as a spy you have to really. committed jihad this. and then there are some who wanted to counter everything they want to do and then trying to dismantle everything they were doing so you have to really become a good. to them you have to follow your own family in order to hold them. but. i. sees a ninth successive weekend of yellow vest protests with thousands of demonstrators clashing with police. the longest government shutdown in u.s.

history and its fourth week with the border wall between the democrats and donald trump showing no signs of winding down also. this is day to day just to do and for good to see. the british prime minister another humiliation in parliament just ahead of tuesday's crucial vote on e.u. default. welcome to our sunday program here on r.t. international are running down the top stories of the week off today. has seen a ninth successive weekend of yellow protests with demonstrators keeping up the pressure on the government our correspondent. in the midst of the.

oh. tensions are rising here at the up to three or three in paris one of the protests in the city one of many protests taking place across france officials think is saying thirty two thousand people taking part in those figures that some lower than the fifty thousand took paula to fish in the last weekend but the yellow vests movements have often to speech of 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 for. the.

good. there's water cannons now in full force trying to push protesters away. that water cannon 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 those flash pools and those to cast ballots as well as what looked like to be someone can aides and a mobile police force now you can see running in the hole dressed in black you could just see behind me that is us. five is just the period 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 once why we have to move as that is tear gas of being out pushed out there are around five thousand offices taking part in the security over paris eighty thousand across from people i've spoken to the chalet shown say yes this is act nine this is the ninth consecutive weekends but this is not going to stop and this is going to continue. and it was not only the french capital that experienced protest on saturday in not thousands took to the streets with police deploying tear gas on the crowds and hundreds marched to pay tribute to those who were killed during the protests at the end they released yellow balloons in the air and laid flowers to honor the victims

. the u.s. government shutdown moved into its twenty second day becoming the longest in the history of the country and this week has seen accusations flying back and forth between democrat leaders and donald trump. democrats in congress have refused to acknowledge the crisis president trump mustapha holding murtha people hostage might stop manufacturing a crisis stoke fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration and must reopen the government the federal government remains shut down for one reason and one reason only because democrats will not fund border security no president should pound the table and demand he gets his way or else the government shuts down senator chuck schumer has repeatedly supported a physical barrier in the past along with many other democrats they change their

mind only after i was elected president on wednesday the us president stormed out of his talks with his democratic counterparts branding them a total waste of time he said that when house speaker nancy pelosi refused to approve funding for his border wall he simply told her bye bye. former florida state democratic party chairman and american political commentator steve malzberg have rather differing views on the border won't shut down. he hit on every note and you know what's holding all this up you know what's keeping the government shutdown and holding all this up is the fact that nancy pelosi says no wall not one penny that's not negotiating this was a purely political attempt to help you saying poll numbers where sixty three percent of the people in america now say they don't want the war and they want to turn back on his statements about mexico is still going to pay for the wall because

of tariffs that's nonsense we're lowering the tariffs to be less money coming in it's exactly the opposite almost every democrat including schumer voted for a fence a few years ago with obama and love the fence and make speeches about how they need a wall obama made speeches about it now it's immoral because it's trump who wants it so please trump will declare a national emergency reopen the government take the funding from the military and guess what the democrats won't like that either so nothing donald trump could do that won't negotiate with them any movie makes it go to criticize so you know it is what it is that's the political reality today when i think backs of times of presidents democrat or republican who asked for national time like candy during the cuban missile crisis or obama when we killed osama bin ladin or bush with nine eleven those were real national situations the problem is is that when we have a real national crisis two thirds of this country will not believe president trump

based on all his past behavior to make the case for the border wall traveled to the mexican border in the u.s. state of texas that he was shown some of the contraband crossing into the country. this is not a manufactured. heavy. when

i took the oath of office i swore to protect our country and that is what i will always do my you do strange is presented. with a detailed proposal to secure the border and staff will get drug smugglers and human trafficking. and while the standoff over the border wall continues the media did not stand aside with some channels going further than others and fanning the flames is our correspondent ok let's. take a look at what this local fox affiliate did with donald trump speech to the nation earlier this week now look forward to appears to be doctored showing donald trump sticking out his tongue between sentences which he didn't do in the original video

now the news director of q thirteen admitted this was problematic this does not meet our editorial stand and we regret if it is seen as betraying the president in the negative light even before the speech we heard a number of voices calling for it not to be aired like they have done with other presidents and other times the networks should refuse. to turn over the airwaves to donald trump tonight for what they know objective way to be a steady stream of lies first of all just because john wants to address the nation doesn't mean network should air otherwise they're just passing on his lies unfiltered and some of the fact checking also got interesting for example down terms claim that ninety percent of the heroin in the united states comes from over the border was widely criticized because most of that comes through legal ports of entry and a wall wouldn't really do much to change that however one claim that donald trump made about two thirds of women who were smuggled across the border being raped in

the process turned out to be true so conveniently c.b.s. then removed it from their fact check and us mainstream media continues to show this reel of footage of u.s. border patrol agents dumping out and kicking over water that was left for migrants in the hot desert areas here's video of border patrol agents dumping water on the ground water that was meant to be left for migrants this is from the two thousand based aid group now the video is supposed to be an example of cruelty and heartlessness by immigration and forces and it certainly is however the video first surfaced in two thousand and thirteen and it was filmed back in two thousand and eleven these were obama's guys they have nothing to do with trump's border patrol and it's worth noting that obama actually deported more immigrants than any other president in u.s. history washington d.c. is in a state of paralysis the government is shut down donald trump is demanding funding for his border wall and the democrats are adamant that they will not give it to him

it seems like the partisanship and division that is so widespread in washington d.c. has now found its way onto americans airwaves cable mopp and r.t. new york. with just days to go before a crucial brookside vote in parliament on tuesday to resume a had a busy week trying to push a divorce plan through the start of the backing that she was perhaps hoping for the british prime minister was faced with a barrel of criticism once again. deal is dead is the deadest. i believe it is possible to have a relationship which is deep in place with the european union that gives us the freedom to do what we want to do. a minister has been recklessly wasting time holding the country to ransom with the threat of no deal the prime minister of peace the facts there is little support for a deal or no deal. why on earth would we walk away from this to be

frank i have lost trust in the prime minister's ability to negotiate a good do. if this deal is rejected is that we have the risk of. making derogatory comments about that on the subject of bricks it happens to be. affixed to the windscreen of my wife's car yes i'm sure all the only remove gentleman would suggest. i was a wife is some of the property. for now it. could be forced to draft

a new deal as the current one is not expected to pass on tuesday and with a growing number of m.p.'s expressing their opposition to the prime minister's plan another option is the u.k. leaves the e.u. and its institutions without any deal in place and with the uncertainty there are also been calls for an extension of article fifty which could give the u.k. more time to negotiate the divorce tourism a has ruled out calling for a second referendum but that too could be yet another possibility frustration over the pace of negotiations has been building up both inside and outside parliament. reports. meet on a subaru she's a conservative politician and a vocal opponent of bragg's it but this week some of her opponents came to westminster and got more vocal than her. right political or you know if you were offended by wireless i just think this is astonishing this is this is what has happened to our country something has happened the debate over how

britain's departure from the e.u. should look or whether it should take place until now has turned rather ugly this is the palace of westminster is where british politicians work and the area around it is a public street as you can see anybody can walk down here there can be demonstrators as well and it's not unusual on any given day to see a politician maybe a member of parliament or even a senior minister simply walk out of here and towards abingdon green here where they might be taking part in a t.v. debate or an interview but that practice is increasingly under threat as the atmosphere here turns increasing in times over the impending gregg's that day and the fact that there is no agreed plan of action in place this was an a subaru trying to leave after the interviews. that you are going to lose your ministry and the politicians aren't the only ones getting abuse from agitated

members of the public sky news anchor kay burley was heckled by pro brags that protestors while live on the air. flow throughout her world the world. was and owen jones a leftwing journalist and author was taunted by a group of right wing protesters i believe everything going with. him right surely this situation outside parliament has now become an issue for parliament to deal with i must say to the house that it is frankly didn't. give members of parliament and journalists. go about their business in fear. this situation cannot stand over sixty politicians have written a letter to london's chief of police warning of the deteriorating security situation around parliament and demanding better protection some of this nation's

i've said that a certain degree of abuse or heckling simply because of the territory of being a elected politician or just a public figure in a functioning democracy but the police here now have the relevant difficult task of balancing the freedom to protest of some with protecting the safety of others including my. beliefs in the german city of but i am and have released a video of monday's attack on the m p for the migrant alternative for germany party it shows a three man approaching sixty six year old if the member frank magnets from behind they run up to him and attack him before the group fully leaving the victim on the ground at the police investigation is on going frank magnets suffered serious injuries remains hospitalized the f.t. described the incident as an assassination attempt and other party members spoke to

see about the attack. well. i was at the new year function organized by the wiser courier newspaper of the party shortly before six and went to the car park to my car i took a short cut through an area i don't really like and there was a mistake and i went through the square next to the c.d.c. or there are normally no people there the only people there were there were two laborers who are loading the car and i went past them then around thirty meters away or so the point is reached i was you knocked unconscious when you came round i realized i was lying in the street and someone was shaking my arm and asking if my wallet and my body phone were still in me that person then dropped me against a wall lot was running down my face or someone called the police in an ambulance last friday and if the office and lower saxony was targeted in another violent attack and no one was injured but the blast course of it damage to the building as well as the neighboring properties and here holes three suspects have since been

detained and police are working on the assumption that the attack was politically motivated a german lawyer and a media pundit maximillian told us that members don't feel safe in many parts of the country. there is an atmosphere in the country that everything which is right wing. conservative is man is and is evil and i think there are some crazies and some criminals who believe that they don't have the right to do good while these acts which are regretted by the majority of people but in six and there is no problem there is that once there is a public hearing if it is able to to hold it but when you're on brain when in parts of the living it's possible to organize a demonstration or to have a public hearing for instance in kowloon devil's public hearing of three members of parliament and it couldn't be protected by the local police did means we have such

an anti far left wing extremists all over today but the conditions especially. very important makes them or ready it possible to have ordinary political life. the u.s. secretary of state has lashed out at the obama administration's middle east policies and called for a new chapter in fighting extremists like pompei zero also highlighted the main directions of current u.s. policy in the middle east but his speech in cairo did sometimes echo one that barack obama made in the same city ten years ago. i've come here to cairo to seek a new beginning between the united states and muslims around the world. at the age of self-inflicted american shame is over and so are the policies that produce so much needless suffering. now comes the real new beginning. here to iran's

leaders and people that my country is prepared to move forward president trump has reversed our willful blindness to the danger of the regime and withdrew from the failed nuclear deal with its false promises. the u.s. reimpose sanctions should never have been lifted. because commitment will not weaken. indeed none of us should tolerate these extremists. he president has made the decision to bring our troops home from syria we always do and now is the time airstrikes in the region will continue as targets arise we will keep working with our partners in the coalition to defeat isis we will continue to hunt down terrorists who seek a safe havens in libya and in yemen. speech comes during a controversial phase of the u.s. campaign in syria while withdrawing its troops from the region the united states has recently stepped up the number of asterix daniel hawkins expands on that. with

every u.s. intervention the question of when why and if a tool to withdraw its forces has sooner or later taken center stage and both debate and controversy syria is the latest example of how much confusion this discussion has already caused. the first problem to solve is how the withdrawal will look it still remains a mystery not only to the world but seemingly also to u.s. officials themselves they're all coming back and they're coming back now they said again recently that we have more time is it know if you have any more time we're going to be removing our troops i never said we're doing exactly three areas i want to wipe your time when you want to be said for months but you see. with drivers do you think they should go over time but we're oh we're withdrawing is it mission accomplished as with george bush's iraq war speech things that would look that

clear and simple. and the biggest problem of all just how will the u.s. balance the interests of its permanent and temporary allies in the region we're going to be discussing the president's decision to. withdraw to do so for the northeast syria in a way that makes sure that the. defense of israel and their friends in the region is absolutely assured those other allies are the kurds the u.s. says they won't leave until they're safe and this is a red line for turkey a longstanding nato ally any kurd linked conditions or caviar to simply unacceptable for ankara. if the withdrawal is put off with ridiculous excuses like the turks are massacring kurds which does not reflect the reality we will implement this decision the dick and we haven't even spoken about containing iran. also does the defeat of isis also magically equal us exit president trump certainly

seem to think so we have won against isis we've beaten them and we've beaten up badly but others of like. john bolton still talk of the continuing battle against islamic state us forces continue as trucks in syria which show no sign of abating which brings me to this next point. and despite the concerns of top officials the pentagon is already taking a more relaxed that is shoot to that current strike reports the continued degree of vises leads to decreased connecticut t.t.c. against the terrorist organization our intent is to reduce the number of reports while maintaining transparency reports will decrease from weekly to twice a month and releases will no longer indicates a specific time location or even target for such strikes it's an indication that the united states is not really withdrawing from from syria and then the meaningful

way i think it means that they are plan to continue with their effort to undermine and the tech the syrian government in one form or another they have not yet given up their idea of. basically promoting division within syria the effort to break off northeast syria and effectively create a separate key in that the kurdish region that effort is failing for various reasons but there are in elsewhere there's still a long term goal to prevent syria from being a strong stable united force that is independent of both washington and riyadh and if the hope for the u.s. plan in syria was a new year new strategy isn't quite materialized with the u.s. administration seemingly as confused as the rest of us are there are some of the top stories of today and of the week on the weekly here with the international

though it has been a busy few days we are back soon with more. police stations are always telling us oh we can't have everything at the same time we can have peace and democracy blah blah blah in a cost situation i know war situation that's not true is that instead of telling people what you can't have everything and then failing to deliver on everything in . the fabric here and say ok you can have like some kind of peace you can have some kind of democracy you can have some kind of justice in the short term but unfortunately we cannot feel everything at the same time so someone has to make a choice.

u.s. veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. we're going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the well being of their own soldiers and their. whole ready several generations of them so i just got this memo from the star great advances officer says we're got to act and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the walls with them money on those without knives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war then surely we can risk some discomfort for an easiness for. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth if you

want to be called for rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. at the time a local television reporter from detroit is following the case closely bill proctor is well aware of the methods used by local police to close certain cases as quickly

as possible. they did this all the time. they had people make statements. whether in writing or they did the writing they had some buddies and with the suggestion that hears this and you can go home i've heard that doesn't. sound dozens of them and it wouldn't surprise me at all the three number doesn't run into the hundreds or thousands because the same cadre of bad detectives that probably were two dozen of them were in place for over thirty five years. were marked on. it. with no evidence or witness statements against him on the seventh of march nine hundred ninety seven lamar monson is sentenced to fifty years

of criminal imprisonment for the murder of kristina brown. only one element was used against him the confession that he signed. and believe that this is going to be. off years and i would not want to be in prison on. something that i wouldn't wish him off worst enemy just being processed for you to go into a sale. the whole process of it is comfortable. you feel like your freedom is being siphoned away from. you one thing about america.
