the way karen r.t. france is a nine consecutive weekend of yellow vests protest with thousands of demonstrators

clashing with police. the longest government shutdown in the u.s. in u.s. history and has its fourth week with the poor the war standoff between the democrats and donald trump showing no signs of ending. and. british prime minister suffers another humiliation in parliament ahead of tuesday's crucial vote on her. plan. welcome to our international and a look back at what's been happening over the last day and we start in france too because it's a ninth consecutive weekend of yellow vests protests but demonstrators keeping up the pressure on the government from paris his shot it depends.

the. the first 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 we have had violence here in new york to trails. 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 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 a little fire that's just a period been coming along people reveling around that as that i guess comes in the air the tear gas is just moving we can hear it now and people are moving to once why when i have improved as that is tear gas appear. being out pushed out

there are around five thousand offices taking part in the security of paris 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 or charlotte pinsky reporting there it wasn't only the french capital of the experience protests on saturday thousands took to the streets unarmed with police deploying tear gas there on the crowds and in leon hundreds marched to pay tribute to the victims of the protests at the end they released yellow balloons and laid flowers to all of the. u.s. government shutdown moved into its twenty third 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 well wednesday the us president stormed out of talks with his democratic current counterparts branding them a total waste of time in tweeted that when house speaker nancy pelosi refused to approve funding for his border war he told her bye bye well former florida state

democratic party chairman mitch caesar and the american political commentator steve malzberg had differing views on the border war dispute. he hit on every note and you know what's holding all this up you know it's just 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 his sagging 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 would 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 defense 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 and take the funding from the military and guess what the democrats won't like that either so nothing donald trump could do they won't negotiate with them any movie makes it a 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 well to help make his case for the will donald trump travel to the mexican border in the u.s. state of texas and while that he was shown some of the contraband crossing into american.

when i took the oath of office i swore to protect our country and that is what i will always do my administration has presented to congress with

a detailed proposal to secure the border and stop to criminal gangs drug smugglers and human trafficking. and i while the standoff over the border war does continue the media isn't standing aside with some that's going further than others and fanning the flames as reports take a look at what this local fox affiliate did with donald trump speech to the nation earlier this week now before 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 standards and we regret if it is seen as betraying the president in the negative flight even before the speech we heard a number of voices. calling for it not to be aired like they've 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 the 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 tucson 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 caleb mop and artsy new york. and elsewhere with just days to go before a crucial. moment on tuesday. reason they did have a busy week trying to push through to force plan but instead of the backing that she was hoping for once again the british prime minister faced

a barrage of criticism. is dead is the deadest. i believe it is possible to have that future relationship which is deep and close with the european union that gives us the freedom to do what we want to do. prime minister has been recklessly wasting time holding the country to ransom with the threat of no deal well the prime minister of peace the facts there is little support for a deal or no deal in this house are we. why on earth would we walk away from it to be frank or who've 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 bricks are. secure in your car making derogatory comments about threats that sticker on the subject of bricks it happens to be.

affixed to or in the windscreen of my wife's car yes i'm sure your noble gentleman wouldn't suggest for one moment i was your wife is somehow the property or chattel. house. well for now does symmetries i'm a 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 that the u.k. leaves the e.u. and its institutions without any deal in place at all may be uncertainty there have also been calls for an extension of article fifteen which would give the u.k. . more time to negotiate a divorce two reason may has ruled out calling a second referendum although two could still happen potentially and it's all

created a tense atmosphere on the streets to you as party boy code reports meet on a super 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 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 at all 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 just want to do when it comes to 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 air. flow throughout the world the world. was and owen jones a left wing journalist and author was taunted by a group of right wing pro. testers believe everything. right surely this situation outside parliament has now become an issue for parliament to

deal with i must tell you to the house that it is frankly in total if members of parliament. lists. 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 the systems have said that a certain degree of abuse or heckling simply comes of the territory of being a elected politician or just a public figure in a functioning democracy but the police here now have the right moment difficult task of balancing the freedom to protest of some with protecting the safety of others including mine. a report. this week now still to come

on the weekly the u.s. secretary of state has slammed the obama administration's middle east policies promising that big changes are on the way we'll have the details just after the break. tax rises financial survival. of the fight. thank you for. destroying that's right. you have to really. commit to jihad. that was still

alive within me and then there is the person who wanted to come to everything they want to do and trying this month and everything they were doing so you have to really become a good. tool. you have to follow your own family in order to fall the. wakely now police in the german city of bremen have released video of monday's attack on an m.p. from the anti migrant alternative for germany party it does show three men approaching sixty six year old team member frank magnets from behind two you are not him and attack him before the group flees leaving their victim on the ground

the police investigation into this is ongoing frank magnet suffered serious injuries and remains in hospital he described the incident as an assassination attempt magnets did speak to r.t. about the attack. 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 i went through the square next to the cd theatre there are normally no people there the only people there were there were two laborers who were loading their car and i went past them then around thirty meters away or so came the point at which i was knocked unconscious when he came round i realised i was lying in the street and someone was shaking my arm and asking if my wallet and my bottle phone were still in me that person then dropped me against the wall blood was running down my face someone called the police an ambulance last friday and i have to

officer so our office in the us actually was targeted in another attack that one was injured in that but the blast caused damage to the building as well as to neighboring properties and vehicles three suspects have since been detained police are working on the assumption that the attack was politically motivated jim annoy the media pundit maximillian karate told us though that the 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 madness and evil and i think there are some who created seas and some criminals who believe that they now have the right to get. these acts which are regretted by the majority of people but in saxony there is no problem if there is it that once it's there is a public hearing if you able to to hold it where you on brainworm in humber are

impossible it's not even possible to organize a demonstration or to have a public hearing that for instance in kowloon there was public hearing of three members of holland and it couldn't be protected by the local police that means we have such an anti far left wing extremists all over germany but the conditions especially really are very hard to make sure that or ready it possible to have ordinary political life. for the us secretary of state has lashed out at the barn administration's middle eastern policies and called for a new chapter in fighting extremism mike pompei also highlighted the main directions of the current u.s. policy in the region but his speech in cairo did sometimes echo the 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. 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 us we imposed sanctions should never have been lifted. because commitment will not weaken. indeed none of us should tolerate these extremists. the 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 well pump a speech that does come during

a controversial phase of the u.s. campaign in syria while but during its troops in the region the united states has recently stepped up the number of strikes that hawkins expands on mine. 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 and how much confusion this discussion has already caused. 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 here recently that we have more time is of no if you really want to have we're going to be removing our troops i never said we're doing it that we. want to wipe your time here but when you want you to be said for months visit. with dr who do

you think they should have heard that word oh we're withdrawing is it mission accomplished as with george bush's iraq war speech things that 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 or to do so from 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 and 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 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

and we haven't even spoken about containing iran. also does the defeat of isis also might. only equal us exit president trump certainly seem to think so we have won against isis we've beaten them and we've beaten a badly but others like. john bolton still talk with 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 attitude to that current strike reports the continued degree addition of vices leads to decreased connecticut t.t.'s 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 attack 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 entity in the kurdish region that effort is failing for various reasons but there and elsewhere there is 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 it hasn't quite materialized with the u.s.

administration seemingly as confused as the rest of us. john hawkins reporting that you've been watching the weekly here in r.t. don't forget that we've got plenty of stories to our website to get a chance to have a look at that said i. will make this manufacture consent instant to the public will. when the room in closest protect themselves. with the flame and merry go round lifts only the one percent. nine week old middle of the room signals. million real news group.

of countries gone into a nihilistic fever best time to think and begun to hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america take the charlatans the genius of this question especially american hero this is and we found a point around which alan is done since we always are on the margins something on this whole gun culture thing for america was. we're starting last with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast and i think i want to leave now governor getting more gonzo than it may be completely different and a mystery. so after reading trash for life i need to be. invited us about three or four of the

twenty fifth anniversary of the founding of the episode. an october fifth or in the past this plane was shot down in a car for the poor play dropping. the corporate terrorists that reagan had privately. and there was one crew member the parachuted to shake the. new regime props many of them for its. minute wisconsin cure me after we arrived. the nikken are when your dish or tribunals take house of course out of the crash site and asked us to events we want to go on a helicopter with our supplies to the crash site house and flush walk through us about all the flights you've been on all these covert flights of army air corps and

he would course angry because he had been abandoned by the reagan administration he was basically a covert operator mercenary he would proud of. his capture would reveal a complex web of covert operations run by us colonel oliver north reagan's administration had bypassed congressional control and funded the contra insurgents through drug trafficking and secret arms sales to be wrong it's all secret but the house in question down blew it out into the open to make a mistake it's really hard to say wrong sir no i'm not taking any more questions and it's just a second i'm going to ask a journey general meese to brief you on what we presently know what he has found in the united states why. somebody didn't tell us why. the revelations of the iran contra affair gave new momentum to the work of the peace activists.
