yes to shape out just to come out to and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart if we choose to look for common ground. water cannons are called into action. rallies are staged for a consecutive weekend across france president launching a national debate to placate protesters. u.s.

president trump addresses the nation with a border security proposal which he says could the government shut down by the democratic leadership in congress says the offer brings nothing new to the table. both in the u.s. president special counsel robert muller forcefully rejected an incendiary new buzz feed report wrongdoing by donald trump. and from the airport to a jail cell r t speaks to a friend and former colleague of an american born iranian journalist detained in the u.s. her freedoms are being abused the t.v. anchor is a material witness a case which is yet to be made public. she is an american. without trial without information it's true.

thomas certainly glad to have you with us. right a tenth consecutive saturday of yellow best protests have taken place nationwide in france over what they call rising living costs and government policies that is despite the president mike wrong's efforts to quell the unrest by launching a national debate which he has promised resulted in a new social contract tear gas and water cannons were again deployed by police to disperse the demonstrators. you're seeing the first tensions here in paris today as x. time is underway of those relations over in the distance you might be able to see the water cannon they're trying to disperse the protesters oh 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 displaced it looks like there's some people down on the ground a little bit further over that boy it sri looks like a potentially could have been she is not you can see the protesters are trying to say that she drove 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 but this year lesions of all students just speech egypt those figures from the ministry over the in syria 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 those eyes since november seventh seeds. of course is the right one and we're not going to change it just because the wind is blowing. i will not concede

anything to those. we want to struction and disorder. take my share of responsibility. as you can see some damage to a vehicle that protesters trying to throw project just to wards the 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 ensues as a trying to get somebody injured out of these crowds at the moment there's also

being 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 smashed up i mean really has just gone from total cohen even to chaos in just a matter of moments. her this protest was meant to be in tribute to the people who have joined in these protests since they began and also been injured in these protests and it looks like it could be even more injuries today. that. donald trump is speaking from the white house has presented a proposal he says could solve the current crisis over government funding the shutdown in the u.s.

now in its fourth week spawned by a disagreement over border security offered what he calls a compromise to democratic leader. eight hundred million dollars in urgent humanitarian assistance. eight hundred five million dollars for drug detection technology to help secure our ports of entry an additional two thousand seven hundred fifty border agents and law enforcement professionals. seventy five new immigration judge teams to reduce the court backlog of believe it or not almost nine hundred thousand cases to physically secure a border the plan includes five point seven billion dollars for a strategic deployment of physical barriers or a wall the president promised that he would have a major announcement today and there were some details about at least beforehand

and that was that he was going to provide to three years of protection for darker recipient here in the united states now that is what he mentioned in his speech he's still asking for that five point seven billion dollars in border wall funding however his language on that was a little bit different this time around he mentioned that he wasn't looking for a wall to cover the entire southern border however he does want structures in certain areas and he's asking for more in terms of border security and a lot of different areas now house speaker nancy pelosi has already responded to released a statement and said that she does not accept what trump called a commonsense compromise unfortunately this proposal is a completion of several previously rejected initiatives each of which is in the except to bill and a total do not represent to restore certainty to people's lives it is unlikely that

any one of this provision saloon would bust the house and taken together the nonstarter so it looks like in the next week we could see some wonders lation presented by trump and the republicans and we could also see some legislation presented by palosi and democrats however it remains to be seen exactly how they're going to come together or if that is going to happen. donald trump has firmly rejected a damning new report by buzz feed news. which claims he instructed his former lawyer michael cohen to lie to congress about a planned business deal in russia cohen is among those being investigated in a russia collusion probe investigation itself is being led by special counsel robert muller who the president thanked for not giving the buzz feed article any credence i think that the. great work

it was a great journalist and i appreciate. it but. i think very appropriate so i very much agree. all right the report detailing cohen's alleged confession and to special counsel miller's election meddling investigators 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 reports 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 that as bombshell report coming from buzz feed news president directed his attorney to lie to congress about the moscow tower project congressional democrats calling for an immediate investigation declaring the trunk must be impeached at the story is true the media quickly picked up on this story despite the fact that the whole piece is based on anonymous sources are washington correspondent dan cohen has commentary.

buzz feed news released a major report alleging that u.s. president donald trump has received ten personal updates from michael cohen and encouraged planned 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 cash t.v.

and fake fraud and of course he's a key figure in the investigation of where the so-called russian collusion probe of 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. 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 and we did say that we we've seen documents we've been briefed on documents we're very confident in our reporting was 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 interesting 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 him selfe 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 hated lay wrong and who perhaps allegedly his own may call into

question his veracity and nothing's ever done you have a new it's a journalistic force and sachems 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 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 news can certainly spread if it's fits a particular narrative and that's exactly what has put republican senator lindsey graham in the mainstream spotlight after a comedian tweeted that russia has him cornered. lindsey graham is so obviously being blackmailed by russia. but.

a republican just told me that. graham is going to try and in directly because he's being blackmailed rather he thinks probably involve some pretty serious sexual looking. for donald trump got elected lindsey graham called a racist. bigot. donald trump or somebody knows something. about lindsey graham. i am sure there is something happening with him based on what. that's a remarkable comment to make about a sitting u.s. senator. the at the evidence really. present. presented to us in the way that.

is disrupting democracy everywhere in the united states and in me a democracy to interfere in our elections we don't care why we're going to. russia . it's not a normal country. all right a u.s. court finally sheds a light on the case of an american born iranian journalist who has been detained without charges more on that after a short break this is our two international. you

want to make sure that the quality is not just a slogan of misery but it also is associated with the rise of the startup of leave how can you have a rise in the standard. by having people who are rich saving investing . broadening increasing the size of the national park so that you can distribute pull everything.

welcome back to international now an american born journalist who works as a news presenter on iranian state t.v. has been arrested in the u.s. stands as a material witness in an undisclosed case a court order revealed on friday that although she has been detained she has not been charged with a crime. generation seems ok bad. she was not happy. with the fact that certain data restrictions were there's just absolute straczynski are not being accounted. for her headscarf had been the answer will. be.

we are concerned by the arrest of a journalist for iranian state t.v. marzieh hashemi we have serious concerns about her detention and we urged american authorities to clarify the situation. she's a famous journalist she's done nothing but judaism and the arrest 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 should eat meat you've got to debate the. r.t.l. spoken exclusively to a close friend of the jailed iranian t.v. anchor she shared her concerns about the legality of mars here detention and the

conditions she is being subjected to in custody. the only information and contact the family have had with my z. is a telephone call to her daughter on tuesday where they received information from him as he told her daughter that she had her job she is a muslim woman who was 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 on that she was given only a short sleeved t. shirt in contravention to her own islamic dress code her islamic that she that she west 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 in absence given adequate food because she was not given allow muslim option or a vegetarian option on tuesday the only conversation they 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 them that is what her son has said the children have been subpoenaed as well and they have no idea why you can imagine how worried they offer their mother and how nervous they are about the situation marcy 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. has shown me must testify before a grand jury investigation after that she will be released however many are 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 that 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 that the children i have a cat all the organizations they all stink information as to why she is being

detained that'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 think 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 on acceptable and the family is demanding to know what is going on with that mother that grandmother that you know she is a sister she was traveling to the united states to. see her ailing brother that she has the right to do so without fearing to tension taking an internal flight. seventy one people have been killed and dozens of others badly burned in a pipeline explosion north of mexico city. it is believed to have been caused by thieves who were trying to siphon off fuel

oil had reportedly been spilling out for several hours before the blast happened officials 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. a car has exploded next to a courthouse in london day area north ireland according to local police and no one was injured and the area has been evacuated as police fear more car bombs could possibly be in the area minister for foreign affairs and trade simon company condemned the explosion and characterized as a terrorist attack of course we'll keep an eye on this developing story and bring you more information as it comes in. deadly clashes between rival militia groups erupted in libya's capital tripoli this week according to the libyan health ministry the clashes killed thirteen and wounded fifty two including children.

we've reached terminal debt. that no amount of economic activity going forward will ever provide the tax revenues sufficient to pay down the step we're past the point of no return we've gone through the debt looking glass this means only one outcome the central banks will continue to print to keep the interest going on this insurmountable debt pile which means wealth and income gap are guaranteed to increase which means the g.l.a. show movement is going global and the global insurrection is upon us and that's a guarantee. but there's someone else living inside of me or controlling my body.

the byproduct. the drug is the cause like some fear depression. because it literally need him into a zombie it's crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault you know she's crazy and all that. here's traumatic next long time to get rid of. welcome her dad to the night re ip i'm leaving camp today i get in to the goals and

strategies of extinction rebellion. you may recall that extinction rebellion has done a terrific job of drawing attention to climate change and our impending extinction if we do nothing with their protests in the u.k. now they're bringing in their show to the king of pollution the good o. of us. i talk with a member of the new york city media group rory varadero and in the second half i get into the huge defeat recently handed to your friend of mine the breathalyzer it's a step in the right direction in terms of decreasing this country's in same prison population but first here's my conversation with a member of extinction rebellion rory varada rory thanks for joining me thanks for having me so. i didn't know you could be protesting for sustainable environment and also have a pocket square but your opponent off so well done thank you and i'm glad you noticed the pockets were actually has symbolic significance if you like oh yeah oh

please go. yeah this for me symbolizes something significant related to extinction rebellion if you're familiar with american working class history the term redneck comes from coal miners strikes in appalachian they would wear red bandanas around their necks and so for me the green bandana on which this is cut from represents working class solidarity but also environmental ism. ok the green bandanas so that's kind of i know that's kind of the symbol of the extinction rebellion. so you know i i've been fascinated with their protests in britain and now some people like you are trying to get extinction rebellion rolling here in the us but we've got it endless already of protests against climate change there's been you know marches in new york the big ones that attracted tens of thousands of people to new york city and you know who i think had corporate sponsors etc what makes extinction rebellion

different. great question extinction rebellion is a completely decentralized organization rooted in autonomy and based on the presupposition that there are folks out there who are sort of already on this page recognizing that we're in a climate emergency and that urgent direct action and civil disobedience is demanded and so extinction rebellion is designed to be able to be deployed locally in areas where people can come together and unite around our core demands and principles and take action that they see fit they see fit excuse me based on their understanding of the situation in their locality. you know one of the key things is that it is decentralized it doesn't have you know a figurehead at the top you're not going to probably see al gore marching at the front of these things so do you feel like why is out of.
