills he says your understand doctor

we need the x. fraud runs the american economy without banking fraud there would be no g.d.p. whatsoever. as a spy you have to really split your own personality into two you there is a committee of jihad this. was still alive within me and then there is some who wanted to counter everything they want to do and then try and dismantle everything they were doing so you have to really become a good doctor in order to fool them you have to follow your own family in order to fool them. welcome back to. come back to this information has become something of

a crusade and the latest weapon to appear is a plug in called new scholars it ranks websites for that trustworthiness. has been taking a closer look. and casey didn't know the words plug in don't only refer to do in this but the one word option is actually a handy extension for your internet browser and now there's a great plugin to help you navigate through the world of fake news it's called news guard it won't ping up fake news alerts like the anti virus software when you click on a story link for now news gard provides descriptions for news sources not individual articles or stories right here you can see what it looks like a green red racing's signal if the website is trying to get it right or instead has a hidden agenda or i'm only publishes full of propaganda so there's a whole rating system with as many as nine criteria stuff like the responsibility

of journalists or telling a part news from opinion to name a couple so who are the champions in being as green as you can get the new york times or the washington post with a perfect record for all nine categories despite having been caught for publishing lies and it was in a one off news guard will tell you they're nowhere near being repeat offenders now someone would definitely call that fake news so technically what makes the alert switch from green to red or vice versa. we use humans not algorithms to identify unreliable needs because we believe our work should be done with transparency and accountability i knew it it's up to human beings paid on job opes one of news guards biggest investors formerly of the wall street journal was blamed for turning out fakes the news guard advisory board is also worth having a look at it features a scheme to men like the former director of the cia and n.s.a.

the first secretary of homeland security and the bush administration barack obama's former undersecretary of state for public diplomacy by the way where church stengel once said i'm not against propaganda every country does it and they have to do it to their own population and i don't necessarily think it's that awful and what these folks running the show it's pretty easy to guess if our team falls into the red or green territory so go download that plug in asap and always be cautious when you read r t or anything else news guards turned tomato red i just for fun downloaded the app in preparation for this interview and i looked at l.a. times dot com which is the website of the los angeles times which gets a green rating which means that the website is considered trustworthy and print yeah usually prince true and verifiable information now i'm personally suing the

los angeles times right now for defamation and lie because they printed lies about me so i know that the rating is not one hundred percent reliable for first hand so that was my fault that was my test the leadership of the of the news guard is unfortunately people who have kind of a fraught relationship with the truth in the past and who have way too many ties to the establishment and particularly to do what we would call the deep state here in the united. former cia and n.s.a. people i would say are pretty much like the last people you would want to see. create this kind of. the u.s. secretary of state has lashed out at the newly re-elected president of venezuela saying he has no legitimacy compares with were backed up by the state department

the majeure a regime is illegitimate the united states will work diligently to restore a real democracy to that country the people of venezuela deserve to live in freedom in a democratic society governed by the rule of law it's time to begin the orderly transition to a new government might compare with speaking two days after nicolas madore began a new six year term as venezuela's president the head defender swale as opposition run congress has caused the inauguration illegal. though described president maduro as e.u. super and accused him of tending the country into a dictatorship speaking at a rally on friday though said he was ready to temporarily take over the presidency to hold new elections and he had the armed forces to support him nicolas maduro has ruled venezuela since the death of his former leader hugo chavez in two thousand and thirteen during that time the economy has nosedived leading to hyperinflation

and food shortages the president has consistently blamed to u.s. sanctions for the situation in his country and accuse the opposition of sabotaging the economy. this is an attempt to destabilize us let the must can play the game because they can their own peace we will continue our work because there is much that needs to be done for venezuela really appeal to the people of venezuela to mobilize and remain steadfast. well foamy u.s. diplomats jim death trust believes washington should avoid interfering in venice while its intended effect. clearly a declaration that washington's goal there is a regime change look i don't think it is appropriate for any government to say to the people of another country whether their constitutional processes happened with that of the leaf fall or not whether government is legitimate and to use this as grounds for trying to change the government of that country i think some degree of sovereign risk is in order it's worth the economy look i'm not

a socialist i don't like the economics of it burned over it as well in government but i don't see why it's an interesting united states to increase the misery of people through sanctions what amounts to siege warfare that harms the most vulnerable people and in order to accomplish a political regime change just seems to me not a very good neighborly policy. now food fights can and messy as an israeli needs pipette found out that softer it came to israel was the origin of a pope led middle east death. drama

definitely is right if you really want to try food. because we have it everywhere. so we had different kinds of foods here. from all different countries yes. not just israeli but i make a great. for real time that day stand forget we're on facebook and twitter our programs continue though in just a few moments. you

are that you. know that i am. i am that. i am. when lawmakers manufacture consent to step into public wealth. when the running clubs isn't protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent.

in the whole middle of the room six. million real need for. their bread for a single papists. they have a superman. they start training very young. take months of intensive schooling. rats. and they saved lives. but there's someone else living inside of me or controlling my body. the byproduct of that drug is the cause like severe depression.

because that little you need him into a zombie it's crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault the shoes crazy and all that. here's. a.

geyser this is the kaiser report yeah i'm going to have my glasses or i notice i put little rubber bands on the end else they don't slide off and. probably the next step would be like dull diapers i'm thinking. for a minute where you have every twenty minutes to stacey talking twenty nineteen were like halfway through it already by this point like you know i want to follow up on another point we made last episode because we talked about a o.c. alexander arquette. as the youngest female ever elected to the house of representatives and she's kind of. mesmerizing the media and you know what i realized is that i think she'll not only take away attention from any other democratic candidate for twenty twenty and therefore you know perhaps trump might win again reelection is that if she then becomes candidate and twenty twenty

four for the democrats and wins presidency that we will have skipped generation x. that there will never ever be a generation x. president in the united states of america that we're like the middle child of generations that's your generation that's my generation so yeah no representation political you know white house and it's going right to the i think that could be what happens that's what i'm forecasting as bait o'rourke somehow becomes president in two thousand and twenty of them will be generations kind of like generation x. was the afterbirth of the baby boomers yes i kind of like the placenta of the baby you always have to go to the mower vote and that's what it is virological am i my speaking out of my my triggering people who nobody likes to hear that sort of stuff but you know i would put it in a more eloquent sort of way and say that we are the middle child of generations or

overlooked we have the baby boomers they are huge population that.
