it was it was. violent clashes plumes of tear gas and fires marked the eighteenth weekend of the yellow vest protests in france our reporter was right in the middle of the young where. this is the eighteenth consecutive week fifty feet this year of the tear gas is really really intense. the death toll in the terror attack in new zealand has risen to fifty people with the man accused of shooting people in two mosques now charged with murder a manifesto that surfaced online just before the assault stated that nonwhite invaders off the rhetoric threatening the existence of all europeans. and hundreds

protest in italy after two men are cleared of rape with a panel of female judges giving the alleged victim's unattractiveness as one of the reasons. very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me becky aaron great to have you with us this hour and we start in the french capital where the latest yellow vests rallies have to send getting see vandalism and loosing the protests have been met with a strong police response and those two hundred people have been arrested with sixty others injured honestly it was at the center of the unrest throughout the day. the situation here on the subsidies is getting increasingly. more violently

demonstrators have been using plastic bottles they've been using firecrackers and they've also been destroying a number of buildings is a bank in a side street that has burnt down and a number of kiosks have also been completely destroyed and for that reason we have been abbeville and says coming in and out and also a number of fire brigades to come and put out the fire thanks thank god this is the eighteenth consecutive week at a speed chase here of the to cast is really really intense and we've got the canisters that are being thrown at us at the same time with the protesters that are approaching good but. at the at the act of three armed thank you. there does seem to be a more heavy police presence today with protesters saying that this is really the

ultimatum that they're giving the crowd to step down. the protests are getting more and more violent and things continue to be bent over here further by police not 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 could cost in flames. but. thank the country's interior minister saying that they be there 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 scenes we've seen in paris in recent weeks but it's reminiscent of the chaos the frustration and the anger against president maccollins government. thank you. people are still out on the streets they've been here since early this

morning and that's a gas bottle that's been thrown the scenes continue to unfold and this despite the fact that the great debate which of the french president mccrone initiated ended yesterday more than seventy percent of french saying that they believe that it is simply a waste of time the french president certainly will continue to struggle to contain this anger on the streets of paris policia r.t. paris during the unrest a producer of artes video agency raptly was hit by a rubber bullets while filming he spoke to us from hospital. you know very.

well. make. a difference from today's. demonstrations were also seen elsewhere in france on saturday and early on some yellow vests protesters joined a march against climate change the one i took place without any serious incidents but after it finished there were some scuffles with police. when the participants were regrouped in the center of leon police used tear gas to disperse the crowd there were twenty thousand people at the climate rally according to the office artie's but as many as thirty thousand according to the organizers.

new zealand police say the death toll of friday's mass shooting in christ church has risen to fifty people at twenty eight year old australian has appeared before a court following the massacre bernsen terrence howard so far been charged with one count of murder although further charges are expected to follow prior to the massacre seventy four page a racist manifesto was posted online on a page believed to be connected to the gunman there he identifies himself as a fascist and encourages attacks on nonwhite saying they are invaders the gunmen reportedly sent his manifesto to the prime minister's office minutes before the. attack took place.

not just the monument splashing money and simple my world oh my god what happened to know it was believed it was the body to start with the bad calls just to save themselves. we saw nelson mandela names that as an inspirational figure behind the attack but he wasn't alone donald trump and little wheaton white supremacist and mass murderer and as breivik were also listed the attack i said he wanted his actions to pits political parties around the world against each other. in the hours after

the dreadful events in new zealand america so 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 not the. your policy is not that 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 invasion our border. and talking about people as though they were different in some 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 yes well everyone has a right to their opinion but it wasn't just trump's 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 working people about beauty parlors

dangerous rhetoric or connections 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 the reason all of these people and others are getting flak is because they were mentioned by the killer in this manifesto in the lives tree therefore because they were mentioned by a deranged maniac as somehow complicit in the logic goes. well really this madman is being taken seriously another thing the murderer wrote 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 only people on themselves and that's terrorists and i think most most countries these days do realize that there's a problem it's 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 this is to catch people before they actually got their guns and you know we live in a difficult world and we live in a 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 a vigil has been held in new zealand following friday's terror attack other countries have also joined the morning with vigils being held in canada the u.s. the u.k. and the vatican among others in solidarity with a nation which the for the worst terror attack in its history.

moving on now u.s. special counsel robert miller says he's ready to report his preliminary findings on alleged collusion between russia and donald trump the american president is branding 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 report this was an illegal in conflicts of investigation in search of a crime the president's words come just after the white house the house unanimously voted four hundred twenty two nil for the report to be disclosed the fake dossier mentioned by trump is the infamous deal reporter the reporter who broke the news late is that that nothing in the dossier is verified the report was indirectly funded by the us democratic party and drawn up by

a 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 still dossier or says he warns the f.b.i. that it was likely biased against the u.s. presidents more pain 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 da ca 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 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 end up out 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 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 it would mop and r.t.

new york. in a scene reminiscent of the viral video game angry birds protesters have launched hundreds of toys paid to ukraine's presidential administration building demonstrators demands that president poroshenko as close a business associate name sounds like the ukrainian would be jailed for corruption despite poroshenko launching a corruption probe organizers say more than ten thousand people took part in the rallies although authorities insist that it was only one fifth. the protests were arranged by an opposition party ahead of presidential elections later this month. protests in it and thirty off the two rape convictions are quashed the story and more in just a couple of minutes. 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 their economy. from. the infinite with no bill for 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 in the security has all they need to expose the fears and all they can devise is so that people get great and believe that if you're good we have to come up with a new infrastructure but it is very important to start thinking positively about

the new tools to build a new system. welcome back hundreds of people protested outside an italian appeals court this week after two men were cleared of rape in pots 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 but one was because they said they didn't even like her because she was ugly dolls or wrote that a photograph reflected this. in twenty sixteen the two peruvian men were convicted of raping a woman in the italian city of ancona however they were later acquitted by an appeals court but the grounds for that 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 too masculine in apparence the woman also of peruvian origin was twenty years old at the time of the alleged attack doctors said her injuries were consistent with reypen found traces of a date rape drug in her blood the woman's lawyers that she was forced to return to peru as she couldn't stand the burden of what had happened to her the case will not be heard again at another court there was much anger online about the latest ruling i guess in italy the men never get three since they're all masculine in theory 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 ruled it can't be raped because the victim isn't pretty enough tristan's model powerless are lenient believes the case demonstrates why many women don't report rape to the police. this

whole situation is this good and absolutely and you know are in this day and year to warsaw to make progress for women rights and women see where surely at the state police gays are much more war. some i'm just more than eighty percent of gray but never even reported to police and i said these are shot while he was shooting that's a subjective opinion struck only. if they're sharpton said the judge and mumbled their backs and argues you've got. tens of thousands of cattle independent supporters have marched through central madrid with fake justice banners calling for the release of former catalan leaders facing decades in jail nine people on trial for staging a banned referendum in twenty seventeen and declaring catalan independence the

protesters who say the defendants are political prisoners want a fresh independence vote madrid considers the independence referendum illegal charging the defendants with a gauging in rebellion however counted on leaders are not giving up. exactly what we're here because of political prisoners and for freedom in order to draw attention to this free trial and this in justice we won't stop until we are free and to our right to self-determination is respected up with someone we support and the promise or not but what is going on today in the supreme court this week trial is in breach of fundamental rights. a new report by the un say is in order to protect the environment people need to eat less meat it suggests attacks on red meat saying 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 results in net health benefits at the global level due to reduced consumption of meat they report states space for livestock accounts for most eighty percent of global farmland the livestock industry is considered one of the main contributors to the forestation in the amazon we put the issue up for debate with social and environmental justice campaigner george barda and former republican state senator john lauder. 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 a 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'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 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 destroyed. so as 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 thanks to teasing off the international this hour we're back in thirty minutes with the late tuesday.

after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the book different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in a home field where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw one on t.v. . i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to the. by the way ways of that slide here. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

i'm up and someone. bought thing of course to costco. or you. can focus on the. fourth and i don't think i want to discuss the one. thing i thought it was a. because i mean why do you show when you think you just got time he. looks stupid you can't stand. still so well for you i think i think ok you say give us a shout. you just get nothing. but i like in a way i can't. pull this one like the united. states

. at. the redacted in the night this is a comedy show we're americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. 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 all right i mean that's to call her all right apparently if you're an elected official in virginia hating black people is the new black it is hot. and some forms of racism or 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 exists iligan is gone one of my systemic racism black panther was the most popular movie avner therefore racism over well i want. show you three recent studies that prove just how over systemic racism is let's start with schools all right slightly important a couple of weeks ago a 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 two thousand and sixteen despite serving roughly the same number of 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 six team while obama was still in office but that can't be i thought obama and it all racial inequality brought people i love and took the pops to the world you know not exactly your only two words off though obama ended all reporting on racial inequality you see the difference i just stop talking about systemic racism against black hispanic and indigenous people exist no matter who's in the white house let's move on to climate change right

there can't possibly be racial disparity there hurricanes don't exactly only hit black people well unless you ask cnn's wolf blitzer there are so tragically so many of these people almost all of them are that we see are so poor and they're so black this is going to raise lots of questions. and that. is why wolf blitzer. is their longest serving host in the history of beer to television. anyway those ridiculous comments aside the racism impacts communities of color after the floods have subsided to a new investigation found is that white communities nationwide have disproportionately received more federal buyouts after a disaster than communities of color you see one of the things fema does is they damage properties after an emergency what's the federal.
