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 thad have 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 but. 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 seeing flames. thanks thanks thanks 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 people are still out on the streets they've been here since early this morning and that's a cost bottle that's been thrown the scenes continue to unfold and this despite the fact that the great debate which the french president mccrone initiated ended. 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 on the rest of producer for r.t. is video agency ruptly was hit by rubber bullets while filming he spoke to us from hospital. you know very. well. for a very long. way

. from today's. demonstrations were also seen elsewhere in france on saturday in leon some yellow vests protesters joined a march against climate change there i took place without any serious incidents but after we finished there were some scuffles with police. when the participants 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 authorities but as many as thirty thousand according to the organizers. museum police say the death toll of friday's mass shooting in christ church has risen to fifty people with fifty others injured when the eight year old australian has appeared before a court following the massacre brinton tyrant has so far been charged with one count of murder although further charges are expected to follow prior to the

massacre of seventy four page racist mother first it was posted online on a page believed to be connected to the gunman there he identifies himself as a fascist and encourages attacks on non-whites saying they are invaders the gunman reportedly e-mailed his manifesto to the prime minister's office minutes before the attack took place.

not just the monument splashing on me something oh my god oh my god remember the no it was believed it was the body to start with the bad calls just to see themselves . you saw nelson mandela names there as an inspirational figure behind the attack but he wasn't alone donald trump pounds the norwegian white supremacist on mass murder and as graphic were also listed the attack is that he wanted his actions to pit political parties around the world against each other but gas diaz has more details 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 policy is not or 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 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 were in people about p.d. pies dangerous rhetoric were connections the shooter also likened 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 lives therefore because they were mentioned by a deranged maniac as somehow complicit in the logic goes. well really this mad man is being taken seriously and larger political conflict global pit the right against the left and unfortunately it seems to be happening exactly as he wanted we do 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 that's terrorist feed and i think most most countries east 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 is to catch people before they actually got their 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 the horror in new zealand has inspired thousands of people around the world to protest against islamophobia as they mourn the deaths of the fifty victims. but if things happen when people are doing. however an australian senator fraser decided to put the blame for the attack on immigration after his comments a young man broke an egg on the back of his head the politician then responded by punching him in the face. of a chill has been held in new zealand following friday's terror attack other countries have also joined the morning with the 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.

and other news now u.s. special counsel robert muller 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 more to report this was an illegal in conflicts and investigation in search of a crime. the president's words come just after the 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 on the reporter who broke the news later

fed but nothing in the dossier is verified the report was in directly 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 us justice department's official sheds new light on the still dossier the or ses he warns the f.b.i. that it was likely biased against the us leader artie's kaleb more pain has more details. 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 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 salacious an unconfirmed 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 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 six british 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. r.t. new york. in

a scene reminiscent of the viral video game angry birds protesters have launched hundreds of toy pegs that ukraine's presidential administration building demonstrators demands that president poroshenko close business associate to surname sounds like the ukrainian word for pig be jailed for corrupt and thousand people took part in the rallies although authorities insist that it was only one fifth that number the protests were arranged by an opposition party ahead of presidential elections later this month. 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 deemed not attractive enough to make her a target. the judges expressed various reasons for deciding to acquit to defendants but one was because they said they didn't see 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 a parent's. but when the woman also a peruvian origin was twenty years old at the time of the attack doctors said her injuries were consistent with rape and found traces of a date rape drug in her blood the woman's lawyer said that she was forced to return to peru if she couldn't stand the burden of order to happen 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 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 raped because the victim isn't pretty enough. the model

paulose a leaning believes the case demonstrates why many women don't report rape to the police. this whole situation is this good and absolutely and that's it of oh you know in this day and age when warsaw was to make progress for women's rights and women's the wish i had the state police just give me gays are much more war. some i'm just more eighty percent of gray but never even reported to police and started like these are shot while he was shooting that's a subjective opinion struck only. if they are sharpton said the judge and not all their backs are using the war. tens of thousands of cattle on independence supporters of march through central madrid with hash tag fake justice palace calling for the release of former cats love leaders

facing decades in jail nine people are on trial for staging a bounder referendum in twenty seventeen and declaring 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 a rebellion however catalan leaders are not giving up. is accurate we are 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 we are free and until our right to self-determination is respected with someone we support independence or not but what is going on today in the supreme court this big trial is in breach of fundamental rights. and your report by the un says in order to protect the environment people need to eat less meat it's just the taxol red meat think 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 state 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 we put the issue up for debate with social and environmental justice campaigner george barda and former republican state senator john lauder. 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 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'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. supporters of venezuelan president nicolas maduro have gathered for a march through the country's capital account to protest in support of opposition

a very unique collection. casually often plastic bags. and this was all coiled up in the stomach when i found it had no idea what it wasn't i all that it just. or did you react when i'm this installment i was shocked i started documenting at measuring it taking photos showing whoever else was around in the lab and we were kind of. we were just in their shock to think that these fish are are really ingesting this i mean. to her disbelief the scientists has found plastic in the unlikely specimen known as the long fish. the young researcher was not expecting such a surprising discovery when she began this. fish lives at a depth of about two hundred to four hundred meters and they're clearly coming in
