america. police are just in front of us so we caught between the by police and. the worst massacre in the history of new zealand has been charged with murder at the shooting forty nine people in a manifesto that surfaced online just crowds of. europeans
3:01 pm
. and hundreds have been protesting in italy and cleared of right with a panel of female judges giving the victims on the track to one of the reasons. you are watching our team to national great to have you with us. we start this hour in the french capital where the yellow vests descended into vandalism and looting and the strong police response more than one hundred people have been arrested. i.
3:02 pm
thank you the protests are getting more and more violent and things continue to be burnt over here further by police who are just in front of us so we caught between the riot police and the protesters so. we're just going to move down a little bit but with passing flames the streets of paris resemble something like a war zone i mean everywhere you go these shops burning face a beating there's tear gas canisters that on the ground is tear gas being fired rubber bullets the police have now positioned themselves just a little bit to the side now passing a lot of people who have injuries left turn to church. and clothing has been looted and stolen. so this is what it's like to be caught in the line of fire between the riot police which are just to my right the protesters that are just over here as you can see everything's on fire these motorbikes have been put on fire the crowd is starting
3:03 pm
to walk down the side street and that's because if you look just behind me right now you can see the the riot police are just behind them so they probably going to start charging in a minute with the riot police running to catch people ok so you can see the riot police if they get hold of somebody who's obviously a public tour they're carrying him aggressively dragging him one of their own. these are the water cannons so face preparation to perhaps fire water at the crowds and the crowds are being pushed further down the sham cities there and the riot police are moving towards what kind of caught in between the two of them which is not the safest place to be so we're going to try and get out of this a little bit but the crowd really is just walking down the road. thank god the country's interior minister saying that they believe there are about one and a half thousand of these protesters who are here just to cause damage and just to cause violence so he these are the most violent. we've seen in paris in recent
3:04 pm
weeks but it's reminiscent of the chaos the frustration and the anger against president mccracken's government now there's a number of stun grenades firecrackers that are being fired tear gas that comes every few seconds in fact the organizers did say that today was an ultimatum being presented to president mccrum after the great debate ended but again just to look at the streets there's a lot of fires there's a lot of destruction to the glass there is a lot of chaos and the tensions just continue. during that unrest a producer for ati's video agency of broccoli was hit by a rubber bullet while filming he's currently in hospital from where he spoke to us . you know what really. yeah i was thinking if i were covering the reporter you know that. you were predicting from forty.
3:05 pm

3:06 pm
a twenty eight year old australian has appeared before a court in new zealand over friday's mass shooting in christchurch in which forty nine people were killed brenton talent has so far been charged with one count of murder although further charges are expected to follow prior to the massacre a seventy four page racist manifesto was posted online on a side believed to be connected to the gunman there he identifies himself as a fascist and encourages attacks on nonwhite saying that they are invaders. i think i. was sad. because. i. was.
3:07 pm
just the monument machine money came from all my world oh my god what happened to me no it was believe me it was pretty distraught over the bad calls just received in terms. of what we saw nelson mandela named there as an inspirational figure behind the attack but he wasn't alone donald trump and the norwegian white supremacist a mass murderer and brevik were also listed the attackers said he wanted his actions the pits political parties around the world against each other because the of explains. in the hours after the dreadful events in new zealand an act so horrid so soulless that defies understanding in those hours it
3:08 pm
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 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 words have consequences like saying we have an invasion or border. and talking about people as though they were different in found fatal way this partisan 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
3:09 pm
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 even beauty pyatt 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 were in people about peter. dangerous rhetoric we're connexions the shooter also likened himself to nelson mandela and
3:10 pm
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 or 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 whether it's christians or anyone else it is about turn it people on themselves and the terrorists and i think most most countries these days do
3:11 pm
realize that there's a problem is not only with islamic terrorism it's with these right wing people it's 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 see in new zealand. a vigil is being held in new zealand following friday's terrorist attack other countries have also joined the mourning vigils held in canada the u.s. u.k. and the vatican among others in solidarity with a nation that suffered the worst terrorist attack in its history. u.s. special counsel robert mueller says that he's ready to report his preliminary findings
3:12 pm
on alleged collusion between russia and donald trump the us president is branding the probe illegal so if there 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 moola reports this was an illegal in conflicts of the 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 dossier mentioned by trump is the infamous feel report and the reporter who broke that news later said nothing in the dust is verified the report was in directly funded by the us democratic party and drawn up by former british intelligence officer christopher steele the dossier claims that russia has compromising material on the us president
3:13 pm
recently released testimony from a u.s. justice department official sheds new light on the steel dossier bruce source says that he warned the f.b.i. it was likely biased against the us president elect morgan explains. 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 or 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 with your relationship with christopher mr bush is against donald trump when i spoke with the
3:14 pm
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 them and 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 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
3:15 pm
end up out i really need another bureau 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 the tween trump and russia mop and r.t. new york. in a scene reminiscent of the viral video game angry birds protesters have launched hundreds of toy pigs ukraine's presidential administration to demonstrate to this

3:17 pm
clear you're around to listen to the woman. who ignore middle route signals. to lead them to the real news is. it's up to the government to step in and be a player in the economy not just an enabler for monopoly 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.
3:18 pm
hundreds of people protested outside an italian appeals court this week after two men were cleared of rape in part because the alleged victim was they not attractive enough to have been a target. to judges express various reasons for deciding to acquit a defendants but one was because they said they didn't even like her because she was ugly they also wrote that a photograph reflected this in two thousand and sixteen the two peruvian men were convicted of raping a woman in the italian city of ancona but they were later acquitted by an appeals court the grounds for that ruling though only just being revealed the judges all female decided the defendants could not have been attracted to the alleged victim because she was said to be too masculine in appearance. the woman also a peruvian origin was just twenty years old at the time of the alleged attack doctors said that her injuries were consistent with rape and that they found traces of a date rape drug in her blood the woman's lawyer said that she was forced to return
3:19 pm
to peru and she couldn't stand the burden of what had happened to her the case will now be heard again in another court and there was much anger online about the latest ruling i guess in italy the men never get free since they're all masculine in theory anyway while down 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 actress and model lino believes that the case demonstrates why many women don't report rape to the police this whole situation is this good and absolutely unacceptable you know that in this day and year from warsaw to meet grow older women rides a wednesday whistle at the state police believe gays are much more war there if. somebody just murdered eighty percent of prey but never even reported orly's and
3:20 pm
started a shot while he was shooting at us a subjective opinion struck me. is there. anyone out there bashing have you seen got any war. tens of thousands of cattle on independence supporters of march through central madrid with ash tags fake justice banners calling for the release of former catalan leaders facing decades in jail nine defendants are on trial for staging a banned referendum in two thousand and seventy and declaring catalan independence the protesters who say the defendants are political prisoners also want a fresh independent vote. for. a new report by the un says in order to protect the environment people need to eat
3:21 pm
less meat it suggests a tax on bread meat saying that it 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 livestock industry is considered one of the main contributors to deforestation in the amazon so we put the issue up for debate with social and environmental justice campaigner george barda and former republican state senator john loud. 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
3:22 pm
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
3:23 pm
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. i have to the health of the united states i mean it's you wouldn't 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. that wraps things up for this news i'll be back with the very latest news headlines more now top stories in just over half an hour's time.
3:24 pm

3:27 pm
really defense forces were involved in the killing of american activist rachel corrie coming up in the show. does change today. i think even on the sense that interview with one of the world's most popular living philosophy has. dissecting the major issues facing the planet today level remains but durable quite zero republican or democrat coke or pepsi but first the consulted as are the daily mail and your peers is here to keep us abreast of a chaotic week at the british breaks at prices that are things going on you've been on british t.v. still it seems at all hours of the day think the issues in. getting lost in this process of parliamentary chaos i think i've got lost with the issues to what is the issue now is the incompetence and chaos in ten downing street never before have i seen a prime minister humiliated by not one but four cabinet ministers who refused to support are normal circumstances they will be taken out and shot none of them are

a long term survival rate in downing street the lady is on the way out even away from college green opposite parliament there's a whole section of a kind of leftish bent who say we should be reforming the european union for me inside what do you think this whole process is toward us about if we had tried to reform brussels of the european union from the inside instead of bricks it the some people were arguing that at the time that we should have tried to reform brussels from within look we've had successive prime ministers have been down that route namely thatcher john major people remember him it's beyond reform he has five unelected presidents joke. it spending is out of control its accounts and never written off they are never going to divest power back to mother parliament it is a rotten organization in the any piece half of their expenses they don't have to account for a single penny of it it's a rotten in my view and the way they have bullied britain shows we joined a club with the most vicious people running it well for all the alleged corruption
3:30 pm
there remarkably unified of the twenty seven members against the british different conceptions and ideals that and certainly in support for ireland they're united for one reason they're terrified of a country going to follow britain and lead the european union we are one of the biggest contributors and they're trying to say to the rest of europe it's not easy to leave us the rules of this cover pretty tough the five presidents all men notice going to do everything in their power and they still are to try to keep britain in that's the game for them they want to drag this process out as long as possible because they cling to the hope they'll be a second referendum in britain and that would result in a different outcome i'm telling you it would know all of this process in parliament seems to be going the way of jeremy corbin's policy curiously reluctant to match the second round of referendum which you just said is an old gods really do you think the overriding concern.
