8:01 am
and the u.n. says people should eat less meat in order to protect the environment and proposes taxing pork and be our guest debate the idea. idea that somehow it's manmade in that crowd flatulence is going to kill millions of people around the equator is just one of the most laughable things i've ever heard if you have to laugh at this because otherwise you would have to take the different scientific. this is our two international coming to you live from our studio in the russian capital where it's just turned three pm welcome to the program. we start in the french capital where the latest yellow bus protest has descended into vandalism and looting and the heavy handed police response behind me you can see the live pictures from the scene. a producer for our teams video agency roughly was hit by a rubber board still making the all of us still feel the need to vent their anger
8:02 am
among rome across despite his having just dropped out are wrapped up in tour of the country as part of his efforts and for international debate now let's look at some of the latest pictures from the. i. thank. you. i. guess thank god thank god thank you thank you thank you. straight live to paris and clear a lot of chaotic scenes on the streets of the french capital over the last few months how does this weekend compare. with the mood here is certainly incredibly
8:03 am
tense here i'm in front of the arctic and you can see a heavy police presence there's a lull in clashes at the moment but for the last two hours or so they have been violent scenes playing out here and along the same cities is now looking at the ground there are chunks of pavement that have been carved out and thrown at riot police officers at the same time they've been responding with tear gas canisters and rubber bullets not a rockley producer was hit by a bullet in his leg and he's currently on the way to hospital and cannot walk at the same time for the past eighteen consecutive weeks we've witnessed these scenes and more than a dozen r.t. and rock stars correspondents and. producers have been injured there is fire behind me so this certainly is something that is burning at the same time there are ambulances that have been ferrying pos we know that at least thirty people have been detained but that figure is likely to climb in the coming hours as the violence here ensues just a lot all at the moment but certainly monitoring the mood in the atmosphere on the
8:04 am
ground people are incredibly angry now as i mentioned this is the eighteenth consecutive week of violence that we are currently entering and today is significant because yesterday was the end of the great debate that the french president emanuel the quantum issue to try and deal with the problem he was engaging with people to try and see how he could better the complaints that drove the yellow vests and others to the streets in the first place gauging the mood here on the street that great debate does seem to have failed and talking to people most believe that nothing has changed at the same time it's worth mentioning that people continue to arrive there are thousands of people many of them have black baloch navas on they waving french flags and so we anticipating a day of violence a day of protests and unfortunately a day in which we're likely to see more more people injured. thank you paula we have seen in the live pictures people have broken into stores windows being smashed
8:05 am
like you said fires were also set so our teams post there in paris thank you for staying across the story and the protests throughout the day for us. a new poll has found that seventy percent of french people think their presence of kurds to engage in the national debate have been a waste of time here are some highlights from a soap box speeches and reactions to them. i'm not going to talk too much as my goal is to listen to you in a free and fair manner. you know i'm not an if i had been born with a silver spoon in my mouth or the son of a politician you could have a go at me but that's not the case you know burned human stupidity even by law so i kept what about this i participated in for a fish with the players it was so much these little soldiers and as a result i was just an official yellow vest representative marcos to not count on one you would have been present as a conclusion to the national debate it happened as it should have he did it only to
8:06 am
hear the movement's complaints and to ease the situation it would surprise me if he takes any measures but i don't expect any here and this is why i'm here we gathering here because this is a real debate. despite the public skepticism ratings have actually improved as of late this month they had their highest level since the dramatic fall last november which is when the all of us protest began we got more reaction to his big debate tour on the streets of paris. what you saw so often in my opinion nothing will come of it micron has a habit of just talking but with no results in the end he knows that european elections are coming up which he doesn't want to lose. at the beginning of his term he was often described hoarse and now he at least is trying to communicate with people that do personally i think it was necessary but i don't think it will really help anything mainly it is a way for mr mccrone and his party to get ready for the european elections which is
8:07 am
a way to let people voice their views without really having to change his policies . it's good to talk always good it's call me i don't think it will change anything this is typical there's a lot of hardware there's a lot of talking he's. shown on. every t.v. show these past months saying that he's going to try to solve problems but the only thing he's doing is talking talking talking and i think that what he doesn't understand is that the french are sick and tired of what they want are real measures taken by the french president and the french government to answer the questions we've had very strong demonstrations and unfortunately macro has so far not grooming the responses so that is why there is this big instance satisfaction with the what beck was doing with this gandhi vanessa you know this big national debate so i think it is a showing that he's trying to use this situation as a political platform to defend himself to prepare actually the european elections
8:08 am
and they made. a vigil has been held in new zealand after a terror attack on to mosques in christ church killed forty nine people over forty others were injured. i just want to. see. any people. you know it's just the rich you see life i want to do what i want to do i want them to know we are together we must fight try. a twenty eight year old australian man appeared in court on saturday and was
8:09 am
charged with one count of murder the suspect has been named as brenton terence the presiding judge said he expected terence would face further charges later on a video of the aftermath of one of the attacks has appeared on social media and warning you might find the following footage disturbing. prior to the massacre a lengthy racist manifesto was posted on a social media page believed to be connected to the gunman there he identifies himself as a fascist and encourages attacks on non-whites calling them invaders as the attack has such shock waves across the globe fingers are now being pointed in many directions as more and gusty of explains. in the hours after the dreadful events in new zealand an act so horrid so soulless that defies understanding in
8:10 am
those hours it seems everyone's become a detective judge and jury everyone seems to know who to blame starting of course with trump mr trump your awards matter. your policies matter here's the u.s. president with his friends trump inspired an australian white supremacist to murder a group of new zealand muslims trump also inspired the murder of jews in pittsburgh now he threatens violence if you lose in twenty twenty america this is the racist thug you elected even the u.s. senate is declared that this was in various degrees trumps fault words have consequences like saying we have an invasion or border. and talking about people as though they were different in some fatal way this partisan madness has
8:11 am
well and truly spilled over the chairman of the democratic coalition has published a poll asking people whether trump was responsible ninety one percent said yes well everyone has a right to their opinion but it wasn't just troubles fault no no you see this he missed massacre carried out by a self professed white supremacy was actually inspired by get this by a black conservative activist. people with deep psychological impairments show the most clearly moments when healthy humans would feel nothing but empathy and sadness and grief candace owens is deeply deeply you know it seems that everyone's milking this tragedy using it as an opportunity. to sling mud at those they disagree with even puti pilot youtube's biggest star even
8:12 am
if he got the blame someone didn't like his blue eyes and blond hair i suppose the white supremacists who carried out the killings of christ church new zealand you'll subscribe to p.d.p. before the shootings i have two to three years were in people about beauty parlors dangerous rhetoric were connections the reason all of these people and others are getting flack is because they were mentioned by the killer in this manifesto in the live stream therefore because they were mentioned by a deranged maniac as somehow complicit the logic goes oh really this madman is being taken seriously c.n.n. is studying his manifesto well so we've been pouring over eighty seven page is a hate filled rants another thing the murderer route is that what he did will set off a larger political conflict global pit the right against the left and
8:13 am
unfortunately it seems to be happening exactly as he wanted because everyone seems to be determined turn run their mouth point the finger blame blame blame selectively of course the shooter also likened himself to nelson mandela and thank goodness no e.d.s. has yet come forward to blame the global i call we discussed the terror attack and the question of radicalization with our guest stephen morse of the english democratic party and catherine schachter of the shack in a institute for middle eastern studies. i think that the issue of radicalism is rampant nine our society and across the board regardless of geography and i think that's a problem we need to actually be courageous about and face up to and it's not limited to islamic radicalism i think that fascism is on the rise wherever and it has
8:14 am
a lot to do with the fact that there's been so much you know identity politics there is so much part of the ring of certain demographics that people always doing behind i would say very practical lines when it comes to the way that they identify politically socially ethnically and of course religiously and this is this is an issue we have this kind of brand new values and now that is targeting everyone i need to see the misreporting or the lack of reporting from the mainstream media and obviously we're going to talk like this all over the world report however when these. attacks in the middle east talking christian groups get don't seem to get the same kind of coverage you saw was the world you saw. somebody with mental problems well no it's not the case we need to start to report these things properly and we need to pour all over my concern now is that they will try and use this to trying to squash any debate or any conversations regarding extremism both from
8:15 am
other police or from. the sky came from people not have an understanding of course that it's ok to go back and killing muslims because that the other day the foreigners and therefore you know they are literally it's open market and then people feel free to just target them or demonize them or criminalize them just for existing in the west you know they have been portrayed so many times as foreigners as if religion is a nationality this identity politics not that is running rampant in our society across the board regardless you know whether we are on the right on the left this is something that is pandemic we are in a situation where we are criminalizing people. differences and trying to withdraw behind incline and it's a dangerous dangerous leap multiculturalism doesn't work it's been shown not to work you can't have different cultures different laws in one place you have to have a common purpose of the common purpose the law of that culture. which you have to
8:16 am
follow what you've got trying to bring people from different cultures into one but have different laws of the want to use their own laws from where the trouble from that doesn't work you know we are losing our values and this this is being seen now and being manipulated by people who do maybe have mental issues but i think a lot of the time is being driven by a very sick and therefore s. agenda they know exactly what they're doing and they're quite happy doing it so the it's a form of global sorceress it would say for more details an update on what happened in new zealand head to our web site r.t. dot com. in other news this hour u.s. special counsel robert muller says he's ready to report on his preliminary findings on alleged trump russia collusion present trump has labeled the probe illegal.
8:17 am
so if it was knowingly and acknowledged to be zero crime when the special counsel was appointed and if the appointment was made based on the fake dossier paid for by crooked hillary then the special counsel should never have been appointed and there should be no more to report this was an illegal and conflicted investigation in search of a crime the president's words come just one day after the house unanimously voted four hundred twenty eight to zero for the report to be disclosed the dossier everyone is referring to is the infamous still dossier which accuses trump of links to the kremlin it was indirectly funded by the us democratic party and written by former british intelligence officer christopher steele that also suggests russia has compromising material on the us president. recently released testimony given by a u.s. justice department official sheds new light on the steel dossier or says he told the f.b.i. it was likely biased against the us president are to scale up and has more. meet
8:18 am
bruce or he's a former associate attorney general and director of the federal organized crime and drug enforcement task force his testimony about the christopher steel dasi on trump is now in the media's focus under review apparently is demoted d.o.j. official or big story in washington those allegations that russian officials have compromising information about donald trump tonight we're learning more about bruce and here's why according to the latest revelations bruce or is looking a little bit two faced here's face number one so the record is clear what the department of justice and the f.b.i. was aware of prior to the first foreign intelligence surveillance act application with relationship with christopher mr bush against donald trump when i spoke with the f.b.i. i told the my wife was working for fusion g.p.s. i told them fusion g.p.s. was doing research on don't trump i told them this is the information i had gotten
8:19 am
from chris steele now that so lace has an unconfirmed dossier written by christopher steele is the basis and foundation of the trump russia investigation according to his testimony given behind closed doors bruce or thinks it might be biased against donald trump he testified that christopher steele seemed determined that trump not get elected i provided information to the f.b.i. when i thought christopher steele was as i said desperate that trump not be elected so yes of course i provided that to the f.b.i. now at least some in the justice department were actually suspicious of steel from the beginning but let's look at face number two despite his warning about the da ca mr or and mr steele were in close contact you have my sympathy and support if you and i really need another viewer a contact point or number who is briefed a million francs understood i can certainly give you an f.b.i. contact if it becomes necessary now for ten months after donald trump was elected
8:20 am
bruce or function. as the middleman communicating with mr steele on behalf of the justice department so on the one hand we've got bruce or testifying before congress under oath that mr steele had an ax to grind that he wanted trump to be removed and that his report may not be credible but on the other hand we've got bruce or communicating with christopher steele and reassuring him that everything's going to be ok almost as if they're working together now after two years of investigating collusion it seems that congress has finally found some but it wasn't between trump and russia a little mop and artsy new york protests and telling city after to wreak convictions are overturned that story and more after the short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation
8:21 am
let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development is only going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. with lawmakers manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final. gifts and be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick.
8:22 am
welcome back to the program the un has concluded that in order to protect the environment people need to eat less meat the report suggests a tax on red meat saying it will not reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make people rethink their diets. it's estimated that worldwide emissions taxes on foods could save around one gigaton of c o two and results in net health benefits at the global level due to reduced consumption of meat their report also stay. that space for livestock accounts for almost eighty percent of farmland in the world and livestock industry is considered one of the main contributors to deforestation in the amazon we put the issue up for debate with social and environmental justice campaigner george barda and former republican state senator john loudon. i think
8:23 am
the important thing from my point of view is that as a point of principle the idea that we try in bring in the real well understood costs of meat eating to human health to the planet we bring that into the can on that calculation i think that clearly makes sense one thing it tax would do is as we know is make people more poor i mean we know that in the united states we typically except in most states not california that taxation is supposed to be about raising money to operate government change people's behavior if you're going to go down the road of taxing things to change behavior then we make enemies of our neighbors or people in america and europe there are billions of dollars of negative health impacts from meat consumption but what we're talking about across the world is devastating impacts already to hundreds of millions of people from the climate change the meat eating drives enormously we have all sorts of looming crises i mean
8:24 am
this is absolutely demonstrably the case we're already seeing droughts floods typhoons flattening countries this idea that somehow it's manmade and that col flatulence is going to kill millions of people around the equator is just one of the most laughable things i've ever heard and it's really amusing to see people like you come on with such veracity as if you've got your case prove it and you have to laugh at this because otherwise you would have to take the new different scientific strands that demonstrate this seriously and what we're talking about is millions of lives already being hugely damage and impacted by the pollution caused by the meat industry. you know we have the healthiest we have probably among the healthiest poor in the world here in the united states the lifestyle the poor here very well taken care of and because we have the largest to care for them and by the way they eat a lot of meat in this country so it's hugely destructive to the health of the
8:25 am
united states i mean you would really struggle to find a single medical professional these days that wouldn't agree with the fact that we need to reduce we need to reduce consumption of meat and dairy to live happier and healthier. hundreds of people protested outside in telling appeals court this week after two men were cleared of rape in part because the alleged victim was deemed too unattractive to be a target to judges express various reasons for deciding to acquit to defendants but one was because they said he didn't even like her because she was ugly also wrote that a photograph reflected this in two thousand and sixteen the two peruvian men were convicted of raping a woman in the a tion city of n. kona however they were later acquitted by the appeals court and the grounds for the ruling have only now been revealed the judges all female decided that the defendants could not have been attracted to the alleged victim they said that she was quote too masculine in appearance now the woman also of peruvian origin was
8:26 am
twenty years old at the time of the alleged attack doctors said her injuries were consistent with rape and found traces of a date rape drug in her blood the woman's lawyer said that she was forced to return to peru as she couldn't stand the burden of what had happened to her the case will now be heard again at another court there was much anger online about the latest ruling. i guess in italy the men never get free since they're all masculine in siri anyway while done in italy i had no idea that masculine women were not deserving of dignity this is what rape culture looks like judges in italy have ruled it can't be rape because the victim isn't pretty enough are to discuss the issue with actress and model paula selena she thinks that this case illustrates why many women do not report rape to the police this whole situation is disgusting and absolutely unacceptable you know. least eight and here to warsaw are to make progress for
8:27 am
women rights and wednesday whishaw lead the state police jackie gays are much more war. subjects more than eighty percent of graves are never even reported to police and it does show us why i. wish you. a subjective opinion struck. it's a shocker said the judge and do not believe their bashing i'm using it all and peace and war ok. that's our global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always had to our website r.t. dot com for up to the minute reports.
8:28 am
the hour. alright. thank. god i'm going to regret it because it was a comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents yes let's start off tonight with a topic some of you might not have heard of but i think it's important it's called if i'm pronouncing this correctly racism. and if you live in my home state of virginia it is all the rage right now right i mean that's to call her all right
8:29 am
apparently if you're an elected official in virginia hating black people is the new black it is hot right and some forms of racism are easy to say such as. but although you know luckily though they did cover up some of it with the sheet but. other racism systemic racism is not as obvious and a lot of people try to claim it no longer exist. silicates gone one of my systemic racism black panther was the most popular movie avner therefore racism over well i want to show you three recent studies that prove just how over systemic racism is let's start with schools all right slightly important couple of weeks ago as new education report found overwhelmingly white school districts received twenty three billion dollars more than predominantly nonwhite school districts in state and local funding in twenty sixteen despite serving roughly the same number of
8:30 am
children and try to act like that doesn't influence a kid's entire life right when he or she doesn't get a good education i mean the kids of the wider schools are doing their homework on a mac books a lot is supplied by the school while the don white school kids are doing their homework on a big mac. you know that. today kids the science class will be dissecting the double quarter pounder with cheese because the stay won't supply us with enough progress. this is when the liberals say that's because we have a racist president who hates funding the education of people of color actually that twenty three billion number is from twenty sixteen while obama was still in office but that can't be i thought obama and it all racial inequality rather people i love and took the pops to the world.
