violent clashes plumes of tear gas and fires marked the eighteenth we count of the yellow vest protests in france our reporter was right in the middle of the unless. this is the eighteenth consecutive week that it's been this year of such a cast is really really due to. 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 are threatening the existence of all european. and hundreds of

protests in italy after two men are cleared of rape with a panel of female judges giving the alleged victims unattractiveness as one of the reasons. a very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with mina care and we start in the french capital this hour where the latest going to vest rallies have descended into vandalism as looting the protests have been met with a strong police response almost two hundred people have been arrested with sixty others injured paulus leo was at the center of the unrest throughout the day. the situation here on the subsidies is getting increased. more violently

demonstrators have been using plastic bottles they've been using firecrackers and they've also been destroying a number of buildings there's 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 ambulances 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 octave 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 burnt over here further by police just in front of us so we caught between the riot police and the protesters so. we're just going to have done a little but that could cost in flames. thanks thanks thanks for 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 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 mccracken 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 to produce of artes video agency rapidly was hit by a rubber bullets while filming he spoke to us from hospital. covering. you over.

well. over a long lake making. a difference from today's. demonstrations were also seen elsewhere in france on saturday in live on some yellow vest protesters joined a march against climate change there i took place without any serious incidents but after it finished there were some scuffles with police. when the participants regrouped in the center of leon the police used tear gas to disperse the crowds there were twenty thousand people at the climate rally according to the author 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 christchurch has risen to fifty people with fifty others injured a twenty eight year old australian has appeared before a court following the massacre current interim so far been charged with one count of murder although further charges are expected to follow prior to the massacre seventy four page racist mother fester it was posted online on a page believed to be connected to the gunman the that he identifies himself as a fascist and encourages attacks on non-whites saying they are invaders but gunmen reportedly e-mailed his manifesto to the prime minister's office minutes before the attack took place.

not just the monument splashing money something on my road oh my good will never be no it was believe it was the body the sun or the back doors just to see if that shows. we saw nelson mandela names that as an inspirational figure behind the attack but he wasn't alone donald trump on the norwegian rock white supremacist on mass murder and his brevik were also listed the attack us that he wanted his actions to pit

political parties around the world against each other why gas you have explains. in the hours after the dreadful events in new zealand a magnet 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 policies matter here is 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 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 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 p.t. party's dangerous rhetoric or connections the shooter will soon like and 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 turning people on themselves and the terrorists and i think most most countries these days do 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 a 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. 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 suffered the worst terror attack in its history.

in other news 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 the investigation in search of a crime the president's words come just after the white house unanimously voted four hundred twenty two zero for the report to be disclosed the fake dossier mentioned by trump is the infamous still reported and the reporter who broke the news later said that nothing of the dossier is verified the report was indirectly funded by the us democratic party and drawn up by

a former british intelligence officer christopher stale the dossier claims russia has a compromising material on the us presidents recently released testimony from a u.s. justice department official sheds new light on the still dossier grooves or says he warned the f.b.i. that it was likely biased against the u.s. presidents on the scale of 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 with 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 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 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 mop and r.t. new york. in

a scene reminiscent of the viral video game angry birds protesters have launched hundreds of toy pigs that ukraine's presidential administration building demonstrators demands that president poroshenko his close business associate name sounds like the ukrainian word for it take be jailed for corruption when asked despite pushing to launching a corruption probe organizers say more than ten thousand people took part in the rallies although authorities insist it was only one fifth that the protests were arranged by an opposition party ahead of presidential elections later this month. still to come protests in an italian city off the two rape convictions are quite we have details on that story and plenty more in just a couple of minutes. they

dated as because at that app has become a top forty dot is staying in the game c.p.u. it gives it not think that one day is to be leaving j.c. view it is one more big killers for your god because it gives three bags the audience to do even the boards. you know world of big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

welcome back hundreds of people protested outside an italian appeals court this week off the two men were cleared of rape in pots because the alleged victim was deemed not attractive enough to make her a targets 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 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 however they were later acquitted by an appeals court but the grounds for that ruling have only now been revealed the judges all seem l. 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 of peruvian origin was twenty years old at the time of the alleged attack doctors said her injuries that 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 you need to leave 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 have ruled it can't be raped because the victim isn't pretty enough actress and model powerless the leni believes that 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 years in warsaw to make progress for women rights and wednesday whish earlier the state police just really gauge how much more war there is. somebody just murdered 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 are sharper said the judge and do not hold their bachelor boozing got any war. tens of thousands of cattle on independence supporters have marched through central madrid with hash tag fake justice banners calling for the release of four my cats along 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 engaging in rebellion however catalan leaders are not giving up. we're here because of political prisoners and for freedom in order to draw attention to this free trial and this injustice we won't stop until they are free but until our right to self-determination is respected. someone will support independence or not but what is going on today in the supreme court this week trial isn't a fundamental right. a new report by the un says in order to protect the environment people need to eat less meat it suggests the attacks on red meat think it will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make people we think that diet. 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 and a full state space for livestock accountable most eighty percent of global farmland the livestock industry is considered one of the main contributors to the fire station in the town is that when we put the issue up for debate with social and environmental justice campaign in july and former republican state sen john loudon . 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 comic 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 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 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 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 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 our consumption of meat and dairy to live happier and healthier. supporters of that as well and president nicolas maduro have gathered for a march through the country's capital account to protest in support of opposition leader and self-proclaimed president john why don't was help as well why don't we address his supporters in the northern city of the landsea as part of his tour through a country suffering an economic and political crisis as leader of the opposition

controlled national assembly promised to deliver a better life for fifty cents claiming that his movement is stronger than ever meanwhile even outside of venezuela some people are expressing their support for president. in washington hundreds rallied outside the white house to protest against u.s. sanctions on venezuela and what they call a coup attempt madeira thanks the demonstrators for their expression of solidarity for lost the first level we could discuss the dangers of fake news about finance weigh on our program going underground here's a quick taste if we. don't want to show dangerous about got a dog of course of course you know united states but you know. i mean dream. you need that either for their opposition to venezuela bit and probably out of today i'll probably enjoy meat but police operation and so on and

so on that's what made heat island effect the heat through a bit mediocre stead when there's no way a lot and so on and so on so again i repeat my point eat the most dangerous fake news industry and still saw as politically motivated but i don't doubt. many relate to the truth with us and the end of truth you're correct sound bombed out which are undoubtedly true and you organize them into an idea we placed in a jail and i. look back at the top of the.

breaks it count down tonality. during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was most of my family were unemployed working. there wasn't it was bed you know much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. of there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the ten principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduce democracy at tax solo down to engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no i'm jones to one set of rules for the rich opposite set of rules for. that's what happens when you put power into the hands of a narrow sector of will which will is dedicated to increasing power for just as

you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. i didn't think the number. they've matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happens each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent and the world market goes thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three first second first second and fifth when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i it does work but don't let the numbers overall. the only number you need to remember is one one business showed you know for the mid one and only boom bust.

it's kaiser report because or yeah you know we should go back to glasgow to the yes bar in rally the troops because i think it's time for scotland to have another referendum that you know get rid of that get out of the. yeah. stacie 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 told a ninja move to turn text angst into a crack down 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 it represents an attempt to gain support for a rethinking of antitrust 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 the law loan period which i will put under the heading of reaganomics remember a reagan took over where you took. wind. and i was. proud of the.
