the reasons. very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r.t. h.q. in moscow where it's just turned six pm thanks for joining us this hour. we start in the french capital where the latest role is have descended into vandalism and looting and the heavy handed police response these are some of the latest pictures from the demonstrations. thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. thank. you thank you if. this is the eighteenth consecutive week speed chase here both are to cast is really really intense and

we've got the canisters that are being thrown at us at the same time we've got the protesters that are approaching but. at the at the octave thank you. there are barricades that are being set up around it the police have cordoned off the whole area and all of this the eighteenth consecutive week that we've seen such demonstrations on the streets of paris there does seem to be a more heavy police presence today with protesters saying that this is really the ultimatum that they giving the crowd to step down and as you can see the protesters taking chunks of off metal barriers to barricade themselves up against the octave trail and the tear gas is coming in our direction. seventy percent of people saying that they believe those great to pates that mcconnell instigated were simply

a waste of time here you can see the police are starting to come in our direction so they've got they've gotten the whole protest is. moving just in front of us over here paul istria oxy paris. during the day is a producer for our video agency ruptly was hit by a rubber bullet while filming he's currently in the hospital from where he spoke to us. there you are to my feet. are worth covering the you know they're putting. you approach it from forty's but not that you actually. do it three. weeks later if you pick your. way to checkmate with. what it took to today let's put it.

like you the first one i think lot of molech there were a lot of people. trying. to fight for you. oh yeah it was a difference from today. another headline news today a vigil has been held in new zealand following the terror attack on two mosques in christ church which left forty nine people dead and more than forty others injured other countries are also taking part in the morning with vigils being held in canada the u.s. the u.k. and the vatican among other places first reports of the shooting came at one forty pm local time and the all nor mosque minutes later another mosque just five kilometers away also reported being under fire and video of the aftermath of one of the attacks has appeared on social media a warning you might find the following footage disturbing. the the

the the. the you know. the. the. the initially four people were detained over the attack although one was later released after it turned out the our men have been trying to help the police not the attackers among the other three is the man believed to have been the shooter a twenty eight year old australian man appeared in court on saturday and was named as brenton terence he so far been charged with one count of murder although the presiding judge said he expected turned would face further charges later on. prior to the massacre a seventy four page 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 thing they are invaders in the manifesto he also names the figures who inspired him with donald trump and the norwegian white supremacist and mass murderer. among about an attacker also said he

wanted his actions to pit political parties around the world against each other garcia has more. in the hours after the dreadful events in new zealand and knocked su horrid so soulless that the flies understanding in those hours it seems everyone's become a detective judge and jury it seems that everyone's milking this tragedy using it as an opportunity to sling mud at those they disagree with starting of course with trump mr trump your awards matter. your policy is not to use the us president with his friends trump inspired an australian white supremacist to murder a group of new zealand muslims words have consequences like saying we have an invasion or border. and talking about people as though they were different in some

fatal way these pod the sudden madness has 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 their most clearly moments when healthy humans would feel nothing but empathy and sadness and grief candace owens is deeply deeply even beauty pilot youtube's biggest star even if he got the blame the white supremacists who carried out the killings of christ church new zealand you don't subscribe to

p.d.p. before the shootings i have two to three years working people about p.d. pis dangerous rhetoric were connections the shooter also like in himself to nelson mandela and thank goodness no e.d.s. has yet come forward to blame the global icon 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 another thing the murderer roots is that what he did will set off a larger political conflict global pit the right against the left and unfortunately it seems to be happening exactly as he wanted we see the whole

all about terrorism is to turn one section of the community against another whether it's muslims or wethers christians or anyone else it is about turn it people on themselves and the terrorists and i think most most countries these days do realize that as the problem is not only with islamic terrorism it's with these right wing people is also we've got to be aware that the only way really to stop to catch people before they actually got the guns and you know we live in a difficult world and we live in an open democratic society and if you if you have those freedoms of course people will make use of those freedoms as well and that's what we've seen in new zealand. for more details an update on the tragedy in new zealand head over to r.t. dot com. u.s. special counsel robert muller says he's ready to report his initial findings on alleged

collusion between russia and donald trump the american president meanwhile is burning the probe illegal 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 fate dossier paid for by crooked hillary then the special counsel should never have been appointed and there should be no mood to report this was an illegal and conflicted investigation in search of a crime the president's words come just after the house unanimously voted four hundred twenty to zero for the report to be disclosed the fake mention by trump is the infamous steele report and the reporter who broke the news later said that nothing in the dossier is verified the report was indirectly funded by the us democratic party and drawn up by the former british intelligence officer christopher steele the dossier claims russia has compromising material on the us president. recently released testimony from a u.s.

justice department official sheds new light on the stale dossier roots or says he wore the f.b.i. that it was likely biased against the us president artie's killed mufon reports. bruce sor he's the former associate attorney general and director of the federal organized crime drug enforcement task force his testimony related to the christopher steel dossier on trump is now in the focus of the media 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 was your 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 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 and 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 things understood i can certainly give you an f.b.i. contact if it becomes necessary now for ten months after donald trump was elected 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 up and r.t. new york coming up in the program protests and then telling city after two rape convictions are overturned that story and more after this short break.

it's up to the government to step in and be a player in the economy not just an enabler for monopolies you know the government should be competing for health care and drug prices they should be competing in transportation and education and they should offer an alternative people should be able to get a public utility bank for example account and get out of the matrix of the big wall street banks they don't have that option they should have that option and therefore you would restore some competition in the economy. they tasted as because that's what happened as a big comment what you don't is in that case if you it gives it not is that one thing is to leave e.j. c.p.u. it even more big news for you don because if we. saw there's

even the bush. welcome back to the program hundreds of people protested outside in a tiny an appeals court this week after two men were cleared of rape in part because the alleged victim was deemed not attractive enough to make her a target to judges express various reasons for deciding to acquit to defendants the one was because they said they 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 and the italian city of an kona however they were later acquitted by an

appeals court but the grounds for the ruling have only now been revealed the judges all female decided the defendants could not have been attracted to the alleged victim because she was said to be quote too masculine in appearance now the woman also of peruvian origin was 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 system 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 be heard again at another court you know all there was much anger online about the waves ruling. i guess you need to worry the men never gets raped since they're all masculine anyway well 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 we spoke to actress and model paula so we know she believes the case demonstrates why many

women don't report rape to the police. this whole thing question is this good in and absolutely terrible you know least eight and yet. to make progress for women's rights and when she whistle at the state police the gays are much more war there is. somebody more than eighty percent of gray but never even reported to police and thought that these are shot while. he was shooting that's a subjective opinion from. if they said the job and not their backs and abusing it was ok. and the report by the u.n. says in order to protect the environment people need to eat less meat it's just a tax on red meat saying the move will 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 result in net health benefits at the global level due to reduced consumption of meat the report states that space for livestock accounts for almost eighty percent of global farmland the lifestar 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 lott of. i think the important thing from my point of view is that as a point of principle who 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 moment 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 not 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 this is absolutely demonstrably the case we've already seen 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 and 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 distro. active to the health of the united states i mean it's 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 our consumption of meat and dairy to live happier and healthier. the dangers of fake news especially when it comes to the recent events and venezuela have been put through their paces by marks

a swath of reject an r.t.s. going underground here's a quick taster for you. you know what's so dangerous about guide dog of course of course you know i did meet united states but you know i'll get my tour over by ground up again the enemy of truth any death row machine of in israel i'm going to probably out of today i'll probably end meet the police operation and so on and so on if you want to make deeply affect the easter a bit mediocre steadman this too a lot and so on and so on so again i repeat i find the most dangerous faking us into stand still so as politically motivated propaganda in. many ways the truth which you know just element of truth your legs sound undoubtedly true and you organize them into an idea we placed in the chair of a life. that's

a wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like twitter and facebook for up to the minute reports. of a bad. law was there was. was.

the internet was not built. security so we have to take it to a different level and we have to take the new value that is five g. level when you can embed security security as an industry and the security has all they need to expose the fears and all the hacking devices so that people get afraid and believe that if you. know we have to come up with a new infrastructure this is very important to start thinking positively about the new tools to build a new system. this is a stick from the old water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones there the litter bugs are trying this way industry should be poison for all this

waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. onto. their plastic cost me on my end i need to stay on your phones at special projects funding me. on i'm your best bet is the end of it for the team but for now the mountains of moist only grow higher. it's a report on max because or yeah you know it's you go back to glasgow to the yes bar and rally the troops because i think it's time for scotland to have another referendum you know get rid of that get out of the. yeah. stacy

troublemaker they're actually from clay and maxwell causing trouble again we can lead the revolution from caliber at castle right there down on the border so you know there's also another revolution happening here elizabeth warren paul the ninja moved to turn tech angst into a crackdown with real teeth and tech is going to suffer even if she's not president this is from a business insider and they say elizabeth warren's call for breaking up amazon facebook and alphabet represent a real threat to those companies even if she doesn't become president her proposal thread in support of spotlight on those companies and their business practices one that could expose them to reputational harm moreover every presents an attempt to gain support for a rethinking of and to trust policy one of which regulators scrutinize the effects of concentrated corporate power on things other than just consumer prices amazon facebook and alphabets powerless benign if you would only from the lens of consumer

prices their power that's much worse if it's broader effects are taken into account well you know this is really the other and of a long. period which i will put under the heading of reaganomics remember a reagan took over where you took. wind. and it was. of a period of deregulation and we love every monopoly that comes down the pike. and corporate america can do no wrong right so that was a whole reagan period reagan period so now we're at the end of that so now the pendulum is swinging wildly in the other direction whether to. her policies or elizabeth warren bernie sanders socialism is back back in the mix right so that's this is a new era this is a brand new year this is interesting for me i guess i've been around a lot a while so it's like i'm i'm witnessing the birth of

a whole new era in american politics ok so let's roll back this story antitrust antitrust is something you and i have been covering and i've used math still or his work a lot he's he does all this and so i trust work and trust has not been enforced there are laws against it on the books but that we have not enforced if the past thirty five years and that's because we decided our politicians rather decided that it's only price and it doesn't matter as if eighteen t. owns every single line and alan that's eighteen t. is the only person the only company sorry i know they have personhood now the only company from which you could buy telephone or internet services from if they are the only ones as long as their prices stay low that's fine so what is now happening is that people are starting to realize that it's more than just prices i mean after all facebook's services are free you don't have to pay a single dime for them nevertheless how about the power they are able to exert not

only on our politics and our culture but also they prevent innovation from ever happening and that is that important to capital society these are the questions we should at be asking or is it like the neo liberal trick where they just point to one thing as we did this many contracts or that you know we got your price lower but is of prizes in other words of yours sounds great well as what dorna sung and it's currently going to get a lot of attention but it means higher prices. so the do people are when it comes time to vote and you're like ok i want to pay more for everything do i really am i going to vote for that and the answer is no you won't get public backing for this idea number one number two the what you're describing there are lower prices and appeasing voters voters through lower prices this is socialism this is what we see in countries with like let's say venezuela the gas there is very cheap it's very very cheap over the sort of market price for gas right there is like people don't

pay a market price for getting stuff on amazon they don't pay a market price for getting information on the internet because it's socialism because you don't have any competition in the system anymore if elizabeth warren were interested in really architecting the economy so that it has a fairer distribution of both risk an opportunity she would say get rid of the current socialist system run by central banks that are manipulating the price of money let's bring in actual competition free markets and we'll have a much better economy we have of alleged free market health care system in america in fact what you will find is there isn't much competition in many states because remember we everything is organized by states here so the insurance has you know blue cross blue shield has everything in north carolina ok they're the only ones with obamacare but we have the most expensive health care in the world and yet the socialist systems of europe asia pretty much the best the world has

a socialist health care system universal health care and their prices are much much cheaper so here we have the most expensive prices in the world and partly it's because of anti-trust and in fact all largely because of antitrust so we have the worst of all worlds because we have so-called free market whatever the market can bear whatever you the chum on obamacare can bear they'll charge you that insulin prices some insulin prices just rose tenfold for example in the past month was that a free. is that the an abusive all of gospelly and monopolies that control these prices ok so in europe you have quote unquote socialism and an example would be health care and health care is cheaper that's big but they're not purely socialist countries the.
