living costs and government policies passed us by the president of micron's efforts to quell the unrest by launching a national debate which he's promised will result in a new social contract take us on what kind of work and deployed by police to disperse the demonstrators. thank you. you're seeing the first tensions here in paris today as act time is under way of the. over in the distance you might be able to see the water cannon they're trying to disperse the protesters away from this area we did see protesters actually trying to break down some of the traffic lights and we've also seen tear gas being just mostly looks like there's some people down on the ground a little bit further over that boy a tree looks like a potentially kind of remains she is not you can see the protesters are trying to

throw back at the tear gas of pellets now she would say the police. official figures from the interior ministry say around seven thousand people are out in paris today taking part in this tense weekend of protests according to those figures across france it's twenty seven thousand individuals that is followed lower than the figures we saw just a week ago when there were more than eighty thousand people out across france but the surely shields of all students just future egypt whose figures from the ministry over the interior well as we can see there is anger on the streets now let's take a look back now at that anger that's been bubbling owes us since november seventy. no the course is the right one and we don't come to change it just because the wind

is blowing. i will not concede anything to those who want to struction and disorder. i. take my share of responsibility. as you can see some damage to a vehicle that protesters trying to throw projectiles to wards of police and somebody that being dragged away looks like they've received an injury as a result of something that's been hit and then you can see just chaos ensuring as a trying to get somebody injured out of these crowds the moment there's also

feeling months of violence against journalists in these protests and it was actually a protest underway today against that violence i can just hear behind us something sounding like it's being snatched up i mean really has just gone from total cohen to chaos in just a matter of moments. during this protest was meant to be in tribute to the people who have joined in these protests since they began and also being injured in these protests and it looks like it could be even more injuries that i. try to pass than a rejected at. arming a new report by buzz feed news which he claims instructed his former lawyer michael cohen to lie to congress about

a planned business deal in russia cohen is among those behind a being investigated in a russia contusion probe the investigation itself is being led by a special counsel robert miller whom the president planned for not giving the buzz and article and he credence i think that. the. great work. with great journalist and i appreciate you coming out. right i think very appropriate so i very much agree that. the report detailing cohen's alleged confession to special council members investigation into election meddling has caused a sensation in the media it was branded a bombshell article and immediately led to talk of impeachment president trump is facing new scrutiny today over a report that he told his personal attorney to lie to congress about his business dealings with russia we have breaking news tonight on the russia investigation

here's what buzz feed news is reporting or on tonight's bombshell report coming from buzz feed news president trump directed his attorney to lie to congress about the moscow tower project congressional democrats calling for an immediate investigation declaring the trial must be impeached if the story is true the media quickly picked up on the story despite the fact that the whole piece is based on anonymous sources our washington correspondent dan cohen takes up the story buzz feed news released a major report alleging that u.s. president donald trump has received ten personal updates from michael cohen and encouraged to plan meetings with russian president vladimir putin. president donald trump directed his longtime attorney michael cohen to lie to congress according to two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter and even as trump told the public he had no business deals with russia the sources said trump and his children if the and donald trump jr received regular detailed

updates about the real estate development from cohen whom they put in charge of the project a michael cohen is the former lawyer of donald trump he was sentenced to thirty six months in prison after he pleaded guilty to lying to congress about the trump tower plan he's also admitted to campaign finance violations tax evasions and fake fraud and of course he's a key figure in the moeller investigation where the so-called russian collusion probe and the two journalists wrote in their article that they didn't actually see the court documents or any evidence that they base their reporting on rather they were briefed by two anonymous law enforcement officials and jason leopold that one of the authors of this buzz feed article has a history of fabricating sources regarding the cohen story today leopold told m s n b c that he had actually seen the evidence showing that trump instructed michael cohen to lie to congress and it's a total contradiction to what's written in the article and what his co-author has

said i don't think that we've said that we haven't seen that but i will say that i'm very confident that your colleague said on c.n.n. this morning that you were briefed on these documents we've been i did say that we we've seen documents we've been briefed on documents we're very confident in our reporting does feed has problems all the way around not to mention the people who actually write for it. the authors have real credibility problems they can't get their story straight and their sources whatever those are named an unknown which we've gotten used to in this country is being credible so maybe. this is been manufactured to give some interest and relevance to to to that continued testimony by this perjurer by this liar by this guy you can't form a sentence in the english language without indicting himself over it i'm at a loss as to the excitement over this there's there's no there there on top of which the president through his counsel denies it flatly so you know if there's

evidence it's hard to say that you deny something if there's evidence for it did journalism it's groups of people who slap together a website you get people who are paid to report who are wrong including one of these fellows who has a bit early heated layer wrong and who perhaps allegedly his own may call into question his veracity and nothing's ever done you have a new a journalistic force and factions of the american people who don't care whether this story is true they like the story because it makes trump look bad and if the story makes trump look bad they like it we've seen some democrats promise that they will investigate the report calling the allegations against trump quote among the most serious to date some have even gone so far as to call for president trump's impeachment so we'll have to see how this one pans out and these can certainly

spread if it hits a particular narrative and not exactly want to put a public consultant you can name in the mainstream spotlight off to a comedian that russia has in cornett. lindsey graham is so obviously being blackmailed by russia. a republican just told me that he graham is going to trump and in directly putting because he's being blackmailed rather he thinks probably involves some pretty serious sexual looking. for donald trump got elected lindsey graham called donald trump a racist. bigot donald trump or somebody knows something pretty extreme about lindsey graham. i am sure

there is something happening with him. that's a remarkable comment to make about a sitting u.s. senator. the evidence will. present. presented to us in the way that. is disrupting democracy everywhere and i mean the united states and in me a democracy to interfere in our elections we don't care why we're going to hit you hard russia. is not a normal country. and america works as a presenter on iranian state t.v. has been arrested in the u.s. as a material witness in an undisclosed case a court order revealed on friday that although she had been detained she's not been charged with a crime. generation

seems ok bad. she was not happy. with the fact that certain doubts her instructions were there's a stab her instructions were not being accounted. for her head scarf had been removed against her will. we are concerned by the arrest of her during those four iranian state t.v. more zia hashemi we have serious concerns about her detention and we urged american authorities to clarify the situation. and she is a famous journalist she's done nothing but journalism and the rest of mrs hosiery

is a very clear affront to freedom of expression a political abuse. of an innocent individual. i believe the united states should review to eat meat you've got to give it the. r.t. has spoken exclusively to a close friend of the jailed or a new t.v. anchor she shared her concerns about the legality of marjah how shame is detention and the conditions she's being subjected to in custody the only information and contact the family have had with matters here is a telephone call to her daughter on tuesday where they received information from him as you told her daughter that she had her job she is a muslim woman who wears her job a veil covering such as will time wearing at the moment that was taken off against

her will the mug shot was taken without her job one that she was given only a short sleeved t. shirt in contravention to her own islamic dress code her that she she wears and that she had to gain another t. shirt just to be able to cover some of her hair she also told her daughter that she wasn't absent given adequate food because she was not given allow muslim option or a vegetarian option on tuesday the only conversation they've had with her she told her daughter that she only been able to eat a cracker or some bread that came with that food since being detained if they had questions about four miles here in regards to an issue she would have all this of them that is what her son has said look children have been subpoenaed as well and they have no idea why you can imagine how worried they are for their mother and how nervous they are about the situation my see is an internationally known journalist

and she's been a journalist for many decades she is an american journalist and she has been detained without charge without information so it's truly very concerning according to the court order which was issued by a u.s. district court in washington d.c. show me must testify before a grand jury investigation after that she'll be released however many of still concerned by the detention including a number of human rights groups. there's a grand jury investigation nobody knows what it's about and she's being held as a material witness which means that she's not the person accused but they think that she knows something about a crime a felony a very serious crime and it's serious enough that a judge has authorized her arrest so whatever is happening it is under the supervision of the judge what's disturbing is that two of her children were also subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury here in washington d.c.

so what could she possibly have been involved in that her children also would know about she has the rights to do journalistic walk for whichever outlet she chooses to do in any part of the world that she chooses to and she also has the right to travel freely as a journalist and as a citizen throughout the united states she's a journalist unless we're saying now donald trump's america journalism is a crime you know i have no other answer to that the the children the i.f.j. cat all the organizations they all scream for information as to why she is being detained so there's something very dark going on in the united states at the moment you know there's islamophobia there's this anti iran sentiment there's this anti media anti journalism sentiment unprecedented times in the united states and i said that my friend i'm a journalist and she is a fiery journalist as has been victim to that and it's unacceptable and the lack of information is unacceptable and the family is demanding to know what is going on

with their mother their grandmother that you know she is a sister she was traveling to the united states to. see her ailing brother she has the right to do so without fearing detention taking an internal flight. at least sixty six people have been killed and dozens of others and badly burned in a pipeline explosion north of mexico city. it's believed to have been caused by thieves who were trying to siphon off fuel all had reportedly been spilling out for several hours before the blast happened under official say hundreds of people were filling up plastic containers the nation's president is now promising a crackdown as this weekend's blast marks one of the deadliest explosions in mexican history. still to come germany joins the ranks of western countries dialing

this is blooms last broadcast around the world and covering the world of business and finance and the impact upon all of us i'm part chilton coming to you from miami florida at the north. point conversation we have a show for you today all block jane crypto stuff all the program we can't wait to get to it you're ready let's go and we're here with the levin the c.e.o. and founder of keynote mo so great to have you with us. so we're at the north american bitcoin conference obviously and you put these conferences together all over the country in the world in fact to tell us about the excitement that continues to be around kryptos a bit point even though last year was sort of a down year but it seems to be like and continue to generate a lot interest there is a lot of interest and it was surprising to most of oh i don't know if this is going to be a funeral or a party i had no way of knowing because of last year and. that's when we have five

thousand people that how can we beat that in a bear market like this the people here are very excited keep growing he building. let me and we ask him ok so. you deal with the people that have the booze except just inside the door is there and my experience although we had somebody here last year but i wasn't here but my experience at these conferences that a lot of times they were sort of there one year the not there the next year they couldn't raise money except but it seems to me that maybe you have some repeat folks trying to sell their wares and get money is that is that the case or is that just what i'm thinking you know from the from the events we have about a seventy percent retention rate. sponsors keep coming back what's interesting about this event in particular is some of the biggest companies in the industry of started here and have met their co-founders here from twenty fourteen the theory munching on this stage to when chain the co-founders of the entry meeting last year . in twenty fifteen starting their business together. and sponsors continue to see

value and extract value from these events conferences are unique place for people to meet each other and grow their network. the online environment is only so good exchanging e-mails and calls and forums provide only so much but the data transfer rate of talking to somebody is so much faster and high quality than talking online and no i mean you've got all sorts of people here speaking and that's one of the other benefits of these conferences who are you and you're speaking who are you excited to here today there's a many great speakers that come to the bank and we have a wide range because crypto has a wide range of people in the ecosystem. we're opening up the day with that little birth russ's mom. and ross unfortunately famous from the silk road of course with two back to back life sentences in prison for running the.
